This Statistics for Data Science course is designed to introduce you to the basic principles of statistical methods and procedures used for data analysis. After completing this course you will have practical knowledge of crucial topics in statistics including - data gathering, summarizing data using descriptive statistics, displaying and visualizing data, examining relationships between variables, probability distributions, expected values, hypothesis testing, introduction to ANOVA (analysis of variance), regression and correlation analysis. You will take a hands-on approach to statistical analysis using Python and Jupyter Notebooks – the tools of choice for Data Scientists and Data Analysts. At the end of the course, you will complete a project to apply various concepts in the course to a Data Science problem involving a real-life inspired scenario and demonstrate an understanding of the foundational statistical thinking and reasoning. The focus is on developing a clear understanding of the different approaches for different data types, developing an intuitive understanding, making appropriate assessments of the proposed methods, using Python to analyze our data, and interpreting the output accurately. This course is suitable for a variety of professionals and students intending to start their journey in data and statistics-driven roles such as Data Scientists, Data Analysts, Business Analysts, Statisticians, and Researchers. It does not require any computer science or statistics background.

In this video, I will illustrate how to state your hypothesis when you're comparing the averages between two entity. We will use basketball as an example, using Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain, the two highest scorers in the history of basketball, as examples. If you were to recall, you would know that Michael Jordan, on average, scored 30.12 point in each game, and Chamberlain averages around 30.06 points per game. If you were to compare the two averages between Michael Jordan and Chamberlain, and even though they are very similar looking numbers, we need to set up a statistical hypothesis testing. We are interested in comparing the average points scored by the two basketball players, and the comparison of means or averages is available in three flavors. First, we can assume that the average points per game scored by the two players, Jordan and Chamberlain, are the same. That is, the difference between their mean scores is zero. If their averages are the same, average of one minus average of other should be zero, this becomes a null hypothesis. Let's say if Mu_j represents the average points per game scored by Michael Jordan, and Mu_c represents the average points per game scored by Wilt Chamberlain, we can state the null hypothesis to be Mu_j equal Mu_c, that is the average scored by Jordan and average scored by Chamberlain are the same. The alternative hypothesis would be that no, these averages are not the same, they are different. The alternative hypothesis H_a compared to null hypothesis H_0 or o. The alternative is that the averages are not the same, their average scores are different. Now, the other option, the second option, is to assume that Jordan scored better or higher. In that case, our null hypothesis is the average score by Michael Jordan is greater than or equal to the average score by Wilt Chamberlain. In this particular case, the alternative hypothesis would be different. It wouldn't be not equal to, but it would be less than. The alternative would be that the average scored by Jordan is less than that by Wilt Chamberlain. By the same account, our third option will be that the null hypothesis is that in fact Jordan scored less than Wilt Chamberlain and the alternative hypothesis will be the reverse of it, saying that no, Michael Jordan scored higher than Wilt Chamberlain. In a nutshell, we have three options. We can say the averages are the same and the null would be, no, they are not the same, not equal. We can say the average is less than, the null is that Jordan's average is higher than Chamberlain, and the alternative would be the reverse of it. The third option is to say that the average scored by Jordan is less than average scored by Chamberlain, and the reverse of it will be the alternative hypothesis. So, three ways of defining a hypothesis.

The 'Young Giant' is Kaingaroa Forest: the largest plantation in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of the largest exotic forests in the world. 1,300 square kilometres produce "50 million cubic feet of timber a year" for pulp, paper, and building. Directed by Brian Cross, and made by the NFU for the forest's then-managers — the New Zealand Forest Service — this documentary showcases the industry in the pines: scrub clearance for forest extension, burn-offs, machine planting, pruning, felling, grafting, and kiln-drying cones to extract seeds for sowing.
Intermediate Schools Battle of the Bands - Lorde excerpt

The 12-year-old Belmont Intermediate student and her band belt out covers of 'Man on the Silver Mountain', by British rockers Rainbow, and 'Edie (Ciao Baby)', The Cult's tribute to Andy Warhol heroine Edie Sedgwick. "The gods lay at your fee-e-eet …" Ella. Post-performance Ella bemoans a "sore voice", but Extreme still manage to take third place.

I missed the weekly review for quite a while, shame on me. Nevertheless, the last time I opened the list, it was almost empty, while the weekly review list in Outlook has some dozen tasks. I did miss several tasks in the Trog listing, that were presented in Outlook.
Any idea? I am convinced of the value of weekly reviews, therefore I would like to rely on the Trog function.
The Trog Bar Weekly review list is much smarter than Outlook's Weekly Review view (as configured using the SQL code we provide in TRO Online Training). Trog filters out more tasks that you don't need to be looking at, including tasks with a Reminder Date set (since those will show up in your Daily Review or Do Today list automatically).
So, you're not missing anything important.

