USB WiFi Antenna For Android?
Are there any USB WiFi boosters compatible with Android that can connect with the small plug on the side? Cheap tablets generally have poor WiFi reception so something to boost the WiFi signal would be useful. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Kind Regards

Camel Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider Lyrics
Last updated: 10/28/2007 12:00:00 PM
When he rides, my fears subside,
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies,
To find a land beyond the night.
Once he wore grey, he fell and slipped away
From everybody's sight.
The wizard of them all, came back from his fall
This time wearing white.
He has a certain air, as if he's never there,
But somehow far away.
And though he seems afar, like a distant star.
His warmth he can convey.
Thanks to mike for submitting Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider Lyrics.

A packed passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing after two passengers began fighting over a device that stopped a seat reclining.
Violence erupted on board a four hour Newark to Denver flight on Sunday when a woman became irate when she found she could not push back her chair.
When she turned to discover why, she found the man behind her had fitted a device known as the Knee Defender to the back of her seat as he worked on his laptop.
After he refused to remove the £13 gadget she then threw a glass of water over him.
On learning of the argument the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in Chicago where the two passengers, both 48, were taken off the flight.
A source said: "It wasn't too long in to the flight when she pushed the button on her chair to lie back a little but she just couldn't.
"She then noticed he had fitted the knee defender to her chair.
"She called the air stewardess who asked him to remove it but he point blank refused.
"The woman just saw red and threw her water all over splashing other passengers.
"The pilot didn't want the trouble to escalate and took the decision to divert to Chicago.
"You can imagine the fury among the other travellers."
Ironically both passengers, sitting in rows 11 and 12 on United flight 1462, were in the Economy Plus section which gives passengers four more inches of legroom than the rest of the economy section.
America's Aviation Administration can impose a civil fine of up to £15,000 for passengers who cause trouble on board a flight.
Chicago airport spokesman Gregg Cunningham said no arrests were made but both were banned from continuing their journeys.
The flight then continued to Denver arriving one hour and 38 minutes late.
Officials refused to identify the passengers involved.
United Airlines along with all other major US and UK carriers have banned the device from its flights.
The makers of Knee Defender, which uses the motto "Standing up for the right of the tall guy to sit down", describe the plastic device as a travel accessory.
On their website it says: "It helps you defend the space you need when confronted by a faceless, determined seat recliner who doesn't care how long your legs are or about anything else that might be back there".
It fits on the arms of the tray table which uses the same mechanism as an airline seats recline function.
Once in place the Knee Defender acts as a wedge making it impossible to adjust the chair .
The gadget comes with a courtesy card to warn passengers their seat has been fitted with one if they ask.
Aircraft knee defenders should be banned
By Nigel Thompson, Daily Mirror Travel Editor
Step on board an aircraft and you enter a world when normal politeness often seems to go out of the window.
Parents who would, presumably, tell their kids to stop kicking seatbacks at home let them hoof away at you like it's a penalty shoot out.
Those armrest hogs shove their elbows out to grab the space and sit there limpet-like, and people think it's acceptable to stand with their arse in your face while they queue for the loo.
And then there's the Reclining Seats Issue.
I've just flown back from holiday and was catching up with some work on my laptop on board when the bloke in front decided to recline without warning – so my laptop was sent flying back off the table; luckily I'd finished my drink.
And it's hardly the first time it's happened, though fortunately this airline has a 34in economy seat pitch. On those with 30-31in when the person in front reclines it can feel like you're in that Star Wars scene where the trash compactor walls start closing in on Leia, Han, Luke and Chewbacca.
So I reckon on short haul flights reclining is a no-no, unless you ask the person behind if they mind. And of course some airlines have fixed seats, which eliminates the problem.
Of course on long haul flights it's a different argument. Nobody would relish sitting bolt upright on an eight hour overnight flight, so it's one recline, all recline , I guess.
But, irritating as reclining can be, I would not condone the use of Knee Defenders. Anything that interferes with the operation of an aircraft seat should rightly be banned on board.
I'd like to see a airline notices on seatbacks advising passengers not to recline without checking first, and certainly to refrain on short haul flights.
Hopefully the airlines will sit up and take notice.

