Past Pupil, Ephraim Gordon, produces film nominated for Oscar award
The film Barakat, produced by Ephraim Gordon (Head Boy of Bridge House in 2005), has received numerous awards, including receiving 13 nominations and walking away with the following awards at the Idyllwild Film Festival in LA: Best International Feature Film; Best Ensemble Cast; Best Supporting Actor for Mortimer Williams; Mary Austin Award for Excellence in Directing and Best Original Score. Most recently it has been selected as the South African entry for the Best International Feature Film at the Oscars. This is a massive accolade for Ephraim and his colleagues who worked on the film.
Ephraim Gordon joined Bridge House as a bursary student in Grade 8 and established himself as a leader from the beginning. He was elected Head Boy at Bridge House in 2005 and at the end of his Matric year, his peers described him as having made "a momentous impact on our lives." He was awarded the Bridge House Values award, one of the top awards at Bridge House, and the Fellowship Award, which is determined by a vote of all the College students. Ephraim went on to achieve a degree in Theatre and Performance from the University of Cape Town in 2009 and has won many awards and achieved major successes in the field of acting, producing and directing for stage, TV and film.
Ephraim said that at Bridge House, he had the opportunity of going on an international exchange and it was then that his idea of the world changed; his view expanded; he made friends from other parts of the world and realised for the very first time that the world was his oyster waiting for him to claim his place in it. He said that with the advantage of an excellent education, he was encouraged to do everything in his power to use all the tools at his disposal to change his world. As a young film director and producer, he tries do exactly that – tell stories that in some way contribute to changing the world. Ephraim has always followed his dreams and worked extremely hard. We are holding thumbs for an Oscar for Ephraim.