2A Tyranny! Virginia Passes 7 More Gun Control Bills
Chris Badger ThomasFebruary 4, 2020
Virginia's Democrat-controlled House of Delegates approved more than a half-dozen gun control bills Thursday afternoon, including a version of "red flag" legislation, "universal background checks," and the gutting of Virginia's firearms preemption laws, Bearing Arms reported.
Former delegate Scott Lingamfelter joins me on today's Bearing Arms' Cam & Co. to talk about the anti-gun agenda that's being rushed through the legislature with fierce opposition but little time for debate.
The Republican says the actions of Gov. Ralph Northam are a far cry from the man he served with in the Virginia legislature, and Lingamfelter says Northam as "sold his soul" to anti-gun activists and far-Left politicians in an attempt to rehabilitate his image and political career after his blackface controversy in 2019.
Make sure you check out the entire interview above, and keep reading for a look at the bills that cleared the House on Thursday afternoon.
HB 1083 states that any person who "recklessly leaves a loaded, unsecured firearm in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any person under the age of 18 is guilty of a Class 6 felony."
HB 812 is handgun rationing, limiting purchases of handguns to one-per-month. Unlike the version passed by the state senate, this bill does not contain an exemption for those who are licensed to carry a concealed firearm in Virginia.
HB 2 HB 2 requires background checks on all sales and transfers of firearms, with only limited exceptions, while the senate version of the background bill applies only to private sales, not transfers.
HB 421 guts the state's firearms preemption laws and allows for localities to set their own gun control laws regarding the "possession, carrying, storage, or transporting of firearms, ammunition, or components or combination thereof," meaning that Virginians could soon be forced to learn the various gun laws of dozens of localities in order to stay in compliance.
Virginia's House of Delegates approved seven pieces of legislation aimed at curbing gun violence, including universal background checks, a monthly limit on handgun purchases and "a red flag" law, which would give judges and police officers the authority to remove a weapon from an individual if they pose a threat.
What is deemed "reckless" usage for kids under 18 hunting is dubious at best and will be hard to enforce. This relates to minors access to guns during hunting and shooting sports. Hello erosion to Virginia's sporting/hunting heritage… https://t.co/lSoBuRN3TQ
— Gabriella Hoffman (@Gabby_Hoffman) January 30, 2020
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence hailed the passage and pushed the Virginia Legislature to enact more gun control measures.

Square One Law's new partner, Francesca Angelucci, talks about her return to Newcastle and the opportunity of leading the firm's experienced private client services team.
Francesca Angelucci has developed a highly successful career managing the personal business needs of her clients. From her early career managing bulk remortgages to her recent invaluable experience of working with high net worth clients in central London, Francesca has seen first-hand the impact of a fluctuating property market and an unstable economy.
Francesca is a north-easterner through and through and is delighted to be returning to her roots.
Next Francesca joined Watson Burton, and was given the opportunity to build up a bespoke residential conveyancing practice. She soon realised that this was exactly the type of work she wanted to specialise in and became well known in the Newcastle property market. Two years later, Dickinson Dees approached her to return as part of their core business to set up a similar offering. All was going well until 2008 when the property market collapsed in the North East.
Overnight the market seemed to go flat, but I could see that the economic downturn wasn't having the same effect on my London-based clients. The market remained vibrant in the south east and when the opportunity presented itself, I moved to London and joined a niche private client firm, Judge Sykes Frixou, where I became a partner. This turned out to be a fantastic move for me and instead of just working with regional clients, I suddenly found myself acting for high-net worth international and national clients in relation to prime and super prime property transactions.
"I developed a deeper understanding of relationship management at Judge Sykes Frixou, my clients were investing very large sums of money and had very high expectations of service delivery.
Francesca had to work closely with the firm's corporate and property teams as well as the client's tax advisers and lenders to establish the most efficient way of purchasing the property. This could include purchasing through an offshore company, or purchasing the company that owned the property.
Francesca continued: "My role is to co-ordinate the client, the banks, the surveyors, to ensure excellent service and value is delivered to the client.
"The main difference working in the London market is that all the different parties are very client driven and actively work together to achieve the client's objectives (no matter how demanding) in as short a time as possible.
Looking to the future Francesca said: "As we gear up for a general election next year we will see the issues of mansion tax and first time buyer schemes brought to the forefront. This coupled with the recent debate over Scotland's future has led to a level of uncertainty in the marketplace and even the London market has calmed slightly as everyone waits to see what will happen.

The Collections Trust Award recognises the often-unsung achievements of those who manage the collections that lie at the heart of all museums. This year, for the first time, that well-deserved recognition comes with a cash award of £2,000 for the winning museum.
The theme of the 2017 Collections Trust Award is the same as our conference: pulling together. We want to celebrate projects that show what can be achieved when everyone in a museum – from the governing body to all levels of staff and/or volunteers – works as one to tackle a collections management challenge.
The winning museum will receive £2,000 to spend on an agreed collection management activity. A representative from the winning museum will also receive a free place at our 2017 conference in York on 21 September and be invited to present their project at the event.
Entering is simple. Use an online form to describe a collections management project or activity that was either completed in the last twelve months or is happening now with demonstrable progress you can point to. Anyone involved in your project or activity – whether on the governing body, staff or volunteer – can enter on behalf of your museum.
Entry is open to all Accredited UK museums and galleries. Entries must be submitted via this form no later than Monday 4 September 2017. For further terms and conditions, follow the link below.
Entry has now closed – many thanks to all of the museums who submitted an entry. The winner will be announced at the conference.

