\begin{abstract}

Neutrino non-standard interactions (NSI), previously introduced for the sun, are studied
in the supernova context. For normal hierarchy the
probability for electron neutrinos and antineutrinos at low energy ($E\lesssim
0.8-0.9 MeV$) is substantially
increased with respect to the non-NSI case and joins its value for inverse
hierarchy which is constant
with energy. Also for inverse hierarchy the NSI and non-NSI probabilities are
the same for each neutrino and
antineutrino species. These are the possible visible effects of NSI in the
supernova.
The decay into antineutrinos, which has been previously shown to be
implied by dense matter, cannot be seen experimentally, owing to the smallness of the
antineutrino production probability.
\end{abstract}

It was shown some time ago \cite{Pulido:2010ht} that neutrino nonstandard interactions (NSI)
provide a solution to the discrepancy between the observed flatness of the Super-Kamiokande
electron spectrum \cite{:2008zn} and the large mixing angle (LMA) prediction while keeping all
others \cite{Aharmim:2009gd,Bellini:2010gn,Cleveland:1998nv} accurate and in particular improving
the Chlorine one \cite{Cleveland:1998nv}. As neutrinos propagate through matter they interact
with electrons and quarks and their standard interaction potential is well known
\begin{equation}
V(SI)=V_c+V_n=G_F\sqrt{2}N_e\left(1-\frac{N_n}{2N_e}\right)
\label{VSI}
\end{equation}
with $V_c=(V_e)_{CC}=G_F\sqrt{2}N_e$ (CC contribution from electrons),
$V_n=-(G_F/\sqrt{2})N_n$ (contribution from neutrons, NC only). Our approach to NSI
assumes extra contributions to the vertices $\nu_{\alpha} \nu_{\beta}$ and $\nu_{\alpha}e$.
Denoting by $\varepsilon^{e,u,d}_{\alpha,\beta}$ the NSI factor that multiplies each diagram
associated to neutrino propagation in matter we have
\begin{eqnarray}
(v_{\alpha\beta})_{NSI}\!\!\! & = & \!\!\!G_F\sqrt{2}N_e\left[(\varepsilon_{\alpha \beta}^{eP})_{NC}+\left(-\frac{1}{2}+2sin^2\theta_W \right)
(\varepsilon_{\alpha \beta}^{eP})_{NC}+\left(1-\frac{8}{3}sin^2\theta_W+\frac{N_n}{2N_e} \right)
\varepsilon_{\alpha \beta}^{uP}\right.\nonumber\\
&& + \left.\left(-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}sin^2\theta_W-\frac{N_n}{N_e} \right)
\varepsilon_{\alpha \beta}^{dP} \right]
\label{VNSI}
\end{eqnarray}
where ${\alpha,\beta}$ are neutrino flavour indeces. The full matter potential is
therefore
\begin{equation}
V=V(SI)+V(NSI)
\label{V}
\end{equation}
and the matter Hamiltonian in the flavour basis is
\begin{equation}
{\cal H}_M=V_c \left(\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 0\\ \end{array}\right)+
\left(\begin{array}{ccc} (v_{ee})_{NSI} & (v_{e\mu})_{NSI} & (v_{e\tau})_{NSI}\\
(v_{\mu e})_{NSI} & (v_{\mu\mu})_{NSI} & (v_{\mu\tau})_{NSI}\\
(v_{\tau e})_{NSI} & (v_{\tau\mu})_{NSI} & (v_{\tau\tau})_{NSI}\\ \end{array}\right)={\cal H_{SI}}+{\cal H_{NSI}}~.
\label{HNSI}
\end{equation}
In ref.\cite{Pulido:2010ht} it was found that only imaginary diagonal couplings $\varepsilon$ provide
the change in the LMA survival probability in order to make it flat. To this end the necessary and sufficient
order of magnitude is found to be
\begin{equation}
|\varepsilon_{ee}^{e,u,d}|\simeq|\varepsilon_{\mu\mu}^{e,u,d}|\simeq|\varepsilon_{\tau
\tau}^{e,u,d}|=(2-4)\times 10^{-4}.
\end{equation}
This indicates that the eigenstates described by the Hamiltonian (\ref{HNSI}) are unstable, this
instability obviously being induced by dense matter and interpreted as associated to the neutrino decay
into an antineutrino and a majoron\cite{Pulido:2010ht}. In mass eigenstates
\begin{equation}
\nu_{i}\rightarrow \bar\nu_{j}+\chi.
\end{equation}
The processes involved in the propagation of neutrinos in the Sun are shown in fig.\ref{fig1}.

\begin{figure} [htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[height=80mm,keepaspectratio=true,angle=0]{nsi_diagram_c.eps}
\caption{\it The processes involved in the propagation of neutrinos in the sun as
in our model: the two upper diagrams are the standard ones for matter oscillation and
the lower one represents the decay $\nu_i\rightarrow \bar\nu_{j}+majoron (\chi)$.}
\label{fig1}
\end{figure}

The imaginary parts of the complex Hamiltonian eigenvalues give the decay rates of the neutrino mass
eigenstates which are quite small: the average lifetime in the initial $10^{-3}$ solar radius fraction
is approximately $10^{-7}s$ and rises very rapidly afterwards (see fig.\ref{fig2}).

\begin{figure}\centering
\includegraphics[height=110mm,keepaspectratio=true,angle=-90]{eigen_supernova_2.eps}
\caption{\it The decay rates of the neutrino mass eigenstates.}
\label{fig2}
\end{figure}

