Biography of Mary Esther Wilson, 1878-1924
By Laura Tuennerman, Professor of History, and William Meloy, Research Librarian, California University of Pennsylvania
Suffrage Supporter, Businesswoman
Mary Esther Wilson was born on February 12, 1878 in Princess Anne, Maryland to merchant Levin James Wilson and Mary Evalyn Daugherty Wilson. She was the eldest of three children. According to the 1900 and 1910 censuses, she lived in her parents' Princess Anne home into her early thirties, and worked first as a stenographer and later as a public school teacher.
Around 1911 she moved to Clarksburg, West Virginia following her brother, Dr. James Edward Wilson. James had moved there to practice medicine in 1904 after completing his studies at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Baltimore. Mary Wilson established herself as a stenographer and auditor, eventually opening offices in the Goff building and starting the partnership of Wilson and Davis, stenographers. In the 1920 census she, and business partner Ethel Jane Davis, are listed as living as roomers in the home of Abram Hall, a Clarksburg dentist.
Wilson was a supporter of the movement to ratify the suffrage amendment in the state of West Virginia. She was one of the signatures on a letter to the President of the State Senate accompanying a petition from 1,709 women of Clarksburg "praying for the ratification of the Federal Suffrage Amendment." She was also, according to multiple sources, a director of the state's ratification committee, working with Chairman, Mrs. Ellis A. Yost. The state ratification committee was associated with the NAWSA.
After the ratification of the 19th amendment Wilson served as the secretary of the West Virginia League of Women Voters. She was also a member of the St Andrews Episcopal Church, and took a leading role in the service work of the Young Women's Christian Association, the Business and Professional Woman's Club and the Women's Club in Clarksburg.
Only a few years after the ratification of the 19th amendment Wilson died on September 13, 1924 of complications from surgery. Her obituary in the Clarksburg Exponent the following day recognized her as a "prominent business woman." On the day of her death she authored a will leaving Peerless Oil Company stocks to her siblings, and leaving the bulk of her estate - life insurance, stocks, her 50% share in Wilson and Davis and her personal belongings - to her partner, executor, and housemate, Ethel Jane Davis. On the evening of her death, Wilson's body was taken, by overnight train, from Clarksburg to Princess Anne, Maryland where she was buried near her childhood home.

This problem can occur if the WSPBCH32.MDB file, which holds the Batch Report Server settings or the WSPINDEX.MDB file, which holds the report catalog info somehow gets corrupted. Corruption can occur if the Batch Report Server program gets shut down abnormally or a PC is rebooted while the Batch Report Server program is open. Disk errors on the PC can also cause this problem.
Note: In this particular instance where the error is at Trace Point 200 it's most likely the WSPBCH32.MDB that got corrupted.

I'm settled in back on my little wooded acre after spending a week on the shore of Lake Superior. The impressive body of fresh water will always be home to me, having grown up in the city of her name, beside her shoreline and caught in the vagaries of her climate influence. I have hundreds of miles of her rocky banks and stone strewn beaches from which to choose when thinking of home.
The power of this body of water, holding sway over the land and people within her reach, is undeniable. She is both giver and taker of life, a touch point those of us who grew up under her omnipotent gaze return to for better or worse. Not just a setting, but a major character in our life stories.
There is a saying where I grew up, "If you don't like the weather here, wait five minutes, it's likely to change." That's not always as true as I would wish, especially in the depth of the often fiendishly cold winters, yet it is astonishing how quickly the weather can change once it decides to do so. From a cold, foggy morning in the middle of August to a sticky, steamy afternoon blown in on a shift of the wind. From thunderheads and downpour to a vermilion hued sunset, Lake Superior changes her moods on quicksilver whims.
Of all the places I have parked my wandering soul throughout the U.S. and across both of this county's borders, there is no place I find more serene nor feel more closely connected to earth's elemental cauldron of life, than a 30-mile stretch along the south shore of Lake Superior, off the beaten path and holding strong against the development we call progress.
Each summer that I visit this place I dream of once again living on the banks of Gitchi Gumii, this time in a spot where rotting and faded fishing boats of a bygone era stand as an homage to the brave men and women who settled the little villages still dotting the short stretch of shoreline. Natives and European immigrants who eked their living from the abundant resources in this fertile basin, sometimes sacrificing their lives, but never completely taming the wilderness, never wishing to subdue the land and water, only wanting to become a part of it.
That sentiment lingers among those who still live there. They are outsiders, formed outside the borders of dictated culture, having little or no contact with the mainstream – or want of it.
It's a surreal kind of place. I think I'd fit right in.
Authors Note: Along this little stretch of land is the access point for the Ice Caves along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. I was inspired to write a short story after a visit there. I hope to set a novel in this place on earth in the near future.

