Q: Ignore some wrapper tags in XML with JAXB 2.0 There are two similar questions on SO:
How to ignore some tags in XML in Jaxb
JAXB ignoring xml tag attribute
But unfortunatelly they don't solve my problem. I'm looking for method how to skip some tags in XML using pure JAXB annotations without moxy.
@XmlElementWrapper annotation works only with collecitons. In my case there is something like:

   <skipThisWrapper>
     <someInternalComplexStructure>
       ...
       <C>...</C>
     </someInternalComplexStructure>
   </skipThisWrapper>

It should be mapped on class structure:
class A {

   // @XmlElementWrapper(name="skipThisWrapper") - it doesn't work for non-collection fields!

   @XmlElement(name='someInternalComplexStructure')
   ComplexStructure complexStructure;
}

And yes, I can not turn complexStructure to collection because this structure is inherited from some legacy basic classes.

A: You need to write an XmlAdapter that transforms a class A object containing a skipThisWrapper element into a class B object containing the someInternalComplexStructure. This merely requires you to write class B by reusing the class for someInternalComplexStructure and an adapter with the very simple transformations in both directions.
If you have hand-written Java classes it is quite simple, but I refrain from inventing any code. You can find examples for adapters in very recent SO Q&As tagged jaxb ( Avoid Empty Sub-Tags in XML if everything is blank in an object or JAXB can not handle XML element containing white space to java.net.URI mapping). If you need help, add some Java code to your Q onto which the adapter can be fitted.

The message you're getting sounds more informational than serious. If the machine's running OK I wouldn't pay too much attention it. If the machine becomes unstable your friend will need to replace the memory.
Have you messed around with the RAM timings/settings in your BIOS? Have you tried the default values for the BIOS? Are you overclocking your system? It is also possible that the RAM may be going bad... but like others have mentioned, this is an informational message. If were a critical message, your system would stop posting and recommend you go into the BIOS to fix the setting(s). If you are not having data corruption ,BSODs, lockups and erroneous erros, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If on the otherhand you are... it's time for new RAM... better yet, time to upgrade that system to someting "more" recent.
ok i did suggest upgrade,but as they are a new user they were anxious to get going with the net,anyway i took xp off and reinstalled 98 and its more stable,thnks again for the input.

Bona has a finish that is anti-slip which we have used on stair treads and steps and I thought it would be a good idea to try it in our home on our stairs to see how it works. In one word: Amazing. We have wood stairs leading up to our second floor and this product is the real deal. In stocking feet you can feel the grip and I felt a lot more confident in walking down the stairs. I felt better about our dog, Mango, going down the stairs, also.
On the Bona website they say that this product is "formulated to meet the highest standards for slip resistance." It is GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality, also.
We also coated our sunken living room floor at the same time. The finish looks the same, but if you run your hand along the stair or floor, you can feel a difference.
We have friends that have older dogs, and I'm going to see how they do getting up off the floor with the added traction that the finish provides. I think this product is something that clients will like for their stairs for sure, and if there are small children or dogs that slip on the floor – this is the finish to use.
It took a couple of hours to prep (tape off the spindles and risers) and buff the stairs and coating was very quick. I was able to walk up the stairs at the end of the day in my stocking feet with no problem.


For me, no Christmas would be complete without David Foster's exciting arrangement of the "Carol of the Bells." Also called "Ukranian Carol" for its Ukranian origins as a folk chant, this song has been covered (and parodied) hundreds of times over the years. Foster's rendition is still my favorite instrumental version, though, with its fiery, pulsating ostinato. I hope you enjoy it, too.


Scott Sforza: I'm gonna put these giant spotlights here in New Orleans, just like I did with the Statue of Liberty on 9/11/02, and if you think the next three years won't be a half-trillion dollar sinkhole of devastatingly corrupt cronyism, too, it's your own fault.
"Bobby DeServi and Scott Sforza were on hand as we drove up about 8 p.m. or so EDT handling last-minute details of the stagecraft," Bumiller wrote. DeServi is the White House's chief lighting designer; Sforza is in charge of visuals.
"Bush will be lit with warm tungsten lighting, but the statue [of Andrew Jackson] and cathedral will be illuminated with much brighter, brighter lights . . . like the candlepower that DeServi and Sforza used on Sept. 11, 2002, to light up the Statue of Liberty for Bush's speech in New York Harbor," she wrote.


This is my final week of preparations before the beginning of the window of tides for my swim. I don't think I can effect my fitness in a positive way now, its just a case of eating well, resting between shifts, checking the administration side of things and keeping up the acclimatisation by frequent dips in the sea (I swam yesterday evening (Sunday3rd August) and again at lunchtime today in the North Sea) nothing severe just relaxing swims at around 14 and half degrees C, which is good as it is around 17 mid Channel now. The lifeguards at Seaton were in attendance and they handed me a good luck card…I was touched thank you.
I had a nice chat with Enda Kennedy this morning who has already arrived in Dover ahead of his swim. There seems to be lots of people on this tide besides Enda and myself there is Kevin Murphy, Megan Turner, Maggie Kidd, Vasanti and Rob to name a few… those are just the ones I know of but there are many more, who like me, are no doubt watching the weather and the long range forecasts trying to predict when the conditions may improve. I realise it is pointless ME checking the weather but its hard to resist. When all is said and done it will be the pilot who will decide if and when the time is right.
I am becoming increasingly anxious and excited at the same time, ideally I will not be Dover for the whole week as I will miss Charlie terribly, that said it is hopefully a once in a life time mission. One that will raise lots of pennies for the charity and one that has been on my mind everyday for years. One that Charlie may well get a taste for too in the future. Even though he strongly suggests otherwise at the moment!
Other concerns as well as being homesick will be the waiting around that all Channel swimmers experience, the worry of my support crew arriving on time bearing in mind some of them have a 7 hour drive to contend with minimal warning, can I handle the cold water for maybe 14 hours plus especially the cold water washed up from the depths by passing ships, marine life?…I have read some scary stories of certain things accompanying swimmers across the Dover Straits, seasickness for both me and the crew, and of course will my body hold out.
It is a mammoth task, I don't think I could have done a lot more by way of training, today's training swim pushed my total distance since the Ironman last July over 1 million metres.
I was telling a colleague yesterday (who has finished IMAustria a couple of times) that nothing compares to swimming in cold water, no amount of pool work can prepare you for the pain of all kinds you have to deal with in the sea, physically its easier doing and Ironman triathlon in say 12 hours than swimming for six hours in a cold choppy Dover Harbour.
No one said it was going to be easy and it certainly hasn't been, however the real work and pain is yet to come.
No time now for anything but positive thoughts.
All the best - may our dreams materialize!
At least your toes will not get frostbitten. I'll be watching progress of you, Enda and Maggie primarily, but also a few others also. So what will be next, Mt. Everest? If you don't want to do that, you could consider the Ultraman in Hawaii, with its 52-plus mile run on the third day.

