This is Data Platform sample from Lokad - showing principles of storing and processing large (GBytes and TBytes) data streams in the cloud. It is based on concepts from: Lokad.CQRS, Lokad.Cloud, EventStore, kafka and bitcask.
Data platform is designed to be run on Windows Azure (as a Windows Service on VM or it can be plugged into an Azure Worker Role). However, it can also run on file system for local development and testing purposes.
Some introductory information:
More documentation will be available, once we push through first production deployments internally.
Data platform currently is a really simple project aiming to demonstrate core principles of saving, processing and managing large datasets composed of millions of messages or data transactions.
Data Platform is represented by:
- Data Platform Node - high-throughput server based on Staged Event Driven Architecture, which coordinates writes to event stores from various clients.
- Storage Engine - set of classes for manipulating message sets in large blobs or files. Each event store can be represented as a separate message set.
- Storage Client (Client Library) - client API library which provides convenient access from .NET code to push events to event stores or enumerate them. It also provides access to store simple key-value documents (which can be used as views in CQRS)
Data Platform Server (Node) - single instance of data platform server, responsible for coordinating multiple writers. Lokad Data Platform servers can host multiple event stores, which are isolated from each other.
Event Store - set of events which are physically grouped together (e.g. belong to the same subsystem or subdomain). Single event store can keep multiple event streams for different aggregates). Each event store has it's own version (which increments, as new events are added to it).
Event Stream - logical group of events within a single event store, which are identified by the same stream identifier (or streamId). If you are applying Domain- Driven Design with Event Sourcing, then such event stream would represent a single entity.
Event Pointer - pointer to some event (either using it's sequential number or as direct byte offset in a file). It can be used by event storage to record last committed (and flushed) event.
Data platform can host multiple event stores (identified by
where each store is located and managed independently from each others. For
instance, it can be removed completely, backed up or manually replaced with
a different file set. For example a company can have 3 stores which correspond
to 3 distinct bounded contexts:
- Inventory Management ("inventory")
- Sales history ("sales")
- Promotions history ("promotions").
This way, if there is a need to back up or correct 17GB "sales" history event store, this can be done without affecting all other stores. Event store is a unit of deployment and maintenance.
Each store can still have multiple logical event streams, identified by stream ids (e.g.: matching to entity ids).
Data platform does not introduce any new significant concepts, it is based directly on the following works (which are highly recommended for reading, if you are interested in the deep reasoning behing the design):
- Apache Kafka Design - data platform developed at LinkedIn.
- Bitcask (PDF) - A log-structured hash Table for key/value data used by Basho Riak
- Greg's Event Store Architecture - highly-performant event sourcing server for file systems.
- Redis Persistence - append-only file persistence used by Redis server.
- Staged event-driven architecture - architecture principles which allow Data Platform server to concurrently serve lots of clients using only a few threads.
Thanks to the authors and maintainers of these projects for letting us stand on the shoulders of giants:
See SamplesReadme.md in this folder for more details
Currently, each event stream is stored into a single file as opposed to splitting data into multiple chunks. This was an intentional decision at the first stage of the development of DataPlatform, since chunked storage requires some more code to handle chunks and their proper loading by both client and server.
This approach is understood as not full production grade. The implementation of of a proper chunked storage is planned for a later stage.
DataPlatform itself is merely a storage engine, which is capable of high message throughputs with concurrent reads/writes. However, the platform has little value on its own, value is created by the SmartApps, which leverage the functionality and scalability opportunities offered by the platform.
SmartApps are developed by developers wishing to store and process messages with the help of the platform. While the platform is tuned for high performance (both on file system and in Azure), the SmartApp can sometimes underperform, creating the impression that the platform itself is slow.
Here are some recommendations:
- Measure performance of the stream reading in your local environment by simply implementing an incremental projection which scans through all events in the store (alternatively you can run the projection from Sample 2 against the appropriate stream container). Then, compare it with the time needed to run your projection. Extra time is spent in projection implementation code.
- Batch process multiple events together to reduce IO cost of reading/writing the same view. Sample 2 implements such batching and can be used as a guidance.
- By default stream client will lazily enumerate all events, keeping memory consumption to minimum, even while enumerating 100GB streams. Make sure that you avoid unnecessary memory allocations (e.g. they happen if code converts event streams to arrays or lists via the use of ToList or ToArray). Also avoid any double enumerations.
- Measure and optimize memory consumption of the projected views along with read-write speeds of such views. If a large view takes 1GB in memory and is saved/read every 100 messages, then processing billions of messages can take a lot of time.

