A Infancy to Innovation Guide is a person available to help you and/or your agency or department navigate an unfamiliar system. For example, you can contact a guide to obtain suggestions, advice, or recommendations regarding who you should contact in order to establish a partnership related to the Infancy to Innovation framework. This relationship could be as straightforward as a faculty member seeking out a community group to partner during the grant writing process or a community member trying to find expert advice on a policy issue. Infancy to Innovation guides can be found in the university as well as in the community; they can be thought of as aids, brokers, or "critical bridge" people.
Although the Infancy to Innovation framework aims to create systemic change to support healthy child and youth development at the organizational, system, and community level, we appreciate that the underpinnings of such changes are often face-to-face, individual relationships and efforts.
Susan Ostrander, in her article on university-community partnerships, Democracy, Civic Society, and the University: A Comparative Study of Civic Engagement on Five Campuses (2004), recommends that collaboration involve both freestanding associations joining community and university, with university staff and community members who serve as "critical bridge persons." The Infancy to Innovation framework takes Ostrander's proposal a step further in the creation of a website that aids in the development of an organizational structure to support sustainable engagement and enact the necessary changes at the system level.
The website emphasizes the need to institutionalize university-community partnerships as well as maintain connections among universities and communities on multiple levels. Infancy to Innovation guides offer a means to overcome many of the common challenges to university and community partnerships.

Chicago has been inhabited and sustained by Native Americans for millennia and into the present, when it has the third-largest population of urbanized Native Americans in the United States, and so it is a paradigmatic site for our work. In collaboration with the American Indian Center, the first urban-based Native community center in the United States, we will carry out a biennial program of interrelated public projects to engage, document, and interpret Chicago's conjoined Indigenous and settler colonial histories. These projects will comprise platforms for exploration of those conjoined histories; bridges between Indigenous communities, urban communities in struggle, and formal actors in the built environment such as activists, architects, and planners; and legacies of the preceding in the form of political initiatives and publications.
You can contact us at settlercolonialcityproject@gmail.com.
At the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Settler Colonial City Project worked in partnership with the American Indian Center of Chicago. This website is one of the results of this partnership. The following people and organizations were part of SCCP in Chicago:

The following people contributed their knowledge and insight to the work of the project:
Ayala Levin, Northwestern University
John N. Low (Pokagon), Ohio State University
Heather Miller (Wyandotte), American Indian Center
Tim Samuelson, Chicago Cultural Center
Meredith TenHoor, Pratt Institute
Funding support provided by the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Department of the History of Art at the University of Michigan, the Global Architectural History Collaborative, the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, and the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
The Settler Colonial City Project labors in the traditional territories of the Council of the Three Fires—the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and Potawatomi. We recognize Indigenous sovereignty, the ongoing effects of colonization and colonial state violence, and the global struggle for self-determination of Indigenous communities.

Military Law Lawyer
Maybe you joined the military because you wanted to serve your country, or wanted to see the world or wanted to make use of the educational and training benefits. Regardless of the reasons for your service, the military expected and demanded a great deal from you. You have given up fundamental Constitutional freedoms, you have sacrificed at every turn, your spouse and family have endured hardships, and you likely have been deployed multiple times and stood in harm's way. In return you had certain expectations from the military. You expected to be treated as an adult, to be treated with dignity and respect and, most importantly, to be treated fairly. You're reading this because somewhere along the line there has been a breakdown in the disciplinary process and you feel you have been treated unfairly, discriminated against, or just plain wronged.
If you believe your military career has suffered because your chain of command failed to properly investigate and handle accusations against you, or listened to poor advice from their JAG, or harmed your career because they were doing what their superiors expected of them, there are remedies available to overturn their decisions That you can seek with the assistance of a military law lawyer.
As a retired JAG Colonel (0-6), I've worked both sides of these issues. I have approximately 5 ½ years of service as a Staff Judge Advocate, where I was in charge of my installation's entire disciplinary program and 3 ½ years' experience in the defense community as an Area Defense Counsel and as a Chief Circuit Defense Counsel. I've helped commanders prosecute disciplinary cases and advised them regarding every type of administrative, non-judicial, and judicial action in the UCMJ. I also helped officers and enlisted members defend themselves against the accusations and actions of their commanders. I understand the motivations of commanders when they take administrative or punitive actions, and I know how to best respond on behalf of my clients. I can help you! I'll bring a wealth of personal, hands-on experience as a military law attorney to your case and throughout my long JAG career have developed the insights and techniques necessary to help you successfully fight the system that has wronged you.
Most importantly, I bring outstanding judgment to your case. Certain aspects of military law are complex and complicated. Judgment can only be acquired through extensive experience and knowing what has worked or not worked in the past with a case similar to yours. You've heard it said many times I'm sure, that there is no substitute for experience. Nowhere is that more true than in the practice of military law. The last thing you want is a well-intentioned but inexperienced young lawyer working on your case when it is the first case of that type he or she has seen. Experience and judgment combined with hard work and persistence is the absolute best thing your lawyer can bring to the fight.
Finally, while I respect the military discipline system, I recognize that commanders sometimes get it wrong and I am not the least bit hesitant to take on the system for the benefit of my clients. I truly believe that any injustice, no matter how small or seemingly unimportant, weakens the institution of the United States Military, in addition to doing serious damage to some young man or woman's hopes and dreams for a military career. Whether it is direct discussion with your commanders, presenting a written response to an administrative action or representation at various Boards of Corrections, if I'm helping, you can be confident you have a highly knowledgeable retired JAG and military law lawyer who used to be part of the system, fighting for your rights.

Q: Best upper bound for the solution of a maximization problem Let $D \geq 2$ and $n \leq \displaystyle \frac{D}{2}.$ Consider the following maximization problem:
$$\begin{cases}
\displaystyle\arg \max_{x_1, \ldots, x_n} \sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2 \\
\text{s.t.}\\
\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n x_i = D \\
x_i \geq 2 ~\forall i
\end{cases},$$
where $x_i$ are real numbers.
Suppose that $x_1^*, \ldots, x_n^*$ is a solution of the previous problem. Let
$$y^* = \max\{x_1^*, \ldots, x_n^*\}.$$
Of course, $y^* \leq D.$ Anyway, $D$ seems to be a "too large" upper bound. Is there a way to find a "lower" upper bound?

