I know it's spring now, so I am officially declaring this my last look of winter!
Bold I know, I've probably just jinxed us all for a freak April snow storm!
The light was really pretty in this look, we hit Parc de la Tete d'Or in Lyon after work, so I am still in my work clothes. We didn't intend to shoot a look, just walk around and then we saw a lovely wooden bridge right around sunset and so we had to give it a go!
We also filmed a little video for my Youtube channel, pop over and say hello!

Q: Troubles with numpy array operations I'm quite new to numpy's vectorized operations world,
I have a simple array of the type:
X = np.full((4,5),[2,2,2,2,2])
>>> array([[2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
          [2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
          [2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
          [2, 2, 2, 2, 2]])

I'm trying to apply the numpy logarithm to odd indexed columns simply doing:
X[:,1::2] = np.log(X[:,1::2])

but the output is an unexpected:
array([[2, 0, 2, 0, 2],
       [2, 0, 2, 0, 2],
       [2, 0, 2, 0, 2],
       [2, 0, 2, 0, 2]])

Is there any issue? Really hanks for the answers.

A: Your issue is with data types - you implicitly initialise X as integers. To fix you can set dtype in np.full:
X = np.full((4,5),[2,2,2,2,2], dtype=float)

A: The value of log(2) is 0.69... Since, no datatype was given while making the numpy array, program treated X as numpy array with int datatype.
So, it basically converted 0.69.... to 0. So, thats why you got 0 instead of 0.69...
It will convert every float datatype to int.
If you want float datatype, specify the datatype as float
X = np.full((4,5),[2,2,2,2,2], dtype=float)

>> The 95Ci Lifecycle bike has won the Good Design award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. The bike was designed with Life Fitness by Cesaroni Design Associates. The Museum's Good Design program was founded in 1950 by pioneers of American and modern design and is one of the oldest and most important design competitions in the world. This year, the museum awarded more than 200 Good Design designations in categories including automotive, electronics and household appliances. The products were judged on form, function and innovation. The 95Ci, which was introduced in 2002, will be part of the Good Design Show/Exhibition April 3 to June 13 at The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, Schaumburg, Ill.
>> BELGIUM -- A trade fight between Europe and the United States has broken out that could mean several hundreds of millions of dollars to American businesses this year alone. The European Union has imposed sanctions on the United States for the first time as of March 1 as a dispute over tax breaks for U.S. firms turned into a trade war. The lower tax rates for exports for firms, including Boeing and Microsoft, were judged an illegal subsidy by the World Trade Organization (WTO), which ruled the EU could impose $4 billion in sanctions a year on U.S. goods. But European Trade Commissioner Pascal Lamy decided to apply gradual pressure by phasing in the measures, which will hit a wide range of goods, including textiles, jewelry and toys. The sanctions are intended to prod the U.S. Congress quickly to replace the tax breaks with measures in line with WTO rules. They start at $16 million as an extra 5 percent duty on selected U.S. products in March and rise by one percent a month to $315 million in 2004 and $666 million if they run throughout 2005. "The EU's objective remains the withdrawal of the U.S. illegal subsidy," the Commission said in a statement. "The EU has opted for a response which is measured, gradual and geared toward focusing the mind of the U.S. legislature to comply."

Net income for the fourth quarter was $341 thousand or $0.02 per share compared to net income of $2.3 million or $0.16 per share for the same period of 2002. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2003, Gaiam reported sales of $102 million, a decline of 8.4 percent from $111.4 million for the same period in 2002. Gaiam recorded a net loss $972 thousand, or $0.07 per share for 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2003, compared to net income of $5.4 million or $0.38 per share for the same period in 2002. Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 50.3 percent, down from 52 percent for the year, primarily due to lower sales in the catalog division. "Our fourth quarter results were generally in line with our expectation. Sales in December were lower than expected, especially in catalogs. It was nice to see a positive operating income again, and the $2 million cash contribution from operations in the fourth quarter was above our expectation," said Jirka Rysavy, chairman and CEO. President Lynn Powers said that 2003 was a difficult year because of consolidation and changes to business strategy. She said the company doubled its sales force, added new product categories, launched new retail channels, reset store floor plans, consolidated operations and reduced expenses.

