The Internet of Things combines Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud usage and Edge Computing. In this context data processing in rough environments, bad connectivity or specific security requirements becomes the 'New Normal'. By that pure cloud solutions with near real-time requirements get harder to build or partly impossible.
With Azure IoT Hub and Azure IoT Edge Microsoft addresses these challenges and enables data processing at or closer to the origin of the data.
This Pre-Con session offers an overview and a jumpstart for the technologies and services Microsoft provides for those interested in building intelligent and distributed data processing on the Microsoft Azure Platform.
Attendees of this Pre-Con will learn about:
- Azure IoT Hub and Azure IoT Edge
- IoT Edge on Raspberry PI3 as IoT Edge Device (Setup and connection with IoT Hub and the Azure Container Registry)
- Quick intro to Docker and Docker Containers
- From a simple data stream to using a Cognitive Service (e.g. Custom Vision) on the device
- Provisioning of an (AI) Module on an IoT Edge Device
- Marcel Tilly is Professor in Cloud Computing at University of Applied Studies in Rosenheim, Germany. During his 13 years at Microsoft he was working on topics around IoT, Big Data, Deep Learning and AI; nowadays, he is looking into cognitive systems. His research focus is on applying various approaches from artificial intelligence to systems in real world scenarios to enable new application domains in industry.
- Constantin "Kostja" Klein is working at Syntax Systems GmbH & Co. KG. There he leads the Microsoft Consulting business and is mainly dealing with the design and development of modern solutions based on Microsoft products and technologies. He is especially interested in retrieval, handling and utilization of data and information. More recently he also developed a passion for AI and IoT. Since 2010 he was every year designated Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for the Microsoft Data Platform. In addition, he is member of the board of PASS Deutschland e.V. (http://www.sqlpass.de) and Just Community e.V. (http://www.justcommunity.de).
The attendees are welcome to test the topics practically. In order to do this, they need:
- Computer/Laptop with Windows 10 or macOS 10.10+ and ideally Admin access in order to being able to install additional software on the device
- Azure Subscription, in case they have one and want to keep the environment after the event in order to continue to work with it. Alternatively they could also use an Azure Free Account or an Azure PASS. (I'll try to bring some!)
- With regard to Software: Ideally they would have Visual Studio Code pre-installed
Regular registration after 31st of October: 159,00 €/person

When people bought multi-million dollar condos in San Francisco's Millennium Tower, they probably thought they'd bought into a foolproof investment. After all, the San Francisco housing market has skyrocketed since the beginning of the tech boom; a million dollar condo in San Francisco, bought ten years ago, is now worth several times that. So they're understandably furious that, just a few years later, their homes are now worth nothing.
That's because Millennium Tower is sinking. Well, half of it is. Since the 58-story building was completed in 2009, half of it has sunk 16 inches, giving it a pronounced northwestern tilt. Occupants of the luxury tower have demonstrated the tilt for reporters by rolling a golf ball across the floor and watching it curve dramatically to one side. Why does Millennium Tower tilt? There are multiple reasons, and like most home improvement disasters, they're mostly related to cost-cutting. First, the tower is built of concrete instead of steel – concrete is much cheaper, but it's also much heavier. The tower is also built on a landfill, and as you might imagine, thousands of trash bags full of disposable diapers and banana peels isn't the most stable foundation for a 58-story apartment building. But what about the foundation? Well, the builders skimped out on that too, setting down an experimental foundation that was much smaller – and much cheaper – than a conventional one. It hasn't worked out. Now the tower, which cost $350 million to build, is looking at a repair job that could cost over $500 million.
But as dangerous as they may seem, tilting buildings aren't inherently dangerous. Just because a building tilts doesn't mean it's inevitably going to fall. Take, for example, the world's most popular site for taking unfunny photos; the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was built over 800 years ago and is still standing tall-ish. Construction on the tower began way back in 1173, and by the time they started work on the second floor, only three years in, the tilting had already begun. So did they halt construction and correct the problem? Nope. They went to war with a neighboring republic for a hundred years. When they came back to the tower after a century had passed, the soil had settled enough to stabilize the tower. They finished it, and it lasted just fine until the 1990s, when officials reinforced it with cables and straightened the tower by a few centimeters by digging out from under the higher side of the tower.
In Windsor, England, is a house even more tilted than the Leaning Tower or the Millennium Tower. Built in 1592, the Crooked House of Windsor was torn down by the city in 1687 to make way for a new building. But when the owner protested, the city council reversed its decision and ordered that the house be rebuilt. The city must have hired the cheapest builders they could find, because the replacement house was built with unseasoned green wood. As the wood dried, the structure of the house buckled and warped. Today, the vertigo-inducing house is a cafe, and a minor tourist attraction. And unlike most of the other buildings on this list, it didn't require any reinforcement.
Most leaning buildings do, though. The Pisa tower was repaired with cables, a redug foundation, and lead counterweights on the high side of the building. But what about Millennium Tower? Experts are considering several options, ranging from building a concrete "collar" around the building, to inserting "micropiles" – basically long concrete rods – under the shaky foundations, to anchor the building to the bedrock below. Both of those solutions would cost hundreds of millions, and take years. But the simplest and best solution might be the one that sounds the most ludicrous; build a new building directly next door, and let the tower lean on it like a drunk at closing time. As stupid as it sounds, it's already been done. In 1907, the Fisher Building in Chicago began to tilt precipitously. The owners bought the lot next door and built an even bigger, taller building that rubbed shoulders with the original building. Once the tilter settled into place, the two buildings together were as stable as any normal building, and are still standing tall today. I just wish I could be a fly on the wall when the San Francisco developers ask the bank for a few hundred million more dollars to build a second luxury skyscraper on top of the marshy landfill, to prop up the first luxury skyscraper on top of the marshy landfill.

