Carnival Victory Cruise Review by Sparkleee: Decent cruise with awesome itinerary
Overall Member Rating
Decent cruise with awesome itinerary
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
We took a taxi from San Juan airport to the port. Embarkation was a little tedious given the long lineups, but it may have been due to the time we arrived. Don't forget you're allowed to bring 2 bottles of wine with you on board - you can pick these up at the liquor store on the 2nd floor of the cruise terminal itself. You can also bring bottled water and/or pop on board with you. Once we were settled in, we left the ship for about an hour to walk around the port area.
We stayed in a balcony cabin on the Spa Deck. The cabin itself was very spacious and we will always pick a balcony cabin going forward. When we arrived, the toilet seat was dirty - we didn't notice it right away but later noticed it had been cleaned properly. That was a little off-putting! The bathroom was a little small but this is to be expected on a ship. The cabin had thin walls - we could hear our neighbours and we could also hear people talking above us. This didn't really bother us but may annoy others. More The Serenity Deck above us was a hidden gem. Perfect secluded area for relaxing with a book, sun bathing, or using the adult-only hot tubs.
We were not very impressed with the dining. The food at the buffet was okay but nothing special. We definitely got tired of the buffet food within a day or so - we're not picky eaters. The lineups at the buffet were always very long. The dining room offered better options but nothing was spectacular. Service was always great.
Entertainment was sufficient for us - we always found something to do. The comedy club was lots of fun - Happy Cole put on a wonderful show! We went to the nightclub a few times as well - loved the music. They do play a lot of reggaeton music - so this may not be for everyone, but we really enjoyed ourselves. The dance floor was half empty on some nights, but I do think this depends on who is on the ship during your specific cruise. The shops on board will match prices at the ports. We purchased some watches on board - got awesome deals. It's worth checking out the shopping on board.
Service was always wonderful. Please keep in mind that you will be charged auto-gratuity when you settle your folio. This is something we were not aware of.
We disembarked in St. Kitts so cannot comment on the disembarkation process back in San Juan.
Overall this cruise was a good value for money. You get to see 5 islands in 7 days! Less

Publisher's Description
Looking upon Christian life as a spiritual journey, Ben Campbell Johnson discusses the importance of prayer for those who want to continue their progress toward God. He shows that the life of prayer involves all the human faculties--reason, imagination, emotion, and will. As ways of deepening knowledge and love of God, he considers meditation and contemplation and gives helpful suggestions for their practice. He shows how a deeper awareness of God has social implications and leads to a vision of a transformed world. Johnson discusses his own need for a guide on the spiritual journey, illustrating how such a companion can help others. He emphasizes the importance of keeping a journal and gives practical help in getting started with it.

A's Extra Bases Too Much for Cubs to Overcome at Riverview Park
Christhian Perez tossed four innings of one-hit shutout ball in relief, Robert Martinez hammered an RBI triple and a double and scored a run, Chris Wolfe drilled two RBI singles, and Brett Vertigan smacked a solo home run, leading the Athletics to a 5-2 victory over the Cubs in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #6 at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.
Rashad Crawford belted an RBI triple and a single, stole a base, and scored a run for the Cubs in a losing cause.
RHPs Trevor Graham and Erick Leal "piggy-backed" for the Cubs and threw a combined 7.2 IP, allowing all five runs (four earned), 10 hits (including two doubles, two triples, and a home run), and two walks, with nine strikeouts.
The way things are playing out so far at EXST, it appears very likely that Graham and Leal will form 2/5 of the Boise starting rotation when the NWL season commences next month, with LHP Tyler Ihrig and RHPs Trevor Clifton and Zak Hermans being other 3/5 (at least until one or two of the better college pitchers selected by the Cubs in next month's First-Year Player Draft get stretched-out to start).
The Cubs have now lost six straight Cactus League EXST games, and after thirty games (halfway through the Cactus League Extended Spring Training schedule), the Cubs record stands at 11-18-1.
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1. Jeffrey Baez, RF: 0-2 (L-7, BB, BB, F-7, 2 R)
2. Rashad Crawford, CF: 2-4 (1B, 3B, P-6, K, R, RBI, SB)
3. Oliver Zapata, LF: 0-3 (K, F-9 SF, 1-3, K, RBI)
4. Rony Rodriguez, 1B: 0-2 (F-9, HBP, 5-3, BB, SB)
5. Mark Malave, C: 0-3 (BB, 4-3, P-3, 4-3)
6. Dalfis Ortiz, 2B: 1-4 (K, K, 2B, K)
7. Tyler Alamo, DH: 1-4 (F-9, 4-3, 6-3, 1B)
8. Jesse Hodges, 3B: 0-4 (4-3, K, F-9, K)
9. Bryant Flete, SS: 0-4 (K, 3-U, 4-3, 4-3)
1. Trevor Graham: 4.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR, 2/6 GO/FO, 52 pitches (30 strikes)
2. Erick Leal: 3.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R (3 ER), 1 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 1 BALK, 3/2 GO/FO, 68 pitches (44 strikes)
3. Alberto Diaz: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 2/1 GO/FO, 14 pitches (10 strikes)
SS Bryant Flete - E-6 (missed catch - dropped line drive allowed batter to reach base safely)
Mark Malave: 1-1 CS, 1 PB

it's part of the reason i don't think he'll ever hit for much average, though i expect him to do better than what he's doing right now. i see him as a .250/.330-ish avg/ob% type, but with the upside of playing good D at 3rd and being able to hit 25+ HR. he swings hard and it's not wild, but it's not precise.
you can stick that at 3rd and deal with it until it's time to pay him over $10m a year multi-year (if he ever develops enough talent to become a guy you'd pay that kind of loot, multi-year...he's still got things to prove).
If he learns how to hit, he
If he learns how to hit, he could be something special. I want this kid playing every day, and see what Mueller can do with him. Right now, he seems to always be swinging for the fences. Early in the year he did hit that rather awesome opposite field homer and in that case he seemed to just be going with the pitch. For all we know he's up there hacking because he figures it's the best he can do timing wise until he can see more pitches on an every day basis. It really is sheer idiocy to not have him in there every day. The argument that the other journeymen should be in there, at all, at third, is ludicrous. Why try to get more ABs for guys who are going to get you low level prospects at best?
Yeah. He is 1 behind Rizzo in
Yeah. He is 1 behind Rizzo in HR and also 2nd in RBI on the team. I'd like to see him up there and settling in too ... Maybe he'll always have that caveman hack but I'd like to see if he can relax and go opposite field once in a while too.

