1. Storm Pakhar hits Hong Kong and Macau days after deadly Typhoon Hato
Key Points
- Tropical storm Pakhar has brought high intensity winds and very heavy rain to Hong Kong and Macau; merely four days after one of the strongest typhoons on record, Hato, caused severe flooding and damage.
- Pakhar’s arrival comes as the cities are still reeling from Hato.
Basic Information
Understanding Tropical Cyclones and its different names
- A tropical cyclone is a generic term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has a closed, low-level circulation.
- Once a tropical cyclone reaches maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or cyclonedepending upon the location where the storm originates in the world.
- Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same weather phenomenon; we just use different names for these storms in different locations.
- In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, it is called as “hurricane”. A similar disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is known as a “typhoon” and in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean it is referred to as “cyclones”.
- The pre-requisites for these storms include a pre-existing weather disturbance, warm tropical oceans, moisture, and relatively light winds.
- If the right conditions persist long enough, then they can combine to produce violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains, and floods which are usually associated with this phenomenon.
Key Points
- Article 35A in the Indian Constitution is a provision which gives the J&K Legislature a carte blanche to decide who all are ‘permanent residents’ of the State and confer on them special rights and privileges in public sector employment, purchase of property in the State, scholarships and other government aid and welfare. It mandates that no act of the legislature coming under it can be challenged for violation of the Constitution or any other law of the land.
- Article 35A was added into the Constitution in 1954 by an order of the then President Rajendra Prasad on the advice of the Union Cabinet led by Jawaharlal Nehru. The controversial Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order of 1954 followed the 1952 Delhi Agreement, which provided Indian citizenship to the citizens of J&K.
- The Presidential Order was issued under Article 370 (1) (d) of the Constitution. This feature allows the President to make certain “exceptions and modifications” to the Constitution for the benefit of citizens of J&K.
- So Article 35A was included in the Constitution as a mark of the special consideration the Indian government extended to the ‘permanent residents’ of J&K.
- The President incorporated Article 35A into the Constitution by bypassing the parliamentary route. Article 368 (i) of the Constitution mandates that only the Parliament can amend the Constitution. So the question is did the President act outside his jurisdiction? Is Article 35A null and void because the government did not carry out a Parliamentary discussion?
- A five-judge Bench of the Supreme Court in its 1961 judgment discussed the powers of the President under Article 370 to ‘amend’ the Constitution, during the Puranlal Lakhanpal vs. The President of India case. The court observed that the President can modify an existing article in the Constitution under Article 370 but the SC ruling is silent over the President’s power to introduce a new Article without the Parliament’s knowledge. This question remains unanswered.
- Critics argue that Article 35A goes against the principles of equality and as well as the unity and integrity of India. They argue that it restricts citizens from other States from getting jobs or acquiring property in J&K and is a violation of fundamental rights enshrined under Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution.
- Article 35A has also been challenged for protecting certain provisions of the J&K Constitution, which limits the basic right to property if a native woman marries a man who does not possess a certificate of permanent residence.
- Recently, a Supreme Court Bench has indicated that the validity of Articles 35A and 370 may ultimately be decided by a Constitution Bench.
2. Rajiv Kumar appointed as the second Vice-Chairman of the NITI Aayog
Key Points
- Rajiv Kumar has been picked as the 2nd Vice-Chairman of the NITI Aayog, the think tank which replaced the Planning Commission.
- He is an Oxford-educated economist with extensive experience – both in and outside the government – in shaping the contours of public policy.
- The Vice-Chairman of NITI Aayog reports directly to the Prime Minister and wields a powerful influence on the management of the economy and the Centre’s policy priorities.
- Reviving the formal economy, spurring private investment and creating jobs is likely to be the focus of Mr. Kumar and he feels all other economic priorities must make way for employment creation.
- Mr. Kumar believes higher employment will automatically push the Indian economy close to double digit growth. He holds strong views about India’s foreign trade policy and could prioritise the overhaul of the export incentives system.
- He could bring some relief for citizens as he believes the government could lower the high taxes on petroleum products to encourage consumption and investment demand.
- He is also a firm supporter for a voluntary two-year social service scheme for the youth to ensure unemployment doesn’t lead them astray. This programme would have to be run by the armed forces and national integration has to be its principal objective.