A: The objective is to maximise $\Sigma x_i^2$, and $x_i \geq 2$ with $\Sigma x_i = D$.
Since $x_i\geq 2$, let's start with the basic feasible solution $x_i = 2$. Now, the value of $\Sigma x_i^2$ would be $2^2n=4n$. This is not the optimal solution but just a basic feasible solution.
Now, to approach for optimal point, the $x_i$ values can only be increased but cannot be decreased because we have the constraints $x_i \geq 2$. Suppose we increase all the $x_i$ values with some $\delta \;(>0)$  such that the objective function $\Sigma x_i^2$ becomes maximum. $\delta$ cannot go to infinity because we have the constraint $\Sigma x_i = D$. So, if all the values of $x_i$ are increased by $\delta$ then we can have $x_i = 2 + \delta$, and the constraint would be $n(2+\delta)=D$, from which we can have $\delta = \frac{D}{n}-2$. And since all $x_i$ values have the same value, $y^*$ would be given by $y^* = 2+\delta = 2+ \frac{D}{n} - 2 = \frac{D}{n}$.
In the above step, we have increased all the $x_i$ values from $2$ to $2+\delta$. In other words, we have increased al the $x_i$ values by $\delta$. But if we want to have the upper limit of $y^*$, increasing one of the $x_i$ values by $\delta^*$ and keeping all the other $x_i$ values AT 2 could have one particular value of $x_i$ parameters to have the maximum value whilst the others have the minimum value. If we set $x_1 = 2+\delta_2$ and all the other $x_i$ values to be just $2$, then one of the $x_i$ values would have the maximum value whilst the others would have minimum values. And since $y^*=\max{\{x_1, x_2, ..., x_n\}}$, the upper bound of $y^*$ would be the $x_i$ value that has the maximum value and the others have the minimum value.
Let's say $x_1$ has the maximum value, i.e., $x_i = 2+\delta_2$, and $x_2=x_3=...=x_n = 2$.
Now, by putting these in the constraint $\Sigma x_i = D$, we can have
$$(x_1)+(x_2+x_3+...+x_n) = D$$
$$\Rightarrow (2+\delta_2)+(n-1)\times2 = D$$
$$\Rightarrow (2+\delta_2) = D-2(n-1) = D-2n+2$$
$$\Rightarrow \delta_2 = D-2n+2-2 = D-2n$$.
Any value of $\delta_2$ more than $D-2n$ would make at least one $x_i$ value less than 2, thereby violating at least one of the given constraints of the problem.
Therefore, a better upper bound of $y^*$ is $D-2n+2$.

Colts Players Rallied Around Chuck Pagano After His Tragic Cancer Diagnosis
by Jesse Barnhill on September 9, 2020
We tend to put athletes on such a high pedestal that it's shocking to find out they're human. Scandals shake our beliefs, everyone feels their loss, and when some athletes get the news that they have cancer like Babe Ruth or Chuck Pagano, we're devastated. Perhaps it's because many people have experience with cancer firsthand or otherwise. That's why Chuck Pagano's victory over cancer gives so many fans hope.
Getting the tragic news
Today's @PatMcAfeeShow is incredible. Pat has a one of a kind convo with the man, the myth, the legend Chuck Pagano and its a must listen. Also the boys talk Pats trip to Arizona, what to expect in Atlanta, and attempt to fix the Pro Bowl. Enjoy – https://t.co/eg7zT81n9R pic.twitter.com/LQRmKSjDRY

RELATED: John Cappelletti's Cancer-Stricken Little Brother Led to Heisman Trophy and Heartbreaking Movie
In retrospect, the signs were probably obvious. The Chicago Sun-Times reports, "Chuck Pagano had so many deep purple bruises on his thighs and torso that his wife actually thought he was tackling his players during the Colts' training camp in 2012. He felt so tired that he might as well have been. He pressed on, though, because that's what coaches do in the first year of a job they've dreamed about their whole life."
Pagano had just been named head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. After years of coaching at the college level for the University of Southern California (USC), University of Miami, Boise State University, East Carolina University, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), Pagano had proved he had what it takes to coach in the NFL.
He got his chance in 2001 when he was named as secondary coach for the Cleveland Browns. He would later coach with the Oakland Raiders and the Baltimore Ravens. In 2012, he was named head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Everything seemed to be looking up for him with the exception of those strange bruises.
If it hadn't been for a bye week that happened on week four rather than week nine as planned, Pagano might have found out too late he had leukemia. As it stood, he took that week to go to the Colt's doctor.
Blood work was scheduled, and Pagano finally learned why he was bruising so easily. He had acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Chuck Pagano battled for his life
RELATED: The Tragic Death of Ron Rivera's Brother Inspired the Best Season of His Career
Bruce Arians, the Colts offensive coordinator, was named the interim coach when Pagano made the announcement. Pagano would be out a total of 12 weeks as he battled for his life. Once he received the diagnosis at the hospital, he couldn't even go home because of his compromised immune system.
Treatments began immediately. Pagano had come to the hospital with no expectation that he would be staying overnight, but he ultimately had to stay for the next 26 days.
His time in the hospital didn't prevent him from working, however. The owner of the Colts, Jim Irsay, was horrified to find out that the hospital didn't offer the NFL, and paid to have it piped into every room. The players filmed every practice, so Pagano was able to watch it on his computer.
The team also really reached out to him through FaceTime and text. Pagano was surprised and incredibly moved by the love and respect he got from the players who he hadn't known for long at all. He told the Chicago Sun Times, "They didn't know me or my wife or my family. We'd only been there a short time. But the way that they supported us and myself, wow."
According to the Bleacher Report, the Colts would ultimately finish the 2012 season with a 11-5 record. Pagano would also be able to return as head coach, as his cancer had gone into remission.

— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) January 12, 2019
Whether you are the one with cancer or it's a loved one, life can feel like it comes to a standstill when you get that initial diagnosis. All the plans you once had now seem meaningless as you focus on battling the cancer. Then one day, your doctor informs you that you're in remission, and suddenly you have to start planning for the future again.
For Pagano, that meant returning to the field and the job he loved. He proudly served as the head coach for the Indianapolis Colts from 2012-17. Tragically, he was fired in 2017 due to a failing season, according to SB Nation.
Pagano would take a year off to act as a consultant for the NFL in 2018. In 2019, he gladly accepted the defensive coordinator position for the Chicago Bears, where he was gladly welcomed. But Pagano will always have a soft spot for the Colts, who helped him through such a trying time in his life.
When asked about his battle with cancer, Pagano told the Chicago Sun-Times, "We don't take any days for granted. Every day that we get, we try to kick its ass, take full advantage of it. If you get another one, we're going to do the same thing the next day. 'Live full, die empty' is the motto now." It's the 'Chuckstrong' motto.

Q: Tensorflow image reading & display I've got a bunch of images in a format similar to Cifar10 (binary file, size = 96*96*3 bytes per image), one image after another (STL-10 dataset). The file I'm opening has 138MB.
I tried to read & check the contents of the Tensors containing the images to be sure that the reading is done right, however I have two questions -

*

*Does the FixedLengthRecordReader load the whole file, however just provide inputs one at a time? Since reading the first size bytes should be relatively fast. However, the code takes about two minutes to run.

*How to get the actual image contents in a displayable format, or display them internally to validate that the images are read well? I did sess.run(uint8image), however the result is empty.

The code is below:
import tensorflow as tf
def read_stl10(filename_queue):
  class STL10Record(object):
    pass
  result = STL10Record()

  result.height = 96
  result.width = 96
  result.depth = 3
  image_bytes = result.height * result.width * result.depth
  record_bytes = image_bytes

  reader = tf.FixedLengthRecordReader(record_bytes=record_bytes)
  result.key, value = reader.read(filename_queue)
  print value
  record_bytes = tf.decode_raw(value, tf.uint8)

  depth_major = tf.reshape(tf.slice(record_bytes, [0], [image_bytes]),
                       [result.depth, result.height, result.width])
  result.uint8image = tf.transpose(depth_major, [1, 2, 0])
  return result
# probably a hack since I should've provided a string tensor

filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(['./data/train_X'])
image = read_stl10(filename_queue)

print image.uint8image
with tf.Session() as sess:
  result = sess.run(image.uint8image)
  print result, type(result)

Output:
Tensor("ReaderRead:1", shape=TensorShape([]), dtype=string)
Tensor("transpose:0", shape=TensorShape([Dimension(96), Dimension(96), Dimension(3)]), dtype=uint8)
I tensorflow/core/common_runtime/local_device.cc:25] Local device intra op parallelism threads: 4
I tensorflow/core/common_runtime/local_session.cc:45] Local session inter op parallelism threads: 4
[empty line for last print]
Process finished with exit code 137

I'm running this on my CPU, if that adds anything.
EDIT: I found the pure TensorFlow solution thanks to Rosa. Apparently, when using the string_input_producer, in order to see the results, you need to initialize the queue runners.
The only required thing to add to the code above is the second line from below:
...
with tf.Session() as sess:
    tf.train.start_queue_runners(sess=sess)
...

Afterwards, the image in the result can be displayed with matplotlib.pyplot.imshow(result). I hope this helps someone. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me or check the link in Rosa's answer.

A: Just to give a complete answer:
filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(['/Users/HANEL/Desktop/tf.png']) #  list of files to read

reader = tf.WholeFileReader()
key, value = reader.read(filename_queue)

my_img = tf.image.decode_png(value) # use png or jpg decoder based on your files.

init_op = tf.global_variables_initializer()
with tf.Session() as sess:
  sess.run(init_op)

  # Start populating the filename queue.

  coord = tf.train.Coordinator()
  threads = tf.train.start_queue_runners(coord=coord)

  for i in range(1): #length of your filename list
    image = my_img.eval() #here is your image Tensor :)

  print(image.shape)
  Image.fromarray(np.asarray(image)).show()

  coord.request_stop()
  coord.join(threads)

Or if you have a directory of images you can add them all via this Github source file
@mttk and @salvador-dali: I hope it is what you need

A: Load names with tf.train.match_filenames_once get the number of files to iterate over with tf.size
open session and enjoy ;-)
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import matplotlib;
from PIL import Image

matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

filenames = tf.train.match_filenames_once('./images/*.jpg')
count_num_files = tf.size(filenames)
filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(filenames)

reader=tf.WholeFileReader()
key,value=reader.read(filename_queue)
img = tf.image.decode_jpeg(value)

init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
with tf.Session() as sess:
    sess.run(init)
    coord = tf.train.Coordinator()
    threads = tf.train.start_queue_runners(coord=coord)
    num_files = sess.run(count_num_files)
    for i in range(num_files):
        image=img.eval()
        print(image.shape)
        Image.fromarray(np.asarray(image)).save('te.jpeg')

A: (Can't comment, not enough reputation, but here is a modified version that worked for me)
To @HamedMP error about the No default session is registered you can use InteractiveSession to get rid of this error:
https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.8/api_docs/python/client.html#InteractiveSession
And to @NumesSanguis issue with Image.show, you can use the regular PIL .show() method because fromarray returns an image object.
I do both below (note I'm using JPEG instead of PNG):
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(['my_img.jpg']) #  list of files to read

reader = tf.WholeFileReader()
key, value = reader.read(filename_queue)

my_img = tf.image.decode_jpeg(value) # use png or jpg decoder based on your files.

init_op = tf.initialize_all_variables()
sess = tf.InteractiveSession()
with sess.as_default():
    sess.run(init_op)

# Start populating the filename queue.

coord = tf.train.Coordinator()
threads = tf.train.start_queue_runners(coord=coord)

for i in range(1): #length of your filename list
  image = my_img.eval() #here is your image Tensor :)

Image.fromarray(np.asarray(image)).show()

coord.request_stop()
coord.join(threads)

A: You can use tf.keras API.
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import load_img, array_to_img

tf.enable_eager_execution()

img = load_img("example.png")
img = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.asarray(img))
image = tf.image.resize_images(img, (800, 800))
to_img = array_to_img(image)
to_img.show()

A: First of all scipy.misc.imread and PIL are no longer available. Instead use imageio library but you need to install Pillow for that as a dependancy
pip install Pillow imageio

Then use the following code to load the image and get the details about it.
import imageio
import tensorflow as tf

path = 'your_path_to_image' # '~/Downloads/image.png'

img = imageio.imread(path)
print(img.shape)

or
img_tf = tf.Variable(img)
print(img_tf.get_shape().as_list())

both work fine.

