Restaurant Leonardo has joined a project called 'Vitalizing cooking in catering establishments,' carried out by Mgr. Ivana Stenzlová – a professional biologist and expert on nutrition.
Vitalizing cooking is based on the use of high nutrient foods. It excludes industrially and chemically unmodified foods and uses only high quality oils and pure herbs and spices. Dishes are prepared to have a harmonizing effect on the body using the principles of traditional chinese medicine. Seasonal and local foods are a must for vitalizing cooking.
Besides respecting the quality of food in terms of nutrition, it is also important to take into consideration the aspect of taste. Vitalizing cooking must convince you not only of its curative effect, but also its excellent taste.

Q: how to perform a query with filter in the django template hello family by the way I am a beginner in web programming with the python language and its django framework
my concern is to be able to display the information coming from the join of several tables or models in my case I have the following tables:
Country table
city table
church table
but I used the mptt for country and city and everything is working fine but I want to display the list of all the countries with their respective cities as well as all the churches for each city. this is where the great difficulty lies for the month. If there is someone who can help me I will be very very happy

A: Have something like this in your view, where you pass in your tables:
def TestView(request):
    #...
    countries = CountryModel.objects.all()
    cities = CitiesModel.objects.all()
    churches = ChurchesModel.objects.all()
    #...

And then in your template, you can format these to seem like they are part of the same table. Use for loops to go through the models in your database. For example something like this should make a table with all of the items (assuming name is a parameter of the model:

        Countries:
        {% for country in countries %}
            {{ country.name}}
        {% endfor %}

        Cities:
        {% for city in cities %}
            {{ city.name}}
        {% endfor %}

        Churches:
        {% for church in churches %}
            {{ church.name}}
        {% endfor %}

Q: Effects of your response to Denoucing? Does your response to being denounced have an effect? If so, what effect?

*

*You'll pay for this

*Very well

Does this change between Vanilla, G&K, and BNW (in over-all effect or minor adjustments)?

A: These have no effect, its just a flavor/role playing choice.

A: I always thought it was based on their "Anger" level with you. You can see it in the right hand nav under the world icon. You can also see this based on the history notes under the respective countries. If there is a lot of red text like, "You angered X country," "They caught you spying," or "You denounced them," it means they'll probably say "You'll pay for this" vs "Very well."

Council pension investments switching to renewable energy
Published: Monday, February 28, 2022
The pension fund operated by Wandsworth and Richmond Councils is playing a leading role among London local government funds in switching its investments to renewable energy.
London Council pension funds are in the process of investing over £600 million in renewable energy, it was announced this week.
All of the funds are managed by local authority pension pool, London CIV, the organisation which is tasked with managing the assets of pension funds for the 32 London Boroughs plus the City of London Corporation. One of the biggest individual investments will come from the combined Wandsworth and Richmond pension fund which has already invested £40 million in these assets, but aims to increase this commitment to £140 million in the next year.
Cllr Guy Senior, Chairman of the Joint Wandsworth and Richmond Pension Fund said: "We came to the conclusion in 2020 that maximising the performance of the fund and supporting the council's pledge to tackle global warming did not have to be mutually exclusive.
"Switching to environmentally friendly investments has been a gradual process, but our equity portfolio is already over thirty per cent below the carbon footprint for its benchmark."
He added: "Investing in renewable energy is not just about being green, it will help deliver energy self-sufficiency and provide a good yield to pay our pensions so it is a win-win situation all around. The various types of renewable energy we are considering include carbon capture and energy storage and if all of the funds were invested in power generation such as hydro, solar, and wind turbines, it could generate up to 10 per cent of London's total requirements in electricity and do so in a greener capacity."
Mike O'Donnell, CEO of London CIV said: "We are delighted Wandsworth and Richmond are investing such a significant amount in renewable energy, which includes our recently launched Renewable Infrastructure Fund. The rest of the £600 million investment has been made up by another nine London Borough Local Government Pension Scheme investors."
"London CIV has committed itself to achieving net zero Green House Gas emissions by 2040 becoming the first local authority pension pool to do so. By setting an ambitious target it sends a clear signal to all our clients, managers and investee companies about urgently addressing this increasingly material issue.
"Our strategy ensures that the range of funds we offer are suitable for all our clients' climate goals, such as those highlighted by Wandsworth. We want to ensure that in collaboration with all of our partners we can help our Client Funds achieve their emissions targets, however ambitious they may be".

Q: C#: Distinction with containing List I have a List of instances of a class. Each instance contains a IList-property and a object of a custom class. Now I want to drop all distict instances in this List, where the elements of the containing IList-Property and the Multi-Property of the MyMulti-Class are equal. I want to remain only the one element in the List, where the "First"-property of  the "someData"-Property is the lowest.
My suggestion was, to group the elements of the List by the containing IList-Property and the "Multi"-property of the "SomeData"-property and then sort it by the "First"-property of the "SomeData"-Property and select the first Element of each group.
I need it as performant as possible. Anyone any ideas?
Example:
class myClass
{
    public IList<String> SomeStrings { get; set; }
    public MyMulti SomeData { get; set; }

    public myClass(MyMulti data, params string[] strings)
    {
        SomeData = data;
        SomeStrings = strings;
    }
}

class MyMulti
{
    public int First { get; set; }
    public int Second { get; set; }

    public int Multi
    {
        get
        {
            return First * Second;
        }
    }

    public MyMulti(int first, int second)
    {
        First = first;
        Second = second;
    }
}

var mc1 = new myClass(new MyMulti(6, 4), "0", "1");
var mc2 = new myClass(new MyMulti(3, 8), "0", "1");
var mc3 = new myClass(new MyMulti(7, 3), "0", "1");
var mc4 = new myClass(new MyMulti(2, 35), "0", "2");
var mc5 = new myClass(new MyMulti(5, 4), "1", "1");
var mc6 = new myClass(new MyMulti(7, 10), "0", "2");

IList<myClass> aList = new List<myClass>(){mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6};

var query = aList.GroupBy(x =>
    new
    {
        x.SomeData.Multi,
        x.SomeStrings
        // don't work cause this will compare the lists
        // not the containing elements
    })
    .Select(x=>
        x.OrderBy(y=>
            y.SomeData.First)
            .First());