One was not just opposite
One was not just opposite field but it looked like he really went with the pitch to just try to drive it, not necessarily trying to clobber it out of the park. Lots of times he seems to be trying for a home run. That's just inexperience. I think the guy can hit, we just need to see him in there every day to find out for sure.

according to the MLB Network,
according to the MLB Network, ninja is not happy about the front office wanting to talk to him about his pitching (specifically his last appearance, and pitch counts) stating...more or less...that the front office needs to mind it's own business and let himself + the people wearing uniforms worry about that rather than the suits.
According to the local media
According to the local media yesterday, ninja and the front office are on the same page regarding this. Throwing 126 pitches is ok occasionally, but not all the time. He is a well conditioned and experienced athlete, knows the limitations of his body, blah blah blah. Also, if the front office wants to talk to someone, the should start with the fucking manager.
It appears Crawford's bat is
It appears Crawford's bat is coming alive as of late. Maybe it is all coming together for him.
Instead, think of Jon Daniels and the Texas Rangers. Daniels became the general manager of the Rangers in 2005 and soon after rebuilt the team by discarded expensive, older players (Mark Teixeira, Adrian Gonzalez, Chris Young) for younger players (Neftali Feliz, Alvis Andrus, Akinori Otsuka) and the Rangers invested heavily in their farm system.
Teixeira was 27, Gonzalez 23 and Young 27 at times of trade...maybe not the best examples.

Re: Samardzija pitch count non-issue/actual story
Samardzija tells front office to butt out although says that he actually never heard anything from front office, just maybe something a reporter said. Hoyer says it was never an issue and him and Renteria just said it's something to not do every time out which everyone agreed upon.
Ninja's just touchy that he doesn't have his 9-figure deal yet...
with the way other contracts
with the way other contracts are working out, we may be looking more at something like a 9 year, 10 figure deal

What is it with Hammel always starting well and sucking after a couple months?
Ahhh...sad. Lke a few of you here, I saw him play during the '69-'71 seasons. He was the "hot Zobrist" for the club in August/September of '69 while everyone else was fizzling out...
I predict: "They will play hard and if they give the same effort every day, they'll win a lot of games."
OK, boys -- find a way to win today.
There's some BA is missing too, here's all signing bonus BA doesn't have some:
-6 Hockin $241,000 (slot price), 7 Cruz $75,000 (saved $110,00), 8 Ridlings $120,000 (saved $53,800), 9 Robinson $30,000 (saved $132,300), so far the Cubs have saved an extra $297,100
per Muscat...
Zobrist (2B), Hayward (CF), Bryant (3B), Rizzo, Contreras (LF), Montero, Russell, Coghlan (RF), Hammel
Also -- despite losing 6 of their last 10, the Cubs picked up a game on both STL and PIT during that period. Weird, given that they swept PIT and were swept by STL.
Also, I'd like to know if there are numbers to back up my suspicion that there are a lot more fast starts than late June romps. This seems like a time where everybody not named Willson Contreras is looking a little tired and/or banged up a bit.
For once, the Cubs got off to a fast start. Seems like I've been waiting for that for 50 years.Everybody is really gunning for this team, too. It's their playoffs.
He reminds me of a little of a young guy currently on the Cubs' DL, who is also tank-like in appearance.
draft signings are trickling in...rounds 6-9 are signed + a random slew of others.

Former Major League All-Star Jim Hickman dies at 79
Yep...sort of. Matheny says Rosenthal will no longer pitch the 9th, and they will mix/match Oh, Siegrist and Broxton.
Duane Underwood now 0-5 with a 5.44 ERA for Tenn. Urp. Warren not sharp at Iowa tonight. When will Cease and Hudson be ready?
On a positive note, Jiminez with his 10th HR tonight. He has a .924 OPS -- the only player in the league with an OPS over .900. Leads the lead in 2B, SLG and OPS, tied for the league lead in HR and 3rd in Avg. Nice!
- The pressure of going for the regular-season wins record is now gone.
- Joe will come up with more wacky dress-up ideas for the team to wear after they lose their next get-away game.
- There is more clarity on Spencer Patton.
- We play the Reds next. They aren't very good.
- We'll have at least a 9 game lead after today.
EDIT: - Contreras looks like the real deal.
Other than that, not much -- nasty stretch. Two ugly losses in the last 4 games.
Ugh -- give Lackey a 4-1 lead, you hope for better.
Joe: "We lost. They beat us. Now where's my '09 Guigal Bordeaux glass...?
I forgot how rail thin skinny Carl Edwards Jr. Is - he threw some nasty stuff - hope that continues