A: According to the documentation you can decode JPEG/PNG images.
It should be something like this:
import tensorflow as tf

filenames = ['/image_dir/img.jpg']
filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(filenames)

reader = tf.WholeFileReader()
key, value = reader.read(filename_queue)

images = tf.image.decode_jpeg(value, channels=3)

You can find a bit more info here

A: After speaking with you in the comments, I believe that you can just do this using numpy/scipy. The ideas is to read the image in the numpy 3d-array and feed it into the variable.
from scipy import misc
import tensorflow as tf

img = misc.imread('01.png')
print img.shape    # (32, 32, 3)

img_tf = tf.Variable(img)
print img_tf.get_shape().as_list()  # [32, 32, 3]

Then you can run your graph:
init = tf.initialize_all_variables()
sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(init)
im = sess.run(img_tf)

and verify that it is the same:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.add_subplot(1,2,1)
plt.imshow(im)
fig.add_subplot(1,2,2)
plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()

P.S. you mentioned: Since it's supposed to parallelize reading, it seems useful to know.. To which I can say that rarely in data-analysis reading of the data is the bottleneck. Most of your time you will spend training your model.

A: I used CIFAR10 format instead of STL10 and code came out like
filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(filenames)
read_input = read_cifar10(filename_queue)
with tf.Session() as sess:
    tf.train.start_queue_runners(sess=sess)
    result = sess.run(read_input.uint8image)
img = Image.fromarray(result, "RGB")
img.save('my.jpg')

The snippet is identical with mttk and Rosa Gronchi, but Somehow I wasn't able to show the image during run-time, so I saved as the JPG file.

BLACK TY (AKA TYRESE) - Alter Ego | Review By: Eddie Gurolla
Release Date : December 12 2006
Label : J-Records
Dub Quotable: With a solid but sometimes lagging R&B disc, and a promising first attempt from Black Ty, �Alter Ego� delivers if you�re an open-minded fan of R&B and hip-hop.
Tyrese Gibson has many talents. He�s an R&B singer, actor, model, television host, and rapper. �Wait - a rapper?� That�s what plenty of fans exclaimed when Tyrese announced his plans for a new double album after leaving the music scene for 4 years.
The idea was novel - Tyrese would remain R&B rooted on one disc, while on the other he would embody his latest persona, rapper Black Ty. Now that the aptly titled �Alter Ego� is in stores, listeners get a chance to hear what the menacing Black Ty has to say, while being treated to some new material from the familiar R&B nice guy Tyrese.
For fans concerned about the shift from R&B to hardcore rap, Tyrese starts the album in safer territory; with the slow jam �One.� On the pleasant ballad, Mr. Gibson makes a pledge to �be good with just one girl.� This coo is sure to please the ladies. However, if one is expecting the album�s pace to heighten from there, they will be disappointed. The R&B element of �Alter Ego� is slow and bedroom-oriented. Curiously absent are the up-tempo party jams that made Tyrese�s other albums so enjoyable, such as �Nobody Else,� and �Just A Baby Boy.� Nonetheless there is plenty of quality music offered here. Lil Jon�s �Turn Ya Out� delivers a delicate instrumental concealing a hefty baseline and funky guitar licks. The result is a soft R&B track worthy of car rotation. Later, the emotional piano chords of super producer Bryan-Michael Cox compliment Tyrese�s smoky vocals on �Gotta Get You.� While this disc suffers from repetitiveness on filler like �Better Than Sex,� rhythm and blues fans will be satisfied.
Switching over to Black Ty�s rap disc will shock some. Gone are the sensitive lyrics and melodic tones, replaced by rambunctious party anthems. The disc kicks off with the war-cry of �I Salute.� This is the first time we hear Black Ty rap, and the song is a worthy display of his talent. The artist dominates with his aggressive, nonchalant flow, spouting off witty lines such as �rap niggas was singing, I figured I�d give it a try.� Simply put, Black Ty is all about brags like these � a perfect foil for the clean cut R&B icon we have known for so long. This flamboyant persona shines on tracks like �Get It In,� a club-destined jam starring production by Scott Storch and a great verse from Method Man. On the track, Ty drops the female baiting line �If you ugly, I ain�t fuckin� with you.� Pimpin� prevails on �Get Low,� featuring the daunting line up of Too $hort, Snoop Dogg, and Kurupt. Ty manages to hold his own against these veterans, and everyone delivers sharp verses. On the relatively mellow �Ghetto Dayz,� Black Ty and �Young Gotti� trade recollections about their childhoods over a typical West Coast instrumental. With The Game jumping in for an appearance and Jelly Roll on the boards, this track will surely please West Coast heads.
However, Ty doesn�t stick to the West blueprint throughout the album. When he does tamper the results sound somewhat uninspired. �U Scared,� featuring David Banner and Lil Scrappy, exemplifies this. The song is enjoyable, but it sounds like every other crunk single from the last 3 to 4 years. The same could be said of the redundant Mannie Fresh collaboration, �What It Is.�
With a solid but sometimes lagging R&B disc, and a promising first attempt from Black Ty, �Alter Ego� delivers if you�re an open-minded fan of R&B and hip-hop. If you�re not a fan of both genres, you�re definitely going to be missing out on the full experience of this unique double album. The project is ultimately good enough to warrant your purchase, even if the discs aren�t sold separately.
To Receive Our


