21. When the investigation commissioner is of the opinion that a person whose testimony he deems necessary will fail or refuse to be present at the inquiry, he may order such person arrested, with or without a warrant, and brought before him within twenty-four hours after his arrest or, if that is impossible, within the shortest possible delay; the investigation commissioner may then, in order to ensure his presence at the inquiry, require bail of such person or direct that such person be detained in a house of detention.
No person shall be so detained for more than twenty-four hours without being brought again before the investigation commissioner; the investigation commissioner’s decision to extend the detention beyond twenty-four hours may be revised by a judge of the Superior Court for the district in which the investigation commissioner rendered his decision.
If the investigation commissioner requires the detention of several persons in the same house of detention, he may order that such persons be detained separately from one another, so that they cannot communicate with each other.
Any person arrested under this section may also be brought before a justice of the peace. In such a case a justice of the peace also possesses the powers conferred on an investigation commissioner under this section, subject to the same conditions.

Xiaomi has finally launched the iterative upgrade for Redmi Note 4G. The newest phablet comes with a full-HD display and runs the Android Lollipop based MIUI 7. The Redmi Note 2 was unveiled at an event in China and has been currently priced at CNY 899 which nearly equates to Rs 9,000/$140 while the Redmi Note 2 Prime has been priced at CNY 999 which is slightly higher at Rs 10,000/$156.
In order to keep the base prices low, Xiaomi has also come up with a 3G only device which will be priced at around Rs 8,000. Only difference between the 4G and the 3G versions is the LTE connectivity feature apart from which both the devices are almost similar. As of now, the company did not divulge about the Indian plans for Redmi Note 2 and hopefully they would share the details at the company’s event in New Delhi scheduled for 19th of this month.
The Redmi Note 2 Prime features a processor that is clocked at greater speed than the plain Redmi Note 2 and it will also come with 32GB of internal storage. All the three variants of Redmi Note 2 share the same 5.5-inch FHD display, and lacks microSD slot.
Xiaomi seems to have moved away from Qualcomm by opting for MediaTek Helio X10 processor clocked at a mighty 2.0GHz (2GHz quad-core Cortex A53- 2GHz quad-core Cortex A53) paired with a 2GB of RAM. Considerin their ongoing tussle with Ericsson with regards to Mediatek processors, don’t be surprised if they actually launch Redmi Note 2 and Note 2 Prime with Snapdragon processor in India. The device packs a punchy battery pack at 3060 mAh and at the launch event Xiaomi further showcased the Redmi Note 2 ability with the AnTuTu score of 54024, squarely beating Meizu and Huawei.
Xiaomi’s new MIUI 7 which is based on Android Lollipop 5.0 was showcased in the event and the highlights of the new UI included a intuitive facial recognition feature that will group photos by people. The new range of Redmi Note 2 phones will help the company turbo boost the sale and compete efficiently against the new competitors. The budget Android phablet space has also changed drastically since Xiaomi unveiled the Note a year ago and with this updated lineup it seems that they will be back on track.

It’s hard to exactly determine why CNBC’s viewership is bouncing around near all time lows along with its revenue, but as the recent Nielsen Ratings demonstrate there could be a problem in what some consider the land of Wall Street gloss and cheerleading.
CNBC vs Bloomberg
Comparing the fate of CNBC to Bloomberg, considered the more hard hitting business news source, is to note a study in contrast. Since spring of 2008, Bloomberg’s revenue has jumped to more than $9 billion, from $5.4 billion while subscriptions to Bloomberg’s pricey financial news terminals have grown to 321,000, from 273,000, despite a shrinking financial sector, a recent New York Times article noted. Bloomberg’s television ratings are not public but they are said to be lower than CNBC, however.
A recent article in the underground business news website ZeroHedge, perhaps CNBC’s journalistic polar opposite, mused about the problem at the Wall Street news network that is considered by some to protect elite Wall Street interests and big bank executives before reporting on it.
Reasons for CNBC being in a free fall
Why is CNBC in free fall? ZeroHedge indicated it could be due to the emergence of centrally-planned markets dominated by large banking interests – which on-air reports challenge. It might also be due to high frequency trading – automated, self executing computers – pushing out humans. Perhaps it was due to “volatility plunging to record lows and complacency at record highs,” ZeroHedge wrote.
Howard Lindzon, chairman of StockTwits, joked on Twitter with CNBC ratings at a 21 year low, “they need to switch to game shows quickly.” Lindzon’s appearances on the network were said to have fallen sharply after he made critical comments about Citibank.
Charlie Gasparino left CNBC and Join FBN
Some argue this transition from news to pure entertainment that protects powerful interests has already taken place. “Female faces that are increasingly taking over the primetime financial TV slots,” ZeroHedge noted, treading on sensitive politically correct ground. The alternative business news source, popular because it challenges authority, continued: “Because people are tired of Cramer’s endless ‘caffeine’ high and endless attempts to justify a record disconnect between manipulated record high ‘markets’ and a stagnant economy in which some 53 million workers are ‘freelancers,’ or simply because video game consoles don’t watch TV, America’s interest with finance and the stock market is over.”
The network is frequently accused of failing to report negative news regarding Wall Street’s elite banks, even when their actions involve criminal behavior and blocked DoJ investigations.
“On the topic of Wall Street, the only “f-bomb” CNBC fails to drop is the fraud pulled off by Wall Street firms when they failed to properly mark their books and fueled massive problems for the American economy,” wrote author and derivatives authority Janet Tavakoli on her blog.
In a business news environment where keeping a lid on Wall Street criminal behavior is increasingly difficult, CNBC has choices to make going forward. They can be a “news program” and report the actual news and challenge authority, or they can remain a “show” considered as nothing more than entertainment in some quarters.

