I recently switched from ST5 to ST6. I noticed that symbols were not converting properly from dft files to dwg files. I have attached a pdf file that contains a dft converted to a dwg along with the translation wizard setup used. Any help would be appreciated.
This has to do with either Font mapping when converting to DWG or more likely opening the resulting DWG on a machine that does not have the Solid Edge fonts installed. By default, the Solid Edge symbol fonts are not mapped to a different font and thus require those fonts to be installed on any PC that the DWG file is opend on to look correct. Even if you map them differently, chances are there is not an equivalent AutoCAD font that matches the symbols in the SE font.
I find it hard to believe that it is a result of opening a DWG on a machine that does not have Solid Edge fonts installed since I'm using the same PC to make dft and dwg files.
This looks like a bug. I just tried it and it appears that the Solid Edge ANSI Symbol fonts are getting replaced with the plain old Solid Edge ANSI font. Got a call into GTAC Support about it.
Thank you for confirming it isn't just me. I installed the service patch, SE64MP1 and it didn't help.
Hi jpocratsky, The problem of exporting callouts with mechanical symbols appears to be a bug related to some work we did in ST6. We do have a PR for this problem (PR#6948493). We have escalated the problem to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Q: Random discrete shape I'm trying to generate (in python) a random closed shape. Think, a sort of random blob within some nxn grid.
That is, given an nxn grid, I want to be able to generate a random blob; for n large, it should have the appearance of smoothness on the boundary.
Preferably, the blob fills the majority of the specified nxn grid.
Does anyone know a good way to do this/ a suggestion starting source? I've thought about some hack-ey version of a random walk that is forced to return to its origin point within some time range, but this seems possibly rather difficult.
I also thought about (for the larger nm x nm) grid, using some discretized version of Voronoi polygons, but I'm not totally sure how to discretize the Voronoi-type algorithm.
Thoughts?

I am consumed by the city. This isn't my first trip here, nor will it be my last, but the magic, the wonderment, it never goes away. My mind takes in the people, the sounds, the smells, the architecture, the beauty that lays at times under a thin veneer of grime and I am held in its sway. This city has a soul.
Walking through history on streets that are more than a thousand years old, streets built long before my country was born, I can't stop seeing things to shoot. Dichotomy applies: I miss my wife, my daughter, my dog… but I am an artist in Paris with nothing but my camera and free time to create.
Note: All photos taken with the Fuji X100F, or the Fuji X-Pro2 with the 14mm f/2.8 or the 50mm f/2 lens, using the Acros film simulation.
Many thanks my friend. Lots more to come in this series!
Nice shots of the Eiffel Tower and the couple by the clock face.
Those are very kind words, thank you for that. Street is a difficult genre to nail… All of the important elements in a photograph (subject, background, moment, light, etc) still need to be there but you can't control so many of the variables. When you get an image you are happy with though it feels great.
I love the subjectivity that comes with art. When I am in museums I don't read the names of pieces of work, nor do I read the artist's statements, until AFTER I have looked at a piece and had my own reaction to it. I want art to hit me on a visceral level. Then, it is often the little things that make a piece meaningful to me… those things you don't see until you have looked at an image a few times or gotten lost in the frame for a few minutes.
Can you be specific which Acros that you used? Red, Green, Yellow?
And what about other settings like shadow, highlight, NR, sharpness etc do you keep it at 0?
I use the Acros+R filter almost exclusively. I don't make many in camera setting changes, just a slight push to my shadows and highlights, as I like to nail the exposure in camera and then tweak in post if needed.

Heather McReynolds, Brewing Manager, is shaking a cask, and reaching in to pull out a rotting bag of once-fresh hops. The cask came from another brewery, then got here from our distributor. The hops are old, they've been in there for a while, and they smell.
She's joking around, but there's some truth to that. Cask ale is probably not your first thought when it comes to American beer, and certainly not when you think of Sixpoint. It's time intensive — the casks are harder for us to clean than pressurized kegs — and our real ale isn't that widely distributed in the USA. We clean the casks by hand, sanitize them by hand, and fill them by hand. This sort of moderate ABV, more traditional cask ale we like to make doesn't have the largest audience in the US at the moment… it's more of a specialty product for dedicated real ale drinkers. It's a style of beer that has nuance you can't get from other brews. And you certainly don't hear the **hype** about serving an English Mild with a small fistful of Columbus, that you might about a cask beer "dry-hopped" with chunks of mango or cacao beans. We're not saying traditional cask ale is better, but it certainly has its place, and it's worth the effort.
We brew small-batch real ale continuously for NYC and beyond, like our Growler Dark Mild, and offer other brews like Righteous and Otis on cask on occasion. We've also begun brewing every so often with our friends at Adnams Brewery in Southwold, England, where cask ale is more common. We've crafted cask versions of Bengali and Righteous across the pond, along with new formulations Make it Rain and BKLYN Bitter. It's our homage to British traditions that we respect and enjoy.
Secondary fermentation in the serving vessel, a large part of what defines cask ale, is more a part of Sixpoint history than you might think. We're founded on the idea that Beer is Culture — it's a living thing, constantly evolving and changing. Where better to experience that beer culture than in pubs, cultural bastions in their own right, drinking living beer?

