Q: Angular ui sortable: can't drag correctly in nested items Hi I've implemented nested sortable items setup in surveys module in my project. i.e. I can sort Individual questions AND I can create an empty group, drop a single question into it and like this I fill up the group and I can sort the groups in hierarchy as well. Like this:
Surveys Module
Here's my code:
HTML:

         <input type="checkbox" ng-value="0" ng-model="question._selected" />

         {{question.name}}

      {{showQuestionTypeText(question.type)}}
      <button type="button" ng-if="question.type != allQuestionTypes.group" class="button btn btn-success btn-sm" ng-click="$event.stopPropagation(); editSurveyQuestion(question, $index)">
      {{app.translateByLocale('label_edit')}}
      </button>
      <button type="button" ng-if="question.type == allQuestionTypes.group" class="button btn btn-success btn-sm" ng-click="$event.stopPropagation(); openModal(question, $index)">
      {{app.translateByLocale('label_edit')}}
      </button>

      <button class="btn btn-sm btn-danger" ng-click="$event.stopPropagation(); removeGroup(question)">

      </button>

         {{app.translateByLocale('group_questions_drag_info')}}

            {{subQuestion.text}}

         {{subQuestion.predefined_mcq_type.title}}
         {{showQuestionTypeText(subQuestion.type)}}
         <button type="button" class="button btn btn-success btn-xs" ng-click="$event.stopPropagation(); editSurveyQuestion(subQuestion, $index)">
         {{app.translateByLocale('label_edit')}}
         </button>

         <button class="btn btn-xs btn-danger" ng-click="$event.stopPropagation(); removeSurveyGroupQuestion(subQuestion, question.questions)">

         </button>

And These are Relavant Functions from Controller:
JS:
function sortableOptionsGroup(scope) {

    let sortableGroup = {
        handle: '.myHandle',
        receive: function(event, ui) {
            sortingReceivedFunction(event, ui, scope);
        },
        remove: function(event, ui) {
            sortingRemovedFunction(event, ui, scope);
        },
        axis: 'y',
        'ui-floating': false,
        dropOnEmpty: true,
        cursor: 'move',
        tolerance: 'pointer',
        connectWith: '.connector'
    }
    return sortableGroup;
}

/**

function sortingReceivedFunction(event, ui, scope) {
    let obj = ui.item.sortable.model;
    let index = ui.item.sortable.index;
    let group_type = null;
    let invalidIncomingQuestion = false;

    //Group Questions Types Maintaining
    // when second and more questions are added:
    if (ui.item.sortable.droptargetModel.length >= 1) {
        _.map(ui.item.sortable.droptargetModel, function(questionObject) {
            if (questionObject.type == allQuestionTypes.mcq && ui.item.sortable.model.type == allQuestionTypes.mcq && (questionObject.predefined_mcq_type.key != ui.item.sortable.model.predefined_mcq_type.key)) {
                invalidIncomingQuestion = true;
            }
        });
        if (invalidIncomingQuestion) {
            showErrorMessage(localeService.translateByLocale("group_question_error4"));
            cancelDraging(index, obj, scope, ui);
            return;
        } else if (ui.item.sortable.droptargetModel.length == maxQuestionLimitInGroup) {

        } else if (incomingMcqQuestionValidation(ui.item.sortable.model)) {
            cancelDraging(index, obj, scope, ui);
        } else if (incomingCustomQuestionValidation(ui.item.sortable.model)) {
            cancelDraging(index, obj, scope, ui);
        } else {
            let groupQuestionId = ui.item.sortable.model.id;
            scope.questions.data.forEach(function(item, i, val) {
                if (scope.questions.data[i].id == groupQuestionId) {
                    scope.questions.data[i].isSelected = false;
                }
            });
        }

    }
    // when first question is added:
    else if (incomingMcqQuestionValidation(ui.item.sortable.model)) {
        cancelDraging(index, obj, scope, ui);
    } else if (incomingCustomQuestionValidation(ui.item.sortable.model)) {
        cancelDraging(index, obj, scope, ui);
    } else {
        let groupQuestionId = ui.item.sortable.model.id;
        scope.questions.data.forEach(function(item, i, val) {
            if (scope.questions.data[i].id == groupQuestionId) {
                scope.questions.data[i].isSelected = false;
            }
        });
    }
}
/**
 * invoked when an item is removed from the main group
 *
 * @param {obj} event
 * @param {obj} ui
 * @param {obj} scope

 */
function sortingRemovedFunction(event, ui, scope) {
    let groupQuestionId = ui.item.sortable.model.id;
    scope.questions.data.forEach(function(item, i, val) {
        if (scope.questions.data[i].id == groupQuestionId) {
            scope.questions.data[i].isSelected = true;
        }
    });
}

Things are working pretty fine but there are few problems.
1- When there are two adjacent groups and I try to drag an individual question into upper group, it always gets added into the lower/second group.
See in the image: I added here is the text for question in group 1 but it added in group 2. Model of group 1 is in console
Groups after dragging a question in group 1
2- I can't sort the questions within a group.
Can someone help me here on it. I've been trying quite hard on it.

