Fun Friday: Editing Gone Wrong!
This is for the sixth grader in you.
Wow. I bet his wife was either really amused or really ticked.
I can see why she may be a bit upset.
Regret the Error is another great sight site that'll help you get you're your editorial giggle on, but be careful – get two too cocky and you're bound to end up on it yourself!
Writing on a popular topic means the article is going to be read by many, referenced and if online, gather hits for a long time. When a writer produces a well-written piece on eating organic, they can rest assured they will always find an audience willing to send clicks their way.
Evergreen pieces have a broader market where they can be pitched. Editors are always looking for good pieces with a long shelf life to boost readers and maintain reader loyalty. Using the eating organic example, there are a variety of possible publications including cooking, health, parenting, gardening, environmental awareness and senior citizen targeted publications. Writers will still have to angle their pitch to the specific publication, but the markets are there and that's what is important.
Popular subjects make writers use their brains to come up with new angles and sources. Publications may include the same subject matter, but they don't want to publish the same piece written by different authors over and over again.
Writing a general piece on a subject can awaken the idea monster in a writer. Points lightly touched upon in an evergreen article can be explored further in progressively specialized articles. Before you know it, you've written dozens of articles on a subject and have another area of expertise to add to your resume.
1. Show talent for the general and specific.
Many freelancers write for specialized publications or have a heavy concentration in a niche and that's not a problem if that's the only area in which you have writing interests. When writers get antsy for something new, they can find themselves at a disadvantage. They may want to write fashion pieces, but all their clips say technical writer. Taking the time to write general evergreen articles gives a writer variety in their clips, ensuring they have a broad body of work to chose from when pitching outside their niche.
There are standard subjects people want to learn more about and as a writer you have the opportunity to not only provide this information, but to use your skill and natural talent to take the subject in a new direction, discover new angles, developments and research. I believe blog and web sites benefit from evergreen articles the most because people may not hold on to a magazine forever, but they will continually refer back to their favorite posts and links. If you haven't branched out into this area already, make it a point to do so in the new year – you won't be sorry.
To get a writing job, you need clips and having easy access to those clips is essential to running an efficient and productive writing career. So, where are your clips hanging out?
Some writers wait until they are applying for a job to look up their online articles. Normally, while not the most productive, they find their articles in time to send them off to a waiting editor. However, there are other times when one goes to find the article and it has been deleted by the web site. Yikes.
When your article goes live on a site the best thing a writer can do is save the file as a PDF file. Saving it as a PDF file maintains the look of the site and you are not at the mercy of the webmaster.
When your article appears in print you need to decide how you are going to maintain your clip file. Many writers make both color and black and white copies and keep the clips in flat folder. Other writers mount their clip copies on a sturdier paper for submission. Others still scan their articles and save them to be printed when needed.
Whatever your style, you need to develop a system. Save time with web articles and keep a list of links and the PDF versions easily accessible to cut down on the amount of time you spend Googling yourself to do to find your clips. Keep your print article clips organized and in good condition – no one wants to look at a rumpled piece of paper in a submission packet.

After analysing the requirements for the introduction and use of a joint school ship in the Danube region, HINT partners developed a Danube School Ship concept covering following aspects: vessel design, organisational structure, educational concept, voyage, estimated costs and funding opportunities.
Stakeholders are hereby invited to go through the executive summary or concept itself (pdf files available for download below), fill in the feedback form and send it to hint@ceronav.ro and Sabine.Gansterer@viadonau.org before June 30th.
In order to meet the increasing demand for qualified crew members for inland navigation in the medium and long term, the STF Committee (Committee on Social Questions, Employment and Training) of the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR), in cooperation with competent experts from EDINNA, adopted a road map to the use of vessel handling simulators in the context of optional practical training and examination.
It is essential that skippers have a high level of competence backed by practical experience, thereby ensuring safety on inland waterways. At present, the only means of attesting this practical experience is the accumulation of four years of navigation time, listed in the crew member's service record book. Training and examination on top-quality simulators would make it possible to submit candidates to near-real conditions in which they'd be able to better prove acquired skills and competences.
Training institutions providing courses for boatmen from countries which have already signed the multilateral Administrative Arrangement for the mutual recognition of service record books (Austria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland and the Czech Republic) are invited to apply for the recognition of their training course through the national administration and in compliance with the procedure.
Serbia and Croatia already informed CCNR of their intention to apply for the recognition of service books and continue with the recognition of the relevant training courses.
Download here PLATINA Consolidated Tables.
In order to provide a dynamic framework for transnational cooperation to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and transfer of best practices, HINT Consortium created the Danube Knowledge Network Group on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=5160587&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr) which not only introduces its members to each other but also provides further networking possibilities between the education system and the labour market, between public and private companies, between relevant river organisations and policy makers.
In March 2013, the European Commission launched an initiative on the recognition and modernisation of professional qualifications in inland navigation.
The goal of the initiative is the removal of barriers between EU Member States for exercising professions in the field of inland navigation, thus subscribing to the main goal of the EC common transport policy of the free movement of persons and goods across the EU.
Thus, between March 26th and June 21st interested parties could fill in a well-targeted questionnaire approaching following issues: existing administrative and legislative barriers preventing labour mobility, necessity of local knowledge requirements and recognition of service record books and implementation of standard inland navigation communication phrases.

Three Big Reasons Why the Biden Climate Agenda is Floundering
By Jacob Fischler
Share Tweet Share Email Print

