There's nothing more unsettling than knowing your home is infested with rats. Not only does their scampering make for an annoying sound when you're trying to sleep, but they are known for carrying contagious diseases and spoiling any food they can find in your home.
If you think you may have rats in your attic, it's important to act fast before the problem gets worse. If left unattended, the rats in the attic will multiply by the day as they continue to breed and reproduce at will, making the risk of disease spreading in your home much worse.
To put it into perspective, a pair of rats can have between 5 to 7 litters per year, with each litter resulting in 8 to 12 pups, a term used for baby rats. In a year, a rat can have over 80 pups, turning a small infestation into a much larger problem for homeowners.
When trying to determine how to get rids of rats in the attic, it's important to understand why they are there in the first place.
The rats that are scurrying around your attic right now are likely roof rats. This type of rat is a natural climber and prefers to nest in trees and attics. Attics provide these rats with warmth, protection from predators, and water.
Like many animals, rats will go to extreme lengths to get to safety. Once rats find an entryway into your home, they'll chew through wires, ducts, and insulation until they find refuge in your attic.
Now safe in your attic, the rats will now grow, mate, and poop (a lot). The average rat will poop approximately 40-50 small round pellets per day, emitting a foul smell throughout your home over time.
The rats in the attic will also begin to destroy any personal property you have stored up there, along with any wiring and piping that may run through the attic. While small, rats teeth never stop growing, giving them the ability to chew and gnaw their way through wires, plastic, wood, lead, and other tough materials.
If you don't take action soon, there's a risk that the rats may do significant damage to your home's infrastructure, resulting in costly repairs and even more frustration.
Unsurprisingly, rats are pretty good at exposing small openings on the outside of your home. It's important to seal up any holes that mice, rats, or other unwanted guests may use to enter your home.
So, you're likely wondering how to seal holes from mice and rats, especially considering that they can squeeze themselves into holes the size of a quarter. As a general rule of thumb, if rats can stick their head through a hole, they can likely force the rest of their body in. To do so, you must check the likely sources; the windows, the garage, cracks in the wall, and the gaps under the door.
We here at The Bug Master suggest filling any small holes with steel wool for best results. For larger holes, the we recommend using cement, sheet metal, or something stronger to permanently patch these bigger holes, making sure they don't reopen in the future.
While sealing holes may not get rid of the rats already in the house, it will at least stop more rats from entering your home. If you have trouble finding the holes or cracks, it may be worth calling a professional with free rodent inspections to help spot them.
Roof rats use their climbing skills to make their nests above ground, out of sight from predators. If you have ivy trees located close to your home, it's important to make sure you're maintaining them and trimming them on a consistent basis, as ivy trees are a common home for roof rats.
Even if there's an ivy is several yards from your home, you should consider trimming since roof rats nest in ivy and are extremely agile. Roof rats are not only known for their climbing, but they can also jump up to four feet from branches to rooftops.
Their skills were also noted by the University of California, who reported that rats, especially roof rats, have an exceptional sense of balance. They found that they will use branches, nearby wiring or cables to make it to your roof and into your attic if they feel the need to. It's well known that rats will travel long distances, going above and beyond, just to get food and shelter.
Piles of wood and debris are often used as shelter by rats, critters, and other unwelcome wildlife that may be lurking around your home. The shelter of the wood mixed with the proximity to things like garbage cans makes for the ideal living conditions for a community of rats.
Another reason why rats seek shelter in wood piles is that they are full of spiders, slugs, and other smaller animals that are a part of a rat's diet.
To keep rats away from your home, it's important to make sure that there are no large piles of wood or debris close by, as rats view them as safe harborage areas. Also, homeowners should elevate any piles of firewood they may have since they may be hiding a secret burrow entrance that leads into your house.
The truth is, once the rats in the attic find out where you keep your food, it's game over. If you're under the impression that you have a rat problem in your home, it's important to invest in rodent-proof containers to keep your food safe.
Most of the boxes and containers that our food comes packaged in are no match for rats. The cardboard or flimsy plastic can easily be chewed through and compromised by rats. There's nothing worse than opening your pantry, only to find out that rats have chewed small holes through the groceries you had just bought.
Whether you store your food on the counter, in the pantry, or in various cabinets around your kitchen, it's important to make sure you're keeping it safe in rodent-proof containers that keep your food fresh, while keeping rats away.
Once your food is safe, it's also a good idea to seal your garbage can to stop rats from going through the trash inside your home.
Once your food is safe and secure, it's also smart to seal the garbage cans outside of your home. Not sure how to keep rats out of trash cans? Fortunately, it's not that difficult.
Most trash cans are already made out of strong material to keep the bad smell in, and pests out. But still, it's important to make sure the lid is sealed shut while it is sat outside your home.
Screw-on Garbage Lid: As smart as rats are, they fortunately don't have the ability to unscrew a garbage can lid. This is an easy way to keep rats out of trash cans around your house.
Heavy Objects: Looking for a more DIY approach to keep rats out of your trash? Try placing a heavy object on the lid when it's closed. This will stop them from being able to squeeze their way into your trash.
Bungee Cord: Want to get creative? Another idea would be to secure the lid with bungee cords to keep it secure and impenetrable from pests or rodents.
Going the extra mile to make sure your food and trash are safe will decrease the food options for the rats that live in your attic, likely driving them out over time as they search for more food options.
One of the only ways to truly eliminate your rat problem for good is to hire a pest control professional to take care of the problem.
An experienced professional will do much more than simply lay traps in your attic and leave, hoping the problem will solve itself over time. Instead, rodent control professionals will follow a rigorous, three-step process to ensure that your rat problem will disappear.
Inspection – First, the professional will inspect the damage of your home and determine the species of the rodent that in infesting your home. This will give them a better sense of what they're up against and create a plan of attack.
Trapping – Next up is the trapping process, which involves trapping the rodent, in this case, rats in the attic, in a centralized location where they can more easily be dealt with. This is done with strategically place baited traps to lure rats out of your walls. It's importing during this stage we want to leave escape paths open to give one more chance to leave your home unharmed.
Exclusion/Prevention – Once the rats are eliminated from your home, it's now the job of the attic pest removal service to prevent future infestations. Depending on the level of infestation, an exclusion is usually done towards the end of the trapping process to prevent more rats from entering the home.
If you have a rat infestation, we strongly recommend that you have us or another experienced team of professionals take care of it as soon as you notice the issue.
We have remedied numerous infestations that could have been prevented if the homeowners had reported the issue sooner. The longer you wait, the harder the issue is to fix.
Here at The Bug Master, we make sure that all of our service specialists are equipped with the tools and knowledge to handle infestations of all shapes and sizes. Located in Texas, we are constantly helping local home and business owners eliminate their rat problems.

