Brush City Councilwoman Jeanine Anderson told the rest of the council at their meeting Monday that her car was vandalized sometime after the council's meeting on March 12.
The vandalism, which left red paint in several spots on the back of Anderson's vehicle, was reported to Brush police on March 14. The vandalism allegedly occurred while the car was parked outside Anderson's home after the meeting.
Anderson brought up the vandalism during the portion of the meeting in which Brush Police Chief Travis Anderson updates the council on recent significant police activities, arrests and investigations in the city.
After the chief told the council that the police department had responded to 510 calls for service two weeks before, Jeanine asked him if he was aware that one of those calls was for her case. When the chief responded that he was aware of the case, Jeanine asked him if he had any updates.
"I can't discuss any active cases-no," the chief responded.
Brush Mayor Rick Bain then interjected saying to Jeanine "yeah, you can't discuss that at a council meeting."
Jeanine then asked the rest of the council to take a look at her damaged car after the meeting. The chief then told Jeanine that the best thing for her to do would be to talk to the officers who are taking care of the case.
Jeanine responded that she would do so but "wanted to bring [the situation] to everybody on the council's attention."

Time to share my experiences from Semester 1 in Singapore! When I first moved out here in September, I was greeted by the high humidity of this nation. Never had I appreciated air conditioning so much before. Surprisingly enough, Scotland had not prepared me well for the heat.
With the group of chemistry exchange students I am with, we have all been working on research projects this year at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). This is a new style of work for me as I am used to the standard system of lectures, tutorials and a few lab sessions during the working week. The research project has required being in the lab on a daily basis, so I definitely feel my lab knowledge and technique have improved… at least somewhat.
By arriving out here in September, I celebrated my 21st in Singapore! My birthday is in September just to clarify. I didn't just say "You know what? I feel like a change to my birthday date is needed because now I'm in Singapore and it would be rude not to". Anyhow, the night was really good, but not quite how I envisioned my 21st going. The other chemists and I first went trampolining, then to a beer market, where drink prices would change based on their popularity, and finished off the night in a karaoke bar. The less said about my rendition of "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas, the better.
One of the major highlights of first semester was going to Universal Studios on a Halloween-themed night. The theme park had horror zones, haunted houses and actors dressed up as various hellish monsters. Credit to the actors, they stayed in character the entire night. The rollercoasters and the other rides were both terrifying and exhilarating! They like to do this thing on these rides where they take a photo of you when you least expect it. Never had I seen such genuine terror across my face before until I saw these photos. In case you're wondering, I didn't purchase any of these embarrassing photos… because why would I do that to myself?
We also visited the MacRitchie Reservoir Park during the first semester. It is a long walk around the park, but definitely worth it as you get to see some stunning scenery. Plus, we encountered various animals, such as macaques and lizards, which were great to see up close. They probably felt less enthusiastic about us.
There is also a substantial amount of food choice here. Although, I must confess that spicy food is still not my forte. It's not much consolation, but my friends find it hilarious watching me try to get through a spicy dish. I'm working on it though!
Perhaps a regret I have of first semester is not exploring more outside of Singapore. I plan on amending that this semester though! Most recently, I spent Chinese New Year in Kuala Lumpur. My friends and I explored the city and managed to see the Petronas Towers and the Batu Caves, both of which did not disappoint. I am also heading to Sydney at the beginning of March, followed by a visit to the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. So exciting times are ahead!
All in all, this year abroad has definitely been a worthwhile experience and has been character-building for me as an individual. I will update in the near future about my travel experiences in Sydney and what else has been happening in Singapore.

Q: Migrating an app using JSF to a different server I'm trying to transfer our server from local linux box to a cloud hosting service.  The original server uses Apache Tomcat Version 6.0.24 and Java version 1.6.0_17.  The new server uses Apache Tomcat Version 6.0.29 and Java version 1.6.0_22.
All my other webapps work fine, this however is the only one that uses JSF.  It was developed about 3 years ago using some silly drag and drop UI and the code is quite ugly to look through.  Currently I am also in the process of converting the app to one that doesn't use JSF, and just uses Spring and jsp and if I redirect to those pages that I've converted specifically they work fine.  Note that this error doesn't occur on my local machine either.  The error that I'm getting is:
Exception Details: org.apache.jasper.el.JspELException

This is the section of the jsp that it's complaining about:
<h:panelGrid binding="#{UserMainPage.DIMainPanel1}" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" columns="2" id="DIMainPanel1" style="height:38px" width="671">

I've exhausted myself over this one.  Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

A: This problem was caused from a JSF version difference that showed up when switching to the latest version of apache2.  I had to add deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral="false" and isELIgnored="false" to the page directive to force parsing the "${...}" strings.  This can be done either in the web-xml  or on individual .jsp files in the page directive.

The National Library Board (NLB) is established under the National Library Board Act (Chapter 197) and is governed by the statutory functions and constitution set out in the NLB Act. A Board comprising the Chairman and 16 non-executive members from sectors such as academia, the finance and social sectors, and public institutions, guides NLB in the performance of its functions to the public. With their diverse backgrounds and experience, members of the Board are well placed to provide NLB with strategic leadership as well as to put in place effective controls to meet the highest standards of governance. There is also one observer from the Ministry of Communications and Information.
The Board reviews and oversees NLB's plans, performance and policies; ensures accountability in its operations; and develops mechanisms for gathering and responding to stakeholders' feedback. Board members helm seven committees. These are: the Audit and Risk Committee, the Establishment Committee, the Finance Committee, the National Library Advisory Committee, the Public Library Advisory Committee, the Innovation & Technology Advisory Committee and the National Archives Advisory Committee.
An Internal Audit Unit further strengthens NLB's corporate governance. Reporting directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and administratively to the Chief Executive Officer, the Internal Audit Unit reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of NLB's internal control system. This includes evaluating policies, procedures and systems to assess the integrity of financial and operating information, compliance with laws and regulations, and economical and efficient use of resources.
All NLB staff also uphold public trust by complying with a Code of Ethics and Conduct. NLB staff are empowered to report potential ethical breaches confidentially to the Board's Establishment Committee.
As a charity, NLB adheres to the recommended guidelines set out in the Code of Governance for Charities and Institutions of Public Character proposed by the Charity Council (the Code). NLB openly discloses its corporate governance practices covering board governance, conflict of interest policy and other relevant governance practices and controls on an annual basis. Any deviations from the Code are also explained as part of this annual submission. NLB continually seeks to improve governance to maintain the trust and confidence of our stakeholders.
The members of the Board are paid allowances based on a tiered structure, which takes into consideration the different workload and responsibilities held by the various members. Eight of our Board members receive an annual allowance of between $10,000 and $25,000, while nine members receive an annual allowance of less than $10,000. The annual remuneration of our four highest paid executives is between $300,000 and $500,000. This comprises their salary, bonus, benefits and employers' CPF contribution.
NLB manages its reserves proactively to ensure funding sustainability for operating expenditure as well as long term commitments. The quantum of minimum and maximum cash reserve, taking into account working capital needs and long-term commitments, is reviewed and approved annually by the Finance Committee of the Board.