A commanding presence in the literary world, Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961) was a legendary ‘man’s man’ with many talents. His appetite for violence, alcohol and adventure manifested in both his stories and the way he lived his life, but why is he so famous?
As an American journalist, novelist and writer, Ernest Hemingway is famous for being one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century. In addition to his celebrated literary achievements, Hemingway gained notoriety for his hyper-masculine personal life and adventurous lifestyle.
Read on to learn more about why Ernest Hemingway is so renowned.
A Legacy for American Literature
If you took a literature class at any point in your college career, you’re probably familiar with Hemingway’s works. Characterized by deceptively simple sentences and blunt prose, Hemingway’s straightforward way of writing was unusual among his contemporaries.
He began his writing career as a journalist for the Kansas City Star and later said that this experience taught him to write a “simple declarative sentence”, greatly influencing his later writing style.
The celebrated novelist dealt with themes of war, violence, nature and death, pitting his leading men against immense struggles. The idea of ‘the Hemingway Hero’ emerged from his writing – a model man who, against all odds, never gives up.
Despite his legendary adventures and exploits, Hemingway still managed to be incredibly prolific. With works such as ‘A Farewell to Arms’ and ‘The Old Man and The Sea’, he had an immense influence on literature in the 20th century and continues to influence writers today.
Perhaps the greatest honour available to a writer, Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, ‘for his mastery of the art of narrative and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style’.
True to fashion, the infamous novelist was mostly concerned with the prize money and told friends, “I can have a hell of a lot of fun with thirty-five thousand dollars”.
The Man’s Man, The Myth, The Legend
Hemingway was undeniably a man’s man. With a penchant for drinking, fighting and war, he enjoyed a reputation as a notorious macho and was known to be fiercely protective of his public image.
When fellow writer Max Eastman wrote, ‘come out from behind that false hair on your chest, Ernest. We all know you’, Hemingway reportedly confronted Eastman, challenged him to remove his shirt and, on establishing himself to be the owner of the greater chest hair, allegedly hit Eastman in the head with a book.
Hemingway’s love for alcohol was no secret and further reinforced his boy boy image. In the Postscript of a letter in 1935 he wrote, “I have drunk since I was fifteen and few things have given me more pleasure”.
His love affair with alcohol was so well-known that it fuelled a popular myth. Amazingly the myth claims that Hemingway invented the ‘Bloody Mary’ cocktail at a glamorous bar in Paris, as a way to drink alcohol on the sly, against his doctor’s orders.
Completely at home in the outdoors, Hemingway’s love for hunting and fishing took him on adventures all over the world. His passion for boxing, however, was unmatched and he’s known to have said, “my writing is nothing, my boxing is everything”.
Hemingway was clearly a man of many hats, utterly captivating and larger than life, with a lot of life experience to inspire his writing.
The Great Survivor
A tough and charismatic war-hero, the legendary author pulled through a lot in his lifetime. He survived injuries from WW1, a bullet wound from a shark hunting trip, numerous concussions and malaria, amongst other illnesses. He even survived two plane crashes in two days.
The author tragically took his own life in 1961, after undergoing electric shock therapy as a patient at a mental health hospital, but his writing continues to influence all over the world.
A man of Immense literary talent with an undisputed legacy, there’s no doubt that Hemingway lived life to the full, and was very very good at it.

Deep venous thrombosis is a common but underdiagnosed medical condition. The epidemiologic features, economic impact, morbidity, and mortality of venous thromboembolism make it imperative that the podiatric physician be familiar with its pathogenesis as well as its pharmacologic treatment. Medical literature rooted in clinical evidence has demonstrated that low-molecular-weight heparins are safe and effective for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. The primary purpose of this article is to review the pharmacologic characteristics of low-molecular-weight heparins. Dosing recommendations for low-molecular-weight heparins as they apply to the prevention of deep venous thrombosis are presented. Finally, a dosing criteria chart is presented to assist the podiatric physician in prescribing and evaluating low-molecular-weight heparins as a therapeutic class.

This article by John D. Massey is one of the more frequently cited critical CPM articles. It is somewhat lengthy (38 pages), but overall an excellent critique. “Wrinkling time” is a concept that David Garrison takes from Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 book A Wrinkle in Time. It essentially means to “shorten” time. Massey takes issue with this in his article. Here is an outline:
II. Wrinkling the missionary task
III. Wrinkling the role of the missionary
IV. Wrinkling evangelism and discipleship
V. Wrinkling ecclesiology
VI. Wrinkling leadership development
VII. Wrinkling missionary recruitment
VIII. Concluding reflections

©FotoliaA study led by Pr. Innes Asher from theUniversityofAucklandin theUnited Stateshas just demonstrated that the food served in fast-food restaurants could be implicated in respiratory diseases and in severe chronic allergies such as allergic rhinitis, eczema or severe asthma. This study, that was published in the review Thorax, involved around 319,000 adolescents aged between 11 and 14 and 180,000 children aged between 6 and 7. When compared with the results of a major international study on allergies and asthma (the ISAAC study) from 1991, the study reveals that eating more than three fast food meals per week is likely to increase the risks of severe asthma by 39% and severe allergies by 27% in children aged 6 to 7. However, the researchers wish to point out that there is no direct cause and effect relationship, just a statistical link that we should look into more deeply. Bénédicte Leynaert, an Inserm researcher, can provide you more scientific details on these studies.