1. 3.8 million displaced by DR Congo violence: UN
Key Points
- The number of people displaced by conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, mainly in the volatile Kasai region, has nearly doubled in the last six months to 3.8 million
- UNHCR has said that food and clothing was required for the 1.4 million refugees in Kasai who have fled their homes due to violence that has killed more than 3,000 people.
- In the south eastern province of Tanganyika, clashes between Bantus and Pygmies have also forced thousands to seek refuge, as has the long-running conflict in the Kivu region
- In Kasai, clashes began last September after the killing of a tribal chieftain, known as the Kamwina Nsapu, who rebelled against the authority of President Joseph Kabila’s regime in Kinshasa and its local authorities.
- The murder sparked large scale violence that has escalated and has led to alleged human rights violations such as extrajudicial killings, rapes, torture and the use of child soldiers, all of which constitute violation of international law.
- At the same time, the country is also coping with the arrival of about 500,000 refugees fleeing conflict in neighbouring Burundi, Rwanda, South Sudan and the Central African Republic where about 60,000 people have fled to DRC this year.
Basic Information
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
- The UNHCR, also known as the UN Refugee Agency, is a UN programme mandated to protect and support refugees at the request of a government or the UN itself and assists in their voluntary repatriation, local integration or resettlement to a third country.
- Its headquarters is located in Geneva, Switzerland, and it is a member of the United Nations Development Group.
- The UNHCR has won two Nobel Peace Prizes (in 1954 and again in 1981).
- The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, provide the mandate to UNHCR.
2. India, Qatar discuss citizens’ welfare
Key Points
- India and Qatar discussed the welfare of Indian citizens in Qatar in the wake of its lingering disputes with other Aran nations – Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain.
- The two sides also discussed ways to expand co-operation in energy, trade and investment including the welfare of the more than six lakh Indian workers.
- In June this year the four Arab countries had announced breaking off diplomatic ties and shutting all connectivity links with Qatar over allegations that it supported terrorism and Qatar had rejected these charges.
- India had impressed upon the countries in the region to resolve the crisis via constructive dialogue and well-established international principles of mutual respect.
- India’s ties with Qatar have intensified in the last few years and India has expressed keen interest in investing in Qatar’s hydrocarbon projects.
- PM Modi during the recent visit of his Qatari counterpart had also discussed enhancing cooperation in defence and security and both agreed on joint action to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
1. Using satellite imagery, Internet to arrive at farm insurance solution
Key Points
- Space entrepreneurs plan to improve the livelihood of farmers without directly working with them by deploying a combination of satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics.
- This technology can help farmers to acquire bank loans, timely and correct insurance claims and may be even ensure a good MSP (minimum support price) for their crop.
- This can be done by syncing satellite imagery-based information with ground level data and this in turn can be used to improve the livelihood of farmers
- By reducing the risks associated with India’s weather dependent, subsistence farming; this idea should make it easier for the farmer to increase his income; and get agricultural loans and insurance and its timely settlement. In return the government can spend less on insurance premium subsidies and agriculture insurance companies will have less pay-out to make and it can also serve as a scientific basis for fixing MSPs.
- Researchers are pulling data from Indian and European satellites and old imageries from the U.S. Landsat and keyed in latitudes and longitudes of remote places across the country to match them up with local socio-economic data. To this the ‘mandi’-level commodity prices, potential prices, and historical rates have been synced.
- They began their pilot project in Andhra Pradesh’s Srikakulam district. They randomly chose different crops with different mixes of fertilizer and water. At the end of the 2016 cropping seasons — the summer Kharif and the winter Rabi — they could predict crop yields that were 85-90% accurate and this has been now fine-tuned to 95%. Conventional or manual estimate methods are said to be less than 80% accurate.
Forecasting crop yields
- An accurate forecast of crop yields are crucial and will help the farmer and as well as all the stakeholders: the bank that lends him credit; the government that pays premiums on crop insurance and fixes MSPs; and the insurance agency that must compensate the farmer if crops fail.
- In July, the CAG identified gaps in the implementation of agricultural insurance scheme during the 2011–16 period and pointed out delays in settling claims. The CAG report also said that the farmers did not get the full benefit of the ₹36,000 crore-plus subsidies that the Union and State governments had declared towards crop insurance premium.
- The tool being developed has a Google Earth-like navigable online dashboard and will be customised to be offered to end users such as district collectors, decision makers, crop insurance companies, banks, and large single farmers.
- The new Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana mandates all stakeholders to deploy technologies such as satellite remote sensing, ICT, and mobile phones to identify risks and settle farmers’ claims quickly.

