the description of hbase-5416 stated why it was introduced, if you only
have 1 CF, dummy CF does not help. it is helpful for multi-CF case,
e.g. "putting
them in one column family. And "Non frequently" ones in another. "

Please read the chapter 9 "Advanced usage" in book "HBase Definitive Guide"
about how hbase store data on disk and how to design rowkey based on
specific scenario.(rowkey is the only index you can use, so take care)
bq. "The table is read-only. It is bulk-loaded once. When a new data is

the scenario is quite different. as hbase is designed for random
read/write. the limitation described at
http://hbase.apache.org/book/number.of.cfs.html is to consider the write
case(flush&compaction), perhaps you could try 140 CFs, as long as you can

Medicine Now
- 1 November 2013 — 1 November 2018 *on now
This exhibition presents a range of ideas about science and medicine since Henry Wellcome's death in 1936. It reflects the experiences and interests of scientists, doctors and patients.
Within the huge field of medicine this exhibition attempts to focus on only a few topics: the body, genomes, obesity and living with medical science. Each is explored through a range of exhibits from science and everyday life, as well as artistic responses to the issues presented in red 'art cubes'.
Suitable for
- Family friendly
The Institute of Sexology
- 20 November 2014 — 20 September 2015 *on now
'The Institute of Sexology' tells the complex and often contradictory story of the study of sex through its pioneers.
Featuring over 200 objects spanning art, erotica, film and photography, 'The Institute of Sexology' is the first UK exhibition to bring together the pioneers of the study of sex including Magnus Hirschfeld, Sigmund Freud, Marie Stopes, Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Mead, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, and the team behind Natsal.
From Alfred Kinsey's complex questionnaires to the contemporary National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal), the exhibition investigates how the practice of sex research has shaped our ever-evolving attitudes towards sexual behaviour and identity. Moving between pathologies of perversion and contested ideas of normality, it shows how sex has been observed, analysed and questioned from the late 19th century to the present day.
This is the first of our longer exhibitions in our newly opened Gallery 2. 'The Institute of Sexology' will evolve over the course of the year, with new commissions, live interventions, discussions and performances within the gallery space. The exhibition is part of a wider Sexology Season of activity across the country including Brighton, Southampton, Manchester and Glasgow.
Please note that 'The Institute of Sexology' includes exhibits and live events of a sexual nature.
Suitable for

Forensics: The anatomy of crime
- 26 February — 21 June 2015 *on now
'Forensics: the anatomy of crime' explores the history, science and art of forensic medicine. It travels from crime scene to courtroom, across centuries and continents, exploring the specialisms of those involved in the delicate processes of collecting, analysing and presenting medical evidence. It draws out the stories of victims, suspects and investigators of violent crimes, and our enduring cultural fascination with death and detection.
The exhibition contains original evidence, archival material, photographic documentation, film footage, forensic instruments and specimens, and is rich with artworks offering both unsettling and intimate responses to traumatic events. Challenging familiar views of forensic medicine shaped by fictions that came out of the sensational reporting of late Victorian murder cases and popular crime dramas, 'Forensics' highlights the complex entwining of law and medicine, and the scientific methods it calls upon and creates.
The Catalogue for the Public Library of Private Acts
- 13 — 24 May 2015
An interactive piece by artist Johanna Linsley that imagines a library that doesn't exist yet. This hypothetical library makes available for the first time the entire array of human experience, insofar as that experience occurs behind closed doors, with curtains drawn and voices hushed. The library specialises in the unspoken, the only imagined and the secretly shared. It champions autonomy and tolerates lies, then betrays its own subject by throwing its doors wide, wide open.
Or that's what we hope. Assisted by audio recordings and live interventions, visitors are invited to contribute to a catalogue for this not-yet-existent library, with the aim of calling it into being.
Johanna Linsley is an artist, researcher and producer with an interdisciplinary approach focusing on performance. She is part of the London-based live art producing team I'm With You, which investigates queerness, domesticity, private life and public space. She is also a founding partner of UnionDocs, a centre for experimental documentary in Brooklyn, New York.
MEMORY MOVEMENT MEMORY OBJECTS: Alice Anderson at Wellcome Collection
- 23 July — 18 October 2015
In July 2015 Wellcome Collection will present a major exhibition of works by acclaimed artist, Alice Anderson: 'Memory Movement Memory Objects'. Anderson's sculptures are entirely mummified in copper thread, creating glistening landscapes of beautiful, uncanny and transformed objects. Each piece is an exploration and act of memory. Both the making and display of works interrogate how we create, recall, transform and seal the past and imagine the future. Over 100 works will be displayed and, uniquely, visitors will be invited to contribute to the creation of a new work during the run of the exhibition, as a car from the artist's life is mummified in the gallery.
The gallery will carry the mesmerising glint of displayed treasure, akin to entering a Pharaoh's tomb, but the objects on show are fashioned relics, or new archaeology. Strikingly lit, the sheen of copper is, for the artist, key to the absorbing physical and mental experience of entombing objects. The process of mummification is simultaneously a gesture of protection and an invocation of death, and Anderson's exquisite sculptures pose challenging questions about the comforts and consolations of creating and sharing memories. Offering an alternative way of remembering, the exhibition will animate the terrain where movement, objects and consciousness meet.

