Positive vibes on the first day of IPM '23
It's your typical German weather day in Essen, so it's the perfect time to attend the IPM to brighten up the day. Last year, IPM had a summer edition. While it was still a very valuable show, the experience of a classic IPM was missing. So, it didn't come as a surprise that people were looking forward to this edition. There was indeed quite some traffic to get to the show venue - though admittedly, that's quite common in that area.
Peter Dekker with Peter Dekker Installaties, Mark Verdouw with Olsthoorn, Jelmer Huizing with Hawe, and Dennis Zwinkels with Olsthoorn
Kalina Kononenko, Saskia Reimann Karolin Theele and Thomas Wörmer
Mark van Dijk and Leon Strik from Svensson are visited by John van Haasenbroek en Jack van der Voort with SchermNed.
The atmosphere at the show is very positive, and there's widespread good energy after years of project postponements and such. With energy and raw materials prices finally climbing down, projects are being picked up again. At the same time, the experience of the pandemic and all the challenges that came afterwards make people think of how the show will continue now and, generally speaking, in the near future.
This also raises the question of why some of the big players are MIA, such as Danziger, Florensis, and Royal van Zanten, for instance. That aside, the show is packed with 1,330 exhibitors coming from 46 different countries.
You can also come visit us at our booth, Hall GA
Stand GA-47, where you can pick up our Greenhouse Guide for free.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's update!

Forest fire smoke, chlorine in swimming pools, floating allergens and spinning fans all can stress our eyes in the summer. Add bone-dry air, sandstorms and high levels of ultra-violet rays, and serious eye damage can result.
UNM ophthalmologist Linda Rose, MD, sees all types of corneal damage in the high desert of New Mexico. Her clinical focus is on the cornea – the outermost surface of the eye (or, as Rose puts it, "the windshield in front of the white part").
"New Mexico is so arid," says Rose, who is the director of Cornea and External Diseases Services for the UNM Eye Clinic, and an associate professor in the UNM School of Medicine. "Some eyes get so dry they look like someone has taken a piece of sandpaper to our corneas and roughed them up." That's painful and oftentimes feels like there's actually something in the eye, she says.
Our eyes aren't completely defenseless against these ocular assaults. They blink and tear regularly, releasing layers of vital moisture protection.
These stratified layers within tears protect against dry eye and other irritants that can take a toll on our comfort and vision, and result in dry eye syndrome. Dry eye happens when our eyes don't make enough tears and/or the tears dry up too quickly, Rose says. For some it happens as we age. For others, it can be a side effect of certain medications.
Worsening dry eye can make it difficult for some people to wear contact lenses and cause moderate to severe discomfort. Dry eye also can encourage cataract development.
"The lipids are the key," Rose says.
Our eyelashes contain glands that produce the lipid part of the natural eye lubricant. If these glands malfunction or become plugged, eye comfort and health suffer, resulting in burning, itching, redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision and other distressing symptoms.
For quick relief, Rose suggests a warm compress to help unclog the glands that deliver the lipid layer to our tears. She recommends using raw rice in a sock or stocking heated to a tolerable level in a microwave oven. "Warm the eyelids for five to 10 minutes and then massage the outside of the lids to unclog the oil glands," she says.
Good basic hydration, Omega-3 fatty-acid supplements and even humidifiers all can help minimize discomfort. Avoid being in the direct line of blowing vents and fans, and wear a hat, sunglasses and protective goggles.

Density-dependent effects on tree survival in an old-growth Douglas fir forest
F. He, R.P. Duncan
1 We mapped the locations of live and dead trees in a large forest plot dominated by pioneer Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) with an understorey of the invading late-successional species western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and western red cedar (Thuja plicata) on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, to test for intra- and interspecific density-dependent effects on tree survival.
2 We analysed both the spatial patterning of trees in the plot and the relationships between neighbourhood density and tree survival. We also examined the effects of additional variables (principally elevation) as covariates in our neighbourhood analyses.
3 Both the spatial and initial neighbourhood analyses suggested strong intra- and interspecific density-dependent effects on tree survival. Douglas fir survival was significantly higher in less dense patches of conspecifics and non-random tree death led to regularly spaced survivors, as expected from intraspecific competition. The significantly lower survival of western hemlock in denser patches of Douglas fir and the resulting negative spatial association between surviving trees of these two species were consistent with interspecific competition.
4 However, having controlled for the influence of elevation on tree survival (probably mediated by variation in soil moisture) in neighbourhood analyses, although the survival of the pioneer Douglas fir trees was still subject to strong density-dependent effects, variation in its density in the overstorey no longer appeared to influence the survival of the invading late-successional species. There was, however, evidence for asymmetric interspecific density dependence between the two late-successional species since western hemlock mortality tended to be higher in denser patches of western red cedar.
5 Our results emphasize the importance of considering confounding factors in studies that seek evidence for density dependence.