The split in the Scrum community with Ken Schwaber going independent of the Scrum Alliance sees Scrum.org announce the Professional Scrum Developer program.
Too bad Ken's certification is Microsoft and Java centric. The great thing about the SA certifications is that no matter what language you or your company uses you can learn the practice of Scrum. Either way I am sure people will get confused, except for the Microsoft developers who are marketed to, perhaps by Microsoft itself. We'll see.
Certification programs are all about marketing, not about real knowledge/skills or professionalism. I wouldn't over-react to the introduction of another certification program.
I don't know about you, but I see the announcement prominently displayed on the Scrum.org site. And I do think this is a good thing overall for Scrum.

Home > News List > Automated Traffic Enforcement Citations with Fines will be Issued Beginning July 1
Automated Traffic Enforcement Citations with Fines will be Issued Beginning July 1
The City of Cedar Rapids reactivated the Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) system on June 1, 2019 and has been issuing warnings of speed and red light violations. Through noon today, the Police Department has issued 13,596 warnings, which includes 90 red light violation warnings.
Citations with fines will be enforced beginning 12:00 a.m. on July 1, 2019.
All speeding and red light violations indicated through the ATE system are reviewed and approved by a Cedar Rapids police officer before a citation is issued.
The use of Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) has resulted in a reduction in both crashes and crashes with injuries in Cedar Rapids. The ATE system advances public interests of traffic safety and safety of emergency responders. Areas of U.S. Interstate 380 where the ATE system is in place have seen a 62 percent reduction in crashes that involve injuries. In addition, there has been a 37 percent reduction in overall crashes on the interstate since the installation of the ATE system.
The revenue from Automated Traffic Enforcement enhances public safety in our community. The City is hiring 10 additional police officers and a program coordinator to process Municipal Infractions.
Automated traffic enforcement involves the enforcement of red-light running violations and speed limit violations. The City of Cedar Rapids uses ATE systems to enforce red-light running and speed violations at three signalized intersections on the primary highway system, including 1st Avenue and 10th Street East, 1st Avenue and L Street SW, and Williams Boulevard and 16th Avenue SW. In addition, the City uses ATE systems to enforce speed violations at four locations along U.S. Interstate 380, including northbound at Diagonal Drive SW, northbound at J Avenue NE, southbound at J Avenue NE, and southbound at 1st Avenue SW. There are two additional locations where the ATE system is in place, including the intersection of 42nd Street and Edgewood Road NE and the intersection of Center Point Road and the Collins Road ramp (north side of Highway 100).
For more information about the ATE program, please visit www.cityofcr.com/ate.

How many times over the years have you stopped at the intersection of Foothill and Euclid in Upland and noticed a Monument in the center divider on the north side of the intersection....I'm sure most of you have never given a thought as to what or whom this monuments is about or decade to.
The monument is called, the Madonna of the Trail Monument....The monument was dedicated on February 1, 1929 and is one of twelve monuments commissioned in twelve different states where the old Santa Fe trail ran.....The monument was rededicated February 9-11, 1979 when it was decided to put in new grass, plants, curbing and Foothill and Euclid were widened and improved.
In the late 1920's, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution commissioned the design, casting and placement of twelve memorials commemorating the spirit of the woman pioneer......These memorials were placed along the route of the National Old Trails highway and extended from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, California.
The idea for the Madonna of the Trail Monuments began in 1909 when several Missouri women wanted to mark the Santa Fe Trail and the part that American Women played in moving their families and the country west.....Later, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution joined their effort.....The groups began working side by side with the National Old Trails Road Association which was headed by then Judge Harry S Truman, of Independence, Missouri....That highway closely approximated the paths of Braddock's and Washington's Road, the National Road, Boone's Lick Road, the Santa Fe Trail, and the Old Trail.....The road ran from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles.....The original plan called for the placement of over 3,095 highway markers along the entire route....This idea failed, as it was realized it would cost to much to go out to all of these markers and take care of them, not to mention several hundred people that would be required year end and year out to maintain them....The groups elected instead, to place monuments in each of the state through which the highway ran.
The monument itself was conceived by Arlene B. Nichols Moss, of St. Louis, Missouri.....Moss was inspired by a statue of Sacajawea that stood in Portland, Oregon. On September 7, 1927, the group selected a statue of a pioneer woman clutching two small children and a rifle.
The statue was sculpted by August Leimbach and cast in an amalgam of crushed granite, stone, marble, cement and lead ore.......The statue stands ten foot tall and weighs over five tons......The statue sits on pedestal that measures five foot by five foot by six foot high and weighs twelve tons and sits three feet underground and two feet above....It has survived Earthquakes, floods, snow, blazing heat and even a drunk driver that crashed into the base of the monument about 20 years ago.
Madonna Statues are located in the following states; Bethesda, MD, Beallsville, PA, Wheeling, WV, Springfield, OH, Richmond, IN, Vandalia, IL, Lexington, MO, Council Grove, KS, Lamar, CO, Albuquerque, NM, Springerville, AZ, and of course, Upland.
I was in fifth grade in 1979 when they did the rededication. I went to Sierra Vista elementary school. All our names were entered into that time capsule. I wonder if Anybody viewing this site was around and got their name in there as well. Hope to be there when they open it.
I was there... I was in the parade... I went to Sierra Vista until I moved to Washington in 1980.
Walking up this trail inspires me to not stop keep strong in Life for my family.
I was a student at Valencia Elementary in 1979 and I remember when this was opened. I remember either my name or something i made went in again. I was maybe third or fourth grade? I have muddled memories of learning about the Donner Party and thinking the descendants went through Upland, but that could be the confused memories of childhood. I've always liked that statue and what it represents.

