Although the existence of socioeconomic differentials in infant and childhood mortality in developing countries is well established. little consensus exists as to the most effective approaches to reducing such differentials. This article utilizes longitudinal data from the Matlab study area in rural Bangladesh to investigate the impact of an efficacious child survival intervention—measles vaccination—on reductions in gender and socioeconomic differentials in childhood mortality. The article analyzes data from 16,270 vaccinated children and randomly matched controls, and evaluates their subsequent mortality risks. Proportional hazards analysis demonstrates that unvaccinated children from very poor families face more than a threefold higher risk of subsequent early child mortality, compared to vaccinated children from families of high economic status. While measles vaccination has little impact on mortality risks among children of higher economic status, the improvement in survival among children from poorer households is pronounced. The provision of measles vaccination markedly reduces mortality risks for poorer children—from over three times higher to just over 1.5 times higher relative to vaccinated children from wealthier families. The findings of this study are evaluated in terms of the potential of child survival interventions such as measles vaccination to promote greater health equity.

Hey guys pretty new to AG and looking for something similar to these. Just tried both of these beers an love them. I think the true test is first if you enjoy a whole pint not just a taster but if a pitcher is good till the last drop you've really got something. Im still too green to attempt building my own recipe so if anyone has tried something similar to either of these or want to help me take a shot at putting one together I would appreciate it. Even if you want to throw a yay or neigh for either or recomend something you like better have at it.
thanks guys
No one has a recipe similar to either of these?
I've never seen a recipe for either of these. I do love me some Ninkasi believer double red. I've never looked in to cloning it because the brewery is here in town so it's every where and like to support the local guys. You could try to email Jamie to see if he could give you some suggestions.
If you want something like the Believer Double Red, try to find the West Coast Red recipe in Brewing Classic Styles. It's in the American Amber category and is similar to the Bear Republic Red Rocket, which to me is very similar to the Believer.
Thanks guys I'll give both a shot
I shot off an email to both last week and it looks like I struck out. No responses from either. I did find this list on Hale's ales for the mongoose though, Ingredients; Pale Malted Barely, Crystal Malts, Centennial and Nugget Hops. OG 1.060. As for finding the red rocket recipe I'm having some trouble finding that too. I will probably just have to buy the book to get it, or so its looking like.

are miniature roses hardy in Montreal?
A coworker got a miniature rose in a pot after illness and gave it away. I stuck it in the front and it is blooming, so I guess it likes where it is. But I know nothing about them. Do I take it in for the winter? or leave it out?
I planted about 6-8 and a couple of years ago and treated them the same as with the regular roses. I covered them with mulch and styrofoam cones. Only 3 survived the winter. The second winter around none of the miniatures survived. I never tried to take them indoors in the fall. Maybe you could try. I didn't because I have a problem with space and have to be very selctive about the plants I return indoors when the weather gets cold.
Maybe we can get some advice from the experts out there.
How are your clivia seedlings doing?
My wife likes to buy a couple of those from time to time. Once the blooms are spent we plant them in the garden. They last a couple of years but some do not make the first winter, at the modest cost it is no big loss. The bonus is those that survive and provide another year of enjoyment. We are zone 6A.
Joe, mine grew a bit more all of them have 1 leaf of about 7 to 10 cms long. What I noticed is that we have different cultivars because some of them are more elongated than others. I still keep them indoors. I don't trust the squirrels! One of these days I will learn how to post pictures in GW and you will see then, so you can give me your opinion.

February 6, 2013 - Products
The Truckload Carriers Association and The National Industrial Transportation League announced that a newly revised version of their joint Voluntary Guide to Good Business Relations is now available.
The guide emphasizes reasonable and commonsense treatment of the four primary parties involved in truck transportation, and outlines mutually desirable business practices that TCA and NITL believe responsible shippers, receivers, carriers, and drivers should adopt.
While many of the concepts in the original guide — written in September of 2000 — are still valid, both TCA and NITL felt it was important to update the wording to better reflect today's more complex operating environment.
Although the guide was initially developed by TCA and NITL for their respective members, both organizations believe it is applicable to many, if not all, segments of the truck transportation industry and their customers.
The organizations are encouraging other entities, such as food shippers, warehousing organizations, the retail industry, etc., to adopt these voluntary guidelines.
To view the newly revised Voluntary Guide to Good Business Relations for Shippers, Receivers, Carriers, and Drivers, please visit www.truckload.org/Voluntary-Guide or www.nitl.org/NITL_TCA-Guidelines.pdf.