The decay rate for the process $\nu_{i}\rightarrow \bar\nu_{j}+\chi$ satisfies
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial \Gamma_{i}}{\partial E_f}=\sum_{j=1}^{3}\frac{|g_{ij}|^2}{8\pi}\frac{E_0-E_f}{{E_0}^2}
|v_{i}(r)-\overline v_{j}(r)|_{NSI}F(r,E_0)
\end{equation}
where $E_0,E_f$ are the initial neutrino and final antineutrino energies and $v_{i}=-\bar v_{i}$ are the interaction
potentials in the mass basis. However for the neutrino-majoron couplings only upper bounds exist \cite{Farzan:2002wx}
\begin{equation}
\sum_{\alpha}|g_{e\alpha}|^2<5.5\times 10^{-6},~ \sum_{\alpha}|g_{\tau\alpha}|^2<5.5\times 10^{-2}
\end{equation}
The appearance probabilities for $\nu_{\alpha},\bar\nu_{\alpha}$ with and without NSI are shown in fig.\ref{fig3}
for normal (panel (a)) and inverse hierarchy (panel (b)). For $\nu_e$ and $\bar\nu_e$ which have charged currents
and are therefore easier to detect, these probabilities are rather small in the absence of NSI and in normal
hierarchy (fig.\ref{fig3}a). Their actual detection will crucially depend on the detector size and supernova distance.
With NSI, they may become clearer through $\nu_e d\rightarrow ppe^{-}$, $\bar\nu_e p\rightarrow n e^{+}$ or an increased
$\nu e^-\rightarrow \nu e^-$ or $\bar\nu e^-\rightarrow \bar\nu e^-$ scattering event rate, however at low energy
($E_0\lesssim 0.8-0.9MeV$), which is still an experimental challenge. For inverse hierarchy, as also pointed above,
the situation is much different: the $\nu_e$, $\bar\nu_e$ signal appears louder and clearer (fig.\ref{fig3}b).

Finally the possibility of detection and measurement of the $\nu_{\mu}$, $\bar\nu_{\mu}$, $\nu_{\tau}$,
$\bar\nu_{\tau}$ energy spectra, which can only be traced via neutral currents, may in future be made through
$\nu~p\rightarrow\nu~p$ scattering in scintillator detectors (e.g. Borexino, SNO+) as proposed in
\cite{Beacom:2002hs} and recently revived in \cite{Dasgupta:2011wg}. For the
NSI scenario expound in the present paper this technique will be particularly useful, since it appears to be
possible to clearly distinguish between normal and inverse hierarchies (see fig.\ref{fig3}). In fact it suffices
to note that for normal hierarchy the above mentioned neutrinos arrive copiously on Earth in comparison with
the more rare $\nu_e$$'$s and $\bar\nu_e$$'$s whereas for inverse hierarchy all species arrive in comparable
numbers.

and energy below 0.9 MeV the NSI probability merges with its non-NSI value.}

Player focus
Iwobi stars at Camp Nou to prove he's Arsenal's next homegrown star
Young forward Alex Iwobi was given a surprise start at Camp Nou against Champions League holders Barcelona on Wednesday evening and he did not disappoint.
The question was can he do it on a rainy night in Barcelona? The answer is he did well, could have scored and his overall contribution was good in a difficult situation.
The 19-year-old did not freeze and did not seem troubled to be playing in such an important game, taking the match to the Barça defenders on a regular basis. On the defensive side, he did his job well trying to keep the team's defensive shape when needed. This a crucial aspect of the game when playing a side like Barça, who are masters in keeping the ball and then finding a free player in an empty space.
Up against the world's best on Wednesday evening, Iwobi wasn't intimidated by the occasion. (Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)
Iwobi had a couple of shots that unfortunately were not on target, but his passing and movement showed no fear towards the opposition and you need players with personality and character in tough games.
Then there was the big and potentially game changing moment in the 35th minute of the game when he went down in the penalty area. The referee made a clear sign for a "no penalty" and to be honest, even after seeing a replay like five times, I am not sure how he managed to tangle his own feet together and trip himself.
There might actually have been a contact at the beginning of the sequence when Mascherano was chasing him but the video looked inconclusive. That would have been a good example for the video refereeing that will come into place in the forthcoming seasons.
So a very positive performance by the 19-year-old who was replaced by Walcott with a quarter of an hour to go, if he can consistently repeat this he will certainly have a bright future at the club and become a regular next season.

Carbon monoxide led to death of hotel guest
Coroner Ciaran MacLoughlin.
An inquest has been unable to determine the source of carbon monoxide which caused the death of a Co Cork hillwalker in a Connemara hotel in October 2017.
However, a jury at the inquest into the death of Betty Harrington, a 64-year-old mother of five from Donoughmore, Co Cork, has recommended that carbon monoxide alarms be made mandatory in all hotel rooms.
The jury at the Coroner's Court in Galway has also called on the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) to give "full disclosure" on all reports to coroners.
Galway West coroner Dr Ciaran McLoughlin heard that Mrs Harrington was found dead in her hotel room in Oughterard on the morning of October 30, 2017.
In a statement, Mrs Harrington's close friend Joan McCann of Waterfall, Co Cork, recounted how they travelled to Co Galway for a weekend in the Maaumturks and on Diamond Hill with the Bishopstown Hillwalking Club on Friday, October 27, 2017.
She was sharing a room with Mrs Harrington at the Connemara Lake Hotel in Oughterard, and they had a good day's walking in separate groups on Saturday October 28.
Ms McCann recalled that Mrs Harrington went to bed around 1am on the morning of Monday October 30, but Ms McCann did not arrive back in the room until 6am.
She stated that she fell asleep, but woke up a few hours later feeling very nauseous, with "the bedroom spinning", and she got sick.
Ms McCann said she thought it was something she had eaten. Nausea woke her up again around 10.30 to 11am, and she got dressed and went to the bathroom.
As she was worried about the time, she approached Mrs Harrington, put her hand on her left arm and it was cold.

The second installment of Charlie Hunter's project with drummer Bobby Previte includes New York sampling wizard DJ Logic in the rotating performer chair for a set of twelve sonic groove experiments. Hunter's guitar playing is unabashed as he wails away on top of many pulsing beats as heard on the groove opener, "Transit of Venus." Logic is especially effective using voice interjections and scratching to create a modern feel unlike most jazz-inflected dance recordings. The short understated follow-up piece, "Tycho Brahe" (named after the astronomer) provides a smooth transition into the slippery mood of "March 1741, Cape Horn." Previte's tight drumming interacts with Logic's cinematic sound embellishments while Hunter keeps a low profile until he establishes a heavy groove with his custom eight-string battle axe. "Course Made Good" is pure Hendrix circa Axis: Bold as Love with Hunter and Previte riffing away on a sweet groove. At times Hunter's playing reminds me of Adrian Belew's wilder trebly moments, as heard on the introduction to "Dead Reckoning," which is the best rave-up vamp recorded live by the combustible trio. In contrast, "Jupiter Mask" nearly re-invents the modern heavy blues rock motif with a vicious lead into a bass heavy riff complemented by bluesy twisted guitar. The disc also comes with a wondrously restrained four minute hidden ambient track which begins much like in Fripp and Eno ominous mode before transitioning into quiet ending that would make Cluster proud.

