Alum: The campus of KHS is absolutely phenomenal. Especially the quality of atheltic fields, gyms, and architecture design being fitting for all students. The teachers and faculty are very considerate of the success for each individual student when I attended until graduation of 2016. Kirkwood implements an outstanding amount of technology and supplies students with iPads (now laptops) being distributed for academics. They really impacted me with school spirit and supplied many different options for courses that fit a vast amount of interests. I am proud to say I attended 4 years at this high school and can call myself a Pioneer!
Senior: CBC has a close knit brotherhood that really bonds us students as a whole. We support one another through sports and all the different academic programs that CBC offers. The teachers at CBC really care about making sure that each student that graduates from CBC is able to get into the college that they choose to go to. There are so many opportunities for the parents to get involved and volunteer to support the school and their children's high school success!
Junior: Incarnate Word Academy is an amazing school with opportunities you can't get at very many other places. The modular schedule makes IWA unique, and makes students even more prepared for college because it teaches us how to manage our time. The teachers truly care about our success and well-being, the food is amazing, and IWA is known for excellence in athletics as well as academics. In addition to that, there is a family atmosphere in the school and a level of tradition that you just won't find anywhere else. IWA has truly become my home away from home and I absolutely love it there!
Senior: I have loved going to St. Joe. I have been able to be involved in so many various activities including sports, art, leadership and more. The teachers are amazing and they are constantly looking to improve academics, facilities, etc. One of the newest addition, the college counseling center has helped me tremedicouly with my college choice, prep, etc. Also, the community is very strong and I would not change my high school experience for anything. I have been able to grow, learn and change as a person in the best way possible because of the support I have received from St. Joe.
Senior: Rockhurst is a high school unlike no other. The teachers are caring and will actually teach you. The community is absolutely the best thing as every one is there for each other. Plus, our sports are quite good! There are also many opportunities for electives that students can take. One of the downfalls though is that their history program definitely needs a lot of work and most of the teachers partake in some kind of sport, however that does not diminish their teaching skills. Overall Rockhurst is a good place to be.
Alum: Amazing school! The sisterhood is real and I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. The teachers are fantastic and really do what they can to see each girl succeed. The only aspect that needs a little tweaking is the diversity aspect, it would be great to begin to see a wider variety of cultures present on campus.
Senior: I moved from Pennsylvania to Missouri and started high school at Francis Howell High School and I absolutely love it. Howell makes anyone feel welcomed and right at home; the teachers are very helpful and I've learned a vast amount of knowledge from them. I am now a senior and I know my major based on the education I have recieved here; I am also very excited for college and would say that my high school has helped me reach this point of readiness. I highly reccomend going to this school, it's great!
Senior: I've really liked spending the last 4 years at LSW! I think the teachers are great, and the building is really nice. I also like the counseling center resources like college prep help and graduation requirement meetings, but I wish I would've known about them sooner. There is tons of school spirit, which makes for a fun environment. The student body numbers are getting too high, so the hallways are crowded, and there are classes in mobiles which are inconvenient. There is also a lot of favoritism as far as which sports and/or people get recognition for achievements. Overall, West is a great school, and I feel prepared for college after going there.
Sophomore: Staley high school is overall a wonderful school. The teachers and counselors are willing to help push you to finding college opportunities and to help with your current struggles as a high school student. There are many ways to get involved at Staley high school, including a variety of sports, clubs, organizations, and many fun activities located in the library. The staff and administration are always on watch to make sure us students are safe, that's one of the most important things. Other than that they focus on making us successful and achieving our goals. Grit is what they say. They encourage us to have grit so our futures can be bright. The one thing I would change at Staley is how we spend our budget, there are multiple televisions in he cafeteria that we don't use, we should find a better more efficient way to spend those funds. But besides that Staley is a great school. Even the students are supportive of one another, we are one Staley nation who stick together.
Senior: Vianney is a great place to learn and make friends. Everyone there is very friendly, and the students there all form a brotherly bond. The mission of Saint John Vianney High School is to create men of character and accomplishment. The school definitely does that.
Some things I would change though is the way we do announcements. They take up way to much time and no one really listens. The lunch is also pretty expensive. There are also not any vending machines. It seems like all our spirit weeks have the same themes and dress downs, too.
Alum: I am an alumni of Rockwood Summit High School. Rockwood Summit offered one of the top educations in Missouri. They are somewhat diverse, but can use some more minorities. They also can use a program to help minorities seek out HBCUs. This would have been helpful when I went there. The food was pretty good. The atmosphere was great. The community was allowed to use the track there which I thought was awesome! I hope that they still do senior slam. It was one of my best experiences, next to Prom and of course graduation. Overall, I would recommend parents, especially minorities, send there kids to Rockwood Summit High School.
Junior: Fatima High School is a wonderful experience and one of the top schools around. Fatima is a fairly small high school, creating more of a one on one bond with staff and students. At Fatima not a day will go by where you walk through the halls and do not know someone. Everyone knows everyone and at Fatima no one is a stranger. Most assume that since we are a small school, with roughly under 100 kids per high school class, we are not strong athletically. But not only do the smaller classes help Fatima to be academically stronger than most schools, we also excel in sports. Not a season goes by where a team does not make it to state. I am beyond thankful that my parents chose Fatima High for me because not a day goes by that I am not thankful for learning at Fatima High.
Parent: We have been at MICDS for 6 years and have found that the vast majority of both the teachers in Middle and Upper Schools have been very invested in my children. They make themselves accessible to help when it is needed. Members of school Administration are easy to talk to, accessible and very child centered. The breadth of clubs, organizations and experiences that are available to participate in at MICDS are like no other! The new STEM building, stadium, field and Aquatic Center make our high school campus facilities top of the line!
Parent: Our youngest of three is currently a junior, and following in the footsteps of his older sisters at Blue Springs High School. We are more than pleased with the attention and interaction shown towards students on an individual, as well as classroom level. Diversity is taught and experienced without being made to feel uncomfortable. The staff and faculty are world-class and down-to-earth, at the same time. Comradery and teamwork seems to be the secret to the success of their athletic programs, and their Nationally recognized Marching Band. Blue Springs High School has proven to be the best-possible choice to prepare our children to successfully meet challenges head-on with confidence and integrity.
If your son is into sports- I'd give careful consideration. Football is mediocre, wrestling program is top notch, basketball for boys mediocre, volleyball for boys average- Baseball pathetic. The Varsity team rarely practices and the head coach is awful! All the talent in the World and he simply doesn't care. They play about 2/3rds the games of most any other school or less. If Lafayette hired a head Coach that cared at all - I would give 5 stars. Really sad- if Baseball is important to your son, evaluate your options.
Senior: Cor Jesu is overall a great place, and I do consider it my home away from home. I treasure the years I spent there and the people I was able to meet along the way. Diversity (racial/socioeconomic/LGBTQ) isn't great - there are marginalized groups at CJ, but we do group together to defend ourselves from ignorance. Safety is good overall (although Gravois Road is a death-trap). The teachers are great, but the administration leaves something to be desired. It sometimes felt more like a business than a school. Nevertheless, I do love everyone at Cor Jesu, and spent 4 incredible years there. Charger Nation!
Senior: Rock Bridge HS is a great school with lots of opportunities. The teachers and clubs are the highlights of the school. There are hundreds of clubs, so everyone truly has something for them. The teachers are supportive, encouraging, and care about you and your success. I always feel safe at school, and the school does all it can to keep its students safe and prepared. There are a lot of opportunities for clubs, trips, and college preparation!
Alum: My experience at Hazelwood Central High School was amazing. The teachers was really dedicated to the students education. The principals continuously made it their business to see what's going on with the students, and not just hide in their office. Hazelwood Central Staff definitely make sure that their student are college ready as well. Which I greatly appreciated them for!
Sophomore: The education is great and the teachers are amazing because they really care about the students; They want to see us succeed. Not only are the teachers great but the on-campus facilities are awesome, there's a place for everybody t do the things they love to the best of their ability. Almost all of the people I know here are competitive and really make me challenge myself to be like them in character. I feel very comfortable inside the Chaminade community and, in short, I wouldn't want to have gotten my high school education anywhere else.
Senior: I enjoy the family environment of the school. If someone is struggling, any staff member is willing to sit down and work with them to find out the best solution. The academics are rigorous, without being too much for a high school student. Student's are able to hold jobs while taking AP classes if they can manage their time effectively. Sports are a large part of the Eureka High School community. School spirit is huge and the student section, lovingly named the Catpound, does not disappoint. You will never see the Catpound half full. It is always packed with students supporting their football, basketball, wrestling and many more teams. My overall experience at Eureka was absolutely amazing and I would go back there in a heartbeat.
Alum: I attended Helias High School from 2013 through 2017 and I greatly enjoyed my experience there. Helias faculty and staff really prepares you for college level classes and helps you manage time so you can easily adapt to a busy college schedule. Helias also offers a variety of sports and clubs, so every student can find an extracurricular activity that fits their interests. While Helias challenged me academically, they also hosted a variety of fun events for students. Ranging from Homecoming Week, multiple dances a year, plenty of public speakers and presentations, and many others. Helias to me was a good blend of academics and fun, that I would recommend to any student.
Junior: DeSmet is a very open and innovative school. The entire school, faculty as well as students are accepting of all races, religions, and sexual orientation. DeSmet's mission statement is: "For the Greater Glory of God." That means that we are always putting others before ourselves. Later start times, and longer classes create a less stressful learning environment. With later start times and longer classes, school days are less stressful. Longer class time allows for a more progressive workday. Administration is average, but always improving with the time. Discipline is strict but incredibly fair, allowing students more freedom, but keeping us distinctly different from other high schools. DeSmet recently opened a Innovation Center, offering students a professional and quiet work space they can use whenever. All in all, DeSmet is a school that is consistently improving and does a good job at keeping their students in a fair and mature environment.