DMS Offshore Investment Services ('DMS') was established in the Cayman Islands by Don Seymour in 2000. Over the past 14 years it has grown into one of the industry's leading fund governance firms with over 200 people. "It's been a 14-year overnight success," says Seymour (pictured) with tongue firmly in cheek.
Prior to establishing DMS, Seymour was the chief regulator of hedge funds at the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). It was there that Seymour noticed that many fund directors didn't view themselves as being in the risk management business.
"The mission of DMS was to realise the fact that directors are indeed in the risk management business and that they needed an effective framework to manage risk. That led me to establishing the professional firm model for fund governance that is DMS today," says Seymour.
One of the main features that sets DMS apart from its competitors is that back in 2004 the firm decided to adopt the four pillars of investor protection and fund governance standards used by the SEC.
"We integrated those standards into our governance practices and they form a core part of the DMS philosophy," says Seymour.
What is unique about DMS is the way it synthesises people with technology. Their approach is not merely to attend board of director meetings for the funds they sit on. Rather, it is a continuous process of checks and balances.
From a technology perspective, DMS is able to bring much needed transparency to investors via its DMS Independent Director Reports and DMS Fund Governance Transparency Reports, which investors can access on demand.
"Transparency is the new normal and reporting on this is essential today for investors. These reports have become invaluable tools to investors who use them to get insights into the fund governance process in a way that is observable and measurable," comments Seymour.
One of the big focuses for the firm is ongoing regulation, in particular AIFMD and FATCA, for which DMS has developed solutions.
"We have established an AIFM in Dublin, which will offer passporting capabilities and allow managers to continue to market their funds effectively throughout Europe. European investors appreciate it because they want to continue investing in the best managers but at the same time they want managers to comply with these new European regulatory standards.


We returned to Peru for a short time this year in a time of crowded schedules. However, we thought it necessary to visit Julio and Betty, our representatives in Peru and South America. We had a joyful reunion with those we had met before, and met many new fellow-soldiers on the front lines of ministry. I taught classes to the entire assembly in the mornings, and in the afternoons met with the men, while Nan taught the ladies. We were fortunate to have both my sister, Cindy Garcia, and Joan Wainer along for the translation work, so we could "tag-team" in the afternoon sessions. We are thankful for their excellent translation skills.
As usual, Julio did a wonderful job of organizing the conference. We had a great facility, which we used before, and three meals were provided for the conferees. Many of the people commented that they could not believe that they could attend a Bible conference—free of charge, and be well fed, and also receive free Basics books. Of course, many of these people travel from far away and can barely afford to cover the travel by bus. We had about 130 people in attendance from 15 different denominations, including some from the eastern jungle areas, and others from remote mountain regions.
My topic was the book of Galatians, "The Truth of the Gospel." We were able, in the twelve sessions, to hit the highlights of the epistle, and to nail down the Gospel of grace. I will be teaching an expanded version on Galatians at the end of August in Orange County, California. This is such an important issue in the world we live in today. The Gospel of grace is being perverted on every hand. One thing I sought to drive home to the pastors present was this: If Paul declares every perversion of the Gospel to be under divine curse (Gal 1:8-9), and argues for the "truth of the gospel" (Gal 2:5, Gal 2:14), then it stands to reason that nothing essential to the true Gospel would be missing in the epistle. Further, anything not found in this epistle cannot be an element of the Gospel message.
Everywhere we go in the world people are crying out for children's materials to help them teach the Word to young souls. In response to this need several years ago, Nan and the Sunday School teachers at Cross Road Bible Church in Perth, wrote a one- year children's Bible curriculum for use in village churches. It contains 50 lessons that take the students from the book of Genesis through the life of Paul. Each lesson has a beautiful color picture to go with it. We have recently had this curriculum translated into Spanish and Nan was able to print and laminate 10 copies to take down to teachers in Peru. We gave one copy to a public school teacher and he just looked with awe at the gift. He told us that in Peru they lack the creativity and insight to compile such lessons and he considered the curriculum to be a great labor of love that will benefit the children of Peru. If we see that the response and need is great, then we hope to print hundreds of copies in Peru and send them far and wide!
We ask you to pray for the work in Peru, as we continue to expand the outreach through the partnership we enjoy with Julio and Betty. By the way, check out the short video clip of Julio explaining how he got his first Basics book (from a batch we had distributed high in the Andes mountains in 1994), and how it helped him in his ministry.
Pray especially for the establishment of a Bible training center in Peru—this is Julio's great desire—to see a place for the training of pastors and workers for the evangelization and edification of Peru and the wider field of South America. We count it a privilege to work with him, and look to our Lord for guidance and supply in expanding the work. We thank you all for your valuable and effective prayers and offerings that made this conference such a success.