Result should be: mc1 and mc2 grouped and then drop mc1, mc3 own group, mc4 and mc6 grouped and then mc6 droped, mc5 own group --> mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5 should remain
EDIT:
If I first sort the List by the MyClass.SomeData.First-property and then use the List.Distinct()-method and a custom IEqalityComparer implementiation I get, what I'm searching for. But is this the most performant way to do this?
public class myClassEqualityComparer : IEqualityComparer<myClass>
{

    public bool Equals(myClass x, myClass y)
    {
        if (!x.SomeData.Multi.Equals(y.SomeData.Multi))
            return false;
        else
            if (x.SomeStrings.AsEnumerable()
                   .SequenceEqual(y.SomeStrings.AsEnumerable()))
                return true;
        return false;
    }

    public int GetHashCode(myClass obj)
    {
        int hCode = obj.SomeData.Multi;
        foreach (var item in obj.SomeStrings)
        {
            hCode = hCode ^ item.GetHashCode();
        }
        return hCode.GetHashCode();
    }
}

A: why dont you try Distinct() method might do your wrok
List.Distinct();

A: you GetHashCode function may slow thing down.
Hash code is used to balance hash table and for the best performance, a hash function must generate a random distribution for all input. You should try:
public int GetHashCode(myClass obj)
{
    return obj.SomeData.First ^ obj.SomeData.Second;
}

You may test performance using System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch and loop 100000 to 1000000 times.

Home » Contact Tracing in the Workplace: 4 Common Questions and their Answers
Contact Tracing in the Workplace: 4 Common Questions and their Answers
Contact tracing in the workplace reduces risk by quickly warning employees of possible exposure and speeding the sanitization of areas that may have been infected. Employers do not have to close facilities completely or send employees home en masse. Businesses can keep running and employees can keep working.
Unobtrusive contact tracing instills confidence in employees as well. Safety measures comfort them and real-time responses to risks re-assure them that their company cares.
Employers often start to explore contact tracing by asking these questions.
1) Could contact tracing protect employees from infection?
Contact tracing can save lives by stopping a single infection from ballooning into an outbreak. If one employee tests positive for COVID-19, you can quarantine them as well as anyone else they may have been near. This can prevent additional employees from being exposed.
Removing any traces of the virus from areas where they had been recently, like break rooms or meeting spaces, could also prevent more employees from becoming sick. Pinpointing where an infected employee has been helps their employer prioritize those areas for sanitization without disrupting work elsewhere.
2) How could an organization protect the privacy of its employees if it implements contact tracing?
Though digital contact tracing could be a potential game-changer in the COVID-19 pandemic, the sensitive personal data collected by DCT applications "largely falls through the cracks of existing U.S. data protection laws," Mary Hildebrand of Lowenstein Sandler LLP wrote about how privacy concerns multiply as digital contact tracing spreads. "As businesses across the country begin to reopen and DCT expands, the glaring absence of any national consensus on data protection is impossible to ignore."
DCT technology can track the locations of employees as well as their personal health information. "Organizations need to remain vigilant regarding evolving state, federal, and foreign laws that may impact one or more aspects of DCT apps and the information they collect," Hildebrand wrote.
3) What should a company include in its contact tracing plan?
Employers should be ready to quickly identify and isolate employees who came into close contact with a co-worker that has been diagnosed with COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's contact tracing principles define a close contact as someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes during the 48 hours before the employee diagnosed with the virus was isolated. Exposed employees should stay home, maintain social distancing, and self-monitor until 14 days from the last date of exposure, per CDC guidelines.
The Society for Human Resource Management offers the following suggestions for contact tracing for employers.
Prepare a plan that includes processes for identifying and notify contacts.
Ensure that employees know that if they are diagnosed with COVID-19 they will be asked to provide a list of contacts at work.
Protect the name of an infected employee so that only the people conducting the contact tracing know who has been diagnosed.
Document contact-tracing efforts so that there is a record of attempts to notify employees who may have been exposed.
Coordinate with state and local health departments to prevent COVID-19 from spreading within the workplace and the community.
Follow-up with quarantined employees to check on their health. Launch additional contact tracing if any of them display symptoms of COVID-19 or have been diagnosed with the virus.
4) How could digital contact tracing technology protect the health and privacy of employees?
Employers can respond to risks quicker when they know who may have been exposed sooner. So, contact tracing could become a regular part of office life as employers increasingly track employees through means like cell phones, laptops, ID badges, wearables, and light sensors.
Contact tracing apps can reduce the chance of transmission by automatically alerting employees who may have been exposed to an infected co-worker. Technology can also automate alerts for managers and immediately dispatch crews to clean areas that may be contaminated.
For example, if an employee begins feeling sick at work, they may be able to use an app on their smartphone to update their health status. If they are diagnosed with COVID-19, then the app could automatically alert co-workers who may have been exposed through close contact with the infected worker or by being in an area where their colleague may have been as well.
Workers worry less when they know that their employer has put protocols in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Contact tracing in the workplace keeps a business running by keeping its employees safe.

Q: Finding roots of 5 th degree taylor expansion of $e^x$ I need to find the roots [actually their count and sign] of :
$$
{\mathcal T}(e^x,5)=\frac{x^5}{5!}+\frac{x^4}{4!}+\frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^2}{2!}+x+1$$

*

*It[Root] is clearly negative.

*It should have odd number of roots.

*Either One or Three or Five.

*It is easy to find the derivatives, but only the third derivative, a quadratic can be easily analyzed.

Any help?
Basics Only.

A: Consider the derivative
$$\begin{aligned}
\frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + x + 1 &= \frac{1}{4!}(x^4 + 4x^3 + 4x^2) + \frac{1}{12}x^2 + \left(\frac{x^2}{4} + x + 1\right)\\
&= \frac{x^2}{24}(x+2)^2 + \frac{x^2}{12} + \left(\frac{x}{2}+1\right)^2\\
&> 0.
\end{aligned}$$
So the fifth-order Taylor polynomial is strictly increasing, hence has exactly one real zero.

A: Hint
Fortunately (for me, at least !), you stopped at $x^5$. You can compute the derivative; this is a quartic polynomial we can solve with radicals. There is no real root to the derivative.
So the function increases and there is only one root.