1. Researchers from NIT-Karnataka and US develop cheaper plastics
Key Points
- A team of researchers from the National Institute of Technology, Karnataka, and the New York University, U.S., have developed composite plastics that are up to 36% lighter than those currently being used.
- The team focussed on embedding hollow microspheres into high density polyethylene, which is the most commonly moulded plastic product.
- Through a method of trial and error spanning two years, researchers have managed to shed plastic usage by nearly 20%. They have replaced it with glass microballoons and fly ash cenospheres.
- The challenge with composite materials is that it is developed in controlled conditions in the lab which cannot be replicated in the industry. But with the new technique that has been developed, low-cost, light-weight composites can be manufactured at any industry using the regular compression moulding machines
- While hollow microspheres and composites are lighter and cheaper, the challenge facing the team was to ensure the microspheres remained intact despite the processes of industrial moulding.
- By successfully imbibing hollow spheres into otherwise solid plastic base, the density of the material has been brought down by nearly 50%. The end material was found to have a significantly greater ability to absorb energy.
- The researchers believe that this could help in the production of more light-weight material and the reduced usage of plastics. For instance, the reduction in weight will significantly improve fuel efficiency in cars and planes.
1. Jaish-e-Mohammed carries out a deadly attack in J&K
Key Points:
- 8 security personnel and 3 militants were killed when militants of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) stormed the highly secure District Police Lines premises in Pulwama.
- The terrorists stormed the Special Operation Group building which houses the police arm that handles counter-insurgency operations.
Basic Information
- Jaish-e-Mohammed is viewed by Indian security agencies as the “deadliest” and “the principal terrorist group operating in Jammu and Kashmir”
- Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence(ISI) is said to have created Jaish-e-Mohammed by working with several Deobandi terrorists and it is known to have long-standing ties with the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
- JeM was founded by Maulana Masood Azhar, who was in Indian custody prior to 1999 and had to be released as part of the negotiations to end the hostage crisis when an Indian Airlines flight IC-814 was hijacked by terrorists.
- JeM became a part of the ISI-sponsored United Jihad Council, an umbrella organisation of around 13–16 militant organisations that carry out attacks in Indian-administered Kashmir.
- India is pushing the UNSC to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist but the efforts are being blocked by China.
Major attacks attributed to JeM
- Attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001.
- Murder of Daniel Pearl, an American journalist in Karachi.
- Pathankot Air base attack in 2016.
- Uri Attack in 2016 which prompted India to retaliate with surgical strikes on terror camps operating beyond the LoC.
2. Defence Minister dedicates upgraded jet trainer Hawk-i to the nation
Key Points
- Defence Minister Arun Jaitley launched several new schemes and infrastructure projects across three of the country’s biggest defence public sector undertakings
- At HAL, he launched the production of the twin-engine light combat helicopter (LCH) and also dedicated the weaponised and upgraded Hawk-i (India), jet trainer aircraft, to the nation.
- The Hawk-I has been upgraded indigenously with newly designed avionics and other features to make it a combat-ready platform and it marks a departure for HAL from the traditional process of developing platforms based on the needs of the Indian armed forces. The Hawk-i has been developed without any confirmed buyers. It will now be put on offer to the Armed Forces.
Hawk-i
- The Hawk is an advanced jet trainer aircraft developed by BAE Systems of UK. It was imported by India under a technology transfer agreement to replace the ageing fleet of IAF trainers with modern trainer jets.
- The aircraft has been upgraded indigenously with newly designed avionics hardware, software and system architecture which enhances its operational role from being just a trainer aircraft into a Combat-ready platform with enhanced quality and depth of training via Large Force Engagement (LFE) tactics through the Electronic Virtual Training System (EVTS).
- Hawk-i is capable of delivering precision munitions including Air to Ground and close combat weapons, self-defence capabilities through Electronic Warfare (EW) systems, digital map generator and operational reliability through new Dual Hot stand-by Mission Computer Avionics architecture supported by indigenous high accuracy and high Altitude Radio Altimeter, Data Transfer system.
HAL Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)
- The LCH is a multirole combat helicopter being developed indigenously by HAL for the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army.
- It’s mainly being developed to meet the demands of the IAF and the Army to have an indigenously developed combat helicopter for high-altitude operations in the Himalayas.
- The LCH is being designed to take on anti-infantry and anti-armour roles and will be capable of high-altitude operations.
- Its design features a narrow fuselage with stealth profiling, armour protection, and it will be equipped to carry out day-and-night combat operations. The LCH also features a digital camouflage system and it has a two-crew cockpit.
- LCH will have a glass cockpit with multifunction displays, a target acquisition and designation system with FLIR, Laser rangefinder and laser designator. Weapons will be aimed with a helmet mounted sight and it has an electronic warfare suite with radar warning receiver, laser warning receiver and a missile approach warning system.
- LCH is intended for use primarily in air defence against slow moving aerial targets (like aircraft and UAVs), Counter Surface Force Operation (CSFO), destruction of enemy air defence operations, escort to special Heli borne operations (SHBO), Counter-insurgency operations (COIN), offensive Employment in Urban Warfare, support of combat search and rescue operations (SAR) operations, anti-tank role and scout duties.

1. A new score in waste management
Key Points
- Scientists from CSIR have been able to produce ethanol from discarded cotton-stalks by a combination of chemical and biological techniques. India has about 9.4 million hectares under cotton cultivation and each hectare generates around 2 million tonnes of cotton stalk wastes.
- The cotton stalks were first treated with an acid, alkali and different enzymes to help breakdown the complex organic polymers. Agro-residues are generally tough in nature and it requires chemical pre-treatment to help break down the complex structure of the stalk.
- The acid aids in removal of hemicellulose which a polymer of the cell wall and the alkali extracts lignin which is a binding matrix in the cell wall made up of complex phenolic. These treatments expose cellulose to the action of enzymes. By using enzymes, the cellulose was further treated to convert it into glucose.
Fermentation
- To convert the glucose into ethanol, fermentation using a novel yeast strain was carried out. Researchers isolated the yeast-Saccharomycescerevisiae-RRP-03N, from a rotting wild fruit found in the Silent Valley National Park in Palakkad, Kerala.
- The yeast displayed a glucose conversion efficiency of 76% and the entire glucose was consumed by the yeast in just 24 hours and was converted into alcohol. This performance is superior to any other organism reported for fermentation of cotton stalk.
- The final alcohol thus obtained can be converted to fuel grade bioethanol (>99% purity) after distillation and dehydration using molecular sieves.
Bioethanol
- Bioethanol has many advantages over conventional fuels as it comes from a renewable source. It is now mandatory to blend 10% ethanol with petrol.
- Bioethanol that is presently in use is obtained via fermentation of molasses which is a by-product of sugar production and it has food value.
- Most of this first generation ethanol finds its way into consumer applications, primarily as liquor/alcohol. By converting such agro-residues to ethanol we can reduce the food vs fuel competition.

