2020 was the year the world was turned on its head and recent studies suggest work-related stress has skyrocketed. Emily Pearson considers how home working, the UK government's furlough scheme and being on the front line have all had an impact and provides advice on how you can support your workforce.
The UK's introduction of the furlough scheme was hailed as a key policy initiative. It has indeed provided respite from the potential economic damage for millions of workers and tens of thousands of organisations. But what of those workers who aren't furloughed who now have more work to do, the impacts of home working, or having to work in a workplace where there is increased risk for key workers?
We've seen some unique impacts to certain industries such as healthcare, where workers are experiencing vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue due to some unique triggers dealing with the vulnerable and bereaved.
How are these new pressures going to be addressed in the medium- to long-term? A simple format solution broken down into evaluation, collaboration and ownership (ECO), alongside stress risk assessments/audits and tailored support programmes for employees can all be effective.
The idea of the ECO model is to relate it to what the true meaning of an eco-system means to us as humans, identifying the actual impact of the interactions between human beings and our environment. In the same way as we strive to create a healthy eco-system for the environment by taking into account all negative factors such as long term damage to the environment building in pollution to the overall equation; we also should do the same with work place culture and how we interact as humans together for the benefit of all.
In essence, work-related stress is managed using the ECO model in a three-stage process:
Evaluation should be done with people, not to people. A mental health self-evaluation tool can provide an instant temperature check of where an individual or groups' state of mental health sits. Self-evaluation promotes early intervention and leads us into collaboration. Evaluations can also be done using the Health and Safety Executive's Stress Management Standards questionnaire tool, collated to provide robust data to identify what workplace triggers are causing excessive pressure and where the improvements can be made to mitigate those risks.
Effective evaluation leads to action requiring collaboration between individuals, their managers and the wider team and organisation to work together to implement the solutions or interventions. Create a support plan for individuals to collaborate with their managers on what action can be taken. These may include reasonable adjustments, but also a plan for the individual to take action to look after their own mental health. Your stress audit using the Management Standards Tool should be followed up with an action plan. Work-related stress and positive mental health at work is everyone's responsibility; if ownership is not agreed and taken on by all involved, the best laid plans can still fall down.
Own it
The problems identified in the workplace will never be solved without ownership. The ownership of our own mental health and recovery, ownership of the actions we can take for the wider good, ownership of our responsibilities as manager, senior leader or employer. One does not work without the other. In fact, ownership taken by the few foments unrest, distrust, lack of productivity, and generally an unhappy workforce. This can become self-perpetuating, creating further workplace discord and stress – something witnessed unsurprisingly time and again in the real world.
Promoting the foundational elements of evaluation, collaboration and ownership allows everyone, from top to bottom inside an organisation, to develop the skills and knowledge they need to look after their own mental health. This is essential in 2020, when now more than ever, we need to work together to challenge the rising tide of poor mental health in the workplace, and our communities, as we all come to grips with the unprecedented global event that is COVID-19.

In response to COVID-19, many companies have been allowing their employees to work from home. Radio broadcasts are coming from the living rooms of the broadcasters. Teams are meeting through Zoom or other video meeting platforms. Most employees who are now faced with the challenge of completing their work from home have never faced this kind of situation before. In an office, there are few distractions. Your coworkers are right next to you and your supervisor is usually easily accessible for guidance. When working from home, you have to find ways to stay productive and make the most of your situation.
Pick a Space
If you're one of the many faced with taking your work home, you need to pick a space to work. You may be tempted to compile your analytics or draft documents on your couch while watching Netflix, but don't. Pick a spot in your house that you can set up like an office space. The reason we haven't always been working from home is because our houses are full of distractions. If you're going to maintain productivity, you need to set up a space in your home that allows you to work as distraction-free as possible.
Manage your time
Plan your daily schedule, and keep your team updated on it. Decide when you will work and when you will be off the clock. You need to keep boundaries between your work and home lives, just as if you were driving to your office everyday. Be reasonable when planning your schedule. No matter how much you plan, there will always be something that comes up, especially if you have children. Allow a degree of flexibility in your schedule to account for the unplanned.
Take breaks
Don't expect to work for 8 straight hours or to make it through the day without having to stop a couple of times. The Pomodoro Technique is a highly recommended technique designed to boost productivity. To use the Pomodoro, you set a timer for 25 minutes. In the 25-minute span, get as much work done on a certain task as you can. When your timer goes off, you take a short 5-10 minute break. Have a cup of coffee, walk outside, meditate, or anything else to clear your mind and give your brain a break. After four 25-minute sets, you take a longer break – 15-20 minutes. Plan your tasks and cut out distractions in order to be your most productive self.
Don't get stuck on 9 to 5
You've committed a number of hours every day or week, but that doesn't mean they have to be during a certain time. Work early morning while your children or spouse are still asleep. Take advantage of naps for young children and bedtimes for those in your house. You're not required to get all of your work done while everyone in your house is awake. Be smart and take advantage of quiet times in your house.
Working from home is a big change for a lot of people, so make sure you are prepared and have a plan in place. Try not to be too hard on yourself if it takes some time for you to get adjusted to your new normal.