A: I searched for the support by raising an issue in the GitHub repo and the solution which the owner suggested me was a bit messy. Ultimately I had to change the whole library in my code base. Here what I used..

soundbite (English)
Jurgen Bredtman, Coalition Press Officer (German Bundeswehr): 0'00'' – 0'038''We got the information from one of the generals of the MOP (Ministry Of Peshmerga) that the platoons we trained in January are back at the frontline. They are doing a much more efficient job there than before, so even our test course, which as the name is saying was a test, how do we do it, where do we do it, where are the locations and what exactly should be part of this education. We did it and even in this test course the results are very good. 0'46'' – 1'09'' Just moving forward, geting nearer to an area or whatever, then surprisingly at each kind of distance there could be a, suprisingly, an enemy. So you have to move quickly, to target quickly and to shoot quickly. That is the task of this excercise here. 1'10'' – 1'24'' At the beginning of our training they would have shot one magazine on one target, maybe without hitting it. Now they use one or two shots and hit the target.
soundbite (Kurdish)
Xelil Abdullah Fatah, Peshmerga Captain: 4'30'' – 4'40'' The training is very, very good, and so are the German soldiers, they are very good to me. Before my shooting was good, but now it is even better.
Abdullah Yassin, Peshmerga Sergeant: 4'41'' – 4'51'' We were facing ISIS, I have fought in some battles, lost some friends, has some friends wounded. 4'51'' – 5'03'' When we are at the frontline we see a lot of IED's. We will recognize them better now, and we'll know how to deal with them. 5'03'' – 5'13'' Here they made similar IED's to the IED's ISIS makes, as an example. That's very important to us, very usefull, so we can protect ourselves against them at the frontines. 5'13'' – 5'22'' After this training we will go back to the frontline. We will take back our new skills to the frontline and use them. 5'22'' – 5'36'' We will treat them (ISIS prisoners) as human beings. We will not treat them in the same way that they treat others. We will hand them over to the authorities. 5'25'' – 5'48'' I would like to thank all the trainers that came overhere to train and help us. We appreciate it a lot. Thanks.
Jurgen Bredtman, Coalition Press Officer (German Bundeswehr): 5'49'' – 6'31'' Okay, so you see the trench overthere, 200 – 300 meters this direction. That was the trench the Erbil inhabitans digged last year when ISIS was about 25 kilometer before Erbil. So they digged a two meter deep and two meter wide trench to secure the capital of Kurdistan here. It goes all around Erbil. 6'34'' – 6'54'' So this is a field fortification like it is trained in Germany like what it should look like. So it has some deep (parts), not everything in one line and we are able to walk, to move within this fortification. 6'55'' – 7'26'' It's not a wall or a mountain to lie on, but it's digged into the earth. Reason? If indirect fire is shot at you you can hide and cover, and even if artillery or mortar shoots behind us the danger is not as big as it would be if you lie just on the backside of a hill. 7'27'' – 7'50'' Not everything is into one line and it goes into the deep so we can cross fire. And even that is possible within this training area, there will be the possibility to shoot live fire from out of this new fortification.
soundbite (German )
Karwan Baban, Peshmerga Colonel: 7'51'' – 8'06'' Untill now the Kurds defend from something like that, a wall like that, but I think that is not right because the enemy can see us. But when you are in these they can't see. 8'06'' 8'16'' At a wall like that, one mortar can kill 20 men. But here 20 men can't be killed because it is (built) like this. A very, very good idea.
Jurgen Bredtman, Coalition Press Officer: 8'18'' – 8'47'' And, if you hide or defend out of such kind of fortification an enemy from the other side can't see your silhouette against the sky because you are down. Yeah, if you lie on this kind of hill, and you watch over the hill, you can be seen from the other side against the silhouette of the bright sky, so you are much more easy to detect then.
soundbite (German, English)
Karwan Baban, Peshmerga colonel: 8'48'' – 9'01'' When it is ready, if we finish this, I think it is a good idea to bring more Peshmerga here to train. to show them, they can look at it.
Jurgen Bredtman, Coalition Press Officer: 9'02'' – 9'36'' They are used to defend in the mountains. Peshmerga live in the mountains and from history they are defending themselves in their natural area, that is the mountains. So now, fighting in áreas with 20 kilometers visibility or something like that, or even in urbain terrain, you need other tactics then. And they are not used to use other tactics because they did not need it, so now we train them. 10'28'' – 11'15'' We had, during an excercise in our urban training area, there was a shot that left the weapon of a Dutch trainer there, at the moment the scene is under investigation so I can't tell you much, one Peshmerga guy was shot, the bullet went on one side into his body and on the other side out again, but it didn't hurt any important organs there. The guy is in hospital, his family is with him and he will recover to one hundred percent the doctors told us, and so, yeah, we were lucky. 11'16'' – 11'21'' It was a training without live firing planned and the bullet was accidentally shot.

Q: Stored procedure joining a table function? I have a stored procedure that needs to do an inner join on a function that returns a table.  Trying to call it like so:
INNER JOIN [dbo].[udf_GetBillingInfo(@QuoteID)] billInfo ON quotes.QuoteID = billInfo.QuoteID

gives an error invalid object name dbo.udf_GetBillingInfo(@QuoteID)
Given my requirements I don't think I can just make the function into a view as it has a minor bit of logic in it.  How can I join the result?  Would I have to assign the function result to a variable or something of that nature?