Infographic: why IT teams like chat
- By Sarah Zorah, Product Marketing Manager
- Products, HipChat, News, JIRA Service Desk
- On July 6, 2015
85% of the IT teams we surveyed use chat tools. That's a lot of people. 85% out of a 100% is a better number than Presidential election results, or how many customers were satisfied with The Baconator. We wanted to dig deeper, we wanted to know why IT loves them some chat instead of email. So, we went directly to the IT community to find out. We talked to agents, managers, and directors and asked them about how chat makes their work life awesome. Check out what they said.

Darth Vader Kimono Cardigan - Exclusive
Let me see...
- Dark Side and Imperial icons intermixed in a tribal pattern
- 4" black fringe trim & lightweight, ethereal fabric
- A ThinkGeek exclusive
Let me see...This cardigan reminds us a bit of what might happen if an ancient civilization had witnessed the destruction of Alderaan and tried to communicate it in art. Now, not the same ancient civilization who memorialized our favorite droids in hieroglyphs, but a civilization more into... interpretative dance. We have the the Death Star as a sun, vines sprawling across the reaches of the Empire, and something that kind of looks like an owl with Vader's helmet on its belly. Is this a Rorschach test? We hope not 'cause we probably just failed. We definitely didn't study.
This Darth Vader Kimono Cardigan is super subtle - that is, until somebody notices Darth Vader's helmet. Then it's game over. At that point, they're going to want you to stand still so they can check out all the awesome designs. So it's probably best to wear this when you aren't in a hurry. If you're going to the ballet or opera or something, remove your coat AFTER you get to your seat to avoid unanticipated delays.
Product Specifications
- Darth Vader Kimono Cardigan
- Officially-licensed Star Wars merchandise

- Care Instructions: Hand wash cold. Line dry.

But there is a new fear for the Hammers after furious fans invaded the pitch upon the final whistle and screamed abuse at the chairman, Terrence Brown, and his directors. The protest came seconds after Kevin Russell's last-minute Wrexham winner confirmed the latest Upton Park debacle.
Peter Storrie, the managing director, is worried the Football Association could take disciplinary action even though the demonstration - by about 400 fans who continued their protest outside the main entrance - came after the final whistle.
Rebel fans are planning another demonstration for Arsenal's visit on Wednesday night, aimed at forcing the board to accept multi-millionaire former bookmaker Michael Tabor's much-publicized offer of a cash injection in exchange for putting in his own man to run the club.
Five years ago - when fans mounted a campaign which eventually stopped West Ham's plan to finance the building of a new stand through a supporters' bond-holders' scheme - two home matches were disrupted by pitch invasions, resulting in an official warning to the club over crowd control.
The FA was in correspondence again with West Ham only seven weeks ago after fans came onto the pitch when the captain, Julian Dicks, scored a late penalty equaliser in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Disciplinary action was again deferred but Storrie said: "It amounts to us still being under a suspended sentence from what happened a few years ago. As, this time, it happened after the final whistle we are hopeful the FA will take a reasonable view - but they might not. This is bound to be reported and we'll just have to wait and see if we face a charge."
Slaven Bilic, the big Croatian defender who has been one of Redknapp's few successes among a flurry of foreign signings over the past year, stepped out into the Upton Park forecourt, ignoring police advice, to appeal for calm and unity among the protesting fans.
Bilic, however, has become another problem for Redknapp after his eighth booking of the season on Saturday. He is now facing a two-match suspension.
Redknapp, whose side have plunged into the Premiership's bottom three after just one win in 15 matches, said he would walk away from West Ham if "people don't want me here and the chairman thinks it is the best thing for the club".
But rumours of an emergency board meeting to discuss his future on Saturday night can be discounted and Storrie confirmed that West Ham are backing Redknapp with hard cash as he seeks to boost his strike force. Offers are already in to Newcastle for their striker Paul Kitson and Stoke for the 21-goal Mike Sheron, both rated in the pounds 2m-plus bracket.
Goal: Russell (90) 0-1.
West Ham United: Miklosko; Breacker, Bilic, Dicks, Williamson, Bishop, Lazaridis (Porfirio, h-t), Hughes, Lampard, Ferdinand, Jones. Substitutes not used: Bowen, Sealey (gk).