It is easy to be overwhelmed by all of the insurance options that are out there. It is very important to choose a health insurance policy that will help prevent you from suffering from financial ruin if you need medical care. Here are some tips and insights that will better educate you about medical insurance and why you need it.
Think about your family's health needs, including your own, when deciding which employer-sponsored health insurance plan to sign up for. If you are not dealing with any health issues, you may be tempted to buy insurance that has a cheaper premium. While it is cheaper off the bat, this may be a risk if problems develop.
Your first step in acquiring a new health insurance package should be crunching the numbers and coming up with a rough estimate of the total costs involved. It is important for you to take the time to understand exactly what your co-pays, premiums and deductibles are when you have health insurance.
It is important to review your health insurance policy each year during open enrollment. You might find that old choices in your health insurance plan just do not make sense anymore for your current situation. Open enrollment is also the time to make changes to dental and vision insurance coverage if your employer offers that.
Vision insurance can be very helpful if you or anyone in your family has vision problems. The insurance will cover a percentage of your check-ups and your glasses or contact purchases. This kind of coverage is not mandatory, and those that purchase it, but do not need it, may wind up spending more money than those who don't get it.
Did you know that your health insurance can help you pay less on your taxes? Many people do not realize that the premiums you pay for health insurance are tax deductible. You can also include all money paid for prescriptions, your deductible, doctor visits, co-pays and any other non-covered medical expense. Be sure to check on the guidelines because state and federal taxes are different.
Don't give more information than necessary when you are being interviewed by a health insurance provider. Answer only questions which are directly asked. Any extraneous information that you provide can be used to increase your premiums or deny coverage.
Check your health insurance plan to learn about what prescriptions are going to be covered under it. Reread the list of which drugs are covered every time you re-enroll in your health insurance plan. It's far better to know in advance than to be embarrassed at the drug store by your sudden inability to pay for your prescriptions.
Check to see if your doctors accept the insurance that you're thinking about purchasing. You can easily check to see if your doctor is listed by checking the insurance provider's website.
If you plan to have a baby soon, you should find a healthcare plan that will cover all expenses relating to your pregnancy, labor and delivery. You need to know this as some insurance plans do not cover all aspects of the pregnancy and labor.
Group plans are ultimately cheaper over time, and this is the reason why insurance rates are cheaper with an employer than for those who provide their own insurance. In order to take advantage of that fact, try to align yourself with a trade or affinity group that provides membership discounts.
It's important that you review your medical bills every time you receive one. Even if you have a good health plan, you might get charged for items that will surprise you, such as prescription medication. Many doctors just write out these prescriptions for brand-name meds without mentioning generics. Make sure to compare prices of medications at different pharmacies. Generic medications are often less expensive, but different pharmacies may charge different amounts.
Do you need health insurance? Having the right health insurance will ensure that you or your loved ones will receive the care that they need regardless of what situation arises. Use this article's information to help you protect your family and yourself.

MAT 475: Brownian Motion and the Heat Equation
Fangfei Lin:
Hi, my name is Fangfei. My project is 'Brownina Motion and the Heat Equation'.
Brownian motion is a diffusion process. PDEs of diffusion type(such as heat question) are useful tools of studying the diffusion process. Conversely, diffusion processes give insight into solutions of diffusion type PDE. The connection between the heat equation and brownian motion is remarkable. In my project, I will demonstrate the relationships between brownian motion and the heat equation and also introduce the heat equation from probabilistic view.
There is one sample presentation from last year called 'Random walk and PDE'. The random walk in continuous time and space becomes brownian motion. If you are interested in this material, you may read that presentation first.
Hope you will enjoy it! :)

Adding NEW pixels to the upgraded window frames this year has required me to update the firmware on some of the lighting hardware. In order to "add" some cool new effects to the mega wreath and window frames, I had to change the hard-code programming with a new firmware version to allow for an expanded usage. Usually my videos show some cool project or new "prop" I'll be using for the coming season. This video is not an example. I have begun to build a library filled with the geeky and complex side of the lighting hobby.
One of my passions is to share my knowledge and experiences with those who are beginning to learn how to use DMX and RGB based lighting. People learn things in many ways. I'm sure we can all agree with that. One of the ways I learn best is to watch videos. To date, I have not found a video that takes you through this process. I truly enjoy recording and sharing my experiences because there are so few videos on how to use the DIY E1.31 Bridge. This specific video took 2 days of recording and rendering to become a helpful and complete guide. This video may not be much "fun" to watch, but has earned a space in my growing "how-to" library. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

If there is one thing that China's leaders like, it's a "win-win" deal. As they prepare to go into trade talks with the US early next month, there's one American product that truly falls into that category.
China's hog prices have gone up 130% since January this year, according to Zhue, a Chinese industry website that tracks the country's hog prices based on data collected from hog farmers and vendors. The surge in prices is due to an outbreak of African Swine Fever, a disease lethal to pigs but harmless for humans, that began in August last year. Farms have had to slaughter tens of millions of pigs to prevent the epidemic, leading China's herd count to shrink by nearly one-third as of July, according to Reuters.
In August alone, the price of China's most consumed meat went up nearly 50% in price in August. And prices are only predicted to go up further before the end of the year.
Pork is not only a food staple, but also a symbol of prosperity in China—which is currently marking the year of the pig, according to the Chinese zodiac. Already, there have been laments on Chinese social media platforms like Douyin about the increased pork prices, adding to the other economic pressures the ruling Communist Party faces—a steady supply of affordable pork is essential to maintain social stability.
While bad news for China's consumers, the surging price of hogs could bode well for US hog farmers, who had been hoping ahead of the 2016 election to increase sales to China, even discussing adjusting the use of a feed additive banned in China to improve market share. But those hopes were dashed after Donald Trump's took office. US pork, originally under 12% tariffs, has seen duties go to a total of 72% as Beijing imposed retaliatory measures in response to successive US tariffs from last July on Chinese goods. The latest increase was a bump of 10% at the start of this month.
China was the third largest export market for US pork in 2018, following Japan and Mexico. However, the volume of US pork exports in metric tons to China (including Hong Kong) last year saw a nearly 30% drop compared with 2017. The value of pork exports also declined to $852 million that year, from $1.1 billion in 2017, prior to the new Chinese tariffs, according to data from the US Meat Export Federation.
China has been grappling with how to contain the price increases, including importing more pork from countries like Brazil and Denmark, as well as tapping its emergency pork reserves. But the measures will not be enough, according to analysts. Lei Yi, analyst at China Merchants Securities, told Hong Kong-based newspaper the South China Morning Post that China has a "supply gap of over 10 million [metric tons]" of pork, while the country's entire frozen pork reserves only amount to around 990,000 metric tons.
After the US said it would delay a tariff increase from Oct. 1 by two weeks because of China's national celebrations, Beijing announced on Friday (Sept. 13) it will exempt some US agricultural goods (link in Chinese), including pork and soybeans, from additional tariffs. It hasn't clarified whether goods will be exempted from the 10% tariffs imposed the month or see a deeper rollback—with a state-run news announcement on the exemption suggesting the exact amount could be a bargaining chip in upcoming talks.
"China has a huge market, and there is great potential for high quality US agricultural goods," said Xinhua when it reported the news, citing official sources. "China hopes the United States will be true to its word, make progress on its commitments and create favorable conditions for bilateral agricultural cooperation."
Rolling back these tariffs to where they were before the trade war would be welcomed as a concession to the US—one midwestern US economist estimates that every 1% increase in Chinese consumption of US pork is equal to 5% of US production—but would be just as much to China's favor.
US pork exports to mainland China have nearly doubled in the first seven months of this year, compared with the same period last year. Exports for July topped 44,000 tons (40,000 metric tons), compared with under 8,000 last July. But China's tariffs are making these imports more expensive than they need to be—at a time when it should be doing everything it can to make pork cheaper.