What Is Web 3.0 Marketing?
Web 3.0 marketing is the convergence of new technologies and rapidly changing consumer buying trends. Michael Tasner explores the move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 marketing, including the five key components of Web 3.0 marketing.
Web 2.0 began when Web users started to drastically change the way they were using the Web on a day-to-day basis. The main trends that shaped Web 2.0 include content sharing, creativity, segmentation, social components, and added functionality. Some of the added functionality is peer-to-peer sharing of files, easier communication and networking on various social marketing sites, video sharing, and blogging. Web directories evolved to social tagging, personal Web sites shifted to blogs, and online versions of encyclopedias morphed into Wikipedia. In the Web 2.0 world, collaborating on social networks and sharing information helped shape the trend relatively quickly.
Social networks are the sites where people come together and share ideas, thoughts, and comments. Examples: Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace.
Social media are the places where you can share content with the world in hopes of spreading awareness. Examples: YouTube, Scribd, and Flickr.
User-generated content was what sparked much of the discussion on Web 2.0. This is where users create, manage, and update information. Examples: Squidoo, blogs, and Wikipedia.
Social news and bookmarking have allowed users to organize their Web experience. Examples: Digg, Delicious, and StumbleUpon.


Today commemorates the tragedy of The École Polytechnique Massacre. On December 6, 1989, 14 young women (12 of whom were engineering students at École Polytechnique in Montreal) were killed by an outraged gunman, who specifically targeted women in this gender-based violent attack. Many of the female students were in their last year of engineering programs – very close to their big achievements.
In 1989 pursuing an engineering career for a woman was an uncommon and even brave choice – in Canada only 13% of engineering students were women and less than 2% of professors in engineering faculties were female. As a result of this terrible scar on the educational history in Canada, December 6th became a National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (a.k.a. white ribbon day).
To ensure that the memory of this day doesn't vanish and these issues stay top of mind, many people speak up. Some choose to show that they care by taking action. Gina Cody, an immigrant from Iran who moved to Canada in 1979 in hopes of getting a Ph.D. in engineering, and who ultimately built a long and extremely successful engineering career in Canada, recently donated $15 million to the Concordia University's engineering program that made her dream come true. This is the largest endowment in the history of the university. In gratitude, Concordia University has renamed its engineering department after her – "the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science – the first in Canada to be named after a woman", the university says.
Gina was interviewed by CBC's The Current this morning where she shared her story, her mission in life, and her worries for the future of women in engineering. Despite the stigma against women in engineering, Gina broke the barriers and succeeded in one of the most male-dominated industries. After completing an engineering Ph.D. program at Concordia, she became the only female crane inspector in Toronto, and later on the executive chair and principal shareholder of CCI Group, a large engineering firm in the city.
Gina's success story and her generous donation inspire many young women to pursue their dreams just like she did. Still, "only 20% of university engineering students in the country are women, according to Engineers Canada." Moreover, the percentage of female engineering students who graduate is higher than the percentage of women working in the field, which means that there are reasons why women choose not to pursue this career after graduation. It is in our power to motivate young women to be strong, follow their dreams, and to not be afraid. It is also in our hands to prevent gender-based hate crimes (among others) by spreading the word, bringing attention to these issues, and educating ourselves and people around us. Let's stay strong together.
Our Engineering Career Guide is a great starting point for those who are interested in the field. It provides not only job opportunities, but also best practises for applying, industry insights, and much more.

Who is Andrew Bailey? New Bank of England Governor and FCA boss
Alahna Kindred
A NEW Bank of England Governor has been announced after Mark Carney stepped into the job in July 2013.
But who is Andrew Bailey and what was he doing before he landed his new job? Here's what we know.
Andrew Bailey has been named as the new Governor of the Bank of EnglandCredit: Reuters
Who is Andrew Bailey?
Andrew Bailey was born on March 30, 1959, in Leicester, England.
He attended Wyggeston Boys' Grammar School in Leicester before attending Queen's College, Cambridge, and graduating with a BA in History and a PhD in economic history.
He joined the Bank of England in 1985, working his way up the ranks in different roles such as chief cashier.
During the financial crisis, he was responsible for the Bank's special operations to solve the problems in the banking sector.
From 2013, Mr Bailey served as the Bank's first deputy governor for prudential regulation.
In 2016, he was appointed to the head of the City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority.
During his time at the FCA, the watchdog faced criticism over its handling of complaints into the Royal Bank of Scotland treatment of small businesses after the financial crisis.
Recently, the FCA faced criticism over its demise of the flagship fund of Neil Woodford, one of the UK's best known money managers.

How long will he serve as Governor for the Bank of England?
Mr Bailey will become the 121st Governor of the Bank of England on March 16.
He will serve a full eight-year term.
Mr Bailey was seen as a favourite to take over as the hunt to fill the position started.
Chancellor Sajid Javid said on December 20 that Mr Bailey was "the stand-out candidate in a competitive field."
He added: "He is the right person to lead the Bank as we forge a new future outside the EU and level-up opportunity across the country."
The governor is responsible for overseeing the Bank's three main responsibilities of inflation, the financial system and individual banks.

How much will he get paid a year?
Mr Bailey will earn £495,000 a year, according to the BBC.
Accepting his role, Mr Bailey said it was a "tremendous honour" to be chosen.

He added: "The Bank has a very important job and, as governor, I will continue the work that Mark Carney has done to ensure that is has the public interest at the heart of everything it does."
Mr Bailey's predecessor, Mark Carney, described Mr Bailey as "an extraordinary public servant".
He said: "Andrew brings unparalleled experience, built over three decades of dedicated service across all policy areas of the Bank."