A: Hint
My hint is not as well than Daniel Fisher but it always work.
$$T^{(5)}(x)=1>0$$ and thus $T^{(4)}$ is strict increasing. Therefore $T^{(3)}$ has a unique minimum (why ?). This minimum is strictly positive, therefore $T^{(2)}$ is strict increasing. You can show that $\lim_{x\to -\infty }T^{(2)}(x)=-\infty $ and $\lim_{x\to \infty }T^{(2)}(x)=+\infty $ and thus $T'$ has a unique minimum. This minimum is strictly positive and thus $T$ is strictly increasing. Show that $\lim_{x\to -\infty }T(x)=-\infty $ and $\lim_{x\to \infty }T(x)=+\infty $ and you'll got the unicity.

A: You can compute the third derivative -- it is a quadratic polynomial with no real roots.
Therefore the second derivative is a strictly increasing cubic polynomial with one real root; you can easily find a small rational interval that contains that root.
Now the first derivative is a quartic polynomial with one local (and thus global) minimum at the point where the second derivative had a root. If you have good enough bounds for the location of that root, you can prove (using the mean value theorem) that the global minimum is positive. Therefore the first derivative is everywhere positive.
Therefore the function itself has exactly one real root.

A: A similar way to @Daniel Fischer's answer (if not quite as clean) to show that the derivative is positive:
$$\begin{aligned}
\frac{x^4}{4!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} + x + 1 &= \frac{1}{24}\big(x^4+4x^3+12x^2+24x+24\big)\\
&= \frac{1}{24}\big((x^4+4x^3+6x^2+4x+1) + (6x^2+20x+23)\big)\\
&> \frac{1}{24}\big((x^4+4x^3+6x^2+4x+1) + (6x^2+20x+\frac{50}{3})\big)\\
&= \frac{1}{24}\big((x+1)^4 + 6(x+\frac53)^2\big)\\
&> 0.
\end{aligned}$$

A: This one is pretty standard. A generalization is given by Hardy in Pure Mathematics. I will quote his argument verbatim.
Let $$f_{n}(x) = 1 + x + \frac{x^{2}}{2!} + \cdots + \frac{x^{n}}{n!}\tag{1}$$ then $f_{n}(x) = 0$ has one real root if $n$ is odd and none if $n$ is even.
"Assume this proved for $n = 1, 2,\ldots, 2k$. Then $f_{2k + 1}(x) = 0$ has at least one real root, since its degree is odd, and it cannot have more since, if it had, $f'_{2k + 1}(x)$ or $f_{2k}(x)$ would have to vanish at least once. Hence $f_{2k + 1}(x) = 0$ has just one root, and so $f_{2k + 2}(x) = 0$ cannot have more than two. If it has two, say $\alpha$ and $\beta$, then $f'_{2k + 2}(x)$ or $f_{2k + 1}(x)$ must vanish once at least between $\alpha$ and $\beta$, say at $\gamma$; and $$f_{2k + 2}(\gamma) = f_{2k + 1}(\gamma) + \frac{\gamma^{2k + 2}}{(2k + 2)!} > 0$$ but $f_{2k + 2}(x)$ is also positive when $x$ is large (positively or negatively), and a glance at a figure will show that these results are contradictory. Hence $f_{2k + 2}(x) = 0$ has no real roots."
The above paragraph completes Hardy's concise and fully rigorous argument. Now let's see the analytic equivalent of the italicized statement in above paragraph (i.e. obtain the contradiction without graph). Since $f_{2k + 2}(x)$ has only two roots $\alpha,\beta$ and say $\alpha < \beta$ and $\lim_{x \to \pm\infty}f_{2k + 2}(x) = +\infty$ and $f_{2k + 2}(\gamma) > 0$, it follows that the function $f_{2k + 2}(x)$ is positive in $(-\infty, \alpha), (\alpha, \beta), (\beta, \infty)$. It follows that $\alpha, \beta$ are points of minima of $f_{2k + 2}(x)$ and there is at least one maximum in the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$. It follows that there are three distinct points of local extrema for $f_{2k + 2}(x)$ and hence its derivative $f'_{2k + 2}(x) = f_{2k + 1}(x)$ vanishes thrice and this is contrary to what we have proved above. The proof is now complete by induction over $n$.
Your current question deals with $f_{5}(x) = 0$ and clearly it has only one root.

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah is known for his intensity and competitiveness on the basketball court, and it appears it stretches off it too.
The 29-year-old played some one-on-one with the youngsters at a Noah's Arc Foundation event in Chicago, and despite their age, he wasn't about to let them score against him so easily.
Although he did eventually help one young man to get his shot off, it was a particularly impressive show of blocking and intercepting from the Bulls big man, who will hope to put the practice to good use when he returns to action later this year.
Having spoken about his excitement over the new roster that the Bulls front office has assembled this off-season, Noah will continue to be an integral part of the franchise's success as they look to finally end their wait for another championship.
Chicago have added Pau Gasol, Nikola Mirotic and Aaron Brooks amongst others this summer, and despite missing out on Carmelo Anthony, coach Tom Thibodeau will hope he has the weapons in place to take them to the next level.

Governor Signs Bill Mandating Expansion of Testing of Newborns for Genetic Disorders
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) last week signed a bill (SB 142) that will provide $2.7 million to expand infant testing for rare genetic diseases, the Contra Costa Times reports (Kleffman, Contra Costa Times , 8/22). The bill, sponsored by Sens. Deirdre Alpert (D-San Diego), Jackie Speier (D-San Mateo) and Sheila Kuehl (D-Los Angeles), will require hospitals to test for all detectable metabolic and genetic disorders ( California Healthline , 8/4). Currently, the state tests only for four categories of disorders, including phenylketonuria, galactosemia, primary congenital hypothyroidism and sickle cell disease. Under the bill, infants will be screened for 76 additional birth disorders using a testing method called tandem mass spectrometry. Additional disorders to be tested for include fatty acid oxidation, amino acid and organic acid disorders and congenital adrenal hyperplasia ( Contra Costa Times , 8/22).
Expanding a Pilot Program
The program, to be implemented by Aug. 1, 2005, will bring California in line with 42 other states and essentially would make permanent an 18-month pilot program involving about 50% of California hospitals. The pilot program, which began in 2002, ended in 2003 because of budget concerns. Increased efficiency has reduced the cost of a screening to about $60 per infant -- roughly the same price for the current test ( California Healthline , 8/4). However, to finance the expansion, state officials in January plan to raise the testing fee from $60 to $78, according to George Cunningham, chief of the genetic disease branch of the Department of Health Services. The Times reports that most public and private health plans cover the fee ( Contra Costa Times , 8/22).