During March 16th, 17th and 18th, Valeria Luna, Martin Siniawski, Agustín Izzo and I, attended the 13th Edition of the World Business Dialogue, an international business conference organized by students of the University of Cologne from Germany (Cologne, Germany).
The World Business Dialogue gathers 50 prominent leaders of different contexts together with 300 students from the entire world, selected through a contest of projects that have to be sent and presented (selected by the quality and creativity of their applications. In the past editions, leaders like Bill Gates and Michael Blomberg have delivered speeches.
The forum aims to boost international cooperation among the students, by means of debates, ideas and inappreciable lessons taught and learnt along the event days. Several characteristics and the spirit of this forum are common to those of the South American Business Forum (SABF), despite the European conference has a larger scale.
For the last edition, more than 1400 students sent their projects and, fortunately, nine Argentinean students were chosen; among them, six of those are students from ITBA (three are current SABF organizers, 2 were organizers in the past editions and 1 ex participant).
We felt honorable for having attended OFW and being able of representing our country and university at an amazing level context, along with people from all over the world where we had the opportunity of learning from other cultures and leaders, like, for example, Muhammad Yunus (Nobel Peace Prize, 2006), the CEO of Vodafone Germany and the Vice-President of the European Parliament, among others.
Aside from the experience of hearing, and, in other cases, speaking with this personalities, we had the opportunity of getting to know students from all the world, along with their different cultures, ideas, which in some cases, presented vast differences with ours, but we did have something, very important in common, which is the necessity of generating a positive change in each of the world's different regions.
From SABF, we pretend to develop this relationship among the students as we believe it's a way through which to improve our reality, by means of long term group work. Without any doubt, having attended the 13th Edition of the World Business Dialogue provided us with the sense of having contributed in favor of a better world. We strongly encourage all university students to take part of the future edition, for the year 2011.
Do you still not know what to write?

Q: How to add or remove a specific element from a numpy 2d array? Given the following numpy array:
arr = np.array([
    [1,2,3],
    [4,5,6],
    [7,8,9]
])

delete and return:
arr = np.array([
    [1,2,3],
    [4,6],
    [7,8,9]
])

I want to delete 5 from this array. or delete arr[1][2] only. When I am using  del arr[i][j] it throws the following err.  ValueError: cannot delete array elements and numpy documentation is not clear on this case for me.
Similarly how to add an element to some rows in the same array?
To be specific, When I am reading an image with opencv I am getting this err.
rgb_image = cv2.imread("image.png")
del operation gives me the top error and I couldnt make it with np.delete(...)

A: A numpy array (ndarray) is quote:

An ndarray is a (usually fixed-size) multidimensional container of items of the same type and size.

So you cannot have rows of different lengths if you want to use the ndarray data structure (with all of its optimizations).
A possible workaround is to have an array of lists
>>> arr=np.array([
    [1,2,3],
    [4,5,6],
    [7,8,9],
    []
])

(note the empty row to escape the ndarray datatype)
so you can delete an element from one of the lists
>>> arr
array([list([1, 2, 3]), list([4, 5, 6]), list([7, 8, 9]), list([])],
      dtype=object)
>>> arr[1]=np.delete(arr[1], [1], axis=0)
>>> arr
array([list([1, 2, 3]), array([4, 6]), list([7, 8, 9]), list([])],
      dtype=object)

A: I think the one way would be to cast np.array to list and repeat cast to np.array, like this:
arr = arr.tolist()
arr[1].pop(1)
arr = np.array(arr)

Edit:
It seems to be right, numpy way:
np.delete(arr, [4, 4])
np.split(arr, [3, 5, 9])

Edit2:
Doesn't seems to be less time consuming, but you could check this way:
arr =  np.empty(3, dtype=np.object)
arr[:] = [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]
arr[1].remove(5)

A: First convert the Array into a list using
new_list = list(old_array) function.(This will create a list of arrays)
Now,you can perfome all the operations of list like pop,filter, etc to remove whatever elements you want.
Finally when you have your filtered list, convert it back to array using
new_array = np.array(new_list) .(This new array will retain the dimensions of old array)

