PUL-E KHUMRI - Civil society in Afghanistan's northeast is forming stronger partnerships with local media to generate public discussion and advocacy around issues of crucial importance to local communities.
In 2017, the Kunduz and Pul-e Khumri field offices of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) organized a series of public events, along with radio and TV programming, to raise awareness about good governance and combatting corruption. According to Shir Mohammad Jahesh, the director of Tanweer, a local media company in Baghlan, the programmes encouraged residents to speak out.
During the media campaigns, Mr Jahesh went on to say, Tanweer received phone calls from the audience asking for the continuation of the series. "We observed some engagement and discussions on our social media too," he said, stressing that every citizen has a duty to fight corruption, which he characterized as the root cause of insecurity in Afghanistan.
Ahmad Javid, a youth activist who participated in the Pul-e Khumri outreach initiative, says that as a result of the campaigns, he began speaking up against corruption publicly.
UNAMA has been supporting civil society organizations across Afghanistan to work with local radio and television, through a combination of technical assistance and outreach events, to engage communities and raise awareness about different issues that have impact on the lives of Afghans.
This year, UNAMA has supported several media campaigns in Baghlan and Kunduz around peace and anti-corruption, in partnership with local civil society groups and local media outlets.
UNAMA is mandated to support the Afghan Government and the people of Afghanistan as a political mission that provides 'good offices' among other key services. 'Good offices' are diplomatic steps UN takes publicly and in private, drawing on its independence, impartiality and integrity to prevent international disputes from arising, escalating or spreading.

Understanding the role attitudes could play in conservation planning for wolves and brown bears in Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, Italy
Glikman, Jenny Anne (2011) Understanding the role attitudes could play in conservation planning for wolves and brown bears in Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, Italy. Doctoral (PhD) thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Wolf and brown bear populations are expanding throughout Europe, in a human dominated landscape. Conservation of these two species will be determined by the attitudes of those who live close to them. Unlike in North America, human dimensions (HD) regarding human-wildlife issues remains a relatively new field of research in Europe, and even more so in Italy. This is the first study of HD in wolf and bear management in Italy. -- This dissertation has focused on understanding how the attitudes of those living in close proximity to both wolves and bears can play a role in achieving conservation planning. -- Attitudes are positive of negative evaluations of an object - in this case wolves or bears - and are a mental state composed by affective (feelings), cognitive (beliefs) and behavioural intention components. Each component of attitude plays a role in the conservation of wolves and brown bears. The objectives of this study were to look in detail at these three components, how they can be linked, and how they contribute to conservation. Quantitative face-to-face (n=1611) interviews were carried out to determine attitudes of residents toward wolves and bears in the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park (PNALM) and the surrounding buffer zone. -- This dissertation demonstrated that the majority of residents in the PNALM are willing to coexist with these large carnivores. Participants expressed positive feelings toward wolves and bears, they tolerated the perceived damages caused, and they support the maintenance and protection of both species - but especially of brown bears. This dissertation showed that residents have a higher level of knowledge about bears, which results in stronger positive feelings. -- These are important messages to communicate to managers responsible for the conservation of wolves and brown bears. Emphasizing these positive findings can be the staring point for constructive dialogue on conservation. This study, therefore, sets the direction for the future public involvement processes. The next HD step would be to organize workshops with all interest groups (e.g. shepherds, hunters, non-locals), to bring them together and to work with them on their commonalities to create a management plan for wolves and bears.

My ex-husband/wife refuses to work. How can we calculate child support amounts?
Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. One spouse is working attempting to make ends meet while supporting a child, meanwhile the other spouse refuses to work and/or pay any child support. The other spouse apparently is relying on their income of zero to prevent a court for morning and paying child support.
Florida courts ultimately get around this issue by attributing minimum-wage to the other party or something greater the minimum-wage if the petitioner is permitted to do so. For example, if someone had some sort of special skill, like a doctor, and was making hundreds of thousand dollars a year and you were able to show they stop working solely to prevent paying child support, one would have a very strong argument to a court they be required to pay above and beyond minimum-wage. The majority of family cases through the court simply will impute minimum wage.
We've had great success in matters where we've had to impute minimum-wage on the opposing party because of their unwillingness and alleged inability to work any job. These matters often include lengthy discovery and written and oral discovery because of allegations concerning inability to find work.
If you or someone you know is faced with an issue where their former spouse refuses to work and/or pay child support contact the family law attorneys of Hackworth Law for free case consultation. We look forward to working with you getting you the support and assistance you legally, morally and ultimately deserve.

Health officials launch investigation into mystery Cape Town 'poisoning'
By TANYA FARBER
Image: City Of Cape Town Paramedics helped patients who had collapsed
Cape Town authorities called for calm on Tuesday after a baffling incident in which six residents collapsed within minutes of each other.
Five of the six remain in a critical condition in hospital after collapsing on Monday near Wetton Circle. They are believed to have been poisoned by something they ate or drank.
"We do not want to speculate on the possible cause until blood tests or clinical samples have been completed and interviews with those affected have been conducted," said Zahid Badroodien, Cape Town's mayoral committee member for health.
Investigations of this nature take time to complete, he said, advising the public and the media to allow for the police investigation to run its course so that the victims and their families can be provided with "concrete answers".
Six people collapse after ingesting 'unknown substance' in Cape Town
Western Cape police spokesperson Lt-Col Andrè Traut told SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE that no criminal case had been opened. "Lansdowne police will be looking into the matter to determine the circumstances," he said, adding that an inquiry "had been registered for this purpose".
ER24 spokesperson Russell Meiring said on Monday that it was not known if the victims were related or knew each another.
Cape Town law enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason said: "City law enforcement officers on patrol in Wetton were alerted to an incident in which three males and one female had collapsed at a bus stop."
They received medical attention on the scene from paramedics, and "one of them was experiencing convulsions".
Just as the paramedics were treating them, it was reported that another person was lying on the pavement in Walnut Road and a sixth on the corner of St Joseph's and Wetton roads.
All six were treated on the scene and taken to hospital.
Other media outlets have reported that the victims consumed food and drink that was given to them for free from a vehicle driving through the area, but TimesLIVE has not been able to confirm this.