Threat Review: Thrilling, Taut and Tense
On December 21, 2016 December 22, 2016 By dorsetbookdetectiveIn Reviews, Thrillers
When I told some Christie fan friends that I was reviewing the latest novel by Hugh Fraser (famed for his portray of Captain Hastings in the televised adaptions of the Poirot novels, as well as his hilarious portrayal of the Duke of Wellington in Sharpe), they were excited. 'I wonder if it'll be anything like Christie's novels?'
Errr, no. Definitely not. Fraser's second novel featuring the devious, streetwise and downright ruthless hit woman Rina Walker is dark, twisted and as hard hitting as its protagonist. Set in 60s London, there is a lot of swinging and plenty of gangsters to contend with for the glamorous Rina, as she battles against pimps, killers and generally shady characters in the hunt for the truth behind the disappearance of a number of prostitutes, all of whom work for the same man.
There's a whiff of old school, Golden Age crime fiction early on when Rina and her girlfriend Lizzie make a new friend at a nightclub opening and promptly follow him to the country manor of a friend, although this quickly returns to the sordid and seedy as the pair encounter orgies, blackmail and general debauchery.
It is this scene and the reckless behaviour Rina displays, which are the only unbelievable aspects of the novel. Whilst Fraser has the dialogue down pat, flawless characterisation and a frankly brilliant way of writing about 60s London that will make you feel as if you are there, it just doesn't sit well with me that a seasoned contract killer would leave her 14 year old sister alone in London to escape the dangerous men hounding her for one night out. Fraser's skilled characterisation portrays Rina as fiercely loyal and dedicated to her sister, and as such her carelessness just doesn't add up.
However, if you can overlook this potential plot flaw then there is a lot on offer here. Threat offers the reader a unique and realistic portrayal of the seedier side of London, and the first person narrative makes for an interesting dynamic, giving the novel the feel of a film script. With more twists and turns than a West Country road this is an exciting, edge of your seat thriller that keeps the reader guessing.
If anything, Threat should be read exclusively as a lesson in how to write lesbians in crime fiction. Rina and Lizzie's relationship isn't a plot device, nor is it a fetish or something heralded as weird; it's just there. And that is something we definitely need more of.
As an exercise in swearing this book packs an equally mighty punch- the first person narrative makes the exquisite dialogue all the more vivid and impactful.
Overall I would definitely recommend you check this out. Leave your preconceptions at the door- Hugh Fraser's writing is so far removed from my memories of him declaring 'Good Lord' at every conceivable moment that it is almost laughable. This is a really different, edgy thriller that makes for an intense read and an enjoyable, fast-paced read.

Vaakevandring fue una banda noruega de unblack metal que estuvo activa entre los años 1996 y 2007. Su nombre en el idioma noruego quiere decir "mover y despertar al pueblo", dicho nombre hace referencia a la resurrección de Jesucristo. Vaakevandring tocaba un estilo de unblack metal atmosférico, épico, sinfónico y folclórico. Su EP autotitulado fue producido por Stian Aarstad de Dimmu Borgir con lo que ganó mucha apreciación. A pesar de solo haber lanzado un EP, la influencia de Vaakevandring sobre la escena del unblack metal fue muy significativa dado que fue una de las bandas clave para cambiar la temática lírica dominante "anti-satanista" iniciada por el fundador del movimiento del unblack metal y líder de Horde, Jayson Sherlock y guio el movimiento hacia un sentido más filosófico y emocional. Vaakevandring compartió escenario con Antestor en el Swedish Endtime Festival del año 2007.

Historia

En 1996, Alexander Nygård y Trond Bjørnstad formaron una banda llamada Lothlorien junto a Morten Sigmund Magerøy y un guitarrista local. El estilo de Lothlorien se volvió muy pesado y pronto cambiaron su nombre a Inertia. Trond dejó el bajo y empezó a hacer voces y gritos guturales, el segundo guitarrista comenzó a tocar el bajo.

Lothlorien tuvo problemas internos a causa de la religión. El segundo guitarrista (que después tocaría el bajo) quería escribir canciones sobre temas más oscuros y eventualmente dejaría la banda. En ese mismo momento Pål y Ronny Hansen invitaron a Magerøy a  unirse a su proyecto "Signum Crusis". Ensayaron una vez y luego Alexander Nygård se volvió su guitarrista. Cambiaron el nombre de su banda a "Korsferd". Morten tocaba la guitarra, Ronny el bajo y Pål Dæhlen la batería. Hansen se concentró en la voz y Trond pasó a ser el bajista. Para entonces ya habían cambiado el nombre de la banda a Vaakevandring.

La banda alcanzó cierta popularidad aceptable entre los años 1998 y 1999 gracias a su demo, el cual fue producido y mezclado por Stian Aarstad, teclista de Dimmu Borgir. Esto ocasionó diversos rumores en internet. La razón por la cual Stian Aarstad quiso producir su demo fue porque el los escuchó tocar en vivo. Él les ofreció una sesión gratis en estudio porque necesitaba entrenamiento en mezcla y producción. El demo estaba terminado en diciembre del año 1998 y ya se habían hecho más de 100 copias, en Indonesia fue lanzado en casetes a través de THT Productions a principios del año 2000.

Luego, la banda grabó una canción titulada "The Fall Of Man" para la compilación In The Shadow Of Death de Endtime Productions. Lars Stokstad, guitarrista de Antestor, fue guitarrista de sesión para esa canción. Tanto Hansen como Magerøy se unieron a la banda Antestor mientras todavía eran miembros de Vaakevandring. Pål Dæhlen se unió a Frosthardr. El demo de Vaakevandring fue relanzado como un EP autotitulado por la discográfica noruega, Monumentum Scandinavia, se ha consolidado desde entonces como un clásico del unblack metal.

Estilo e importancia

A principio de la década de los años 90, la escena del unblack metal estaba dominada por "anti-satanismo" y "mentalidad de cruzado" de Horde. Con elementos más cristianos tales como plegarias al Padre y otras temáticas tales como la conversión y salvación, bandas como Antestor, Crimson Moonlight y Vaakevandring dieron giro hacia una nueva dirección. Vaakevandring transfirió el desarrollo filosófico, emocional e ideológico a la escena cristiana del black metal.