Readers, it's that time again: time for another "Ask Mindy." Welcome back to the world of Mindy Morals, the "brake shoe guru" from Brushyknob, Missouri. Do you know the way to San Jose? Mindy doesn't but she can get you to Insightville, population you In this installment, Mindy answers questions about privacy.
Dear Mindy,
I'm beset on all sides. My enemies hate me, of course. I can't blame them, really—what else can you expect from haters and losers except for jealousy and spite? When you're a tremendous success, everybody wants a piece. You can't let it affect you.
But it's the attacks from my so-called friends that have me angry and sad. Recently, a good friend—a loser chump who probably couldn't pull babes like me and has a fraction of the money that I do, but a friend nonetheless—revealed that he'd taped me saying many unflattering things. It's not that I don't stand by my own words—I have the best words, believe me—but rather that some of the losers out there might not get how "real" I am.
What do I do Mindy?
Sex Lies Audiotape
Dear Audiotape,
Wow, your story certainly rings a bell! When I worked at the Necco Wafer factory, my fellow confectioners and I would occasionally gossip about our boss. Nothing major, just a few jokes here and there. Well, word eventually got to him, and he started a taping system to monitor what we were saying. I had already left the company by that time, but if I hadn't things could have gotten really rough for me!
But on to your question. Although you frame your question solely in terms of the taping, I think your real dilemma is a lot simpler: how do I deal with the end of a friendship? Unfortunately, it sounds like the relationship's end may have been warranted. Judging by the superiority you seem to feel toward your former and friend (indeed, toward nearly everybody) it's no wonder that he eventually tired of your companionship.
So forget about yourself for a minute, Audiotape. Try apologizing to your friend for taking him for granted. And who knows? Maybe he'll respond in turn.
Dear Mindy,
I run a small bait and tackle shop somewhere in the deep, deep south. It's not important where—just know that even without the Kudzu and the bayou beetles and the shotgun shacks that line the dusty roads, it's hard to mistake it for anywhere else. It has a lonesomeness to it that makes a man feel himself.
But things have changed, Mindy. Recently, a family moved in across the dusty road. They're not suited to the Southern lifestyle. The husband has some sales job in the city, the wife spends all day brewing her kombucha and stinking up the whole street, and the kids are always playing that infernal jazz music.
It's not me I'm worried about, it's my bait. My worms are the best in the Parrish because they are bred in complete silence. But with all the saxophone music coming over here, I'm worried they'll be stunted and gamey.
At Ease, Private
Dear Private
Ah, a good ole boy! I wonder if I can't figure where you're from…Mr. Morals graduated from LSU (and in less than 7 years—rare, I'm led to believe) and I know the bayou like the back of my griddle. Opelousas, Louisiana maybe? Or Hot Coffee, Mississippi?
Either way, I think I have the answer to your question. It sounds like you've been consumed with stewing about your neighbors that you haven't even asked them to keep it down! Why not ask them to restrict their noise to a certain time of day so that you can grow your worms in peace? It's worth a try!
Dear Mindy,
I'm worried about my bank account. The other day I went to the bank to check on my savings and they said everything was ok but then I went home and I got to worrying you see you never know how secure things are and so I called them up and I said hey this is Cletus [not my name] and I'd like the account info on account XXXXXX and they said well sir, we don't just hand that out you need to be an accountholder for anything well that got me thinking, my cousin who isn't an account holder, I gave him all the account information to see if he could help break in just to check the security and wouldn't you know with my social security and my mother's maiden name and all that he was able to withdraw $20.
What Do I do?
Bank and File
Dear Bank,
Wow, a real life Brink's Job! Believe it or not, I was once a bank robber. I went up and down the east coast, doing stick-up job after stick-up job, always escaping seconds before the coppers came. Yes, it was a fun life, but like all fun things, I had to give it up when I was pregnant with Mindy, Jr. (Don't worry Sweets—Mommy still loves you!)
I'm just kidding, of course. (Or am I?) But your question reminds me of how much anxiety we all have around money. Sometimes, it can cause us to act very irrationally! I can't really give you any concrete advice on how to keep your account protected, since I don't work at a bank. But I can promise you that you have nothing to worry about—sadly, modern banks are incredibly secure.
But just to be sure, if your bank has a branch in the tristate area, maybe make sure that they're using all unmarked, non-sequential bills? No reason, it just might give you a better sense of ease.
That's it for this week, but Mindy is always taking questions. Need help solving your dilemma? Just email email@example.com. You just might read your answer in next week's column.