President Biden meets with the Saudi royal family in a politically fraught gathering
It was perhaps the most anticipated moment of President Biden's trip to the Middle East - the moment that he came face to face with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the man who, according to U.S. intelligence agencies, gave the OK to the 2018 operation that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Biden greeted the prince with a fist bump, and that did not go over well back in the U.S.
NPR White House correspondent Asma Khalid has been traveling with the president and joins us now from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Hi, Asma.
ASMA KHALID, BYLINE: Hi, Ailsa.
CHANG: OK. So how exactly did today's meeting go?
KHALID: Well, Ailsa, I would say, to backtrack a bit, I mean, the White House has been extremely conscious of the criticism that the president would face for this trip. Even before he left, the president himself wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post defending his decision to visit Saudi. And really, the reason this trip has caused such a fuss is that when Biden was running for office, he had condemned the kingdom as a pariah.
CHANG: Right.
KHALID: And then, you know, fast-forward to today. Biden spent more than two hours sitting down face to face with the crown prince to talk about a range of issues, including things like energy security that, you know, were not so much of a concern during the campaign when oil prices were lower. But I will say, despite the strategic reasons for this meeting, there are, as you mentioned, plenty of folks back home who questioned the president's decision. The publisher of The Washington Post, where Khashoggi worked, called the fist bump shameful. And then one of Biden's fellow Democrats, Congressman Adam Schiff, said the fist bump was a, quote, "visual reminder of the continuing grip that oil-rich autocrats have on U.S. foreign policy."
CHANG: So how did Biden respond to that criticism?
KHALID: Well, the White House suddenly arranged for the president to deliver remarks. Those of us who were journalists traveling with the president had a rather long day. So this was at 10:30 at night here in Jeddah. And Biden said he raised the killing of Khashoggi at the outset of his meeting with the prince.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I made my view crystal clear. I said very straightforwardly, for an American president to be silent on an issue of human rights, is this consistent with - inconsistent with who we are and who I am?
KHALID: I will say, though, Ailsa, you know, the president sort of laughed off criticism that he had given the prince a fist bump.
CHANG: Wow. Well, beyond raising Khashoggi's killing, I mean, how did Biden explain why it was so important to have this meeting with the royal family at this time?
KHALID: He said what he's focused on is trying to make sure that Russia and China do not gain influence in the region. And he said there were important security issues to discuss, including, you know, the matter of oil, which - it is worth pointing out that the president explicitly said he is doing all he can to increase supply for the United States and suggested Americans could expect to see a boost in oil production in the coming weeks that could help lower gas prices.
You know, specifically when it comes to the Saudis, there were a list of agreements. He said the Saudis would extend a ceasefire in Yemen. They agreed to work together on infrastructure projects around the world. And there were also some measures to start to normalize relations with Israel, starting with the decision to open its airspace to Israeli flights.
CHANG: And real quick, Asma, I understand you started your day in the West Bank, where the president had another fairly sensitive meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. How did Biden - or what did Biden accomplish in those talks, do you think?
KHALID: You know, as we crossed into the West Bank, Biden himself saw signs that there were along the route of the motorcade that said, Mr. President, this is apartheid. And he acknowledged in his remarks the grief, he said, that is felt by Palestinians. But he also just nodded to the political realities of the moment, saying that the situation is not ripe to restart negotiations. You know, he's focused on this trip on some of the broader issues at play in the region, and he's expecting to expand on some of that tomorrow when he meets with a range of nine leaders from throughout the Middle East.
CHANG: That is NPR's Asma Khalid. Thank you so much, Asma.
KHALID: My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

NHAI to seek nod from traffic police before expanding Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway underpass work road-and-transport-news
GURUGRAM: National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) will have to keep the district traffic police in loop before expanding the construction work of three underpasses on Delhi-Gurgaon expressway and a flyover on old Delhi-Gurgaon Road. In fact, improvements have been suggested in the NHAI's construction plan so there is least congestion on roads and commuters do not face any discomfort.
A meeting was held between senior police officers, road safety officers (RSO) and NHAI officials earlier this week. Following which a joint inspection was conducted by traffic cops, RSOs and NHAI on Friday. Sources told TOI that the team found over two dozen flaws in the NHAI's three-phase construction plan for the building underpasses at Rajiv Chowk, Signature Tower and IFFCO Chowk, while, a flyover will be constructed on Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road.
These flaws were identified on the basis of the snarls they could cause, or even didn't offer a carriageway for the vehicles to cross while the construction work was on. Timesofindia


