Big Data needs better questions
The term "big data" is much in the news lately – alternatingly touted as the next silver bullet potentially containing answers to myriad questions on natural and human dynamics, and dismissed by others as hype. We are only beginning to discover what value exists in the vast quantities of information we have today, and how we are now capable of generating, storing, and analyzing this information. But how can we begin to extract that value? More importantly, how can we begin to apply it to improving the human condition by promoting development and reducing poverty?
That is precisely the question that motivated the World Bank Group and Second Muse to collaborate on the recently released report Big Data in Action for Development. Interviews with big data practitioners around the world and an extensive review of literature on the topic led us to some surprising answers.

The Smell Of Ink.
Posted 16 July 2010 - 12:14
That got me thinking. Well , I opened a few of my ink and took a few whiff .
Has anyone tried this?
Be careful . I felt a little dizzy after the test. Not sure who's the culprit.
The worst smelling was my Noddler's Tienanmen Red Ink....Strong ammonia smell.
The Sailors , Platinum are equally horrible.
Lamy , Caran d'Ache , Montblanc , Omas...no discernible smell.
Care to share your experience?
Posted 16 July 2010 - 13:05
After a suggestion from a fellow-FPNer, I have been including the smell of inks that I review in my observations.
The intent is to provide a quick, but not too reliable/quantifiable, means of detecting ink spoilage & contamination.
The smell 'test' is also useful to distinguish between an ink that has spoiled and/or is contaminated and ink that has simply decayed (over time).

"The horrible smell of the blue black ink we had to use at school in the 50s has put me off smelling ink for life!"
Oh, yes. I attended public school in the U.S. In the late '50's we used a blue-black ink that was provided by the school. The teacher would fill our little desk inkwells from a huge bottle she kept in a closet. On days when she filled our inkwells, the room was filled with "that ink smell," presumably the phenols. Some of the kids liked the smell. I remember only feeling sick on my stomach. To this day, if I smell that smell I feel sick.

I don't mind unanswered questions and ambiguity. I do mind when it gets stupid though. I mean I go in to a film like Transformers or Battleship expecting stupid but this has wants and tries to be more than that. It just isn't.

I have had a really great experience with your company! I didn't know where to find the part I needed for my vehicle, so was very happy to come across your FaceBook page. The part came in faster than I expected! It was overall one of the best online shopping experiences. Very fast! I will definitely be shopping with you guys again. The part I needed was my passenger car door handle, go figure. With 3 small children at home it was bound to happen I guess, ha! Thanks again for your great work!
Price Quality Average: 4 / 5 starsI ordered a condenser fan assembly and a cooling fan assembly for a Honda. When I received the order, it looked fine. I mounted the condenser fan with no problem, but when I tried to mount the cooling fan, It wouldn't fit. Since I'm a repair shop, I wouldn't have time to return it, and keep my customer satisfied. I ended up doing modifications to get it to fit. After talking to customer service, I found out that my order was received while the company was making a move to a new location. Their new address confirmed this. They were genuinely sorry for the mistake they had made and offered several solutions to satisfy me. Knowing the confusion that comes from moving a company from one location to another, the mistake they made was understandable. One of the things that impressed me about this company, was the packing job on the items. It was the best I've seen in my 40+ years of being a mechanic. They really protected the items that they sent. I will buy from this company again and wilby kenboyd

