Winschoten a fost o comună și o localitate în provincia Groningen, Țările de Jos.

În vechime, Winschoten era capitala districtului Oldambt, situat într-o regiune agricolă fertilă. Winschoten primit drepturile de oraș în 1825. Acesta a fost ultimul oraș din Țările de Jos, care a primit astfel de drepturi. Steagul orașului avea trei dungi orizontale albastru - alb - albastru, în raport de 1:3:1, pe cea albă este conturată cu roșu o cetate cu nouă bastioane. Acest steag fusese adoptat în 23 mai 1973 prin rezoluție municipală.

Winschoten avea o gară pe linia de la Groningen la Leer (Germania), precum și un drum care îl conecta la restul Olandei, prin intermediul autostrăzii A7. Gara a fost inaugurată la 1 mai 1868 pentru linia Groningen - Winschoten - Niuweschans. Aceasta a fost cea de-a doua gară pusă în funcțiune de către Compania de exploatare a Căilor Ferate de Stat (Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (SS)), precum și o parte a traseului, de la Harlingen, Friesland pentru a Nieuweschans (construit 1863-1868). În prezent, acest traseu este operat de Arriva.

Mori de vânt
Pe timpuri existau 13 mori de vânt în Winschoten, până în prezent fiind conservate doar trei mari și monumentale. Aceste mori erau deținute de Consiliul Local și întreținute de voluntari morari. Ele constituie o caracteristică importantă a peisajului urban.

Molen Berg, construită în anul 1854 la Grintweg, a fost concepută pentru a măcina porumb. Primul proprietar a fost J. D. Buurma. Neobișnuitul design al velelor cu lame mobile, asemănătoare cu jaluzele venețiene, a fost o inovație la vremea sa.

De Dijkstra Molen pe Nassaustraat a fost construită în 1862 de către D.E. Dijkstra. În 1953, nepotul proprietarului original a vândut-o către administrația locală. A fost restaurată n 1982/1983 și în 1995/1996.

Molen Edens, pe Nassaustraat 14, a fost construită în 1763 după planurile lui Jurrien Balles și ale lui Antje Gerbrands. Mai târziu, proprietarii au fost Jurrien Joesten și G. Eikema. Apoi, din 1855 până în 1960 au deținut-o diferite generații ale familiei Edens. Administrația locală a cumpărat-o în 1960. Aceasta este cea mai veche moară de vânt în întreaga provincie Groningen.

Biserici
Există numeroase biserici protestante în fosta Winschoten, inclusiv un ansamblu al Fraților Plymouth. Cea mai veche biserică datează din secolul al XIII-lea și este construită în stil gotic amestecat cu stil roman. Există o biserică reformată olandeză în Marktplein. O clopotniță independentă din secolul al XVI-lea era una din caracteristicile Winschotenului.

Există o biserică romano-catolică dedicată sfântului Vitus, construită de Alfred Tepe în 1880. Acesta este o biserică neo-gotică cu vitralii de Kocken și gresie de Freitag din Münster. Altarul a fost inițial în biserica Saint Boniface în Nieuwe Pekela, iar când aceasta a fost demolată altarul a fost adus la Winschoten pentru a-l înlocui pe cel vechi.

Exista mai demult o înfloritoare comunitate evreiască, în 1940 Winschoten având a doua cea mai mare comunitate de evrei din Olanda după Amsterdam. În timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial, Winschoten a fost un port de tranzit către Germania Nazistă pentru transporturile de evrei. Din cei 493 de evrei care locuiau în Winschoten la începutul războiului, doar 20 au supraviețuit.

Limba
În timp ce neerlandeza standard este cunoscută de majoritatea locuitorilor și mulți tineri știu limba germană și engleză, limba preferată în viața de zi cu zi este limba saxonă de jos din Groningen. Varietatea din Winschoten a dialectului Groningen are o brumă de cuvinte din ebraică (și idiș), ceea ce reflectă comunitatea evreiască proeminentă mai demult, care locuia aici de la 1700.

 Piet Hamberg (1954), fotbalist și manager de fotbal

NY developer moves executives to Nashville, teases future projects
Jul 1, 2020, 12:35pm CDT
A real estate developer from New York is so smitten with Nashville that it's opening a permanent office in mid-July — and tipping its hand about where its next projects will occur.
Somera Road Inc. announced that three employees will move from New York to Nashville, to elevate what had been a part-time office into a full-time operation. Two of those three transplants will jointly lead the Nashville office: Joe LeMense, the company's vice president of construction, and Jonathon Reeser, vice president of acquisitions. Somera Road will look to hire three additional employees in Nashville, for what it's dubbing a "second headquarters."
Somera Road illustrates how quickly so many out-of-state developers have become smitten with the city's growth, prospects and vibe. Somera Road joins a growing group going as far as opening an office in the city.
Somera Road sealed its debut investment less than three years ago, buying a former Gibson Guitar warehouse in the Gulch. Today, it's home to two entertainment concepts, Pins Mechanical Co. and 16-Bit Bar+Arcade. Somera Road's other developments include revitalizing an industrial building in Wedgewood-Houston, spending $18 million to buy an office building in MetroCenter, and paying $30 million at the end of 2019 for 2.6 acres of land near the Gulch on Eighth Avenue South, including the Voorhees Building.
Ian Ross, founder and managing principal of Somera Road, said Nashville sits in the "pole position" of all the markets the company invests in (referring to the most favorable spot to begin a car race).
"Nashville's proximity to other focal markets with active projects, such as Memphis, Louisville, Kansas City and Indianapolis, is an added perk," Ross said in a statement. "These cities allow for increased productivity, improved retention and a happier and more fulfilled workforce – allowing people to embrace some of the American Dream elements that have become out of reach in high-cost gateway cities."
Somera Road said new projects will "be announced shortly across Wedgewood-Houston, Germantown and East Nashville."
"In addition to being a thriving city with a diversified employment base, Nashville's location is ideal for us as we continue to expand our platform, located within a two-hour drive or flight to the majority of our portfolio," Ross said. "And most importantly, our team and our families have fallen in love with the city."

