The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

We all nod, acknowledging the inevitable midlife crisis. One made Monica Lewinsky famous, another won an Academy Award for "American Beauty," and the concept is as embedded in our culture as the belief in the power of positive thinking.
But the idea that midlife crises are common is a myth, experts say.

As a group formed in mid-19th century Texas, the Texas Rangers wielded law and established order in the legendary Wild West. Their motto involved shooting first and asking questions later, but the approach was scarcely controversial; in fact, it helped protect the Lone Star State and the lives of innumerable citizens. As originally aired on public television, this historical documentary profiles many of the rangers, including Leander McNally, Jack Hays, and the courageous ranger responsible for ending the crime spree of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The present invention relates to a device to safely feed electricity to low-voltage utilisation apparatuses and it is particularly used in housing and especially in the field of low-voltage lamps.
It is known that in the field of lighting, the use of low-voltage (12-24 volt) lamps is increasing such lamps make it possible to save a great amount of energy. However the use of these lamps, which are still being developed, involves some difficulties due to the necessity of adapting the same to the ordinary-voltage (220 volt) supply mains. Obviously said solution brings about some drawbacks as the cost of the transformers (one for each lamp) greatly affects the cost of the whole lighting unit. In order to avoid each low-voltagelamp needing to be coupled to a transformer, present manufacturers have tended towards feeding devices which, being connected to the ordinary-voltage supply mains by a single transformer, are capable of feeding a plurality of low-voltage lamps.
To this end electrical lines consisting essentially of a support section member to be applied to a ceiling have already been accomplished, the section members being externally provided, on two opposite faces thereof, with two wires extending over the whole length of the rail. In order to allow the lamps to be connected to the electrical lines, suitable adaptors are provided which are engageable with the lines in a removable manner and which exhibit connecting members adapted to connect the wires of the lines to utilisation units such as lamps and the like.
Although the lines show good qualities as to their practical use and operation, they have however some drawbacks. One of them is due to the fact that wires arranged outside can represent a great danger, should mistakes be made in the electric connections at the moment of setting up the line.
In order to eliminate those drawbacks the availability of electrical lines of the above type in which wires are disposed inside the section member as usually happens when rails used for ordinary-voltage (220 volt) supply mains are concerned, would be desirable.
At this point it is also necessary that the adaptors connecting the electrical lines to the utilisation units do not, for the sake of safety, allow the operating interchangeability between low-voltage adaptors and ordinary-voltage adaptors.
The technical problem to be solved is therefore to provide low-voltage rails structured in such a way that the respective adaptors cannot be wrongly connected to ordinary-voltage rails and vice versa.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above specified problem by providing a device to feed low-voltage-operated utilisation apparatuses with electricity which, by the use of electrified rails, is capable of overcoming the above mentioned drawbacks as well as, at the same time, of avoiding the possibility that an ordinary-voltage utilisation unit may be wrongly connected to a low-voltage line and vice versa.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a device to feed low-voltage-operated utilisation apparatuses with electricity which is of easy and cheap construction.
The foregoing and still further objects will become more apparent from the following. According to the present invention I provide, a device to safely feed electricity to low-voltage-operated utilisation apparatuses, of the type comprising a rail which is engageable with an adaptor in a removable manner, through a connection shank. The adaptor in turn is engageable with a utilisation apparatus. The rail has a pair of insulating support elements disposed longitudinally and housing therein by projecting portions, at least two facing low-voltage wires exhibiting contact surfaces with which contact elements are designed to engage. The contact elements are carried by the connection shank of the adaptor and substantially consisting of laminar bodies extending parallelly to said connection shank and substantially flush therewith.
