Lewis Hamilton wins Canadian GP pole, ties Ayrton Senna on all-time list
UPDATED: Sat., June 10, 2017
MONTREAL – Lewis Hamilton held the bright yellow helmet over his head for the cheering crowd to see, and gave it a kiss as if he had already won the weekend's biggest prize.
The souvenir: A helmet worn by Ayrton Senna, whose family sent it in anticipation of one three-time Formula One champion matching another by claiming his 65th career pole position on Saturday at the Canadian Grand Prix.
"This is the most special thing I have, above all my trophies and everything," Hamilton said after setting a record at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve with a qualifying lap of 1 minute, 11.459 seconds. "I'm shaken, speechless. Ayrton, he was why I wanted to be here today."
Hamilton remains three poles behind Michael Schumacher's career record of 68. But it was Senna, Hamilton's favorite driver, who was the target.
And seeing the yellow helmet brought back memories of his childhood in Britain, where he would pop in videotapes of Senna's races and say, "That's my driver."
"That's what kids notice, the yellow helmet," Hamilton said. "As a kid, I would come home and I would go, 'If I'm really lucky and can get to Formula One, I want to emulate Ayrton.'"
A five-time winner at the Canadian GP, which celebrates its 50th anniversary, Hamilton already led qualifying – but by just four one-thousandths of a second over Sebastien Vettel – when he made his final trip around the circuit.
It was the fastest qualifying lap ever at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, almost 1.5 seconds faster than the pace that won him last year's pole and even one second better than Vettel ran in his Ferrari during Saturday morning's practice.
"It was a sexy lap," Hamilton said.
Vettel was still on the track, with another chance to catch Hamilton. But the F1 leader lost time in Turn 2 and couldn't make up the time. He finished three-hundredths behind, followed by Valtteri Bottas in the other Mercedes and Kimi Raikkonen in the other Ferrari.
"He was the better man today," Vettel said. "But the car is really good. It should be really good in the race."
Vettel holds a 129-104 lead over Hamilton in the standings as Mercedes and Ferrari have dueled in one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory.
"I'm expecting it to be very close in the race with Ferrari," Bottas said. "It's all about tomorrow."
Hamilton was seventh in Monaco in the last race, his lowest finish this year and his second time missing the podium in six races. But a return to Canada, where he earned his first victory in 2007 and is the two-time defending champion, gives Mercedes a chance to close the gap in the standings.
"I really do love this track," he said. "Today we showed that we can have an answer (to Ferrari) if we put the work in."
Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo were fifth and sixth in qualifying, and Felipe Massa was seventh in what has come to be known as the "best of the rest."
"This circuit is not our favorite and doesn't particularly suit us, so (fifth) was the best we could aim for," Verstappen said. "Ferrari and Mercedes are able to turn their engines up and find that extra pace. We can't do that at the moment."
The Honda of two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso, which has struggled to be competitive, was 12th.
"Obviously, we'd like to be further forward, but I believe we maximized the potential today with a good, clean lap," Alonso said. "The first priority tomorrow will be to finish the race. And, if we can be in the points, that'll be great."
Local favorite Lance Stroll, who would be the first native Montrealais to drive in the Canadian GP since Jacques Villeneuve, the 1997 world champion and the son of the track's namesake, was 17th. He was locked out of a chance to improve when a crash by Pascal Wehrlein ended the first qualifying session early.

Ear infection is caused by bacterial or viral infection in the middle ear - the section of the ear behind the eardrum. A very painful condition, it sometimes goes unnoticed in children, as they are unable to communicate the severity of the pain they are going through and where exactly the pain is. All they do or rather can do is cry. Hence it is crucial for parents to keep a checklist of symptoms for such conditions, so that they can consult a Paediatrician and seek medical help to stop the problem from aggravating.
Here are 5 signs to detect ear infection in children
If your child is unusually cranky and keeps crying, it can be a possible indication of ear infection. Refusing to sleep and crying uncontrollably when put to sleep flat on the back are also strong indicators.
Loss of appetite is a major sign, as a child with ear infection can hardly eat due to the pain while chewing food and also general discomfort.
Infants, as they cannot talk, might express their discomfort in many ways. They might pull their ears to show that it is paining, especially during feeding as swallowing/ sucking creates more pressure in the ear.
If you notice any kind of discharge, pus-like (white/ yellow) or blood-tinged, coming out of the ear, seek immediate medical attention.
Fever is a sign that one's body is fighting an infection. If the above symptoms are accompanied by high-temperature, it is very likely that the child is indeed suffering from an ear infection.
Remember, chronic ear infection can recur and frequent ear infections can even lead to hearing loss. Hence it is always advisable to consult a paediatrician immediately, however mild the symptoms may be.
Of the 24 state-of-the-art operating theatres, 12 are already functional. The first totally integrated OTs in Kerala, these spacious theatres provide modern technology that facilitates collaborative work.