Distinguished by close harmonies, catchy melodies and potent lyricism, the T Sisters have created a refreshing brew of indie-folk/Americana music. Blood sisters Erika, Rachel and Chloe Tietjen flow seamlessly between styles and moods, from roots to pop and sassy to sincere, captivating listeners with their eclectic sound and soaring harmonies. This past spring, the T's journeyed to Nashville to create a compelling EP with renowned artist/producer Oliver Wood of The Wood Brothers. While T Sisters' prior releases delved into personal themes, this project represents a more mature and reflective chapter for the sisters, exploring deeper subjects of societal division, dubious authority, spiritual renewal and activism through music. Adding to the T Sisters' self-accompaniment and inimitable sibling harmonies, We Are Bound features the distinctive playing of Jano Rix (The Wood Brothers), Chris Wood (The Wood Brothers; Medeski, Martin and Wood) and Oliver himself. Oliver says of the T's,"Coming from a brother band, I especially appreciate the T Sisters. The soul of the family comes through their combined voices, and they create that sound that only family can get.

Lady Buffs win conference title
By DOUG THOMPSON
The celebration. The trophy. The Lady Buffaloes. Conference champs for 2016.
It wasn't even close.
The Lady Buffaloes finished a strong conference tournament run Saturday night in Martinsville with a 76-30 thumping of the Glenvar Highlanders, a team that has played them closer in the regular season that just ended.
Outscoring the Highlanders each quarter, the Highlanders didn't make the basket once in the fourth period and the Conference win gives Floyd home court advantage to open regional play Monday night against Dan River at 6 p.m.
Natalie Boothe led scoring with 17 points, Ashley Gallimore put in 14 while Abi Belshan and Ragan Wishman added 13 apiece.
Boothe downed five three pointers.
Tickets go on sale at 5:00 p.m.
Ragan Wiseman also got honors at the top player in the regional tournament.
Ashley Gallimore scores for the Lady Buffs
Macey Jones heads to the floor while fighting to control the ball.
So many arms and hands trying to stop Natalie Booth from trying to score. The tactics didn't work. She had 14 points, including five three-pointers.

A Hard-Working Black Father Is in Jail Because a Babysitter Abandoned His Kids
His wife was recently diagnosed with stage four cancer, making him the sole provider for his family.
Source: Geoff Livingston / Getty
Imagine: You're a hard-working parent doing your best to support your five children and spouse—the latter of whom is battling cancer. One day, you leave your kids with a babysitter before heading out to your 9-to-5, only to have that person abandon them, leaving you in jail in to face abuse charges.
This is what happened to Victor Alonzo King of Raleigh, N.C. on Tuesday. According to ABC 13, King left his children with a neighbor before heading to his job at Chipotle. On Wednesday, King told a judge that he is the sole provider for his kids (aged 8, 7, 5, 3 and 1) and wife, who was recently diagnosed with stage four cancer.
"Two weeks ago my wife was diagnosed with stage four cancer," King said. "I'm practically like her only way to pay for all of her medical bills. So I was wondering if I could get out early and I can still work so I won't lose my job so I can still pay for her medical expenses."
Despite King's testimony, the judge refused to lower King's $25,000 bond because of a 2011 child cruelty conviction, which was raised by the prosecutor. According to court documents retrieved from the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside, King was fined and required to take parenting classes.

Dr. andrew kaufman currently has no patient reviews.
"Treatment by an excellent sugeon. "
Dr. Kaufman is extremely knowledgeable and his surgery was excellent . I would highly recommend him to anyone with a skin cancer, as there is every likelihood that you will not even have a scar. I came originally to see Dr. Kaufman because he had operated a number of times on a friend of mine with many skin cancers in his face over a number of years, and his face does not have a single scar..
"it was very good experience"
Great doctor and staff. My incision sites came out looking good.
Never had such a great experience with a practice!
The care that Dr. Kaufman and his staff provided was way beyond my expectations! So professional yet caring and focused on doing the best job possible!
"I would highly recommend Dr. Kaufman for thorough skin exams, and melanoma treatment. "
Dr. Kaufman has provided very thorough skin exams to ensure healthy skin, after having melanoma.
i have had two basal cell cancers removed from my face and 1 cyst from my body. Each time Dr. Kaufman performed the surgeries. I have been thrilled with the professionalism of his office staff, the cleanliness of the exam and surgery rooms and Dr. Kaufman's expertise. He could not be more thorough in his explanation of the surgery and necessary follow up care. Best of all, after healing my scars are not even noticeable. I highly recommend both Dr. Kaufman and his staff.
"i love everyone here. "
i feel very comfortable. they always take their time to answer all my questions. Especially Tiffany and Dr. Kaufman. Thank you!
very professional, appreciate Dr getting me in quickly. very happy with the results.
After a botched skin cancer removal, Dr Kaufman revised my scar. With almost a 100% improvement I could not be happier. He and his staff were spectacular throughout the process and I am beyond pleased with the results.


Carnival in Italy – How Italian celebrate Carnival?
Carnival is an important italian celebration, and them changing region for region.
Some cities, however, have a centuries-old tradition of celebrations that is expressed in very special ways. Piemonte's region there is the traditional Battle of the Oranges of the Carnival of Ivrea, while in the province of Ferrara there is the Carnevale di Cento famous for the carters of papier-mâché.
In Fano instead for three weekends you can attend one of the oldest carnival festivals with parades of allegorical floats and masks. In Offida, in the province of Ascoli Piceno, the appointment is with the reenactment of the ox hunt, Lu Bov Fint, recreated in papier-mâché. In Rome, the Roman Carnival is celebrated on the streets of the center recalling the ancient Roman Carnival, when the city was given to the people for a day.
In Campania the Carnival is celebrated in Montemarano (Av) where you can dance in the mask with some good wine with a tarantella rhythm.
The Carnival of Fano and that of Foiano della China are among the oldest in Italy, while the one in Venice is among the most famous international carnivals. Born around the year 1000 with a spirit that resembles that of the ancient Rome of bread and circus, or with the aim of providing the people with 2 intense months of celebration in which to vent mood and misery. It then becomes a wonderful institution with the Serenissima: a long period of celebration in which anyone could hide their identity behind the mask and live acting.
Scrolling through below you will find the Carnival Calendar for events of 2018 In Italy: dates and locations.

