Automatically Dissecting Android Malware
The Android galaxy is plagued with a host of fake apps solely devised to rob smartphone users of their ID, their data or their money. Studying this type of infection vector, a group of French scientists is coming up with a string of innovative test and visualization tools meant to help security analysts investigate suspicious software, explore its inner-structure, force sleeping code out of dormancy and produce an intuitive graph representation of what the malware is really up to.

And so there were Sweetpeas, and God saw that they were Good. And He said, Be fruitful and multiply, and they didn't need asking twice. And God tried to Divide the Sweetpeas from the Other Plants, and gave up, and the Sweetpeas creepeth along the earth and in the air and in the Firmament. And God ran out of Vases.
I had at least two large vases a week from these sweetpeas, plus the huge bunches I ended up giving away to neighbours, friends and my sister. I have Julie at Peonies & Posies to thank for this crazy abundance after I closely followed her instructions in this post about sweetpeas.

Amicus Productions
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2012)
Amicus Productions was a British film production company, based at Shepperton Studios, England.[1] It was founded by American producer and screenwriter Milton Subotsky and Max Rosenberg.[2]
Amicus's first two films were musicals for the teenage market, It's Trad, Dad! (1962) and Just for Fun (1963). Prior to Amicus being created the two producers collaborated on the 1960 horror film The City of the Dead, and Amicus went on to make a series of portmanteau horror anthologies, inspired by the Ealing Studios film Dead of Night .[3] They also made some straight thriller films, often based on a gimmicky idea. [4]
Amicus's horror and thriller films are sometimes mistaken for the output of the better-known Hammer Film Productions, to which they are similar in visual style and with which they share many stars, including Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Unlike the period gothic Hammer films, Amicus productions were usually set in the present day. [5]
Portmanteau horror films
Amicus's portmanteau films included Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965), directed by genre stalwart Freddie Francis, Torture Garden (1967), The House That Dripped Blood (1971), Tales from the Crypt (1972), Asylum (1972), Vault of Horror (1973) and From Beyond the Grave (1974). These films typically feature four or sometimes five short horror stories, linked by an overarching plot featuring a narrator and those listening to his story.[6]
The casts of these films are invariably composed of name actors, each of whom play a main parts in one of the stories-a small proportion of the film as a whole. Along with the expected genre stars, such as Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Herbert Lom, Amicus also drew its actors from the classical British stage (Patrick Magee, Margaret Leighton and even Sir Ralph Richardson), emerging names (Donald Sutherland, Robert Powell and Tom Baker), or former stars on the way down (Richard Greene, Robert Hutton, and Terry-Thomas). Some, such as Joan Collins, were in their mid-career doldrums when they signed on with Amicus. [7]
Torture Garden, Asylum and The House That Dripped Blood were written by Robert Bloch, based upon his own stories. An exception was the "Waxworks" segment of The House That Dripped Blood, which was scripted (uncredited) by Russ Jones, based on Bloch's story. Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror were based on stories from EC horror comics from the 1950s.[7] [8]
Other horror films
Amicus also produced some conventional mystery thriller films, such as The Skull (1965), The Deadly Bees (1966), And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973), The Beast Must Die (1974). The Skull was also based on a Bloch story (though scripted by Milton Subotsky). Bloch was also the screenwriter of Amicus's thriller The Psychopath, and the adaptation of The Deadly Bees (based upon H. F. Heard's A Taste of Honey). [1] [9] [10]
Science fiction, espionage, drama
In the mid-1960s Amicus also produced two films based on the television series Doctor Who which had debuted on television in 1963. The films, Dr. Who and the Daleks and Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D., are the only cinema adaptations of the series, made in colour at a time when the series itself was still in black-and-white. In these films Peter Cushing played "Doctor Who", a human scientist rather than an alien, with Who as his actual surname, ignoring the backstory of the TV series.[11] [12]
Amicus also funded and produced films of other genres. Danger Route was a film version of Christopher Nicole's (writing as Andrew York) 1966 spy novel The Eliminator, directed by Seth Holt. Amicus produced a film version of Harold Pinter's play The Birthday Party (1968) directed by William Friedkin. Margaret Drabble's adaptation of her novel The Millstone (1965) was filmed as A Touch of Love (1969), and Laurence Moody's novel The Ruthless Ones (1969) was filmed as What Became of Jack and Jill? [2] [7] [13]
Amicus Productions also produced a small number of science fiction films, with adaptations of several of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.[14]
In 2003, Anchor Bay Entertainment released a five disc DVD box-set of Amicus films in a coffin-shaped container in the UK.[15] In 2005, Amicus was revived to produce homages to the old titles as well as original horror fare. Their first production was Stuart Gordon's Stuck (2007). [7]

Bangdb - part of app process
The embedded version of the BangDB becomes part of client's process. It comes as library (~450k bytes) linked dynamically (or statically) with the client's program. The db can be used as persistent store or as simple cache
The embedded version of the db is released and available freely under BSD license for download
Bangdb - client server model
The db runs as network service and clients access it over the network. The db as service is implemented using the event driven model which supports many thousands of concurrent connections from clients resulting in very high throughputs for both reads and writes
The db can be configured to run completely in-memory or backed with the perstistent data store on non volatile disk
The client server version of the db is released and available freely under BSD license for download
Bangdb - Elastic BigData Space
This provides the single machine view of the entire data cluster where each node runs an instance of BangDB. The data is partitioned in nothing shared manner with each node running the data services for the appropriate data. The data is replicated for high availability and fault masking.
This model scales lilearly with the number of machine in the grid. The high network churning rate can be tolerated using the model where many machines can leave,join or fail at any given time
The in-memory data grid/Elastic data space will be available for review in Nov 2014