Korean golfers pay the most compared to Japanese golfers. Even after spending nearly four times as much, the number of visits to the golf course was only half that of Japan, indicating that it is still far from satisfying the desire to use the golf course.
The weekday fee for public golf courses in Korea is 173,700 won as of May last year. Compared to the weekly golf course fee of 55,800 won (5,621 yen) at Japanese golf courses, Korean golfers have to pay 3.1 times more than Japanese golfers to use the golf course.
When cart usage fees and caddy fees are included, the gap in golf course fees between Korea and Japan widens even more. As of May of last year, the weekday fee per person for public golf courses in Korea, which includes both cart usage and caddy fees, was 230,000 won.
In most Japanese golf courses, the ‘no caddy self-round’ is common. Even if accompanied by a caddy, caddy fees in Japan are around 3,000 yen per person, and most places do not charge a cart fee. Korean golfers pay 3.9 times more to play a round than the average golf course fee of 58,800 won accompanied by a caddy in Japan. Because it ‘s
so expensive The number of golf courses used by Linara golfers per year was 8.8 times in 2021, an increase of 0.5 times compared to 2019, while Japan increased by 2.3 times from 2020 to 17.2 times in 2021.
■ Domestic public golf course weekday green fees soared by 57.8% over the past 10 years
According to Seo Cheon-beom, director of the Korea Leisure Industry Research Institute, who researched data on 『Comparison of Golf Course Industries in Korea and Japan』 based on the electronic disclosure system of the Financial Supervisory Service in Korea and Japan, the number of golf course uses is half that of Japan. It is pointed out that the main reason is the extremely expensive Korean golf course fee. 토토사이트
Looking at the rate of increase in weekday golf course fees for 10 years from 2011 to 2022, domestic public golf course fees soared by 57.8%. On the other hand, during the same period, golf course fees in Japan fell by 14.7%.
In Japan, the green fee fell due to the oversupply of golf courses and the overall decrease in the golf population. In contrast, in Korea, the rapid growth of the golf industry, such as the explosive increase in the golf population due to the influx of golfers in their 20s and 30s, is analyzed as a factor for the increase in green fees.
As overseas travel is restricted due to the Corona 19 incident, golf is a common outdoor sport that can be enjoyed in Korea, and Korea and Japan are in a similar situation. Although the golf industry has grown due to these factors, Korean golfers, who have significantly fewer annual use times, are in a position where Japanese golfers can’t help but envy them.

|KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS|
The railway history of any county on the broad surface of Kansas is a record of trials and tribulations, of hard struggles to secure the co-operation of settlers in necessary expenditures, of retreat from the field of the companies for which so much had been done, of final success and the arrival of the iron bands which unite the world. The first railway to solicit the aid of this county was the Kansas-Nebraska, which proposed to build across the county in consideration of the subscription of $150,000 to the stock of the railway company and the issuing of an equal amount of the bonds of the county. This proposition was carried by a vote of 1,187 to 811, but the panic of 1873 coming on, the building of the road was deferred and finally abandoned. On May 18, 1872, the question of voting bonds to the amount of $150,000 to the Fort Scott, Humboldt & Western Railway was put to vote and decided in the negative by a vote of 1,037 to 1,240. The next proposal was voted upon July 13, 1872, and lost by a vote of 189 to 1,206. This was for taking stock in the road voluminously spread on the records as the Eureka, Douglass & Santa Fe, Walnut Valley, Kansas Nebraska Railway. At the same time the Ft. Scott, Humboldt & Western Kansas Railway was treated to a dose of cold water - 366 votes being cast in its favor and 1,058 against its proposition. In April, 1876, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company proposed to build a road from Cedar Point on the main line down the Walnut Valley to El Dorado and ultimately to and beyond the south line of the county. The proposal of the company was for a cash bonus of $3,000 per mile, no exchange of bonds and stock being asked. While this proposition was being agitated, the citizens of Florence were working hard to have their town made the initial point. It soon became evident that a road would be built to El Dorado from the main line under some conditions, and in February, 1877, bonds aggregating $99,500 were voted to the El Dorado & Walnut Valley Road. Work was at once begun and the track completed to El Dorado at 6:27 P. M. on July 31, 1877. On September 4, an excursion train was run from Topeka and the citizens of El Dorado given a free trip to Florence and return. A grand celebration was held in the grove. Gov. Anthony was present and made a brief speech which was followed by many others, after which the joy of the crowd overflowed in a general jubilee that will be long remembered.
About this time the Kansas City, Burlington & Southwestern Railway and telegraph line made overtures for aid to the amount of not over $4,000 per mile in running an east and west road. This proposition was favorably considered by a vote of 322 to 128 in the townships interested, but the matter stopped there and the road was never built.
On February 21, 1880, the townships of Douglass and Walnut voted aid to the St. Louis, Wichita & Western Railway, but the road was never built.
We now come to the second successful railway project which has affected Butler's interests. As early as 1879, the St. Louis, Ft. Scott & Wichita Railway began the work which finally led to the completion of an east and west road, although bonds were not voted until more than a year later. The road passes through two townships east of El Dorado City, Rosalia and Prospect. From these it receives $10,000 and $18,000 in bonds respectively. El Dorado Township gives $25,000, Towanda $13,500 and Benton $11,000. The payment of the bonds in the two last named townships depends upon the completion of the road to the west line of the county by September 1, 1883. The bonds of the first three are already secured by the completion of the road to El Dorado.
OFFICIAL ROSTER AND COUNTY AFFAIRS.
On April 30, 1859, the Board of County Supervisors met at the house of G. T. Donaldson "for the purpose of establishing the offices of the county officers." The board, then consisting of P. G. Barrett, chairman, and G. T. Donaldson and I. S. White, after ruling that their annual meeting should be held at Chelsea Hall, decided that for the present the county officers should hold their offices at the residences. The only exception to this was the 'Clerk of Probate,' who was commanded to hold office at I. C. Lambdin's until further notice. At the next meeting, June 13, 1859, P. G. D. Morton was appointed County Auditor, the equivalent of county clerk. No record of a successor to Mr. Morton is found until the election of 1863, when M. Vaught was selected. Since that time county clerks have been elected as follows: A. J. Donahoo, 1865; A. H. Morehead (appointed August, 1867, and elected at November election of the same year); H. D. Kellogg (appointed April 6, 1868, and elected 1869); A. W. Stearus, 1870; J. Blivins, 1871; Vincent Brown, 1873-75-77; C. P. Strong, 1879-81.
The first County Treasurer was C. S. Lambdin, appointed September 19, 1859. He was followed by T. W. Satchel, 1863; H. Martin, 1865; (Mr. Martin was appointed in September, 1867, to serve from January 1, to July 1, 1868, but was re-elected in November, 1867); A. Ellis, 1869-71; Joseph Williams, 1873; E. B. Brainard, 1875-77; M. Bradley, 1879-81.
The first Probate Judge was J. C. Lambdin. He was followed by C. S. Lambdin; H. Martin, 1863; S. T. Howell, 1865; W. H. Thomas, 1866; Wm. H. Harrison, 1868; H. T. Sumner, 1870; J. C. Taylor, 1871; S. E. Black, 1871; W. S. Taylor, 1872; S. E. Black, 1874-76-78; E. D. Stratford, 1880-82.
The first Clerk of the District Court was Emmil. He was followed by W. W. Slayton, 1866; A. Morehead, 1867; A. L. Petrie, 1868; J. E. Buchanan (appointed), 1869; H. D. Kelley, 1869; I. C. Adams, 1870; H. M. Winger, 1871; M. D. Ellis, 1872; C. N. James, 1874-76-78-80; N. P. Mooney, 1882.
The first Register of Deeds was John R. Lambdin. He was followed by M. Vaught, 1863; A. H. Morehead, 1867; D. M. Bronson (appointed April 6) 1869; W. A. Sailee, 1870; D. L. Knowles, 1871-73-75; J. D. Porter, 1877; E. E. Harvey, 1879-81.
The records fail to show the election of a sheriff prior to 1863, when J. T. Goodall was elected. Dr. Lewellen was, however, in office in 1859. Mr. Goodall was followed by W. D. Shaw, 1865; James Thomas, 1867; A. A. Jackson, 1869; J. E. Anderson, 1871-73-75; F. M. Anderson, 1877; E. E. Harvey, 1879; W. H. Douglas, 1881.
In 1864 M. Vaught was appointed County Superintendent. He was followed by D. L. McCabe, 1866; H. D. Kellogg (appointed January 1, 1868); J. E. Buchanan, 1870; S. S. Robbards, 1872; John Blivins, 1874; Alvah Sheldon, 1876-78; J. W. Shively, 1880-82.
Representative from this county, at first one, but now two districts, have been; G. T. Donaldson, 1863; D. L. McCabe, 1865; S. N. Wood, 1866; G. T. Donaldson, 1867; T. R. Wilson, 1868; H. Small, 1869; T. H. Baker, 1870 (This election was also contested, and L. S. Friend, who had been declared elected, lost the seat); I. Mooney, 1871; T. H. Baker, 1872; H. D. Hill, 1873; J. L. Ferguson, 1874-75; M. A. Palmer and H. W. Beck, 1876; U. A. Albin and D. M. Bronson, 1878; G. A. Sears and H. D. Bill; 1880; F. W. Rash and J. H. Fullenweider, 1882.
On August 20, 1859, the first poll tax in the county was levied on all between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five. March 21, 1860, an election precinct to be known as Toronto was created at the house of Doctor Lewellen. Four years later (March 26, 1864) two additional voting precincts were created; El Dorado and Towanda. The first county order had been issued on January 19th of this year, and read as follows:
"State of Kansas, Butler Co., s. s., Jan. 19, 1864. To the Treasurer of Butler Co. Pay Jordan Mabe twenty dollars for services assessing said county.This order was endorsed by M. Vaught, county clerk, with the magic word 'Paid.'
Every county in the State, probably, has had its county seat fight, and we need do little more than present the records of the various elections in which the several struggles culminated. On May 21, 1864, the first election was held and El Dorado selected as the county seat (this was the old town), but on July 4 of that year, we learn from the record of the County Commissioners, that no building suitable for county offices had been put up on the town site, and the board resolved not to move there until suitable provision was made. In August, 1867, the question of removal came up again, Whitewater Junction having two votes; County Center, six; the southwest quarter of Section 4, and the northwest quarter of Section 9, Town 25, Range 6, 29, and El Dorado 50. The third election occurred on May 10, 1870, and gave Chelsea 256 and El Dorado 1,524 votes. This was followed in April, 1871, by the contest between Augusta and El Dorado, and the success of the latter by a count of 743 to 712. This settled the question, which has never since been agitated.
As will be seen, the County Commissioners and other officers were for some time without a proper place for transacting business. For some time Dunlevy's building was used, and most of the officers had their offices in their houses, or after a fashion, under their hats. In July, 1870, a strong effort was made to secure the issue of $25,000 in bonds, the proceeds to be used for county buildings. This proposal met with hearty opposition, and was voted down 239 to 550. Nothing daunted, the settlers went to work on another scheme, and on July 19, 1870, the land now occupied by the court house was deeded to the county, in consideration of $1, by Henry and C. C. Martin. The contract for a court house was then let to I. N. Branson for $3,750, and work began at once. In April, 1871, the building was completed and occupied. Although well finished and a good building, the court house was not large enough to accommodate all the officers, and after doing the best that could be done with it, it was decided in July, 1875, to make extensive additions and improvements. All that part of the building west of the hall way was then constructed at a cost of $8,000, making with previous expenditures and the jail on the southwest corner a total cost of $15,000. The building was completed in March, 1876. Its present dimensions are 52x54 feet; its height, two stories.
SCHOOL AND OTHER STATISTICS.
The first school taught in this county was in charge of Miss Sarah Satchel. It was located at Chelsea, the oldest settlement in the county, and was opened in 1860. At this time the school district embraced this county and Cowley, as well as parts of Chase and Greenwood counties. The second school was taught in 1863 in Towanda in a log building, erected by the settlers. A school was also started in El Dorado Township at an early day, a subscription being raised by the citizens, and the school taught by Miss Jane Wentworth. The difficult office of county superintendent of public instruction was also filled, and the machinery of education progressed. The schoolhouses were many of them rough, and, if reports speaks truly, some of the teachers were of the same sort. Yet the work was pretty honestly done, and the rising generation compares favorably with that of any other county. Since 1879 very full reports have been made, from which the following summary is drawn: School districts in 1879, 125; in 1880, 130; in 1881, 138; in 1882, 143. School population between the ages of five and twenty-one: In 1879, 6,056; in 1880, 6,397; in 1881, 6,545; in 1882, 6,861. Enrollment: In 1879, 4,590; in 1880, 4,356; in 1881, 5,228; in 1882, 5,303. Average attendance: In 1879, 136; in 1880, 176; in 1881, 179; in 1882, 154. Total school expenditures: In 1879, $34,962.76; in 1880, $40,060.03; in 1881, $43,469.22 2/3; in 1882, $53,328.09.
Butler County has more manufacturies (sic) of raw material into finished product than any county in Southern Central Kansas. A brief recapitulation of the principal industries gathered from the returns made to the County Clerk is as follows: J. W. Smith, Leon, horse-power sorghum-mill valued at $300; Lytle & Sons, Towanda, water-power flouring-mill, $1,300; H. J. & J. W. Ground, Augusta, steam flouring-mill, $19,000, and water-power flouring-mill, $8,000; J. C. Haines, Augusta, steam corn-mill, $4,000; A. Palmer, Augusta, steam saw-mill, $1,200; John W. Dunn, Douglas, water-power flouring-mill, $10,000; Wise & Kirk, Douglass, steam flouring-mill, $20,000; J. T. Oldham, El Dorado, steam furniture-factory, $1,000; Burdett & Weeks, El Dorado, water and steam-power flouring-mill, $20,000; L. Hunting, El Dorado, brickyard, horse-power, $1,000; L. D. Godfrey, Leon, water-power flouring-mill, $1,400. Besides these are some small industries with a capital of from $300 to $700 not employing any save hand power.
The following table will serve to show the acreage of the principal crops of
the county, and how general opinion of their adaptability has changed in the
past ten years:

Amy was the wedding photographer at Villa del Balbianello & Lido di Lenno, Lake Como, Italy for the wedding of Karl & Sarah-Louise.
I am so, so lucky to visit the beautiful places that wedding photography takes me to and to be witness to some of the most magical, romantic moments in some of the most magical, romantic settings on earth. It’s almost impossible to choose my favourite venue given that a Castle in Tuscany differs so much from a Villa on the Amalfi Coast, a top Hotel in Rome and the stunning gardens alongside the Italian Lakes. However, if I was forced to choose my favourite wedding venue then this would be it: Villa del Balbianello, Lenno, Lake Como.
Karl & Sarah-Louise married underneath the stunning ivy-covered loggia on the 9th of September. Since Villa del Balbianello is on a peninsula, we accessed it by boat and it offers all-round views up and down Lake Como. Each blade of grass looks like it has been cut individually with a pair of scissors and the Villa itself is nothing short of breath-taking.
After the ceremony at Villa del Balbianello we had a fun boat-ride around the ‘corner’ to the Lido di Lenno: a funky, little Moroccan-style bar with its own beach and marquee.
Sarah-Louise got ready at The Grand Hotel Brittania Excelsior in Cadenabbia. Having just her Mum & Dad there made for a very relaxed pre-ceremony time:

A romantic ceremony under the ivy-covered loggia at Villa del Balbianello:
A couple of guests who we have photographed before! Here are Pete & Simone whose wedding we photographed in August 2007 just across Lake Como in Bellaggio. Great to see you two again folks.
Karl with Mum & Dad:
Sarah-Louise and Nyah:
I had a really fun shoot with Karl & Sarah-Louise around the Villa del Balbianello grounds – here’s one of my favourites.
Confetti – not just ordinary confetti however! Sarah-Louise’s mum had saved this from her own wedding 30-odd years ago. She’d decided back then that if she ever had a daughter, she would throw this confetti for her on her own wedding day! Here we go:
I was so pleased that the weather behaved after such a couple of stormy days prior to the wedding. As always I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Lake and can’t wait to start processing the rest of the images.

After thrashing South Africa in three-match ODIs series, Bangladesh is carrying on a similar form in the ongoing first Test match between both teams at Kingsmead in Durban. After South Africa posted 367 in the first innings, Bangladesh batters added 298 runs in response and got bundled out in 115.5 overs in the first innings of their batting.
Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy's 137 and Liton Das' 41 in 92 balls were two watch out performances from the visitors. While South Africa, who came to bat with a 69-runs lead in the second innings, was surprised by Bangladesh's disciplined bowling and exceptional fielding. After Yasir Ali pulled off a stunner to dismiss Bavuma in 44th over of the match, Bangladesh batter Shadman Islam took yet another super catch at silly point to dismiss Kyle Verreynne in the 53rd over of South Africa's second innings.
Mehidy Hasan invited Verreynne to play the off-break, and the batter shaped it for the reverse sweep, but the ball took the toe edge and bounced back off the pad; Islam, who was standing at silly-point, dived to his left and came up with a one-handed blinder. Islam's brilliance in the field packed Verreynne's bag and reduced South Africa's total to 148-5 in 52.1 overs.
Earlier, in response to South Africa's 367 in the first innings, Bangladesh batter Mahmudul Hasan Jay scored a superb 137-runs in 326 balls and guided the visitors to 298-10 in total 115.5 overs. South Africa had the lead of 69-runs when they came out to bat in the 2nd innings and have added 226 runs till Tea Break on Day 4. By the time of submitting the copy, Ryan Rickelton and Wiaan Mulder are trying to add as many as runs and post a competitive total in front of Bangladesh.


Thailand’s Thaksin Thinks He Can Outlast the Protesters
Thaksin Shinawatra, the ousted premier who nonetheless has run Thailand for the past seven years through surrogates and guile, is like the Cheshire Cat. There is nothing for his enemies to pursue except his disappearing smile, now here and gone there.
That smile appeared recently in an unnamed Asian city where Thaksin had dinner with a closely monitored coterie of Thai and international businessmen. He expressed confidence that his legions in Thailand will prevail in the face of tens of thousands of protesters on the streets of Bangkok.
Despite growing doubts across the country that that his sister, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, and her Pheu Thai Party can survive, Thaksin is said to remain confident that the planned February 2 elections will come off, and certain that his forces will win. And, despite the allegations of massive corruption that have dogged him, he is also said to be confident that democracy is on his side.
On Monday and Tuesday, protesters trying to drive the Pheu Thai government – and the Thaksin family – out of politics for good set up camps in front of huge stages at key Bangkok locations, attempting to create chaos and bring commerce and business to a stop. That was also the strategy employed by the People’s Alliance for Democracy, the so-called anti-Thaksin Yellow Shirts, who brought the entire country to a halt in 2008 only to be defeated at the ballot box in 2011 by Thaksin’s forces.
Thaksin, sitting in an exclusive restaurant surrounded by international businessmen far from Bangkok’s streets, believes it is imperative to keep his supporters from attacking and that eventually, if they are careful, they can outlast the protesters. The Pheu Thai forces believe those financing the protests have been spending the equivalent of about US$1 million per day for what is now 75 days. Even with forces behind them like the owners of the massive Boon Rawd Brewery and other Thai businesses, possibly including the monarchy’s Crown Property Bureau, the pro-Thaksin forces believe, to paraphrase an American politician, a million here, a million there, pretty soon it amounts to real money.
The government, in order to stay in power, can’t attack the protesters, an action the protesters seem to want to provoke. For Thaksin’s forces, the imperative at this point is to practice rope-a-dope, absorbing punches and sliding along the ropes a la boxing legend Muhammad Ali. The Red Shirts – the backbone of those who voted the Pheu Thai government into power in 2011 – will remain outside the city, one of those who attended the dinner with Thaksin said. Thaksin’s forces are acutely aware that if any kind of crackdown ensues, the government loses.
The protesters intend to slide along their own ropes. They have implemented what they call “operation shutdown,” erecting tents, kitchens, medical centers and other facilities at protest sites across the city, including outside shopping malls popular with foreign tourists.
The war of attrition continues on both sides. The protesters, headed by former Democrat Party Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, blocked intersections across the city on Monday and Tuesday and also sought to invade government ministries. The crowd remains good-natured and despite their plans to paralyze the city, school classes reopened Tuesday and commuters continued to go to work.
Yingluck, a competent practitioner of her own public relations, has offered to meet with anybody to discuss postponing the elections if necessary. Suthep has ruled out negotiations, saying, “In this undertaking, there’s only win or lose… today, we must cleanse Thailand.”
The International Crisis Group think tank recently described the “scope for peaceful resolution as narrowing.” But the fact is that there is no scope to do anything unless one side or the other not only blinks but turns tail. Eight people have been killed so far shot either by provocateurs or real vigilantes.
The US is trying to mediate the crisis, saying US diplomats “encourage dialogue and a peaceful, democratic, political resolution.” Nobody seems to be listening.
If Thaksin’s forces continue to refrain from confrontation, the situation appears likely to drag on beyond the point where the world gets bored. That doesn’t seem likely to mollify the Suthep faction. Escalation appears to be their strategy, endangering the fabric of Thai society.
The problem is that Thai politics is irreparably corrupt. If Suthep succeeds in driving the Thaksin forces from the capital and the country, as is their stated aim, he and the Democrats are also corrupt. They held the country’s leadership before and are believed to have taken massive bribes. If the Pheu Thai forces are driven out, it will be a case, as the old aphorism goes, of same sty, different pigs.