A: Your problem is the square brackets - [dbo].[udf_GetBillingInfo(@QuoteID)] - they quote whatever is inside as the function name.
Change it to this:
[dbo].udf_GetBillingInfo(@QuoteID)

A: Here is an (dumb) example of joining to a TVF, hope it helps!
CREATE FUNCTION MyFunc ( @p1 int ) RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
        SELECT @p1 AS a
        union
        SELECT @p1 +1 AS a
        union
        SELECT @p1 +2 AS a
)
GO

declare @t table (c int)
insert @t (c) values(1),(2),(3),(4)

select *
from @t t
left join dbo.MyFunc(1) f on  t.c = f.a

A: Can you write you function as a table function? I think you may find the answer here

What are the advantages of using a Realtor?
Homes offered For Sale By Owner (FSBO) are not listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). MLS listings are available for public view, without a real estate agent, at Realtor.com, realestatebook.com, the wallstreetjournal.com, yahoorealestate.com, trulia.com, zillow.com, and more than 20 other popularly searched home sites. Homes listed in the MLS are not only seen by buyers but locally searched for by hundreds of Realtors, doing customized searches for their particular buyers. FSBO listings do not receive as much exposure with just a sign in the front yard and a small ad on Craigslist or in the News Gazette. According to the National Association of Realtors, In 2006 12% of sellers successfully sold their house FSBO. Of these 12%, 40% sold their home to someone they already knew. This means that only 7% of all homes sold, successfully sold 'For Sale By Owner' on the open market.
Real Estate Agents generally will not show FSBOs. Typically, Sellers always pay the real estate commissions, totaling usually 6%. This means, that if a Real estate agent is working with a buyer, he is probably only going to show the buyer homes that are listed with another real estate agent who is offering, what is called a "cooperating compensation" which is typically half the commission, or 3%. If an agent is willing to show a FSBO, after securing a commission agreement from their buyers, or the sellers of the FSBO, There is still no Seller representation. This means that the Buyers agent is going to be doing the negotiating for both parties. Not only with the Buyers agent be doing to negotiating, but, most likely the seller will not have the needed disclosures required by law. These forms need initials and signatures, by both buyer and seller.
FSBO sellers usually over price their home. It is easy for a homeowner to think their home is worth more than it is. They often think that their style and décor is what the market will commonly accept, and a lot of time they are wrong, A Realtor will make recommendations regarding repairs and cosmetic improvements. A Realtor will also do necessary research to determine the fair market value of the property. A Realtor will compare listing price to sale price ratios, and market trends to determine if the subject is located in an inclining or declining market. A lot of times, Sellers will keep receipts for all the work they have done to their property. They will add all these receipts up and use this total to derive their list price is. This is not the proper way to price a property. This is called the cost approach to value. The cost approach, more times than not, will not determine the competitive price of a homes.
Buyers will feel intimidated of FSBO listings. Buyers feel intimidated when walking through a home when the owner is present. Buyers will feel shy about expressing their true opinions and discussing their thoughts with a spouse, friend, or their agent, if the seller is listening. Buyers are less inclined to make an offer if they have to negotiate directly with the seller. Buyers fear that their offers will offend sellers, and cause an emotional altercation or disagreement.
FSBO sellers can end up with legal complications. There are extensive disclosure requirements when selling a home. Seller disclosures which require the seller to answer a multi-step check list covering all major components of the property and the condition they are in, a Radon disclosure, disclosing if the sellers are aware of an elevated radon levels in the home. A lead based paint disclosure is required if the house was built before 1976. This disclosure informs a buyer whether or not the seller is aware of any lead based paint in the property. Lenders will require these disclosures to be submitted with a written sales contract. Often times a Sellers of a FSBO will fail to ask the potential buyer if they are "pre-approved" with a lender. A buyer and seller can get all the way through the negotiating process before even realizing that the buyers won't qualify for a home loan. A Realtor makes sure that all buyers are qualified to purchase the property before even stepping foot in the home. Sometimes sellers of FSBOs will forget about, or fail to mention any unpaid liens that might be placed on the property from a plumber, electrician, or contractor for non-payment of work performed on the property. A Realtor is required to research the title of the property to confirm that there is nothing outstanding that might delay or complicate the selling process. Most FSBO sellers do not know what zoning regulations exist where their property is located. If a potential buyer wants to build an additional garage, or fence in the property for horses, or convert a portion of the house into a hair salon, a seller might highlight the amble space available to do any of these modifications, however, local laws and regulations, or even Home Owner Associations might not allow for them. If a buyer and seller run into one or more of these complications, more times than not, the transaction won't even close. If it does close, it is usually at less favorable terms.
To Sum it up, Time is money. The most effective and safe way to sell a home is by using a well educated, informed, and professional Realtor. A Realtor has the knowledge and expertise to inform a seller of necessary repairs, and cosmetic work to ensure a home is being markets at its full potential. Only Realtors, who are members of the National Association of Realtors, are committed to treating all buyers and sellers equally and honestly. Realtors adhere to a strict code of ethics, and are expected to maintain a high level of knowledge, dignity, and respect in their marketplace. 85 % of home buyer would use the same Realtor again. Real estate purchases are the single biggest investment in America. Most real estate transactions today exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 tax question would you try and figure it out yourself, or would you go and consult a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal issue, would you use an attorney or attempt to resolve it yourself? No, you would consult a qualified professional who can help you through each step.

Million Reasons est une chanson de l'artiste américaine Lady Gaga. Premièrement dévoilée durant une performance du Dive Bar Tour, le titre sort officiellement en tant que deuxième single de l'album Joanne le 8 . Initialement sortie comme single promotionnel en octobre, le titre remplace A-YO et sort donc comme deuxième single.