This house plan was reversed as no other available.
It was Graeme Black, not sure of Mrs Blacks name though.
The plan is now correct for No 10 Allambee Cres.
This plan is incorrect for No.10.
The House at No. 10 was the MIRROR of the plan shown, rotated about the Section A axis.
i.e. the kitchen at the bottom and the front door at the top.
At No. 10 The Blacks were there after the Nordens - ? and ? , with daughter Wendy.
At No. 8 - after Lansells were the McDonalds - Bob, Babs, son Robert and daughter Margaret.
No. 12 was usually occupied by hospital staff - Ryle was Dr Ryle, then Cadwallada, then Reg Water (Radiologist), with children Pam?, Paul, and twins Jackie and Cecily.

The clock-maker who helped fashion art from science
Savvy, old-school patronage may be the only way scientifically complex, sophisticated artworks can be made now – to judge by Europe's largest art fair
IT'S not often that artists presenting new work ask for the lights to be turned off, but here it makes sense. We hunker in the dark of hall 2 at the Messe Basel exhibition centre in Switzerland as tiny lights spill over the mesh sides of a large mechanical sculpture, producing tracks and spirals, and interference.
There is plenty of noise, too: HALO is essentially a gigantic bass harp, playing a score derived from raw data …

Kashmir: 'It's a very dangerous situation for India'
Ever since the flare-up in Kashmir worsened, veteran diplomat Howard B Schaffer, author of The Limits of Influence: America's Role in Kashmir, has been a much sought after expert in think tank circles in Washington, DC.
In an interview with rediff.com's Aziz Haniffa, Schaffer says if Delhi continues to be in denial, and Islamabad is tempted to stoke the fires as it always has, the Kashmir situation could unravel fast.
What is your take on the flare-up in Kashmir? Is it the so-called 'intifada' of two decades ago all over again?
It's a very dangerous situation for India because I believe this is a very genuine expression of thorough dissatisfaction with Kashmir's connection to India, launched by young people who can remember only conflict in their lives -- when you consider that the conflict began just about 20 years ago with the outbreak of the insurgency and the people who are involved in it now cannot remember any kind of stable situation.
And, they are convinced from various points of view -- the economic, political and cultural -- that they have no future as part of India, that their economic futures look very dim. Obviously, they don't trust the Indian authority and they seem to have turned their backs on all of the political leadership, both in the pro-India parties, which are taking part in the political process, and on the Hurriyat group because the Hurriyat people, it seems to me, seem to be sidelined and they are in the situation of leaders who are hastening to catch up with their followers.
I hope that India will follow through with the political efforts that have now been undertaken following the visit of that all-party group to the state a week ago. But what's very important is this -- that the record would indicate that India announces efforts to reform and then these peter out when the situation in the valley calms down. I hope that won't happen now.