Local health units ready to support safe return to school
By Krista McEachern0
Belleville, ON, Canada / Quinte News
David Foot
Local medical officers of health have released a joint statement in support of area school boards that are getting set to welcome students back to the classroom next month.
In their statement released Thursday, Hastings Prince Edward Acting MOH Dr. Alexa Caturay and Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MOH Dr. Kieran Moore say they "understand that many families may be feeling some uncertainty about sending children back to school" and those concerns are being recognized.
They say they are continuing to work with school boards to support a safe return to school and that the area's low positive case count and continued prevention efforts in the community, will contribute to a successful reopening of schools.
Both health units plan to release more information on supporting a safe return to school in the coming days, but say the biggest thing people can do is to remain vigilant in stopping the spread of COVID-19.
You can read the full letter below:
As September approaches, we understand that many local families may be feeling some uncertainty about sending their children back to school. We recognize your concerns and want to reassure you that the health and safety of students and staff is our priority. We are working together with school boards to support a safe return to school for everyone.
Every day we are confronted with changing information about COVID-19, which can create confusion and uncertainty. It is important to recognize that there is a notable difference between what is happening around the globe and the situation in our region. In our region, we have been fortunate to have maintained consistently low infection rates throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting the school year with very few positive cases, as well as continuous efforts from the community to practise preventative measures will contribute to a successful reopening of local schools. Education is fundamental to good health and we want to ensure that students are not left behind. The decision to send kids back to face-to-face learning is going to be unique to every family. Make the best one for your family for right now, knowing that we completely support the local school boards in the reopening of our local schools as students and staff return to the classroom in September.
The community can be reassured that there are existing processes in place to prevent and respond to any cases or outbreaks of infectious disease in the school environment. With access to some of the best resources in our communities such as surveillance and monitoring, responsive assessment centres, testing, laboratories, and contact tracing practices, we are well equipped to identify and respond to any positive cases quickly and efficiently. Even more importantly, the continued efforts of individuals and families to continue to adhere to public health measures will help keep the number of positive cases low in our area.
Additional information about specific processes that will support a safe return to school will become available in the coming days, including dedicated public health web pages about COVID-19 prevention in schools.
This is a critical time. Now, more than ever, we must continue to remain vigilant. The same proven practices that have kept our community safe will now be implemented in our local schools. We all have a role to play to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our community, and the ongoing efforts of community members, health professionals, educators, families, and students will all contribute to a safe return to school this fall.
Together, we can keep our students and our community safe.

Microsoft CEO Gaffe Highlights Gender Pay Issues
by Nick Kolakowski October 13, 2014 2 min read
MicrosoftSalariesSatya Nadellawomen in tech
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spoke to an audience of female tech pros at the annual Grace Hopper Conference, and things didn't quite go as planned.
During an onstage question-and-answer session, Nadella suggested that female employees trust "karma" to get them the salary raise they deserve, rather than actually asking for one: "It's not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along."
That ignited a bit of a firestorm, with pundits and publications pointing out that, despite Nadella's belief in the system to give everybody exactly what they deserve, women continue to make less than men.
In a subsequent email to Microsoft employees, Nadella attempted to walk back his comments. "Without a doubt I wholeheartedly support programs at Microsoft and in the industry that bring more women into technology and close the pay gap," he wrote. "If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask."
Upload Your ResumeEmployers want candidates like you. Upload your resume. Show them you're awesome.
But even that wasn't quite enough to quiet the pushback. "Women are paid less than men, and one reason is that women are less likely to negotiate for raises or promotions," Claire Cain Miller wrote in The New York Times, citing the work of Carnegie Mellon University researcher Linda Babcock, which found that only 7 percent of women negotiate their pay.
"One of the reasons that Mr. Nadella's comments provoked such a response at the conference and on social media," Miller added, "is that he also seemed to confirm a common fear: that women who negotiate their compensation will pay a price."
Nadella isn't the first CEO to make controversial remarks, and it remains to be seen whether his speedy apology will mitigate some of the damage. But the broader issues of pay disparity likely won't go away nearly as quickly.

African Americans, of either gender, don't have a pay gap because they don't get hired at all. Where is the outrage at that? In fact this isn't being address at all.
In fact why isn't there an African Americans in technology talent community on DICE?
Jacob October 14, 2014
Why does there need to be an outrage at all? Why does there have to be a talent community specifically for African Americans? Why cant companies just hire the best man/women for the job? Regardless if they're white, black, Indian, male or women? Isn't equality supposed to bring a "state of being equal" to all races & genders? How is creating a African American talent community being equal?
"Why does there have to be a talent community specifically for African Americans?" The same reason there is one for women, African Americans,like women, are underrepresented in IT and attention needs to be brought to that issue.
Why does attention NEED to be brought to that issue?

Q: Rule of thumb for amount of usage memory it takes to make a worker process recycle? I've got a code base with lots of this:
byte[] contents = FileUtils.FileToByteArray(FileOfGartantuanProportions);

I don't control my IIS server, so I can't see the system log or do instrumentation, I just get to see my request fail to return (white page of death) and sometimes YSOD with Out of Memory error.
Does anyone have a rule of thumb for what is the most data you can load up into memory before IIS5 or IIS6 will kill the work process or just keel over and die?
Or better yet, is there an API call I an make, something like:
  if(!IsEnoughMemoryFor(FileOfGartantuanProportion.Length)) throw new SomeException() ;

On my XP Pro workstation I can get get an ASP.NET page to successfully deal with a very large byte array in memory, but these results obviously weren't applicable to a real shared server.

A: With IIS6 in native mode you can configure the limits for each Application Pool.
With IIS5 it's configured using the  element in machine.config as a percentage of total system memory - default is 60%.