One might have completely different ways through which one might get the kind of life one needs. One way through which one might achieve the kind of luxurious living one needs is by spending a lot of money. But on what might a person spend money in order to make his or her living extravagant and elegant. That depends on the personal style of the person involved and more often than not a person feels compelled to make sure he does it right. This is partly because of his or her own priorities of style and partly also because the person feels that he or she can impress the people in the world. They can make a style statement by living a stylized and fashionable lifestyle. There are different ways through which a person might be able to achieve this. One might be wearing high fashion clothes or might be dining in high end restaurants and clubs. One might be going to expensive gymnasiums or even owning very expensive cars. Many people even have exclusive and exotic pets in order to reflect their opulence to the others around them.
One most important way one expresses their high ended living condition is by staying at great accommodations. An accommodation in today's day and age is not simply a place to stay for people. It is an important part of the style statement one wants to portray. One might say that one has the money to live in a luxurious studio apartment and at this point another might say that why to spend the kind of money one can for living in a huge bungalow , to actually stay in an apartment. At this point the difference turns up between two people, regarding their personal style and opinions. Therefore a luxury accommodation in Hunter Valley is not a simple place to stay; it differs from customer to customer and from one style to another. With the huge amount of options available now, one can have a large degree of liberty from which one might be able to choose. There was a time when housing would be only related to the two or maximum three kinds of staying places. For the super-rich or affluent, it would either be big houses, for the average earners it might be apartments and for lower income groups it might be a string of houses developed by the government available in lower rents. But that is no more the case now. There are different types of housings available for each stratum of the populations and always the rich do not stay in the big houses. It is the locality or the style of the house that might cause the increase in its price. Therefore one might stay in a duplex which is smaller than a bungalow and still pay a large amount of rent.
Therefore we can now see that these days one can actually find different types of housings and one might not need to worry much regarding the prices as a whole lot of options are available for one to choose from.

Harmonic Distortion

Home / Technical Articles / Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion is caused by nonlinear devices in the power system. A nonlinear device is one in which the current is not proportional to the applied voltage. Figure 1 illustrates this concept by the case of a sinusoidal voltage applied to a simple nonlinear resistor in which the voltage and current vary according to the curve shown. While the applied voltage is perfectly sinusoidal, the resulting current is distorted.
Increasing the voltage by a few percent may cause the current to double and take on a different waveshape. This is the source of most harmonic distortion in a power system.
Figure 1 Current distortion caused by nonlinear resistance.
Figure 2 illustrates that any periodic, distorted waveform can be expressed as a sum of sinusoids. When a waveform is identical from one cycle to the next, it can be represented as a sum of pure sine waves in which the frequency of each sinusoid is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of the distorted wave. This multiple is called a harmonic of the fundamental, hence the name of this subject matter.
The sum of sinusoids is referred to as a Fourier series, named after the great mathematician who discovered the concept.
Because of the above property, the Fourier series concept is universally applied in analyzing harmonic problems. The system can now be analyzed separately at each harmonic. In addition, finding the system response of a sinusoid of each harmonic individually is much more straightforward compared to that with the entire distorted waveforms. The outputs at each frequency are then combined to form a new Fourier series, from which the output waveform may be computed, if desired.
Often, only the magnitudes of the harmonics are of interest. When both the positive and negative half cycles of a waveform have identical shapes, the Fourier series contains only odd harmonics. This offers a further simplification for most power system studies because most common harmonic-producing devices look the same to both polarities. In fact, the presence of even harmonics is often a clue that there is something wrong – either with the load equipment or with the transducer used to make the measurement.
There are notable exceptions to this such as half-wave rectifiers and arc furnaces when the arc is random.
Figure 2 Fourier series representation of a distorted waveform
Usually, the higher-order harmonics (above the range of the 25th to 50th, depending on the system) are negligible for power system analysis.
While they may cause interference with low-power electronic devices, they are usually not damaging to the power system. It is also difficult to collect sufficiently accurate data to model power systems at these frequencies. Acommon exception to this occurs when there are system resonances in the range of frequencies. These resonances can be excited by notching or switching transients in electronic power converters. This causes voltage waveforms with multiple zero crossings which disrupt timing circuits. These resonances generally occur on systems with underground cable but no power factor correction capacitors.
If the power system is depicted as series and shunt elements, as is the conventional practice, the vast majority of the nonlinearities in the system are found in shunt elements (i.e., lods). The series impedance of the power delivery system (i.e., the short-circuit impedance between the source and the load) is remarkably linear. In transformers, also, the source of harmonics is the shunt branch (magnetizing impedance) of the common "T" model; the leakage impedance is linear.
Thus, the main sources of harmonic distortion will ultimately be end-user loads. This is not to say that all end users who experience harmonic distortion will themselves have significant sources of harmonics, but that the har-monic distortion generally originates with some end-user's load or combination of loads.

I have a deep love for disposable film cameras. I'm always amazed you can still buy them! Film cameras and film stocks are going out of production on a daily basis, but these little gems hang on. They're easy to use, a bit unpredictable, and you don't have to be too precious with them. Just perfect for experimenting!
Our film feature for today was shot entirely on disposable cameras from Belgian photographer Sven Brauer. His images show the amount of fun you can have and the unique outcomes you can get from these film cameras.
I started taking pictures more or less a year ago. I saw a disposable camera in a shop and thought I should give it a try. I immediately fell in love with film, especially disposable cameras. They're so easy to use, but, on the other hand, they can restrict you quite a lot.
The pictures themselves were mostly taken in Brussels, Belgium, where I live, or on the Belgian countryside, where my parents live. I like geometry and architecture, and lighting is very dear to my heart. I don't have anything in mind when I shoot; I just roam the streets and keep my eyes peeled. Everything can be a subject.
I am very lucky to have a friend who has been shooting for some time and motivates me to go out and test new things. I develop all of my rolls of film with him, and we exchange a lot of ideas and thoughts during that. I am very thankful for this.