'Hurriyat leaders have been completely sidelined'
Twenty years ago, too, when the insurgency first began, it was an indigenous movement; but then it got contaminated?
Yes, then too, 20 years ago, it started as an indigenous movement. The Indian side admitted that it was an indigenous movement but the Pakistanis moved to take it over. And, their efforts to take it over were quite brutal because people to who they looked for support and whom they supported turned on -- at Pakistani direction -- those who favoured independence and not an amalgamation with Pakistan. Now, so far at least, no evidence, credible to me, has been brought to light that the Pakistanis are involved. But the ISI will be strongly tempted to fish in these troubled waters, just as they did 20 years ago.
What is the distinct difference between then and now? As you said, these are young guys who grew up -- as you say -- knowing nothing but conflict, suppression, repression, etc. But you still find the old guard like Syed Ali Shah Geelani making the tough provocative statements as if he calls the shots and is pulling the strings?
I don't believe so for all his talk, because as I said, I believe the Hurriyat leaders have not been at the centre of things. They've been completely sidelined, (but) they've been trying to get back into controlling position. You hear interviews with these young people and they are seemingly acting on their own. Now Geelani is trying; he declares boycott days, shutdown days, but I think the difference to me is that this seems to be a very spontaneous movement by people without solid political background.
Why is it so dangerous? Couldn't the argument be made that this is a bunch of kids who started pelting stones at the Indian troops who probably overreacted?
It's dangerous for the reason that the Pakistanis will again be tempted to intervene and -- coming at a time when India-Pakistan relations continue to be tense in the wake of the Mumbai attack -- that this could create the possibility of another confrontation.

'After 63 years as part of India, Kashmiris remain alienated'
You indicated that the Indian government seems to have made the right moves, with the all-party delegation giving pretty much an objective report to Delhi and there being some genuine efforts to address some of the grievances?
I believe the Indian response has been useful although it is very belated. After all, the troubles began on June 11 and it wasn't until mid-September that the Indians recognised that the situation was serious enough to lead them to take what was an unprecedented step of sending an all-party group to Kashmir. Obviously, they wanted to diffuse the responsibility and the blame among other political parties in India.
Now, some of the steps that have been taken are good ones, but it is much too early to make a judgement as to how far the Indians will be prepared to go to offer concessions that will be meaningful to the Kashmiris. They have once again talked about economic efforts, but these things have happened repeatedly in the past and the Indians will tell you quite rightly that India has invested a lot of money in Kashmir. But the trouble has always been that the money has gone into the wrong pockets.
As far as political changes go, we have to see what they are going to do about the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. It's good that they are releasing a bunch of youngsters from jail, that they are going to try to be less combative in dealing with these stone-throwing incidents, that people who have not committed serious crimes will be let off.
These are all good things, but again, we've got to see where it all leads to. And, the problem remains that -- and polling confirms this and this is incredible -- after 63 years as part of India, Kashmiris remain alienated and want to be outside of India. They no longer are interested in joining Pakistan. I mean, who would be interested in joining Pakistan?
But it is amazing that so much time has passed and so many Indian efforts have been announced but this sense of alienation continues all the way through society among Muslims in the valley.

'India has to resist the temptation of passing the blame to Pak'
In New York in September, there seemed to be an opportunity for a summit between External Affairs Minister S M Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly sessions. But after the Pakistani foreign minister's biting remarks against India on Kashmir, the Indians ruled out any chance of a summit. After rhetoric that followed, it seems to have killed any chance of a summit for the moment and the resurrection of the composite dialogue between Delhi and Islamabad.
The last few words that you used -- for the moment -- are certainly applicable. The Pakistani leadership is faced with a difficult problem. Here, a 100-plus people have been killed in the valley of Kashmir. This has had a considerable impact in Pakistan, as it always does. So, would it have been politically possible for him (Qureshi) being in New York to have said nothing about the Kashmir issue? I don't think it would have been possible for him to do that.
But what is important is not what the Pakistanis say -- they've got to say something -- it's what they do; and what they should not be doing is interfering. And, I hope the Indian side will be honest in appraising what happens because there will be every temptation to say, 'Well, this is all the Pakistan's fault,' or, even if it started as an indigenous movement, that now 'the Pakistanis have taken it over'.
But that's a cheap way out, and the Indians have got to resist the temptation of passing the blame to the Pakistanis and have to persist with these useful steps that have been announced, beginning with (Prime Minister) Manmohan Singh's speech and then going on to the eight points that were announced following the return from Kashmir of the all-party delegation members.

But it's not clear if MPs face a three-line whip
Jeremy Corbyn has said Labour will vote to trigger Article 50 if the Supreme Court rules parliament must vote on launching Brexit.
However, it wasn't clear if Labour MPs would face a three-line whip.
It comes ahead of the court's decision on Tuesday on the government's appeal of a High Court ruling that only parliament has the power to trigger Article 50.
If the Supreme Court upholds the High Court's decision, the Prime Minister could call a vote on Article 50 as early as next week.
Corbyn told Sky News:
"It is very clear. The referendum made a decision that Britain was to leave the European Union. It was not to destroy jobs or living standards or communities but it was to leave the European Union and to have a different relationship in the future.
I've made it very clear the Labour party accepts and respects the decision of the British people. We will not block article 50."
When asked if Labour MPs will face a three-line whip, he said:
"It means that Labour MPs will be asked to vote in that direction next week, or whenever the vote comes up."
His remarks were attacked by Tim Farron, leader of the pro-Remain Liberal Democrats, who accused Labour of providing weak opposition.
Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty will start the process of Britain leaving the EU within two years.

