If you have never been to Australia, you have probably never had a lamington. If you are an Australian (or are from New Zealand), you have probably had quite a lot of them.
Lamingtons are an Australian snack cake consisting of squares of sponge cake dipped in a chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut. Sometimes they have a layer of jam in the middle of the sponge. They were originally created as a way to use up leftover or stale sponge cake, because the chocolate coating will add and lock in moisture. The coconut is added because coconut is great. You could, I suppose, use chocolate sprinkles if you really cannot abide coconut. I would not try and pass this off as a lamington, though.
The chocolate layer is not melted chocolate, but a mixture of milk, cocoa powder and confectioners sugar with a tiny bit of butter added for flavor. This glaze is easy to handle and firms up quickly. It is not greasy and makes the whole snack very easy to handle and transport.
Judging from some of the greasy, dry lamingtons I've had, it is clear that some bakers have taken the "stale cake" idea to extremes. This is particularly apparent because lamingtons seem to be getting larger and it is significantly more difficult to choke down multiple mouthfuls of overly dry cake. They also seem to have enbraced the belief that using real chocolate, regardless of how much oil or shortening it is mixed with, is superior to the traditional icing, rendering the entire lamington greasy and difficult to handle.
Grease and flour an 8″x8″ or 9″x9″ cake pan.
Beat eggs until frothy with the salt. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and at least doubled in volume, probably 10 minutes at medium-high speed.
Sift together flour and baking powder. Gently fold flour mixture, followed by water and vanilla extract, into egg mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cake springs back when touched.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before turning it out to cool completely on a wire rack.
Cut sponge cake into 16 squares, removing outer edges/crust, if desired.
Combine all ingredients, except coconut, in a bowl and mix until smooth with a fork. Add a bit more milk if mixture is too thick. Dip squares in icing to coat. Let excess drip off, roll in coconut and set on a sheet of wax paper. Icing will be hard in 1-2 hours, depending on your climate.
Lamingtons will keep for a week at room temperature.
I've never heard of lamingtons before. Thanks so much for the recipe and post. I'm going to put it aside and pull it next time the Amazing Race goes to Australia.
I love your blog! I love baking. I am always fantasizing about going to culinary school and enrolling in a pastry program. My family and friends are always getting homemade goodies whenever I see them.
Thanks for all the great recipes you have posted. I am definitely going to try them. I am thinking of making the Lamingtons for my friend's b-day next week. She loves chocolate.
Is it better if I cut the outer crust and edge off before I dip it in chocolate? Does it affect the taste or appearance?
Angela – I'm glad you've enjoying it – I hope you get to culinary school someday. These are great to take to a friend since they travel so well. I would recommend cutting off the outer edges (the parts of the cake that touch the sides of the pan) because they aren't quite as soft as the rest of the cake and won't absorb as much of the chocolate icing. It doesn't affect the taste, though, so it really doesn't matter too much.
I would also recommend making the chocolate cake I posted about last week if your friend likes chocolate, since that is about a chocolatey as you can get!
i read that they make the exact same cake in the midwest (ohio i think) and call it something else.
Never heard of lamingtons before but seems a great idea for a finger-food cake. And you can do the cake ahead of time. Great.
Ana – I agree that cakes that can be made in advance are very useful.
Anonymous – It is possible that somewhere in the midwest they also have lamingtons, but I have never seen or heard of them there. IF this is true, please let me know where they have them; they probably imported the idea from Aus.
Yum, I have not had lamingtons in ages, and have never had them home-made. I will surely give these a try.
Beat eggs, adding sugar gradually, until fluffy. Boil milk and margarine until margarine melts. Stir in vanilla.
Add dry ingredients to eggs and sugar, then add hot milk and margarine mixture. Pour into a greased, 9-by-13-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cut cooled cake into bars. Dip in icing and roll in finely grated coconut.
I imagine one could make this with a white cake mix and bought chocolate syrup that has been slightly thinned with a little water, but again, I haven't tried.
Bakeries in Cleveland make this delicacy with only a few variations. It is available with a chocolate-cake interior instead of a white-cake interior. It can also be made without any dairy products (which, according to recipe above, would just involve substituting for the milk in the cake batter).
I do not know the specific origins of the coconut square. It certainly has been around for more than half a century, and at one time may have had a wider distribution in northern Ohio than it does today. My father, who grew up in Toledo in the 1940s and early 1950s, remembers coconut squares from his youth. The recipe e-mailed by my brother includes comments from individuals who grew up in Fremont and Akron indicating the item was once available in bakeries in those cities. Today, however, the coconut square is firmly associated with Cleveland.
A box of Lax & Mandel coconut bars. They're smallish, stout oblong cakes entirely covered by a thin icing of chocolate and shredded coconut. Gram worked behind this bakery counter for more than forty years. She has gone to heaven and the block has gone to hell, but the coconut bars remain moist.
I generally make it up to Cleveland a couple of times a year, and I always try to pick up some coconut squares to bring back to Columbus. Coconut squares are one Ohio delicacy that certainly deserve a wider appreciation.
sorry, the above comment about coconut bars was copied from a website and was not posted by the author.
Yay! Lamingtons on a US foodblog. Actually, I have to admit I haven't had a lamington for quite a long time – you're right, most bakeries do a poor job of them nowdays. I had a friend at school though, who made her own. I still use her buttercake recipe she used for them as my standard basic cake mix.
Have you ever heard of Lamington Drives? They're a traditional Aussie way of fundraising for community groups/girl guides etc. Basically they sell you packets of commercial lamingtons. A great Aussie tradition.
Nosh – I hope they bring back good memories when you get to try them again!
Niki – Nothing like a little cross-cultural cake appreciation! I've never heard of lamington drives, but I think it's a cute idea. And I'm sure they sell a lot!
I llllove lamingtons. It's definitely on my list of top (food-related) things to miss about Australia. your's look absolutely scrummy.
I love your information on culinary school! I bookmarked your blog and will be back soon. If you want, check out my blog on culinary school secrets, please come by!
hi my name is joel and i am from australia.
you have made these lamgtons exatly the way that i make them here!
But the picture of the lamingtons is not what they look like in real life!!! i sugest you go to google images and search "lamingtons".
Your lamingtons look nice, but I would suggest you roll it in more coconut next time.
Traditional lamingtons soak up more of the chocolate, instead of it being like an outer coating of icing.
Aside from that, they look delicious!!
THAT'S NOT WHAT A LAMINGTON LOOKS LIKE!!!!
Oh, and use Bob's Red Mill unsulphured unsweetened coconut – it's the perfect dessicated texture, very fine, if you bake your own!
My mother was born in Australia – and I am 84 years old……Contrary to the above…lamingtons are made of spongecake (not yellow cake)….They are cubes (not squares) and are made of fresh spongecake (NOT stale cake)….they are frosted with rich chocolate frosting (or icing) and then rolled in very fine dessicated coconut. I have enjoyed these small cakes since I was a toddler….and am still enjoying them on a yearly basis….I still make them for my married children and many grandchildren….