I'm writhing this article, not to scare anyone but to warn pilot of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. In my flying career I have heard many claims, including the fact that carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless ant tasteless. However, I figured that if it comes out of the exhaust, I'm pretty sure I'll smell it. Well then, let me tell you about my experience and what a wakeup call it was!
I was asked to test fly an aircraft after a total rebuild and engine transplant. The aircraft was a Vixen Boriann. A two seater, LSA aircraft manufactured of tube and fabric and fitted with a Rotax 582 engine - very similar to the Kitfox or Bushbaby. I did my usual inspection as I do on any test flight.
I found a few minor things that I had asked the owner to change/repair. One of these were 4 or 5 small holes in the firewall, which were there as a result of the engine transplant. Obviously, one can expect that there'd be a few differences in the installation of the new engine, perhaps wiring or fuel lines in slightly different places. In this case, there were a number of new holes made and some old ones left open. I asked for these to be closed up, as I'd always heard of this deadly poison possibly seeping into the cockpit through a hole in the firewall. The mistake I made was not checking that this was done properly. On this engine installation, as in all Rotax engine installations, the exhaust system has knuckle joints. It's a type of joint where two parts of the exhaust fit into each other and held firmly in place by three springs under tension. This system is to avoid cracking in the exhaust system due to vibration and as far as I'm concerned, works very well. Only problem is, there is a very small possibility that a small amount of exhaust gas (Carbon monoxide) could leak at these joints. Not really a problem, provided that this gas doesn't get into the cockpit. Once the gas exits from the engine cowl, it dilutes into the atmosphere just like any other car or aircraft exhaust. But I forgot about those few small holes in the firewall.
During the test phase, I did several high speed taxi runs where I applied full power and accelerated up to takeoff speed, reduced power and came to a full stop before the end of the runway. I did this to determine the takeoff point of the particular aircraft and whether I'd be able to land back on the runway in the event of some problem. In this case, the aircraft attained flying speed in a very short distance - less than 25% of the runway.
After completing about 10 to 15 high speed taxies, holding the nose wheel off the ground but reducing power so that the main wheels remained on the ground, I was ready for the first hop. I took full power, reached rotation speed, gently lifted the nose and got off the ground; then immediately reduced power to maintain about half to one meter above the runway. At the halfway mark, I closed the power, set the Vixen down and came to a stop well before the end of the runway. I repeated this about 10 times, each time stretching the airborne distance a little further. With each hop, I also tested movement and effectivity of controls to ensure a proper level of maneuverability during flight.
There were two small issues that needed attention; one was the brake pulling to one side and the other was that I couldn't trim to fly neutral. I stopped the testing and attended to these issues. Up to that point, I had clocked over an hour of testing and hadn't noticed anything untoward on the engine and exhaust system.
A day or two later, with perfect flying conditions, I resumed the testing. One or two high speed taxies, then a hop, landing again before reaching the end of the runway. A few hours later, I was satisfied that the brakes were working as I wanted. I could now also trim the aircraft straight and level, flying just above the runway. And she was reacting positively to any and all of my control inputs, I decided it was finally time to do the first flight. I had now clocked up another hour of hops and tests and had happily negated any ideas of possible carbon monoxide leakage in the cockpit.
I lined up on runway 26, made decisions as to which points on the runway I could still land, and at which point do I go for the field just northwest of the runway. Up until this point, I had no reason to believe that the engine would let me down but better safe than sorry. It's standard practice with me to be aware of all my options before takeoff on every flight. Happy with all my safety checks, I applied full power, accelerated very quickly to flying speed and I was airborne. I did my after takeoff checks and maintained runway heading, swiftly climbing at over 1000 ft/min - an ideal climb rate as it gave me more options in case of an engine failure.
I got to circuit altitude before even turning crosswind. At this point, I reduced power, turned out right and trimmed for straight and level flight. At FAKR, we operate under Lanseria TMA and are restricted to 800 ft. AGL, otherwise I would have climbed even more. I had now established a right hand circuit pattern at 800 ft. AGL. All the time monitoring temps and pressures, also giving control inputs and trying different flap settings. Everything seemed normal and the plane handled exactly as expected. I even slowed down to just above the stall speed and still maintained full control on all three axes.
I had probably been in the air for well over half an hour by now. I had completed at least 4 or 5 high altitude (800 ft. AGL) circuits before deciding that it was time for a touch and go. Set up on downwind, I did all my checks, then turned base followed by my base checks. Now final approach. Conditions were absolutely perfect. Hardly any wind, visibility perfect and only two other aircraft in the vicinity approaching the airfield. Final checks and touchdown - all smooth as could be. "Okay", I thought - apply power, check speed and rotate.
Now something strange happened�. The horizon went a little blurry and I couldn't quite make out the sound of the engine; but I could feel the thrust and I was still climbing. I don't remember reducing power or turning crosswind and downwind. But I do remember on downwind that if felt like I was out of breath. I remember putting my hand over the vent in the door and I clearly remember thinking, "why is there no air coming through the vent, even though it's open".
I continued the circuit and did another touch and go. All seemed okay until I lifted off again. This time I remember losing sight of the horizon completely after it first went blurry. Again, the engine went quiet but I kept climbing. By the time I got onto downwind, I was now very short of breath. I checked the vent again and then decided to open the door. The latch on this door is so simple. It's a lever about 5 cm long that you swivel 90 degrees and the door opens easily. I can't explain this but I couldn't figure out how to open the door. Maybe a good thing as I don't know what would have happened, had I got it open.
I now decided that it was time for a full stop landing. I have no Idea what happened to the other two aircraft but when I spoke to them afterwards, they told me that they had joined the circuit with me. They didn't notice anything strange and that I had communicated with them on the radio - even though I had no recollection of making radio contact with anyone. I had now turned base and finals. Although I knew that something was wrong, I had no idea what it was. I had now lined up on short finals and was concentrating hard to maintain control. Here comes the scary part�. I must have done over 1000 landings on this runway before and I had done two in the past half an hour. But what my hallucinating eyes were seeing, was a bizarrely placed fence across the runway! It looked so real and so high that I almost performed a go around to avoid it! In fact, so real was this imaginary fence to me, that I did apply power to get over it, but then managed to land deep on the runway - thankfully, without any problem. I also remember managing to get the door open, the second that the wheels were on the ground. It was a relief as I was able to breath freely. But I had developed an instant headache. This was also something strange as I never get headaches. I remember taxing up to the hangar and when I got out of the aircraft, I asked about the idiot who put up the fence. I got some very strange looks but no replies. I don't remember putting the aircraft away but I must have done that as it was safe in the hangar when I got there the next morning.
I know that I spent some time with the regular guys at the airfield afterwards but don't remember much of what we spoke about. Other than the headache, I felt just fine. Once I got home, I went to bed and fell asleep. I woke up very early the next morning feeling very nauseous. Ran to the bathroom and vomited. Once this was over, I felt better again. I had a shower, got dressed and went off to the airfield like every other morning. Once I got there I started feeling flu-like symptoms. I called the doctor, made an appointment and, to my utter astonishment, was diagnosed with CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING! That was not the end of it - I spent a miserable week in bed with the worst muscle pains ever - something akin to tick bite fever, even hemorrhaging through the skin on my legs, which were unbearably painful to the gentlest touch. It was during this recovery period that the full impact of the very real and present danger of succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning dawned on me! Definitely not something that can be taken for granted but is often ignored in the most thorough of pre-flight checks.
Once I had recovered, I went back it inspect the aircraft. I then found the holes in the firewall that had not been repaired. Also found evidence of a leak at one of the knuckle joints on the exhaust system. We closed up all the holes and repaired the exhaust. I then purchased a carbon monoxide detector and flew the aircraft for several hours afterwards without any trace or problem.
And this is only my personal opinion gained from doing some research and trying to remember everything that happened.
#	During my first inspection of the aircraft, I found things that needed to be corrected. I should have checked these again and again to be 100% sure that what I wanted done was done. You can never be too cautious. As a test pilot or just Pilot in command of any aircraft, you have the right to check and question anything and everything.
#	The reason for the carbon monoxide not affecting me during the initial phase of high speed taxies is probably that there wasn't enough of an accumulation of the gas, or the pressure in the engine compartment hadn't built up sufficiently to force the gas through the holes in the firewall. Remember, I had never exceeded rotation speed at that point. The higher the speed, the higher the pressure.
#	The shortage of breath, I haven't been able to explain. Other than the natural instinct of the human body to acquire oxygen.
#	The air not coming in through the open air vent. One of two things could have caused this. Either the pressure of the air/gas mixture being forced through the holes in the firewall was equalizing the pressure from outside the air vent or my directional control of the aircraft was that bad that flying with the ball out could have neutralized the pressure on the outside of the vent. However, when I flew the aircraft the next time after doing the necessary repairs, the vent worked perfectly.
#	The horizon going blurry, the engine going quiet, the door latch that didn't work. Either I was semi-consciousness or I was hallucinating.
#	The fence across the runway. This one puzzled me for a long time. The only explanation I can come up with is this. There is in fact a fence about 100 meters short of the runway threshold. But due to a very high embankment on which the runway is built, the top of this fence is at least 3 meters below the level of the runway. I asked several spectators about the fact that I had to climb to clear the fence on short final but no one could shed any light. Most of them said that it was a lower than normal approach. I can only put it down to hallucination.
Part of my safety pre-flight routine now includes ensuring that my carbon monoxide detector is in the cockpit, especially on any test flights. My strongest recommendation to ALL pilots is GET ONE and use it, irrespective of how well you know your aircraft and how often you've flown it. It's a small price to pay for averting potential disaster. Happy landings and fly safely!

Ohio State-Boston College delayed until 2023-2024?
Per a leaked B1G document, Ohio State's 2020-2021 series with Boston College has been delayed two years.
By Luke Zimmermann Oct 17, 2013, 11:20am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Ohio State-Boston College delayed until 2023-2024?
Bob DeChiara-US PRESSWIRE
According to a leaked Big Ten scheduling document (which the league promptly took down after they became aware it was end user facing but was later preserved by Penn State student paper, The Daily Collegian), Ohio State's schedule 2020/2021 home-and-home with Boston College has been delayed two years.
Ohio State had been scheduled to play host to the Eagles September 19th, 2020, and then make the return trip the following year, September 18th, 2021, to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Now, per the document, the Buckeyes will host BC September 2nd, 2023 and visit the Boston Metro Area August 31st, 2024 instead.
Some of the big take aways from the leaked schedule document includes UCLA and Michigan agreeing to a home-and-home in the early 2020's, a potential Florida/Michigan neutral site game, as well as a possible Penn State/LSU neutral field contest. It also appears as though future scheduled Maryland/Notre dame games have been canceled.