A Food Allergy Revolution: Our Co-Founder And Food Allergy Dad's Story
By: Andrew Leitner M.D.
Meet our co-founder and food allergy dad Andrew Leitner, M.D., and discover how his son's food allergies inspired him to start Ready, Set, Food!
At the age of 7 months, my son Abe had his first severe allergic reaction to peanut butter. Even though my wife, Marissa, and I knew about the new studies supporting early allergen introduction, unfortunately Abe missed a critical immune window. He now suffers from multiple food allergies. Just as Abe inspired us to help families prevent food allergies before they start, I wanted to share some advice for how parents can be proactive from my experiences as a physician, father, and co-founder of Ready, Set, Food!:
My Advice for Early Allergen Introduction
Don't Delay:
Studies show that earlier exposure (starting at 4-6 months) is favorable, however, positive results have been shown in older infants as well (up to 11 months). Many parents worry that their baby will have a reaction, but in three clinical trials on early introduction in over 2,000 babies, there weren't any cases of anaphylaxis or hospitalizations. In fact, anaphylaxis, or severe allergic reactions, is much less common in infants than toddlers and older children.
Eczema As An Important Precursor:
Infants with eczema are at the highest risk for developing food allergies, with some studies showing a 30% risk. In addition, eczema represents an important precursor, as most infants with eczema will develop their skin symptoms before developing food allergies. For infants with severe eczema, a screening by a pediatrician or allergist is required first.
Start Low, Gradually Build Up:
Parents are familiar with the advice to start with small amounts the first time a baby is exposed to allergenic foods. Introducing a small amount of one food at a time maximizes safety by allowing parents to monitor their baby for intolerance or mild reactions. Then, by increasing to a maintenance level, they can maximize the efficacy of sustained exposure.
The Importance of Sustaining Exposure:
Introducing allergenic foods early AND often is critical to preventing food allergies. A baby's immune system needs time and repeated oral exposure to develop a positive response to foods; recent studies exposed infants to allergenic foods 4 - 7 times/week for 3 - 6+ months.
Sibling with An Existing Food Allergy:
It can be stressful to introduce allergenic foods to an infant for any parent, especially if an older sibling already suffers from a food allergy. However, knowing that family history is considered a risk factor for developing food allergies, prevention is the best defense for younger siblings. Because babies are not born with food allergies, you can still significantly lower their risk of developing a food allergy with early and sustained allergen introduction.
I'm passionate about turning our family's struggle into a mission to help reverse the troubling rise of food allergies. Abe motivates us to give parents the tools and information to help reduce the risk of food allergies and in turn, give their children a head-start towards an allergy-free future.
Andrew Leitner, M.D. is a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain specialist. Motivated by his younger son's experience with food allergies, he helped the Ready, Set, Food! team develop an evidence-based approach to early and sustained introduction. Dr. Leitner received his M.D. with honors from Washington University School of Medicine and completed residency and fellowship training at UCLA Medical Center. He is an assistant clinical professor at City of Hope National Medical Center, and lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons. He is a co-founder of and a member of the scientific advisory board for Ready, Set, Food!

BLOCKStrain Technology Corp (TSX:V.DNAX, OTCQB:BKKSF, Forum ), are pleased to announce that they have completed the 'first-of-its-kind' cannabis strain validation registration program – a testing and verification process that will confirm cannabis strains as purchased.
world to incorporate a cannabis strains authenticity and tracking platform into its sales program.
BLOCKStrain's proprietary genome tracking software houses the DNA data for cross referencing.
Registration program is focused on providing transparency to cannabis consumers. Licensed producers completing the registration can in turn provide assurance to their own customers that the cannabis strains they purchase are the ones they receive.
BLOCKStrain scientists collects plant data and genomic sequencing in plant batches which are registered in a blockchain-enabled database for intellectual property protection and strain validation. Known as the Master Genome Strain & Clone Registration Program, all information gathered from the plant genome, including its molecular and chemical makeup, can be tracked via the program. Going forward, a quick response (QR) barcode specific to each plant batch can reveal everything about how it was cloned, cultivated, its cannabinoid content and more. A video introducing the WeedMD and BLOCKStrain pilot project can be found here.
BLOCKStrain Technology Corp. has developed the first integrated blockchain platform that registers and tracks intellectual property for the cannabis industry. Strain protection and genetic identification are major issues for growers and breeders, and this new technology allows them to identify and secure rights to their valuable intellectual property (IP). The BLOCKStrain platform also streamlines the administrative process of genetic and mandatory quality-control testing for legal cannabis, cutting the administrative time and expense in half.
BLOCKStrain's proprietary, immutable, cryptographically-secure blockchain-technology establishes a global 'single source of truth' for cannabis strains, their ownership, potency and chemical makeup. In an industry where a popular strain can be worth millions of dollars, it is crucial to the industry's future to quantify genetics, potency and equivalencies between cannabis products. BLOCKStrain delivers needed transparency to growers, retailers, regulators, and consumers who have struggled to find realistic solutions to these logistical challenges. The good news is that the blockchain technology implemented by BLOCKStrain is ideally suited to solve these kinds of problems by implementing an immutable and non-corruptible record of transactions.

\section{Introduction}
If events $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_n$ are independent, then we have
$\pp(\bigcap \bar A_i))>0$
so long as $\pp(A_i)<1$ for each $i$.  A central tool in probabilistic combinatorics is the Lov\'asz Local Lemma proved by Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz\cite{EL}, which can be seen as generalizing this simple fact to situations where some dependencies among the $A_i$ are allowed, in exchange for better bounds on the probabilities $\pp(A_i)$.