Alums and Students Who Rock
The Many Gigs of Bob Gilman
by Joshua Unikel '07
"When I was at Hobart, I played in bands from my first-year on," recalls Dr. Bob Gilman '70, current president of the Hobart Alumni Association. And he isn't kidding. In fact, this renowned plastic surgeon and drummer has been playing music ever since.
1966: "I played Stones and danceoriented music in a band with another Hobart student, David Vermillion '78, and two guys from Syracuse every weekend."
1967: "I was in the Sunny Geneva War Memorial Rock 'N Roll Band, playing Sixties blues with Peter Weinstock '70 on piano and vocals, Greg Tobias '68 on bass and Willard Bridgham '68 on lead guitar and vocals."
1968: "During my junior year I played drums in a Sixties-era band called Sal Semolina and the People that Owe Him Money with Danny Kohn '70 on rhythm guitar, John Suby '70 on vocals, David Norad '71 on bass, Alan Dalrymple '66 on lead guitar and Tom Lucas '70 on organ. We used to rehearse after dinner every night in the basement of Houghton House."
1969: "As a senior, I drummed with Peter and the Prophets, a space rock opera band made up of myself, John Falck '69 on vocals, Tom Lucas '70 on keyboard and vocals, Peter Hicks '71 on rhythm guitar and Peter Haviland '69 on lead guitar and vocals. The core of the band, myself not included, became T Rocket and the Barking Dogs, a New York State mainstay throughout the 1970s."
After leaving his many former band mates at Hobart, Gilman continued to play. For the past 10 years, he's been playing with a band called The Regressions made up of 20 people, most of whom are doctors or professional musicians. "We have a number of singers who allow us to play a broad range of Sixties and Seventies rock 'n roll, R & B and Motown," Gilman says. "Most of our performances are fundraisers; we've played reunions at Yale University and Columbia and have even played the Hammerstein Ballroom."
With so many bands and styles in his repertoire, what's this plastic surgeon-by-day/ drummer-by-night's favorite genre? Gilman answers, "Without a doubt, my favorite thing to play is rock 'n roll."
A Wake-up Call from Red Rush Morning
What do Hobart hockey and rock music have in common? Answer: Red Rush Morning. "We've been playing modern rock together for the past few years," says guitarist and Statesmen forward Blake Bonham '10. "We definitely have an acoustic vibe to us, but there's a definite rock edge as well."
In addition to Bonham, the band includes Keith Longo '09, Drew Wadsworth '10, Bryant Harris '09, Chris Strip '10, and Nick Petros '09. Four of the six are Hobart hockey players.
"When we came together as a band, three of the guys were upperclassmen," Bonham says. "It was kind of a domino effect: we started talking about music and instruments we played, and then one of us would say, 'Oh, you play this?' or 'Oh, you sing this?' and it all came together. If one of us has a good song, we bring it to the band."
With catchy hooks and pop vocals with a rock-rough edge, Red Rush Morning is giving HWS a wakeup call, showing everyone what student-athlete-musicians can do. "We play mainly on campus," Bonham explains. "We hope to get signed by the end of the school year. Maybe we'll even tour a little over the summer."
Acoustic Mayhem: Where Are They Now?
Steve Jemison '92
Vocals and Lead Guitar
Location: Edwards, Colo.
Occupation: Financial Adviser with Merrill Lynch
Music Projects: After Hobart, Jemison played in Switchback, a psychedelic acoustic jam band. When the band broke up, Jemison turned his attention to a future Acoustic Mayhem album.
Regular Venues Played: Grouse On The Green
Arch Kingsley '94
Vocals and Rhythm Guitar
Location: Camden, S.C.
Current Occupation: Blacksmith, Trains Racehorses, Musician and Retired National Champion Jockey
Music Projects: Kingsley has played charity events at venues throughout South Carolina.
Regular Venues Played: The Venue and The Brew and Cue
Jon Fishman '92
Location: Chicago, Ill.
Current Occupation: Spanish Textile Salesman
Music Projects: Fishman is still an active drummer, playing in a variety of bands, mainly in the genre of jazz fusion.
Regular Venues Played: The Horseshoe and the Underground Wonderland
Sill House Jam Sessions: "During my junior year and Arch's sophomore year, we had jam sessions in Sill House where Arch was living," explains Jemison. "Arch and I played guitars, and Jon was on the congas. The kids living in Sill House and everyone's friends started coming to the jams, just for casual entertainment. Eventually we started making set lists, getting better as a band and eventually playing out at shows on campus."
The Reunion Shows: In June 2002, Kingsley, Jemison and Fishman returned to Geneva for the Classes of 1992 10 year Reunion and to perform two concerts in their old favorite venue: Copperfields (formally Rumrunners). On both nights, Fonz (a popular Geneva bouncer) announced the band. "We arrived two days early to a house we'd rented as rehearsal space," explains Jemison. "We played for 15 hours a day until our fingers bled. Musically speaking, we picked up where we'd left off. "
Their Yearly Circuit: After reuniting in June 2002, the members of Acoustic Mayhem re-sparked the artistic flame lit ten years before. "Ever since, we've been getting together once a year to catch up and play some of our tunes," explains Jemison. "One year we'll meet in Colorado, the next year we'll meet in South Carolina, then Illinois." Currently, Acoustic Mayhem is talking about recording a full-length studio album based on some of the tracks they laid down in 1992 as well as a studio rehearsal session they did in recent years.

Looking into Kaleidoscope
As far as student bands go, it doesn't get much newer than the jam-band Kaleidoscope made up of Sarik Kumar '11, Mike Buccino '09, Mike Monteiro '10, Andrew Tarnas-Raskin '11, and Zach Potter '09. "We played together for the first time on September 13," says bassist Monteiro. "We played Delta Chi that night and got an overwhelming response, with people chanting 'one more song' throughout the entire set."
With a powerful mix of influences that includes Phish and Pink Floyd and a tight-knit way of losing themselves in their music as they jam through the hours at campus parties, Kaleidoscope is showing HWS their vision of how music should be. "Every time we play, it's different," explains Kumar. "That's one of the main reasons we all like to jam so much, every time is a new experience."