New Harris County Sheriff Sworn In
After Adrian Garcia announced he was running for mayor, Texas law requires Garcia to step down from the sheriff's office.
Pat Hernandez
| Posted on May 12, 2015, 11:27 AM (Last Updated: August 15, 2015, 12:01 PM )
<iframe src="https://embed.hpm.io/98648/60345" style="height: 115px; width: 100%;"></iframe>
Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hickman was named today interim sheriff of Harris County. County commissioners appointed the law enforcement veteran to fill the position left vacant when former Sheriff Adrian Garcia stepped down to run for Houston mayor.
The appointment of Hickman came after commissioners met in executive session.
County Judge Ed Emmett says he will bring innovation to the sheriff's department.
"He's one of these people that looks ahead," says Emmett. "He's savvy when it comes to technology and new approaches, and we're the third largest county in the United States. We need to be running an operation that's as up to date as possible, and Ron Hickman has that kind of skill."
Hickman's extensive law enforcement experience began as a Houston police officer, where he was a member of the search and recovery dive team and the bomb squad. He moved to the Precinct 4 Constable's Office in 1983, and served as constable since 2001.
He says he's looking forward to his newest challenge.
"We'll undertake a period of time to audit the department, find out what programs and policies need to be changed if any, and then look forward to building a strong team, working with Commissioner's Court, to better serve the citizens of Harris County," Hickman says.
The Harris County Commissioners Court will now convene a special meeting next week to fill the constable's seat left vacant by Hickman.

Q: Integral of two lists doesn't give expected results I am trying to get the area under the curve which is defined by two lists (representing x and y coordinates). I am using the integrate function from scipy.
import numpy as np
from scipy import integrate

x= np.array([0, 207.0, 52215.0])
y= np.array([0, 1367.0, 1461.0])

integrate.simps(y, x)
# Formated result
# 3 038 124 753.3677135

My problem is that when I do the math by hand, I get a different value, which is the same value I get when I do the integral of the previous list in two steps like the following example.
# Basically integral of [1367.0, 1461.0] over [207.0, 52215.0]
#     plus integral of [0, 1367.0] over [0, 207.0], which should give same result as above
integrate.simps(y[1:],x[1:]) + integrate.simps(y[:2],x[:2])
# 73 680 796.5

This is the result I am looking for. What am I missing

A: I think you are looking for numpy.trapz:
import numpy as np

x = np.array([0, 207.0, 52215.0])
y = np.array([0, 1367.0, 1461.0])

np.trapz(y,x)
73680796.5

The trapezoidal rule is the simplest of numerical integration methods to estimate a definite integral: it approximates the curve with straight lines.
On the other hand Simpson's rule, implemented in scipy.integrate.simps, uses quadratic approximation for the function segments, each of which segment requires three points, sampled from your function.
Another answer regarding the difference between the two is here

Red Hot Chili Peppers Announce 2023 Global Tour
Today, acclaimed rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers announced their 2023 Tour, in support of their two #1 studio albums that were released in 2022, Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen. Following a recent Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song for "Black Summer," the band will embark on a 23-date global trek that kicks off on Wednesday, March 29th at BC Place in Vancouver, BC with stadium shows and festival stops across North America and Europe in Las Vegas, San Diego, Houston, Lisbon, Madrid, Vienna and more before wrapping up on Saturday, July 23rd in Glasgow, UK at Hampden Park. The Strokes, Iggy Pop, The Roots, The Mars Volta, St. Vincent, City and Colour, Thundercat, and King Princess will join the band on select dates.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers 2023 Tour comes close on the heels of the band's largest 40-date stadium tour to date, which included massive sold-out shows in London, Paris, Los Angeles, and more. Notable artists such as A$AP Rocky, Anderson .Paak, Beck, HAIM and more joined the band on the road through 2022. After completing the wildly successful tour across North America and Europe this year, Red Hot Chili Peppers continue into January 2023 with 8 dates across New Zealand and Australia, featuring Post Malone.
TICKETS: Tickets go on sale starting Friday, December 9th at 10am local time at redhotchilipeppers.com.
Please note, the Red Hot Chili Peppers show originally scheduled for Summer 2022 in Glasgow, UK will now take place on Sunday, July 23, 2023 at Hampden Park Stadium. Existing tickets remain valid, but will be re-issued for the new date. Limited tickets remain and will be available during the general on sale.
As a result of the two album releases this year going #1, Red Hot Chili Peppers notably stand out as the first rock band in 17 years to achieve the feat. Moreover, Return of the Dream Canteen bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart —just like its predecessor Unlimited Love did back in April. Both albums were produced by longtime collaborator and creative confidant, Rick Rubin. Plus, it reached #1 in numerous countries around the globe.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers recently took home the prestigious Global Icon Award, and delivered a show stopping performance at the MTV VMAs. Their No. 1 single "Black Summer" also won the award for Best Rock Video. This year, the band also garnered an MTV Europe Music Award nomination for Best Rock and scored three American Music Awards nominations for "Favorite Rock Artist," "Favorite Rock Album" for Unlimited Love and "Favorite Rock Single" for "Black Summer."

