Usain Bolt: The Lightning Bolt Leaves a Legacy

Usain Bolt, the retired Jamaican sprinter, isn't just a legend in track and field, he's widely considered the greatest sprinter of all time. Here's a glimpse into his phenomenal career:

Early Life and Transition to Track:

Dominating Rise to Stardom:

  • Established himself as a prodigy by winning the 2002 World Junior Championships.
  • By 2007, he became the fastest man alive, setting his first 100m world record.
  • The 2008 Beijing Olympics marked his global explosion. He shattered world records in the 100m, 200m, and as part of the 4x100m relay team – all in record times.

Solidifying the Legend:

Gemini Race Preview

"The 2024 Olympics are coming up in Paris, and the men's 100m is shaping up to be an exciting race! Here are some of the top contenders:

  • Fred Kerley (USA): The reigning World Champion (as of August 2023) and a sub-10 second runner.
  • Marcell Jacobs (Italy): The surprise winner of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, though injuries have hampered him recently.
  • Noah Lyles (USA): A talented young sprinter known for his showmanship, and the reigning World Champion in the 200m.
  • Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya): A rising star who pushed Lyles in the 2023 World Championships.
  • Christian Coleman (USA): A former World Champion with a personal best that puts him in contention, but has faced doping suspensions.
  • Zharnel Hughes (Great Britain): A favourite of Usain Bolt, known for his strong starts.

These are just a few of the athletes to watch. It's always possible for someone unexpected to challenge for the gold medal too! Keep an eye out for the qualifying races and other major competitions leading up to Paris 2024.

For a fun guess, based purely on randomness and with no insider knowledge, I'll say the winner will be... Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya).

Remember, this is just a random pick! The beauty of the 100m is that any of these top contenders could pull off a win on the day."

AWS training cloud academy free course

One of the things I like about this course are the instructors are really clear but also that it provides free labs that allow you to actually sign into AWS and perform some actions to actually create and do things without worrying that you are going to incur a cost.  Today I complete one of the hands on labs.  This was to create a lambda function, in this case it was a very basic python script that was searching a website for a keyword. I then placed this into a schedule and used cloudwatch to create a dashboard that monitored the running of this function. Overall it was a very simple use case but it was also a very simple process to setup.  I don't have much to add to this other than it is well worth signing up to cloud academy for the free training if nothing else, I am tempted, once i have done some more training, to give the paid for option a go to get the full sandboxes.

Data Cleansing View in Snowflake

For part of one of my free ETLs I am using Zapps to transfer e-mails from Google Sheets and then Keboola to transfer the sheets into my Snowflake database. I am familiar with string searches and cleansing in Oracle and using python but have not had the chance to do this in Snowflake. I wanted to give it a go as a proof of concept if nothing else. There were some difference in functions between Oracle and Snowflake, no INSTR and using POSITION instead and some difference in working with dates / timestamps but overall it was very similar.  The code below is what I ended up using:  I think want to use this to create some overview graphics to allow me to track the success or failure of my ETLs. Assuming the aspects of Retool remain free you can see how much ETL is going on this link .  In case things aren't working, here is a table of the output I am producing.