Further features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of a device to feed safety low-tension-operated utilisation apparatuses with electricity, given hereinafter by way of non limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows the device to feed safety low-tension-operated utilisation apparatuses with electricity according to the present invention, partly in section;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a rail being part of the device in question;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an adaptor;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to said figures and particularly to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 globally denotes a device to safely feed electricity to low-voltage utilisation apparatuses. Such a device substantially consists of a rail 2 to which an adaptor 3 is connected in a removable manner. Rail 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) comprises a section member 4 having a box-shaped section substantially in the form of an inverted U, consisting of a base wall 5 and two substantially parallel side walls 6. The side walls 6 are provided, in the region of the base wall 5, with respective extensions 7. The section of the extensions is in the form of an inverted L so that they may facilitate the fastening of rail 2 to a ceiling or to any other support wall. In the region of their free ends the side walls 6 have facing rims 8, one of which is provided with a locating projection 8a, defining a longitudinal opening 4a in the section member itself.
In its inner part, section member 4 is provided with restrained fixing lugs 9 designed to come into engagement, in the region of each side wall 6 thereof, with an insulating support element 10. Each support element 10 is disposed longitudinally in rail 2 by means of two projections 10a. The projections 10a define an engagement housing whose inside accommodates a wire 11. The wire 11 provides a contact surface 11a oriented towards the inner part of the rail.
Advantageously, contact surfaces 11a project towards the inner part of the rail and beyond projections 10a so that they are directly engaged by two contact elements 16 carried by the adaptor 3, as more clearly seen in the following.
Referring particularly to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, adaptor 3 shown by way of example only essentially consists of a cylindrical body 12 and a connection shank 13, coaxially disposed. A utilisation unit such as a lamp or the like (not shown) may be engaged with the cylindrical body 12 on the side thereof opposite the connection shank 13.
The cylindrical body 12 is also provided with a snap-fastening element 14 disposed on its side facing the lower end of shank 13, which is urged upwardly parallelly to the axis of the cylindrical body 12 by an inner spring not shown.
The connecting shank 13 is provided with a hooking element 15 having a pair of radial wings 15a, which is disposed at its end close to the cylindrical body 12. Two radially disposed contact elements 16 lead off from the connection shank 13 through respective apertures; they originally exhibit a laminar conformation extending substantially parallel to the shank 13 itself and substantially flush therewith.
Operation of the device according to the invention described above mainly as regards structure, is as follows.
First of all as previously mentioned, adaptor 3 must be connected to a utilisation unit. For the purpose, after separating the cylindrical body 12 from the shank 13 the electric cables of the lighting unit are introduced into the body 12 and fastened thereto at the inner ends of the contact elements 16. At the end of this operation the shank 13 is fixed onto the cylindrical body 12.
At this point adaptor 3 must be connected to rail 2. For the purpose it is necessary to introduce the shank 13 into the opening 4a taking care that the wings 15a thereof be oriented in the same direction as the opening 4a itself. Afterwards, adaptor 3 is rotated through 90� so that its contact elements 16 get into engagement with the contact surfaces of wires 11 carried by rail 2.
In FIG. 4 an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown. This solution differs from the one previously described due to the conformation of wires 11', which are in the form of a strap, and of the respective insulating support elements 10'. In this case the projecting portions 10a' of the insulating support elements 10' have a hook-shaped conformation so that they may fixedly surround the strap-shaped wires 11'. Thus, the contact elements 16' are shaped in such a way that they project towards the respective contact surfaces 11a', so that they can easily engage with wires 11'.
The invention attains the intended purposes. In fact, the original arrangement of wires 11 as described above allows the opening 4a in rail 2 to be maintained within very reduced sizes so that the introduction of any ordinary-tension adaptor of known type into rail 2 is not possible. Furthermore, the above mentioned arrangement of the wires involves the use of adaptors 3 the contact elements 16 of which extend substantially parallel to the corresponding shank 13 and flush therewith. This particular character makes it impossible to connect, either electrically or mechanically, low-voltage adaptors 3 to currently known ordinary-voltage rails.
It is important to note that the combination between the described arrangement of wires 11 and the conformation of contact elements 16 enables the production of adaptors 3 that can be connected to rail 2 by merely snap-fitting the shank 13 into the opening 4a, differently from the methods hitherto used in which, in addition to the above operation, it is necessary to actuate levers or carry out rotations in order to achieve the same purpose. In fact, both the position and arrangement of contacts 16 provided in adaptor 3 allow said contacts to fit onto the low-voltage wires 11 directly by using their elasticity.