As an idea for a new column on The Blog of Doom, I thought it would be fun to ask some metal musicians to choose their ultimate 8-10 song playlist and provide a bit of commentary on each choice. First up is Doc, the drummer for Swedish doomsters Below, who just released their debut album Across The Dark River in April. Unsurpisingly, Doc's list is heavy on Swedish bands and Mercyful Fate, a combination from which Below clearly get their sound. He does have a couple of curveballs in there, though.

Stop The "Impostor Syndrome" Madness
Blog / Stop The "Impostor Syndrome" Madness
12 Feb Stop The "Impostor Syndrome" Madness
This syndrome has visibly manifested itself so many times in the past couple of weeks — in my own head, but also in the head of people I care about. For me, it occurred when I was meeting someone who was twenty years my senior, was the owner a 4-scroll long Wikipedia page, and had birthed thousands of social entrepreneurs over his lifetime. I was barely an entrepreneur, let alone a social entrepreneur?
Independently, and that same week, I received this email from a younger friend of mine:
(To be clear — I was a young MD but definitely not the youngest)
And then a few days later:
Finally, yesterday an insanely creative, talented and kind individual stated she felt "impostor syndrome" because English was not her first language.
In each of these examples the "impostor" feels a lack of worth relative to the other person — typically resulting from a perceived gulf in "success" (how that is defined is an entirely separate post), age (highly correlated with success), but even more nuanced attributes such as language and presence.
Let's return to our definition:
It's pretty evident that in all of these examples, pretending to be someone else in order to deceive the other couldn't have been further from the truth.
Furthermore, what struck me is that in two of these instances I was on the "welcoming side" of said Impostor. And not once did that thought cross my mind. Not because I'm special, but because that label was purely a construct within said Impostor's own mind.
It reminds me of an Invisibilia podcast of a woman who could not feel fear because of a calcified Amygdala (from Rad Reads 53). She had been robbed three times (once at knife point, twice at gun point) but was miraculously never hurt. The incredible thing is that she never felt any trauma. Her inability to feel fear resulted in those terrifying events flowing away.
It's an extreme comparison to feeling like an Impostor, but reinforces the point that it's a construct in our own minds. If we can let go of it, we let go of the ensuing "trauma."
When you label yourself as an Impostor, you are judging — more specifically Self Judging. Inverting the feeling would result in entering the meeting believing that you were Awesome, which wouldn't happen either — that's arrogance. The inner dialogue would never be "I am Awesome" nor would it be "I am an Impostor."
It should be "I am."
Avoiding Self-Judgement is being Kind to ourselves. And by just Being we become unconstrained, ready to Soar.
Let's drop that self judgement. Abandon the unnecessary mental construct. Burn the label. No one is an Impostor. We are friends, acquaintances, colleagues, partners, and even strangers. But no one is an Impostor.
Define your Purpose. Activate your Potential.