IRVING, Texas -- Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones, who made the mistake this summer of declaring that he was sure Jay Ratliff would be ready for the season opener, is steering clear of any firm projections about the former Pro Bowl nose tackle's return from the physically unable to perform list.
"I don't know, and I don't know that he knows," Jones said Tuesday on KRLD-FM. "I don't know that anybody knows. He is beginning to work through on what we all hope is a secure injury area that has hopefully healed. I don't know that. I can't speak to that, and I don't know that anybody does.
"We will painstakingly go slow here in trying to work him back in."
Ratliff, who is still recovering from the sports hernia surgery he had in December, is eligible to come off the PUP list Monday. The Cowboys could wait as late as Nov. 4. Once Ratliff is activated from the PUP list, he would have three weeks to practice before the Cowboys put him on the 53-man roster or sideline him, so his season debut could come as soon as next week or as late as Thanksgiving.
Ratliff, who has clashed with Cowboys management and the team's medical, athletic training and strength/conditioning staffs over the last year, did not rehabilitate at the team's Valley Ranch facility this past offseason. Coach Jason Garrett said Ratliff has split his in-season rehab work between Valley Ranch and an off-site location.
The depleted Dallas defensive line could desperately use some help from Ratliff, a four-time Pro Bowler whose sack totals have declined for five straight seasons, bottoming out with zero during his injury-shortened 2012 campaign.
Nick Hayden, who had played a total of 33 snaps in the previous two NFL seasons, is starting in Ratliff's place. Both backup defensive tackles, Drake Nevis and David Carter, were signed after the season started.

It's important to take frequent breaks during your revision session. The brain is a muscle (not factually correct) that gets tired like any other muscles (do hearts get tired?). In order for a break to be effective, you must fully remove yourself from your working mindset. Dig a hole in the garden or annoy your sister a bit. Just keep the line between work and play clearly defined.
With hope, the Government's publication of the Savile reports will emphasise the importance - to children, adults working with children and those who may have suffered abuse in the past - of both listening and speaking out. No one should face the terrors of abuse alone.
For some students the retention of subject information is good throughout the year, and therefore they won't need to revise for more than a couple of hours each day. However, there are those that struggle either because they haven't applied themselves effectively throughout the year or because they genuinely find learning harder than other students.
I would like my children to have an understanding of different religious worldviews, and in turn, I want other kids of all faiths to understand theirs, and how it shapes the choices and decisions they make in life.
We're calling on politicians to think before they leap. City & Guilds wants to see long-term planning instead of short-term headline grabbing. If politicians can't learn from mistakes and leave policies in place long enough to make a difference, they risk another three decades of getting caught in the tube doors.
At GCSE, I studied Steinbeck and Priestley. My first year at A-Level, I studied Browning, Auden, Fitzgerald and Hosseini. It was only in the second year that I studied Carter and Bronte as well as Marlowe. Work by female authors took up less than a third of my secondary education space - and unequal gender representation is set to increase.
A sticking plaster needs to be applied to significant cuts in university funding by subsidising languages at University level: essentially helping those departments stay afloat at a difficult time. If that happens then UK businesses may still have a chance when it comes to keeping up with the ambitious BRIC countries. If not, then the UK economy may never fully recover.
GCSE results alone provide a narrow and confusing measure of success with no real consideration of the overall benefits to children of their time at school... under new Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, there is a real opportunity to take an approach which not only provides a strong academic grounding but also instils character values in students.
Unfortunately a degree couldn't be enough to get you to your final goal: a rewarding career. The University is a long-lasting coaching, but the real match starts once you will be out of there. In the competitive race of labour market, a brief pit-stop could advantage your studies and job search... You need a gap year to not fall between the cracks of your career ladder.
When the Scottish results came out on the 5th of August, it was announced that pupils had achieved a record number of top Higher grades, winning 30,000 university and college places in the process. Unfortunately, some were not so lucky.