The acronym CHAID stands for Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector. It is one of the oldest tree classification methods originally proposed by Kass (1980). According to Ripley, 1996, the CHAID algorithm is a descendent of THAID developed by Morgan and Messenger, (1973). CHAID will "build" non-binary trees (i.e., trees where more than two branches can attach to a single root or node), based on a relatively simple algorithm that is particularly well suited for the analysis of larger datasets. Also, because the CHAID algorithm will often effectively yield many multi-way frequency tables (e.g., when classifying a categorical response variable with many categories, based on categorical predictors with many classes), it has been particularly popular in marketing research, in the context of market segmentation studies.
Both CHAID and C&RT techniques will construct trees, where each (non-terminal) node identifies a split condition, to yield optimum prediction (of continuous dependent or response variables) or classification (for categorical dependent or response variables). Hence, both types of algorithms can be applied to analyze regression-type problems or classification-type.
CHAID is a recursive partitioning method.
Preparing predictors. The first step is to create categorical predictors out of any continuous predictors by dividing the respective continuous distributions into a number of categories with an approximately equal number of observations. For categorical predictors, the categories (classes) are "naturally" defined.
Merging categories. The next step is to cycle through the predictors to determine for each predictor the pair of (predictor) categories that is least significantly different with respect to the dependent variable; for classification problems (where the dependent variable is categorical as well), it will compute a Chi-square test (Pearson Chi-square); for regression problems (where the dependent variable is continuous), F tests. If the respective test for a given pair of predictor categories is not statistically significant as defined by an alpha-to-merge value, then it will merge the respective predictor categories and repeat this step (i.e., find the next pair of categories, which now may include previously merged categories). If the statistical significance for the respective pair of predictor categories is significant (less than the respective alpha-to-merge value), then (optionally) it will compute a Bonferroni adjusted p-value for the set of categories for the respective predictor.
Selecting the split variable. The next step is to choose the split the predictor variable with the smallest adjusted p-value, i.e., the predictor variable that will yield the most significant split; if the smallest (Bonferroni) adjusted p-value for any predictor is greater than some alpha-to-split value, then no further splits will be performed, and the respective node is a terminal node.
Continue this process until no further splits can be performed (given the alpha-to-merge and alpha-to-split values).
CHAID and Exhaustive CHAID Algorithms. A modification to the basic CHAID algorithm, called Exhaustive CHAID, performs a more thorough merging and testing of predictor variables, and hence requires more computing time. Specifically, the merging of categories continues (without reference to any alpha-to-merge value) until only two categories remain for each predictor. The algorithm then proceeds as described above in the Selecting the split variable step, and selects among the predictors the one that yields the most significant split. For large datasets, and with many continuous predictor variables, this modification of the simpler CHAID algorithm may require significant computing time.
Reviewing large trees: Unique analysis management tools. A general issue that arises when applying tree classification or regression methods is that the final trees can become very large. In practice, when the input data are complex and, for example, contain many different categories for classification problems, and many possible predictors for performing the classification, then the resulting trees can become very large. This is not so much a computational problem as it is a problem of presenting the trees in a manner that is easily accessible to the data analyst, or for presentation to the "consumers" of the research.
Analyzing ANCOVA-like designs. The classic CHAID algorithms can accommodate both continuous and categorical predictor. However, in practice, it is not uncommon to combine such variables into analysis of variance/covariance (ANCOVA) like predictor designs with main effects or interaction effects for categorical and continuous predictors. This method of analyzing coded ANCOVA-like designs is relatively new. However, it is easy to see how the use of coded predictor designs expands these powerful classification and regression techniques to the analysis of data from experimental.
For classification-type problems (categorical dependent variable), all three algorithms can be used to build a tree for prediction. QUEST is generally faster than the other two algorithms, however, for very large datasets, the memory requirements are usually larger, so using the QUEST algorithms for classification with very large input data sets may be impractical.
For regression-type problems (continuous dependent variable), the QUEST algorithm is not applicable, so only CHAID and C&RT can be used. CHAID will build non-binary trees that tend to be "wider". This has made the CHAID method particularly popular in market research applications: CHAID often yields many terminal nodes connected to a single branch, which can be conveniently summarized in a simple two-way table with multiple categories for each variable or dimension of the table. This type of display matches well the requirements for research on market segmentation, for example, it may yield a split on a variable Income, dividing that variable into 4 categories and groups of individuals belonging to those categories that are different with respect to some important consumer-behavior related variable (e.g., types of cars most likely to be purchased). C&RT will always yield binary trees, which can sometimes not be summarized as efficiently for interpretation and/or presentation.
As far as predictive accuracy is concerned, it is difficult to derive general recommendations, and this issue is still the subject of active research. As a practical matter, it is best to apply different algorithms, perhaps compare them with user-defined interactively derived trees, and decide on the most reasonably and best performing model based on the prediction errors. For a discussion of various schemes for combining predictions from different models, see, for example, Witten and Frank, 2000.

Years ago the Hilton Foundation gave St. Catherine University money to support outreach around the Sisters, broadly construed. Why? Because in their research on ROI, they found that money given to Sisters to do good in the world yielded the largest returns. Sisters have a history of maximizing benefits. In our practice at St. Kate's we, with a faculty of varying faiths and identities, channel the Sisters' practices of hospitality, generosity, the Catholic Intellectual Tradition and treating our dear neighbors as ourselves to serve the greater good in our work with students and the community. Unity around this shared purpose is what makes working and learning here uniquely wonderful. Anyway, if you are a lover of podcasts, good stories, history, or community you might consider the series shared here. A suitable addition to National Women's History Month as well as National Catholic Sisters Week in March.
No pattern to a unit/module. This is a functional component for students; if students can predict what comes next they are thinking about their learning. If you are just starting out, consider either creating one complete unit first or adding the same element/item to each unit at once. For instance add all discussion posts first, then go back and add all submissions to each unit – keep that symmetry as it equals predictability! Consider 3 Things your Online Content Says about You.