Unlock real economic benefits of cloud
Application Perspective
Cost Benefits
Resource optimization
Moving to cloud is happening today and it will be norm in coming days. Applications are either moving to public cloud, to privately hosted one or a hybrid one. All virtualized environment provides elasticity in term of infrastructure provisioning resulting in saving in capex and opex in some way. But it's up to the application to exploit the benefits extended to it by the cloud infrastructure. If application inherently is not capable of growing and shrinking elastically depending upon the load then despite the amount of infrastructure that it can get from the virtualized resource pool, it will budge to scale beyond a threshold point.
Here the application elasticity is required in order to achieve continuous and uninterrupted business in the most cost effective manner and the application elasticity remains mostly in realm of the software developer and not with the cloud provider
The Application architecture is the critical element in order to realize the optimum economic and technical benfits of cloud. The various interesting quotes in this regard are as following;
Traditionally, applications have been built for fixed, rigid and per-provisioned infrastructure. It is critical to build a scalable architecture order to take advantages of a scalable infrastructure - AWS Amazon
Applications architectures are not designed to take advantage of cloud's elastic infrastructure resources to maximize ROI, high availability, performance and scale - Forrester, Apr 2011
Architectural issues are a big reason why relatively few business applications have made the jump to cloud - Forrester, Apr 2011
Performance has been the key to the success for many applications. However, few years back when applications used to run in in-premise non virtualized infrastructure, it rarely mattered if the the performance of the application was 10 percent higher or lower, at least not always visible from the cost angle.
With the virtualized environment in place, one can map from performance to cost saving, especially if the application runs on commodity hardware. 10 percent higher performance could result in around 10 percent saving in cost. Hence more than any time before, performance of the key components and the infrastructure becomes one of the key points for the business and it's applications
The use of commodity hardware with SSD is the key going forward for optimizing the cost benefits. To exploit the fact that the cost of RAM, SSD and Hard Disk are placed in decreasing order, it requires more than to just treat SSD as replacement of Hard Disk. A careful design can configure the use of these three in order to optimize the incurred cost for a given elastic requirements of an application. Treating SSD as RAM+ would help us achieve this, and allowing an application to seamlessly use more or less of any of these entity through a knob would be greatly desired. Thus instead of always looking for a extra machine or RAM, we may look for extra SSD

Three people are dead and at least 15 are injured following a shooting at a high school in Aztec, New Mexico on Thursday morning.
According to reports, Aztec High School was placed on lockdown and evacuated earlier in the day. Authorities said a shooter had been identified but is "no longer with us" and indicated the suspect in question had died.

San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christesen confirmed on Thursday afternoon that the three victims were believed to be students; Aztec Police Chief Mike Heal initially told reporters that two people had been injured, along with the shooter. New Mexico State Police officials later said the shooter was among those killed.
No status update has been given on the 15 people who were injured.
Updated information: 1 suspect shooter is deceased. 2 students are deceased. No other injuries reported. The school has been evacuated. #Aztecschoolshooting
— NMSP (@NMStatePolice) December 7, 2017
Aztec is located in northwestern New Mexico, near Navajo Nation territory. The tribe addressed the tragedy in a statement Thursday.
"It's tragic when our children are harmed in violent ways, especially on school campuses," Navajo Nation president Russell Begaye said. "We express our condolences to those families who have been harmed. Our prayers go out to all those affected by this tragedy and everyone throughout the San Juan County. We are asking for prayers for these families."
Neighboring Bloomfield and Farmington high schools were also reportedly put on lockdown Thursday, as a precaution; the San Juan County Sheriff's Office reminded Aztec residents to stay away from Aztec High School itself.
State and federal authorities said an investigation into the shooting is currently underway.
The incident comes one day after lawmakers on Capitol Hill passed a House bill easing local gun restrictions and allowing concealed carry permit-holders to more easily transport their weapons across state lines. The bill, which was endorsed by both the National Rifle Association (NRA) and President Trump, passed 231 to 198. It now moves to the Senate, where it's likely to be met with fierce opposition.

another great example of knocking down a beautiful building for an ugly disgusting excuse of progress
I am loving this site and these photos! This is the only one where the alignment seems to be off; the rail tracks on Polk St are visible in both photos but heading in different directions. What a shame to have replaced such a nice building with the dreariest block in Tampa. Some hope of progress is visible in the modern pic with the crane constructing the new Encore district in the background.

I love how invigorating and fresh it smells. It doesn't hurt that it also reminds me of candy canes.
Now, there are a lot of recipes out there for "bark" type candy. There's chocolate bark, brownie bark, white chocolate bark, and more, but my family's favorite type is Peppermint Chocolate Bark. We make ours a tad bit differently than traditional bark recipes, because we combine a simple chocolate recipe that we had with our favorite essential oil and some scrumptious candy canes.
If you're ready to take bark to a whole new level, check out the Peppermint Chocolate Bark recipe below. It's not for the health conscious or those who have an aversion to sugar, but it's so darn good. If you'd like to know more about essential oils, email me.
Peppermint Chocolate Bark
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Cooling Time: 90-120 minutes
- 12 T butter
- 1 c white sugar
- 1 drop Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil* (optional)
- 1 sleeve square crackers
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 full-size candy canes, crushed
- Turn broiler on low.
- Cover a parchment paper lined cookie sheet completely with crackers. Try to fill in every nook and cranny with crackers.
- Melt the butter over medium-low heat on the stove top.
- Stir in 1 drop of Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil and sugar. Continue stirring until sugar is melted.
- Pour the sugar, butter, eo mixture over the crackers and spread evenly to cover all of the crackers.
- Place under the broiler for approximately 3 minutes or until just slightly browned.
- Remove from oven and the sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Place back in the broiler for approximately 2-3 minutes or until the chocolate is soft enough to spread.

The Job Search Market is Tough! Let Us Help You
Hi, if you're looking for a job, you know how tough it is in the current disastrous economic environment. Competition has never been fiercer for the reduced number of jobs and you MUST be sharper and more knowledgeable than ever to be considered.
Invariably, it's the "hiring manager" who decides if you get hired and this is the person you must impress. I know, because I've been a hiring manager for over 25 years in both large and small companies, public and private sector, and I've interviewed and hired hundreds of people.
When I say "hiring manager," I don't mean the people in Human Resources and I don't mean the people in recruiting agencies. I mean the managers who are actually managing some part of an organization – these are the people who have job openings to fill.
The hiring manager is the person who makes the final hiring decision. In your job search, this is the person whom you will have to convince to give you the job!
Given this fact, the hiring manager – not the big generic job search sites and not professional recruiters – is the best person to give you advice on how to obtain a new job in the shortest time possible.
I'm currently a hiring manager in a large (16,000 employees) organization and I know what hiring mangers want to see from a job applicant. Plus, I "eat my own dog food". That is, I've used the advice you'll find on this site in my own job searches to successfully find and land a job, so I know it works.
I'll also tell you how to stay out of trouble in your job search, particularly while working online. For example, before beginning an online job search, remember that most employers nowadays scour search engines and social networks for details on applicants. Michael Fertik of Reputation.com recommends using any privacy filters available to protect your online image.
I'll also have advice for you HR Managers out there. As with applicants, online job searches can cause some headaches for HR managers. As a Hiring manager, I've asked my Human Resources Department to use many of these and I know they can deliver a large number of qualified applicants quickly. It can thus be challenging to research so many candidates and you'll need a way to easily get a background check for each of your applicants and make sure they are right for the job.
What you'll find here is a hiring manager's perspective on how to find a job. Much of this advice will be different from what you'll find elsewhere because it's not based on traditional theory about how to find a job. It's based on what hiring managers are actually looking for and where they are looking for it.
To find a job as quickly as possible, you need to know several things:
- How to best organize your job search
- The best ways to find open positions
- The best ways to write your resume and, just as important, your cover letter
- How to increase your chance for an interview when you apply
- What hiring managers are looking for once you're in the interview

