The slope was well-drained and breezy, which reduces fungal infections on grapes and vines. In a minor miracle, her soil turned out to be gravelly instead of shallow topsoil overlying the area's typical granite ledge. "That's important because grapevines don't like having wet feet," she notes.
But the vines posed a bigger challenge than that.
Finally, she tracked down new strains of French-American hybrid grapes being developed at the University of Minnesota to withstand -50-degree winters. In the spring of 2004, she planted 27 varieties of them – 250 vines in all – on her hillside. Over the next two years, 25 varieties stood up to the climate and Carter replaced the less-hardy strains with new ones. Meanwhile, read everything she could find on wine-making, attended conferences and workshops, visited winemakers, and, of course, sampled lots of wines.
In 2006, she bottled her first vintages and kept experimenting with other varieties. In 2008, with two trial crushes behind her, she released her first commercial wines, one of which – her LaCrescent dry white – won a silver medal at the Eastern States Exhibition wine show. Today, she has 27 strains of wine grapes and four of table grapes.
The new variety is a red wine grape called Petite Pearl, which is bred for disease resistance, high sugars and tannins – which gives that dry feeling in the mouth – but less acid. "It's going to be interesting to see what it does," she says with relish.
From only 1,400 vines on just five acres, Carter produces from 16 to more than 20 wines each year, from her varietal white LaCrosse and Louise Swenson and red Marquette and Sabrevois to her signature Barnett Hill White and Barnett Hill Blush blends.
After the grapes have been crushed and the juice has fermented, farming and production gives way to art. If this batch ferments longer, will the balance of alcohol and sugars improve or deteriorate? If this wine is exposed to oak, will the flavor be richer and more complex or just muddy? The vintner's palate is the artist's eye, the composer's ear.
And each year brings new experiments. In the spring, Carter invites a few select friends with exceptional taste – literally – to advise her in blending.
"In any wine, you look for aroma, 'mouth-feel'" – subjective feelings of dryness, heaviness, roughness on the tongue, and so on – "and finish. Some wines may be good in one or two but weak in another. So you blend wines that will go together not just in taste but that give you balance in all three areas." Small amounts of the blends are left to rest for a few days to see how they mingle; some wines that marry well at first turn out to be unable to live together over time. "These decisions are critical because they're irrevocable and I have to live with the results for a long time," she says.
So far, Carter's palate has guided her well. The wines are selling briskly and are developing a following – shipping as far away as Florida and California to satisfy folks who've developed a taste for her art.
Carter's experiment in cold-weather wines is gradually proving successful but "all of this was a gamble," she admits. She'd worked in advertising, accounting, export, and other fields of business, so running an enterprise wasn't a risk. She also had the support, and donated labor, of her "board of directors" – husband Paul Kranowski, who labors alongside her in the vineyard; son Nick, who designed and updates the winery's labels and website; and daughter Mariah, her utility player. The challenge was in seeing whether these new strains of grapes would not only grow here but whether they could flourish – not to mention learning the complex and subtle intricacies involved in blending art and chemistry to make wine she could be proud of.
Her casually elegant shop and tasting room, which also offers a variety of locally-made products, is open Saturdays from 11 to 6 and Sundays from 12 to 4 through December 23, with private tastings available by arrangement. Call or check the website for additional days and hours. Private tastings are available by appointment. The winery's fare also is available all the time at www.bhvineyard.com.

