Q: Implementing smooth colouring in mandelbrot set I am trying to colour MandelBrot using HSV values and the PIL Library.
Even after multiple tries fiddling with HSV values, I could not achieve the desired effect.
here is what I currently have

Here is the desired effect

This is the code that I am trying, It could also be beneficial if you could add some tips to optimise the below code to compute the set faster, I am new to python
from PIL import Image

HEIGHT = 500

ZOOM = 0.0
Y_PAN = 0.0

# Range of the Complex Plane
MIN_X = -2.0 + ZOOM
MAX_X = 2.0 - ZOOM

MAX_Y = 2.0 + Y_PAN - ZOOM
MIN_Y = -2.0 + Y_PAN + ZOOM

DATA = []

def map_to_scale_d(x, in_min, in_max, out_min, out_max):
    # returns float
    return float((x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min)

def map_to_scale(x, in_min, in_max, out_min, out_max):
    # returns int
    return (x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min

# Max iterations till Zn
ITER = 200

# loop to traverse every single point in Canvas
for y in xrange(HEIGHT):
    for x in xrange(HEIGHT):

        # convert to complex plane scale
        a = map_to_scale_d(x, 0, HEIGHT, MIN_X, MAX_X)
        b = map_to_scale_d(y, 0, HEIGHT, MAX_Y, MIN_Y)

        # original values
        _a = a
        _b = b

        counter = 0
        # start the iteration at (a,b) in complex plane

            bb = 2 * a * b

            a = aa + _a
            b = bb + _b

            if((abs(aa + bb)) > 4):

A bilateral drop foot patient is able to walk better immediately after putting on the Step-Smart braces for Drop Foot. This patient has Charcot Marie Tooth. Without any practice, the patient put on the braces, and we filmed before and after he tried the Step-Smart brace. After a little practice he will get better and loose his old drop foot habits of hip hiking. Keep an eye out for the follow up video we plan to do after a couple weeks of getting used to the brace.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, or CMT, is a genetic disorder of the peripheral nervous system and characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. Signs of this disease are lack of muscle, a high arch and claw toes.
In the early stages of the disease drop foot/foot drop can be seen and as it progresses there can be wasting away of the muscles which in turn can cause high arches and curling of the toes (claw toes). Peripheral neuropathic pain is also a symptom and can vary from case to case.

Despite its legacy, these days Rwanda is a country of hope, beauty and prosperity. The likelihood is that if you're on holiday here, it's to see mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Described by Sir David Attenborough as "one of the most exciting encounters of my life," for many this is the ultimate wildlife experience. Indeed, little else is comparable to standing a few metres from these magnificent yet peaceful primates.
Trekking at high altitude to see these animals can be tough, but this type of raw experience is the very essence of adventure travel. A small population of gorillas live in the Parc National de Volcans, nestled high up in the mountains and shrouded by mist in early morning. It's breathtaking, as is the whole of this verdant country. Rwanda trips with Exodus spend a few days here to acclimatise, and we're involved with various conservation projects too.
Rwanda's Virunga National Park is the best place to see gorillas in the wild. Owing to the nature of the terrain and the need to explore in order to find the gorillas, there are no paths to follow in Virunga and the guides occasionally need to cut a way through the undergrowth. Despite the challenges, the jungle scenery makes the walking very interesting, and to be close to the gorillas in their natural habitat is an experience you will never forget.
An adult male can weigh up to 195kg and be up to 1.7m in height. The gorillas are almost exclusively vegetarian and are quite destructive eaters, which makes them unpopular with the farmers lower down the mountain slopes, as they will wreck a whole field just to eat one plant. For this reason, and also because of poaching, the gorillas are very carefully protected, although good news is that their numbers are on the up.


BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Thai football chief Worawi Makudi saw his ban from the sport slightly reduced to three and half years from five on Wednesday after a ruling by world body FIFA's appeal committee.
Worawi had received the original ban from FIFA's ethics committee in October 2016. That was after he had been handed a suspended 16-month prison sentence by the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court for altering documents ahead of the Thailand football association's presidential election in 2013.
Last year he was declared not guilty of forgery and falsification by an appeals court in his country, however FIFA still maintain there were infringements on their code of ethics.
"The FIFA Appeal Committee has partially confirmed the decision taken... on 10 October 2016, reducing the ban from all football-related activities... imposed on Mr Makudi from five years to three years and six months, and confirming the fine of CHF 10,000 ($9,988)," it said in a statement.
The ban came into force on Oct. 18, 2016.