HP Z Workstations Pack a Punch with Future-Proof Features
September 21st, 2017 by Susan Smith
Xavier Garcia, vice president and general manager, global head Workstations, HP Inc. and Josh Peterson, vice president product management, Workstations, HP Inc. recently presented a webinar on the new HP Desktop Z workstation family.
HP's focus is on looking into the future trends and workflows for customers. Approach as far as design is performance, reliability and intentional design.
Staying true to its goal, HP has totally redesigned its desktop workstation line, with performance, reliability and what they call intentional design. "We are dedicated to getting the workflows of the future to deliver simulations as soon as possible," says Garcia. The versatility of the products allow the customer to customize to their workflow needs.
Today's family of workstations require features such as simulations, rendering, visual effects and video editing.
Simulations Engineers import data, prepare models, set parameters, and use core counts to process complex algorithms to improve product safety, quality and time-to-market.
Rendering After design and engineering is perfected, high resolution 3D models undergo processor and graphics-intensive rendering in applications from professional providers like Autodesk.
VFX artists use powerful applications like Autodesk Flame to create effects for audiences worldwide and that takes a serious power budget found only in workstations.
Video editing As video editing moves from 4K to 6k to 8k, each increment in pixel rate actually squares, creating massive data sets that require powerful graphics and large amounts of memory to playback in real time.
Three workflows that are important to customers are machine learning, virtual reality and advanced design.
Virtual Reality
HP Announces New HP Z VR Backpack and Mars Home Planet
VR is a place where many developers will create this content. Much like machine learning where you create an environment of high quality content, with a lot of information that has to be added to create to make an immersive high quality environment. VR experience will increase with precision, accuracy, are all factors to consider. In a more traditional market, this is becoming more and more important. They will require the same processes and greater computing power.
In development then put for virtual reality are 3D CAD models that developers build on to make more responsive and engaging. Their deployment in the field is done by trained experts who use the developed content for various purposes such as architecture, retail and other uses.
Machine Learning is another area that HP focuses on. The user will need to take hundreds of thousands of video to teach what it means to scan a product for car identification. It requires huge capacity and graphics power inside the machine in order to perform that process that can take days. Deployment is based on what's happening in the reality of what is learned.
All those considerations have been taken account with these Z workstations. Development requires millions of hours of traffic video footage are input allowing for car identification. This is deployed by using it in the field, to recognize traffic at extremely high confidence levels to produce flow analysis.
Advanced Design
Computational Design applies computational strategies to the design process to solve problems, work within constraints and solve for efficiency. Workflows converge with engineers and designers engaging in cross functions as innovation accelerates.
High Performing PCs
90% of customers are working with assets that are intellectual property that should be secure. Our world threats are increasing and we are responding by using HP protected technologies, how we protect device, user, and data that is managed inside the workstation.
Peterson says HP workstations include the most powerful HP Z8 G4, and HP Z6 G4, and HP Z4 G4, all with new industrial designs, cooling, and that they are the most secure workstations in the industry.
"Attacks on networks and servers have been eclipsed by attacks on the endpoint, which are more successful," Peterson says. "HP has dedicated to PC security, incorporated it across entire PC and industry workstation line, multi-level security from OS and below the OS and BIOS or hardware level as well as at application level above OS. These help protect our customers."
HP is concerned about the risks of customer assets. The loss of data or a customer's entire computer can result in loss of productivity. To add to this concern, are weak passwords, unauthorized access and the ability for hard drives to divulge personally identifiable information.
HP Sure Start Gen3 6
Protects BIOS it's enhanced security features including self-healing regular checks.
Provides hardware based encryption to secure credentials.
Secure Authentication
Offers up to 4 authentication tools for login which makes the workstations up to 1 M times more secure than single login authentication.
HP is touting this Workstation as "the world's most powerful" with its 24 memory sots, up to 4 PCIe storage devices without consuming internal I/O sots, and a 1700w power supply.
Other features include
Inspired by the Nautilus design, the workstation has over 70% increase in thermal sensors, designed to move 33% more airflow gen/gen
The unit has a split chassis architecture, easy carry with aluminum handles, redesigned thermal intakes.
This workstation is designed for artists, developers and engineers who are wanting a single processor machine without the cost of dual processor configuration.
The unit also boasts
This workstation has the same features as the Z6 G4 with these changes:
High Performance Displays
This monitor allows you to view 49 more columns than a standard monitor for better spreadsheet viewing and to use split screens without distracting bezels separating them. Also there is 112% more width for easier video timeline editing with a 4K professional curved display that brings your data closer.
Features include:
Tags: cloud, data, HP Z workstations, LiDAR, location, mapping, maps, navigation
Categories: 3D Cities, 3D designs, aircraft tracking, analytics, asset management, Autodesk, Big Data, climate change, cloud, cloud network analytics, data, disaster relief, drones, emergency response, geospatial, GIS, government, image-delivery software, in car navigation, indoor location technology, indoor mapping, location based sensor fusion, resilient cities