text: A site in the eastern US has low levels of PCE (10 - 120 ug/l) with lesser amounts of TCE and DCE, and no vinyl chloride. In many eastern states, the MCL for cis-DCE is 70 ug/l (EPA MCL), considerably higher than the MCL for PCE or TCE (5 ug/l). Because of the mass loss of 42% in converting PCE to cis-DCE and the higher MCL for cis-DCE, converting all PCE concentrations lower than 120 ug/l to cis-DCE results in attainment of MCLs for cis-DCE. The PCE --> DCE reaction is simple to achieve, often occurring naturally, and often stalls at that step. A low level of electron donor was added and bioaugmentation was not needed. PCE concentrations dropped below 5 ug/l in targeted wells and cis-DCE did not exceed 70 ug/l. Vinyl chloride was only observed in one well and was below the MCL of 2 ug/l. The 1st 2 photos are of me salmon fishing with friends since I have so little work to do at the site.

Outspoken Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has been accused of disrupting the government's agenda by seeking to water down the racial discrimination law.
However, the conservative senator believes nothing derails the government more than losing a vote in the House of Representatives.
The government suffered three defeats in parliament late on Thursday in the absence of some coalition members, the first time it has happened to a majority government in more than 50 years.
The debacle ended three chaotic days - the first sitting since the July 2 election.
"So I'm not going to suspend what's important to the Liberal party in favour of those people who can't even control the Liberal party in the lower house," Senator Bernardi told Sky News on Sunday.
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese was manager of government business under the minority Gillard Labor government and never suffered such a humiliating defeat in the parliament.
"They couldn't survive three days, they lost control of the house," he said.
"It appeared that they disliked each other so much with their internals, they were racing for the door to get out of there."
He believes Malcolm Turnbull's coalition government could have as little as a year to run after last week's parliamentary performance.
"If Malcolm Turnbull thinks he is going to be defeated within his party room, then he will think about going to the people, rather than having what occurred to Tony Abbott happen to him," Mr Albanese said.
Senator Bernardi said his push to water down section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act isn't a proxy for changing the party's leadership but an opportunity for the Liberal party to reconnect with its base.
He has so far managed to secure the backing for change from all Liberal members in the Senate bar one.
Manager of opposition business Tony Burke said had Labor won the final motion seeking parliament's endorsement of a banking royal commission, it would have challenged the government's legitimacy.
House leader Christopher Pyne had referred to the fact the Menzies government had been defeated three times on the House of Representatives floor - enough to justify a government being terminated.
"If you've got a situation where both houses have resolved to do something, and the government doesn't take it to the governor-general, in those circumstances, you got a pretty big question over the extent to which the government is in fact holding the confidence of the parliament," he told ABC TV.

This week in nursery we introduced self-serve play dough. We filled tubs with flour, salt and coloured water. Then we added spoons of different sizes for each container.
The children took a bowl then moved along the side putting in one spoonful of each ingredient. They mixed it together and rolled it out. If it was too wet they added a little more flour or if it was too dry they added more water.
We had lots of fun with our dough, why not try making your own at home?