Obviously modifications and variations may be made to the device in question, all falling within the scope of the inventive idea.

Top Stories
The Delhi Development Authority on Friday issued a public notice inviting objections or suggestions to a modification in the Master Plan-2021 which will clear the deck for the construction of another Dilli Haat to come up in East Delhi.
The modification seeks to change the use of a 27,000 sqm plot of land near Akshardham temple and construct a new Dilli Haat there. It will be constructed by the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC). "The Dilli Haat will be constructed by covering the Shahdara Link Drain. The Haat will have maximum ground coverage of 40 per cent and floor area ratio of 40. The maximum height will be 8 metres as per provisions of the Delhi Master Plan,'' an official said.
DTTDC had built a second Dilli Haat in Pitampura and another is slated to open at Janakpuri. The first one is located opposite INA market.
The process of making modifications to the MPD is expected to be wrapped up by August this year, with the revised document being made available to the public by March 2014.
"The Shahdara drain, which will be covered to construct the Dilli Haat, comes under Irrigation and Flood Control department and is located along Noida-Link Road at Mayur Vihar Phase-I. We have issued a public notice seeking comments on change of land use from utility to commercial,'' a DDA official said. To fastrack the review process, the time span for submiting comments has been reduced from 90 to 45 days.

Whitstable Yacht Club news
Reminder - West Quay Boat Moves
Reminder: Any class member with boats and/or trailers on West Quay should move them into the central compound this weekend and position it towards the seaward end of that compound, that is, to the left of the entrance gates. There are no tie down points in the central compound, but the club has provided 42L buckets that can be filled with water or stones and boats can be tied to these. There are also some 25L water containers available that can be filled and used as temporary tie down points. It is recommended that masts are dropped wherever possible. Rubble buckets are stored in the 'maintenance cupboard' in the gents changing rooms where there is also some tie down rope that can be used where needed (please take only what is needed). Filled buckets/water containers should be shared between boats.
The key to the store cupboard is available from behind the bar, and the West Quay compound is now open and available to boats. Any boats not moved this week will be moved by a small working party on Tuesday or Wednesday. Boats will need to be returned back to the end of the West Quay by 12th June.
Whilst it is recognised that this causes some inconvenience to the members with boats stored on the West Quay, the event will provide significant income to the club. More
Peter Raymer
We've recently heard from the daughter of Peter Raymer, and it is with great sadness that we pass on the news that he passed away in his sleep yesterday afternoon. He was a great character and friend to many of us and will be greatly missed.
Steve Gray has kindly written a few words below:
We all knew Peter as the father of the Laser fleet and club legend, and will miss his cheery advice and general chat over a half of cider.
Pete was a lifelong sailor with experience of a wide range of dinghies which he raced to a high level. Whilst he never won the Laser Masters Worlds he came close several times in locations around the world, and would proudly tell you of the race he led by so far the race committee didn't finish him thinking he was a back marker! He made friends everywhere he went and would keep in touch with them from around the world.
His other passions were his family and cars, spending his career in the aftersales and technical departments of several brands - but his soft spot was always for Alfa Romeo. Whilst he spent a fair proportion of his career abroad in Africa (where he built his own Hornet) it was Peter who saw Alfa through the difficult days of the 80's when Italian cars were just a little less than reliable. He was always resourceful and dependable – two of the most important assets for his career.
Peter retired relatively early and was also a widower for much of that time. That gave him the opportunity to sail and travel the world following the Laser Masters circuit with the success previously mentioned. He raced actively at WYC well into his 80's and with success until about 5 years ago - but remained a keen member of the Laser fleet attending socials until just a few weeks ago. He was always the go-to guy when a member of the fleet needed help, ever patient he would explain a carefully thought through solution to your problem.
We will all miss him helping out the Laser fleet and many others around the club – at 89 he contributed so much to many in the fleet and was a friend and example to all. Above all Peter was a gentleman who was respected and loved by us all. More
A weekend of two extremes: The B14 and 505 Opens at WYC!