\section{Introduction}

Information and probability theories provide guidance in many fields such as information retrieval (IR), e.g. for the development of probabilistic retrieval and language modeling \cite{Robertson2009}. Shannon's information-theoretic entropy lays the foundation to quantify the amount of information in probability distributions and has a wide range of applications in computing and data sciences \cite{Shannon1948,Shaw:entropy}.

Based on Shannon entropy, information measures such as Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence (relative entropy) and mutual information enable the computation of certain ``distance'' between probability distributions and give rise to classic term weighting schemes such as the Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) \cite{Kullback:1959,Amati:2002,Aizawa:2003}. IDF quantifies the amount of information due to a term (word) in a specific document by measuring its KL divergence from the collection-wide probability distribution.

However, KL divergence is not a metric and cannot be used as a symmetric distance measure. In addition, KL is unbounded and has undesirable consequences in practical applications, where extremely large value can dominate the scoring function\cite{Ke2013JCDL,Ke2015IJDL2}. Research has proposed the Discounted Least Information Theory (DLITE) as an alternative to mitigate some of these issues\cite{Ke2020}. It is observed that DLITE is bounded and possesses metric properties, including triangular inequality. In this report, we offer a proof of the triangular inequality of DLITE's cube root ($\sqrt[3]{DL}$) along with alternative proofs for two additional properties.

\section{{DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}} Theory}

The Discounted Least Information Theory of Entropy (DLITE) is an extension of a prior work on the Least Information Theory (LIT) that satisfies several additional properties as an information metric. We shall introduce the LIT measure first.

\subsection{{LIT} Measure}

The Least Information Theory ({LIT}) quantifies the amount of entropic difference between two probability distributions \cite{Ke2013JCDL}. Given distributions $P$ and $Q$ of variable $X$, {LIT} is computed by:

\begin{eqnarray}
  {LIT}(P, Q)
  & = & \sum_{x \in X} \int_{p_x}^{q_x} - \log p\ dp \\
  & = & \sum_{x \in X} \Big\lvert p_x (1-\ln p_x) - q_x (1-\ln q_x) \Big\rvert
\end{eqnarray}

where $x$ is one of the mutually exclusive inferences of $X$, and $p_x$ and $q_x$ are probabilities of $x$ on the $P$ and $Q$ distributions respectively.

For any probabilities $p$ and $q$, let:

\begin{eqnarray}
g(p, q) & = & \Big\lvert p (1-\ln p) - q (1-\ln q) \Big\rvert
\end{eqnarray}

{LIT} can be written as:

\begin{eqnarray}
  {LIT}(P, Q)
  & = & \sum_{x \in X} g(p_x, q_x)
\end{eqnarray}

Research has applied LIT to data clustering, classification, and information retrieval, and shown its competitive performances compared to classic baselines\cite{Ke2015IJDL2,Ke2017,Du2018}.

\subsection{Entropy Discount}

For DLITE, the following entropy discount is introduced:

\begin{eqnarray}
  \Delta_H(P, Q)
  & = & \sum_{x \in X} \Big\lvert p_x - q_x \Big\rvert \frac{\int_{p_x}^{q_x} - p \log{p}\ dp}{\int_{p_x}^{q_x} x\ d x} \\

  & = & \sum_{x \in X} \frac{\Big\lvert p_x^2 (1 - 2\ln{p_x}) - q_x^2 (1-2\ln{q_x}) \Big\rvert}{2(p_x + q_x)}
\end{eqnarray}

For any probabilities $p$ and $q$, let:

\begin{eqnarray}
\delta_h(p, q) & = & \frac{\Big\lvert p^2 (1 - 2\ln{p}) - q^2 (1-2\ln{q}) \Big\rvert}{2(p + q)}
\end{eqnarray}

The entropy discount $\Delta_H$ can be written as:

\begin{eqnarray}
  \Delta_H(P, Q) & = & \sum_{x \in X} \delta_h(p_x, q_x)
\end{eqnarray}

\subsection{{DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}}: {LIT} with Entropy Discount}

We now define the Discounted Least Information Theory of Entropy, or {DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}}, as the amount of {LIT} subtracted by its entropy discount $\Delta_H$:

\begin{eqnarray}
{DL} %{{{\dl}}}(P, Q)
& = & {LIT}(P, Q) - \Delta_H(P, Q) \\
& = & \sum_{x \in X} g(p_x, q_x) - \delta_h(p_x, q_x)
\label{eq:dl}
\end{eqnarray}

For any probability change from $p$ to $q$, let:

\begin{eqnarray}
 dl(p, q) & = & g(p, q) - \delta_h(p, q)
\label{eq:dl_x}
\end{eqnarray}

Equation~\ref{eq:dl} can written as:

\begin{eqnarray}
{DL} %{{{\dl}}}(P, Q) & = & \sum_{x \in X}  dl(p_x, q_x)
\label{eq:dl_sum}
\end{eqnarray}

\subsection{{DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}} Properties}

Again, {DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}} is the amount of {LIT} with the $\Delta_H$ discount:

\begin{eqnarray}
  {DL} %{{{\dl}}}(P, Q)
  & = & {LIT}(P, Q) - \Delta_H(P, Q) \\
  & = &  \sum_{x \in X} \int_{p_x}^{q_x} \log{\frac{1}{p}}\ dp \\
  &   & - \sum_{x \in X} \Big\lvert p_x - q_x \Big\rvert  \frac{\int_{p_x}^{q_x} p \log{\frac{1}{p}}\ dp}{\int_{p_x}^{q_x} p\ d p}
\label{eq:dl2}
\end{eqnarray}

Whereas {LIT} represents the sum of weighted, microscopic entropy changes, it consists of an amount of entropy change due to the scale of related probabilities, leading to an undesirable consequence of having different {LIT} amounts in different sub-system breakdowns. The entropy discount, $\Delta_H$, accounts for this extra amount in the {LIT} and reduces it to a scale-free measure. As shown in Equation~\ref{eq:dl2}, the discount on each $x$ dimension is a product of the absolute probability change in $p$ and a mean of $\log{\frac{1}{p}}$.