A: For IIS 6, you'll likely run into the memory recycling limits PeriodicRestartPrivateMemory and PeriodicRestartMemory.  I think on XP, it's 60% of physical memory. At least that's what I remember about asp.net 1.1, I'm not sure about 2.0
The YSOD is probably best handled with try/catch around the large allocations.

A: According to Tess Ferrandez's talk at TechEd, you can start seeing Out Of Memory exceptions on a 32bit server when you have about 800MB in Private Bytes or 1.4GB in Virtual Bytes.
She also had a good post about why this is here:

A restaurant analogy

Other points she made included thinking about what you're serialising into session - for example serialising a 1MB dataset can result in 15-20MB of memory used on the server every page as that data is serialised and de-serialised.

Pride in Writing
Whenever I discuss pride in writing, people almost immediately think of pride in a negative way. They assume that someone who is proud of their own work is some kind of a pompous jerk. They equate a writer citing one of his favorite stories or his best writing accomplishments with a rich New York socialite looking at herself in the mirror and smiling. The flip side of this is a writer taking no pride in writing and referring to himself as a hack or somehow inferior to the best writers of his day. This latter side is how most people think in general, referring to themselves in a negative way and saying that they could never be as good as "him" or "her."
When I finish a day of writing, I certainly feel a sense of pride and I'm happy to share it with others. When I've created something that I'm proud of, I'd much rather feel a sense of accomplishment and express it with people than to try to keep up some kind of facade. First of all, it feels so much better to say the words, "I am a writer," than it does to water it down. When you don't have a lot of pride in writing that you do, you are likely to say something like, "I work at a coffee shop and I do some writing," or "I'm a temp and I write on the side." You may be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by placing writing second, third or anywhere other than first in that sentence. If you want to be a writer, you should say that you're a writer. It will probably make your writing stronger and more confident.
Secondly, writing is so tough sometimes that it's important to be supportive of yourself. When you are your toughest critic and you assume that nothing you write will ever be good enough, whether or not you're right, you are keeping yourself from doing something that you love. You are trying to discourage yourself from writing. Take some pride in writing. Be proud of the fact that you've produced something. And if you haven't yet, then go and write something and then be proud of it. I'm sure there are plenty of great writers who beat themselves up about a sentence they could have made better here and a character they could have made more well rounded there. Personally, I'd rather not live that way. I've had scripts and stories I've written torn into shreds by critics. I've had them torn into shreds mentally by myself. I refuse to be swayed by their opinions or my own. I know that I want to be a writer and I'm going to write, negativity be damned!
Lastly, pride in writing will also help you to promote your work. If you're worried that someone might think your writing isn't good enough, you might not do as much as you need to do to get people to buy the dang thing. Be excited and be proud of what you've done, and you'll already be miles ahead of those who are more talented and too fearful to write a single word.

Step 2: Discrimination against LGBT+ people
There is not a single country on Earth where LGBT+ people do not face discrimination. In the Netherlands, the government made laws against this kind of discrimination, but there are many countries where the government makes laws to discriminate against LGBT+ people.
It is illegal for men to be gay in 72 countries
The same goes for women in 45 countries
Being homosexual is a reason to get the death penalty in at least 8 countries
The government actively works against LGBT+ organisations in at least 25 countries
There are laws against "promoting" homosexuality in 22 countries
LGBT+ rights are part of the constitution in only 9 countries
Statistics taken from ILGA (International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association)
In 72 countries, it is illegal for people to be in a romantic relationship with someone of the same gender. It is difficult for LGBT+ people to get a job, a house, or proper healthcare. They can be arrested and they are at a higher risk of torture and rape in jail.
On May 17th 2017, the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, a gay couple was arrested and given 85 lashes. The men were whipped in public. There was a big crowd taking pictures and videos.
In Dahka, 28 men were arrested based on how they dressed and behaved, and because they had condoms, which made the police think they were gay. There was no sexual activity, though, so they could not be arrested for homosexuality and they were arrested for having drugs instead.
In this Russian republic, the government started a witch hunt for gay men. Over a hundred men have been locked up and tortured in secret prisons. Dozens of men have been blackmailed by the police or by their own families. Ramzan Jadyrov, the leader of the country, says this is not true. He says there is simply no homosexuality in his republic.
3) Discrimination is against the law in the Netherlands, but it is not one of the countries that clearly put LGBT+ rights in the constitution. Do you think this should be changed? If yes, write what text you would add to the constitution. If no, explain why not.

UP gears up for bypolls in Mainpuri, Khatauli, Rampur on Monday | Lucknow News
LUCKNOW: A direct contest between the BJP and Samajwadi Party-Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) alliance is on the cards in the bypolls to one Lok Sabha and two assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.
The BSP and the Congress are not contesting from the seats.
Polling will be held from 7 am to 6 pm and the results will be declared on December 8.
According to a statement issued by the office of Uttar Pradesh's Chief Electoral Officer, 24.43 lakh people will exercise their voting rights in the bypolls.
This includes 13.14 lakh male voters, 11.29 lakh female voters and 132 third category voters, it said.
Voting will take place at 3,062 polling booths located in 1,945 polling centres.
While the bypoll to the Mainpuri parliamentary seat is taking place due to the death of Samajwadi Party (SP) founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, in Rampur Sadar and in Khatauli, the polls were necessitated after SP MLA Azam Khan and BJP MLA Vikram Singh Saini were disqualified following their conviction in different cases.
While Khan was disqualified after a court awarded him three-year imprisonment in a 2019 hate speech case, Saini lost his membership of the assembly after his conviction in a 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots case.
The outcomes of the bypolls will not have any impact on the central or the state governments as the BJP enjoys a comfortable majority at both levels.
However, wins would provide a psychological advantage ahead of the 2024 general elections.
While in Mainpuri, there are six candidates in the fray, 14 candidates are contesting from Khatauli and 10 from Rampur Sadar, according to the Election Commission.
In Mainpuri, Mulayam Singh Yadav's elder daughter-in-law and SP president Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav is pitted against BJP's Raghuraj Singh Shakya.
The BJP candidate, who was once a close associate of Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party chief and Akhilesh Yadav's uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav, joined the saffron party ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls held earlier this year.
The BJP in Rampur Sadar has fielded Akash Saxena, who is the son of former party MLA Shiv Bahadur Saxena, against senior SP leader Azam Khan's protege Asim Raja, while in Khatauli, the fight is between Vikram Singh Saini's wife Rajkumari Saini and Madan Bhaiya from the RLD.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, deputy chief ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and senior leader Bhupendra Chaudhary were among the top campaigners for the BJP.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, who did not canvass for earlier bypolls in the Azamgarh and the Rampur parliamentary seats, led an aggressive campaign for his wife in Mainpuri and attended a rally along with Khan and Dalit leader Chandrasekhar Azad in Rampur Sadar to seek votes for the party's nominee Raza.
RLD president Jayant Chaudhary stayed put in Khatauli to garner support for his party's nominee.