Movie of the week: buy "O Clã", by director Pablo Trapero, for US $ 3!
In addition to Free app of the week, every Thursday Apple chooses a Movie of the week, whose purchase is for $ 3. The title selected this time was The Cl, by director Pablo Trapero.
Check out his trailer:
Here's what Apple says about the movie:
Inspired by shocking real events, "The Cl" is a thrilling thriller. The story is based on the 1980s, after the political dictatorship of Videla, and tells the dark side of Arquimedes Puccio (Guillermo Francela), a psychotic gangster who depends on his own family and local corruption to continue committing a series of violent kidnappings of wealthy people. . The director relieves the tension of the film, contrasting the violence with a soundtrack pop cheerful and the cool colors and grainy effects give the tone necessary to take the viewer to the past. With sensational performances by Guillermo Francela and Peter Lanzanino in the role of their troubled son, a rugby player, this film is as exciting and exciting as the famous Hollywood thrillers. The final scene is one of the most impressive of all time.
As usual, our reader Renato Alan Promenzio (@tripalavra), who is a cardholder, also sent us a personalized comment about the film:
THE Movie of the week It didn't fascinate me, but that doesn't mean it's bad. His driving is very good, his script is faithful to the facts despite the black humor adopted at times for something so serious. Based on real events, the film details the life of a family manipulated by his father who commits heavy crimes. The performances surprised me, as did photography and, above all, the ability to make a well-produced film with a low budget. You can hardly see "O Cl" on open TV, maybe on some pay channels maybe. Therefore, it is up to you to buy / rent.

Q: Non-standard Julian day time stamp I have a timestamp in a non-standard format, its a concatenation of a number of elements. I'd like to convert at least the last part of the string into hours/minutes/seconds/decimal seconds so I can calculate the time gap between them (typically of the order of 2-5 seconds).
I have looked at this link but it assumes a 'proper' Julian time. How to convert Julian date to standard date?
My time stamp looks like this

1380643373

It is set up as ddd hh mm ss.s
This timestamp represent 138th day, 06:43:37.3
Is there a datetime method of working with this or do I need to strip out the various parts (hh,mm,ss.s) and concatenate them in some way? As I am only interested in the seconds, if I can just extract them I could deal with that by adding 60 if the second timestamp is smaller than the first - i.e event passes over the minute change boundary.

A: If you're only interested in seconds, you can do:
timestamp = 1380643373
seconds = (timestamp % 1000) / 10 # Gives 37.3

timestamp % 1000 gives you the last three digits of timestamp. Then you divide that by 10 to get seconds.
If it's a string, you can take the last three characters by slicing it.
timestamp = "1380643373"
seconds = int(timestamp[-3:]) / 10 # Gives 37.3

It's pretty easy to convert the timestamp to a datetime using the divmod() function repeatedly:
import datetime

base_date = datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0) # Midnight on Jan 1 2000

timestamp = 1380643373

timestamp, seconds = divmod(timestamp, 1000) # Gives 1380643, 373
seconds = seconds / 10 # Gives 37.3

timestamp, minutes = divmod(timestamp, 100) # Gives 13806, 43

days, hours = divmod(timestamp, 100) # Gives 138, 6

tdelta = datetime.timedelta(days=days, hours=hours, minutes=minutes, seconds=seconds) # Gives datetime.timedelta(days=138, seconds=24217, microseconds=300000)
new_date = base_date + tdelta

Tannery (Blacksmith's Shop) interior
Carpenter's Workbench
This workbench is strong and sturdy and has seen hard use over the years. It has two types of vises for holding wood as well as storage spaces below for tools. Shaker woodworkers created furniture for the community's use, but also for sale to non-Shakers or the "world's people." They built everything from chairs and tables to chests of drawers and their famous oval boxes.
This structure was likely built as a cider house, and appears on an 1820 map of Hancock. In 1835 it was enlarged to replace an earlier tannery and probably set on a one-story foundation. A date stone reading 1835 is set into the northeast corner foundation wall. Unique features of the building include a windlass in the attic to lift tanned hides into storage spaces, and a king post truss system which allowed the lower floors to be open while the building's frame was supported by distributing the weight from above. A blacksmith's shop is located in the ground level. A group of dedicated volunteers help staff the blacksmithing area. Learn more about volunteering at HSV.
By circa 1875 the Shakers could no longer compete with larger tanning industries in the area and suspended the business. They filled in the tanning pits and the building was converted to a cider press once again and a forge was added to the north end of the building.