Tycoon Tomato?
Hello, has anyone heard of a Tycoon tomato?
I got two tomato plants at the end of Aug. from the Earthbox Research Center in Ellenton Fl.
I dont have much info on these plants. One is marked "Cherry" and the other is marked "Tycoon"
The cherry plant has about 140 golf ball size and about 1/2 are ripe.
The tycoon has maybe a 18 to 24 and two are pink in color.
I dont know if they are going to turn red or going to stay pink.
Any ideals?
I don't see how anyone can say anything about a something just called "cherry", but I did link to the only reference of Tycoon that I found by Googling.
Perhaps it might be easier for you to just ask at the Earthbox Research Center where you got the plants for a bit more about each of them. ( smile)
Here is a link that might be useful: Tycoon
Thank for the help.
I understand what you are saying. When the person at the center asked if I needed help. I said I wanted to grow some tomatos and he said big or small. I asked what kind were they. He said they were what grows good in this area. Not the answer I was looking for. So I asked for one of each. (He is right about one thing, they are growing good.)
Next Feb. I'm going to try to grow some from seeds. Then I will have a better ideal what I'm growing.
Sandbar - Tycoon is a round tomato produced by Hazera Seed Company. It's claim to fame is that it is resistant to TYLCV (Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus), TSWV (Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus), as well as Fusarium Wilt (F), Verticillium Wilt (V),
Root Nematodes (N), and Tobacco Mosaic (T). It is newly named and just became available commercially. Kind of a bulletproof tomato for the Florida growing area. It does produce a beautiful vine ripe with good size. (300-320 gram)
Hope this helps,
I just finished up with my first four Tycoon tomato vines in San Antonio, and I was impressed with the production and quality of the fruit in a pretty rough growing region for tomatoes. This guy at work has a degree in horticulture from North Carolina and did not believe anyone could grow good tomatoes down here. He was impressed with the quality.
i found this post searching google for a seed source in case the ones I saved don't take in the third season.
Two thumbs up, from me.
Good to hear that. I just transplanted a pair of Tycoons today. I hope mines do ok, 'cuz I'm pretty sure they got inoculated with TYLCV way too early and it's gotten hotter here.
How was their growing condition, any diseases or stressful environment like high temps? Or was it a pretty smooth season?
Also, you said you were looking for seed sources? I got mine from a seller on Amazon. So far the germ rate is 12/12, all within 3-4days.
ParamountSeeds also carry Tycoon seeds and a few other toms by Hazera. But the smallest pack they sell is about 250 seeds.
My parents grow tycoons down in south Texas where it's hot hot hot. Their local garden center recommends them for the area. So it seems like a tomato that tends to be recommended for hot areas (I think they're in zone 10).
It does pretty well for them. They've had them produce in the spring and then make it through to fall for a second crop.
Thanks julia42, it's good to hear that. "Heat set ability" was one reason why I got tycoon seeds. From what you said, it seems to be a vigorous determinant, very nice. I was also wondering how well tycoon can tolerate tomato yellow leaf curl virus. Do you know if they have the virus around their area?
Or if anyone has grown Tycoon under low-high virus pressure, please share your experience.