Q: Div and text in vw units dont resize together in Safari I have a Div with 50vw, and a text paragraph inside with font 2vw. Depending on the window size, the position of words are very different. In Chrome they both keep the same ratio, but in Safari the layout gets broken. I cannot control the browser of each user, but I need to preserve the layout.
I get different growth rates for different fonts. Some like Arial will almost stay in place, but custom ones (From google-fonts) suffer steps in growth (width or height jumps, but not both together) while resizing. I suppose the problem is within font properties.
Also, I have inspected the font to see the calculated pixels and identified that the font jumps when passing over any .5 px unit (as in, 15.5px, or 17.5px). I suspect of the Safari pixel rendering. Can this be overriden/controled?
I have tried subpixel-antialiased, font-smoothing, and also played some time with font-feature-setting, but this last one I don't really understand how it works.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Fugiat voluptates aperiam quae saepe veniam cum soluta impedit repellendus repudiandae sed necessitatibus nostrum placeat porro, magnam minus sequi eum dolores delectus!

and CSS - I have used one random font, mansalva
.container {
position: relative;
background: red;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
width: 50vw;
height: 50vw;
}

.text {
font-family: mansalva;
font-size: 2vw;
}

If you play with the browser width IN SAFARI, you will see that words jump between lines, i.e. not maintaining the ratio

A: Are you using windows or mac? Safari on windows is archaic and few enough people use it to not worry about it.

A: after a week looking for solutions, the most simple thing came across. Its not a very good solution, but is a solution.
If I set the paragraph width to a limited number of characters:
.container {
position: relative;
background: red;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
width: 50vw;
height: 50vw;
}

.text {
font-family: mansalva;
font-size: 2vw;
Width: 25ch;
}

It works, but always if the width of the lines are smaller than .container's width. Otherwise, the text overflows or wraps as before.
Its a bad solution because you need to test manually for each paragraph and div and font, and maybe for different phrases, as black spaces are not counted as ch units.
I will hold to select the answer as I hope someone can think of a better solution.

"At the age of 29 I made the bold decision to leave the Senior Leadership Team of an outstanding school in order to set up a business that I had no idea whether or not would succeed.
When I told my family and friends of my decision the look they gave me was one of amazement mixed with bewilderment, awe mixed with concern. It's a look I've become used to when I tell my story of giving up an excellent salary; leaving behind generous pensions and holidays; and jumping head-first into the unknowns of the business world.
In my mind I was neither brave nor insane, just passionate. I have a deep commitment to making youngsters more politically literate and engaged in this country.
Between us we had around 200 teacher contacts and initially we were able to capitalise on these to generate word of mouth publicity. We received some interest and bookings from this.
However, we soon realised that we were going to need to reach out to a wider pool of teachers if we were to take the business to the next level. That's when we started researching schools' generic email addresses and sending promotional material en masse.
It was very time consuming having to spend a lot of our day researching school email addresses. Also, we quickly realised that we weren't actually reaching teachers; our message was either bouncing back or getting stuck in the secretary's inbox or spam folder.
As a new company with not a huge amount of money to spend, we knew we were gambling a significant percentage of the money that we had put away as teachers on these three email campaigns. It was our own money so it was a bit scary, but we had faith that Sprint would make it work for us.
My experience of working with Sprint on our email strategy has been really straightforward. Everyone has been really friendly and if I ever had any questions or problems then somebody would always get back to me very quickly. I particularly liked the flow that Sprint seems to have; from my initial booking through to discussing the strategy with the design team, I always knew exactly who to go to with each enquiry.
I think the designs that Sprint created for our campaigns have been terrific and I particularly liked the House of Commons layout! But for me, what's been even more important than the copywriting and design has been the contacts that Sprint has within schools which have really enabled us to get our message through to the key decision makers we need to target. So, it's not only about great designs, but also about getting through to the teachers that those designs will appeal to.
We didn't really know what to expect because we didn't have any marketing experience. However, from the reports I've been sent and the responses we've received I can see that the campaign has created a lot of leads.
I'm really pleased. One of the most interesting things for me is that we've found many of the leads that are coming through are actually from schools that we were sending emails to in our own early days but were not hearing anything from. This, for me, shows how well it has worked.
We're really excited. Our immediate priority is to make sure we're translating these leads into bookings and then I would like us to use Sprint again at the earliest opportunity. The team have been the perfect combination of professional and friendly, and have made the experience of marketing an enjoyable and insightful one.
How a Lead Creation Plan generated £350k for a school buildings provider.
Founded in 2015, Political Education for Students promotes the use of politics and democracy in secondary schools through a range of workshops for students.
Over 1,800 secondary aged pupils were provided with specialist politics education within just one term.
Launch email strategy (to launch the business) direct to Head Teachers, PSHE, Citizenship, Politics & G&T Teachers at Secondary Schools, with HTML email designs, reporting and database of qualified leads. Plus Campus to manage long term strategy in-house.