President Joe Biden's climate agenda took a hit this month when the Interior Department said it would open 144,000 acres of federal land up for oil and gas development to comply with a court order to restart fossil fuel development.
The announcement marked yet another setback for a presidential climate plan that was once seen as historically ambitious.
Biden's signature climate bill has gone nowhere in the U.S. Senate, he's called for more domestic fossil fuel production to combat rising gas prices, and members of his own party doubt whether he can meet goals for a U.S. transition to electric vehicles.
After noting climate as one of four crises facing the nation during his 2020 campaign, Biden gave it only a passing mention in his State of the Union address in March.
The White House defense on the oil and gas leases is that a court order forced adoption of a policy contrary to Biden's climate objectives. Accompanying the move was a raise in the royalty rates for energy companies drilling on federal land, a reform long sought by environmental advocates.
But it still represented a departure from the president's campaign rhetoric that promised no more drilling on federal lands, and it was met with derision by some environmental advocates.
Randi Spivak, the public lands director for the Center for Biological Diversity, called it "a reckless failure of climate leadership."
Other advocacy groups were more understanding — the National Wildlife Federation, for example, stressed provisions of the restart that raised rates for fossil fuel development and limited the area that would be available.
As the nation celebrates Earth Day on Friday, the administration has said it is still committed to climate action.
The evidence? Biden's move to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, funding to target carbon reduction and electric vehicles in last year's transportation infrastructure law, and a goal set to reduce carbon emissions by 50 to 52% below 2005 levels by 2030.
"The press and the pundits may want to declare President Biden's climate agenda dead," an administration official said at a press briefing Monday. "But this week, we will show how it is very much alive and well."
Thursday, the Transportation Department announced a $6.4 billion program funded by the infrastructure law to help state transportation departments limit greenhouse gases from vehicles. Biden is scheduled to address climate issues in an Earth Day speech in Seattle on Friday.
Here are three big reasons why the White House has struggled with its climate agenda:
During the presidential campaign, Biden pledged to end new fossil fuel development on federal lands. He followed through on that promise on his first day in office, issuing an executive order to pause new oil and gas leases as the administration reviewed the program and its impact on climate change.
A federal judge, though, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Louisiana, found the executive order was illegal and ordered the administration to restart leasing.
In a tweet, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said that the order forced the new oil and gas lease sales.
She noted the parcels available for lease were decreased 80% from what had been nominated for leases in 2021 and touted the raise in royalty rates from 12.5% to 18.75%.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the move "was the result of a court injunction that we continue to appeal. And it's not in line with the president's policy."
House Natural Resources Chairman Raúl Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat and former chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who has pushed the Biden administration for more ambitious climate action, accepted that the court order forced the administration's hand and credited Haaland with the reforms.
"I'm glad we finally have an administration that recognizes that the status quo for our oil and gas leasing program is a rip-off for the American people," Chair Grijalva said.
But some outside groups called it a violation of Biden's campaign pledge.
Kyle Tisdel, director of energy and climate at the environmental legal group Western Environmental Law Center, said in an interview the administration had options, even after the "flawed" injunction from Doughty.
The court order only said the administration could not issue a blanket pause on new leases, he said. But the Bureau of Land Management could still decline to issues new leases on a case-by-case basis, he said.
Bipartisan members of the House and Senate passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that the administration helped steer and Biden signed last year.
A group of progressive lawmakers almost sank the measure over concerns it would exacerbate — not solve — the climate crisis. The administration and congressional leaders promised to pair the infrastructure bill with a sweeping $3.5 trillion bill that would include major climate provisions.
The House passed the larger bill, but the Senate never took it up. West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin III came out against the legislation in December. With no Republican support, Manchin's opposition doomed the bill in the evenly divided Senate.
"What the last year has shown us is that the Biden administration trying to calibrate action to the whims of certain senators or congresspeople or midterm elections has been sort of a fool's errand," Tisdel said.
Some members of Congress remain optimistic that a climate bill can be passed. Manchin has indicated an openness to supporting the clean energy tax credits in the Biden plan, but also has said that negotiations on the so-called Build Back Better plan must start from scratch.
U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, a New Mexico Democrat who earlier this year called for passing the climate provisions of the Biden spending plan, said in a Thursday statement he remained focused on expanding clean energy, funding conservation work and supporting fish and wildlife protections.
"All eyes are rightly on the Biden administration and on Congress to pass transformative climate investments," Heinrich said. "We need to deliver."
War and spiraling gas prices
Biden's State of the Union address this year focused on the war in Ukraine, then just days old, and spiking prices for consumer goods — including energy.
His top priority, he said, was "getting prices under control."
The drive to cut costs seemed to displace climate action, which he only mentioned twice, once in the context of lowering energy prices.
To address rising prices in the short term, Biden has also called on domestic producers to pump more oil and has released millions of barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a complex of underground storage caverns in Louisiana and Texas.
Biden, in Iowa, also waived a regulation banning sales of the ethanol blend E15 during the summer months. The Environmental Protection Agency normally doesn't allow sales from June to mid-September due to concerns over air pollution.
Julie McNamara, a deputy policy director with the climate and energy program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a climate advocacy group, said using rising energy prices to make the case should be an opportunity to hasten a transition away from fossil fuels to less volatile energy sources.
"We're seeing a push from the fossil fuel industry and their supporters to increase our dependence on fossil fuels, to increase production and fighting back against clean energy," she said.
"When every indicator says now is the time to be doubling down on our commitment to this clean energy transition."

\section{Introduction}
We consider the measure space $(\mathbb{R}^n, \mathcal{M}, \mu)$, where $\mathcal{M}$ is a $\sigma$-algebra and $\mu$ is the Lebesgue measure.
When $S\in\mathcal{M}$ has a finite measure, for $0<q<r$ and measurable function $f$ on $S$, the following inequality holds.
\begin{align}
\label{eq_lp_inequality}
\|f\|_q\leq \mu(S)^{\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}}\|f\|_r,
\end{align}
where $\|f\|_p$ is a $L^p$-norm\cite{rudin2006real} defined as follows.

\begin{defi}
Let $S\in\mathcal{M}$.
For $0<p<\infty$,
\begin{align}
\|f\|_p\eqdef {\bigl(\int_{S} |f(x)|^p \mathrm{d}^nx\bigr)}^{\frac{1}{p}}. \nonumber
\end{align}
For $p=\infty$,
\begin{align}
\|f\|_\infty\eqdef \esssup_{x\in S} |f|. \nonumber
\end{align}
\end{defi}

In this paper, we show a similar inequality between two $L^p$-norms by using a $q$-moment when $S=\mathbb{R}^n$ (See Theorem 1 and 2 in section 2).

For $0<q<r\leq\infty$ and $n=1$,
\begin{align}
\label{eq_new_inequality}
\|f\|_q\leq {(C{\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}})}^{\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}}\|f\|_r,
\end{align}
where $C$ is a constant and $\mu_{q,\alpha}$ is the $\alpha$-th order $q$-moment defined as follows. .

\begin{defi}
Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function which satisfies $0<\|f\|_q < \infty$.
Let $X\in \mathbb{R}^n$.
We define a q-expectation value \cite{tsallis1998role,abe2005necessity}.
\begin{align}
E_q[X]\eqdef \frac{\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} x|f(x)|^q \mathrm{d}^n x}{\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} |f(x)|^q \mathrm{d}^n x} \nonumber
\end{align}
Especially, when $q=1$, we write $E_1[X]$ as $E[X]$.
\end{defi}
 $E_q[X]$ is also a expected value of a escort distribution $\frac{|f(x)|^q}{\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} |f(x)|^q \mathrm{d}^n x}$\cite{beck1995thermodynamics}.

\begin{defi}
\label{def_q_moment}
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function and $X\in \mathbb{R}$.
For $b\in \mathbb{R}$ and $\alpha >0$, we define the $\alpha$-th order $q$-moment as follows.
\begin{align}
\mu_{q,\alpha}\eqdef E_q[|X-b|^\alpha] \nonumber
\end{align}
When $b=E_q[X]$, $\mu_{q,\alpha}$ is the central $q$-moment.
\end{defi}
$\mu_{q,\alpha}$ is also the $\alpha$-th order moment of a escort distribution.

In (\ref{eq_new_inequality}), ${\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}$ corresponds to $\mu(S)$ in (\ref{eq_lp_inequality}) and we can interpret ${\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}$ as the ``range'' of the region function $f$ spreads.

As applications of the inequality (\ref{eq_new_inequality}) and the multivariate version of  (\ref{eq_new_inequality}), we derive an inequality between two R\'{e}nyi entropies\cite{renyi1961measures} and derive upper bounds for the R\'{e}nyi and the Tsallis entropies with given $q$-moment. We also obtain an upper bound for the Shannon differential entropy \cite{conrad2004probability} as a limit of the R\'{e}nyi entropy.

Furthermore, we derive an upper bound for the probability of a subset in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with given $L^p$-norm on the same set. This is a generalization of the result in\cite{nishiyama2018improved}.

\section{Main Results}
\begin{theorem}
\label{th_1dim_norm_inequality}
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function with finite $q$-moment. Let $\|f\|_q,\|f\|_r<\infty$.

For $0<q<r\leq\infty$,
\begin{align}
\|f\|_q\leq {(C{\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}})}^{\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}}\|f\|_r,
\end{align}
where $C$ is a constant which only depends on $\alpha$.
The example value of $C$ is $C=\frac{2}{\alpha}\Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha})(\alpha e)^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}$.
\end{theorem}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
For a non-negative convex function $\phi_t$, we consider the following value.
\begin{align}
\label{eq_basic}
V=\int_{\mathbb{R}} |f(x)|^q\phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|x-b|^\alpha) \mathrm{d}x,
\end{align}
where the function $\phi_t(x)$ satisfies $\phi_t(1)=1$.
We transform this equation as follows.
\begin{align}
V=\int_{\mathbb{R}} |f(x)|^q \mathrm{d}x \times E_q[\phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|X-b|^\alpha)]
=\|f\|_q^q E_q[\phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|X-b|^\alpha)]
\end{align}
Applying the Jensen's inequality to this equation and using Definition \ref{def_q_moment} give
\begin{align}
\label{eq_jensen}
V\geq \|f\|_q^q\phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}E_q[|X-b|^\alpha]) =\|f\|_q^q\phi_t(1)=\|f\|_q^q.
\end{align}

Furthermore, for $1\leq s, t \leq \infty$, by applying the H\"{o}lder's inequality to (\ref{eq_basic}), we have
\begin{align}
V\leq \||f|^q\|_s{(\int_{\mathbb{R}} \phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|x-b|^\alpha)^t \mathrm{d}x)}^{\frac{1}{t}},
\end{align}
where $\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{t}=1$.
By assumption $q<r$, we can put $r=qs$ and $1\leq t<\infty$.
Then, we have
\begin{align}
\label{eq_holder}
V\leq \|f\|_r^q{(\int_{\mathbb{R}} \phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|x-b|^\alpha)^t \mathrm{d}x)}^{\frac{1}{t}},
\end{align}
where we use $\||f|^q\|_s=\|f\|_{qs}^q=\|f\|_r^q$.