There cometh the tarantula willingly: Welcome, tarantula! Black on thy back is thy triangle and symbol; and I know also what is in thy soul.
Revenge is in thy soul: wherever thou bitest, there ariseth black scab; with revenge, thy poison maketh the soul giddy!
Thus do I speak unto you in parable, ye who make the soul giddy, ye preachers of EQUALITY! Tarantulas are ye unto me, and secretly revengeful ones!
Because, FOR MAN TO BE REDEEMED FROM REVENGE—that is for me the bridge to the highest hope, and a rainbow after long storms.
Fretted conceit and suppressed envy—perhaps your fathers' conceit and envy: in you break they forth as flame and frenzy of vengeance.
What the father hath hid cometh out in the son; and oft have I found in the son the father's revealed secret.
Inspired ones they resemble: but it is not the heart that inspireth them— but vengeance. And when they become subtle and cold, it is not spirit, but envy, that maketh them so.
Their jealousy leadeth them also into thinkers' paths; and this is the sign of their jealousy—they always go too far: so that their fatigue hath at last to go to sleep on the snow.
In all their lamentations soundeth vengeance, in all their eulogies is maleficence; and being judge seemeth to them bliss.
They are people of bad race and lineage; out of their countenances peer the hangman and the sleuth- hound.
Distrust all those who talk much of their justice! Verily, in their souls not only honey is lacking.
And when they call themselves "the good and just," forget not, that for them to be Pharisees, nothing is lacking but—power!
There are those who preach my doctrine of life, and are at the same time preachers of equality, and tarantulas.
That they speak in favour of life, though they sit in their den, these poison-spiders, and withdrawn from life—is because they would thereby do injury.
To those would they thereby do injury who have power at present: for with those the preaching of death is still most at home.
Were it otherwise, then would the tarantulas teach otherwise: and they themselves were formerly the best world-maligners and heretic-burners.
With these preachers of equality will I not be mixed up and confounded. For thus speaketh justice UNTO ME: "Men are not equal."
And neither shall they become so! What would be my love to the Superman, if I spake otherwise?
On a thousand bridges and piers shall they throng to the future, and always shall there be more war and inequality among them: thus doth my great love make me speak!
Good and evil, and rich and poor, and high and low, and all names of values: weapons shall they be, and sounding signs, that life must again and again surpass itself!
Aloft will it build itself with columns and stairs—life itself: into remote distances would it gaze, and out towards blissful beauties— THEREFORE doth it require elevation!
And because it requireth elevation, therefore doth it require steps, and variance of steps and climbers! To rise striveth life, and in rising to surpass itself.
And just behold, my friends! Here where the tarantula's den is, riseth aloft an ancient temple's ruins—just behold it with enlightened eyes!
Verily, he who here towered aloft his thoughts in stone, knew as well as the wisest ones about the secret of life!
That there is struggle and inequality even in beauty, and war for power and supremacy: that doth he here teach us in the plainest parable.
Alas! There hath the tarantula bit me myself, mine old enemy! Divinely steadfast and beautiful, it hath bit me on the finger!
"Punishment must there be, and justice"—so thinketh it: "not gratuitously shall he here sing songs in honour of enmity!"
Yea, it hath revenged itself! And alas! now will it make my soul also dizzy with revenge!

Can you shower at Sydney Airport?
Yes, Sydney Airport has showers in several locations. Ticketed passengers can have a hot shower at Gates 31 and 51, and there are showers for men only at Gate 24. There are also general showers that anyone can use on the departures level, at check-in desks A and K. Bring your toiletries and travel towel—these facilities only provide the hot water.
How many airports are in Sydney?
There is only one airport in Sydney: Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD). The Bankstown Airport (BWU) is close to Sydney, at about 25km west of the city centre, but it isn't generally used for commercial flights. If you're convinced Sydney has another airport, you're probably thinking of Western Sydney International Airport, which is under construction in the town of Badgerys Creek and expected to be complete in 2026.
Can you walk between terminals at Sydney Airport?
It's easy to walk between Terminals 2 and 3 at Sydney Airport, but you'll need to take the shuttle or train to get to and from Terminal 1. Terminals 2 and 3 are the domestic terminals, and there's a walkway between them. Terminal 3 is the international terminal, and you have a few options for transport. Hop on the complimentary shuttle bus between 6am and 8:50pm for a 10-minute ride. In a hurry? You may want to spring for the fare (around $7) on the Airport Link train—that journey takes only two minutes once onboard, and operates from 5am to midnight.
Is Sydney both a domestic and international airport?
Yes, Sydney Airport has flights within Australia as well as internationally. It probably comes as no surprise that Sydney is Australia's busiest airport, but did you know that the Sydney to Melbourne flight route is one of the busiest in the entire world? International flights are no slackers either: The SYD international terminal handles nearly 15 million passengers per year.
How early do you need to arrive at Sydney airport for an international flight?
The usual rule for international flights is to arrive at least three hours before your departure time, and this is true for Sydney Airport as well. This should leave you enough time to check your bags, pass through customs and border protection, and grab some snacks before take off.

With the exception of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, the site of Her Majesty's has been associated with a playhouse longer than any other theatre in London. There have been four different buildings and numerous name changes and its early history as an opera house makes it a fitting home for the long-running success of The Phantom of the Opera.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of The Phantom of the Opera opened in 1986. Produced by Cameron Mackintosh, the original cast was led by Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. Subsequent casting has included Claire Moore, Dave Willetts, Michael Ball, John Barrowman, Peter Straker, Mike Sterling, Ramin Karimloo and Earl Carpenter.

Open Date: 9 Oct 86
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House, hides the Phantom in a shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégée Christine Daaé is so strong that even her heart cannot resist. The musical opened at Her Majesty's Theatre on 9 October...

New hunting regulation proposed for wolves in Wyoming
From UWBrandingIron.com:
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) proposed a new gray wolf hunting regulation that will allow the killing of 58 wolves in 2018.
According to large carnivore biologist Ken Mills, the WGFD manages the wolf-hunting season based on efforts to maintain the same target population from year to year. The current target population outside of Yellowstone National Park and the Wind River Reservation is 100 animals and at least 10 breeding pairs. A breeding pair is defined as a male and a female that live in a pack and raises at least two pups in a season.