Frequently, the governance documents of closely held businesses (shareholders agreements, company agreements and partnership agreements, among other ownership and governance documents) provide for transfer restrictions which prevent the outright and free transfer of interests in the entity in question. These are sometimes referred to as anti-assignment provisions. By restricting the transfer of interests in a closely held company, the owners have some assurance regarding who their "partners" will be in the future. There are a variety of different ways to draft transfer restrictions, from an outright restriction against transfers without the consent of all or some portion of the other owners, to temporary restrictions against transfers which burn off after a period of years, to preferential rights in favor of the non-transferring owners which may include a discounted buy-out of the attempted transferor or a right of first refusal in favor of non-transferring owners (among a multitude of other forms of restriction or devises to discourage transfers or protect non-transferring owners).
Regularly, our clients request that we assist them in transferring their interests in various companies, or to assist them in preventing the prohibited transfer of interests in a company by one of their co-owners. Sometimes, when not carefully drafted, anti-assignment provisions can be circumvented. Often, an investor will not own an interest in a company as an individual but will, instead, own and control those interests by and through another entity (sometimes referred to as a holding company). For the purposes of this article, we'll discuss what is called an "indirect transfer" or "change of control" transfer which comes into play when an owner in a company is an entity as opposed to an individual.
Consider the following scenario: OperatingCo, LLC, is owned by four parties, being Individuals A and B, and also HoldingCo, Inc. and InvestmentCo, LLC (these types of companies may be referred to generally herein from time to time as an "owner entity"). The governance documents of OperatingCo may prohibit the transfer of interests therein without the consent of all of the other owners. What if HoldingCo desires to transfer its interest in OperatingCo but cannot gain the approval of the other owners for such transfer? To circumvent the anti-assignment provisions in the OperatingCo's governance documents, the owners of HoldingCo may simply sell their stock in HoldingCo to the party desiring to be an owner in OperatingCo and voilà!—the purchaser is now an indirect owner in OperatingCo by and through its ownership in HoldingCo.
The issue is, when a company is owned at least in part by another entity, whether the transfer of ownership interests in that owner entity is tantamount to a transfer of interests in the company itself for the purpose of triggering anti-assignment provisions or preferential rights.
The legal ownership and governance matters related to an entity will be analyzed under the law of the state of formation of the entity in question, meaning governance matters between the owners of Texas entities will be analyzed using Texas law and governance matters between owners of Delaware entities will be analyzed using Delaware law. As Delaware is the most favored state for incorporation of a business, an analysis of Delaware law regarding indirect transfers is appropriate.
Statutory law in Delaware generally provides that ownership interests in the various entities are freely assignable except as otherwise provided in the governance documents of the relevant entity. As such, Delaware courts interpret the effect of indirect transfers based on the specific language used in the relevant anti-assignment provision.
Under Delaware law, transfer provisions will be analyzed in light of applicable contract interpretations principles. In Delaware, a simple transfer provision which provides, for example, that "no owner may transfer his or her interests in the Company without the consent of all other owners," or "transfers of interests are prohibited without the consent of a majority in interest of the owners," would likely be construed as inapplicable on its face to an indirect transfer or change of control transfer. Based on the interpretation of the plain meaning of the simple anti-assignment provision, a court would likely conclude that a sale of the member entity's stock would not actually be a sale of the interests in the company in question.
Applying this general rule in Integrated Resources, Inc., a Delaware court reached the conclusion that the phrase "[a partner] is prohibited from transferring its Partnership Interest," constituted a prohibition against a partner's transfer of its general partner interest in a partnership, but did not prohibit the sale of the stock of the entity owning that general partner interest.6] The court held that "[c]ourts . . . must exercise prudence and care when implying rights lest they make the contract speak where it was intended to be silent."
Similarly, in Star Cellular Telephone Company, Inc., v. Baton Rouge CGSA, Inc., a Delaware court determined that the phrase "[a partner] may transfer or assign its General Partner's Interest only after written notice to all the other Partners and the unanimous vote of all the other Partners" constituted a prohibition against a partner's transfer of its interest in a partnership, but did not prohibit mergers, which would affect an indirect transfer (based on the concept that the parties would have not chosen the unaided term "transfer" to express that intent). This court concluded that "[i]f a writing is plain or clear on its face, there is no room for interpretation, construction, or a search for the intent of the parties . . . . It therefore must be inferred that had the parties contemplated this specific dispute and intended to prohibit all mergers . . . they would likely have . . . . provided by appropriate language that 'transfer' means all transfers, including those arising by operation of law."
Notwithstanding the Delaware courts' interpretations of simple prohibitions against transfers, when an entity's governance document has a more comprehensive anti-assignment provisions, for example restricting all "direct and indirect transfers," a Delaware court will likely reach a different conclusion than was reached in Integrated Resources Inc., and Star Cellular Telephone Company, Inc. In Asian Yard Partners, a Delaware bankruptcy court analyzed the effect of the following anti-assignment clause on an indirect transfer under Delaware law: "No Partner may sell, assign, transfer, give, hypothecate or otherwise encumber (any such sale, assignment, transfer, gift, hypothecation or encumbrance being hereinafter referred to as a 'Transfer'), directly or indirectly, or by operation of law or otherwise, any interest in the Partnership which consent shall be given or withheld in each Partner's sole discretion." In Asian Yard Partners, the court addressed the ruling in Integrated Resources, Inc. and determined that it was distinguishable. The Court provided that "the anti-transfer provision is broadly stated. It bars a transfer of the partner interest 'directly or indirectly, or by operation of law or otherwise.' These words cannot be ignored in applying the provision to the proposed transfer. By using the words 'directly or indirectly' the parties obviously meant that a partner could not do indirectly that which it was prohibited from doing directly."
From these cases, it appears that the current state of the law in Delaware would dictate that a court will analyze the language of an anti-assignment provision under the general tenets of contract interpretation to determine whether an indirect transfer or change of control transfer is prohibited by the relevant anti-assignment provision, and that the use of modifiers, such as "directly or indirectly" and "by operation of law or otherwise," may be the deciding factor in a court's interpretation. This is something to keep in mind when drafting instruments for your client or interpreting their right to effect indirect transfers in the face of anti-assignment provisions or preemptive rights.
In 1996, in Tenneco Inc. v. Enterprise Products Co., the Supreme Court of Texas addressed, in a case of first impression, the effect of a stock sale on a right of first refusal which, although not an anti-assignment provision, is a preferential right which is triggered upon attempted transfers in the same way. The relevant provision provided that "if any Owner should desire to sell, transfer or assign all or any part of its Ownership Interest, the other Owners shall have the prior and preferential right and option to purchase proportionately the interest to be sold by such Owner."
In Tenneco, all of the outstanding stock of an entity party to an operating agreement was purchased by a third party. The plaintiffs argued that that transaction was, in substance, a transfer of an ownership interest which invoked the right of first refusal.
The Court was not persuaded by this argument and held that "[t]he purchaser of stock in a corporation does not purchase any portion of the corporation's assets, nor is a sale of all the stock of a corporation a sale of the physical properties of the corporation. Sound corporate jurisprudence requires that courts narrowly construe rights of first refusal and other provisions that effectively restrict the free transfer of stock." The Court further stated that the preferential right language "says nothing about a change in stockholders. The [parties] could have included a change-of-control provision in the agreements that would trigger the preferential right to purchase. None of the agreements . . . contained such a provision. We have long held that courts will not rewrite agreements to insert provisions parties could have included or to imply restraints for which they have not bargained."
In conclusion, the Court provided that "[i]n holding that the sale of a corporation's stock does not trigger rights of first refusal, we join courts from other jurisdictions that have considered this issue . . . . We also recognize the insight of commentators who have long maintained that stock sales do not invoke preemptive rights."
In Tenneco, the Texas Supreme Court opinion was clear in ruling that a simple preemptive right provision will not be triggered by an indirect transfer. It is not clear what the result would be under Texas law if modifiers such as "directly or indirectly" are used in an anti-assignment clause or preemptive right language in Texas. However, we can be confident based on the suggestions of the Court in Tenneco, that "change of control" provision, providing something to the effect of "it is expressly agreed that a change of control of an owner entity shall constitute a transfer subject to the restrictions of this Section," will restrict change of control transfers—something to consider in your drafting and when advising your clients.
Based on review of relevant law in Delaware and Texas, we can conclude that if you desire to restrict a company's owners from effecting indirect transfers, specifically address such transfers in the anti-assignment provisions of company's governance documents by including change of control language and modifiers such as "directly and indirectly" to reflect the parties' intent that indirect transfers are subject to restriction. The use of broad language, such as "no owner may transfer his or her interests, directly or indirectly, or by operation of law or otherwise," and change of control provisions providing that "it is expressly agreed that a change of control of an owner entity shall constitute a transfer subject to the restrictions of this section," will support a position that indirect transfers were contemplated by the parties and should be restricted.
On the other hand, if your client desires to effect a prohibited transfer, in the event the relevant anti-assignment language does not expressly include change of control language or modifiers such as "directly or indirectly," a Texas or Delaware court is unlikely to interpret that anti-assignment language as prohibiting an indirect assignment of interests—and so it may be possible for your client to circumvent such restriction or preferential rights by effecting an indirect transfer.