30 teams from the high performance B14 and 505 classes visited Whitstable Yacht Club on 21st and 22nd May for a combined Open event. The weather for the weekend provided the two extremes that Whitstable has to offer, with high wind and big waves on the Saturday, and very light winds on the Sunday. Whitstable Yacht Club also provided it's signature warm welcome to the visiting sailors with a great onshore experience over the weekend!
Well done to Nathan Batchelor and Sam Pascoe from Tynemouth SC who won the 505s, and to Mark Watts and Chris Bishop from Weston SC who won the B14s. Also, well done to top Whitstable Yacht Club teams of Tudor Owen and Tom Bruton in their 505 and Mark Barnes and Charlotte Jones in their B14, both of whom came 3rd in their classes.
Full reports for the weekend are on Yachts&Yachting, here for the 505s and here for the B14s, and the results are on the WYC website.
Thanks to Mark Barnes for organising the event, and all of the WYC volunteers who supported the event, both on and off the water. Photos by Nick Champion championmarinephotography.co.uk and Stuart France.
Team WYC win the KSSA Topper Team Racing event at Redoubt SC!
WYC cadets Caitie, Max, Tom and Iggy, some of whom had never sailed a Topper before, won the Kent Schools Sailing Association's Topper Team Racing event at Redoubt Sailing Club on Saturday with an unprecedented 1st and 2nd in every race! The win qualifies them for the Eric Twiname Youth and Junior Team Racing event at Oxford Sailing Club in October!
Caitie provided the following report on the event:
We arrived at Redoubt Sailing Club to find a very patchy wind varying between about 10 and 20+ knots. Our first race was against the 3rd New Beacon team and we decided that, out of our team of four, Max, Tom and Iggy would race this race. Our tactic for the team racing was initially to have one person attempting to win the race, and the other two defending. With the gusty wind, our three boats managed to stay upright to get ahead of the other team and we came away with a win of a 1st and a 2nd. Our second race was against New Beacon two and this time Max, Iggy and I were racing. This race was also very gusty making the conditions tricky, but we again managed to come away with a 1st and a 2nd. The third race of the day for us was against the Downs two team. At the start Tom, Max and I managed to hold the other team off from the start line and ended up in a good position to cover them. Tom was unfortunately over the line but Max and I managed to again end up in 1st and 2nd with Tom defending our win. We also won our race against New Beacon One which put us in a great position going into our last race against Downs One. At the start of the last race we decided to each mark a member of the other team so we would have the best chance of winning this race. We managed to time our start very well and having covered the port and starboard side of the course, came to the top mark with a good lead of first and second. We successfully defended this lead which resulted in a win of the event, followed by Downs Two in second and Downs One in third place.
We would like to thank Redoubt Sailing club for hosting the event, all the helpers who helped make the event happen, KSSA, all the parents and staff, and the competitors for making it a great event.
Well done team WYC!

West Quay - Temporary Clearance
This year WYC has agreed to support two local events for Vattenfall and the Whitstable Oyster Festival utilising the West Quay storage area.
The Vattenfall event is in June and the Oyster Festival is in July. As a result West Quay will need to be cleared of all boats and equipment prior to each event and whilst it is recognised this causes some inconvenience the two events will provide significant income to the club. This year we have access to the central compound on West Quay so boats and equipment will just need to be moved from the end of the quay to the centre area.
The first of the events is for Vattenfall on 6th/7th June, boats and equipment will need to be moved from Saturday 28th May to Monday 30th May, and must be returned to West Quay after the event and by the weekend of June 11th/12th.
The Oyster Festival is scheduled from July 23rd and the dates for boat movement for this event will be published never to the event.
WYC Pushed the Boat Out
Whitstable Yacht Club held an RYA Push The Boat Out event on Sunday, to give people new to the sport a sailing taster and encourage them to take up the sport. We had over 50 people through the door and out onto the water, with people setting sail in a Wanderer, Topaz, Dart 18 or Xenon for the first time! Everyone had a great time, and at least seven new members joined on the spot, with lots more taking away the membership forms with the intention of joining at a later date.