In conversation with with Mireille Guiliano
by Frederique on 24th November 2013
Mireille Guiliano: On Why French Women Do It Better
Dubbed "the high priestess of French lady wisdom" by USA Today, the New York-based -but quintessentially French- Mireille Guiliano (67) gave up a successful career at luxury group LVMH in 2004 to publish French Women Don't Get Fat, an immediate bestseller which reached No 1 in the New York times List and was translated in 39 countries. More has success followed since with other books extolling the virtues of French women's lifestyle. Her latest, French Women Don't Get Facelifts: The Secret of Aging with Style & Attitude, offers non-nonsense advice on how to look after oneself while enjoying life's pleasures. Chic-Londres met with the delightful Mireille on her latest visit to London this January, to talk diet (or lack of), style and why she won't have Botox.
What made you give up a successful career at Veuve Clicquot to write books? It all happened by chance, really. I often gave fashion and nutrition advice to my friends and one husband whose wife I helped suggested I should write a book. He put me in touch with an agent, who loved the idea and found a publisher straight away. For a few months, I combined writing with managing Veuve Clicquot in the states but quickly realised I couldn't do both, so decided to switch career and concentrate on writing.
What aspects of writing do you enjoy most? I love the process in itself -putting thoughts into paper- as well as the promotional trips that follow, because it gives me a chance to meet my readers and get their reactions first hand. I realise that what I write is nothing revolutionary and may not be of much use to a sophisticated Londoner, Parisian or New Yorker woman. However, it seems to really help some women who might not have otherwise access to this type of advice, and I'm happy when they tell me how much joy it brings them.
Are your books successful in France? Well, I never thought that French women would be much interested in reading some nutritional advice dispensed by another French living in New York so my first book was clearly targeted towards the American and British markets. However, to my surprise, it was also a best seller in France: I believe it has a certain nostalgic appeal to French women who for example remember how they learnt how to dress or cook from their mother or grandmother and therefore can identify with what I write.
You quote Diana Vreeland, the legendary editor of Harpers Bazaar, who once said that "to have style, you have to be born in Paris": do you think this still applies at a time when fashion has gone global? The French exception might not be what it once was, but Paris remains the ultimate point of reference when it comes to elegance. Heels were invented at the French court of Louis XIV, and while that might just be an anecdote, the fact is that historical heritage still plays a huge part in our cultural making. French mothers also play a big role in transmitting a certain style to their daughters, which is not necessarily true in English speaking countries. Also French women like dressing up not just to seduce but also because it makes them feel good about themselves. You'll be hard pressed to find a Parisian, even a very wealthy one, who owns 300 pairs of shoes, as you do in New York. As a rule, French women favour the quality of cuts and materials over the quantity of garments they own, and therefore are rarely slaves to trends.
In which way does the French approach to food differ from the British or American ones? The latter do eat a lot of ready meals, which are extremely detrimental to their health. In France, while culinary traditions might be slowly disappearing too, food is still very much something to enjoy, which means that many people still take the time to cook and savour what's on their plate. An American takes between eight and 12 minutes on average to eat his meal, while a French will take a minimum of 30. We definitely consider food as a pleasure, and as a rule don't deprive ourselves but don't make too many excesses either: on the whole, it's a more healthy and enjoyable approach.
And as for their respective relation to ageing? Once again, I'd lie if i said that France is immune to procedures such as Botox or fillers, but they're not as prominent as in the States, Brazil or China. Personally, I see them as a kind of drugs because once you start, it's difficult to stop. Also, I'm very wary of the long term consequences of such injections and in doubt, don't think they're worth the risk. At last, France doesn't idolise youth as much as in other countries. A mature woman is considered as very seductive, because she has an experience and confidence that only comes with age.
What are your main advice to live well and age well? Prevention is key, so look after yourselves from as early as possible. Choose a physical activity that you really enjoy, be it cycling, yoga, swimming: but no point going to the gym if you hate it. Simple things like walking 20 minutes per day or walking up the stairs rather than taking the lift make a huge difference long term. Learn some cooking basics, so you're in charge of what you put inside your body and I can't give enough praise to oysters, by far the best food any woman can have. Do take some time to relax, especially if you work hard- have a massage, a manicure or take a long bath-as it's important to look after yourselves. Create your own trademark -through a particular scent, a certain type of glasses, or by wearing hats regularly for example: whatever it is, it's important to single yourself and have your own style: it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, that's how you learn. And don't forget that you don't need expensive clothes to look stylish, because what really matters is not what you wear but how you wear it: it's all in the attitude!

Mireille's "French Women Don't Get Fat" is a wonderfully encouraging, life-changing book. I enjoyed reading this article, too. Thank-you!

Thanks very much for your comment Sonya. I was lucky to meet Mireille and she's also a very lovely woman.

TO TURN PRO OR NOT? Vieira mulling whether James Sands, 16, will sign with NYC FC
Feb 24, 2017 | New York City FC |
NYC FC head coach Patrick Vieira and sporting director Claudio Reyna are trying to figure out what is best for James Sands. (Andy Mead/YCJ Photo)
It is only a matter of time before James Sands turns pro.
Whether the talented 16-year-old defender-midfielder does it this year or next seems to be the big question.
The Rye, N.Y. resident has been training with City during the preseason and he has impressed head coach Patrick Vieira and his staff in practice and in games as well.
"We talk about it every single day with Claudio and the rest of the staff," Vieira said, referring to sporting director Claudio Reyna. "We are really pleased to have a young, talented player in our football club – we really need to think carefully about how we can help him to develop – what is the best next step for him."
Sands, a NYC FC Academy product, is in residency with the U.S. Under-17 team at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla.
With the Under-17 World Cup on the horizon, it might be better for Sands to focus on that and not to become a professional
"We know he will be very busy next year with the U-17 World Cup, he will be spending a lot of time with the national team," Vieira said during a Thursday afternoon conference call. "We have to look at how much time he will spend with us and how much time he will spend there and then we are going to try to make the right decision on how he is going to develop himself."
It also could come down to Sands pacing himself because he has much on his soccer plate these days.
"He's been playing a lot of football and what we really wanted is to give him this experience of training with the first team," Vieira said.
"Maybe in the summer he will need to have a break because from Monday he'll go to the national team. It will be a lot of football for him and he will get to a time when we need to look after the boy as well. We're going to have a good plan for him."
PreviousCOMING ABOARD? Report: Marchionni to join the Cosmos
NextA STEP UP: Vieira says this year's NYC FC side is stronger, more versatile than last year
OFFSIDE REMARKS: New York City FC can make a huge statement this week
HE'S AMONG THE BEST: NYCFC's Moralez named to MLS Best XI
NYCFC INJURY REPORT: Sands, Johnson still on international duty, Heber, Magno are still out
HE'S READY: Coronel expected to be in the net vs. NYCFC


The morning ritual: Some pray. Some meditate. Some do yoga. Some exercise.
My dad cleaned the kitchen.
Often, he'd awaken me. Running water. Pots banging. Glasses clinking. The sound of a whisk broom against tile. Cabinets opening and closing. The sun always rose with a clang — a whole cacophony at sunrise.
My dad never whistled, even though he had devoted his life to music. Perhaps he thought whistling an insult to music itself. There was no music from his lips, despite his soul being overwhelmed by it. But even though he tried not to enter the kitchen for any other reason at any other time, every morning he was in there and cleaning it.
There's some parallel between the two I don't pretend to fully understand.
Maybe it was this: Although he knew he was a horrible cook (He really was: Opening a can of beans confused him) he had decided his contribution to our culinary life at home would be to clean up–at least in the mornings. When it came to music, he knew he was called to do greater things than to just hum or whistle. He left the humming and whistling to the people who usually worked in kitchens.
It was a flip-flop by which he acknowledged an order within his universe. In the world of music, he ruled. In the world of cooking, dad pushed the broom and wiped down the counters. There was a debt to be paid in each case. And he tried to pay it.
The morning ritual is when one takes stock of this sort of thing. What can you do? What do you want? Where are you strong? Where should you be stronger? Where are you weak? What do you still owe? How many mornings are left to pay it?
The morning ritual itself is a submission to something greater than ourselves. It's an acknowledgement that time is something greater and outside of us. The sun will rise each day. We only witness unto it. After we've gone the sun will still be there. We weren't making it rise. We were only granted some finite number of chances to honor the event–to celebrate with the universe its unfolding. In the light of the morning we offer up what we are. We lay it out and look at it in the light. And we realize what we really have to work with, and how much of it is left.
One morning, there were no sounds of cleaning from the kitchen. And there never were again. At least not from my dad.
Now, I clean the kitchen. I don't hum or whistle. And in some ways, I try not to think.
For more on ritual and cooking and family and all sorts of other good things, check out my novel at Eye of the Diamond-T.