David Lindsay
There ought to be an amendment insisting on that extra £350 million per week for the NHS. But the people expressing even the mildest surprise at Jeremy Corbyn's approach to Article 50 know literally nothing about the Left. Corbyn would have voted for Article 50 even if there had been a Labour three-line whip to vote against it. Now, though, he is the Leader. Wherever you are, Tony Benn, this one is for you.
A three-line whip to vote in favour of Article 50 would not "force" Labour MPs to vote for it. It would just be a three-line whip. MPs would be within their rights to break it, as Jeremy Corbyn did often enough. And to take the consequences, which should be understood in light of the fact that Corbyn is still alive, is still possessed of all four limbs and all five senses, is still a Member of Parliament, and is now the Leader of the Labour Party. What would those bemoaning this whip have had instead? A free vote? A whip to overturn the referendum result? What, exactly?

Trigger Article 50 provided the Government agree to spend £350m per week on the NHS.

There is a quote about sisters that I love; it says, "A sister is a little piece of childhood that can never be lost."
These words ring truer and truer as I get older and older. My sister is a little piece of my childhood; she is my best friend, and she knows me better than anyone else.
Now, before I continue being sappy, I would like to remind anyone reading this, especially if you know my sister and me today, that we have not always been best friends. Only about 9 years ago did we really start liking each other.
Anyone who remembers Rachel and me back in the day probably remembers a lot of bickering, clothes stealing, shouting, and running. Back in those days I truly was the big sister. These days though, Rachel maintains that older sister persona.
But let us travel back in time for a moment…
One night when Rae and I were somewhere around 9 and 13, respectively, we were sitting in her room with two of our block friends playing "poker." (Speed. We were playing the card game speed, and whoever won got the random crap we "bet." E.g. chapstick, mini stuffed animals, a dollar, nail polish, etc.) Rachel and I were sitting on her bed, which was the bottom bunk of a perpendicular set of bunk beds—we had moved out into our own rooms some time before this—getting ready to play our first game of Speed; our friends, a pair of brothers from across the street, were on the floor playing their first game. Before we started though, I smelled something horrible. A bit like rotten eggs, a bit like, well, poop. And I seemed to get a whiff of it every time Rachel said something.
"Ugh. Rae. Go brush your teeth. Your breath stinks!" I scolded her.
Like the good little sister she was in that moment, probably because she was embarrassed in front of our friends, she crawled over our game to go brush her teeth.
When she returned, we got ready to play, but as soon as she leaned forward, I smelled it again.
"Rae! Did you actually brush your teeth?!"
"Yes!" She breathed into her cupped hand and smelled it. Then she leaned forward to breathe on me.
"No you didn't! It still smells!" I shouted at her in disgust.
So, she crawled over me and our setup, again, to brush her teeth. Again.
She came back into the room, saying in a huff, "You're being so mean." As she prepared to climb back over our game to her spot, I noticed something at the back of her bed, sitting on her pillow. It was brown. I leaned forward and discovered where the smell had really been coming from.
Just then our new puppy, Baby, came barging into the room and jumped up on the bed, totally knocking over our cards. And that's when we all realized: Baby had pooped on Rachel's pillow.
The impenetrable stench was not Rae's stinky breath. It was Baby's poop. A pile of literal shit perched perfectly at the center of her pillow. We died laughing—well at least our friends and I did. Rachel might have started crying, or yelling at me for being mean to her, I don't quite remember.
I am so thankful for memories like this, and not just because they're fun to write about, but because we laugh and reminisce, and it feels like yesterday that we were little kids playing "poker," or two adults buying foam swords and chasing each other around the house with them (I still contend, no matter what my mother says, that those were one of the best purchases we ever made.), or being unable to say grace for weeks on end because of laughter for no good reason other than we knew it was going to happen.
The time spent with my sister is never dull. I believe everyone deserves a sister. I know that I'm biased because I have the best sister, but I truly believe there is nothing like that bond.
"I'm happy you accept me for who I am, and that I can tell you when I do embarrassing things."
"That's what sisters are for. Also, I am exceptionally weird too. And you love me anyway."
I'm going to close with another set of words about sisterhood that I love. I think these words encapsulate the true blessing a sister is. Especially mine.
"She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. And some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child."