Indian integrator Godrej Agrovet plans to invest $12-13 mln, along with its partner, into its Bangladesh joint venture ACI Godrej Agrovet to expand capacity.
The company plans to expand its animal feeds capacity from the present 120,000 t to 250,000 t per year in 6-months time.
"We also intend to raise the production of chicks from 1 mln/month to 2 mln/month in 12-18 months time," said MD B.S. Yadav, adding that funds for fuelling the expansion will be raised through debt, equity, if needed, and internal accruals.
The Godrej group company, which is a leader in India in animal feeds, is betting big on this segment and intends to give a strong thrust to this business in the coming years.
The company is aiming over $40 mln jump in its animal feeds business from approx. $199 mln in 2009 to $238 mln in 2010.

Consistent communication benefits the group by keeping the whole team informed of progress or any changes that may take place. Communication can take the form of weekly meetings, team emails, group calls, and even team lunches. Whatever the method, great teams have great communication.
Conflict is a part of teamwork and overcoming it is a necessary step in creating an exceptional team. Professional disagreements over an issue can be beneficial to the group. Productive communication will help keep the unnecessary conflict from happening. Avoid comments or remarks that make the disagreements personal, rather than professional. Conflict is an opportunity to grow and everyone on the team should be open to challenges.
Take opportunities to break away from the norm. Have a team party, such as a potluck or cookout, to reward reaching a milestone on the team's work. For teams that are fairly permanent, team retreats give the team members a chance to get to interact as a group outside of the workplace and usually incorporate many team building activities. Getting your team away from work, but still interacting, helps build strong connections between team members and fosters team growth.
In your team, whether it is small or large, new or old, temporary or permanent, having strong teamwork is vital to your success. By defining your team, working through conflict, and building your team, both on a daily basis and through special events, you will find an increased willingness to cooperate with your team.

We may want to know the number of words in a given string and the average word length. The English text contains words (i. e., sequences of letters) separated by spaces, newlines and punctuation marks such as period, comma, semicolon, colon, quotation marks, exclamation, question mark, etc. It is quite a difficult job to separate the words from these punctuation marks. However, this task is greatly simplified when we use the powerful strtok function provided in the standard C library. The program given below determines the number of words in a given string and the average word length.
The function dstr_read given below reads a string from the keyboard into array buf, stores it in dynamically allocated memory and returns a pointer to it.
The function accepts two strings, str1 and str2, as parameters of type char * and exchanges their contents. Note that the strcpy function is used to copy the strings and a local character array is used to store string strl temporarily. This function can be called from the main function to exchange strings as shown below.
Single characters can be replaced in a string. Given the following declarations, several things are possible.
String Processing (Storing Strings and String Operations) : In C, a string is stored as a null-terminated char array. This means that after the last truly usable char there is a null, hex 00, which is represented in C by '\0'. The subscripts used for the array start with zero (0). The following line declares a char array called str.
The standard C library provides several functions for converting strings to numbers of all formats (integers, longs, floats, and so on) and vice versa.
In C language, a string is defined as a variable length array of characters terminated by the null character ('\O'). Letters such as A, b, C, etc., digits such as 1, 2, 3, etc., and special symbols such as +,- ,*,  , () , etc., except a few control characters, may be included in a string. The various functions of C Standard Library for manipulation of strings are contained in header file <string.h>.
A string is defined to be an array of characters. If it is desired to have an array of strings such as a list of names, it becomes similar to an array whose elements are also arrays. Therefore, an array of strings is a two-dimensional array; it may be declared as below.
A macro may be used in the definition of another macro as illustrated below.
Macros may also be created by #define. Here the identifier can have parameters but types of parameters are not mentioned.
The token # single in its own line is null directive. It is simply neglected by compiler. Thus, if the code is simply as given below, it is neglected by the compiler.

Sotto orders lockdown as 2 senators go on self-quarantine over Covid-19 fears
reyfort
Front Page Headlines
SENATORS Sherwin Gatchalian and Maria Lourdes "Nancy" Binay have opted to self-quarantine after they were exposed to a male individual who tested positive for the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
Meanwhile, Senate President Vicente Sotto 3rd has ordered a lockdown of the Senate building to disinfect it as all public hearings have been canceled.
"Lockdown na muna (It will be locked down). The Senate will be disinfected tomorrow (March 12)," Sotto said adding that closed circuit televisions (CCTVs) will be reviewed to determine who were the other people the Covid-19 carrier interacted with.
In a statement, Gatchalian said, "I have recently been informed that a resource person who attended the hearing of the Committee on Basic Education, Arts and Culture last March 5, 2020, which I chair, has tested positive for Covid-19."
"Though I am asymptomatic and feel healthy, I will follow government set protocols on such cases and go into self-quarantine immediately given that I interacted with the said individual during that committee hearing. I instructed all my staff to do the same especially those who had direct contact with the said person too," he added.
Binay said, "Following the decision of Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian to go into self-quarantine, I have likewise decided to take similar precautions and self-monitor for the next 14 days."
She said Gatchalian and I were present during the March 5 hearing. "It is with a heavy heart to learn that one of our resource speakers has been tested positive for Covid-19," she said.
Binay had asked her staff to do the same and take precautionary steps to limit face-to-face interactions.
"With close to 50 people already tested positive, it only shows that the exposure to the virus is real, and there's a high chance that someone out there is a carrier," she said.
"This is a serious public health matter and I enjoin everyone who came in contact with me in the past week to take the same precautions and observe all the basic hygienic processes," Binay said.
The senator from Makati added, "Let us continue to pray for the containment of the corona virus. Prayer will always be our first line of defense." (B. Tamayo, TMT)

Q: how to check in array if key exists in a separate array and print respective values? So, i have 2 arrays. One is with key and values, the other one is just keys. I need to check if keys in first array are matched with the keys from second array and print respective value. Goal is to make a csv.
First print keys from second array on the top and then print respective values below for each array which is obtained from some api. Right now the problem is that values are not printed respectfully with keys.
For printing values i have this function:
function displayArrayRecursively($arr, $vars) {
    if ($arr) {
        foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
            if (is_array($key)) {
                //
                displayArrayRecursively($key, $vars);
            }
            elseif (is_array($value)) {
                //
                displayArrayRecursively($value, $vars);
            }
            else {
                //  Output
                $value = $value ? str_replace(array("\r\n", "\n\r", "\r", "\n", PHP_EOL), "", $value): '';

                foreach ($vars as $var) {
                    if ($key === $var) {
                        echo(strip_tags($value) . "~");
                    }
                }
                }

            }
        }
}

Vars are something like this:
$vars = array(    ...
    "email_direkt",
    "tel_zentrale",
    "ausstatt_beschr",
    "id",
    "ji_objektstatus",
    "ji_objektstatus_id",
    "bauart_id",
    "url"
);

Thanks.