The damage by Hurricane Irma in Florida is not as bad as it could have been, billionaire real estate developer Jeff Soffer told CNBC on Monday. Some estates take longer to prepare because of the type of assets, such as a business owned by the deceased, or real estate owned in another country or province. After filing and recieving a refund on my father's tax return for the year he passed away….I disbursed the Estate Account equally between my siblings and I as per my fathers wishes as stated in his will. Our group is widely regarded as one of the elite practices in the state for its depth of personnel, experience and knowledge in all aspects of commercial real estate.
Even though the state in split equally nine ways (and it isn't a large pay out) I think they are mad it is MY mothers estate and one of them was taken off as executor by my parents years ago because they didn't trust her. Many of the lessons that Florida has learned since 1992 have parallels in the unfolding disaster in Texas, experts say, and what was already a trend toward factoring in environmental threats and climate change to land and property values looks certain to become the standard nationwide as Houston begins to mop up from the misery of Harvey.
The Florida Association of Realtors and its cooperating MLSs do not create, control or review the property data displayed herein and take no responsibility for the content of such records. Although a hurricane could still have catastrophic effects on Tampa Bay, Charles Richardson takes some comfort in what happened to Punta Gorda's real estate market after Hurricane Charley slammed into Southwest Florida in 2004. He did pass th estate over to a lawyer who I have to contact to get information which is very limited. This is a one-stop real estate website for all your home buying and selling needs in Panama City Beach, FL. Real estate brokers and sales agents help clients buy, sell, and rent properties.
The Florida Keys Real Estate Guys concept is something that Mark and I have been working on for quite a while, as we work together on quite a few transactions and created a custom Facebook Page to that effect, which has garnered us an impressive following. During the debate I made reference to the extra care scheme on the former Abraham Guest School site at Orrell.

Audi Sport confirms teams and drivers for 2020 Total 24 Hours of Spa
Audi Sport has named its teams and drivers for this year's Total 24 Hours of Spa during the first day of official testing at the Belgian circuit.
The German marque, which has clinched four overall victories during the past decade, will spread its factory drivers across three teams at this year's event. Two cars will run under the Audi Sport Team WRT banner, while Audi Sport Team Saintéloc and Audi Sport Team Attempto will each run a single R8 LMS in the twice-around-the-clock classic.
In the WRT camp, Endurance Cup championship leaders Mirko Bortolotti and Kelvin van der Linde will share their car with fellow factory driver, and two-time race winner, René Rast. The sister car will see full-season Endurance Cup contenders Christopher Mies and Dries Vanthoor joined by Robin Frijns, the latter making his fifth start for the team at Spa.
Having taken overall victory in 2017 and back-to-back fourth-place finishes in the following seasons, French outfit Saintéloc Racing also remains part of the Audi Sport family. Christopher Haase and Markus Winkelhock will share the car for a fourth year in succession, joined for the first time by Nico Müller. The Swiss racer has started the previous five editions for WRT, finishing as runner-up in 2015.
The third squad is new to the Audi Sport fold at Spa. Attempto Racing will field its full-season Endurance drivers Mattia Drudi and Frédéric Vervisch alongside Patric Niederhauser, the latter making his first appearance as an official Audi driver at Spa. The German brand is also set to be represented by several customer cars at this year's race, which takes place on 22-25 October.

Q: Text along the planes in 3D I am not able to project correctly text along the planes in 3D. Complete code and picture is attached. The red text in xz plane at x = 0 $p_Y(y)$ and blue text in yz plane at y = 3 $p_X(x)$ are not along the planes i.e. not projected on planes.
kindly guide.

A: In principle this is rather easy. Load the 3d library and add keys like canvas is yz plane at x=0, to the nodes and to the text mark style. The problem, though, is that pgfplots does additional scale transformations, which TikZ does not see. So we need to change the node scale factor, which you take to be 1.25, to a smaller value. I also had to remove the scale=2 in your plot in favor of setting some width, such that the overfull hbox warnings go away.