The Local Lemma is commonly presented through the framework of a \emph{dependency graph} on the events $A_i$, where if $\ccc$ is any family of non-neighbors of some $A_i$, then we have that $A_i$ is independent of the family $\ccc$ of events.  The Lov\'asz Local Lemma is then as follows:

\begin{theorem}[Lov\'asz Local Lemma]
  Let $G$ be any dependency graph for a finite family $\aaa$ of events, and suppose that there are real numbers $0<x_A<1$ $(A\in \aaa)$  such that for all $A\in \aaa$ we have
  \begin{equation}
    \pp(A)\leq x_{A}\prod_{B\sim A}(1-x_B).
\label{c.L}
  \end{equation}
Then
\[
\pp\left(\bigcap_{A\in \aaa}\bar A\right)>\prod_{A\in \aaa}(1-x_A),
\]
and so in particular, we have
\begin{equation}
\pp\left(\bigcap_{A\in \aaa}\bar A\right)>0.
\end{equation}
\end{theorem}

The first breakthrough in finding an algorithmic version of the Local Lemma was made by Beck, who demonstrated his method on the classical Local Lemma application to 2-colorable hypergraphs.  Beck's method was subsequently refined and given a more general framework \cite{Alimp,MR,CS,S}, but required stronger bounds on the probabilities of the events than were required by the nonalgorithmic version.

In Moser and Tardos' recent breakthrough paper\cite{MT}, they give an algorithmic proof of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma in a setting which is general enough for nearly all applications of the Lemma in combinatorics, with bounds identical to those required by the nonalgorithmic version.  In the framework Moser and Tardos consider, the events in $\aaa$ depend on some underlying set $\vvv$ of independent random variables, and they denote by $\vbl(A)$ $(A\in \aaa)$ the minimal set of random variables from $\vvv$ on which each $A$ depends; $A$ is said to be `violated' with respect to a particular evalation of the variables in $\vbl(A)$ if the event occurs for that evaluation.  A Moser-Tardos dependency graph is one which implies that if events $A$ and $B$ are nonadjacent, then $\vbl(A)$ is disjoint from $\vbl(B)$.  (Note that this notion of a dependency graph is more restrictive than the Lov\'asz version based on probabilistic independence, as is demonstrated by an example of Kolipaka and Szegedy\cite{KS}.)   Moser and Tardos's theorem is then the following:
\begin{theorem}[Moser and Tardos]
  Let $\vvv$ be a finite set of mutually independent variables in a probability space, and let $\aaa$ be a finite family of events determined by these variables.  If there are real numbers $0<x_A<1$ ($A\in \aaa$) such that
\begin{equation}
\pp(A)\leq x_A\prod_{B\sim A}(1-x_B)
\label{c.MT}
\end{equation}
then there exists an assignment to the variables $\vvv$ which corresponds to no occurrence of any event from $\aaa$.  Moreover, the randomized algorithm described below resamples an event $A$ at most an expected $\frac{x_A}{1-x_A}$ times before finding the evaluation, thus the total number of resampling steps is $\sum_{A\in \aaa}\frac{x_A}{1-x_A}$ in expectation.
\end{theorem}
\noindent The Moser-Tardos algorithm consists just of beginning with a random evaluation of all the variables in $\vvv$, and then resampling $\vbl(A)$ for any violated events $A$ until no violated events remain.  Of course, the efficiency of the algorithm depends on the ability to resample variables efficiently and check whether individual events are violated; this is generally an easy implementation problem, however, making the analysis of the number of resampling steps the important issue.

Recently, Bissacot, Fern\'andez, Procacci and Scoppola proved the following improvement of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma:
\begin{theorem}[Bissacot, et al.\cite{BFPS}]
\label{t.ball}
  Consider a finite family $\aaa$ of events in some probability space $\Omega$, with some dependency graph $G$.   If there are real numbers $0<\mu_A<\infty$ such that
\begin{equation}
\p(A)\leq
\bfrac{\mu_A}{\sum_{\substack{I\sbs \bar\Gamma(A)\\ I \textrm{ \emph{indep.}}}} \prod_{B\in I}\mu_B}
\label{c.ball}
\end{equation}
then $\p\left(\bigcap\limits_{A\in \aaa}\bar A\right)>0$.
\end{theorem}
\noindent It is not difficult to check that condition (\ref{c.ball}) is weaker than condition (\ref{c.L}) by considering the substitution $\mu_A=\frac{x_A}{1-x_A}$.  (Condition (\ref{c.L}) would be equivalent to (\ref{c.ball}) without the condition in the sum that the sets $I$ be independent.)  In \cite{BFPS}, they also give examples where this theorem improves some classical theorems proved with the Local Lemma.  Theorem \ref{t.ball} has also since been applied to improve some theorems on graph colorings in \cite{nlapp}.

Their proof of Theorem \ref{t.ball} is based on Shearer's characterization of labeled dependency graphs to which the conclusion of the Local Lemma applies\cite{Sh} and two of those authors' recent results on the radius of convergence of logs of partition functions\cite{cluster}.  (The connection between the Local Lemma and the partition functions of statistical mechanics was first made by Scott and Sokal\cite{SS}.)

In this short note, we prove an algorithmic analog to the result of Bissacot, et.~al.  That is, we will show that in the setting of Moser and Tardos's algorithmic Local Lemma, Moser and Tardos's bounds on the running time of their algorithm hold even with their condition (\ref{c.MT}) replaced with condition (\ref{c.ball}):

\begin{theorem}
\label{t.algimp}
  Let $\vvv$ be a finite set of mutually independent variables in a probability space, and let $\aaa$ be a finite family of events determined by these variables.  If there are real numbers $0<\mu_A<\infty$ ($A\in \aaa$) such that
\begin{equation}
\p(A)\leq
\bfrac{\mu_A}{\sum_{\substack{I\sbs \bar\Gamma(A)\\ I \textrm{ \emph{indep.}}}} \prod_{B\in I}\mu_B},
\label{l.icond}
\end{equation}
then there exists an assignment to the variables $\vvv$ which corresponds to no occurrence of any event from $\aaa$.  Moreover, the Moser-Tardos algorithm resamples an event $A$ at most an expected $\mu_A$ times before finding the evaluation, thus the total number of resampling steps is $\sum\limits_{A\in \aaa}\mu_A$ in expectation.
\end{theorem}
\noindent (The running time bound here is equivalent to the Moser-Tardos bound under the substituation $\mu_A=\frac{x_A}{1-x_A}$.)