Charleston Area - Nursery/Backyard Gardener Recommendations Plz
Will be spending a few days in Charleston this coming week and would love to get some recommendations on nurseries and/or backyard gardeners if anyone can help.
Would like to find a good source for daylilies, iris, butterfly bush,(looking for something different, have 25 different ones), among others. Basically, just some reasonable priced plants that are a bit different, or a place that has a good variety and that's reasonably priced.
Would like to find some different fig plants. Kiowa blackberry is at top of my list but doubt I can find it around there.
TIA for any and all help. Will check for replies periodically.
Forget the malls...plants are my guilty pleasure
Hyams on Folly Rd.
Brownswood Nursery-Johns Island
Abide A While- Mt. Pleasant
I went to all 3 even before seeing your reply...was very disappointed with every place I went. The only thing I found was a LSU Fig, and that was at Walmart, and I had to drive about 20 minutes because the ones near the hotel was covered with mites, as this one was, but not nearly as bad.
I would have thought there would have been a much better selection.
Thanks for the input though, appreciate it!
debelli, by means of explanation..tourist cities like Charleston area and Charlotte the land value is just too high to be affordable for the better garden centers we prefer. It takes a fair distance away in less pricey suburbs to find these garden center gems run by people who know plants and area soils and growing conditions. They are much fewer and farther between than they used to be and if they don't have a good website with directions, they're doomed. One year they're there and you've made an exciting discovery.
Next year, they're gone.

The Union Ministry of Women and Child Welfare has proposed to bring in stricter punishment for juveniles – in the age group of 16-18 years -- involved in heinous crime. The Ministry has proposed a quantum jump from a maximum of three years in a correction facility that can be awarded to a juvenile under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 currently to five, ten or even life (in the rarest of rare cases).
Speaking about its rather 'stern' stand on the subject of awarding more severe sentence to juvenile delinquents, Union Minister for Women and Child Welfare Krishna Tirath said: "We understand that there has to be an effective deterrent for children to stay away from crime. We are in the process of consulting with the Home and Law ministries to bring in much stricter punishment which could include life imprisonment."
Stating that juvenile delinquents would not be lodged in adult jails, the Minister said: "We are looking at offering these delinquents a place where they will be given educational facilities, vocational training and the chance to be able to earn a decent livelihood when they step out into the society."
Stating that the society too has to understand that children form a minuscule number of the total people involved in crimes and even among them, that of juveniles involved in heinous crimes is even smaller, she said: "Juveniles involved in crime are a result of the circumstances they are exposed to when they are children. Harsh and violent circumstances often shape their future. The society too has to play a proactive role in ensuring that children grow up with their right to education and food intact."
The Minister also spoke about self-styled spiritual guru Asaram Bapu and said that blind faith is not advisable. "Spiritual gurus are supposed to guide and protect people, not supposed to rape innocent girls. The things that we associate with a 'saint' cannot be associated with Asaram and his actions now. Also the common man has to understand that blind faith in anything is dangerous," said the Minister.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Rewind just six days. Illinois State senior guard Tyler Brown had just gone for 28 points and nine rebounds in a losing effort on the road at Northern Iowa. On Friday night with his career in the balance, Brown displayed an encore performance, but the evening yielded a much more favorable result as the sixth-seeded Redbirds defeated the UNI Panthers, 73-65. Since Feb. 2, Brown has been one of the more prolific scorers in the country, averaging 24.4 points per game over the last 10 games. The six-foot-four Brown didnt waste much time showing off his scoring prowess to the crowd of 14,004. He dribbled, shook his shoulders, stepped back and drained a deep three. Then did it again. Then twice more for good measure all in the first five minutes. That 12-point outburst would set the tone for the next 35 minutes for the talented wing. "I go into every game feeling that way," he said. "I just want to be aggressive. I feel like it opens up a lot for my teammates." W...

The vast line includes handbags, totes, belts, scarves, hats, and small leather goods, many in Adler's trademark brights and playful prints.

"Everything is chic and classic with bold, fresh colors and some of my favorite patterns and icons."
When asked which piece he is the most excited about, he admitted, "I can't pick just one piece—I love them all. I will cheat and say that I love the bags. The jute pouches are a chic grab-and-go option to hold your bits and bobs, and the totes are as good on the inside as they are on the outside with pockets for your specs, keys, and phone."