Naples is the crown jewel of Southwest Florida — nestled on the sun drenched beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Naples is known for world class shopping, dining and abundant, challenging golf courses. It is also, only steps away from island seclusion or the untamed tropical wilderness of The Everglades. Boasting one of the nation’s best sandboxes and calmest seas, Naples makes a splash with water lovers and recreationists. Friendly parks beckon sports enthusiasts and picnickers with lovely green spaces and recreational facilities. Naples is located on the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Florida.
Golf is an important part of Naples and its History. There’s a story that goes something like this… Shortly after the Naples Beach Hotel Course was built, a small single engine airplane would often land on one of the fairways. The pilot would disembark and play a round(9 holes then), climb in his plane and depart. This was fine until a new Course Superintendent came on board. When he saw this, he immediately chased the flyer away(off HIS fairways). Mr. Lindbergh never landed on the course again!!! Golfers have been coming ever since by boat, car, train, and once again by air.
Naples has hosted major state, national and professional tournaments for several decades and continues to expand its role in competition play. The LG Championship(Seniors Tour) has been played at the Classics at Lely Resort, the Vineyards, and Pelican Bay in past years. These events draws more golf enthusiasts every year to Southwest Florida.
A large number of our developments are Golf Course Communities. Some excellent designers have ‘carved’ a place in the sun. They include; Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Arthur Hills, Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Joe Lee, and many, many more. In fact, we have more courses per capita than any area in the world. When you stop for lunch or go out to dinner, odds are you will be in close proximity to a golfer’s table. Listen carefully, it might be tomorrow’s match…. With so many wonderful and challenging courses in the area, its a new experience everyday!!
Whether you enjoy the challenge of bunker play, navigating water hazards, the company of local wildlife, fast or undulating greens, or just a friendly wide open course; you can find them all in Naples. Showoff your long drives on Lely Flamingo, playing 7171 yards from the Championship Tees. Challenge the wind at the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club, or demonstrate your finesse around the green at Pelican’s Nest. If you like golf, you will love Naples. Naples sets the standard for golf in South Florida.
One of the true joys of playing a golf in Southwest Florida is you can see nature in the wild. Eagles, Osprey, Alligators, and other wild life abound. You just have to look for them, they are there. Watch where you go, you are on THEIR turf!!
Thing to do in Naples!

Dyson vacuums are legendary; they’re the main reason divorce is so ugly. So imagine what happens when you put that powerful technology to work cleaning rivers instead of rugs.
Did you picture marine trash getting slurped up into the world’s biggest vacuum bag? Ding ding ding! James Dyson hasn’t actually CREATED his super-sucker yet, but he’s made a design for the M.V. Recyclone boat, a.k.a. the U.S.S. Sucky. Check it:
The barge would scoop plastic off of a river’s surface before the junk can make it to the ocean, explains Fast Co. Exist:
The famed designer’s recycling barge, which uses the same cyclone technology as found in Dyson’s vacuum cleaners, has large nets that trap plastic floating on the river’s surface. A suction system then pulls in the waste, where it’s separated and then sent for processing.
Plastic trash in the Pacific got 100 times worse in just the past four decades. When barnacles and fish snack on plastic, you can bet it’ll sneak upward into the food chain. By sucking a little more, Dyson just might help your fish and chips suck a bit less.