The proof of Theorem \ref{t.algimp} consists simply of re-doing one part of the proof of Moser and Tardos's theorem, taking advantage of some constraints which were not necessary for Moser and Tardos's original result.

Theorem \ref{t.algimp} can be seen as doing two things: first, it extends the result of Moser and Tardos by giving a weaker condition under which the identical result holds---note that this has also been done in a more general sense by Kolipaka and Szegedy\cite{KS}, who directly connect Shearer's condition with the Moser/Tardos algorithmic framework. Secondly, it gives an alternative proof of the result of Bissacot, et al.~(in the slightly more restrictive algorithmic setting) which is independent of Shearer's theorem and the cluster expansion methods used in \cite{cluster}.

\bigskip

Bissacot, et al.~note that their Theorem \ref{t.ball} can be extended to \emph{Lopsided dependency graphs}, first considered by Erd\H{o}s and Spencer in \cite{ES}.  In their paper on their algorithmic Local Lemma, Moser and Tardos define an analog of lopsidependency in the algorithm/variable setting, and a reader familiar with Moser and Tardos's paper can easily verify that our improvement to Moser and Tardos's theorem applies to their theorem on algorithmic lopsided dependency graphs as well, as we only re-do their branching argument, which is applied to the lopsided case in the same way as in their main result.

\section{Proof}
\label{s.proof}

The Moser-Tardos algorithm is as follows:
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
 \Procedure{Moser-Tardos}{$\ppp$}
  \For {all $P\in \ppp$}
  \State $v_P\gets $(random evaluation of $P$)
  \EndFor
  \While {$\exists A$ s.t. $A$ is violated when $P=v_P$ ($\forall P$)} \label{l.w}
   \For {all $P\in \vbl(A)$}
   \State $v_P\gets $(new random evaluation of $P$)
  \EndFor
   \EndWhile
  \EndProcedure
\end{algorithmic}
\noindent (Note that when multiple events exist satisfying line \ref{l.w}, one of the satisfying events is chosen arbitrarily.)

Moser and Tardos' proof that this algorithm terminates in polynomial time (under condition (\ref{c.MT})) is based on the notion of a `witness tree'.  As the algorithm runs and bad events are found and resampled, a witness tree is assigned to each step of the algorithm (where a step consists of a resampling of an event).  A witness tree is a rooted tree with labels from $\aaa$.  The witness tree $W_t$ for step $t$ of the algorithm is constructed as follows: choose as its root a vertex labeled with whatever event $A_0$ was resampled at step $t$.  If the event $A_1$ which was resampled at step $t-1$ overlaps the label of the root, a vertex is added as a child of the root labeled with $A_1$. (We may have $A_1=A_0$.)  In general, for each step $i=t-1,t-2,\dots,1$ of the algorithm, if the event $A_i$ which was added at step $i$ overlaps any of the events currently labels of vertices of our partially constructed $W_t$, we add a vertex labeled with $A_i$ as the child of a vertex of maximum depth whose label overlaps $A_i$.  In the result, $W_t$, children always overlap their parents, and children of a common parent always get distinct labels (otherwise, whichever was added after the other would have been added as a child of the other).  Any tree $T$ with labels from $\aaa$ with these two properties is called a \emph{proper witness tree}.

Moser and Tardos's proof of their algorithm's efficiency consists of two parts: first, they show that any proper witness tree $T$ has probability at most
\begin{equation}
\prod_{v\in T} \p(A_v)
\end{equation}
of occurring as a witness tree at any point in the running of the algorithm, where here $A_v$ denotes the event labeling the vertex $v$.

Now, if an event $A$ is resampled at step $t$, the number of occurrences of $A$ as a label in the witness tree $W_t$ is equal to the number of times $A$ has been resampled on steps $1,\dots,t$---in particular, all witness trees which will occur in a run of the algorithm will be distinct.  Thus if we let $\ttt_A$ denote the set of proper witness trees with root label $A$, the expected value of the number $N_A$ of resamplings of $A$ which occur in a run of the algorithm is equal to
\begin{equation}
\e(N_A)=\sum_{T\in \ttt_A} \p(T \textrm{ occurs in the log})\leq \sum_{T\in \ttt_A}\prod_{v\in T} \p(A_v).
\label{l.nasum}
\end{equation}

The second part of Moser and Tardos's proof consists of bounding the sum of products in line (\ref{l.nasum}).  They do this by considering a random process for constructing trees:  Suppose $x_A$ ($A\in \aaa$) are real numbers between 0 and 1.  Fix now any event $A_0$.  In the first round of the process, a vertex labeled $A_0$ is created.  In each subsequent round, for each event vertex $v$ with label $A_v$ created in the previous round, and for each event $A_u\in \bar\Gamma(A_v)$ (in the dependency graph), a vertex $u$ with label $A_u$ is added as a child of $v$ with probability $x_{A_u}$.  (All of these choices are are made independently.)