Since $\phi_t(x)=\exp\bigl(-\frac{\beta}{t}(x-1)\bigr)$ is a convex function and satisfies $\phi_t(1)=1$, substituting $\phi_t(x)=\exp\bigl(-\frac{\beta}{t}(x-1)\bigr)$ into RHS of this inequality, we have
\begin{align}
\int_{\mathbb{R}} \phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|x-b|^\alpha)^t \mathrm{d}x=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\exp\bigl(-\beta(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|x-b|^\alpha-1)\bigr)\mathrm{d}x,
\end{align}
where $\beta > 0$.
Changing from the variable $x$ to $y=\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}}(x-b)$ gives
\begin{align}
\label{eq_rhs}
\int_{\mathbb{R}} \phi_t(\mu_{q,\alpha}^{-1}|x-b|^\alpha)^t \mathrm{d}x&=2\exp(\beta){\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}
}\int_0^\infty\exp\bigl(-\beta y^\alpha)\mathrm{d}y
&=\frac{2}{\alpha}\Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha}){\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}\exp(\beta)\beta^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}}.
\end{align}
$\exp(\beta)\beta^{-\frac{1}{\alpha}}$ has a minimum value at $\beta=\frac{1}{\alpha}$.
Substituting this condition into (\ref{eq_rhs}) and (\ref{eq_holder}) gives
\begin{align}
\label{eq_holder_2}
V\leq \|f\|_r^q{(C{\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}})}^{\frac{1}{t}},
\end{align}
where $C=\frac{2}{\alpha}\Gamma(\frac{1}{\alpha})(\alpha e)^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}$.
Combining (\ref{eq_jensen}) and (\ref{eq_holder_2}) gives
\begin{align}
\label{eq_final}
\|f\|_q\leq \|f\|_r{(C{\mu_{q,\alpha}}^{\frac{1}{\alpha}})}^{\frac{1}{qt}}.
\end{align}
Combining  $\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{t}=1$ and $r=qs$, we have $\frac{1}{qt}=\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}$.
Substituting this equation into (\ref{eq_final}), the result follows.

Next, we prove the multivariate version.
\begin{defi}
Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function.

For $b\in \mathbb{R}^n$ and $X\in \mathbb{R}^n$, we define a multivariate $q$-moment as follows.
\begin{align}
\Sigma_{q,b}\eqdef E_q[(X-b)(X-b)^T], \nonumber
\end{align}
where $T$ denotes the transpose of a vector.

When $b=E_q[X]$, we write $\Sigma_{q,b}$ as $\Sigma_q$ and $\Sigma_q$ is equal to a $q$-covariance matrix.

When $q=1$, we write $\Sigma_{q,b}$ as $\Sigma_b$ and $\Sigma$ denotes a covariance matrix.
\end{defi}
\begin{theorem}
\label{th_multi_norm_inequality}
Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function with finite multivariate $q$-moment. Let $\|f\|_q,\|f\|_r<\infty$.

For $0<q<r\leq\infty$ and $n\geq 1$
\begin{align}
\|f\|_q\leq {(C{(\det\Sigma_{q,b})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}}\|f\|_r.
\end{align}
$C$ is a constant which only depends on $n$.
The example value of $C$ is $C={(2\pi e)}^{\frac{n}{2}}$.
\end{theorem}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
We can prove this theorem in the same way as the theorem \ref{th_1dim_norm_inequality}.

First, we consider the following value.
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_basic}
V=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} |f(x)|^q\phi_t((x-b)^T\Sigma_{q,b}^{-1}(x-b)) \mathrm{d}^nx,
\end{align}
where $\phi_t$ is a non-negative convex function which satisfies $\phi_t(n)=1$.
By applying the Jensen's inequality to this equation in the same way as Theorem \ref{th_1dim_norm_inequality}, we get
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_jensen}
V\geq \|f\|_q^q\phi_t(n)=\|f\|_q^q.
\end{align}
Next, for $1\leq s, t \leq \infty$, by applying the H\"{o}lder's inequality to (\ref{eq_multi_basic}) and putting $r=qs$, we have
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_holder_1}
V\leq \|f\|_r^q{\biggl(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \phi_t\bigl((x-b)^T\Sigma_{q,b}^{-1}(x-b)\bigr)^t \mathrm{d}x\biggr)}^{\frac{1}{t}}.
\end{align}
Substituting $\phi_t(x)=\exp\bigl(-\frac{\beta}{t}(x-n)\bigr)$ into this inequality gives
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_integral_1}
\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \phi_t\bigl((x-b)^T\Sigma_{q,b}^{-1}(x-b)\bigr)^t \mathrm{d}x=\exp(\beta n)\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\exp\bigl(-\beta(x-b)^T\Sigma_{q,b}^{-1}(x-b)\bigr)\mathrm{d}^nx.
\end{align}
Changing the variable from $x$ to $y=\Sigma_{q,b}^{-\frac{1}{2}}(x-b)$ gives
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_rhs}
\exp(\beta n)\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\exp\bigl(-\beta(x-b)^T\Sigma_{q,b}^{-1}(x-b)\bigr)\mathrm{d}^nx=\exp(\beta n){(\det\Sigma_{q,b})}^{\frac{1}{2}}{\biggl(\frac{\pi}{\beta}\biggr)}^{\frac{n}{2}}.
\end{align}
$\exp(\beta)\beta^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ has a minimum value at $\beta=\frac{1}{2}$.
Substituting this condition into (\ref{eq_multi_rhs}) and combining (\ref{eq_multi_holder_1}) and (\ref{eq_multi_integral_1}) give
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_holder_2}
V\leq \|f\|_r^q{(C{(\det\Sigma_{q,b})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{\frac{1}{t}},
\end{align}
where $C={(2\pi e )}^{\frac{n}{2}}$.
Combining (\ref{eq_multi_jensen}) and (\ref{eq_multi_holder_2}) gives
\begin{align}
\label{eq_multi_final}
\|f\|_q\leq \|f\|_r{(C{(\det\Sigma_{q,b})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{\frac{1}{qt}}.
\end{align}
Combining  $\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{t}=1$ and $r=qs$, we have $\frac{1}{qt}=\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}$.
Substituting this equation into (\ref{eq_multi_final}), the result follows.

\section{Applications}
In this section, $C$ denotes a constant which only depends on the dimension $n$.
The example value of $C$ is $(2\pi e)^{\frac{n}{2}}$.
\subsection{Application for the R\'{e}nyi and the Tsallis entropies}
We derive upper bounds for the R\'{e}nyi and the Tsallis entropies with given $q$-covariance matrix and derive an inequality between two R\'{e}nyi entropies by using Theorem \ref{th_multi_norm_inequality}.

\begin{corollary}
\label{co_renyi_variance_inequality}
Let $f$ be a probability density function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite $q$-covariance matrix and $h_p(X)\eqdef \frac{p}{1-p}\log \|f\|_p$ be the R\'{e}nyi entropy.

For $p>1$,
\begin{align}
h_p(X)\leq  \frac{1}{2}\log({\det\Sigma})+\log C.
\end{align}

For $0<p<1$,
\begin{align}
h_p(X)\leq  \frac{1}{2}\log({\det\Sigma_p})+\log C.
\end{align}
\end{corollary}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
For $p>1$, by putting $q=1$, $r=p$, $b=E_q[X]$ and using $\|f\|_1=1$ in Theorem \ref{th_multi_norm_inequality}, the result follows.

For $0<p<1$, by putting $r=1$, $q=p$, $b=E_q[X]$ and using $\|f\|_1=1$ in Theorem \ref{th_multi_norm_inequality}, the result follows.