Bespoke Porsche 911 Carrera S designed by Sid Neigum. At $177,170, including delivery charges, it's about $50,000 over the base price, but guaranteed it'll be the only one on the block.
For $1,000, customers can meet with Canadian fashion designer Sid Neigum who will help them come up with ideas for a car to reflect their personality, or at least their budget. It's a new service offered through Pfaff Autos of Vaughan, Ont. Two of Neigum's designs, a BMW 7 Series and an Audi Q7, have been sold.
Such factory customization has long been possible for premium brands. BMW Individual, Audi Exclusive and Mercedes-Benz Designo all offer one-off choices for paint, leather, woodwork and other design elements.
This bespoke Audi Q7 includes custom headlights.
It can cost thousands of dollars for a different paint job because it's no longer part of the assembly-line process. The paint must be approved, likely tested and verified, and the vehicle removed from the line and taken to a special painting facility.
Mercedes-Benz, however, is not so forgiving.
Mercedes offers an extensive range of factory-approved options through its Designo program, all created by designers in Germany to make the car original but not garish. "The amount of interior choices: colours, leather options, trim choices, even paint finishes, has expanded into more of a series-run of options, to give customers that choice without having to go through more of a personalized delivery process," said David Sherrard, national manager for product management.


Embassies and consulates, while similar, differ in location, size, and responsibilities.
Embassies and consulates serve the same purpose but are slightly different regarding capacity. An embassy can be defined as a diplomatic mission established in the capital of a foreign country with the sole purpose of acting as the representative of the home country. A consulate, on the other hand, is a smaller diplomatic mission that is usually located outside the capitals of the receiving state.
An embassy is located right in the heart of the capital city of the receiving state, and it is headed by an ambassador, and houses the offices where representatives work. The reason why embassies are located in the capital city is to make them easily accessible to their citizens in case of an emergency, such as during a war. All the main diplomatic talks between two countries are held in embassies especially when the discussions involve sensitive matters like wars and trade. The ambassador plays a substantial role in all of this as he/she is the spokesperson of the foreign country. Their work is to protect the interests of their land in the receiving country as well as acting as the intermediaries during negotiations. They report directly to their presidents back at home.
In comparison to an embassy, a consulate is much smaller regarding size and responsibilities. When the receiving country already has an embassy, the consulates are usually located in other towns away from the capital. A consulate is headed by a consul whose role is to assist their citizens in the host country. The main difference between an ambassador and a consul is that the ambassador represents the presidents which means that the host country can only have one ambassador and one embassy. A consulate, on the other hand, is tasked with specific roles which suggest that there can be more than one consulates in one country, each with their unique role independent of each other.
An embassy deals directly with the office of the president back home and their roles include transmitting messages between the two countries. It informs its government of significant political, economic, and social decisions that they feel may affect the relations between the two countries positively or negatively. It oversees the preparation of international treaties and organizes state visits. An embassy also promotes the culture of its home country by holding festivals and trade fairs. An embassy also oversees the military partnership between the home country and the host country when the need arises.
A consulate's biggest role is to its citizens who reside in the host country. They help renew and passports and other official documents that may be needed by their citizens. They report births, marriages, deaths, adoptions, divorces, and other significant personal events of its citizens back home. They inform its citizens about the safety in the event of an impending conflict in the host state as well as organizing help for them during emergencies and distress situations. When a foreigner is arrested, it is the work of the consulate to intervene by providing a lawyer for them and ensuring they get a free and fair trial according to the host country's laws.

San Jose: Man with knife arrested following 9-hour standoff
Suspect with restraining order went to home at King and McKee roads police say; neighbors evacuated
San Jose police were in a standoff with a man reportedly armed with a knife at a home near King and McKee roads in San Jose on Friday, Aug. 9, 2019. (Jason Green/Bay Area News Group)
By Robert Salonga | rsalonga@bayareanewsgroup.com, Jason Green | jason.green@bayareanewsgroup.com and Nico Savidge | nsavidge@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: August 9, 2019 at 4:04 pm | UPDATED: August 10, 2019 at 12:02 pm
SAN JOSE – Police on Friday night arrested a man following an hours-long standoff in East San Jose.
Officers were initially called to a home on King Road near McKee Road about 11:15 a.m. for a report of someone violating a restraining order, according to San Jose police officer Gina Tepoorten.
Police identified the man Saturday as Mark Bryan Canaveral, 33, of San Jose.
Tepoorten said the caller told police that two men, one of them the man who was the subject of the order, entered the home, prompting the people already inside to flee the residence.
Officers surrounded the home and sought to contact the men, but they refused to come out. About 2:30 p.m., officers tried to enter the home but saw Canaveral holding a knife and backed away, according to Tepoorten.
Authorities evacuated surrounding homes as a precaution and closed King Road between McKee Road and St. James Street to allow access for police and emergency vehicles.
About 4:30 p.m., the second man left the home and contacted police, according to Tepoorten. Authorities lifted the evacuation order and reopened the street, but a small police presence remained in the area.
Officers eventually went back inside the home and arrested Canaveral around 8:10 p.m., according to San Jose police Sgt. Enrique Garcia, bringing the standoff to an end about nine hours after it began.
Canaveral was taken to a hospital for treatment of self-inflicted injuries, Garcia said.
After being released from the hospital, Garcia said, he was booked into Santa Clara County jail on charges of violating a domestic violence restraining order and resisting arrest.