Online gaming like gambling in general was first conceived as a form of entertainment. Casino games must be fun and entertaining, otherwise, something's gone wrong. Playing casino games online sure is convenient, but this convenience can lead to uncontrolled or popularly known as irresponsible gambling.
Online casinos, online casino regulatory bodies and other online gaming community members have made clear statements that online gaming should be a synonym of FUN, it must not be considered a source of income or investment of any kind.
It's our duty to join the ranks of other responsible gaming advocates and further promote responsible gaming. CasinoCountdown.com likes to be a starting point or a crossroad that leads to fun and memorable moments.
Sure, as a casino player you're also in for the prizes. After all, that's the only difference between Free Play and Real Money play mode. Nevertheless, you should always keep a cool head and do not get carried away by the overwhelming excitement and what COULD happen.
All licensed online casinos have to promote responsible gaming in one form or another. Thanks to the efforts the online gaming regulators have made in the past few years, these have become mandatory. Here are a few general tips that should give you a good idea how playing online casino games responsibly looks like.
Always PLAY FOR FUN, even when you're PLAYING WITH REAL MONEY.
DO NOT allow Casino Games to be your ONLY source of Joy and Fun.
You can't always win. Do not try to recover losses.
Don't wager more than your disposable income can handle. Don't bet more than you can afford.
Set deposit, wager or loss limits, The best tools currently available!
Time is also a resource. Set session limits, check your game history!
An Online Casino is a place where you have fun, not a place where problems get solved.
Play in company of a friend or family member.
If you know somebody who's got carried away, look for PROFESSIONAL assistance.
Do not be a facilitator of underage gambling. THIS IS AN OFFENSE.
If you follow these guidelines, we don't want to call them rules, you're in the safe zone.
How Do Online Casinos Promote Responsible Gaming?
Online casinos that are licensed are required to promote responsible gaming, in other words, it's mandatory. However, even before it was made mandatory by law, there were many online casinos which proudly promoted responsible gambling, for which we salute them.
The United Kingdom has the most advanced online gaming rules and regulations, which make it an efficient and effective online gaming market. The UKGC is the main regulatory body, and the driving factor of responsible gaming in the UK, but it's also a role model for other regulators.
Online casino operators promote responsible gambling both passively and actively. Passive actions are the information that's displayed, carefully crafted banners which promote online gaming as a fun and entertaining activity, basically, anything that's not directed a player specifically. Active actions are the tools provided, such as reality checks, deposit limits, loss limits and the tests that players can take themselves to see if they're practicing responsible gaming.
Self-Exclusion – It's considered to be an extreme measure by many, but we have to agree that it's much needed in some cases. Are you having a bad spree? Do you think you might break your principles? Has online gaming done harm to you in any way? You can self-exclude yourself. Upon taking this action, you will not be allowed to play in a given casino, or a casino group.
Deposit & Session Limits – These are probably the best tools players have at their disposal, along with wager and loss limits. In simple words, once you set these limits, you can relax and enjoy your favorite casino games as much as you please. The limits you've preset will take good care of you. However, make sure they're not too loose.
Reality Check – They're great for slot players, but they can also come in handy for poker players and other table game players. A notification window pops up with a message reminding you how long have you been playing. These can be customized, and some show the amount you've wagered or how much you've won/lost.
Access to Game History – It might sound counterintuitive, or at the very least, unnecessary, but an overview of your game history, how much you've played, what you've played and for how long has a positive effect and definitely is in line with responsible gaming.
Responsible Gaming Self-test – It's better to prevent than to treat. This applies to many things, including risky behavior such as excessive gambling. You can find a number of different tests, which, although not clear-cut, will point you in some direction, if you're playing online casino like a responsible adult.
Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Individuals – Underage gaming was tackled with the latest wave of regulations which took place mid 2017, which directly affected advertising and removing any pop culture references, or content that might be appealing to children. Only 18+ individuals are allowed to join online casinos. This is one of the reasons why online casinos require personal identification documents.
Informing the Casino Players about the Potential Problem – There are casino players that are not aware of the issue. There are people who don't take it seriously.
Since the moment online gaming has become relevant a number of responsible gaming organizations emerged. Many countries have their own national organizations that promote responsible gaming practices. There are a few which have an international presence. We can even say that they have a global influence.
In case you feel the need for professional guidance, or you need to consult, do not hesitate to reach out to any of these. It doesn't necessarily need to be you, it can be a friend, a relative or maybe another online casino player you've met on an online platform, seek help immediately. As always, CasinoCountdown is always available to you in case you have any kind of question or assistance regarding online gaming in general, including responsible gaming. We will be happy to assist!