I have the Hidcote and Munstead...they seemed to do O.K., as well as my
"French" (I say French because that is how it is tagged but there are
different varieties of French so who knows). The bed they are in has
sand and very loose soil, but I have no gutters on my house (yet) so
there is a lot of run-off where those lavenders were. So, they won't go
back in the same spot. I tell ya, there are certain herbs I will NEVER
do without: Basil, Thyme, Rosemary, Lavender(s), Sage. They are a MUST.

31 Indicted in Southern California Gang Sting
Thursday, August 30, 2007
EL CENTRO, Calif. (AP) -- Thirty-one people have been indicted in what authorities are calling a significant blow to the Mexican Mafia gang in Southern California.
The 46-count indictment was delivered by the San Diego County grand jury last week and unsealed today. It includes charges of attempted murder, solicitation to commit murder, extortion, distribution of narcotics and kidnapping.
If convicted, the defendants face maximum sentences of life in prison.
Authorities have arrested 28 of the 31 accused, including some already jailed on other crimes.
Attorney General Jerry Brown said the indictment caused "total dismantlement" of a significant Mexican Mafia cell in San Diego and Imperial counties.
The defendants are scheduled to be arraigned in San Diego on Tuesday.

[author: Courtenay C. Brinckerhoff]
In In re Droge, the Federal Circuit upheld the decision of the USPTO Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences that found that claims directed to recombinant biotechnology methods were obvious. At 8 pages, the decision is one of the shortest precedential opinions that I've read, and illustrates the difficulty of overturning a Board decision of obviousness.
The Patent Application at Issue
The patent application at issue was published as US 2003/0027337. Claim 29 was deemed to be representative, and is set forth below as presented in the Federal Circuit decision:
29. A method of sequence specific recombination of DNA in a eukaryotic cell, comprising:
(a) providing said eukaryotic cell, said cell comprising a first DNA segment integrated into the genome of said cell, said first DNA segment comprising an [attB, attP, attL, or attR sequence or derivative thereof] . . . ;
(b) introducing a second DNA segment into said cell . . . ;
(c) further comprising providing to said cell a modified bacteriophage lambda integrase Int, wherein said modified Int is Int-h or Int-h/218, which induces sequence specific recombination through said attB and attP or attR and attL se-quences.
The Obviousness Rejection
The claims were rejected as obvious over the combination of U.S. Patent 6,143,530 (Crouzet) and an article by Christ & Droge (two of the three inventors of the application at issue).
As summarized by the Federal Circuit, Crouzet discloses "methods of making therapeutic DNA molecules using sequence-specific recombination either in a host cell or in vitro … [using] bacteriophage λ and wild-type Int protein to insert a foreign DNA sequence into a host cell using the attB and attP recognition sites." Crouzet further states that the method "'may be carried out in any type of cell host,' such as 'bacteria or eukaryotic cells (yeasts, animal cells, plant cells).'" However, "Crouzet does not disclose use of modified integrases."
As summarized by the Federal Circuit, Christ & Droge "discloses that the modified integrase proteins Int-h and Int-h/218 mediate sequence-specific recombination in prokaryotic cells," and that "compared to wild-type Int, the modified proteins Int-h and Int-h/218 have the advantage of an increased binding affinity for core binding sites present in the att regions." The reference "also discloses that Int-h and Int-h/218 can perform recombination … in the absence of certain protein co-factors that assist with recombination, such as the integration host factor (IHF)." As noted by the Federal Circuit, "IHF is present in prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells."
In support of its obviousness determination, the Board found that "because 'the wild-type integrase works in eukaryotic cells, the ordinary artisan would have had a reasonable expectation of success that [Int-h and Int-h/218] would also function at some level in eukaryotic cells.'"
The Applicant had submitted a declaration by inventor/author Dr. Droge, attesting that "a person of ordinary skill in the art would not have had a reasonable expectation of success in using Int-h and Int-h/218 to induce recombination in eukaryotic cells." However, the Board concluded that another scientific article "refuted the assertions in the Droge Declaration."
The Federal Circuit Decision
The Applicant's main argument on appeal was that "a person of ordinary skill in the art would not have had a reasonable expectation of success in combining the teachings of [the cited] references."
Droge argues that Christ & Droge's disclosure of using the modified integrase proteins Int-h and Int-h/218 to facilitate recombination in prokaryotic cells would not lead a skilled artisan to expect that these integrases would also work in eukaryotic cells.
However, the Federal Circuit found that "substantial evidence supports the Board's determination." In particular, the court noted that the scientific article "directly contradicts the assertion in the Droge Declaration that a skilled artisan would not expect the modified integrases Int-h and Int-h/218 to work in eukaryotic cells …." In explaining its decision, the court cited In re Kubin for the proposition that "[o]bviousness does not require absolute predictability of success . . . all that is required is a reasonable expectation of success."
Substantial Evidence
This case highlights how difficult it can be to overturn a Board decision of obviousness. The Federal Circuit reviews the Board's factual findings for "substantial evidence," and will uphold them if it finds "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Thus, the court does not make an independent determination, but rather considers whether the Board's decision is supported by the record.