The US electric car manufacturer Tesla (TSLA) produced approximately 77,100 total vehicles, consisting of 62,950 Model 3 and 14,150 Model S and X during the first quarter 2019.
– Deliveries were approximately 63,000 vehicles, which was 110% more than the same quarter last year, but 31% less than last quarter. This included approximately 50,900 Model 3 and 12,100 Model S and X, Tesla said in the press release.
– Because of the lower than expected delivery volumes and several pricing adjustments, we expect Q1 net income to be negatively impacted. Even so, we ended the quarter with sufficient cash on hand.
Tesla said that in North America, Model 3 was agaon the best-selling mid-sized premium sedan, selling 60% more units than the runner up.
– We reaffirm our prior guidance of 360,000 to 400,000 vehicle deliveries in 2019, the company said.
Tesla shares were down today in New York trading by 7,75 % to 269,19 dollars. The company´s market cap is 46,15 billion dollars.

Violent games have no long term side-effects
by Nick Farrell on10 March 2017
Another study proves it
Yet another study has come out and denied that there is any long term psychological effects on people who play violent video games.
For those who have came in late, for the last decade or so violent video games have replaced television, movies, music hall, and witches as the cause of all humanities' ills, ranging from violent crime, declining morals and Donald Trump. Periodically a lynch mob of priests, concerned parents, nuns and retired colonels will get together to call for them to be banned.
A study released by German researchers found that playing violent video games has no long-term effects on empathy or aggression. Previously, a number of studies had suggested that playing video games could desensitize gamers toward emotional stimuli in the short term, causing them to display decreased empathy and increased aggression.
Gregor Szycik, the head researcher in the study said the research question arises first from the fact that the popularity and the quality of video games are increasing, and second, we were confronted in our clinical work with more and more patients with problematic and compulsive video game consumption.
A group of 15 males, who had played violent video games for an average of four hours everyday for the previous four years, was compared to a control group of the same size with no video game experience.
The participants were given an initial questionnaire to evaluate their capacity for empathy and aggression. They were then shown a series of images while in the fMRI scanner and asked to imagine how they would react to the situation in the images. The researchers studied the gamers' fMRI images to observe which parts of their brains were activated and compared the results to the control group.
Neither the initial questionnaire nor the fMRI findings displayed any difference in the levels of empathy or aggression for the two groups. This result suggested that any effects that video games have on perception and behavior may be short-lived.
"This study used emotionally-provocative images. The next step for us will be to analyze data collected under more valid stimulation, such as using videos to provoke an emotional response," Szycik said.
The study was the result of a collaborative effort between Gregor Szycik from Hannover Medical School, Bahram Mohammadi and Thomas F. Münte from the University of Lübeck and Bert T. te Wildt from Ruhr-University. The research article was published in the scientific journal, Frontiers in Psychology.

What a fun event. Looked like lovely weather for it, too.
It was fun. I wished I went there during the day. But the weather at night was much nicer and it was much less crowded. Thank you.
This event would of delighted me…thanks for sharing.
I am glad to hear and thank you Laurie!
Thank you so much for this update…this event looked very interesting and filled with wonderful colours!
I am sorry that I missed your comments. Thank you for your comments. Please have a lovely week ahead.
I am so sorry 😦 The NC State is one of the states in the United State.
I am glad you like the pictures. Singing with snake wrapped around anywhere would not be good in my opinion 🙂 Thank you.
Hi Charlotte. I think I still did not get right. One more time and my apology. NC is North Carolina, USA.
Thank you very much and please have a good weekend!
Looks like SPARKcon was a fun and inspiring event. You pictures are lovely and give an idea what it was. A great post!
Thank you that you like them. That is good to know there is this kind of event in other places too.
I think summer roll is the kind that is freshly wrapped (not fried) with fresh vegetables. I do not know much about food and I am probably wrong here.
Photos are very beautiful.Nice happy festival.
So generous are the people who share their art knowing that it won't last long. It makes me smile just to think that these wonderful artists are somewhere there in the world.
Me too, just see their beautiful works. I would like to see them drawing those.

Q: Element-wise tensor product for block matrices whos elements are 2x2 matrices I have a block matrix with its elements as 2x2 matrices numpy array, for example
X = np.array([[0, 1], [1, 0]], dtype=complex)
Y = np.array([[0, -1j], [1j, 0]], dtype=complex)
Z = np.array([[1, 0], [0, -1]], dtype=complex)

block_matrix = np.array([X,Y,Z])

I'm looking for a vectorised way(if it exists) where I could compute np.kron() without having to loop through each of the block matrix's elements(who themselves are 2x2 matrices again). Right now I have something like
def pl_rep_operation(matrix):

    op_sum = np.zeros((4,4), dtype=complex)
    tensored_seq = []
    for i in range(len(matrix)):
        tensored = np.kron(matrix[i], matrix[i].conj())
        op_sum += tensored
        tensored_seq.append(tensored)
    return op_sum, tensored_seq

where tensored_seq returns the original sequence with its block matrix element tensored and op_sum returns the element-wise sum of all tensored matrix elements. Output for example could be
op_sum, tensored_seq = pl_rep_operation(np.array([X,Y,Z]))
In[47]: op_sum
Out[47]:
array([[ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  2.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
       [ 2.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  1.+0.j]])