Using Widgets
Widgets are how you create your GUI. They are the things which appear on the GUI, everything from the app itself to text boxes, buttons and pictures.
At the start of every guizero program, choose the widgets you need from the guizero library and import them e.g.
from guizero import App, Text, PushButton, Slider
You only need to import each widget once, and then you can use it in your program as many times as you like.
The App widget
Every guizero app will need an App widget. This is the main window.
At the end of every guizero program you must tell the program to display
the app you have just created.
from guizero import App
app = App(title="My guizero app")
app.display()
Adding widgets
All the text boxes, buttons, sliders and even plain old pieces of text which appear on your GUI are widgets.
All widgets go between the line of code to create the App
and the app.display()
line.
from guizero import App, Text, TextBox
app = App(title="Whats your name?")
# create widgets here
message = Text(app, text="Enter your name")
name = TextBox(app)
app.display()
Let’s look at the Text widget code in a bit more detail:
message = Text(app, text="Enter your name")
message =
- TheText
object has a name, just like any variableText
- an object which creates a piece of text on the screenapp
– This tells theText
where it will live. Most of the time your widgets will live directly inside the app.text="Enter your name"
- The text to display
Have a look at Widget overview to see all the widgets, find out more about them and how they are used.
Using events
An event is how you trigger code as a result of users interacting with your app. An example of an event could be a user clicking on a button or entering text into a TextBox. When an event occurs you can run a piece of code.
This is how you make your app "do stuff".
Widgets which can be interacted with can accept a command
parameter. You can set the command
parameter to be the name of a function which will be called when the widget is used.
In this example the function say_hello
is called when a PushButton is pressed.
from guizero import App, PushButton, Text
def say_hello():
message.value = "Hello"
app = App()
message = Text(app)
button = PushButton(app, text="Press me", command=say_hello)
app.display()
In this example the command
parameter of a TextBox widget is used to call the count
function which displays how many characters have been entered.
from guizero import App, TextBox, Text
def count():
character_count.value = len(entered_text.value)
app = App()
entered_text = TextBox(app, command=count)
character_count = Text(app)
app.display()
Controlling widgets
The status of a widget can be controlled. This allows you to control how an app is used e.g. Only allowing the submit button of a form to be used when all the data has been entered
You can control whether a widget is:
- shown
- hidden
- enabled
- disabled
A widget will only appear on an app if it is visible. The widget can only be interacted with (used) if it is enabled.
In this example PushButton widgets are used to change the status of a TextBox widget by calling the text box's show
, hide
, disable
and enable
methods.
from guizero import App, PushButton, TextBox
def show():
text_box.show()
def hide():
text_box.hide()
def enable():
text_box.enable()
def disable():
text_box.disable()
app = App()
text_box = TextBox(app)
show_button = PushButton(app, text="show", command=show)
hide_button = PushButton(app, text="hide", command=hide)
enable_button = PushButton(app, text="enable", command=enable)
disable_button = PushButton(app, text="disable",command=disable)
app.display()
Destroying widgets
Widgets can be destroyed (removed) from an application by using the destroy
method.
Once a widget has been destroyed it cannot be used or referenced again. An error will be raised when trying to call a destroyed widget.
from guizero import App, PushButton, Text
def destroy_message():
message.destroy()
app = App()
message = Text(app, text="Destroy me!")
destroy_button = PushButton(app, text="Destroy", command=destroy_message)
app.display()
Warning - destroying a widget in an uncontrolled way could make your application unstable. A widget's code will stop immediately regardless of what your application is doing. It is often to simpler and safer to hide or disable a widget rather than destroy it.


It is reported that Ukranian-Russian Konstantin Kilimnik, a long-time associate of former Trump campaign CEO Paul Manafort, is being investigated by the FBI and State Department in part because he may have influenced the GOP platform on Russia during the 2016 RNC Convention. Kilimnik made at least two trips to the U.S. in April and during the summer of 2016 and met with Manafort. Both U.S. and Ukraine officials suspect Kilimnik has ties to Russian intelligence, which he denies.
In 2005, Kilimnik was terminated from a decade-long role at the U.S.-based International Republican Institute in Moscow due to suspected Russian ties. He then was hired by Manafort as part of a private equity group that purchased a Ukraine-based cable and internet company from funds provided by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. They also worked for Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov's businesses, which later led to political work when Akhmetov began funding the campaign of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. In 2006, Yanukovych was elected prime minister and president in 2010. His political party, the Russian-backed Party of Regions paid Manafort’s firm millions of dollars annually. Kilimnik would go on to run the Kiev office for that firm. Around 2013, the party that arose following the Party of Regions, Opposition Bloc, continued to utilize Manafort's firm. Opposition Bloc stopped paying and Manafort and Kilimnik continued to work together to recoup the unpaid invoices through the time of the U.S. presidential campaign.

Dynamic Typing? Static Typing? Weak, Strong — what exactly are we talking about? Well, I do know that we are not talking about how fast you touch the keyboard but the 'type' as in data type (int, strings).
Dynamic Typing
A dynamically typed language is a language where the type of a variable can be altered at any time and does not need to be declared or initialized. (It is a string, now it is a Fixnum, now it is a Time object, etc.)
Static Typing
When we talk about static typing, the type of a variable is resolved in advance by the compiler. With statically typed languages, you cannot say that x is a string and, a few lines after, that it is an integer.
Strong Typing
Programming languages in which variables have specific data types are strong typed. This implies that in strong typed languages, variables are necessarily bound to a particular data type.
Weak Typing
As opposed to strong typed languages, weak typed languages are those in which variables are not of a specific data type. It should be noted that this does not imply that variables do not have types; it does mean that variables are not "bound" to a specific data type.
Dynamic Typing is Good
In a dynamic typed language, you don't have to initialize variables, which is a big bonus for many developers. Programmers like the fact that you can use a variable at will when required (without having to initialize it). Dynamic typing, in fact, does save you from writing a few "extra" lines of code, which, in turn, means less time spent writing code.
Or Is It?
The very characteristic of dynamic typed languages that appeals to many developers is also a pitfall, and a major one at that. Consider the following simple example:
/* Python code */ my_variable = 10 while my_variable > 0: i = foo(my_variable) if i < 100: my_variable++ else my_varaible = (my_variable + i) / 10 // spelling error intentional
As you can see in the above code, my_varaible is a spelling mistake that the programmer could have very well made. The problem here is that, since Python is dynamically typed, it will not return an error, but instead will create a new variable called my_varaible. So, now we have two variables: my_variable and my_varaible. This obviously is a serious problem; some would suggest that forced variable declaration is an important requirement in any programming language.
There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to both dynamic and static typed languages, as well as strong and weak. I guess it boils down to personal preference.