A: I hope this is what youre after
First we have your source of data in $array, and then the keys you want to pick out, if you need them sorted, you can use the array_merge thing below.
The array_intersect_key will filter out keys based on the second paramter,
$array = array('a'=>'AAA','b'=>'BBB','c'=>'CCC','d'=>'DDD','e'=>'EEE');

$keys = array('e','a','c');

$result = array_intersect_key( $array, array_flip( $keys ) ); // AAA/CCC/EEE

// Additional sort
$result = array_merge( array_flip( $keys ), $result ); // EEE/AAA/CCC


As all dictators know, there are three things you need to control in order to subjugate a country. First, you must have command of the military and the police, so you can protect yourself and coerce others. Force, however, is not the best way to control people, especially a lot of them, as it uses much resource and breeds resentment. Better is to change minds. So the next control is of the media, including all newspapers, radio and television. Control of the internet has been a particularly thorny issue for a number of less liberal countries and censorship has been common in places such as China. The last area of control is education. If you can manage what children are taught, you can build 'right' minds without the need later to change them. China again has strong nationalistic elements throughout their school system.
It's a big subject for a blog, so for now, let's just consider television. In his recent book, The Invention of Russia, Arkady Otrovsky explains the power of television in the recent years of transition within Russia. In particular, during the period of transition during the 1990s, when there was a broad hope for a Western-style freedom, television channels emulated the style and content of European TV, portraying a society. It was like television was trying to define the country and was surprisingly effective in creating belief that the full trappings of democracy had really arrived. A reason for this is that the Russians were trained to believe in ideologies and signals under the Soviet system.
The oligarchs who owned television were impressed with their success and, feeling the power at their fingertips, decided that they could run the country. They chose a relatively unknown official, Vladimir Putin as their puppet and he soon rose to power with their solid TV support. However Putin is nobody's puppet and promptly took over the TV system. He also runs the military effectively and is now looks like he will be in charge for a long time.
Meanwhile in the UK, for many a paragon of democracy, the Conservative government is busy working to wrest away the independence and authority of the BBC. As a (theoretically at least) independent broadcaster, the BBC has been long suspected as being rather too socially minded and a bit too liberal for our rather right wing government, who have put John Whittingdale, a known disliker of the BBC system, in charge of 'reform'. The Conservatives are also much cheered by the election of leader of the opposition (Jeremy Corbyn) who looks likely to lose the next general election and are also going ahead with redrawing electoral boundaries to further lock opponents out of power for what could be decades. Will we become an effective one-party state? It seems possible.


The recipient of the Humanitarian award should be someone in the Midwest Region who goes above and beyond for the region, and/or CFA, for their breed or cats in general. Their contributions can be in veterinary medicine, research, legal arena, rescue, breed rescue, or someone who represents or promotes CFA and/or the region in a very positive light. This is NOT an annual award but rather a way to recognize a person that we can all benefit from knowing.

Tributes have poured in from across the political spectrum for ex-Labour cabinet minister Tessa Jowell, who has died aged 70.
Baroness Jowell, who played a key role in securing the 2012 London Olympics, was diagnosed with brain cancer in May last year and died on Saturday.
Ex-PM Tony Blair said she left an "enormous" legacy as "everything she touched turned to gold in some way".
He and others praised the campaigning she did for more NHS cancer treatments.
Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, said she was a "remarkable woman" who had sounded a "national call to arms" about the need to spend more on researching the causes of brain cancer.
"She leaves a deep legacy with the potential to benefit many thousands of other cancer patients long into the future," he said.
Lady Jowell earned a minute-long standing ovation in the House of Lords in January for speaking about her condition.
Leading the tributes to Lady Jowell, Mr Blair said she was a "committed public servant" who was "always true and loyal and decent and wise".
"She knew she was dying and yet she was prepared to give everything she had in order to help people in the future.
"If anyone wants to know what politics can achieve they can just look at her life and how she lived it, and how she ended it as a testimony to all that's best in politics."
He said her impact on politics was "enormous", adding that "everything she touched turned to gold in some way, whether it was advancing equal pay for women, starting Sure Start - which is an immense programme for children in our country - or of course bringing the Olympics to Britain".
Prime Minister Theresa May said the dignity and courage with which Lady Jowell had confronted her illness was "humbling" and "inspirational", and her campaigning was a "lasting tribute to a lifetime of public service".
Former prime minister Gordon Brown said Lady Jowell would be remembered for her "courage, strength and compassion for others".
Sarah Lindsell, CEO of the Brain Tumour Charity, said the charity had started working with "wonderful ambassador" Lady Jowell towards the end of last year, and she praised her campaigning for cancer patients.
"Despite going through all of that and wanting to spend precious time with her family... she gave up so much of that time to continue to campaign, to ask for change, because it really matters," she told the BBC.
Figures from the world of sport praised her involvement as culture secretary in bringing the Olympic Games to London.
Lord Sebastian Coe, president of the IAAF and former chairman of the London organising committee of the Olympic Games, said London 2012 would not have happened without Lady Jowell.
"She showed unflinching tenacity in persuading the prime minister and the cabinet that the government should throw its full weight behind the bid," he said.
Footballer David Beckham, who was an ambassador during the Olympic bid, posted on Instagram that "amazing woman" Lady Jowell "will be missed by so many".
Four-time gold medal winning rower Sir Matthew Pinsent also paid tribute to Lady Jowell's determination to bring the Olympic Games to London.
Dame Katherine Grainger, the former rower who won an Olympic gold in 2012 and is now chair of UK Sport, said Lady Jowell was "a true believer in the power and inspiration of sport".
And Lady Grey-Thompson, the former Paralympian who was in the Lords to hear Lady Jowell's final speech, spoke of her passion for the Paralympics and her "amazing ability to pull people together".
"She always talked about the Olympics and Paralympics, it wasn't an afterthought," she told BBC News. "She really drove home the fact that the two games had to be together."
Elsewhere, tributes have flooded in from Lady Jowell's colleagues in Westminster.
Former acting leader of the Labour Party Harriet Harman said Lady Jowell was "clear and tough", a woman who "followed her personal instinct" and "nurtured personal relationships".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn praised her "huge achievements" and her "strength in raising awareness of her illness".
Wes Streeting, Labour MP for Ilford North - the first seat that Lady Jowell attempted to get elected to in 1978 - said she had been "determined to make a real difference".
And other MPs talked about the sadness they felt on hearing of her death.
Lady Jowell once said she'd "jump under a bus" for Tony Blair. She was probably only half-joking. However, her loyalty to New Labour was more than simply tactical or careerist.
She was pro-European and in favour of a mixed-economy when both were deeply unfashionable on the left. Her belief that Labour should "modernise" was passionately held - forged at the coal face of a decade of Labour local activism.
Lady Jowell will be remembered at Westminster as someone who managed to be ideologically committed to her cause without overt sectarian bitterness.
Lady Jowell, a former social worker, first stood for Parliament in a 1978 by-election in Ilford North on the Essex-London border. She lost to her Conservative rival and was defeated again the following year.
She made it to Westminster in 1992, as MP for Dulwich and West Norwood. In 1997, she was one of the 101 female Labour MPs on the benches following the party's landslide victory.
Lady Jowell was employment minister and minister for women, before joining the cabinet as culture secretary in 2001, during which she helped bring the Olympic Games to London.