Need Cables for Machinery in a Cold Environment? Here's What You Should Consider First
Cables have to withstand a variety of external conditions today, including harsh weather conditions. Therefore, it's important to know what factors to consider when selecting cables for cold applications. Read on to discover what you should pay special attention to before installation.
Temperature Resistance
Cables fit for use in extreme temperature ranges are referred to as temperature-resistant cables. This means that the cables can be used in these temperature ranges without enormous loss of service life.
Temperature-resistant cables can also be categorized as heat-resistant or cold-resistant. Heat-resistant cables are often used in metallurgy, steel or rolling technology. Cold-resistant cables, on the other hand, are often used in refrigeration and air-conditioning applications or outdoor applications where negative temperatures are to be expected.
Application Example for Cold-Resistant Cables
An example of a cold application in the food industry is a storage and retrieval unit inside a deep-freeze warehouse. This application demands a lot from the cables—even at normal temperatures due to long travel distances or small bend radii.
This is comparable to a top athlete. A long-distance runner whose competition conditions are usually around 68°F will achieve worse results in snow flurries and icy temperatures than a Nordic cross-country skier who achieves his best performance in negative temperatures. This is also the case with cables in extreme temperature ranges. They're engineered to adapt to the temperatures, just as cross-country skiers adapt to low temperatures in snow and ice.
The Right Jacket Material
Choosing the right jacket material is crucial to ensure the full performance of a cable at low temperatures. We at igus® can always decide which cable is most suitable for a customer's application due to the variety of cables we offer. Our cables consist of four different jacket materials (PVC, iguPUR, PUR and TPE) for a wide range of mechanical or chemical influences. The jacket material also plays a very important role in terms of resistance to cold. Our PVC cables, for example, are only suitable for use in temperatures up to 41°F. However, our PUR cables are resistant to temperatures as low as -13°F, and our TPE cables can withstand temperatures as low as -40°F.
Jacket Damage
The error pattern of jacket damage is often found in deep-freeze applications. The jacket becomes hard and breaks up so the stranding or shield can be seen. The reason why jacket damage occurs in these applications is often due to selecting the wrong jacket material. As soon as jacket damage occurs, the cable must be replaced immediately, as the mechanical protection around the cores is now missing.
The chainflex® Catalog
For each cable inside our chainflex® catalog, you will receive three different temperature specifications. These refer to the installation type of the cable. For the e-chain® installation type, we describe a real application in an e-chain® according to igus® test criteria because we have established that the following standard tests do not reflect the reality in the application. Here the test takes place at -40°F inside our climate chamber. For the flexible application, the data is based on a test according to DIN EN 60911-504. The cable is cooled down to test temperature. After the cable has been subjected to the test temperature for more than 16 hours, it is wrapped around a mandrel. After the removal, a pure visual inspection is carried out. The specifications for permanently installed cables refer to a cold impact test. A test weight is dropped onto the tempered cable. If the jacket is undamaged, this test is considered passed.
You will also find an overview from which you can see how high the guaranteed service life is in relation to the installed bend radius and the permanent temperature.
Laboratory Testing & a Guaranteed Service Life
Due to the long-term tests conducted in our 41,000ft² test lab, our customers can always be sure that their igus® cables will last. Only real application tests enable us to provide a unique 36-month guarantee on all chainflex® cables. This goes far beyond the legally-required guarantee of 12 months. In order to maintain this, even in extreme temperature ranges, we test the cold resistance of our cables in a climate chamber. Here our cables are tested under real application parameters in an energy chain. We can perform tests at temperatures as low as -40°F.
Do you need cables for your cold application? Visit our webpage or contact our chainflex® Product Manager.

Another montreal/quebec staple is poutine, which you're supposed to pronounce as poot-in and not poo-teen. There are so many places that sell poutine and you can get some wild toppings. I wanted the basic though – fries, cheese and gravy.
I know it doesn't sound like much but you can easily mess up poutine. You need high quality of those 3 things to get a good result. If the fries aren't crispy enough, they won't hold up to the gravy. If the gravy is too salty or the texture is off (too thick or thin) it won't coat the fries properly. And if the cheese (curds) aren't fresh, you won't get that nice squeak when you bite into them.
I am pleased to say that my poutine (from a restaurant called Frite Alors) did not have any of those problems. It was so delicious and I love quebec cheese curds.
Also, the size I got was a regular which was definitely a lot of food. All the fries and gravy are quite heavy so you don't need to eat too much poutine to be satisfied.