READING The library in my office is filled with hundreds of books. When I'm sick of a negotiation or angry with an associate for incompetence, I take a breather and go to my shelf and pick up a book. It takes me away. I recently read "Civilization: The West and the Rest," by Niall Ferguson. This book has been a topic of conversation because it gives a broad sweep of how civilizations rise and fall — what drove Western economic and social dominance and also how China declined from its peak of excellence in the 15th and 16th centuries.
LISTENING Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and Jordin Sparks. I saw really excellent movies about them. You must see "Sparkle" with Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston. When I hear their music, I feel my body swaying and my feet tapping.
WATCHING I watch Chinese television programs. Most recently, I watched the epic story of the Ming dynasty's Zhu Yuan Zhang and how he reigned by exercising both benevolence and the rule of law. I also watch modern Chinese dramas about working in cities and having parents in rural areas, love stories where one is working in Shanghai and the other in Beijing and satires about politics. I do business development in China, so I need to know what the Chinese are watching; what are the controversies and debates; the pathos and engagement. It becomes my currency or icebreaker at party settings and when I negotiate. It isn't just entertainment.
FOLLOWING I rarely surf the Internet except for news when I'm on the road. I'm a digital refugee.
DRESSING My happiest hobby is to spend a whole afternoon experimenting with my wardrobe and jewelry to compose a look to project the "me" in various settings.
CELEBRATING Food is the dominant theme this February. We are in the throes of Chinese New Year celebration in Singapore, so there is an abundance of oranges, grilled pork, kueh lapis — multilayered cake soaked in butter and sugar — wine and yummy pastries. We all get sore throats during this season due to excessive eating, yet we suffer and continue to feast.

Inspired By 1964
Made in Massachusetts from our Varsity Cotton, the Grayboy Tank is our take on a team-issued top. All our Grayboys are earned with sweat, especially this marathon edition.
Our first marathon kit of 2019 celebrates the legacy and unrivaled passion of Japanese long distance running and is inspired by marathoner Kokichi Tsuburaya's race at the 1964 Olympics – one of the most dramatic finishes in history. That day, thousands of Japanese running fans roared as Tsuburaya entered Tokyo's National Stadium in second place with just one lap of the track to go. However, British athlete Basil Heatley was close in pursuit. On the backstretch, Heatley caught Tsuburaya, pulling ahead on the straight away to finish just seconds ahead of the exhausted Japanese runner. Despite the defeat, Tsuburaya was hailed as a national hero, and his bronze was the only athletics medal for running-mad Japan in 1964.
As part of the collection launch, we worked with Tokyo-based illustrator Hiroki Nishiyama to capture the pieces in a series of graphic compositions, showcasing his unique "flat sculptures" and celebrating the spirit of Japan's largest marathon.

We need iron to produce haemoglobin in our blood, which carries oxygen around our body. If iron is deficient in the body, the production of haemoglobin is reduced, the red cells are therefore reduced or weak, and this is known as anaemia.
There may be no symptoms at first, then tiredness, weakness, breathlessness, faintness and loss of interest in things are the main symptoms.
Who needs more and why?
- Babies, children and teenagers because they are growing rapidly
- Girls and women who have periods, due to loss of blood each month
- Pregnant women who need enough iron for themselves and their growing baby. This is particularly true towards the end of pregnancy when the baby is growing most rapidly.
- Athletes, particularly endurance runners
Adults should limit milk intake to 500 mL a day while on iron tablets. Avoid excess caffeine, fad diets and excess processed bread. Eat ample iron-rich foods (especially protein).
Protein foods
meats: beef (especially), veal, pork, liver, poultry
fish and shellfish (e.g. oysters, sardines, tuna)
seeds (e.g. sesame, pumpkin)
dried fruits (e.g. prunes, figs, raisins, currants, peaches)
juices (e.g. prune, blackberry)
most fresh fruit
greens (e.g. spinach, silver beet, lettuce)
dried peas and beans (e.g. kidney beans)
pumpkin, sweet potatoes
iron-fortified breads and dry cereals
oatmeal cereal
The iron in meat, fish and chicken is called haem iron and is more abundant and more easily absorbed than the iron in vegetables, which is called non-haem iron. It is best to get iron from a variety of sources - protein in meat also helps your gut absorb non-haem iron.
To increase the absorption of non-haem iron try to have vitamin C <http://www.nutritionfoundation.org.nz/nutrition-facts/vitamins/vitamin-c> rich foods - such as kiwifruit, citrus fruits, orange juice and capsicums - at the same time. For example, a glass of orange juice with your breakfast cereal will increase the iron absorbed from the cereal.
Tea reduces the amount of iron absorbed by the body. Drink tea between meals, or wait at least ½ -1 hour after eating.
Iron supplements are usually tablets, but if you need a lot of additional iron your doctor may give you an injection. Iron tablets turn your bowel motions black and can cause indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea or nausea. If so, your doctor may change them. Vitamin C also helps you absorb the iron in iron tablets.
Take iron on an empty stomach (e.g. 30 minutes before meals)
Take vitamin C to help absorption
Wait 2 hours before taking other medications such as antacids
Take iron tablets with a small amount of food (not milk) if they upset the stomach
Continue the tablets for at least 3 months
In children iron is best given daily before meals with orange juice (not milk). Liquid iron can discolour children's teeth - drinking it through a straw helps avoid this. Milk intake should be no more than 500 mL a day.