From its inception, Guix has had a thorough test suite—something that's not only reassuring, but also the thing that allows for fearless evolution of the code. That we didn't have this safety net when hacking on the whole operating system, GuixSD, made it uncomfortable and more risky. We are now addressing the problem with the introduction of system tests, closing one of the major roadblocks towards 1.0.
Before going into details, let me recap the sorts of testing that already occurred in Guix land.
Guix's test suite currently contains almost 600 unit tests. Each one of these stresses one particular function or subset of the functionality of Guix. This covers core package management functionality such as package builds, utility modules such as monads or the public key infrastructure (PKI) used for authenticating binaries, maintenance tools such as lint and the importers, as well as the command-line interface.
Since Guix provides Scheme modules for use both in the package management front-end and on the "build side", the latter is also tested. This includes part of the build systems, and helpers like our ELF validation module.
Then come the software packages that Guix ships. All of the packages in the distro are under continuous integration on the 4 supported architectures (32-bit and 64-bit Intel compatible, as well as MIPS64 and ARMv7.) Our build farm serves the resulting binaries, which users can choose to download as substitutes for local builds. Our build server, which currently runs an instance of Hydra, always shows the number of succeeding/failing builds on its dashboard. That way, breakage introduced by changes in the package collection is always rapidly detected. This is a direct benefit of the functional packaging model.
Additionally, our policy is to always run each package's test suite (typically "make check") as part of its build process, unless there is a serious technical obstacle to doing that. That way, we can, and do catch integration issues, incompatibilities, and plain bugs before they hit users.
So far, so good. Now, what about GuixSD itself? GuixSD did not have an automated test suite until now. What it did have, though, is the ability to instantiate an operating system in a virtual machine (VM) or in a container. You would write your operating system declaration in a file, then run, say:
This gives you a script to launch a VM running an instance of the OS declared in 'my-config.scm'. Already pretty convenient! And indeed, even more so back in the days when we were eating a fair amount of dog food. In fact, that's how we ate our first dog food dishes, and the VM infrastructure was the fork and knife that made it more tolerable.
So what could we test exactly? Roughly, we want to test that the instantiated system behaves according to the source 'operating-system' declaration: that user accounts are all there, that system services are running as expected, that all of the configuration is taken into account.
To do that, we need to run the system under test in a VM, but we also need to instrument it. We use QEMU to run our VMs, and QEMU along with the Linux virtio-serial module nicely supports communication between the guest operating system and the host, a strategy also used by NixOS' test driver. Concretely, we define a "marionette" service, which hooks a Guile read-eval-print loop (REPL) inside the guest. This allows the host to evaluate arbitrary code in the guest VM.
Now we can write build processes (aka. "derivations") that will:
Thus, a system test to make sure the 'uname' system call returns something that matches the OS declaration looks like this:
There are interesting things going on here. First, while this is all Scheme code, there are in fact three tiers or strata of code at play here: the code that produces the OS declaration and the derivation, the build code of that derivation—the test—embodied in a g-expression, and code sent from the host to the guest VM via 'marionette-eval'.
Using Scheme all the way means we can share code, use the right tools such as the SRFI-64 test framework here, pass values from one tier to another, and so on. And of course, being a full-blown language rather than shell scripts or similar means we have a rich and semantically-clear interface at our fingertips: we can directly access the data structures that matter rather than grepping the output of high-level commands. As an example, we can directly query the system service manager right from Scheme, which is often useful in system tests.
Guix now includes the test infrastructure described above; running "make check-system" runs all the currently defined tests. Currently we have tests for basic functionality. This includes making sure that all the system services declared are available and running. We have tests for specific system services such as the mcron job scheduling daemon—inspired by your parents' cron, but with a powerful Scheme interface—and Avahi and its name service switch (NSS) integration.
Last but not least, we have tests of the full GuixSD installation procedure, which turned out to be more involved than the other tests. This works by running the GuixSD installation image in a VM, using another VM image as the target installation media, and finally booting the newly-installed system.
All the tests are automatically run on our build farm (see here, here, or there), which provides quick feedback. One step closer to 1.0!
GNU Guix is a transactional package manager for the GNU system. The Guix System Distribution or GuixSD is an advanced distribution of the GNU system that relies on GNU Guix and respects the user's freedom.
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language. GuixSD offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration management, and is highly customizable and hackable.
GuixSD can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine. It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el and armv7.
Today's exercise is in the style of Project Euler, so the rules are that your solution must not use more than a minute of computer time and that you can't peek at the solution until you have the answer yourself.
Some numbers have the curious property that when they are squared, the number appears in the least-significant digits of the product. For instance, 6252 = 390625, and 71063762 = 50543227109376.
What is the sum of all numbers less than 1020 that have this curious property?

John Cook is a mathematician and programmer who runs a fascinating blog that I frequent.
Cook recently had an article about the prime factors of telephone numbers. He explained that, for 10-digit telephone numbers as used in the United States, the average number of distinct prime factors is 3.232 and the distribution is between 1 and 5 distinct prime factors about 73% of the time.
Your task is to write a function that determines the number of distinct prime factors of a number, and use that function to explore the distribution of the number of distinct prime factors in a range of telephone numbers. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