Drone-Detection Software Company Inks Investment, Notes Milestones
Posted by Betsy Lillian on February 13, 2017 No Comments
Categories : Business Operations, UAV Safety
Dedrone, a developer of software to detect unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) near critical infrastructure, has secured another investment, which the company will use to increase marketing and sales efforts, as well as global research and development (R&D).
Led by Joerg Lamprecht, CEO and co-founder, the company was established in 2014. It is headquartered in San Francisco and has a production and R&D facility in Kassel, Germany.
The $15 million Series B funding round was led by Felicis Ventures and John Chambers, executive chairman of Cisco, who has personally invested in the company.
In addition, all of Dedrone's Series A investors are participating and providing funding for the Series B round.
Dedrone says it offers security solutions addressing airspace vulnerabilities exploited by the advances in consumer and commercial drone technology. Dedrone's software platform detects aerial intrusions and provides an early warning of malicious drone activities. It is used to protect data centers, prisons, airports and other critical facilities from corporate espionage, smuggling, terrorism and hacking, the company explains.
"Drones have given people the ability to go places where they have never been before – and at times, circumnavigate traditional physical and cyber security installations," says Cisco's Chambers. "Dedrone's unique approach to use existing sensors and a powerful machine-learning platform empowers enterprise and federal customers to regain control of their airspace."
In addition to closing its Series B funding, Dedrone has achieved several milestones since its Series A funding:
Added strategic, international resellers, including Airbus, Singtel and Deutsche Telekom;
Secured over 200 installations in 2016, including the 2016 U.S. presidential debates, the Suffolk County prison in New York, the Royal Family of Qatar, and the World Economic Forum in Davos;
Engaged five unicorn investors, Dominic Orr, CEO of Aruba Networks; Selina Lo, CEO of Ruckus Wireless; Hans Robertson, co-founder and chief operating officer of Meraki; Tom Noonan, former chairman, president and CEO of Internet Security Systems Inc.; and Trevor Healy, former CEO of Jajah and Amobee.
"Together with our partners, we're making massive strides in providing businesses and individuals a complete detection and counter-drone solution for high-risk areas," says Lamprecht.
Last month, the company secured a seven-figure investment from Silicon Valley investors. In May of last year, venture capital firm Menlo Ventures from Menlo Park, Calif., invested $10 million in the company.

Siddharta, a book for young souls
Siddhartha, one of Hermann Hesse's most famous literary works, is in many respects a prophetic work and it was conceived by the author as such. Like all prophetic books, it is simple and difficult at the same time, as if written by someone who sees and experiences the world for the first time and reveals these experiences to his readers for the first time. In fact Siddhartha learns to look at the world and himself with fresh eyes several times throughout the novel and this is certainly one of the key motives of this story.
You can buy the book here.
Siddhartha was published in 1922, when Hesse was in this mid-forties and had already undergone several personal crises in his life. A sensitive man, Hesse felt, like many others writers and artists at the turn of the century, a sense of sickness with the life of the modern man and tried to find answers and certainties in ancient Oriental philosophy.
The "Orientalism" of Hermann Hesse
His grandparents had been in India, serving at a Protestant mission, and his mother had actually been born in India. But Hesse's own interest with Buddhism and Oriental philosophy in general most likely originated with Arthur Schopenhauer, arguably the most popular philosopher at the time. Schopenhauer was the first great European thinker to introduce Buddhism to a large Western public, and integrated the theory of the liberation from suffering in his own philosophy.
Hesse sought redemption in a long trip to Asia in 1911, but the experience turned out to be disappointing. Yet his interest in Buddhism and Asia in general persisted and was going to accompany him for the rest of his life.
One does not need, however, a deep knowledge of Buddhism or Asia to read Siddhartha. The novel became arguably so popular because it could be read, easily understood and well received by a heterogeneous public. Like most people, at least in their youth, Siddhartha is someone who is trying to understand the true nature of himself – and of the world too. However, whether one should actively search for this truth or not is a complex question and the story of Siddhartha deals with this too.
Siddhartha and Buddha
Siddhartha is a book inspired by the story of Buddha, the founder of Buddhism who lived roughly 5 centuries before Christ, but the Siddhartha of Hermann Hesse is not the historical Buddha, Gautama Buddha. Siddhartha, however, was Buddha's birth name and which he later renounced. The historical Buddha is rather Gotama in Hesse's book, a very important teacher, but just one of the many teachers that Siddhartha encounters in his journey towards knowledge. The theme of teaching and to what extend knowledge can be transmitted through words and lessons is of the most important ones in Siddhartha.
Siddhartha can be classified as the classical book for young souls, absorbed by their restless explorations of the self and wary of any form of teaching and conventional wisdom. Yet as Siddhartha shows, the thirst for knowledge does not need to end with young age: and a young soul can beam from the eyes of a man with grey hair who has learned to look at the world and accept everything with a smile.