Chronicle reporter Harvey Rice accompanied Galveston Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas on her trip to exchange information with Cuban officials about hurricane preparedness. While there, he spoke to Cubans about U.S.-Cuban relations.
HAVANA — The high-stakes potential of healthy relations between Cuba and the U.S. take on stark significance inside a cramped, one-room apartment in this capital city.
Here, Richard Perez Aguero, his wife and two children eke out an existence in one of the world's few remaining Communist nations. The 31-year-old Perez pads his $2 per month salary as a security guard by hauling passengers on his bicycle rickshaw.
Despite the struggles, Perez, like many Cubans, sees a glimmer of hope in President Barack Obama's gesture of diplomatic goodwill toward Cuba this month.
A better relationship could lead to lifting the 47-year-old U.S. economic embargo, a move Perez believes would change his life.
"It would be phenomenal," he said.
Ending the embargo would also allow him to travel to New York to visit his mother, whom he has not seen since she left Cuba during the 1980 Mariel boatlift.
Obama signaled a possible thawing of relations between the two governments when he recently eased travel restrictions and allowed U.S. companies to seek to enter satellite and television ventures on the island.
Cuban President Raul Castro responded by saying he was ready to discuss human rights and other sensitive issues.
Most Cubans interviewed by the Houston Chronicle see the embargo as the economic key in a country where the average worker earns $4,200 annually.
Perez's brother-in-law, Jorge Dinza, 22, who makes $5 monthly as a baker, said lifting the embargo would produce immediate economic benefits.
The Cuban economy has never entirely recovered from a 35 percent plunge in gross domestic product between 1989 and 1993 caused by a sudden end of economic subsidies following the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
The economy was growing a brisk 5.7 percent in 2007, the last available estimate from the U.S. State Department, but Hurricane Ike sent the economy reeling when it washed away homes and destroyed thousands of acres of crops in September.
The government is the primary employer for the 11.4 million Cubans living on an island about the size of Pennsylvania. The U.S. State Department estimates that about 93 percent of the labor force is employed by the state.
The best-paying jobs are in tourism, which the Cuban government says has become a primary economic driver.
Perez said work in this field, where tips from foreigners raise incomes above average, is critical to prosperity. The government forbids tourism workers from accepting tips in an effort to shrink the wide disparity in incomes between those workers and other jobs, but the rule has had little impact.
Perez said Cubans who know people in the tourism trade can get a job in the industry. But he has no such connections, so he pins his hopes on the embargo.
A rickety, wooden, spiral staircase with no handrails reaches his second-floor apartment on narrow, cobblestone-paved San Ignacio Street.
The bunk beds for his 2-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son are next to the bed he shares with his wife, Yusimi, 24. A low partition from a 3-foot-wide space jammed with a couch and television separate the beds.
Perez said the family is lucky to even have the 2-foot tall refrigerator that sits in the corner. "The refrigerator is a gift from a friend from Spain, as are the bunk beds," he said.
Yusimi Perez complains that food became more expensive after Hurricane Ike. The price of plantains, a Cuban staple, rose from 50 centavos to 1.50 pesos.
Landy Cabrera, 50, a bricklayer, was more cautious than Perez in his assessment of the fresh engagement between the U.S. and his native land. Sitting on a bench amid the lush gardens of the Plaza de Armas in Old Havana, Cabrera said he approved of Obama so far, but it was best to wait and see.
Most Cubans want closer relations with America, but many are wary of U.S. political influence.
Jorge Luis, 40, a security agent at the glaringly pink Hotel Ambos Mundos, where author Ernest Hemingway lived during the 1930s, said he thought Cuba would eventually have better ties with the U.S. But he doesn't want Cuba under the U.S. thumb.
"I don't go to your house and tell you what to do," Luis said.
Louis Ernesto Ortega, 35, one of the many booksellers who array their wares on easel-like wooden stands surrounding the Plaza de Armas, also remains cautious about the future.
Ortega, who migrated from Granma Province in eastern Cuba to Havana four years ago, said his country can manage without the U.S.
"The people in Cuba don't have any interest in better relations," Ortega said, because of the long history of bad blood between the two Cold War-era rivals.
Nevertheless, Latin American countries were insistent during the recent meeting of government leaders in Port of Spain, Trinidad, that Obama improve bonds with Cuba.
"If he's serious about changing relations with Latin America, he has to deal with the embargo," said Patrick Doherty, director of the U.S.-Cuba initiative for the New American Foundation in Washington, D.C.