In[48]: tensored_seq
Out[48]:
[array([[0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 1.+0.j],
        [0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
        [0.+0.j, 1.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j],
        [1.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j, 0.+0.j]]),
 array([[ 0.+0.j, -0.+0.j, -0.+0.j,  1.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j, -0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -0.+0.j],
        [ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j]]),
 array([[ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j, -1.-0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.-0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.-0.j,  0.+0.j,  1.+0.j]])]

The elements of tensored_seq should be something like np.array([np.kron(X,X), np.kron(Y,Y), np.kron(Z,Z)]). I'm looking for some function np.func() or some way to vectorise this such that np.func(block_matrix, block_matrix) would return np.array([np.kron(X,X), np.kron(Y,Y), np.kron(Z,Z)]). Ideally, I want a vectorised way which also does
block_mat = np.array([[X, Y, Z], [X, Z, Y], [Z, Y, X]])
np.func(block_mat)

should return
np.array([[np.kron(X,X), np.kron(Y,Y), np.kron(Z,Z)],
          [np.kron(X,X), np.kron(Z,Z), np.kron(Y,Y)],
          [np.kron(Z,Z), np.kron(Y,Y), np.kron(X,X)]])

for example.

A: Working from my recent answer at
Why is numpy's kron so fast?
In [472]: X = np.array([[0, 1], [1, 0]], dtype=complex)
     ...: Y = np.array([[0, -1j], [1j, 0]], dtype=complex)
     ...: Z = np.array([[1, 0], [0, -1]], dtype=complex)
     ...:
     ...: block_matrix = np.array([X,Y,Z])
In [473]: block_matrix.shape
Out[473]: (3, 2, 2)
In [474]: temp=block_matrix[:,:,:,None]*block_matrix.conj()[:,:,None,:]
In [475]: temp.shape
Out[475]: (3, 2, 2, 2)
In [477]: temp = block_matrix.ravel()
In [478]: temp = block_matrix.reshape(3,4)
In [479]: temp = temp[:,:,None]*temp.conj()[:,None,:]
In [480]: temp.shape
Out[480]: (3, 4, 4)
In [481]: nz = temp.shape
In [482]: temp = temp.reshape(3,2,2,2,2)
In [483]: temp = temp.transpose(0,1,3,2,4).reshape(nz)
In [484]: temp.shape
Out[484]: (3, 4, 4)
In [485]: temp
Out[485]:
array([[[ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  1.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  1.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
        [ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j]],

       [[ 0.+0.j, -0.+0.j, -0.+0.j,  1.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j, -0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -0.+0.j],
        [ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j]],

       [[ 1.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j, -1.-0.j,  0.+0.j,  0.-0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.+0.j, -1.+0.j,  0.+0.j],
        [ 0.+0.j,  0.-0.j,  0.+0.j,  1.+0.j]]])

Which matches your tensored_seq.  If put together into a function, it should be faster than your 3 kron.  But I don't know if it's enough to extend.  The time penalty for 3 iterations on a relatively complex task is not great.
I would try to construct the last matrix with:
In [486]: res = np.array([[temp[0], temp[1], temp[2]],
     ...:                 [temp[0], temp[2],...

assuming you want a (3,3,4,4) result.  That's no more work than constructing
np.array([[X,Y,Z],[X,Z...])

Governor Mills signs new bills into law
AUGUSTA (WGME) - The state of Maine has hundreds of new laws on the books -- 651 to be exact. Gov. Janet Mills signed most of those bills this session, allowing another 45 to become law without her signature.
Most of the new law don't kick in until September -- 90 days after the Maine Legislature adjourned -- but some are already in effect.
These include an act to make ballot questions easier for voters to understand and another that requires kids to be screened for lead poisoning more often.
Starting in September:
-- Spouses who care for their disabled partners at home will qualify for Medicaid reimbursement.
-- Nonprescription drugs will be available in vending machines.
-- Drivers will no longer be allowed to hold a cellphone or any other electronic device behind the wheel.
-- Motorist will also have to yield to transit buses on some roads.
-- E-cigarettes will be banned on school grounds.
-- It will be easier for non-profits to have raffles, and a portion of lottery winners' prize money will go toward paying any outstanding court fines they have.
Looking further into the future, single-use plastic bags will be banned statewide next April. Come 2021, business with 10 or more employees will have to give them as much as 40 hours of paid time off and later that year, families will no longer be allowed to opt-out of school vaccinations for non-medical reasons.
The governor is holding onto a few dozen bills for further review until the next legislative session. Those include bills to allow sports betting, and ban pet shops from selling dogs and cats.
Once the session starts, she will have three days to act on them.