The increase in industries leads to high discharge of effluents, which in turn pollutes the environment critically. Algal technology is a very efficient method to treat this effluent by using bioremediation process. Algae can be cultivated under certain conditions of temperature, light and sufficient nutrients to produce value added products. Many research works were undertaken to increase the efficiency of the production rate in both indoor and outdoor cultivation systems by designing special Photo-Bio Reactors (PBR's) to increase the rate of photosynthesis. Duration and intensity of light have more impact on the growth and photo synthesis of micro algae. Micro algae have excellent potential for industrial applications to treat effluent. Micro algae need a light/dark regime for productive photosynthesis. The LED (Light Emitting Diode) has the potential to stimulate the growth rate of algae. Experiments conducted in the current research work showed that, the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris (algal species of our interest) is increased by 5.31% (RED LED), 3.72% (BLUE LED) and 6.31% (WHITE LED) at varying effluent concentrations respectively in laboratory conditions. Also the study clearly shows that the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is reduced significantly by 15%, COD by 23.7%, BOD by 93% and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) by 99.8% under Blue LED and under White LED, TDS is reduced by 20%, COD by 27.3%, BOD by 97%, and TSS by 99.99%. The result clearly proves that the biodegradation rate is significantly increased and physiochemical parameters varied for different wavelengths of Blue and White LED lights.
Developments in industrialization have led to the increase pollution mainly caused due to the disposal of liquid and solid wastes in to the environment. Dairy, Tannery, Textile, Pharmaceuticals and Paper industries produce goods necessary for the sustenance of life and are the primary sources of pollution. Due to ever increasing population and urbanization problems associated with pollutants are likely to increase . Water pollution has significantly affected the highly populated countries and people living in these countries have been suffering from serious health ailments . Pollution control has been one of the important areas requiring immediate focus and intervention through scientific research. It is of common interest to find out suitable remedies for treating wastewater and to have sustainable development [2,3]. Main causes for surface and groundwater contamination are the industrial discharges . These effluents typically contain high concentrations of organic and inorganic chemicals such as hydrocarbon solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, dyes and so on. The control of organic pollutants in wastewater is a very important measure in environmental protection .
Dye industry tops the charts by releasing 2-20% of its effluents in environmental components. Synthetic dye usage has increased in the textile and dyeing industries because of their ease and cost-effectiveness in synthesis, firmness, high stability to light, temperature and microbial attack. 10-25% of the total world production of dyes is lost during dyeing process and is released in the form of textile effluents [4,5]. The most common textile processing unit consists of desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing and dying process from which effluent waste is discharged . This results in the increase of BOD, COD, TSS and alteration of pH. The textile industry consumes large amounts of potable and industrial water as processing water (90-94%) and relatively low percentage as cooling water (6-10%) . Therefore, treatment of these industrial effluents is necessary prior to their final discharge to the environment. The textile manufacturing process is characterized by the high consumption of resources like water, fuel and a variety of chemicals in a long process sequence that generates a significant amount of waste . The common practices of low process efficiency result in substantial wastage of resources and a severe damage to the environment . The main environmental problems associated with textile industry are typically those associated with water body pollution caused by the discharge of untreated effluents .
The treatment of wastewater requires large amount of materials are to be supplemented. Nutrient rich wastewater instead of discharging into environment is supplemented for the growth of algae in the wastewater treatment . Thus nutrients can be reused and wastewater can be treated and thus reducing the negative impacts . The effective method to treat effluent is bioremediation process using algal technology. As the algae takes up N and P, the wastewater can be treated with algae .
Green growth is a various gathering of oceanic creatures that can lead photosynthesis. Certain algae are familiar to most people; for instance, seaweeds (such as kelp or phytoplankton), pond scum or the algal blooms in lakes. The expression «green growth» covers a wide range of living beings fit for delivering oxygen through photosynthesis (the way toward reaping light vitality from the sun to create sugars) . They can exist as single, microscopic cells and they can be macroscopic and multi-cellular that lives in colonies or take on a leafy appearance as in the case of seaweeds such as giant kelp. Phytoplankton is between 0.2 to 2 micrometers in diameter, while the fronds of giant kelp are as large as 60 meters in length. Algae are found in a range of aquatic habitats, both freshwater and salt water [8-11]. Recent studies on microalgae have a great deal of attraction as they have a potential of producing bio-fuel depending on the species and cultivation conditions . They can also spontaneously convert CO2 and nutrients into biomass in the presence of light at much higher rates than conventional oil producing crops .
Influence of algae to our environment and well-being is the generation of oxygen through photosynthesis. Algae are indispensable because they produce about half the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. Algal biofuels are a promising replacement for fossil fuels. All algae have the ability to produce energy- rich oils and several microalgae species naturally accumulate high levels of oil in their dry mass . Moreover, algae are found in diverse habitats and can reproduce quickly . They also efficiently use carbon dioxide. Green growth help to keep environmental carbon dioxide levels stable by putting away (the gas) in natural materials that incorporate oil stores and inorganic carbonate rocks. Green algae, diatoms and cyano-bacterium are just some of the microalgae species that are considered good candidates for the production of bio-fuel .
Green growth cost more per unit mass than other second-era bio-fuel trims Green growth are developing to be a standout amongst the most encouraging long haul, supportable wellsprings of biomass and oils for fuel, nourishment, sustain, and other co-items. What makes them so attractive are the large number and wide variety of benefits associated with how and where they grow .
Green growth can twofold their numbers like clockwork, can be gathered day by day, and can possibly create a volume of biomass and bio-fuel commonly more prominent than that of our most beneficial harvests. Microalgae can be developed to have a high protein and oil content, for instance, which can be utilized to deliver either bio-fuels or creature sustains, or both. What's more, microalgae biomass, which is rich in micronutrients, is as of now utilized for dietary supplements to propel human wellbeing . Algae thrive in nutrient-rich waters like municipal waste waters (sewage), animal wastes and some industrial effluents, at the same time purifying these wastes while producing a biomass suitable for bio-fuels production [3,5]. After oil extraction, the staying algal biomass can be dried and «pelletized» and utilized as fuel that is singed in mechanical boilers and other power era sources .
Conventionally micro algae are grown in Photo Bio Reactor (PBR) with the help of sunlight and white light. But apart from this many lights have more impact on the growth of algae. The growth of algae is directly proportional to intensity of light [12,14].
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) array, which can be supply only the wavelengths of light that will be most useful for algae growth. Green algae contain chlorophyll A and B in the ratio (3 chlorophyll A: 1 chlorophyll B). Chlorophyll A has two absorption peaks, the first around 430nm (blue/violet color) and the second at 660nm (deep red). Chlorophyll B absorption peaks are 460nm (blue) and 630nm (red) [5,9]. In more mature cultures, red and blue light is absorbed by the algae cells closest to the LEDs source .