Earlier today we reported that a Muslim cabdriver was stabbed last night by a passenger in an apparent hate crime. The suspect is Michael Enright, a 21-year-old film student at the School of Visual Arts, originally from Brewster, NY. Mediaite has obtained videos that he made about a veteran suffering Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Foster Kamer at the Village Voice found Enright's Facebook page, and noted Enright's connection to Intersections International, a non-profit that promotes cross-cultural reconciliation and dialogue. This organization had recently issued a statement in support of Cordoba House, the "Ground Zero mosque." While Kamer believes this establishes a connection, the head of Intersections released a statement saying, "There is a person who fits the description of the alleged perpetrator who has worked with us as a volunteer, but until we get further confirmation of the details in this incident, we cannot comment."
Meanwhile, Alex Pareene of Salon's War Room blog has found two videos that Enright made. One is footage of a dialogue conducted by Intersection between a veteran and civilians, the other is a trailer for a documentary Enright was making about his friend entering the Marines and being deployed to Iraq. This dovetails with the New York Post's report that Enright had "recently returned from Afghanistan."
No one yet, however, has posted the videos that Enright made two years ago called John's Story, about a Vietnam veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, based on Larry Winter's book The Making and Un-making of a Marine.
John's Story – Part 1
Enright's Facebook page also lists him as a supporter of Assemblyman Greg Ball, the maverick conservative Republican who represents his home district and is running a heated primary campaign for the New York State Senate. While Ball is an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration (here's a video of him talking about illegal immigration as he walks through Enright's home town), he has never made a statement about the Cordoba House. Ball was unavailable for comment at press time.

Los Angeles-based model and cellist Patrick Belaga is the kind of guest you pray you'll run into at a holiday party. And no, it's not just because he has sparkling green eyes and looks great in a suit. Whether it's music, art, or how the two overlap, Belaga has a lot to say about a lot of things—and, like any good conversationalist, wants to know your thoughts on everything too. That quality is one of the reasons we cast him in our Express Your Gift campaign this season. That, and the fact that his improvisational style of playing his instrument is totally transporting. Get to know the lovely Belaga through our Q&A with the 26-year-old below. And be sure to check out his music on YouTube while you're at it. We promise, once you're through, you'll be ready to skip over the small talk too.
Patrick Belaga: I did a performance in Switzerland over the summer for Art Basel that was very special and illuminating and has been a continued source of inspiration for me. I did a lot of the original score for the Lady Gaga documentary "Five Foot Two" on Netflix, so that was another high point. Those are probably my two biggest moments.
The artist James Turrell. I went to one of his "Perceptual Cells" exhibitions here in Los Angeles. You lay in this dome that he's created, and the dome is lit up in various ways and there are sounds that go along with the colors. There's something about the way that he utilizes colors and sounds that speaks to the most primitive, base parts of my brain in a way that's hard to put to words. I was experiencing overwhelming emotions when I was in the dome, but not tied to any particular event or circumstance of my life. He's able to utilize the elements that he works with to elicit these crazy, intense reactions that are very cathartic—but you don't know why necessarily.
What habit are you saying goodbye to in 2018?
I'm saying goodbye to meat and embracing vegetarianism in 2018. It's a combination of all of the standard reasons; there is a moral thing, where I just can't get on board with the large-scale raising of animals that are meant to die. I also can't get on board with the terrible effect it has on the environment. And I can't really get on board with the detrimental health aspects of eating a lot of meat. So, I'm transitioning away from it this year.
To be honest, what inspired me to really make the commitment was watching that movie "Okja". It really got to me. I ate meat before that, even though I was always kind of grossed out by it. But then, after I watched that movie, like a month afterwards, I stopped eating red meat and felt so relieved. And then I started phasing out birds. I might stop at Pescatarian, I might still eat fish. We'll see.
You certainly live in the right city for being vegetarian.
How long have you lived in LA and what else do you like about the city?
I've been here for three and a half years. I enjoy, as you said, the quality of the food. The sunshine and the proximity to dramatic nature—forests and deserts and whatnot—are both huge pluses of living here.
What's on your agenda this month? Are you celebrating the holidays?
I was raised half Jewish and half Christian so I always celebrated both Hanukkah and Christmas growing up. Now I celebrate one or the other depending on who I'm with. This year I'll spend Christmas with my mom and my brother, we'll have a tree, and do the whole thing. I don't make a huge deal out of the holidays but I do love being able to spend time with my loved ones.
I've done some of my shopping. My mom is getting a necklace, and my brother is getting a coat. I have some more shopping to do. I have some friend gifts I need to figure out, but buying gifts for friends is hard because, like, do you want to be funny, or youthful, or sentimental? I'm trying to figure it out.
What would you typically wear to a holiday party?
I have this snowflake sweater that my grandmother gave me that is my go-to. She is not with us anymore so it has sentimental value for me and reminds me of her. It's also cashmere, which is a nice thing to have on. It's nice enough to wear to a semi-dressy party with black corduroys and dress shoes, but you can also wear it to a dressed down party with just jeans and boots.
For me, I tend to put on Nina Simone. Not all of her music is a dance-floor good time but I just find that it has such a human quality and so much soulfulness that it really has an effect on a room. I think people have more meaningful interactions with each other when her music is playing.
I read a lot. I really like to just light incense and sit in my apartment and quietly read. I also have a lot of instruments and sometimes I'll just sit around and bang on all of my instruments aimlessly. Those are the kinds of things that I do to take my mind off of all of the complexities of the outside world. It's like a form of meditation.
I just finished "East of Eden" by Steinbeck. I'm not a huge Steinbeck fan or anything, but it's a wonderful portrait on humanity and family and how family can give you a sense of purpose and being.
My most frequent genre though is Sci-Fi. Octavia Butler is one of my favorites; most of her stuff is from the '70s and '80s and she is black and a woman, which is rare and unusual in the Sci-Fi world, especially considering how celebrated she is. Her novels have an empathy that is largely absent from a lot of male Sci-Fi writers. Book after book she just continues to blow me away.
I am thankful for my mother, I know that's cliché but she does teach me important things about myself and the world. I am thankful for my two cats, Mom and Baby. They are, in fact, and mother and daughter pair. They are very good at keeping me company.