Mr. Hazzard's musical life began at age 5 when he started to play the piano by ear. Then followed the study of violin at age 7 and his first compositions, for violin and piano, at age 8. He played guitar and piano in dance bands and pop groups throughout high school and college.
Educated at Boston University and then Berklee College of Music (B.M. in Composition), he is a nationally known composer, arranger and conductor, who has also maintained a successful parallel career as a music educator. During his dozen years on the faculty at Berklee, Peter chaired the Traditional Studies Dept., conducted the Berklee Concert Wind Ensemble and taught theory, music history, advanced composition, orchestration and conducting. In 1983, he was appointed Director of Music at Lawrence Academy in Groton, MA. During his 30-year tenure at LA he developed a successful music curriculum spanning classical, jazz and popular music. In addition to performance classes in band, choral and a cappella singing, Peter added classes in music theory, history of the popular song, musical theatre, acoustics, audio recording and a student internet streaming radio station.
Mr. Hazzard is a published composer of over eighty chamber and orchestral works. He also arranges pop songs for several high school a cappella groups and creates band and orchestra arrangements on commission. He was the music director and conductor of the Melrose (MA) Symphony Orchestra for fifteen years and is currently an associate conductor of the Boston Brass Ensemble. Peter frequently appears as a guest conductor for middle and high school choral and instrumental festivals. In 2009 he was the guest conductor for the Southwest New Hampshire Middle School Choral Festival. The concert featured the premiere of his composition We Celebrate New Hampshire Op. 76, in which he set several sections of former Governor John Lynch's second inaugural address to music.
Mr. Hazzard and his wife, Licia, who is also a teacher (FACS & Health) live in Nashua. They also have a summer cottage in Contoocook. With his varied background and teaching experience, Peter is excited to be working with the GSAA students in all areas of music.

Today there are a lot of high-quality tactical vests to consider and which model to choose depends absolutely on your needs. I can't live without hunting, so I chose Lancer Tactical Cross Draw Magazine and Pistol Holster. It is lightweight, sturdy and has a lot of pockets. Pistol holster is removable, which is very convenient for hunters. At the same time, it is not safe enough. If you are looking for better protection, you can consider some other model. It is recommended to buy tactical vest. You will find a lot of useful information. Before I chose my Lancer I made personal research and read a lot of reviews to make sure this is a thing I need.

What constitutes a musical—or any other kind of—joke? Humor explodes our expectations and takes us by surprise. Three Haydn string quartets, including his "Joke" Quartet, provide an evening of ambiguous beginnings and fake-out endings; mismatched dialogues between instruments, misunderstandings, musical pratfalls and pretend memory lapses and digressions. What about those embarrassing long pauses, that daring modulation, that unexpected excursion into strange tonalities….? It's all intentional and part of the fun! From the composer of the "Surprise" Symphony who wrote a cat's meow into another comes a slightly tipsy "high" as well as "low" program of subversive humor. The audiences of Haydn's day loved the kinds of things he put into his music, and so will you. Yehuda Hanani and colleagues will lead us through this night of musical comedy with their expert playing as well as comments. Call it a master class in musical humor. .

In 1580 in Ferrara, Italy, an ensemble of professional female singers–probably the first one of their gender–became renowned for their technical and artistic virtuosity. This ensemble, the 'Concerto delle Donne', performed formal concerts for members of the inner circle of the Ferrara court and important visitors, and revolutionized the role of women in professional music.
Sopranos Catherine Hancock, Rebecca Palmer and Jennifer Tyo, accompanied and directed by Christine Gevert on the organ and harpsichord, will perform works by the Ferrara court composer, Luzzascho Luzzaschi, as well as early Italian Baroque arias and duets by Monteverdi, Barbara Strozzi and others.

The Station Park development in Farmington is back on track and growing after it came to a standstill in 2007 due to the economic recession. According to Deseret News, almost all the retail space is already leased or about to be.
Situated on 67 acres of land, the project will total 900,000 square feet of space designed to host around 200 tenants. Developer Centercal Properties is planning a mixture of retail, entertainment, restaurant, office and hotel space that will boost the Farmington economy. According to its Web site, Station Park will benefit from the highest daily traffic counts in the state of Utah. Located at the intersection of Interstate 14, Highway 89, Legacy Parkway and the new Utah Transit Authority Commuter Rail, the site will be in the heart of incoming traffic from both Webber and Salt Lake counties.
Other development projects in the region haven't managed to pick up following the blow of the recession, the site notes. The center of Salt Lake's Sugar House shopping district is still empty, and construction of new shops, office buildings and condos have been at a standstill for four years now, due to lack of financing. The approval of a new downsized plan could however restart the project this fall.
Meanwhile, development remains stalled at the site of the former Cottonwood Mall. The $500 million project was delayed when the initial developer filed for bankruptcy protection. Holladay and Salt Lake County councils have voted to offer a 20-year tax subsidy to the new developer, permitting the delay of the development through to 2017.

First, utilize lemon and vinegar to remove stubborn and stains spots. Instead of applying chemical cleanser, you are able to just use lemon juice or vinegar to get rid of stubborn stains. Put on the lemon or vinegar to the obstinate spots and then rub it together with dish material. You can also wash the entire surface with water and vinegar. The vinegar is significantly more resilient than lemon or maybe lime, which means you may combine it with some drinking water before employing it to the stubborn area to prevent the vinegar from harming the timber.