We can derive the optimal constant $C$ by using the distribution that maximizes the R\'{e}nyi entropy\cite{johnson2007some}.

In the limit $p\rightarrow 1$, the R\'{e}nyi entropy is the Shannon differential entropy and we have
\begin{align}
h(X)\leq  \frac{1}{2}\log({\det\Sigma})+\log C,
\end{align}
where $h(X)$ is the Shannon differential entropy.
When $C=(2\pi e)^{\frac{n}{2}}$, this inequality is consistent with the well-known upper bound of the Shannon entropy.

\begin{corollary}
Let $f$ be a probability density function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite $q$-covariance matrix and $h_p(X)\eqdef \frac{p}{1-p}\log \|f\|_p$ be the R\'{e}nyi entropy.

For $0<q<r\leq \infty$,
\begin{align}
\frac{1-q}{q}h_q(X)\leq  \frac{1-r}{r}h_r(X)+\biggl(\frac{1}{q}-\frac{1}{r}\biggr)\bigl(\frac{1}{2}\log(\det\Sigma_q)+\log C\bigr).
\end{align}

\end{corollary}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
Taking the logarithm of Theorem \ref{th_multi_norm_inequality}, the result follows.

\begin{corollary}
Let $f$ be a probability density function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite $q$-covariance matrix and $S_q(X)\eqdef \frac{1}{q-1}(1-\|f\|_q^q)$ be the Tsallis entropy\cite{tsallis1988possible}.

For $q>1$,
\begin{align}
\exp_q(S_q(X))\leq  C{(\det\Sigma)}^{\frac{1}{2}},
\end{align}
where $\exp_q(x)\eqdef [1+(1-q)x]^{\frac{1}{1-q}}$.

For $0<q<1$,
\begin{align}
\exp_q(S_q(X))\leq  C{(\det\Sigma_q)}^{\frac{1}{2}}.
\end{align}
\end{corollary}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
From the definition of the Tsallis entropy and $\exp_q(x)$, we have $\exp_q(S_q(X))=\|f\|_q^{\frac{q}{1-q}}$.
The rest part of the proof is almost the same as Corollary \ref{co_renyi_variance_inequality}.

\subsection{Application for the upper bound of a probability}
We derive an upper bound for the probability of a subset with given $L^p$-norm on the same set.
Since we use some functions in this subsection, we use the following notation. \\
\noindent\textbf{Notation.}
\begin{itemize}
\item
For a non-negative measurable function $F$,
\begin{align}
E_F[X]\eqdef \frac{\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}  x F(x)\mathrm{d}^nx}{\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} F(x) \mathrm{d}^nx}. \nonumber \\
\Sigma_{F,b}\eqdef E_F[(X-b)(X-b)^T].\nonumber
\end{align}
When $b=E_q[X]$, we write $\Sigma_{F,b}$ as $\Sigma_F$.

\item
For $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$,
\[
  I_\Omega(x) = \begin{cases}
    1 & (x\in \Omega) \\
    0 & (x\notin \Omega)
  \end{cases}
\]
\end{itemize}
\begin{prop}
Let $f$ be a probability density function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite covariance matrix $\Sigma_f$.
Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ and $P(\Omega)$ be a probability of $\Omega$.

For $r>1$ and $n\geq 1$,
\begin{align}
\label{eq_prob_upper_bound}
P(\Omega)^{1+\frac{n}{2}-\frac{n}{2r}}\leq  {(C{(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{1-\frac{1}{r}}\|fI_\Omega\|_r.
\end{align}
\end{prop}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
First, we put
\begin{align}
 \psi(x)\eqdef {(\Sigma_f)}^{-\frac{1}{2}}(x-E_f[X]) \\ \nonumber
y=\psi(x) \\ \nonumber
\hat{\Omega}=\psi(\Omega)\\ \nonumber
\hat{f}(y)\eqdef{(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{1}{2}}f(x) \\ \nonumber
g(x)\eqdef f(x)I_\Omega(x) \\ \nonumber
\hat{g}(y)\eqdef \hat{f}(y)I_{\hat{\Omega}}(y) .
\end{align}
Since ${(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{1}{2}}\mathrm{d}^ny=\mathrm{d}^nx$, we have
\begin{align}
\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \hat{g}(y)^r \mathrm{d}^ny&=\int_{\hat{\Omega}} \hat{f}(y)^r \mathrm{d}^ny \\ \nonumber
&={(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{r-1}{2}}\int_{\Omega} f(x)^r\mathrm{d}^nx \\ \nonumber
&={(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{r-1}{2}}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} g(x)^r\mathrm{d}^nx.
\end{align}

From this equation, we have
\begin{align}
\label{eq_change_variable}
\|\hat{g}\|_r={(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{r-1}{2r}}\|g\|_r={(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{1}{r})}\|g\|_r.
\end{align}
Especially, when $r=1$, $\|\hat{g}\|_1=\|g\|_1=P(\Omega)$.

Furthermore, using the GM-AM inequality ${(\det A)}^{\frac{1}{n}} \leq \frac{1}{n}\mathrm{Tr}A $, we have
\begin{align}
\label{eq_trace_inequality}
\det\Sigma_{\hat{g},0}\leq  {\bigl(\frac{1}{n}\mathrm{Tr}\Sigma_{\hat{g},0}\bigr)}^n
= \frac{1}{\|\hat{g}\|_1^n}{\bigl(\frac{1}{n}\sum_i \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} y_i^2 \hat{g}(y) \mathrm{d}^ny\bigr)}^n \\ \nonumber
= \frac{1}{\|g\|_1^n}{\bigl(\frac{1}{n}\sum_i \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} y_i^2 \hat{g}(y) \mathrm{d}^ny\bigr)}^n,
\end{align}
and
\begin{align}
\label{eq_trace_inequality2}
\sum_i \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} y_i^2 \hat{g}(y) \mathrm{d}^ny\leq \sum_i \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} y_i^2 \hat{f}(y) \mathrm{d}^ny\\ \nonumber
=E_{\hat{f}}[\mathrm{Tr}(YY^T)] \\ \nonumber
=E_{f}[\mathrm{Tr}(\Sigma_f^{-1}(X-E_f[X])(X-E_f[X])^T)] \\ \nonumber
=\mathrm{Tr}(\Sigma_f^{-1}E_{f}[(X-E_f[X])(X-E_f[X])^T])=n.
\end{align}
(\ref{eq_trace_inequality}) and (\ref{eq_trace_inequality2}) give
\begin{align}
\label{eq_trace_inequality3}
\det\Sigma_{\hat{g},0}\leq  \frac{1}{\|g\|_1^n}.
\end{align}

Applying Theorem \ref{th_multi_norm_inequality} for $\hat{g}$, $q=1$ and $b=0$ gives
\begin{align}
\|\hat{g}\|_1\leq {(C{(\det\Sigma_{\hat{g},0})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{1-\frac{1}{r}}\|\hat{g}\|_r.
\end{align}
By using (\ref{eq_change_variable}) and (\ref{eq_trace_inequality3}), we have
\begin{align}
\|g\|_1\leq {(C{(\det\Sigma_{\hat{g},0})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{1-\frac{1}{r}}\|\hat{g}\|_r\leq \frac{1}{\|g\|_1^{\frac{n}{2}(1-\frac{1}{r})}}{(C{(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{1-\frac{1}{r}}\|g\|_r.
\end{align}
By transforming this equation and using $P(\Omega)=\|g\|_1$, the result follows.

\begin{corollary}
\label{cor_prob_upperbound}
Let $f$ be a probability density function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite covariance matrix $\Sigma_f$.
Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ and $P(\Omega)$ be a probability of $\Omega$.

For $n\geq 1$,
\begin{align}
P(\Omega)\leq {\bigl(C{(\det\Sigma_f)}^{\frac{1}{2}}\|fI_\Omega\|_\infty\bigr)}^{\frac{2}{n+2}}.
\end{align}
\end{corollary}
\noindent\textbf{Proof.}
By substituting $r=\infty$ into (\ref{eq_prob_upper_bound}), the result follows.