Breaking News NFL
Jets release disgruntled Le'Veon Bell
October 13, 2020 FLM Le'Veon Bell, New York Jets
The New York Jets released disgruntled running back Le'Veon Bell on Tuesday night.
The team was shopping Bell in hopes of working out a trade before it decided to end the rocky relationship with the 28-year-old.
"After having conversations with Le'Veon and his agent and exploring potential trade options over the past couple of days, we have made the decision to release Le'Veon," New York general manager Joe Douglas said in a news release. "The Jets organization appreciates Le'Veon's efforts during his time here and we know he worked hard to make significant contributions to this team. We believe this decision is in the best interests of both parties and wish him future success."
Shortly after the announcement of his release, Bell tweeted a photo of himself and said, "got a lot to prove. i'm ready to go."
got a lot to prove. i'm ready to go. pic.twitter.com/oDqBM62JfN
— Le'Veon Bell (@LeVeonBell) October 14, 2020
The three-time Pro Bowl selection signed a four-year, $52.5 million deal as a free agent with the Jets in March of 2019.
Le'Veon Bell + Adam Gase did not = wins
There were issues from the start as rumors emerged that coach Adam Gase wasn't thrilled about the move. The signing was orchestrated by then-general manager Mike Maccagnan, who was dismissed two months later.
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports
The relationship between Bell and Gase continued to go downhill and Bell was upset that only one pass came his way during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Bell declined to speak to reporters afterward but "liked" several comments on Twitter from media members and others who commented about him being misused. Those actions reportedly upset Gase.
On Monday, Gase told reporters, "I hate that that's the route we go with all this instead of just talking about it, but it seems that's the way guys want to do it nowadays."
Bell carried 13 times for 60 yards against Cardinals after missing the previous three games with a hamstring injury. In two games this season, he has 74 yards on 19 carries and three receptions for three yards.
Bell struggled from outset with Jets
Last season, Bell was a disappointment with a paltry 3.2 yards per carry while rushing for 789 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught 66 passes for 461 yards and one score.
Bell topped 1,200 rushing yards three times in five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2013-17 while twice earning first-team All-Pro honors. He missed the entire 2018 campaign in a salary dispute after refusing to sign a $14.5 million franchise tag.
Frank Gore, 37, is the Jets' leading rusher this season with 204 yards.
Bell is the second high-profile player to depart the Jets in three months. The team traded star safety Jamal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks in July as contract talks between the two sides disintegrated.

Resident Evil 6: The zombies are back.
Please excuse the upcoming fanboyism but um…holy sh!t!!! Out of no where Capcom releases the Resident Evil 6 trailer. I'm sitting here waiting for Operation Raccoon City to drop, having no idea if a new Resident Evil was even in the works, and boom! Epic nerdcore juices flowing through my veins. If you haven't noticed, I'm a huge fan of the RE series. This goes back to the days where I used to beat Resident Evil 2 in less than 90 minutes just for fun. Back then, the games were great because they actually had to survive against the walking dead. The latter games were also fun but the element of battling the un-dead has been gone since RE3. From watching the trailer, it seems they've brought back some of those old-school RE elements as well as introducing some new ones. It's great to see that it takes place in multiple locations, has new battle styles, a character that resembles Nemesis, oh and did I mention, Leon is back! Chris is back! and the stars of the whole muthaF'n series are back, ZOMBIES!!! I hope what Leon said in the trailer turns out to be true, "It's like Raccoon city all over again."

Zambia is one of the best safari destinations in Africa, and most of the desirable animals are relatively easily seen. South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and Kafue are especially good for leopard sightings, whereas wild dog and cheetah sightings are more rare. The black rhino is only present in North Luangwa, and the white rhino only in Mosi-oa-Tunya.
The optimum time for spotting wildlife is in the dry season, which typically occurs from May to October when water is sparse, and animals gather to waterholes and rivers. The bush is less dense at this time, so animals are more easy to spot.
Wildlife Activities
If you desire a more immersive safari experience, it doesn't get more up close and personal than a walking safari.
A game drive is often the easiest, most convenient way cover a lot of ground and see as much of Zambia's incredible wildlife as possible.
A canoeing trip down some of the quieter stretches of the Upper Zambezi is among the more relaxing ways to enjoy the Zambian safari experience.
Boat Safaris
Traverse not only the land but also the water in specifically designed safari boats.
Zambia is home to a staggering 779 bird species. In Lochinvar National Park alone there are 428 species, and in Luangwa Valley reside 450 species.
Balloon Safaris
Soar like an eagle above stunning Zambian wilderness areas on a hot-air balloon safari.
Places to experience Wildlife
Found in the centre of western Zambia, Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest of Zambia's national parks. It covers a massive 22,400 km2.
The remote Liuwa National Park lies along the Zambezi flood plain in western Zambia and covers an area of 3,600 square kilometres of remote, wildlife-rich wilderness.
Lower Zambezi is still relatively undeveloped, with it's beauty lying in its wilderness state. The diversity of animals is not as wide as the other big parks, but the opportunities to get close to game, wandering in and out of the Zambezi channels are spectacular.
North Luangwa spans a total of 4636 square kilometres, offering one of the best wilderness experiences in Zambia.
South Luangwa has been dubbed by experts as one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and with good reason. The concentration of animals around the Luangwa River, and its oxbow lagoons, is among the most intense in Africa.
Zambia's Other Experiences
There is no better place to enjoy beautiful settings that offer privacy and exclusivity for the ultimate relaxing time for guests. Many of Zambia's lodges offer a variety of relaxation activities from Yoga, health retreats and spa treatments.
With a total human population of 13 million, Zambia is sparsely populated with more than 70 ethnic groups, many of them Bantu-speaking. Zambia's ethnic diversity results in rich and colourful cultures, each upheld and celebrated uniquely in remembrance of their ancestral age.
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, The Victoria Falls are one of the biggest and most renowned waterfalls in the world.

August Wilhelm Trabandt (21 de julio de 1891 - 19 de mayo de 1968) fue un funcionario alemán de las SS durante la era nazi. Comandó la 1.ª Brigada de Infantería SS y la División SS Horst Wessel durante la II Guerra Mundial.