Gold's Multiplying Effect Comes Roaring Back
Written by Adam English
Let me show you something a lot of people don't understand about the gold sector.
It'll perfectly illustrate how the market is handing us a fantastic opportunity.
It is profoundly easy to make more money off the same basic trend just by picking the right ticker.
Right now, it means the difference between being up 30% or up 46%. And that is just with ETFs.
This is the gold multiplier effect and it is back in play after a long hiatus.
We can use a year-to-date chart to see this multiplier effect in action.
While gold prices — represented by GLD, though it is trailing spot gold prices by about 1.5% — are up 30% over the last year, gold miners both large — represented by GDX — and small — represented by GDXJ — are up about 46%.
So what gives? Why the split between the price of gold and companies that are almost solely dependent on the price of gold for revenues?
This is actually how the gold market is supposed to look. Gains don't happen at a one-to-one ratio. Gold miners, past a certain point, see nothing but greater profits.
Once the capital expenditures — which are massive, to be fair — are done, it is just a matter of pulling more and more money out of the ground.
For a long time, this effect was muted by a lack of investor demand.
This is the stock market after all. If buyers don't show up in great enough numbers, there isn't as much upward pressure on price because there are fewer people bidding against each other for the shares that are for sale.
All eyes are on the broader market and the gains it is posting, with more traditional sectors and blue-chip stocks drawing in investor funds that are pushing valuations into the stratosphere.

While the crowd was focused elsewhere, investment in gold companies fell off.
That has most certainly changed and it is further multiplying the effect of gold price gains on gold miner share prices. The best gold stocks are already starting to draw renewed attention.
However, the extra attention is still relatively low, hinting at a further run for gold miner stocks even as gold prices orbit the $1,950-per-ounce level.
We're looking at a small window where investing in gold stocks could still be considered a contrarian play as it transitions to a true momentum play.
While gold prices are basically at the same level they were at back in 2011, gold mining stocks — which have dramatically improved their balance sheets, production costs, and cash flows — are still about 33% lower than they were back then.
Very few institutional investors and extreme high-net-worth investors seem to be allocating a substantial portion of their money to gold right now.
In short, people have caught on, but we're still in early days, and there is plenty of potential left.
If you've been kind enough to read my articles in the past you know that I like gold but I'm not a gold bug.
I see a good reason to maintain some exposure to it in any portfolio but not a ton of it.
The goal, after all, is to generate gains without taking on excessive risk. Gold is a great part of that equation these days.
I can understand if people don't like gold at all. Warren Buffett is right, it is just a lump of metal that sits there and does nothing.
Buffett also just bet on gold and ditched his bank positions. That is telling. Anyone who dismisses a gold market like this is doing themselves a massive disservice by letting their gut make the call. Be agnostic about the source of your gains. I'm pretty sure that's where Buffett is now.
Mr. Market is handing investors a great way to profit and the trend has long legs. Take advantage of it while you can by getting in on the best gold miner stocks out there
With plenty of room for gold miners to run and the broader market showing no desire to push valuations much higher, it's the right call to make.

Rearrangements of chromosome 3 which result in fusion of the RPN1 and EVI1 (also known as MECOM) genes are found in a small number of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), or with therapy-related AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). These patients often have thrombocytosis. This gene fusion defines a specific AML subtype, and it carries prognostic implications.

Il Leggendario Inglese Meridionale, noto anche come Legenda Inglese Meridionale (in inglese: South English Legendary, spesso abbreviato in SEL) è un'opera agiografica medio-inglese databile alla seconda metà del XIII secolo. La raccolta contiene numerose vite di santi di lunghezza variabile, e anche le vite di Giuda e Pilato. L'identità dell'autore è sfortunatamente ignota, ma è probabile che, nella sua prima versione, il Leggendario sia stato redatto in ambiente benedettino.

Manoscritti
Il Leggendario Inglese Meridionale dovette essere un testo estremamente popolare in epoca medievale. Dell'opera, in effetti, ci sono pervenute più di sessanta copie manoscritte, un numero superato solamente da Piero l'Aratore, dai Racconti di Canterbury, e dal Prick of Conscience. Tali copie presentano tutte inflessioni dialettali particolari che possono rivelarsi preziose anche ai fini della datazione.Il manoscritto più antico del Leggendario (MS Laud Misc.108) è conservato alla Bodleian Library dell'Università di Oxford e risale probabilmente al 1265, anche se Carl Horstmann propone una datazione leggermente più tarda (1280-90).