Red Snow
Takbeer Salati
Srinagar, the small city had always mourned in winters. When the world was still enjoying the sun, people in this city continued to be snow covered in woolen fuchsia coats, fur mufflers, and gloves of warmly knit designs. A lifestyle that was yet to be explored by a lot of different tourists and many a times by its own people. It was magical, conceived from white snow, and political conspiracies.
Elif wondered at her favorite window in her house in South Kashmir watching the icicles hanging from the rooftop. She thought of her childhood, when her mother would caress her to sleep, saving young Elif from chilblains.
Even last winter, she had made a trip in her own backyard. As soon as she stepped out, she would enter igloos, caves, Kangris, and other household things made out of snow. Everything was still due to the harsh and severe snow. Elif recollected how she would weave stories in her backyard, the place reverberating with loud laughter, enveloping the whole house. Born in a Muslim family, educated in a Catholic Convent school, she knew the importance of snow and the festival that came with it.
Elif often thought of her time in snow-land as dystopia. Srinagar was still harboring wars, which resulted in killings, murders, and deaths. Yet oddly, winters also lagged behind the fast world that was always in a competition of its own. Rapt in her own time and place, Elif wandered in her snow-land, building palaces of escape.
At present, Elif was spending most of her time reading and watching it snow. The icicles had become an extension of her imaginative world which had been carefully curated by political imbalances of the real world.
It was her neighbor who had taught her about the deep forest. On a winter morning like this one, so bleak and morose, Elif wore a woolen phiran, making her way out of the over-populated city. Yet, Elif till date had rejoiced of the day when she rolled out into small circles, leaping and bounding her way in the wild to encounter the witch known famously as Rantas.
The village was in an uproar! The hamlet had woken with new whims and whisperings. Elif had been missing. The quiet girl, the favorite of everyone was nowhere. Snow had led everyone to hide inside wooden houses burning charcoal for warmth. It was not new to go missing in this ghost town but definitely a scandal like this earmarked every other.
Where was Elif? Gone with a friend, some whispered. It quite began to look like wintry bazaars filled with brewing gossip and kehwa cups which relieved everyone from anxiety. Even the winds of the city blew with curiosity: Elif and a neighbor boy were missing.
Scandal reentered the newspapers. Everywhere, her absence was news. On trees, near ponds, humming loud voices of misery. It was curfew and phones were not in use, and people had nothing to say to each other, but the papers still buzzed.
Meanwhile, Elif had a new friend. In the deep forest, she was busy in conversations with a woman-like figure famously known to be non-human. Rantas had been living in the woods for a long time. She would only appear in snow. Despite her wildness which was non-confrontational to the elders of the city, she tried to be at peace with Elif. Rantas was omnipresent to the village in her own way. No one would dare talk about her, and none could challenge her ability of recreating terror. So naturally as snow reached them, they felt the shivers, as close to skin as their sweat. The haunted witch, invisible woman with dread-like hair, could easily be the attraction of such gatherings in snow-land.
That fateful day, when Elif went into the woods, she had met a sulking Rantas. Despite many warnings given to her in her childhood, Elif followed the witch into the dark. Rantas would tell Elif stories of her friends as afraid as the little girl was. In the village however, both of them were being hailed on loudspeakers, radios, and newspaper stories. Elif's worried parents kept counting days and chanting with beads.
There was a crisis brewing in the village. Some believed the gossip. While the women said 'There's nothing like Rantas', others either disagreed or kept silent. Hence, the village slept in the racy gossip about Elif. Snow froze even more but the panic in the village did not settle. Added to rumors about Rantas, speculations ranged from elopement and kidnapping. All options kept the village quite busy.
It had been a month since Elif's disappearance. An anxious thought was weighing on everybody's mind. The mayor had seen her with a boy of her age and that was settled for a reason. There were many Kangris kept inside the homes together in one corner out of the sight of witches like Rantas. Elif had however befriended Rantas. Whenever she would feel terror, she was caressed with love and care by Rantas. Over the months, Elif had grown to know Rantas from echoes in the silence of the forest.
Elif kept thinking about the years her city was in misery. The killings, disappearances, loot and horror would engulf evenings while a gloomy sky roared. It had been a difficult task to convince her parents that they should leave the city. Elif had failed and become estranged from her own family.
She had to take that first step. She couldn't keep on watching icicles melt. The icicle to her was magic. Through its transparency, she looked at snow-land and entered where she was now: deep forest. She also saw massive trees of pine howling in the night. While the village remained in silence for a long time after the death of a young man, it was Elif planning her escape through to the other side of the icicle.
She had done it. She was in the deep forest. She was unaware of the real world which was settled on her death now. She tamed the wilderness. She knew azaadi would never come in snow and she knew she would waste her youth yearning for it. Red snow reminded her of her brother's killing, aunt's rape, and sister's murder.
Completely oblivious about her image ruined in the village, she tamed herself into a wild beast. She became Rantas. Ate raw flesh, grew dreadlocks, long nails, hid under snow and howled. She became invisible to her own self.
It was finally time for festivities and celebrations. The village was decorated and in celebration. Many had forgotten Elif and she had grown from news to a popular myth. In the forest, Elif was on a journey. She kept moving when she heard the village singing. She asked every witch about her home and of the celebration in her home. She was answered in the negative. Rantas completely denied the information. Elif kept missing her home that winter, so, she wrote to her mother on red snow with blood of her own:
We are all Rantas. Tamed under the violence of the state My brother, aunt, sister not coming back Dead winter, bleak, mist of my memories Fade as I join to become Rantas of my miseries. I am the beast and power, Here I am in Azaadi of Rantas!

OTTAWA—The founder of the online news site The Rebel admits its content and management need more oversight in the wake of a string of controversies.
One reporter was fired, another founder quit and two other contributors resigned last week after the outlet came under intense criticism for its coverage of deadly riots in Virginia.
Ezra Levant is now admitting things need to change, saying he's been a flawed leader who has made mistakes.
He says he's going to bring in better oversight of both the business and editorial side of the operation and hire new journalists.
He's also pledging greater transparency for the outlet's finances, after two other former contributors levied a string of allegations over where The Rebel's largely crowdsourced budget is actually going.
Levant detailed the proposed changes in a statement late Tuesday, following a memo last week where he sought to distance The Rebel from allegations it's aligned with the so-called "alt-right."