We are delighted to announce GNU Guile release 2.1.3, the next pre-release in what will become the 2.2 stable series.
This release rewrites the ports facility to better support non-blocking concurrent input and output. See the newly rewritten "Input and Output" section of the manual for all details, and the release announcement for a download link.
Here is Sakamoto's algorithm for calculating the day of the week, taken from the comment that introduces the code:
Jan 1st 1 AD is a Monday in Gregorian calendar.
So Jan 0th 1 AD is a Sunday [It does not exist technically].
Every 4 years we have a leap year. But xy00 cannot be a leap unless xy divides 4 with reminder 0.
y/4 – y/100 + y/400 : this gives the number of leap years from 1AD to the given year. As each year has 365 days (divdes 7 with reminder 1), unless it is a leap year or the date is in Jan or Feb, the day of a given date changes by 1 each year. In other case it increases by 2.
y -= m So y + y/4 – y/100 + y/400 gives the day of Jan 0th (Dec 31st of prev year) of the year. (This gives the reminder with 7 of the number of days passed before the given year began.)
Array t: Number of days passed before the month 'm+1' begins.
So t[m-1]+d is the number of days passed in year 'y' upto the given date.
(y + y/4 – y/100 + y/400 + t[m-1] + d) % 7 is reminder of the number of days from Jan 0 1AD to the given date which will be the day (0=Sunday,6=Saturday).int dow(int y, int m, int d) { static int t[] = {0, 3, 2, 5, 0, 3, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2, 4}; y -= m < 3; return (y + y/4 - y/100 + y/400 + t[m-1] + d) % 7; }
Another description is given here.
Your task is to write a program that implements the day-of-week algorithm shown above. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
There's two ways to look at this recent Programming Praxis exercise: implementing a beginner level statistics function or creating a magical crystal ball that can predict past, present and future! I chose to approach this problem with the mindset of the latter. Let's make some magic!
The algorithm we're tackling is linear regression. I managed to skip statistics in college (what a shame!), so I don't recall ever being formally taught this technique. Very roughly, if you have the right set of data, you can plot a line through it. You can then use this line to predict values not in the data set.
The exercise gave us this tiny, manufactured, data set:
x y 60 3.1 61 3.6 62 3.8 63 4.0 65 4.1
With linear regression you can answer questions like: what will be the associated value for say, 64, 66 or 1024 be? Here's my implementation in action:
A few words about the screenshot above. You'll notice that I'm converting my data from a simple list to a generator. A generator in this case is a function that will return a single element in the data set, and returns '() when all the data has been exhausted. I chose to use a generator over a simple list because I wanted to allow this solution to scale to large data sets.
Below you'll see a data set that's stored in a file and leverages a file based generator to access its contents. So far, I haven't throw a large data set at this program, but I believe it should scale without issue.
The call to make-crystal-ball performs the linear-regression and returns back a function that when provided x returns a
guess prediction for y. What? I'm trying to have a bit of fun here.
Looking around on web I found this example that uses a small, but real data set. In this case, it compares High School and College GPA. Using linear-regression we're able to predict how a High School student with a 2.7, 3.0 or 3.5 GPA is going to do in college. Here's the code:
;; http://onlinestatbook.com/2/regression/intro.html ;; http://onlinestatbook.com/2/case_studies/sat.html (define (gpa-sat-test) (define data (file->generator "gpa-sat-data.scm" (lambda (high-gpa math-sat verb-sat comp-gpa univ-gpa) (list high-gpa univ-gpa)))) (let ((ball (make-crystal-ball data))) (show "2.7 => " (ball 2.7)) (show "3.0 => " (ball 3)) (show "3.5 => " (ball 3.5))))
And the answer is: 2.91, 3.12 and 3.45 respectively. So yeah, that's good news if you were dragging in High School, you're GPA should climb a bit. But High School overachievers should beware, your GPA is most likely to dip. D'oh.
Below is my implementation of this solution. You can also find it on github. As usual I find myself preaching the benefits of Scheme. The code below was written on my Galaxy Note 5 using Termux, emacs and Tinyscheme. With relative ease I was able to implement a generator framework that works for both lists and data files. I'm also able to leverage the Scheme reader so that the data file format is trivial to operate on. Finally, I wrote a generic sigma function that walks through my data set once, but performs all the various summations I'll need to calculate the necessary values. In other words, I feel like I've got an elegant solution using little more than lists, lambda functions and sexprs. It's beautiful and should be memory efficient.
Here's the code:
;; https://programmingpraxis.com/2016/06/10/linear-regression/ (define (show . args) (for-each (lambda (arg) (display arg) (display " ")) args) (newline)) (define (as-list x) (if (list? x) x (list x))) (define (g list index) (list-ref list index)) (define (make-list n seed) (if (= n 0) '() (cons seed (make-list (- n 1) seed)))) (define (list->generator lst) (let ((remaining lst)) (lambda () (cond ((null? remaining) '()) (else (let ((x (car remaining))) (set! remaining (cdr remaining)) x)))))) (define (file->generator path scrubber) (let ((port (open-input-file path))) (lambda () (let ((next (read port))) (if (eof-object? next) '() (apply scrubber next)))))) (define (sigma generator . fns) (define (update fns sums data) (let loop ((fns fns) (sums sums) (results '())) (cond ((null? fns) (reverse results)) (else (let ((fn (car fns)) (a (car sums))) (loop (cdr fns) (cdr sums) (cons (+ a (apply fn (as-list data))) results))))))) (let loop ((data (generator)) (sums (make-list (length fns) 0))) (if (null? data) sums (loop (generator) (update fns sums data))))) ;; Magic happens here: ;; m = (n × Σxy − Σx × Σy) ÷ (n × Σx2 − (Σx)2) ;; b = (Σy − m × Σx) ÷ n (define (linear-regression data) (let ((sums (sigma data (lambda (x y) (* x y)) (lambda (x y) x) (lambda (x y) y) (lambda (x y) (* x x)) (lambda (x y) 1)))) (let* ((Sxy (g sums 0)) (Sx (g sums 1)) (Sy (g sums 2)) (Sxx (g sums 3)) (n (g sums 4))) (let* ((m (/ (- (* n Sxy) (* Sx Sy)) (- (* n Sxx) (* Sx Sx)))) (b (/ (- Sy (* m Sx)) n))) (cons m b))))) (define (make-crystal-ball data) (let* ((lr (linear-regression data)) (m (car lr)) (b (cdr lr))) (lambda (x) (+ (* m x) b)))) ;; Playtime (define (test) (define data (list->generator '((60 3.1) (61 3.6) (62 3.8) (63 4.0) (65 4.1)))) (let ((ball (make-crystal-ball data))) (show (ball 64)) (show (ball 66)) (show (ball 1024)))) ;; From: ;; http://onlinestatbook.com/2/regression/intro.html ;; http://onlinestatbook.com/2/case_studies/sat.html (define (gpa-sat-test) (define data (file->generator "gpa-sat-data.scm" (lambda (high-gpa math-sat verb-sat comp-gpa univ-gpa) (list high-gpa univ-gpa)))) (let ((ball (make-crystal-ball data))) (show "2.7 => " (ball 2.7)) (show "3.0 => " (ball 3)) (show "3.5 => " (ball 3.5)))) (gpa-sat-test)
Today's exercise is in two parts, first a commonly-seen programming exercise and then a variant on it; the origin of the exercise is certainly someone's homework, but since school is out for the year it doesn't matter that we do the exercise today.
First, write a program that, given an array of integers in unsorted order, finds the single duplicate number in the array. For instance, given the input [1,2,3,1,4], the correct output is 4.
Second, write a program that, given an array of integers in unsorted order, finds all of the multiple duplicate numbers in the array. For instance, given the input [1,2,3,1,2,4,1], the correct output is [1,2,1].
Your task is to write the two programs that find duplicates in an array. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
Linear regression is a widely-used statistical technique for relating two sets of variables, traditionally called x and y; the goal is to find the line-of-best-fit, y = m x + b, that most closely relates the two sets. The formulas for computing the line of best fit are:
m = (n × Σxy − Σx × Σy) ÷ (n × Σx2 − (Σx)2)
b = (Σy − m × Σx) ÷ n
You can find those formulas in any statistics textbook. As an example, given the sets of variables
x y 60 3.1 61 3.6 62 3.8 63 4.0 65 4.1
the line of best fit is y = 0.1878 x − 7.9635, and the estimated value of the missing x = 64 is 4.06.
Your task is to write a program that calculates the slope m and intercept b for two sets of variables x and y. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
Christian Goldbach (1690-1764) was a Prussian mathematician and contemporary of Euler. One of the most famous unproven conjectures in number theory is known as Goldbach's Conjecture, which states that every even number greater than two is the sum of two prime numbers; for example, 28 = 5 + 23. We studied Goldbach's Conjecture in a previous exercise.
Although it is not as well known, Goldbach made another conjecture as follows: Every odd number greater than two is the sum of a prime number and twice a square; for instance, 27 = 19 + 2 * (2 ** 2). (The conjecture is sometimes stated as every odd composite number is the sum of a prime number and twice a square, since it is trivially true with 0 as the square root for all prime numbers; alternately, it is sometimes limited so that the number being squared must be positive, in which case there are some odd primes that can be so expressed.) Sadly, it is easy to find a counter-example that disproves Goldbach's other conjecture.
Your task is to write a program that finds the smallest number that disproves Goldbach's other conjecture. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
Today's exercise demonstrates that it is sometimes possible to do a lot with a little.