Le più importanti copie manoscritte del Leggendario si conservano nei manoscritti seguenti:

 Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud Misc. 108
 Londra, British Library, Harley 2277
 Oxford, Bodleian Library, Ashmole 43

Q: Reversal and removing of duplicates in a sentence I am preparing for a interview question.One of the question is to revert a sentence. Such as "its a awesome day" to "day awesome a its. After this,they asked if there is duplication, can you remove the duplication such as "I am good, Is he good" to "good he is, am I".
for reversal of the sentence i have written following method
public static string reversesentence(string one)
{
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

    string[] split = one.Split(' ');
    for (int i = split.Length-1; i >= 0; i--)
    {

        builder.Append(split[i]);
        builder.Append(" ");
    }
    return builder.ToString();

}

But i am not getting ideas on removing of duplication.Can i get some help here.

A: This works:
public static string reversesentence(string one)
{
    Regex reg = new Regex("\\w+");
    bool isFirst = true;
    var usedWords = new HashSet<String>(StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
    return String.Join("", one.Split(' ').Reverse().Select((w => {
        var trimmedWord = reg.Match(w).Value;
        if (trimmedWord != null) {
            var wasFirst = isFirst;
            isFirst = false;

            if (usedWords.Contains(trimmedWord)) //Is it duplicate?
                return w.Replace(trimmedWord, ""); //Remove the duplicate phrase but keep punctuation

            usedWords.Add(trimmedWord);

            if (!wasFirst) //If it's the first word, don't add a leading space
                return " " + w;
            return w;
        }
        return null;
    })));
}

Basically, we decide if it's distinct based on the word without punctuation. If it already exists, just return the punctuation. If it doesn't exist, print out the whole word including punctuation.
Punctuation also removes the space in your example, which is why we can't just do String.Join(" ", ...) (otherwise the result would be good he Is , am I instead of good he Is, am I
Test:
reversesentence("I am good, Is he good").Dump();
Result:
good he Is, am I

A: For plain reversal:
String.Join(" ", text.Split(' ').Reverse())

For reversal with duplicate removal:
String.Join(" ", text.Split(' ').Reverse().Distinct())

Both work fine for strings containing just spaces as the separator. When you introduce the , then problem becomes more difficult. So much so that you need to specify how it should be handled. For example, should "I am good, Is he good" become "good he Is am I" or "good he Is , am I"? Your example in the question changes the case of "Is" and groups the "," with it too. That seems wrong to me.

A: The other answer points to using abstractions but interviewers usually want to see implementation.
For the reversal, the usual trick is to reverse the sentence first and then reverse each word as you travel from left to right. A space will you tell you that you have reached the end of a word. (See Programming Interviews Exposed for a solution to this or just google it. This used to be a VERY popular interview question). Your approach works but is frowned upon because you are using extra space (O(n)).
For removing duplicates, if you're only working with ASCII, you can do the following:
    bool[] seenChars = new bool[128];
    var sb = new StringBuilder();

    foreach(char c in stringOne)
    {
        if(!seenChars[c]){
            seenChars[c] = true;
            sb.Append(c);
        }
    }

    return sb.ToString();

The idea is to use the value of the char as an index in the array to tell you whether you've seen this character before or not. With this approach, you will be using O(1) space!
Edit: If you want to de-duplicate words, you probably want to use a HashSet and skip adding it if it already exists.

A: try this
string sentence = "I am good, Is he good";

        var words = sentence.Split(new char[]{' ',','}).Distinct(StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);

        var stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

        foreach(var item in words)
        {
            stringBuilder.Append(item);
            stringBuilder.Append(" ");
        }
        Console.Write(stringBuilder);
        Console.ReadLine();

Tiger Woods is playing this week's Waste Management Phoenix Open with his new Nike Golf TW '15 shoe – the latest (and best looking) signature golf shoe in the TW family and the first to feature Nike's breakthrough Flyweave technology in the upper.
The TW '15 is the latest collaboration between Woods and Tobie Hatfield, Nike Senior Director of Athlete Innovation. Woods debuted their first project as a prototype at the WGC Bridgestone in 2011. Since then, each generation TW-series has featured a Nike Free-inspired outsole.
The TW '15, according to Nike Golf, integrates Dynamic Flywire into a Flyweave upper with a Nike Free outsole. The result, the company says, is a golf shoe that provides the "ultimate level'' of stability, fit and flexibility.
Nike Golf says Flyweave enables the creation of a one-piece upper that is woven to provide great strength-to-weight support where it is needed most based upon the demands, or movements, of the sport. While strong and supportive, Nike Golf says Flyweave is also lightweight and flexible.
Nike debuted Flyweave in a basketball shoe in 2014. Even though the dynamic movements of a basketball player's feet are different from those of a golfer, each require stability and a natural range of motion.
Due to the lightweight Flyweave technology and the golf-specific Nike Free-inspired outsole, Hatfield said designers were able to make the TW '15 ten percent lighter than the previous model.
A limited number of the Nike TW '15 shoes will be available on nike.com beginning Feb. 2. The Nike TW '15 will be available at retail – in three colorways – on March 5.