With Full-HD 1080p projection now available for under AU$2000, what do get if you spend more money? Well, there's a basic consumer electronics' rule of diminishing returns which says to get a marked improvement you need to spend about twice as much. So, does this apply to Sony's new VPLHW15 which has an RRP of nearly AU$4500 but can be had with a bit of shopping around for AU$3500?
Design and features
Like a lot of 1080p projectors, the VPLHW15's a physically substantial piece of kit. Beneath its shiny black exterior it uses Sony's proprietary SXRD chipset in a triple panel array (as opposed to conventional LCD and DLP chipsets). Coupled to this we have a 200-Watt ultra-high pressure lamp rated at 1000 Lumens and an improved Dynamic Iris that is said to produce a contrast ratio of a whopping 60,000:1. Sony's Bravia Engine 2 also works its digital video processing magic, by aiming to reduce picture noise and enhance detail as well as being compatible with both Deep Color and x.v.Color technologies.
Two HDMI 1.3a inputs are provided along with RCA and 15-pin component ins, plus S-Video and composite video connections as well. External automated control is via the standard RS-232 port and the VPLHW15 also includes Sony's Bravia Theatre Sync to communicate with other compatible Sony gear, say an AV receiver or Blu-ray player.
It comes with a decent-sized backlit remote, which not only gives you direct access to the main projector settings, such as Black Level, Advanced Iris and Colour Processing, there are also some playing and chapter controls for aforementioned Bravia Theatre Sync players. Delving into the Sony's menu reveals a substantial amount of set-up options, but thankfully the interface is well laid out and intuitive to follow. We'd once again advise a proper calibration to get the very best possible picture quality — either with the help of a do-it-yourself DVD or BD or better still a professional job that will set you back around AU$300.
We made a few setting adjustments and liked what we saw in "Cinema" mode with the Dynamic Iris on and we also left the colour temperature at the default "Low" setting; all of which produced more than enough brightness in our darkened AV room. Table-top mounted, the Sony needed a little keystone correction as well, but thankfully the image edge remained tight and true.

Discussion of open source MapReduce implementation Hadoop. Related subjects include:
There is much confusion about migration, by which I mean applications or investment being moved from one "platform" technology — hardware, operating system, DBMS, Hadoop, appliance, cluster, cloud, etc. — to another. Let's sort some of that out. For starters:
- There are several fundamentally different kinds of "migration".
- You can re-host an existing application.
- You can replace an existing application with another one that does similar (and hopefully also new) things. This new application may be on a different platform than the old one.
- You can build or buy a wholly new application.
- There's also the inbetween case in which you extend an old application with significant new capabilities — which may not be well-suited for the existing platform.
- Motives for migration generally fall into a few buckets. The main ones are:
- You want to use a new app, and it only runs on certain platforms.
- The new platform may be cheaper to buy, rent or lease.
- The new platform may have lower operating costs in other ways, such as administration.
- Your employees may like the new platform's "cool" aspect. (If the employee is sufficiently high-ranking, substitute "strategic" for "cool".)
- Different apps may be much easier or harder to re-host. At two extremes:
- It can be forbiddingly difficult to re-host an OLTP (OnLine Transaction Processing) app that is heavily tuned, tightly integrated with your other apps, and built using your DBMS vendor's proprietary stored-procedure language.
- It might be trivial to migrate a few long-running SQL queries to a new engine, and pretty easy to handle the data connectivity part of the move as well.
- Certain organizations, usually packaged software companies, design portability into their products from the get-go, with at least partial success.
I mixed together true migration and new-app platforms in a post last year about DBMS architecture choices, when I wrote: Read more