Sergeant Jay Murphy says officers continue to check out information or any leads called into the police department. He says police do not know where he might be.
A Beatrice Police Investigator earlier said Parker was with his brother around June 1st. The pair went separate ways, and Edward Parker hasn't been seen since that time.
To those of you who are interested in the search for Ed Parker, we have searched the river by boat, on foot and with a drone. We have pinged his phone and it indicates it it off. We have checked with any and all friends he may have had. He is entered into the National Computer Base so if he is contacted by Law Enforcement we will be alerted. We will be searching tomorrow morning with specially trained dogs as well. If you have any additional new information we ask that you call 402-223-4080.

Friends describe Parker as the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to anyone. He loves the Huskers and Oakland Raiders football team. After his mother died, he became a caretaker for his brother.
"It's not like him to just not talk to Andy or tell him where he's going," said family friend Faith Knowles. "I just have a bad feeling. Something isn't right. He wouldn't just not talk to us. He wouldn't see all this missing person stuff and not let us know he's okay. I have a bad feeling."

Q: How to determine the name of a task in celery? I have a fastAPI app where I want to call a celery task
I can not import the task as they are in two different code base. So I have to call it using its name.
in tasks.py
imagery = Celery(
    "imagery", broker=os.getenv("BROKER_URL"), backend=os.getenv("REDIS_URL")
)

...

@imagery.task(bind=True, name="filter")
def filter_task(self, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, Any]:
  print('running task')

The celery worker is running with this command:
celery worker -A worker.imagery -P threads --loglevel=INFO --queues=imagery
Now in my FastAPI code base I want to run the filter task.
So my understanding is I have to use the celery.send_task() function
In app.py I have
from celery import Celery, states
from celery.execute import send_task
from fastapi import FastAPI
from starlette.responses import JSONResponse, PlainTextResponse

from app import models

app = FastAPI()
tasks = Celery(broker=os.getenv("BROKER_URL"), backend=os.getenv("REDIS_URL"))

@app.post("/filter", status_code=201)
async def upload_images(data: models.FilterProductsModel):
    """
    TODO: use a celery task(s) to query the database and upload the results to S3
    """
    data = ['ok', 'un test']
    data = ['ok', 'un test']
    result = tasks.send_task('workers.imagery.filter', args=list(data))
    return PlainTextResponse(f"here is the id: {str(result.ready())}")

After calling the /filter endpoint, I don't see any task being picked up by the worker.
So I tried different name in send_task()

*

*filter

*imagery.filter

*worker.imagery.filter

How come my task never get picked up by the worker and nothing shows in the log?
Is my task name wrong?
Edit:
The worker process run in docker. Here is the fullpath of the file on its disk.

*

*tasks.py : /workers/worker.py
So if I follow the import schema. the name of the task would be workers.worker.filter but this does not work, nothing get printed in the logs of docker. Is a print supposed to appear in the STDOUT of the celery cli?

A: Your Celery worker is subscribed to the imagery queue only . On the other hand, you try to send the task to the default queue (if you did not change configuration, the name of that queue is celery) with  result = tasks.send_task('workers.imagery.filter', args=list(data)). It is not surprising you do not see task being executed by your worker as you have been sending tasks to the default queue whole time.
To fix this, try the following:
result = tasks.send_task('workers.imagery.filter', args=list(data), queue='imagery')

A: OP Here.
This is the solution I used.
task = signature("filter", kwargs=data.dict() ,queue="imagery")
res = task.delay()

As mentioned by @DejanLekic I had to specify the queue.