Écriture et production
Le morceau Million Reasons, septième piste de l'album Joanne, est écrit et produit par Gaga et Mark Ronson, ainsi que par les musiciens Hillary Lindsey et BloodPop. Cette ballade relate une histoire d'amour dans laquelle la chanteuse demande à son conjoint de lui donner une raison de ne pas le quitter. D'après certains fans, ce titre traite du couple que formait autrefois Gaga et l'acteur américain Taylor Kinney.

Parution
Million Reasons est disponible comme téléchargement digital promotionnel à tous ceux ayant pré-commandé l'album, à partir du . Bien que A-YO ai été premièrement désigné comme deuxième single, il est décidé après l'apparition de Gaga dans l'émission américaine The Late Late Show with James Corden que Million Reasons succéderait à Perfect Illusion. Le titre est envoyé aux radios le .

Accueil critique
Cady Lang, rédactrice chez Time, écrit apprécier la volonté de ne pas retoucher la voix de Gaga, qu'elle décrit comme déchirante. L'équipe de Idolator félicite quant à elle la chanteuse d'avoir produite une version country de son single Yoü and I, datant de 2011. L'une de leurs membres, Rachel Sonis, approuve et décrit le morceau comme simple et doux, lui accordant une note de 8,5/10.

Néanmoins, Carl Williott et Mike Wass furent déçus, déclarant ensuite que l'atmosphère de l'album était encore pire qu'ils ne l'imaginait. Ces derniers donnèrent la note moyenne de 6,1/10 au morceau. Dans le même état d'esprit, Bowman, du même site web, désigna Million Reasons comme l'une des pistes de Joanne qui était facilement oubliable. Bien que Spencer Kornhaber, de The Atlentic, ait contesté que la chanson n'était pas mauvaise, il note que d'après lui, Gaga a négligé certains passages du morceau.

Billboard classe Million Reasons  dans leur liste des 100 meilleures chansons pop de 2016.

Performance dans les charts
Aux États-Unis, Million Reasons débute , puis ,   avant d'atteindre la  position du le Billboard Hot 100, faisant du single sa  entrée dans le top, ainsi que sa deuxième de Joanne et son  single dans le top 10. En parallèle,  téléchargements digitaux du titre furent effectués, le faisant entrer dans les charts concernant ce type de téléchargements en  position.

Companies send a lot of emails each day, about all sorts of different topics. Some may share the latest blog update, some might announce huge discounts, etc. Of course, each of these emails has a different purpose, which is how we can differentiate between several types of emails. There is no a strict classification of emails. For example, some marketers choose to group emails under the label transactional and non-transactional, while some choose to go beyond, and have even more narrow groups, so they have a welcome email, a notification email, etc.
The first major division we could highlight is based on the number of emails you send in the campaign, so we have one-to-many and one-to-one emails.
The first group of emails is one-to-many emails, and it refers to the emails sent to the entire mailing list or a certain targeted group within that list. The main benefit of these emails is that they have a huge reach, thus the great potential to generate traffic, increase conversions, etc. Even though you reach out to a huge number of subscribers, you will still be designing a single email. This could also have a negative effect because your email might seem too general and it might lack personalization. Narrow downing the mailing list based on the different criteria could help you avoid this obstacle.
A newsletter is one of the most popular types of emails. These generally contain information from your blog or website that you have recently published. They could also feature the news about your company, events, announcements, etc. By sending regular emails, you establish a connection with the readers, you bring them back to your website in the attempt to engage and convert them. On one hand, a newsletter is a very useful type of email as it allows you to combine different types of content, such as new articles from the blog, the announcement of the upcoming event, etc. Basically, you share any news related to your company. While this can be considered a benefit, it can also be seen as a drawback, because due to this compilation of information, your call-to-action button may be less in the focus. A newsletter email is usually sent according to a certain schedule you have determined.
This type of email is similar to the newsletter, but the design is much simpler and concise. In a digest email, you share the most important pieces of content in a form of a short list with links. This way you help your subscribers find your content easily, which is especially helpful for blogs that publish a lot of content. The goal is the same as with the newsletter, you share information, increase brand awareness, and generate traffic, but the design is what differentiate these two. Digest emails are frequently automated so that the software simply picks up the scoop from your blog and send it to the subscribers. This is a perfect way to keep the subscribers informed if you have a lot of content published each day. Having a schedule for sending a digest email could be helpful to your subscribers, as they will know when to expect the new digest.
As the name suggest, this email is dedicated to a certain offer. Instead of piling up content, like with the previous two types, here you focus on one piece of information only. It can be an announcement of an upcoming sale, an invitation for your latest conference, asking subscribers to fill out a survey, etc. The main benefit of a dedicated email is the ability to highlight a single event that is important to you. You will have a strong call-to-action button, which will have much more impact on your campaign. Unlike newsletters, dedicated emails are usually sent without any specific schedule.
Like with paid ads in search engine marketing, email marketing also allows getting promotion through paid methods. With a sponsorship email, you pay to be included in a newsletter of another website or company. This means a huge new lead potential, as you will be targeting an entirely new community. Of course, to make sure you are getting quality leads, you need to collaborate with companies that have the same target group as you. This kind of advertising will be relevant to the recipients and this way you will be able to get visitors who are genuinely interested in products and services you provide.
This group of emails includes the types of emails that are sent to a single user. The focus of such email campaign is not a huge reach because you will not be contacting the entire community. On the contrary, you will be focused on one subscriber only. The goal of this approach is to establish a connection with the subscriber, strengthen the relationship, and increase the credibility of your brand. A large portion of one-to-one emails is automated. Obviously, businesses will find it difficult to handle a huge scope of emails each day, which is why this process is automated to a great extent.
The main benefit of these emails is that you can focus on one user as you introduce the user to your brand and community. Usually, you will use the existing content to do so. When it comes to sharing the new content, this might not be the perfect way to go, as in that case, one-to-many type of an email would be a better choice.
This is a type of an email that is supposed to establish a firm connection with your subscriber. After someone signs up for your newsletter, sending out lead nurture emails can help them discover more about your brand, obtain even more free resources, discover more great content on your blog, etc. Since lead nurture emails are usually automated, your company will benefit from them without any extra work once you have a new lead. Unlike other emails where you reach out to the entire list of subscribers or a certain targeted group, the reach of lead nurture email is much lower, because you only target new leads. However, the reach is not even the goal here. The idea is to deepen your relationship with the subscriber and you will accomplish that by focusing on their needs.
Notification emails are also known as alerts and auto-responders. They notify the recipient each time something happens, and these actions are also known as triggers. The sender needs to establish some criteria for an outgoing message, something that will be a trigger for notification email to be sent. For example, a confirmation email about a successful online purchase, congratulations on a subscription, a welcome email, a birthday email, etc. and many other types of emails that are triggered by a specific action.
Unlike the above email campaigns, where you reach out to your subscribers, social media gives you an option to reach users' inboxes through the social media platform. For example, LinkedIn groups allow their administrators to send LinkedIn announcements, which will be sent to the members' inboxes. The same goes for Google+.
Although you do not really have access to user's email, nor could you use a software to customize the email or track conversions, this could still be a good way to leverage the power of an email campaign. This approach opens up new opportunities to grow your business. You are able to reach the people who might not be completely familiar with your brand which is a great way to gain new leads and potential customers.
The choice of the email type you are going to send depends on the goal you want to achieve. Each type has its distinctive features and it fulfills a certain purpose. Understanding the distinctions among them will help you make a better choice for the future campaigns.

