Sweating is a perfectly normal function of our body. It helps us cool down when it's hot or humid out or we exercise. Some of us sweat (a lot) more than others. This condition is known as excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis. This can be triggered by certain factors. Smoking, certain foods or physical activities(or lack there of) all influence our sweating and odor.Purax Antiperspirant Roll On Extra Strong, being clinical strength, targets the excessive sweater. It uses Aluminium Chloride (15%) as its active ingredient. This is well proven to be a powerful and popular, long-lasting, key ingredient in a lot of antiperspirants.
Features of Purax Antiperspirant
True Extra Strength
The great thing about Purax Antiperspirant Roll-On Extra Strong is that it lives up to its name. The reason for this is that it was made specifically to take care of underarms that are overly sweaty.
Unlike other antiperspirants that would require you to reapply on a regular basis, with Purax Antiperspirant Roll On differs. A single application is enough to shield your underarms from excessive sweat for up to one week, depending on your body chemistry. Even taking a bath with it on doesn't reduce its' efficacy.
Quick and Convenient Application
As previously mentioned, only have to apply the Purax Antiperspirant Roll-On Extra Strong once a week. Having said that, applying it is a process that's not cumbersome at all.
Simply give three swipes onto the underarm area before sleeping, and you're all set and good to go. No need to deal with soaking wet wipes, or broken sticks, or sachets that won't keep shut. All you need is a good dab on the area of concern. You have to make sure the area dries before putting any clothing on or hopping into bed, otherwise, it will rub off.
Made Especially for the Underarms
Roll-On antiperspirants are not new at all. For underarm use, however, this is the optimal type given that you would just have to take the lid off and give a dab or give it a good rub on the underarm area. This is enough to guarantee that you would be protected from embarrassing and unhygienic excessive underarm sweating.
Dermatologist and FDA Tested and Approved
This is one of the things you ought to check whenever you're on the lookout for any product you have to use on your body. With the Purax Antiperspirant Roll On Extra Strong, you need not worry as it has been tested and approved by dermatologists and competent testing bodies, specifically the FDA.
Not only are you guaranteed free from embarrassing sweaty underarms, your safety is guaranteed as well.
Efficient, Long-Lasting
Given that a single application of the Purax Antiperspirant Roll On Extra Strong on your underarms would guarantee as much as 7 days of protection from heavy sweating in that area, a single bottle would be enough to last you for a good 12 months (aka a whole year!), or at the very least it'd be close to that, depending on how frequently you apply it. This makes it pretty darn economical purchase.
No more long sleeved shirt and thick hoodie(is summer!)
One of the problems associated with heavy sweating underarms is the fact that you do not have much freedom in terms of the kinds of clothing you could possibly wear. Often times sufferers will wear heavy and multiple layers of clothing to hide sweat patches. Heavy underarm sweating is more obvious in lighter-colored clothes, hence those who are aware of their excessive underarm sweating would usually opt to wear clothes of darker shades.
Purax has the fashionista in mind with a stain-free formula giving you much more freedom in outfit choices, and letting you wear thinner clothing without the risk of those pit patches.
Less Stink, More Confidence Guaranteed
Excessively sweaty underarms are usually visually obvious and could leave a negative impression on other people. Also with these overly sweaty underarms, bacteria which form that all too familiar odor begins to flourish.
Both of these are embarrassing for anyone to experience. With the Purax Antiperspirant Roll On Extra Strong, you are free to raise your arms and move around with confidence, knowing that nothing unsightly is on your body.
Irritation of Hypersensitive Skin
There have been some reports of users experiencing an itching, burning, hot sensation on their underarms the moment it gets applied, making them not want to use the product again. This, however, is a relatively minor problem as it is experienced only by those who are hypersensitive to its ingredients. This can be expected from most clinical strength antiperspirants anyway as the ingredients need to set in to take effect.
There are several deodorant varieties out on the market which you could choose from nowadays, coming in different forms, such as sheets, sticks, and spray-on. It will not be difficult for you to find an alternative which is compatible with your body chemistry.
Out top recommendation for roll on applicators is Certain Dri, its the number 1 product recommended by most doctors. You also could try out SweatBlock, which is really easy on your skin and works well across your entire body. Odaban is my final alternative, it has a pump spray applicator and is great for scalp and face sweating.
Purax Antiperspirant Roll On Extra Strong lives up to it's name. It's strong(clinically so), scentless and safe(FDA and dermatologist approved). It's perfect for excessive sweaters and those with hyperhidrosis.
Whilst not the strongest product available, its very cost effective. One application can last a week meaning one bottle can last an entire year.
Conclusion on Purax
There are a lot of good antiperspirants and deodorants out there, and conversely a lot of terrible ineffective ones. Purax stands among the best products available, and while it isn't the top recommendation from me, it's certainly one of the most effective products on the market.
Purax is a great product. It passes multiple approvals and tests, is easy on the skin while remaining potent. It's stain free and lasts about a year per purchase.
Pick up your bottle of Purax Antiperspirant Roll On and kick sweating to the curb.
Ceux-ci peuvent être sélectionnés après l'achèvement des vaisseaux sanguins des personnes et placés à sa place peuvent effectuer un fonctionnement plus typique.