Hearts sporting director hunt latest as Austin MacPhee is left in limbo
The caretaker boss is a candidate to be the new sporting director at Tynecastle.
by Ross Pilcher, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/ross-pilcher/Caretaker manager Austin MacPhee faces an anxious wait to see if he has won the race to become Hearts sporting director.
Craig Levein's former assistant doesn't look set to continue in the dugout, but is in the running to land the top job at Tynecastle.
But reports that claimed MacPhee has been told he will land the role are premature.
Record Sport understands Ann Budge has yet to begin interviewing for the sporting director job, a role which has been newly created after Levein left his role as director of football following his removal as manager.
Interviews for the position are likely to start next week as the hunt to find the club’s next head coach takes precedence.
A raft of candidates are in contention to become manager including Daniel Stendel.
But as the German is still under contract at Barnsley despite being sacked, there are financial complications with appointing the 45-year-old.
Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson emerged as the early frontrunner but it’s believed an approach has still not been made.
The 44-year-old is also in the running for the Northern Ireland job, with Michael O’Neill ready to concentrate on Stoke City.

apache_beam.io.filesystem module¶
File system abstraction for file-based sources and sinks.
-
class
apache_beam.io.filesystem.
CompressionTypes
[source]¶ Bases:
object
Enum-like class representing known compression types.
-
AUTO
= 'auto'¶
-
BZIP2
= 'bzip2'¶
-
GZIP
= 'gzip'¶
-
UNCOMPRESSED
= 'uncompressed'¶
-
-
class

CompressedFile
(fileobj, compression_type='gzip', read_size=16777216)[source]¶ Bases:
object
File wrapper for easier handling of compressed files.
-
seekable
¶
-
seek
(offset, whence=0)[source]¶ Set the file’s current offset.
Seeking behavior:
- seeking from the end
os.SEEK_END
the whole file is decompressed once to determine it’s size. Therefore it is preferred to useos.SEEK_SET
oros.SEEK_CUR
to avoid the processing overhead - seeking backwards from the current position rewinds the file to
0
and decompresses the chunks to the requested offset - seeking is only supported in files opened for reading
- if the new offset is out of bound, it is adjusted to either
0
orEOF
.
Parameters: - offset (int) – seek offset in the uncompressed content represented as number
- whence (int) – seek mode. Supported modes are
os.SEEK_SET
(absolute seek),os.SEEK_CUR
(seek relative to the current position), andos.SEEK_END
(seek relative to the end, offset should be negative).
Raises: IOError
– When this buffer is closed.ValueError
– When whence is invalid or the file is not seekable
- seeking from the end
-
-
class
apache_beam.io.filesystem.
FileMetadata
(path, size_in_bytes)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Metadata about a file path that is the output of FileSystem.match
-
class
apache_beam.io.filesystem.
MatchResult
(pattern, metadata_list)[source]¶ Bases:
object
Result from the
FileSystem
match operation which contains the list of matched FileMetadata.
-
class
apache_beam.io.filesystem.
FileSystem
(pipeline_options)[source]¶ Bases:
apache_beam.utils.plugin.BeamPlugin
A class that defines the functions that can be performed on a filesystem.
All methods are abstract and they are for file system providers to implement. Clients should use the FileSystems class to interact with the correct file system based on the provided file pattern scheme.
Parameters: pipeline_options – Instance of PipelineOptions
.-
CHUNK_SIZE
= 1¶
-
join
(basepath, *paths)[source]¶ Join two or more pathname components for the filesystem
Parameters: - basepath – string path of the first component of the path
- paths – path components to be added
Returns: full path after combining all the passed components
-
split
(path)[source]¶ Splits the given path into two parts.
Splits the path into a pair (head, tail) such that tail contains the last component of the path and head contains everything up to that.
For file-systems other than the local file-system, head should include the prefix.
Parameters: path – path as a string Returns: a pair of path components as strings.
-
mkdirs
(path)[source]¶ Recursively create directories for the provided path.
Parameters: path – string path of the directory structure that should be created Raises: IOError if leaf directory already exists.
-
match
(patterns, limits=None)[source]¶ Find all matching paths to the patterns provided.
Parameters: - patterns – list of string for the file path pattern to match against
- limits – list of maximum number of responses that need to be fetched
Returns: list of
MatchResult
objects.Raises: BeamIOError
if any of the pattern match operations fail
-
create
(path, mime_type='application/octet-stream', compression_type='auto')[source]¶ Returns a write channel for the given file path.
Parameters: - path – string path of the file object to be written to the system
- mime_type – MIME type to specify the type of content in the file object
- compression_type – Type of compression to be used for this object
Returns: file handle with a close function for the user to use
-
open
(path, mime_type='application/octet-stream', compression_type='auto')[source]¶ Returns a read channel for the given file path.
Parameters: - path – string path of the file object to be read
- mime_type – MIME type to specify the type of content in the file object
- compression_type – Type of compression to be used for this object
Returns: file handle with a close function for the user to use
-
copy
(source_file_names, destination_file_names)[source]¶ Recursively copy the file tree from the source to the destination
Parameters: - source_file_names – list of source file objects that needs to be copied
- destination_file_names – list of destination of the new object
Raises: BeamIOError
if any of the copy operations fail
-
rename
(source_file_names, destination_file_names)[source]¶ Rename the files at the source list to the destination list. Source and destination lists should be of the same size.
Parameters: - source_file_names – List of file paths that need to be moved
- destination_file_names – List of destination_file_names for the files
Raises: BeamIOError
if any of the rename operations fail