>> Guess we're not only super-sizing our drinks but also our bodies in North America. According to a recent survey of bodies -- the most complete in five decades -- Americans are just plain bigger, particularly in the waist and hips. TC2, a company based in the Raleigh suburb of Cary, used light-pulsing and 3D scanner technology to measure some 10,000 Americans of all ages and ethnicities. The SizeUSA survey confirmed that all those extra French fries have come with a price. The study was funded by clothing manufacturers, the military, and colleges and universities. For example, size 8 has long been thought to represent the measurements of the average American woman. In the clothing industry, a size 8 officially is supposed to be a 35-inch bust, a 27-inch waist, and 37 1/2-inch hip. But in the survey, white women ages 18 to 25 came in, on average, at 38-32-41, with white women ages 36 to 45 coming in at 41-34-43. Ye-ooow. Or, should we say, mama mia. The last study of body sizes was a low-tech one in 1941. The 10,000 subjects for this study were grouped by gender, age and ethnicity. The survey also collected information such as zip code, annual household income, marital status, lifestyle, education, and employment status and clothing preferences. "From looking at the interim survey data, we can see the U.S. population has grown taller and heavier, but we are growing heavier faster than we are taller," researcher Jim Lovejoy said. "If you look at the grade rules for most manufacturers today, they do not reflect what we are finding in our size survey." For more, go to www.sizeusa.com.

Otto Johannes Wilhelm Kohler (* 31. März 1909 in Mülheim an der Ruhr; † 31. Oktober 1984 in Veringenstadt) war katholischer Geistlicher und im KZ Dachau inhaftiert.

Leben

Ausbildung und erste Anstellungen
Otto Kohler studierte als Bewohner des Collegium Albertinum an der Universität Bonn sowie anschließend im Priesterseminar in Bensberg, dem heutigen Kardinal-Schulte-Haus, katholische Theologie und empfing am 22. Juli 1937 im Hohen Dom zu Köln von Erzbischof Karl Joseph Kardinal Schulte die Priesterweihe. Nach Aushilfsstellen in Mülheim an der Ruhr (St. Marien) und Leverkusen-Wiesdorf (Herz Jesu) wurde er am 22. November 1937 zur priesterlichen Mitarbeit ins Erzbistum Freiburg beurlaubt, wo er Kaplansstellen in Jestetten (St. Benedikt) und an der Wallfahrtsbasilika St. Georg in Walldürn übernahm. Im Oktober 1938 kehrte er ins Erzbistum Köln zurück und wurde nach einer weiteren Aushilfe in Mönchengladbach-Bettrath (Herz Jesu) am 17. Februar 1939 zum Kaplan in Leichlingen (St. Johann Baptist) ernannt. Am 27. September 1940 erfolgte zunächst seine Versetzung auf eine der Kaplansstellen von St. Theodor in Köln-Vingst und am 4. Juni 1943 schließlich seine Berufung zum Kaplan in Oberhausen-Styrum (St. Joseph).

Verhaftung und Verschleppung nach Dachau
Nachdem er einem aus dem Messelager Köln geflohenen getauften Juden Unterschlupf gewährt hatte, wurde Kohler am 5. April 1944 von der Gestapo festgenommen und unter dem Vorwurf des Vergehens gegen die Nürnberger Rassengesetze und des Missbrauchs seines geistlichen Amtes inhaftiert. Am 27. August 1944 erfolgte seine Überstellung in den Pfarrerblock des KZ Dachau. Bei dessen Auflösung musste auch Kohler zu einem der berüchtigten Todesmärsche antreten, in dessen Verlauf er jedoch am 26. April 1945 fliehen konnte. Er fand Zuflucht bei den Jesuiten im Haus Rottmannshöhe in Assenhausen am Starnberger See.