Loss of Control in Flight: Rotary RAF 2000, N47EB; Accident occurred December 07, 2019 at Millard Airport (KMLE), Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska
Aviation Accident Final Report - National Transportation Safety Board
Federal Aviation Administration / Flight Standards District Office; Lincoln, Nebraska
https://registry.faa.gov/N47EB
Location: Omaha, Nebraska
Accident Number: CEN20TA030
Date & Time: December 7, 2019, 13:55 Local
Registration: N47EB
Aircraft: Rotary RAF 2000
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
On December 7, 2019, about 1355 central daylight time, a Rotary RAF 2000 rotorcraft-gyrocopter, N47EB, impacted terrain at the Millard Airport, Omaha, Nebraska. The pilot, sole occupant, received serious injuries, and the gyrocopter sustained substantial damage. The gyrocopter was operated by and registered to a private individual under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight.
The responding Federal Aviation Administration inspector reported that the gyrocopter had impacted terrain near the parallel taxiway and came to rest on its side. A review of security camera video revealed the gyrocopter approached runway 12, then veered right towards the taxiway and a building, before gaining altitude. The gyrocopter then descended before making several oscillations in altitude above the taxiway. The gyrocopter impacted terrain next to the taxiway and rolled over several times before coming to a stop.
In an interview with the FAA inspector, the pilot reported that he hadn't flown the gyrocopter in a while and planned on practicing takeoff and landings. The pilot stated he felt a "windshear" just above the runway, the aircraft then veered to the right, past the runway threshold. He was unable to regain directional control and the aircraft headed toward the taxiway, touched down in the grass median, then
became airborne before crossing the taxiway. He added the aircraft then climbed toward the T-hangar area before he was able to regain directional control. He stated that he attempted to touch down again along the taxiway but was unsuccessful, and the aircraft became briefly airborne. He reported that he
directed the aircraft toward the ground and caused the aircraft to roll right. The pilot stated that he thought the gusty wind conditions were the primary factor causing him to lose directional control, and there were no pre-impact mechanical problems with the aircraft.
Several witnesses saw the accident. One witness, a flight instructor reported that he also experienced "windshear," while on approach to the runway. The instructor also stated that the rotorcraft pilot "appeared to be struggling to maintain control".
A review of the wind conditions about the time of the accident revealed that the automated weather station recorded; wind from 190° at 13 knots gusting to 17 knots.
A review of FAA records noted the accident pilot held a private certificate with rating for airplane, single-engine land. There was no record of him holding a rotorcraft-gyroplane rating. The pilot reported that he had about 231 hours of rotorcraft flight time.
The accident aircraft was a Rotary RAF 2000 gyroplane, built from a kit, and was certified in the Experimental – Amateur Built category. The aircraft's operating limitations were dated December 15, 1997. The pilot reported that the annual inspection had been completed Thanksgiving week, but not logged. The gyrocopter was not equipped with a horizontal stabilizer, and a review of the maintenance records for the gyrocopter revealed the aircraft had accumulated a total of 232.1 hours.
The United Kingdom's Civil Aircraft Authority conducted a test on the RAF 2000 gyrocopter and identified a potential issue when operating in turbulent or gusty wind conditions and issued MPD (Mandatory Permit Directive) 2003-001, with subsequent superseding MPD's.

To Kwa Wan () is an underground MTR rapid transit station in Hong Kong on the . It is located beneath Ma Tau Wai Road in central To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City District. The station was built as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link (SCL) project, and opened on 27 June 2021 along with the rest of phase 2 of the Tuen Ma line (–). The station was constructed by a Samsung–Hsin Chong joint venture.

Station layout

The platforms are arranged in a split platform style as the station was constructed under the narrow Ma Tau Wai Road with a high density of nearby buildings. This arrangement also allows trains to switch sides, depending on the terminus. Trains on platform 1 switch to the left side, while trains on platform 2 switch to the right side. This is necessary since the Ma On Shan Rail was built with trains run on the right-hand side to facilitate interchange at , whereas on the West Rail trains run on the left like other railway lines in the territory.

Q: Deserializing and byteswapping 48-bit integers I am receiving packets off the network so they are in big-endian byte order and I need to deserialize them then convert them to little-endian byte order for x86.
This is straightforward for standard C/C++ types such as foo below, but what should I do if the packet contains a 6-byte integer bar?
Should I just use a pragma pack(1) with 48-bit bit-field?
#include <byteswap.h>

#pragma pack (push, 1)
typedef struct MyFooBar {
    uint64_t foo;
    uint64_t bar : 48;

    void off_wire() {
        foo = bswap_64(foo);
        //bar = bswap_48(bar);
    }
} MyFooBar;
#pragma pack (pop)

What's a fast implementation of bswap_48? Is this correct?
typedef uint64_t uint48_t;

uint48_t bswap_48(uint48_t x) {
    return ((((x) & 0x0000000000ff) << 40) |    \
            (((x) & 0x00000000ff00) << 24) |    \
            (((x) & 0x000000ff0000) << 8)  |    \
            (((x) & 0x0000ff000000) >> 8)  |    \
            (((x) & 0x00ff00000000) >> 24) |    \
            (((x) & 0xff0000000000) >> 40));