Notes and links, December 12, 2014
1. A couple years ago I wrote skeptically about integrating predictive modeling and business intelligence. I'm less skeptical now.
For starters:
- The predictive experimentation I wrote about over Thanksgiving calls naturally for some BI/dashboarding to monitor how it's going.
- If you think about Nutonian's pitch, it can be approximated as "Root-cause analysis so easy a business analyst can do it." That could be interesting to jump to after BI has turned up anomalies. And it should be pretty easy to whip up a UI for choosing a data set and objective function to model on, since those are both things that the BI tool would know how to get to anyway.
I've also heard a couple of ideas about how predictive modeling can support BI. One is via my client Omer Trajman, whose startup ScalingData is still semi-stealthy, but says they're "working at the intersection of big data and IT operations". The idea goes something like this:
- Suppose we have lots of logs about lots of things.* Machine learning can help:
- Notice what's an anomaly.
- Group* together things that seem to be experiencing similar anomalies.
- That can inform a BI-plus interface for a human to figure out what is happening.
Makes sense to me.
* The word "cluster" could have been used here in a couple of different ways, so I decided to avoid it altogether.
Finally, I'm hearing a variety of "smart ETL/data preparation" and "we recommend what columns you should join" stories. I don't know how much machine learning there's been in those to date, but it's usually at least on the roadmap to make the systems (yet) smarter in the future. The end benefit is usually to facilitate BI.

A few numbers from MapR
MapR put out a press release aggregating some customer information; unfortunately, the release is a monument to vagueness. Let me start by saying:
- I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing Derrick Harris was incorrect in suspecting that this release was a reaction to my recent post about Hortonworks' numbers. For one thing, press releases usually don't happen that quickly.
- And as should be obvious from the previous point — notwithstanding that MapR is a client, I had no direct involvement in this release.
- In general, I advise clients and other vendors to put out the kind of aggregate of customer success stories found in this release. However, I would like to see more substance than MapR offered.
Anyhow, the key statement in the MapR release is:
… the number of companies that have a paid subscription for MapR now exceeds 700.
Unfortunately, that includes OEM customers as well as direct ones; I imagine MapR's direct customer count is much lower.
In one gesture to numerical conservatism, MapR did indicate by email that it counts by overall customer organization, not by department/cluster/contract (i.e., not the way Hortonworks does). Read more

Hadoop's next refactoring?
I believe in all of the following trends:
- Hadoop is a Big Deal, and here to stay.
- Spark, for most practical purposes, is becoming a big part of Hadoop.
- Most servers will be operated away from user premises, whether via SaaS (Software as a Service), co-location, or "true" cloud computing.
Trickier is the meme that Hadoop is "the new OS". My thoughts on that start:
- People would like this to be true, although in most cases only as one of several cluster computing platforms.
- Hadoop, when viewed as an operating system, is extremely primitive.
- Even so, the greatest awkwardness I'm seeing when different software shares a Hadoop cluster isn't actually in scheduling, but rather in data interchange.
There is also a minor issue that if you distribute your Hadoop work among extra nodes you might have to pay a bit more to your Hadoop distro support vendor. Fortunately, the software industry routinely solves more difficult pricing problems than that.

Notes on the Hortonworks IPO S-1 filing
Given my stock research experience, perhaps I should post about Hortonworks' initial public offering S-1 filing. For starters, let me say:
- Hortonworks' subscription revenues for the 9 months ended last September 30 appear to be:
- $11.7 million from everybody but Microsoft, …
- … plus $7.5 million from Microsoft, …
- … for a total of $19.2 million.
- Hortonworks states subscription customer counts (as per Page 55 this includes multiple "customers" within the same organization) of:
- 2 on April 30, 2012.
- 9 on December 31, 2012.
- 25 on April 30, 2013.
- 54 on September 30, 2013.
- 95 on December 31, 2013.
- 233 on September 30, 2014.
- Per Page 70, Hortonworks' total September 30, 2014 customer count was 292, including professional services customers.
- Non-Microsoft subscription revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 seems to have been $5.6 million, or $22.5 million annualized. This suggests Hortonworks' average subscription revenue per non-Microsoft customer is a little over $100K/year.
- This IPO looks to be a sharply "down round" vs. Hortonworks' Series D financing earlier this year.
- In March and June, 2014, Hortonworks sold stock that subsequently was converted into 1/2 a Hortonworks share each at $12.1871 per share.
- The tentative top of the offering's price range is $14/share.
- That's also slightly down from the Series C price in mid-2013.
And, perhaps of interest only to me — there are approximately 50 references to YARN in the Hortonworks S-1, but only 1 mention of Tez.