Vanda coerulea (blue vanda)
Vanda coerulea (Photo: Phil Cribb)
Species information
Vanda coerulea Griff. ex Lindl.
blue vanda, Fa Mui (Thai)
Previously considered to be extremely rare in the wild, this species was, until recently, on CITES Appendix I.
Epiphytic (grows above the ground, using other plants or objects for support) on exposed deciduous trees at elevations of 900–1500 m.
None known.
About this species
Vanda coerulea was formally described by John Lindley in 1847 from the description of a blue orchid found in the Khasia Hills of Assam by William Griffiths. It is a striking species with large, flat, vivid blue, long-lasting flowers. It is greatly prized by growers who have used it extensively in breeding to produce deep blue and purple hybrids.
Discover more
Geography and distribution
In the wild, Vanda coerulea grows on exposed deciduous trees (primarily oak) at elevations of 900–1500 m. It has been recorded from India (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland), Nepal, Burma, northern Thailand, and southern China (Yunnan), and is also likely to occur in Bhutan, Laos and Vietnam.
The striking blue flowers of Vanda coerulea are its most recognisable characteristic, with blue pigmentation only seen elsewhere in this genus in V. coerulescens, V. tessellata, and V. testacea.
The leaves are leathery and strap-like and attached to prominent leaf sheaths (part of leaf stalk that covers and rises up from the stem). The flowers are around 13 cm across and notable for their small lip (labellum), approximately 2 cm in length, an unusual characteristic for this genus, shared only with the similarly pigmented, closely related, but much smaller flowered, V. coerulescens.
The flower spikes of V. coerulea are occasionally branched, and bear more flowers than is usual in this genus (20–30 per plant, on multiple flower spikes). All characteristics plus the species' cold tolerance (due to the elevation of its native habitat) make it highly desirable to orchid hybridisers.
Pink and white forms also occur in nature – the white forms being the most pure white flowers found in the genus.
Kew's research into the genus
The molecular phylogenetic analysis (a DNA-based 'family tree') of the genus Vanda has been the subject of a PhD project at Kew and will form part of the monograph on the genus, to be published shortly. Recent molecular work at Kew has shown that this species is more closely related to another blue vanda, Vanda coerulescens, than to any other Vanda species – a relationship not previously considered.
Threats and conservation
A number of factors led to Vanda coerulea being placed on CITES Appendix I in the 1970s. It was considered extremely rare in the wild, having only been recorded in the Khasia Hills of Assam, where it was over-collected and put at further risk by local charcoal production using the oak trees on which it grows.
Its geographical range is now known to be wider than originally thought, and it is relatively common and widespread in the Himalayan region. Consequently it has recently been removed from CITES Appendix I, although it faces continued threats from illegal wild collection and habitat destruction and the species remains on CITES Appendix II.
Vanda coerulea is a spectacular ornamental and widely used by orchid breeders to produce a range of hybrids. Recent laboratory research indicates that extracts from V. coerulea may have potential use in anti-ageing skin treatments.
Growing in the wild at relatively high elevations for this genus, Vanda coerulea is adapted to low night-time temperatures and cannot be easily cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It requires high light levels to flower and may flower freely 4–5 times a year in optimal conditions.
The hybridisation of V. coerulea, particularly with the large-flowered pink and gold Philippines species Vanda sanderiana, formed the basis of modern Vanda breeding, which is extremely important in many countries of South-East Asia and Florida, USA.
This species at Kew
Pressed and dried specimens, and specimens preserved in spirit, of Vanda coerulea are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers from around the world by appointment. The details of some of these, including images, can be seen online in the Herbarium Catalogue.
Blue vanda seedlings are being grown behind-the-scenes at Kew but are not yet big enough to be put on display or to flower.
Vanda orchids in Kew's Tropical Extravaganza
The Tropical Extravaganza festival at Kew always includes a range of spectacular deep purple vandaceous hybrids that have Vanda coerulea in their parentage. The 2012 exhibition, which ran from Saturday 4 February until Sunday 4 March, included an archway comprised of vanda orchids.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Marco Scutaro is the most consistent No.