Since $\|fI_\Omega \|_\infty=\esssup_{x\in \Omega} f(x)$, when the supremum of $f(x)$ in $\Omega$ is given, we can derive the probability upper bound by using Corollary \ref{cor_prob_upperbound}.

\section{Conclusion}
In the first half, we have shown inequalities between two $L^p$-norms by using the $q$-moment for the Euclidean space and the Lebesgue measure.

In the latter half, by applying these inequalities to probability theory, we have derived the inequality that holds between two R\'{e}nyi entropies, and have derived upper bounds for the R\'{e}nyi and the Tsallis entropies with given $q$-moment.
In particular, by using the result of the R\'{e}nyi entropy, we have shown an upper bound for the Shannon entropy in the limit $q\rightarrow 1$.

Furthermore, we have derived the upper bound for the probability of the subset in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with given $L^p$-norm on the same set.

We hope we will find the optimal constants $C$ for each inequality.

Russian President Vladimir Putin (C) chairs a meeting with members of the government at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence outside Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is allocating 4.2 billion rubles ($74.5 million) this year to nongovernmental organizations that defend human rights or perform other socially significant services, according to a decree released Thursday by the Kremlin.
That figure is almost twice the size of the 2.7 billion rubles that Putin allocated last year.
This year's decree says that the funds will be given out to NGOs based on the results of three competitions to determine which NGOs are worthy of the financial support.
The winners of the competitions will be decided by seven approved organizations that focus on different social spheres, such as for pensioners', women's and children's issues.
The first competition will take place by July 1, the second by Oct. 20 and the third by Dec. 7, says the decree, posted on the government's legal information website.
Last year hundreds of NGOs in Russia were fined an average of 10,600 rubles amid a government crackdown for violations of legislation regulating such organizations' activities, according to a statement by the Justice Ministry.
The ministry conducted some 7,000 planned and surprise inspections of NGOs last year and issued nearly 37,000 warnings.
Russia has strict laws regarding NGOs, including an obligation for organizations that receive foreign funding and engage in loosely defined "political" activities to register as "foreign agents."

Is anyone else dreaming of holiday dinners yet? Rosemary has been busy with her mouth-watering cooking!
We were celebrating love this weekend!!
Just one of the many reasons we love Fall! Time to start thinking about the holidays and enjoy some delicious Fall fare!


When the boys were staying with Nana and Paw-Paw during Spring Break, Whitten got a new ride...a Spiderman 4-wheeler!! I was shocked to see him ride this little thing, mainly because he is such a little thing (14 months old). Michael said he jumped right on the 4-wheeler and darted off. He loves it!! Vaiden is also obsessed with cars and trucks that move. He has a John Deere Gator that stays at Nana and Paw-Paw's house that he loves too. He has outgrown it and begs all the time for something new. He either squeezes into the Gator or rides the "real" 4-wheeler with Nana or Paw-Paw!! My boys and their riding toys!! Anyway, I just thought this was a cute video clip that Michael took, so I thought I would share!! Enjoy!!
Hunting and Fishing...it's the way of life...around here!!
For the last part of Spring Break, the kids went to stay with Michael's parents. They had so much fun!! Micael killed a turkey and of course, the boys had to get their camo garb on and be in the picture. Then the rest of the weekend, is was all about fishing. Michael, Paw-Paw, and Vaiden caught a ton of fish. Vaiden called me on Saturday night to tell me that they had caught some big bass and then ate them for dinner. He was so proud!! Michael baited Vaiden's hook, but Vaiden did the rest all by himself. Michael said he really did a good job fishing:) Nana and Whitten didn't fish, but they did play outside all day too.
Here are some pictures from my parents house. They were too cute not to share!!
Whitten and Vaiden...waiting on G-Daddy to come home from work!!
"Dog" is the only word Whitten can say other than "da-da".
Whitten and Vaiden LOVE these two dogs. Whitten chases them around and Vaiden is a great helper feeding them!!
For Spring Break, we drove down to visit with my family. On the first day, we met up with the Parish's. We went to Gatti Town for some fun and MONEY SPENDING!! Boy, that place loves to take your money. I didn't realize that you had to pay buffett price just to walk thru the door. We didn't even eat there, but still had to pay...I think that is ridiculous!! Anyway, it was too late to walk out, because Vaiden was so excited about playing with Gibson and playing all the games. His new favorite ride was the bumper cars!! Whitten loved it, too. He ran around that place in circles . I got a workout!! Daynie loved playing with Whitten. She kept telling me that she wanted to hold my baby...he wouldn't even let me hold him...so, Candice and I put them in a car together and pleased them both. They were really cute together!! We had fun seeing the Parish family. We miss them!!
Michael, Vaiden, and I went to our first Ole Miss Baseball Game of the season. It was alot of fun!! The weather was just perfect for a baseball game. Vaiden enjoyed the game, but his favorite part was the popcorn and then he had M&M's to finish the day:) We sat close to the field, so he ran down to play with some other boys. He was able to get a foul ball....he was so excited!! After the game, he had the players sign it. We had a great day!!
My grandparents, aka...Giddie and Sittie, lost everything in their house when Hurrican Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The house was standing but everything inside was ruined!! It was horrible!! They lived in Jackson for 2 years and it was great. They were close by and we visited with them often!! They have rebuilt and moved back to the Coast and we miss them so much.
My Aunt Dawn (my kids call her GAD...Great Aunt Dawn) and cousin Tanya flew in from New Jersey last week. My mom, sister, and I drove down to visit them all. It was a short, but great visit. My Uncle Chad and his family also live on the Coast, so we were able to visit with them as well. Chad's youngest son, Abe, will be 7 years old in a couple of weeks. He and Vaiden love playing together!!
Chad and Melissia have a chicken house in their backyard and Vaiden loves to help collect the eggs....Nice Chicken House...huh??
Whitten is spending time with his Paw-Paw and Nana for a couple of days and he has been missed so much!! He is one LOVEABLE little boy!! We love you Whitten and will see you on Wednesday!!
Vaiden had his first soccer game last Monday. He was so excited about playing!! I don't think he cared much about the object of the game, he just wanted to run around and play with his new buddies!! Vaiden did great though. He didn't score a goal, but he did do alot of kicking!! When the game was over he bragged all night that his team had won...I finally had to tell him that the only reason his team won was because the other team scored 2 goals for us!! Ha!!
He had a blast and Michael and I really enjoyed watching him play. I will keep you all updated on the rest of his season!!
Our first snow in our new home!!
We were all so excited to wake up this March morning to see the ground covered with snow!! This was our first snow in our new home!! It was such a beautiful sight!! Michael and I got the kids bundled up and we headed outside to play!! Whitten got cold and lasted only 20 minutes...we took him in and put him back in the bed for a nap. Michael, Vaiden, and I stayed outside until all the snow melted. We had a blast sledding down the hills. I think Michael and Vaiden liked crashing more!!
~Michael on his REDNECK sled~it's a shovel!!
After playing for several hours, we decided to collect some clean snow and head inside to make snow ice cream. Michael and I both had wonderful memories of eating snow ice cream when we were little. The snow ice cream was just as good today as it was when we were little. It was also a great ending to a wonderful morning!!


HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say three people found dead inside a southwest Ohio apartment may have died of smoke inhalation.
WKEF-TV reports neighbors called police in the Dayton suburb of Huber Heights on Wednesday to report flies covering windows and bad odors coming from the apartment. The bodies of three people who police have not identified were found by officers in different rooms.
Officials say the deaths don't appear to be suspicious. The only indications of a fire were singed window blinds on the first floor.
Neighbors told police that they hadn't seen the residents or their cars being moved for several weeks. Neighbors said a woman, her boyfriend and a small child lived in the apartment.