A recent article published in Alley Watch magazine discusses 8 tips recommended by successful business persons for successfully pitching investors.
Doreen Bloch, CEO/Founder of Poshly Inc said that investors are usually more interested in the big picture, which is your vision for your business, why they will be a good match, and how your company will return their money handsomely. Therefore, spend less time on the nitty-gritty upfront; rather, capture the investor's interest with your passion for the bigger picture.
Derek Flanzraich, CEO and Founder of Greatist said that contrary to what many entrepreneurs may think, it's not your job to convince investors why they're wrong but, instead, to find investors that think you are right. Spending time speaking with investors who aren't convinced can be a huge waste. Instead you should search for true believers and advocates.
Raoul Davis, CEO of Ascendant Group said that doing PR and branding work for your company in advance is important. Make sure you have built a relationship with one of the partners at the firm. The deal should already be close to being done before you pitch. You should be able to inform an investor exactly how you plan to produce the projected revenue concisely and clearly for the deal to get done.
Corbett Barr, Founder of Insanely Useful Media said an investor's biggest concern is missing out on something big. The surest way to land an investor is to convince her that your project is a big opportunity not to be missed out on. Have other respected investors on board for social proof, which is the best proof of your opportunity.
Jun Loayza, President of Ecommerce Rules said that you should maintain a balanced approach while meeting investors. Rather than being over friendly and nice, act little cocky as if you are the prize and that the investor needs to impress you in order to take the money.
David Ehrenberg, Founder and CEO of Early Growth Financial Services said that you should instill your would-be investors with confidence by clearly connecting the dots between their investment and your business goals. Create a compelling narrative that shows that you will be able to accomplish your goals with their money which will most certainly guarantee future investments.
John Harthorne, Founder and CEO of MassChallenge said that there are two things that you absolutely need to know: which industries they invest in and what prior investments they have made. Also, it will help if you know a bit about their personal and professional background. You need to show that you are a capable and reliable recipient of their money.
Carmen Benitez, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Fetch Plus said talking valuation during a pitch is shortsighted for an early-stage investor pitch. Instead, focus on the team and the technology. Clearly explain the stages of your startup and the reasons why you are requesting a certain dollar figure.
How will you implement these 8 tips while pitching investors? Tell us in the comments below.