9 hitter in the American League, even if his recent numbers
indicate otherwise.
Scutaro hit a tiebreaking two-run single with two outs in the
eighth inning to lead the Oakland Athletics to a 4-2 win over the
Anaheim Angels on Wednesday night.
Scutaro, batting just .161 over his last 15 games, singled to
right against Scot Shields (5-2) to snap an 0-for-8 skid and give
Oakland its fifth win in seven games.
Scutaro is batting an AL-best .311 when in the ninth hole, and
.195 in other spots in the order.
"I've been kind of struggling the last two or three weeks,"
said Scutaro, who became the A's starting second baseman after Mark
Ellis went out with a shoulder injury in spring training. "It's a
long season. You just keep battling. It always feels good when
you're struggling at the plate and get a big hit like that."
Scutaro's big hit came a night after rookie shortstop Bobby
Crosby hit a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning of the
A's 5-4 win -- showing that the two inexperienced middle infielders
are becoming more reliable every day.
"It's amazing," manager Ken Macha said. "We talked about
Crosby last night and tonight it's Scutaro."
Chad Bradford (4-4) pitched two-thirds of an inning for the win,
and Octavio Dotel worked the ninth for his second save in three
opportunities since being acquired from Houston in a three-team
trade last Thursday.
Shields' lone two losses since Sept. 11, 2002, have been to the
"I got myself in a jam in (my) first inning and got away with
it," Shields said of the seventh. "You can't give them too many
chances like that. We've hit a little bump in the road and we have
to fight through it. We're going to turn this thing around. We're
going to be all right."
Adam Kennedy hit a tying two-run homer in the fifth for the
Angels, who lost their third straight and fifth in seven games.
A's starter Barry Zito pitched seven strong innings, but didn't
get enough run support to get a decision. He's winless in the last
four starts.
Zito sat in the dugout crossing all his fingers on both hands
hoping for a run in the seventh -- and a win. Eric Karros was also
in on the finger-crossing.
"He wanted to do this thing, and I kind of joined him," Zito
said. "It didn't work. I won't do it again."
Oakland had runners on the corners with two outs in the inning
and Jermaine Dye at the plate facing Shields, who surrendered a
homer to Dye last Thursday. But Dye struck out swinging.
Zito lost his last two decisions and hasn't won since beating
Cincinnati 10-6 on June 8. The left-hander, who won the AL Cy Young
award in 2002, has struggled with location. He looked better
Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits, striking out four and
walking two.
Macha said before the game Zito needed to be better early in
games, and keep from falling behind. Since San Francisco jumped out
to a five-run lead -- all unearned runs -- in the first inning of
Zito's previous outing last Friday, he has responded well. And he's
relaxed, too.
"A lot of times if you give up a lot of runs early, you just go
out and pitch," he said. "It takes you into attack mode."
Zito got a 1-2-3 first, then gave up two singles in the second
but pitched himself out of the threat. After Kennedy's single
leading off the third, Zito retired six straight before Robb
Quinlan walked in the fifth. Kennedy connected on a 1-0 pitch two
batters later for a two-run shot to right.
Angels starter John Lackey gave up seven hits and two runs in
six innings.
Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia called a team meeting after the
game to discuss what's been going wrong.
"We need to pick things up," he said. "We need to play
better. We've been a little disjointed. We're having a rough spell.
We definitely have to pick it up, and I'm sure we will."
The A's took a 1-0 lead on Mark McLemore's RBI single in the
third, then loaded the bases in the fourth on singles by Dye,
Erubiel Durazo and Adam Melhuse. Eric Byrnes hit a sacrifice fly to
right to score Dye for a 2-0 lead.
The A's evened the season series between the AL West rivals at
6-6. Anaheim swept Oakland in a three-game series here April
Game notes
Zito is 10-5 in 18 career starts against the Angels -- his
most wins against any club but Texas. He has 12 victories vs. the
Rangers. ... Angels DH Tim Salmon didn't play after becoming sick
during the day with what manager Mike Scioscia called flulike
symptoms. ... The game drew 35,016, putting the A's over the
million mark (1,032,303) in attendance. ... In 18 starts at 3B in
place of injured Gold Glover Eric Chavez, McLemore is batting .290
(18-for-62) with 15 walks.