Carrera
Trabandt nació en Berlín, Alemania, el 21 de julio de 1891. En mayo de 1936, Trabandt se hizo voluntario y se unió a las SS-VT. Al inicio de la II Guerra Mundial, Trabandt era comandante del III. Batallón, del Regimiento Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. Participó en la invasión de Polonia y en la batalla de Francia. Enfrentando acusaciones de contrabando tras la campaña, Trabandt fue destinado a la 1.ª Brigada de Infantería SS que estaba al cargo de la guerra de seguridad nazi y el asesinato de la población judía en los territorios ocupados en la Unión Soviética. Se le dio el mando del Regimiento de Granaderos Panzer N.º 39 en marzo de 1943, y asumió el mando de la Brigada en septiembre de 1943.

Trabandt fue galardonado con la Cruz de Caballero el 6 de enero de 1944, justo antes de que la Brigada fuera disuelta y usada para formar el cuadro de la División SS Horst Wessel. Trabandt recibió el mando de la división y permaneció en el puesto hasta abril de 1945. Tras el fin de la guerra, Trabandt fue encarcelado en la Unión Soviética hasta 1954. Murió el 19 de mayo de 1968 en Hamburgo, Alemania.

Rock Music by Peter Wicke; Rachel Fogg (Translator)
Rock music--powerful, sensual, loud, and full of energy. It has changed the face of modern music. But what is its appeal and its significance within contemporary society, and what cultural values does it reflect? Peter Wicke addresses these issues and offers a stimulating and insightful study of rock music tracing the genesis and influence of this diverse aspect of popular music. Beginning with the advent of rock and roll, Wicke chronicles the development through Elvis Presley, and the Beatles to the current music industry, its performers, and the impact of the music video. The book will be of interest to students of music history, popular culture, and media studies.
Rockin' Out of the Box by Mimi Schippers
Given the long history of feminism and its contested place in popular culture, important, practical questions arise: What effect, if any, have feminist ideas and practices had on the lives of young men and women who grew up with them? How do these individuals negotiate the realities of gender in their daily lives? In Rockin' Out of the Box, Mimi Schippers, employing the crucial feminist insight that gender is a constantly shifting performance and not an essential quality related to sex, explores the gender roles, assumptions, and transgressions of the men and women involved in the alternative hard rock scene. The author focuses on this sizable section of rock music both because it is widely inclusive of men and women and because it explicitly adopted feminism as its point of departure from mainstream music. Schippers uses the innovative term gender maneuvering to explain her observations that gender and sexuality are negotiated and always changing features of social relations. This process, she demonstrates, operates as a cultural practice and as an individual strategy of resistance to socially prescribed gender roles. Schippers, who spent more than two years frequenting alternative hard rock clubs and concerts in Chicago, conducted extensive interviews with fans as well as musicians, including Ian MacKaye of Fugazi, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Donita Sparks and Jennifer Finch of L7, Kat Bjelland and Lori Barbero of Babes in Toyland, Rose of Poster Children, Louise Post and Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt, and Liz Davis and Valerie Agnew of 7 Year Bitch. As it documents the development of a rock music genre that has so far received little academic attention, this book also demonstrates how this musical culture contributes to our understanding of the daily practices of gender relations among young people.
Rockin' the Borders by Bj Horgby (Editor); Fredrik Nilsson (Editor)
Rock music challenges hegemonic orders based on class, gender, nation, ethnicity/race or generation. This volume investigates how rock has played an integral part in the formation of identities and life-styles since the 1950 s. Rock music is used as a wide concept, including different genres, e.g. rock n roll, pop, punk, hip hop and blues. Unlike most other books on rock music, this volume focuses on how rock music becomes a part of everyday life and the formation of identities in a variety of European states such as England, Finland, Sweden and Wales, the USA, and also states that used to be on the other side of the Iron Curtain such as GDR and Czechoslovakia. Thus, it includes a comparative perspective based on temporal as well as spatial aspects that further deepen the understanding of how rock music and society are intertwined. Rockin the Borders is an interdisciplinary volume; the authors represent a variety of backgrounds: History, Ethnology, Folklore, Sociology and Sociology of Music, thus presenting us with an interesting mix of theoretical perspectives and methods."

Madeon. Where is your full-length album.
All of his singles are great. This live mash-up video blew up last year. It broke my brain. Can't wait for an album!

I'm basically copying Heather's post in it's entirety because…yeah, pretty much sums it up. Check out the video at the bottom—totally amazing.
This comment on a Metafilter thread (left by Bitter Old Punk) about the band says everything you need to know. Or you could just skip straight to the video and let the chills travel up and down your arm:
Last June or July, one of their videos gets picked up by the music blog Aquarium Drunkard. It gets the attention of one of the blog's readers, Pat Hood of Drive-By Truckers, who tracks down lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard (who is working for the post office in Athens, Alabama at the time). He invites the band to open a few shows for DBT. By October, they're headlining a CMJ showcase show. By December, they've all quit their day jobs, have professional representation, and are shopping their demo to labels. By April, they've played sold-out shows in the UK and US, their album hits #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the UK charts.
It's an amazing story. They're an amazing band. If you have the chance to see them live, do so. Elizarde and I saw them last December in Birmingham in a small club that was packed to capacity. They started slowly, ratcheting things up with every tune. By the end of the show the crowd was sweaty and gasping and transported – glorious, truly one of the best shows I've EVER seen.
As it happens, their attorney is based in Birmingham, and I kinda know the guy as friends-of-friends. He's a former professional musician himself, who played in a couple of popular indie rock bands in the 80s and 90s. During the Shakes set, I turned to him and said, "We're watching something really special happen here, aren't we?" He grinned and mopped sweat off his face and replied, "Fuck yeah we are."
And here's the capper. Because they'd been on such a whirlwind, the Shakes hadn't spent much time at home. So before the show, a whole group of old people came into the club and quietly were ushered backstage. It was all of the band members parents. See, they had picked that night to shoot their first "official" video, and they wanted their moms and dads to be there with them.
Awwwwwwwwww!
Anyway, from everything I've heard from people who know, this band is not only super-talented, super charismatic, and super soulful, they're also really nice smart level-headed people who've surrounded themselves with quality people and are intent on being in the music business for the long run.
In three years, Alabama Shakes will be a household name, you'll hear their music everywhere, and EVERYONE will know who Brittany Howard is.
And it couldn't have happened to a more-deserving bunch.
Again: the album's pretty damn good, but GO SEE THIS BAND LIVE. They are absolutely transcendent.