US agency seeks to speed up Native American land decisions
BILLINGS, Mont. — U.S. Interior Department officials on Tuesday moved to reverse actions taken under President Donald Trump that they said had hindered efforts by Native American tribes to establish, consolidate and govern their homelands.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland issued an order that allows regional officials within the Bureau of Indian Affairs to approve the transfer of private land that's not on a designated reservation into federal trust for tribes. Putting land into trust gives the federal government legal title to the property, while allowing tribes or individual Native Americans to use it for their own interests and not have to pay state and county taxes.
Interior officials in 2017 adopted a policy that said off-reservation trust land decision had to be made by the assistant secretary at the agency's headquarters in Washington. The change was opposed by the National Congress of American Indians, which said it would freeze off-reservation acquisitions and had been adopted without tribal consultation.
Haaland said in a statement that rescinding the policy will empower tribes to determine how their land is used.
"We have an obligation to work with tribes to protect their lands and ensure that each tribe has a homeland where its citizens can live together," said Haaland, the first Native American to lead a White House Cabinet agency.
The order and a pair of related legal opinions issued by Interior Deputy Solicitor Robert Anderson are meant to speed up decisions on more than 1,000 pending applications from tribes across the U.S. that are seeking to put more than 200,000 acres (81,000 hectares) of land into trust. Applications have sometimes lingered for years, costing tribes hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal expenses and other costs, officials said.
Anderson also withdrew an opinion issued in Trump's last day in office that said Interior didn't have authority to take land into trust in Alaska.
Whether land is in trust has broad implications for whether tribal police can exercise their authority, for tribal economic development projects to attract financing and for the creation of homelands and government offices for tribes that don't have dedicated land.
The Trump administration put 75,000 acre (30,300 hectares) into trust over four years, versus more than 560,000 acres (226,600 hectares) in the eight years of the Obama administration, Interior officials said.
The trust land system was adopted in 1934, when Congress passed the Indian Reorganization Act in response to more than 90 million acres (36.4 million hectares) of tribal homelands that had been converted into private land under the 1887 Allotment Act.
Approximately 56 million acres (22.7 million hectares) are currently in trust. Combined that's an area bigger than Minnesota and makes up just over 2 percent of the U.S.

Best tea, Paris
Mariage Frères tea tasting
Want to go on an unforgettable cultural journey? To places where some of the best teas in the world are cultivated? The Mariage Freres tea tasting workshop carries you away for two hours, and make you taste the different teas while you learn about their origin, qualities and more. I tried it and here is what I found out.
You can choose between different Mariage Frères tea tasting workshops: Some for those who haven´t any tea knowledge yet and want to start from scratch with a tea tasting of 11 different teas. Or one where you taste 7 of the most prestigious teas. You can also choose to dive into the secrets behind a particular kind of tea and learn more about that one only. Which is what I did.
I tried the Darjeeling tea tasting workshop, where I was presented 9 Grand Cru Darjeeling teas…
It was fantastic! A real spiritual journey to the Darjeeling: an Indian city located in the foothills of the Himalayas, growing between 2000 and 3000 meters above sea level, where you find the perfect conditions for cultivating this tea…
In front of us our glasses were lined up. Ready to be filled up with some of the best tea from the Darjeeling…
What I love about the Mariage Frères tea club / workshop is that the ambassadors have travelled around the world, to places where roads aren´t made for cars, and it´s almost impossible to go to…to find the best tea producers and assure us the highest quality within tea.
I started with the Royal Glenburg tea, a white tea from India. This tea has been cultivated in an altitude of 1000 meters, close to the skies, where you find the perfect conditions for this tea, with climatic variations consisting of both humidity and sunshine. The Royal Glenburg was served in a champagne class to show its champagne-like color. A refined, elegant and dry tea with a touch of exotic fruits such as litchi.
The next tea was a Namring Queen upper…a young tea from the Darjeeling where people take their time to gather the best of the best when it comes to tea leaves, and cultivating them under the perfect conditions: With heavy rain falls just before Spring, and sunshine right after…creating a quality tea with lots of shades…
The Ambootia 2017 tea from India is one of the first great Darjeeling teas found by Mariage Frères. The tea producer uses biodynamic techniques with no pesticides and picks the leaves by hand to make sure the leaves aren´t broken in the process. This leaves a tea with amazing aromas.
The Happy Valley 2017 tea is cultivated in 2100 meters altitude, higher than the skies. Which makes it difficult to reach. The mist surrounds the tea plants so the producers must get up early in the morning to pick the leaves…Some of these plants date more than 150 years. A fabulous tea: Soft with notes of fruit. I was very fond of this one.
The Chongtong 2017 tea is also made on quality leaves: the ones you´ll find in the top of the branch. The result is a nice tea with notes of fruit and abricot. The ambassador told us that the people who worked in the tea gardens were so polite and friendly that he felt like he had known them forever.
The last teas were great as well…especially the Brume d´Himalaya tea. A haute couture tea, that like wine changes from year to year. Its unique and brilliant caracter makes it very exclusive. It has to be picked at night, in the mist, just before the rain falls. to assure its fine taste. This was one of my favorites.
If you want to try the tea club / workshop yourself you can find it here. It´s the perfect gift for someone you care for.