Residents of the South Okanagan Valley have been hearing about the pros and cons of a South Okanagan Similkameen National Park fairly intensely for about 13 years with Parks Canada spending much of that time doing a feasibility study of the park concept.
The Okanagan First Nations spent more than a year doing their own feasibility study. However, the provincial government pulled out of the park study group in December, 2011 saying there was insufficient support for a park. A recent Freedom of Information request by the Osoyoos Times revealed that in fact the cabinet had made the decision to pull out of the talks in January 2011 but kept that decision secret for just about one year.
Since then the provincial government has been adamant in its opposition to a national park. Local MLA Linda Larson said only one year ago that she couldn’t understand why park supporters insist on “flogging a dead horse.” She went on to say that tourism wasn’t that important and she would much rather have ranchers than tourists.
However, on Aug. 13 the provincial government released what it called an intentions paper titled Protected Areas framework for British Columbia’s South Okanagan. The “dead horse” seems to have gained new life, at least temporarily. The intentions paper proposes that the level of protection be significantly upgraded for three areas of the South Okanagan — basically all of the area proposed by Parks Canada for a park plus some additional areas. In fact they suggest that two of the three areas be considered by Parks Canada for a national park. How original!
While the intent of the province opens the door to a renewed conversation about the possibility of giving some of our rarest landscape national park status, there is a great deal about this intentions paper that smells very fishy to me. I don’t think it is a coincidence that the paper was released just two weeks after a federal election campaign got underway and with no advertising of the concept to the public. No open houses or information sessions were scheduled for the public to become informed or ask questions on this very important land use issue. In addition, only 60 days is being allowed for public comment so anyone wishing to comment must do so by Oct. 12.
Not only are we in the midst of a federal election, but school is just starting up and agricultural people are tied up with fruit and grape harvesting. The park issue has been around for at least 13 years — why the big rush now to get public comment within 60 days. In addition, the government has provided seven questions for the public to consider in responding to the intentions paper. To my mind, the questions are so generalized and require so much specialized knowledge of the areas in question that very few people, me included, are in a position to provide a meaningful response.
The government has requested that all public comment be submitted by way of their website and using only their questions. There seems to be no provision for people without internet access to be involved. A suspicious mind might think it is a ploy by the provincial government to keep comments to a minimum.
In discussing whether some of the area should become a national park, the intentions paper appears to put so many conditions on the park proposal that the same suspicious mind might conclude that the provincial government is actually hoping Parks Canada will find the proposal unacceptable and then the provincial Liberals can blame Parks Canada for there not being a South Okanagan National Park.
I really hope I’m wrong about all of this.

Twelve large-format photographs by local artist Kyle Sweet are on display at Blue Giraffe 2 through April. The exhibit focuses on local wildlife, plants and landscapes. The canvases are hung in three different rooms in the restaurant. In the absence of an artist’s opening reception, the artist and Blue Giraffe 2 invite the public to stop by the restaurant to view the exhibit.
Kyle Sweet has lived in Southwest Florida for nearly 30 years, and has been an avid photographer since high school. Since 1993, and as course superintendent since 1997, Kyle has photographed the Sanctuary Golf Club and its native wildlife. With the help of local environmental professionals at the City of Sanibel, SCCF, and the “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Kyle became a Certified Florida Master Naturalist. Images of Florida’s unique ecosystem and wildlife are a primary focus of his photographs, including the pristine bays and beaches of Sanibel and Captiva, local preserve lands, the Everglades, and the areas throughout Central Florida where Kyle grew up.
“We’re delighted to showcase the gorgeous, lush photographs Kyle has included in this exhibit,” Blue Giraffe manager Brad MacKenzie said. “It’s a great pleasure to be able to sponsor an exhibit space that promotes amazing visual artists like Kyle who live and work in our community.”
Blue Giraffe 2, at Beachview Estates, is next to the Sanibel Island Golf Club at 1100 Par View Drive, Sanibel. The restaurant is open to the public every day, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., for lunch, dinner, and brunch on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, call Blue Giraffe 2 at (239) 558-5634.