 This results from a number of considerations such as well developed and flexible corporate statutes in Delaware, a specialized and efficient court which focuses on corporate matters (the Court of Chancery), favorable usury laws, and the fact that it is a state with a small population that might be characterized as mostly pro-business, among others.

Ritual Roast of Keith Dunn (on his 40th birthday)

Ritual Roast of Keith Dunn (on his 40th birthday) by Andy Simpkins
...as one Keith Andrew Dunn enters his 40th year on this planet of ours, I would just like to set the record straight and lay to rest any rumours and unsolicited mutterings about this fine upstanding person.
I first became aware of his existence when I entered the employ of the company where I am working now some several years ago. Upon my travails as a member of the temporary staff, I noticed a gentleman, wild of hair with a beard framing his face and with a mad glint in his eye, occasionally dropping off stock that us unwashed members of the proletariat in the despatch department were honour-bound to pack and send out to our dealers.
As time went by and I began putting names to faces within the department, I found out his name was Keith and he was happily ensconced in the town of Crawley with an adoring wife and two children. From conversations with other members of staff, I later gleaned little nuggets of information, first and foremost that he had an undying and pathological hatred of that well-known and talented actor of many faces;William Shatner (yes, he of Star Trek, T. J. Hooker and a singing career of some repute) and has had this well-spring of loathing of the aforementioned actor and balladeer since the mid 1980's (cue angelic chorus for the benefit of Tony Gallichan...) since the sketch on the American TV comedy show "Saturday Night Live" where William Shatner is up on stage in front of a small and motley crowd of Star Trek fans who are continually asking him questions about his role in the original series of Star Trek. He loses patience with the audience and tells them all to '... get a life!..'He then exasperatedly asks members of the audience how long it has been since they got drunk and how long it has been since they kissed a girl to which they all dolefully shake their heads as either they do not know or they have never experienced that pleasure.
Needless to say, Keith took extreme umbrage to this and has harboured a simmering resentment of 'The Shat', as he unaffectionately calls him, since that time.
Coming back to the present day, this was further reinforced one day. During a slack period at work , a collegue and myself were idly browsing through the various software options on one of the PC's at work and come across a function that enables the user to produce and print out commendation certificates that one can custom-make as appropriate to the situation. A certain devil-may-care feeling came over us at that particular moment and we proceeded to produce a certificate proclaiming that Keith was an ardent and loyal follower of William Shatner and the certificate stated that '...he has show unflinching and ever-loyal devotion to the cause of Shatner and is to be commended for his actions. We made the certificate as gaudy and heavily decorated with filigree'd edges as possible, printed it out and left it in a prominent place so that he could find it easily.
Approximately fifteen minutes later, I was out in the lorry yard tending to some work out there when I heard a faint but unmistakeable bellow of '...SIMPKINS!!!... ' coming from inside the building. Smirking inwardly to myself, I sauntered inside to see that the aforementioned certificate was pinned to the desk with a craft knife and Keith was standing by the desk, glowering mightily and looking like all hell was about break loose...
This incident was only one of many and another one that sticks in my mind was when my supervisor made the grave error of calling Keith 'William Shatners love-child'. The sight I was greeted with next was Keith pinning my supervisor to the ground and gently trying to bang his head into the concrete by way of exacting revenge. I could come out with other examples but I would probably be hung up by my feet Predator style, skinned alive and have salt rubbed into my wounds by a giggling Dunn-ster.
Looking on the brighter side, one good thing that has come of my acquaintance of Keith is the fact that approximately 4 years ago, he introduced me to the world of science-fiction role-playing games and from there onwards to the Mad Hatters Tea Party that is the website known as 'Staggering Stories' and some very good friends who I might not have know otherwise if our paths had not crossed.
So on this joyous occasion, raise a glass or cup of your favourite beverage and toast the oddity that is Keith Andrew Dunn. Long may he reign...

