This year marks Anaconda’s 10th anniversary, and we’ve been taking time to reflect on all we’ve accomplished as a company and as part of the Python open-source development community—and to think about where we are going from here. There is still so much to do, and in this blog post I’ll try to provide a snapshot of where we see some new challenges for Python and where Anaconda’s open-source development work is heading.
Anaconda’s 2022 State of Data Science report is here! As with years prior, we conducted a survey to gather demographic information about our community, ascertain how that community works, and collect insights into big questions and trends that are top of mind within the community. As the impacts of COVID continue to linger and assimilate into our new normal, we decided to move away from covering COVID themes in our report and instead focus on more actionable issues within the data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence industries, like open-source security, the talent dilemma, ethics and bias, and more.
As every practitioner in the Data Science space knows, Data is the primary fuel for Machine Learning. A trustworthy data sourcing and high-quality data collection and processing can empower a vast range of potential ML use cases. But having a well-governed Data Warehouse requires a thorough devotion from every team in the organization to look […]
Have you ever found yourself sitting in front of the screen wondering what kind of features will help your machine learning model learn its task best? I bet you have. Data preparation tends to consume vast amounts of data scientists’ and machine learning engineers’ time and energy, and making the data ready to be fed […]
Often on having a look at any dataset, we see a bunch of rows and columns filled with numbers or even with some alphabets, words, or abbreviations. Understanding this data and attempting to gain as many insights as possible is a smart strategy to begin the process of model development. In this article, we will […]
A model registry is a central repository that is used to version control Machine Learning (ML) models. It simply tracks the models while they move between training, production, monitoring, and deployment. It stores all the predominant information such as: metadata, lineage, model versions, annotations, and training jobs. As the model registry is shared by multiple […]
Long gone is the time where ML jobs start and end with a jupyter notebook.   Since all companies want to deploy their models into production, having an efficient and rigorous MLOps pipeline to do so is a real challenge that ML engineers have to face nowadays.  But creating such a pipeline is not an easy […]

Notes on the Frank-Wolfe Algorithm, Part III: backtracking line-search
Backtracking step-size strategies (also known as adaptive step-size or approximate line-search) that set the step-size based on a sufficient decrease condition are the standard way to set the step-size on gradient descent and quasi-Newton methods. However, these techniques are much less common for Frank-Wolfe-like algorithms. In this blog post I …

Machine Learning Operations or MLOps is a topic that is increasingly gaining traction over the last few years. As companies keep investing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning after seeing the potential benefits of using ML applications in their products, the number of machine learning solutions is growing. Moreover, many projects that have been started, […]

For the last decade, Anaconda has helped define the guard rails and infrastructure of Python programming to empower a new generation of data science professionals and enthusiasts. Over the years, we’ve watched as the open-source Python community has burgeoned into a thriving network of creators, contributors, and dedicated maintainers. Because of the human ecology that has formed around Python, it is now the fastest-growing programming language in the world.
Air pollution has become a serious problem in recent years across the world. Effects of Air Pollution is devastating and its harmful effects are not just limited to Humans but also animals and plants as well. It also leads to global warming which is esentially increasing air and ocean temperatures around the world.
Indian cities have been topping the list of polluted cities. In order to solve the problem of air pollution the most important thing is to track air pollution on real-time basis first which alerts people to avoid outdoor activities during high air Pollution. This post explains how you can fetch real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) of Indian cities using Python and R code. It allows both Python and R programmers to pull pollution data.
You can download the dataset which contains static information about Indian states, cities and AQI stations. Variables stored in this dataset will be used further to fetch real-time data.

Pointwise mutual information (PMI) in NLP
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has secured so much acceptance recently as there are many live projects running and now it's not just limited to academics only. Use cases of NLP can be seen across industries like understanding customers' issues, predicting the next word user is planning to type in the keyboard, automatic text summarization etc. Many researchers across the world trained NLP models in several human languages like English, Spanish, French, Mandarin etc so that benefit of NLP can be seen in every society. In this post we will talk about one of the most useful NLP metric called Pointwise mutual information (PMI) to identify words that can go together along with its implementation in Python and R.
What is Pointwise mutual information?
PMI helps us to find related words. In other words, it explains how likely the co-occurrence of two words than we would expect by chance. For example the word "Data Science" has a specific meaning when

Numpy is one of the most used module in Python and it is used in a variety of tasks ranging from creating array to mathematical and statistical calculations. Numpy also bring efficiency in Python programming. While using numpy you may encounter this error TypeError: only size-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars It is one of the frequently appearing error and sometimes it becomes a daunting challenge to solve it.
Meaning : Only Size 1 Arrays Can Be Converted To Python Scalars ErrorThis error generally appears when Python expects a single value but you passed an array which consists of multiple values. For example : you want to calculate exponential value of an array but the function for exponential value was designed for scalar variable (which means single value). When you pass numpy array in the function, it will return this error. This error handling is to prevent your code to process further and avoids unexpected output (continued...)