Re: Verizon dumps Strat II
For a new phone, you may be out of luck... Most manufacturers have dumped the idea of physical keyboards altogether as there is such low demand for it.
Also, if they do not have the Stratosphere for a warranty replacement, they should be willing to substitute a refurbished Droid 4 or Stratosphere II for it since they are the most comparable models, if the rep on the phone won't do that you can ask for a supervisor, usually if its available they will make an exception but if its just not available you may be out of luck.

Re: Verizon dumps Strat II
I realize this is and older thread, but if anyone is looking the Stratosphere II is still available at Best Buy. I just got a Galaxy S4 for a replacement for my Strat I and I'm not sure I really like it. I may end up taking it back for the Strat II. I know it's a real "downgrade" but since I'm having problems with signal strength on the S4 at least I will have a phone that I can make calls and send texts without problems!

Comments about Halkey-Roberts Metal Valve Wrench Tool:
would not recommend this aluminum model, much less the plastic one they also make. had to fabricate my own out of steel, but what worked best was a pipe wrench--you can get a grip on the outside edge under full pressure and spin it off effortlessly. good luck!

Comments about Halkey-Roberts Metal Valve Wrench Tool:
I'm amazed that this wrench is made withoout any way to turn it. I drilled a 5/16" hole in the end of the wrench so that I could put a solid steel rod through it to get some serious leversge. Then it was fine, although I couldn't get the valve to unscrew no matter how much force I used. I was warned by the experts that getting an H-R valve out isn't easy. They were right.

Q:I AM LOOKING FOR A VALVE WRENCH TO FIT A SIX SPOKE PUSH-PUSH TYPE VALVE ON AN OLDER SCANDEN FRAMELESS RAFT. The Valve's overall diameter is 2 3/8". The wrench must fit within a 1 1/8 inch diameter outside diameter inner ring. Will this work? Thanks.Asked on 5/5/2016 by Mark from United States

A:Hi mark -
I know very little about Halkey-Roberts Valves... this wrench works on my
float tube valve very well - which is over 20yrs old (it is an old
woodriver float tube if you're familiar with float tubes).
What I can tell you - is I mic'd the OD of the valve wrench - it
measures1.22" or 31.02mm on the WRENCH part of the tool, which is turned
down slightly from the OD of the raw piece of aluminum tubing it was
machined out of. The ID of the wrench portion of the tool - mics out at
1.047" or 26.80mm
Hope that makes sense.... feel free to ask any other questions & I'll do my
best to answerAnswered on 5/5/2016 by Anonymous
A:OD of wrench at prongs is 1.22, ID is 1.06in.