La Palina premium handmade cigars represent a marriage of the finest tobacco leaves blended by master artisans. The blends are smooth and well-rounded, cigars of elegance and finesse. The draw is easy, the burn is even, and the construction is flawless: an unforgettable experience. Blended by AJ Fernandez for La Palina!
Wanting to offer a new smoking experience, La Palina owner Bill Paley teamed up with Nicaraguan cigar manufacturer A.J. Fernandez. Together they developed the La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro, the first of its kind from the notorious cigar makers. The package has been redesigned with a black and gold band with an "LP" insignia replacing matriarch Goldie's portrait. All the hard work has paid off and the Nicaragua Oscuro is a fine addition to the La Palina premium cigar profile. La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro Toro would make an excellent rotation in your humidor.
Nicaraguan long-filler and binder lay inside a savory, medium brown Ecuadorian Oscuro wrapper leaf. The medium to full-bodied Nicaragua Oscuro has notes of black pepper, roasted coffee beans, and a hint of sweet citrus. The cigar intensifies as it burns, but in no way becomes harsh on the palate.
On a frigid winter night, a hot toddy or coffee would be a perfect pairing with La Palina Nicaragua Oscuro Toro. But on days when the sun is shining and it's unseasonably warm, how about a refreshing rum drink? Keeping the winter season in mind, a spicy, herbal drink is a perfect accompaniment to your stogie. I bring to you an original cocktail from Nicaraguan rum producer, Flor de Caña. Happy Winter Solstice!

Well it has been MASSIVELY to long since I last posted anything here. I do have lots of plans on other posts to write, it's just finding the time. Now that the rock climbing session is over I'll hopefully be able to write more here.
So along side the PHP secure login class I'm making a utilities class (only just started) which will have just some generally useful methods. It's not a unified class so the methods in it can easily be copied out and put into another class or just as a plain old function.
Currently the only method I've added is one to break apart a MySQL datetime string into an array so you can display it in a different order to your users easily. I do have others made to add but they require a little more testing first.
Here is a link to the Google Code site which I just made so there's not much on it, just this method in a class and a short description of the class.
The only part which I've copied from someone else is the regular expression which validates the MySQL datetime string, I just don't understand regular expressions well enough to write my own of check this one but so far in my testing it seems to have worked. If you know something I don't feel free to leave a comment or get in contact with me!


It would have been cool if today was 11/11/11 instead of 11/12/12, because this is the 1,100th post on the Emerging Runner. It's amazing to think that since November 18, 2008, I've published approximately 275,000 words about one thing: running. But with 726 keywords in my tag cloud, there's been a lot more to talk about than that.
The rain this morning was only surpassed by the wind and I stayed indoors for my workout. I originally planned a treadmill run but decided to maintain my schedule that includes an elliptical session on Thursdays. I'm hoping that the rain moves out by tomorrow morning so I can get outside for my morning run. It doesn't look too promising. I snapped a photo out my office window at 7:15 AM and it looks like a monsoon at midnight.


I'm very pleased to show some of my favorite photos from Sarah and Brian's wedding. Sarah and her bridesmaids got ready at the Princeton Marriott Hotel and Conference Center at Forrestal. The ceremony was at the Princeton University Chapel and the reception took place at Princeton's Forbes College. We also stopped for some photos at Prospect House garden.

In my wildest fantasy I own a house with an infinitely large room which I use for storage. I store every moment of my experience, and have available to me a device with which I can instantly retrieve all stored items.
I will – with my magical device which passes all understanding!
Why are wives so full of the right logic? Such inverterate spoilers of wild fantasies?
If the past is unknowable, so is the present and so must be the future — including our future.
Every present becomes the past — in an instant. William James talks about a specious present, an awareness which varies but is never very long. So the past can only be known as an edited version of the present. It cannot be complete. Our records of the past are either documented or preserved in personal memory. Neither can be complete.
Therefore any claim to know the past except as a reconstructed conjecture fails to meet our highest standards of accuracy and our most desired expectations. To be truthful about the past is, at best, a noble attempt to reconstruct the present from past clippings. At worst it is self-delusion which may also delude others unintentionally: it surely has such an effect.


I have a 7168 Scanner Card in my Keithley 7001 Switch System.
I have encountered a problem, there is a resistance between the L terminals of almost all channels.
and measured the resistance again today (2012-12-03) and it was around 80 Ohm (between L on channel 7 and 8). This is not just between 7 and 8 but between all channels, but the resistance differ a little between the channels.
I want the resistance to be infinity, and it apears to be on its way to it... but is there something i can do to hurry the process and any idea of what i may have done to the card to create this effect?
Problem solved, one of the battery piles was a little loose.