Thoughts and notes, Thanksgiving weekend 2014
I'm taking a few weeks defocused from work, as a kind of grandpaternity leave. That said, the venue for my Dances of Infant Calming is a small-but-nice apartment in San Francisco, so a certain amount of thinking about tech industries is inevitable. I even found time last Tuesday to meet or speak with my clients at WibiData, MemSQL, Cloudera, Citus Data, and MongoDB. And thus:
1. I've been sloppy in my terminology around "geo-distribution", in that I don't always make it easy to distinguish between:
- Storing different parts of a database in different geographies, often for reasons of data privacy regulatory compliance.
- Replicating an entire database into different geographies, often for reasons of latency and/or availability/ disaster recovery,
The latter case can be subdivided further depending on whether multiple copies of the data can accept first writes (aka active-active, multi-master, or multi-active), or whether there's a clear single master for each part of the database.
What made me think of this was a phone call with MongoDB in which I learned that the limit on number of replicas had been raised from 12 to 50, to support the full-replication/latency-reduction use case.
2. Three years ago I posted about agile (predictive) analytics. One of the points was:
… if you change your offers, prices, ad placement, ad text, ad appearance, call center scripts, or anything else, you immediately gain new information that isn't well-reflected in your previous models.
Subsequently I've been hearing more about predictive experimentation such as bandit testing. WibiData, whose views are influenced by a couple of Very Famous Department Store clients (one of which is Macy's), thinks experimentation is quite important. And it could be argued that experimentation is one of the simplest and most direct ways to increase the value of your data.
3. I'd further say that a number of developments, trends or possibilities I'm seeing are or could be connected. These include agile and experimental predictive analytics in general, as noted in the previous point, along with: Read more
Technical differentiation
I commonly write about real or apparent technical differentiation, in a broad variety of domains. But actually, computers only do a couple of kinds of things:
- Accept instructions.
- Execute them.
And hence almost all IT product differentiation fits into two buckets:
- Easier instruction-giving, whether that's in the form of a user interface, a language, or an API.
- Better execution, where "better" usually boils down to "faster", "more reliable" or "more reliably fast".
As examples of this reductionism, please consider:
- Application development is of course a matter of giving instructions to a computer.
- Database management systems accept and execute data manipulation instructions.
- Data integration tools accept and execute data integration instructions.
- System management software accepts and executes system management instructions.
- Business intelligence tools accept and execute instructions for data retrieval, navigation, aggregation and display.
Similar stories are true about application software, or about anything that has an API (Application Programming Interface) or SDK (Software Development Kit).
Yes, all my examples are in software. That's what I focus on. If I wanted to be more balanced in including hardware or data centers, I might phrase the discussion a little differently — but the core points would still remain true.
What I've said so far should make more sense if we combine it with the observation that differentiation is usually restricted to particular domains. Read more

Datameer at the time of Datameer 5.0
Datameer checked in, having recently announced general availability of Datameer 5.0. So far as I understood, Datameer is still clearly in the investigative analytics business, in that:
- Datameer does business intelligence, but not at human real-time speeds. Datameer query durations are sometimes sub-minute, but surely not sub-second.
- Datameer also does lightweight predictive analytics/machine learning — k-means clustering, decision trees, and so on.
Key aspects include:
- Datameer runs straight against Hadoop.
- Like many other analytic offerings, Datameer is meant to be "self-service", for line-of-business business analysts, and includes some "data preparation". Datameer also has had some data profiling since Datameer 4.0.
- The main way of interacting with Datameer seems to be visual analytic programming. However, I Datameer has evolved somewhat away from its original spreadsheet metaphor.
- Datameer's primitives resemble those you'd find in SQL (e.g. JOINs, GROUPBYs). More precisely, that would be SQL with a sessionization extension; e.g., there's a function called GROUPBYGAP.
- Datameer lets you write derived data back into Hadoop.