I know Teri isn't a big fan of my poop posts, but sometimes you just can't "pass" on material when it comes to you.
For example, the other day I ate an entire can of lentil bean soup for lunch. Big mistake. Big gassy mistake. It's like eating a can of methane.
As early as 3 p.m. I started noticing an uncomfortable pressure in my lower abdomen. By 4:00 I had to start crop dusting just so I wouldn't create a toxic cloud around my desk.
By the time I got home I was quacking like a duck with every step.
And before I turned in for the night, I had visited the gas station 3 times! Yikes-o-rama!
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, the can states right on the label that it's an "excellent source of fiber!" Ya... no kidding.
... other than reading lots of magazines in the bathroom that is.
Now I really needed to know about that ;O) I knew there was a good reason why I don't eat that stuff!
I am glad your camera is missing.
Gosh...and Bill gives me crap for serving squirrel. That's nuts.
This poop post sounds like a lot of fluff to me. Thanks for spilling the beans.
I'm glad you posted about this so I didn't have to go there. I had an identical situation a few months ago, except my problem was chili. But I couldn't find a safe haven, so I imploded at my desk. It was very painful, as you might imagine.
Thanks for the warning. Never again. Ow.
I don't think my wife is a big fan of my posts on farting either, but hey, we're guys, right? We wouldn't be guys without poop and gas humor.
You know what they say about a poop? It's the strongest thing in the world---even an elephant can't hold it in!
Ooooh, I think I'll serve some at my next party and then invite fun party games that can be played with gas! Hee! Hee!
I had a friend in collage whose mom told him that girls don't fart. He believed herfor a long time!
Thanks for the advice on the beans and making sure you leave some free time to "let it out".
CharcoCaps is an activated charcoal remedy that might help with your situation next time it comes up.
Their web site also offer more information about flatulence and gas including other foods that are likely to give you gas.
sornie - Oh yeah, LOVE the bean and bacon. That's why I thought I should try the lentil bean soup too. It was good... but holy cow!
babs - That's what I'm hear for. A full service blog.
rickey - I saw your recipe earlier and thought it looked delish. I'm thinking about whipping up a batch soon. I'll warn the family.
bill - What are you afraid of? It's not like I'll post anything here. On second thought... you're right - you should be glad.
jennine - Glad I could pass this information along.
kathy - Sounds like I'm treading on JD territory. I ate beans so you don't have to.
unfinishedrambling - Absolutely. Guys love to read about this stuff.
mom - Remember what Oprah said... "everybody poops!" Not that I'm comparing Oprah to an elephant.
jen - Cool! Maybe a contest of who can blow up a balloon the biggest! Great idea.
roger - I agree, but my laptop gets too warm on my legs. I think I need an upgrade.
elizabeth - Please don't tell me their poop doesn't come wrapped in little perfume-scented bags.
carlae - What? Just trying to help here.
gary - Nice ad, but seriously... your name is Gasman?
teri - I can't stop. I tried but I just can't. I may need help. Is there a 12-step program for bloggers who can't stop writing about poop?
You Know it SEEMS like a good idea to wrap your kids in newspaper to keep them warm at bedtime...but DAMN, that stuff is flameable!!!
OMG, more poop?! In addition to my last question to Mr. KIA, I would also like to ask why men are obsessed with pooping and farting. But I still want my other question answered. In fact, you can probably combine them.
I feel so sorry for your wife right now.
doozie - Yes, that is clearly a much more helpful PSA. I see what you mean.
mom thumb - Alrighty then... consider them merged.
jacki - What do you mean? I thought all wives loved it when their husbands farted. Don't they think it's cute and charming and enduring?
Farts aren't really any fun unless they smell bad, and for that you need protein. A good combo is sardines, hard boiled eggs, and canned turkey. Then the beans for volume. Time it about four to six hours before a long car ride with your friends. Fun for everyone!
I had a can of Campbell's Bean with Bacon soup yesterday (with the obligatory peanut butter sandwich) and all I can say is: thank GOD I work at home -- ALONE -- and my husband doesn't get home until late.
Tho my cats were rather annoyed.
rick - I bow to your superior ability to produce stank. I would never question your authority on this matter.
jd - Bah... everything annoys cats. What do they know?
Seeing as I don't like beans or soup, I think I'm in the clear.
It got to where he'd cut one (audibly) and then immediately get up and leave the room knowing that we'd be yelling at him to go in a second anyway.
Please add brats with chili.
I just realized that my comments aren't coming through anymore. This is a test.
Hmmm that's weird, I've left a few on several posts that never made it. Oh well, you gotta love those internet tubes. Anyway what I had said was, how can you be a geek when you are a cool rock'nroller?
I can't comment on your actual post because I'm CRACKING up at your mom!
If there is such a twelve-step program, then Doozie is the prez!

Q: Determine the correct number of topics using latent semantic analysis Starting from the following example
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.decomposition import TruncatedSVD

body = [
    'the quick brown fox',
    'the slow brown dog',
    'the quick red dog',
    'the lazy yellow fox'
]

vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer(use_idf=False, norm='l1')
bag_of_words = vectorizer.fit_transform(body)

svd = TruncatedSVD(n_components=2)
lsa = svd.fit_transform(bag_of_words)

I would like to understand if there is (perhaps in scikit-learn) a way to choose the most appropriate number of topics.
In my specific case I have chosen 2 topics (arbitrarily) but I would like to understand if there is a way in Python to generalize to larger cases (with more documents and more words) and choose the number of topics automatically.
Thank you for your help.