Tales of poisonings have had a hold on the popular imagination for centuries, often blurring truth and fiction.
Do untraceable poisons exist? Were there really poison epidemics in the 1850s? Why do so many murderous doctors choose poisoning? And how can the same toxic substances help save your life?
We delve into the archives for answers.

Join broadcaster Claudia Hammond for a panel discussion as she explores the wandering mind with author and psychologist Charles Fernyhough, medieval historian Hilary Powell and cognitive neuroscientist Jonny Smallwood.
We like to think we are in charge of our own minds, but how often do we find our minds wandering, however hard we might try to focus? Psychologists and neuroscientists are finding new ways of studying what the mind and the brain do when left to their own devices. Is mind-wandering a modern problem or something people have struggled with for centuries? And could a little mind-wandering now and then be good for us?
These are some of the questions that Hubbub, the first residents of The Hub at Wellcome Collection, are addressing.

Adventures in Human Being
- 28 May 2015 7-8pm
We have a lifetime's association with our bodies, but for many of us they remain uncharted territory. In his book 'Adventures in Human Being', Gavin Francis leads the reader through the landscapes of the body, exploring it from literary, artistic, clinical and cultural points of view.
Offering insights from the pulsating surface of the brain to the secret workings of the heart, from the pulse of life at the wrist to the unique engineering of the foot, he draws on his experiences as a physician and award-winning travel writer and blends first-hand case studies with reflections on the ways the body has been imagined and portrayed over millennia.
The body can feel like a foreign country to some of us, and the practice of medicine an exploration of new territory. Join Gavin Francis in conversation for an adventure through what it is to be human.

Good for the Price
This book is not meant to teach math skills to students, but provides a set of practice pages, which is especially useful over the summer. The latest revision has eliminated the errors that previously existed. The graphics pull children into the page, and there are not so many problems per page that it is overwhelming. For the price ($6) it is definitely worth it. There are better workbooks out there, but they are not appealing to children. The others provide better instruction, but if you or your child need instruction on elementary math, a workbook is not the place for you anyway.Was this review helpful?

How Would YOU water this Clivia?
OK,it's really pot bound, I don't want to repot or it won't bloom next year, but how do I water it? I DID try putting in in a bowl of water for sometime, but the water won't seep in. Now I'm concerned if I leave it in the water too long the tubers will rot. What to do? Thanks, :) Arum
You could submerge the whole pot or put it in the sink/bathtub and stream water over it, wait a little while and do again several times. I occasionally do both with many of my plants and they seem to like it. (I don't have to water for quite a while afterward.)
"I don't want to repot or it won't bloom next year" is an old wives tale. If you are careful and don't disturb the root too much, it shouldn't skip a beat.
First, your clivia can probably go a long time without watering. And, although it may not seem like it, soaking the whole pot for 15-20 minutes will probably add enough moisture for at least a couple weeks.
Second, clivias have roots that are a lot like orchid roots. They don't have tubers. Those roots fill up a pot pretty quickly, and the plants will suffer if you don't repot.
Follow the link below if you want to see some photos of a repotting I did with my clivia. In my experience, clivias will bloom as usual after repotting if you use a fast draining mix.
Here is a link that might be useful: Emergency repotting into gritty mix
Yes, I jsut repotted it, and the watering is no problem. But no blooms next year, especiall since i took a little babyoff it, but the baby died, it was to small, and I should have known better. No real loss, this clivia is a real monster! Thanks for the post. :) Arum
Hi Dena
90% Of your problems with clivias comes from the wrong soil mixes. Get your soil mix�s right and you clivias will have a ferry good chanes to flower the next flowering year. Way do I say this? We have found with our 5000 + clivias that when you press the soil together in your hand. And you open your hand and the soil does not fall apart it will hold to mush water.If the soil stays to long wet and there is not enough air around the roods you will get rood rot. If this happen you will have to plant the clivia out again and wait for the plant to grow new rood.
The main resin way clivias don�t flower after you plant them out is they don�t have enough roods or your soil mix�s is not right and you lose to mush roods. Losing to mush rood = 0 flowers the next time it must flower. Don�t cut the roods if some of them brakes. Break the hall rood of where it grows out of the plant. The plants heal mush faster. Only brake out the roods that have broken or died. If it is not broken leaf it. If you must plant the clivia in a bigger container do it.Way does your clivias flower the main resin the clivia flower is to make seeds. If the plant does not have enough roods it will not flower because it will not be able to take up enough water and food to develop the seeds.
U may ask way I say don�t cut the roods. The resin for this is when you cut the roots of you cut throe the plant cells and when you break them of you tear the plant cells from each other. It heals mush quicker because the plant cells are not damage. But when you cut it with a knife you cut right throe the plant cells. Now when you cut throe the plant cells the plant must grow a new plant cell or it must heal the broken plant cells. This takes longer and you stand a good chance for rood rot or stem rot then.
I have transplanted clivias 3 months before the flowering session for the show we have at our club. And 90% of these plants have flowered and we had win medals with them on the show 3 months later. It all depends on your potting mixes and how much roods your clivia have when you transplant it. If for whatever resin your clivia does not have enough roods to supply the plant with water and food it will not flower the next year even if you transplant it or not. This is what we have experienced in the last 15 years + while working with clivias.
I cannot say these methods will work for other plants but it works for clivias. What all so happens is when the clivia is pod bound for too long you start to loos roods. And if you left it for too long you will probably have to wait 2 or 3 years before it will flower again. Because the plant will have to grow new roods it all depends on how much roods the plant have lost. We follow these methods I have mentioned here because it works for us and it keeps our expensive collectors plants happy as well.
Swerer, I enjoyed reading your post as well as every one here! It's been a while since I posted , but still enjoy seeing what I read.
Hello Ohio:-)
I use straight bark in mine. I also use bark mulch which can be found at any local big box store. I find the roots on mine very white and full. I can go days without watering or water almost everyday. It is mixes that allow good air exchange that allow me to do so.
I also find that even though I may do a re-pot, I still get flowers the following year if the roots are very happy:-)