Cloudera's announcements this week
This week being Hadoop World, Cloudera naturally put out a flurry of press releases. In anticipation, I put out a context-setting post last weekend. That said, the gist of the news seems to be:
- Cloudera continued to improve various aspects of its product line, especially Impala with a Version 2.0. Good for them. One should always be making one's products better.
- Cloudera announced a variety of partnerships with companies one would think are opposed to it. Not all are Barney. I'm now hard-pressed to think of any sustainable-looking relationship advantage Hortonworks has left in the Unix/Linux world. (However, I haven't heard a peep about any kind of Cloudera/Microsoft/Windows collaboration.)
- Cloudera is getting more cloud-friendly, via a new product — Cloudera Director. Probably there are or will be some cloud-services partnerships as well.
Notes on Cloudera Director start:
- It's closed-source.
- Code and support are included in any version of Cloudera Enterprise.
- It's a management tool. Indeed, Cloudera characterized it to me as a sort of manager of Cloudera Managers.
What I have not heard is any answer for the traditional performance challenge of Hadoop-in-the-cloud, which is:
- Hadoop, like most analytic RDBMS, tightly couples processing and storage in a shared-nothing way.
- Standard cloud architectures, however, decouple them, thus mooting a considerable fraction of Hadoop performance engineering.
Maybe that problem isn't — or is no longer — as big a deal as I've been told.

Context for Cloudera
Hadoop World/Strata is this week, so of course my clients at Cloudera will have a bunch of announcements. Without front-running those, I think it might be interesting to review the current state of the Cloudera product line. Details may be found on the Cloudera product comparison page. Examining those details helps, I think, with understanding where Cloudera does and doesn't place sales and marketing focus, which given Cloudera's Hadoop market stature is in my opinion an interesting thing to analyze.
So far as I can tell (and there may be some errors in this, as Cloudera is not always accurate in explaining the fine details):
- CDH (Cloudera Distribution … Hadoop) contains a lot of Apache open source code.
- Cloudera has a much longer list of Apache projects that it thinks comprise "Core Hadoop" than, say, Hortonworks does.
- Specifically, that list currently is: Hadoop, Flume, HCatalog, Hive, Hue, Mahout, Oozie, Pig, Sentry, Sqoop, Whirr, ZooKeeper.
- In addition to those projects, CDH also includes HBase, Impala, Spark and Cloudera Search.
- Cloudera Manager is closed-source code, much of which is free to use. (I.e., "free like beer" but not "free like speech".)
- Cloudera Navigator is closed-source code that you have to pay for (free trials and the like excepted).
- Cloudera Express is Cloudera's favorite free subscription offering. It combines CDH with the free part of Cloudera Manager. Note: Cloudera Express was previously called Cloudera Standard, and that terminology is still reflected in parts of Cloudera's website.
- Cloudera Enterprise is the umbrella name for Cloudera's three favorite paid offerings.
- Cloudera Enterprise Basic Edition contains:
- All the code in CDH and Cloudera Manager, and I guess Accumulo code as well.
- Commercial licenses for all that code.
- A license key to use the entirety of Cloudera Manager, not just the free part.
- Support for the "Core Hadoop" part of CDH.
- Support for Cloudera Manager. Note: Cloudera is lazy about saying this explicitly, but it seems obvious.
- The code for Cloudera Navigator, but that's moot, as the corresponding license key for Cloudera Navigator is not part of the package.
- Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub Edition contains:
- Everything in Cloudera Basic Edition.
- A license key for Cloudera Navigator.
- Support for all of HBase, Accumulo, Impala, Spark, Cloudera Search and Cloudera Navigator.
- Cloudera Enterprise Flex Edition contains everything in Cloudera Basic Edition, plus support for one of the extras in Data Hub Edition.
In analyzing all this, I'm focused on two particular aspects:
- The "zero, one, many" system for defining the editions of Cloudera Enterprise.
- The use of "Data Hub" as a general marketing term.