Q: Emacs started as emerge by `git mergetool' I want to run different init script when Emacs is started into Emerge mode directly by `git mergetool'.
Seems emacs is called with the command line:
"""
  -l file, --load file
  Load the lisp code in the file file.
"""
However, how should I know inside dot-emacs script it's invoked differently?  Which variable should I probe.


As with the last "reading" I went to at the eBar (with Michael Adams), this wasn't really a reading but more an interview, with Ondjaki's English translator (Stephen Henighan) asking the questions. As with the Adams event, I think this was a better format. In part because it would have been weird hearing an author reading a translation of his own work, but also because interviews are more interesting than readings anyway. I've said it before but every time I go to one of these things I'm reminded of how poor most readings are. They only work in the very few cases where the author is a truly talented stage performer as well.
I don't know how good a reader Ondjaki is, but he was great in conversation. He had some good anecdotes to tell and charm to burn. I even found out a bit about Angola, which admittedly wasn't hard since I knew absolutely nothing about Angola before this aside from where it is on a map. I didn't even know Luanda (the setting of Transparent City) was the capital.
There was a question from the floor about the title that I wish there had been follow-up with. I was wondering if Ondjaki meant something like "invisible" when he uses the word "transparent." The point (or one of the points) he makes in the book is that people are transparent because they're poor, so are they like the invisible underclass Paul Fussell wrote about, or the invisibility of Ellison's Invisible Man? That's the impression I get, but at the same time the main character's transparency also makes him highly noticeable, someone to gawk at. So maybe something different was meant.
A good show, and well-attended for this neck of the woods. I wish we could have more like it.


The Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013 made self-directed support a legal right for everyone receiving social care. it is based on the statutory principles of participation and dignity; involvement; informed choice and collaboration.
Implementation of self-directed support is a major culture shift for everyone working in social care and also affects the systems that we use to administer and track support. Much has been achieved since we began moving to self-directed support in 2010 and you can read about progress here.
In that time, Scottish Goverment have increased their understanding of what needs to change for self-directed support to work well. They have developed a draft Change Map of the key building blocks that need to be in place and would like your views on it. You can see a copy of the Change Map here.
At these event the Scottish Government will seek your views on the Change Map and on what is working well as part of their engagement work to inform our new Implementation Plan from 2019-2021. They will also explore what you think should happen at national level to support the changes you are making at local level.
The Scottish Government will be working separately with people who receive social care, their families and carers.
Registration, tea and coffee will be available from 09:30. The event will start at 10.00 am and finish after a buffet lunch at 14:00.
If you have any questions or comments, please email Catriona.Kennedy@gov.scot.
We hope you can make it along or take part in the survey!

GRIEB & BENZINGER the Blue Merit
GRIEB & BENZINGER proudly presents its 2014 spring top highlight: the BLUE MERIT,
a tourbillon based on the famous, rare, and sought-after Tourbillon Pour le Mérite by A. Lange & Söhne.
Just in time for the 20th anniversary of A. Lange & Söhne`s re-launch in 1994, the masters of GRIEB & BENZINGER surprise watch collectors with a creation displaying deep respect for A. Lange & Söhne`s art of watchmaking. The Tourbillon Pour le Mérite is one of the original representatives of the remarkable comeback of this imperial watch brand, which was resuscitated following almost 50 years of slumber caused by Germany's historical division. It was a matter dear to the GRIEB & BENZINGER masters` heart to create this amazing masterpiece.
Watch aficionados are aware of the complexity of the tremendously sought-after and highly valuable Pour le Mérite Tourbillon, however, what the masters of skeletonization of GRIEB & BENZINGER did within twelve months was sheer unbelievable: they transformed this timepiece into a breathtaking new watch.
The movement was completely modified to comply with the style characteristic of GRIEB & BENZINGER. This intense horological work took the artisans' full attention. In hand-skeletonizing and guilloché the base plate, the team at GRIEB & BENZINGER journeyed to the edge of what is possible.
Since the fine guilloché on the plates and bridges necessitated moving original drillings by less than one-twentieth of a millimeter, the movement needed to be carefully reassembled, adjusted, disassembled numerous times and finally assembled in order to guarantee full, harmonious functioning of the great number of components and hidden bolts and pins.
And as if that were not enough, one more bridge had to be created due to the skeleton works and the modified layout. Every single cock and bridge was skeletonized by hand, guilloché by hand and coated with rhodium and rose gold. Even the gear wheels were also embellished with fine guilloché. Finally, the base plate was coated with blue platinum, a signature element of every single, unique GRIEB & BENZINGER piece.
The skeletonized Sterling silver dial was embellished with a rare Breguet frosted finish created using the classic method, which is only presently practiced in this manner at GRIEB & BENZINGER. The rose gold-coated steel hands perfectly match the rose-gold tourbillon escapement that has also been modified in color in tribute to the new GRIEB & BENZINGER style.
These numerous details once again show that the complicated masterpieces of GRIEB & BENZINGER are more objets d'art than watches. The artisanal crafts carried out by hand here cannot be copied in an industrial way and are thus only to be achieved by the talents of the masters of GRIEB & BENZINGER, who work with these long-forgotten techniques every day.
With the BLUE MERIT tourbillon in solid platinum, GRIEB & BENZINGER has created another breathtaking collector's item, confirming the brand's special position within the world of luxury watches. Who other than these masters of their crafts in this special workshop would have the courage to modify such a rare and revered movement?
The fact that all GRIEB & BENZINGER Platinum timepieces are one-of-a-kind ensures that their value will increase over time. This ultra-exclusive timepiece by GRIEB & BENZINGER will please exactly one single lucky collector worldwide for the price of US$ 530,000 (385,000 €).