Is Telemedicine The Future Of Health Care?
Telemedicine is a disruptive model of care delivery that challenges the current status quo in the world of medicine. These are innovations that create displacement in the established market leaders by providing and offering products and services that are cheaper, simpler, and more convenient than the current ones. One of the innovations is the use of electronic communications to exchange medical information from one site to another to improve a patient’s clinical health status.
The success of a disruptive technology is relatively tied to its business model. The business model provides a framework for an organization to create and capture value out of the disruption. Pairing telemedicine with the right innovative business model can lead to greater accessibility and affordability (Eysenbach, 2019).
Telemedicine is something that requires time to get used to. According to a Neil Raden report, it already has presented obstacles to US state-based medical practitioners. For example, a traditional physician does not know from where the patient is connecting. Even existing patients may be using a telemedicine call while somewhere else. Technically, if the doctor is unlicensed in that jurisdiction, they can be exposed to disciplinary action. On the other hand, if the doctor is in a different state for whatever reason and takes a telemedicine call, he or she can also be out of compliance (Raden, 2020).
Despite this, telemedicine is still primed to disrupt traditional healthcare and is seen as the 'future of medicine'. Based on a study conducted by Josh Althauser, in other places such as India, telemedicine is widely used to address the needs of rural communities. Lazarus Hospital, for example, is treating renal disease using SMS, digital cameras, and the Internet to stay in touch with patients and monitor their health. The best part about this is that it is only a fraction of the cost of chronic care compared with those in the United States.
Telemedicine includes facility-based and in-person services. It not only creates greater access but also affordability in the health care system. It is an innovation that focuses on the improvement of the current system and greatly sustains the performance in the traditional market. It is disruptive because of its holistic view towards one health care service that causes debate or stirs within the word of medicine (Eysenbach, 2019).
On-demand telemedicine are often included when offering newcomer service lines often which are initiated by health care consumers. This service can be compared to the traditional modes of facility-based in-person care delivery. These on-demand services are patient-initiated and accessible anytime and anywhere. These potential advantages attract health organizations in high volatility environments in order to manage existing pressures such as high consumerism (Eysenbach, 2019).
Due to the increased trajectory in the market and the adoption rates among health organizations, on-demand telemedicine may hold great promise as a disruptive technology that will bring greater accessibility and affordability to health care (Eysenbach, 2019).On-demand telemedicine has other forms such as primary care, behavioral health care, and urgent care. This includes the virtual urgent care clinic (VCC) which is widely adopted for the on-demand service that received peer to peer reviews.
VCC became a catalyst form of disruptive technology that can be utilized in examining on-demand service launch and business model deployment. It provides primary and urgent care services for those who do not need immediate medical needs or those who have medical conditions that can be managed effectively by telemedicine, such as chronic bronchitis, conjunctivitis, rashes, and upper respiratory tract infections. Figure 1 displays where VCC can be used or positioned in telemedicine (Eysenbach, 2019):

Note: many thanks to Don Metzler for this information.
The Indri query language, based on the InQuery query language, was designed to be robust. It can handle both simple keyword queries and extremely complex queries. Such a query language sets Indri apart from many other available search engines. It allows complex phrase matching, synonyms, weighted expressions, Boolean filtering, numeric (and dated) fields, and the extensive use of document structure (fields), among others.
Although Indri handles unstructured documents, many of the query language features make use of structured (tagged)
documents. Consider the following document:
  <title>Department Descriptions</title>   The following list describes ...
Agriculture
 ...
Chemistry
 ...
Computer Science
 ...
Electrical Engineering
 ...
For each tag type T within a document (i.e. title, body, h1, etc), we define the context of T to be all of the text and tags that appear within tags of type T. In the example above, all of the text and tags appearing between  and  tags defines the body context. A single context is generated for each unique tag name. Therefore, a context defines a subdocument. Note that because of nested tags certain word occurrences may appear in many contexts. It is also the case that there may be nested contexts. For example, within the  context there is a nested
 context made up of all of the text and tags that appear within the body context and within
 and
 tags. Here are the tags for the title, h1, and body contexts:
title context:
<title>Department Descriptions</title>
h1 context:

Agriculture

Chemistry
 ...
Computer Science
 ...
Electrical Engineering
 ...
body context:
 The following list describes ...
Agriculture
 ...
Chemistry
 ...
Computer Science
 ...
Electrical Engineering
 ...
Finally, each context is made up of one or more extents. An extent is a sequence of text that appear within a single begin/end tag pair of the same type as the context. For the example above, in the
 context, there are extents "
agriculture
", "
chemistry
", etc. Both the title and body contexts contain only a single extent because there is only a single pair of <title> ... </title> and  ...  tags, respectively. The number of extents for a given tag type T is determined by the number of sequences of the form: <T> text </T> that occur within the document.