Q: Create dataframe out of plot of feature rank importance I have the following code which does elastic net to calculate feature importance.
dataset_path_austin = os.path.join('../datasets/austin_housing/')
file_name_austin = 'processed_austin_housing_onehot.csv'
df_austin = pd.read_csv(dataset_path_austin + file_name_austin)

X_austin = df_austin.drop(['latestPrice'], axis = 1)
y_austin = df_austin['latestPrice']

from sklearn.linear_model import ElasticNetCV, ElasticNet

cv_model = ElasticNetCV(l1_ratio=[.1, .5, .7, .9, .95, .99, .995, 1], eps=0.001, n_alphas=100, fit_intercept=True,
                        precompute='auto', max_iter=2500, tol=0.0001, cv=5, copy_X=True, verbose=0, n_jobs=-1, positive=False,
                        random_state=42, selection='cyclic')

cv_model.fit(X_austin, y_austin)

model = ElasticNet(l1_ratio=cv_model.l1_ratio_, alpha = cv_model.alpha_, max_iter=cv_model.n_iter_, fit_intercept=True, random_state=42)
model.fit(X_austin, y_austin)

feature_importance = pd.Series(index = X_austin.columns, data = np.abs(model.coef_))

n_selected_features = (feature_importance>0).sum()
print('{0:d} features, reduction of {1:2.2f}%'.format(
    n_selected_features,(1-n_selected_features/len(feature_importance))*100))

feature_importance.sort_values().tail(30).plot(kind = 'bar', figsize = (20,12))
plt.xlabel('Features', fontsize = 15)
plt.ylabel('Rank Weight', fontsize = 15)
plt.title('Feature Weights for Austin Housing Dataset', fontsize = 20)

Which outputs the following bar plot:
How can I create a dataframe out of the plot that has the 'Rank Weight' as one column and 'Features' as another. I have attempted using
feature_importance.sort_values()

But I get a list with extremely high numbers per features (such as 2.334368e-01) instead.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., in cooperation with FedEx Express, will carry out real-world driving tests of the 100% electric commercial vehicle, e-NV200, in the Yokohama area beginning in mid-July. The e-NV200 test vehicle is based on Nissan's multi-purpose compact van NV200.
Nissan will provide FedEx Express with a test model e-NV200 to use as a delivery vehicle for approximately one month. Nissan will then evaluate the vehicle's potential for the delivery of international air cargo. This will be the second test conducted with FedEx, following a similar trial in Europe during last winter.
Nissan has road tested the e-NV200 with several other major fleet companies this year, including AEON Retail Co., Ltd. in Japan and British Gas in Europe. Valuable feedback gleaned from the real-world testing will be reflected in the development of future Nissan production models.
The 100% electric commercial vehicle e-NV200 provides families and businesses with a functional and roomy interior and is intended to be a breakthrough in commercial vehicles, serving to underline Nissan's leadership in the electric vehicle (EV) segment. The model offers all the spaciousness, versatility, and practicality of the base vehicle NV200. Employing the advanced powertrain of the 100% electric vehicle Nissan LEAF on the e-NV200 provides exceptionally smooth acceleration and quietness, driving characteristics which are unique to electric vehicles, while keeping CO2 emissions zero at the point of use. Additionally, the model's enviable cost of ownership – a priority for many companies – will be a highly attractive attribute when it competes in the commercial vehicle marketplace.
The Nissan NV200 is a new-generation compact commercial vehicle suited to a wide variety of driving situations for customers around the world, including businesses, daily use, or leisure. It was chosen as the base vehicle for New York's Taxi of Tomorrow—the exclusive taxi of New York City. The NV200 first became available in Japan and Europe in 2009 and is now available in many other countries, including China and Malaysia. Future launches are planned for the U.S. and India. Nissan now sells the NV200 in approximately 40 countries throughout the world. It has received positive feedback from customers for its spacious interior, competitive fuel economy, excellent driving performance, and attractive design.
Nissan aims to be the leader in zero emissions vehicles. In addition to carrying out the development of electric vehicles, the company is engaged in comprehensive efforts to expand the use of electric vehicles and promote sustainable mobility. The Renault-Nissan Alliance has already concluded more than 100 partnerships related to zero emission mobility with national and local governments, and corporations, throughout the world. Nissan is also engaged in related efforts such as producing lithium ion batteries; developing the EV charging infrastructure and proprietary speed charging equipment; and the recycling and reuse of batteries.

This Swimming Pool is situated on a hill with a 1 in 3 fall. The site is tiered and over 50 stairs have to be negotiated from the street. Due to the difficulty of site access all materials had to be carried in by hand. The site was also excavated by hand. Provision for a fully enclosed glazed structure around the pool complicated the build by imposing additional structural requirements.
I designed a concrete shell as this could be used as footings for the room over. The structural Engineer advised to found the pool on natural ground. This advice meant that some structural savings could be made. Instead of having to use piers, a series of strip footings could be used to key the pool into the hillside. By following this concept the design of the pool became what is known in the industry as a "split level pool." This means that the depth increases from side to side rather than end to end. This has the advantage of giving a fairly continuous depth swimming lane for the entire length of the pool.
There were serious space constraints due to the existing house and garden layout, and an existing sewer easement at the rear of the property that had to be avoided. The room over is still under construction. If you live in Adelaide and are thinking of putting in a pool or pool enclosure - email grantluc@grantlucasarchitect.com.au I will make sure your pool suits your site and integrates into your garden. An architect designed pool is the difference between a suit off the rack or one tailor made..... and the best bit is that if you have your own plans you can shop around for the best price.