The handsome young president told the midshipmen to stand at ease — none of them did.
"Perhaps the plebes will. Did you explain that to them?" President John F. Kennedy joked to the Naval Academy leadership. "That comes later in the course."
Most of the mids standing in Tecumseh Court on the hot August day in 1963 were plebes — they didn't want to do anything that got them in trouble. Even if the orders came from the commander-in-chief.
Kennedy told the Class of 1967 that if he was a young man in 1963, he couldn't think of a better place to begin his career than at a military academy.
"And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy,'" he said.
"We grew up in a cauldron of change," said Dave Church, president of the Class of 1967.
While students on college campuses across the country protested for free speech, experimented with drugs and listened to Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Beach Boys in their dorm rooms, the same couldn't be said for Naval Academy midshipmen in the 1960s. (The class's song was "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by The Animals and notoriously annoyed the commandant at the time. It's now required to be played at all class reunions.)
Mids' lives were based on what was going on inside of the Yard, Church said. Unlike now, there weren't many restaurants or bars in downtown Annapolis. Church recalls a greasy sub shop, where midshipmen could eat high caloric sandwiches and play on pinball machines.
"Even today, it's a hard place to be, but it's a great place to be from," he said. "Annapolis is a sleepy, little waterman town. You didn't go down there as a midshipman."
Liberty for the mids was limited, and they were often required to attend sporting or academic events on Saturdays, said Linton Wells, a '67 alumnus. Other former midshipmen recalled watching movies on the Yard on Saturday nights.
"We were all kept on a short tether," Wells said.
With limited radios and televisions, the mids learned most of the news from reading The Capital or national newspapers. Alumnus Mike Singleton said mids were required to talk about an article they read every day in class. That's where he learned about the Gulf of Tonkin and the rising tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
But for alumni like former Navy football player Calvin Huey, many of the nation's current events stayed outside of the academy's walls.
Huey was one of the two black midshipmen in the class and was one of about 10 black midshipmen who attended the academy between 1963 and 1967. When the civil rights movement began to build in '63, Huey said he was too focused on doing well at the academy.
He didn't learn about the March on Washington until Christmas break, almost six months later.
"In reality, I didn't know what was going on in the black community," he said. "You had to stay in the moment while you were there and know the things you had to know."
Huey added he didn't feel he was treated differently than other mids and credited being an athlete for why he had an easier time as a plebe.
When it came to the escalation of the Vietnam War, several of the alumni said they expected to be deployed after graduation — and many were.
Wells said he and his fellow midshipmen saw the Vietnam War in terms of the domino theory regarding communism in southeast Asia. But several alumni, especially those from small towns, said they didn't have many friends against the war or come in contact with protests.
"The peak of disillusionment didn't really come home to me as a midshipman," Wells said. He did have a girlfriend during that time who was "very anti-war" and their differing mentalities did impact the relationship, he said.
When a handful of local '67 graduates returned Wednesday, they could still recall the spot where Kennedy stood during their plebe summer. Many live in Annapolis, Washington, D.C., or Northern Virginia and frequently hold mini-reunions every year, including Army-Navy tailgates and I-Day picnics.
Several of the '67 alumni will present the Class of 2017 graduates with the gold ensign and second lieutenant bars during graduation. Alumnus Jim McNeece said he still gets a lump in his throat when he thinks about his graduation, specifically the cheers right before the hat toss.
The brigade gives three cheers for those about to leave the academy, and the graduates give three cheers for those they're leaving behind. To him, the moment represented his class's journey as midshipmen.
"To look at where we started and look at all the stuff we've been through. And it was done," he said. "Now we get on with this thing called life."

More and more data is being accumulated concerning the epidemiology of the Covid-19 epidemic. There are ongoing studies analyzing a number of issues including: Who are the people most likely to develop serious illness if the virus is contracted? What is the profile of people most likely to be hospitalized? What factors contribute to people dying from the disease?
NYU in New York is studying a number of these issues and one of these studies has a bunch of data in already (over 4000 people in the study) that shows the most significant “risk factor” for those under the age of 60 that will require hospitalization: Obesity. Surprisingly a history of cancer or underlying lung disease were not as predictive as a high BMI.
As we have previously heard that diabetes, hypertension and heart disease were also risk factors for serious disease/hospitalizations, it should come as no surprise that obesity is the most important risk factor. Many of these other risk factors are co-morbidities of poor weight control, hence the logic why it is being shown that obesity is the most serious of the risks, as it contributes to the others.
The surreal, sobering experience of going through this pandemic has us all reevaluating our lives, our hopes, our relationships, our expectations of the “new normal” as well as our priorities. Most of us used to think about controlling weight for a myriad of reasons, some of which are about health and some about aesthetics. Now, one of the most important motivations to control weight is to avoid being part of the horrific scenario being played out every night on news shows: hospitals being overrun by people in the ICU on ventilators.
Please try to use this time to not stress eat, but rather, focus on becoming stronger. You owe this to yourself and your family.

'No Threat' to US Jobs as Japan's Suntory Co. Buys Bourbon Maker
It's the quintessential "Made in America" product: Kentucky bourbon.
And no brands are more famous than Maker's Mark and Jim Beam, made by Beam Inc., a company almost as old as the United States itself. The company was established in 1775.
The men and women who make the liquor are now trying to understand what it will mean to work for Suntory, the Japanese company made famous in the 2003 movie "Lost in Translation."
On Monday, Suntory said that it would buy Beam for $13.62 billion.
But don't cry for Kentucky. This deal could actually mean more U.S jobs, not fewer. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said he welcomed the deal.
"They've [Suntory] indicated there will be no threat to local jobs. As a matter of fact, Beam is growing quite a bit, especially the bourbon segment," Fischer said.
There is currently a bourbon boom. Production is up more than 120 percent since 1999. Thanks to exports, no market is more promising than Asia.
Fred Noe of Beam Inc. told ABC News that growing exports means jobs.
"It's jobs for all these people," he said. "We're selling American products around the world, which is great."
Even before the deal, Beam was aggressively marketing Asia.
Now Beam will be Japan's biggest beverage company - one with the plans and the know-how to sell more bourbon in Asia.
And it's bourbon made in Kentucky by American workers.
ABC News' Jonathan Karl contributed to this story.