What will be done to make my back incision safe after surgery
Dr. Jean-Pierre C. Farcy
New York, NY
Dr. Christopher L. Hamill
Buffalo General HospitalBuffalo General Hospital
A dressing for 48 hours then removal.
Dr. Robert W. Molinari
Rochester, NY
A tissue sealant is placed over the suture, which serves as a protective barrier.
Dr. Stephen Ondra
Chicago, IL
The majority of the stitches in your back are done under the skin. This makes the wound very strong. Many patients have only bandage strips on the skin. If you have stitches or staples, we remove them about one week after surgery and put little bandages across the wound. These will stay in place for another week. After 2 weeks, the incision is usually well healed and keeps from opening up. Patients are also allowed to shower after any drains that are placed during surgery are removed. If there are no drains, you can shower on the 3rd post-operative day.
Dr. David W. Polly, Jr.
Minneapolis, MN
Usually you will have a "dressing" on your incision for 3-5 days after surgery. After that it is usually okay to leave it uncovered. Typically you can shower about a week after the surgery, but you shouldn't soak the incision (be underwater in the tub) for about three weeks.
Dr. Patrick Bosch
Albuquerque, NM
We use sutures to close the incision and pull the muscles back together. We then reinforce it with special tape (âsteri-stripsâ) and a dressing. In most cases, within 2 weeks your own healing has progressed to where your skin is strong enough for you to take showers or baths.
Dr. W. Christopher Urban
Glen Burnie, MD
Your incision will be covered with a sterile dressing that is applied in the operating room. This dressing is typically left on for 2 days and then removed so that the incision can be inspected. A dry dressing is then used to cover the wound until it seals. After about a week, the incision is sealed and no longer requires a dressing. At this point, it is safe to take a shower. Limiting exposure of the incision to the sun during the first six months also helps to reduce scar visibility.
Dr. John P. Lubicky
Chicago, IL
Dr. Scott J. Luhmann
St. Louis, MO
The initial dressing that is applied in the operating room is removed, on average, four days after surgery along with the surgical drains. After this time, the incision is typically left open to air without any dressing covering the wound. The incision should be kept clean and dry for a total of two weeks after surgery.
Dr. Baron S. Lonner
New York, NY
The closure of your incision is done with sutures that are placed under the skin and will not be removed. The incision is held together further with Steri-strips which take tension off the incision to enhance the healing process. In addition, a dressing will be applied over the incision for the first several days until the incision is completely dry. Thereafter, a dressing is not required and a shower may be taken without concern for the incision after two weeks. One week after the surgery plastic wrap can be placed over the incision and taped so that the incision is kept dry. This will ensure that the Steri-strips do not fall off prematurely, possibly allowing the incision to spread.
Dr. Michael F. O'Brien
Denver Orthopaedics
For the first 48 - 72 hours the incision will be covered by a sterile dressing placed in the operating room. Thereafter, the dressing will be removed and the incision inspected at least once a day by physicians and nurses after which a new dressing will be placed. Typically by 4-5 days after surgery the dressing will be removed. After approximately 10 days the dressings may be entirely removed and if any staples or sutures remain outside of the skin, these also will be removed. After approximately 4-5 days the incision can be bathed without concern.
Dr. Charles E. Johnston, II
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital Orthopedic Group
A sterile bandage is applied in the o.r., and it is usually changed on the second or third day to a new clean one.
Dr. Robert S. Pashman
Los Angeles, CA
It is my practice to keep a dressing over the patient's incision for 48 hours after surgery. After the wound has sealed, which normally occurs within that 48 hours, significant protection is usually unnecessary.
Dr. John T. Smith
University of Utah Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Most dressing are kept on the patient for the first three days. They are then left off in order for the incision to air. Patients are allowed to bathe after 5-7 days, as a rule, since absorbable stitches are often used, which don't require removal.
Dr. Thomas G. Lowe
Woodridge Orthopaedics & Spine Center, P.C.
I use a padded bandage that is kept on for the first 48 hours after the surgery. It is comfortable to lie on. After that, the incision is left uncovered to promote healing. I never let my patient's go out in the sun without a dark cover over their incision for the first six months to prevent scarring. Usually in the incisions are healed very nicely in approximately two weeks so that going into a swimming pool is possible as long as the incision is covered. Usually showers can be taken on the fourth or fifth day following the surgery.
Dr. Dennis G. Crandall
Mesa, AZ
We routinely close incisions with several layers of self dissolving suture that does not require removal. The closed incision is further held together with steri-strips to help keep the scar thin. A sterile dressing is kept over it and changed daily for a week. After that, the incision is usually healed enough to not require further dressings.
Dr. James Mooney, III
Detroit, MI
A dressing will remain on your back until your physician feels it is safe for it to be uncovered.
The commentary above recounts the experiences of these physicians. Medtronic invited them to share their stories candidly. Keep in mind that results vary; not every patient's response is the same. Talk with your doctor to learn more about any products that are mentioned above.
It is important that you discuss the potential risks, complications and benefits of spinal surgery with your doctor prior to receiving treatment, and that you rely on your doctor's judgment. Only your doctor can determine whether you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.