Charity shop, what charity shop? That's been the reaction from the first customers at our new look furniture outlet in Burton-upon-Trent.
The shop at 12 Lichfield Street is the first of its kind we have opened.
The shop is divided into four areas – Eat, Sleep, Relax and Work & Play – filled with furniture and accessories. It is the first time the charity has used this layout in one of its stores. The opening hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
As well as donations, the shop in Staffordshire is appealing for local people to join the team of volunteers who sort goods, serve customers and organise internet sales of items. To find out more phone 01283537089.
"The air ambulance receives no government funding. Each time the helicopter undertakes a transfer it costs £2,800 so the money raised in our charity shops is a vital source of income to keep them flying. The more support people in the Burton area can give us the more lives we can save," Amy said.
The Children's Air Ambulance is the only dedicated paediatric inter-hospital helicopter transfer service in the country. It receives no government funding and relies entirely on donations to help it continue to save little lives.
If you're interested in volunteering for the vital children's charity, call 08454 130999 or visit your local shop to find out more.

Q: execute a Jupyter Notebook cell programmatically Is it possible for a Jupyter Notebook cell to execute another cell programmatically? (i.e. using Python)
And if so, is it possible to specify the cell number to execute?

A: There is a javascript function called execute_cells (see it on Github) that when given an list of cell indices runs those cells.
%%javascript
Jupyter.notebook.execute_cells([0]) # 0 to run first cell in notebook etc.

If you need to run it specifically in a Python code cell, one can use the Javascript function in the IPython.display module to execute javascript
from IPython.display import Javascript
Javascript("Jupyter.notebook.execute_cells([2])")

Note that this will move the cursor to executed cells.  If you wish to get back to the cursor position, you may get the number of the next cell in order to execute it (code adapted from this answer) :
%%javascript
Jupyter.notebook.execute_cells([0]) # 0 to run first cell in notebook etc.

var output_area = this;
// find my cell element
var cell_element = output_area.element.parents('.cell');
// which cell is it?
var cell_idx = Jupyter.notebook.get_cell_elements().index(cell_element);
Jupyter.notebook.execute_cells([cell_idx+1]) # execute next cell

A: I would like to add to the answer @Louise Davies. If you want to execute a range of cells, use:
from IPython.display import Javascript
Javascript("Jupyter.notebook.execute_cell_range(10,20)")

Trump Administration Attempting to Unmask Twitter Users Critical of the President
Josh Gay
On Thursday, Twitter filed a lawsuit against the US government over attempts to force the social media giant to reveal the identity of those behind anonymous accounts that are critical of the President.
The lawsuit comes after US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security, faxed a summons to Twitter, ordering them to produce records regarding the @ALT_USCIS account, including, "User names, account login, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and I.P. addresses."
The Department of Homeland Security asked Twitter to keep the summons under wraps, but when Twitter asked for a court order, they responded that "no such court order would be obtained."
The @ALT_USCIS account posts tweets and memes that are critical of the Trump administration, especially on issues of immigration. It is one of many #altgov Twitter handles that criticize the Executive Branch departments, including @RougeEPAstaff, @AltUSPressSec, and @AlternateUSFW.
United we stand. #resist #climatefacts #ScienceMarch #science #NoBanNoWall pic.twitter.com/F954WhFtwu
— AltUSFWS (@AlternateUSFW) January 31, 2017
The accounts claim to be current or former disgruntled workers of the represented agency that stand against the administration's policies. They became popular after someone with access to the official Badlands National Park Twitter account began tweeting information about climate change that stood directly opposed to the President's viewpoints.
In the lawsuit, Twitter says that the summons is not in line with the US Constitution:
"The rights of free speech afforded to Twitter's users and Twitter itself under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution include a right to disseminate such anonymous or pseudonymous political speech."
The suit goes on to say that the CBP has not produced any evidence that an actual crime has been committed, and that the summons is likely a measure to suppress free speech.
Somewhat humorously, "The CBP Summons ordered Twitter to produce the records to a CBP office in Washington D.C. by 11:45 A.M. on March 13, 2017 – the day before the CBP Summons was faxed to Twitter."
Twitter also challenges the CBP's authority to issue a summons. According to the filing, the CBP is limited to issuing a summons only when it relates to "any investigation or inquiry relating to the import of merchandise."
We've already seen that Trump administration's attack on the press has been chilling to say the least. The President's war on media has had a profound effect, according to a Pew Research Center Survey. The survey says that the tensions between Trump and the news media hinders the process of informing the public:
"About three-in-four U.S. adults (73%) say that these tensions are getting in the way of access to important national political news and information."
Now, it appears that the administration is going after unfavorable social media users as well.
Nobody would fight harder for free speech than me but why taunt, over and over again, in order to provoke possible death to audience. DUMB!

Udemy - All The SQL You Will Need Unless You Are a DBA
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English + srt | Duration: 21 lectures (6h 9m) | Size: 3.36 GB
Learn Relational Database Concepts And How To Manipulate Data With SQL
The four actions a user or applications programmer can do to a relational database.
How a relational database works
The major relational databases available to everyone for practicing
Learn how to design a database, tables, and relationships
None, just an interest in learning to be more knowledgeable and valuable in the job market.
A relatively modern computer or laptop. Anything from Windows 7 on up. Microsoft Access and Excel would be good to have.
In this course we first get to understand how relational databases work. Relational databases are the backbone of how data is stored in the corporate world. Once we understand that, we focus on the four main SQL statements a business user and/or application programmer are likely to use. These four statements are SELECT(read data from the tables), INSERT(add row(s) to a single table), DELETE(delete rows from a single table), and UPDATE(change data in column(s) for selected records of a selected table). To do this we go into a number of related topics such as JOINs, VIEWs, functions, derived fields and more. The goal of the course is not just for you to learn the syntax of SQL statements. The goal of this course is for you to understand how databases are organized, the logic of them, the bigger picture of what 'relational' means, as well as how you can manipulate the data in them. In the course we will primarily use SQL Server, but reference Access and Excel a lot as most people without experience writing SQL will be more familiar with the concepts using these applications. What you know in Excel is relevant to databases. Functions are relevant. Constructing a formula is relevant. By the end of the class you will be very knowledgeable about relational databases and how to manipulate data using SQL.
Who this course is for
Programmers, students, or business users who want to be able to get information for themselves without having to go to the IT department.
Application programmers or programming students who are interested in integrating a database into a programming language(Python).

Sound familiar? That's because it dates back in 2016 and went viral after being shared by popular meme and humor accounts such as @daquan and @worldstar.
But did you know that this bop has gospel origins? The hook is sampled from "Hold My Mule," a gospel track by Grammy-winning artist Shirley Caesar.
Like most traditional gospel music, this song is a sermon with jazz instrumental embellishments and short bursts of sustained speech for emphasis. The "You Name It" challenge comes from the middle of the song, when Shirley lists off the abundance of produce and livestock in the field an old man is plowing in her story.
Enter DJ Suede, a musical artist who specializes in remixing anything from popular hip hop songs to viral videos. After hearing the potential behind this seasonal meme, @remixgodsuede quickly got to work on adding a beat.
Social media users quickly began filming themselves dancing to the remix and posting their clips under the hashtag #YouNameItChallenge. The trend caught so much attention that Shirley Caesar was invited on Wendy William's show "Real Life Hot Topic" to give her take on the meme and provide some context to the original song.
Even after two years, variations of this meme are still making rounds on the 'Gram, typically referencing current events and subjects that are relevant to the calendar year.
Celebrate today's feast of St. Cecilia (patron of music) by bumpin' this remix in the kitchen while you prepare the thanksgiving feast of… what was it again? Oh yeah.
Beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes… you name it!