Fargo dike removal could start soon
FARGO - Clay dikes could soon be disappearing from Fargo streets, a labor that will take 25,000 dump-truck loads to accomplish.
Dikes will start disappearing as soon as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completes agreements with contractors, said Jeremy Gorden, Fargo's senior engineer in charge of streets.
He expected the work could start early this week.
A spokeswoman for the corps said this morning an announcement will be made when the contract process is finalized.

How to Organize Finances with FreshBooks
When I was approached to do a review of FreshBooks, it couldn't have come at a better time. I have to admit, I've never been good with organizing my finances beyond Excel. I tried another name brand accounting product on two different occasions, and both times gave it up because I could never reconcile my accounts correctly. Not to mention that there was no suitable import option for PayPal with it either. Since I love to do everything else on the web, FreshBooks seemed like the best choice … [Read more...]

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Certified criminals make up 28% of Headingley's population
Statistics Canada's census figures for a community include prison populations within its borders.
In the case of Headingley, for which the head count came out at 3,215 in Stats Can's 2011 survey, that number would have included about 730 individuals who then made their home at Headingley Gaol.
Thus the incarcerated crowd made up about 22% of the Headingley population at that time. Since then, the new women's prison has come on stream with its 211
occupants and the number at the men's facility has grown to 817.
With the ongoing influx of newcomers moving to Headingley of their own volition, the conventional population has also likely expanded by a hundred or so. The total population is now probably around 3,600.
Crunching these numbers we get 28% ne'er-do-wells in our midst.
That's a pretty sizable presence of potential volatility in a small community.
But no one seems to mind.
Should we?
The men's prison — properly known as Headingley Correctional Institution —houses "minimum, medium and maximum security" offenders. Eight hundred and seventeen of them are stuffed into a building that was meant for only 458.
Although opened only last year, the women's facility, with a capacity of 190 inmates, is already 11% over quota.
Plus prison unrest in Headingley is not exactly a rarity.
Headingley Gaol recorded four revolts in the decade following its construction in 1930, and one more in each of the three decades up to 1970. It experienced further disturbances in 1973 and in 1981 and a major riot in 1996.
The 1996 outbreak lasted 24 hours. The RCMP and police dogs were brought in to help restore order, and about 70 firefighters were called upon to quell blazes set by the rioters. No one was killed and there were no escapes, but eight guards and 17 inmates were hospitalized with injuries, which included finger amputations and an attempted castration.
The gutted prison building took a year to rebuild at a cost of $10 million. In 2000, another $17 million was spent to enlarge the premises and improve control of high-risk inmates.
Incidents at the prison, some involving significant property damage, escapes and lockdowns, have continued to occur, though nothing approaching the intensity or scale of the 1996 ruckus.
With modern, efficient law-enforcement resources within ready availability, maybe concern about violence spilling over into your neighborhood from nearby prison facilities is unwarranted. Even from overcrowded prison facilities.