Q: How can I call a custom function in tryton after record creation? I need to perform a notification on a non tryton database after the creation of the record.
I see that it's possible to overwrite the create function.. but there is any better solutions to be sure to be after the commit of the database ?
I do in this way

@classmethod
def create(cls, values):
    newObject = super(Inventory, cls).create(values)
    newObject.notifieToMainServer()

regards

A: Yes, you can call a function when the Transcation is commited by using the atexit function of the tryton Transaction.
So your code will be something like:
from trytond.transaction import Transaction

@classmethod
def create(cls, values):
   records = super().create(values)
   Transaction.atexit(notifyToMainServer)
   return records

If you need to prevent the commit of the transaction when the notification can not be sent, you can use the Two-Phase commit protocol by joining some datamangers on the Transaction. Tryton by default implements an sendmail_transactional function which may be used as reference for implementing a DataManager to send your custom notifications.
Hope it helps!

The Most Exciting Updates Coming To Disney Parks in 2018 And Beyond
To infinity, and beyond!
By Kristen Amiet 17 July 2017
Disney's D23 fan expo wrapped up in Anaheim, California, overnight, and – aside from dropping the first pictures and official name of the much-anticipated Star Wars Land headed for their California and Florida parks – they've announced a slew of awesome updates for the broader Disney universe.
Toy Story Land to open in 2018
We've known Toy Story's much-anticipated namesake land was headed for Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, for a while now, but now we know it'll be here within the year! The whimsical land will see visitors shrunk to the size of a toy (not literally) and features rides like a family-friendly rollercoaster called the Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers.
Super heroes head for Disney California Adventure park
While most of the details are still hush-hush, Spider-Man and the Avengers are set to join the Guardians of the Galaxy and a "completely immersive" Super Hero universe at the California Adventure park in Anaheim, California. According to a Disney blog post, parks visitors can "team up with [their] favourite Super Heroes like never before".
Pixar gets its own pier
Likewise, the Paradise Pier at the California Adventure park is set to get a very Pixar makeover, with neighbourhoods from The Incredibles, Inside Out and Toy Story set to become permanent additions to the waterfront boardwalk. It's set to open in 2018, along with a temporary celebration of all-things Pixar called PixarFest.
Shanghai's top-rated Tron on the way to Florida
The TRON Lightcycle Power Run is the number-one attraction at Shanghai Disneyland for a reason and, now, it's headed for Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The roller-coaster-style attraction sees riders perched atop a train of two-wheeled cycles.
New space will be carved out next to Space Mountain for the ride, which will open in time for the park's 50th anniversary in 2021.
Getting around goes sky-high
Visitors to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, will be able to travel between the park's resorts (and rest weary feet) on the just-announced Disney Skyliner, which will give guests a bird's-eye-view of all the park's universes.
A fleet of Minnie Mouse-themed vehicles were also announced, with the intention of transporting VIP guests between the park's attractions.

Congress to take out Karavali Malnad Dhwani Yatra from February 5
January 25, 2023 07:55 pm | Updated January 26, 2023 10:46 am IST - MANGALURU

Following the Praja Dhwani Yatra, the Congress will take out Karavali Malnad Dhwani Yatra between February 5 and March 10, to enlighten people on the development projects that the party will implement if it comes to power in the coming Assembly elections in the State.
Randeep Singh Surjewala, All-India Congress Committee general secretary and Karnataka in charge, told reporters here on Wednesday that the proposed yatra will cover all 26 Assembly constituencies of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada, Chikkamagaluru, and Kodagu districts.
The first phase of the yatra which will start from Sullia on February 5 will be till February 9.
After a break for the State Legislature session, the second phase of the yatra will resume and will be held between February 16 and March 10.
Apart from the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council B. K. Hariprasad, other leaders namely R.V. Deshpande, Vinay Kumar Sorake, and B. Ramanath Rai will take part in the yatra.
"We will enlighten people on the assurances that we have made for the people of the region. More assurances will be made during the yatra and all of them will be enforced if our government comes to power in the State."
Through these yatras, Mr. Surjewala said, the party will build a positive narrative of development of the State and this will be in stark contrast to the classical divide and rule policy of the Bharatiya Janata Party ruling at the Centre and the State.
The Congress, he said, believed that harmony will propel the country forward. "We will continue with our development agenda and this right cause will always win," he said, while criticising the BJP for, what he said, pursuing communal agenda and hatemongering to garner voters.
The ruling BJP has the weakest Chief Minister in the form of Basavaraj Bommai and the government has failed to fulfil 95% of the promises that have been made, he alleged.
On the reluctance of other party representatives to take part in the conclusion of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar on January 26, Mr. Surjewala said the yatra was led by former Congress president Rahul Gandhi to highlight issues of inflation, communal politics, and other burning issues. "We cannot expect all parties to agree to issues that Mr. Gandhi has raised," he said.