We studied discrete logarithms in two previous exercises. Today we look at a third algorithm for computing discrete algorithms, invented by John Pollard in the mid 1970s. Our presentation follows that in the book Prime Numbers: A Computational Perspective by Richard Crandall and Carl Pomerance, which differs somewhat from other sources.
Our goal is to compute l (some browsers mess that up; it's a lower-case ell, for "logarithm") in the expression gl ≡ t (mod p); here p is a prime greater than 3, g is an integer generator on the range 1 ≤ g < p, and t is an integer target on the range 1 ≤ g < p. Pollard takes a sequence of integer pairs (ai, bi) modulo (p − 1) and a sequence of integers xi modulo p such that xi = tai gbi (mod p), beginning with a0 = b0 = 0 and x0 = 1. Then the rule for deriving the terms of the various sequences is:
Splitting the computation into three pieces "randomizes" the calculation, since the interval in which xi is found has nothing to do with the logarithm. The sequences are computed until some xj = xk, at which point we have taj gbj = tak gbk. Then, if aj − aj is coprime to p − 1, we compute the discrete logarithm l as (aj − ak) l ≡ bk − bj (mod (p − 1)). However, if the greatest common divisor of aj − aj with p − 1 is d > 1, then we compute (aj − ak) l0 ≡ bk − bj (mod (p − 1) / d), and l = l0 + m (p − 1) / d for some m = 0, 1, …, d − 1, which must all be checked until the discrete logarithm is found.
Thus, Pollard's rho algorithm consists of iterating the sequences until a match is found, for which we use Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm, just as in Pollard's rho algorithm for factoring integers. Here are outlines of the two algorithms, shown side-by-side to highlight the similarities:
# find d such that d | n # find l such that g**l = t (mod p) function factor(n) function dlog(g, t, p) func f(x) := (x*x+c) % n func f(x,a,b) := ... as above ... t, h, d := 1, 1, 1 j := (1,0,0); k := f(1,0,0) while d == 1 while j.x <> k.x t = f(t) j(x,a,b) := f(j.x, j.a, j.b) h = f(f(h)) k(x,a,b) := f(f(k.x, k.a, k.b)) d = gcd(t-h, n) d := gcd(j.a-k.a, p-1) return d return l ... as above ...
Please pardon some abuse of notation; I hope the intent is clear. In the factoring algorithm, it is possible that d is the trivial factor n, in which case you must try again with a different constant in the f function; the logarithm function has no such possibility. Most of the time consumed in the computation is the modular multiplications in the calculations of the x sequence; the algorithm itself is O(sqrt p), the same as the baby-steps, giant-steps algorithm of a previous exercise, but the space requirement is only a small constant, rather than the O(sqrt p) space required of the previous algorithm. In practice, the random split is made into more than 3 pieces, which complicates the code but speeds the computation, as much as a 25% improvement on average.
Your task is to write a program that computes discrete logarithms using Pollard's rho algorithm. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
The high school two blocks from me just had their annual picnic, my youngest daughter just graduated from college, and my primarily academic readership suddenly dropped in half (history suggest it will stay low until mid-August), so it seems to be the right season to have a simple data-processing task involving student test scores.
Given a list of student names and test scores, compute the average of the top five scores for each student. You may assume each student has as least five scores.
Your task is to compute student scores as described above. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

A closer look—continued
Let's take a last look around the Obsidian Series 250D before we fill 'er up with components.
Yep. Those drive trays are pretty easy to get to.
Next to them lies the PSU compartment, which features a removable bracket that mounts onto the back of the power supply. (The bracket is then fastened to the back of the case via thumb screws.) Thanks to this bracket, the PSU can be inserted from the outside with very little pain. Most ATX enclosures require the PSU to be inserted from within the chassis, but the 250D isn't roomy enough for that—and even if it were, the procedure would be more awkward. The only downside of inserting the PSU from the outside is that, before the unit can go in, the power cables must be pushed through the PSU compartment and into the main chassis.
Above the storage and PSU compartments are the gap for the motherboard's I/O cluster and the expansion slot covers. Note that those are flush with the back of the case. On conventional ATX enclosures, the motherboard is recessed about a half inch from the rear panel, and the I/O cluster and expansion area site inside of a little nook. Not so on the 250D. This nook-less arrangement saves a little space inside the case, but it means expansion card brackets protrude out the back and must be screwed down outside the enclosure. (Note the little ledge at the top right of the picture.)
Finally, the 250D's rear panel plays host to two 80-mm fan mounts. Corsair doesn't include 80-mm fans in the box, but one would expect the stock 140-mm and 120-mm spinners to do a good job without any backup.
The 5.25" bay is bolted down to the frame with four screws. Those can be removed to excise the bay. Doing so frees up some space for a larger CPU heatsink, and it's also handy during the assembly process, when one generally needs as much room to maneuver as possible.
The Obsidian Series 250D has dust filters, naturally. We already saw the front filter on the previous page, but there are three additional ones. The left and right side panels both have their own filters, which stick to the metal with magnets and can thus be removed (and cleaned) without much trouble.
The fourth and final filter lies underneath the power supply. It slides out easily, even with the case screwed shut.

Armed robbery up by 42%- police
The Guyana Police Force yesterday announced that up to the end of February this year, armed robbery had risen by 42% compared to the same period last year.
In a statement, it also disclosed that an overall increase of 1% in serious crimes was recorded at the end of February 2014 in comparison to the same period in 2013. The total number of reports of serious crimes made between January 01 and February 28, 2014, was 642 compared to 637 for the same period in 2013. Some of the offences in this category are murder, robbery under arms, robbery with violence, larceny from the person, break and enter and larceny, burglary, rape and kidnapping.
A total of 24 murders were recorded at the end of February 2014 in comparison to 20 murders for the same period in 2013, representing a 20% increase. The police said that of the 24 murders at the end of February 2014, 4 were of the disorderly type, 5 were committed during armed robberies, and 3 were domestic related, while the other 12 are so far undetermined.
At the end of February, armed robbery overall has risen by 42%, with 206 reports compared to 145 for the same period in 2013, the statement said. The statistics also indicate an increase of 62% in the number of armed robberies involving the use of fire-arms; and a 12% decrease in armed robberies where instruments other than firearms were used by the perpetrators.