Rückkehr und weiterer Dienst
Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Heimat konnte Kohler gesundheitsbedingt erst nach Jahren wieder in den Dienst eintreten und wurde mit Wirkung vom 1. Februar 1951 zum Kaplan in Oberhausen-Lirich (St. Katharina) ernannt, bevor Bischof Franz Hengsbach ihn im neugegründeten Bistum Essen am 29. Oktober 1959 zum Pfarrer von St. Marien in Essen-Karnap bestellte. Dort zeichnete Kohler vor allem für den Neubau der von Hans Schilling entworfenen Marienkirche sowie des Pfarrhauses und des Pfarrheimes verantwortlich. Bedingt durch die in der NS-Verfolgung erlittenen gesundheitlichen Schäden musste er bereits nach weniger als zehn Jahren um seine Versetzung in den Ruhestand nachsuchen, welche zum 1. Oktober 1968 gewährt wurde. Nach seiner Pensionierung verlegte Kohler seinen Wohnsitz nach Veringenstadt (St. Nikolaus), wo er nach seinem Tode im Jahre 1984 auf dem Friedhof Deutstetten bestattet wurde.

Ehrung
Otto Kohler wurde 1982 das Bundesverdienstkreuzes 1. Klasse als Auszeichnung für seine mutige Haltung während der NS-Diktatur verliehen.

The Chardonnay is the strength of this vintage.
well-balanced and rigorous it has a great potential for ageing.
Tasting : The wine is notable for its remarkable balance built on intensity and depth. The blend is generous : the taste lingers on, is tender and warm. Brioche and ripe pears notes compliment the flowery almond and citrus flavours.

Origine e diffusione
Si tratta di una ripresa del nome medievale "Graziadio" o "Graziadei", ricalcato sul latino gratia Dei ("grazie a Dio"); è un nome tipicamente cristiano, facente parte dello stesso filone di Amedeo e Sperandio, che era attribuito solitamente a figli tanto desiderati, ma in alcuni casi era utilizzato anche nelle comunità ebraiche italiane, come traduzione di nomi israelitici quali Anania ed Elchanan, come nel caso del linguista Graziadio Isaia Ascoli.

In Italia è attestato al Nord, specialmente in Veneto.

Onomastico
Il nome Graziadio è adespota, ovvero non è portato da alcun santo. L'onomastico si può festeggiare il 1º novembre, giorno di Ognissanti.

Persone

Graziadio Antegnati, organaro italiano
Graziadio Isaia Ascoli, linguista, glottologo e glottoteta italiano