Community Engagement Day 2019 – Why is Community Engagement Important?
January 28th is a day to embrace the advances that have been made around community engagement. We all know it is important, but everyone values it for their own personal reasons.
To celebrate and embrace Community Engagement day, I asked a few of our team members why they think community engagement is important – here are the answers.
"Trust is the most important thing when it comes to interacting with any community. In a time where technology is constantly gathering data from us, the more informed and involved a community is, the more likely they are to participate and give feedback. Consistently engaging with your community will help to maintain credibility over time." - Charles
"Asking your community for feedback is a great way to gather data to guide the decisions you make in your project. When you have enough data, you are able to make the best decision to ensure your community that their opinion matters and help residents to understand what their input is used for. With digital community engagement strategies, your data is stored safely and is easily accessible which makes the process of reporting back to the community after a consultation much easier. Your data gathered from community engagement will enable you to prove to the community that the decisions that were made in the planning process were intended to meet the desires of the majority of the community." - Colin
"Community engagement ultimately leads to improved outcomes for communities. In order for a plan or project to accurately meet the needs of the community, it's essential gather input from people that projects will affect and develop a plan that directly addresses the feedback received. Involving the community in important decisions will empower and integrate residents from all sort of backgrounds. Digital engagement is an effective way to encourage a much more broad section of a community to feel confident enough to participate and encouraging as many people to participate as possible will result in the best possible outcomes." - Melissa
"In the past few years we have seen a shift in the attitude towards community engagement from a 'nice-to-have' to a crucial element of any project. The community expects to be involved in decision making and in a world of technology and fast-paced lifestyles, they want to have their voice heard at a time that is convenient for them. While community engagement can sound daunting, if you ask the right questions, approach it from multiple angles and use the right tools, it can help you hear from a true cross-section of the impacted stakeholders and help build better communities." - Ollie
"All around the world we're seeing governments out of step with community expectations. Community consultation - listening the to voice of the people across all areas of policy and regulation - has never been more important. Through genuine community engagement we can heal the wounds caused by misinformation and short-sighted planning. I think we're sitting on the edge of the next great leap in the democratic process and it's powered by community engagement. Through comprehensive digital tools the community will be able to have a substantive and supportive role in policy development. It's an exciting time for public participation, and it's never been more important to open up conversations and be the most inclusive we can be." - Patrick
Giving people a voice on projects in their community lets them express their own values. There are many benefits of community engagement, so let's celebrate and embrace this day. Get out there, participate and engage!

Q: How to show particular number of results in a loop? I am having grid which will show 8 inches width and 12 inches height in a loop. How to remove the last result in a loop example 2,4,6,8 will print. i need to remove 8(dynamic value) in the loop.
For example i am directly using 8 as value here.
    var rowInch ='';
    var count=0;
     for(var row = 0; row<=8;row++) {
        if(count%2 === 0) {
        rowInch = count;
       }

   \\show only 2,4,6

   }

A: If you want last even number from dynamic number of rows you can use as below , now even if numbers of rows are 9 , you will get 2,4,6

var rowInch ='';
    var count=0;
    var numRows=9;
     for(var row = 1; row<=numRows;row++) {

      if(numRows-1>row)
      if(row%2 === 0) {
       console.log(row)
       }

   }

A: if you want to omit last value, replace row<=8 with row<8

var rowInch=0;
var count=8;
 for(var row = 1;row<count;row++) {
    if(row%2 === 0) {
      rowInch = row;
      console.log(rowInch);
   }