Getting an interview with the company of your dreams might feel like winning the Stanley Cup, but meeting the company's expectations in an interview is an entirely different animal. While some resumes may be more impressive than others, they don't necessarily mean the owner matches the promise on the document.
These eight hiring directors at local tech companies told us what they're really looking for in an interviewee.
Irvine-based Cie Digital Labs is part interactive digital lab and part startup studio. The startup's teams work with well-established brands to help develop new ideas and turn them into successful ventures.
Hiring Manager: Alvin Fong, COO.
Key intangibles: Grit, passion, drive, team fit, creativity.
It's been a huge year for fan subscription service Loot Crate. In June, the company brought in $18.5 million in funding, and the LA-based startup hasn't stopped accelerating since.
Hiring Manager: Michael Charleston, Recruiting Manager.
Key intangibles: Passion, comfort with ambiguity, open-mindedness.
What Michael looks for: "It could be passion in a fandom, your job or the business, but we just want to see you have the right drive. We also look for people comfortable with ambiguity, individuals who are creative, proactive and display ingenuity in a highly fluid environment with changing priorities.
Burner is an app which allows users access to temporary, disposable phone numbers for the purposes of SMS and phone messages.
Hiring Manager: Greg Cohn, co-founder and CEO.
Key intangibles: Entrepreneurial spirit, prioritization, flexibility.
What Greg looks for: It's so trendy to use the word 'entrepreneurial' these days — it's on the top of every vanilla resume and is almost a throwaway word in corporate job descriptions — but to me, being entrepreneurial means more than being clever or starting a company.
To be a real entrepreneur is to see opportunities, even if they aren't obvious. It means juggling priorities and making good decisions in real time about where to spend energy, to have the sense to know when to reboot or ask for help on a project, versus when it's time to dig hard and grind it out.
An entrepreneur in today's technical and information-driven environment can synthesize a lot of different kinds of input and draw creatively from a wide set of experiences and tools to get things done. The risk-taking piece needs to be there too, but for me, this shows up as a willingness to make unorthodox choices or fight through adverse situations."
Santa Monica-based HomeHero is taking the home care industry by storm. Earlier this year, the startup took part in Techstars' first ever Healthcare Accelerator.
Hiring Manager: Mike Townsend, co-founder and COO.
Key intangibles: Hunger, drive, resilience.
What Mike looks for: "The whole point of having live interviews is to see the person's intangibles firsthand. They're things which cannot be communicated over a resume or portfolio. We generally look for a number of things when hiring people.
The first one is what I like to call 'hunger.' Not in the literal sense, but the kind of intellectual and professional hunger which makes someone eager to do everything they can to become a master of their craft. Do they understand the dynamics of our industry? Do they keep up with the latest tools and trends for their occupation? It's the motivation and initiative which can make the difference between a good candidate and an amazing candidate.
Second, adaptability is huge, especially in a growth sector like home care. When you go to work at a massive corporation, you can rely on entrenched systems which have been around for years, sometimes decades. This is not the case in our sector. We need job applicants who are able to gracefully adapt to changes as they happen.
Third, and probably the most important, is someone who understands how to come back from failure. I can't stress how important this intangible is. As a growing business, you're going to have to take chances and be willing to accept failures as an opportunity to learn and grow. When have you failed in the past, and how did it make you a better you? If my co-founder and I hadn't kept going after our previous business didn't work out, we wouldn't be where we are today."
Levee, an app which helps freelancers and contractors manage their expenses and understand what tax loopholes they qualify for, is about as early stage as a startup gets. Having just launched in September, it's critical for every new hire to fit exactly what the company is looking for.
Hiring Manager: Argel Sabillo, co-founder and CEO.
Key intangibles: Mission-driven, versatility, resourcefulness.
What Argel looks for: "We learned early on that finances and taxes are not the sexiest space to be in a startup. At Levee, we look for people who share our vision in creating a world where freelancers have actual financial freedom. When you believe in a startup, it's not a job anymore; it's a mission.
We're constantly testing different approaches to identify market fits, and ways to improve our product. Often times we work independently because we're learning as we go. Being resourceful is a trait which is very attractive to many early stage startups. When you have a lean budget, you have to get scrappy and creative with your strategy. We look for smart people who can wear different hats to fill in gaps in our startup, someone who can pick up projects, research and execute."
OWNZONES Media Network is a digital company which provides content and distribution services from their headquarters in Beverly Hills.
Key intangibles: Innovation, team-first attitude, communication skills, the ability to multitask, the ability to work under pressure.
"We look for innovative team players, with excellent communication skills, who can manage multiple projects in a high-pressure environment. The reason we look for this particular combination of skills is because we're a fast-paced startup: the only way we can be successful is if we can harness the power of the entire team. To do this, we need team members we can trust; those who can work together to solve problems under the most stressful of circumstances. It's also super important to keep the lines of communication and collaboration open. Knowledge hoarding will kill you faster than a bullet in this environment.
Often times, I like to run candidates through some scenarios. I have been through quite a few of these in my career and they are a great way to separate truly amazing people from the crowd.
One example was from an interview I had a few years back. In this scenario, I was given a warehouse full of unopened ping pong balls from a long lost great uncle's will. I could do whatever I wished with the ping pong balls, but the warehouse was leased and came with some back rent as a result of storing the balls. The interviewers told me I had 15 minutes to come up with a plan for what I was going to do with the balls and how I was going to cover the back rent. No other guidance was given but I had to present my plan to the sales team in the main conference room.
I won't share my master plan at this time; I'd prefer to leave it for you to ponder. Let's just say it was one of the toughest interviews I had ever had, but I actually did get the job."
Vertical Mass is an innovative big data startup based in Culver City which helps its clients collect and store data their fans thoughts and behaviors in one place so they can be easily accessed and analyzed.
Hiring Manager: Mark Shedletsky, CEO and founder.
Key intangibles: Initiative, initiative, initiative, desire to learn.
What Mark looks for: "The number one quality we look for in our hires, from engineering to product, from business development to sales, is initiative. For an early stage startup, the existence of the company rests on its ability to execute. Regardless of team size, but especially at an early stage, every single member is a key contributor. We look for patterns and specific demonstration from the candidate that indicates a strong desire to learn, try new things and most importantly, takes initiative to identify problems and create solutions."
Wrapal is the developer of a platform that brings together filmmakers and those looking to make a little cash on the side.
Key intangibles: A clear communicator, enthusiasm, initiative, loyalty.
What Ryan looks for: "I look for enthusiastic individuals because I believe if you're not in it to win it, there's no point hiring you. An ideal hire is someone who is passionate about what they do and wants to help change the world positively. They're not just there for rent money. Passion doesn't always translate in the same way for everybody. The overly bubbly person may be faking it while the quiet serious type may truly believe in the team's mission. This is why interview skills are important.
99 percent of all problems result from miscommunications. If someone can communicate efficiently, effectively and expediently, I know the possibility of problems isn't as likely.
Wrapal is a small startup and everyone wears many hats. We're looking for someone who is comfortable with multitasking and can spearhead their own projects without prodding."