1. Introduction
Welcome to the Quick user's guide to Anatella. Anatella is part of the "TIMi Suitetm" that is an integrated set of tools designed to solve Advanced Analytics, Big Data and Business Intelligence problems. The acronym "TIMi" stands for "The Intelligent Mining Machine (TIMi)".
Anatella is a data manipulation tool, also known as "ETL tool" ("ETL" is the acronym of "Extract, Transform & Load") that is designed for analytical and "predictive datamining" tasks. The name "Anatella" is the contraction of "Analytical ETL": indeed Anatella is the first ETL tool of its kind: it's the only ETL tool designed specifically for Analytical Tasks on large data volume. Anatella offers some features that are unique and extremely valuable in this field (e.g. meta-data-free data transformations, ability to handle tables with more than 50000 columns, etc.).
Before any data mining activity, before building any predictive model, the first task to accomplish by the data miner is to place all the available data into the proper format (when using TIMi or Stardust, it usually means obtaining one single very large dataset). Once you have a dataset, you can analyze it with TIMi and/or StarDust.
Anatella offers you the following capabilities:
•Anatella is 100% Unicode compliant and will accept any character set (Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese, etc.) without losing any information.
•Classical ETL features :
•Join tables
•Columns & Rows filtering out of tables,
•Format conversions (CSV, SQL ,..),
•Automatic Scoring (using the TIMi predictive models)
•Automatic segmentation (using the StarDust segmentation models)
•Derivation of new columns for predictive modeling:
•Automatic generation of hundreds of thousands of new, "derivate" columns ;
•a full scripting language based on JavaScript (standard ECMA-262) that allows you to express the most complex transformations, validations, aggregations, derivations. The small Anatella-specific extensions to the "standard" JavaScript language are easy to use. Furthermore, thanks to these extensions, the JavaScript code becomes similar (but more versatile) to a "SAS datastep", so that you can even leverage your SAS skills.
•Complete Meta-Data extraction & management.
•Inside Anatella, most of the data transformation operators are "meta-data free". It means that it is not necessary to define "metas-datas" to use 99% of the various transformations available in Anatella.
In this regard, Anatella is very much like MS-Excel: Inside Excel, you don't need to specify "by hand" the data-types of each of your columns or cells: Excel automatically find the right data-types, so that the equations inside your sheets are working without you spending time to define any meta-datas. The same principle applies with Anatella.
The "meta-data free" functionality of Anatella makes it completely different than all the other ETL's currently on the market. It also greatly simplifies the usage of Anatella: The difficulty in using Anatella is comparable to the difficulty of using Excel (it's only slightly more complex). This means that business-users without technical training are usually able to use Anatella without too much headaches.
The "meta-data free" functionality is also important because, in predictive datamining, it is very common to manipulate tables of tens of thousands of columns and it is impossible to specify "by hand" the "meta-datas" of all these columns (as required by nearly all other ETL software).
•Anatella features two highly-optimized data file formats that have the extension ".gel_Anatella" (row-based file format) and ".cgel_anatella" (column-based file format). These two file formats are primarily optimized for speed.
One ".gel_anatella" file (or one ".cgel_anatella" file) contains one data table (and all its meta-data).
Usually you can read ".gel_anatella" file at a throughput of 70 MB/sec (on common hardware). The data inside a simple ".gel_anatella" file is compressed by a factor around 4. This means that reading a table out of a ".gel_Anatella" file at a speed of 70 MB/sec (compressed) is actually equivalent to reading the same table at a speed of 280 MB/sec (uncompressed).
A very common situation in business-intelligence is to compute aggregates based on a subset of the columns available inside the data file. Aggregates are typically computed using only about 4 columns out of the many columns stored inside the data file. The columnar file-format ".cgel_anatella" allows you to just extract, out of the hard-drive, the few bytes that are composing the 4 columns required to compute the aggregation (and avoid reading&decompressing the bytes that belong to all the other columns). In practice, this means that, for most business-intelligence tasks, the "cgel_anatella" files are usually from five to hundred times faster than the simpler ".gel_anatella" files (at the cost of a slightly higher RAM memory consumption)(simply because you avoid reading the data/columns that you don't need to read).
These performances place Anatella ahead of most competitive offerings (as evidenced by its score on the TPC-H benchmark).
•Anatella can read in "native mode" compressed dataset files in text format (CSV). The supported compression formats are RAR (unique!), ZIP, GZ, Z, LZO.
This functionality allows to reduce the need for hard-drive space on your server.
Let's give an example: the open source "census-income" database stored in a .RAR compressed text file "weights" 4.04 MB. The same database in an un-compressed text file "weights" 96MB (let's say around 100MB). The same database in a classical SAS .sas7bdat dataset file "weights" around 250MB. The numbers given on this example are quite common and perfectly illustrates why an ETL should be able to process compressed data streams (even more so when dealing with "Big Data").
•Anatella reads natively SAS datasets file (.sas7bdat file), SPSS datasets files (.sav and .por files) and STATA (.dta files) datasets files.
•Anatella is heavily multi-threaded. This means that one data transformation running in Anatella can exploit all the CPU's inside your server to decrease the computation time. Classical ETL's are only able to run different data transformations on different CPU's but not one particular data transformation on many CPU's. The multi-threading capabilities of Anatella usually allow dividing the computing time of a data transformation graph by a factor between 4 to 10.
•Anatella offers you a direct access to all the "classical" relational databases via ODBC & OLEDB connectors (Oracle, SQLServer, MySQL, TerraData, ...)
•Anatella provides some crude OLAP reporting functionalities through the use of a "Microsoft Office Data Injection operator": This operator allows you to automatically inject "in batch" some data extracted from the Anatella-Graph into any chart or graphics contained in any Microsoft Office document. For example, you can obtain, in a few mouse clicks, each day, an automatic update of all the charts of your preferred PowerPoint presentation. Anatella can generate all types of MSOffice graphs: pie chart, 3D surface chart, bar chart, doughnut chart, bubble chart, etc...
The following capabilities are useful for development:
•The Anatella integrated-development-environment (IDE) that is used to create the new data-manipulation-scripts is extremely simple, intuitive & versatile. This environment is based on a unique hybrid technology:
•The simple transformations are described using "little boxes" (that is the most intuitive way to represent a data transformation and is a « de facto » standard for all the modern ETL tools).
•Complex transformations are programmed using a scripting language based on JavaScript (standard ECMA-262) which is simple, complete and extremely versatile. JavaScript is one of the most widely used programming language currently used in the industry (see appendix C, E and F). You can leverage your already-existing-JavaScript-skills to become an ETL expert instantaneously!
•Anatella is the only ETL tool available on the market to offer you a direct access to a complete & powerful "debugger" with an interface similar to the famous MS Visual Studio debugger (to "debug" the scripts written in JavaScript/ECMA-262): you can add "break points" to your code, add some "watch" on variables, see the "stack",... This feature adds a lot of flexibility and control to the ETL process.
One major advantage of Anatella over any other ETL is that Anatella is easily extensible: you can easily add new, customized data-transformation-operators. These new operators can be developed in:
•JavaScript, R or Python.
Anatella contains an automatic versioning tool that allows you to manage the different "JavaScript/R/python codes" that you have developed/downloaded. Anatella also offers you a direct access to a Javascript "debugger" to easily debug all your transformations.
•C/C++, for the most extreme speed & performances.
A Software Developement Kit (SDK) to create new Actions coded in C++ inside Anatella is available for TIMi partners and clients. The SDK also allows you to extend the Anatella Javascript engine by adding new Javascript functions.
This SDK was used to create all the actions inside Anatella: it offers the ultimate flexibility and speed.
Deploying your new C++ Actions is easy: You only need to copy your "AnatellaPlugin*.dll" file next to the "anatella.exe" file and Anatella will automatically load your extensions at each startup.
The following capabilities are useful for predictive modeling:
•Anatella provides advanced text-mining capabilities. Using the Anatella text-mining operators, you can:
•Automatically correct spelling mistakes (in your "address" fields, for example…)
•Translate text from one language to another
•Do "fuzzy matching": For example, to join 2 tables (based on multilingual sound encoding)
•Classify texts (in combination with TIM). These operators apply the classical "bag-of-word" technique to produce, starting from raw, unstructured text-data, many new columns and new variables directly exploitable inside TIM or Stardust, for predictive analytics. You can easily enrich your datasets with unstructured data to obtain the highest predictive modeling accuracy. The Anatella predictive-text-mining functionalities are unique.
•Graph mining or Social Network Analysis (SNA): This set of operators is mainly useful for telecommunication companies and banks, to create churn predictive models, cross-selling predictive models, up-selling predictive models, to estimate the share-of-wallet, etc. The objective of these operators is to extract out of the "phone- communication-network" valuable social-metrics. Typically, the "phone-communication-network" is defined in this way:
•each individual is a node.
•an "arc" of the network between the two individuals A and B represents the relation "A called B".
The social-metrics that could be extracted from the network are: the best connected individual, the individual who plays the most important role in any group, the groups of friends, the proximity to a churner, the number of churners in the "neighborhood" of an individual. Those metrics can improve the accuracy of your predictive models.
•Operational Research (OR) optimization toolbox: In particular, Anatella integrates:
•An efficient multi-threaded LP/IP solver that allows you to solve large scale optimization problem. The LP solver handles millions of constraints and several thousands of variables.
•An efficient solver for the GAP (General Assignment Problem). Typical GAP problems includes: Which product do I have to offer to which customer when I have the following business-constraints: The stock of each product is limited, Each selected customer receives a folder with N offers (no less and no more than N offers), The margin on each product is different,... The GAP solver included inside Anatella handles campaigns with several millions of customers and thousands of products.
The Anatella Optimization plugin is typically used for operation research (OR), sales & profit optimization, stock optimization, etc.
•Modeling Factory for large scale Predictive Datamining projects. Some of our customers need to re-build from scratch several thousands of predictive models every day or week. This can easy be accomplished using TIMi (as the analytical engine) and using Anatella to supervise & manage, in a 100% automated way, the whole procedure. The multithreading capabilities of Anatella allow you to exploit all the CPU's in your server to deliver a very high computing power.