The sample (effluent) was collected from the dye industry, Tirupur city-Tamilnadu-India and physico-chemical parameters of the dye effluent were analyzed before the treatment process. Algae species were cultured in Algae Culture Lab at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Sriperumbudur-Tamilnadu-India. Studies on growth pattern of algae species (10mL, 100mL) were carried out. Algae cultures were procured from the University of Madras, India and inoculated in 10ml boiler tubes kept at slanted positions in order to provide maximum and constant light intensity of 24 hours and 1800lux (measured via lux meter), to the micro-algae . Cell count was taken at regular interval and the algae which adapted well and grew fast was selected for further process .
Hemo-cytometer line method is used to estimate ell count of the micro algal culture. The no. of cells present in the matrix present on the Hemo-cytometer was observed under microscope with 10 X and 40 X resolutions and the no. of cells present was noted [10,12].
It is shown that from Table 1, Bold Basal Medium is used for fresh water algae and has micro and macro nutrients for the growth of algae .
A 50L capacity cane of dye effluent was collected from a textile industry from Tirupur city, Tamilnadu-India. To determine the standard levels to proceed further treatment process, 1L of the effluent was sent for physicochemical analysis. It is shown that from Table 2, The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), pH, Chlorine, Sulphate and Conductivity of Dye Effluent which was collected from a textile industry in Coimbatore is more and is needed to be reduced from the dye effluent by using algal technology.
The mother culture should be maintained to carry out the process. So, 9ml of BBM medium was taken and 1ml of the centrifuged algae culture was inoculated in it. The growth studies were monitored at regular intervals. Then, this 10ml of the culture was centrifuged and inoculated in 100ml of medium and growth studies were monitored. Cell count was taken using Hemo-cytometer and number of cell was calculated using growth rate formula. Three LED light (Red, Blue, and White) setup was designed and fabricated. The light arrangement was kept in a position to get 1800lux of light intensity. The prepared four 10ml algae culture was kept in three LED light setup and one in normal tube light for comparison. Cell count was taken at regular intervals till the declining phase.
It is shown that from Table 3, the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in normal tube light. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase.
It is shown that from Table 4, the cell count and the cell growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in fresh water and effluent with Red LED Light, the maximum growth rate was found at day 7 for fresh water and day 10 for effluent. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase.
It is shown that from Table 5, the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in fresh water and effluent with Blue LED Light. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase.
It is shown that from Table 6, the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in fresh water and effluent with White LED Light. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase.
Figure 1 shows the LED light setup which is used to stimulate the growth of algae by making it possible to achieve non-scattered required light intensity.
Figure 2 & 3 show the impact of LED light on the growth of algae. The effluent color changes from light bluish-green to green color, which confirms the growth of green algae in the effluent.
It is shown that from Table 7, the degradation of various chemical substituent's present in effluent by algal treatment using Blue LED Light.
It is shown that from Table 8, the degradation of various chemical substituent's present in effluent by algal treatment using White LED Light. The most essential parameters directing algal development are supplemented amount and quality, light, pH, turbulence, saltiness and temperature. The most ideal parameters and also the endured ranges are species particular. Groupings of cells in phytoplankton societies are by and large higher than those found in nature. Similarly as with all plants, smaller scale green growth photosynthesizes, i.e. they absorb inorganic carbon for change into natural issue. Light is the wellspring of vitality which drives this response and in such manner power, otherworldly quality and photoperiod should be considered. Light force assumes a vital part; however the necessities fluctuate enormously with the way of life profundity and the thickness of the algal culture: at higher profundities and cell fixations the light power must be expanded to enter through the way of life, a light force of 1800lux was us utilized for this culture. LED's in Blue and the Red light spectrum was used as these are the most active portions of the light spectrum for photosynthesis. The duration of artificial illumination was minimum 12h of light per day. The pH range for Chlorella vulgaris culture was between 8 and 9. Blending was important to counteract sedimentation of the green growth, to guarantee that all cells of the populace are similarly presented to the light and supplements, to keep away from warm stratification and to enhance gas trade between the way of life medium and the air. The latter is of primary importance as the air contains the carbon source for photosynthesis in the form of carbon dioxide. The temperature for the culture growth was between 25 and 30 °C. It is shown that from Table 2, The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), pH, Chlorine, Sulphate and Conductivity of Dye Effluent which was collected from a textile industry in Coimbatore is more and is needed to be reduced from the dye effluent by using algal technology. Table 3 represents the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in normal tube Light. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase. Table 4 represents the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in fresh water and effluent with Red LED Light, the maximum growth rate was found at day 7 for fresh water and day 10 for effluent. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase. Table 5 represents the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in fresh water and effluent with Blue LED Light. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase. Table 6 represents the cell count and the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris in fresh water and effluent with White LED Light. The cell count was stopped when it reached the decline phase. Table 7 shows the degradation of various chemical substituent's present in effluent by algal treatment using Blue LED light. Table 8 shows the degradation of various chemical substituent's present in effluent by algal treatment using White LED light. The experiment was carried out successfully and the results obtained were appreciable. But comparatively the LED light exposure has played a crucial role in giving a qualitative effluent when compared to normal tube light. This experiment which has been carried out at lab scale is the first step to reach greater heights by implementing this technology at pilot scale.
The result acquired from the experiments shows that the growth of algae can be stimulated by the intensities of various lights sources. LED's critically conserves energy as it requires only less electric energy when compared with Fluorescent lights to produce the same light intensity. It does not produce undesirable wavelengths of light which results in more energy consumption. LED lights play a vital role in production of biomass in less time than the time required by normal tube lights. Experiments conducted in the current research showed that, the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris increased by 5.31%, 3.72%, and 6.31% respectively in presence of LED's (Red, Blue and White). Also the study proved that the productivity of algae increased especially in red, blue and white LED light when compared with normal tube lights. The study also clearly proves that the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is reduced significantly by 15%, COD by 23.7%, BOD by 93% and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) by 99.8% under Blue LED and under White LED, TDS is reduced by 20%, COD by 27.3%, BOD by 97%, and TSS by 99.99%. The result clearly shows that the biodegradation rate is significantly increased and physiochemical parameters varied for different wavelengths of Blue and White LED lights. Thus LED lights paves way for many research regions due to its significant properties and dynamic ability to sustain in all areas.