Teaching Journalism in the Digital Age
Nieman Reports Fall 2007
Adapt or Die of Irrelevance
The clash between academic requirements for professors and the education students of journalism need to have grows more intense.
Karl Idsvoog
@idsvoog
J-School New Media Teaching Journalism
I'm doing something few university student journalists ever do. I'm writing an article to be published on the pages of a magazine. There won't be an iPod version, or a video to accompany its eventual appearance online, or interactivity for discussion and debate about what I say, or a blog or slide show—just words on the page. Only gradually is Nieman Reports adapting to what every journalism student must adapt to quickly—the evolving multimedia environment. With university journalism education, we can no longer train print journalists, or radio or TV journalists, or photojournalists; today, these are all pieces of a larger pie we call multimedia journalism.
Boom! That's the sound heard as journalism schools blow up their curriculum. That's what we're doing here at Kent State, and the leadership comes from a pleasantly surprising place—Fred Endres, the senior faculty With university journalism education, we can no longer train print journalists, or radio or TV journalists, or photojournalists; today, these are all pieces of a larger pie we call multimedia journalism.member, who is like Thomas Edison in that he will stop coming up with innovative ideas on the day he dies. A former print reporter turned professor, in 1987 Endres started the computer-assisted reporting course at Kent. He then developed our first online journalism class in 1999, and three years later started a collaborative course where print and broadcast journalists fight—I mean work with each other—on news projects.
"It is all about multimedia, interactivity, 24-hour deadlines, and new methods of delivering the news," says Endres. "It's more than we ever expected of students 10 to 15 years ago." In every class, students are forced to think—and perform—across a variety of platforms. Photojournalism professor Teresa Hernández observes that "multimedia has become the way of the still photographer," and this means the visual gets immersed in sound. "People want to hear and see things more and read less," she says. "Like it or not, that is the reality." There's another reality, too, that every journalism professor must recognize—the job market. "Many of the photo internships are now for multimedia," Hernández says.
Jan Leach, a journalism professor who came to Kent State a few years ago from a print newsroom, shares this experience. "I'd be surprised if any newspaper editor would hire a student right out of j-school who didn't have a good understanding of writing/producing online," she says.
In the school's legal issues class, Barrett v. Rosenthal is to the Internet what New York Times Co. v. Sullivan is to libel, as citizen journalism becomes the "next major battleground" for online speech, in the view of Professor Tim Smith. In the courtroom as well as the newsroom, the news media landscape is changing rapidly, so for students to succeed, the classroom—and the university in which it is embedded—must change as well. "If we want our kids to be competitive, we need to prepare them for the world they are about to enter," Smith says.
In Kent State's audience analysis class, Professor Max Grubb's students don't analyze only the TV Nielsen ratings, but they also examine the use of the Web. It's no longer just about circulation and ratings. Grubb, who spent 15 years on the sales/marketing side of the broadcast business, contends that blogs, citizen journalism, and interactivity have transformed the structure of the media business into what he calls the "architecture of participation." "As media professionals," says Grubb, "our students need to understand and facilitate rather than resist it."
Resisting Change
Creative thinking consultant Roger von Oech contends that nobody likes change except a baby whose diaper is wet. Too many j-school students seem proof of that notion. Beginning this fall semester, the j-school is moving into a new building with wireless Internet, high-speed video servers, and a converged newsroom. Student leaders are working with faculty to develop the organizational structure for student media. At a recent planning meeting, one of our brighter and more talented students listed a few potential stories, then asked the student from the school newspaper what she would put on the front page. He then posed the same question to the student representative from the TV station; how would she lead her newscast? He was demonstrating the ways in which newspapers and broadcast media approach the telling of news differently. But nobody raised any questions about how to cover these stories for a multimedia Web site. Each saw coverage only from inside of his or her own silo.
Such attitudes spell doom—in contemporary newsrooms and classrooms. "The more ostriches in your newsroom or on your faculty, the more likely your organization will quickly join the list of endangered species," Endres cautions. Amid the downsizing of newsrooms now going on, even veteran journalists are finding it essential to learn new skills. And some are returning to school to do so. Kent State's graduate coordinator, Von Whitmore, recognizes that "graduate programs will have to adapt to this new demand by developing alternative ways for working professionals to take classes [that] must teach students about multiple platform content from the very first course in the curriculum." Graduate student Susan Kirkman spent 20 years working as a journalist at the Akron Beacon Journal, most recently as the managing editor for multimedia and special projects. Kirkman's advice to journalists for managing change applies as much to newsrooms as it does to journalism schools: "Figure out how to create cultures that support innovation."
This is the toughest challenge we face—given how difficult cultural shifts can be to make within a university. "Some faculty will never be able to collaborate with those in other disciplines; others will do so, but reluctantly," says Endres. "Still others, maybe a third of current faculties, will find the move out of silos to be exciting and invigorating. You can probably identify those faculty members already. They're the ones with all the most forward thinking and aggressive students hanging around their offices."
Building a J-School Faculty
It's impossible to teach what you don't know, yet learning new software programs and developing multimedia skills requires the investment of time, resources and money. "It's the trifecta of money, time and personnel," says Whitmore. "[But] foundation money for journalism programs is shrinking while federal and state support for higher education has all but vanished."
Without universities willing to bring in faculty members with the skills and experience necessary to prepare students to meet the rapidly changing demands by getting rid of some academic barriers—such as requiring faculty members to have a PhD—journalism schools will remain on the precipice of becoming irrelevant to the profession. Editors are not determining which stories to tell and how to tell them by reading academic journals, yet universities reward publication of such articles more highly than they do teaching or passing on cutting-edge multimedia skills or figuring out how to get students to think creatively and broadly about how journalistic values mesh with the changes brought about by technological progress.
With this in mind, the requirements posted in the advertisements in The Chronicle of Higher Education for jobs as j-school professors seem all the more troubling. Recently I checked 20 of them, and all but one indicated that a PhD was required or preferred. Most did not require or give the preferred number of years of professional experience, though for one position the ad stipulated two years of professional experience. (I certainly know how much I knew after only two years on the job.)
Why so little experience would be deemed sufficient by any journalism program pinpoints a major disconnect between academia and the demands of the marketplace. Hiring someone to teach a reporting class who has never reported is like signing up a doctor who's never been in the operating room to teach surgery, or asking a lawyer who's never had a client or filed briefs or been in a courtroom to teach law. Educating journalists has always required more than an academic orientation—and this imbalance of university requirements vs. faculty relevance has always been a part of journalism school's uneasy fit inside the academy. But today the fit isn't just uneasy, it's untenable.
Universities will need to adapt or their j-schools will die of irrelevance. With soaring tuition costs, prospective journalists will refuse to waste time and money learning what they don't need to know while a glance over their shoulder will spot plenty of young people finding stimulating, on-the-job tutorials in places other than classrooms.
Journalism's Importance
Kent State understands this. In its rich mix of faculty—in which nearly every member has spent years working as a journalist—a tenure-track professor can focus either on research or on practice. At a recent Investigative Reporters and Editors conference, a professor from another university asked me how I could be on a tenure-track position without having a PhD. At Kent State, I am the only faculty member on staff who has worked professionally in digital media. Indeed, our situation may currently be out of the norm, but to survive, it's the direction j-schools that want to remain relevant must head. To achieve that, those directing j-school programs must be able to explain to provosts and deans and university presidents the ways in which journalism differs from other scholarly pursuits—and why the mesh of classroom learning and on-the-street and in-the-newsroom reporting lessons and experiences are essential.
At Kent State, the faculty also appreciates what many news corporations have forgotten—that journalism is essential for our democracy to function. In the Winter 2006 issue of Nieman Reports, former Nieman Curator Bill Kovach stressed the importance of the "journalism of verification." Journalism isn't rumor, isn't about repeating gossip, and isn't about celebrity. The statement of purpose for the Committee of Concerned Journalists—the organization Kovach founded—should be placed at the entryway of every school of journalism. It states, "The central purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with accurate and reliable information they need in order to make informed judgments in a self-governing society." As former "Nightline" producer Tom Bettag in his article "Evolving Definitions of News" so aptly stated, "Credibility is so valuable today because it is so scarce."
For these reasons, and so many more, journalism education has never been as important as it is today. All of the software, streaming video, interactivity, flash animation, blogs and audio all become irrelevant when the journalism they are called to serve isn't solid. Students need to learn how to secure and dig through documents, to comprehensively prepare for interviews, to determine whether a story holds up to tough scrutiny or loses its legs as more information is gathered and assessed, and to appreciate what journalism is and why it matters. "The major obstacle facing journalism schools is the stark realization that students need to have critical thinking skills first, and then we need to ask them to start applying the multimedia skills on top. Without the first, there can be no use of that second that makes any sense," says Kent State journalism professor Barbara Hipsman.
Delivery platforms for news and information have changed—and at breakneck speed they will continue to change. In the past, it might have been possible, if not ideal, to pass along to students the fundamental principles and skills of journalism even if professors never had direct engagement with newsroom techniques and skills. Too much is changing too quickly in the digital news environment—and consequently in the marketplace these students will enter—to allow this mismatch to continue.