In the past few years python has gained a huge popularity as a programming language in data science world. Many banks and pharma organisations have started using Python and some of them are in transition stage, migrating SAS syntax library to Python. Many big organisations have been using SAS since early 2000 and they developed a hundreds of SAS codes for various tasks ranging from data extraction to model building and validation. Hence it's a marathon task to migrate SAS code to any other programming language. Migration can only be done in phases so day to day tasks would not be hit by development and testing of python code. Since Python is open source it becomes difficult sometimes in terms of maintaining the existing code. Some SAS procedures are very robust and powerful in nature its alternative in Python is still not implemented, might be doable but not a straightforward way for average developer or analyst.

Oktoberfest: Parklands High School's Giovanna Simpson, Somerset Rotarians Tia Poole and Mary Duniam and The Wharf Hotel Wynyard owner Khyle Frost are preparing for the October 24 event. Picture: Rodney Woods.
The Rotary Club of Somerset is holding an Oktoberfest event later this month, with proceeds going to a North-West Coast school's connection and engagement program.
The event will be held on October 24, with all money raised going to Parklands High School to help them buy a stove and full size fridge for the school's ACE program.
ACE is an on-site re-engagement program designed to support students to self regulate, develop life and social skills and build the capacity of students to gain future employment.
Parkland High School's Giovanna Simpson explained why the school was chosen to be the recipient of the fundraiser.
"I went and talked at a Rotary event and spoke about my role in the community and what I do at Parklands High School and the kids that I work with," the Burnie City Council deputy mayor said.
"I told them about the ACE program and from that members of the Rotary were ringing me asking how can we help, how can we work with those disadvantaged or disengaged kids and they came up to the school.
"At that time, they bought us a whole lot of drum kits for our DRUMBEAT program as that is something we use to work with the kids to engage them."
Rotarian and Waratah-Wynyard Council deputy mayor Mary Duniam said participants learnt plenty of life skills through the program.
"The exciting thing about this program is it builds their capacity and capability beyond high school, so they have got those skills for the rest of their lives."
Fellow Rotarian Tia Poole said the Oktoberfest event was planned as a way to give back to the community.
"We wanted to do a local event that helps some of the locals at both the school and with the produce and the entertainment," she said.
"With all the younger members coming in, we are all for that community feel and celebrations and so we decided to do an Oktoberfest."
The Oktoberfest event will be held on October 24 from 12pm at The Wharf Hotel Wynyard, with tickets $75 each.
Each ticket includes a three course meal, a free beer stein, a traditional German biscuit and a free house beverage.
North-West Coast band Lucky 7 will provide entertainment throughout the day.
To attend the event, registrations are essential.