Lily HBase Batch Indexing for Cloudera Search
With Cloudera Search, you can batch index HBase tables using the Lily HBase batch indexer MapReduce job, also known as HBaseMapReduceIndexerTool. This batch indexing does not require:
- HBase replication
- The Lily HBase Indexer Service
- Registering a Lily HBase Indexer configuration with the Lily HBase Indexer Service
The indexer supports flexible, custom, application-specific rules to extract, transform, and load HBase data into Solr. Solr search results can contain columnFamily:qualifier links back to the data stored in HBase. This way, applications can use the search result set to directly access matching raw HBase cells.
The following procedures demonstrate creating a small HBase table and using the HBaseMapReduceIndexerTool to index the table into a collection:
Populating an HBase Table
After configuring and starting your system, create an HBase table and add rows to it. For example:
$ hbase shell hbase(main):002:0> create 'sample_table', {NAME => 'data'} hbase(main):002:0> put 'sample_table', 'row1', 'data', 'value' hbase(main):001:0> put 'sample_table', 'row2', 'data', 'value2'
Creating a Collection in Cloudera Search
A collection in Search used for HBase indexing must have a Solr schema that accommodates the types of HBase column families and qualifiers that are being indexed. To begin, consider adding the all-inclusive data field to a default schema. Once you decide on a schema, create a collection using commands similar to the following:
$ solrctl instancedir --generate $HOME/hbase_collection_config ## Edit $HOME/hbase_collection_config/conf/schema.xml as needed ## ## If you are using Sentry for authorization, copy solrconfig.xml.secure to solrconfig.xml as follows: ## ## cp $HOME/hbase_collection_config/conf/solrconfig.xml.secure $HOME/hbase_collection_config/conf/solrconfig.xml ## $ solrctl instancedir --create hbase_collection_config $HOME/hbase_collection_config $ solrctl collection --create hbase_collection -s <numShards> -c hbase_collection_config
Creating a Lily HBase Indexer Configuration File
Configure individual Lily HBase Indexers using the hbase-indexer command-line utility. Typically, there is one Lily HBase Indexer configuration file for each HBase table, but there can be as many Lily HBase Indexer configuration files as there are tables, column families, and corresponding collections in Search. Each Lily HBase Indexer configuration is defined in an XML file, such as morphline-hbase-mapper.xml.
An indexer configuration XML file must refer to the MorphlineResultToSolrMapper implementation and point to the location of a Morphline configuration file, as shown in the following morphline-hbase-mapper.xml indexer configuration file. For Cloudera Manager managed environments, set morphlineFile to the relative path morphlines.conf. For unmanaged environments, specify the absolute path to a morphlines.conf file that exists on the Lily HBase Indexer host. Make sure the file is readable by the HBase system user (hbase by default).
$ cat $HOME/morphline-hbase-mapper.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <indexer table="sample_table" mapper="com.ngdata.hbaseindexer.morphline.MorphlineResultToSolrMapper"> <!-- The relative or absolute path on the local file system to the morphline configuration file. --> <!-- Use relative path "morphlines.conf" for morphlines managed by Cloudera Manager --> <param name="morphlineFile" value="/path/to/morphlines.conf"/> <!-- The optional morphlineId identifies a morphline if there are multiple morphlines in morphlines.conf --> <!-- <param name="morphlineId" value="morphline1"/> --> </indexer>
The Lily HBase Indexer configuration file also supports the standard attributes of any HBase Lily Indexer on the top-level <indexer> element: table, mapping-type, read-row, mapper, unique-key-formatter, unique-key-field, row-field, column-family-field, and table-family-field. It does not support the <field> element and <extract> elements.
Creating a Morphline Configuration File
After creating an indexer configuration XML file, you can configure morphline ETL transformation commands in a morphlines.conf configuration file. The morphlines.conf configuration file can contain any number of morphline commands. Typically, an extractHBaseCells command is the first command. The readAvroContainer or readAvro morphline commands are often used to extract Avro data from the HBase byte array. This configuration file can be shared among different applications that use morphlines.
If you are using Cloudera Manager, the morphlines.conf file is edited within Cloudera Manager ().
For unmanaged environments, create the morphlines.conf file on the Lily HBase Indexer host:
$ cat /etc/hbase-solr/conf/morphlines.conf morphlines : [ { id : morphline1 importCommands : ["org.kitesdk.morphline.**", "com.ngdata.**"] commands : [ { extractHBaseCells { mappings : [ { inputColumn : "data:*" outputField : "data" type : string source : value } #{ # inputColumn : "data:item" # outputField : "_attachment_body" # type : "byte[]" # source : value #} ] } } #for avro use with type : "byte[]" in extractHBaseCells mapping above #{ readAvroContainer {} } #{ # extractAvroPaths { # paths : { # data : /user_name # } # } #} { logTrace { format : "output record: {}", args : ["@{}"] } } ] } ]
Understanding the extractHBaseCells Morphline Command
The extractHBaseCells morphline command extracts cells from an HBase result and transforms the values into a SolrInputDocument. The command consists of an array of zero or more mapping specifications.
Each mapping has:
- The inputColumn parameter, which specifies the data from HBase for populating a field in Solr. It has the form of a
column family name and qualifier, separated by a colon. The qualifier portion can end in an asterisk, which is interpreted as a wildcard. In this case, all matching column-family and qualifier
expressions are used. The following are examples of valid inputColumn values:
- mycolumnfamily:myqualifier
- mycolumnfamily:my*
- mycolumnfamily:*
- The outputField parameter specifies the morphline record field to which to add output values. The morphline record field is also known as the Solr document field. Example: first_name.
- Dynamic output fields are enabled by the outputField parameter ending with a wildcard (*). For example:
inputColumn : "mycolumnfamily:*" outputField : "belongs_to_*"In this case, if you make these puts in HBase:
put 'table_name' , 'row1' , 'mycolumnfamily:1' , 'foo' put 'table_name' , 'row1' , 'mycolumnfamily:9' , 'bar'Then the fields of the Solr document are as follows:
belongs_to_1 : foo belongs_to_9 : bar
- The type parameter defines the data type of the content in HBase. All input data is stored in HBase as byte arrays, but
all content in Solr is indexed as text, so a method for converting byte arrays to the actual data type is required. The type parameter can be the name of a type that is supported by org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.to* (which currently includes byte[], int, long,
string, boolean, float, double, short, and
bigdecimal). Use type byte[] to pass the byte array through to the morphline without conversion.
HBase data formatting does not always match what is specified by org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.*. For example, this can occur with data of type float or double. You can enable indexing of such HBase data by converting the data. There are various ways to do so, including:
- type:byte[] copies the byte array unmodified into the record output field
- type:int converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toInt
- type:long converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toLong
- type:string converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toString
- type:boolean converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toBoolean
- type:float converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toFloat
- type:double converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toDouble
- type:short converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toShort
- type:bigdecimal converts with org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Bytes.toBigDecimal
- Using Java morphline command to parse input data, converting it to the expected output. For example:
{ imports : "import java.util.*;" code: """ // manipulate the contents of a record field String stringAmount = (String) record.getFirstValue("amount"); Double dbl = Double.parseDouble(stringAmount); record.replaceValues("amount",dbl); return child.process(record); // pass record to next command in chain """ }
- Creating table fields with binary format and then using types such as double or float in a morphline.conf. You could create a table in HBase for storing
doubles using commands similar to:
CREATE TABLE sample_lily_hbase ( id string, amount double, ts timestamp ) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('hbase.columns.mapping' = ':key,ti:amount#b,ti:ts,') TBLPROPERTIES ('hbase.table.name' = 'sample_lily');
- The source parameter determines which portion of an HBase KeyValue is used as indexing input. Valid choices are value or qualifier. When value is specified, the HBase cell value is used as input for indexing. When qualifier is specified, then the HBase column qualifier is used as input for indexing. The default is value.
Running HBaseMapReduceIndexerTool
Run the command as follows:
hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar /usr/lib/hbase-solr/tools/hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml -D 'mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx500m' \ --hbase-indexer-file $HOME/morphline-hbase-mapper.xml \ --zk-host 127.0.0.1/solr --collection hbase-collection1 \ --go-live --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties
$ hadoop jar /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/jars/hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar --help
$ hadoop jar /usr/lib/hbase-solr/tools/hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar --help
The full command line usage help is as follows:
usage: hadoop [GenericOptions]... jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar [--hbase-indexer-zk STRING] [--hbase-indexer-name STRING] [--hbase-indexer-file FILE] [--hbase-indexer-component-factory STRING] [--hbase-table-name STRING] [--hbase-start-row BINARYSTRING] [--hbase-end-row BINARYSTRING] [--hbase-start-time STRING] [--hbase-end-time STRING] [--hbase-timestamp-format STRING] [--zk-host STRING] [--go-live] [--collection STRING] [--go-live-threads INTEGER] [--help] [--output-dir HDFS_URI] [--overwrite-output-dir] [--morphline-file FILE] [--morphline-id STRING] [--solr-home-dir DIR] [--update-conflict-resolver FQCN] [--reducers INTEGER] [--max-segments INTEGER] [--fair-scheduler-pool STRING] [--dry-run] [--log4j FILE] [--verbose] [--clear-index] [--show-non-solr-cloud] MapReduce batch job driver that takes input data from an HBase table and creates Solr index shards and writes the indexes into HDFS, in a flexible, scalable, and fault-tolerant manner. It also supports merging the output shards into a set of live customer-facing Solr servers in SolrCloud. Optionally, documents can be sent directly from the mapper tasks to SolrCloud, which is a much less scalable approach but enables updating existing documents in SolrCloud. The program proceeds in one or multiple consecutive MapReduce-based phases, as follows: 1) Mapper phase: This (parallel) phase scans over the input HBase table, extracts the relevant content, and transforms it into SolrInputDocuments. If run as a mapper-only job, this phase also writes the SolrInputDocuments directly to a live SolrCloud cluster. The conversion from HBase records into Solr documents is performed via a hbase-indexer configuration and typically based on a morphline. 2) Reducer phase: This (parallel) phase loads the mapper's SolrInputDocuments into one EmbeddedSolrServer per reducer. Each such reducer and Solr server can be seen as a (micro) shard. The Solr servers store their data in HDFS. 3) Mapper-only merge phase: This (parallel) phase merges the set of reducer shards into the number of Solr shards expected by the user, using a mapper-only job. This phase is omitted if the number of shards is already equal to the number of shards expected by the user 4) Go-live phase: This optional (parallel) phase merges the output shards of the previous phase into a set of live customer-facing Solr servers in SolrCloud. If this phase is omitted you can explicitly point each Solr server to one of the HDFS output shard directories Fault Tolerance: Mapper and reducer task attempts are retried on failure per the standard MapReduce semantics. On program startup all data in the -- output-dir is deleted if that output directory already exists and -- overwrite-output-dir is specified. This means that if the whole job fails you can retry simply by rerunning the program again using the same arguments. HBase Indexer parameters: Parameters for specifying the HBase indexer definition and/or where it should be loaded from. --hbase-indexer-zk STRING The address of the ZooKeeper ensemble from which to fetch the indexer definition named --hbase- indexer-name. Format is: a list of comma separated host:port pairs, each corresponding to a zk server. Example: '127.0.0.1:2181,127.0.0.1: 2182,127.0.0.1:2183' --hbase-indexer-name STRING The name of the indexer configuration to fetch from the ZooKeeper ensemble specified with -- hbase-indexer-zk. Example: myIndexer --hbase-indexer-file FILE Relative or absolute path to a local HBase indexer XML configuration file. If supplied, this overrides --hbase-indexer-zk and --hbase-indexer- name. Example: /path/to/morphline-hbase-mapper.xml --hbase-indexer-component-factory STRING Classname of the hbase indexer component factory. HBase scan parameters: Parameters for specifying what data is included while reading from HBase. --hbase-table-name STRING Optional name of the HBase table containing the records to be indexed. If supplied, this overrides the value from the --hbase-indexer-* options. Example: myTable --hbase-start-row BINARYSTRING Binary string representation of start row from which to start indexing (inclusive). The format of the supplied row key should use two-digit hex values prefixed by \x for non-ascii characters (e. g. 