In "11:59," Laurel Lance's death sent shock waves through Team "Arrow." That death will continue to impact the team's decisions through the next episode, "Canary Cry" -- and Felicity, in particular. Executive producers Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle revealed that Felicity will either rejoin Team Arrow or get back together with Oliver because of Laurel's death.
"She's broken up with Oliver and she's also broken up with the team essentially. And in Episode 19 ['Canary Cry'], we'll see the undoing of one of those decisions," Guggenheim told TVLine.
"She could come back to the team and that does not mean that she's back together with Oliver," added Mericle.
"We started off this season with Felicity really wanting to come back and do this because she herself enjoys this kind of vigilante lifestyle, but that is separate from Oliver," she continued. "In [season 4's premiere], he didn't want to; it was more about her making herself happy than anything else. So she'll be grappling in some ways with that."
"We never had to kill Laurel to make Oliver and Felicity a couple. That is really independent from the romantic history that Oliver and Laurel had, and a completely different set of dynamics," Guggenheim explained.
Starring Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards and David Ramsey, "Arrow" returns Wednesday, April 27 at 8 pm EST on The CW.


DAILY MAINTENANCE Your website is monitored daily updating plugins, themes, WordPress updates and deleting your spam comments. Some companies charge £100 a month for this service.
SECURITY Installed on every website is the Lock Out Plugin which protects against global WordPress attacks and iThemes Security.
TOP CLASS HOSTING Pam is a Reseller with a top UK company, so pays for their business service. You get unlimited bandwidth. Their support is 24/7 if she encounters any problems with the sites that she manages. This would cost you £10.79 inc VAT if you bought Home Pro for yourself.
DOMAIN NAME renewed automatically by Pam annually. Ignore letters from America trying to charge you a high fee- they are trying to trick you!
After you have your domain name, you need to set up your web hosting. The hosting service for your site is provided by companies referred to as web hosts. Web hosts provide you with a web server, disk space, and bandwidth, as well other services, including support. They charge a monthly fee for this service.
Disk space at a web host is not unlike the hard drive in your computer. It is, in essence, the amount of space you are allowed to use when storing files for your website. Normally, the amount of space provided is, at a minimum, about 5GB. This is more than sufficient for most websites, but if you plan on hosting video and pictures, you will eventually need more space.
Also, be aware of limitations in bandwidth. Bandwidth is the amount of data transferred between your site and your visitors; it is normally tracked over a monthly period. Web hosts generally offer large amounts of bandwidth with the even lower-end packages, but if you are hosting your own video and audio files and perhaps photos, your bandwidth can dwindle quickly and become a big problem. Hosting with Pam offers you unlimited band width.
There are special requirements for operating WordPress.org based websites. You need to make sure that your web host provides what you need. The requirements for hosting WordPress are PHP 7 and My SQL (version 4.1.2 or higher) as a minimum. Most web hosting companies do support these technologies "out of the box" without your even having to ask for them. Some hosting companies give you an option of which operating system you would like your site to run on (Linux or Windows).
If this means nothing to you let Pam handle it for you!
Keep up with software updates.
Keep up with WordPress updates that are compatible with your chosen theme.
Be aware that some plugins can wreck your website.
Know what to do if you were hacked. This could cost you £200 to get it fixed. WordPress sites are vulnerable. According to Wordfence, a top security plugin, it's not a question of if your site gets hacked, but when.
Backing up your website is crucial as if your site crashes you could lose all the content. Computers are not perfect and sooner or later a problem can occur. WordPress sites are vulnerable to hackers. Before you take on hosting your site yourself, would you know what to do if your site was hacked into or crashed?
Although plug-ins that can assist in everyday maintenance are available, having your own installation means you need to take an active role in maintaining your site. Is this task overwhelming? Normally not, but it does increase the amount of effort you put into managing your site.
Part of setting up hosting for your site is setting up your domain name. Your domain name is your calling card. It is what people will remember, bookmark, or tell others when referring to your site. Therefore, it is important that you choose a name that is unique to you and your site.
Several sites can assist you in registering your domain, and several hosting companies not only register your domain, but also walk you through the entire process up to and including setting up your actual web space.

There is neither a minimum nor a maximum permitted age for these tours. However, Russia is not subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We will be going to a rural part of Russia, and it is very important that each person be able to get around under his/her own power. We will be doing a lot of walking. The ground will be uneven and walkers (with or without wheels) and motorized chairs and scooters are not advised.
There is no elevator in the hotel in Zhirnovsk (Tour D only) where all rooms are above ground level. The tour bus will not have a lift. Because assistance at the hotels cannot be guaranteed, each person will be responsible for porting their own luggage at all stops. In most cases, if you are tired, you will be able to remain on the bus during a stop.
Once the tour has started, Volga German Tours reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine whether or not a tour participant is physically capable of participating in any given activity during the tour. Should a participant be excluded from a particular activity due for physical reasons, the participant will not be compensated for such exclusion.


About 99% finished now, just gotta sort out some decent crews, probably Presier US tank crews off Ebay. Also waiting to finalise a few markings as I really need some custom bumper codes to properly represent the teams units, TF-1-78 mech and attached 1-4 armd. As mentioned before the LAV doesn't really fit in but it's grown on me somewhat, so much so that I might make up a ficticous Marine group of Lav25s and ITs to replace the Battalions forward Cavalry screening force.
Base painting on the moderns, my approximations of Merdec Winter Verdant and standard Nato 3 colour camoflage. I didn't have good/clear 3 views of all the vehicles, so I had to make a few guesstimations based on as many photos (inc model pics) as I could find. I'm always wary using models as references as you never know how much compromise has already been used, so the bits I couldn't find references for are "averages" of what pictures I could get.

Zheyme 5:14 AM cocoon boutique hotel
I was invited for a Grand Launch of Cocoon Boutique Hotel, it was located in Q.C., it has been rated no. 1 in the Q.C. and no. 4 in Manila when talking about the services that they provided.
It was a dream of Mr. Rafael and Gigi Vinson to put up a hotel. The construction in 760sq. meters lot that Vinson's invested with their life saving and taking two loans to make their dream a reality. Unlike any other hotel, Cocoon offers additional services like spa, aesthetic clinic and food out lust. Because they are committed to help saved the environment, they choose to be green, they used rain and ground water harvesting for toilet flushing, plant irrigation and general house cleaning.
Although, I haven't tried to stay and had a tour in there, I feel very comfortable in the place maybe because of its classic yet stylish modern look and the environment friendly ambiance. This luxurious place with a world class services is a truly a must visit by the Filipinos and one day I know that I will have my stay in there and will definitely share it to you here.