Kobe- The city, not the beef
... finally go to the main street there was a park and there were guys skateboarding in the park. We watched them for a while because I was a bit fascinated to see this in Japan. We then went to a 7/11 on the main street because my friend needed to get money. I bought a bag of chips that looked interesting and saved them for back on the ship. We then went to a shopping building that was tall and skinny. Each floor had different things on it. Floor 1- tech, floor 2- ...

Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, is about an hour by train from Osaka and goes via Kyoto.
The JR pass covers which is a bit of a relief.
After an eagle tries to snatch my Japanese wheat bread with butter and jam away from me on the Biwa Pier, I escape towards Hieizan Sakamoto which is another shrine on the mountains with the added drama of access via cable car.
I then end up at the ____ bridge across Biwa and after admiring the ...

Soccer is most definitely the greatest sport in the world, but I will get to that a little later. This morning I slept in and then Mike and I took the train from the ship into the city to explore. We looked at a bunch of shops and then met up with Sunny, Kiwi and Cara for lunch. We sat down to eat at a Japanese hibachi restaurant and began getting to know each other.

Create User Interfaces with Glade
Glade is a GUI builder for the Gtk+ toolkit. Glade makes it easy to create user interfaces interactively, and it can generate source code for those interfaces as well as stubs for user interface callbacks.
The libglade library allows programs to instantiate widget hierarchies defined in Glade project files easily. It includes a way to bind callbacks named in the project file to program-supplied callback routines.
James Henstridge maintains both libglade and the gnome-python package, which is a Python binding to the Gtk+ toolkit, the GNOME user interface libraries and libglade itself. Using libglade binding to build Python-based GUI applications can provide significant savings in development and maintenance costs.
All code examples in this article have been developed using Glade 0.5.11, gnome-python 1.0.53 and Python 2.1b1 running on Mandrake Linux 7.2.
When launched, Glade displays three top-level windows (see Figure 1). The application main window shows the contents of the current Glade project file as a list of top-level windows and dialogs defined in the project file. The Palette window shows the Gtk+ and GNOME widgets supported by Glade. When a widget is selected for editing, the Properties window displays the current values of that widget's properties.
The Palette window partitions Glade's supported widgets into three groups. "GTK+ Basic" widgets are the most commonly used Gtk+ widgets. "GTK+ Additional" are less frequently used widgets such as rulers and calendars. "Gnome" widgets are taken from the GNOME UI library.
The Properties window displays widget properties in a four-page notebook. The Widget page displays the widget's name along with any properties that are specific to the widget's class. When the widget is placed inside a constraint-based container such as a GtkTable or GtkVBox, the Place page shows the properties that control the widget's placement within its container; otherwise the Place page is empty. The Basic page displays basic properties, such as width and height, possessed by all kinds of widgets. Finally, the Signals page lets you browse the set of Gtk+ signals that the selected widget can emit and lets you bind signal handler functions to those signals.
The process of laying out a widget hierarchy within Glade is similar to that in environments such as Visual Basic. The root of every hierarchy is a top-level window or a dialog. Widgets can be placed within these top-level containers by first selecting, in the Glade Palette window, the type of widget to be created, then clicking on any cross-hatched region within the containers.
The Signals page of the Glade Properties window lets you add application-specific behavior to your application. The top part of the page lists the signal handlers defined for the current widget. The controls in the bottom part of the page let you select one of the signals emitted by the widget and create a new handler for it.
To define a new signal handler, click on the ellipsis button to the right of the Signal entry field. A Select Signal dialog appears, listing all of the signals that this widget can emit. The signals are grouped by the Gtk+ widget class in which they are defined (see Figure 2).
Once you have selected a signal, click OK in the Select Signal dialog. The name of the selected signal appears in the Signal entry field of the Signals page. Glade also automatically fills in the Handler field, using the naming convention of "on_<widget>_<signal>". You can change the name manually if Glade's naming conventions don't suit your needs.
The bottom portion of the Signals page provides additional entry fields where you can supply application-specific data, specify an object to receive the signal, and so on. I always leave these fields empty because they aren't needed when working with gnome-python.