Structure and assembly of the mitochondrial membrane remodelling GTPase Mgm1
Faelber, K. and Dietrich, L. and Noel, J.K. and Wollweber, F. and Pfitzner, A.K. and Mühleip, A. and Sánchez, R. and Kudryashev, M. and Chiaruttini, N. and Lilie, H. and Schlegel, J. and Rosenbaum, E. and Hessenberger, M. and Matthaeus, C. and Kunz, S. and von der Malsburg, A. and Noé, F. and Roux, A. and van der Laan, M. and Kühlbrandt, W. and Daumke, O.
Balanced fusion and fission are key for the proper function and physiology of mitochondria. Remodelling of the mitochondrial inner membrane is mediated by the dynamin-like protein mitochondrial genome maintenance 1 (Mgm1) in fungi or the related protein optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) in animals. Mgm1 is required for the preservation of mitochondrial DNA in yeast, whereas mutations in the OPA1 gene in humans are a common cause of autosomal dominant optic atrophy-a genetic disorder that affects the optic nerve. Mgm1 and OPA1 are present in mitochondria as a membrane-integral long form and a short form that is soluble in the intermembrane space. Yeast strains that express temperature-sensitive mutants of Mgm1 or mammalian cells that lack OPA1 display fragmented mitochondria, which suggests that Mgm1 and OPA1 have an important role in inner-membrane fusion. Consistently, only the mitochondrial outer membrane-not the inner membrane-fuses in the absence of functional Mgm1. Mgm1 and OPA1 have also been shown to maintain proper cristae architecture; for example, OPA1 prevents the release of pro-apoptotic factors by tightening crista junctions. Finally, the short form of OPA1 localizes to mitochondrial constriction sites, where it presumably promotes mitochondrial fission. How Mgm1 and OPA1 perform their diverse functions in membrane fusion, scission and cristae organization is at present unknown. Here we present crystal and electron cryo-tomography structures of Mgm1 from Chaetomium thermophilum. Mgm1 consists of a GTPase (G) domain, a bundle signalling element domain, a stalk, and a paddle domain that contains a membrane-binding site. Biochemical and cell-based experiments demonstrate that the Mgm1 stalk mediates the assembly of bent tetramers into helical filaments. Electron cryo-tomography studies of Mgm1-decorated lipid tubes and fluorescence microscopy experiments on reconstituted membrane tubes indicate how the tetramers assemble on positively or negatively curved membranes. Our findings convey how Mgm1 and OPA1 filaments dynamically remodel the mitochondrial inner membrane.

Sugar and spice, not everything's nice…
A deep dive into the risks of the UnitedHealth and Change Healthcare merger
UnitedHealth's acquisition of Change Healthcare has come with its fair share of controversy. (And rightly so.)
What if there was an opportunity to make the biggest health insurance conglomerate in the United States even more powerful by equipping them with boatloads of sensitive health data?
Imagine no more. In January 2021, UnitedHealthcare (United) subsidiary Optum announced its intention to purchase the tech company Change Healthcare (Change) for $13 billion. For background, Change Healthcare is an enormous administrative network that processes claims and medication requests for physicians and pharmacies. In other words, it's a "whole lotta data." With the acquisition of the tech company, United gains access to a significant store of providers' financial and clinical data, accelerating and supporting the expansion of its provider business.
The purchase was not without a lot of scrutiny, however (and rightly so). By spring of 2021, the Department of Justice (DOJ) was already looking into the acquisition after the American Hospital Association (AHA) raised concerns over antitrust behavior.
There have been several concerns flagged since then:
The AHA worried this purchase could squelch competition for the sale of healthcare IT services to other providers. The AHA was also concerned that the acquisition would put a sizable portion of the country's healthcare data into the hands of a single entity. (Umm, we agree.)
The DOJ asserted that UnitedHealth Group's most recent conquest would raise costs and harm competition in not only health insurance markets, but also technology used by health insurers to process insurance claims and reduce healthcare costs.
As expected, providers are also expressing concerns. The reason? Change owns InterQual, a clinical decision-making tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to help providers and clinical staff determine the right level of care and most appropriate resources. Because United has a reputation for being in the business of denying claims (like mental health care) and making seemingly arbitrary calls about what constitutes medical necessity, some worry that they will manipulate the InterQual algorithm.
In other words, once United owns Change, they may no longer have to wait until care is delivered to deny the claim; they could move further upstream and ensure that the care isn't delivered in the first place.
It's all a lot of "mights" and "maybes," but a recent article in ProPublica gets a little more grounded –
United's own internal documents showed that the consultants they hired to evaluate the deal admitted "that UnitedHealth could 'utilize transactions intelligence' from Change's claims data to 'optimize benefit design' for UnitedHealthcare."
In addition, "Change's data could yield 'improved medical policy and benefit design' for UnitedHealthcare, the deal team wrote in a subsequent memo."
But even after being presented with evidence that United had discussed using Change's data to gain a competitive advantage, the judge accepted United's claims that the company would never do such a thing.
The judge more or less said, "I'll take your word for it…" and the deal is moving ahead.
All despite the fact that United's CEO Andrew Witty made it clear that data analytics are central to a sweeping vision to place United at the center of almost any healthcare transaction in the U.S.
Looks like United's 'evil empire' is getting some more guns in its arsenal, but when the consequences come back on consumers, don't say we — and the DOJ, and the AHA, and providers everywhere — didn't warn you.

Q: Mlapi RPC Attributes I was following the tutorial about 'Mlapi' in Unity. In the tutorial, I have a question when I studying about RPCs.
So the question I have is

*

*When I make a method with the ServerRpc attribute how does the 'Mlapi' handle that method? According to 'Mlapi' documentation, All I have to do to call the ServerRpc function is just making a direct function call with parameters. But what happens when I call the method marked by ServerRpc? What I did was just calling the method marked by the ServerRpc attribute. But how the 'Mlapi' get method marked by the ServerRpc attribute or other Rpc attribute I wrote? And how does the 'Mlapi' call the method from the client and execute it on another machine?

A: RPC is a well-documented concept. You should look up some references.  The RPC client "marshals" your parameters into a format that can be transmitted via network, and sends them with information that tells the other side which function you are calling.  The RPC server on the other end "unmarshals" those parameters back into binary structures and calls the function.  It then "marshals" the return value and ships it back to the client, where it gets "unmarshalled" back to you.
The RPC server knows which services it is offering, so it's not just calling random functions.