The first time we went to see the Flamingoes of Mumbai at Sewri with the BNHS, we were enraptured by these beautiful birds, and were surprised by the number of birds, not just flamingoes, which arrived in this crowded metropolis! Since then, we twice lost the opportunity of joining the BNHS on their bird watching trips, due to prior engagements. I had lost all hopes of seeing these birds again this year, but thankfully, Adesh Shivkar of the Mumbai Bird Club announced a birding trail to Sewri this Saturday, and I jumped at the chance to take Samhith along on another bird-watching jaunt.
This time, I also roped along my friend, Usha, who will shortly be shifting to Delhi. She had to go somewhere else, but agreed to join me and Samhith for at least a couple of hours. So, the three of us set off at the break of dawn to see what and how many birds we were able to identify!
The very first sight that met us at Sewri was a sea of pink, the flamingoes much closer than they were, the last time. There also seemed to be many more, and it was a real riot of pink as far as we could see!
There were many smaller birds too, and to our untrained eyes, they all looked like sandpipers or plovers. Only when Adesh showed us the birds through the telescope and showed us their individual characteristics that set each of them apart, did we realize that what we had imagined to be just one or two varieties were, in fact, more than 10 types of waders! By the time we were through, I was sure that I had grasped just the tip of the iceberg, and there was much, much more to learn! So, now I had better make time to attend a few more such birding trails!
Here are my images of the wonderful morning spent at Sewri. My camera isn't a great one, and neither am I an accomplished photographer, so there images are quite hazy and not all that clear…….. To top it all, the sun was playing spoilsport, and adding to it was the smog which has become a permanent feature of the Mumbai skyline. So, please excuse the quality of the images……..This trip has just heightened my desire to own a DSLR, and I am sure that I shall not be able to contain the temptation for much longer. Till then, you have to be content with my simple Canon Powershot, and what I manage with it!
I took so many pics of the flamingoes, since we were absolutely fascinated by them, and especially because they were so much closer than last time, and we were able to see them clearly without even binoculars!
A pair of egrets enjoying themselves.... It was a wonderful sight!
There are at least four birds in this pic, and I think they are all different!!!
These tiny birds are perfectly camouflaged!
A group of lesser flamingoes..
Now, this one is a Little Ringed Plover. I took this pic immediately after Adesh showed it to us through the telescope, and I clicked this one... Thanks to him, this is one of those little waders identified!
And this one is a Western Reef Egret! It was the darkest bird around. Unfortunately, thanks to the ship anchored there, I wasn't even able to get a decent pic of this large bird!
That's a sandpiper..or a Black-Tailed Godwit.. which one? I have forgotten!
More Flamingoes...I told you, I went nuts clicking them all the time.. and this is just a fraction of the ones I clicked!
A mechanical bird which hovered over us for a while..... Wonder who was the VIP?
We saw so many birds as I said earlier, and I shall not even try to name all of them. Here is the list of birds that we did see. This is a list which Usha jotted down while Adesh was helping us identify them, and I picked it from her to add it to my blog. I have added the name of the bird to the pics when I have been sure of them. As to the others, as of now, they are simply waders – many types of them!!!!!
1. Lesser Flamingoes... thousands of them!
2. Black capped Kingfisher - I couldnt even see where it was.... only saw it through the telescope!
The last thing we saw wasn't a bird, but a crab - The Fiddler crab!
Can you some white things scattered here and there? three to be precise? Well, those are the pincers of the Fiddler Crab. The crab itself is under the surface, and it has one set of long pincers while the other is short. These are the longer ones sticking out, probably in search of food! Wish I could have got a better picture. But as of now, this is what I have to make do with.
Finally, a decent pic..... where I can identify the bird clearly as an egret! I clicked this one as we were leaving.
You can read Usha's post on the same trip here.
Good thing you din't miss. It's very beautiful and I am speechless.
Saw pics of these beauties recently on another friend's blog!!nice!! am glad u went!!
Lovely. I have been wanting to go to Sewri for a while, but have been lazy. Will make a trip now after reading your post.
i presume you must be the lady with the little boy at sewri. if so, you have a lovely son -- and no, i don't think you can call him naughty, he is really sweet!! i was the lady with the white hair and camera, and i have 10-year old, his name is ashok, i have been taking him on birdwalks and nature walks since he was about 4. they learn slowly -- it is important to keep kids comfortable with nature. keep at it, it's very heartening to hear him talk about magpie robins and other birds!!! thanks for sharing, great to read your experience and wonderful to read so many blog entries. hope to meet you again!
@Sak - Thanks a lot!
@Lakshmi: Great to hear that I have encouraged you... tell me when u come and lets go together!
hey, and which friends blog? can u send me the link?
@ssstoryteller: thanks a lot...am actually not so patient.. it is an attempt to teach patience to my son!!
It was like playing spot the bird contest in some photos. Difficult to distinguish bet' the puny size of the bird and the background.
@CE Webster: Thanks a lot!
@Chitra: They were difficult to spot too... they are so well camouflaged! only the fact that they were moving was what helped us see them!
I too like Lakshmi wish to see this site! Beautiful.
@Mridula: Great! all of you should come together!!!
@Indrani: Absolutely! never realised it till recently... and wish I had taken this up earlier!