Pyne Gould posts first-half loss on foreign exchange, EPIC charges
Monday 3rd March 2014
Pyne Gould Corp., the asset management firm which recently relocated to Guernsey, reported a first-half loss on foreign exchange charges and its share of a loss posted by Equity Partners Infrastructure Co No. 1, though expects to post an annual profit.
The Guernsey-based firm had a loss of $6.63 million in the six months ended Dec. 31, compared to a profit of $1.49 million a year earlier, with a $2.61 million foreign exchange charge and accounting losses of $2.28 million from EPIC, which holds a 17.5 percent share of British motorway operator MOTO and manages the Torchlight partnership.
The Torchlight business, which has targeted distressed assets, made a cash profit of $2.19 million in the half, up from $1.65 million.
"PGC continued to execute its stated strategy of divesting non-core assets and focusing on growing its Torchlight business," managing director George Kerry said in a statement.
The company has been selling its New Zealand assets, which it expects to complete this year, to focus on its UK and Australian investments, which dominate the firm's investment portfolio, ahead of a listing on the London Stock Exchange.
At its December annual meeting, chairman Bryan Mogridge told shareholders the company is seeking to deliver compound growth north of 15 percent over the medium to long term, meaning it will deliver "lumpy results" and has a policy of not providing market guidance.
The shares fell 5.5 percent to 43 cents on Friday, and have dropped 10 percent this year.

Q: How to structure FOR loop to simplify nested tuple In a Python script I'm writing, I have a function that can only output its results in a nested tuple, like so:
(('foo',), ('bar',), ('baz',), ('spam',), ('eggs',))

I need to structure a FOR loop so that I can use the tuple (as a tuple for immutability, not individual strings) like so:
('foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'spam', 'eggs')

I'm new to coding (let alone Python), and I've never had a special proclivity for loops anyway, but I'm pretty sure that I'll need to use enumerate() to pull out the 0th entries from each nested tuple, and put those in a new(?) tuple. This is the code I have...
for count,item in enumerate(tuple):
    s = item[0]
    item = tuple[count]

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated!

A: In Python, you can write:
a, b = ('some', 'tuple')

to get the individual values out of a tuple. You can do the same thing in a for loop. In your case, each tuple only has one value, so you just need one variable on the left-hand side. (Note the comma!)
stuff = (('foo',), ('bar',), ('baz',), ('spam',), ('eggs',))

for item, in stuff:
    print(item)

# Output:
# foo
# bar
# baz
# spam
# eggs

EDIT
Per the comments, putting the items into a tuple instead:
values = tuple(item for item, in stuff)
print(values)

# Output:
# ('foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'spam', 'eggs')

A: You can construct a tuple from any iterable, like this:
tuples = (('foo',), ('bar',), ('baz',), ('spam',), ('eggs',))
values = tuple(t[0] for t in tuples)
print(values)
# -> ('foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'spam', 'eggs')

A tuple in Python is non-mutable.
If you need a mutable collection, use a list.
To do that, you can use a comprehension list:
values = [t[0] for t in tuples]
print(values)
# -> ['foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'spam', 'eggs']

A traditional economic system is a system that functions through traditional agricultural practices and stays rooted to customary policies. Traditional economic systems are based on fishing, hunting, and agriculture and will often use the practice of bartering instead of using money. A traditional economy is usually seen in nomadic societies, where a society will live in large groups and live off the land. The hunter/gatherers in these economies can become farmers but do not have enough resources since technology is not used as much, if at all.
This results in groups requiring fewer resources to provide for their families/tribes and groups being more self-sufficient. There may be competition among neighboring groups for limited resources and economies primarily focus on one's own family or tribe. In traditional economies, economic decisions are made to follow long practiced customs and traditions.
Nowdays, the use of cash is important to traditional economies because it enables traditional economy members to purchase more efficient farming and hunting equipment from market economies. Even though traditional economies exist outside of western economies, interaction with market or command economies is needed to maintain production.
In traditional economies, the roles and practices that exist within the economy are well known and understood by members of the group. This means that all members within the group understand the production process and what their role is in production. Traditional economies are much less environmentally destructive compared to market economies because they do not rely as much on technology and they use traditional practices.
A disadvantage of traditional economies is that production relies heavily on the environment, making them dependent on nature and weather, which can be unpredictable. The dependence on nature and weather results in limited economic growth for traditional economies, demonstrating why they are less efficient than an economy who uses modern practices.


It looks like the 38 years old multi award winning actor, Majid Michel is slowly losing interest in the movie production. Inauspiciously the star movie actor has taken it upon himself to do the will of God as directed to him, and he does it wholeheartedly.
According to Ghana's Sexiest yet Ugly actor Anthony Toni Wale the absence of the famous movie actor has left a wide gap in the movie industry, and that has become his ultimate aim, which is to seal the gap.
In a new video the actor and director adversely promised to bring out his full potentials to help build the Ghanaian industry and restore its good name.