Moser and Tardos prove:
\begin{lemma}[Moser Tardos Branching Lemma]
  For any proper witness tree $T$ with root labeled $A_0$, the probability $p_T$ that the process above produces exactly the tree $T$ is
\begin{equation}
  p_T=\frac{1-x_{A_0}}{x_{A_0}}\prod_{v\in T}\left(x_{A_v}\prod_{B\sim A_v}(1-x_B)\right).
\end{equation}
\qed
\end{lemma}

Thus, the Lemma gives us that
\begin{equation}
1\geq \sum_{T\in \ttt_A} p_T\geq
\frac{1-x_{A}}{x_{A}}\sum_{T\in \ttt_A}\prod_{v\in T}\left(x_{A_v}\prod_{B\sim A_v}(1-x_B)\right)
\end{equation}
Thus the bound $P(A)\leq \left(x_{A}\prod_{B\sim A}(1-x_B)\right)$ for all $A$ implies, together with line (\ref{l.nasum}), that
\begin{equation}
  \e(N_A)\leq \frac{x_A}{1-x_A}.
\end{equation}

Our improvement comes just from a slightly more careful branching argument.  Note that any witness tree which occurs in the log of the algorithm has the property that any children of a common vertex have labels which are nonadjacent in the dependency graph.  This condition---let's call it \emph{strongly proper}---is stronger than requiring simply that children be distinct.  Thus, we can strengthen line \ref{l.nasum}, as we have the bound

\begin{equation}
\e(N_A)=\sum_{T\in \ttt^S_A} \p(T \textrm{ occurs in the log})\leq \sum_{T\in \ttt^S_A}\prod_{v\in T} \p(A_v).
\label{l.rnasum}
\end{equation}
where $\ttt_A^S\sbs \ttt_A$ is the set of strongly proper witness trees.

To bound the sum in (\ref{l.rnasum}), we consider a modified branching process which proceeds as follows.

Given real numbers $0<\mu_A<\infty$, we define $x_A=\frac{\mu_A}{\mu_A+1}$ (note that $0<x_A<1$) and fix any event $A_0$.  In the first round of the process, a vertex labeled $A_0$ is created.  In each subsequent round, for each event vertex $v$ with label $A_v$ in the previous round, we carry out a `subprocess', where for each $A_u\in \bar\Gamma(v)$ (in the dependency graph), a vertex $u$ with label $A_u$ is added as a child of $v$ with probability $x_{A_u}$ (the choices are independent).  At the end of the subprocess, we check if the label-set of the resulting set of children for $v$ is an independent set in the dependency graph.  If it is not, we delete the children created and restart the subprocess.  Note that $x_A<1$ (for all $A$) implies that the subprocess will eventually end (with probability 1) having produced an independent set.

Note that the process described above is equivalent to one in which, in each round and for each vertex $v$ from the previous round, we create a set of children $u$ with labels from a set chosen from all independent sets $I_v\sbs \bar\Gamma(v)$, where the likelihood of the choice of each independent set $I_v$ is weighted according the the product
\[
w(I_v)=\left(\prod_{u\in I_v}x_{A_u}\right)\left(\prod_{u\in \bar\Gamma(v)\stm I_v}(1-x_{A_u})\right).
\]

\begin{lemma}[Improved Branching Lemma]
  For any strongly proper witness tree $T$ with root labeled $A_0$, the probability $p'_T$ that the modified branching process described above produces exactly the tree $T$ is
\begin{equation}
p'_T=\mu_{A_0}^{-1}
\prod_{v\in T}\bfrac{\mu_{A_u}}{\sum_{\substack{I\sbs \bar\Gamma(A_v)\\ I \textrm{ \emph{indep.}}}} \prod_{A\in I}\mu_A}.
\label{l.ipbound}
\end{equation}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Letting $W_v=\bar\Gamma_G(A_v)\stm \ell(\Gamma^+_T(v))$, where $\ell(v)$ is the label of vertex $v$, we have
\[
p'_T=\prod_{v\in T}
\bfrac{
 \prod_{u\in \Gamma^+_T(v)}x_{A_u} \prod_{B\in W_v}(1-x_B)
}
{
\sum_{\substack{I\sbs \bar\Gamma(A_v)\\ I \textrm{ indep.}}} \prod_{A\in I}x_A\prod_{B\in \bar\Gamma_G(A_v)\stm I}(1-x_B)
}.
\]
This can be rewritten as
\[
p'_T=\prod_{v\in T}
\bfrac{
\prod_{u\in \Gamma^+_T(v)}\frac{x_{A_u}}{1-x_{A_u}}
}
{
\sum_{\substack{I\sbs \bar\Gamma(A_v)\\ I \textrm{ indep.}}} \prod_{A\in I}\frac{x_A}{1-x_A}
}
\]
by dividing the top and bottom by $\prod_{B\in \bar\Gamma_G(A_v)}(1-x_B)$.  Since taking the double product $\prod_{v\in T} \prod_{u\in \Gamma^+_T(v)}$ is a equivalent to taking a product $\prod_{v\in T\stm \{v_0\}}$, where $v_0$ denotes the root vertex of $T$, this gives line (\ref{l.ipbound}), recalling that $x_A=\frac{\mu_A}{\mu_A+1}$ and so $\frac{x_A}{1-x_A}=\mu_A$.
\end{proof}
This is applied now in the same way as the branching lemma used by Moser and Tardos, but with regards to the family $\ttt^S_A$ of strongly proper witness trees rooted with $A$, instead of the family $\ttt_A$ of proper witness trees rooted with $A$.
We have
\begin{equation}
1\geq \sum_{T\in \ttt^S_A}p'_T\geq
\mu_{A_0}^{-1}\sum_{T\in \ttt^S_A}
\prod_{v\in T}\bfrac{\mu_{A_u}}{\sum_{\substack{I\sbs \bar\Gamma(A_v)\\ I \textrm{ indep.}}} \prod_{A\in I}\mu_A}.
\label{}
\end{equation}
Putting this together with line (\ref{l.rnasum}), we see then that the condition (\ref{l.icond}) of the theorem implies that
\begin{equation}
  \e(N_A)\leq \mu_A,
\end{equation}
completing the proof the the Moser-Tardos algorithm still terminates in expected time
\[
\sum_{A\in \aaa} \mu_A.
\]\qed

Q: How to apply a scikit learn models to unseen data of a different shape? Get Dummies is causing problems Let's say my training a model to detect churn, and the dataset has the following features (very simplified). I have makes and females, who have signed up online or by post.
ID  source  Gender  Churn
1   Online  M       1
2   Post    M       1
3   Online  M       1
4   Online  F       0
5   Post    F       0

And I apply pandas get_dummies:
ID  source_online   source_post Gender_M    Gender_F
1       1               0          1          0
2       0               1          1          0
3       1               0          1          0
4       1               0          0          1
5       0               1          0          1