Q: Ordering data in python or excel I have a large csv file of unordered data. It consists of music tags. I am trying to group all of the similar tags together for easier analysis.
An example of what I have:
Band1, hiphop, pop, rap
Band2, rock, rap, pop
band3, hiphop, rap

The output I am looking for would be like:
Band1, hiphop, pop, rap
Band2, NaN,    pop, rap, rock
Band3 hiphop,   NaN, rap

What is the best way to sort the data like this?
I have tried using pandas and doing basic sorts in excel.

A: Read the file (simulated below). As you read each row, update a fieldnames set so that when you write the rows you can pass this set of generes to your dictwriter.
import csv

text_in = """
Band1, hiphop, pop, rap
Band2, rock, rap, pop
band3, hiphop, rap
"""

rows = [
    [col.strip() for col in row.split(",")]
    for row in text_in.split("\n")
    if row
]

fieldnames = set()
rows_reshaped = []
for row in rows:
    name = row[0]
    genres = row[1:]
    fieldnames.update(genres)
    rows_reshaped.append(dict([("name", name)] + [(genre, True) for genre in genres]))
fieldnames = ["name"] + sorted(fieldnames)

with open("band,csv", "w", encoding="utf-8", newline="") as file_out:
    writer = csv.DictWriter(file_out, fieldnames=fieldnames, restval=False)
    writer.writeheader()
    writer.writerows(rows_reshaped)

This should give you a file like:
name,hiphop,pop,rap,rock
Band1,True,True,True,False
Band2,False,True,True,True
band3,True,False,True,False

A: Basically removing your wide format and turning the data into a long format then turning the data into a one hot encoded dataframe which you can use as you please
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('./band_csv.csv',header=None)

new_df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['band','genre'])
for col in list(df.columns[1:]):
    temp_df = pd.DataFrame(columns=['band','genre'])
    temp_df.loc[:,'band'] = df.loc[:,df.columns[0]]
    temp_df.loc[:,'genre'] = df.loc[:,col]
    new_df = pd.concat([new_df,temp_df])

grouped_df = pd.get_dummies(new_df, columns=['genre']).groupby(['band'], as_index=False).sum()

Your grouped_df should look like
   band  genre_hiphop  genre_pop  genre_rap  genre_rock
0  Band1             1          1          1           0
1  Band2             0          1          1           1
2  band3             1          0          1           0

A: Here's an optional way that avoids for loops, just melting and pivoting the data to get to your output:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

df = pd.read_csv("./test.csv", names=['col1','col2','col3','col4'])

#melt on all but the first column
df = pd.melt(df, id_vars='col1', value_vars=df.columns[1:], value_name='genres')

#pivot using the new genres column as column names
df = pd.pivot_table(df, values='variable', index='col1', columns='genres', aggfunc='count').reset_index()

#swap non-null values with the column name
cols = df.columns[1:]
df[cols] = np.where(df[cols].notnull(), cols, df[cols])

+--------+-------+--------+-----+-----+------+
| genres | col1  | hiphop | pop | rap | rock |
+--------+-------+--------+-----+-----+------+
|      0 | Band1 | hiphop | pop | rap | NaN  |
|      1 | Band2 | NaN    | pop | rap | rock |
|      2 | band3 | hiphop | NaN | rap | NaN  |
+--------+-------+--------+-----+-----+------+