A: You can compute the explained variance with a range of the possible number of components. The maximum number of components is the size of your vocabulary.
performance = []
test = range(1, bag_of_words.shape[1], 2)

for n in test:
    svd = TruncatedSVD(n_components=n)
    lsa = svd.fit(bag_of_words)
    performance.append(lsa.explained_variance_ratio_.sum())

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 5))
plt.plot(test, performance, 'ro--')
plt.title('explained variance by n-components');

You can see in the graph by the slope between points how much each added component contributes to the performance of your model and when no more information is gained.

To get the number of components where no more information is added
import numpy as np

test[np.array(performance).argmax()]

Output
5

With the elbow method you can find the number of components before the largest decrease in added information
test[np.abs(np.gradient(np.gradient(performance))).argmax()]

Output
3

Paul mentioning the english football championship playoffs made me think of one of my own hobbyhorses in relation to Hadyn's suggestion of straight semis/finals for the npc. i'd much rather see some kind of 3 week system with either 4 or 5 sides but either way teams who finish 1 and 2 getting an extra life, so it goes 1v2 and 3v4. this is something i'd like to see in the english champ playoffs for much the same reason that paul hates them too: also an ipswich town fan. might give us a better shot. all might have meant that the hurricanes might've gotten through to a few more finals given how we always seem to end up playing the south island scummers in the semis....
it is interesting to extend giovanni's list of npc winners back a bit further, because it adds in three more interesting names:
1980 - manawatu
1979 - counties
1978 - wellington
1977 - canterbury
1976 - bay of plenty

As somebody isn't into rugby, maybe I could suggest an alternative approach.
There are several hundred thousand people in NZ who *are* really into the sport, enough to buy tickets to quite a few games. Plus all the people (including tourists and expats) who will turn out for NZ/England or whatever.
That equates to maybe $100 million in gate money (plus sponsorship), which should be enough when the cost of the stadiums (which I think the taxpayer has mostly already forked out for as a sunk cost?) is taken off to finance the game quite adequately.
So perhaps the rugby authorities should just cut their coats according to the cloth and accept that they'll never be able to pay the players Beckham type money?

The rugby season is too long, we need to cut out the boring bits. The round robin phase of the Air NZ Cup is boring, inconsequential rubbish - get rid of it.
Propose making the competition a straight knock-out like the FA cup. Our 26 unions makes for a 5 round competition, play each tie home & away and we have a short 10 week season. Top 6 teams from each year get a pass into the second round of the next year.
Every game would matter, all the provinces would have a chance and rugby would be the winner on the day.

I would guess that's a gross over-estimation. And even if that was the right figure, you are looking at 10-12 stadiums around the country, all of which need upkeep and employees (though they do get some volunteers). Then there are player salaries (say 10x $1.5M), coach salaries, etc etc.
Beyond that if every team received $10M each (I really do think that estimate is far too high) then they might be alright.
I think that's what we are mainly suggesting, while at the same time suggesting things they can do to increase the revenue.
LegBreak, 16:13 Sep 5, 2008
Pretty sure all ANZC teams run at a loss. It's just that the S14 franchise bases can underwrite it with their profits from that competition.
And there's your problems.
Ethan Tucker, 20:12 Sep 5, 2008
Hi all - an enjoyable discussion, this one. I'm only a casual rugby fan, someone who enjoys watching a game with mates but is turned off by the relentless deluge of matches. Particularly in the aforementioned Feb/Mar cricket zone, because I'm more a fan of that sport.
I've only been to a couple of All Blacks tests in my life due to the expense involved (both v Eng: Twickenham in Dec 97 and Wellington Jun 03), and have never been to an NPC or S14 match.
I think my casual interest in the game could have grown through the years if rugby had moderated its money grab and limited the number of matches played - the S14 being a prime culprit. I'd much rather watch an NPC match involving real teams with historic rivalries every week or two than a contrived intercontinental league. Similarly, the Tri-Nations needs to be scaled back because even solid fans are getting a bit sick of the flogging-an-ailing-horse modus operandi. Sure, it's nice 'n convenient to play Australia regularly, and the rivalry with SAf is interesting, but just look at the numbers of tests played against those two nations (130 and 75) as opposed to other interesting rivals: England 31, France 46, Scotland & Wales in the 20s, Argentina only 13. Familiarity breeds contempt.
And sure, I agree with those who call for more afternoon matches and a shift away from night matches. It's a winter sport! Call me soft if you want, but I'm not wearing six layers of clothes to go for a night out (bearing in mind that I used to live in Wellington, in which a night trip to the Stadium could be balmy but would more likely involve Antarctic breezes shooting up your trouser legs), and I certainly don't want every Fri or Sat evening out with my mates to revolve around a TV screen with a rugby match on. V is the S of L, and all that (where V=variety, etc.)
Lastly, one thing that occurred to me: in scanning this thread I don't think I saw the Ranfurly Shield mentioned. Now there's a bit of history that's worth reminding people about: a chance for the minnows to put one over on the moneybags teams. That's the sort of competition that breeds legends and keeps the spirit of the game alive.

The FA Cup can only work like that because the teams all play in another competition at the same time, so if a team gets knocked out they still have a whole nother set of games to play.
What rugby province is going to contract coaches, players (either amateur or professional), a whole infrastructure, stadium etc, couple of months of preseason training, when they might only play two games in a whole season.
It could only work if the teams were all playing in some parallel competition which wasn't a knockout, and we don't have that here.

While it is a bit late....
I watched Wellington play Manawatu last night, which on the whole was a pretty good game. I am a Wellington supporter though, so maybe my memory is tainted by the final result. But while watching I did think that one of the problems with rugby at the moment is that the refereeing seems arbitary at best. I could blame Steve Walsh (and a large part of me wants to) but I think any game you watch with any referee will seem the same. It is never clear when a ruck is formed, when the tackeld player is holding on etc. So any time the whistle goes it seems like the ref has just picked a number out of the hat.
If there was some way of making this clearer to everyone things may improve. I quite like the idea of the refs being miked, NFL-style, so that when they do blow the whistle they can then explain to the crowd what has happened. Even then the decision will still be random, but at least we'll all know.