 }

Chapter 53 – The Elder's Regret and the Spirit of Mikawa
Uesugi Rei lifted her nodachi and sent two fierce sword lights flying forward.
The sword lights sliced through the frozen waterfall right in the middle and that section of the waterfall slid off before falling into the depths of the chasm.
And just like that, a path had opened up in the frozen waterfall.
This scene had brought Shiu back to reality and almost made her wonder if she was dreaming.
Lily was also stupefied by this scene. Perceptive as she was, Lily felt like Rei had become much stronger than the last time they had met. Just as she had progressed, Rei had also improved.
Even for a sword saint, such a feat sounded simply impossible to achieve!
Lily gazed upon Uesugi Rei's lithe back, succulent buttocks, as well as her long legs and wondered just how strong she had become now.
"Although Sister Shimizu is also incredibly strong, can she really contend with a freak existence like Uesugi Rei?" Lily felt worried.
"Let's go!" Uesugi Rei walked on top of the chiseled surface of the frozen waterfall and leaped forward after reaching the end to land inside the cave that was now just a meter away.
Lily pulled the still absent-minded Shiu and walked on this path of ice with ease and jumped into the cave as well.
This was one of the exits of the prison.
After traversing a bit further inside the cave, the trio encountered branching tunnels of the prison.
It seemed that this prison was in the shape of a ring with cylindrical prison cells.
"Do you know where Naoto is locked?" Rei inquired.
Shiu shook her head, "It's my first time here too."
Hence, Uesugi Rei decided to act according to her wishes and used her spirit power to directly freeze the iron gate of the biggest prison cell and broke it open. The trio entered the cell after that and discovered a torture rack, a wooden horse, a torture chair, a T-shaped cross, and an X-shaped cross. The cell was also filled with iron chains, ropes, lashes, birches, pears1, candles, and jars…
"This is the torture room?" Lily shivered in trepidation after seeing all the torture devices in the room.
Shiu also trembled a little and explained, "I heard from the ninja sisters who failed their missions that although this is the biggest torture room in the entire prison, it's used exclusively to punish the ninja girls… It can be said that it's the nightmare of the Mido clan's ninja girls."
Uesugi Rei also furrowed her brows slightly after looking at these torture devices, "This Fuma clan is really twisted! However, Lily, since you were practicing how to escape bindings with Shimizu before, can you escape from these torture devices?"
Lily looked all around and answered with a blushing face, "Although the devices here look pretty terrifying, they aren't that good at restraining. It should be possible for me to escape from their bindings."
"Oh?" Rei smiled faintly and said thoughtfully, "That's interesting. Lily, if it's possible, teach me how to do it as well."2
"Ehhh?" Lily gazed upon Rei's slim and graceful back, feeling puzzled about her words. What does Sister Uesugi mean by that?
The trio left the biggest torture room and began scouting the prison.3 Soon after, they discovered an old woman lying on a haystack inside one of the prison cells.
"It's the Matriarch! Grandma Mido!" Shiu exclaimed.
After Uesugi Rei opened the prison cell's gate, Shiu rushed inside to check up on her.
"Matriarch! Matriarch…" Shiu felt her head spin in sorrow after seeing the inhumane state of the matriarch who had raised her up like family.
"Cough…" It seemed like she still had a breath left in her.
The matriarch's emaciated hand trembled as she raised it up.
Shiu rushed to support her immediately.
"Matriarch! Grandma Mido! You…"
"Cough… Is it really you, Shiu? I'm glad that you're fine, Shiu…"
"Grandma! I'll save you right away!"
"There's no need for that. I already had half a foot in my grave previously, and after getting wounded by the Fuma clan, I don't have much time left in this world. Shiu, it's good that you are still alive. The Mido clan doesn't exist anymore. I really regret not listening to Lady Mimori's words back then… I shouldn't have accommodated the whims of the Fuma clan. If I hadn't done that, things wouldn't have turned so bad and result in the extermination of the Mido clan… Cough… If Lady Mimori was still alive, with her talents and courage, the Mido clan wouldn't have ended up so miserable. Sigh!"
"Please don't speak, Grandma. I'll rescue you from here and request Lady Ashikaga to treat you!"
"Shiu, you have to keep on living well. The Mido clan no longer has a future, but that has no relation to you. You also have no qualifications to avenge the Mido clan, so you should return to the Yagyū family… Shiu, you have no relation to us anymore…"
"No, Matriarch, what about the other sisters and mentor aunt of the Mido clan? Matriarch? Grandma Mido! Grandma Mido?!"
The matriarch had passed away.
"Grandma… the reason you kept reiterating that I don't have the qualifications to avenge the Mido clan even at your last breath was to prevent me from committing the same mistake as Lady Mimori, right? But how could Shiu dare to do something that even Lady Mimori failed in doing? Shiu is satisfied as long as Shiu can dutifully serve at Master's side in Heian. As a ninja, Shiu doesn't need any personal feelings of vengeance."4
Shiu didn't cry, but her lips pressed against each other tightly as she accompanied the matriarch for a few moments blankly.
Lily stepped forward and helped Shiu move the matriarch to the side, and then supported Shiu up before saying, "The Fuma clan isn't just your foe, Shiu, they are also my enemy. Everything will end today, so grandma will be able to rest in peace in the afterlife soon."
"Master… the reason why Shiu came along is to help you, that's all. It's already enough for Shiu to be able to see the matriarch one last time. Therefore, please act according to your wishes, Master. Don't worry about Shiu too much. Since Shiu has already decided to become your ninja, the past doesn't matter anymore. Whether it be the Mido or the Yagyū, neither matter to Shiu anymore. Although Shiu is willing to face any danger for Master, there's no way Shiu can allow Master to face danger for Shiu. If not, Shiu would be tramping on my resolution as Master's ninja! This is the honor and glory of a ninja, Master! So, Shiu hopes that you can understand it…" Shiu held back her tears and spoke to Lily while grabbing her hands tightly.
It was impossible for someone to have no thoughts of avenging the grandma who raised them up like family and have no feelings for a clan where they had trained from childhood to adulthood.
Lily understood Shiu's heart very well.
Lily didn't answer Shiu and simply pulled Shiu into her embrace with one of her hands, allowing her bountiful bosom to envelop Shiu's trembling, tender, tearless face in warmth.
"Sister Uesugi, let's continue looking for Lord Ashikaga," Although Lily calmly spoke these words, flames of fury had lit up within her eyes.
However, they weren't able to find Ashikaga Naoto even though they had searched every nook and cranny of the prison. But they were able to find the other Ashikaga samurai that were imprisoned here.
Although these samurai were bruised all over, they sat cross-legged within the prison cell with resolute expressions on their faces.
"If it weren't to protect the young lord and wait for a chance to rescue him, as samurai of Mikawa, we would have never allowed these despicable ninjas to capture us!"
"If the young lord were to die, we will also follow after him!"
"Where is your young lord, then?" Uesugi Rei asked them.
"Those ninjas took him up just now."
"Since you keep saying you are here to protect the young lord, why didn't you stop them?" Uesugi Rei asked again.
"Those ninjas severed the tendons of our legs. We helped each other sit up like this so we could maintain our dignity as samurai!"
Uesugi Rei's gaze turned severe as both she and Lily had noticed the bloodstained cuts on the bare feet of the seated samurai.
"Haahh," Uesugi Rei's hair danced to the side as she cracked her neck, "Let's go, Lily."
"Where do we look for Lord Ashikaga now?"
"He should be in the chief's residence above the prison," Uesugi Rei's eyes glimmered with a dark light.
Lily also looked at the gallant Mikawa samurai with a solemn gaze and nodded at them in recognition before saying, "Everyone, we were entrusted with the mission to save Lord Ashikaga by Lady Ashikaga Makoto, so we will do our best to rescue your young lord."
"Maybe we should just kill everyone in the house above," Uesugi Rei's long hair danced up and down as she strutted forward and shone with a silver glimmer as her beautiful figure walked towards the stairs within the dark corridor.
Lily's black hair fluttered in the air as her tender hands gently unsheathed Crescent Moon from its scabbard. Donned in a sorrowful yet beautiful looking red-black princess-like armor, she strode forward with her long slender legs5 to catch up with Rei and walked alongside her.6
Silva: honestly had no idea what these two are… asked around a bit and I deeply regret it, or did I…
Silva: Hehehehehehehehe… (rub hands together)
Silva: Boo, she didn't bind up Lily for *experiment*
Robinxen: Shiu has earned my respect here, she's earned her place in the harem.
Robinxen: This descriptor was totally needed and indispensable!
Silva: And so the massacre begins!!