The past few weeks have been surprisingly busy in the world of MLS expansion. MLS commissioner Don Garber announced that Sacramento and St. Louis were top priorities while Detroit, San Deigo, San Antonio, and Austin (in that order) are also on the list of potential cities the league would like to have a footprint in.
Nothing about Sacramento or St. Louis being all-but-done is surprising. Despite its close proximity to current MLS club San Jose, the northern California USL club has shown it can consistently draw a crowd while also garnering local government and investor support. St. Louis has historically been a hotbed of youth soccer talent and its central location provides not only a great rivalry with Sporting KC, but also an easier trip for clubs on either coast.
What caught just about everyone off guard was how quickly Detroit escalated into the picture. Businessmen Dan Gilbert and Tom Gores seem to be in advanced talks with MLS, holding a (noticeably secretive) press conference detailing potential stadium plans.
Criticism of the plan has been very easy to find on social media. While Detroit is the largest market without an MLS footprint, it's also an area that is still recovering from the economic recession and decimation of the American auto industry. Accusations of the plan being predatory on a city that declared bankruptcy in 2013 are coupled with support of Detroit City FC, a community owned NPSL club that has gained a wide audience within the city.
Many fans, including a vocal part of the Northern Guard Supporters group, are rabidly opposed to bringing MLS to the city. This is likely a big reason that the press conference was held in a secret location, without fans, and without a live stream.
Thursday, MLS expansion news got even murkier as underwear model David Beckham partnered with hair model Mark Davis to promote a new stadium in Las Vegas. The proposed stadium would house Davis' soon-to-be homeless Oakland Raiders franchise. Beckham, part-owner of the ever-delayed Miami MLS franchise, was on hand to make the argument that the stadium could also increase Las Vegas' chances of landing an MLS franchise along with other soccer related things.
While the Las Vegas news isn't condoned by MLS or Don Garber (that we know of) it's still worrying to San Antonio fans to see an owner pushing the league in yet another city that doesn't have the Alamo. It's especially curious timing with the Qatari investors Beckham had originally partnered with to bring a new stadium and team to Miami backing out a few days earlier.
For now, San Antonio is left in the dark. We don't know where we stand in MLS expansion. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes with Spurs Sports and Entertainment.
But what we do know is that SS&E did not lease Toyota Field with the intention of staying in USL. The Spurs and SAFC parent organization wants MLS and have been clear about it from the start. Garber has seen Toyota Field when it was home to the Scorpions. This paired with the fact that SS&E do things behind the scenes should relieve a lot of disappointment that may have been felt about the perception of SAFC "falling behind" other cities.
It's a marathon, not a sprint. I doubt any expansion franchises will be announced before 2018 unless Sacramento needs to step up to fill the void left by Miami. All we know is that LAFC, Atlanta, Minnesota, and Miami are going to happen. Even though Sacramento "deserves it" and St. Louis and Detroit look to have an edge on San Antonio at the moment, one thing this week has shown us is that perception can change in a matter of minutes when it comes to all this hypothetical expansion talk.
If I can get on a soapbox for a moment, try to drown out a lot of the expansion talk. MLS wants a bidding war and they're doing a great job of creating one so far. There will probably be another one of these earth-shattering announcements coming out of San Diego soon. When it comes to MLS expansion, trust the Spurs. If anyone can bring it to San Antonio, it's them.
In the mean time, enjoy what we have. San Antonio FC is a club made up of great guys who are very good at their job. With the second home game falling on the night of a Spurs playoff game, now is the time to show San Antonio can support two professional franchises by filling Toyota Field. There are still some tickets available, so I hope you grab a friend or 5 and meet us at the stadium on Saturday.
We have something special. Lets enjoy it.

Food was a principle part of my operation from the time I set up in 1995. Back then I could get 55% Gp average on all my draught products and getting on for 58% on bottled beers (dream on guys) I was tied for.
EVEN THEN I was so concerned that my GP's on beer were not high enough for a catering business to make a go of it that I played down the presence of beer on the premises and made wine and spirits, cocktails and a wide range of juices, teas infusions coffees and even Hot Chocolate a prominent part of our sales pitch.
What I hoped to create was a Brasserie style operation: I wanted customers to come in and see a great big restaurant towards the back half of the building - towards the wonderful outdoor patio garden continental terrace area - which when we opened in December was still full of refurbishment items -and would come into its own in the spring and summer - with a great big waiting area at the front of the building where they could have aperitifs and pre prandials and after dinner espressos and vin santos and things like that.
What most of the customers saw was a BRITISH PUB and a great place for drinking copious amounts of DRAUGHT BEER while idly glancing at the marvellous a la carte and bar menus which looked a lot like this from Chartier in Paris
saying 'nice menu but expensive for a pub' (while some of them who actually GOT IT said 'we don't know how you manage to do things like River Cafe but for a third of the price') and the punters filled the place with their bodies and drank more beer than we could get in the cellar. We did 550 barrels in the first year.
I used ALL the cash margins from that income on doing up the garden, re- refurbishing the kitchen and re- redecorating and replacing all the second hand furniture and stuff that broke down all the time because it all took such a hammering. At the end of year two the accountants said "you should not have spent any of that profit on improvements, you should have raised a loan for that and we could have amortised it differently'. Still without an overdraft facility at that stage and with a bank who wanted three years' figures before they'd even consider a loan I nearly punched the twat.
And I NEVER fully got out of it and on top of it. So much for a Low Cost Entry into the pub trade.
I should have sold it in 1998.

Beano cartoonist behind The Bash Street Kids dies aged 89
Katharine Hay, PA Scotland reporter
Beano cartoonist David Sutherland, who drew some of the UK's most beloved comic strips, has died aged 89.
The artist is known for his drawings for The Bash Street Kids and Dennis The Menace.
He was a cartoonist with Dundee-based DC Thomson, who announced his death on Thursday.
Beano editor John Anderson described Mr Sutherland as "the single most important illustrator in Beano history".