The Discovery of These 10 Prehistoric Women Has Intrigued Anthropologists for Years
The world we live in is full of history buried deep in its surface, waiting to be discovered. Even the sand, the water, some plants and trees are as old as history itself.
With each new discovery, we learn more about the life of prehistoric humans. And the discovery of these 10 women might just be the most intriguing of all.
1. Minnesota Woman
Discovered near a road construction site in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, it was determined that Minnesota Woman's remains were at least 8,000 years old. Some construction crew wanted to just discard the bones and keep on working, but crew member Carl Steffen insisted they make "a man out of it." The bones turned out to be that of a woman.
Scientists believed that she was a hunter as she carried a dagger made from an elk's horn. She was also wearing a shell pendant, believed to be a talisman, made from a snail local only to Florida. Broken clam and mussel shells covering Minnesota woman's body and the fact that the construction site where she was discovered was an extinct glacial lake, made scientists to conclude that she drowned. Her body was amazingly preserved under a layer of sediment at the lake's bottom, with her skeleton still mostly intact. She was later reburied by the Sioux tribe in 1999.
2. The Hobbit
The "hobbit" 30-year-old female whose remains were uncovered in the Liang Bua cave on the remote Indonesian island of Flores in 2003. She's not what you'd call pretty, but she is definitely distinctive," said anthropologist Susan Hayes.
She had lived 18, 000 years ago, at a time when modern man was colonizing the rest of the world. With a height of 3 feet, the Hobbit or Homo floresiensis is believed to be biologically closely related to modern humans. The female hobbit's skeleton is almost intact, and bones of different individuals from the species have also been discovered, astonishing scientists who previously believed that Homo Sapiens were the only human species walking the earth tens and thousands of years ago.
Homo floresiensis has a brain the size of a grapefruit - closer to brain size of today's chimpanzee. Yet they were species who lit fire, made stone tools and hunted in groups. Some scientists even suggest that the Hobbit is actually a modern human with Down's Syndrome, a suggestion that sparked massive controversy.
3. Taoua
Taoua's 1000-year-old mostly intact skeleton was found on a beach in White Bay, Carribean in 2011.
Scientists believe she died of blood poisoning from a tooth decay. She was also found with several broken ribs, although they were already healed when she died. Her joints showed signs of severe use and she has a deformed spine, indicating osteoarthritis. Based on the findings on her skeleton, Taoua seemed to have lived a very rough life, but an otherwise healthy one.
4. Penon Woman
Penon woman died 13,000 years ago during the last ice age, at the age 26. Her skeleton was discovered in Mexico City, but the cause of her death still remains a mystery.
Her bones showed that she lived a healthy life, showing no signs of malnutrition. Interestingly, her skull, which was rather long and narrow, doesn't resemble modern native American skulls or even the skulls of other very early American fossil remains, but her DNA conclusively linked her to Native Americans.
Mother's 7,700-year-old remains were discovered in Siberia in 1997. She is considered the first example of a woman who died by childbirth and may be the oldest confirmed mother of twins. You see, the tiny bones of two babies were found inside Mother's womb. During the delivery of the first baby, its feet got stuck causing the death of all three.
The young mother, was buried lying on her back with several marmot teeth beside her. She is believed to be a member of a transient hunter-gatherer group, who seldom have formal cemeteries.
6. The Arlington Springs Woman... or Man?
In 1959, the remains of the Arlington Springs man was discovered in California. However, it was later discovered that the Arlington Springs man is actually a woman. But in 2006, the scientists who had determined it was a woman 40 years earlier, redacted their claim and stated that it really was a man. Make up your minds, guys.
Either way, the Arlington Springs human proved that prehistoric man used boats, which supported the theory that early Americans moved by sea rather than by land. The Arlington Springs person probably lived with a tribe of fishermen and scavengers rather a group of big game hunters.
7. Lucy
Lucy's skeleton was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 and is believed to be 3.2 million years old. She's 3.5 feet tall and was the oldest known human skeleton until the discovery of Ardi.
Lucy is considered the most famous fossil of all time, and rightly so, considering that her discovery revolutionalized the way we think about human evolution. Before 1974, we believed that human intelligence predated our ability to walk upright, but Lucy proved that it was actually the opposite.
Lucy had a small brain, long arms, short legs and quite a large belly. As a fully grown 21-year-old female, she's just about 3.5 feet tall and only weighed 27 kilograms. Not quite near the statistic of modern adult women. But the structure of Lucy's pelvis and knees suggested that she walked on two legs, placing her in the human category. Lucy's human-like wisdom tooth are among the things that were used to determine her age.
8. X-Woman
X-woman lived in Siberia 40,000 years ago. The only part of her that was found was her pinky finger. Actually, scientists aren't 100% sure that the pinkie finger belonged to a woman. Further studies made anthropologists believe that the pinkie finger actually belongs to a child.
X-Woman marks the first time a new type of human species has been discovered through DNA testing only. And the DNA extracted from X-Woman's finger is distinctly different from DNA taken from Neanderthals or from modern humans, which suggests that a third type of human species exists. The new species is called H. Denisovans after the cave X-Woman was discovered (see photo below).
9. Ardi
The Ardipithecus ramidus fossil or Ardi's remains were found in 125 separate pieces, which included her skull and teeth. Ardi's remains are 4.4 million years old, making her the oldest hominid skeleton ever found.
Ardi's about 4 feet tall and weighs about 50 kilograms. She had a small brain but very long arms and fingers. Her opposable big toe allows her to moved through the trees by holding onto branches. Ardi walked upright.
The discovery of Ardi disproved the theory that humans have evolved from early chimps. We now know that humans and chimps have separately evolved from a common ancestor.
10. The Red Lady
The Red Lady was found in Spain and is 18,700 years old. Her bones were found covered in a pigment called ochre, hence the name Red Lady. The pigment, which did not come from a local source, was probably used as part of a burial ritual or used to preserve the body. Her body was found buried in a small space at the back of the cave - but only after it had decomposed. Meaning, she wasn't buried immediately after death. The Red Lady was give an elaborate burial, suggesting that she might be special in some way.