The feel-good romance movie isn’t about love, but instead fate and statistics, or at least that’s what the narrator said.
There were many details throughout the film that felt off.
While still a phenomenal show, the focus on romance is too much.

High-cycle fatigue strength of a Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 \\citerf1 bulk glassy alloy was examined using the rotating-beam fatigue test. The Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 bulk glassy alloy showed a distinct knee at an applied stress of 0.15 σB (σB: tensile strength of 1600 MPa) and a cycle number N=4×107. However, in the equal applied stress of 0.15 σB, some samples fractured over the knee cycle numbers. It is likely that the origin of the fracture is to the partial embrittled hardening resulting from crystallization or structural relaxation, which is probably caused by the thermal effect from plastic deformation region. Such a partial hardening by the thermal effect characterizes the fatigue feature of the bulk glassy alloy. It is revealed that no fatigue limit is seen on the Wöhler curve of the Pd40Cu30Ni10P20 bulk glassy alloy.

CBCP youth commission affirmed by fellow youth reps during international meeting
MANILA, April 12, 2012—The Episcopal Commission on Youth of CBCP headed by Fr. Conegundo Garganta, its executive secretary and Maria Victoria Tacderas, senior staff of NSYA was affirmed by fellow youth representatives around the world on their ten minute report during the international meeting and evaluation of the recently concluded World Youth Day 2011.
The international meeting was held in Rome last March 29-April 1 which was attended by 300 national representatives from different Episcopal Youth Commission in 200 countries.
Garganta emphasized that there were affirmations from other national representatives during the international meeting.
“We were affirmed of what we reported; other representatives affirmed that the WYD celebration was good to the Filipino youth which positively responded to the invitation to the challenges offered by the participation in the WYD,” he said.
“The positive response was being firm in the faith and how it is shown in the daily life or lives of the participants on the previous WYD celebration. It was also the challenged to continue to share the good news that was gained or heard from the WYD experience. These were the things that were affirmed during the meeting,” Garganta added.
Garganta said the report was about the beautiful and positive results of the World Youth Day 2011 to the Filipino pilgrims.
“We shared on the pastoral gains that young people who participated in Madrid manifested that their spiritual growth bore their involvement in schools, parishes and dioceses on youth activities. Some of these young people had grown in their chosen vocation to the priesthood, religious life and their being lay. Such positive things were shared during the report in the meeting in Rome,” Garganta said.
Other than the report from five countries within five continents, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro organizers hared their gains and fruits as well as the preparations, respectively.
Representatives present were also officially invited by the WYD 2013 Rio organizers.
The priest also disclosed that details for the upcoming World Youth Day 2013 celebrations are yet to be finalized by May and hopefully by July, there will be more significant details that they will provide via e-mail so that those countries who will participate will be properly guided.
He added that on November, there will be an international meeting in Brazil as for the preparations for 2013.
“Country representatives are expected to come for official and final directions or guideline that will be shared during that meeting,” he also added.
The Church official pointed out that preparation per country may now start because there are already initial data in the website www.rio2013.com.
“There are topics that were given, but the general schedule is yet to be produced by Brazilian organizers. Here in the Philippines, there is no official date when to start the preparation because it is yet to be discussed by the commission. We are still waiting on the general information from the organizer and still much to wait for the program, directions and guidelines of the upcoming celebration,” he explained.
He encourages those who are interested to join the WYD 2013 celebration to be ready on the requirements particularly the amount concerned for the trip.
Garganta disclosed that the commission thought to bring a big number to represent the country for many young people to participate, but still there are many practical things that they need to consider.
“We need also to be clear that participation in this international event for those we bring must have quality participation and involvement. So if we can have a small group that we can really offer, number is not a problem. What we need to consider is the quality of our delegates that represents our country to this international event. We are clear that this is a gathering in faith, sharing of faith and invitation to grow to oneself in one’s faith and to help others to grow in their faith. The representation is not because of the number but more on the quality on how the pilgrims will represent that richness or the wealth of our country as Catholics,” he furthered.
Guest speakers for the said event were Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, President, Pontifical Council for the laity, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, Archbishop of Madrid (talking about the Pastoral Fruits of Madrid 2011), Yago de la Cierva, Executive Director of WYD 2011 (shared on the logistics of WYD 2011 in Madrid), Archbishop Orani Joao Tempesta, Rio de Janeiro (on the significance of WYD for the archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro), Bishop Eduardo Pinheiro da Silva, President of the Episcopal Youth Commission, Brazil (shared about the the Church and youth ministry in Brazil), Don Carlos Savio, Brazilian Bishops’ Conference Youth Sector (on the aspect of the pastoral preparation of Brazil), Bishop Joseph Clemens, Secretary, Pontifical Council for the Laity, and Rev. Fabio Attard, General Councilor for Salesian Youth Ministry for the youth ministry and the challenges for education today. (Jandel Posion)