What's the problem exactly? The local Cup's just a place to hide the lesser professionals once the Super's over and the ABs are on tour.
People don't like it? Duh. It's a meaningless "don't go to Europe yet, please" scheme that likes to pretend it's still the same premier rugby division of old, when it's not, and they simply can't afford to make it any more than that now it's all vaguely professional.
I'd argue they could take the Cup off Murdock (that lot can always show more foreign tests or some crap) and fit it to what it really is; a bunch of no-hopers and nearly-there's kicking a ball around on the afternoons before the real matches. Fit for local TV, taking the kids along, and national coverage of the finals.
Make it a small two-round (home and away) comp with separate semis and final, Saturday arvo only, no booze, overlapping late super and early tests. Finish early and let the lesser lights go winter in Europe when it's over like they did when we where pretending to be amateur. Auto relegation for a couple of the semi=pro teams down to regional comps below it to keep everyone interested. Tada.

I hate the English system for the fact that if you aren't a supporter of the three big teams all you can hope for is to not be relegated or to the team that gives one of the big teams an upset. "Go team! Don't Lose!" What a fun thing.
I'm not sure that's true -- Tottenham won the League Cup this year, and Portsmouth won the FA Cup. The most League titles won by any club is 17; the most NFL titles won is 12, and the most World Series' won is 26. The most FA Cups won by any team is 11. And the English footballing competitions are much older than either of the American competitions. Almost every English club has spent time in the lower divisions. However, if you look at the Scottish system, Rangers and Celtic utterly monopolise a very similar set up.
There isn't a simple correlation, and there certainly isn't a simple causation.
The other way that the US system makes it more likely different teams will win is that they have a daft post-season, which means that teams can utterly dominate the main league and then suffer an upset defeat to lose the trophy. I don't think that's a particularly good way to run a competition -- leagues and cups are different, and shouldn't be hybridised. The American system just makes it more of a lottery, after already using one of the more exhaustive ranking devices.

And the English footballing competitions are much older than either of the American competitions.
If you'll excuse the use of wikipedia:
The Southern League, covering the southern two-thirds of England and Wales, was founded in 1894 and is one of the oldest leagues still in existence
Whereas the MLB (baseball) was founded in 1869. So 26 titles (by the Yankees) over 139 years is pretty ok with me. And even if you only look at World Series wins that started officially in 1903, 9 years after "one of the oldest leagues" in British football.
The NFL is much younger (1920). But if you consider the professional era (as I was with football and rugby), that number drops to 5 (Cowboys, Steelers and 49ers).
a daft post-season, which means that teams can utterly dominate the main league and then suffer an upset defeat to lose the trophy
Isn't that exactly how they decide the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Champions Cup?
Seems a little odd considering that statistically football (soccer) is apparently the sport where a "bad" team is the most likely to upset a "good" team.
Yeah, the knockout competitions are decided that way. But leagues aren't, because once you've played every other team in the competition home-and-away you've tried every permutation, and you can just count up the points. There's no need for a knockout phase, except a desire for spectacle. I think that if you've won the league, you've won the league.
The American post-season gives you farcical results, like the Patriots winning all but one of their games, and then losing by a touchdown to a clearly worse team, but because that game was the Superbowl, losing the competition. I can't see how that's a fair way to run an event.
There's no need for a knockout phase, except a desire for spectacle. I think that if you've won the league, you've won the league.
That's precisely the system we used to have in the NPC which they did away with to have semis and a final because it was often known a week or two before the end of the season who was going to win it. It was badly designed and not suited for a modern sports competition.
I can't think of a single sports competition that doesn't enter a knock-out phase in some way at the finals.
And if a team wins all their games all year but then loses the big one, that loss probably says as much about them as every win.

Aside from all the national soccer leagues in Europe, you mean?
Oh, that's just rubbish. A league is a campaign that rewards consistency. An American style regular season followed by playoffs competition rewards peaking at the right time. They're simply two different formats. A team can win the former even while losing the last game or two to inferior competition, and is none the lesser for it. Of course in the latter format you don't get points for just winning the regular season, since that's not the ultimate prize. So I think the Patriots lost deservedly, in the same way that Inter won deservedly in Serie A in spite of their end of the season collapse.

Exactly, it's not like the teams don't know that, should they make the play-offs, they will be eliminated if they lose. You play to win the game, as the saying goes. There should be no, well "we can afford a late-season slump and still win" attitude.
(to go off track) having watched most of the season and then the Superbowl, there was no way the Patriots were the better team in that game. the Giants dominated the whole park and had gone undefeated over the last half of the season. They also had arguably a harder season (Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins) compared with the Patriots (Jets, Bills, and Dolphins).

I'm a Spurs fan and I still love following the EPL, even if we always seem to finish somewhere in the range of 4th to 12th.
People laugh at the League Cup and my delight over silverware, but are their teams going to Europe? No!!
<grin>
With regards to the Ranfurly Sheild, I really don't think it is given enough emphasis at the moment. (Emphasis? Support? something).
Loved going to the Sheild parades in Hamilton as a teenager, and the sheer pride that a sheild win would generate.
Of course my partner, in his thwarted rage at the demotion of Northland is hanging out for them to challenge for the sheild towards the end of the season, so they can take it down a division with them and not let the big teams challenge for it ever again ...

When I emigrated to NZ Waikato had the shield. We went to a chemist in Hamilton to buy some insect repellant and there it was, in all its splendour, sitting alongside sunscreens and assorted lotions. It taught me a couple of important lessons about New Zealand, right there. It also made me realise that the Italian soccer championship, being called scudetto or little shield, must have been something of that kind in origin
and that having an object to embody it would be way cool.
We are, emphatically, baseball fans. I LOVE baseball. There is nothing more fun to me than the seventh inning stretch. (Particularly as 'root root root for the home team' is much more amusing if you're a New Zealander...)
My husband, though, has an irrational dislike of the Yankees. (And the Knicks. And the Cowboys. And the Jazz. And the Cubs. And... yeah.)