The voice is distinctly feminine, and it takes some time before I can make out the figure in front of me. It's a woman of relatively great height with short, red hair. She looks like she might be somewhere around her early twenties, and she's far from hard to look at. She must've seen my fight with Gabri.
The woman is standing in front of a High King and not showing the barest hint of fear. This might be the first time I've seen a human be so unperturbed by this form.
What she says is enough to trigger an involuntary flinch in me.
The only people that should know it are the demons I have in my service and Khiel. How can she know…?!
Wait, really?! She knows that much?! Even Rina's not safe from her. Is there a mole in my army that's been leaking information?
I'm in no position to show signs of being nervous. I have to act with the fortitude the title of High King calls for.
I take some time to think before the name of a certain spell pops into my head.
Seriously? I didn't think there could be a human who knew how to use the Clairvoyance spell, and then this Clairvoyant Hearing on top it all. I'm a little relieved that there's no one in my army leaking information, though.
That's actually good to hear. If there were a few hundred people out there who could use either of those spells, things wouldn't be looking so well for me.
I try to hide my disposition by looking down at her, but I'm more than a little shaken behind the facade. This goes well beyond 'knowing her way around a few spells', doesn't it? Just who is this woman?
I stop talking when I finally catch on to something.
I knew it! She overheard every last detail of my conversation with Rina! What do I do now?! The cat's out of the bag!
Sasha flashes a rather unpleasant smile. You can't be serious. Did she come all this way to threaten me…!?
Calm down. I need to calm down. Don't show her that she hit you where it hurts. I just have to bluff my way through this and make her think that it doesn't bother me.
What. She's taking me up on it now?!
This is really, really bad. Most demons absolutely despise humanity. There's no saying what they might do if they find out I'm one of them. Just the thought of Anri's reaction makes me shiver. She hates humans more than anybody else there.
There are no words that can express how relieved I feel right now. It's a real stroke of luck that this woman doesn't seem like the type to use that kind of information against me. Any less restraint and I might have found myself in a messy situation where I'd have to kill her just to keep her mouth shut.
I don't see how anyone who can use Clairvoyance and Clairvoyant Hearing qualifies as a normal person, but let's forget about that for now.
The next few moments are doused in silence. Suddenly, Sasha bows her head.
This really didn't turn out the way I expected. For a split second, I'm totally dumbfounded.
I can't help myself. I can feel the laughter bubbling up inside me.
I can practically feel the determination in her eyes. She certainly looks like she knows what she's doing.

Residence hall move-in begins
After the 30-minute parking permits expire, incoming residents of the Union Drive residence halls are asked to relocate their vehicles to either the Collegiate Presbyterian Church or to ISU Lots 60 and 61.
Matt Wettengel
Residence halls throughout campus officially opened for the general student population to move-in Tuesday, Aug. 17. With construction on State Gym occupying a large portion of the parking lot behind Martin and Eaton halls, the Department of Residence anticipated a need for a revised move-in procedure across campus.
With the lack of parking adjacent to residence halls located in Union Drive, residents moving into their dorms received a 30-minute parking permit to park near the residence halls.
Residents are expected to unload everything from their cars in these 30 minutes before moving their vehicles to a designated parking lot farther from the dorms and returning on one of the shuttle buses that run every 10 minutes.
"We knew that with the rec. project we needed to make some changes," said Brittney Rutherford, marketing coordinator for ISU Dining. "We sent out postcards in the summer to students informing them about move-in crew and invited freshmen to join this year, which helped to enhance our recruitment efforts."
The move-in crew more than tripled in size this year, boasting 551 members, compared to last year's 170. With the time restriction placed on unloading vehicles, the increased amount of move-in crew members are intended to help residents get their belongings to their rooms in a quick and efficient manner.
While the Richardson Court area features the same amount of parking as in years past, incoming residents received a 60-minute parking permit, which works the same as those given to Union Drive occupants.
"Regardless of planning it's a very busy time for everyone involved in the process," said Pete Englin, director of the department of residence. "We wanted to make it the least stressful as we could. We want it to be a great experience and as fun as it can be for families."
Peak move-in times are anticipated to be between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. By the end of Wednesday approximately 80 percent of the student population will be on campus.

Russia gets its first real-life superhero
Photomontage of Mstitel (Avenger) posted on his online fan page.
The Russian Web is abuzz with talk about the country's first real-life superhero: Mstitel (Avenger in Russian), a masked crime-fighter from the south-western Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Real vigilante, or online hoax?
Mstitel is new to the superhero business, and doesn't yet have many victories to his credit. Nevertheless, he already enjoys a considerable degree of popularity: an online group dedicated to him on Vkontakte (the Russian equivalent of Facebook) counts over 11,000 fans, while a video address posted on YouTube by the avenger has been viewed over 200,000 times and inspired dozens of copycats.
Mstitel's recent moves have been reported in newspapers and are widely discussed on Russian blogs. While some believe he's just a freak, a prankster or part of a sophisticated viral advertising campaign, others praise him as a hero and wish him luck in a society where crime is rampant and the police are universally distrusted.
On March 30, Mstitel's latest feat was reported on his Vkontakte group: he is said to have stopped several petty thieves from stealing something, although it is not clear what. In a written post on the group's wall, Mstitel warned people from following his example without "proper training". He also asked would-be avengers not to hurt criminals – "Evil shouldn't be answered by evil", he wrote. He regretted that some people think he's a joke, and vowed that, come what may, he will continue to patrol the streets of Chelyabinsk.
Mstitel was first sighted patrolling the streets of Chelyabinsk around mid-March. The person who uploaded this video of a brief encounter with him on March 12 visibly thought he was a prankster. Video posted on YouTube by Mirumir444.
Mstitel posted this video message on YouTube on March 20 to explain his intentions. He says he doesn't want any publicity, but just wants to help rid Chelyabinsk of the "human trash" on the streets. He says he used to not care about the crime rate until an incident affected himself and his family. He claims to have been able to help people twice so far, and wants to use his Vkontakte for people to leave him messages and to alert him of their problems. Although he admits he's "not a superman", he says he has "special tools" to help him in his battle.
"I'm sure it's a hoax, but it's a great way to remind authorities that they should start caring about people's safety"
Elena Kozhevina
Elena Kozhevina, 18, is a student of the University of South-Ural in Chelyabinsk. She wrote on Mstitel's Vkontakte page that when she goes home from school after dark, the streets are full of dangerous types.
I'm sure it's a hoax, he's just a guy trying to become famous, like other Internet "heroes" before him. He's just chosen an unusual way to get there. There's a something metallic sticking out from behind him in his videos, and although some people say it's a sword, it looks more like a clyster [large metallic syringe used by 17th century doctors] to me!
But there are some good sides to his actions. Chelyabinsk is a dangerous city [the city and its surroundings has the fourth highest crime rate in Russia, after Moscow, the greater Moscow region and the Ural city of Sverdlovsk]. I'm personally afraid to go out by myself after dark. At times, it's even getting dangerous to bring the garbage out – and at least this man has been noticed. I think his initiative is a great way to remind authorities that they should start caring about peoples' safety."
"Mstitel is not a clown, he really cares"
Dmitry Churin
Dmitry Churin, 31, lives in Chelyabinsk. He's the creator of Mstitel's official Vkontakte group. Some members of the group speculate he could be Mstitel himself.
There's crime in every city and every country. He [Avenger] just decided to patrol his city. He loves his country and wants to make something good for it. He wants justice.
I believe in his success, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time supporting him. Probably the [Vkontakte] group is not the best way [to help him], we'll probably find another way. I'm his friend and I will help him. This man does good deeds.
We don't communicate with the press. He's not a clown, the guy really cares, and you journalists just want to make fun of him. That's all that I have to say to you."

Solar PV Price Index–August 2013
in Installation advice,Solar Choice Company News,Historic Solar PV Power System Prices,Solar system sizes,1kW,1.5kW,2kW,3kW,4kW,5kW,ACT,NSW,NT,QLD,Residential solar system prices,SA,TAS,VIC,WA
The August 2013 Solar PV Price Index marks 1 year since Solar Choice began publishing solar system installation prices in August 2012. While it is clear that figures have come down markedly for 4kW and 5kW systems since that time, cost reductions for the smaller system sizes–although present–have not been as distinct.
This month's figures for were derived from a larger data set than usual for Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Conversely, the number of installers included in the Hobart calculations shrank slightly, yielding numbers that would at first glance appear to reveal huge installation price reductions there.
Average installation costs by city & system size
The table below contains the average solar system installation prices for all capital cities besides Darwin. Although Sydney and Perth are still home to the least expensive systems on offer (see $/W table in the following section), this month Hobart boasts the lowest average system prices when it comes to larger solar systems (3kW, 4kW, 5kW).
It is important to note, however, that only 2 installers were included in the Hobart calculations, with the remaining installer–offering a zero-down solar leasing deal–excluded. Meanwhile, the highest average system prices can now be found in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Solar Choice: Average Solar PV System Prices* – August 2013
1.5kW 2kW 3kW 4kW 5kW
Adelaide, SA $3,933 $4,801 $5,819 $7,451 $8,451

Where explicitly detailed in installer data, STCs accounted for a discount of about 66c per watt for the Zone 3 cities (Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane), and about 55c/W for Zone 4. No STC numbers were available in the data from Hobart or Canberra installers this month.