Подготовительные курсы (Подготовительное отделение) предназначены для групповой дополнительной подготовки по профилирующим дисциплинам перед вступительными экзаменами в высшее учебное заведение. Слушатели подготовительных курсов называются абитуриентами.

Традиционно, в России подготовительные курсы ориентированы на школьников последнего года обучения (полное среднее образование 10 или 11 классов).

Чаще всего занятия проводятся в будние дни в вечернее время, реже — по субботам. Объёмы курсов могут составлять порядка 4 аудиторных часов в неделю на протяжении нескольких месяцев.

Обычно обучение ведётся на учебных площадях вуза.

Среди положительных аспектов подготовительных курсов для абитуриентов следует отметить следующие:
 Абитуриент получает типовой набор знаний по профилирующим предметам будущей профессиональной подготовки, который является достаточным для сдачи вступительных испытаний в ВУЗ, кроме того, в процессе обучения абитуриент не только знакомится с примерными экзаменационными заданиями, но и получает практический опыт их решения.
 Абитуриент, окончивший подготовительные курсы приобретает дополнительное психологическое преимущество к вступительным испытаниям перед прочими абитуриентами.

Среди отрицательных аспектов, можно отметить возрастающую учебную и нервную нагрузку на абитуриента.

Механизм подготовительных курсов в российских высших учебных заведениях претерпел значительные изменения с введением в 2001 году Единого государственного экзамена.

Примечания

Поступление в вуз


With a new restaurant opening up every week in San Francisco, it's hard to pick our favorites from among the throngs. Still, we managed to wrangle the Bay Area's best dishes, whose flavor profiles set them apart from the crowd. Bon appetit!
Scooch over, Saison. Excusez nous, Atelier Crenn. There's a new fancier-than-thou kid in town. Charin, popping up every few weeks at the Stable Café (the original home of Saison), is a haiku of a restaurant with culinary definitions on its self-important website and vague "inspirations" on its incomprehensible menu. Dishes such as "Flora, a raw ecosystem" and "Showing signs of age II" (fermented cherry, bergamot, celery) are all devised by chef (and apparent philosopher) Charles-C Onyeama (formerly of Benu, Manresa, and SPQR). What does it all mean? Who the hell knows really. But diehard gastronomes will need to see it for themselves. — C.H.H. // 2128 Folsom St. (Mission); sign up for updates and seatings at charinsf.com.
Drawing from Basque traditions, this 49-seat restaurant encourages convivial dining with its large communal table and white marble bars where regulars stand, Spanish style, for a small bite with a glass of sherry. The main offerings are traditional pintxos, small plates and larger cazuelas, inspired by chef Pollnow's experiences as a young chef cooking in Spain, with regional Northern California influences thrown into the mix. There's also a salt-grilled rib eye for two, if small plates just aren't enough for the red-blooded Americans among us. — S.M. // 2170 Market St (Mid-Market), aaxtesf.com.
Want the full brunch experience? Sit down for Latin American–inspired fare at Bar Vero, which promises to bust your diet with strong Highwire coffee, munchies from Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, and drool-worthy horchata pancakes (made with horchata, cajeta, sauteed banana, toasted coconut, and pure maple syrup). Then get ready for a laid back day on the couch. —I.M // 4230 18th St. (Castro), barvero.com.
Stylish wine bar Union Larder (from the folks behind Little Vine) is blowing up Russian Hill, and their game is tight. Not only are the wines well chosen and food friendly (Revolution chenin blanc, we're looking at you), but you can power up with an array of oysters on the half shell, a sick uni pâté, and their house-marinated boquerones. Pork Reuben, oh yeah. — S.M. // 1945 Hyde St (Russian Hill), unionlarder.com.
Munchery's colorful and creative entrees, desserts, appetizers, and drinks offer restaurant-quality food with no need for the pomp and circumstance (or putting on of pants) that comes with going out. Each of their homemade meals—think kimchi burgers, pulled pork sliders, roasted chicken, and Mexican spiced brownies for dessert— come pre-cooked by some of SF's best chefs and are delivered straight to your door.