text: Share: Comments Print February 19, 2015 at 1:49 PM Take 2: As M's spring training nears, Dave Niehaus' generosity comes to mind Posted by Paul Barrett Late Mariners play-by-play broadcaster Dave Niehaus before a game at Safeco Field in 2009. (John Lok/The Seattle Times) BY TOM PHILLIPS With spring training just around the corner, you can almost hear the crack of the bats and smell the freshly cut outfield grass from here in Seattle. For many, the coming of a new baseball season heralds the end of dark, dreary winter days and the promise and potential that spring holds. For me, it's a special time where I take a trip down memory lane and recall a moment that will live with me forever. It is a moment that involves a Mariners game in the Kingdome, the kindness of a major-league ballplayer, a Seattle sports icon and my then-2-year-old son, Nicholas. It was mid-April 1997 and somehow I was able to score great seats to an M's game in which Randy Johnson would take the mound against the Kansas City Royals. It was to be Nicholas' first baseball game (he now goes by the name "Nick" and is a sophomore at Syracuse University). To this day I live for father-son and father-daughter moments such as these. Game day arrived and, after loading up on popcorn, licorice and cotton candy at the concession stands, I walked Nick down to our seats, which happened to be just two rows behind the Royals' dugout. We got settled, dived into our treats and watched the Royals' starting pitcher and catcher warm up directly in front of us. I do not recall the pitcher's name, but I will forever remember the catcher's – Mike Macfarlane, a solid veteran on what was at the time a pretty decent team. Just before the start of the game, the lineups were announced; first the Royals, then the M's. After the final Mariners player had been announced (The Big Unit, of course) a massive cannon blast rocked the dome, which was part of the pregame routine back then – something to pump adrenaline into the stands before the first pitch. Unfortunately, the blast did more than pump adrenaline into Nick. It terrified him, causing a complete meltdown — the kind that only a freaked-out 2-year-old can produce. Nothing I did could console him, nor did the actions of well-meaning fans around us, many of whom offered more candy and treats to help take his mind off of what had just happened. Another person who saw what had happened was the Royals' catcher, Macfarlane. Without missing a beat, Macfarlane came to the railing, reached over and handed Nick the same ball with which he had been warming the pitcher up. Nick grabbed the ball, paused for a second, then proceeded to be inconsolable all over again. The noise, excitement and, yes, probably the sugar high, were just too much for him. We ended up leaving the stadium — with the game ball — before Johnson even threw a pitch. We spent the rest of the afternoon in a quiet park near Lake Washington. Still a great father-son day, just not at the ballpark. I was so touched by what Macfarlane had done that I wrote an unsolicited letter to our beloved (may he rest in peace) sports icon/baseball announcer for the gods, Dave Niehaus. I wrote that in a day and age of selfish behavior by spoiled athletes, I was moved by the kindness of a big-leaguer who did something really cool for my son. A couple of days later as I was driving home from the office, I happened to have the Mariners game on the radio. Imagine my surprise when, in the middle of calling the play-by-play, Niehaus read my letter on the air. His effortless, resonant bass tones retelling the story of Nick and my first baseball game together. It was thrilling to hear the story retold by a legend such as Niehaus, but because I was in my car, I had no way of really capturing the moment other than to tell my wife and friends about it later that evening, and to tell Nick about it when he got older. That is until a package arrived at our doorstep a few days later, addressed to Tom and Nicholas Phillips. I remember thinking that was kind of weird, a handwritten package addressed to the two of us. I opened it up, and there inside was a cassette recording of the inning in which Niehaus read the letter on air, along with a note from the man himself saying he thought I might like to have a copy to share with Nick when he got older. Bear in mind I didn't know Niehaus – it was just something he did, one dad to another — without being asked. Today, the baseball that Macfarlane gave us, along with my letter to Niehaus and the cassette recording of the broadcast are safely tucked away in box at home. Testament to the fact that two complete strangers came together to bring me and my son a memory we will treasure for a lifetime. It's a treasure that I think about and reminisce upon every year at about this time. Play ball! Tom Phillips works at Microsoft. He and his wife, Katie, live on Capitol Hill with their daughter Natalie, a Bishop Blanchet High School student. Son Nick is a sophomore at Syracuse University. When they're not rooting for the Seahawks or M's, the Phillips usually can be found enjoying some form of outdoor recreation in central Oregon.