Camilla Hall takes another sip of her Coke and glances around the pub. Like the bird of her call sign, her eyes flutter about the place clocking in everyone. Couples, very few singles and a majority of groups. All normal. Quiet. But then again it is a Thursday evening, not exactly the prime time for a packed pub. Plus it's the week before pay day so for most of the blue collar folk around this area they're not rolling in it enough to be out celebrating.
Camilla isn't either but until recently the Spitfire that is her life had taken a shot to the engine and she'd been sent spiralling out of control. She'd landed hard on the ground and spent a long time lying there staring up at the skies she'd once soared over. Then her step-sister had held out her hand and she'd been lifted from her frozen state. Now, almost two years later she's on her way to feeling okay...ish. At least she has direction in life now. In fact she'd surprised even herself when her admission to UCL had been accepted. The essay and test she'd had to do wasn't easy and things had definitely changed a lot since she was at school but when that acceptance letter had come through Camilla felt herself soar again for the first time in a long time.
Maybe it was the high of that or maybe some screw had come loose in her head that made her agree to her step-sister's excited insistence on (God forbid) dating. Sophie had done so much for her already Cam didn't have the heart to say no. So she'd given in to the younger girl's whims, especially since Cam doesn't exactly have much to do these days but wait for Uni to start.
The first date she'd been a nervous wreck on and when the guy wasn't interested in a second, Cam hadn't taken it personally. The second one was better on her end but a complete disaster on his. And since then it had been a rollercoaster that never quite reached a peak. The tree-surgons, the plasterers, the bricklayers they'd all been content with her RAF past right up until the point she'd reveal she plans on going to University. Cam could pinpoint the exact moment they realised that for some reason she might be above them due solely on that fact. Suffice to say they weren't interested in a call back. But those blue collar guys, she could handle. It was the suits that she had a bigger problem with. The posh boys who'd thank her for her service to the country but couldn't imagine dating a woman who's ex-air force. The ones who'd dismiss her intelligence or drive for not starting a career. Or even worse, the ones who would stare in disbelief, questioning her very prior career just because she doesn't fit into their stereotypes of a military woman.
The nerds? The 'footballers'? The hipsters? The artistic types?
No. Not compatible with her at all.
Thank God Sophie hadn't matched her with any of those types.
Cam circles the rim of her glass with a finger exhaling a small breath. This is the last one she decides. Maybe she's just not cut out for this love stuff. After all, none of her 'relationships' had ever made it past a month. Then again she never grew up witnessing a stable relationship, not within her home and not within her council estate surroundings. By the time her mum had met Sophie's dad Cam was already miles away mind already sculpted. It's not like she's not aware of her biases. She knows not every guy is like her dad and she knows she's not her mum but getting attached to someone like that is...difficult for her to say the least.


On the 23th October the representatives of the Colombian-German Peace Institute – CAPAZ held a meeting in Bogotá with Tom Koenigs, commissioner of the German government for the peace process in Colombia.
CAPAZ was represented by the director of the consortium in Colombia, Prof. Dr. Camilo Borrero (Universidad Nacional de Colombia); Dr. Carlos Nupia, manager of the CAPAZ Institute; Prof. Dr. Angelika Rettberg (Universidad de Los Andes); Carolina Cerón, administrative and financial coordinator, and Claudia Maya, assistant for communications and public relations. The meeting was also attended by Mrs. Bettina Beywl, representing the German Federal Foreign Office and Mr. Ferdinand Jerich, of the German Embassy in Bogota.
Tom Koenigs was very satisfied with the institute's activities and progress, that were presented by Dr. Carlos Nupia, who reported about the development of CAPAZ's projects, summer/winter schools and workshops. The commissioner emphasized the importance of the commitment of CAPAZ to promote research cooperation between German and Colombian universities.
Koenigs underlined the significance of the assistance in the context of the peace process in Colombia that should be political as well as academic. In this sense, Koenigs emphasized the role of peace institutes around the world, acting as knowledge entities that catalyze cooperation between countries. In the Colombian case, cooperation with Germany must be reciprocal, with an emphasis on human capital. "Colombian students in Germany are a source of inspiration. Cooperation between the two countries must be at the same level", said Koenigs. The challenge is to identify how to make the peace process in Colombia sustainable and permanent. "The idea is to promote continuity, sustainability in long-term partnerships", said the German delegate.