Q: Rolling operation slow performance to create a new column Hello, I have created a code which has a very slow performance in creating a new column in a dataframe. This new column is a rolling moving average with different weights, which I obtain from a for-loop iteration , but I guess there might be a better/faster-in-performance way to do this in Python.

*

*The original database is similar to this (although much larger):
idx = [np.array(['Jan', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Mar', 'Mar','Apr', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jun', 'Jun','Jul', 'Aug', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Sep', 'Oct','Oct', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dic', 'Dic',]),np.array(['A', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'C','A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'C'])]
data = [{'x': 1}, {'x': 5}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 7}, {'x': 3},{'x': 1}, {'x': 6}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 5}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 3},{'x': 1}, {'x': 9}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 7}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 6}, {'x': 8}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 7}, {'x': 9}]
df = pd.DataFrame(data, index=idx, columns=['x'])
df.index.names=['date','type']

And it looks like this:
           x
date type
Jan  A     1
     B     5
Feb  B     3
Mar  A     2
     B     7
     C     3
Apr  A     1
     B     6
May  B     3
Jun  A     5
     B     2
     C     3
Jul  A     1
Aug  B     9
     C     3
Sep  A     2
     B     7
Oct  C     3
     A     6
     B     8
Nov  A     2
Dic  B     7
     C     9

*

*My goal is to improve the following code to create a new column in the dataframe (rolling moving average with different weights). My code is:
df=df.reset_index()
df['rolling']=0
for j in df['type'].unique():
    list_1=list(df['x'][df['type']==j])
    cumsum = [0]
    list_2=list(df['x'][df['type']==j].index)
    z=[]
    for i, h in enumerate(list_1, 1):
        if i>=4:
          cumsum.append(0.2*list_1[i-4]+0.3*list_1[i-3]+0.5*list_1[i-2])
        else:
          cumsum.append('NaN')
        cumsum.pop(0)
        z.append(cumsum[0])
    df['rolling'][list_2]=z

And it looks like this:
   date type  x rolling
0   Jan    A  1     NaN
1   Jan    B  5     NaN
2   Feb    B  3     NaN
3   Mar    A  2     NaN
4   Mar    B  7     NaN
5   Mar    C  3     NaN
6   Apr    A  1     NaN
7   Apr    B  6     5.4
8   May    B  3     5.7
9   Jun    A  5     1.3
10  Jun    B  2     4.7
11  Jun    C  3     NaN
12  Jul    A  1     3.2
13  Aug    B  9     3.1
14  Aug    C  3     NaN
15  Sep    A  2     2.2
16  Sep    B  7     5.7
17  Oct    C  3       3
18  Oct    A  6     2.3
19  Oct    B  8     6.6
20  Nov    A  2     3.8
21  Dic    B  7     7.9
22  Dic    C  9       3

** If you have a code that has a better performance than mine, it would be interesting to know how much faster it is. If you think your code is better, but you don't know how much faster it is, post it anyways because I will realize with a larger dataframe. Thanks!

A: Let's try this to see if this speed up your code any:
idx = [np.array(['Jan', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Mar', 'Mar','Apr', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jun', 'Jun','Jul', 'Aug', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Sep', 'Oct','Oct', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dic', 'Dic',]),np.array(['A', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'C','A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'C'])]
data = [{'x': 1}, {'x': 5}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 7}, {'x': 3},{'x': 1}, {'x': 6}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 5}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 3},{'x': 1}, {'x': 9}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 7}, {'x': 3}, {'x': 6}, {'x': 8}, {'x': 2}, {'x': 7}, {'x': 9}]
df = pd.DataFrame(data, index=idx, columns=['x'])
df.index.names=['date','type']

df['rolling'] = df.groupby('type')['x'].rolling(4).apply(lambda x: x[-4]*.2 + x[-3]*.3 + x[-2]*.5, raw=True)\
                  .reset_index(level=2, drop=True).swaplevel(0,1)

df

Output:
           x  rolling
date type
Jan  A     1      NaN
     B     5      NaN
Feb  B     3      NaN

Dic  B     7      7.9
     C     9      3.0

Timings....
Your code:
324 ms ± 1.55 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
This code:
12.6 ms ± 138 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

A: Here is a numpy version. It gives a healthy (68x on the small example) speedup. Since it uses linear correlation this factor should become even larger if your real window is longer than 3 because correlate will switch to more efficient fft based method.