The most grueling Elk hunt ever
Editor’s note: To celebrate David E. Petzal’s 50th birthday at F&S, we asked staff and contributors to choose and share their favorite Petzal story (not an easy task – there are many good ones). Today’s selection, “Perseverance” (February 2013), was made by Phil Bourjaily.
For several years before it occurred to me to try to write, I could read Dave’s work and just enjoy it. Now, the annoying envy bordering on despair nurtures that pleasure: “How does he do it? Why can’t I do this? Why am I worried? ”
Adding to my fear is knowing that for most of Dave’s fifty years on Field & Stream he went to the New York office, which was once full of noise and full of typewriter noise. When he had to write a story, he set aside his editing tasks, eliminated distractions (being dull may have helped) and, those who were there tell me, pulled out that part as if to collect baseball scores.
Except instead of baseball scores, the story would be something perfect like “Perseverance,” a tale of trial and triumph in a deer hunt. As a bonus, it also touches on such essential Petzal themes as the Code of the West and the blowing of horses.
There is no word you would change in “Perseverance” and to say that it is a typical Petzal story does not mean to lower it, but to admit that Dave has worked at an extremely high level for a very long time. tall. We are lucky to have him and we will never see him as his own. – Phil Bourjaily
Years ago, a horse bled Petzal on a deer hunt. F&S Archives
I learned a long time ago for the Code of the West, a hard and ruthless creed that ruled the lives of cowboys, highlanders, traps and frontiersmen of all walks of life. He predicts among other things not to retreat against a stranger, not to beat the horse excessively, not to burst into tears, and to retreat if things do not go well.
I wholeheartedly agree with Code and had the opportunity to abide by his principles in a deer hunt that took place near Cody, Wyo., In the mid-1990s. Winchester sponsored the affair, transporting a group of gun writers west to hunt antelopes, mules and deer. However, out of about a dozen people involved, I was one of two who drew a deer label, which imposed a heavy obligation on me.
After we put an end to the secret existence of the mule deer and the antelope, my guide and I traveled either to Absaroka or to the mountains of the Great Horn (I do not remember which ones) to do the same with a deer. The guide mentioned was a very young boy named Steve Dube, the son of a famous device called Ron Dube. Steve was not just young; he was tough as a boiled owl.
My horse for that day was a chestnut named Trooper, who was spotted drinking that morning without stopping most of the way up the mountain. It was a startling exhibition of bloating horses. The mountain itself was covered with volcanic rocks of all sizes. This caused it to have a bad foundation under normal conditions, and on this day the ground was covered with snow, making things particularly treacherous.
We were climbing to the edge of a basin and Steve warned me to kick off my boots because if Trooper slipped, I would have to get away from him in a hurry. As soon as I did that, Trooper’s legs came out from below. He fell to his side, struggling not to get the Big Slide, while I struggled to keep the Trooper away.
I was mostly successful, but at one point my face and one of his hoovesMy teeth pushed through the cheeks under my lower lip and I got the bloodiest nose of my career. But I was lucky. I had no broken teeth and my nose was unbroken, although it was pumping blood with great vigor.
Trooper and I got to our feet, and you can tell us because he had four legs and I had blood on me. Now at this point you can expect Steve to say, “Are you okay?”
Instead, because he believed in the Code, he said, “You will have to turn against him.”
Because I subscribed to the Code, I said, “Do not worry, I’m not walking on this damn mountain.”
Trooper, perhaps out of sympathy, stopped swearing. And so we climbed the mountain.
When we reached the top, we found not a trace of deer, and the snow was so deep and strong that the horses just walked away from us – groaning and refusing to move. So Steve and I went down and broke the trail until we found a way down the mountain.
By the time we got back to the hallway it was late afternoon. Bare horses and the last time I saw Trooper, he had inserted his head into the alfalfa, creating a new gas charge.
At this point, we could have called it a day, but the Western Code dictated otherwise, and Steve knew where there was a sage dwelling where sometimes the bull sheep would go out to watch the sunset.
We set off, this time by truck, and found the apartment with maybe five minutes shooting time. However, to get from the road to the apartment, we would have to climb almost straight for 25 yards through a snowy shore that was at least 5 feet deep. Steve volunteered to go out first and take a look as I was older and busy with bleeding.
The snow was well above Steve’s waist, but he managed and then leaned over the edge of the shore and looked at me with an expression of pure joy. Come on, he traffic light, there’s a deer.
Thinking this was a place as good as any other to have a heart attack, I bent down to the top through the snow that seemed to come out from under my chin and there, far, far away under the failed light, was a bull deer.
I got into the supine position, held myself very high on the back of the elk and started shooting. Taurus took a few steps in advance and crashed. I took advantage of 15 years of hunting luck just then and there. Because the snow was so deep and we could not accurately count the steps, there was no way to show how far it actually was – certainly over 400 yards, most likely 500. But in deer hunting in real life, if you have a chance, take it because it is the only opportunity you will have.
The next day we climbed up and got it. It was on average 5 × 5, but like the title of a story that appeared Field & Stream years ago he said, “Every deer is a good deer.”
Outside Cody, there is a rebuilt border town consisting of ancient huts, huts and nests looted from across the state. In that city is the tomb of Jonathan Johnson, model Jeremiah Johnson, and at his grave mark is the legend NO MORE TRAILS.
You and I will come to the place where there are no more trails, and before you do, I hope you have at least one hunt like this, when everything seems hopeless and yet succeeds against the wildest odds. You can do it, even when it seems crazy to continue – as long as you adhere to the Western Code.