COMMON LAND OWNERS. IMPLIED, NOT DEFINITIVE.
- THERE ARE NO CONCLUSIVE/DEFINITIVE OWNERS/GRANTORS REGISTERED ON THE COMMON OWNERS REGISTER, IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE REGISTERS HELD AT SURREY REGISTRATION AUTHORITIES ARE INCOMPLETE/INCORRECT.
FRENSHAM COMMON CL87 IS REGISTERED FOR GRAZING, EASTOVERS AND FOR HORTICULTURAL RIGHTS.
THERE ARE PRIVATE RIGHTS OF WAY REGISTERED ALSO.
THE MAIN BENIFACTOR TO THE RIGHTS IS MRS TUSSLER CL1026; THERE IS NO DECLARATION TO ABANDONMENT OR EXTINGUISHMENT OF HER REGISTERED RIGHTS.
THESE RIGHTS ARE GRAZING, RIGHTS IN THE SOIL AND EASTOVERS.
ALSO MRS WYLIE CL 1046 HAS RIGHTS OF EASTOVERS; THERE IS NO DECLARATION OF ABANDONMENT OR EXTINGUISHMENT OF HER REGISTERED RIGHTS.
MRS TUSSLER CL 1026, HAS SOLE RIGHTS TO PISCARY AND RIGHTS IN THE SOIL ON CL 232(GREAT POND) AND PISCARY ON CL 430 (LITTLE POND), THESE TWO REGISTRATIONS BECAME FINAL ON 16/10/81(GREAT POND) AND 14/12/1983, LITTLE POND.
THE TAKING OF FISH IS FOR OWN DOMESTIC USE BY TUSSLER.
THE 2005/6 COMMONS ACT STATES THAT A COMMONER MAY NOT, LET, LEASE, SELL OR EXTINGUISH THE RIGHTS AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY, SO REGISTERED, THEREFORE ANY STATEMENT INDICATING COMMONERS HAVE AGREED TO OTHER USES/USERS, CARRIES NO WEIGHT.
THIS IS LAND, FILED UNDER SY631105 AS LAND LYING EAST AND SOUTH EAST OF FRENSHAM.
IT STATES THAT ON 25/1/93 HAS BENEFITS OF RIGHTS GRANTED BY A DEED (NOT SEEN) FOR RIGHTS OF WAY, ON WHAT? FRENSHAM COMMON OR PONDS NOT MENTIONED.
PROPRIETORS, THE NATIONAL TRUST, ON THE SAME DAY/DATE, RESTRICTIONS WERE PLACED BY? (NO IDENTITY).
TITLE No SY688111, IS A LAND REGISTRATION OF TITLE, AGAIN OBTAINED BY LORRAIN PARSONS FROM LAND REGISTRY IN DURHAM.
SY688111 SHOWS A LEASE OF LEASEHOLD LAND, OBTAINED 17/8/99, BEING LAND LYING TO THE EAST AND SOUTH WEST TO FRENSHAM, BUT NOT NAMED AS FRENSHAM COMMON CL87.
THE VENDOR, WHO CANNOT BE TRACED, ALLEGEDLY ENTERED INTO A CONVEYANCE IN 1954, BUT OF WHAT?
THE PURCHASER, WITH NO TITLE DEEDS OR CONVEYANCE DOCUMENT TO SHOW GOOD TITLE, SEEMS, BUT NOT MENTIONED, HAD A LEASE AGREEMENT REGISTRATION CREATED AND FILED UNDER SY 625308, FOR A PEPPERCORN RENT, 14/12/ 98 FOR A PERIOD OF 73 YEARS TO (1) THE NATIONAL TRUST, AND (2)WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL.
FURTHER, IT IS STATED THAT THE "LANDLORDS" TITLE IS REGISTERED, IN WHAT AND WHO IS THE LEGAL LAND OWNER?
THERE IS STILL NO MENTION OF FRENSHAM COMMON, OR THE TWO PONDS, BUT THE REGISTER CLAIMS THE PROPRIETORSHIP REST WITH WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL,"TITLE ABSOLUTE".
NO TITLE DEEDS TO PRE-DATE 1189 OR EVEN CONVEYANCE, EPITOME OR AN INDENTURE DOCUMENT CAN BE DISCLOSED.
THERE ARE MANY SY's FILED ON BOTH LAND REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS, WHICH CAN BE TREATED AS BOGUS, PRODUCTION OF PRE-REGISTRATION OF TITLES AND CONVEYANCE DOCUMENTS WAS NOT POSSIBLE.
THERE ARE NO CONCLUSIVE/DEFINITIVE OWNERS/GRANTORS REGISTERED ON THE COMMON OWNERS REGISTER, IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE REGISTERS HELD AT SURREY REGISTRATION AUTHORITIES ARE INCOMPLETE/INCORRECT.
PROOF OF OWNERSHIP IE LORD OF THE MANOR OR OTHER OWNER-S MUST DISCLOSE DOCUMENTATION.TITLE DEEDS THAT PRE-DATE 1189, TIME EMMIMORIAL.
EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS STILL A REQUIREMENT WAS INVESTIGATED BY GADSDEN AND MORE RECENTLY BY PAUL STAFFORD, MEMBER OF THE CHANCERY BAR.
IN HIS WRITINGS HE REFERS TO "GOING BEYOND QUIA EMPTORIES" 1290.
PAUL STAFFORD GOES ON TO SAY; THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, HELD IN 1585, THAT "A MANOR CANNOT BE CREATED AT THIS DAY NEITHER BY A COMMON PERSON OR THE QUEEN" THIS MEANS NO NEW MANORS WERE CREATED AFTER 1290.
THE SAME ACT WAS CALLED UPON IN LEWIS J's CASE IN 2008, IRBY FELL.
THAT BEING SO HOW DID A CONVEYANCE OF FRENSHAM COMMON LAND (MANORIAL WASTE) COME TO BE SOLD, OR MADE SUBJECT TO DEEDS OF GRANT?
THIS THEN NEGATES ANY CLAIM THAT IS HELD BY THE LAND REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS SHOWING "LEASES AND OWNERSHIP" BY THE NATIONAL TRUST AND WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL IN REGARD TO FRENSHAM COMMON CL87 AND PONDS CL232 AND CL 430,AS NONE CAN DISCLOSE EVIDENCE TO LEGAL OCCUPATION/LOCUS STAN-DI.
THAT BEING THE CASE, THE MATTERS OF CLAIMS TO PINS FOR CONSENT TO CARRYOUT WORKS ON FRENSHAM COMMON CL87 WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE NATIONAL TRUST AND THE LEASING OF COMMONERS RIGHTS TO PISCARY ON PONDS CL232 AND CL430 NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, TOGETHER WITH IMPEDIMENTS TO ACCESS FROM ALL POINTS OF VIEW.
THERE IS ALSO THE LEASING OF THE GREAT POND CL232 TO FRENSHAM SAILING AND YATCH CLUB, WHICH UNDER THE 2000 CROW IS PROHIBITED,SAILING/BOATING AND SWIMMING IN/ON NON TIDAL WATERS IS AN OFFENCE.
HOWEVER, WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL HAS ISSUED LICENCES TO FARNHAM ANGLING SOCIETY.
OBVIOUSLY TRUSTING THE AUTHORITY, RICHARD CANE, THE MAIN VOICE OF THE ANGLING SOCIETY, PAID OR AUTHORISED PAYMENT OF £7,000 PLUS VAT FOR RIGHTS TO FISH ON CL 430 AND £150 PLUS VAT FOR FISHING RIGHTS ON CL232, TO WAVERLY BOROUGH COUNCIL.
RICHARD IS AN HONEST MAN, AND IN HIS WORDS WOULD NOT BE TEMPTED TO DISHONESTY.
HE UNDERSTOOD THOUGH THAT TO FISH LAWFULLY IN BOTH PONDS HE WOULD NEED TO REGISTER WITH THE COUNCIL AND TO OBTAIN A LEASE AGREEMENT.
ALTHOUGH A LEASE WAS OBTAINED, IT DID NOT MAKE FISHING IN THE PONDS LEGAL, EVEN THOUGH THE MEMBERS HELD ROD LICENSES, THERE IS NO ONE TO GIVE CONSENT.