The answer is hardly ever clear-cut.
The Times doesn't have any "official" definition of terrorism. Unlike the U.S. government, we don't have some kind of formal process of labeling terrorists, and I don't think we need one. It's probably not surprising that "terrorism" and related terms are likely to be used more often for attacks connected to well-known, long-standing, recognized terrorist organizations like ISIS or Al Qaeda—events like the Paris attacks, for instance. But in fact The Times has often used "terrorism" in connection with white supremacist attacks and other cases of domestic extremism, going back to Timothy McVeigh and beyond. A quick check shows that we used it in several stories in the Charleston coverage. The main point is, we try to report the facts accurately and fairly, in language that is clear to our readers. We are not working with predetermined categories or official terms or definitions. (When I'm in doubt, I generally turn to the dictionary).
We generally avoid the terms because we prefer to describe more specifically what the individuals in question have done.
In each case, there are talks about the right ways to describe what has happened. That may change in the first few hours or days as more information comes in. "Murder" or "terror" or "hate crime"—all those words start percolating in the back of your mind, but it's always best to stick to the facts and stick to the action words as information is still coming in before trying to apply labels. Now, there comes a point where it's clear one way or the other in many of these cases. It became clear pretty quickly in Paris that this was something more than "simple" crimes. You had a lot of eye witness reporting about what was said by the attackers, how they operated, and the coordinated nature of the attacks. The targets were civilians—often an important consideration when deciding whether something is or is not terrorism.
Some of the threshold questions you have to start looking at and trying to answer: Is there evidence that it was a political motive? Is there evidence or indication that one of the motives was to strike terror in some sort of an attempt to force change, either in government or policy?
…[Regarding the shooting in Charleston] I don't think newsrooms have settled on that one yet. Did he have political motives or was it a hate crime—a racially motivated crime? We'll find out when the trial gets going whether he really did think he was going to start a race war.
Part of the media's job is to lay out the facts. Labels are interesting but they sometimes aren't helpful and they can get in the way.

Dow and DuPont, two of America's oldest giants, to merge in jaw-dropping megadeal
By Drew Harwell

Two of corporate America's oldest institutions, chemical giants Dow Chemical and DuPont, will merge into a $130 billion behemoth — and then split again into three companies — in one of the largest megadeals of the year, the companies said Friday.
Since their founding in the 19th century, both companies have invented and sold some of the most transformative discoveries in modern chemistry, changing how our homes are built and painted and how our food is grown and stored.

Their innovations include a sweeping variety of now-ubiquitous chemicals, including the Kevlar in bulletproof vests and the Teflon in nonstick pans, as well as chlorine, Saran Wrap and Ziploc bags.
Today, most of their business is in selling the critical building blocks for the insulation of buildings, the production of cars and the planting and harvesting of international farms. The combined company, analysts said, would be the world's largest seed and pesticide conglomerate, controlling 17 percent of global pesticide sales and about 40 percent of America's corn-seed and soybean markets.
[The Dow-DuPont megamerger: A deal only Wall Street could love]
The companies will stage a "merger of equals," giving Dow and DuPont investors equal shares of the combined company, in an all-stock deal expected to finalize in late 2016, with dual headquarters in Midland, Michigan, and Wilmington, Delaware.
The resulting company, DowDuPont, will be split after 18 to 24 months via tax-free spin-offs into three independent, public companies focused on agriculture, including seeds and pesticides; materials, including coatings, plastics and industrial chemicals; and specialty products, including chemicals key to the electronics, biosciences and health industries.
The join-and-split maneuver, analysts said, could allow the companies to more easily drop divisions or research products that offered the least upside. But even with the split, the deal is expected to face intense scrutiny from federal antitrust regulators, who could question whether the merger will dramatically raise prices or lower availability of vital seeds and herbicides.
"Any merger that consolidates this market into fewer hands will give farmers fewer choices and put them at even more economic disadvantage," said Wenonah Hauter, executive director of the advocacy group Food & Water Watch, in a statement. "The Department of Justice needs to block this merger to prevent the further corporate control of the basic building blocks of the food supply."
The companies, which made a combined $83 billion in global revenue last year, said the megadeal would reveal $3 billion in "cost synergies" — overlapping expenses the companies can cut within the merger's first two years.
DuPont said it expects 10 percent of its 63,000-strong global workforce will be "impacted," and the company is budgeting for $650 million in "employee separation costs." Analysts also expect layoffs at Dow, which employs 53,000 worldwide.
"This transaction is a game-changer for our industry and reflects the culmination of a vision we have had for more than a decade to bring together these two powerful innovation and material science leaders," Dow chief executive Andrew Liveris said in a statement. He also called it a "seminal event for our employees."
Both companies have battled criticism from activist investors who pushed to cut corporate spending or break up operations. And both have been pressured by a slow-growing global economy and a strengthening U.S. dollar to find ways to cut costs, including in research and personnel.
On a conference call Friday, DuPont chief executive Ed Breen said, "When I look at DuPont and Dow, I see businesses that fit together like hand in glove."
The corporate marriage caps a record-setting year for mergers and acquisitions, following deals between pharmaceutical giants Allergan and Pfizer, megabreweries Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller, and food conglomerates Kraft and H.J. Heinz. Companies have agreed to more than $4 trillion in deals this year across the world, including more than $2 trillion in the U.S., data from researcher Dealogic show.
Dow was founded in 1897 by chemist Herbert Henry Dow primarily as a seller of bleach, but it would become one of America's chief suppliers of chemicals for explosives, medicines and tear gas during World War I. With the Monsanto Company, Dow would also produce Agent Orange, the toxic herbicide made infamous during and after the Vietnam War.
DuPont was founded in 1802 as a gunpowder mill by the French-American industrialist Éleuthère Irénée du Pont. The company would go on to develop neoprene, a synthetic rubber; corian, used in home countertops; mylar, a plastic in balloons; and the refrigerant freon.