Video Poker is a computerized casino game originally based on five-card draw poker. Although it is based on what is essentially a centuries-old activity (poker), Video Poker's invention could be seen as the very first step in the path toward online gambling, as it was the first successful game to combined casino games with new video technology.
The story began in the mid-1970s, when computers were almost as big as houses and cost about as much. The idea of owning a personal computer was only in its infant stages, and gambling software manufacturers were reluctant to take a gamble on the new technology.
Thank goodness for pioneers like William (Si) Redd, who was plying his trade as a distributor for US gambling firm Bally. Redd was influential in the selection of new slot machines, but company executives rejected his pitch for a game called Video Poker, perhaps because they considered it too risky.
Bally still exists, but Video Poker is the one that got away. Like all great inventors, Redd displayed perseverance and managed to convince his superiors to let him have the patent on Video Poker. Within only a few months he signed an agreement with Reno-based Fortune Coin Company and formed his own business under the name "Sircoma" (Si Redd's Coin Machines). As you would expect, it took a few years for Video Poker to catch on, but by the time the 1980s had come round Video Poker had become a regular fixture at many leading land-based casinos.
The earlier form of Video Poker was based on Draw Poker, where the lowest possible hand was a two-pair. Later, this was changed to a pair of jacks, which helped boost Video Poker's appeal as players had a higher chance of winning. As you would expect, the original machines were much like the TVs at the time - today you would more likely find them on a scrapheap than in a casino or someone's lounge. At the time, however, they were at the cutting edge of technology.
As Si Redd's Video Poker invention took off, Sircoma changed its name to one that still stands today - International Game Technology (IGT). His machines took over casino floors in the 1980s, and many other variations were introduced including Spin Poker, Multi-Strike Poker and other forms of poker that were suitable for video technology.
Jacks or Better, the game that sparked Video Poker's growth, remains one of the most popular forms of the game. It can be found at most land-based casino establishments in the United States, and has received a boost in worldwide popularity thanks to its presence at most of the leading online casinos.
Just think: If Si Redd had listen to the Bally executives and continued in his day job, we would never have had Video Poker, and the online casino world would be poorer without it.
Like all casino games, Video Poker has its own special terminology. Many of the words come from regular poker, while others are unique to Video Poker itself.
Action: The total amount of money a player wagers.
Bet Max: The Maximum Bet on a particular game, which on a standard machine is usually five coins per hand.
Cycle: The average number of hands it takes for the machine to hit a jackpot. The jackpot is usually won with a royal flush, which happens at a rate of around once every 40,000 hands.
Discard: A card you decide to throw away.
Flush: Five-card hand in which all cards are of the same suit.
Four of a Kind: A hand where four cards have the same value, and a fifth has no effect.
Full House: Hand containing three of a king and a pair.
Full Pay: The best possible pay table for a particular game. A full-pay version of a game of Jacks or Better usually has a nine-coin win for full house and six-coin win for flush.
Hand: The five cards dealt on your video poker screen.
Hold: Keeping a card rather than discarding it.
Jackpot: The maximum bonus, usually for hitting the royal flush.
Pair: Two cards of the exact same value, such as two queens or two 4s.
Pat Hand: A hand that cannot be improved upon after the initial deal. This could be a royal flush, straight, four of a kind or a full house.
Pay Back: Expected return on game after millions of hands.
Payout: The amount a Video Poker machine pays the player for any specific hand.
Pay Table: List of possible payouts, which is displayed on the front of the machine or online game. The Pay Table gives an indication of the Pay Back you will receive for each possible scenario.
RNG -Random Number Generator: A computer program that generates random numbers, ensuring that each hand you receive will be completely random and different from the one before and after it.
Royal Flush: The best possible hand, consisting of an Ace-high flush of the same suit.
Straight: Five consecutive numbers, such as 4-8 or 8-King.
Straight Flush: A straight in which all five cards are from the same suit.
Wild Card: Any card that can substitute for all other cards.
Winning Hand: A hand that pays a winning combination.
Most video poker games are played with a standard 52-card deck, with the exception of Joker Wild games which include jokers. Once you make a wager, press "Deal" and the game will randomly deliver you five cards from the deck. Choose which cards to discard and which to hold. The machine replaces your discarded cards with randomly chosen cards from the remaining deck. You are then paid out according to the value of your hand. Unlike other casino games, there is no specific House advantage.
The rules above apply to all forms of Video Poker. What varies between the different forms is the card ranks and the payout odds (seen on the Pay Table in each game).
All other combinations see your money go to the House.
Jacks or Better is a pretty straightforward game with a fairly straightforward basic strategy. This is not a game of skill in the same way as Texas Hold'em, in which you compete against real opponents and look for signs of bluffing. This is a game against a machine in which cards come out randomly. Having said that, there is a basic strategy you should follow when it comes to deciding which cards to discard and which to hold. This strategy maximizes your odds of winning.
Here is an explanation of that strategy. On the left hand side of the colon is the type of initial hand, and on the right hand side is the strategy you should adopt in those circumstances.
Royal Flush or Straight Flush: Hold all cards. You will receive the maximum possible payout for a Straight Flush, and in some cases receive an extra progressive jackpot for hitting the rarely sighted royal flush.
Four of a Kind: Hold all cards. This is the second-best combination possible, and you cannot improve on it by discarding cards.
Full House: Hold all cards. This is the third-best combo and cannot be improved on by discarding cards.
Flush: Hold all cards, for same reasons to those given above.
Straight: Hold all cards, for same reasons.
Three of a Kind: Keep the three of a kind and discard the other two cards in the hope that you can form a better combination with two new cards.
Two Pairs: Keep the two pairs and discard the other card. Who knows, you might end up with a full house?
Jacks or Better: Hold the pat pair and discard the rest of the cards.
Other Cards: Obviously, if you are dealt anything lower than a Jacks or Better you don't qualify for a payout. In the case that you don't qualify for a payout, consider discarding your cards for better cards, or holding on to a Face Card (Jacks, Queen, King) or Ace if you have one.
Learn how to play actual poker before you start spending money on a video poker machine. Once you have the hang of general poker rules and have enjoyed playing against real opponents, Video Poker will feel a hell of a lot easier.
Try playing Video Poker without real money. Most online casinos allow you to play Jacks or Better or other Video Poker variants for play money, giving you the chance to put in as many hours of practice as you need before trying the real thing.
While playing for play money, try out as many different types of Video Poker as possible. Some online casinos only provide Jacks or Better, but some provide a whole range of similar games with the rules but different Pay Tables.
Read the Pay Table before you begin. This shows you what the payout is each for each combination of cards, and will help you form your strategy. Choose a machine with a good paytable - some machines will pay out as high as 99.5% and more, while others will only pay out at around 97%. This can make a big difference in the scheme of things if you are planning to play for a long time.
If you are holding the minimum winning hand, do not discard all five cards. You could potentially improve your winning hand by discarding one, two or three cards, but why give away all your cards if you're already guaranteed a win?
If you receive a straight draw (a hand that contains the potential for a straight), discard the cards you need to in an attempt to secure the straight. However, if you receive a flush draw, don't go for it as you are going against the initial cards you were dealt.
Play the Max Bet of five coins to keep yourself in the running for Royal Flush jackpot. If you can't afford the maximum bet, switch to a lower-denomination game. Trust us - you don't want to be in the position where you draw that once in a lifetime Royal Flush and don't receive the progressive jackpot because you decided to save a couple of coins on your bet.
Like all forms of online gambling, the most important thing about Video Poker is to have fun. You could potentially win and potentially lose, but remember to keep smiling and enjoying yourself.
Don't get emotional. As a general rule, poker, video poker and other card games are best played when you are cool, calm and collected. If you play angry, you're more likely to make bad decisions and lose more money.
And most important of all, remember that the game is completely random. It might feel like you're on a winning streak (which is great) or a losing streak (not so great), but one hand has no bearing on the one before it or the one after it.