We discussed justifications of DLITE with a list of metric and information-theoretical properties in \cite{Ke2020}. We highlight DLITE's major theoretical properties below.

\subsubsection*{Metric Properties}

Given the definition in Equation~\ref{eq:dl} or \ref{eq:dl2}, it can be shown that {DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}} satisfies the following metric properties:

\begin{enumerate}
  \item Non-negativity: ${DL} %{{{\dl}}}(P,Q) \ge 0$ for any probability distributions $P$ and $Q$ of the same dimensionality. See Appendix for proof of Theorem 1.
  \item Identity of Indiscernibles: ${DL} %{{{\dl}}}(P,Q) = 0$ if and only if $P$ and $Q$ are identical distributions.
  \item Symmetry: ${DL} %{{{\dl}}}(P,Q) == {DL} %{{{\dl}}}(Q, P)$, the amount of the information from $P$ to $Q$ is the same as that from $Q$ to $P$.
  \item Triangular Inequality: The cube root of DLITE satisfies the triangular inequality, that is $\sqrt[3]{ dl(p,q)} + \sqrt[3]{ dl(q,r)} \ge \sqrt[3]{ dl(p,r)}$.
\end{enumerate}

The focus of this report is to provide the proof for the 4th property above (Theorem 2 in the next section), along with alternative proofs for the 1st metric property (Theorem 1) and the following information-theoretic property (a lemma):

\begin{itemize}
    \item {DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}} of an ensemble is the weighted sum of {DLITE} %{{{DL} %{{{\dl}}}ITE}}s in its sub-systems, $dl(xp, xq)=x\cdot dl(p,q)$.

\end{itemize}

\section{Theorems and Proofs}

\subsection{$1^{st}$ Metric Property: Non-negativity}

\setlength\parindent{24pt}
\textbf{Theorem 1.} \emph{For any probability distributions P and Q:}

\centering ${DL(P,Q)} \ge 0$

\raggedright
\emph{Proof.}
First we assume for all $p \in P$ and $q \in Q$ we have x is the larger of $p$ and $q$ and c is the smaller without loss of generality. Thus $x \geq c$. From here we know: \\

 \bigskip
\begin{center}
$dl(x, c) = lit(x,c) - \delta(x,c)$ \\

\bigskip

$= x(1-ln(x)) - c(1-ln(c)) - \frac{x^2(1-2ln(x))-c^2(1-2ln (c))}{2(x+c)}$

\end{center}

Note here that when $x=c$ is the only point where our function is equal to 0. With this understanding we can take the derivative of $dl(x,c)$ with regard to $x$. \\

\begin{center}

$dl'(x,c) = - \frac{2c^2 ln(x) - x^2 - 2c^2 ln(c) + c^2}{2(x+c)^2}$

\end{center}
We can rewrite this derivative to be in the form:

\begin{center}

$dl'(x,c) = \frac{2c^2 ln(x) - x^2 - 2c^2 ln(c) + c^2}{2(x+c)^2}$

\end{center}
Note that similarly when $x=c$ the second derivative  is equal to 0. With this understanding we take the second derivative.\\
 \begin{center}
$dl''(x,c) = \frac{c(x^2 + 2cxln(x) - 2cxln(c) -c^2)}{x(x+c)^3}$
\end{center}

Firstly, with $d''(x,c)$ we also know that when $x=c$, $d''(x,c) = 0$. \\

Secondly, when $x>c$ we know that $x$ and $c$ are both positive meaning that the denominator of $d''(x,c)$ is positive. We can rearrange the numerator to be in the form:

\begin{center}
    $c(x^2 - c^2 + 2cxln(\frac{x}{c})$

\end{center}

Since $x > c$ we know both $x^2 - c^2$ and $2cxln(\frac{x}{c})$ are postive and since by definition c is also positive, this means the numerator is also positive.\\

Thus the $d''(x,c)$ is always non-negative when $x \geq c$, and $d'(x,c)$ and $d(x,c)$ are 0 when $x=c$, we know both functions will be non-negative. \\

Thus, $dl(x,c)>0$.

Therefore, $DL(P,Q) \geq 0$

\subsection{4th Metric Property: Triangular Inequality}

\textbf{Theorem 2.} \emph{For any probability distributions P, Q, and R:}

\centering $\sqrt[3]{DL(P,Q)} + \sqrt[3]{DL(Q,R)} \geq \sqrt[3]{DL(P,R)}$

\raggedright
\emph{Proof.}

Suppose we have:
\begin{center}
$\sqrt[3]DL(P,R) = \sqrt[3]{\sum_{p_i,q_i}^{} x(1-ln(x)) - c(1-ln(c)) - \frac{x^2(1-2ln(x))-c^2(1-2ln (c))}{2(x+c)}} $
\end{center}
such that if $p_i>q_i$, we set $p_i = x_i$ and $q_i = c_i$ and if $q_i>p_i$, we set $q_i = x_i$ and $p_i = c_i$.
\\
Since all $dl(p_i,q_i)$ will be of this form, we simplify this to.
\begin{center}
$\sqrt[3]DL(P,R) = \sqrt[3]{m \cdot (x(1-ln(x)) - c(1-ln(c)) - \frac{x^2(1-2ln(x))-c^2(1-2ln (c))}{2(x+c)})} $

\end{center}
for some $m \in \mathbb{R}$.\\

The second derivative of this is:
\begin{center}
$-\frac{m^2\cdot\left(\left(12c^3x^2+4c^4x\right)\ln^2\left(x\right)+\left(-4c^2x^3-24c^3\ln\left(c\right)\,x^2+\left(4c^4-8c^4\ln\left(c\right)\right)x\right)\ln\left(x\right)+x^5-3cx^4\right)}{18x\cdot\left(x+c\right)^4\left(mx\cdot\left(1-\ln\left(x\right)\right)-\frac{m\cdot\left(x^2\cdot\left(1-2\ln\left(x\right)\right)-c^2\cdot\left(1-2\ln\left(c\right)\right)\right)}{2\left(x+c\right)}-c\cdot\left(1-\ln\left(c\right)\right)m\right)^\frac{5}{3}} + \frac{m^2\cdot\left(\left(4c^2\ln\left(c\right)-2c^2\right)x^3+\left(12c^3\ln^2\left(c\right)+6c^3\right)x^2+\left(4c^4\ln^2\left(c\right)-4c^4\ln\left(c\right)+c^4\right)x-3c^5\right)}{18x\cdot\left(x+c\right)^4\left(mx\cdot\left(1-\ln\left(x\right)\right)-\frac{m\cdot\left(x^2\cdot\left(1-2\ln\left(x\right)\right)-c^2\cdot\left(1-2\ln\left(c\right)\right)\right)}{2\left(x+c\right)}-c\cdot\left(1-\ln\left(c\right)\right)m\right)^\frac{5}{3}}$
\end{center}

The second derivative is always negative meaning it is concave. We also know from Theorem 1 that our function is always positive. Thus DLITE is subadditve, meaning it by definition satisfies the triangle inequality.