It's amazing how fast things changed for RSL. We were the joke of MLS. Then
somehow RSL made the playoffs in 09 and peaked at the right time to become MLS
champions. Then we became a regular season powerhouse, to concacaf group stage
winners, and now concacaf finalist. If you would have asked me if I thought any
of this would happen 3 years ago I would have said no.
We all stayed behind this team and now we get to enjoy the good times. Welcome everyone who is just now jumping on board but I think those of us that have been behind RSL this whole time are enjoying life a little bit more than the rest right now.

Those RSL soccer fans that are educated in the sport and recognize the big
accomplishments of RSL right now (relative CONCAF stuff and 2011 MLS record as
well). This success would be worth the wait all the more if more fans could be
generated into the mix (more community emotion with more fans).
The local media does not promote this team enough. They justify a lack of interest when there is fence line interest waiting for someone to validate their leery interest. I say leery because to many people in this area are used to jumping aboard a wagon that has the support of their neighbors in the ward so to speak.

Dynamic considerations that should drive sugar reform
Mature industry
Framing the reform of GuySuCo and the sugar industry must necessarily start with an identification of the major dynamics driving both. This week's column identifies the five most important of these. It takes for granted that, after this series of columns, readers would already appreciate the transcending roles of sugar and GuySuCo in the wider Guyanese economy, society and polity.
The most obvious dynamic is that GuySuCo manifests all the frailties facing a firm in a mature industry that is in a terminal phase. This dries up its attractiveness to investors and new talent, while saddling it with the burden of entrenched historic costs.
Second, if we make two heroic assumptions, namely 1) this terminal phase can be reversed and 2) the basis for this reversal is achievement of the targeted production level of 450,000 tonnes of sugar annually – on average, then the data I have represented earlier, shows clearly, this targeted level cannot be attained in the foreseeable future, that is, by 2020.
Over the past decade the trend has been for less sugar to be produced annually, while the cost of production continually rises. GuySuCo's continued production of less sugar annually at a higher unit price has depended on its being able to mobilize bailout funding from the state and the international community. The latter has come mainly as financial support under the European Union's (EU) Sugar Accompanying Measures, designed to compensate for its unilateral denunciation of the Sugar Protocol (SP).
Third, traditionally, sugar has been produced for export outside of Caricom markets. At a target level of 450,000 tonnes annually this is expected to continue. Of note, 1) there is little value added to our export of "raw sugar". 2) most sugar export sales take place in the "managed" portion of the world sugar market. The latter cannot continue indefinitely. The case for the continued treatment of sugar as a "sensitive commodity" in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is under growing pressure from countries wanting to literalize the world market for sugar.
Unfortunately, despite the present behaviour of the world sugar market, typical commodity cycles are likely to continue. These are driven by the dynamics of world market demand and supply. The world demand for sugar has been favoured by 1) starting from a low base in poor countries; 2) population growth; 3) increases in income; and 4) taste.
At the same time world supply is dependent on 1) improved global production and productivity; 2) growing technological improvements and their application; 3) bringing new areas into production; 4) weather; and 5) governmental interventions.
While world commodity prices have been favourable recently, I can assure readers that the historical evidence shows conclusively this is only a phase within the long term commodity market cycle. In other words today we are witnessing a sugar price bubble, which should not be confused as a long term trend of rising sugar prices. With this sobering outlook it is hard to justify the one-dimensional support for producing more raw sugar – a simple transformed primary commodity, for export.
The fourth dynamic to bear in mind is the earlier Booker-Tate episode. Contrary to popular belief this does not conclusively prove private management (foreign) could not contribute to major improvements in the industry. This is because 1) the termination of the Booker-Tate management contract was so contentious; 2) it is difficult for an observer to form a judgement of the industry and the corporation that runs it, when it is so secretive; and 3) the choice of Booker-Tate for the management contract was ill-advised.
It appears that because Bookers was the main owner of the Guyana sugar industry before nationalisation, together with the fact that it is located within the EU may have been seen as a masterful blend of local experience and 'inside' contacts in Europe. These two apparent virtues, were to mind, actually its main weakness. Booker-Take's colonial, and later nationalization experiences, compromised its outlook, loyalties, and behaviour. Furthermore, 'insider contacts' could well turn out to be a two-edged sword, in delicate diplomatic situations, as with the case of the SP.
Local management
The fifth dynamic is that, if truth be told, our experience with local management has been far from stellar. All the board members and top executives of the corporation fall in the category of safe choices. By this I mean, not only persons whom the ruling party could safely rely on to do its bidding, but persons who would distinguish themselves by being pliant to the party's every wish and therefore avoid rocking the boat.
If local management had indeed performed industry-wise, these faults could be discounted, if not forgiven. However, it has not performed and instead has presided over a worsening disaster, since Booker-Tate's departure. As a proud nationalist this is hard to swallow. It becomes palatable only because, like the vast majority of Guyanese, I am aware the choices of managers were strictly confined to ones who are safe.
Moral hazard
What has been particularly aggravating however, are the grouses and complaints reportedly emanating from behind closed doors or the back of the government. These directors/executives' stringent avoidance of self-criticism of either their own management or the owners (government), has not helped in avoiding moral hazard and encouraging excessive outside leadership in the day-to-day running of the corporation. As in the days of private plantation ownership where the private owners held sway over every single matter, state-ownership has given rise to the same plantation behaviours by the government. The corporation is not run on trust from the government, on behalf of the industry's stakeholders and the wider Guyanese public.
There are, of course, several such other dynamic considerations which should guide the reform process for sugar. Enough, however, has been given here to indicate the several deep-rooted drawbacks, which stultify GuySuCo and the sugar industry.
Next week I shall wrap up the discussion on sugar reform.