When they filed their lawsuit this March, opponents of the Prospect Park West redesign had little chance of succeeding in court. As NYU Law Professor Roderick Hills, Jr. told Streetsblog in March, "I take this complaint to be largely public relations, with no more law behind it than is minimally necessary to avoid sanctions for frivolity." It turns out that some of the most prominent members of the anti-bike lane group "Neighbors for Better Bike Lanes" were perfectly aware of the holes in their case too.
One of the central legal arguments in the Prospect Park West lawsuit asserted that the redesign should have gone through the city's landmarks and environmental review processes. "Because Prospect Park West touches not one but tand City law demands careful study of various environmental impacts," stated the lawsuit, referring to the street's location between the Park Slope historic district and Prospect Park itself.
The city's lawyers pointed out that each side of the street is landmarked, but not the roadway itself.
"Unfortunately, the lane is not in the Landmark District," Hainline conceded later that evening.
Steisel agreed, but he recommended that NBBL push the issue anyway. "Doesn't matter that landmarks has no jurisdiction they are kindered spirits along with art comm and cpc types," Steisel wrote. "Bottom line need authorstive voice to say bloomberg legacy will be besmirched by altering this historic street."
The following month, Hainline again stated that the street itself wasn't landmarked. In a September 10, 2010 email to NBBL members, she forwarded a news clip about the expansion of the Park Slope historic district. "I thought these were particularly interesting," said Hainline [PDF], "and in the first one, especially ironic due to the street between the park and PPW not being apparently under Landmarks jurisdiction/protection."
When Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Bert Bunyan threw out NBBL's lawsuit, he cited a procedural issue. Article 78 lawsuits, the kind NBBL filed, carry a four month statute of limitations. Since the bike lane was installed in June 2010, opponents had until November to file suit, but they waited until March 2011 to do so. The bike lane opponents claimed that time had not run out because the project was a "trial," and so the clock hadn't started ticking in the summer.
"The city is trying to avoid litigation on a technicality, which is based on a lie," NBBL attorney Jim Walden told the New York Post in typically bombastic fashion this July. "After having told the public and various elected officials the bike lane was a trial project, the city now makes the incredible claim the lane was permanent all along, and that our suit was filed too late."
Jessica Schumer, a Yale Law School graduate studying for the bar exam at the time, advised NBBL in the summer of 2010, after which she moved to Washington D.C. to take a job with Larry Summers. Schumer sounded the alarm about the statute of limitations issue on July 1, 2010 [PDF]. "The NY court's are very strict in their applicaiton of statute of limitations in Article 78 proceedings," she wrote in an e-mail to her mother, Iris Weinshall, Louise Hainline, and a number of other NBBL members. "We need a lawyer to start drafting the motion ASAP."
Schumer said she believed DOT was being ambiguous about calling the bike lane temporary or permanent. Filing the lawsuit immediately would clarify things, she argued. If the street redesign was permanent, NBBL wouldn't miss their chance to sue; if it was not permanent, the Article 78 would trigger a response from DOT that would remove all doubt. (DOT's Josh Benson had already set the record straight, however, when he publicly stated at a Community Board 6 hearing.) Schumer's advice was sound and it seemed like NBBL had nothing to lose by suing the city right away. It was good legal advice, but for reasons that remain unclear, NBBL chose to wait until March to sue instead, and their suit was thrown out as a result.
In fact, Hainline herself expressed doubts about whether DOT had actually designated the bike lane a trial. On August 25, 2010, Hainline e-mailed Carlo Scissura [PDF], Borough President Marty Markowitz's chief of staff, asking him for help with the matter. ""
Hainline said she'd heardrefer to it as a trial, and wanted confirmation from Scissura. "Do you or Marty know what if DOT has actually said anything publically about the trial, what it would consist of and/or when it would be over? " Markowitz ultimately alleged in a sworn affidavit that Sadik-Khan told him the bike lane was a trial — testimony that earned a strong rebuke from Judge Bunyan for its lack of detail.
Other than Markowitz's threadbare affidavit, neither Hainline nor her lawyers could cite any evidence that DOT had called the lane a temporary project.
The Public Relations Battle: Gibson Dunn Used NBBL to Drum Up Clients Who Would Maximize Suit's PR Potential
Even though the NBBL lawsuit was destined to be dismissed if it wasn't filed within four months of the PPW redesign's installation, bike lane opponents and their lawyers put off the filing and instead focused on ways to enhance appearances. In a display of the importance of PR to the NBBL legal gambit, Gibson Dunn's attorneys tried to recruit local businesses to sign on as plaintiffs along with NBBL and its spin-off, "Seniors for Safety." "Our attorneys want to try to include some local businesses in any Article 78 they eventually file," Hainline wrote to NBBL member Linda Brookoff on January 8, 2011 [PDF] — months after Gibson Dunn had allowed the deadline for filing to pass.
Hainline explained further in an e-mail to four other NBBL members [PDF]: "To clarify what our attorneys asked, they feel that our action would be strengthened by showing that it's not just a few NIMBY 'old rich folks' (my words, not theirs) who are opposed to the bike lane. They felt that support from others, particularly members of the business community negatively affected by the lane, would broaden our chances as an article 78 would need to go in front of a politically-connected/appointed judge, who might choose to dodge a decision unless it seemed to involve more than just our group's dislike of the impact/aesthetics."
Of course, adding business groups to the suit wouldn't have in any way affected the actual legal questions at hand. The environmental impact laws NBBL tried to invoke against the redesign do not list local commercial impacts as a concern, and the city's decision would have been no more "arbitrary or capricious" had business groups opposed it. A theoretical "Businesses For Better Bike Lanes" organization would, however, have added some political and rhetorical firepower to the opponents' arsenal.