Q: GLSurfaceView scrollTo does nothing I've been trying for a while to vertically scroll a GLSurfaceView that's not displayed in its entirety. I feel a bit dumb posting such a short explanation of my question, but that's all I can muster: I know the window is getting the click and drag events, but scrollTo (100% sure it gets correct parameters) does not move the window at all.
EDIT: After a bit more tweaking, I found methods for manipulating the surface through the GL10 gl object, but it is completely unresponsive. It doesn't bother to act on the simplest of tasks, like setting the surface to a single color with glClearColor(). onDrawFrame() of the renderer is getting called, but calling functions on the gl objects (or static functions from the GLES10 class) does nothing, what could possibly cause this?

A: For closure's sake, a possible reason for a GL10 object not to respond is that it might have been passed by value to onDrawFrame(), and not by reference.

In this thesis, a Bayesian framework for model selection and parameter estimation is reported to tackle strongly nonlinear systems using noisy observational data. The model selection task involves estimating the posterior probabilities of each proposed model based on observations. To evaluate the probability of a model, the evidence is computed using the Chib-Jeliazkov method that makes use of Metropolis-Hastings samples of the posterior distribution of the parameters. The parameter estimation algorithm entails a state estimation procedure carried out by non-Gaussian filters. When the measurements are sparse, the nonlinearity in the model or measurement operator introduces non-Gaussian features in the system state. The Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and Particle filter (that uses EnKF for the proposal density) handle the state estimation problem. The methodology is illustrated with two numerical examples, namely the Double-Well system and a mass-spring-damper system having multiple types of nonlinearities such as freeplay, cubic stiffness and hysteresis.

