Some months ago, my colleague Florian and me joined a development team of one of our clients. We are involved as architects and engineers of the application used in their retail stores.
The client currently migrates the core software from runni ng decentralized in each retail store (with its own databases) to a central solution. They heavily invested in Microsoft Azure as a Cloud provider and are moving more and more workloads to the Azure Cloud.
The client currently uses MSSQL databases in combination with the open-source Firebird database and has started to migrate data into the cloud. They have decided to use Cosmos DB as standard database for all new services in the cloud some years ago as it was the cheapest choice from their point of view.
Azure Cosmos DB is the solution of Microsoft for fast NoSQL databases. For those who live in the AWS (Amazon Web Services) world, Cosmos DB can be compared to the service DynamoDB. You can learn more about Cosmos DB here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cosmos-db
When working with Cosmos DB, you have to forget all the things you learned in the relational database world. To design a good data model, you need to learn how to design a data model depending on your future access patterns to your data, because the performance of Cosmos DB depends on the partitions. Therefore you must put more effort into the data modelling upfront. You can find more about here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/nosql/modeling-data
Cosmos DB instances can be created on demand and can be used in many programming languages.
The unique point of Cosmos DB — in comparison to traditional relational databases — is the distribution of the stored data around the world, the on-demand scalability and the effortless way to get data out of it. Due to the ensured low response times Cosmos DB allows multiple use cases in the web, mobile, gaming and IoT applications to handle many reads and writes.
Further use cases can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en/azure/cosmos-db/use-cases
Having joined the project as an architect and engineer, I was critical of using Azure Cosmos DB from the start, as I am a big fan of relational databases, especially for transactional data. My Cosmos DB journey began with writing a centralized device service to store clients’ purchased devices. We have used Azure Functions to implement the business logic on top of Azure Cosmos DB to retrieve and store the data.
Microsoft allows their customers to create several Cosmos DB instances in one Azure tenant. You can compare it to a database which holds several database tables. These instances can be used to separate workloads for different teams, stages or use cases.
Of course, in the document database world you can model your data without a specific schema. You can create your own JSON structures which makes it flexible as well. Often the idea is to combine different data into one item to allow fast reads. To reference data in other domains, you can use unique identifiers like the property id in the customer object.
You can find more about the structure of Azure Cosmos DB here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/account-databases-containers-items
Azure provides multiple ways to query data from Azure Cosmos DB.
The following interfaces are possible:
- NoSQL API
- MongoDB API
- Cassandra API
- Gremlin API
- Table API
An overview can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/choose-api
We started to use the NoSQL API in our project with the SQL like interface. It was an easier migration path coming from SQL based relational databases in comparison to the other interfaces. To access the data, you can also use the Azure Portal with the Data Explorer — the data explorer allows you to access your collections, query and manipulate data.
Cosmos DB allows to import data flexibly with different APIs.
There are two options at the moment:
- Import via Azure Datafactory service which can be used out of the box
- Import via custom CLI Tool which uses the cosmosDB API -> this tool needs to be developed
One way to import mass data is via Azure Data Factory which allows to pipeline data and map data from various sources and import into a Cosmos DB collection. We have used this mechanism a lot to transfer data from on-premises relational databases into the cloud and migrate data via pipelines into Cosmos DB collections.
Azure Data Factory works quite well, is fast and very flexible, but has its own drawbacks and challenges. Unfortunately, this topic is a subject in itself, so we cannot go into more detail here.
In the past we have also written our own CLI tools; they are more flexible for the datamapping and can be reviewed easier by other team members. By using bulk import with parallel threads with the cosmos API you will be as fast as the importing data via Azure Datafactory.
You can find a list of available SDKs here: https://developer.azurecosmosdb.com/community/sdk
Azure Cosmos DB provides several APIs to retrieve the data out of the containers. We have decided to use the SQL interface to get data out in the used Azure functions.
You can for example take this SQL like query to select all devices of a customer.
This looks familiar, right?
After some time, you notice that the SQL capabilities are limited as Azure Cosmos DB implements only a limited set of SQL specifications:
- Cosmos DB does not allow to join items from different collections — it only allows to join the item with itself which means that you need to read data separately from different collections to join your data. The documentation says that you have to change your data model if you have needs for joining.
- Cosmos DB provides functions as well, but you may know only a few of them and sometimes in a completely different way as you may know from SQL. You have to learn the cosmos specific syntax as there is no standard for querying data in NoSQL databases.
- Cosmos DB has limited capabilities for the group-by with having clause. Sometimes there are workarounds, sometimes not.
- Cosmos DB supports Limit and Offset, but this is very slow (as it is implemented) and you should use continuation tokens instead. Why? If you are interested to understand this, read here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/nosql/query/offset-limit and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58771772/cosmos-db-paging-performance-with-offset-and-limit
My experience was that you often found good workarounds or a complete cosmos specific way, but sometimes you didn’t find a solution which was a little bit frustrating.
Nevertheless, the most painful issue was that CosmosDB only report errors with following message: “One of the input values is invalid.” in your query without a useful hint.
In this case, I made the mistake of putting a semicolon at the end of the query.
Updating one or multiple rows in a relational database with one SQL statement is a common request for processing data.
Azure Cosmos DB exactly allows to update one item within a container by using multiple requests.
The procedure looks like this:
- Retrieve the whole document you want to update
- Update the fields you want to update in your application code
- Write back the whole document to Cosmos DB
Microsoft provides a new SQL update API to update one item without reading it before. The syntax for updating data is driven by the JSON PATCH standard (https://jsonpatch.com). This feature was a long time in preview and now is generally available in Azure Cosmos DB.
Mass updates to a larger set of documents cannot be done out of the box with one SQL statement. You must update each document separately. This limitation is a little bit surprising when you want to evolve your document schema.
Yes, you can write a tool based on the bulk API. But you probably know that updating a lot of data is slow and involves much more effort instead of writing a single update query like in the relational data world.
Deleting data in Azure Cosmos DB is generally possible by removing one item at a time via API. But there is unfortunately no support for SQL Delete-Statements!
In general all limitations for mass operations in Cosmos DB may have reasons — for instance, the guaranteed response times for any action in the Cosmos DB. Operations on a bigger set of data might lead to higher execution times.
But indeed this is an annoying point while writing and testing your software. Sometimes you need to remove specific data very quickly. One workaround is to drop the whole container and create your test data again, but often you have the case that you want to keep specific data in it.
For example, we had to remove two million entries from a collection to repeat a migration, but wanted to keep other data in the collection. This action took half an hour by using a developed tool.
Azure Cosmos DB provides a simple transactional concept. It allows to group a set of operations in a batch operation. Unfortunately, the batch concept is not integrated nicely into the API as it does not allow to wrap your code into a transactional block like interfaces to relational databases allow.
Additionally, transactions do not allow to update documents from different partitions which is understandable from a technical point of view, but this limits a lot. In our service we had the use case to update several documents at once from several partitions and we had to live without transactions in the end.
I was very surprised starting with Cosmos DB to find such limited resources, articles and tools around the platform. But I understood this situation quickly because Cosmos DB is an exclusive, commercial service of Microsoft and is not as popular as Amazon DynomoDB for example.
Microsoft itself provides limited tooling only:
- the azure portal with the data explorer (https://cosmos.azure.com)
- a visual studio code extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-cosmosdb
- a CosmosDB emulator which runs natively under Windows https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/cosmos-db/data-explorer
The community has written some tooling:
- The Cosmos DB Explorer for Windows https://github.com/sachabruttin/Cosmos DBExplorer
- CosmicClone to clone data from one container to another https://github.com/microsoft/CosmicClone
Unfortunately there is no big community around Cosmos DB like for example for PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB. Anyways, most of the good, known database tools out there which are supporting several vendors do not support Azure Cosmos DB. Mostly because it works completely different than relational databases.
Additionally Azure Cosmos DB allows to use stored procedures. Wait — Are stored procedures not a thing from the last century? Why should we use it? Probably you will notice that you need to use stored procedures for some scenarios like a mass deletion of entries in your collection as this is not supported out of the box.
There are many advanced topics for Cosmos DB like scaling, partition keys etc. — these topics need their own blog post. You can read more about that in the official documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/
Using a document-based database is not a no-brainer. Document-based databases like Azure Cosmos DB are not a replacement for relational databases and it was never the intention.
Yes, Azure Cosmos DB has its use cases:
- If you have the use case “write once — read many” (for example just store data with a stable structure), you can use it.
- If you need global distribution of your data, you probably need it.
The problem is that you do not have these requirements in general for business applications very oftem. In my opinion most of the applications do not need to scale this way (besides, you are Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix or another global player).
On the other side Azure Cosmos DB has some heavy limitations when working with the data, especially if you want to evolve your schema. If you want to store relational data within Cosmos DB and have a lot of changes in the data over time, Cosmos DB makes it very complicated and is currently not a good choice from my point of view.
Besides these considerations one task has become very, very important from the beginning: design how to model and to partition your data. But this is a story on its own.