of God that focus only on "me" and "how I feel," and get into the Light of the World. When they focus and receive that Light it promises to cast out the darkness. As a church, and as people who claim to love God, we cannot afford to be spiritually deprived of Light. We must cancel out Spiritual Light Deprivation Disorder.
Natural and Spiritual Light Comparison
The medical field has proven some basic facts about light. They have proven that people who live in darker areas with above average overcast clouds and longer nights during seasonal changes are the people who suffer the most from light or seasonal disorders which often turn into depression. The exact finding is "Most affected are those living in northern latitudes and in frequently overcast areas, especially during the shortened fall and winter days."
As we started this revelation bulletin we mentioned that the light of the body is the eye and if your eyes are singularly polarized (single) on God, your whole body will be full of light. However, that same spiritual light may be like the tree cover described above. The church, false leaders, ill relationships, insecurity, past mistakes, spousal issues, work issues, and family concerns have become the trees that are covering the revelation or showing the source of Light. This blockage has caused you to have spiritual light deprivation, and has brought more darkness than light into your circumstance. Let me encourage you that the Light of life can quickly cast out that darkness, but you first must stop any and all multi-polar affections that are getting your attention and causing your swings in affections.
The modern day church is now forced to start addressing the issues they face and hopefully will call by name the very things that have taken their attention off the Light of Life. All of God's love, grace, and mercy that focus only on what I receive, must be received with the truth that God is Light, and that Light is what casts out my darkness. His grace forgives my sin, His love makes me feel loved, but it is His very nature of Light that keeps the darkness out. The very reason many people suffer and continue to wrestle with the enemy on a regular basis is that the Light has not penetrated into their circumstance. The Light that I serve, promises that He will cast out all darkness; and darkness cannot exist in His pure light.
We believe that both the physical and spiritual worlds are God's, and He is light and also created physical light. This means I want as much physical and spiritual light as possible.
In closing, we say ... World eat your heart out ... This generation of light is now naming our own words for our time of frustration and needs, such as: Shift Happens, Spiritual Light Deprivation, Spiritual bi-polar, tri-polar, and quad-polar Christianity</s> May 19th, 2016

Amazon is a wonderful tool to help find out how people feel about the book you are interested in reading. Amazon provides a 5 star rating system in ½ star increments, so you can see if the book is highly recommended at around 5 stars out of 5, or not highly recommended at a lower star rating such as 1 star out of five. However, use caution with Amazon. You will want to read several ratings and make sure they seem genuine and legit. Many less-known authors will create fake user names and have their peers do the same to drive up their star ratings. It is a sorry way to make themselves look better and their books seem better than it may actually be. If you see that a book has similarly worded ratings and nothing but 5 star ratings, take a second look before buying the book. Also, look at the author’s other books and see how they are rated. This may help give you a good idea of whether or not the author is actually a decent, respected writer. A business owners get advice on business books to have a successful business improvement.
6. Avoid “Get Rich Quick” or “Make Millions Now” books
7. Read the first few pages
for dozens of years. You may even come across books by authors such as Dale Carnegie that are highly recommended and have been published for over 70 years now. If a book has been in publication for so many decades, you can bet it is a great read. You will also find books by authors such as Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffet that are proven and full of great principles and advice. These authors are usually very old or have passed away, but their books have lived on and are time-tested to have good advice and principles valuable to business people today.