About Vielo
Designed and Built in Britain, with German Engineering.
Vielo was founded in 2017 by Ian Hughes and son Trevor. With over 35 years of experience in the bike trade and working with some of the best, high performance bike brands around the globe has lead us here. This is a real life story about a bunch of passionate people on a mission to create a small range of high performance bikes in an honest way, for British customer, to cope with British riding conditions. Without the marketing hype and without any limitations on performance potential.
Many bike brands that are sold into the U. K. market are compromised on design and detail for U.K. cycling fans. They don't really take into consideration the inadequately maintained tarmac and the state that the British roads have fallen into over the years. Plus the different and varying weather conditions in different regions of Britain.
Ian and Trevor have put together a small team of people and former colleagues they've come into contact over the years. These people are the best in their field and have become great friends and formed an extended family of like-minded people ready to engineer, design, style and work on every detail of the bike and components with passion.
Described as an Indy-Boutique brand, Vielo's is focused on producing products that are brave and exciting. We're not a big corporate brand trying to appeal to mass markets. We focus on engineering led design that's subtly styled and obsessive with detail. You won't find any marketing buzz words or acronyms around our Vielo bike, just solid, honest engineering and design.
The V+1
The V-Plus 1 is a new breed of Road Plus performance bikes for the road cyclist who is fed up with being shaken to pieces on the poorly maintained British roads and who also wants to combine a bit of fun riding on gravel or loose forest roads without the heavy weight of a hard tail mountain bike.
An oxymoron ? Combining intelligent ideas and engineering theories through time and experience have come to together to produce the V-plus 1. Engineering and know-how without limitations. Without anyone saying 'No you cannot do that', because we know we can do it.
The V-plus 1 features an exceptionally light, yet, very strong Carbon fibre frame with clever passive rear suspension built into the rear seat stays. The frame will accommodate 700c road wheels with up to 42 mm tyres to help smooth the tarmac, or 650b wheels with 2.0" tyres for more gravel and off the road tails.
The frame has been engineered and designed for a 1x drive system. This offers a single chain ring on the front, which then means our engineer can make the bottom bracket slightly wider and therefore stiffer than using a double chain ring.
You will notice the frame tube shapes are designed to offer additional lateral stiffness where it is required, plus providing vertical compliance through a clever, custom layup of the highest quality carbon fibres. This attention is also designed and engineered into the front fork, which provides stiffness in the fork crown area to accommodate the extra forces from the front disc brakes, provide razor sharp steering, but also provide comfort designed and engineered into the fork blades.
The fork is also designed to accommodate up to a 180mm mountain bike style rotor with post mount fixing. Ideal if you are carrying additional load for adventure riding.
The smallest details include, brake cable routing that is designed for U. K. standards. The rear brake hose and left hand cables are routed through the down tube on the right side, to make a perfect cable route and balance the right brake hand brake hose crossover to the left side of the front fork. Plus there are mudguard and rack mount eyelets beautifully concealed on the inside of the front fork and rear stays to accommodate a custom made SKS mudguard system. Even the headset bearings have a clever device to help protect the lower headset bearing from being contaminated with grit and dirt. The V-plus 1 frame is fitted with 2 bottle cage mountings on the down tube and seat-tube, plus additional mounting points for a small tool box or a third bottle under the down-tube and a neat mounting for your lunch box to accommodate your energy bars and gels at the front of the top-tube.
The clever design continues on the V-plus 1 frame with integrated stainless steel inserts that help protect the frame against the disc rotor when inserting and removing the front and rear wheel.
CAREFULLY SELECTED PARTS AND CUSTOM COMPONENTS . To complete the V-plus 1 build, we have chosen a range of well known, high performance, high quality, branded parts from DT Swiss, SRAM, Schwalbe, KMC and Fabric. Plus our Vielo custom carbon handle bars, 3D forged alloy stem, Vielo carbon seatpost and custom 'Fast Thread' through axles.
Our special double row bearings allow to use 30 mm spindle cranks with the industry standard Press Fit bottom bracket housing for increased stiffness and less weight.
Plus a unique way to operate the RockShox hydraulic dropper seat post via the left hand gear shift lever with our custom device fitted between the mechanical cable and dropper post. All of this is hidden away inside the frame. If you wish to fit mudguards, we offer custom made SKS mudguards to fit the frame perfectly. There is also a dedicated dropper seat post compatible clamp for a Tubus rack mount. The full spec list is here. V+1 Specification
There are several parts you can choose to customise your bike according to your size or where you ride at no cost option. These include, bar width, stem length and crank length and chain ring size. Also tyre choice from Schwalbe G Zero 1 to G Zero Bite. The different options are listed here. Vielo V+1 Options list
Plus, if you wish to upgrade parts like wheels from DT Swiss to Lightweight, or seat post from Carbon to RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper post, or Fabric titanium rail saddle to Carbon rail saddle, these can be included in you build. If you want to purchase a frame only and choose your own preferred parts and components, please do not hesitate to contact us, or your local Vielo dealer who can advise you which parts and components will work best on your Vielo frame.
Our approach to styling and colour is to be really subtle and understated. You won't see loads of crazy colours and stickers everywhere. We offer the V-Plus 1 in 2 colour ways. Either Light blue with Orange accents, or a very Dark Midnight Blue with Light Blue accents. We have also paid attention to small detailed parts like matching the custom handle bars, stem, spacers seat-post and bearing caps to match together. Even the frame number decals hidden under the bottom bracket match the style of the bike.
The journey of first discovering Vielo bikes, through to making your purchase, then owning your Vielo bike is one we want to make the most enjoyable. We have appointed a small number of Independent Bicycle shops around the country who have been selected for their professionalism, experience and friendship.
Find your Vielo Dealer
You won't find Vielo bikes being shipped in boxes, direct to customers. We make sure the bike is thoroughly PDI checked, correct for your size and your chosen specifications before the bike is handed over to you in the shop. During hand over, the shop staff will talk you though all the operations and functions of the bike so you can enjoy it straight away. Please make sure you read the comprehensive owner's manual so you thoroughly understand all the parts of your Vielo bike and how to look after it.
Please Note: If there is not a Vielo Dealer that is close to you that means a considerable journey to collect your Vielo bike, please contact us. We can discuss with you how we could deliver your bike to an independent bicycle shop that is closer to you. Contact Vielo
When you pick up your bike from your local dealer, it's important you register your bike online to register and activate the extended warranty. Shortly afterwards, and to say thank you for your custom, we will send you a box of cleaning and care products from Crankalicious To help you look after your bike. This registration also signs you up to our exclusive Vielo Owners club so that we can inform you of Vielo meetings around the country, special event invitations and where you can hook up with cycling friends around the country to enjoy riding areas you may not be aware of.
We want to make a community of Vielo owners who can share their favorite local rides, experiences, where the best coffee stops are along their routes etc.
We can also offer professional advice for training, nutrition, hydration, plus after ride cool down and stretching, plus top maintenance tips on how to best look after your Vielo bike.
We are developing new products and bikes all the time and can share with you some behind-the-scenes product development too.