A:The spanners are universal for the old and new H-K valve. I'd recommend getting the metal spanner (#14742) as some of the valves are in tight. You may need to drill a hole thru the handle of the spanner so you can insert a screwdriver for extra leverage.
Difference between the old and new HK valves is related to the depth of the recess (old is 5/8", new is 7/8"), but this is unrelated to the spanner needed as the valve internal diameter is the same. The spanner will grip both the old rounded valve holes and the new square holes.Answered on 5/8/2013 by Anonymous

It's a little staggering to realize that The Nitty Gritty Dirty Band celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, but just because it's hard to believe doesn't mean it isn't true: they've been around since 1966, and although the lineup might have changed a bit over the years, they've never stopped making music.
by Will Harris
47 years ago this month, The Impressions released their 12th studio album, but it's an LP that's remembered predominantly because it's the last one that featured Curtis Mayfield fronting the group.
Recorded at the Record Plant in New York City, CHECK OUT YOUR MIND! kicked off with the album's seriously funky title track, which went on to hit #3 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart and had such an undeniable groove that it gave the group another top-40 hit as well, hitting #28 on the Hot 100. The album's second single, "Turn On to Me," also proved to be a substantial hit, climbing to #56 on the Hot 100 and to #6 on the R&B Singles chart.
49 years ago this month, Vanilla Fudge released their sophomore album, an LP which followed the same general formula as their self-titled debut but was released in a form which was ultimately more the vision of their producer than it was of the band members themselves.
Taking its title from the Sonny Bono song that features on the album, THE BEAT GOES ON was produced by George "Shadow" Morton, who took Vanilla Fudge's work in the studio and turned it into a concept album filled less with songs than what might be best described as sound collages. It's a supremely odd piece of work, to be sure, and it's one that's called "the weirdest album in classic rock history" by some and called "the worst album I've ever heard" by others.
Dr. Rhino keeps dunking his spoon back into the alphabet soup. This time he came up with a bouncy "C"!
43 years ago today, the Average White Band landed atop the Billboard Hot 100 for the first and only time of their career, but if they were always destined to only have the one hit, then at least they made it one that stands the test of time.
Credited somewhat uniquely to saxophonist Roger Ball and guitarist Hamish Stuart individually as well as to the band as a whole, "Pick Up the Pieces" is one of the easier #1 hits when it comes to memorizing the lyrics, as the effectively consist of the four-word title of the track, which the band members can be heard to holler at various points during the course of its run time.