How does a Tankless Water Heater Work?
These water heaters deliver hot water on demand. Unlike traditional heaters, the water is not stored in a tank but runs from the source to the heater which has a set of coils or burners and then proceeds to the faucet for use.
They come with a rated maximum temperature at a given flow rate. If you are installing it to use with the shower, for example, you may have a fair idea of the temperature of the water from the source.
The demand also determines the temperature of the water. Say two people are taking a shower, the application of the water is higher which means it may not have enough time to heat before it is called to use again. The more the output fixtures, the cooler the water will be if you don't choose the right size for your requirements.
That's why you may need more than one tankless water heaters stationed at different demand locations.
What is the Right Size Tankless Water Heaters?
No one likes the idea of an ice-cold shower, but if your water heater cannot meet your household demands, you may be in for some unwanted cold baths.
Determining the right size water heater can be a tricky subject, but is important for the most fulfilling experience.
- How many appliances do you expect to run and what is their total flow rate?
Know the total flow rate from all your outlets. This is going to be the total demand flow rate of your water heater.
- What is your Desired Temperature Rise?
The temperature of the incoming water minus the temperature of the output water is the temperature rise.
If the water in your area tends to get too cold, you may need to increase the water temperature by more than 60degrees. But let's assume your incoming water is at 490F. Your water heater will need to provide a temperature rise of 560F to get to the ideal temperature of 1050F.
Assuming you want to use the shower while someone else is running a bath, the shower will intake 2.6 gallons of water a minute while the tub will require 3 gallons of water a minute. Both of you will amount to 5.6 gallons of water a minute.
The water heater, in this scenario, should be able to raise the temperature of 5.6 gallons of water a minute by 560F.
Types of Tankless Water Heaters
The fuel that these water heaters use categorizes them into following types.
- Electric Tankless Water Heaters
These are the cheapest kind. They run on electric coils to heat the water as it is drawn into the heater. Their only drawback is that they are small so they are ideal for small to medium households with no excessive usage. If you want to stick to an electric model, you may need several units to meet the demands of a large home.
- Natural Gas Tankless Water Heaters
These heaters have the highest flow rates in a minute than their other counterparts. Natural gas water heaters are powerful units; thus, they are useful for large homes since you may need only one of them to provide the desired temperature rise for all your appliances. These models are the most expensive and will require ventilation and proper installation.
- Propane Tankless Water Heaters
Just like the natural gas water heaters, they use burners and heat exchangers to heat the water directly as it enters the unit. Propane heaters are generally smaller and surprisingly light in weight. Most units are quite energy efficient. The difference is in the way they burn the fuel, and are tricky to operate in confined spaces. They will need power vents for exhaust gases and yearly inspections.
How to Install a Tankless Water Heater
For installation, it is advisable to utilize the skills of a professional plumber. But if you are willing to go DIY, then you need to know how to turn off the water from the main supply line of your house and follow a few guidelines.
For a gas-powered water heater, you will need to:
- Install the required gas line for the water heater
- Install copper water lines for the new water heater
- Build a secure platform for the water heater. It should be a covered platform, with the vents passing through to the outside, in case you're installing a natural gas or propane water heater
- Secure the water heater to the platform using screws
- Attach the gas shut-off valve and the sediment trap. Next, connect the stainless steel line (corrugated). Ensure it is tightly secured with nuts
- Connect the water heater to the water supply line
- Turn on the gas and check for any leakages through a gas sniffer
- Connect the venting pipes, connectors, and elbows
- Install the interior and external metal thimble from the outside wall
- Connect the water heater to the electric supply and perform proper insulation
- Turn the gas on and press the on/start button.
Maintaining a Tankless Water Heater
To keep your water heater efficient, it is vital to carry out maintenance at least once every year. You will need to remove limescale that will gather around the heat exchange elements over time. If left unchecked, you may experience longer burn times, accompanied by strain and an eventual lack of heating of the water. This would ultimately translate to a short service life.
The maintenance process usually involves flushing out the limescale using undiluted white vinegar. The filter should also undergo cleaning which involves running it under cold water.
The best way to ensure superior usage is to follow the manufacturer's instructions that accompany the heater.
Advantages of a Tankless Water Heater
- Low Operation Costs
This is perhaps their biggest advantage. The fact that no water is on standby means that energy is not being used to keep the water hot until the time it is used.
- Compact
They require very little installation space, for the most part. They can be mounted on the wall, under the sink, and any other position that demands hot water. Consequentially they're very easy to use.
- Reliable
The longevity of these models cannot be underestimated. This is because any breakdown is quick to fix. All the parts in a tankless water heater are replaceable. In contrast, it is unlikely you will be able to replace a leaking storage tank on a tank-style water heater.
- Continuous Supply of Hot Water
Usually with a traditional water heater, if water runs out of the tank, you will need to wait for it to reach the ideal temperature before you use it. But tankless heaters heat the requisite amount of water directly from the source thus giving you an endless supply of hot water on demand.
- Low Maintenance
You don't have to worry about the effect that the tank has on water. In traditional tank-style heaters, minerals deposit in the tank 24 hours a day. Tankless units eliminate mineral deposits and rusty water that could run through the pipe from the tank so you get to enjoy fresh water from the supply every day. The deposits can undermine the tank over time, resulting in possible extra expenditure.
Disadvantages of Tankless Water Heaters
- High Initial Costs
They cost way more than traditional water heaters. Some may even cost upwards of 3 times the cost of a conventional heater, which is a hefty difference. But on the flip side, you will be able to recoup all that cost because of lower energy bills over time.
- May not be Enough
These can only heat so much water in a minute. They may never deliver the right temperature if the demand is high. This means you may need to invest in a number of them to satisfy the needs of a large household, or invest in a bigger one suited for your requirements.
- Not all are Eco-Friendly
Electric water heaters are environment-friendly. But gas-powered models require to vent exhaust fumes, which means they are not exactly green. If you are looking to make better energy choices, an electric water heater may be a much better idea.
Wrap Up
Why not upgrade to a tankless system with one of the models from our list. These units save on space, are energy efficient, and they guarantee a continuous flow of hot water. You can expect outstanding performance whether you want a small model for residential use or you are looking for high water flow rate for a large home or commercial use.
Our top recommendation for home is the EcoSmart ECO 27 Electric Tankless Water Heater. It is self-modulating to help it draw enough energy depending on the flow rate.
The Rinnai RUC98iN Ultra Series is an ideal pick for commercial use. With a flow rate of 9.8GPM, it provides one of the highest water-flows thanks to the use of natural gas.