Solar PV system prices to date
Average system prices continued to fall in the ACT (albeit more gradually) following the sharp drop that was observable between June and July. Prices in most other cities have similarly fallen in varying degrees, except for Sydney and (to a lesser degree) Brisbane, where slight rises were observable, possibly due to the inclusion of new installer data in those cities. The biggest change, however, as noted above, was in Hobart, with apparently sharp reductions across all system sizes.

Thanks a lot for helping with my questions and providing the links. I've already recommended you guys to my Australian extended family.

Thanks for recommending us! Glad we could be of assistance. Are you located outside Australia yourself?

In Sydney, Hobart and Canberra the average cost of 2 kW systems is more than 1.5 kW systems? This doesn't make sense to me. Is this due to a small sample size or is there some other mechanism at work?
Any idea where one can find opensource monthly data on the value of the STCs? I'd just like to have a feel for the unsubsidized cost of solar in Australia. I'm figuring about $30 across the board. Is that reasonable?
Any rumors of cutting back on the STCs in the nearterm? Would that be a post election thing?
Hi Photomofoo,
Thanks for reading. I would attribute that disparity to the small sample size–the trend in all other cases is for $/W costs to decrease as system sizes increase.
Not sure where you can find open source data on STC prices, but the Clean Energy Council has STC and LGC spot prices listed at the top of their homepage, and Green Energy Trading has them here. As written in the article, the average STC discount works out to about 66c/W in zone 3 cities, which can be calculated backwards to about $32/STC for a 5kW system (which gets 103 STCs), so you're pretty much on the mark with $30. I'd say that prices range from about $28 to $32/STC, though, with some installers offering more, some less (at least for this month).

At least 29 people, including children, were killed and 70 others injured in an assault on the Iranian military on Saturday.
According to Reuters, four militants dressed as soldiers fired into the crowd during the parade in the city of Ahvaz.
According to the Iranian Brigadier General Shekarchi four people were identified as attackers of whom three were shot at the attack site while the fourth died from his wounds in custody.
The attack comes as Iran's economy reels in the wake of the U.S.re-imposing sanctions lifted by Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers.
The parade in Ahvaz - the capital of the south-western border province of Khuzestan - marked the anniversary of the start of Iran's 1980-88 war with Iraq.
"Based on reports, this cowardly act was done by people who the Americans come to help when they are trapped in Syria and Iraq, and are paid by Saudi Arabia and the UAE", Khamenei said on his website. "We stand with the Iranian people against the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism and express our sympathy to them at this bad time".
By accusing US-allied country in the Gulf of being behind the attack, Rouhani could have been referring to Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Bahrain - close U.S. military allies that view Iran as a regional menace over its support for Middle East militant groups. "Iran is not the place for such [terrorist] activities", Alav said.
Salami addressed Israeli and United States leaders, saying that "you have seen our revenge before". Iranian leaders blamed the US and Israel and threatened retaliation.
The Revolutionary Guard is a paramilitary force answerable only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

BBI, Revision to Commercial Building Tax Deduction to Help Industry
By Sahely Mukerji, smukerji@glass.com
Serious Energy of Sunnyvale, Calif., and Alcoa of Pittsburgh, among others, joined the Better Building Initiative (BBI) on December 2, the same day that President Obama announced nearly $4 billion in public and private investments in energy upgrades as part of the BBI.
The president also announced the same day that the Treasury is revisiting its guidance to section 179D of the Internal Revenue Code that provides a deduction for the cost of qualifying energy-efficient commercial building property.
"The Better Buildings Initiative is a new drive from the White House and Department of Energy (DOE) to reduce reasons not to upgrade buildings for energy efficiency," says Kevin Surace, CEO of Serious Energy. "First cost is the largest reason owners don't upgrade. Those committed to the program are delivering solutions which address first cost and drive payback periods down to where it would be hard to not upgrade your building."
In joining the BBI, Alcoa is implementing an enterprise-wide energy reduction initiative to decrease energy use in its Global Primary Products division by 10 percent and its other businesses by 20 percent by 2020.
"Last year, the buildings in which we work and live used roughly 40 percent of the energy in the U.S. economy at a cost of over $400 billion," says Glen Morrison, president of Alcoa Building and Construction Systems. "Through a variety of efficiency improvements we can make these buildings more energy efficient, while creating jobs and building a stronger economy."
One of those "efficiency improvements" would be the guidance revision to section 179D. In the coming weeks, the Treasury will issue new guidance to modify the existing targets for claiming the partial deduction. The Treasury, in consultation with the DOE, also will continue to work on streamlining the requirements for claiming a deduction, including a simplified approach for modeling common energy upgrade measures, which would reduce modeling requirement costs for building owners.
Revision and simplification of the commercial building tax deduction has been long overdue says Sneh Kumar, manager of DOE Projects at Traco in Cranberry Township, Pa. "It would help the commercial building industry and provide added incentive for the building owners to upgrade their buildings," he says. "Current claim process requires building owners to do whole building energy analysis to be able to claim the tax deductions, except in case of lighting upgrades, which has a simplified (prescriptive) method of claiming deductions. Building envelope, HVAC, etc., do not have a simplified approach for claim calculation."
As whole building energy analysis is expensive, not many building owners have been able to take advantage of this tax deduction, Kumar says. "In addition, when someone is upgrading only a certain building system, for example, lighting or façade or HVAC, it is too cumbersome and does not justify the additional cost to do whole building energy analysis.
"I did not see any timeline for the revision though I hope the Internal Revenue Service and DOE are able to come up with the simplification soon," Kumar says. "There are still two years left before this tax deduction expires."

Known also as: Nataf

The village stood on a steep slope that faced west, and overlooked a deep, winding wadi that ran from east to west. Secondary roads and dirt paths linked Nitaf to the other villages in the area and ultimately led to major highways, such as the Jerusalem−Jaffa highway. The village houses were built of stone and were clustered together in a small area, in no distinct pattern. The village population was Muslim. The villagers obtained their domestic water from a spring to the west and depended on rain for watering their crops. They planted grain, fruit trees, olive trees, and vineyards on their lands. Some of their lands were also used as grazing areas. In 1944/45 a total of 158 dunums was allocated to cereals; 166 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards, of which 77 dunums were for olives. Nitaf was built on an archaeological site and was surrounded by a number of khirbas. There was a maqam (shrine) for a Shaykh Mas'ud to the east of the village.
The nearest village for which reliable information exists is Dayr Ayyub. That village, like many in the northern half of the Jerusalem corridor, was occupied (on three separate occasions) during the battles that took place around the strategic al-Latrun salient from mid-April to early June 1948. Haganah attacks were launched in the context of a series of operations following Operation Nachshon (see Bayt Naqquba, Jerusalem sub-disctrict), and although they did not succeed in occupying al-Latrun, they managed to widen the Haganah-held territory in the western approaches to Jerusalem. If Nitaf was not occupied by early June, it almost certainly fell to Israeli forces in the second stage of Operation Dani (see Abu al-Fadl, Ramla sub-disctrict).
There are no Israeli settlements on village lands. However, the settlement of Nataf (156137), established on the land of Bayt Thul in 1982, is less than 1 km south of the site. Its name clearly resembles that of Nitaf.
There is a large, deserted stone house on the site surrounded by old terraces. It is a one-storey house with an arched door and arched windows. Northwest of this house, at the bottom of a slope, stands another deserted house. Most of the village lands fell within the Demilitarized Zone that was delineated by the armistice agreement of 1949 between Israel and Jordan.