Oslo Summer School in Comparative Social Science Studies 2013
Using Spatial Data in the Social Sciences: An Applied Survey
Lecturer: Professor Roger Bivand,
Department of Economics, NHH,
Norwegian School of Economics, Norway
Main disciplines: Human Geography, Economics,
Research Methods, Political Science, Sociology
This course is fully enlisted!
Dates: 22 - 26 July 2013
Course Credits: 10 pts (ECTS)
Limitation: 20 participants
The use of spatial data in the social sciences has an established position, dating back to the first studies of urban poverty in the 1800s, and studies of elections in the 1900s. New sources of spatial data, obtained through self-reporting – for example geotagged tweets and volunteered information – both blur the distinction between quantitative and qualitative data, and between researcher and informant. Using the kinds of data that are becoming available does, however, depend on researchers obtaining an adequate knowledge of the challenges involved in representation and analysis, including spatio-temporal data.
The course is intended to provide a survey of topics in the representation and analysis of spatial data in the social sciences. Research practices vary across disciplines, with opportunities for learning from one-another when using data derived from similar sources. It has been claimed that geographical information is becoming pervasive, that digital representations of our surroundings are increasingly entering into daily life. But are these representations unproblematic? Do the available representations impact our choices with regard to understanding and/or inference? Should we expect to extend aspatial methods of analysis to spatial data without modifying, or at least challenging, their assumptions? These are the key topics to be addressed in the course, which will necessarily be open-ended, because the various disciplines using spatial data may reach different conclusions.
Monday 22 July:
1. Representing spatial data:
Spatial data is keyed to reference systems just as temporal data is keyed to time zones. Knowledge of how they are constructed is important in integrating data by spatial (temporal) position. Spatial objects have position in space (and time), and use of spatial data implies understanding of these objects. The objects used often inherit characteristics from their sources, be they point locations from GPS or geocoded addresses, administrative boundaries used to aggregate observations, transects or trajectories, or pixels captured by earth observation satellites.
Tuesday 23 July:
2. Visualizing spatial data:
Mapping may be used to associate names or statements with spatial position, often also implying contextualization. Choices in visualizing spatial data affect the ways in which users perceive content, so creators of visualizations should be aware of alternatives. The ease with which content can be exposed and manipulated on base maps from GoogleTM Map and Earth, or OpenStreetMap is ensnaring, but may deserve caution. Thematic mapping complements topographic mapping by adding visual representations of observations of attributes or variables, which may be measured on various scales, such as presence/absence, intensity, or rate. Colour keys may also influence the perception of users, for example of crime hotspots, which can be made to look more or less alarming, depending on the intentions of the content creator.
Wednesday 24 July:
3. The support of spatial data:
Support is the term used to describe the link between the observation and the spatial entity used for observation. Often the entities are not chosen to suit the data generation processes, but are those "to hand". Using data such as tweet locations opens up the risk of ecological fallacy, frequently also seen as the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). Would the observed values change if the shape and placing of the entity were manipulated? Support is closely tied to the design of observations, sampling schemes, and of course electoral re-districting.
Thursday 25 July:
4. Spatial processes and autocorrelation:
In situations in which values of a variable of interest can be predicted from its near neighbours, the assumption of independence of observations is not sustained. The presence of spatial processes expressed as spatial autocorrelation may be used to enhance models. However, their presence also affects inference in models which do not take them into account. There are a number of ways to represent relationships between observations, expressing approximations to unobserved spatial processes. These may be used for testing for spatial autocorrelation, but such tests assume that our understanding of the data generation process is adequate, without omitted covariates or inappropriate functional forms.
Friday 26 July:
5. Modelling spatial data:
Finally, the course will survey the fitting of spatial regression models for continuous and discrete response variables, as applied in spatial econometrics, political science, and other disciplines. Extensions to eigenvector filtering, spatial quantile regression, and local spatial regression will also be mentioned. It will be pointed out that, in applied work, the best model may be one in which no residual spatial process is found; the parsimonious model may be one in which the correctly specified model has no "spatial story" of spillovers or other unobserved causal factors. However, on occasion, spatial processes are helpful in modelling, sometimes because it is not possible to observe the covariates that are proxied by relationships between neighbouring observations.
Teaching modes
The course will be taught as lectures with practical examples, most of which may be reproduced using R and contributed R packages. If you wish to track the examples as well as the lecture presentation, and/or would like to use the practical examples to assist in absorbing the material and in planning your written assignment, please bring a laptop with R installed. A script to permit required contributed packages to be installed will also be made available here immediately before the course commences.
Basic essential readings
In order to gain most benefit from the course, it is desirable that participants have a reasonable grasp of some or many of the underlying conceptualisations, and how they have been reflected in software tools. Starting from Ward & Gleditsch, work back through the other suggestions until you feel confident that you understand what is going on in terms of concepts and methods, including the use of software (especially R and its Spatial Task View).

Black Market Short
Zoic built the Black Market short with SuperLight polyester fabric to keep you cool during your hottest rides. The short can be worn over a separate liner for long rides, or by itself on DH days when you'll be spending most of your ride time out of the saddle.
The whole body of the Black Market is made with Superlight 4-way stretch polyester material that won't bind or limit your range of motion. SuperLight is extremely breathable to keep you cool and dry. The fabric also pulls moisture away from your skin to keep you comfortable. The Fusion Gusset inseam further increases the short's range of motion and eliminates seat hang-ups, while vents below the waistband in the back and down the legs promote airflow so you can stay cool on hot days of riding.
The Black Market also comes with plenty of pockets—two front, two thigh, and one back—so you have plenty of room for your essentials. There's even a dedicated media pocket for your phone or music player with a headphone cord control grommet and loop to avoid snags. As far as fit is concerned, the Black Market's cuffs fall right above the knee. The leg holes are loose enough that they don't interfere with pads. Zoic also included a nylon webbing belt so you could dial your fit.
- Mountain bike shorts for pairing with your favorite liners
- Four-way stretch fabric provides performance mobility
- Gusseted construction offers a full range of motion
- 11in length offers plenty of coverage for hard riding
- Elastic waist and included belt offer easy fit adjustment