“This country is repressing our people. If we’re going to be heroes, if we’re really going to be those veterans that this country praises, well, then we need to do the things that we actually said we’re going to do when we took the oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic” says prominent veteran and former Baltimore police officer Michael A. Wood.
“I’ve been watching the news, how they’re spraying everybody and using rubber bullets, and these guys are fighting for what they believe in and as a veteran we took an oath. We’re not just there to protect Americans in foreign countries. We’re here to protect this country inside of it, too” said former Marine Jade Emilio Snell.

The worst is the situation in the already economically weak north-west of the country, in the regions on the border with Germany. There the 7-day incidences are over 1000, which is ten times that of Austria. Three of these counties have now been cordoned off. You can only enter and leave the country with a negative corona test. The police control highways and country roads. The neighboring state of Bavaria, to which many Czechs commute to work, has tightened the restrictions on these commuters. You are now only allowed to drive directly to and from work, shopping or other errands are prohibited.
Distrust of government
Prime Minister Babis and his government have lost a lot of trust in the last few months of the pandemic. Babis, entrepreneur and multimillionaire, had always scored with promising to run the country strategically and goal-oriented like a company. Corona management, on the other hand, is quite derailed. While widely announced measures such as consistent contact tracing never really worked, people alternated between unlocking and locking, lockdown and relaxation. But it never brought the number of infections under control. As early as autumn, the Czech Republic was chronically negative record holder in the EU, and the numbers have never reached a reasonable level since then.