Paying tribute to the artist, Mr Anderson said: "No-one will ever repeat what David achieved over 60 years. He was one of a kind, a genuine legend. It is the end of an era."
Mr Sutherland's wife, Margaret, said her husband "only put his pen down last month when he took ill".
She added: "Drawing was his life; it made us forget the age he was.
"He was getting older but we never noticed it.
"He just kept going and the editors remained happy with his work."
Nigel Parkinson, current Dennis & Gnasher illustrator, paid tribute to the fellow cartoonist, saying: "The nation and its children and grandchildren and great grandchildren have all loved David Sutherland's joyous, happy, teeming-with-life, hilarious drawings nearly every single week in Beano for 60 years, he has touched the heart, tickled the funny bone and amused the eyes of millions."
Mr Sutherland made this year's New Year Honours list, and had been made an OBE for services to illustration.
From 1962 to 2023, the first and last comic strip of the Bash Street Kids by David Sutherland (DC Thomson/PA Media)
After his award was announced in December, the cartoonist said: "When I entered the DC Thomson art competition more than 60 years ago, I couldn't have guessed where it might lead.
"I've been so lucky to be able to do something I love for a living, and work with so many talented writers whose words have helped bring these characters to life."
A 1988 Beano cover by Sutherland (DC Thomson/PA Media)
Christopher Thomson, chairman of DC Thomson, said: "David was a tremendously talented artist and creative and we are immensely grateful for the outstanding contribution he made over the last 60 years.
"He brought joy to our beloved audiences – children and adults alike – and to those who were fortunate enough to work alongside him. He will be much missed and his legacy will undoubtedly have a lasting impact for many years to come."
Mr Sutherland's work with DC Thomson began in 1959 when he entered a drawing competition organised by the Dundee-based company.
Although he did not win, his entry made a good impression and he was offered the chance to illustrate adventure strips for the comic.
It was at then that he began to work on The Beano on adventure strips including Danny On A Dolphin and The Great Flood Of London.
His talent was recognised and he was soon working on some of the most famous Beano strips, and understudied for established comic creators.
Between 1970 and 1998, he drew well over 1,000 episodes of Dennis The Menace.
But it was on The Bash Street Kids, which he started in 1962, and continued to draw every week for 60 years, that he created his legacy.
He drew his final comic strip at the end of last year which will appear in next week's issue of Beano, to be published on Wednesday.
Mr Sutherland was born in Invergordon in the Highlands in 1933 and was the youngest of three children.
At the age of two, his mother died, so his father, with his three children, moved to Stirling to be with family to help raise them.
Shortly afterwards, the family moved to Kirkintilloch near Glasgow.
There, Mr Sutherland joined Rex Studios where he learned about art and illustration while attending evening classes at Glasgow School of Art before going to work at DC Thomson.


"Spent a week at LeBeach apartments and were impressed by everything it had to offer.
Our two bedroom apartment was spacious and well equipped with everything needed. The location is terrific with the beach just across the road and Burleigh Heads shops a five minute stroll away. Supermarkets are nearby to stock up your apartment kitchen when eating in and numerous eateries are available in all price brackets when you want to head out.
"Great location. Well appointed for in house dining.
Very clean. Great hosts. Clean salt water pool that was very refreshing.
"Le Beach Apartments were exactly what we were looking for. Apartments have been recently refurbished are situated directly across the road from the beach and are within 800 metres of the town centre.
Great block of units right on the beach.
"Excellent value for money and while the block is obviously a few years old it still has some style and apartment I stayed in (Apt 13) are large, clean and very well maintained.

'Co-op Structure Hurt Analytics'
July 19, 2010, 9:08 a.m. EDT 1 Min Read
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-While some clearly point to the rating agencies as culprits, Bill McGuire sees corporate staff-the investment teams and leadership-as deserving of a great deal of the blame.
The president of McGuire Performance Solutions (MPS) questions whether the corporates had the skill to manage their investment portfolios. "I have always had the impression that corporates were long on looks and short on real quantitative capacity. That is no knock to them, they are a cooperative organization," McGuire said. "You will get a certain management culture that comes out of a cooperative organization. I don't think you get the kind of analytical skills that were needed."
In his own work with the Federal Home Loan Bank, McGuire has verified the agency's "other than temporary impairment" (OTTI) testing model. "In doing that I got to look at bunch of mortgage-backed securities that were rated AAA, and they were garbage. That was clear. And they were 110% to 120% loan-to-value, California adjustable rate mortgages with no documentation."
The Home Loan Bank is similar to the corporate system, in that it serves a liquidity function, pointed out McGuire, who worked at the FHLB in the late '80s and early '90s. "We would not buy a bond because someone told us it was a good buy. We would look at the thing and we would ask ourselves what is the collateral underneath the bond," he said. "Evidently the corporates did not do that. When you buy something you should do some due-diligence, and I don't think the corporates either had the incentive, or maybe the sheer analytics, to do that due-diligence. So they found themselves with incredible amounts of what turned out to be horribly performing assets."
Moving forward an enterprise risk management solution, that functions at an independent level within each corporate, should be established, he suggested. "This should be a group that independently...analyzes all other areas of risk that could be associated with a corporate, and that includes the credit risk in supposedly good bonds. We do a lot more homework on what we are going to buy, and over time we do whole lot more work than we have done on analyzing the liquidity dimensions, the credit dimensions, and the interest rate risk dimensions of the balance sheet."


In a world called to beauty, we who have been given responsibility for creation are also responsible for the beauty of the world, of our own lives, and of each other's lives.
Reading this quote from Enzo Bianchi, I immediately thought of a vegetable garden in San Gimignano, Italy. The vegetables were as you would expect—tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant—but the layout of the garden, and the obvious care given to each plant, made it a work of art. No wonder—the garden was tended by several monks of the Boze Community, which was founded by Enzo Bianchi. A simple vegetable garden expressed beauty to all who passed by. And I suspect it also reflected the beauty and simplicity of their lives.

Does this mean that my laptop can handle a DDR4 RAM up to 2400?
Your laptop supports DDR3L up to 8 GB (maximum), you should always check motherboard or laptop user manual before purchasing RAM.
That means the processor can be installed on systems that uses DDR3 or DDR4 with the mentioned specifications.
What limits the memory you can install is the motherboard and the available slots type.
Ok cool so that means that my laptop can only use DDR3L.
Yes but if the machine is the Acer you have on your signature then its already at the max memory support 8GB.
I know I was the one that upgraded the ram.