Q: A kind of Poisson random variable? It is said that many are called but few are chosen. Suppose that the number called is $Poisson ( \lambda )$. Each person is called is chosen, independently, with probability $p$. Show that the distribution of number chosen is $Poisson ( p \lambda )$.
I need help in understanding the question. I tried relating it to Poisson Random Variable, but I'm not able to get it. I don't understand what $Poisson ( \lambda )$ is. I guess it is a function since it can't be a fixed number. But what is the domain of the function?
Edit 1: I don't want to know how to solve the question. I just need to understand it, so I can try it on my own.
Edit 2: I think I kind of understood the question. Here is my attempted solution:
Let $X \sim Poisson(\lambda)$. and $Y$: number of people chosen
Let $ q = 1-p$
$P[Y=m] = \sum_{k=0}^\infty P[X=k] \ p^m q^{k-m}$
$P[Y=m] = (\frac{p}{q})^m \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(\lambda q)^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}$
How do I proceed from here? I tried simplifying this but did not get anything useful.

A: Let's go through this methodically.  Define the random number of people who are called as $X$, where $$X \sim \operatorname{Poisson}(\lambda), \quad \Pr[X = x] = e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda^x}{x!}, \quad x = 0, 1, 2, \ldots.$$  Now, given that $X$ people are called, the random number actually chosen $Y$ is a binomial random variable with $n = X$ and probability of success $p$:  $$Y \mid X \sim \operatorname{Binomial}(n = X, p), \quad \Pr[Y = y \mid X] = \binom{X}{y} p^y (1-p)^{X - y}, \quad y = 0, 1, \ldots, X.$$  Note this is conditionally binomial.  So, what is the unconditional distribution of the random number chosen; i.e., what is $\Pr[Y = y]$?  To find this, we simply recall the law of total probability and compute
$$\begin{align*} \Pr[Y = y] &= \sum_{x=0}^\infty \Pr[Y = y \mid X = x]\Pr[X = x] \\
&= \sum_{x=y}^\infty \binom{x}{y} p^y (1-p)^{x-y} e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda^x}{x!} \\
&= e^{-\lambda} p^y \lambda^y \sum_{x=y}^\infty \frac{x!}{y!(x-y)!} \frac{((1-p)\lambda)^{x-y}}{x!} \\
&= e^{(1-p)\lambda} e^{-\lambda} \frac{(p\lambda)^y}{y!} \sum_{x=y}^\infty
e^{-(1-p)\lambda} \frac{((1-p)\lambda)^{x-y}}{(x-y)!} \\
&= e^{-p\lambda} \frac{(p\lambda)^y}{y!} \sum_{m=0}^\infty e^{-(1-p)\lambda} \frac{((1-p)\lambda)^m}{m!}, \quad m = x-y \\
&= e^{-p\lambda} \frac{(p\lambda)^y}{y!}.\end{align*}$$
Note that in the final step we observed that the sum corresponds to the sum of a Poisson random variable with parameter $(1-p)\lambda$ over its support, and therefore equals $1$.
We could have done this more intuitively but I think it is instructive to look at the more computational approach.