Another Short Walk
We have been at Freycinet National Park in pretty good weather, it has hit 31 and no rain in sight. The decision was made to scale the track leading to the lookout over Wineglass Bay. This is a walk from the Short Walks book! It took us a little over 2 hours there and back. It was basically uphill from the start, lots of steps but a spectacular view from the top. Coming down was a bit demanding on the knees of both of us, but the whole return trip was well worth it. Most people walk to the lookout as we did, a few will continue down the other side to the water's edge for a swim/picnic or to camp overnight and return the next day. Whilst it was quite warm and at times sunny the was a lot of haze which did not show the Bay at its postcard pic best. I had a lot of goes trying to get the picture just right and did not succeed, need more skills and practice behind the lens.
After descending we set off on a short drive to see some of the side walks and also the Cape Tourville lighthouse, where there is another Short Walk! This one wanders for 600 metres along the cliff top on a boardwalk, bit of a drop off here and there, Leanne stayed back and allowed Allthego to complete the circuit. Great little walk.
After this little drive around we headed off the Kate's Berry Farm which is near Swansea about 50k south of Freycinet . It is up in the hills and has this wonderful view down a valley and across Great Oyster Bay to the Hazzards which is the group of mountains making up the Freycinet Peninsular. We indulged ourselves here on a French crepe with a berry compote and ice cream, just great could have eaten two of these. Dropped in at a vineyard on the return trip and tasted a few wines. Hmm a rather good Pinot Noir.
Back at camp it was dinner and an early night for the next days boat trip to Wineglass Bay. The day dawned and it was overcast and gloomy but no rain. Thankfully the rain held off and we had a great boat ride around the coastline to Wineglass Bay catching some wildlife along the way, birds, eagles, fur seals and TWO WHALES. It was a little disappointing to be in the Bay with the weather a bit off and not seeing the crystal clear water, against white sand and blue sky. But it was a great trip anyway. Leanne enjoyed the bouncy ride back through the waves and chop, spray going everywhere.
We now head off to St Helens and the Bay of Fires further to the north. We have had 3 reasonable weather days here at Freycinet and it seems that it is improving.