Author has written 7 stories for Twilight, Grey's Anatomy, and Vampire Diaries.
When I don't write, I get certifiably insane. Is that a problem?
So, I kind of have to get something off my chest:
I'm ridiculously upset with the Vampire Diaries right now. I won't say anything because I don't want to leave any potential spoilers but...JESUS. Gah. So frustrated. I also wanted to post to let you all know that I AM working on the next SLML post and hope to have it up soon - real life sucks.
Also, just got on a roll with So the Darkness I Became Chapter 3. I'm enjoying it so much more now, experimenting with Damon's humanity and his darkness. Very excited.
Some might notice that I changed my pen name. Eh. ViolaBuddies was a little juvenile, so I switched over to something profound and dark. :)
Mirror Water is my best friend, and has finally joined me on the dark side and created her own fanfiction account. You should definitely check out some of her awesome work!

Thanks to their superior properties, such as high temperature and chemical resistance, low weight and dimensional stability, high-performance polymers – such as PPA and PPS – are increasingly replacing assemblies made of metal and conventional engineering plastics. In the automotive industry in particular, this trend is being boosted by the increasing system complexity and integration of functionalities, while at the same time demanding a reduction in installation space and weight.
However, the dependence on the optical properties of the joined parts makes laser welding of high-performance plastics a demanding task. This is because they often have a very low transparency for the laser radiation even when unfilled, due to the material properties and pre-processes, for example because of their microstructure.
In order to meet the challenging process conditions, special optical systems, such as the Next Generation Optics (NGO) from Evosys Laser GmbH, can be used for these demanding applications. In combination with special process control, they significantly improve energy input. Due to the much more homogeneous irradiation strategy, undesired effects, such as burns on the component surface at high energy densities, can be eliminated. At the same time, weld seam quality and strength is increased and process time is reduced.
The NGO thus considerably expands the possible applications of laser welding and transfers its advantages to the field of high-performance materials. This makes a significant contribution to meeting the increasing demands for weight reduction, higher packaging and increased cost efficiency.

Actisaf® Sc 47 the reference yeast probiotic for better animal performance
Actisaf® Sc 47 ensures compatibility with a wide range of feed types, producing record resistance to the combined effects of multiple stress factors including the heat, humidity, compression, and friction, associated with current pelleting processes and compatibility of other feed ingredients, such as acids. The resistance of our yeast probiotic to the increasing constraints of pelleting makes it possible to guarantee its survival, and its benefits regarding animal performance.
Adding Actisaf® Sc 47 to animal feeds has been seen to boost the performance of animals by improving their rumen/gut microbiota biotop. This not only improves feed digestibility and energy supply but also the overall health status and well-being of animals, even in challenging conditions (Heat stress, feed transition…).
Actisaf® Sc 47 helps optimise herd management to deliver full genetic potential, improving breeding efficiency and profits in today’s farming environment in which sustainability is highly prized.

JOURNAL OF FOOD SAFETY, vol.36, no.3, pp.375-382, 2016 (SCI-Expanded)
The increasing industrial interest in easy, economical and reliable methods has led to the development and application of DNA-based methods for the detection of microbial pathogens in food. In the present article, we describe the development of a cost-efficient EvaGreen-based real-time Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique for simultaneous and practical detection of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) in the food matrix. EvaGreen-based simplex and duplex real-time PCR showed that specific PCR products were identified by melting curve analysis, and had a reproducible T-m of 77.000.4C for L. monocytogenes and 85.60 +/- 0.2 for E. coli O157:H7.The absolute detection limit of Eva Green-based simplex and duplex real-time PCR was 0.0001 ng/L for DNA of both pathogens. The relative detection limit of the simplex and duplex technique was less than 10 cells/mL for the two pathogens.


WhatsApp admin to face action in case of objectionable posts on group
After a 22-year-old man died in police custody in Jharkhand, cops believe that the fault lies with the WhatsApp groups. These are the guidelines by Jharkhand cops
A 22-year-old man died in Jamtara district in Jharkhand reportedly after he was tortured when he was in police custody for forwarding a joke on beef on WhatsApp.
Although the man died in police custody, cops believe that the fault lies with the WhatsApp groups. So Jharkhand cops have come out with a circular saying that WhatsApp group admins will be held responsible for content in their groups, as reported by India Today.
In a circular issued in Dumka, Jharkhand, the government officials laid down guidelines.
1- WhatsApp group admins should understand that they have lots of responsibility and unless they are not willing to shoulder this responsibility, they should not be the group admin.
2- The group admins should only add people they know and are familiar with.
3- If someone spreads rumours in the group or says something that is false or wrong, the group admin should immediately delete that message and kick out the member who posted it.
4- If the WhatsApp message is a rumour and can affect peace within the society, it is the responsibility of the group admin to inform police immediately.
5- If the group admin doesn't react after rumours have been posted in the group, he or she will be held responsible and booked under provisions of IPC and IT Act.
In addition to WhatsApp groups, the circular issued by the cops also make it clear that rules regarding group admins apply on social media communities also.