A: Hint:
There are two parts to selection, first you must be called and then, if you are called, you must be selected.
If $n$ people are selected, that means that $k \ge n$ people were called and out
of those $n$ of those were selected.
Informally, compute
$\sum_{k=n}^\infty p [ k \ge n \text{ people called and } n \text{ of these selected}]$.
Since the choosing and selection are independent, this is tantamount to computing
$\sum_{k=n}^\infty p [ k \ge n \text{ people called}] \cdot p'[n \text{ of } k \text{ chosen}]$.
Now substitute the relevant probabilities and simplify. Remember to expand
$\binom{k}{n} = { k! \over n! (k-n)!}$.

Now reading: Unusual Graduation Traditions
Unusual Graduation Traditions
The Wackiest Graduation Traditions from Around the World
22nd November, 2018
Churchill Gowns Director of Operations, Ruth Nicholls, takes you through some of the more unusual graduation traditions practised around the world today
Most people have an image in their mind of what a graduation ceremony in the UK looks like. OK the hats are a little odd, and the blingy sceptre thing - what's that about? But most graduation ceremonies follow a pretty standard format. A few countries and institutions, however, have some ceremonial traditions that are seriously out there…
Doctoral Swords in Finland
If you thought a gown, hood and mortarboard were inconvenient, try wearing the sword and hat required for doctoral graduates in Finland! The sword is a 'civilian sword' and is worn on the right hand side of the belt in a scabbard. The hat is a tall, cylindrical hat with a flat brim and a velvet ribbon around it, bearing the university emblem in gold. Usually the hat is black, however some faculties may use alternative colours. Traditionally doctoral students are expected to purchase their own sword and hat, as the hats are made to measure and the sword is engraved with the student's name and the university emblem. I've even heard of academics in the UK, who hold PhDs from Finland, have had to get permission from the council to wear their full academic dress and carry a sword at UK graduation ceremonies! I imagine they're a nightmare to get through customs...
And Finland aren't the only country using stylised weapons in their graduation ceremonies. In Poland and the Ukraine, doctoral students carry a stylised 'mace' (or baton) called a Bulawa, to signify their status.
Holding a Finger at the University of Cambridge
The majority of graduations at the University of Cambridge take place in the beautiful Senate House. Graduates line up and are 'presented' for their degrees to the Vice Chancellor or Master of their College by the person holding the position of 'Praelector'. The presentation would traditionally have involved the Praelector holding the graduate by their hand and reciting some Latin, however with the number of graduates increasing in recent years, this practise has had to be modified to speed up the ceremonies.
Now, rather than presenting graduates one at a time, the Praelector presents them in groups of four. Since he doesn't have four hands, the graduating students now have to each just take a finger instead! It's a pretty amusing and unusual sight: a cluster of students in gowns, each holding one of the Praelector's fingers while he speaks in Latin!
Fancy Dress in Japan
Perhaps one of the most famous graduation traditions is the annual fancy dress Kanazawa College of Art in Japan, so much so that the press are usually in attendance to capture the big day. As you might expect from an art college located in the spiritual home of cosplay, the students go all out. There's not a bin bag and broomstick in sight! But if you think it must be one big party, think again - students are still expected to process solemnly across the stage to receive their degrees, even whilst wearing an unwieldy costume.
'Trashing'
In lots of countries a graduation 'trashing' is commonplace. In Italy and Argentina it's traditionally it's the family of the graduate who cover them in cream, alcohol, tomato sauce and anything else truly revolting! We're glad we don't hire graduation robes to students at those ceremonies... Think of the dry cleaning bill!
In Oxford students who have completed their exams are 'trashed' by their friends who, again, get creative to make the experience as gruesome as possible. I've even heard of fish heads being dumped over a student's head! Who wants to start their post-exam celebrations with hair that reeks of fish?? In recent years Oxford University have staged a crack down on trashings as they are (understandably) concerned about the environmental impact, waste and cleaning up. Maybe this is a graduation tradition that, like the fish heads, belongs in the bin!

Even I'm looking for similar solution to add HTTP header for request sent via visualise.js library API to jaspersoft server. The solution mentioned in th answer section, only adds HTTP header for login request. I want to add it for custom validation purpose. So, all request sent to jasper server are validated via "auth_token' HTTP header by our custom validator. Requests with appropriate access right, reach jasper server and all other requests are rejected by our custom validator.
What sort of header do you want to add and why?
You can add headers into the loginFn of the authentication. Visualize does this itself for username/password authentication. Note the headers: in the request.
This is only for the initial authentication request to the JasperReports Server, which establishes the user session on JRS.
Do you need to add the headers for every request?

Q: Qt Creator +CMake+ gmock build issue"gmock.h no such file or diretory" while building project in Qt creator, no issue if build through command line I have incorporated GTest in my already existing CMake project by following this google doc
If I build my project through the command line there is no error, I am able to run UnitTest Exe. But as I need to debug the unit test, when I run the test in Qt Creator it builds it first but the build failed, throwing the error "gmock/h: no such file or directory". I am not able to understand why this error on Qt Creator only. As few stackoverflow post suggests only gmock.h should get included, that is already there.

A: It was a silly mistake. By mistake, some unwanted line was in CMakeLists.txt which was not creating the issue in the compilation. After Serigei's suggestion, I created a sample project and was able to find the issue.
I have created a git repo of the sample project. Whoever needs help can have a look at this repo

Q: How can you animate a view back and forth between two states on Android, while supporting backpressure? Let's say you have a BLUE FrameLayout and a Button called TOGGLE COLOR. Pressing TOGGLE COLOR will do one of two things:

*

*When the FrameLayout is BLUE: change its backgroundColor from BLUE -> BLACK.