This week on the podcast, I'm excited to bring you a great interview with Wiff Rudd, professor of trumpet at Baylor University. Wiff is well known in the trumpet community for not only his brilliant playing, but for his ability to effectively build a healthy community within his trumpet studio.
Wiff and I covered a lot of topics in our 2 hour and 15 minute interview. A great deal of our discussion involved "Side By Side", the book he recently published. I hope you find our discussion encouraging and helpful in your efforts to establish or find a supportive community for you. Here are some takeaways from our episode:
Building Community
The resources that exist from what healthy communities look like and how to build them are vast. I asked Wiff what he believes the very first step in that journey is, and he replied, "Connection". Making space for connection between a teacher and a student is what he believes will spark all the necessary inspiration for continued community building. Taking ownership and investing yourself in those around you seems to be beneficial for all parties involved.
Never Stop Growing
One thing that resonated with me during my conversation with Wiff is how open he is to new ideas and his continued efforts to grow personally. It's clear that although Wiff's ideas are meaningful and worth considering, he's able to put himself second in service of serving his studio and the music community at Baylor. If others have great ideas, he wants them and to see if he can incorporate them. It's a great example of what it means to "Never stop growing".
Big Things Usually Have Small Beginnings
I'm always fascinated to hear how projects like a book, podcast, or other forms of media get their start. It was awesome to hear that Wiff's book started as a series of topics he would present at clinics and masterclasses, and over time he realized there were a great deal of people interested in further discussion. It's similar to my episode with Josh Jones, where his book started out as the exercises he was using during his teaching, and it expanded from there.
This concept has two applications for me. The first is if you have big dreams, it's ok if you don't have all the pieces put together yet. The second is you never know how the things you are doing now will evolve over time. Stay open and look for opportunities to grow and serve.
I hope you enjoyed this episode with Wiff Rudd! If you wouldn't mind leaving a rating and a review on iTunes, I'd really appreciate it. Don't forget to share on social media so others can find the episode and enjoy it themselves. Thanks so much for listening. Stay strong, be kind to yourself, and never stop growing!
Until next time,

Luke, Trixie, Andrea and I arrived in ಬಾದಾಮಿ (Badami) late evening of Sunday, March 4th. We got a tip back in Hampi to stay at Hotel Relax, so the crew set off from the bus station to find our new temporary home. So there's a trick to India that takes a bit of time to learn. The thing is, the people are generally very friendly, and as such, they will typically respond with a yes to your question, even if they don't necessarily understand the question. I now always preface my requests for help with "Do you speak english?" because any reservation in answering this question is a sure sign that I should move on to the next helpful stranger. So the point of this tangent is that we ended up spending a solid 30 minutes or more searching for the likely non-existent Hotel Relax. At one point we were driven to the luxurious hotel that costs $50 per night, simply because the locals assume that's what any tourist will want. I forget if I had already mentioned this before, but on multiple occasions I've asked for recommendations to a cheap place where the locals eat and upon arriving at the recommendation I find that it is an over-the-top snazzy and expensive restaurant.
So we discovered quickly that Badami is not a place that sees much tourism; that is, tourism from outside of India. There are some ancient temples carved into the rocks that attract a bit of tourism from around the country. I'm not sure if I've been to a climbing destination this unknown before. Even talking to climbers in Hampi, the majority look perplexed when I name drop this place. Perhaps Demir Kapija in Macedonia? But Demir Kapija was not very impressive from what I saw. This place is for sure some of the best climbing I've had this entire trip!
So we got a couple of dirty cheap hotel rooms for the night and then grabbed some dinner before hitting the hay. (Similar to Hampi, this area requires an early morning climbing sesh and an evening sesh, due to the brutal midday heat). We say down in the restaurant and waited…and waited…we discussed multiple times whether we should ask for menus or if they were going to just serve us food. At the exact moment that I called the attention of a staff member to request menus, he came out with our food. The food at this place, called a Thalia, arrives in a large circular metal tray and consists of an assortment of dishes. Tonights was beats, a lentil dish and another sort of veggie dish. Then the fresh chapatis are passed out to each plate. Careful! They're hot!
We were all rather confused as to how exactly this should be managed. Luke noted, that to the locals, this may look as absurd as watching an Indian in the states dissecting a burger and eating the separate components. Eventually the owner took notice and without hesitation he walked up to me, grabbed the chapati out of my hand, ripped it up into pieces, and then demonstrated a stirring motion over all the veggie dishes. Apparently the name of the game here is get messy. But only with your right hand!
The food comes out as you consume it here. A container that looks something like a giant silverware container is filled with the different dished, one in each of the four cylinders. The server slaps a spoonful of dish 1 on each persons place and then does a quick rotation and starts slapping down dish 2. He runs into the kitchen and returns a moment later with a plate of hot "tortillas". He points at each of us in turn, "Chapati? Chapati? Chapati? Chapati?". I don't know how much I ate. It's really dangerous, the way it just keeps coming out. All in all, this all-you-can-eat meal wracked up to a whopping $1.50 each.
I took a quick look into the kitchen afterwards, to see our chefs hard at work. I was blown away by what I saw. The walls were adobe or something of the like. A woman sat in the corner chopping vegetables in a bowl. Another was stoking the fire with an ancient air blowing mechanism. This kitchen looked straight out of the 16th century!
The next morning we got up bright and early to get climbing. Knock down a few $0.08 chai's and buy some sugary white bread because there's not much else to work with, and then get to the crag!
I had messaged Ganesha, a local climbing guide, and we planned to meet up to climb with him at Temple Area that morning. He had a few friends with him, and we also got to meet a few other Indians that had come from various parts of the country to have a little climbing getaway.
Great dinner that night at Shri Veerbhadreshwar!
Next morning, Deluxe Area.
First day getting on Honeymoon, an absolutely beautiful 7b that was soon to become my obsession for the rest of my time in Badami.
Crazy early start for our last day of climbing with Andrea, Luke and Trix. Some of the climbs had bolts missing, as in, it would just be a screw sticking out of the wall. It took me a while until I recognized that it was only the lower bolts that were missing. Apparently some of the locals will come up and steal the bolts! Also, Luke took his first whip!
That afternoon we checked out some old-ass temples. Built around the 6th century, these temples are carved right into the rock. More importantly, there is such beautiful rock here! Check out the potential trad line just to the left of this one temple!!!
So Trixie, Luke and Andrea headed back to Bangalore that night. Farewell guys! It was such a pleasure meeting you! Until next climb. (See ya soon Andrea :P)
Also, be sure to check out Trixie's beautifully written blog here!
Tips for visiting to Badami:
Rajsangam Hotel – cheap and nice accommodation right across from the bus station. 700₹ or fancy room for 1000₹. 900₹ for a three person room.
Shri Veerbhadreshwar – great food for super cheap. ask for the specials! especially the palak paneer!
Contact Ganesha Waddar about climbing in the area. He has a useful online guidebook as well.
Use rickshaws to get to the base of Deluxe or Temple crags. You can walk it, but the ride is only 50₹ and you don't want to waste your precious cool hours walking to the crag.