Michael Bush is an experienced beekeeper from USA, very highly regarded in Natural Beekeeping circles. I cannot speak highly enough about his website and I encourage all readers to visit it.
Michael published his ideas and experiences in a great book: The Practical Beekeeper, Beekeeping Naturally.
I very much enjoyed reading the section of the book devoted to beekeeping fallacies. Michael's thinking aligns with my experiences and my understanding of what bees need and how they live. I asked Michael for a permission to quote from his book, he kindly agreed. I plan to go through the whole list of fallacies, one at a time, quoting verbatim Michael's writing and then adding comments whenever possible to add anything. Below is the first installment, more to follow.
Michael's Fallacy #1: Drones are bad.
"Drones, of course, are normal. A normal healthy hive will have a population in the spring of somewhere around 10-20% drones. The argument for almost a century or more (really just a selling point for foundation) was that drones eat honey, use energy and don't provide anything to the hive, so controlling the drone comb and therefore the number of drones will make a hive more productive. All the research I've heard of says that the opposite is true. If you try to limit the number of drones, your production will decrease. Bees have an instinctive need to make certain number of drones and fighting that is a waste of effort. Other research I've seen says that you will end up with the same number of drones no matter what you, the beekeeper, do anyway."
The above relates to another quote from the very first page of Michael's book"
"If the question in your mind starts with 'How do I make the bees ...' then you are already thinking wrongly. If your question is 'How can I help the bees with what they are trying to do...' you are on your way to becoming a beekeeper."
This is the jest of natural beekeeping philosophy. Remember - bees are wild creatures, not domesticated. They do what instinct tells them to do and this instinct has developed over millions of years. It is worse than ridiculous to think that me, you or anyone else may know better ways than what bees' instinct dictates and may succeed in forcing bees to follow his/her line of thinking. This simply will not happen.
Going back to drones, it is my experience that the larger the number of drones in a colony, the better they do and more honey they gather. When I see numerous drones, I am happy - the colony is thriving and so will my honey cupboard.
Removing drone brood is a cruel practice, but it is also an idiotic one. Bees invested honey into this brood and you want to throw it away. If you do, the bees will again invest honey and effort in raising new drone brood anyway. Along the way you only disrupt the hive and stress the bees. Stressed bees get sickly - just like me and you.
Reading available literature let me realize that we actually do not know what role drones play inside the hive. We know that bees raise them at the time of intensive brood rearing and get rid of drones around the time brood rearing significantly decreases. It may be just a coincidence, but coincidences are rare in a hive. Possibly drones assist in brood rearing - some beekeepers refer to drones as "brooders". I would not be surprised to learn that they play vital role in heating the nest area.
Next time you see a drone at a hive entrance, look at him with sympathy. He is your and your bees friend and helper.

2023 Scottish Isles & Glens - 12 Days/11 Nights
Scotish Isles and Glens is a fantastic tour.
Covers a lot of territory in a well planned itinerary,
Debra Marinelli
It was great, we enjoyed the tour. We were lucky to have the best tour guide and bus driver. Everyone was helpful at the hotels and on the tours themselves. Enough personal time to do what we wanted, enough time off the bus so it wasn't that long of a bus ride and the ferry rides were short but sweet. Good tour, good memories.
Mrs. Christine Carol Izzo
I unconditionally recommend CIE.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, professional and thoughtful. The driver was excellent. I always felt safe on tour. The tour itself was very well organized and when one of the sites was not possible due to the weather, they made sure we had other places to see to make up for the missed events.
Rebecca Kielhorn
GREAT 12 days in Scotland!!
Interesting historical sites, gorgeous scenery, all around a wonderful trip
Cynde L Lynn Akers
I enjoyed most of the tour, however being on a bus with the same people for 12 days got a little tiring. It would have been better if we could have chosen our seats and if they had gone over some bus etiquette.
The Novotel Hotel in Glasgow was not in a good location to have to find places to eat on our second night in country. The carpet was filthy.
The tall bath tubs were very hard to get into and out of and they were slippery and had no mat to stand on.

"The greatest public health benefit of advances in understanding the human genome will likely occur as genomic medicine expands from its focus from rare genetic disorders to inclusion of more common chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and cancer," the authors provide as background information in the article.
By JAMA and Archives Journals, [RxPG] A large gap exists between what knowledge is available about genomic medicine and incorporating it into clinical practice for assessing the risk of and treating common chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer, according to a systematic review in the March 19 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on Genetics and Genomics.
Maren T. Scheuner, M.D., M.P.H., of the RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, Calif., presented the findings of the study at a JAMA media briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Scheuner and colleagues analyzed the medical literature for research articles and systematic reviews published between Jan. 2000 and Feb. 2008 dealing with common chronic adult-onset conditions. The authors included 68 articles in the analysis and assessed four key areas: outcomes of genomic medicine, consumer information needs, delivery of genomic medicine, and challenges and barriers to integration of genomic medicine.
The authors note that consumers are unsure about the value of genetic testing and have concerns about privacy issues and discrimination in health insurance and employment. However, the consumers were interested in the technology to help better identify diseases for which they and their family members are at increased risk.