China-India Border Crisis: Can a New CBM Avert War?
CO20189 | China-India Border Crisis: Can a New CBM Avert War?

China and India have relentlessly confronted each other since they clashed in the western sector of their disputed boundary on 15 June 2020. To avert war, a viable confidence-building option, not considered by either side, is mutual accommodation. In this formula, both sides can keep their recent military 'gains' until the boundary is amicably settled.
ON 21 OCTOBER 2020, India handed over to China a missing Chinese soldier who had strayed into the Indian side in Ladakh, the scene of current Sino-Indian hostility. In conventional wisdom, this episode can herald the easing of tensions. However, the present China-India military crisis is a unique test of their political will, if not the prelude to their potential power struggle in Asia.
For the first time in 45 years, soldiers died on both sides in a ferocious physical clash on 15 June 2020. Throughout the crisis which began in May, there has been no exchange of fire so far, despite mutual allegations of warning shots being fired. Through competitive military manoeuvres, though, both sides have gained vantage positions. Diplomatic and military-level efforts to end the crisis have, therefore, remained unsuccessful.
Patrolling at 'Friction Points'
The disputed Sino-Indian boundary – divided into western, central and eastern sectors – is identified by the un-demarcated Line of Actual Control (LAC). But there has been no agreement on the exact alignment of LAC. In the bilateral negotiations, China has not agreed to determine the LAC alignment because it might prejudge the boundary settlement itself.
Consequently, the patrolling troops of both sides often confront each other at the contested "friction points", i.e., places deemed useful in the Himalayan mountainous border.
Patrolling Claim Lines (PCLs) are, therefore, the unmarked limits up to which the soldiers of each side undertake routine patrolling, mostly at "friction points". PCLs differ from Sovereignty Claim Lines (SCLs), which indicate the extent of land actually controlled or politically claimed by each side for exercising sovereign administrative authority.
SCLs run deep into each other's cartographic territory. The 90,000-sq-km Arunachal Pradesh in the eastern sector is a constituent State in India, with regular representation in the Indian Parliament. However, China claims sovereignty over this territory. Similarly, in the western sector, India claims sovereignty over Aksai Chin, which is being administered by China from the 1950s.
The current Sino-India military crisis is unfolding mainly at "friction points" along and across the de facto LAC between India's Union Territory of Ladakh (UTL) and Aksai Chin. Beginning as differences over PCLs at these "friction points", the crisis snowballed, as both countries gained vantage positions through military manoeuvres, especially in the Pangong Lake area.
Disengagement and De-Escalation
Chinese and Indian defence ministers, General Wei Fenghe and Rajnath Singh respectively, met in Moscow on 4 September 2020 but failed to resolve the crisis. They simply assessed each other's moods and methods. Thereafter, the two foreign ministers, Wang Yi and Jaishankar, met, also in Moscow on 10 September.
They agreed on a procedure to bring about ''quick" disengagement by the troops and de-escalation of tensions. The need for "new confidence-building measures (CBMs)" was also emphasised as a pathway "to maintain and enhance peace and tranquillity in the border areas". No formula was spelt out by either China or India.
Senior military commanders in the UTL-Aksai Chin region have also met quite regularly. On 22 September, they agreed "to stop sending more troops to the frontline" in this theatre. If implemented by both sides in letter and spirit, this commitment can lead to de-escalation of tensions i.e., a lowering of the temperature.
Being a matter of logistical detail, there has been no official word on how disengagement by the troops will be ensured. In a possible scenario, each side can withdraw its soldiers to an agreed location behind the Patrolling Claim Line of the other side at each "friction point".
Each side will, in effect, withdraw its soldiers within the confines of its own PCL at each "friction point". Some military analysts, however, disfavour the creation of a buffer zone through demilitarisation. They argue that the evident lack of necessary trust in Sino-Indian relations would be an impediment.
No-Escalation Formula
A new formula can be envisioned to address the lack of adequate trust. Because of this syndrome, Beijing and Delhi will be inclined to preserve what they gained through their competitive military manoeuvres in the western sector in 2020. So, a no-escalation agreement can be conceived as a possible new CBM.
In this scenario, each country will retain its newly-acquired vantage positions. An agreement of this kind – in effect, deterrence – will be a 'victory' for both militaries, however limited in scope. They need not feel that their manoeuvres will go waste through de-escalation.
But a no-escalation formula will be viable only if both neighbours honour their commitment to stop sending more troops to the UTL-Aksai Chin theatre. Above all, both parties must be convinced of each other's political will and military prowess to retain their vantage positions.
Surely, like all CBMs, a no-escalation accord, too, will only be a palliative. There is, therefore, no alternative to a settlement of the boundary dispute itself as quickly as possible. Jaishankar believes that the boundary dispute and the broader Sino-Indian relations cannot be separated.
Wang Yi, however, argues that the dispute should be viewed in "a proper context vis-à-vis [overall] bilateral relations". A no-escalation CBM may help manage this Sino-Indian divergence.