Download "CARRIER PHASE VS. CODE PHASE"
2 satellites in order to maintain a constant lock with at least 4 satellites, while C/A code receivers (mapping grade) do not need to maintain a constant lock with the satellites to calculate positions. This makes a C/A code receiver imperative to gathering data in adverse conditions (for example, under trees). Once you have achieved carrier time (set in your GPS configuration) and you have stored the information, your data can be differentially corrected with carrier phase processing. To ensure that the carrier lock is never lost, once carrier time has been achieved and you save the rover file, a new rover file must be created for each subsequent carrier session. Although it is more difficult to gather carrier code data than solely pseudo-random code, accuracy is increased from 3-5 meter accuracy to sub-meter accuracy. IN SHORT: Code phase processing- GPS measurements based on the pseudo random code (C/A or P) as opposed to the carrier of that code. (1-5 meter accuracy) Carrier phase processing- GPS measurements based on the L1 or L2 carrier signal. (sub-meter accuracy) Carrier- A signal that can be varied from a known reference by modulation. A thorough discussion of Code-Phase GPS vs. Carrier-Phase GPS can be found at: A quick tutorial in the basic principles behind GPS technology can be found at: A brief glossary of GPS terminology can be found at: Also see this web site: This document can be found at Code-Phase GPS vs. Carrier-Phase GPS The words "Code-Phase" and "Carrier-Phase" may sound like electronic mumbo-jumbo but, in fact, they just refer to the particular signal that we use for timing measurements. Using the GPS carrier frequency can significantly improve the accuracy of GPS. The concept is simple but to understand it let's review a few basic principles of GPS.
3 Remember that a GPS receiver determines the travel time of a signal from a satellite by comparing the "pseudo random code" it's generating, with an identical code in the signal from the satellite. The receiver slides its code later and later in time until it syncs up with the satellite's code. The amount it has to slide the code is equal to the signal's travel time. The problem is that the bits (or cycles) of the pseudo random code are so wide that even if you do get synced up there's still plenty of slop. Consider these two signals: (image not included) If you compared them logically you'd say they matched. When signal A is a one, signal B is a one. When signal A is a zero, signal B is a zero. But you can see that while they match they're a little out of phase. Notice that signal A is a little ahead of signal B. In fact you could slide signal A almost a half a cycle ahead and the signals would still match logically. That's the problem with code-phase GPS. It's comparing pseudo random codes that have a cycle width of almost a microsecond. And at the speed of light a microsecond is almost 300 meters of error! Code-phase GPS isn't really that bad because receiver designers have come up with ways to make sure that the signals are almost perfectly in phase. Good machines get with in a percent or two. But that's still at least 3-6 meters of error. Take it to a higher (frequency) authority: (image not included) Survey receivers beat the system by starting with the pseudo random code and then move on to measurements based on the carrier frequency for that code. This carrier frequency is much higher so its pulses are much closer together and therefore more accurate. If you're rusty on the subject of carrier frequencies consider your car radio. When you tune to 94.7 on the dial you're locking on to a carrier frequency that's 94.7 MHz. Obviously we can't hear sounds at 94 million cycles a second. The music we hear is a modulation (or change) in this carrier frequency. So when you hear someone sing an "A" note on the radio you're actually hearing the 94.7 MHz carrier frequency being varied at a 440 cycle rate. GPS works in the same way. The pseudo random code has a bit rate of about 1 MHz but its carrier frequency has a cycle rate of over a GHz (which is 1000 times faster!) At the speed of light the 1.57 GHz GPS signal has a wavelength of roughly twenty centimeters, so the carrier signal can act as a much more accurate reference than the pseudo random code by itself. And if we can get to within one percent of perfect phase like we do with code-phase receivers we'd have 3 or 4 millimeter accuracy! Yeeow! Catching the Right Wave (image not included) In essence this method is counting the exact number of carrier cycles between the satellite and the receiver.
5 The signal is so complicated that it almost looks like random electrical noise. Hence the name "Pseudo-Random". There are several good reasons for that complexity: First, the complex pattern helps make sure that the receiver doesn't accidentally sync up to some other signal. The patterns are so complex that it's highly unlikely that a stray signal will have exactly the same shape. Since each satellite has its own unique Pseudo-Random Code this complexity also guarantees that the receiver won't accidentally pick up another satellite's signal. So all the satellites can use the same frequency without jamming each other. And it makes it more difficult for a hostile force to jam the system. In fact the Pseudo Random Code gives the DoD a way to control access to the system. But there's another reason for the complexity of the Pseudo Random Code, a reason that's crucial to making GPS economical. The codes make it possible to use "information theory" to "amplify" the GPS signal. And that's why GPS receivers don't need big satellite dishes to receive the GPS signals. The following can be found at: Why do we need Differential GPS? Basic GPS is the most accurate radio-based navigation system ever developed. And for many applications it's plenty accurate. But it's human nature to want MORE! So some crafty engineers came up with "Differential GPS," a way to correct the various inaccuracies in the GPS system, pushing its accuracy even further. Differential GPS or "DGPS" can yield measurements good to a couple of meters in moving applications and even better in stationary situations. That improved accuracy has a profound effect on the importance of GPS as a resource. With it, GPS becomes more than just a system for navigating boats and planes around the world. It becomes a universal measurement system capable of positioning things on a very precise scale. The solution: reference receiver measures errors. That's the key to differential. We have one receiver measure the timing errors and then provide correction information to the other receivers that are roving around. That way virtually all errors can be eliminated from the system, even the pesky Selective Availability error that the DoD puts in on purpose.

Millions of players around the world count the days because on October 26 Red Dead Redemption 2 will debut on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, being the first title of the company in 5 years.
Shortly after this happens, the information about the title has begun to flow in an important way and today it revealed the space it will occupy on the hard disk and some details about the PS4 version.
As you may remember, a few days ago Sony announced that it would celebrate the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 with a PS4 Pro bundle of 1TB. Well, after the package began to be sold on different platforms online and thanks to being promoted with images from the official box, it was possible to know some details thanks to the site Rockstar Intel.
Initially, the PS4 Pro bundle informs that Red Dead Redemption 2 will occupy 105GB of hard disk space on the console, so you must prepare for an important installation. At the same time, the information indicates that the online component of the western title will have support for up to 32 players.
On the other hand, one of the announcements highlighted in the packaging of PS4 Pro and Red Dead Redemption 2 mentions that users of the console will have access to online content exclusively for 30 days.
It should be noted that Rockstar has not made these data official, but, as is often the case today, the market can go a step further. What do you think about the details of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4? Tell us in the comments below.

Deadly School Bus Crash in Chicago May Have Involved Red Light Violation
by Bisnar Chase on April 10, 2013
A man was killed after a Chicago school bus collision where the bus driver apparently ran a red light and crashed into two SUVs. The fatal crash occurred at Route 173 and Kilbourne Road in Newport Township near Wadsworth as the bus was taking children to Newport Elementary School. Lake County Sheriff's officials said the bus driver may have run a red light and struck a Jeep Wrangler headed south on Kilbourne. A Jeep Cherokee at the intersection was also struck. The bus tipped over to its side and the windows were shattered.
The driver of the Wrangler was killed and several children suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Officials said 23 children were in good or fair condition. Another 12 students were sent to hospitals by ambulance. Officials say that the school bus's high seatbacks protected the children, which is why they did not suffer more serious injuries. Witnesses also told police that the female driver of the school bus ran a red light.
It is indeed fortunate that none of the children were catastrophically injured or killed in this school bus crash. I wish everyone who was injured a speedy recovery and offer my condolences to the family members of the deceased victim.
School Bus Crash Statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 23 million children travel by school bus every day. About 800 school-aged children are killed in motor vehicle accidents during normal school travel hours each year in the United States and 20 of those deaths are school-bus-related. An average of five are school bus passengers and 15 pedestrians, often students struck inadvertently by the school bus, NHTSA reports.
Liability Issues
In this particular school bus accident, it appears that the school bus driver ran a red light and struck the two SUVs. If this information is accurate, then, the injured victims and the family of the deceased victim can file a lawsuit against the driver and potentially other parties including her employer, the school district and school board seeking compensation.
Injured victims can seek compensation for damages including medical expenses, lost wages, hospitalization, physical therapy, permanent injuries, disabilities, pain and suffering and emotional distress. Family members of deceased victims can seek damages by filing a wrongful death claim. An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to advise injured victims and their families in such cases regarding their legal rights and options.