But while the Coke ad, from 40-odd-years ago, was considered a masterpiece, the Pepsi ad has gone down with its audience like an especially ugly brick.
Pepsi was quick to pull the ad and issue an apology. “Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding,” it said, “clearly, we missed the mark and apologise. We did not intend to make light of any serious issue.”
Meanwhile, Nivea has been busy pulling one of its ads.
In the case of Nivea, it is very hard to see how the ad ever got approved: "Keep it clean, keep it bright. Don't let anything ruin it," ran the copy with the accompanying headline: "White is purity." The ad appeared on its Middle East Facebook page. Well, no excuses for that, the flaws in this ad should have been spotted on day one.
But what about the Pepsi debacle?
It is not usual for brands to link themselves to political causes: if their target audience holds a specific set of attitudes, then backing the campaigns this group feels an affinity to, can pay dividends. Ads from Airbnb and Google showed during the Super Bowl had an unmistakably pro-diversity anti-Trump theme.
Indeed, effective ads carry risks. And risks, by definition, can back-fire or else they wouldn't be risks.
And Pepsi got it wrong.
Nicola Kemp, trends editor at advertising trade magazine, Campaign, was quoted as saying that the problem may have been that Pepsi made the ad in-house, rather than employ the services of an agency.
Others say the company was just too late, jumping on a bandwagon rather than trying to help it gain momentum.
Frankly, the Pepsi ad didn't seem to be saying anything. In fact, it was unclear what the demonstrators were protesting about. It seemed more like a party. You could tell that the watching policeman were dying to join in.
Maybe, to run ads like this you just have to know what you are doing. You need expertise, you need better understanding of your demographic and the causes they support.
We are in the era when data analysis counts above creativity in the marketing process. But this may have a been an example of knowledge and understanding and a certain sympathy to the public mood counting for more than the ability to read data.
Pepsi’s big mistake may have been to invite its public to join a conversation which it hadn't even joined itself.


I was planning to write how the Miami Dolphins are the big winner of free agency, not simply because of their smart player signings and the AFC East suddenly having a vacancy at the top. But also because their upside-down world of the last year is gone.
A win is a win again. A loss is a loss. Ding-dong, the surreal world of tanking — or not tanking — is dead, never to haunt the Dolphins’ doorstep again after the past few days of good roster building.
But I can’t write that. There’s a bigger winner in NFL free agency than even the Dolphins. The only question is who that winner is:
Bill Belichick or Tom Brady?
It’s one or the other. It’s Bill for dumping Tom or Tom for moving on from Bill. It’s Tom for getting better cast around him or Bill for ridding himself of an old quarterback.
It’s Bill vs. Tom now for master of the universe.
It’s not just this coming season in question. It’s all their yesterdays, too. Winston Churchill once said history would be kind to him and, when asked how he knew, answered because he would write it. Well, Belichick or Brady gets to write history coming up.
Who was more important? That’s on the table. In a way, it’s a silly question, because the big debate of the great coach or the great quarterback being more important can’t be answered here. That’s because it’s already answered.
You need both for sustained greatness. Why do you think every great coach in the Hall of Fame has a great quarterback there with him? And vice versa?
Think of it: Bill Walsh and Joe Montana. Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr. Jimmy Johnson and Troy Aikman. Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw. Don Shula and Bob Griese and Dan Marino. On and on. Now and forevermore. You need both to have a good run.
But there will be a winner this next season between Tom and Bill after their big, fat, crazy New England divorce.
Will Bill win? He went 11-5 with Matt Cassel in 2008 when Brady was injured. He went 3-1 with a Jimmy Garoppolo/Jacoby Brissett combo when Brady was suspended. So the thinking is he’ll roll out of bed with someone like second-year, fourth-round-pick Jarrett Stidham and go 10-6.
Belichick could have brought Brady back for one more run. But he wouldn’t have been true to his cold, iron-disciplined self of letting go of older players. Does he play Stidham? Bring in Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton? Can his football biosphere create another Brady or Garoppolo for his career stretch run?
Belichick, even at 67, has the luxury of time as a coach. There’s little doubt with 304 wins he’ll catch Shula’s 347 all-time wins record. But will he stumble to it or do it in the fashion of his past two decades?
For Brady, the timeline is different. At 43 in August, he has to win now. This year. Next year at the latest. If he goes 9-7 and 8-8 in Tampa Bay, it will only confirm Belichick was right to be rid of an aging superstar.
But Brady has a roster to win in Tampa. Great receivers. Good offensive line. Strong defense. Tampa Bay underachieved last year in good part because quarterback Jameis Winston had 17 turnovers in seven losses of 10 points of less. If Brady just protects the ball at his career standard, he’s in the playoffs. And more?
Miami Dolphins - The Fins Flash
The 2021 Super Bowl is in Tampa.
“I don’t know what my future holds,’’ Brady wrote on social media in leaving New England. “But it is time for me to open a new stage for my life and career.”
For years, Tom and Bill dominated the NFL. They didn’t just get those six Super Bowl titles. They scorched the earth around them — six Dolphins regimes were fired. But now each gets the chance they must have wondered about after success began piling up.
They cut the cord. They opted to scale the mountain alone. Across the AFC East, there was a sigh of relief that the Evil Empire was dead. But is it? Or is Belichick simply moving quickly on to the next, great stage of domination?
The entertainment world hasn’t had a partnership dissolve like this since John and Paul did from The Beatles. Come to think of it, they both won in their next act. But that’s music. This has a scoreboard.
Tom vs. Bill.
Asking who wins allows a Dolphins fan to enjoy this free-agent period even more.