I know some plants grow well together and some don't, I just don't know which ones. I placed a tractor tire near the garage and filled it with dirt to plant strawberries in. Now the wife wants me to plant some Asparagus also. can I plant them together in the tire or will it cause problems?? Thanks, Chris
I don't think you'll have much success at all. Asparagus is hard to establish, and I doubt you can do it with strawberries growing there.
If you do manage to establish asparagus, it will displace the strawberries because they are not good competitors against asparagus..

Investors in Tesla often point to the company’s network of high-speed recharging stations as a key advantage. Most Tesla owners can use the stations and their “Superchargers” for free — an important selling point that has helped Tesla win over wary first-time electric-car owners.
While other providers are stepping up to build high-speed recharging stations in the U.S. and Europe, as of right now, Tesla is the only electric-vehicle maker with a robust high-speed recharging network. It’s a powerful selling point that any major automaker looking to compete with Tesla has to be able to counter.
So far, no rival automaker has proposed to build a recharging network that’s anything like Tesla’s. But one company that’s looking to directly challenge Tesla in the market for upscale, fast electric vehicles has come up with a counter for the Supercharger argument that doesn’t involve building thousands of stations.
That company, German sports-car maker Porsche, plans to beat Tesla in a different way: by beating its recharging technology.

After an extended period of absence with injury after signing for Arsenal, Tierney made his first start for the club’s senior side against Nottingham Forest on September 24th.
The left-back then played 90 minutes against Standard Liege a week later, before making the bench in the Premier League against Bournemouth that weekend. He then took the international break off, with Scotland deciding not to call him up to aid his recovery.
Tierney didn’t manage to get onto the pitch against Bournemouth, but a league debut on Monday is starting to look very likely. Unai Emery stated in his press conference that Tierney is “ready to play” now.
Additionally, Sead Kolasinac doesn’t return to training until tomorrow. Emery confirmed: “We give them (the players) two days recovery after their games with their national teams. Tomorrow they will begin training with us”.
Since Bosnia and Herzegovina played on Tuesday, with Kolasinac completing the full 90 minutes, he’s part of that group yet to rejoin training.
With the match on Monday and Tierney playing a full part with the group over the break, even featuring in a friendly against Reading, he’s arguably in a better position to start.
It would be exciting for Arsenal fans to get a first look at their new defender, particularly as he may be joined by Hector Bellerin or Rob Holding in defence for their own Premier League comebacks. It’s up to Unai Emery now though.