Molded on bottom "Made in France, R. Lalique"; both bottle and stopper etched "048."
Clear and frosted glass with teal blue patina on the draped wisteria flowers. Forvil used this design in different sizes for various perfumes. Mostly seen in clear and frosted, but other colored patinas were also used. Smaller sizes often came in brass tubes. Name translates "The Flowers."


While Brexit may have muddied the waters separating Japan and Britain, the design collaborations between the two island nations are still strong.
Duncan Shotton, who hails from Wiltshire but has been based in Tokyo since 2012, creates everyday objects with amusing quirks. His designs often involve an element of visual play and are refreshingly colorful at a time of over-muted palette trends. You may have already seen his rainbow-shaving pencils at museum shops, and his Shoeperhero shoe horn has been featured in a previous On: Design. This time Shotton has turned his attention to pure white — but, of course, with a couple of twists.
Soy Shape dipping dishes are made of hakuji white porcelain, but when filled with soy sauce, they reveal bold patterns of cubes or triangles. The varied depths of each dish create different tones in the dark soy sauce above it, giving the designs a 3-D effect. But Shotton takes this one step further: The patterns are also Oscar Reutersvard optical illusions, making these dishes a bit more unexpected.
Soy Shapes are made in Gifu and come in sets of two of the same design, priced at ¥3,500 for standard boxes and ¥4,000 for limited-edition hand-signed "slide" boxes. Any combination of the triangle or cube dishes can also be stacked together.
After the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, designers and volunteers rallied together to establish Ishinomaki Laboratory, a DIY workshop for locals to help repair and rebuild one of the hardest-hit areas of Japan. Since then, the venture has attracted other Japanese and overseas designers to contribute to its own brand of hand-crafted furniture.
One of the collaborators, London-based Michael Marriott, is now holding his first solo exhibition in Japan showcasing a full range of interior products that complement the Miyagi Clothes Hanger (pictured), his first piece for Ishinomaki Laboratory.
Well known for meticulously crafted functional objects, Marriott's line is inspired by an unusual combination of engineering and art: Toyota Motor Corp.'s production processes and conceptual artist On Kawara's factual methodology to creativity. All of the furniture pieces are made from just one 140 x 18 mm plank of plain cedar and a box of screws, and include tables, chairs, benches, shelves, stools (pictured right) — even beds.
Items (which are limited in number) can be ordered via email from info@designkoishikawa.com and range from ¥8,700 for a set of three hooks to ¥103,000 for book shelves (the stools are ¥19,500 each). The Miyagi Clothes Hanger is ¥25,920 and can be ordered from bit.ly/ishinomakilab. "On Toyota" is on show at Design Koshikawa in Tokyo until Jan. 15. and is free to visit.
Another of the Ishinomaki Laboratory designers is Tomas Alonso. OK, Alonso is actually Spanish, but he studied at the Royal College of Art and is now based in London.
Alonso created a wooden and canvas stool for Ishinomaki, and is also one of the creatives who teamed up with potters for the 2016/Arita project, which launched its full series of collaborations last October. Like Marriott, he focuses on functionality, though his Arita series of geometric vessels are deliberately without specific purpose. Instead, the containers, mostly cylindric and semi-cylindric, are designed to be arranged in decorative combinations and for whatever use you like.
To produce such deceptively simple shapes, the pottery has also used a specially developed strong porcelain that can be fired extra thin to keep the aesthetic sharp.
Of different heights and glazed in bold but coordinating colors, Alonso's containers range from ¥1,188 for a small white semi-circle plate to ¥6,588 for a large black plate and are available from the Seibu Sogo web store.

There are still classified documents found in a warehouse linked to Trump
Dahlia Osbornee December 8, 2022 2 min read
Although members of former President Trump's entourage stated earlier in the day that no classified documents were found during a search late last month, two classified government documents were found in a locked box in a West Palm Beach warehouse. This was reported by The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Since his turbulent departure from the White House, Donald Trump has been suspected of taking classified government documents. After a subpoena in May and even an FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago resort from the inside out in August, the US Department of Justice remains convinced Trump has placed thousands of government documents, some 300 of them "classified," in his letter. has. In the end, a judge ruled that Trump's lawyers must be able to prove that he did indeed pass on all of the classified documents.

Trump's attorneys' team then commissioned an outside firm to investigate four locations linked to Trump: his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump Tower in New York, and a warehouse in Mar-a-Lago and West Palm Beach, Florida.
Earlier in the day, people accompanying Trump reported that nothing had been found. But the Washington Post and The New York Times are now writing that a locked box containing two classified documents was found in that last warehouse. The US government leased this site to Trump, who kept boxes, gifts, and clothes there, among other things. They came from an office in Northern Virginia that Trump's staff had used in the months after he left Washington. However, according to a source, Trump was never in the warehouse himself, and may not have even known what was there.

Trump's lawyers notified the Justice Department of the discovery and turned the documents over to the FBI. Exactly what documents were found is still a big question mark.