James Johnson & Aperus: Ecotone
June 26, 2013 HypnagogueLeave a comment
Ecotone is an intriguing collaboration that takes its listener through several zones of sound, all along the way cleaving just enough to Eno's definition of ambient music, without being immovably adhered to it, to make the comparison valid. James Johnson and Aperus center their work in that same gracefully deliberate delivery of each note, the sense of airy sparseness that manifests in keeping a respectful if not meditative distance from one note to another. It can be played at an innocuous volume and still retain its strong emotional force, and reveals in close and focused listens an amazing amount of depth and small-sound detail. And on top of all that, it's flat-out gorgeous, whatever form it happens to be taking at any given moment. The duo improvised and recorded two hours of material in the studio, after which Aperus (aka Brian McWilliams) went back in to work a little remixing/restructuring magic. And so we get, on one hand, Eno-esque explorations like "Crow Over Walnut Canyon," with echoing piano, a soft underscore of pads, and hints of thunder; or "The Long Goodbye," with its patient Thursday Afternoon-style keys, raspy punctuations of guitar, and subtle field sounds, all floating on rich pads that roll in like a textbook ambient swell. On another hand, the opener, "Descending Arc," exists a bit on the shadowy and near-dissonant side in spots. Chimes reminiscent of gamelan clatter and call as bass notes, piano and bird songs fill the space. "The Moth Jar" somewhat follows suit, using a clashing metal sound in places to add that air of dissonance to play against wavering, dream-haze keys. It's an effective use of the sharp in the midst of the soft, and it's not overdone.
Ecotone is an amazing piece of work. You need to dedicate several listen to just tuning in to the small stuff, the random sounds and field recording, the clicks and hums and clatters that form a sort of sonic scrim hanging in the back. The intricacy at work here is stunning, and more so for the fact that it works at low or normal volume. As a background listen, the pervasive calm–even in the darker spots–works its way into you, and there are points that just make you need to stop and be in that moment. It has a lyrical quality that's slowly and beautifully meted out. You will end up keeping this on loop. If Ecotone doesn't make every "Best Of" list out there this year, it can only mean that whomever didn't include it simply never heard it.

The sun broke through the clouds early this morning, showcasing camp in it's fullest glory and energizing everyone for the busy day ahead. During the NBC rotations in the morning, the campers hiked, created delicious gingerbread A-Frames, and wowed the crowed with dramatic interpretations of the parable of the lost sheep. After a restful FOB (Flat on Bunk), we went into afternoon options. Fears were faced and conquered on TTR's famous giant swing and the BMX course. The slip and slide offered a relief from the summery weather and geocaching offered an awesome challenge. Dinner was cooked over open fires at the river for a traditional TTR cookout, complete with rock skipping, bridge building, and s'mores. The day came to a close around the campfire with stories, songs, and laughter.

Human beings have autopilots when it comes to doing what you really want to do. And so I was able to continue making photos, albeit a bit slower than before. We were expecting a freight train to Samedan and decided to wait for it at Bever station. We also knew from yesterday's observations that the next train from Chur could be hauled by a mighty Ge6/6 II engine. Our memory served us well, as in warm sunlight we saw number 707 of the aforementioned class enter the station.

Game 57: Anthony Davis will play on second night of back-to-back against Memphis Grizzlies
The New Orleans Pelicans, who are supposedly looking to the future, are on a two-game winning streak...

Share All sharing options for: Game 57: Anthony Davis will play on second night of back-to-back against Memphis Grizzlies
Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
Considering Anthony Davis was coming off an injury, where he missed nine games, and the optics of a trade request ten days ago, the New Orleans Pelicans were all set to handle AD with kids gloves moving forward.
Before yesterday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Alvin Gentry announced to pregame media that Davis would be held to a much lighter load than his typical 36+ minutes per game average. Thus, many expected the New Orleans Pelicans to hold Davis out in tonight's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies after appearing in 25 minutes less than 24 hours ago.
Here's what to expect with Anthony Davis' usage the rest of way with Pelicans: Fewer, if any, back-to-backs and a reduction in minutes from his 37 per game.
So, of course, Davis is going to play tonight!
#Pelicans Head Coach Alvin Gentry says Anthony Davis will play tonight at Memphis.
— Daniel Sallerson (@dsallerson) February 9, 2019
Are we all ready to hold our breaths collectively, say a prayer to Jobu and prepare ourselves however else best we can???