When it comes to hardware, there was not a lot of big news coming out of the Amazon Web Services re:Invent 2022 conference this week. And to be specific, there was not an announcement of a fourth-generation, honegrown Graviton4 processor that many had expected given that AWS, like other cloud builders, likes to keep an annual cadence for processor upgrades within its infrastructure.
But, there was a new Nitro v5 DPU processor that came out of the Annapurna Labs chip design division of AWS, which foretells what AWS might do with its Graviton4, as well as a deep sort of the existing Graviton3 chips that were announced this time last year and that started shipping in May, when we did a detailed price/performance analysis across the Graviton family of instances. With that deep sort in the chip bins coming back from fab partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, AWS is delivering a Graviton3E chip that delivers enhanced vector processing performance (and we think integer performance, but AWS is not focusing on that) and that is being coupled to the new 200 Gb/sec Nitro v5 DPU to goose the performance of networking as well as compute.
The Graviton3E and Nitro v5 chips were unveiled by Peter DeSantis, senior vice president of AWS utility computing. (We like the term utility a whole lot more than cloud because that is what AWS really is.) DeSantis didn’t say much in terms of details on either chip, but did talk a bit about networking enhancements that affect the performance of distributed computing on the AWS network that are important to HPC and AI applications as well as for more generic server workloads that are parallelized in some fashion.
This was basically the chart that discussed the Graviton3E:
This rev of the Graviton3 processor, according to DeSantis, was created to benefit weather forecasting, life sciences, and industrial engineering workloads that do a lot of floating point math in vector processing units, and it looks like the Graviton3E will deliver about 35 percent more raw performance over the Graviton3E. We think this comes strictly through cranking the clocks on the chip, and allowing it to run a whole lot hotter.
DeSantis did not talk about this, but we highly doubt that the Annapurna Labs has created a variant of the chip that has more vectors or wider vectors, and if it did, the performance improvements would be more like 2X. Moreover, we know the core counts are the same because both the C7gn and HPC7g instances that use the Graviton3E have 64 virtual cores, just like the existing Graviton3 instances. (AWS has one thread per core, and thus both the Graviton3 and Graviton3E chips have 64 cores.)
In any event, we think that the Graviton3E is running at around 3.5 GHz, which is a 35 percent increase over the 2.6 GHz clock speed of the Graviton3. We also think that this Graviton3E chip runs a lot hotter, jumping up to 240 watts from the 100 watts of the Graviton3. That is a 2.4X increase in heat for the processor to drive that 35 percent performance jump. For most HPC and AI shops, this may not be a fair trade. But AWS is paying the electric bill here, not the customers. (At least not directly.) And if AWS will give 35 percent more performance for less than 35 percent more price – a fair trade given that there is no Graviton4 chip until next year now – then this is no skin off the noses of HPC and AI users running workloads on AWS. When the pricing comes out sometime in 2023 for the Graviton3E instances, this is exactly what we expect to happen.
Perhaps the more important thing about the Graviton3E chip is that it is being matched with the new Nitro v5 DPU chip, which is a new chip from Annapurna Labs and which does indeed have about double the oomph of its predecessor, the Nitro v4.
As we have discussed many times before, the Nitro offload model, which has moved the server virtualization hypervisor as well as virtual storage and virtual networking drivers, and encryption processing off the CPUs in the AWS host servers onto the Nitro DPU, has been transformational for the AWS cloud over the past decade. And DeSantis talked a little bit about this.
“Like a good novel, interesting performance engineering has tension,” DeSantis explained in his keynote address (which you can see here and which ironically is hosted on Google’s YouTube service as usual). “With a cloud computing system, we need to balance things like security and low cost as we seek peak performance. There are typically easy ways to get good performance if you are willing to compromise on security or blow off your cost structure. But at AWS, we never compromise on security and we are laser-focused on cost. So how do we improve performance while also improving on security and cost. There is no better example of this than Nitro.”
AWS first started putting Nitro DPUs in its server nodes in 2013 and all servers since 2014 have had at least one generation of Nitro card installed. In some cases, there are two Nitro cards in a server node that tag team on offload and various post-processing and pre-processing work, and with the Graviton3 instances launched this time last year, there are three single-socket Graviton3 nodes that share one or two Nitro v4 cards. And soon, there will be single-socket Graviton3E instances that share one or two Nitro v5 cards.
Here is how the Nitro DPUs have evolved over time:
Without being precise, DeSantis said that the Nitro v5 CPU chip had twice as many transistors as the Nitro v4 chip, and had DRAM that was 50 percent faster as well as a PCI-Express bus that had 2X the bandwidth. That would seem to mean plugging into a PCI-Express 5.0 slot, and it probably means supporting DDR5 memory and we would not be surprised if it was using low power DDR5 (LPDDR5) main memory as Nvidia is doing with its “Grace” Arm server chips. We don’t know how many Arm cores the Nitro v5 card has, but we presume that there are twice as many cores as on the Nitro v4. It is a bit perplexing as to why the packet processing performance of the Nitro v5 is only going up by 60 percent (1.6X) instead of 2X, but the good news is that the latency through the Nitro v5 is 30 percent lower than with the Nitro v4 DPU and the Nitro v5 delivers 40 percent better performance per watt. We think a lot of this improvement is coming through a shrink from 7 nanometer processes on the Nitro v4 to a refined 5 nanometer process or even a 4 nanometer process with the Nitro v5. And we think the Graviton4 chip will make the same process jumps and that Nitro v5 is blazing the trail. There is an outside chance, as we said a year ago, that Graviton4 will make big architectural leaps to ARMv9 cores, and lots of them – at least 128 and maybe even 192 – and use 3 nanometer processes from TSMC to get it all done in a reasonable thermal envelope.
AWS doesn’t talk about its roadmap publicly, but you can sure bet any big all-in companies with seven figure or eight figure EC2 contracts know full well what the Graviton and Nitro chip roadmaps are.
There was another performance boost that DeSantis talked about, and it had to do with the multipath routing and congestion control software that AWS has developed for its homegrown Clos networks that it calls Scalable Reliable Datagram, or SRD. This SRD networking software, as it turns out, is now underpinning all kinds of network-dependent services and boosting their performance.
To understand what SRD is, you have to understand the difference between the TCP and UDP stacks running on a traditional fat tree network and trying to run that software on an AWS network with a very different topology. Here are the two network layouts:
This is a modified Clos network, and it is certainly not an all-to-all interconnect between switching devices but it is also not as wide and deep as a traditional fat tree network with lots of hops between servers across layers and layers of switches, either.
With this Clos topology and the SRD software, which provides multipathing between endpoints, cutting down on congestion and also allowing the network to heal around hardware failures, as well as retries in a matter of microseconds, AWS can boost the effective throughput of its networks while at the same time cutting down on latency through the network. SRD now underpins the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) and Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) network drivers that run atop the Nitro cards and that provide basic and more complex networking for applications running on EC2 instances and accessing various kinds of storage on the AWS cloud.
The ENA interface is the default networking interface for applications on EC2, and now SRD functionality is being added to it to create what AWS calls ENA Express with the Nitro v5 card. Because SRD is topology aware, services like TCP networking can have much higher bandwidth – the TCP over ENA adapter topped out at 5 GB/sec of bandwidth per connection, but with SRD, a single connection can be spread out across many links (fourteen of them in the example DeSantis showed) and deliver up to 25 GB/sec of bandwidth for a single TCP connection.
The ENA Express adapter was also tested running the ElastiCache in-memory cache that is analogous to Redis and Memcached. Because the virtual network adapter is now acutely aware of the AWS network topology and can navigate it better thanks to SRD, the read latencies of ElastiCache are way down, and they are way, way down when it comes to the tail latencies (99.999th percentile) than can wreak havoc on application performance. Take a gander:
And using the EFA virtual adapter on the Nitro v5 card with SRD support, the write latency on the Elastic Block Service – the network-based block storage sold separately alongside EC2 instances – is also being brought down. And again, the tail latencies are brought way down:
The EFA virtual adapter, by the way, supports RDMA and kernel bypass, just like InfiniBand and Ethernet with RoCE do. And that is one of the ways AWS cuts latency for HPC and AI workloads without having to resort to using InfiniBand. (EFA is a kind of RoCE support running on the server adapter, to one way of thinking about it.) And it is not just about latency. AWS has measure the 99.9th percentile bandwidth of EBS running with and without SRD on the Nitro v5 adapter and with it turned on the bandwidth is 4X higher.
Thus, all EBS io2 volumes are now going to be running the SRD stack.
That brings us to what little we know about the new EC2 instances.
The C7gn and HPC7g instances will have 200 Gb/sec networking thanks to the Nitro v5 card and will have up to 64 virtual CPUs and 128 GB of main memory. There will be slices of these machines sold as instances. The C7gn is in preview today and will ship next year, and AWS will share more information on the availability of the HPC7g instance early next year. AWS also has previewed an R7iz instanced based on Intel’s “Sapphire Rapids” Xeon SPs that run at an all-turbo speed of 3.9 GHz and that will have up to 128 vCPUs and 1 TB of memory.