Terms are the basic building blocks of Indri queries. Terms come in the form of single term, ordered and unordered phrases, synonyms, among others. In addition, there are a number of options that allow you to specify if a term should appear within a certain field, or if it should be scored within a given context.
Examples:
Examples:
The first three expressions are equivalent. They each treat all of the expressions listed as synonyms. The #wsyn operator treats the terms as synonyms, but allows weights to be assigned to each term.
Examples:
Examples:
Examples:
Belief operators allow you to combine beliefs (scores) about terms, phrases, etc. There are both unweighted and weighted belief operators. With the weighted operators, you can assign varying weights to certain expressions. This allows you to control how much of an impact each expression within your query has on the final score.
Examples:
NOTE: If you are unsure which belief operator to use, it always "safest" to default to using the #combine or #weight operator. These operators are often the best choice for combining evidence. NEVER use #wsum or #wand unless you really know what you're doing!
Example:
Filter operators allow you to score only a subset of an entire collection by filtering out those documents that actually get scored.
Examples:
Numeric and date field operators provide a number of facilities for matching different criteria. These operators are very useful when used in combination with the filter operators.
Acceptable date formats:
Examples:
NOTE: The general numeric operators only work on indexed numeric fields, whereas the date operators are only applicable to a specially indexed numeric field named "date". See the indexing documentation for more on numeric fields.
Document priors allow you impose a "prior probability" over the documents in a collection.
Example:
Here we list suggested uses of the language for several common information retrieval tasks.
Ad hoc retrieval is the standard information retrieval task of finding documents that are topically relevant to a given information need (query). One common probabilistic approach to ad hoc retrieval is the query likelihood retrieval paradigm from language modeling. It is very simple to construct an Indri query that ranks documents the same as query likelihood. For the query, "literacy rates africa", we construct the following Indri query:
#combine( literacy rates africa )
Both pseudo-relevance feedback and query expansion methods typically begin with some intial query, do some processing, and then return a list of expansion terms. The original query is then augmented with the expansion terms and rerun. Given the original query "hubble telescope repairs" and the expansion terms "universe", "system", "mission", "search", "galaxies" we can then construct the following Indri query:
#weight( 0.75 #combine ( hubble telescope achievements ) 0.25 #combine ( universe system mission search galaxies ) )
Named page finding and homepage finding are examples of known-item search. That is, the user knows some page exists, and is attempting to find it. One popular approach to known-item search is to use a mixture of context language models. This can easily be expressed in the Indri query language. For example, for the query "bbc news", the following query would be constructed:
#combine( #wsum( 5.0 bbc.(title) 3.0 bbc.(anchor) 1.0 bbc ) #wsum( 5.0 news.(title) 3.0 news.(anchor) 1.0 news ) )

ctypes 0.11.3 released
Combinators for binding to C libraries without writing any C.
ctypes is a library for binding to C libraries using pure OCaml. The primary aim is to make writing C extensions as straightforward as possible.
The core of ctypes is a set of combinators for describing the structure of C types – numeric types, arrays, pointers, structs, unions and functions. You can use these combinators to describe the types of the functions that you want to call, then bind directly to those functions – all without writing or generating any C!
To install the optional ctypes.foreign
interface (which uses libffi
to
provide dynamic access to foreign libraries), you will need to also install
the ctypes-foreign
optional dependency:
opam install ctypes ctypes-foreign
This will make the ctypes.foreign
ocamlfind subpackage available.


Core52 provides completely automatic loading of Models and Libraries provided that the file name matches the class name. Note that file names are case sensitive on UNIX-type operating systems.
When a new class is referenced, Core52′s autoloader looks for a matching file in the following directories, in order:
app/models
app/objects
core/objects
Note that this allows for core objects to be overridden (versus extended) by simply putting the replacement in the app/objects
directory.
Core52′s autoloader is built around the PHP spl_autoload_register()
function, thereby allowing multiple cascading autoloaders to be registered. Thus, if the Core52 autoloader fails and multiple loaders are registered on the autoload stack, then Core52 will return FALSE
to allow the next loader to take over.
To disable, simply call:
AutoClassLoader::Unregister();
To re-enable:
AutoClassLoader::Register();
If a class cannot be loaded, then an AutoClassLoaderException
will be thrown. To disable this behavior, call:
AutoClassLoader::ThrowExceptions(FALSE);
To enable:
AutoClassLoader::ThrowExceptions(TRUE);

I have always been conservative when it comes to saving electricity in my household not because I want to but because 1 kWh costs me R1.87, hence I had to think of a better solution rather than running my server 24 hours per day with an average load wattage of 532W, if one does the maths it costs me roughly R23.87 per day when always on.
So not cool, hence why I had to think of a better way to conserve energy:- WakeOnLan
In Ubuntu 16.04, make changes:
# Install ethtgool (Dependency)
[code]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get install -y ethtool
[/code]
# To avoid getting WOL disabled by TLP power management make changes to:-
[code]
sudo nano /etc/default/tlp
[/code]
WOL_DISABLE=N
# To prevent powering off the network card during shutdown make changes to:-
[code]
sudo nano /etc/default/halt
[/code]
NETDOWN=no
# Enable Wake on LAN when static network configuration is used.
[code]
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces</code>
[/code]
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
[code]
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address <IP_ADDRESS>
netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS>
up ethtool -s eth0 wol g
[/code]
Enable wake on lan in BIOS, enter the BIOS setup and look for something called "Wake up on PCI event", "Wake up on LAN" or similar. Change it so that it is enabled. Save your settings and reboot.
From there you should be good to go.