\subsection{Information-theoretic Property: Lemma for Ensemble as Weighted Sum}

\textbf{Lemma} \emph{Given the dl(p,q) function of probability change from p to q in Equation 11, for any positive value x:}

\centering $dl(xp,xq) = x \cdot dl(p,q)$

\raggedright
\emph{Proof.}

Let $p>q$, then $xp>xq$. \\

\begin{center}

$dl(xp,xq) = xp(1-ln(xp)) - xq(1-ln(xq)) - \frac{(xp)^2(1-2ln(xp)) - (xq)^2(1-2ln(xq)}{2(xq+xp)} $ \\

\bigskip
$= x(p(1-lnp) - q(1-lnq)) - xlnx(p-q) - x\frac{p^2(1-2lnp)-q^2(1-2lnq)}{2(p+q)} + \frac{2x^2p^2lnx - 2x^2q^2lnx}{2x(p+q)} $\\
\bigskip
$= x(p(1-lnp) - q(1-lnq))- x\frac{p^2(1-2lnp)-q^2(1-2lnq)}{2(p+q)}- xlnx(p-q)  + xlnx(p-q) $\\
\bigskip
$= x(p(1-lnp) - q(1-lnq))- x\frac{p^2(1-2lnp)-q^2(1-2lnq)}{2(p+q)} $\\
\bigskip
$= x \cdot ((p(1-lnp) - q(1-lnq))- \frac{p^2(1-2lnp)-q^2(1-2lnq)}{2(p+q)}) $\\
\bigskip
$= x \cdot dl(p,q)$
\end{center}

If $q>p$ the same result can be obtained.

\section{Conclusion}

DLITE functions as a metric space as it satisfies the four necessary proprieties, namely non-negativity, identity of indiscernibles, symmetry, and the triangle inequality. Satisfying these rules allows the ability to assume relationships between the amount of information in distributions based on their ``distance.'' There are more relationships in the theory of DLITE to be explored both mathematically and in practice.

Historian Chris Bertolet (bertoletdown)
1971's Rainbow Bridge was the first of two Hendrix albums compiled by MCA Records after Jimi's untimely death. In 1997, after winning a legal battle with MCA over rights to the iconic guitarist's works, his family released their own posthumous favorites under the title First Rays of the New Rising Sun. It's a tribute to "Izabella" that the song made the cut for both. The song's narrator is a soldier longing to return home to his love, the tune's namesake, so he can hold her instead of his rifle.
Though her name is spelled with an "s" instead of a "z," conventional Phish lore suggests that Trey chose the cover as a fatherly nod to his infant daughter. He and Mike road-tested the song on 5/21/97 at Club Toast with New York! (a one-off collaboration with several Burlington musicians), but Phish debuted "Izabella" before an intimate crowd at Bradstock. Soon thereafter – on 6/13/97 – it saw its first public performance in Ireland, one of the few Western European countries where Hendrix never performed. To the obvious delight of the Dublin crowd, "Izabella" arose from the jammed-out "Stand" encore.
While Phish's instrumental reading of this propulsive tune is pretty faithful to the original, Trey's vocals typically consist of the same verse sung twice or thrice with a varying degree of accuracy. Check out the volcanic version that erupts from "Tweezer" in the 12/6/97 jam-a-thon at Auburn Hills, MI.

About Made In Detroit
It was hatched in 1991 as a spark for a city that'd long been left for dead. It was born of a nod to the backbone that made this place unlike any other.

File My Divorce in the City/County Where I Got Married: The law firm gets calls every week from people living all over the country who think they need to come to the Columbus/Phenix City area to get a divorce even though they haven't lived here in years. While every state has laws addressing where you can file a divorce, they all typically boil down to one question: Where are you and your spouse currently living? It has NOTHING to do with where you were married unless that also happens to be where you currently live.
Annulments: This is another popular idea at consultations that is legally inaccurate. An annulment is a legal device for nullifying a marriage that was illegal, to begin with. If your spouse was married to someone else or was too young to consent to marry when he/she married you, then those are examples of situations where an annulment is appropriate. If you have been legally married for as little as a day, you need a divorce to dissolve the marriage.
Filing For Divorce Will Make You Look Bad: Judges simply do not make those kinds of value judgments. If you need to file for a divorce, then you should file when YOU are ready. Over half of marriages end in divorce, there is no reason to feel bad about choosing what is best for your family.
Counseling Before We Can File For Divorce: Although this may be a very good idea, neither Georgia nor Alabama require clients to attend counseling before they can file for divorce. Other jurisdictions may have different rules, but in Georgia and Alabama, you do not need someone else's permission or approval to file for divorce.
Spouse is Missing: If you have truly lost contact with your spouse, and you genuinely have no idea where your spouse is, then you may be able to get a divorce by publication. However, if you can contact a family member, friend, employer, etc. and get an address for your spouse, then publication is not appropriate.
In this age of social media, texting, Skype, etc., there are many ways to make contact with a separated spouse. You will likely have a hard time convincing a judge that you and your spouse can chit-chat on Facebook, but you don't know how to serve him or her with a divorce. If nothing else, ask them how you can get legal papers to them. If they refuse to provide their contact info, print off or screenshot the exchange, and that might help convince a judge to allow service by publication. Also, bear in mind that you can't be awarded monetary relief from a divorce by publication. This means no child support or alimony can be awarded based on service by publication. So, the value of this type of divorce is very limited. In the weeks and months ahead, this blog will continue to explore subjects concerning divorce, child custody, child support and other family law issues facing our clients and our prospective clients.