Belize is a democratic, upper middle-income country located at the Caribbean coast of Central America. A member of both the Caribbean forum (CARIFORUM) and the Central American Integration System, Belize connects Central America and the Caribbean.
The structure of its economy has changed over the past 20 years. In 2016, agriculture accounted for 9.8%, industry for 14.9% and services for nearly 61.2% of its economic activity.
Belize faces many development challenges including having weak institutions and being vulnerable to external shocks, such as natural disasters and economic crises. The Belize government's ability to address these challenges is constrained by high debt levels and limited fiscal space.
Belize’s long-term development is guided by Horizon 2030. The National Development Framework for Belize 2010-2030, which is the basis of the MIP, prioritises democratic governance for effective public administration and sustainable development, education, economic resilience and a healthy citizenry and environment.
Belize and the European Union align with several EU policy objectives, most importantly the following two priority areas:
Green growth and sustainable socio-economic development
Our focus is green growth and sustainable socio-economic development among the southern districts of Belize through the sustainable management of natural resources that coherently links environmental preservation, rural transformation, income generation and inclusion of indigenous communities into the social fabric. We aim at unlocking the economic potential of Belize’s southern districts by providing technical assistance and financial resources for public and private investment. Importantly, these districts are home to the Mayan and Garifuna indigenous people who are not well connected to the national development and suffer from high poverty rates, lack of basic services and climate change effects.
Trade and economic integration of Belize into the Northern Triangle
We will focus on the trade and economic integration of Belize into the Northern Triangle, with Guatemala, considering that regional economic integration significantly contributes to growth rates and employment opportunities. The action will provide technical and financial assistance to the various mandates of the Joint Commission promoting cross-border trade and assisting the design of efficient border management while contributing to migration control.
The Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP) for Belize for 2021-2024 amounts to €17 million.
Priority area 1: ‘Green growth and sustainable socio-economic development’: the territorial focus of this intervention is a very high priority region for #PlanBelize. The Mayan and the Garifuna Indigenous peoples comprise 17.4% of Belize’s population, with the vast majority living in remote areas, and among the poorest in the country. Given the present circumstances and potential, the targeted areas require an inter-sectoral, interdisciplinary framework for implementing an inclusive, sustainable and resilient development approach. The intervention has a prominent green component as it aims to promote a model that protects and preserves the still intact ecosystems of the several forest reserves, marine reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries in Belize’s border region.
Priority area 2: ‘Regional integration and border management’ is based on the Special Agreement of December 2014. Both countries agreed to re-vitalise the Belize-Guatemala Joint Commission and advance the Partial Scope Trade Agreement. The initiatives and arrangements of the Joint Commission have a substantial impact on both countries, improving bilateral relations is at the forefront of resolving the border dispute and producing concrete signs of progress for the inhabitants of both countries, particularly in the border regions.
Support measures in favour of civil society during the decade-long border conflict with Guatemala left deep traces in the political sensitivity of the entire Belizean population. An eventual juridical decision or political agreement will not easily change the perception of threat and danger or invert an image which was built over a long time by public communication, private interests and social groups. In this context, preparing Belize society for the eventual ruling of the ICJ and, most importantly after a possible arbitration, will require a substantial engagement of civil society organisations.