'row\x00'). The semantics of this argument are the same as those for the HBase Scan#setStartRow method. The default is to include the first row of the table. Example: AAAA --hbase-end-row BINARYSTRING Binary string representation of end row prefix at which to stop indexing (exclusive). See the description of --hbase-start-row for more information. The default is to include the last row of the table. Example: CCCC --hbase-start-time STRING Earliest timestamp (inclusive) in time range of HBase cells to be included for indexing. The default is to include all cells. Example: 0 --hbase-end-time STRING Latest timestamp (exclusive) of HBase cells to be included for indexing. The default is to include all cells. Example: 123456789 --hbase-timestamp-format STRING Timestamp format to be used to interpret --hbase- start-time and --hbase-end-time. This is a java. text.SimpleDateFormat compliant format (see http: //docs.oracle. com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat. html). If this parameter is omitted then the timestamps are interpreted as number of milliseconds since the standard epoch (Unix time). Example: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ Solr cluster arguments: Arguments that provide information about your Solr cluster. --zk-host STRING The address of a ZooKeeper ensemble being used by a SolrCloud cluster. This ZooKeeper ensemble will be examined to determine the number of output shards to create as well as the Solr URLs to merge the output shards into when using the --go- live option. Requires that you also pass the -- collection to merge the shards into. The --zk-host option implements the same partitioning semantics as the standard SolrCloud Near-Real-Time (NRT) API. This enables to mix batch updates from MapReduce ingestion with updates from standard Solr NRT ingestion on the same SolrCloud cluster, using identical unique document keys. Format is: a list of comma separated host:port pairs, each corresponding to a zk server. Example: '127.0.0.1:2181,127.0.0.1:2182,127.0.0.1: 2183' If the optional chroot suffix is used the example would look like: '127.0.0.1:2181/solr, 127.0.0.1:2182/solr,127.0.0.1:2183/solr' where the client would be rooted at '/solr' and all paths would be relative to this root - i.e. getting/setting/etc... '/foo/bar' would result in operations being run on '/solr/foo/bar' (from the server perspective). If --solr-home-dir is not specified, the Solr home directory for the collection will be downloaded from this ZooKeeper ensemble. Go live arguments: Arguments for merging the shards that are built into a live Solr cluster. Also see the Cluster arguments. --go-live Allows you to optionally merge the final index shards into a live Solr cluster after they are built. You can pass the ZooKeeper address with -- zk-host and the relevant cluster information will be auto detected. (default: false) --collection STRING The SolrCloud collection to merge shards into when using --go-live and --zk-host. Example: collection1 --go-live-threads INTEGER Tuning knob that indicates the maximum number of live merges to run in parallel at one time. (default: 1000) Optional arguments: --help, -help, -h Show this help message and exit --output-dir HDFS_URI HDFS directory to write Solr indexes to. Inside there one output directory per shard will be generated. Example: hdfs://c2202.mycompany. com/user/$USER/test --overwrite-output-dir Overwrite the directory specified by --output-dir if it already exists. Using this parameter will result in the output directory being recursively deleted at job startup. (default: false) --morphline-file FILE Relative or absolute path to a local config file that contains one or more morphlines. The file must be UTF-8 encoded. The file will be uploaded to each MR task. If supplied, this overrides the value from the --hbase-indexer-* options. Example: /path/to/morphlines.conf --morphline-id STRING The identifier of the morphline that shall be executed within the morphline config file, e.g. specified by --morphline-file. If the --morphline- id option is ommitted the first (i.e. top-most) morphline within the config file is used. If supplied, this overrides the value from the -- hbase-indexer-* options. Example: morphline1 --solr-home-dir DIR Optional relative or absolute path to a local dir containing Solr conf/ dir and in particular conf/solrconfig.xml and optionally also lib/ dir. This directory will be uploaded to each MR task. Example: src/test/resources/solr/minimr --update-conflict-resolver FQCN Fully qualified class name of a Java class that implements the UpdateConflictResolver interface. This enables deduplication and ordering of a series of document updates for the same unique document key. For example, a MapReduce batch job might index multiple files in the same job where some of the files contain old and new versions of the very same document, using the same unique document key. Typically, implementations of this interface forbid collisions by throwing an exception, or ignore all but the most recent document version, or, in the general case, order colliding updates ascending from least recent to most recent (partial) update. The caller of this interface (i. e. the Hadoop Reducer) will then apply the updates to Solr in the order returned by the orderUpdates() method. The default RetainMostRecentUpdateConflictResolver implementation ignores all but the most recent document version, based on a configurable numeric Solr field, which defaults to the file_last_modified timestamp (default: org.apache. solr.hadoop.dedup. RetainMostRecentUpdateConflictResolver) --reducers INTEGER Tuning knob that indicates the number of reducers to index into. 0 indicates that no reducers should be used, and documents should be sent directly from the mapper tasks to live Solr servers. -1 indicates use all reduce slots available on the cluster. -2 indicates use one reducer per output shard, which disables the mtree merge MR algorithm. The mtree merge MR algorithm improves scalability by spreading load (in particular CPU load) among a number of parallel reducers that can be much larger than the number of solr shards expected by the user. It can be seen as an extension of concurrent lucene merges and tiered lucene merges to the clustered case. The subsequent mapper-only phase merges the output of said large number of reducers to the number of shards expected by the user, again by utilizing more available parallelism on the cluster. (default: -1) --max-segments INTEGER Tuning knob that indicates the maximum number of segments to be contained on output in the index of each reducer shard. After a reducer has built its output index it applies a merge policy to merge segments until there are <= maxSegments lucene segments left in this index. Merging segments involves reading and rewriting all data in all these segment files, potentially multiple times, which is very I/O intensive and time consuming. However, an index with fewer segments can later be merged faster, and it can later be queried faster once deployed to a live Solr serving shard. Set maxSegments to 1 to optimize the index for low query latency. In a nutshell, a small maxSegments value trades indexing latency for subsequently improved query latency. This can be a reasonable trade-off for batch indexing systems. (default: 1) --fair-scheduler-pool STRING Optional tuning knob that indicates the name of the fair scheduler pool to submit jobs to. The Fair Scheduler is a pluggable MapReduce scheduler that provides a way to share large clusters. Fair scheduling is a method of assigning resources to jobs such that all jobs get, on average, an equal share of resources over time. When there is a single job running, that job uses the entire cluster. When other jobs are submitted, tasks slots that free up are assigned to the new jobs, so that each job gets roughly the same amount of CPU time. Unlike the default Hadoop scheduler, which forms a queue of jobs, this lets short jobs finish in reasonable time while not starving long jobs. It is also an easy way to share a cluster between multiple of users. Fair sharing can also work with job priorities - the priorities are used as weights to determine the fraction of total compute time that each job gets. --dry-run Run in local mode and print documents to stdout instead of loading them into Solr. This executes the morphline in the client process (without submitting a job to MR) for quicker turnaround during early trial & debug sessions. (default: false) --log4j FILE Relative or absolute path to a log4j.properties config file on the local file system. This file will be uploaded to each MR task. Example: /path/to/log4j.properties --verbose, -v Turn on verbose output. (default: false) --clear-index Will attempt to delete all entries in a solr index before starting batch build. This is not transactional so if the build fails the index will be empty. (default: false) --show-non-solr-cloud Also show options for Non-SolrCloud mode as part of --help. (default: false) Generic options supported are --conf <configuration file> specify an application configuration file -D <property=value> use value for given property --fs <local|namenode:port> specify a namenode --jt <local|resourcemanager:port> specify a ResourceManager --files <comma separated list of files> specify comma separated files to be copied to the map reduce cluster --libjars <comma separated list of jars> specify comma separated jar files to include in the classpath. --archives <comma separated list of archives> specify comma separated archives to be unarchived on the compute machines. The general command line syntax is bin/hadoop command [genericOptions] [commandOptions] Examples: # (Re)index a table in GoLive mode based on a local indexer config file hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ -D 'mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx500m' \ --hbase-indexer-file indexer.xml \ --zk-host 127.0.0.1/solr \ --collection collection1 \ --go-live \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties # (Re)index a table in GoLive mode using a local morphline-based indexer config file # Also include extra library jar file containing JSON tweet Java parser: hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ --libjars /path/to/kite-morphlines-twitter-0.10.0.jar \ -D 'mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx500m' \ --hbase-indexer-file src/test/resources/morphline_indexer_without_zk.xml \ --zk-host 127.0.0.1/solr \ --collection collection1 \ --go-live \ --morphline-file src/test/resources/morphlines.conf \ --output-dir hdfs://c2202.mycompany.com/user/$USER/test \ --overwrite-output-dir \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties # (Re)index a table in GoLive mode hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ -D 'mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx500m' \ --hbase-indexer-file indexer.xml \ --zk-host 127.0.0.1/solr \ --collection collection1 \ --go-live \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties # (Re)index a table with direct writes to SolrCloud hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ -D 'mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx500m' \ --hbase-indexer-file indexer.xml \ --zk-host 127.0.0.1/solr \ --collection collection1 \ --reducers 0 \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties # (Re)index a table based on a indexer config stored in ZK hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ -D 'mapred.child.java.opts=-Xmx500m' \ --hbase-indexer-zk zk01 \ --hbase-indexer-name docindexer \ --go-live \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties # MapReduce on Yarn - Pass custom JVM arguments HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS='-DmaxConnectionsPerHost=10000 -DmaxConnections=10000'; \ hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ -D 'mapreduce.map.java.opts=-DmaxConnectionsPerHost=10000 -DmaxConnections=10000' \ -D 'mapreduce.reduce.java.opts=-DmaxConnectionsPerHost=10000 -DmaxConnections=10000' \ --hbase-indexer-zk zk01 \ --hbase-indexer-name docindexer \ --go-live \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties # MapReduce on MR1 - Pass custom JVM arguments HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS='-DmaxConnectionsPerHost=10000 -DmaxConnections=10000'; \ hadoop --config /etc/hadoop/conf \ jar hbase-indexer-mr-*-job.jar \ --conf /etc/hbase/conf/hbase-site.xml \ -D 'mapreduce.child.java.opts=-DmaxConnectionsPerHost=10000 -DmaxConnections=10000' \ --hbase-indexer-zk zk01 \ --hbase-indexer-name docindexer \ --go-live \ --log4j src/test/resources/log4j.properties
Understanding --go-live and HDFS ACLs
When run with a reduce phase, as opposed to as a mapper-only job, the indexer creates an offline index on HDFS in the output directory specified by the --output-dir parameter. If the --go-live parameter is specified, Solr merges the resulting offline index into the live running service. Thus, the Solr service must have read access to the contents of the output directory in order to complete the --go-live step. If --overwrite-output-dir is specified, the indexer deletes and recreates any existing output directory; in an environment with restrictive permissions, such as one with an HDFS umask of 077, the Solr user may not be able to read the contents of the newly created directory. To address this issue, the indexer automatically applies the HDFS ACLs to enable Solr to read the output directory contents. These ACLs are only applied if HDFS ACLs are enabled on the HDFS NameNode. For more information, see HDFS Extended ACLs.
The indexer only makes ACL updates to the output directory and its contents. If the output directory's parent directories do not include the execute permission, the Solr service cannot access the output directory. Solr must have execute permissions from standard permissions or ACLs on the parent directories of the output directory.