President Obama always quietly pointed out that Russia for the attention it gets is a weak economic country….
China on the other hand is closing in the American dominant world economy….
Donald Trump's attempts to halt the Chinese in a trade war has been a failure right now as Chinese imports continue to climb to the US….
China has an opening in Europe….
The U.S. has responded furiously in recent days, suggesting that Italy is a traitor to the West. Europe's largest countries, too, have expressed alarm.
What worries China critics: Thus far in China's four-decade economic surge, Beijing has largely called the shots. Its businesses have enjoyed a relative open door to western economies while it has constrained access to its own markets, and displayed little respect for Western intellectual property.
While President Trump, with his trade war, is attempting to break down some of the barriers, the Italian breach in Europe could weaken the solid western front…..

They killed his puppy, now he's out for revenge. Keanu Reeves is John Wick in the debut film from directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch.
Action movie fans have had to come to a harsh realization this past decade, the genre has taken a steep dive from its heyday of the 80s and early 90s. We are far from the fun days of Arnold, Sly, Bruce and to a lesser extent, Van-Damme and Segal, making movies where the bad guys are killed with a quip and things blow up pretty. Other than an occasional Neeson or Statham film we have had to live on Fast and Furious films and the occasional foreign film (The Raid) to get our fix.
I am here to say that there is a movie out there now that is like water in a desert that will quench your thirst for a good action film and that is John Wick. Let us count the ways in why the movie works so well:
One of the most important supporting roles of the year and where's the Academy? Probably watching cat videos.
Keanu Reeves sells it. The movie's premise is on the other side of corny. Reeves plays THE BEST hit man who gave it all up for love. After his wife dies, he is left with only his beloved Mustang and a puppy that his wife gifts him. Some Russian baddies come into his life to steal his car and kill his puppy and Reeves will not stand for this. REEVES WILL HAVE JUSTICE. 99% of the time, this sounds more like a SNL skit than a real movie but Keanu never gives into the temptation to play this with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. Instead he shows the pain of a guy that has lost his way in life, who has nothing left to live for and who gets pissed when he is done wrong. These are human emotions, they just happen to be housed in a character that can kill a number of people with just a pencil. Thanks to Reeves giving this movie his all, you actually care about John Wick and his plight and you want to see that puppy get avenged.
The movie is lean and mean. John Wick clocks in at a little more than 90 minutes. The movie introduces the characters, puts the plot in motion, lets all hell break loose and then ties it up in a bow. The run time is perfect for this movie because it doesn't overstay its welcome. You are introduced to the characters and understand what they are in relation to the movie and lets the action go. The movie throttles forward and doesn't really slow down but thanks to a strong screen play, you always know the who, what, why, when and how.
You can actually tell what is going on in the action scenes. I have written many times about how I passionately hate the new style of shooting and editing action footage to the point of it giving the viewer a headache. I don't care for the jittery, jumping camera, the 3 edits every second of the Steadicam shots and it has ruined many action films for me since Greengrass made it popular with the Bourne franchise. I can say that first time directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch do not fall into this trap and keep the action scenes fluid and exciting. Coming from a stunt background I am sure they want to showcase the action going on instead of trying to stylize the film to death. I am thankful for this because in this movie we are treated to really interesting scenes of mayhem involving guns, knives, fists, cars and more all that are easily taken in by the audience. In Taken 3 (review coming this Saturday) during the car chase, I had no idea what was going on other than Neeson was in a car and stuff was making a loud noise. Compare this to John Wick when he was facing countless guys in a dark nightclub and I knew exactly what was going on and where the characters were.
The supporting cast was good. For a B-level action film, the supporting cast in the film was filled with a lot of fun performers. Willem Dafoe, Adrianne Palicki, Dean Winters, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick all pop up through the film and have fun doing their scenes. None of these actors could headline films but I always love seeing good character actors having a chance to break loose and chew a bit of the scenery.
It was a breath of fresh air. John Wick gave me something new in the genre at a time when I thought the action movie and ESPECIALLY the hitman on one last mission story has shown me everything there was to show. Instead the movie introduces a whole world in this movie that I would love to see more about. In downtown New York all the hitmen stay at a hotel where there are many rules and guidelines that I found fascinating and I would watch a 90 minute film JUST on this. There were many times something is shown for a minute or two that I wanted to know more about but the film wisely kept it a mystery and moved onto the next scene. 9 out of 10 times prequels and spinoffs are bad ideas but for John Wick I would love to dive into this world as deep as I could.
Wick's puppy might still be alive if he just went shirtless to the gas station.
Is John Wick going to win any awards? No, but it doesn't want to. What this movie is all about is to entertain and it does this abundantly. When I was watching the film I don't think there was a moment where I wasn't smiling. I didn't look at my phone once nor did I leave where I was sitting at all. The movie got its hooks in me and didn't let go. Keanu Reeves is given a lot of grief but when he hits that sweet spot and finds a movie that works he makes magic. John Wick should go in anyone's collection right next to Speed and The Matrix it earns it.
Directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch.

HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases...Briefing with Senior State Department Official to Traveling Press
Briefing with Senior State Department Official to Traveling Press
Office of the Spokesperson
ERT Copenhagen, Denmark
MODERATOR: So this, we'll just do on background, senior State Department official, (inaudible) preview the first stop in Copenhagen and take some questions.
(Chit-chat.)
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: So obviously the first half of the trip is Copenhagen, Denmark. And I think we're all aware that the Kingdom of Denmark, which, of course, includes also Greenland and the Faroe Islands, is a very important ally. We've actually had diplomatic relations with Denmark for 220 years, so that just underscores sort of the shared democratic values, commitment to peace, NATO Ally, from which we get a lot. And in fact, Denmark, of course, is the only country that is a member of NATO, the EU, and the Arctic Council. So a lot to talk about with them. They were participants at the recent democracy summit, and that sort of highlighted some of the important role the Danes are playing in the rules-based order internationally.
Secretary will start the day meeting with the prime minister, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. She'll have a – bilat with her, and then move on to meet separately with the with the foreign minister. He'll have an audience with the queen, Queen Margrethe, and the crown prince, just a short meeting there. And (inaudible) that we've been doing these first 120 or so days, revitalizing, repairing relations with allies, particularly in the transatlantic sphere. Of course, he's had a chance to see the foreign minister at the NATO Ministerial previously. They've talked on the margins of that.
Uniquely, again, although we've done it before, we'll have a quadrilateral foreign ministers meeting. So the second day, we'll join Foreign Minister Kofod, the Danish foreign minister, but also the foreign ministers of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, for a chance to talk about the broad array of issues with all of them. We have, obviously, security issues, economic issues, the whole range. And as you know, we've been pursuing over the last couple of years relations both with Greenland and with the Faroe Islands in terms of economic opportunities. We opened our consulate, of course, in Nuuk, and we'll talk later in the trip as we prepare for the Greenland stop as well.
QUESTION: How much of the cleanup about the relationship has to do with reassuring them that the U.S. isn't interested in buying Greenland?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: I think we'll underscore just all of the things that we're doing with Greenland as a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and we're doing that with the foreign minister of Denmark itself. Of course, the Faroe Islands come along as well. We did a lot of work in the past year working on this broad agreement for things we can do with the Faroe Islands.
There will be a – I mentioned already the bilateral meeting with the foreign minister, and the Secretary should have a chance to get some information on some of the scientific and technological things going on in Denmark, particularly related to climate, which is of great interest to all of us. The – their climate thing, stuff they're doing that's really in the high-tech sphere in terms of quantum devices and things like that. Denmark is a leading partner in that, and so we'll have good opportunities there.
I think that kind of wraps up the day, right?
QUESTION: Can we ask you about —
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: He'll, of course, see the embassy team, do a standard kind of meet and greet with the embassy team, which is nice. So I think this one is actually in person.
MODERATOR: Oh, is it?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: I think so, yeah. We'll have to check that, but I think it's appropriately distanced and all that, but a chance to see in person, and whether they'll – some people may join virtually as well.
QUESTION: Can we ask you about the Lavrov meeting?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: Well, that's in Iceland, which is the next stop. So we could talk about that on the next leg of the trip, but –
QUESTION: Since you're here —
QUESTION: What would, for you, success or positive meeting look like?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: I think it's about testing the proposition of working on areas where we have mutual interests, which is what the President has laid out and what the Secretary has said before. As you know, we've made very clear from the first day of the administration that we seek a more stable relationship, a more predictable relationship with Russia. We were able to do the extension of the important New START Treaty for five years right off the bat, but we also look at areas where Russia has behaved aggressively and undertaken malign efforts for which, as the President said, there will be a cost. We're not going to stand idly by. We don't seek to escalate, we are simply, again, looking for a more predictable, stable relationship. And I think there are areas where we can discuss these things with Foreign Minister Lavrov.
QUESTION: So how much will Nord Stream 2 be a part of the Denmark stop? And then how much would it be a part of the Lavrov conversation as well, and would it be connected?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: As you know, a piece of Nord Stream 2 goes through part of Denmark's —
QUESTION: Still – they're still constructing it there.
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: — external zone. I suppose it may come up. I mean, I think our position is very clear. We've made that clear, not just the Danes but everybody else, where we stand on that. So it could come up in the bilat, I suppose. And I think the same holds for Lavrov. We've been very clear, as has the Congress, in our views of Nord Stream 2, and that it is a Russian strategic project that undermines European security, European energy security. So we'll see if those things come up.
QUESTION: I would just say – sorry – speaking of pipelines, do you get to something like, even though it probably wasn't a Russian state actor – we don't know that – do you get to something in like, the colonial pipeline hack and the ability of these people to operate from inside Russia in a meeting like this? Or is that too granular?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: I would expect that that would be – I mean, I think we've made the points that we made based on what the President has said and what the Secretary said earlier.
QUESTION: What do you make of the decision by the hacking group to sort of go underground and cease operations?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: I'm not the cyber expert or the guy on hacking groups. I'm really not familiar with (inaudible).
QUESTION: On the Arctic Council meeting, is there a single environmental or climate issue that you guys are most interested in tackling, that's the most important in terms of on the agenda?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: I don't need to (inaudible) others are really for the Arctic Council and the climate people. I mean, I think it's a very broad issue. The Arctic is clearly critical in that. The Arctic Council's played a role, and all eight Arctic nations have real issues. I mean, when we go to Greenland, and we see, for instance, (inaudible) of the ice cap the glacier they have, those are kind of real litmus tests of challenges we face as those ice caps melt, sea levels rise, et cetera. But again, I'll leave you for the guys who are really the experts on that.
QUESTION: Two very brief things. Iceland and Norway are not in the EU?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: That is correct. Neither Iceland or Norway is in the EU.
QUESTION: Where's Jim DeHart?
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: Jim DeHart is meeting us in Iceland.
QUESTION: He wasn't in the testing area yesterday.
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he's not doing the Copenhagen stop, so he was taking the commercial flight.
MODERATOR: Thank you, [Senior State Department Official]. Appreciate it.
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: Sure. Thanks

Q: How to get differences between two JSONs? I want to compare 2 JSON and get all the differences between them in Scala. For example, I would like to compare:
{"a":"aa", "b": "bb", "c":"cc" }

and
{"c":"cc", "a":"aa", "d":"dd"}

I'd like to get b and d.

A: If it isn't a restriction you can use http://json4s.org/ it has a nice diff feature.
Follow an example based on question:
import org.json4s._
import org.json4s.native.JsonMethods._

val json1 = parse("""{"a":"aa", "b":"bb", "c":"cc"}""")
val json2 = parse("""{"c":"cc", "a":"aa", "d":"dd"}""")

val Diff(changed, added, deleted) = json1 diff json2

It will return:
changed: org.json4s.JsonAST.JValue = JNothing
added: org.json4s.JsonAST.JValue = JObject(List((d,JString(dd))))
deleted: org.json4s.JsonAST.JValue = JObject(List((b,JString(bb))))

Best regards

A: Finally, I used JSONassert that does the same thing.
For example,
String expected = "{id:1,name:\"Joe\",friends:[{id:2,name:\"Pat\",pets:[\"dog\"]},{id:3,name:\"Sue\",pets:[\"bird\",\"fish\"]}],pets:[]}";
String actual = "{id:1,name:\"Joe\",friends:[{id:2,name:\"Pat\",pets:[\"dog\"]},{id:3,name:\"Sue\",pets:[\"cat\",\"fish\"]}],pets:[]}"
JSONAssert.assertEquals(expected, actual, false);

it returns
friends[id=3].pets[]: Expected bird, but not found ; friends[id=3].pets[]: Contains cat, but not expected

Rolling snakes cant get no satisfaction. Satisfaction from speed and danger. So they need more and more of it. But be careful. Someone put whole bunch of stones along the way.
Just avoid the rocks. Enjoy the speed.