The Boulders In Schools Program is really starting to “roll”. CCGS has placed Boulders in five Schools and at the Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens, the last one being Kaffee Middle School, with several more lined upCCGS Program is suddenly becoming increasingly popular with possible “boulder avalanche warnings” for later. Kids in the Coastal Bend that have never seen a really large chunk of real Igneous, Metamorphic, or Sedimentary Rock will now have a chance to see, feel, and experience real rocks right in their own school yard thanks to the CCGS Boulders In Schools Program. A toast of special thanks goes to our Boulder placement team: Krista Burke, Dennis Moore, and Rick Paige. We also had good reports from the Teacher Extravaganza from Krista Burke and Alan Costello. Other CCGS team members are gearing up for the CASTconvention that will be held in Corpus Christi where CCGS will be helping out with educational teaching materials that will be provided to the attending teachers and a special Bones Presentation by Mike Lucente. A new Grant request through one of our important Foundations is currently being submitted to secure funds and help handle this “boulder avalanche” that is headed toward the Coastal Bend. CCGSwide eyed and inquisitive students throughout our local schools. Earth Science is real because of the CCGS effort.
The GCAGS Convention was held this year in the great city of Austin, Texas. I hope that you were one of the many CCGS members that were able to attend this year’s convention in the State Capital of Texas. Activities and Field Trips and Presentations were all of excellent caliber and yes the Tsunami of the Unconventional Plays was still present in the main fabric of the Convention. I had the opportunity to attend the GCAGS Board Meeting in Austin and was pleased to present a Highlights Summary to the entire group about the success of the Corpus Christi Geological Society and all of our associated Programs and Activities for 2012 and 2013.
Oil prices are excellent and natural gas is once again improving. The Light of the Independent Oil and Gas Companies is beginning to shine a little brighter once again. To be successful, we must Embrace Petroleum Geologyand find hydrocarbons in the form of Gas/ Condensate and Oil. So what are we looking for in the conventional world? A great well does not have to be lying on its side. Below are two excellent examples of excellent hydrocarbon sands found vertically right here on the Texas Gulf Coast. Both of these vertical wells were drilled in older Fields where everyone said that there was nothing left. Gas –Condensate Wells offer the best of both worlds and are highly sought after to provide good economics that provide offsetting balances in product price. Find some today like this and your economics will look great on your Prospect. What we have here is a beautiful Gas-Condensate Frio Nodosaria Channel Sand with 70’ of virgin pressure net gas-condensate with high porosity and permeability with tremendous mud log shows. This well has produced over 12 BCF and 140,073 BC. Be sure and closely look at the resistivity values in this gas-condensate sand as well as the average porosity through the main distributary channel sand! This well had a CAOF of 950 MMCFGPD or almost 1 BCF a day at an idealized calculated absolute open flow! This Gas-Condensate Petroleum Geology is definitely worth Embracing.
If you do not go after Gas-Condensate Reservoirs then Embrace an Oil Sand like below as a highly economic target. At $90 to$100/Barrel your prospect economics will again look fantastic! Oil wells offer the highest most attractive product price in this current time. What you have here is a really good Yegua Formation Pettus Sand that is literally full of Oil with 12’ of net oil sand greater than or equal to 24% density porosity. This Oil sand has excellent quality with permeability exhibiting a very smooth SP curve. Note the classic stacking pattern of the density-neutron curves for the indication of an oil filled sand. This same sand was penetrated by a total of 6 wells and has produced 527,604 BO since 2003 or about 87,934 BO per well. This Oil Petroleum Geology is also very much worth Embracing.
EMBRACE PETROLEUM GEOLOGY!
Our Guest speaker for Nove will be one of our own special members, Ray Govett, and his topic for his presentation is “Nueces River Capture”. Please be there to welcome Ray and listen to his presentation on how to understand modern river processes! This information could help you in formulating exploration models. Also congratulate Ray on the completion of the CCGS history movie “Tales from the South Texas Oil Patch” which will debut at a CCGS Social in late January of 2013. I will look forward to seeing all of you there in the Town Club on Thursday November 15th from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00p.m. Also CCGS will present Scholarships to some of our local Geology Students at the November noon meeting.