That's cool then, I'm a Mets and Jets fan. And no dislike of sports teams is ever irrational, there is always some kind of warped logic behind it.
__I can't think of a single sports competition that doesn't enter a knock-out phase in some way at the finals.__
I don't know anything about soccer on the 'mainland', and very little about it in the UK, but if you say so.
__And if a team wins all their games all year but then loses the big one, that loss probably says as much about them as every win.__
Oh, that's just rubbish.
No I don't think so. Leagues work on averages - best performed team across a whole season. Which is a fair way to assess a team. It's perfectly possible to say a team had a great year, but didn't win the final or whatever.
But in terms of sports having great marketability, and building throughout a season towards a climax, you can't beat a knockout. Various grand finals throughout the world attract interest from a much bigger range of people than people that would normally watch those two teams play. More intense, more media interest, and more often than not, knockout games produce better games because players are 100% committed to winning, not the 99% that they are committed during the main season. You'll get more drama, heroism, players taking the field injured excitement etc.
Take for example the All Blacks. Great team all world cup year several times, favourites to win, fall over at the 2nd/3rd to last hurdle.
If that happens once, then its just 'sports'. Happens three or four times, it starts to say something about a team and its culture and mental toughness. Both critics, and many fans of the All Blacks would agree with that. You wouldn't learn that if they just played in a league - it's something that you discover from a knockout.
Doesn't make them a bad team, does start to indicate how they cope when the pressure is really on and it's win or go home.
Take for example the Stanley Cup Western Conference finals between San Jose Sharks and Dallas stars. Dallas won the first three games straight, but San Jose came back to win games four and five, and if they won game six, they would have had a deciding game 7 at home. At the end of regular time in game 6 the two teams are locked up 1-1. They went into four overtimes periods (that's a full additional game and a bit) before Dallas scored the game-winning goal. Both goaltenders stood on their heads to keep their teams in the game, the Dallas goaltender let in one goal and made 61 saves. The San Jose goaltender was just as good.
You won't see that sort of game any other way. I watched the whole thing, it was like a coaching manual on how one player can cling on to earn victory for their team.
Jo S,
I'm a Spurs fan too, but I think it's a while (early 90s?) since we finished 4th in the league
Richard Wain, 01:00 Sep 9, 2008
Woah, late post all right here, only ran across the entire thing tonight clearly but whoever it was who above said:
"leagues and cups are different, and shouldn't be hybridised"
is right on the money. At least the Air NZ Cup is correctly named, it's a Cup, not a league.
Perhaps the NZRU is allergic to the whole idea of something that has the word 'league' anywhere near it, but for me it's home and away the whole way.
Sure, have a knockout Cup, that's cool (European rugby has the Heineken Cup, if there were a way to have a trans-Tasman or broader, trans-Pacific Cup perhaps, that could be cool - but maybe the Ranfurly Shield is the real Cup, only it's not a real Cup is it... hmm) however Haydn (how did you avoid an 'e' in your name BTW? And it's Manawatu also, not Manuwatu. Sorry, professionally anal there) your master plan falls down badly with a 9-round robin.
Personally I've been enjoying this year's provincial championship. Even that turgid Shield clash got exciting in the last 10 on the weekend, because suddenly Southland realised they could win. And that Auckland weren't all that.
But it has to be home and away if it's the main event. And direct promotion/relegation.
And, it can't be that predictable when Wellington have won in living memory. Several times. And may win again this year! Roll on the Shield challenge...
Finally, the EPL (to use ESPN speak) isn't dull. Yes, a salary cap would be a good idea, no, it won't happen. Not a new idea but: FA Cup winners should get direct Champions League entry, that would help re-incentivise that competition. Just 3 spots available from the EPL.
PS How good are Manawatu this year? Not bad. Impressive. Just have to say...
Haydn (how did you avoid an 'e' in your name BTW? And it's Manawatu also, not Manuwatu. Sorry, professionally anal there)
It's Welsh, but it's spelled Hadyn :)
And I probably misspelled Manawatu because I like to say it like Vanuatu.

The Fiji Cane Lorry Association has handed a 14 day strike notice to the Fiji Sugar Corporation.
The Association members claim they are given second preference over the built-in trucks that are transporting mechanically harvested cane.
The members want all trucks to follow the procedure of waiting in the queue before their cane is off-loaded.
Khan says the strike notice – which was given yesterday – is in breach of the Sugar Industry Act.

Q: Label shows 2 text values on refresh I have a label that shows a status. I update the status using this function which get a number from 0 to 3 from my database.
the label is declared as weak:
@IBOutlet weak var dealProgressLabel: UILabel!

then
func updateDealStatus(){

    dealProgressActivityIndicator.startAnimating()
    api.loadDealDetails(dealIdent!, completionHandler: { (status, error ) -> Void in

        if error != nil{

            print(error)
        }
        else{
            if let dealStatusProgr = status{

                print("deal status is now\(dealStatusProgr)")
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
                    self.setDealProgressStatusLabel(Int(dealStatusProgr)!)
                    self.dealProgressActivityIndicator.stopAnimating()
                    self.refreshControl?.endRefreshing()
                }
            }

        }
    })
}

then I just use a switch to change the text label:
func setDealProgressStatusLabel(dealProgress: Int){

    switch dealProgress {

    case 0:

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){

        self.dealProgressLabel.text =  "Waiting for Payment"
        self.dealProgressLabel.textColor = UIColor.redColor()
        self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.paymentButton

        }

    case 1:

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){

            self.dealProgressLabel.text = "Waiting to Redeem"
            self.dealProgressLabel.textColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()
            //  self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.disputeButton
            self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil

        }

    case 2:
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){

            self.dealProgressLabel.text = "Waiting for Review"
            self.dealProgressLabel.textColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()
            self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.addReviewButton

        }

    case 3:

        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){

            self.dealProgressLabel.text = "Completed"
            self.dealProgressLabel.textColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()
            self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil

        }

    default:

        self.dealProgressLabel.text = ""

    }

}

The problem is that, if I process the payment, the label correctly shows the next status "waiting to Redeem".