Multifamily building residents—renters in particular—often fall through the cracks of traditional energy efficiency offerings. Building residents rarely have the ability or long-term incentive to pay for energy upgrades in their homes, and building owners have little motivation to reduce energy costs borne by residents. Standard utility energy efficiency programs—which rely mainly on financial incentives to encourage participation—have had little impact in encouraging efficiency.
Last spring, a group of DUSP graduate students devised a new model for multifamily energy efficiency in a practicum course led by Professors Harvey Michaels and Larry Susskind. The students proposed a solution that was based in equal parts on the use of non-financial incentives to encourage participation through a engaged city-scale implementer and community-based social marketing techniques, and the better use of building and energy consumption data to identify and target areas for potential efficiency improvements. By orienting program offerings around the social networks of communities and leveraging the energy data sources available to implementers, this model could unlock energy efficiency savings that have previously been off-limits to program administrators.
As a result of this effort, NSTAR and the City of Cambridge are working with MIT to scope out a pilot energy efficiency program in Cambridge that takes into account the added complexity of the multifamily sector. Read the group's report here.

I found this post very interesting as a recently attended a session at a conference based on the topic of energy-efficiency and how it relates to multi-family buildings versus single-family residential. The speaker explained that even when single-family homeowners do everything they can to make their homes more energy efficient, multi-family homes that make no effort have the same effect on the environment. This has been an everlasting struggle in the field of planning when it comes to renters in particular that have no interest in investing in a temporary residence. Also, in my graduate courses we have been discussing different tools that homeowners can utilize in order to gain tax and other financial incentives as well as non-financial tools to help guide homeowners in the right direction and limit blight/abandonment.

GPS interference caused the FAA to reroute Texas air traffic. Experts stumped
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of mysterious GPS interference that, over the past few days, has closed one runway at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and prompted some aircraft in the region to be rerouted to areas where signals were working properly. The interference first came to light on October 17 when the FAA issued an advisory warning flight personnel and air traffic controllers of GPS interference over a 40-mile swath of airspace near the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.
Comcast ad campaign takes aim at T-Mobile fixed wireless access
Comcast recently launched a TV ad and erected a dedicated website that takes aim at the capabilities and features of T-Mobile's 5G-powered home broadband service, charging that they come up short when compared to what's delivered via Comcast's wired broadband services. In what's expected to be the first in a series of ads either targeting T-Mobile's service or perhaps the broader fixed wireless access (FWA) sector, Comcast's tongue-in-cheek "Vampires" ad features a family of four in a therapist's office lamenting the performance of T-Mobile's offering.

A market analysis, based on Q3 2022 mobile data, which examined several categories, including upload speeds, multi-server latency, consistency, video score, 5G video score, 5G performance, 5G availability, and 5G consistency. See the following for the rankings of each mobile provider in each category:
Telecom services revenue will fall 4.2% per user as new tech fails to deliver enough value by 2027
Total worldwide telecoms revenues from mobile and fixed broadband services will grow 14% between 2022 and 2027 to reach €1.2 trillion ($1.18 trillion). However monthly average revenue per user (ARPU) combined across both mobile and fixed broadband will fall by 4.2% from €7.48 ($7.36) in 2022 to €7.16 ($7.05) in 2027. In mobile markets, it is now evident that 5G will not be sufficient to offset ARPU decline as customers are unwilling to pay more for it.

Bharani started his career as a lyricist. His first song was a song in Nalaya Theerpu which was also the first song for Vijay in Tamil industry. His original name was Gunasekaran. It was S.A. Chandrasekar who named him as Barani as his star sign was Barani. In 1999, he was given the chance by him to compose music for the movie Periyanna. His first song was Nilavey Nilavey which he recorded in AVM recording studio. His second project was Parvai Onraey Podhumae which was a super hit.
Every song according to him is being composed with the expectation that it will be a hit. But certain songs will get the combination of all the ingredients right. The voice of the singer, background and lyrics add craze to the song. A song of that caliber is Thuli Thuliyai from Parvai Onre Podhume. Music directors from the beginning like G. Ramanathan Iyer till the present music directors like Vidyasagar are all his favorites. Among all Illayaraja is his most favorite because he is one who inspired him during his boyhood days.