iness. But what made me totally forget all about the cost was the fact that their support band, Ex Lovers, were superb too. And so, in a fit of inevitable cunning, they are Today’s New Band.
Ex Lovers play songs that do exactly what you were hoping they’d do, just when you were hoping it would happen. Thanks, Ex Lovers, for making that £9.50 seem like a bargain. Their songs are like soft electricity, a descripiton which I freely accept is the most pretentious phrase I have ever typed. But it fits. Listen to them here. </s> Moderator: Greg

One thing is true though - it is all opinio CNBC (original link)
“There has been a shift in mentality, it’s cool to be an entrepreneur, people are not afraid of taking risks,” Fjeldsoe-Nielsen told CNBC in a phone interview.
But many of the larger rounds in Europe have come with the help of U.S. investors with a funding gap still remaining. On a gross domestic product adjusted basis, U.S. venture capital funds raised 5.3 times more than their European peers. The gap is equivalent to around $25 billion a year, according to Atomico’s report.
There are signs that the gap could decrease in coming years. Total VC funds closed in Europe hit 4.3 billion euros in 2015, up 35 percent year-on-year. And the number of those that were above 250 million euros was 5, an improvement on the 3 seen in 2014. But this has not hampered the growth of Europe’s start-ups thanks to strong participation from U.S. VCs.
‘Deep tech’ expertise
Many of Europe’s most valuable private companies have lent themselves to the consumer space – Uber, Airbnb and Snapchat for example. Europe’s entrepreneurs, however, are attempting to take a lead in the so-called “deep tech” space which includesnew forms of hardware such as drones and robotics.
British chipmaking start-up Graphcore is one of the wave of “deep tech” firms. It recently raised $30 millionocessing units designed for AI. Chief Executive Nigel Toon said deep tech start-ups have been able to take off due to the “pool of world class experts” out of Europe’s educational institutions. Over half of Graphcore’s team are PhDs.
“Once you build a really strong team, it becomes a magnet for more talent – the best hardware and software engineers want to work together,” Toon told CNBC via email.
Google bought London-based DeepMind for a reported £400 million in 2014, while just this year, Microsoft acquired predictive texting start-up SwiftKey. So far this year, mergers and acquisitions in European deep tech have had a record year with transactions worth over $88 billion thanks to SoftBank’s acquisition of semiconductor giant ARM for $32 billion and Qualcomm’s $47 billion purchase of NXP, according to Atomico.
It’s not just U.S. technology firms on the hunt for innovative European start-ups. Traditional corporates in the region are also in on the act. Companies in a range of sectors are facing threats from nimbler and more innovative start-ups and one way to fight back is to invest in technology start-ups.
“The old model of this monolithic R&D department that will churn our new great innovations is over. All large corporations are re-thinking their innovation model,” Bo Ilsoe, a partner at Nokia Growth Partners, the VC arm of the Finnish network equipment phone maker told CNBC in an interview last week.
The thinking has led to the top 50 European corporates by value investing in 72 tech start-ups this year, just shy of the 80 investments made last year.

We can expect lighter — but not too light — material.
In yet another dispatch from August’s Twitter dialogue, M.I.A. flatly stated that Matangi will include absolutely “no collabs,” meaning we won’t see anything like Kala‘s excellent guest spots, which included both well-known artists like Timbaland and less-exposed rappers like Afrikan Boy. (M.I.A. concluded the same tweet with the words, “maybet .” No word on what that means.)  It’s unclear whether that group includes longtime collaborators like Diplo or Blaqstarr, but Hit-Boy, the man behind “N*ggas in Paris” and “Clique,” let slip at the Grammys that he and M.I.A. made “seven incredible records.” If all of them make it onto the album, that means more than half of Matangi is the work of a single producer, albeit one with a proven track record.