I recently found some interesting photos I made many years ago in Sun Valley, Idaho on a trip where I worked closely with my friends and colleagues to print photos for a large annual event. We worked loooong hours and were exhausted by the end of the day, but since we'd traveled all the way from NY - we went out and took advantage of the landscape and made some really fun photographs.
I don't think back on the job and remember it fondly, but I do remember spending many hours with my good friends Aria and Betsy (and Vanessa on the phone) and will always hold that trip - and those women close to my heart. Thank you ladies for making the hard times bearable and good times...phenomenal! xo

Our bodies offer natural resources and bio-material unused for ethical reasons.
But how will this change in a future with less resources more sustainable mindsets?
No. 1 allows the average private household to make its own fertilizer from urine.
Users “harvest” urine with a special vessel, which is then drained into the machine,
where it is decomposed, chemically bound and air-dried for approximately 24 hours.
The outcome is an odorless white powder that provides enough fertilizer for several liters of water.
The final model was built in original materials – wood, glass and ceramics – using different digital and analog techniques.
Being an uncommon chemical procedure, it took a series of experiments with different additives, temperatures and
intervals – we constantly had a couple of glasses of urine on the outside window sill of our project space at university.
Needless to say, we were called the “pee team” and considered deranged.


Veterinarian Amber Burton’s phone kept ringing this weekend.
Donation notification after notification constantly flooded.
“A hugely talented individual and role model gone too soon,” wrote one donor to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue, which Burton founded and now directs.
“Dwayne was always the ray of sunshine whose (sic) smile could light up a room,” wrote another. “Tear. Oh!”
The messaging and financial support for the Northern Virginia Animal Rescue and Adoption Agency is ongoing, according to data shared by Burton with USA Today Sports. The inflow during this period was about 430% of the normal donation intake.
The intentions of the donors, through their tribute notes and symbolic donation amounts, are clear: They want to honor the life of NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Haskins died Saturday morning after being hit by a dump truck while crossing a Florida highway on foot. He was 24 years old. The 15th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft was working in Florida with Pittsburgh Steelers teammates who signed Haskins after Washington was released in January 2021.
During his NFL career, Haskins played 16 games, starting 13 for Washington, completing 60.1% of passes for 2,804 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He ran 40 times for 147 yards and a touchdown.
When news of the tragedy broke on Saturday, NFL fans on social media wondered: How can they honor Haskins’ life in his death? What positivity can they create from this astonishing reality? He turned to Google and then to social media platforms.
Not long ago, users on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit were encouraging donations to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR), the beneficiary Haskins had chosen to support in 2019 through the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats initiative. Her dogs “make my day brighter,” said Haskins, a then-rookie. “A lot of dogs need homes and being able to have a dog and a companion in your life will definitely bring some happiness to you.”

Remembrance:Dwayne Haskins Memorial Service, Vigilance to be held in New Jersey, Maryland
‘elder brother’:Dwayne Haskins was a mentor, inspiration to Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud
The team said Haskins designed blue-green cleats with the organization’s logo and a sketch of his 2-year-old Doberman, Roscoe, for the occasion.
WTAR protects high-risk animals from euthanasia, neglect, and abuse, primarily from overpopulated areas in Mississippi. Since its May 2015 inception, employees have rescued, treated and found adoption homes for more than 11,500 animals, including more than 9,000 dogs and puppies. The group partnered with Washington’s NFL team to provide puppy therapy in 2019, after Haskins and then-Washington defensive lineman Matt Ioannidis selected WTAR as their cleat beneficiaries. Washington safety Troy Epke continues to work with the organization, even adopting a dog rescued from them.
Still, this weekend’s influx of donations felt different. Haskins’ most recent team, the Pittsburgh Steelers—”I rooted for you as a starter”—the Baltimore Ravens—”It’s bigger than football”—and NFL fans donating from the philanthropically-leaning Buffalo Bills fan base, At least 30 of which were donated to following galvanization efforts, including the Bills Forum on Reddit.
Ohio State fans, for whom Haskins threw 54 touchdowns for nine interceptions in two seasons, pitched in as well.
“He may be remembered for his heroism both on and off the field,” wrote one donor, another thanking Haskins that “you can be the best you can be to your fans. RIP, you will be missed.” .
Burton and his colleagues applauded the donations, many of which feature multiples of their jersey numbers 7 and 3 in Ohio State, Washington and Pittsburgh. According to the organization’s funding structure, as of Tuesday afternoon, donations still to come could include 64 pet castrations and neuter procedures, 259 life-saving essential vaccines, or 649 pets’ worth of food.
$6,491.54 dwarfs the typical donation, which Burton estimates is $10–15 over the same period. One donor wrote that he hoped the money “could help the work that (Haskins) cared about in honor of his life.”
Funds will be there, Burton said.
“Rescue organizations can only work on a donation basis and we can only save as many animals as we have supporters for,” she said. “It matters a lot and speaks volumes to the person they are and how they are giving and caring and supporting their local community. When a Dwayne or Troy or any of these NFL players are involved , so it shows the depth of his character.
“It’s something we’ll never forget.”