Teachers who have had affairs post here
Posted in the Huntington Forum
#1 May 22, 2013
My husband cheated on me with a teacher. Why would someone do this? I do not understand.
I did everything for him. I took care of the kids, I took care of the bills, I put up with his mood swings.
He told me I was fat and that his slvt affair partner was in shape and pretty, that really hurt me. I am a little overweight, but who isn't?
He left me, but now she does not want him anymore. He still does not want to come home. How can I make him love me again?
Please help me. I want him so bad it is all I can think about. I need him to love me again. I will lose weight an make myself a pretty woman for him again. How can I go on like this?
Oh I need him. Oh I love him. Oh I want him to come back to my loving arms. I forgive him, I just want him back to be mine again. I do not want him with anyone but me. At 50 years old, what am I supposed to do? I love him so, so very bad. I want him back. I only want his love. I want him back.
How can I get him to see me like the woman he fell madly in love with? He surely cant just give me up can he? Is that even legal? Is there a law against cheating?
It has been a while since we make whoopie, but I will let him use me if he wants to come home. I will even see a doctor if it will help. I want to lock him in with more children but at my age it will not happen. I will even do things for him that I think are wrong. I want him back. How can I get him back?
Someone please help me, I need him. I wonder what he is doing right now. Oh help me please someone. I am nothing without him. Oh my oh my please come home.

If he cheated, you need to move on.....
But, your statement of "i would lock him in with more children", with a mindset like that, I would have left too!!!!! Sorry but it.is the truth, you can't force someone to love you, you will just be miserable your entire life..
#4 May 22, 2013
Just move on with your life it happen to the best of people get your self together for your kid's in the end he will be hurting not you!!!

Fat and needy isn't a great combination.

Lmao! Hehehe-Hahaha. This is funny!
#7 May 22, 2013
Yes, Heartbroken, lose that weight! Go on a diet, go to the gym and workout. At 50 you can look great. Do it. Make other men lust after you. If he sees that, he will want you back. After the attention you get from the other men because you are a 50 year old MILF, you may not be interested in letting him back. You will be able to make him beg.
It will take a few weeks to get into shape, but you can do it . You have motivation. Let us know how it works out.
#8 May 22, 2013
Move on. Sounds like you will be better off.

There's plenty of fish in the sea and there's always some guy that is willing to [email protected] ANY chick... I promise!? But.. Until u stop ur craziness ur not gonna find anybody that'll put up with the psycho crap.
#14 May 22, 2013
Honey, he isn't coming back. You might as well move on, yes it's hard to do at times but seriously would you want him back in the home? Generally if someone cheats once they will do it again. Why do you want him when he doesn't want you and would most likely cheat again if he were back with you. Men cheat for various reasons, some stay in a marriage and some don't. Don't be the woman trying to hold onto a man that only lives with her while carrying on with another woman for years. I have personally seen this very example, she knew he was cheating but neither of them wanted a divorce for financial reasons; everyone knows he cheats on her and has had the same mistress for close to 5 years. I can't imagine the thought process of these people. Good luck to you!
#15 May 23, 2013
it's pretty obvious that this is just a bunch of bullshit. I mean let's get real if you were really in a marriage and your husband was cheating on you and you're asking for advice on topics and it's probably a load of shit. if it is true I suggest you move the f*** on, hire a lawyer, and lose weight
#16 May 23, 2013
I cant help it. He is all I think about. I have neglected our teenage children because I sit around wishing he would come home. Their life has become a life of fast food because I am obsessed with getting him back to my loving arms. WHY DID HE DO THIS? I get so mad but then feel sad for getting angry. I think I should have been sexier for him. I don't know. Everything seems hopeless. Like I am in a hole with no way out. I am just sick of feeling this way. I am hoping that since school is out that they will spend less time together.
#17 May 23, 2013
You admit to neglecting your children you have now, yet want to "trap" this man who clearly doesn't want to be there with yet another child? You are a sad individual, I would count myself lucky that you found this out now before you ended up pregnant and alone instead of just alone.
Suck it up and move on.... He clearly doesn't want to be there. If any of this is true that is...
#18 May 23, 2013
Get yourself some counseling, because it appears you need it badly. To be that obsessed over someone that does not love you, is not good. Move on!!!
#19 May 23, 2013
Sorry, but read - really read what you have written. You need to talk to a real person. I strongly urge you to seek the help of a friend, doctor, counselor, anyone who will listen.
You have children that love you and you need to be there for them.

Federal trial gets underway in Anaheim officer-involved shooting
SANTA ANA – Twenty seconds after a 25-year-old man ran from an Anaheim police officer, who wanted to make a "consensual contact" with him, the man was dead, an attorney for his family told a federal jury Tuesday.
A defense attorney representing Anaheim, the police department and the officer, told jurors that Officer Nick Bennallack's encounter with convicted gang member Manuel Diaz, 25, in a high gang crime area of Anaheim, must be viewed in light of the split-second decisions the officer had to make and not with 20-20 hindsight.
Diaz was shot twice - once in the buttocks and once in the head – by Bennallack on the afternoon of July 21, 2012. Within days, his family filed a civil lawsuit for $50 million, alleging federal civil-rights violations and wrongful death.
The key question before the federal jury: was the force used by Bennallack excessive?
"I am hopeful that you will decide that the use of deadly force by shooting Mr. Diaz in the back and in the head was excessive and unreasonable," family attorney Dale Galipo said in his opening statement in U.S. District Judge James Selna's Santa Ana courtroom.
Galipo said he will ask for "fair and compensatory damages" for the mother, Genevieve Huizar, who cried as Galipo described the shooting.
Defense attorney Steven Rothans told jurors everything changedthe moment Diaz fled from Bennallack and his partner as the officers got out of their patrol car.
People are free to leave in a "consensual contact" with police, "but headlong flight … somebody running in a high-crime area should give you cause for concern," said Rothans, adding Bennallack was convinced Diaz was reaching for a gun when he shot.
"Please keep in mind that Officer Bennallack had literally a split second to make a life-and-death decision," said Rothans, adding the officer fired fearing for his life and that of his partner's.
Galipo said Bennallack did not have to use lethal force, the highest level of force officers are trained to use only as a last resort.
The District Attorney's Office last year cleared Bennallack of any criminal wrongdoing in the incident – as well as another fatal shooting the year before – that helped spark nights of protest in Anaheim during the summer of 2012.