Watching Fourth of July fireworks may be fun, but the most beautiful firework display can turn ugly in an instant when not used safely. Mishandled or malfunctioning fireworks can result in serious burns and even life-threatening injuries.
Last year, Ascension Via Christi Regional Burn Center — Kansas' first and largest verified burn center for adults and children — treated 25 patients with fireworks-related burns and traumatic injuries, including seven whose injuries required admission to the hospital. Of the 25, half were children, including one toddler.
"Safety should always come first when handling fireworks," said Sarah Fischer, MSN, RN, Burn Program coordinator for Ascension Via Christi Regional Burn Center. "To ensure you have a fun and safe Independence Day, take the time to prepare your environment and educate your children."
If you choose to use fireworks, follow these guidelines:
- Never let young children play with fireworks or sparklers.
- Don't allow children to pick up spent fireworks after they are ignited. They remain hot for a while and some may still explode at any time.
- Never light fireworks in your hand or near your face.
- Never ignite fireworks in a glass or metal container. The container may explode or shatter, sending shrapnel long distances with great force.
- Keep a bucket of water or hose close by to douse "duds."
- Never attempt to relight fireworks.
- Ensure mortar/artillery shell tubes are secure and on stable ground to avoid tipping.
- Put all used sparklers in a bucket of water, as they burn at temperatures of more than 1,200 degrees F and may remain hot for a long time.
- Always light only one firework at a time and do not group fireworks together.
If an accident involving fireworks occurs, call 911 and keep the patient warm and calm until help arrives.
If clothing catches fire from fireworks:
- Immediately have the person stop, drop and roll until the fire is extinguished.
- Remove clothing, shoes, diapers or jewelry. These may hide burns and retain heat, increasing the skin damage. After removal of items, cover person with a clean, dry sheet.
- Cool the burn with water for a short time.
- Never use ice on a burn. It can cause further injury.