Psalm 3:4 Parallel
CommentaryKeil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament
The poet closes with a practical application to the great of the earth of that which he has seen and heard. With ועתּה, καὶ νῦν (1 John 2:28), itaque, appropriate conclusions are drawn from some general moral matter of face (e.g., Proverbs 5:7) or some fact connected with the history of redemption (e.g., Isaiah 28:22). The exhortation is not addressed to those whom he has seen in a state of rebellion, but to kings in general with reference to what he has prophetically seen and heard. שׁפטי ארץ are not those who judge the earth, but the judges, i.e., rulers (Amos 2:3, cf. 1:8), belonging to the earth, throughout its length or breadth. The Hiph. השׂכּיל signifies to show intelligence or discernment; the Niph. נוסר as a so-called Niph. tolerativum, to let one's self be chastened or instructed, like נועץ Proverbs 13:10, to allow one's self to be advised, נדרשׁ Ezekiel 14:3, to allow one's self to be sought, נמצא to allow one's self to be found, 1 Chronicles 28:9, and frequently. This general call to reflection is followed, in 1 Chronicles 28:11, by a special exhortation in reference to Jahve, and in Psalm 2:12, in reference to the Son. עבדוּ and גּילוּ answer to each other: the latter is not according to Hosea 10:5 in the sense of חילוּ Psalm 96:9, but, - since "to shake with trembling" (Hitz.) is a tautology, and as an imperative גילו everywhere else signifies: rejoice, - according to Psalm 100:2, in the sense of rapturous manifestation of joy at the happiness and honour of being permitted to be servants of such a God. The lxx correctly renders it: ἀγελλιᾶσθε αὐτῷ ἐν τρόμῳ. Their rejoicing, in order that it may not run to the excess of security and haughtiness, is to be blended with trembling (בּ as Zephaniah 3:17), viz., with the trembling of reverence and self-control, for God is a consuming fire, Hebrews 12:28.
The second exhortation, which now follows, having reference to their relationship to the Anointed One, has been missed by all the ancient versions except the Syriac, as though its clearness had blinded the translators, since they render בר, either בּר purity, chastity, discipline (lxx, Targ., Ital., Vulg.), or בּר pure, unmixed (Aq., Symm., Jer.: adorate pure). Thus also Hupfeld renders it "yield sincerely," whereas it is rendered by Ewald "receive wholesome warning," and by Hitzig "submit to duty" (בּר like the Arabic birr equals בּר); Olshausen even thinks, there may be some mistake in בר, and Diestel decides for בו instead of בר. But the context and the usage of the language require osculamini filium. The Piel נשּׁק means to kiss, and never anything else; and while בּר in Hebrew means purity and nothing more, and בּר as an adverb, pure, cannot be supported, nothing is more natural here, after Jahve has acknowledged His Anointed One as His Son, than that בּר (Proverbs 31:2, even בּרי equals בּני) - which has nothing strange about it when found in solemn discourse, and here helps one over the dissonance of פּן בּן - should, in a like absolute manner to חק, denote the unique son, and in fact the Son of God.
(Note: Apart from the fact of בר not having the article, its indefiniteness comes under the point of view of that which, because it combines with it the idea of the majestic, great, and terrible, is called by the Arabian grammarians Arab. 'l-tnkı̂r lt'dı̂m or ltktı̂r or lthwı̂l; by the boundlessness which lies in it it challenges the imagination to magnify the notion which it thus expresses. An Arabic expositor would here (as in Psalm 2:7 above) render it "Kiss a son and such a son!" (vid., Ibn Hishâm in De Sacy's Anthol. Grammat. p. 85, where it is to be translated hic est vir, qualis vir!). Examples which support this doctrine are בּיר Isaiah 28:2 by a hand, viz., God's almighty hand which is the hand of hands, and Isaiah 31:8 מפּני־חרב before a sword, viz., the divine sword which brooks no opposing weapon.)
The exhortation to submit to Jahve is followed, as Aben-Ezra has observed, by the exhortation to do homage to Jahve's Son. To kiss is equivalent to to do homage. Samuel kisses Saul (1 Samuel 10:1), saying that thereby he does homage to him.
(Note: On this vid., Scacchi Myrothecium, to. iii.((1637) c. 35.)
The subject to what follows is now, however, not the Son, but Jahve. It is certainly at least quite as natural to the New Testament consciousness to refer "lest He be angry" to the Son (vid., Revelation 6:16.), and since the warning against putting trust (חסות) in princes, Psalm 118:9; Psalm 146:3, cannot be applied to the Christ of God, the reference of בו to Him (Hengst.) cannot be regarded as impossible. But since חסה בּ is the usual word for taking confiding refuge in Jahve, and the future day of wrath is always referred to in the Old Testament (e.g., Psalm 110:5) as the day of the wrath of God, we refer the ne irascatur to Him whose son the Anointed One is; therefore it is to be rendered: lest Jahve be angry and ye perish דּרך. This דּרך is the accus. of more exact definition. If the way of any one perish. Psalm 1:6, he himself is lost with regard to the way, since this leads him into the abyss. It is questionable whether כּמעט means "for a little" in the sense of brevi or facile. The usus loquendi and position of the words favour the latter (Hupf.). Everywhere else כּמעט means by itself (without such additions as in Ezra 9:8; Isaiah 26:20; Ezekiel 16:47) "for a little, nearly, easily." At least this meaning is secured to it when it occurs after hypothetical antecedent clauses as in Psalm 81:15; 2 Samuel 19:37; Job 32:22. Therefore it is to be rendered: for His wrath might kindle easily, or might kindle suddenly. The poet warns the rulers in their own highest interest not to challenge the wrathful zeal of Jahve for His Christ, which according to Psalm 2:5 is inevitable. Well is it with all those who have nothing to fear from this outburst of wrath, because they hide themselves in Jahve as their refuge. The construct state חוסי connects בו, without a genitive relation, with itself as forming together one notion, Ges. 116, 1. חסה the usual word for fleeing confidingly to Jahve, means according to its radical notion not so much refugere, confugere, as se abdere, condere, and is therefore never combined with אל, but always with בּ.
(Note: On old names of towns, which show this ancient חסה. Wetzstein's remark on Job 24:8 [Comm. on Job, en loc.]. The Arabic still has hsy in the reference of the primary meaning to water which, sucked in and hidden, flows under the sand and only comes to sight on digging. The rocky bottom on which it collects beneath the surface of the sand and by which it is prevented from oozing away or drying up is called Arab. hasâ or hisâ a hiding-place or place of protection, and a fountain dug there is called Arab. 'yn 'l-hy.)

Watering Tips for the Garden
Over the next sixty days we will experience some of the hottest temperatures of the year. Proper watering will be crucial to maintain your garden. The following suggestions may help you with the most important of garden chores.
Water during the early morning to give plants a head start before signs of wilting appear.
Water deeply to discourage shallow root growth. For large shrubs and trees build an earthen berm around the trunk and let the hose trickle 15 minutes for deep water penetration.
For plants in containers consider what type and size pots you have. Porous pots such as terra cotta or moss hanging baskets will wick moisture out of the soil faster than plastic or glazed pots. Larger pots with more soil holding capacity will hold moisture longer.
Consider use of soil polymers such as "Soil Moist" to increase moisture retention.
For flower beds and veggie gardens a top dressing of organic matter such as compost, wood chips or pine straw will act as a blanket to help prevent moisture evaporation.
If your garden has an automatic irrigation system (underground or drip) check to see that all sprinkler heads are operating. Watch for clogged emitters. Soft poly drip lines can easily be damaged by garden tools.
Finally, be proactive. If the forecast calls for an extended heat wave be prepared to do some extra hand watering. Conversely, unusually cool weather will allow you to go longer between waterings saving you time and water.