RICHARD HAD EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ONE OF THE SOCIETY MEMBERS CLAIMED TO OWN THE LITTLE POND AND HAD DECIDED TO END HIS INTEREST IN THE SPORT.
THE ANGLING SOCIETY OFFERED TO PURCHASE THE POND FROM HIM, HE REFUSED AND HE CLAIMED HE HAD GIVEN THE POND TO THE NATIONAL TRUST (REASON, NO TITLE DEEDS).
THE NATIONAL TRUST HOWEVER DENY ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THE PONDS AND ONLY CLAIM LOCUS STAN-DI, ON CL87 FRENSHAM COMMON.
THEY CAN ONLY CLAIM AN INTEREST IN THE ANCIENT MONUMENTS, THE COMMON LAND WAS REGISTERED AS A SECTION 9 FOR THE 1965 CRA AND VESTED IN THE PROTECTION OF THE REGISTERING AUTHORITIES, BUT THE ACT/SECTION GIVES NO JURISDICTION.
AS THE PISCARY IS REGISTERED TO A COMMONER ON BOTH PONDS, THIS IN ITS SELF SHOWS WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCILS MALADMINISTRATION, AS COPIES OF REGISTERED COMMONERS RIGHTS WERE/ARE IN EXISISTANCE AND OBTAINABLE AT SURREY CC.
HELEN GILBERT, IF CONTACTED BY JANE BOWDEN, WOULD/SHOULD CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NO COMMON OWNERS REGISTER.
THE APPLICATION FOR CONSENT FOR WORKS WAS SUBMITTED BY JANE BOWDEN AT WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL, THE FIRST APPLICATION WAS NOT SIGNED, PINS STATE THAT IT WAS SIGNED LATER, I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS RE-SUBMITTED DOCUMENT.
THE NATIONAL TRUST OR ENGLISH HERITAGE OR ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC COULD HAVE MADE A LAWFUL APPLICATION TO PINS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, TO ENCLOSE THE BARROWS, SO WHY DID WAVERLEY COUNCIL HAVE TO STOOP TO FALSE REPRESENTATION?
THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT THROUGH THE APPLICATION, THE CONSENT GIVEN (ALTHOUOGH PROVISIONAL) COULD BE USED TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC AND HAS, BEEN USED TO MISLEAD.
THE APPLICATION TO ERECT ENCLOSURE AROUND THE "BARROWS", COULD, HAVE PRESUADED MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OTHER ACTIONS BY THE COUNCIL WERE ALSO WITH THE CONSENT OF THE PLANNING INSPECTORATE AS CONCLUSIVE OF MATTERS SO REGISTERED.
THE CONSENT HOWEVER IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY A SUPPLEMENTARY, WHICH STATES THAT PROVIDING THE WORKS ARE NOT IN BREACH OF ANY ENACTMENT OR BYE-LAW THEY WILL BE LAWFUL.
ALTHOUGH STATED TO BE FACT, THE COMMON LAND, BY ITS 1965 REGISTRATION ACT, IS NOT SUBJECT TO REGULATION, SO THERE ARE NO BYE-LAWS, THE PROTECTION OF THE ANCIENT MONUMENTS, IF REGISTERED, IN THE PROTECTION OF? BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE, WOULD HAVE LOCUS STAN-DI (STAND UP IN COURT) AFFORDED TO THE APPLICANT-S.
THIS IS THE SAME AS COMMONERS REPORTING UNLAWFUL ACTS, ON THE COMMON TO THE REGISTERING AUTHORITIES, THESE ARE THEN PERSUED THROUGH THE COUNTY COURTS.
THE PUBLICS INTEREST IN THE COMMON IS THROUGH THE COUNCIL, BUT, WHERE THE COUNCIL ARE THE OFFENDERS, THE PUBLIC HAVE A RELATORY ACTION IN THE HIGH COURT (GADSDEN).
THE LEASES, OR ALLEGED LEASES BY THE NATIONAL TRUST TO FRENSHAM COMMON, MADE TO WAVERLEY BOROUGH COUNCIL, ARE UNLAWFUL.
IF, THE NO HORSE RIDING DISC'S WERE LAWFUL, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN POSITIONED LEGALLY AND WOULD STILL BE IN SITU, AS IT IS, THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED THROUGH LEGAL DEMANDS.
THE COUNCIL ARE ALSO OBLIGATED TO RETURN THE COMMON LAND BACK TO THE STATE IN WHICH WAS BEFORE THE PLACING OF SIGNAGE AND OTHER CONSTRUCTIONS.
THE ANGLERS, IF THEY CONTINUE TO ACCESS THE PONDS, THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW, AS IT IS PROVIDED IN THE LEGISLATION THEY ARE TRESSPASERS.
RICHARD CANE DID SAY THAT THE SOCIETY IS PREPARED TO WAIT UPTO SIX MONTHS FOR THE COUNCIL TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, OR ACTION THROUGH CIVIL PROCEDURE WILL FOLLOW.
THE YATCH AND SAILING CLUB HAVE ALSO STATED THAT A LEASE HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM WAVERLEY COUNCIL, AS OF YET NO INDICATION OF FEES PAID HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING, BUT THEY TO ARE PROHIBITED UNDER LEGISLATION, FROM USING THE WATERS.
THE FALSE REPRESENTATION/APPLICATION BY THE COUNCIL TO PINS DID NOT INCLUDE CONSTRUCTION OF CAR PARKING FACILITIES, CHARGES FOR THE USE, AND ERRECTING ENCLOSURE AROUND THE POND, SITING NOTICE BOARDS, ECAVATING THE GREAT POND.
THE MATTERS NOW ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE LGO AT MY REQUEST, NOT AT ANYTIME DID RICHARD CANE ASK ME TO CARRYOUT WORKS FOR THE SOCIETY.
I CONTACTED THE POLICE, COUNCIL AND THE LGO AS OF RIGHT, ALL THE INFORMATION PASSED TO ME WAS GIVEN TO THE AFORE MENTIONED, I ACTED AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IN THESE MATTERS.
GUIDENCE FROM ME TO HIM ON THE LEGISLATION WAS ACCEPTED AS WAS INFORMATION ON THE PONDS BY RICHARD WAS ACCEPTED BY ME, WHAT HE DOES, IS UP TO HIM.
AS BOTH PONDS ARE REGISTERED AS COMMON LAND, THEY AND THE SAILING AND YATCH CLUB ARE TRESPASSERS, AND MY REMIT IS TO KEEP PUBLIC AMENITIES AVAILABLE FREE FROM ANY IMPEDIMENTS.
THE PONDS ARE CONSERVATION AREAS, WE AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE ENTITLED TO PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT OF SUCH PLACES, FOR AIR, EXERCISE AND RECREATION.
THE COUNCIL "RANGER" ON FRENSHAM COMMON HAS NO AUTHORITY.
THE STATEMENT FROM THE "ENFORCEMENT OFFICER" AT SURREY CC TO DANIEL BAINBRIDGE, IS A FEEBLE ATTEMPT AT KEEP HIS JOB.