Dictators are rarely tall
Long years ago I read an article on class of rulers known by the nomenclature of dictators. The common characteristic of the dictator as pointed out in the article was, and it is a fact also that dictators were rarely tall, when there is deficiency in one characteristic of man, God compensates him somewhere in some other quality.
Napolean Bonapart was 5 feet 1 inch, Herr Hitler, dictator of Germany, the world's most photographed man at that time, was a little below the German average height. Benito Mussolini was 5 feet 6 inches. General Franco, the man who led a successful revolt against the Monarchy in Spain was a little above 5 feet in his field boots, he ruled Spain as Head of the State for 36 years without any elections, and the beauty of his character is that he returned Spain to a scion of the Monarch whom he toppled in Spain and returned the country back to Monarchy.
Herr Hitler wanted to dominate Europe. Before annexing Czechoslovakia summoned the President of Czechoslovakia Dr. Benes, and barked at him. "Are you not aware that you are in the presence of the greatest Germen history has ever known?" Dr. Benes fainted. Hitler tried to find excuses to expand his empire over Eurasia. Hitler's claim on the Polish port of Denzig came as easy excuse and he invaded Poland in September 1939, his army ran through Scandanavian countries and France. Wherefrom the British expeditionary forces had to withdraw, which Churchill, the then Prime Minister, in his famous address to parliament called a colossal military disaster.
Hitler's succesess in Europe found an ally in the person of Benito Mussolini, who ransacked Ethopia in search of hidden gold. But there is a similarity in the end of these two dictators also. At the end of the 2nd World War when German-Italian axis was defeated Musolinis body was dragged in the streets of Rome and hung up in a public square for display to the Italian nation, he once ruled.
Hitler confined himself in a cellar in Berlin along with his mistress Eva Braun and his faithful dog. He called for the priest, to perform the nuptial rites and then gave a capsule of poison to his newly weded wife Eva and put a bullet through the head of his faithful dog and another bullet to his own head. Allies tried to find out dead bodies, which they could never find, probably they were burnt by his followers, Hitlers second-in-command Field Marshal Goering and others Herr Von Ribbon Trop, Herr Himmler, Dr. Gobbles, the propaganda chief were brought for trial before the Nuremberg Tribunal for War Crimes and sentenced to death.
The leadership of Eurasia was expected and it was an ignobel death that was seen, fate has these turns, the makers of history forget that the wheels of history grind slowly, but surely grind small. The final destination of every ruler is the grave, irrespective of his or her expectations. When Alexender the great died and his body was being taken to the grave both of his hands were stretched out of the coffin to indicate that he is going to meet the Maker empty handed.
In the case of Napolean, throne of the world was expected, it was St. Helena that was seen, fate has these turns, out of all these facts of history there has emerged a saying that pride goeth before fall. It happened in the case of Hitler, it happened in the case of Musolini, it has happened and it will continue to happen in the case of every ruler turned dictator. The main difference between a ruler and a dictator is that a ruler is benevolent, he rules according to laws framed by the nation, while the dictator is free of all restrictions, his word is law.
The greatest example of democracy is in England, where there is no written constitution, the Prime Minister rules according to the traditions laid down by the parliament, when Charles-I wanted to rule according to the constitution, the parliament took away all the powers of the King, the King refused to sign this law and no law can be passed as an Act unless it is ascented by His Majesty Charles I refused to give his ascent, the parliament then passed the law to behead the King and the King was in fact beheaded. In parliamentary democracy, the Prime Minister is responsible to parliament for each and every action, so much so that a Minister can not afford to have a scandel and himself much less the prime Minister.
There is one mitigating factor in case of Napolean and Alexender: their intense love for their mothers. Once Napolean, when he was a soldier in the French army, was standing a bit worried on the bank of River Siene. His life long friend met him, but Napolean was unmoved. His friend shouted, "What is your problem? Are you not happy to see me?" Napolean replied, "My mother is very sick and I can't buy her medicine." His friend asked him to keep standing there and then ran back and brought with him six thousand gold Francs. Napolean took it and rushed to remit the money to his mother and when he returned, his friend was not there.
Later Napolean was riding to the place for his coronation, riding in a stagecoach. He spotted his friend in the crowd. Napolean stopped the procession, ran to his friend, caught him by his hand and brought him in his coach to ride with him. Napolean offered sixty thousand gold Francs, his friend refused to take it, he had enough of his own money, he did not need it, he only gave money to Napolean when he needed it. The two friends never met thereafter. Can we find such an example of such a sincere friendship? I am sure the answer would be in negative.
Another example of the intense love for his mother is of Alexender the great, when he left Greece for the conquest of the world, he handed over the charge of the affairs of the state to his friend Antipeter. Antipeter used to write to Alexender every day and in one of his letters he expressed his inability to carry on the affairs of the state because of the interference of Alexender's mother. Alexender read the letter and said, one drop of tear from the eyes of my mother can wash off one thousand such letters of Antipeter and threw the letter into fire.
When Iraq was being ruled by King Faisal, Prince Abdul Ilah was the crown prince and also the ruler of Syria. Nuri-es-Said was the Prime Minister and when General Abudul Karim Kasim of Iraqi army staged a coup, Nouri-es-Said fled the country. King Faisal's mother caught hold of the hand of her son, took a copy of Holy Quran in her hand and went to General Abdul Karim Kasim to beg for the lives of her son and herself. General Kasim took out his revolver and shot both the mother and her son King Faisal. They may be buried in a corner in the royal palalce. Violence begets violence, and later on dictator General Abdul Karim Kasim met the same fate alongwith his few supporters.
So there is a great similarity not only in the heights of the dictators but also in their policies and movements and their final end, this is the law of God. This is what Saddam Hussein is facing now for his unjust attack on Iran, Kuwait and Kurds.
Another typical example of dictators is General Ziaul Haq of Pakistan, nearly 5 feet 6 Inches in height. A dictator has got no priciples, no policies, and no morals and true to his character Ziaul Haq toppled his own benefactor Prime Minister Zulifikar Ali Bhutto, who had selected him for appointment as Chief of the Army Staff. Ziaul Haq not only toppled Bhutto but also saw to it that he is put to death and that too by judicial process, he ruled the country right, left and center, appointed ministers and got them approved by a hand picked majlis-e-shoora.
But in the final anylasis, his fate was also the same as that of Hitler, Musolini and others. Ziaul Haq wipped and flogged and used the boggey of Islamization to crush the national spirit of the people of Pakistan. He did not fail even to exploit religion of Islam to perpetuate his rule in one form or the other and died in a mysterious plane crash in which the American Ambassador and a Brigadier General were also killed. A dictator lives and dies for himself and not for country. No enquiries were finalized to ascertain the real cause behind the assisination of the Head of the State of Pakistan. This is how the dictators end because they do not have the support of the people.
Smoking blood over crowded cemetries and mothers in tears are formidable pleaders to which the abiss has to lend an ear. The problem with power is that it goes to the head of the person who attains it; first he attains power, then he uses power and then he abuses power and finally he losses power, this is what happened in the case of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He was advised to consolidate the nation first before entering into international arena of politics, this advice was taken lightly by him and in the process he expected the leadership of the Islamic world, but a hangmans noose was seen, fate has these turns.
History does not record a person who has been able to retain the balance of their head after attaining power. The so-called sacred document known as the 3rd Constitution of Pakistan is a piece in example. Immediately after promulgation of the 1973 constitution Mr. Bhutto brought in seven amendments one of which was that if the President does not give his ascent to an act passed by the parliament within 7 days, the ascent of the President will be deemed to have been obtained.
Mr. Bhutto was also not satisfied with his dejure number 2 position in the Pakistani heriachry and wanted to amend the constitution suitably, and that is why 2/3 majority in the parliament had to be obtained, which led him to the hangmans noose. This is where dictatorial nature of the rulers comes in. Thus the father of the Islamic bomb went to the gallows.
The present impasse before the world is that the super power is trying to become the supermost in the world of today. In pursuit of its goal, the super power has to find excuses to subdue the other nations and take control of their resources. God has given ample wealth in the continents of Africa and Asia, over which the super power is concentrating to take control, so a kind of fear is being inculcated in comperatively weaker but oil rich nations and also over European nations for which American manned NATO is being successfully used.
Law of nature is that strength lies in unity and unity alone, and this advise is given in the Holy Quran, Surah Luqman, where an old mad had seven sons, who use to fight against each other, the old man called all the sons and gave each of them a bundle of sticks tied together and asked them to break the bundle of sticks, they could not, then he untied these bundles and gave each one of them a stick, which they broke in no time. The moral of the story is that unity is strength, there is no greater hour than now, when greatest demand for the Islamic world is to unite and exploit their own resources and meet the challenges of the so-called terrorism and its imaginary villan Osama bin Laden created by President George W. Bush.
Instead of acting on the policy of friends or foe, let us adopt the policy, live and let live. This is the only honourable way of life otherwise law of God is bound to come into action and take its toll. This is what happened to Namrod during the pre-historic days of Prophet Abraham, this is what happened to Remesis during the days of Moses and the law of God has never been defied or can it ever be defied. The preachers of democracy, who turn themselves into dictators through sheer brute majority created by power politics, may want to take serious note of this facet of history.