Market participants violate existing rules governing the media sector in order secure a competitive advantage. In his dissertation, Martin Lose examines judicial subjects that interface the breach of law according to § 3a UWG (Act Against Unfair Practices) and the information and communication law.
The competition courts (at the courts) deal with facts of cases on a daily basis for which they have to determine whether a market participant gained – consciously or unconsciously – illegitimate advantage under competition law by committing a breach of the law. This also includes facts of cases that show a significant breach of law in information and communication law. The dissertation covers the interface of existing judicial subjects and, thereby, focuses particularly on the Interstate Treaty on Broadcasting and Telemedia, the Telemedia Act as well as the Data Privacy Law.
Elements of the breach of law have always been part of applied legal provisions of the unfair competition law. The competition courts (at the courts) deal with facts of cases on a daily basis for which they have to determine whether a market participant gained – consciously or unconsciously – illegitimate advantage under competition law by committing a breach of the law. This also includes facts of cases that show a significant breach of law in information and communication law.
The most prominent examples of the past years for such a proceeding is the legal dispute concerning the design of the app of the news programme "Tagesschau" and, hence, the programming responsibilities of public service broadcasting beyond the broadcasting/dissemination/distribution of radio and television programmes that went through all appeal stages up to the Bundesgerichtshof [Federal Court of Justice]. Competing platform operators argue over the compliance with regulation of data and consumer protection.
This PhD project examines the judicial subjects emerging at this interface. This includes the possible binding effects of legal decisions unknown to the course of law and possible regulatory permits, aspects of communication under constitutional law when interpreting the unfair competition law along with the relation between the breach of law and the European legislation that pervade not only the unfair competition law but also many aspects of the information and communication law. Thereby, the project focuses on the Interstate Treaty on Broadcasting and Telemedia, the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors, the Telemedia Act as well as the Data Privacy Law in particular.

Q: Confusion Matrix in Keras+Tensorflow Q1
I have trained a CNN model and saved that as model.h5. I am trying to detect 3 objects. Say, "cat", "dog" and "other". My test set has 300 images, 100 from each category. First 100 is "cat", 2nd 100 is "dog" and 3rd 100 is "other". I am using Keras class ImageDataGenerator and flow_from_directory. Here is sample code:
test_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255)
test_generator = test_datagen.flow_from_directory(
        test_dir,
        target_size=(150, 150),
        batch_size=20,
        class_mode='sparse',
        shuffle=False)

Now to use
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
cnf_matrix = confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred)
I need y_test and y_pred. I can get y_pred using following code:
probabilities = model.predict_generator(test_generator)
y_pred = np.argmax(probabilities, axis=1)
print (y_pred)

[0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1
 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2
 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1
 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2
 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
 2 2 2 2]

Which is basically predicting the objects as 0,1 and 2. Now I know that first 100 object (cat) is 0, 2nd 100 object (dog) is 1 and 3rd 100 object (other) is 2. Do I create a list manually using numpy where first 100 point is 0, 2nd 100 point is 1 and 3rd 100 point is 2 to get y_test? Is there any Keras class that can do it (create y_test)?
Q2
How can I see the wrongly detected objects. If you look into print(y_pred), 3rd point is 1, which is wrongly predicted. How can see that image without going into my "test_dir" folder manually?