A burst of bright light briefly illuminated the gloom of the musty storage area. A dark-haired young woman wearing a plain black uniform stepped out of the shimmering light before it faded into nothingness. She stood between the crowded bookshelves and quickly scanned her surroundings. The room had no windows and the only door was firmly closed. She ran her gloved fingers along the nearest shelf, disturbing a layer of dust. As she suspected, the room was rarely used. It would be an ideal hiding place.
She shuddered when she recalled the day that she'd learned of the Ministry's plans. Despite the risk to her friends and family, the woman felt that she had no choice but to safeguard as many copies of the cure as she could. She'd considered hiding them in her own house, but several weeks earlier she'd arrived home and immediately noticed that a handful of items were slightly out of place. Nothing had been taken and there was no damage, but she was experienced enough to know that her home had been expertly searched.
The air shimmered slightly at the far end of the room. The woman reached into her jacket pocket displaying the triple-w symbol and took out her phone. Her time was almost up. She stepped back from the shelves and smiled. The vials would be safe here. The air shimmered again and the woman disappeared in another burst of bright light.
She emerged into the control chamber and the intragate closed behind her. The pulsing blue light in the large circular structure's outer ring was replaced by cold steel. The chamber was shrouded in semi-darkness, the terminals, consoles, and control stations silent. She often worked late but tonight had stayed well after everyone else had left for the evening. She couldn't run the risk of discovery.
She coughed slightly as she quickly went over to the main panel to deactivate the intragate. Even inside the building the air was tainted these days. She glanced at her reflection in the glass on the terminal's screen, quickly sweeping a loose strand of hair into place. Her dark hair was pulled back from her face and twisted into a tight bun when she was working at the Ministry. She quickly keyed in the code to switch off the intragate followed by another code to delete her recent activity. She'd learnt how to cover her tracks after her unauthorized trips through the intragate but thankfully this had been the last one.
She opened the door into the dimly lit hallway, where the lights were operating on low power to save energy. She hurried along the deserted hallways, swiping her ID card and placing her forearm's small tattoo under the scanner's pale blue light in order to pass through the three security checkpoints. She was then startled by a familiar voice as she reached the top of the ornate stone staircase that led down to building's main entrance.
"Working late, Charlotte?"
She turned to see her colleague, Major Sebastian Grayson, emerge from a darkened doorway. He was tall and slim, with closely cropped blond hair. Like Charlotte, his rank was indicated on the collars and upper sleeves of his black uniform, which also bore the triple-w symbol.
"Yes," she replied. "Just a few small issues with the intragate's alignment earlier today."
"Nothing too problematic, I hope?" he said, with a thin smile, his pale blue eyes studying her face.
"No," said Charlotte, retaining her composure. "It just took a while for me to resolve after everyone had gone home, that's all. Everything's fine."
"Good," said Sebastian. "Anyway, I should let you go."
Charlotte gave him a brief smile as he turned to leave then went down the staircase to the entrance. At the main doors, she put on her facemask before she left the building. Her eyes stinging, Charlotte hurried down the steps to the sidewalk then quickly walked through the empty, smog-filled parking lot to her car. Sebastian watched from the upper window until Charlotte's car was out of sight, before turning away.

    <string name="application_name">ActionBarSherlock Demos</string>
    <string name="activity_name">ABS: Demos</string>

    <string name="action_items">Action Items</string>
    <string name="action_items_content">The action bar creates a unified and persistant navigation experience for your application and action items are a great way to provide a clear indication of what the user can do.</string>

    <string name="action_modes">Action Modes</string>
    <string name="action_modes_content">Action modes are used to display contextual information based on some interaction made by the user (long press, checkbox selection, etc). Like the normal action bar they also support splitting the action items to the bottom of the screen on small devices.</string>

    <string name="action_modes_no_action_bar">Action Modes (No Action Bar)</string>

    <string name="share_action_providers">Share Action Providers</string>
    <string name="share_action_providers_content">This activity demonstrates how to use an ActionProvider for adding functionality to the Action Bar. In particular this demo is adding a menu item with ShareActionProvider as its action provider. The ShareActionProvider is responsible for managing the UI for sharing actions.\n\nFor now, ShareActionProviders must be displayed on the action bar</string>

    <string name="action_providers">Action Providers</string>
    <string name="action_providers_content">This activity demonstrates how to implement an ActionProvider for adding functionality to the Action Bar. In particular this demo creates an ActionProvider for launching the system settings and adds a menu item with that provider.</string>