Now let's say I use StandardScaler and then fit a model on this data and train it.
Some days later I get new data from the same database & schema and I have to predict churn. Exact same variables, except this time it has only males, who have only signed up online.
ID  source  Gender
1   Online  M
2   Online  M
3   Online  M

I apply get_dummies:
   ID  source_Online  Gender_M
0   1              1         1
1   2              1         1
2   3              1         1

First of all, the StandardScaler with the learned settings from the training set doesn't work on this unseen data, because it's missing some dummy variables. And of course it does not work with the trained model, because of the same reason.
Is there any way around this?
I currently have hundreds of records with this problem because they are missing a single within a variable that was present in the training set. (In this simplified example we are missing females)

Q: Does a proton oscillating at RF produce an EM field with a -E vector to clarify - FACT:  oscillating charges of sufficient frequency produce a propagating EM field. All communications is based on electron oscillation.
Question: IF a proton was oscillated at RF would it produce a EM field with -E relative to the E of an EM wave from an electron driven antenna.
Would the two waves cancel if they met, what effect would a proton induced EM wave have on electronic equipment?

A: Yes, an oscillating proton would produce electromagnetic waves. However, for the same driving force, the acceleration of an proton would be smaller than that of an electron by a factor of $m_e/m_p$.
Larmor's formula tells us that the total power radiated by an accelerated charge is proportional to the time average of the square of its acceleration (or the time average of the square of the second derivative of its dipole moment). So the radiated power from the proton would be a factor $(m_{e}/m_{p})^2$ smaller for the same driving force. The field strengths would be smaller by $m_{e}/m_p$.
If a proton and an electron were accelerated using the same Lorentz force - say for simplicity, a sinusoidally varying electric field, then the electromagnetic radiation they produced (i.e. scattered) would be $\pi$ out of phase if considered at the same displacement and at the same instant in time.
If you receive an electromagnetic wave without any other source of information, you cannot tell whether that wave has been produced by an accelerated proton or an accelerated electron.

Take a building tour
by Graeme McIntyre
arts / behind the scenes
Come and see our largest artefact
The National Museum is offering tours of the Museum building, explaining the history of the site and its architectural design. It joins our suite of informative and entertaining daily one-hour guided tours.
Museum entrance
I like to think of the building as the largest object in our collection. Think of it as a big, colourful box, covered in stories.
The Gandel Atrium represents all the threads of stories from history, tied together in a knot. Each story thread is important but it's here they all come together and make up the messy and complicated knot that is Australian history.
This is knot an ordinary building. Get it? It's full of fascinating stories from Australian history and we can give you the full story from inside.
The Loop and Forecourt Garden
What's the big loop?
We get a lot of questions along the lines of 'What is the big loop-de-loop thing out the front? Is it a skate ramp or a rollercoaster?'
Well, sort of, but no. It is what we call the Uluru Line. It stretches from the loop high above the entrance of the Museum, alongside the AIATSIS building to the wave-like structure you see at the far end of the car park.
If you followed that red line, you'd end up crossing the desert to Uluru. It's the thread that connects the symbolic heart of Australia, Uluru, with the modern capital of Australia, Canberra.
It acknowledges the longest story in Australian history, representing at least 65,000 years of Aboriginal cultures in Australia. So okay, you got it, it's a long rollercoaster ride through history.
What's the shiny stuff out the front?
That's the Welcome Wall where you can see yourself reflected in history. Wander through the mosaic garden and enjoy plants from across Australia in our new Forecourt Garden.
Who can tell me more?
We can! Come in any day at 10am for our one-hour building and architecture guided tour led by our enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable Museum hosts.
We also run a daily Museum highlights tour at 1pm. At 3pm we have a tour focusing on the histories of First Australians. Cost apply

Grand-Mompreneur: Entrepreneurship at 60
Rabiya Moola's ready-to-go hijab design Courtesy of Rabiya Moola
Written by Mahwash Fatima
Like any other Muslim mompreneur, Rabiya Moola is energetic, passionate, and inspirational. Her vision is to change the way Muslim women are portrayed, and she's doing this all in her sixties.
Moola has been an entrepreneur since 1975 and she has run two different kinds of businesses over the past four decades. When she first arrived in Ottawa in the 70s, there were only a handful of Muslims here. For her to take the entrepreneurial plunge without knowing the country and the mentality of the community at the time was phenomenal. She now says that "…women have it super easy… they can do whatever they want to do. There is a large Muslim community and women can do whatever they put their mind to. If they have an idea they should move forward, be enthusiastic and be adventurous."
Despite her business successes, what Moola always dreamt of doing was to run a women's clothing business that dressed Muslim women in fashionable yet Islamic clothing. Now at the age when most people think that they have lived their life and can no longer fulfil their dreams, this inspiring Muslim mompreneur decided to start her Hijab business, "Trendzz".
Moola would go to Friday prayers and see girls and women wearing hijab pinned in different places and she would wonder if there was another way to wear the hijab. She herself never liked the pins and thought, "I gotta create something "easy-go", something you put on and you go!" She felt that her product should be something that school and university-going girls would find convenient and easy to put on.
She started by creating her own hijabs and would get compliments and requests from friends and relatives. Realizing that there was a niche market for this, she decided to turn it into a business.
However, Moola soon realized that there was a problem with her target market: Muslim women were not willing to pay the price. Many come from cultures where everything is bargained down and labour is cheap. They don't necessarily realize the importance of supporting local businesses and the value and time that goes into a handcrafted product.
Moola spends hours trying to perfect a single hijab. The costs add up when you are focused of refining the stitching and using quality fabric.
To deal with this challenge, Moola has decided to extend her target market. She wants to get in touch with the Canadian Cancer Society and offer her product to them. She is also looking at introducing her hijab design to Islamic schools and having it as part of the school uniform.
Moola believes that each individual has something special inside them which they can give back to the society. Once they realize their passion, they should make a plan and move on. The name, the fame and the money will come in later, but the bottom line is it's a happy journey.