There are different views on the significance of the Senate's conformation of Daniel Coats as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on March 15. The DNI is charged with facilitating smoother information sharing between the 16 agencies comprising the US national intelligence community, coordinating and integrating intelligence and breaking down stove-pipes. Some believe the appointment is routine, others think it's an event of great significance. It all depends on how serious the US president is about his pledge to reform the national intelligence community.
Daniel Coats, a traditional conservative from Indiana closely affiliated with the Tea Party, is going to turn 74 this May. He has the reputation of being liked and respected roundly on both sides of the political aisle. The new DNI is a Wheaton graduate and serious Christian. He is affiliated with the Fellowship, a US-based religious and political organization. It's one of the most politically well-connected ministries in the country. Coats is married to Marsha Coats, Indiana's female representative to the Republican National Committee. She supported Trump during the 2016 presidential race.
The new DNI has rich political experience having served 16 years as Senator, including the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees, and four terms in the House of Representatives. He also served as US ambassador to Germany. Coats is the first DNI nominee not to come from the professional military, intelligence community or diplomatic service.
As a Senator in 2013, he defended the NSA after former contractor Edward Snowden revealed it was secretly collecting Americans' phone records en masse. Coats voted against a 2015 bill, the USA Freedom Act that constrained the mass surveillance.
The new DNI is a vocal Russia hawk though his stance may seem to be irrelevant as his job is to assess and distribute intelligence, not influence foreign policy decisions. In theory, it is supposed to be more of a technical job. As Coats told the president, «You need to fully understand my role. My role is to provide you the best intelligence to formulate policy, not formulate policy or be a spokesman for any political decisions that are made».
The very expediency of the position is questioned. Some believe it stifles competition among intelligence agencies. Actually, the DNI has too limited powers to adequately lead and the intelligence community because the Defense Department is in charge of the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The CIA and the NSA are authorized to hold independent briefings.
Despite that, it's the DNI who is best suited to initiate intelligence community reforms. Coats is known to possess the grit and the influence to carry out the mission.
Somehow scandals hitting the headlines eclipsed some important issues the president raised during the pre-election race. Daniel Coats' assignment would thrust him into the center of the intelligence community the president has publicly challenged. Donald Trump bitterly criticized the intelligence agencies, accusing them of politicizing intelligence data and making critical errors in analysis and reporting. He was crafting plans to restructure at least two of the nation's top intelligence agencies – the CIA and the office of the director of national intelligence.
The DNI has more responsibilities than authorities to prompt the increase of bureaucratic staff. The sheer amount of intelligence collection – especially digital collection – has begun to overwhelm the ability of the agencies to effectively analyze the material. The introduction of new technology has failed to address the problem. After the scandals related to Edward Snowden and Wikileaks, Coats faces the mission of rebuilding public trust in the intelligence community that is widely believed to be too intrusive.
The president believes that the DNI – the agency established in 2004 as a response to the 9/11 terror attacks – has become too bloated and politicized and needs to be slimmed down. The idea of removing the DNI position is on the agenda. The cabinet level office has budgetary control over the 16 agencies it oversees without hiring or firing authority at any individual agency, limiting its ability to actually control personnel decisions or effect operations. Trump also wants to reform the system of interaction between the agencies to make it more efficient.
Reforming intelligence community is a natural thing to do. New missions appear as time goes by. There is always a need to adapt to reality but today the DNI position is very influential. The Director is the person who has the president's ear and he is the one to inform Congress about what's going on in the US and the world.
True, no one is absolutely impartial and there is always a chance to twist the information a bit to make it look more what you want it to be. From point of view of Russia-US relations, it's not so important that the new intelligence chief is not a friend of Russia. It's his ability to do his job properly that matters.
It is ridiculous, that today, Russia is blamed for everything that goes wrong in the United States. Raising hue and cry is never backed by anything like solid evidence. Under the circumstance, professionalism and impartiality – the principles Dan Coats promised to abide by – would serve the interests of both countries. He has expressed openness to partnering with Russia against ISIS. Sharing intelligence is key for such cooperation. The efforts to do it efficiently have been futile so far. If Daniel Coats changes the tide, he'll do a great service to his country and all those who sincerely apply efforts the fight the common enemy international terrorism.

Q: Removing element from a list by a regexp in Python I am trying to remove a string that is in parentheses from a list in Python without success.
See following code:
full = ['webb', 'ellis', '(sportswear)']
regex = re.compile(r'\b\(.*\)\b')
filtered = [i for i in full if not regex.search(i)]

Returns:
['webb', 'ellis', '(sportswear)']

Could somebody point out my mistake?

A: >>> import re
>>> full = ['webb', 'ellis', '(sportswear)']
>>> x = filter(None, [re.sub(r".*\(.*\).*", r"", i) for i in full])
>>> x
['webb', 'ellis']

A: For my use case, this worked.
Maybe it would be useful for someone finding the same problem
doc_list = dir(obj)
regex = re.compile(r'^__\w*__$')
filtered = [ele for ele in doc_list if not regex.match(ele)]

A: The \b word boundary makes it impossible to match ( at the beginning of a string since there is no word there (i.e. \b requires a letter, digit or underscore to be right before ( in your pattern, and that is not the case).
As you confirm you need to match values that are fully enclosed with (...), you need regex = re.compile(r'\(.*\)$') with re.match.
Use
import re
full = ['webb', 'ellis', '(sportswear)']
regex = re.compile(r'\(.*\)$')
filtered = [i for i in full if not regex.match(i)]
print(filtered)

See the IDEONE demo
The re.match will anchor the match at the start of the string, and the $ will anchor the match at the end of the string.
Note that if your string has newlines in it, use flags=re.DOTALL when compiling the regex (so that . could also match newline symbols, too).

Paperback / Good - 180.000₫
A stunningly powerful novel of man's will to survive against all odds, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature.
"This is a shattering work by a literary master."--The Boston Globe
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
A Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year
A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers--among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears--through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of man's worst appetites and weaknesses--and man's ultimately exhilarating spirit.