The oil field uses several different types of artificial lift mechanisms to increase the production of a well. The ESP is a common form of artificial lift used throughtout the world. ESPs have a motor which is controlled from the surface that runs a multistage centrifugal pump in the vertical section of a well. ESPs make up approximately 25% of all artificial lift used in oil wells. When an ESP fails prooduction comes to a halt costing companies millions of dollars. If failues could be predicted with enough notice then the ESP can be pulled during scheduled maintenance. This reduces the loss of production and doesn't require an extra work over rig to fix problems.
Our data analysis incorporates various sensor data from 470 ESPs. The raw data is exported from a data historian (OSIsoft PI) where it is kept in irregular time samples to optimize storage. We created a Python interface using Pandas, and HDF5 format to interact, resample/regularize, sort, and index it for fast and flexible access. The data is kept on an AWS data drive and can be accessed from our interactive analysis tools.
ESP time-series is characterized by bursting transient behavior, anomalies and outliers, throughout both faulting and regular operation. Augr.ai feature engineering creates robust statistics for mapping volatile non-stationary esp-timeseries onto statistically well-behaved features without censoring. Faulting behavior is identified using pattern recognition, with SigOpt model optimization API training free parameters.
Augur.ai provides a single platform for data storage and analysis. An integrated cloud solution provides access to data, a Python enviroment for exploring data and writing custom feature engineering and machine learning models. GPU servers provide the compute power needed for the largest models. Data visualization is provided by a dashboard connected to the customers data.


12 D. Predicates and Conditional Evaluation Most reporters report either a number, like , or a text string, like . A predicate is a special kind of reporter that always reports true or false. Predicates have a hexagonal shape: The special shape is a reminder that predicates don’t generally make sense in an input slot of blocks that are expecting a number or text.  Instead, you normally use predicates in special hexagonal input slots like this one: The C-shaped if block runs its input script if (and only if) the expression in its hexagonal input reports true. A really useful block in animations runs its input script repeatedly until a predicate is satisﬁed: If, while working on a project, you want to omit temporarily some commands in a script, but you don’t want to forget where they belong, you can say Sometimes you want to take the same action whether some condition is true or false, but with a different input value. For this purpose you can use the reporter if block: The technical term for a true or false value is a “Boolean” value; it has a capital B because it’s named after a person, George Boole, who developed the mathematical theory of Boolean values. Don’t get confused; a hexagonal block is a predicate, but the value it reports is a Boolean. Another quibble about vocabulary: Many programming languages reserve the name “procedure” for Commands (that carry out an action) and use the name “function” for Reporters and Predicates. In this manual, a procedure is any computational capability, including those that report values and those that don’t. Commands, Reporters, and Predicates are all procedures. The words “a Procedure type” are shorthand for “Command type, Reporter type, or Predicate type.” If you want to put a constant Boolean value in a hexagonal slot instead of a predicate-based expression, hover the mouse over the block and click on the control that appears:

West Midlands' first female firefighter retiring after 30 years
The West Midlands' first ever female firefighter has announced her retirement after 30 years.
by Jamie BrassingtonJulie Cooper says she has enjoyed a "rewarding" career where she has progressed from a firefighter to a watch commander in Walsall.
She rose through the ranks at England's second largest fire service before becoming a mentor in the training department.
Despite being the only female on her training course, Ms Cooper said she was "unphased" by the prospect and relished the challenge ahead.
WATCH: First female firefighter on exciting 30-year career
She went on to have a highly successful career, working as a firefighter for eight years and then being promoted to watch commander.
She was formerly based at Bloxwich before working out of Walsall Fire Station at the centre's training base.
Now she is looking forward to her retirement in a new "exciting chapter" of her life.
She said: "On the start of the training course, there was 41 of us actually that turned up.
"Me, myself, being the only female, that didn't phase me. I was quite determined for the challenge.
"It was 13 weeks that we actually did. It was challenging, but it also made me feel proud achieving all what was required to actually get there.
"I did seven to eight years as a firefighter, learning skills, the knowledge, operational skills.
"Moving on to as a leading firefighter, I probably did that for about two, three years. Again, building the knowledge and skills at that sort of rank.
"And then moving onto sub-officer, which it was back then, which is Watch Commander A.
"And then I have had a great opportunity to then go into the training department. I did the recruit training back at the academy.
"I really enjoyed doing the trainee training at the academy. It is so rewarding, you can pass on the skills, the experience, the knowledge that you gain over those years.
"And to see them at the end, at their passing out, it is a fantastic and rewarding experience. I actually went discipline specific, which was the trauma department, and that is where I still am now.
"This role within the service is so varied. It has so many opportunities for you to challenge yourself.
"It is not just about riding the fire engine as a firefighter. And that keeps you driving within your career as a firefighter. It is a career, it is not just a job.
"So can I be a firefighter and have a family? Yes you can. Thirty years down the line, I have got two teenage sons. I have done it, and it has worked okay.
"Over thirty years I have done now and retiring, it is scary, it is exciting and new chapter in the life. It is quite surreal. I'm proud of what I have done, excited about the next chapter and got some fantastic memories."