Bernardo LaPallo Is over 110 years old although many of us would think that he is 80 or even younger. He eats a lot of organic fruits and vegetables, he avoids certain foods like the plague and he regularly consumes 5 certain foods. As a result, he has never been sick a day in his life and that's a secret passed down to him by his father (who was a doctor and lived to be 98 years old) which he believes is the key to his longevity. Bernardo puts it simply, "You are what you eat!"
In this video he reveals his secrets and the 5 foods that he says are responsible for his longevity and healthy life: Garlic, Cinnamon, Honey, Chocolate and Olive Oil. To keep his mind sharp and active he solves crossword puzzles and read books. Have you ever seen someone over 100 years old as alive and healthy as Bernardo? I surely haven't.

Oh What A Night: grand opening
Would someone pinch me?! On second thought, don't... I am still on such a high from our grand opening celebration last week, and still in complete awe of the love and support. What an amazing experience, bringing together five and a half years of clients, vendors, colleagues, friends, and family to celebrate a truly joyous milestone for us. Seeing this wonderful collection of people brought back a flood of amazing experiences, and revealed just how much we have accomplished and grown in the past few years. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, to everyone who came both in person and in spirit! I can't stop tearing up so I will let the pictures do the talking for me.
And a huge thank you to Andrea and Skip for our fabulous food and wine, and to the RSF Review, our local paper, for featuring our opening story .

I'm Just a Rambling Man
That said - I have mastered some plot threads that needed tying together. My iPhone, unlike the previous clunky yet small Blackberry, is proving a bit of a helpmate. I was able to download a pages app for it that allows me to edit the most recent chapter on the go. I don't foresee any solid writing time on it unless I get the keyboard that I mentioned in the last post, and I am waiting for my finances to improve for that, but I can edit, add ideas, and not lose rolling trains of steamy thought.
One of my plotting solutions involves a famous historical character, Harry Houdini, who has now gained importance in the novel, and thusly I am forced (oh what terrible pain and joy!) to read the recent bio of him that I got. Sadly it is not available on the Kindle... wait, it wasn't but maybe it is now... let me toddle off and check...
Back. Ah, wonderful. I feel like a walking, talking, typing advert for the iPhone, but I am a convert. So I have downloaded the Kindle app to my phone, and my copy of the Houdini book is now there, on the page I was last reading, and I'm ready to snatch minutes from my workday to learn all I need to know about the amazing magician, contortionist, and escape artist. Amusing note on the side: on my wall, by my desk, is my Houdini Action Figure. It was a gift from one of my relatives - the same year I gave them one. We exchanged.
Ok, well I was away from this for about an hour because my cat pissed on the laundry again. It's such a joy to be able to add the mental and emotional and maybe physical aberrations of an animal you swore to look after and love for all his days to your list of distractions from writing. Mostly he's been urinating on the wife's things, seems he's pissed off at me now too. I am also hearing about the chores and programming/design tweaks I need to make at Pan Historia... it never ends. And just when I have the list all organized, and all the things I have to do on it, I'll head to work for nine hours, because that's how I pay the bills.
Tune in next week to find out more about how my iPhone helps me to conquer the madness of modern life, and enables me to write a novel in the middle of it. Or not. You choose how you distract yourself from your own writing.
Perhaps you might join a revolution?