Thanks to all of the members volunteered today, talking to the visitors, helping them get the right kit, and getting them afloat, but special thanks must go to Patty Baker who organised the event and kept it running smoothly.

At the October Special General Meeting, the club decided to apply for Sport England grants to redevelop parts of the club. Two grants were applied for, with several hundred hours of effort from WYC Committee members and subject matter experts put into the development of the applications.
We were told in January that we had been unsuccessful for the larger Sport England 'Improvement Fund', and disappointingly this week we have received notice that we have also been unsuccessful with the smaller Sport England 'Inspired Facilities Fund'. Although a lot of work went into putting together a strong bid for the work, Sport England received over 600 applications seeking £42m of investment against an available lottery budget of only £10m for 'Inspired Facilities', and ultimately our project goals did not align as closely to Sport England's as some of our competition for this funding.
There has been a lot of work done on these funding bids, which has been very helpful in clarifying the club's objectives and needs, especially around its facilities. Whilst we do not want to loose the momentum that we've built up, the General Committee will now need to spend some time re-assessing funding options and our priorities in any changes needed.
Report on the cruise to Shipwright's Arms, Faversham Creek, on Sat 6th May
Seals on The Swale
Light winds and bright sunshine set the tone for Saturday's cruise to Hollow Shore with four Wanderers, a Stratos and Topaz taking part with 14 club members aboard the boats.
In fact, winds were so light that not long after setting sail, we could hear the postponement signal for our colleagues back at WYC.
We made toward Shell Ness on smooth waters, on a rising tide in ideal cruising conditions, and were thrilled to spot seals basking in the mouth of The Swale. Blessed with natural curiosity and sociability, several of them swam close by our little fleet as we passed by to moor to the bank near the Shipwright's Arms.
Birdsong, distant church bells and long awaited warm sunshine provided the perfect backdrop for a picnic lunch and a pint.
The flooding tide saw our boats rise quickly in the water - or in one case, some considerable bailing effort to stay above the water - and we set off for home in contrasting conditions with increased wind and quite a swell. Those of us that had peeled off layers at the Shipwrights were glad of them on the way back as we all got a good sea spray. The Topaz capsized and although righted quickly and crew safely aboard, it was a useful reminder of the importance of keeping in sight of each other and ready to help if needed.
A bumpy but exhilarating sail home after a delightful day that certainly seemed to meet with the seals' approval.
Many thanks to Richard Maltby for organising, briefing and preparation, Jo Phillips for this report, and Susan Seller for the photo.
If you'd like to take part in the next cruise, this time around the Isle of Sheppey, on the weekend of 16th July, details will be posted here nearer the time, or contact Richard Maltby at firstname.lastname@example.com! More
Advice for Race Officer and Assistant Race Officer duties
If you have a Race Officer or Assistant Race Officer duty coming on the Committee Boat (all races in the schedule that show (CB) after the race name), please ensure that you bring appropriate clothing. You may need to wade into the water to get into the Safety Boat to take you out to the boat, so should wear wetsuit boots (or shoes you don't mind getting wet!) and appropriate trousers/shorts. You should also wear your buoyancy aid or life jacket, and dress for the weather - it's usually colder on the Committee Boat than on shore, and there's not much shade from the sun or rain. You should also allow for extra time to get out to the Committee Boat.
But, don't let this put you off. Doing a duty from the Committee Boat should be a fun experience, and gives you a unique view of Whitstable and the race! For more information and guidance about doing your Race Officer or Assistant Race Officer duty, see the 'Notes for ROD' at wyc.org.uk/members/Club_Rules. More
Cadets Programme for Friday May 6th 18.00 - 20.00
Please note as from this week Cadet sessions are now scheduled for Fridays at 6.00 pm. Unfortunately this Friday the session time coincides with low water which precludes organised sailing with RIB support. With the forecast of pleasant weather the committee has decided instead to hold a Bar-B-Q with beach activities for cadets, parents and all the family.
Congratulations to the 17 Cadets and Instructors who did so well to sail in the challenging conditions last Saturday afternoon after the club race. More

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.