Feasterville attorney announces candidacy for district judge seat
A third person has announced his candidacy for the district judge seat in Lower Southampton.
Robert M. DeBias, 64, a Feasterville attorney, recently announced that he is seeking the seat, according to a press release.
Cases in the Lower Southampton court are now being heard by Senior District Judge Philip J. Daly until someone is elected. That's because District Judge John Waltman has been suspended without pay since late last year after being charged by the U.S. Attorney's Office in a money laundering scheme along with his constable, Bernard Rafferty, and the Lower Southampton director of public safety, Robert Hoopes. Both Raffery and Hoopes lost their jobs after the indictment was handed down.
Two retired Lower Southampton police officers, Ray Weldie and Stephen Castle, also announced their intentions to run for the office. All three candidates are Republicans who plan to run on both party tickets in the May 16 Primary Election.
DeBias is a managing partner in the firm of Wood and Floge, Bensalem. He has been in general practice for 39 years, representing clients in a wide array of legal issues, according to the press release. His areas of practice include wills, estates, family law, real estate, zoning, business law and civil litigation.
He said he would like to enhance the professionalism and integrity of the DJ office.
"If elected, I will do everything in my power to rule with impartiality and fairness with respect to all those who come before me," he said. "I further greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Lower Southampton."
DeBias serves as the solicitor for both Hulmeville Borough Council and the Bensalem Township Code Appeals Board. He also is the vice chairman of the Lower Southampton Zoning Hearing Board and has been a member for 17 years.
He also has coached for the Bustleton Boys Club, Hulmeville Soccer Association, Assumption BVM Church Catholic Youth Organization and Lower Southampton Athletic Association.
Additionally, he was the secretary and soccer director for the Assumption BVM CYO adult board.
His educational background includes a bachelor of arts from St. Joseph's University in 1974, and a juris doctor degree from Temple University School of Law in 1977. DeBias was admitted to the commonwealth's bar in 1977.
He has lived in Lower Southampton for the past 31 years with his wife, Kathryn, and they have three adult children.

This game will be literally so huge in content it will be crazy. The possibilities from the Botw mecanics and engine are INSANE. Now put 6 more years into a game and like adjustments from what people didn't like in the first one and you have something incredible. I hope they put more overworld boss and more secrets to discover than just shrines. That's the main takeaway from the first one that i would like to change. But like wow, i'm really not ready for the sequel. It will be literally insane.
I hope it brings back more classic Zelda monsters and bosses, because I got sick of fighting different varieties of Ganon after a while.
They def will i think, seeing how well the Lynels integration was in the 3D games i'm sure they will bring more.

1930s Sweetheart Mercury Dime Pendant on 18k White Gold
Amazing Art Deco era silver Mercury dime “sweetheart” pendant mounted on 18k solid gold. The profile of Mercury was meticulously cut out from a coin and riveted through three black and white layers of what appear to be a wood-like material (possibly wood or maybe laminated Bakelite). The layers were carved into a heart shape with a beveled edge and the hidden rivet attaches them to a heavy 18k white gold base. Quite unusual to find such “ordinary” materials used alongside gold. Likely the only one of its kind, this very well crafted pendant measures 1-1/2” long by 1-1/4” wide. It hangs from a simple, sturdy 18-3/4” silver chain.

THE world's most advanced speed camera - so accurate it can catch you using a mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt from 600m away - is being assessed for Victoria.
Victoria Police yesterday told the Herald Sun it was "watching with interest" the beefed-up laser camera's introduction in Britain.
The $18,500 Concept II laser speed camera is being used by police in Dorset as the latest tool in their zero-tolerance approach to driving offences.
As well as checking speed, the device's camera resolution is reported to be sharp enough to pick out an unbuckled belt at a range of up to 600m.
The camera is able to record both a still image and video evidence to DVD.
Critics say the camera is just another way to boost revenue.
But a spokeswoman said Victoria Police was monitoring the development of the super camera.
"We have not tested or seen this technology in Victoria, but we watch the overseas testing with interest," she said.
Local police and road authorities have been battling for years to discourage people from driving while talking on phones.
Last month alone police detected 5734 mobile-phone driving offences and 3584 seatbelt breaches in their 52-day holiday road blitz.
Road safety campaigners have called for the new technology to be tested in Victoria.
Working Against Culpable Driving co-founder Penny Martin, whose son Josh was killed by a hoon, said the camera could help cut the road toll.
"If there's already technology around the world doing this sort of thing there's no reason we shouldn't trial it," she said.
"People might say it's all about raising money, but these things aren't in place to inconvenience drivers; they're there to stop people dying."
TAC road safety manager Samantha Cockfield said it would also monitor the effect on road trauma after it was introduced by Dorset Police.
"We know from evaluations of previous automated enforcement technologies how successful they can be in reducing the number and severity of injury crashes," she said.
The two cameras being used in Dorset in the south of England are not yet recording video evidence, but have already caught some bizarre behaviour on stills.
Project manager Brian Austin said one driver was caught playing a harmonica using both hands.
"He thought he was driving quite successfully while playing the instrument," he said.
What the Concept II laser speed camera can do
* Detects speed, seatbelt and mobile phone offences
* Sharp enough to detect an unbuckled seatbelt at 600m
* Can store up to 4000 incidents on video