BRICS Summit: PM to meet Chinese, Russian Presidents
Ashok Tuteja and R Sedhuraman
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, July 6
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will leave for Brazil next week to attend the sixth BRICS Summit to be held on July 15-16. He will have bilateral meetings with President Xi Jinping of China and President Vladimir Putin of Russia on the sidelines of the summit. The meetings would be aimed at further strengthening trade and other ties with the two nations.
This will be Modi's first meeting with Xi, who is expected to visit India later this year. Briefing reporters on the BRICS Summit and the PM's meetings with BRICS and Latin American leaders, Sujata Mehta (Secretary, Economic Affairs) and Dinkar Khullar (Secretary-West in the External Affairs Ministry), said the schedule for the bilateral meetings was still being worked out. "You can be rest assured that there will be bilateral meetings," they said.
The summit would focus on UN Security Council reforms and the proposed BRICS Development Bank and a common fund to meet situations arising from possible liquidity crunch in any member nations of BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
"We will be hoping for an endorsement of the need for UNSC reforms and that is an important issue we will pursue in these discussions," the officials said in response to a question on India's expectations from the meet.
Asked about the likely headquarters and activities of the proposed bank, they said all aspects were still under discussion. It would be a bank giving concessional credit to BRICS members and other developing nations identified by them.
Modi and other BRICS leaders would have a meeting with their counterparts from other nations of Latin America on July 16. The officials said a larger number of leaders had expressed their interest in meeting Modi. The bilateral meetings would be held depending on the convenience of time.
On his arrival in Brasilia, Modi would go to the Presidential Palace where he would have a reception and talks. "The Prime Minister is more concerned about the substance" than other things, they said in response to a query as to whether he would prefer a ceremonial reception or breakfast, the options given by the host country.
On July 15, there would be closed-door discussions between BRICS leaders, besides an open session.
Ex-servicemen write to PM over litigation in SC
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, July 6
Ex-servicemen have expressed concern over growing litigation and appeals in the Supreme Court against disabled and war disabled soldiers by officials of Ministry of Defence and urged Prime Minister to step in to end harassment.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Defence Minister, Law Minister and the three Service Chiefs, the Indian Ex-servicemen Movement (IESM) pointed out that the maximum number of appeals pending in the SC is against disabled and war disabled soldiers against their disability pension benefits amounting to, at times, as little as Rs 1,000 per month.
It is not only financially impossible for soldiers to fight the might of the government at the Supreme Court level but also a morale wrecker to see the establishment fight tooth and nail against its own soldiers, the letter adds.
The IESM said the PM had made it known that he was not in favour of such litigation and this was emphatically highlighted even during his rally for ex-servicemen in Rewari, Haryana.
The ruling party had also made this a part of the manifesto wherein it was emphasised that such appeals would be minimised. However, much against the wishes of the PM and the manifesto, government lawyers were continuing to fight pending cases against disabled soldiers and were also filing fresh cases on the instructions of the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare of the Ministry of Defence.
Claiming that thousands of more such cases were in line to be filed in the SC against relief granted to disabled soldiers by the High Courts and Armed Forces Tribunals, the IESM said many of such cases/appeals were against the concept of "broad-banding" of disability percentage of disabled soldiers, which are already covered under earlier judgments.
Stating that ex-servicemen had high hopes from the current government to look after the welfare and morale of our soldiers and veterans, the IESM said it would not only be ethically and morally, but also legally correct to initiate withdrawal of all such unprincipled litigation so as to boost the spirit of the soldiers and their families, rather than weaken it.
The plea
It has pointed out that maximum appeals pending in the SC are against disability pension benefits to soldiers
It not only affects soldiers' morale but is not financially feasible for them to take on the government in the SC, it says.
Kasab class: Where LeT recruits learn what not to do
Srinagar/New Delhi, July 6
A special "Kasab class" is part of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)'s training module for its new recruits during which they are told about the mistakes committed by Ajmal Kasab during the deadly Mumbai terror attack.
This emerged during interrogation of LeT terrorist Mohd Naveed Jutt alias Abu Hanzala, a resident of Multan in Pakistan, who was arrested by the police in the third week of last month in South Kashmir, official sources said.
Giving details of his background, Jutt told interrogators that his father was a retired Army driver and he, along with his brothers, was part of madrassas which were owned by Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a front for LeT, sources said.
Jutt is the first Lashkar terrorist who has said during interrogation that he had met Kasab, the Pakistan terrorist hanged in November last year after being sentenced to death for his role in the 2008 Mumbai carnage.
Accused of killing many policemen in South Kashmir, Jutt reportedly said he was part of Borevalla Sahiwala camp of the LeT in Multan district of Punjab where he had met Kasab.
Among the mistakes which were pointed out by the LeT in its presentation was the inability of Kasab and his team to destroy the boat that carried them to the Mumbai coast, speaking on satellite phones with real identities, inability to take any hostages and getting arrested, sources said. — PTI
The military seems lost in transition
In view of the military establishment's history of unconstitutional interventions and linkages with religion-based militant groups, the key to the possible dual transition is a Pakistan, which is neither monopolised nor controlled by the Pakistani military establishment
Faisal Sidiqui
Can constitutional legitimacy flow from the barrel of a gun … If reliance on coercive force in gaining power is legitimised or condoned, there can be no rational basis for decrying the assault on the writ of the state by any band of marauders, robbers, adventurers and zealots of varying extremes in the political spectrum."
— Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja
JOHN Mortimer's fictional character, Rumpole (of the Bailey), always introduces his wife not by her name but as "she who must be obeyed". If Rumpole was a citizen of Pakistan, he would certainly adapt the same description to portray the Pakistani military establishment, ie "they who must be obeyed" or maybe, "they who must be feared".
These notions of "obedience" and "fear" attached to the military establishment may be critical to the functioning of any modern army but in view of the political role of the Pakistani military establishment, they are obstacles to the possible dual transition taking place in Pakistan.
The military is adapting to changes, but only in order to remain the same.
The first transition concerns a modern army operating under, and in accordance with, a modern constitutional state; the second pertains to a post-Zia Pakistan with the state neither using nor protecting nor promoting nor tolerating religion-based militant groups. The first will ensure that Pakistan is a normal, modern constitutional state and the second that it is becoming a part of the world community.
In view of the military establishment's history of unconstitutional interventions and linkages with religion-based militant groups, the key to these transitions is a Pakistan, which is neither monopolised nor controlled by the Pakistani military establishment. We can examine five key aspects of this transition.
Foundational realities: Why do serving and retired generals rush to the hospital, when summoned by the courts? In the existential world of the military establishment, the primary source of power and legitimisation is the military institution itself, ie military discipline and rules. All other sources, including the Constitution and law, are secondary. This is their belief, their institutional DNA. It is precisely for this reason that every military coup, or intervention, is based on the false choice between saving the state (as defined by them) and saving the Constitution.
Therefore, the Constitution, independent courts and civilian oversight undermine this existential military world leading to taboo questions being raised regarding the personal and institutional accountability of military personnel and their institutions. It is not surprising that there is a connection between military personnel being admitted to hospital and the institution being subjected to the Constitution and the law.
Military coups: Military coups are bad not only because they are unconstitutional. They are bad because they have not worked in Pakistan as they have failed to provide political stability, a government representative of multiple communities and groups. They are completely unaccountable and have a force-based governing model. In short, they are a failed model of authoritarian governance in Pakistan.
Moreover, like empires, military authoritarian models are no longer in fashion in this post-modern world. Anyone tempted by the recent events in Egypt and Thailand, should remember the institutional and public mobilisation in Pakistan during the 2007-2009 period and the enduring consensus among the main political parties against military rule. Like the Soviet coup of 1991, any future Pakistani coup will face resistance from the judiciary, political parties and civil society.
Politics by other means: Using Article 58 (2) (b) to dismiss political governments during the 1990s, not having martial law administrators but merely a "chief executive" model of military governance in 1999 and a mere 42-day military rule in November-December 2007 show that the military establishment is acting on Tomasi's advice that "everything needs to change, so everything can stay the same".
Moreover, recent events involving their alleged use of an intra-media commercial conflict to impose media restrictions or the alleged campaign against the Supreme Court by targeting a sitting Supreme Court judge known for his integrity and his past record against military excesses eg the initiation of the Musharraf trial, missing persons' cases, audit of intelligence agencies, show that the military is adapting to changes but in order to remain the same.
The new legitimisation: The paradox is that the military establishment's role in the fight against Islamist militants is critical but dealing with this existential threat would also involve the massive transfer of power in areas of internal and external security policy to the military establishment.
The "war against terror", the "fight against the Baloch insurgency" and their role in fighting against various organised violent crimes in Karachi and in other parts of the country, seem to provide a basis for the legitimisation of their dominant political role. Moreover, the present phase of the "war against terror" in Fata may provide a long-term basis of a new legitimisation for them, which will involve tremendous power with little accountability.
Institutional vacuum: The Ministry of Defence is purportedly a department of the government, theoretically controlled by the defence minister and located outside Islamabad — being the main bridge between the civilian institutions and the military. But no one, (including the civilian government and institutions such as the judiciary, GHQ and intelligence agencies), takes the ministry seriously.
Therefore, the critical problem seems to be that there is no permanent institutional structure between the civilian government on the one hand, and GHQ and the intelligence agencies on the other, which allows for an institutional dialogue. The latter would include the articulation of both grievances and perceived institutional interests. Such an institutional vacuum does not allow for a timely, and constant, institutional dialogue, which leads to unnecessary conflicts.
The military establishment seems to be lost in transition. The failure to achieve this transition may lead not to the break-up of Pakistan but to a country which is medieval in its outlook, engrossed in perpetual domestic violent conflicts and a constant migraine for the world. Not a nice place to live even for our brave soldiers.