Another successful User Conference is behind us. This year conference attendees were introduced to the Living Atlas of the World. The Living Atlas combines reference and thematic maps with topics relating to people, earth, and life. It is a collection of content communities assembled by Esri, the User Community, and our Partners all over the world.
Community basemaps are an integral part of the Living Atlas. Thousands of ArcGIS users have improved the coverage and quality of our basemaps by providing access to their map data. The World Topographic Map remains the “flagship” basemap in the Living Atlas collection and the Community Maps Team continued to encourage participation and explain the many benefits of contributing throughout the conference.
There were several opportunities for conference attendees to learn about Community Maps. Our popular “Getting to Know Community Maps” was presented again this year. This presentation highlighted what Community Maps is, how to participate, and the benefits of contributing to the program. This presentation also included a demonstration of the new and improved Community Maps data prep tools that were released just before the conference in July. A Demo Theater was conducted that showed attendees how to register and upload content through our Community Maps Contributor App. A Community Maps Special Interest Group (SIG) was held during the conference. The SIG included the Community Maps Timeline and a special user story about how Fairfax County, VA has applied the benefits of the program to the county and its residents.
The Community Maps Timeline stepped through the program changes and user-friendly functionality enhancements that have been introduced since ArcGIS Online launched Esri’s suite of basemaps. The timeline included a glimpse of what is to come in 2015 and beyond. The video below walks through the timeline.
Fairfax County’s GIS Applications Manager, Brendan Ford showed us how the county has implemented Community Maps in their daily operations. Fairfax County in the State of Virginia has been a contributor to Esri’s Community Maps since 2010.
Brendan was drawn to the program by the prospect of using ArcGIS Online basemaps instead of building their own basemaps to support applications. Before Community Maps, Brendan and his team spent a considerable amount of time developing basemap content with their first released web applications. Due to the subjective nature of the basemap cartography, where they started from scratch on symbols and label fonts, they struggled to develop a consistent basemap usable by multiple applications. Using the high-quality cartography of the World Topographic Map on ArcGIS Online was an easy choice for the new versions of their web mapping applications. You can learn more about this story be reading the Fairfax County Virginia Community Maps Success Story.

You can learn more about Community Maps by visiting our product page and by visiting our resource center. Many answers to your questions can be answered by visiting the Frequently Asked Questions page. You can email the Community Maps Team firstname.lastname@example.org for additional information.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Bay Area residents are used to hearing about how expensive the costs of living here are. Everything from housing and commercial real estate to cocktails seem to have bigger price tags than other parts of the country.
But a new study from retail sales research firm Observa found that when accounting for different income levels, you’re better off shopping in the Bay Area for some items than in other metro areas. The study found, for example, that it costs 396 percent more to buy healthy groceries in New Orleans than Palo Alto and that, for parents shopping for newborns, products cost 215 percent more in Tucson, Arizona, than in San Francisco.
“What we found is there is a discrepancy in cost once we take into account average income,” said Observa CEO Hugh Holman.
Unlike the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index, which measures pricing for an average set of consumer goods, Observa’s study analyzed more specialized baskets of goods, looking at the prices of goods that fit into certain lifestyles such as healthy foods, baby products, and items for retirees and older Americans.
The costs of the goods vary among the cities and brands. Certain brands price items the same across the country, while others price them differently according to shipping, distribution or other costs. Some goods are marked up by retailers and not necessarily the brand.
But, by using the median income in each area according to U.S. Census information, Observa created a comparison showing the percentage of the typical paycheck it takes to buy those products.
For example, if a pound of organic bananas is 89 cents in New Orleans and 99 cents in Palo Alto, the difference in price is not tremendously great but cuts into the average household income (which is $36,792 per year in New Orleans and $136,519 in Palo Alto) much differently.
“Because real estate in the Bay Area is expensive, conversation tends to drift towards all your expenses. But in reality, it can be cheaper for people to eat healthy in a place like San Jose,” Holman said. “It’s not what I expected to see; I thought it would more expensive (in high-income areas) because the market can bear more expensive goods.”
Demand for healthy (or at least what people perceive as healthy) products is growing in the United States overall. More than 82 percent of people buy organic products on a regular basis, according to the Organic Trade Association. But in New Orleans, the percentage of income required to purchase goods like organic fruit or meats is 11.1 percent, while in Palo Alto, it’s just 2.8 percent and San Francisco, 5.0 percent.
Similarly, the average spending on baby products like diapers, baby powder and bottles requires 8.8 percent of the median income in Tucson, while that drops to 6.1 percent in Boston and 4.1 percent in San Francisco.
The study also measured goods that older Americans tend to buy, such as vitamins, Ensure drinks and established cereal brands like Raisin Bran, and found that in San Francisco, the amount that people typically spend on those products requires 2.7 percent of the median income, while in Orlando or New Orleans, it requires 5.4 percent.
The report is the first segmented basket of goods study by Observa, which plans to expand the study to more cities and to different lifestyle segments.
The data could help provide an opportunity for brands to expand the market for certain goods and help consumers access products more affordably, say the researchers at Observa. They think that by pricing the products the same across regions, brands are missing an opportunity to differentiate from online retailers.