Mohit to change tactics for smaller venue
India seamer Mohit Sharma is aware that moving from big Australian venues to the smaller Seddon Park in Hamilton will provide a new challenge when they face Ireland on Tuesday, as they have to change their tactics.
India are unbeaten so far and have already qualified for the quarter-finals, but Mohit says they are still looking to beat Ireland, who are aiming for the last eight, by adjusting their lines for the smaller venue.
Mohit said on the BCCI site: "There will be a difference in your thinking when you have to play in a small ground after playing in big grounds for a long time.
"You will have to change your lines, but we can't keep thinking too much about the size of the ground. It's the same for both teams and we have to concentrate on our strength and try and execute them to the best of our abilities.
"They have played two to three good games and have a chance to qualify for the knockouts. They have a good team and we have to play well to beat them and we will try to do well."
India's bowling unit did not have a happy time of it when they first arrived in Australia four months ago, but have finally found their rhythm with good performances from Mohit, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami.
Mohit added: "We have done pretty well as a unit. The way Shami and Umesh are bowling, it has helped me a lot.
"They have been bowling really well and have been able to exert a lot pressure up front. My job is to maintain that pressure, so that Ashwin and Jadeja are benefitted from it later."
He added of Ishant Sharma, whose injury saw Mohit called Down Under: "When I came over to Australia, Ishant helped me a lot. During our practices he helped with his inputs like what should be the length with the new ball and with the old ball.
"Ishant has visited Australia twice, so he is very experienced and quite aware of the conditions in Australia. It helped a great deal that we used to discuss these things during practice sessions."

Arthur Phillip (Fulham,  - Bath, ) fue un almirante de la Marina  Real británica y un administrador colonial. Phillip fue gobernador (1788-1792) de la primera colonia europea en el continente australiano —Nueva Gales del Sur— y fundador de la ciudad de Sídney.

Biografía

Juventud

Arthur Phillip nació en Fulham, Inglaterra en 1738. hijo de Jacob Phillip, un profesor de origen alemán, y Elizabeth Breach, una inglesa que se había vuelto a casar después de la muerte de su anterior marido. Phillip fue educado en el Hospital Real de Greenwich y a la edad de trece años se convirtió en aprendiz de la marina mercante.

Phillip se unió a la Marina  Real a los quince años y participó en el comienzo de la guerra de los Siete Años en Mediterráneo, durante la batalla de Menorca en 1756. En 1762 fue promovido a teniente y cuando la guerra terminó en 1763 se convirtió en un oficial con media paga. Durante este período, se casó y cultivó una granja en Hampshire.

En 1774 Phillip se unió a la Armada portuguesa como capitán, participando en la guerra contra España y ordenó una flota de barcos que transportaban prisioneros de Portugal a Brasil con una tasa de mortalidad muy baja. Esta puede ser la razón por la que fue elegido para conducir más adelante el primer convoy de prisioneros a Sídney.

Gobernador de Nueva Gales del Sur

En octubre de 1786, Phillip fue nombrado capitán del Sirius y elegido como gobernador de Nueva Gales del Sur, donde lord Sídney, ministro de Interior, planeaba crear la nueva colonia penal británica en la costa de Australia.

Para Phillip era muy difícil organizar su flota para ocho meses de viaje por mar a Australia ya que existían pocos fondos disponibles para financiar la expedición. Su sugerencia de llevar consigo a personas con experiencia en agricultura, construcción y artesanía fue rechazada. La mayoría de los 772 convictos (de los cuales 732 sobrevivió el viaje) eran pequeños ladrones de tugurios. Phillip fue acompañado por un grupo de marineros y un puñado de agentes civiles que tendrían que gestionar la colonia.

El primer buque alcanzó la bahía de Botany el  18 de enero de 1788. Phillip se da cuenta rápidamente de que el sitio, que fue elegido por recomendación de sir Joseph Banks que había acompañado a James Cook en 1770, no era apropiado, debido al suelo pobre y a la falta de fuentes de agua potable seguras. Después de una exploración de la región, Phillip decidió ir a Port Jackson y el 26 de enero (declarado Día de Australia), los marineros y presos desembarcaron en la cala de Sídney (Sydney Cove), nombre elegido por Phillip en honor de lord Sídney.

No mucho después del establecimiento en Port Jackson, Phillip envió al teniente Philip Gidley King con ocho guardias y un número de convictos para crear una segunda colonia británica en el océano Pacífico en la isla Norfolk ante la amenaza de los franceses de ocupar la isla para colonizarla.

Los primeros tiempos en la colonia fueron caóticos y difíciles. La necesidad de obtener alimentos por cultivo mientras los suelos alrededor de Sídney eran pobres, el clima era desconocido y muy pocos presos tenían conocimiento de agricultura, los llevó al borde de la inanición absoluta y fue el comienzo del proceso de la emancipación de los presos.

Phillip también tuvo que adoptar una política hacia los pueblos indígenas de la zona, que vivían alrededor de Sídney. Ordenó que fueran bien tratados y decretó que cualquiera que matara a un aborigen fuera colgado. Phillip trabó amistad con una eora de nombre Bennelong que llevó a Inglaterra.

Pero el principal problema del gobernador vino de sus propios oficiales que querían otorgarse importantes propiedades y del escorbuto. En octubre de 1788 Phillip tuvo que enviar al Sirius para conseguir alimentos frescos y decretar un racionamiento estricto.

It's that time of year again, hanging out with all my friends.
On a cold mid-winter day, no reason to be afraid.
Chimneys smoke, heaters are on, snowflakes falling on the front lawn.
Conversations, family dinners, this is how it's supposed to be.
Get the tree out of the attic, presents, it is just fantastic.
Lots of talks and colored lights. Clear sky starry full moon nights.
Pretty tree decorations. Holiday movies on TV.
The radio plays Christmas songs, I wish that you were here among us.
It's the only flaw on this day. You are not here with me.