KOINUKO'S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Jan. 26th, 2021 - Jan. 26th, 2022
I've learned a lot about HTML, CSS, and even a little bit of hodgepodge, in-the-moment JavaScript since I started my first NeoCities site - yes, there was another (short-lived) webpage that I created before this one! However, I shut it down and instead opted to put my focus onto a personal homepage on January 26th, 2021. I'm so glad that I did... this has been one of the most freeing endeavors I've ever tackled, and I'd like to say that I'm sticking to my guns fairly well in terms of updating!
Lovingly crafted in Microsoft Expression Web 4, my site is approximately 940 MB, all told, although I'm certain I could clean out some of my unused files - of which there are 5,077, contained in 285 different folders. koinuko.neocities.org has a whopping 170,752 views, which it's gotten thanks to the 173 (?!) people who follow the site and have watched it evolve over the course of 3,515 updates. Wow!! All of that's a long ways away from what this website started out as... which was a completely black page with this message on it:
(this was the image, for anybody curious)
Since then, I can happily say that my website has evolved quite a bit. In fact, we can take a look at a few different stages of its evolution...!
^ June of 2021 (my very first layout was just the main section, without the floating bits.)
^ July of 2021
So... in all that time, what have I accomplished on this website? Well... lots! I created a personal space for me to enjoy myself and talk about whatever my dear little heartound plenty of other amazing websites to explore and interesting people to read about. I made a webring, after hours and hours of grueling effort... and people joined it! I commissioned somebody for the first time! I (sort of?) learned how float works... kind of!! I've done a lot, and I'm really, really proud of myself...! Plus, I had loads of fun in the process!!
Some of my favorite pages I've made over the past year:
- My Love Live card collection. It's extremely simple, but it's like the only time I've ever tried to make something scaling/responsive, so I like it.
- My calendar. It was a recent addition, but I love how it turned out!
- The beach. Nothing more than an experiment layering graphics I found on gifcities, but I think it's really cozy and cute. :)
So... what are some of my goals for the coming year, from January 26th, 2022, to January 26th, 2023? Well... I'd like to do some stuff with my OCs, even if the projects are very small. I'm working on a very simple HTML dressup game right now, for example. I would like to play around a little bit more with JavaScript, and make some fun little gadgets or pages for people to mess with. OH... and make some more graphics!! Those are my goals for this next year on NeoCities. :)
And... well.... there's one other thing I want to say on this page, even though it's not really related to my NeoCities anniversary... um, some of you may (or may not) notice a very slight change on my homepage as of today... which is, namely, this:


Dormers, Dormers Everywhere! $2 M. House Sets a Record for Victorian Flatbush
We may not be able to agree on a name for the neighborhood—is it Flatbush? or Ditmas Park? or Prospect Park South?—but at $2 million, the house at 114 Westminster Road is definitely a record for a single-lot Victorian home in whatever you choose to call it. (A house at 145 Argyle Road around the corner sold for $20,000 more last year, but it included an adjacent vacant full-sized lot.)

* Martha:  Martha is a new friend of mine who is growing by leaps and bounds since coming into relationship with Christ.  She has quite a history, but the Lord is giving her new hope and new life now, undefined by the turmoil and darkness of her past!  She is now faithful at church, always offers a helping hand, and has recently gained boldness to reach out to family members with whom relationship had previously been severed.  She is eating up books on prayer and Bible study and eager dive into real life with Christ.  Well, she isn't just eager to dive in, she is IN it now! Thank the Lord!

I had not yet told anyone about this specific request, but a week later I received an e-mail from Adrienne inviting me to board at her home!  Thanks, God!  Thanks, Adrienne!)
-- Work Visa arrival:  After months and months of paperwork to acquire a visa, teaching license and police clearance, it was just days before I was to depart for NZ and I had still not received my visa and passport in the mail.  . . .and then it arrived with a week to spare!

ABSTRACT This review paper discusses the field of particle resuspension from surfaces, with special attention paid to the developments of the last decade. We present both general models of particle resuspension which appear in the literature, and studies on specific aspects of the problem. Among the topics discussed in the paper, one can find such diverse subjects as effect of particle and substrate material properties, modeling of particle adhesion, hydrodynamic mechanisms of particle removal, particle detachment from smooth and rough surfaces, and particle motion after its detachment. Also presented are particle resuspension from multilayer deposits and resuspension phenomena in liquid environments. Modern methods of particle removal and other related topics of interest are discussed.

He said the city earlier approved golf course management to apply for six special event licenses that would allow beer on the course because it is important for recruiting tournaments.
He said the city council has been apprehensive about allowing beer on the course because they want it to also be inviting to youth and people who do not drink.Chief of Police Dave Lacy asked city commissioners to establish the boundaries of the Wildwood Golf course, so golfers and police know where the approved area stops and the rest of Wildwood and Steinhart parks begin.He also said commissioners may need to change the city’s ordinance banning the consumption of alcohol on public property, such as streets or parks.
Lacy said it is a state law that you can not have an open alcohol container on a public roadway.Bill Davis, city attorney, said golfers crossing Steinhart Park Road may be in violation of the open container law.Bovick said a golf course in Omaha and Arbor Links at Nebraska City also have a public roadway to deal with.City commissioners did not order a boundary study or changes to the open container ordinance on Monday, but voted to pursue the liquor license.