The high prices of goods in Papua is some of the problems that the Papuan people have to face everyday. President Joko Widodo himself is aware of these problems. He has already addressed some of the problems, such as the high cement price in Papua. The challenging transportation access is one of the cause of the problems. Therefore, the government has now built more transportation infrastructures. By building that, it is hoped that the transportation of goods will be easier and the prices will be stabilized.
To address the problems of cement price in Papua, President Joko Widodo has already conveyed his concerns regarding the high price. Cement price in Papua can reach around 800,000 IDR/sack- 2.5 million IDR/sack, compared to Java which is only around 70 thousand IDR/sack. Hence, he wants the to decrease the cement price in Papua to be the same as in Java.
One of the causes of the high cement price in Papua is because of the pricey transportation cost. They need around 15 thousand IDR per 1 kg of cement to be transported to, for instance, Wamena. Hence, for 50 kg/sack of cement itself, the transportation cost to Wamena is around 750 thousand IDR. Hence, to ensure the cement price in Papua is the same as Java, the high transportation cost must be solved.
To solve the transportation cost of the goods in Papua, one of the solution is through Sea Toll. After the goods have arrived in the port, they will distribute it using airplane. The airplane distribution of the goods can reach remote places in Papua. Hence, developments are needed in this area of transportation.
There are also on going and completed developments of expanding the runway of airports in remote places of Papua. This is aimed to accommodate bigger airplanes to land in Papua. By using bigger planes to transport the goods, they can then transport more goods. By transporting more goods, they hope that the cement price in Papua can be lower.
They will also cooperate with a company from China to invest and establish a cement industry in Papua. Anhui Conch Cement Co. Ltd. through PT Conch Cement Indonesia (CCI) already said that they are interested in building a cement industry in Manokwari. The cement industry is going to be the first cement industry that is being built Papua.
By building better transportation infrastructure and building a cement industry in Papua, it is expected that the cement price in Papua can be the same as in Java. Therefore, developments and constructions can be easily accommodated.

Yet when I look at the dataset for maloo.RM.outlier, there are no values -99.9, so I then searched.
which(maloo.RM.outlier$Hs == -99.9, arr.ind = T)

[1] 11501 13775

I have tried looking at the row numbered 11501 and 13775, no -99.9 values there. I have tried, clearing the global environment data, restarting the R session and nothing seems to fully get rid of the value -99.9 and the summary still says the minimum = -99.9.  Does anyone know how to remove floating point values?

A: Because of R's FAQ 7.31, you can't really test for floating-point equality, just an approximation. There are several ways to do it, but a popular (and my favorite) way is to subtract my limit/equality and look for something below a threshold.
Because the actual value might be on either side (pos/neg) of my comparison value, we can use the absolute value to take that into account. The resulting code changes your
any(y == -99.9)

to
any( abs(y + 99.9) < 1e-9 )

Which, coincidentally, is precisely what Marius' suggested function (dplyr::near) is doing:
dplyr::near
# function (x, y, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.5)
# {
#     abs(x - y) < tol
# }
# <bytecode: 0x000000002506d7b8>
# <environment: namespace:dplyr>

though it is using a slightly more robust way of finding something of just-barely-above a "near-zero" magnitude by using .Machine$double.eps^0.5.
I chose 1e-9 for code-golf, though if you are programming something, you should probably name it something meaningful so it isn't a "magic constant". Perhaps tol <- 1e-9 or eps <- 1e-9 (for epsilon, a variable frequently used to indicate an arbitrarily small, positive number).