Q: Remove hidden attribute from tr tag I am relatively new to coding and I am trying to remove the "hidden" attribute from a tr tag if I press a button. I tried this by using removeAttribute but nothing happens. I tried this with other tags like button to see if the problem is related with the actual tr tag but nothing worked.
This is the html:

        <textarea name="userimp" id="userImp" disabled></textarea>
        <button type="button" id="editBTN" onclick="edit()">:</button>

This the JS:
function addComment() {
    var addCom = prompt("Add you comment if you have any tips");
    if (addCom != null) {
        document.myForm.userinp.value = addCom;
        document.getElementsByClassName("hidden1").removeAttribute('hidden');
    }
}

A: Method 1: You need to select the first element from the ClassName, since getElementsByClassName returns a collection (kind of array but not exactly) . Also, you need to remove the attribute name which is class not the value :)
Try this:
document.getElementsByClassName("hidden1")[0].removeAttribute("class");

Method 2: You can also remove this class using the below method:
document.querySelector(".hidden1").classList.remove("hidden1")

A: this should be work for you:
document.getElementsByClassName("hidden1")[0].classList.remove("hidden1");

because getElementsByClassName returns an collection. in this case index 0 be worked.
Note!
but if you have more tr tags in your table the you have to implement an uniqu selector. or dynamic class names.

A: It seems like that there is no "hidden" attribute on the
 which you can remove.
I guess you wanted to remove the "hidden1" class from the
.
In this case you can do the following:
function addComment()
    {
    var addCom = prompt("Add you comment if you have any tips");
    if (addCom != null)
        {
        document.myForm.userinp.value = addCom;
        document.getElementsByClassName("hidden1")[0].classList.remove("hidden1");
        }
}

Notice that the document.getElementsByClassName returns with an Array (actually a collection, but it's like Array), so you have to refer to it's member to refer to an actual DOM element.