Home Uncategorized Kenari: A farm, a drink, a Big Idea
Kenari: A farm, a drink, a Big Idea
Deborah Geering
Jonathan Hosseini oversees a 7-acre farm and a beverage company, but vegetables are not what he's cultivating, and drinks are not what he's ultimately selling.
Rather, Hosseini deals in ideas. He's got a big one, and right now he is trying to get it to take root. So he's leading by example.
The idea is complex, but with apologies to Hosseini, I'm going to attempt to boil it down:
Agriculture is the fundamental building block for wealth-creation in any economy. To ensure healthy local economies, communities and neighborhoods must create an agricultural base—a farm or farms, a community garden, private gardens, container gardening—and a reliable, but simple, local distribution system.
"As the food economy shifts, you're already seeing huge amounts of experimentation," Hosseini says, citing farmers markets, online local food networks, CSAs, community commercial kitchens and local farm delivery trucks as examples. "There's a whole new sort of ecosystem that's emerging. We're experimenting with a particular set of patterns. But the patterns we're playing with are the patterns of community and neighborhood."
On a gray day this week, Hosseini walks me through his theory while he walks me around the Roswell property he is leasing and living on with his family. It's an abandoned horse farm, with three flat training rings that are perfect for raised-bed community gardens; formerly lush paddocks now overgrown with kudzu; and a treasure-trove of composted horse manure just waiting to be worked back into the soil. We stroll up a muddy driveway while Hosseini drags pine boughs over the slippery tire tracks and tells me his story.
The child of a Californian mom and an Iranian dad, Hosseini was born in Colorado and raised in Iran and Botswana. He came to the States to study mechanical engineering, then returned to Botswana to found a solar energy company. He came back to the United States and got work helping industrial companies update their corporate cultures. After serving as a consultant for UNICEF and an executive at Southwire, he decided it was time to finally put his ideas about agriculture, education and health—and how those systems feed local economies—to the test. He founded his company, called Kenari, in 2009. The word has Sanskrit roots that mean "from the neighborhood," he says.
He and his team are designing a food distribution system that can be replicated in community after community, and that holds its own against current mainstream networks.
"Wherever you go, farmers markets are competing for farmers," he says. "There seems to be an insatiable demand for good local food—it's really a supply problem. We're going to crack the puzzle of, not how to [grow], but how to encourage as many people as possible to grow as much as possible."
The company is working on an automated transaction system that would enable community members to report, price and track the food they'd grown or produced, and then sell it at a convenient location such as a corner market.
Here's how it would work: Jill grows tomatoes. One day, she harvests a basketful. She walks to her neighborhood store, puts the tomatoes on a scale, enters her ID number, and prints out a little ticket that states the date, perhaps a little bio about Jill and her tomatoes, and the price. Her account is credited for the value of the tomatoes. She places the ticket in the basket with the tomatoes, perhaps buys some of her neighbors' carrots or milk with part of her credit, and goes home.
But let's say all her neighbors are also growing tomatoes, and the price has dropped. "She may look at the tomato prices at the next neighborhood over, or the price for canned tomatoes," Hosseini says. "She may choose to go to her neighborhood shared commercial kitchen to make something with her tomatoes … so she can wait out the market."
It's a cool concept. But every great idea has to start somewhere.
That's why Hosseini is hard at work setting up raised garden beds, growing herbs and getting ready for a new crop of visitors in the spring. The fledgling Kenari farm is already a neighborhood place where schoolchildren and curious adults can get their hands in the dirt and get back in touch with our collective agricultural heritage. Hosseini sees the Kenari Company Inc.'s first product, an herb-infused beverage called Kenari, as both a revenue-generator and a marketing tool.
"Our goal is to stir things up in this community around us, to get people to play in the dirt here or to have them say, 'I can do that better.' Maybe Jill down the road tries it, and she notches it up a bit."
So next spring, if you see a Kenari stand at your farmers market, stop by and say hello. Or arrange for a visit to the farm. Jonathan Hosseini would love to talk to you about the food distribution systems in your community.


The idea of Nefiks, a tool for recording, and consequently recognition, of informally gained knowledge, was a partner project between youth organization Mladinski ceh (Youth Guild) and the Office of the Republic of Slovenia for Youth.
A system which systematically and accurately records competences of a young individual in one place was established. It follows the trends on EU level (Europass, Youthpass) and at home (regulations for the recognition of informally gained knowledge at faculties), is respected at home (a recommendation by the University of Ljubljana) and abroad, and is updated according to the latest theoretical knowledge and needs of the labor market. Index arose from the Scandinavian model and was adapted and implemented into Slovenian youth space according to the analysis and the experience of the creators.
Index is divided into six thematic areas, adapted to Slovenian youth area and engagement: Competences gained through active citizenship and responsible project work, Competences gained through work, Competences gained through organized forms of education (workshops and seminars), Competences gained in camps and through voluntary work, Competences gained abroad, Other forms of gaining competences.
It exists in a printed form (booklet Nefiks), and in web version (E-Nefiks), which is available to anyone for free at http://www.talentiran.si, and has over 16.000 registered users.
After a certain activity is noted, it has to be confirmed by the provider or employer. In printed version this is done with a signature and a stamp, and in e-version it is done through electronic confirmation with the official e-mail of the contact person and the IP of the computer, from which the entry is confirmed.
The idea of Nefiks grew from the realization that young people gain knowledge and valuable life competences in different life situations. For this reason it is necessary to record this competences in a way that is appropriate for the needs of further education and employment.
From the aspect of the individual, it is easy to use, electronic version is available to anyone for free, it motivates a young individual to learn, get engaged and develop new competences, it offers comprehensive review of their own competences and consequently allows career planning and personal growth, it represents a tool which helps a young individual to describe and evaluate their knowledge.