Reviews & Community
Very light and perfect fit.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Just received these today. Size is perfect and the fit is great. It does use a velcro "button" so those whom do not like velcro may opt for something else. Time will tell how well they hold up. Even if they last, I doubt I would pay this price again as I could easily remove the liner from some of my swimming trunks and get the same results for a fraction of the price. Personally I like the belt as it gives me a place to attach my insulin pump as I don't like to put it in my pockets.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: large
Fit great. perfect fit to ride. Belt is useless unless i find myself in the need for a strap or tourniquet. hopefully not
Great pair of MTB shorts
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
These shorts are nearly identical to a pair of Pearl Izumi's (can't remember model name) I've had for 2-3 years. Needed another one for multi-day tours. Good amount of stretch in the fabric with no hanging up on the saddle. Material is lightweight but durable. Fit is perfect - I'm a 32-33 waist and the medium fits perfect. Love the built-in web belt which my other (Pearl Izumi) pair doesn't have. Inseam of 12 inches is perfect length when riding (I have 28 inch pant inseam). Want another pair. Only had this pair of shorts for about a month with 2 rides so durability is still unknown - hence the 4 stars.

Java 1.8 Lambda & Method Reference
One way to create thread is to pass a object that implements Runnable Interface to a Thread constructor as mentioned in Java Multithreading Approaches (Java Concurrency - Part 1):
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable{
Java Collection Framework
Java Collection Framework (java.util.* package) is a unified architecture for representing and manipulating collections. This post is a quick note of my knowledge about Java Collection Framework that covers frequently used java data structure to store a group of elements and/or key-value pairs. In the java.util framework, there are two major camps - Collections & Map.
To illustrate, I use solid lines to denote 'extends', and dash lines to denote 'implements'. The way to use my note is to first go to the diagram looking for the specific class or interface, then read the brief blurb that'll remind you what the class or interface is about for the right data structure.
Ever suspect your Java app leaking memory but not sure which class it is potentially causing OOM?
In this post, I recommend Eclipse Memory Analyzer (MAT) for developers to analyze heap dumps so you can chase down leak suspects. MAT is much easier to use and read than stand-along jhat unix command, and while monitor memory usage using VisualVM is helpful, MAT gives you specific hints about which classes may be the suspects.
It is not uncommon that you need to watch the runtime performance of a Java application on a server. In this post, I'll show you how to set up a target JVM so you can monitor its cpu, heap memory, threads usage from a specific JMX client - VisualVM. VisualVM is similar to JConsole, a JMX-compliant monitoring tool, but is more advanced.
To use a JMX client, the setup you need to do first are:
Enable JMX Agent for JVM
With JMX agent enabled for a JVM, you can use a JMX Client (JConsole or VisualVM) to tap into your JVM to monitor its performance and memory usage at runtime. Your java runtime is not enabled with JMX by default unless you explicitly specify to turn it on.
With regards to java concurrency, when reading some API documentation (e.g. java.util.concurrent), there's the term "non-blocking" and "blocking." In computer science, non-blocking means:
In Java concurrency, ForkJoinPool uses a work-stealing multi-threading framework which works well for executing tasks of uneven distribution of chunk sizes. Before you read on, you need to know Java Multithreading Approaches first.
A ForkJoinPool implements ExecutorService but it differs from other (I'll refer them as 'traditional') ExecutorService mainly by virtue of employing work-stealing - all threads in the pool attempt to find and execute subtasks created by other active tasks. It automatically balance the task load between threads, while traditional ThreadPoolExecutor has no mechanism for such kind of load balancing. If no available worker thread is available, tasks will be blocked until a thread becomes available to steal work from those workers who are busy.
In Java concurrency, there are two low level concurrency implementations in Java to create a thread - extend the Thread class or implement Runnable interface. These basic approaches neither return value from the thread nor throw exception should anything goes wrong. There's a third approach since Java 1.5 - use Java Concurrency package which supports to receive return values from thread execution.
WeakHashMap Example
Before I go into WeakHashmap, first let's look at different types of reference-object. A reference object encapsulates a reference to some other object. There are different level of reachability of references, from the strongest to the weakest. The weaker the reference, the more likely it is to be thrown away.