A: Since you're not using any augmentation and shuffle=False, you can simply get the images from the generator:
imgBatch = next(test_generator)
    #it may be interesting to create the generator again if
    #you're not sure it has output exactly all images before

Plot each image in imgBatch using a plotting library, such as Pillow (PIL) or MatplotLib.
For plotting only the desired images, compare y_test with y_pred:
compare = y_test == y_pred

position = 0
while position < len(y_test):
    imgBatch = next(test_generator)
    batch = imgBatch.shape[0]

    for i in range(position,position+batch):
        if compare[i] == False:
            plot(imgBatch[i-position])

    position += batch

Brokers Dealing with Soft Market, 'Market Fatigue' in Medical Professional Liability
Powered by InsuranceJournal.tv
Are insurance brokers experiencing "market fatigue" in the medical professional liability line of insurance right now?
Could be, according to Daniel Nash, senior vice president of Field Operations and Business Development for Ironshore.
Even though pricing in the market is soft, there currently is an excessive number of insurance carriers in the space.
"There is so much capacity, it is affecting the market. That's what keeping the prices, to me, artificially depressed," Nash said. With the high numbers of carriers in this space, and more coming in everyday, Nash surmised that it's very likely brokers could be experiencing what he termed "market fatigue."
"Competition is always good, always good for customers to keep the prices as low as possible, but at some point some of these companies, and I won't name any of those specific companies, but their combined ratios are in excess of 100 percent," Nash said in an interview with Insurance Journal. "You can't make money over a 100 percent unless the investment returns are there and they're not there today."
It's challenging to find the right pricing for the right risk, Nash said. "You have to be more thoughtful about your business, what you're going to do. You want to be thoughtful about getting more business, but you also have a profitability concern you have to maintain and also you want to be there to pay the clients."
Brokers need to be thoughtful too, he said. Because there are so many markets to choose from and the customer typically doesn't have the skill set to determine which of the 60-plus markets they should consider.
"The broker has to be more thoughtful about which markets they bring to bear for that customer — do they like that particular risk, are they going to pay claims? What's their financial strength for that company, and what has their history been in that particular space?" he said.
In figuring out which markets to bring forward to their clients brokers also need to keep in mind what kind of relationship the customer wants. "Some customers are partnership customers; they want to work with one or two carriers. … Other customers are price shoppers and will be out in the market every year," Nash said.
Not only do brokers need to be able to assess the markets and the appropriateness for a given customer, but they also need to be able to understand the client's exposures and clearly articulate that risk to the underwriters — what the customer is and what they like.
"The broker has to know their customer, explain what the real exposure is so we can understand and give them the best terms and conditions available, so everyone is happy at the end of the day," Nash said.
A Soft, Profitable Market
The medical professional liability (MPL) line of insurance is a soft, but profitable market, and has been so for years. So does that make the soft market in MPL the "new normal?"
That was the question raised during a panel discussion on market conditions at the PLUS Medical Professional Liability Symposium in Chicago in April.
The loss ratio in the medical professional liability line hasn't been above 100 for a number of years, according to Paul McKeon, chief underwriting officer and executive vice president, Transatlantic Holdings.
There's been "unbelievable profitability for this line of business," said McKeon, the panel's moderator. And the picture is "still rosy," he added.
While the market is expected to continue in a profitable vein for a number of reasons, it's not without its challenges, according to A.M. Best. In a special report released in early May, the ratings agency confirmed that the line was profitable in 2015 but reported the industry's net income fell by 36.6 last year, to around $1.1 billion.
However, despite that deterioration medical professional liability is expected to continue to be profitable with strong capitalization at least in the midterm, A.M. Best said in its report, "Strong But Declining Profitability in 2015 for Medical Professional Liability Sector."
The report noted some of the pressures on the market: changes in healthcare delivery; tort reform; new medicines and surgical procedures; solo practicing physicians moving to group or hospital employment; cyber security; an influx of insureds into the healthcare system; strong competitive market pressure and low interest rates.
Still, it is a time of stable pricing and profitability, according to Mathew Carletti, managing director at the investment bank, JMP Securities LLP. A participant in the PLUS Medical PL panel discussion, Carletti acknowledged that "a lot of people define [a soft market] as rates are going down. In that case, it may be a soft market." But he added that solid underwriting, better data and better systems have helped create "a normal where profitability cycles are less severe."
As to whether it's a soft market and, if so, is it the new normal, "you've got to ask the question – what does the soft market mean?" said Kevin Gabhart, senior managing director at Beecher Carlson, another panel participant. "From a brokerage perspective, it's an overabundance of capacity and competitive rates, sometimes lower than what the actuary is recommending to our clients. …. We're in an environment right now where we're seeing that."
His clients, from the small physician groups to large healthcare systems, say "they can buy in the commercial marketplace cheaper than self-insuring. Is this the new normal? … I can tell you our clients are expecting [it to be], yes," Gabhart said.
However, Ironshore's Nash, who also participated in the market conditions panel, said there may be changes coming in the next few years. In addition to the evolving landscape of healthcare delivery, the line may also see pressures resulting from the outcome of the presidential election and possible regulatory changes.