Have Keyboard, Will Travel
I'm glad to say that after my last update I made some time in my life for writing my novel again. This is quite an achievement because the distractions and tornado keeps on building around me. The whole world seems to want to go up in flames, and perhaps it should, and I've got wandering random family members in transition in this funnel of frantic windy energy needing a couch to sleep on. Thusly I have no private space where the mind can be fertile and still enough that it suddenly freely sprouts words, one upon the last, building and building, until there is a tower of words, wobbly, but upright.
As a matter of fact I am writing this now instead of working on my book in the precious morning I have before work because I can manage this kind of personal writing with the distractions, but not the real hard work of writing a novel. I've set myself a quota of words each day: a measly 500. This can count towards that goal, as well as the collaborative posts I do at Pan Historia, but it doesn't feel as satisfying anymore, not as compelling as getting into the heads of my characters. I miss my book when I'm not at it.
I just took a break from writing this to browse computer tablets. I started to wonder, since I have lacked a private space of my own, a space with a door that shuts the world out, if I were to go fully mobile could I pick up stray pockets of time and privacy from my maelstrom days to dash out those few measly words, make those notes, build that tower...
Nope, they lack the essential tool that I crave: a keyboard. I could go retro and try the notebooks, and I have done that before, but unlike those folks that love freehand and the pen or pencil, I'm a sucker for the keyboard. I can type about 50pm if I factor in the mistakes, or maybe faster by now, and I need the speed because that's often how fast the words flow. When I write by hand I miss words, phrases, even passages, skipping over them as the next word crashes into me. I paint the same way. I can't do it slow. Which of course begs the question: why isn't my output greater? The answer is frustrating: I fritter away much of my free time (little and precious though it is) in frivolities. I resolve, every day and every minute, to do better, but when you're a speed freak, like the hare, you need a lot of breaks.
I have seventy more words to find... then I'll have fulfilled my quota for the day.
Oh my god... had another idea, took another break - could this be the solution:
Freedom Pro Bluetooth Portable Folding Keyboard
It's a bit pricy, but so far the reviews are good. I can whip this sucker out of my backpack, hook it up to my phone and be on my way. Hmmm... this could work. Have keyboard, can travel. It seems I'm on the eternal quest to be completely hooked up until my excuses have no where to run and hide anymore, and either I write, or I admit that I'm not a writer.
Haha. 556 words.

I Have Never Shot a Gun...
"Write what you know."
Boy, that's getting to be the old chestnut of writing advice. It's also hugely misleading. The kernel of truth in it is that whatever you writing should have authenticity. Don't let people catch you out in ignorance. It trips up the reader when they totally figure out that the author has no idea what they are talking about.
This advice is not about, however, only writing from personal experience. If we all did that the fictional landscape would be one helluva a boring place. The whole point of fiction is to take you someplace you don't know. At least it is for me and probably the majority of readers. Very few people pick up a book to escape into a reality so like theirs it is indistinguishable. What they want to do is be able to relate to the characters in the book, but not meet any old regular joe. They want to go to the far reaches of the galaxy, or to ride the Pacific Union Railroad with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid waiting for them around the bend to blow up the safe.
Even if you're reading something that is contemporary you want to peek into the mind and heart, or maybe the madness, of someone you don't know. You might be able to relate, but you aren't them, and they aren't exactly anyone you know either.
The real key to writing what you know is to research and make sure you get the details right, even if it is pure and utter fantasy, and then inject your personal experience into the story to render it authentic. You might not have been born in the 1900s but you can relate to something so tight fitting it makes it hard to breathe, you understand what riding a train is like, and you know the fear that the threat of violence brings.
Every character should be a little bit of an autobiography because you're reaching inside yourself to imagine something completely, but that doesn't mean you know what's like to be a serial killer, or vampire, or a space cowboy 400 light years from home. Every character is also a little bit of biography because you're grabbing stuff from people you know. Even the most ordinary friend has a bit of the extraordinary you can pilfer to bring your characters to life.
Always authenticity is key, so really the old chestnut should read: "write from the heart, and then even what you don't know will come to life for your readers".

Procrastination Bites!
You know the score. You're supposed to be writing. Instead you find your eyelids drooping and a powerful urge to sleep coming on. Or you start clicking those stupid little games in FaceBook or you open your version of Spider Solitaire. Just a few games... honest. Then you'll get back to writing. Or maybe you're the type that will start cleaning the house or doing the laundry... oh shit, hold on, I just have to put the wash in the dryer now, be right back...
Ok, now where was I? Oh yes, procrastination - the bugbear of the would-be writer. Or maybe even the nemesis of all writers? Possibly so. Wait? Do I hear the siren call of a completely different writing project all my name? You know, something like a blog, or maybe even a new collaborative writing project at your favorite online writing community? Whatever it is - something is always keeping you from finishing your novel, that is, if you are at all like me.
So what are your favorite distractions? What's your laundry list of things that suddenly need doing urgently every time you sit down to write and how the heck do you conquer those distractions and interruptions?
Games? Close the program. Delete the software. Social networking? Turn off the Twitter. Other writing projects? Perhaps time management is required. Too tired? What do you need to eliminate from your day that is a waste of your time so you'll be able to find the time, space, and energy to write?
I want to hear from YOU.

Jerk that Pistol: Firing into the New Year
I was talking with someone the other day about New Year's resolutions. The person I was talking to was negative in response - citing their unwillingness to succumb to peer pressure to state unattainable goals. I made some kind of blithe return that I didn't necessarily believe in 'resolutions' as such, but I did try and set myself some goals. Here is one right now: I resolve not to talk out of my ass so much. The concept of resolutions and making goals are so similar as to be totally interchangeable.
Having stated I would make no resolutions (but would have goals, insert eye roll here) I immediately started making resolutions. This got me curious. Where does this tradition of New Year's resolutions come from? A quick google around the internet revealed that it goes back to Roman times, and involves making promises of good deeds to the Roman god Janus. Janus is the one with two faces, one looking back and one looking forward. Ok, I can totally get behind a Roman tradition. Romans kick ass (please don't tell my Egyptian characters how much I love Romans). Of course for hundreds of years New Year's resolutions were quite attainable: I will a pile of gold to the poor, I will return the chariot I stole from my neighbor, I will marry the girl I knocked up, etc.
Somehow, over the years, the resolution came to be some personal goal of self-improvement. Which is, apparently, the reason that fewer and fewer New Year's resolutions actually get followed through on, with most people giving up after just a couple months. Giving a charitable donation is a very achievable goal; becoming a better person is not. Just think of all the people determining right this minute that they will lose weight, write every day, be nicer to the people they despise, or exercise more? Are you going to be one of them?
I resolve to write a novel this year. I already started it. I have the books I need for research. I'm not going to tell you how many hours a day I plan to write, or any other writerly self-improvement resolutions that I will probably break before I get a week or two into the New Year. I am simply going to set myself an achievable goal: I will finish my book.
There. Done.
What about you?