Liam Hemsworth Unfollows Miley Cyrus on Twitter, Is Spotted With Eiza Gonzalez Again
Liam Hemsworth has cut ties with Miley Cyrus on social media following their split. After the "Can't Be Tamed" singer stopped following him on Twitter over the weekend, "The Hunger Games" actor returned the gesture by unfollowing his former fiancee.
In addition, new pictures emerged online showing Liam hanging out again with Eiza Gonzalez, the sexy blonde with whom he was spotted clubbing over the weekend. The two was spotted Monday leaving a residential house in Los Angeles in the same car.
Liam and Eiza, a Mexican actress, were spotted partying at a Las Vegas VIP nightclub on Saturday night, September 14, two days before his split from Miley was confirmed. He was in the Sin City watching the boxing showdown between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Canelo Alvarez.
Miley, meanwhile, was away in Europe to promote her new studio release "Bangerz" due October 4 this year. The former Disney star is reportedly back home in El Lay now, as the Aussie hunk is rumored moving out of the house they shared during their one-year engagement.
Miley, 20, and Liam, 23, hit it off after meeting on the set of their 2009 movie "The Last Song". They were hit with numerous breakup rumors since being engaged in 2012. They were last seen stepping out as a couple in early August at the premiere of his movie "Paranoia".

England physio who broke his ankle slipped because Brazilian groundsmen watered the astroturf, says wife
- Gary Lewin slipped while celebrating Sturridge's equaliser against Italy
- His wife Maggie, 51, blamed groundsmen for watering astroturf by dugout
- The physio had to be stretchered off after fracturing and dislocating ankle
- He was spotted wearing a cast on his leg before flying home from Brazil
- England manager Roy Hodgson said: 'It is the end of the World Cup for him'
The wife of injured England physio Gary Lewin has today blamed his broken ankle on Brazilian groundsmen who watered astroturf in front of the dugout.
Maggie Lewin, 51, said her husband was 'disappointed' to fly home from the World Cup early after he was injured celebrating Daniel Sturridge's goal against Italy in Manaus on Saturday night.
England's own physio had jumped in delight only to dislocate his ankle and also break his tibia and fracture his fibia, Mrs Lewin said.
The 50-year-old was in agony as he received treatment from both FIFA officials and players on the sideline before
he was carried down the tunnel on an orange stretcher.
Mrs Lewin admitted she felt 'slightly sick' as she and millions of others saw her husband badly hurt.
Unlucky: Lewin says his goodbyes to fellow training staff as he leaves the team hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
She will be waiting for Gary when he arrives home in Essex this evening.
According to The Sun she told friends on Facebook: 'Gary is obviously disappointed to be flying home early. The artificial turf was wet where the groundsmen had been spraying.
'He's hopefully being operated on tomorrow night. Just really gutted for him. He's broken the end of his tibia and fractured the end of his fibula.'
The Brazilian groundsmen at the Arena Amazonia have already been widely criticised for the state of the pitch for England's crucial first group game.
Photographs taken during and after the game showed the surface was lifting dangerously and the loose turf could have led to serious injury.
Just hours before the match ground staff were putting the finishing touches to the pitch as they tried to cover up dry grass by painting the brown patches green.
Explaining what happened to Mr Lewin an England source said: 'Gary leapt into the air as Sturridge scored and everyone was leaping about,' said one England source.
The physio was said to be 'gutted' after being stretchered off from the side of the pitch in Manaus on Saturday night.
A source said: 'On the flight home a few of the lads joked with him that he was the one supposed to be looking after them – not the other way round.
'As soon as it happened Frank Lampard was one of the first players who went to help him.
'Gary has been a little sheepish about the whole thing.'
England manager Roy Hodgson confirmed Lewin, 50, had suffered a fractured and dislocated ankle.
He said: 'Our doctor was able to set it in the sense he was able to put it back at the side of the field, but it is the end of the World Cup for him I'm afraid.'

Last night Lewin's daughter Rebecca confirmed her father had left hospital, adding: 'He is just gutted really.'
England captain Rio Ferdinand was forced to apologise after tweeting:
'What happened to running it off??? Our physio has to man up!!'
Less than an hour later he tweeted again: 'Just found out that Gary Lewin's injury was serious so apologies for previous tweets on the injury. My bad.'
Physio Gary Lewin was wheeled through Manaus airport with his leg in a cast today before catching a flight home after slipping over during England's defeat to Italy and fracturing and dislocating his ankle
Lewin was left in pain after standing on the water bottle in Manaus and needed urgent medical treatment
Lad-up: The physio left the playing area on a stretcher after slipping while celebrating Daniel Sturridge's goal
Lewin was stretchered off after he dislocated his ankle by standing on a water bottle while celebrating
Concern: It was a mystery initially who had gone down after Sturridge's goal in the 2-1 loss to Italy
The 37th minute incident saw Lewin receiving medical treatment from both FIFA officials and players before he was ushered down the tunnel
Lewin, who spent 22 years working as Arsenal's physio and has carried out the same role for England since 1996, is due to fly home within the next 24 hours.
The injury to Lewin comes just days after Roy Hodgson's assistant Ray Lewington had emergency knee surgery before England's warm-up friendly in Miami.
Lewington arrived at the Royal Tulip team hotel in Rio de Janeiro last week using a pair of crutches.

ESRG introduced the industrial internet to the marine sector with cloud-based total vessel monitoring and analytics. ESRG's OstiaEdge platform as a service (PaaS), combined with cloud-based data-centers, enable ship managers and owners to have visibility into the performance and health of shipboard equipment from anywhere, including mobile devices. Data is automatically collected, validated and analyzed onboard the vessel and then automatically synched with remote data centers which provide the data, along with automated analytics, in the cloud.
Owners, managers and operators can log in via any internet connected device, anywhere, and use the online automated analytics to understand how the vessel is operating and use that information to make better operations and maintenance decisions. Vessel fuel performance can be analyzed to determine what is driving fuel consumption, which generator configuration is optimal, how fuel efficiency has changed over time or compare multiple vessels across a fleet. Equipment health analytics enable better maintenance planning and can help make the jump from an "operate-break-fix" paradigm to a "predict-optimize-prevent" paradigm. ESRG's platform is in line with the broader industrial internet growth, whereby industrial equipment, including diesel engines, generators, ballast systems, emissions systems, navigation systems, etc, generate huge amounts of data that is used to boost efficiency, prevent unexpected failures and ensure compliance.
ESRG's OstiaEdge platform is specifically designed to overcome the challenges of implementing a cloud-based monitoring and analytics solution in the marine industry and deliver a low-cost, easy to use solution that can provide immediate results. ESRG It does not replace current systems, but rather integrates existing data and automatically analyzes that data in real-time to help optimize equipment efficiency and performance. ESRG's migration to the cloud is part of a continuous improvement roadmap focused on increasing customer ROI by increasing value to the customer while decreasing required customer investment and cost.