Q: Calculating the density of known groups of points I'm currently working on a project where the interplay between AD algorithms and visualizations is analysed. I've read a great amount of literature, and concluded that to fit my needs I would like to combine several metrics. I was able to realize most of them, yet, this one is missing:
Say I have a 2D space occupied by points belonging to one of 2 classes. I would like to calculate the density of each group. The labels of the groups are known. When looking around stackoverflow etc. I read about DBSCAN alot, but to my understanding DBSCAN is used to perform clustering itself. I already have the clusters, and would like to know their density.
I would appreciate any suggestions or guidance toward a known metric.
If existant, please also share the needed python labraries with me.
Thank you very much.
This is what my data can look like:
array([[-3.90611544e+00, -5.47953465e-01],
       [-5.22999684e+00,  5.56145331e-01],
       [-4.84611012e+00,  5.54304197e-02],
       [-4.85019718e+00, -3.19791419e-01],
       [-4.59453620e+00,  5.70821744e-01],
       [-6.65068624e+00, -9.97229190e-01],
       [-6.57787930e+00, -5.03538827e-01],
       [-4.80275333e+00, -8.42197968e-02],
       [-4.55720113e+00,  8.23122108e-01],
       [-4.47469205e+00, -6.77669238e-01],
       [-5.84095559e+00, -8.19564981e-01],
       [-4.93963103e+00, -8.66167854e-01],
       [-4.98336307e+00, -4.45923700e-02],
       [-4.56953722e+00, -4.27976712e-01],
       [-6.25553298e+00,  1.32863878e-01],
       [-6.11860914e+00, -1.09009817e+00],
       [-5.60347264e+00,  1.34600670e+00],
       [-4.85974421e+00, -2.03600566e-01],
       [-4.38049846e+00,  1.27302889e+00],
       .......

which plots like this:
cannot include pictures yet, see link
I would now like to get a density value for the red and green clusters each.
Thank you very much in advance!

A: UPDATE: Corrected my code. Also please note that this algorithm is of complexity O(n^2): For 10240 points it takes almost 1 minute to run on a fast machine.
UPDATE 2: Return the inverse: count/total_distance
UPDATE 3:
If, as you mentioned above, density visualization is a goal, I think that the sample plot you provided is, in itself, a good visual representation of density to the observer.
UPDATE 4: Based on the below comment, I eliminated double-counting and the algorithm is now of complexoty O(n^2/2) and, naturally, runs twice as fast.
A marginal improvement, especially in the case of several clusters, would be to paint the points in each clusted with a hue of a single color that varies based on the cluster's average density, say, light blue to dark blue.
As DerekG pointed out, you could use other density measures for the above scheme.
Another idea would be to compute each point's LOCAL density by counying the number of its neighbors and, if the number of neighbors exceeds a certain threshold, then to visually highlight the point by coloring it with a contrasting color, say black.
Please note that the code sample I provided in this answer can easily be modified to implement any of the above mentioned approaches including those by DerekG
I'm not an expert at cluster analysis but I'll try to help:
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
The answer depends on the definition of density. If you define density as the average distance of all pairs of points in the cluster, then this code is the answer:
from  math import sqrt
points = [
    [1, 3],
    [2, 4],
    [9, 1],
    [2, 6],
    [5, 3],
]
def density(points):
    total_distance = 0
    count = 0
    i = 0
    for x1,y1 in points:
        for x2,y2 in points[i+1:]:
            count += 1
            total_distance += sqrt((x1-x2)**2 + (y1-y2)**2)
        i += 1
    print(count)
    return count/total_distance

print(density(points))