Pan Historia Technical Status Report
Unfortunately the man, Pandaman, with the technical expertise to determine exactly what is needed and how to program a UPS, is currently on a much needed vacation in the wilds of New Zealand with no internet access, so it's just me doing the best that I can. Until the problem is resolved there will be frequent interruptions of service as I shut down Pan to try and work on a solution. Right now I'm running around looking for a new powerful UPS so we can get Pan back online. I was able to confirm that Pan's status is good. There are no problems with the server itself and the backup server looks healthy too.

Christmas Present, Christmas Past, Christmas Virtual
Year after year it grew more complicated. The first Christmas away from home, spent in another family's home as an outside was like a dash of cold water that sent my youthful emotions spinning into darkness. Later on changing family dynamics changed the holidays from my uncomplicated joy to harrowing nightmares that might involve drunken binges (not mine). Expanding connections and networks produced an overload of spending, responsibility, anxiety, and stress as big business pushed ever harder for us all to succumb to an orgy of consumerism at the holidays. As a single parent there were those mornings when I knew I had failed my offspring because I couldn't afford those excessive gifts that were commonplace, it appeared, in every household but my own on Christmas morning.
Now I have a family that demands to be together, and yet collectively sighs and moans at the difficulties inherent at fulfilling the expectations of the season. I'll be doing a little of the same, but in the middle of all the chaos and tears, there will also be hugs, and moments of genuine gladness in each other.
Now if only the holidays could be like they are at Pan Historia: full of fun and games, where gift giving may be real or virtual, but it hardly counts which because everyone is just happy to be involved. No one worries about the stresses of real life too much because it is where they come to escape such concerns. The tree is big and gaudy with plenty of love decorating it, but no needles to sweep up at the end. The food is fun, but will not make you fat or give you indigestion. And it really doesn't matter what the holidays mean to you. We have something for everyone.
Oh, and I love our red cardinal and snow theme this year, simple and elegant.

Celebrated each year on 18 July – Mandela's birthday – Mandela Day is a global call to action celebrating the idea that we all have the power to transform the world. The day was officially declared by the United Nations in November 2009, with the first UN Mandela Day held on 18 July 2010.
On 27 April 2009, the 46664 concerts and the Nelson Mandela Foundation invited the global community to join them in support of an official Mandela Day. Mandela Day is not meant as a public holiday, but as a day to honor the legacy and values of South Africa's first post-apartheid president through volunteering and community service.
People contribute to Mandela Day by giving 67 minutes of their time to a cause close to their hearts – a minute for every year Mandela spent fighting for South Africa's emancipation. The Ayyoub Foundation, in partnership with House of Compassion, supports each year by distributing 500 loaves of bread in the township of Delft in the Western Cape.

Dear friends,
The final round of the World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia, is now completed! Spanning 11 rounds over 12 days, it was a grueling schedule even for the most experienced players. Many games would last 4 hours, and some even longer.
The Ugandan women's team ended up dropping their final match to South Africa 1.5-2.5;. In spite of this loss, they ended up tied for 84th place (96th on tiebreaks), while they started the event ranked 114th out of 150 women's teams.
The BIG and AMAZING result this Olympiad revolves around Gloria Nansubuga. As a 5 year old, Gloria taught 10 year old Phiona Mutesi how the chess pieces moved on Phiona's first day in the SOM Chess Academy (as depicted in Disney's Queen of Katwe live-action movie). This year, Gloria was called up to participate in the qualifier for the Olympiad because of a last-minute drop. She was not expected to perform highly, yet she qualified in that match to be one of the 5 ladies on the Ugandan Olympiad team. In the Olympiad she scored the highest of her team mates, winning 6.0 out of 9 games played, and gaining over 100 ELO (rating) points!
Not only this, but her performance has earned her the Women's FIDE Master title! She is the FIRST Ugandan lady to earn this title based on results in a World Event!
In August 2016, I had the chance to travel to Kampala, Uganda, to coach the Uganda Women's Olympiad team as they prepared for the 42nd Chess Olympiad. While there, I met Gloria for the first time. In the picture below, Gloria, Sarah Katende (wife of Robert Katende, founder of the Robert Katende Initiative), and I were visiting Gloria's aunties. The boards on the left side of the picture are her aunties' home- a 6' x 6' dwelling. Gloria's impoverished background makes her successes all the more inspiring.
In other Olympiad news, the US men's team tied for first with China but took silver on tiebreaks. This is just the opposite of 2 years ago where US and China also tied, with US taking gold on tiebreaks. This year, China won gold for both the men's and women's teams!
I left the Olympiad Thursday morning (the last round was Friday). Three flights, two layovers, 20 hours, and 10,000km later, I arrived in Pittsburgh in time to participate in Chess Week events.
Friday, 10/6, I visited a school chess club in Pittsburgh with Ashley Priore. Ashley's list of accomplishments is impressive: Starting a non-profit The Queen's Gambit Institute, catalyzing a movement around chess that resulted in the official annual Pittsburgh Week of Chess, giving a TEDx talk, and now starting college at the University of Pittsburgh - yes, that's right, she's all of 18 years old and already making great steps forward to lead social impact through chess.
I had a good time working with a few students, playing a blindfold chess game, working with students on a few strategies, and sharing about the Mindsets of Success such as are featured in my new book A Pawn's Journey. As part of the event, I gave the students Chess4Life wristbands with the Chess4Life motto "Win.Draw.Learn." engraved on them.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's tournament, simul, and book signing event at the University of Pittsburgh!
Kind regards,
PS - Look for a special announcement next week with A Pawn's Journey official book release on Tuesday Oct 9th!

CORElearn (1.53.1)
Classification, Regression and Feature Evaluation.
A suite of machine learning algorithms written in C++ with the R interface contains several learning techniques for classification and regression. Predictive models include e.g., classification and regression trees with optional constructive induction and models in the leaves, random forests, kNN, naive Bayes, and locally weighted regression. All predictions obtained with these models can be explained and visualized with the 'ExplainPrediction' package. This package is especially strong in feature evaluation where it contains several variants of Relief algorithm and many impurity based attribute evaluation functions, e.g., Gini, information gain, MDL, and DKM. These methods can be used for feature selection or discretization of numeric attributes. The OrdEval algorithm and its visualization is used for evaluation of data sets with ordinal features and class, enabling analysis according to the Kano model of customer satisfaction. Several algorithms support parallel multithreaded execution via OpenMP. The top-level documentation is reachable through ?CORElearn.