So fashion week just flew by and I'm not even halfway through viewing the runway images from style.com. I did however watch the live stream of the Burberry Prorsum show which I love. Beautiful clothes, fab music. Pity about the model who fell at the end, it was either the shoes or her walk needs some serious improvement. While I slowly catch up with the shows, here are a couple street style randoms of looks I'm loving.
Saw this on Vanessa Jackman, a fab street style site you should totally check out. I didn't know who she was but thought she had a really pretty name, Coco Sumner, and after some googling, found out she's actually the daughter of Sting. Her outfit is so easy and laidback, and I'm totally loving the colourful suspenders.
Another casual and easy to throw together outfit consisting of just basics. This shade of yellow which I call the mustard colour (or is there another name for this colour?) is probably my favourite shade of yellow (see here). Also, I'm finally able to do the bun on top of head look with my current length but have yet to wear it out. Will try it soon.
On a totally unrelated note, am really happy I managed to find something nice to wear to my friend's wedding this weekend. It was such a last minute find. Lucky me. Now, I just need to go style the outfit.
I absolutely love both of these outfits, but especially the second one!

"I subscribe to the Fiona Apple school of titles: I wanted people to know exactly what they were getting into"*…
How many words can you fit in a subtitle? For a slew of modern books, the answer seems to be as many as possible. Just look at Julie Holland's "Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You're Taking, the Sleep You're Missing, the Sex You're Not Having, and What's Really Making You Crazy," Erin McHugh's "Political Suicide: Missteps, Peccadilloes, Bad Calls, Backroom Hijinx, Sordid Pasts, Rotten Breaks, and Just Plain Dumb Mistakes in the Annals of American Politics" and Ryan Grim's "We've Got People: From Jesse Jackson to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement."
Blame a one-word culprit: search. Todd Stocke, senior vice president and editorial director at Sourcebooks, said that subtitle length and content have a lot to do with finding readers through online searches. "It used to be that you could solve merchandising communication on the cover by adding a tagline, blurb or bulleted list," he said. But now, publishers "pack the keywords and search terms into the subtitle field because in theory that'll help the book surface more easily."…
The whole story at "Book subtitles are getting ridiculously long. What is going on?"
* W. Kamau Bell
As we search for optimization, we might spare a thought for Lois Duncan Steinmetz– better known by her pen name, Lois Duncan– she died on this date in 2016. A journalist, poet, and novelist, she is probably best remembered as a pioneering author of young adult novels, dubbed the "queen of teen thrillers." (Indeed, in 2014 she was awarded the Grand Master award from the Mystery Writers of America, alongside James Ellroy.)
We might also send puffing birthday greetings to Wilbert Vere Awdry; he was born on this date in 1911. Better known as "Reverend W. Awdry," he was a train enthusiast and children's author, who married his passions to create Thomas the Tank Engine (the central figure in Awdry's Railway Series, and the star of a long-running animated children's show).

Besides retouching and restoration of photos, I also off Photo Effects. There are an infinite number of effects that can be done but I have included a few examples to inspire you. We can discuss what you have in mind or I can make suggestions if you want some guidance.
ples. All photos start somewhere so I will make them look their best before I use any effects so that the effects look even better.
This is a straight forward black and white conversion with a little Selenium toning. When I used to have my own darkroom, this was one of my favorite processes for black and white. It gave it a richer tone and appearance.
Sepia toning adds a bit of warmth to the image. It also looks a little aged. If you want your photo to look even more aged I can make that happen for you too.
This process converts a photo into a simulated charcoal drawing. There are many options such as color, pencil, pastel, and more. It's all up to your imagination. I am always here to help with suggestions. The larger photos have more detail.
Want your photo to have brush strokes or maybe something even more impressionistic? I can do that also. This example keeps much of the detail but adds a printing type feel to it. Your very own fine art masterpiece!

Q: Java: Updating variable from other class I'm struggling with a strange issue that I cannot seem to solve.. I used various methods (like setting the variable directly by shape.rightident = 1, etc..)
Class:
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;

public abstract class MyShape {

protected int rightidentifier = -1; // to make sure you get an error when it is not being changed.
protected int x1, y1, x2, y2;
protected int width, height, startx, starty;

public MyShape() {
    this(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

public MyShape(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2) {
    this.x1 = x1;
    this.x2 = x2;
    this.y1 = y1;
    this.y2 = y2;
}

public void setRightIdent(int identt) {
    this.rightidentifier = identt;
}

public int getRightIdent() {
    return this.rightidentifier;
}
}

Now when I try to set the variable:
public void addToShapeList(MyShape shape) {
    int currcount;
    switch(shape.type) {
        case "Rectangle":
            rectanglecount++;
            currcount = rectanglecount;
            break;
        case "Line":
            linecount++;
            currcount = linecount;
            break;
        case "Ellipse":
            ellipsecount++;
            currcount = ellipsecount;
            break;
        default:
            currcount = 0;
            break;
    }
    listModel.addElement(shape.type + " " + currcount);
    shape.rightidentifier = listModel.size() - 1;
    shape.setRightIdent(listModel.size()-1);
    System.out.println("setted rightident to " + (listModel.size() -1));
    System.out.println("Rightident now:" + shape.getRightIdent());
}

public void deleteFromList(MyShape shape) {
    System.out.println("tried to remove rightident: " + shape.getRightIdent());
    listModel.remove(shape.getRightIdent());

}

Then the system output:
setted rightident to 0
Rightident now:0
tried to remove rightident: -1

It seems like the object doesn't save the updated variable, what can I do to save the variable?
Edit: full code: https://github.com/Rubenkl/peent-daanruben/tree/peent2-ruben/Colorclicker/src
Class that calls the addtoShape and deletefromShape can be found here:
https://github.com/Rubenkl/peent-daanruben/blob/peent2-ruben/Colorclicker/src/DrawingPanel.java

A: I found the problem. You never set the right ident on a newly created shape in DrawingPanel.java. Here's my fix for you:
    switch(command) {
                case "Rectangle":
                    shape = new MyRectangle(start.x, start.y, end.x, end.y);