And so it is that as John writes the seventh of these letters to the church at Laodicea, he does so in such a way that he might disrupt their leisurely lives with the urgency and currency of the gospel.
Paul's heart isn't only for the Colossians but for the Laodiceans to, likewise, be strengthened by his epistle — which, in fact, many believe to have been a "circular letter," that is, a letter that was circulated throughout local churches. This, I believe, is significant once the intent of Colossians is brought to light. The apostle's purpose is stated quite clearly at the beginning of the second chapter.
I would have you pay careful attention to that phrase, "all the riches of complete understanding" of "God's mystery," of the gospel. It's not by mistake or happenstance that Paul employs financial language when speaking to the Colossians and Laodiceans. Nor is it coincidental that John similarly speaks in monetary terms. Such language, no doubt, would've cut to the quick of each of the Laodiceans' lives.
Laodicea, you see, was an extremely wealthy town which was populated by prosperous citizens in various industries but specializing in finance and textiles. It is said that the city was especially known for its manufacturing of black woolen cloth, which held high value in trade and commerce centers. Its profitability is further understood by remembering the terrible earthquake of A.D. 60 which utterly leveled the city and the fact that its entire infrastructure was rebuilt without the aid of Roman subsidies. The Laodiceans outright refused the imperial assistance of Rome and restored their city of their own means. To be sure, the Laodiceans were wealthy, affluent people.
The Laodiceans might've appeared wealthy and well-off, but Christ perceived their truly impoverished state. To the human eye they appeared "healthy, wealthy, and wise," yet the Spirit of God knew them for who they truly were: a spiritually broke people coasting in leisure and luxury. Notwithstanding the riches they enjoyed "under the sun," they accumulated no spiritual wealth on which to boast. Therefore, in this missive to the church at Laodicea, I think three noteworthy truths rise to the surface regarding how the gospel of God totally disrupts our leisure.
A lesson about spiritual work.
It's not that cold and hot here represent opposite poles on a spiritual spectrum of discipleship and dedication. God's words to them are, "You are lukewarm. I'd rather you be cold or hot" (Rev. 3:15) — by which he's not inviting them to coldness of spirit. Rather, by this he means to inspire a reinvigoration of spiritual health and fervor and vitality. Water that's lukewarm offers neither refreshment (like cold water) or remedy (like hot water). Lukewarmness is, in effect, worthless, useless.
"I know your works," the Spirit says to them. God, the searcher of hearts knew that for which their hearts were truly pining. The Laodiceans were more interested in their lucrative businesses than the business of the gospel. Wealth and financial success had made them indifferent toward spiritual works. Within this church, there existed neither a brightly burning zeal for the things of God nor outright rejection of him. Instead, there festered a nauseating case of lukewarmness — a condition so nauseating and disgusting to our Lord Jesus that he'd rather vomit them out of his mouth. (Rev. 3:16) Which isn't to say that he's removing the promise of salvation from them. Rather, he's vehemently disrupting their leisurely, apathetic attitude toward the things of God.
And so it is that we see just how much God despises lukewarm, lackadaisical Christianity. Those who profess Christ but reserve for themselves lives of worldly comfort and safety and security are revolting and repulsive. "Five thousand members of a church all lukewarm will be five thousand impediments," says Charles Spurgeon. Not that we can't enjoy the prosperity with which God blesses us, but where's the gospel for you? What's your priority? Your riches in industry or riches in redemption? Such is what the Spirit of God admonishes in this letter.
The Laodiceans appeared to be okay with their status quo Christian lives. They were okay being "unconcerned spectators" on the sidelines of the Great Commission. But such a position doesn't exist in the business of the gospel. "You are," writes Octavius Winslow, "either for Christ, or you are against Christ. In this great controversy between Christ and Satan, you are not an indifferent and unconcerned spectator." (24) The gospel of God, the revelation of Jesus Christ, is not a collection of spiritual theories that serve as endless debate fodder for academics and scholars alike. It is the glad tidings of great joy that announces Jesus's restoration and rescue project for all creation. And with this announcement comes specific implications in tow. (Namely, the Fruit of the Spirit. See Gal. 5:22–23.) Where you find redeemed people, you will find evidences of their redemption.
A lesson about spiritual wealth.
This censure from the Lord Jesus isn't necessarily because of their finances, rather, it was because of their faith. They mistook their financial success for self-sufficiency, giving them a false sense of security. This is the classic pattern of those blessed by God: mistaking his blessing for their own abilities. It's easy to assign the Spirit's blessing on our profitability and mistake the fact that we are dreadfully out of step with God's words and ways. And rather than being "rich towards God" (Luke 12:21), we are often "rich towards ourselves." This is when we need to pray for the Spirit's grace which not only helps us in our need, but also open our eyes to recognize our need. Such is how the Spirit of God counsels this church.
Christ's counsel to this church constitutes the precise remedy to account for all their spiritual needs. Notice how completely Jesus's words to them resolves their insolvency. In him they find dress to cover their nakedness. And not just any dress, mind you, these are white robes of his own righteousness, the very "garments of salvation." (Isa. 61:10) In him their pitiful, poor estate is suffused with Christ's riches. In him their sightless eyes would be mended by his gracious balm. In Jesus Christ alone they would be venerated, clothed, and made to see again.
What's more, the word "buy," here, is the same word for "redeem," meaning "to buy back." Rather than investing their time and money and energy in increasing their industrious reach in this world, Jesus's declaration to them is to invest in spiritual wealth. Invest in the gospel. To find their treasure in God's free redemption. (Rev. 21:6; Isa. 55:1) To find their fortune in the glorious gospel that reminds us all that we've been bought back by the very blood of God. (Rev. 5:9) It is this same gospel, then, that serves as the Spirit's final lesson to the church at Laodicea.
A lesson about a spiritual welcome.
It's out of love, not hatred, that the Spirit of God reprimands the Laodiceans. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten." (Rev. 3:19) "Do not despise the Lord's instruction, my son, and do not loathe his discipline; for the Lord disciplines the one he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights." (Prov. 3:11–12; cf. Job 5:17–18; Prov. 13:24; Heb. 12:5–7) By such words he calls them to repentance, to restoration. "I want to rebuke your leisurely lifestyles and remind you of the treasure of the grace," the Spirit seems to say. "I want to disrupt your lives of luxury and remind you of the currency of the gospel." He succeeds his correction of them with an invitation to fellowship with him once again.
It's easy to see the parallels between Laodicea and the modern-day church. This, I believe, is a letter that's tailor made for 21st century Christianity. How often are we guilty of being "lukewarm" with our faith? How easy is it to become "comfy cozy Sunday" Christians? This is who he's addressing, those who sit in a sanctuary on Sundays but have no affiliation or affinity for the things of the gospel Monday through Saturday. It's not that the Laodiceans weren't true believers, it's that they had become independent and indifferent. The luxuries they enjoyed had made them lackadaisical in their spiritual walk.
To such, the invitation to come and dine is given. To sinners, the spiritual welcome is issued to come and find rest, find peace, find hope, find life at Jesus's feet. As he is God's "Amen" (2 Cor. 1:20), so is Christ the divine welcome for every sinner to find a haven, to find a home in him alone.