Texas is very close to turning blue. I mean, especially when you have someone like Ted Cruz in the US Senate, we're pretty close to going blue. I have a telephone reminder to call Ted Cruz's offices every weekday to tell him I don't agree with what he's doing. Ted Cruz once shut down the government by filibustering with the child's book, Green Eggs and Ham. This shutdown resulted in my not being able to go to several national parks and monuments while on my 50-state road trip.
To say I don't like Ted Cruz is an understatement. I never want to see him ever again. I mean… if my political opponent insulted me, my wife and my dad, I wouldn't really ever support my politic opponent. Ever. But that's me. Someone who loves my family.
I want Ted Cruz out of office so bad that I delayed updating my Project Notes notebooks to make some things. And I hate doing projects without my Project Notes notebook, because that's how I keep track of everything.
That's how much I don't like Ted Cruz.
I discussed this project on Twitter with Brian Thompson, one of the first people I worked with when I freelanced in NYC in 2009. Perhaps this would go on party hats?
Brian told me it'd be too wide for the party hat, which is understandable, so I made this, too.
Maybe it'll go on a party hat. Maybe it'll go on a clipboard. We'll see.
Don't boo. Vote.

A Better Future in Sight
For most people, the ability to see underpins much of daily life: how we earn a living, get from place to place and relate to other people. No wonder the UW Free Community Eye Clinic fills the waiting room on Saturday mornings.
Established more than 15 years ago, the clinic serves uninsured patients referred by local social service organizations and UW Health clinics. On this day, patients gather as volunteer staff, resident physicians and UW Health faculty prepare to start the busy monthly clinic.
In a few minutes, one patient emerges from the doctor's office and explains his plan: seeking a better life for himself and his family, he has moved to Madison from a nearby small town. Without a car, he needs housing and employment on bus lines and must learn to master the Madison Metro bus schedule. He's anxious about the time at the clinic, knowing he will need to take several buses to get to an afternoon appointment about a potential job.
Still, he has time to explain the importance of the clinic. His only pair of glasses had broken several months earlier and without them, he struggled to see well enough to work, fill out job applications and read bus schedules. The glasses were the key to everything, he emphasized. His exam complete, knowing he would get them, he put the plan in motion. He stepped out to catch his first bus.
The Free Community Eye Clinic serves about 120 patients annually. In addition, UW Health partners each year with the Combat Blindness Foundation for the annual Right to Sight free clinic which serves an additional 75 patients. A growing partnership with the Combat Blindness Foundation (www.combatblindness.org) will expand the number of patients served and the services provided, leveraging UW Health's many-year commitment to access to eye care.

Memorial Day: Remembering those who serve
Memorial Day is not just a three day weekend marking the beginning of summer in the United States. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service of the United States of America. Originally it was started to honor Civil War veterans who had given their lives.
Explore the US Memorial Day website to learn more…
Veterans Tribute
My Vietnam veteran friend sent me an email last month with this link to a wonderful Memorial Day tribute to our servicemen and women and their families. It features the West Point Cadet Glee Club and some very touching video footage. It is well worth the time to watch!
I am grateful there are men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. Many false pacifists think if we are just nice to our enemies, they will be nice to us. This is easy for some people in America to think while they sleep safely in their beds at home.
National Day of Prayer May 7
The following was prayed at GM Powertrain Pontiac's National Day of Prayer observance on May 7, 2015:
Prayer for Military, Police and Firefighters
Heavenly Father, we pray for your divine protection for our troops as they defend our freedom and that of our allies around the world. We pray that they would have courage, act justly and love mercy. Watch over their families during their deployments and other separations. And as King David prayed in Psalm 68, we pray that You in Your holy dwelling would be a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows.
Abraham Lincoln said during the dedication of the Civil War cemetery at Gettysburg, "that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
We each know servicemen and women. I pray for Ray Nairn, a psychologist who used to work with Navy Seals and now serves as a hospital administrator. We pray that our wounded veterans would get good care, that only healing hands would touch their bodies and minds, and that all veterans would be able to adjust to civilian life and find meaningful work in the private sector.
We pray for the safety of police officers across America, especially those who serve in urban areas. Give them wisdom, good judgment and skill as they strive to keep our communities safe for everyone. We pray for the split-second decisions many of them must face and for mayors, police chiefs and other government leaders to support them.
Keep everyone aware that as the Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans, the one in authority is "God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain."
We pray that they would bear the sword with integrity and fairness toward everyone.
We pray for firefighters and ambulance workers, that you would protect them in traveling to emergencies as well as fighting fires and other disasters, and for all those who would relieve human suffering. We pray that the crimes of arson and drug-related violence would stop through your kind Providence so that their work would not be hindered.
Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." Our military, police and other public safety people never know if they will come home at night, so we ask for Your protection for them and their families.
Lord, we pray for our hurting cities, towns and rural areas. That as Katherine Lee Bates wrote in the last verse of America the Beautiful,
"O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!"
We know, Lord, that you are sovereign over the affairs of people, and we also know that this vision will not occur on this good but fallen world that You have made, but we trust You to work out all things according to Your purposes. We all want the same good things for our country and for the world.
And as a Christian, I pray for these things in the Name of Jesus, my Savior and King. Amen.
As the next speaker comes up, each of us can name aloud a few people we know who serve in the military or public safety. Our voices will be recognized by the King of the universe.
Dale Murrish, May 7, 2015
The pictures above are from the Town Acres subdivision in Troy, Michigan, where neighborhood volunteers set out an American flag on each lawn every Memorial Day weekend to help people remember the holiday's meaning.

A Guide to Disability Insurance Coverage
Disability Insurance is a type of policy that is tailored to protect a person's income should he or she become critically ill or injured and, as a consequence, be unable to work for a certain time. It pays out for injury to any part of your physical body, including such vital aspects as one's eyesight, hearing, limbs and hands, and even for mental incapacitation.
Who It Helps
All can benefit from this type of policy protection. The sobering fact is that anyone can unexpectedly become injured or sick at any moment and any place, which can then result in the inability to perform one's employment responsibilities. This coverage is often provided to an owner of his or her own business, the self-employed, standard employees and even those who currently unemployed. It has far-reaching potential to all who carry it.
How it Works
Payout levels are determined by the choices of coverage and their levels. Policies are renewable every year and come into effect when a policyholder becomes ill or injured and is unable to perform his or her work duties. When this happens, the policyholder simply files a claim for financial compensation from the insurance provider. Payouts will be in effect until the policyholder is once again well enough to return to work.
Types of Coverage
These insurance policies are generally broken into two categories: Long Term or Short Term. The short term coverage ensures that the covered person receives a regular and significant portion of his or her normal income within the first few weeks of either a sickness or injury. The payment duration will range between three months and a full year depending on the coverage choice. With long term disability coverage one is provided income that enables the covering of necessary living costs derived from such things as sustenance (food), mortgage and car payments, wardrobe (and so on) during a longer period of illness or injury. The insurer will usually provide these payments via the policyholder's employer with the coverage options often including rehab to help the employee more quickly get back to work.
Disability insurance can be a huge help to just about anyone, no matter his or her employment status. A typical person is likely to become disabled before reaching 65 years of age and this is exactly why this insurance coverage is so potentially invaluable.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Barrier Super Plus Fly Repellent for Horses, including answers from our team.
Katherine Langley
My horse had an allergic reaction to the Barrier Super Plus Fly Spray and to Leovet Power Phaser Spray. What are the ingredients so that I can avoid using them in future, can you recommend an alternative fly repellent that does not share ingredients with these products?
Hello Katherine,
Thank you for your question.
The active ingredient in the Barrier Super Plus Fly Spray is Citriodiol which is a Eucalyptus/Lemongrass combination. Other ingredients are Chamomile, Tea Tree, Geraniol and Coconut derivatives.
Hope this helps.