    <string name="collapsible">Collapsible Action Items</string>
    <string name="collapsible_content">This activity is a demonstration of how collapsible action items work. When you are concerned about the available room for items on small screens you should use this feature.</string>

    <string name="context_menus">Context Menus</string>
    <string name="context_menus_content">Since both ActionBarSherlock and Android use \'Menu\' and \'MenuItem\' class names you must take extra care when using context menus. It is still very much possible to use both in a single activity.</string>

    <string name="custom_navigation">Custom Navigation</string>
    <string name="custom_navigation_content">If you find that list and tab navigation are not suitable for your application you may replace it with a custom layout.</string>

    <string name="dialog">Dialog</string>
    <string name="dialog_content">This is a demonstration of how you can give an activity the look of a dialog.\n\nWhile there is a light version of this theme, it cannot be set programmatically without disabling the fancy transparent outer background. In order for this effect the theme must be set in the manifest.</string>

    <string name="feature_toggles">Feature Toggles</string>
    <string name="feature_toggles_content">Use these buttons to create various configurations with the action bar to see how it behaves.</string>

    <string name="forced_overflow">Forced Overflow Item</string>
    <string name="forced_overflow_content">If you choose, you can force the presence of the overflow menu as an action item. Google\'s own research indicates that the regular options menu is lost on most users and doing this will place it always on screen. You can use a theme ending in `ForceOverflow` or add the `absForceOverflow` attribute to a custom theme.\n\nNote: This will only work on the pre-ICS action bar.</string>

    <string name="iprogress">Indeterminate Progress</string>
    <string name="iprogress_content">The action bar includes a standard indeterminate progress bar. The methods for accessing it are prefixed with `support`. See the source for this demo for more information.</string>

    <string name="list_navigation">List Navigation</string>
    <string name="list_navigation_content">List navigation requires the use of a special layout for the spinner item. Failure to use it will result in your spinner text being the same color as the action bar background on pre-3.0. See the source code of this demo for more information.</string>

    <string name="overlay">Overlay</string>
    <string name="overlay_content">Overlay can be useful if you have a lot of scrolling content, especially if that content is images. Remember to lead your content with a margin so that it starts below the action bar when scrolled to the top.</string>

    <string name="preference">Preference</string>
    <string name="preference_content">You can use the `SherlockPreferenceActivity` base class to place the action bar on top of a normal `PreferenceActivity`.\n\nThis does not yet support the use of `PreferenceFragments`, however.</string>

    <string name="progress">Progress</string>
    <string name="progress_content">The action bar includes a standard progress bar. The methods for accessing it are prefixed with `support`. See the source for this demo for more information.</string>

    <string name="simple">Simple</string>
    <string name="simple_content">This is a simple showcase of how easy it is to add the action bar to your activities. Take a look at the source code, it\'s surprisingly simple!</string>

    <string name="split">Split Action Items</string>
    <string name="split_content">This activity is a demonstration of how split action items work. When you are concerned about the available room for items on small screens you should use this feature.</string>

    <string name="split_action_modes">Split Action Modes</string>

    <string name="static_attach">Static Attachment</string>
    <string name="static_attach_content">This is a simple showcase of how easy it is to add the action bar to your activities without having to extend from a custom activity. Take a look at the source code, it\'s surprisingly simple!</string>

    <string name="styled">Styled</string>
    <string name="styled_content">This is a simple showcase of how to style the action bar to your liking. Be sure to remember that you need to consider both the custom and native action bar when styling. Looking at this activity\'s style is a good way to start.</string>

    <string name="submenus">Sub-menus</string>
    <string name="submenus_content">This activity is a demonstration of how sub-menus work when they are either an action item or an item in the overflow menu.</string>

    <string name="tab_navigation">Tab Navigation</string>
    <string name="tab_navigation_content">Tabs can be useful for switching between a limited number of items. You can also collapse the main body of the action bar on small devices so that only the tab bar is displayed. See the source for more information.</string>

    <string name="tab_navigation_collapsed">Tab Navigation (Collapsed)</string>

A unique non-repeating spiral design, replacing the existing marbleized pattern. The new pattern will be the same or a very similar color to the current background and will continue to be erasable.
Color shifting inks added to the face of the card; very recognizable since it is used in currency.
A latent image on the face of the card, visible only when the document is viewed at specific angles.
Latent images that can be seen when the card is viewed at an angle.
Color shifting ink (similar to that used on $20 bills) that changes colors when the card is viewed from different angles.
A new production method that blends different color inks on the background of the card (colors flow from blue to aqua).
Adding issuance date to the front of the card.
Other features added to the card are not apparent to the naked eye and for security reasons are not disclosed to the public.
Another change made to the Social Security card in 2007 was to put the first name and last name of the card holder on separate lines. This change was recommended by employer groups to help them distinguish the correct last name of an employee.