FreshRF's SmartBridge Dispatch Solution culminates many years of working with 2-way radio manufacturers to bring a fresh approach to the interface between users and mature RF technology. It delivers simple to use Android and Enterprise applications integrating radio systems with user in vehicle requirements in a single package.
Products and Information
SmartBridge Enterprise is a comprehensive client-server dispatch, AVL and health and safety solution. AVL for Direct Connect and 3rd party integration, multiple map data providers, health and safety for lone workers, in an enterprise grade architecture.
Smartbridge Enterprise is designed for simplicity of operation, hiding a highly complex interface with the radio's and operational triggers. Using IP/Serial interfaces it is possible to have multiple radio's on different networks all connected and available to a dispatcher. In the case of MPT and DMR a single radio can be set to change networks simply based on the field radio the dispatcher is trying to call. SmartBridge Enterprise includes full audio comms, as well as health and safety welfare management, AVL, Messaging, use of SDM's for simplifying operational requirements, and a full audit log of actions for H&S audit reporting.
SmartBridge Enterprise supports multiple AVL feeds whether GPS reports from the radio, or 3rd party AVL feed based on cellular, linked to the radio user. All vehicle locations (even non-radio) can be shown on the map and tracked with historic overlays.
Now more than ever with serious obligations on managers and directors for Health and Safety reporting, having a complete audit log of communications is a critical part of compliance.
SmartBridge builds on the pedigree of integrating operational requirements, not just setting up a call or sending a message, with the overall goals of efficient operations, as well as efficient communications.
SmartBridge Dispatcher delivers a simple, touch screen, all in one dispatch console including AVL/mapping, Messaging, Status alerts, Contact integration, Lone Worker, and full call control. Download it now from the Play Store.
SmartBridge Dispatcher is designed to combine the key elements dispatchers need for communicating and managing radio users in the field; voice, messaging, and to show where those units are on a map. The app is touch optimized making use and navigation as simple as using any tablet app. Being an App downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store, it also updates automatically so you have no software support or upgrade issues.
SmartBridge provides a straightforward way to integrate radio into your IT environment, e.g. Contacts and their radio idents are managed either on the device via the contacts application, or through Exchange/outlook simplifying the process of updating contacts.
Display vehicles and field workers on a map, with added ability to tap and call or poll the worker. Using well understood "tap, pinch, zoom" navigation users can easily see where units are, and initiate comms directly from the map. Units are colour coded to make it easy to see if they are active or not. Map data is global and can be cached on the units if they are going to be offline, e.g. in SAR operations. A complete call and message log. Calls and messages in/out and missed calls. Simply "flick" up and down the call log to find the call, and tap to call or message.
SmartBridge Mobile delivers business and user benefits by consolidating the in-vehicle electronic clutter, turning the radio interface into a 7-8" touch screen app, supporting the convergence of IT and Radio, lowering the cost, increasing the functionality and productivity of field workers.
SmartBridge Mobile is the smartest, most fully featured radio head in the market. The radio is now an app; installed and updated automatically from the Google Play Store. The radio body goes under the seat and SmartBridge Mobile delivers a user friendly, operations focused, fully integrated frontend radio experience like no other.
With your choice of tablet, a 7-10" touch screen interface, integration with voice, messaging, contacts, AVL/GPS, operations, and health and safety features. Whether you have 10 or 1,000 radio's in the field, the simplicity of management, training, user satisfaction and cost reductions will be profound.
Think of the possibilities....
• Standard tablets come with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE/4G (if desired), NFC, and 7"- 10" of colour IPS touchscreen.
• IT friendly and easy to integrate Contacts from exchange, or just from a Google account, MDM, and other productivity tools.
• Migrating from MPT to DMR?, UHF to VHF? Mixed fleet?: No problem! Update the RF body, not the user interface.
• User and business focused functionality all easily updated: GPS based network selection, AVL store/forward, DND, call forwarding, group calls, volume control, status messaging, change the functionality on screen, all without reprogramming the radio.

Get the book by Angela K. Durden by Clicking Here
Whether it is a song, a coffee cup, tire rim, books, or anything else…if that product is entering the retail environment wherein anyone other than the creator or owner will distribute, place, and otherwise track sales or usage of a product, the creator and owner absolutely must understand that retail pipeline and provide the proper documentation to it.
Now, here is where it gets interesting.
Of all the industries I've been involved in (through my manufacturing and retail customers), I have only met one industry that does not absolutely require documentation of proof of ownership throughout the pipeline.
That industry is Music. The question is why.
Could it be profits are low and so where it is possible not to send royalties and other distribution and sales checks, then checks are not sent because "hey, not our fault we can't find these people"?
Could it be because of the secretive nature of so-called artists who think royalty and distribution monies will magically find their way to them even though their own mothers would have a hard time finding them?
Could it be laziness? Unsure about what to do? Not enough accurate information? No standardized system?
It's all of the above, my friends. So, if you put a song out and you expect money and you don't get it, you better find out if your product has proper and thorough documentation that went along with it.
I'm working on a new book on this very subject: Simplifying and clarifying what a DIY/Indie needs to know and must do. Stay tuned.