The Funding Dilemma
Snowdrift.coop aims to solve some of the problems facing free software funding by linking the amount of an individual pledge to the number of donors willing to share the financial commitment.
© Lead Image © Ben Heys, 123RF.com
Article from Issue 170/2015
Author(s): Bruce Byfield
For the past two years, Aaron Wolf has been studying crowdfunding for free software – specifically, sustained funding rather than one-time donations. His conclusion is that a new model of funding is needed, which he plans to implement with Snowdrift.coop [1], a new project that should launch in early 2015.
A music teacher by trade, Wolf became interested in free software because of his growing disillusion with Apple. "I remember feeling outraged when I learned that Apple's iOS terms effectively censor GNU General Public License software," he says. "Volunteers worked to provide valuable free resources to the world, and then Apple could just block users' access in order to compel people to get only proprietary apps and see ads or pay." By 2012, he had discovered GNU/Linux, "and the welcoming community far surpassed my limitations." Feeling a need to repay the benefits he received from free software, he was soon writing documentation for the KXStudio music system and providing non-technical help for the task manager Task Coach.
At the same time, Wolf started to focus on the economics of free software. He proposed some of his developing ideas to Task Coach, but "the developers weren't sure how to implement them." Instead, they urged him to spend his time developing his ideas. His friend David Thomas also encouraged him, offering to help build the necessary infrastructure. Although initially reluctant, Wolf allowed himself to be convinced. He now devotes much of his time to the project.
"When I decided to do it, I went all-in, working to get every detail right and thoroughly research all the relevant issues," Wolf says. "I'm even studying Haskell so I can understand and help a little with the code here and there."
Free Software and the Prisoner's Dilemma
The project takes its name from its structure, a cooperative, and its mission, to solve what Wolf calls the Snowdrift dilemma [2], a variation of the Prisoner's dilemma [3].
The Snowdrift dilemma compares the funding of free software to clearing a road of snow by volunteer effort. The blocked road is analogous to the problems that free software often faces, such as less polished interfaces or a developer-centric approach.
Clearing the road can be done three ways: If no one helps, the road remains blocked, and nobody wins – the problems remain. If you get others to do the work without you, you get a clear road at no cost to you and they get a clear road at heavy cost that may disincline them to contribute again. By contrast, if everyone helps everyone gets a clear road at modest cost; the problem is solved, and everyone is reasonably likely to contribute another time.
The problem, however, goes beyond this basic knowledge. As Wolf explains, if one person starts to shovel first, others have less incentive to join in. "Nobody wants to go first, and whoever has to get through sooner ends up doing it alone."
Wolf continues, "This dilemma explains why plain donation buttons are not that effective. For each new user asked to donate, the existing donors are a given. The project may be doing OK or may be struggling, but, either way, a new user's small donation makes basically no difference. If they bother at all, they'll donate just to the extent it makes them feel good."
Snowdrift.coop is designed as a way around this dilemma. Instead of making a one-time donation, donors become patrons on the site. Each donor makes the pledge: "I'll chip in a sustaining share based on how many others are with me in supporting this project – I'll do more if more people will help." In this way, Wolf theorizes, individual contributions make a difference, and ongoing contributions remain relevant.
Patrons can donate at any level they want, but Wolf proposes that the minimum share to be a patron of a project be one-tenth of a cent per month times the number of patrons. When they sign up, each patron sets how much they want to make available for donations; when they run out of funds, their pledges are no longer counted. In this way, Wolf explains, "the share value can never reach absurdly high levels unless everyone involved truly wants to keep funding and actually puts up enough funds."
Similar, higher-level shares will also be available for institutions to match donations with each other. Additionally, Snowdrift.coop is also implementing feedback and volunteer mechanisms, because contributions to free software are not always monetary. "We might even offer a similar pledge for volunteer time as for financial donations," Wolf adds, "but quantifying time and work is not as simple."
"Overall," Wolf says, "our system combines the mutual-assurance of threshold goals and matching pledges with the accountability and reliability of sustaining memberships. Because funding is spread out over time, patrons can increase or reduce support of a project to favor the ones that do the best work."
The project is organized as a cooperative, with three types of members: those who work on the site, the teams for projects asking for funding, and the general community of patrons. Each category of member will be represented on the board, and decisions will be by consensus.
This model is based on an extensive study of other funding models, including a review of more than 700 crowdfunding and donation sites [4]. According to Wolf, the problem with most crowdfunding sites is that they are good for one-off campaigns but can be costly and do not provide a sustainable solution. Moreover, they are mostly proprietary in their governance.
Snowdrift.coop did find some crowdfunding sites to recommend, such as Goteo.org and Open.Tilt.com, which Wolf describes as providing "the most public benefit," and Gratipay, which he calls a "decent site for ongoing donations, although their model doesn't address the snowdrift dilemma." He concludes that, "after all our research, it's clear that Snowdrift.coop truly represents a departure from any existing models."
Still To Be Done
Asked about the current state of the project, Wolf replies: "Two years after initializing, we have a functioning test site; a first full draft of bylaws, many wiki pages of writings covering background research, explanations, and project plans, and a community of volunteers and supporters enthusiastic about making this happen." In addition, the site is available for users to test with imaginary money.
Moreover, the project is still in the process of ensuring that its proposed handling of funds and its co-op structure are legally valid. Attracting members, finalizing user account settings, translations and other site tweaks remain to be done, and a launch fundraiser [5] is also scheduled for the near future.
"Our progress has been somewhat slow because we're a bootstrapped non-profit co-operative," Wolf says. "In essence, we're facing the same issues that many projects face: we work with the limited time and resources we have. As we get the system running, we will use it ourselves to accelerate our progress and hopefully become sustainable long-term."
Most of all, the Snowdrift dilemma remains to be proved relevant to funding – to say nothing of the project's solutions to it. However, with its patron pledge and cooperative structure, Snowdrift.coop might just be different enough to succeed. For anyone looking to fund or donate to free software, it's definitely a site to keep an eye on.