The recession claimed another fashion victim yesterday as Yohji Yamamoto, the cult Japanese house, announced it was filing for bankruptcy.
With debts of about ¥6bn (£42m), the company blamed slow sales and a decrease in demand during a time of general economic slowdown. "I concentrated too hard on making clothes and left too much responsibility on higher management," the crestfallen designer told a press conference in Tokyo yesterday, only a week after he had presented his spring/summer 2010 collection to fashion press and buyers in Paris.
"But my biggest obligation is to keep making world-beating products. I'll continue to do that until the business is wound up."
The label, founded in 1972, will continue trading internationally for the time being. But Yamamoto is the latest company to suffer in a string of bankruptcy claims in Japan, where high-end fashion retail is being squeezed by a boom in budget clothing.
This week, Versace announced that it was liquidating its operations in the country, 30 years after opening its first shop there. And last year, Louis Vuitton scrapped plans for a 12-floor megastore in Ginza, Tokyo's busiest and most ex-clusive shopping district.
While the homegrown budget brand Uniqlo chalked up a record year, Yama-moto has seen its market shrink.
"The company has also suffered because of the fall in consumption and excess levels of debt," a statement released said. The company also blamed the strength of the Yen for its plight.
Yamamoto, who turned 66 last week, first arrived on the international fashion circuit in 1981. Along with Rei Kawakubo at Comme des Garçons, he spearheaded the avant garde movement then emerging from Japan.
His label is known for its unstructured and deconstructed tailoring, inspired by traditional Japanese men's workwear, and for its plain collections solely in black, which earned the moniker "Hiroshima chic" within the fashion industry.
Such was the enormity of Yamamoto's and Kawakubo's colour choice, when other brands were firmly focussed on bright shades and conspicuous status, that the women who bought and wore their pieces were known as "the crows" in Japan.
Often described as "intelligent clothes", Yamamoto attracts intellectual customers who appreciate the hidden complexities of his work. Such complexities and studied simplicity do not come cheap, of course, and the label's higher prices may have contributed to its insolvency.
Pieces are masculine in shape, often intended to conceal the feminine form in vast swathes of gabardine or loose weave cotton and muslin.
The look is tricky to pull off for most, and one that is jarring – and consciously so – in comparison with the current trend for a slim-line, body-conscious silhouette. Yamamoto once told The Independent that he was "scared" of women in high heels and red lipstick; his clothes are a more understated take on female power dressing, favoured by the likes of Tilda Swinton and the architect Zaha Hadid.
The company's decline could be attributed to the vogue for "it" pieces, recognisable status buys that were big business before the economy plunged. Although fashion now favours a more inconspicuous look, Yamamoto's clothes are almost too quiet; and his trademark "peasant shoes" don't have a matching price-tag.
The announcement comes after the French couture house Christian Lacroix went into administration in May. Yohji faces a similar problem: while he has diversified by taking on a number of collaborations, including a range for Adidas (which will continue), a lack of diversification into lucrative cosmetics and fragrance has contributed to his decline. Lacroix and Yamamoto embodied their brands and ploughed their creative visions into them, but did little to expand commercially. Sheikh Hassan Ben Ali al-Naimi , from the United Arab Emirates offered to take a majority share in Lacroix this week, which would push the designer into a minority shareholding; whether Yamamoto will seek a similar solution remains to be seen.
His focus on clothing may be artistically noble, and his fans as dedicated as any collectors, but fashion is a strange discipline and even the most avant garde of its number still need to make big money.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1634) LogMergePolicy should use the number of deleted docs when deciding which segments to merge
|Wed, 13 May 2009 17:23:45 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1634?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12709015#action_12709015 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1634: -------------------------------------------- bq. So to implement your own MergePolicy, you have to resort back to sneaking the class into the package. Right, this is currently necessary for a custom MergePolicy/Scheduler. It's been discussed before: http://www.nabble.com/MergePolicy-public-but-SegmentInfos-package-protected--tt22687527.html I suppose since merge selection needs so little info about a segment, we could make a public thine wrapper/veneer that exposes a limited number of things. Or maybe we go whole hog and simply make SegmentInfos/SegmentInfo public. bq. it is hidden because these methods are package protected If we could javadoc certain package protected classes, that'd give you the javadocs at least. Or we should simply make these methods public? bq. Not only seg/getUseCompoundFile is no longer applicable if LogMergePolicy is not used, also popular methods such as set/getMergeFactor etc. are only applicable to LogMergePolicy. But the notion of a mergeFactor is very much a LogMergePolicy specific thing. Other merge policies might not limit themselves to always merging mergeFactor segments at once. These are convenience methods on IndexWriter (that simply forward the request to the MergePolicy). bq. my guess is that set/getCompoundFile should be applicable to all implementations of MergePolicy I think that'd make sense. (I can't remember exactly why, but way back when, I think there was some reason for not doing so...) > LogMergePolicy should use the number of deleted docs when deciding which segments to merge > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-1634 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1634 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Yasuhiro Matsuda > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1634.patch > > > I found that IndexWriter.optimize(int) method does not pick up large segments with a lot of deletes even when most of the docs are deleted. And the existence of such segments affected the query performance significantly. > I created an index with 1 million docs, then went over all docs and updated a few thousand at a time. I ran optimize(20) occasionally. What saw were large segments with most of docs deleted. Although these segments did not have valid docs they remained in the directory for a very long time until more segments with comparable or bigger sizes were created. > This is because LogMergePolicy.findMergeForOptimize uses the size of segments but does not take the number of deleted documents into consideration when it decides which segments to merge. So, a simple fix is to use the delete count to calibrate the segment size. I can create a patch for this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com