*When the FrameLayout is BLACK: change its backgroundColor from BLACK -> BLUE.

This is pretty easy. Now let's say that you want this color change animation to happen over 2 seconds.
Problem: the user can then press the TOGGLE COLOR button 40 times over those two seconds. Queuing up 40 animations on the main thread is bad, and all sorts of frames will be dropped. What's the best way to address this, using say the ViewProperAnimator API?

A: You could have a flag (boolean) that is set when the user presses the TOGGLE COLOR button and unset after the two second animation. If the user presses the button while the flag is set, then make it so that nothing will happen. A simple if-else conditional can handle this.
Another way you could do this, so that the user doesn't think your UI is unresponsive, is to add a color value repeatedly over the two seconds to the background color to go from blue to black or vice-versa. If the user presses the button then multiply the color value by -1 (so then you'll be subtracting the color value).
I'm unfamiliar with the ViewProperAnimator API, but I don't think it has the capability to limit the effect of a user pressing a button 40 times within a 2 second window.

Q: Perl/HTML Basic Login So I have a University assignment where I must have authenticated users login to edit a text file. I'm trying to contain this all within the one CGI file to keep it easy.
I've written a html form as shown below:
Admin Login:
<form name="login" method="post" action="pbr.cgi"><input type="text" name="user" value="Username" onfocus="(this.value == 'Username') && (this.value = '')"onblur="(this.value == '') && (this.value = 'Username')"/>

<input class="login" name="Login" type="submit" value="Login"></form>

I also have a login sub in the cgi as below:
sub Login {
    $luser = $cgi->param('user');
    $lpass = $cgi->param('password');

    open (PASSWD, "<passwords.txt");
        my @passwds = <PASSWD>;
        close (PASSWD);

        foreach (@passwds){
            ($user, $pass, $passsalt) = split ":";
            if ($user = $luser){

            }

}

Can someone explain to me how I get the CGI to recognise the login button has been pressed and subsequently execute the Login sub while reloading the page? Obviously I'll have to set a cookie as well once I get this working but I just want to get it working first.

A: The CGI module you're (obviously) using also supports fetching the parameter list as a hash. You should try to dump this out to the see complete request:
print Dumper($cgi->Vars);

You'll notice that the Login button is a <input ...> tag like the others and behaves exactly the same way: By setting a parameter defined by the name= and value= properties.
Three additional remarks on your script:

*

*if ($user = $luser){ says: Try to copy the value of $luser into the variable $user. If this succeeds and the new value of $user is true (not undef, empty or 0), run the following lines until end of the if block. = is an assignment in Perl, while == and eq are comparisons. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Equality-Operators for more information.

*The better way of reading a file is using while (<FILEHANDLE>) { ... }. Your solution read the full file into memory even if the first line matches the user trying to login. while reads line-by-line until you exit the loop.

*Consider running PerlCritic on your sourcecode. It doesn't check for errors, but shows best practice hints where the Perl community prefers some other way. Don't try to "fix" every critic report, but check them to improve your code.

Description : Read Now The Happiness Riddle And The Quest For A Good Life by Mark Cieslik and you can download with pub, pdf, txt, doc, and more file format with free account. this book examines the meaning of happiness in britain today, and observes that although we face challenges such as austerity, climate change and disenchantment with politics, we continue to be interested in happiness and living well. the author illustrates how happiness is a far more contested, social process than is often portrayed by economists and psychologists, and takes issue with sociologists who often regard wellbeing and the happiness industry with suspicion, whilst neglecting one of the key features of being human – the quest for a good life. exploring themes that question what it means to be happy and live a good life in britain today, such as the challenges young people face making their way through education and into their first jobs; work life-balance; mid-life crises; and old age, the book presents nineteen life stories that call for a far more critical and ambitious approach to happiness research that marries the radicalism of sociology, with recent advances in psychology and economics. this book will appeal to students and academics interested in wellbeing, happiness and quality of life and also those researching areas such as the life course, work-life balance, biographies, aging and youth studies.

Q: API - HttpResponseMessage: (407) proxy authentication required Edit 1: Other Controller
public class identityController : ApiController
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> getfullname(string firstName)
        {
            string name = firstName;
            return Ok(name);
        }
    }

I have created a controller which uses an API from another solution.
Method that i use in the controller looks like below:
public class GetNameController : ApiController
    {
        [HttpGet]

        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> CalculatePrice(string firstName)
        {
            string _apiUrl = String.Format("api/identity/getfullname?firstName={0}", firstName);
            string _baseAddress = "http://testApp.azurewebsites.net/";

            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri(_baseAddress);
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
                HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(_apiUrl);

                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    return Ok(response);
                }
            }
            return NotFound();
        }

The result of response.IsSuccessStatusCode is always false. When i check the response values i see this result:
 {
    StatusCode: 400, ReasonPhrase: 'Bad Request', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
    {
      Connection: close
      Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 12:28:21 GMT
      Server: Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
      Content-Length: 334
      Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
    }
}

What could i be missing?

A:  string _apiUrl = String.Format("api/identity/{0}", firstName);

This is assuming that your url is correct, and your testapp is up and running. Even though when I hit it azure tells me your app is stopped. You will need to get your app started first, then change the string _apiUrl to the suggestion above.
http://testapp.azurewebsites.net/api/identity/getfullname?firstName=steve
Gives me this message

Error 403 - This web app is stopped.
The web app you have attempted to reach is currently stopped and does
  not accept any requests. Please try to reload the page or visit it
  again soon.
If you are the web app administrator, please find the common 403 error
  scenarios and resolution here. For further troubleshooting tools and
  recommendations, please visit Azure Portal.