Put some spring in your step by putting spring on your plate.
Between the rain dances and ritual ceremonies we've been conducting to will spring finally to get sprung, we've been paying our respects especially to seasonal fruit and vegetables. Get in character for spring with us and dabble in this deliciousness.
Fruit and Vegtables in Season for April?
Rocket, asparagus, beans, beets, chicory, cabbage, chives, fava beans, leeks, lettuce, limes, morel mushrooms, oranges, papayas, potatoes (jersey royal and new potato) peas, purple sprouting broccoli, ramps, rhubarb, shallots, strawberries, sweet onions, turnips, watercress.
Vegetable of the Moment?
'April is a little ad hoc—a little of this and a little of that," says Chris Romano, an associate produce coordinator at Whole Foods in an interview for TIME. One of his top picks for April? 'You can see artichokes year-round, but this is by far the time to eat them,' says Romano. 'They're the most meaty artichokes you will have in the season and all year, and they have the biggest hearts.' Don't fall victim to the convenience of a jar of artichokes. It's worth it to buy them fresh, plus their UFO-like visage is no indication of their difficulty to prepare! All they need is a little steaming and a lot of melted butter on the side for dipping.

How to Enjoy?
Thomasina Miers gives some April insight in an interview she gave for Country & Town House about one of the month's pride vegetables. 'Rhubarb is incredible to cook with because of its colour. That neon pink makes everything look beautiful. I love it in puddings or bellinis, poached in the oven with citrus and vanilla. But recently I've also been pickling it with coriander seeds and white wine vinegar. It's amazing with a loin of pork or oily fish like mackerel.'
Regarding seasonal, weeknight suppers Miers tells us, 'We eat mostly veg in the week, it's quicker, easier and cheaper. I buy sourdough from the market on a Sunday and freeze it, which I toast and rub with garlic before piling with veg. Right now I would top with purple sprouting broccoli, roasted Jerusalem artichokes or Savoy cabbage.'

What I'm Watching: Killing Eve
Killing Eve: Season 3, Episode 7 "Beautiful Monster" (B-)
I just don't understand what the point of this show is right now, and it's hard to stay attached to the characters because everything seems so aimless at the moment. I was surprised at least that two main players got killed off in this episode, except that they didn't, and instead we have more unresolved plotlines that aren't headed anywhere productive. I'm a big fan of Konstantin's, and I've enjoyed seeing him so rattled constantly. In the first season, he wasn't all that interesting, but now he's easily the most endearing and likeable of everyone. I'm glad that he isn't dead, though the disappearance of Villanelle's killer instinct meant that she didn't make sure she killed Dasha, who I wouldn't have minded losing. This show's title is no longer applicable because there's literally no one trying to kill Eve, just the people who mean a lot to her, and we've barely seen any interactions between Villanelle and Eve this entire season. That's what I've always found to be best about this show since it's a complex and extremely intriguing relationship, and to deprive viewers of that all season is a real disappointment. Fiona Shaw continues to be the other MVP alongside Kim Bodnia as Konstantin, infusing Carolyn with a wild energy that allows her to dominate every scene. Gemma Whelan, as her daughter, is also great. Mo's death means no one is safe right now, and I can't imagine what could transpire in the finale that's going to allow this season to end on just as emphatic a note as either of the first two years.

Q: LightGBM: Intent of lightgbm.dataset() What is the purpose of lightgbm.Dataset() as per the docs when I can use the sklearn API to feed the data and train a model?
Any real world examples explaining the usage of lightgbm.dataset() would be interesting to learn?

A: LightGBM uses a few techniques to speed up training which require preprocessing one time before training starts.
The most important of these is bucketing continuous features into histograms. When LightGBM searches splits to possibly add to a tree, it only searches the boundaries of these histogram bins. This greatly reduces the number of splits to evaluate.
I think this picture from "What Makes LightGBM Fast?" describes it well:

The Dataset object in the library is where this preprocessing happens. Histograms are created one time, and then don't need to be calculated again for the rest of training.
You can get some more information about what happens in the Dataset object by looking at the parameters that control that Dataset, available at https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parameters.html#dataset-parameters. Some examples of other tasks:

*

*optimization for sparse features

*filtering out features that are not splittable

when I can use the sklearn API to feed the data and train a model

The lightgbm.sklearn interface is intended to make it easy to use LightGBM alongside other libraries like xgboost and scikit-learn. It takes in data in formats like scipy sparse matrices, pandas data frames, and numpy arrays  to be compatible with those other libraries. Internally, LightGBM constructs a Dataset from those inputs.

A: PyInstaller needs python to be compiled with --enable-shared and LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath=<path to python lib>.
In my case:

./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/opt/python
  LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath=/opt/python/lib

Getafe CF vs Real Madrid Preview & Analysis
Carlo Ancelotti and his side will travel to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium to take on Getafe on its home turf, for their next match of the La Liga 2021-22 season.
Real Madrid, after missing out on the record 35th title last year, is in scintillating form this time around. The team sits at the top of the table, with 46 points from 19 games. They have a comfortable lead of 8 points on the second-placed Sevilla. The team will be looking towards this game as an opportunity to extend this lead even further.
Getafe is playing its 5th consecutive La Liga season and is currently at the 16th spot with just 15 points to show from the 18 games played so far. The team has the same number of points as the 17th and 18th placed teams, and will be fighting hard in this game to prevent another relegation.
This however seems unlikely, and most betting sites are offering long odds on a Getafe win.
Match prediction and betting tips for Getafe vs Real Madrid La Liga 2021-22. The match is going to be played at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium, Getafe, on the 2nd of January 2022.
Getafe CF vs Real Madrid Betting Tips
Real Madrid comes into this game after a much-deserved rest of almost a week. Their last game against Athletic Bilbao was a close encounter, and the team managed a hard-fought 2-1 victory. In fact, Madrid has been unbeaten in all but one game this season, with its sole loss coming against Espanyol way back in October.
The team has scored a total of 41 goals so far this season, and both strikers Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior are in top form. The team is facing a CoViD outbreak within its camp and will miss Vinicius, Courtois, Valverde, David Alaba, Sergio Arribas, and Marco Asensio due to CoViD. Camavinga and Casemiro will miss the game too, due to suspensions. Luca Modric, who has recovered from CoViD, is expected to be back on the field for this game.
Getafe, after losing its first 7 games of the season, has since steadied their ship under the new manager Sanchez Flores and lost just twice in the 10 games under him. In fact, the team has kept a clean sheet in 4 out of its last 5 games.
With a depleted squad and a rejuvenated opponent, Real Madridwill be facing a tricky situation at the Alfonso Perez Stadium, but we still expect them to scrape through.
Bet on a Real Madrid win.
Real Madrid win to nil
Yes @ 3.00
We think it is going to be tough for Getafe to get on the board in this match. Both teams have some key players missing but the depth in the Real Madrid side is a lot more than Getafe has. Also, the offense for Getafe is a bit weak, to begin with. Despite it playing at home, we think the chance that a red-hot Real Madrid team wins by nil is very good.