However when I refresh the tableView with:
func reloadModelWhenPull(sender:AnyObject){
    updateDealStatus()
}

both text "waiting for payment" and "waiting to redeem" are shown one on top of each other.

When I pull again, "waiting for payment" disappeared.
print("deal status is now\(dealStatusProgr)")

always shows the correct status number so I don't  know what do to anymore.
Lastly, I call updateDealStatus in viewWillAppear
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    updateDealStatus()
}

***************************************UPDATE***************
I kept refreshing and I found out that the problem happen for approximately the first 60/90 seconds or so. After that it always shows only the correct text?
Any idea?
***************************************UPDATE2***************
if I wait approximately 10 second before I pull refresh the problem doesn't happen. If I can start refreshing immediately then it happen indefinetely

A: func setDealProgressStatusLabel(dealProgress: Int){

            self.dealProgressLabel.text = "" //Empty as method starts
            ...
}

It will set "" before assigning new value.

A: I just changed this and it works:
 let priority = DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(priority, 0)) {
                    // moved my switch here
                    self.setDealProgressStatusLabel(Int(dealStatusProgr)!)
                    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
                        print(dealStatusProgr)
                        self.dealProgressActivityIndicator.stopAnimating()
                        self.refreshControl?.endRefreshing()
                    }

                }

this  point me to the right direction.

Q: While button is being pressed How do i set up a button (IBAction and UIButton attached) to continue to run the IBAction or a function while the button is being pressed, running a functioning continuously until the button is let up.
Should i attach a value changed receiver?
Simple question, but I can't find the answer.

A: [myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonIsDown) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonWasReleased) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

- (void)buttonIsDown
{
     //myTimer should be declared in your header file so it can be used in both of these actions.
     NSTimer *myTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.1 target:self selector:@selector(myRepeatingAction) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

- (void)buttonWasReleased
{
     [myTimer invalidate];
     myTimer = nil;
}

A: Add a dispatch source iVar to your controller...
dispatch_source_t     _timer;

Then, in your touchDown action, create the timer that fires every so many seconds.  You will do your repeating work in there.
If all your work happens in UI, then set queue to be
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_main_queue();

and then the timer will run on the main thread.
- (IBAction)touchDown:(id)sender {
    if (!_timer) {
        dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(
            DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
        _timer = dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_TIMER, 0, 0, queue);
        // This is the number of seconds between each firing of the timer
        float timeoutInSeconds = 0.25;
        dispatch_source_set_timer(
            _timer,
            dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, timeoutInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC),
            timeoutInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC,
            0.10 * NSEC_PER_SEC);
        dispatch_source_set_event_handler(_timer, ^{
            // ***** LOOK HERE *****
            // This block will execute every time the timer fires.
            // Do any non-UI related work here so as not to block the main thread
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                // Do UI work on main thread
                NSLog(@"Look, Mom, I'm doing some work");
            });
        });
    }

    dispatch_resume(_timer);
}

Now, make sure to register for both touch-up-inside and touch-up-outside
- (IBAction)touchUp:(id)sender {
    if (_timer) {
        dispatch_suspend(_timer);
    }
}

Make sure you destroy the timer
- (void)dealloc {
    if (_timer) {
        dispatch_source_cancel(_timer);
        dispatch_release(_timer);
        _timer = NULL;
    }
}

A: UIButton should call a starting method with touchDown event and call ending method with touchUpInside event

President Obama And Chancellor Merkel's Full 2016 Press Conference Germany
Every person in The United States should see this press conference in it's entirety. It will scare the shit out of you. It will also help you cross that bridge. This is real, this is happening and we must be prepared.
President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel discuss President-elect Trump, the European Union, Syria, Russia, and NATO during a press conference in Berlin.
 Ted Cruz Would Be a Very Dangerous Attorney General
 During his presidential campaign, Cruz proposed a series of radical actions outside the norms of US law enforcement.

Key Electoral College Dates
States must make final decisions in any controversies over the appointment of their electors at least six days before the meeting of the Electors. This is so their electoral votes will be presumed valid when presented to Congress.
Decisions by states' courts are conclusive, if decided under laws enacted before Election Day.
The Electors meet in their state and vote for President and Vice President on separate ballots. The electors record their votes on six "Certificates of Vote," which are paired with the six remaining Certificates of Ascertainment.
The electors sign, seal, and certify six sets of electoral votes. A set of electoral votes consists of one Certificate of Ascertainment and one Certificate of Vote. These are distributed immediately as follows:
one set to the President of the Senate (the Vice President) for the official count of the electoral votes in January;
two packages to the Secretary of State in the state where the electors met—one is an archival set that becomes part of the public record of the Secretary of State's office and the other is a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes;
two packages to the Archivist—one is an archival set that becomes part of the permanent collection at the National Archives and Records Administration and the other is a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes; and
one set to the presiding judge in the district where the Electors met—this is also a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes.
Electoral votes (the Certificates of Vote) must be received by the President of the Senate and the Archivist no later than nine days after the meeting of the electors. States face no legal penalty for failure to comply.
If votes are lost or delayed, the Archivist may take extraordinary measures to retrieve duplicate originals.
On or Before January 3, 2017
The Archivist and/or representatives from the Office of the Federal Register meet with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House in late December or early January. This is, in part, a ceremonial occasion. Informal meetings may take place earlier.
The Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. Congress may pass a law to change this date.
The Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results of the Electoral College vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.
If a State submits conflicting sets of electoral votes to Congress, the two Houses acting concurrently may accept or reject the votes. If they do not concur, the votes of the electors certified by the Governor of the State on the Certificate of Ascertainment would be counted in Congress.
If no Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for the House of Representatives to decide the Presidential election. If necessary the House would elect the President by majority vote, choosing from the three candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each state having one vote.
If no Vice Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment provides for the Senate to elect the Vice President. If necessary, the Senate would elect the Vice President by majority vote, choosing from the two candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each Senator having one vote.
If any objections to the Electoral College vote are made, they must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one Senator. If objections are presented, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider their merits under procedures set out in federal law.

Everyone likes to say, "Hitler did this", and, "Hitler did that". But the truth is Hitler did very little.