Madden NFL 18 Review
Stories in sports games. We’ve been talking about the idea for over a decade and it’s just in the last couple of years we’ve seen the two big sports developers (EA & 2K) start investing in it. Last year both FIFA (from EA) and NBA 2K (from 2K Sports) made stories a huge pillar in their annual releases. This year, EA Sports is following up the success of Alex Hunter in “The Journey” with Longshot, a new story mode in Madden NFL 18.
Bottom line, FIFA 16 is not a huge step forward for the franchise. The play on the pitch continues to get better and better and the refinements this year are all welcome. I especially was impressed with the overall flow of a match. It continues to get closer to feeling like the real thing while still being one of the most enjoyable sports games on the market.
NCAA Football 14
NCAA Football 14 feels like a great culmination of all the NCAA Football titles this generation. The new engine fixes a lot of the weird problems that occurred in the past few games and allows the running game to take center stage. I for one really enjoyed my time with NCAA Football 14 and find it to be a great swan song for this franchise on this generation of consoles. It makes me even more excited for what's to come from this franchise next year with new hardware behind it.
NCAA Football 12
There is no doubt that NCAA Football 12 is a great game of college football. What it isn’t however is a huge upgrade from last years game. If your looking for a new feel to the Road to Glory mode then this is definitely one you want to check out. Otherwise there isn’t enough new here to make this a must purchase.
Madden NFL 11
This year I think the storyboard ideas for this year’s game sounded great and some of them turned out to be quite solid additions. However I really feel like as great of a game of football Madden NFL 11 is, they missed some of the core competencies that has kept this a great game of football for all these years. Madden NFL 11 is a great game of football, the best of the series so far, but its not without a few minor draw backs.
NCAA Football 08
With all the things said and done, there is however still a lot of room for the franchise to grow. It has done a great job of moving in the right direction in this game, but you still feel it could have been much more in the future. However if you’re a fan of the series and need your college football fix for the year, this game is a great option for you.
All-Pro Football 2K8
There is no denying that even with its flaws, All-Pro Football 2K8 is a good solid football title that has some really interesting concepts. For the first time without the NFL license, there were some good ideas but I do feel there is a long way to go for the franchise to be able to truly compete once again. However if you have been counting the days since the last NFL 2K title then this is still a game worth checking out.
NCAA Football 06
NCAA Football 06 is a great game, and since it is the only college football game, it is definitely a great purchase for you. The game plays much better then last year’s game, and overall have a great look and feel to it that most people are just going to love. If you have the 2005 version and are wondering whether to upgrade, I would say the gameplay improvements are enough to warrant such an upgrade.
World Tour Soccer 2005
Let’s hope that 989 Sports does some strong developing for the 2006 version so we can see this title compete for the top soccer titles. If you’re wondering if you should purchase World Tour Soccer 2005 I would have to give you the thumbs down and say that right now there are just better soccer titles out there to choose from.

- American opportunity tax credit of up to $2,500 for qualifying higher education expenses for 2009 and 2010.
The IRS is so concerned that taxpayers will not utilize these tax breaks that it has also posted a video to YouTube and an iTunes podcast with information about these tax breaks.


Simon Kimutai to Sakaja: Green Park Terminus won’t work!
Matatu Owners Association (MOA) chairman Simon Kimutai has criticised the move by the Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja to relocate the dropping point of long-distance matatus from CBD to the new Green Park Terminus.
Mr Kimutai said that enough consultation with the owners of the matatus was not done before the move, which he says will only complicate the operation of the owners.
The chairman alleged that the governor used force to push some of the Saccos to the Green Park Terminus.
He said that the governor is using the old ways of doing things, waking up one morning and making certain decisions without thinking about the negative effects that it will have on stakeholders.
“Call those who you purported you want to move from one area to the other, talk with them. Let them give you the best method. But if you use askaris to remove vehicles from a certain area to a ascertain area, you can’t succeed. Talk to real owners, not brokers and cartels who have already placed themselves everywhere in Nairobi,” Mr Kimutai said.
The chairman has advised the governor to end the stalemate by engaging the owners and to avoid division where some few vehicles are being moved to Green Park while some which do apply the same routes are allowed to drop and pick up passengers from the CBD.
His remarks come a day after the governor presided over the official opening of the Green Park Terminus as a dropping point for the long-distance matatus.
Sakaja said that the county government will expand the facility to ensure that offices of different matatu Saccos are in place.
During the meeting, the chairman suggested that the issuance of driving licenses should be removed from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to reduce cases where licenses are being issued to drivers who are not qualified.
“Nation Youth Service is known for producing the best drivers in the country, why can’t this function be given to them and then they see who can drive what kind of a vehicle, be tested well and be issued with the license as opposed to using the age system.”
At the same time, the chairman urged the police and NTSA to crack down on some of the personal or saloon cars being used to carry passengers.

The association CEO Ms Patricia Mutheu said that there is a need to protect the matatu industry since it provides hundreds of job opportunities o the growing population.
“Kenya’s matatu sector has enormous potential to provide a solution to the county’s unemployment crisis. A matatu…it is critical for the government and other stakeholders to collaborate with MOA to develop solutions for the public road transport sector to boost tax income generated by the sector,” Ms Mutheu said.
She also echoed the chairman’s remarks on safety, saying that the association will ensure that passengers arrive at their destinations safely.