Which prints:
0.2131384729384717


After finishing his Boy Meets World Tour last year, Drake & Migos announce joint 2018 North American tour! Book your tickets for the Aubrey & The Three Migos Tour 2018 in North America here online. Read on for more facts about Drakes success story.
Drake was born in 1986 in Toronto as Aubrey Drake Graham. His father is an African-American musician and his mother is a Jewish Canadian who worked as an educator and florist. Drake's parents divorced when he was five years old. He was raised in modest circumstances by his mother in Toronto and raised according to the Jewish faith. Because of his beliefs and his skin colour, he was often a victim of bullying and marginalization during his schooldays. Since he started acting early, Drake dropped out of high school.
He first gained attention as an actor in 2001 in the series "Degrassi: The Next Generation", in which he played Jimmy Brooks.
In 2006, Drake began publishing his first mixtapes and was starting to achieve acceptance as a rapper. Despite his initial success with his characteristic mix of hip-hop and R&B and the help of artists like Kanye West, Jay Z and Lil Wayne, he could not get a record deal.
In 2009, Drake's single "Best I Ever Had" became a hit in the US and eventually helped Drake to sign with Universal Records.
For his debut album "Thank Me Later", which was released in 2010, he collaborated with Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Jay Z, Alicia Keys and other well-known artists. The album reached number one in the US charts and received platinum in the US and Canada. Besides Eminem's album "Recovery", Drake's debut was the most anticipated album of 2010.
In 2013, Drake received a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album for his second album "Take Care". At the Grammy Awards, Drake also introduced his new single "Started From The Bottom" from his third album "Nothing Was The Same". This album also topped the charts in the US and Canada.
Drake's success continued after the release of the album "Views". The single "One Dance" became a mega hit all over the world. It reached first place in countries including Australia, Canada, Switzerland, New Zealand, Great Britain and Germany. Between his album releases Drake released numerous mixtapes, which were also very successful commercially and got top chart positions. In early 2018, Drake's EP "Scary Hours" featuring the releases "Diplomatic Immunity" and "God's Plan" was number one in the US charts and became its fourth number one single in the US. The number one position was replaced by Drake's "Nice 4 What" from the album "Scorpion".
In 2018, Drake broke a 54-year-old Beatles record: all the songs in his new album reached the Billboard 100 charts, seven were even in the top ten.

I grew up right here in the Pacific Northwest. I began my career in the industry in the late 70's on the Mortgage Banking side. I managed distressed properties with America's Largest Mortgage Banker over a 4 State region; Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. In 1996 I followed a long time desire and became a Broker. Seeing the necessity, I determined to help distressed property owners and became a (CDPE)Certified Distressed Property Expert, and a (CSSN)Certified Short Sale Negotiator. I find great satisfaction and fulfillment in my work and always endeavor to stay up to date with education and training so that I can provide the very best service to my clients.


Denso Corporation, via its NSITEXE subsidiary, is investing further in AI hardware start-up ThinCI to accelerate commercialization of semiconductors with deep learning capabilities. ThinCI, based in El Dorado Hills, California, is said to be in the final phase of developing an adaptable series of hardware platforms and software for deep learning and vision processing, suitable for a variety of applications in sectors including personal electronics; smart cities and smart homes; retail; and industry, as well as for autonomous vehicles. It has teams in the UK and India and the US.
ThinCI's programmable architecture is claimed to provide 5-10 times the computing power and performance currently offered by other solutions, to support AI and other algorithms. "ThinCI has the capabilities to help us usher in the next era of transportation. The company's technology provides the computing power to make autonomous driving and advanced electric vehicles the industry norm," said Tony Cannestra, DENSO's Director of Corporate Ventures, in a statement.
Denso's NSITEXE division in Tokyo was established in 2017 to design and develop semiconductor devices for autonomous driving. It is focusing on a data flow processor (DFP) for multiple complex calculations, i.e. from graphic processing units as well as from central processing units, and has already been collaborating with ThinCI.
While Denso has led the investment in ThinCI's Series C funding round, the company is now backed by a series of global investors. These include Daimler, the Mirai Creation Fund (mainly funded by Toyota), a consortium of venture capital funds and "a major Asia-based electronics company". This funding round raised $65million.

The stakes have never been higher for Cooper Wilder. When an accident puts Cooper's dad in the hospital, Cooper must shoulder new responsibilities at the campground. But he's distracted. First, he finds a fox caught in an illegal trap on the campground's land. Then kits start to go missing from the fox den. Who would want to steal the foxes? And why?
Cooper joins forces with his friends, Packrat and Roy, to solve the mystery. The three young detectives must protect the den, find the kits, and (hopefully) rule out Summer, the new girl who lives across the lake, as a suspect. Juggling new work duties, feeling guilty about his father's accident, and desperate to help the fox kits, Cooper faces tough decisions about who—and what—should come first.
Mystery of the Missing Fox, the third book in Tamra Wight's Cooper & Packrat eco-adventure series, launches this month. We sat down with the writer, photographer, educator and campground owner to discuss her busy life and the inspiration behind her award-winning series.