Turning back the clock to honour motoring legacy and style
in	News	on	 18th September 2019	 with	1 Comment	Share	Facebook Twitter Google+ Email
As the south of England enjoyed a prolonged summer, the motoring world turned back the clock for the Goodwood Revival last weekend. Racing cars from 1948 to 1966 roared around the 2.38 mile (3.83 km) track to the delight of the drivers behind the wheel and the spectators in the crowded grandstands. The Goodwood Revival is the ultimate time capsule, where the tradition of the automobile and society's passion for motoring is celebrated. For over 80 years, Rolex has supported motor sport and its drive to continually push boundaries and challenge engineering conventions. Since 2004, the Swiss watch brand has been the Official Timepiece of the Goodwood Revival and the Title Sponsor of the Rolex Drivers' Club.
"The Goodwood Revival brings together the most spectacular collection of performance cars," says Sir Jackie Stewart, Rolex Testimonee and three-time FIA Formula 1 Drivers' World Champion. In the year that the flying Scot celebrates 50 years since he won his first Formula 1® world championship, Sir Jackie continues: "For me personally, it is a fairy tale every time I come back here. This track has played such an important role in my life and the Revival is the best event of its kind in the world. The collection of people who attend come from every corner of the globe, they are great enthusiasts and owners of the most evocative cars. The racing is fantastic and I love the atmosphere – it is three days of absolutely superb motor sport."
Competitive racing started on Friday evening as 26 of the world's most expensive cars set off into the sunset for the Kinrara Trophy. Driving a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB/C was fellow Rolex Testimonee and nine-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Tom Kristensen. In an inspired stint, the Danish legend drove supremely, manoeuvring the Ferrari carefully through the pack from the midfield to finish fourth. Following a busy weekend, where Kristensen also raced in the St Mary's Trophy – Part 1 and completed a number of demonstration laps, he reflects on the magic of the Goodwood Revival:
"There really is no better place to be on a summer's day. It is fantastic to be invited by the Duke of Richmond and to get the chance to drive such a variety of beautiful cars. Every time you sit in one of these valuable and well- prepared machines it is an honour and you treat every lap with the utmost respect. The cars tell the rich heritage of motor sport and it is so important to continue to celebrate that. Everyone here plays their part in the theatre that is the Revival – it really is so much more than just about the cars."
Wheel-to-wheel action across 15 races provided a truly remarkable exhibition of motor racing, while in the paddock and around the estate it was the flocks of immaculately dressed spectators, drivers and mechanics that created an equally unforgettable atmosphere. The attention to detail and the carefully chosen outfits – recreating the fashions of the 1940s, 50s and 60s – ensure that the Goodwood Revival is an annual tradition not to be missed.
This year the event paid homage to the iconic British Mini as over 150 cars celebrated the brand's 60th birthday. Honouring Goodwood's heritage as a RAF fighter base, historic warbirds took to the skies each morning while the aerodrome hosted a world-class gathering of vintage flying machines.
As the Goodwood Revival drew to a close, the Duke of Richmond announced the winner of the Rolex Driver of the Meeting. The 2019 recipient of the award was Sam Hancock following a display of extraordinary overtakes in multiple races.

The aim of the article is to propose a complex methodology for implementing a safety analysis of dynamical systems. The safety analysis is performed in the process of control system development, especially aiming at safety-critical processes of system operation. The methodology was divided into seven basic steps. The individual steps of the methodology are carried out in a hierarchical sequence. The step "Preliminary Hazard Analysis" consists of the PHI and PHA methods. Further, roles of individual methodology steps are detailed. In the second part of the article, the principle of safety-critical process monitoring based on models is.


The Silver Chief- Lord Selkirk and the Scottish Pioneers of Belfast, Baldoon and Red River.
Belfast, Prince Edward Island, founded in August 1803, owes its existence to Lord Selkirk. However, Selkirk's work in Canada extended beyond Belfast to Baldoon (later Wallaceburg) in Ontario, as well as to Red River, the precursor to Winnipeg. Aptly named "The Silver Chief" by the five Indian chiefs with whom he negotiated a land treaty at Red River, the fifth Earl of Selkirk spent an immense fortune in helping Scottish Highlanders relocate themselves in Canada.
Selkirk has been well observed through the eyes of the rich and powerful, but his settlers have been neglected. Why did they leave Scotland? Which districts did they come from? Why did they settle in Canada? Why did Selkirk help them? How successful were their settlements? What impact did they have on Canada's early development? Did Selkirk realize his ambitions for Canada?
In answering these questions, Lucille H. Campey presents a new and powerful case for re-assessing the achievements of Selkirk and his settlers. Using a wealth of documentary sources, she reconstructs the sequence of emigration from Scotland to the three areas of Canada where settlements were founded. She shows that emigration took place in a carefully planned and controlled way. She reveals the self-reliance, adaptability and steely determination of the Selkirk settlers in overcoming their many problems and obstacles. They brought their rich traditions of Scottish culture to Canada and, in doing so, helped to secure its distinctively Canadian future. Together, Selkirk and his settlers succeeded against overwhelming odds and altered the course of history.