I have been communicating with Louie on this issue for a while and have a reply back to his last question which is in quotes. "There's your problem the dark blue wire's shouldn't have power it should be the ground control from the pcm. Here's what I would do unplug all the pcm connector's and see if you still have power to the dark blue wire's to the injector's. If you lose the power then plug the connector's back into the pcm and see if the power come's back. Let me know what you find."
Here is what we found: With key on and PCM plugged in both wires had power.
Disconnect the PCM and power is lost on the control side of the injector. Still have power on the battery side.
We are wondering if there is a ground fault issue or voltage surge causing PCM damage. Could I really have three faulty PCM's?
Sunday, November 14th, 2010 AT 3:27 AM
Sorry I haven't responded back to you I haven't gotten email alert's to let me know if you have responded back or been able to even go thru my posted answer's to see if you did since the launch of the new site there still working all the bug's out. But here's what I would to do to narrow it down to the pcm if the power goes away when you unplug it from the pcm on the ground control side of the injector connector. With everything plugged in unplug the injector fuse and unplug the injectors see if you still have power to the ground control from the pcm. If you do then unplug the pcm connectors and use a ohms meter and see if the ground control and power wire's are connected.

Tonight's game on Monday Night Football features a divisional battle between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-3) and the Carolina Panthers (1-3). Both teams are struggling and a loss for either one would be a significant blow for their playoff chances -- especially with the undefeated Atlanta Falcons rolling on through. The Panthers have lost only one game for all of 2015 but they are on the cusp of crashing down in 2016. With Cam Newton ruled out with a concussion, the Panthers have to be a little concerned. For tonight however, Vegas odds have them as the favorites. The Buccaneers on the other hand were obviously banking on progression from Jameis Winston but he is going through a little bit of a sophomore slump so far with eight touchdowns ... and eight interceptions.
Tonight might be a very important game for fantasy players. Players such as Mike Evans, Greg Olsen and Kelvin Benjamin should earn players a fair amount of points.
When: 8:30 p.m. EST
Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte

Animal husbandry is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock. Animal husbandry deals with the care and breeding of livestock like buffaloes, cows, pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, camel goat etc. It includes poultry farming and fisheries. Fisheries include rearing, catching, selling, etc., of fish, molluscs (shell-fish) and crustaceans (prawns, crabs, etc.) More than 70% of livestock population of the livestock live in India and China.
Management of Farm and Farm Animals:
A professional approach of farm management have increased the food production many folds. Some of the management procedures applied in various livestock are as follows:
Dairy farm management:
Dairying is the management of animals for its milk and its product for human consumption. In dairy farm management, we deal with processes and systems that increase yield and improve quality of milk.
Selection of good breeds having high yielding potential, combined with resistance to diseases is very important.
Cattle have to be housed well, should have proper water and be maintained disease free.
The feeding of cattle should be carried out in a scientific manner (quality and quantity of fodder).
Strict cleanliness and hygiene are importance while milking, storage and transport of the milk and its products.
Poultry Farm Management:
Poultry is the class of domesticated birds used for food or for their eggs. It mainly includes chicken and ducks and with turkey and geese.
Important components of poultry farm management includes:
- Selection of disease free and suitable breeds.
- Proper and safe farm condition.
- Proper feed and water.
- Hygiene and health care.
It aims at increasing yields of animals and improving the desirable qualities of the product. A breed is a group of animals related by descent and similar in most of characters like general appearance, features, size, configuration etc. There are two kinds of breeding.
Inbreeding: A process that occurs between the members of closely related individuals within the same breed for about 4 to 6 generations is known as inbreeding. Here, first of all, males and females with superior traits are identified and then mated in pairs. Generally, it is the cow that carried the superior desired trait-like increased milk production and the superior male is the bull that can give superior progeny. Inbreeding results in increased homozygosity. This is harmful as it can lead to the expression of harmful recessive alleles. Superior traits can be eliminated. Continued inbreeding leads to inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression is the loss of desired traits due to successive inbreeding. This affects both productivity and fertility.
Outbreeding: Outbreeding is the breeding among unrelated animals. For outbreeding such animals are chosen who do not have common ancestors for 5 to 6 generations.
Cross-breeding: Cross-breeding involves breeding between a superior male of one breed and a superior female of another breed. The desired trait can be obtained through cross-breeding. The animals or the offspring obtained is known as a hybrid. From both the parents, the animal produce has both the desired trait.
Interspecific hybridisation: Interspecific hybridisation male and female animals of two different species are mated. The progeny may combine desirable features of both and parents. Ex- mule.
Artificial Insemination: Controlled breeding experiments are carried out using artificial insemination. The semen is collected from the male that is chosen as a parent and injected into the reproductive tract of the selected female by the breeder.
Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET):
Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology (MOET) is used to increase the success rate of artificial insemination. In this method, a cow is administrated hormones (FSH) to induce follicular maturation and super ovulation, instead of one egg; they produce 6-8 eggs. The fertilised eggs 8-32 cells stages, are recovered non-surgically and transferred to surrogate mothers. The genetic mother is available for another round of super ovulation.
Bee-keeping or apiculture is the maintenance of hives of honeybees for the production of honey. Honey is a food of high nutritive value and also finds use in the indigenous systems of medicine. It also produces beeswax.
The most common species of honey bee is Apis indica.
The following points are important for successful bee-keeping:
- Knowledge of the nature and habits of bees.
- Selection of suitable location for keeping the beehives.
- Catching and hiving of swarms.
- Management of beehives during different seasons.
- Handling and collection of honey and of beeswax.
- Keeping beehives in crop fields during flowering period increases pollination efficiency and improves the yield.
Fishery is an industry devoted to catching, processing or selling of fish, shellfish or other aquatic animals.
Fresh water fishes which are very common include catla, rohu and common carp. Common marine fishes are Hilsa, sardines, mackerel and pomfrets.
Different techniques have been applied to increase production like aquaculture and pisciculture. Blue Revolution is implemented to increase fish production.
Pisciculture: It is a process of growing fish and selling it or using its products for domestic or commercial use. Fish can be grown both in salt water and fresh water.
Aquaculture: It is a process of growing any aquatic animals and selling them for commercial purposes. It involves feeding, harvesting and many other processes. The most popular one’s grown under controlled environments are shrimps, crab, fish, lobster, and few others.
Plant Breeding is the purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired plant species in order to create desired plant types that are better suited for cultivation, give better yields and are disease resistant.
Classical plant breeding involves crossing or hybridization of pure lines, followed by artificial selection to produce plants with desirable traits of higher yield, nutrition and resistance to disease.
The main steps in plant breeding are:
- Collection of variability is the collection and preservation of all the different wild verities, species and relatives of the cultivated species. The entire collection having all the diverse alleles for all genes in a given crop is called germplasm collection.
- Evaluation and selection of parents is the identification of plants with desirable combination of characters. The selected plants are multiplied and used in the process of hybridization.
- Cross hybridization among the selected parents to obtained desired crop characters for example high protein quality of one parent may need to be combined with disease resistance from another parent. This is possible by cross hybridizing the two parents to produce hybrids that genetically combine the desired characters in one plant.
- Selection and testing of superior recombinants -The selection process is crucial to the success of the breeding objective and requires careful scientific evaluation of the progeny. This step yields plants that are superior to both of the parents.
- Testing, releasing and commercialization of new cultivars -The newly selected lines are evaluated for their yield and other agronomic traits of quality, disease resistance, etc.
Wheat and Rice:
- Production of wheat and rice increased tremendously between 1960-2000 due to introduction of semi-dwarf varieties of rice and wheat.
- In 1963, several varieties such as Sonalika and Kalyan Sona, which were high yielding and disease resistant were introduced all over the wheat growing field of India.
- Semi-dwarf rice varieties were derived from IR-8, and Taichung Native-1 were introduced in 1966. Later better-yielding semi-dwarf varieties Jaya and Ratna were developed in India.
- Saccharum barberi and Saccharum officinarum were crossed to get the desirable qualities of high yield, thick stems, high sugar and ability to grow in the sugar cane areas of north India.
- Millets: Hybrid maize, jowar and bajraare developed in India. These varieties are high yielding and resistant to water stress.
Plant Breeding for Disease Resistance:
Several fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens affect the yield and quality of plant products. To minimise this loss disease resistant varieties were developed. Breeding is carried out by conventional method or by mutation breeding.
Steps for breeding disease resistant plants:
- Selection of genome with disease resistant traits.
- Mating of the selected parents.
- Selection of superior hybrids.
- Testing of the hybrid for superior variety.
- Release of the new variety.
Mutation is the process by which genetic variations are created through changes in the base sequence within genes resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental types. It is done by using mutants like chemicals or radiations. This process is called mutation breeding. e.g. Mung bean resistance to yellow mosaic virus and powdery mildew were induced by mutation.
Resistance to yellow mosaic virus in bhindi (Abelmoschus esculentus) was transferred from a wild species and resulted in a new variety of A. esculentus called Parbhani kranti.
Plant breeding for Developing Resistance to Insect Pests:
Crop plant and crop products are destructed by insects and pests on large scale. To prevent this loss new varieties resistance to them are developed.
Breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins and minerals, or higher protein and healthier fats. Breeding for improved nutritional qualities have following objectives of improving.
- Protein content and quality.
- Oil content and quality.
- Vitamin content.
- Micronutrient and mineral content.
Atlas 66, having a high protein content, has been used as a donor for improving cultivated wheat.
IARI, New Delhi have released many verities of vegetables crops rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin A enriched carrot, spinach and pumpkin and vitamin C enriched bitter guard, bathua, mustard ,iron and calcium enriched spinach and bathua; and protein enriched beans – broad, lablab, French and garden peas.
Single Cell Protein (SCP):
Alternate source of protein for animal and human nutrition. Microbes are grown on industrial scale as a source of good protein.
Microbes like spirulina can be grown easily on materials like wastewater from potato processing plants having starch, molasses, animal manure and even sewage to produce large quantities and can serve as food rich in protein, minerals, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins.
Methylophilus methylotrophus has high rate of biomass production and growth, it can be expected to produce 25 tonnes of protein by 250 g of microorganism.
The capacity to generate whole plants form any cell/explant is called totipotency. Thousands of plants can be produced from explants in short interval of time using suitable nutrient medium, aseptic condition and use of phytohormones. This method of producing thousands of plant is called micropropagation. Each of these plants will be genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown, i.e., they are soma clones. Many important food plants like tomato, banana, apple.
The recovery of healthy plants from diseased plants can be done by meristem culture. Although the plant is infected with a virus, the meristem (apical and axillary) is free of virus. Hence, one can remove the meristem and grow it in vitro to obtain virus-free plants.
Isolation of single cells from their plants and after digesting their cell wall fusing the cytoplasm’s of two different varieties is called somatic hybridisation and these hybrids are called somatic hybrids.