'Self-reliance Needed in Defence Sector'
SRI NAGAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said self-reliance in defence offset manufacturing was essential and asserted that strong armed forces were necessary "to create an atmosphere of peace, amity and brotherhood in the country".
"Self-reliance in defence offset manufacturing is essential for the security (aatma-raksha) of the nation," Modi said, addressing over 1,000 men and officers of the Army during the "Sainik Samelan" at Badamibagh cantonment, headquarters of the Army's 15 corps here.
To ensure defence production, he said, a major portion of the defence budget had to be spent on the import of weapon systems and equipment. "This is more than the money spent on the welfare of jawans. When the country starts producing these systems, not only the soldier, but every citizen will get motivated. The money saved could be spent on the welfare of the soldiers."
"The country needs strong Armed Forces. All that will not happen unless the borders are secure. To achieve this we need to modernize the security forces and I am for it," he said.
Lauding the sacrifices and selflessness of defence personnel, Modi said, "You have all left your families and are serving in difficult conditions. I assure you that millions of Indians are with you. This support will serve as security for you," he said.

Dask-ML provides scalable machine learning in Python using Dask alongside popular machine learning libraries like Scikit-Learn.
You can try Dask-ML on a small cloud instance by clicking the following button:
import dask.dataframe as dd
df = dd.read_parquet('...')
data = df[['age', 'income', 'married']]
labels = df['outcome']
from dask_ml.linear_model import LogisticRegression
lr = LogisticRegression()
lr.fit(data, labels)
What does this offer?¶
See the navigation pane to the left for a list of categories of functionality.
How does this work?¶
Modern machine learning algorithms employ a wide variety of techniques. Scaling these requires a similarly wide variety of different approaches. Generally solutions fall into the following three categories:
Parallelize Scikit-Learn Directly¶
Scikit-Learn already provides parallel computing on a single machine with Joblib. Dask can now step in and take over this parallelism for many Scikit-Learn estimators. This works well for modest data sizes but large computations, such as random forests, hyper-parameter optimization, and more.
from dask.distributed import Client
client = Client() # start a local Dask client
import dask_ml.joblib
from sklearn.externals.joblib import parallel_backend
with parallel_backend('dask'):
# Your normal scikit-learn code here
See Dask-ML Joblib documentation for more information.
Note that this is an active collaboration with the Scikit-Learn development team. This functionality is progressing quickly but is in a state of rapid change.
Reimplement Scalable Algorithms with Dask Array¶
Some machine learning algorithms are easy to write down as Numpy algorithms. In these cases we can replace Numpy arrays with Dask arrays to achieve scalable algorithms easily. This is employed for linear models, pre-processing, and clustering.
from dask_ml.preprocessing import Categorizer, DummyEncoder
from dask_ml.linear_model import LogisticRegression
lr = LogisticRegression()
lr.fit(data, labels)
Partner with other distributed libraries¶
Other ML libraries like XGBoost and TensorFlow already have distributed solutions that work quite well. Dask-ML makes no attempt to re-implement these systems. Instead, Dask-ML makes it easy to use normal Dask workflows to prepare and set up data, then it deploys XGBoost or Tensorflow alongside Dask, and hands the data over.
from dask_ml.xgboost import XGBRegressor
est = XGBRegressor(...)
est.fit(train, train_labels)
See Dask-ML + XGBoost or Dask-ML + TensorFlow documentation for more information.
Scikit-Learn API¶
In all cases Dask-ML endeavors to provide a single unified interface around the familiar NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-Learn APIs. Users familiar with Scikit-Learn should feel at home with Dask-ML.
