![]() Producer turned screenwriter David Hudgens and Hamm leave all subtlety out of their depictions of shrill, fanatical activists (In Nashville?), and undercut their take on this issue in the process. But a quick online search reveals how divisive this issue is, with the countries where capuchin live in the wild banning their capture and being kept as pets, and other cities, states and countries banning primate pets for health, safety and moral reasons.Ī lot of diseases make the leap from primate to primate from monkeys and apes.Īny movie that takes a stand on this issue as a major subtext is wading into a no-win scenario. “The Journey” was good, “Killing Bono” wasn’t terrible even if “Godsend” was. I’ve liked other films by Northern Irish director Nick Hamm. That supermarket visit turns everything ugly and public as an animal rights activist ( Tara Summers) rallies her troops against the guy stuck in a wheelchair for life. Nate and Gigi are already social media darlings and the subject of debate. Years of training later, she’s here to be a companion, be a responsibility, be a friend and fetch the paintbrush for Nate’s paint-with-his-teeth art or grab something off the supermarket shelf.Īnd that’s where the new problems begin. And “help” arrives in the form of a service animal, skittish and very smart Gigi, a capuchin monkey whom we saw rescued from a neglectful traveling petting zoo near Joshua Tree, California in the film’s opening scene. “Hope” comes from rehab and physical therapy. “I don’t want to be more of a burden to everyone than I already am,” he says later. ![]() Nate, weepy and wailing in pain in a wheelchair, takes a shot at ending things by the means at hand - the family koi pond. College, “a normal life,” it’s all off the table, now. His mother (Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden), father ( Jim Belushi), sisters ( Josephine Langford, Hannah Riley) and grandma ( Diane Ladd) are distraught. A virus in the water has him sick and feverish within hours, diagnosed with encephalitis leading to quadriplegia within days. He didn’t hit the water wrong, or hit rocks once he went in. “Gigi & Nate” is what happens when you round up a good cast and a pretty polished director for a screenplay that turns away from its strengths, takes a swing at “important,” and misses.īritish actor Charlie Rowe of the recent “Vanity Fair” adaptation for TV stars as Nate, a Nashville teen who takes that one fateful dive into a sink hole pond near the family’s N.C. It begins with a surprisingly touching tragedy, morphs into a cute story of hope and then hurls itself headlong into a nasty take on one corner of the animal rights debate. ![]()

![]() ![]() When you are querying your partition table, and you're specifying the partition key in the query, the Postgres planner is able to avoid a lot of extra work by determining that certain partitions don't need to be looked at. ![]() Partition pruning is a part of the Postgres planner. Partition pruning is really what this optimization, this cost saving, built on. The other thing I want to mention here is partition pruning. You're going to have a hard time finding such a good improvement on your own database, but certainly if you have a really large table that doesn't use partitioning yet, then you could get such benefits. That's a good amount of money.Īfter they've applied these optimizations: they've saved about $12,000, bringing the I/O charges to $5,600. Now, this is I think the most impressive number here:īefore they applied partitioning to this workload: they had $17,000 of I/O charges. Now, after they've done this upgrade here, they can actually see pretty noticeable performance improvements. In order to upgrade their existing table to use partitioning, they create a new partitioned table and they're attaching the existing table as a partition child into the partitioned table. When you're partitioning tables in Postgres you're always going to make a decision around what do you want to partition by and which partition method you want to use. Here, they use range partitioning and they partition on the created_at column. Clearly such a large table without partitioning is going to cause a couple of problems in Postgres anyway, with vacuum and such, but here they're just focused on the query performance and the I/O costs around that. They then walk through how you could partition such a workload. Improving Postgres query performance and reducing I/O costs with partition pruning It has a cyclical pattern, so each day during business hours it's going to be more busy, at night it's going to be less busy. ![]() This load simulator simulates about a thousand writes per second, inserts and updates, and it also simulates about 10,000 reads per second. They also described a load simulator that they created. You can read this article on the AWS docs on Managing PostgreSQL partitions with the pg_partman extension. But pg_partman is one of the ways that you can make it easier to create new partitions or expire old partitions. They use pg_partman to handle partitioning for them - you don't have to use pg_partman - you can just use regular SQL statements to manage partitions in Postgres. Pretty large database, and they ingest about 46 gigabytes per day. The amount of data they're looking at in their blog post is about 33 terabytes of data. If you're doing all sequential scans or you're doing a lot of expensive index scans that can actually cost you real money pretty quickly on Aurora. That means it can actually be pretty expensive if your use of the database is ineffective. You may not be familiar, but Aurora charges you extra for I/O operations. ![]() In this blog post by two engineers from the AWS team (Sami Imseih and Yahav Biran), they describe how they've used partition pruning to reduce read I/O costs on Aurora.

![]() Make sure the Ecolink Contact is sheltered on the underside of the mailbox to ensure it does not get damaged from rain. The reason for this is the Z-Wave signal may not be able to penetrate the mailbox shell if installed inside. If you have a metal mailbox, we recommend you install the Ecolink Contact Sensor below the mailbox on its exterior and wire in a Reed Switch inside the mailbox to trigger the Z-Wave message. While primarily designed for doors and windows, the Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Contact can be used for triggering alerts when your mailbox is opened.Ī Z-Wave Smart Hub is required for this to work, along with a Z-Wave device to be in range, as part of a mesh network.

There are several applications in which to use a Ultra Sound Bouncers whether it be with a live bait or an artificial lure. The Ultra Sound Bouncers also come in several colors to select to match water clarity and fish preference. ![]() Since the weight is made from Ultra Steel, it is harder than lead and actually produces fish-attracting noise when it hits rocks or other hard pieces of structure. The exclusive “R” snap swivel lets me easily switch bottom bouncer weight sizes and leader line without retying. There are several other unique features Bullet Weights offers with the Ultra Sound Bouncer. However, I have discovered the Ultra Sound Bouncer from Bullet Weights that has a uniquely designed swing arm that prevents line twisting. However, one problem I have experienced with bottom bouncers is, that especially in current or when trolling, the weight will tumble and twist the line. But with bottom bouncers the weight is positioned up higher on an L-shaped wire so that the wire hits the bottom preventing snags and breakoffs, The bait meanwhile is positioned just off the bottom in the walleye strike zone. ![]() Many of us know if you put a sinker on the bottom of a lake with rocky conditions you will end up retying your offering many times during a normal day of fishing. Bottom bouncers allow fishermen to cover many different fishing conditions. Along the way we have made some strides in sinker styles but one of the biggest strides made was when the bottom bouncer sinker was introduced. For many years fisherman have been using sinkers to get baits to the bottom of their favorite lakes and rivers in pursuit of fish. ![]() |