Q: Index out of bounds (MATLAB) Iam trying to get the value for p(4) (sorry for this)
The equation is looking like this:
4800+p1+p2*z/1000+p3*e^(-p4*z/1000)
I keep getting this error:
Attempted to access p(4); index out of bounds because numel(p)=3.
Error in waves (line 32)
xy1 = 4800+5.6596+14.5820/1000*xs+257.4318*exp(-p(4)/1000);
How can i change the "bounds" in numel or is there any else i can do to fix this problem?
The code
z = [0.0; 500; 1000; 1500; 2000; 2500; 3000; 3500; 4000; 5000; 6000; 7000; 8000; 9000; 10000; 11000; 12000];
y = [5050 4980 4930 4890 4870 4865 4860 4860 4865 4875 4885 4905 4920 4935 4950 4970 4990]'-4800 ;
A = [ones(numel(z),1) z./1000 exp(-z./1000)];
p = A\y;
norm(p);
y = y+4800;

xs = 0:1:12000;
xy = 4800+5.6596+14.5820/1000*xs+257.4318*exp(-p(4)/1000);
subplot(2,2,4), plot(z,y,'o')
hold on
subplot(2,2,4), plot(xs,xy);
title('p4')

Edit:::::::
I had this first, where p4 had a start guess(value) (p4=1), i then put the p1,p2,p3 results in a new file to try to solve p4, thats the code above.
z = [0.0; 500; 1000; 1500; 2000; 2500; 3000; 3500; 4000; 5000; 6000; 7000; 8000; 9000; 10000; 11000; 12000];
y = [5050 4980 4930 4890 4870 4865 4860 4860 4865 4875 4885 4905 4920 4935 4950 4970 4990]'-4800 ;
A = [ones(numel(z),1) z./1000 exp(-z./1000)];
p = A\y;
norm(p);
y = y+4800;

xs = 0:1:12000;
xy = 4800+p(1)+p(2)/1000*xs+p(3)*exp(-xs/1000);
subplot(2,2,1), plot(z,y,'o')
hold on
subplot(2,2,1), plot(xs,xy);
title('p1,p2,p3')

A: Armed with the knowledge that you are trying to fit the model described here:
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/214797/soundwaves-under-the-water
i.e. f(z) = 4800 + p1 + p2*z/1000 + p3*exp(-z*p4/1000)
The problem is this it is a non linear equation, so you cannot simply use the MATLAB backslash operator.  You will need to do what the answer suggests and look into using lsqnonlin in optimzation toolbox or fit a custom equation in Curve Fitting Toolbox.
Personally, I am biased towards Curve Fitting Toolbox, and I would do the following with cftool:

Here we can see that the coefficient estimates are:
   p1 =      -20.21  (-29.34, -11.08)
   p2 =       17.34  (16.31, 18.36)
   p3 =       272.9  (263.3, 282.5)
   p4 =      0.7528  (0.6964, 0.8092)

Bear in mind that I have quite loose lower and upper bounds.  If you wanted to make sure that p1 was always positive, you could do that by setting the lower bound to zero.


The break below 1.1290 clearly shows a negative bias, for a dip to 1.1214 low. Initial intraday resistance is projected at 1.1300.
The pair broke through 110.20 hurdle and the outlook remains positive, for a rise towards 111.45 area. Initial support lies at 110.20.
The bias is bearish, for a break through 1.2800, towards 1.2700 area. Initial resistance lies at 1.2890.

On December 22, 1989, Chicago Fire Department Firefighter Kelvin Anderson of Engine 107, died in the line of duty when the roof collapsed on him during a fire at the Rose of Sharon Church on W. Warren Boulevard. Anderson's colleagues reported that he was crawling through the church searching for victims when the roof collapsed around 7 p.m. Search and rescue teams labored for more than sixteen hours before Anderson's body, buried under debris in the church's basement, was recovered around 11 a.m. the next morning. An autopsy indicated that he had died from asphyxiation and severe burns. Anderson was given full department honors during his funeral, and a plaque in his memory was unveiled at Engine 107's firehouse in 2001.

Does a Dog's Number of Nipples Reflect the Amount of Babies?

How Many Puppies Do Bichon Frises Have?
Dogs bear their young in litters. The number of puppies in these litters varies considerably, numbering as few as one and as many as 10, sometimes more. Both males and females have eight to twelve undeveloped nipples when they are born; however, male dogs' teats remain nonfunctioning. Teats don't reflect how many puppies a female can have, but a veterinarian can use several means to estimate the number of puppies in an litter that's coming due.
Canine Mammary Structure
The canine mammary structure consists of five paired mammary glands laid out in a chain staggered along the midline of the dog's chest and stomach. Typically, a small- to medium-size dog will have eight teats, and a large to giant-size dog will have 10 teats, regardless of how many puppies she will bear in a litter. Nipples mature and develop functionality when the female dog reaches adolescence. They become fully functional when the female dog has her first puppies. Once a female dog has stopped nursing, her nipples reduce in size until the next time she has puppies to nurse.
Determining the Number of Puppies
The number of puppies a female carries can be estimated starting the fourth week of pregnancy, by having the vet gently palpate her abdomen. Palpating a pregnant dog's abdomen puts the pregnancy at risk if it is done improperly, so only a veterinarian should perform it. An ultrasound image can be taken of the female dog's abdomen at approximately four weeks, as well. This test will determine if she is pregnant or not, but not how many puppies she will have. Abdominal X-rays taken at about the end of the eighth week of pregnancy are the most accurate means of determining the number of puppies a female dog carries.