So there are several things in your identity controller that are going on.

*

*the functions name is getFullName. Since the word get is in the name of the function. Any httpget request will be routed to the function automagically. Thus making the [HttpGet] redundant. This only works if there is 1 and only 1 httpget request in your controller. If there are multiple you will need to fully qualify the url like you have done

*Since youa re using the [httpget] method attribute I can assume you are using webapi2. That being the case and you are using a
primitive in your controller argument you can do notneed to fully
qualify the parameter name on your call. ?firstname={0} changes to
/{0}

The financial chief of French utility company Electricite de France (EDF) quit on Sunday (6 March). CFO Thomas Piquemal's resignation raised questions about the future of the UK Hinkley Point C power plant.
But why did the finance boss resign and why is the Hinkley plant so significant? IBTimes UK answers the five most important questions surrounding the EDF row.
Hinkley Point is a nuclear power plant developed by EDF. The £18bn project, developed in Somerset, would be the first nuclear power plant in almost 20 years in the UK. It is expected the plant will provide 7% of the country's electricity once completed.
Initially, the project was set to be finalised in 2017 but the new crisis at EDF has added to rumours that Hinkley Point C will not become active until 2025. On completion, the plant is set to provide low-carbon energy to around six million families for the next six decades. Hinkley Point C will create 25,000 jobs in total.
EDF, which is 85% owned by the French government, is to finance two-thirds of the construction of the 1,600-megawatt Areva-designed European Pressurised Reactors alongside two existing plants in south west England, with China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) contributing the rest.
Piquemal's resignation was first reported by Bloomberg on Sunday (6 March), and confirmed by EDF on Monday. The 46-year-old businessman was appointed as chief financial officer to EDF in February 2010, succeeding Daniel Camus.
Why did the finance chief resign?
The ESSEC Business School graduate stepped up after meeting with EDF chief executive Jean-Bernard Lévy several times to discuss the timing of the final investment decisions for the plant. Piquemal argued that the company would have a much better oversight of its finances in three years. Levy, on the other hand, wanted to make the decision by April.
EDF declined to comment on the reason behind Piquemal's departure, but several sources have told Bloomberg it was his conviction that the investment decisions should be put off that caused him to leave.
Why is the move so significant?
First, it is important to point out that the future of the Hinkley Point C power plant became even more uncertain when Piquemal stepped up. EDF's share price fell more than 7.5% on Monday.
It also shortly follows the announcement that of EDF's Chris Bakken, the director of the Hinkley project, is to leave the company. Bakken is leaving the French utility firm in April to join US power company Entergy.
Bakken's departure increased uncertainty surrounding the nuclear project in the UK. EDF stumbled upon problems at a Normandy-based plant, similar to Hinkley Point C.
In addition, the company has a £28bn net debt and still needs to find more than £40bn to continue 58 French nuclear plants. As EDF is already in a compromised position, the departure of a high profile executive will likely delay the Hinkley project and hurt its finances.
The future of EDF in relation to the Hinkley Powerplant, largely depends on the French government. The energy company is 85% state-backed and it has already asked the government to take over part of its Hinkley share.
It is unknown whether Levy will go ahead with the investment decision in April.


Rain clouds cover the night sky. It is raining hard, and has been for the past three hours. It shows no signs of letting up. There is a loud crash of thunder as lightning streaks across the sky. A man stumbles down a narrow alleyway. He is using the wall as support. Under his long rain coat his clothes are soaked through. His head is pounding. He grabs his head and feels a stinging pain. He pulls his hand back and looks at it. It is covered in blood. Although it would seem to make sense that it is his blood, he has a strong feeling that it is someone else's. "Where am I? What happened to me?"
He hears a voice from ahead of him. "So there you are, Taylor."
The voice was male and sounds familiar, but it is somehow unsettling. The man had called him Taylor. The name does sound familiar. However, deep down inside, he knows it is not his own. He looks up to see who was talking. The rain has caused the blood to drip into his eyes. It has caused his vision to become blurred. He can see two figures standing at the end of the alleyway. Everything around him begins to spin. Then, he collapses face first into a puddle.
He awakes in a bed. His head still hurts. The sun is shining through a window. He sits up and looks around. The room looks familiar, but he can't seem to remember from where. There is a dresser with a mirror on top of it by the side of the door. He gets up and goes to look at it. He sees that his head is bandaged up. As he looks at his face, he gets a haunting feeling. It is as if he was looking at himself through a mask. A sharp pain fills his head for a second.
He can hear footsteps approaching the door. He quickly hides on the side of the dresser, putting it between him and the door. The door opens. He watches carefully to see who enters. A young woman walks in. She is not the most beautiful woman. She looks rather plain, but there is an undefined beauty to her. An innocence that is refreshing. She walks over to the bed.
He comes out from hiding. Her back is to him and she does not notice. He asks, "Excuse me, but can I help you?" The question isn't as much of a gentlemanly gesture as a trying to figure out why she is there.
She turns and looks at him. There is sadness in her eyes. "Taylor, I thought I had lost you." She hugs him and holds him tightly.
He hugs her back to comfort her. He wonders what would make her so sad and what had happened to him that he couldn't remember. However, at the moment, none of those questions seem to matter to him because she is there. That is all that matters.