Q: Is this an equivalent form of the Well-Ordering Principle? To preface this question, it it important to say that the exercise included below is taken from lecture notes of an introductory course in the foundations of (undergraduate) mathematics, and that before this exercise (which is added as an aside, really) there has been no rigorous definition of boundedness.
Leading up to the exercise, the text reads:

The proof [not relevant to this question] I give below uses the Well-Ordering Principle, in the form
Every subset of $\mathbb Z$ which is bounded above has a greatest element.

For reference purposes, the original 'form' in which the Well-Ordering Principle was given is as follows:

Any subset $T$ of the integers $\mathbb Z$ which is bounded below has a least element.

Exercise: Is this form of the Well-ordering principle something new, or does it follow from the old version?
I thought that we could say that
For, say $S \subset \mathbb Z$:
If $S$ is bounded above then there exists a greatest element in $S$ as being equivalent to the statement that if there is not a greatest element in $S$ then $S$ is not bounded above. In this reasoning I have attempted to form the contrapositive version of the original statement.
I am not sure if the statement that, for $S \subset \mathbb Z$,
$S$ is bounded above $\implies$ there exists in $S$ a greatest element
should actually be biconditional, i.e:
$S$ is bounded above $\iff$ there exists in $S$ a greatest element (perhaps this may be the case depending on the actual definition of boundedness).
At any rate, I struggle to see how this is equivalent to the original framing of the Well-Ordering Principle that: if $S \subset \mathbb Z$ is bounded below then there exists in $S$ a least element. That's to say, that my gut would have me respond to this exercise and argue that this form is new, but the fact that the author refers to both as being forms of the Well-Ordering Principle leads me to believe I am wrong. In any event I remain unsatisfied either way. Please also edit/add tags to help me place this question correctly.

A: Given a subset $T \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, define $-T := \{ -n \mid n \in T \}$.  Then what you need to check to establish that the original version of the Well Ordering Principle implies the alternate version is:

*

*If $T$ is bounded above, then $-T$ is bounded below.

*If $-T$ has least element $m$, then $T$ has greatest element $-m$.

Proving the other implication is very similar.


With all the blatantly ugly shenanigans going on politically in every arena, do you seniors have little to no appetite for politics in these months leading up to November? The indifferent exclamation of "who cares" about seems to say it. There is so much rough shod treatment of the American public. There is little respect shown to the voter. There is almost no regard for those who elect those who disregard so readily. Is it going to make any real difference when the election season finally ends that we paid attention? If so the difference may be that matters only get worse, elected "officials" only more insensitive. There are a few left. To name one, Bernie Sanders, who still tries to stand up for the self interest of the American public. There aren't many who demonstrate that statesmanship is still alive and well.

Landowner Incentive Program
Current Funding Options
LIP in Action
Landowner Incentive Program (LIP)
The Texas Landowner Incentive Program (LIP) is a collaborative effort between TPWD Wildlife and Inland Fisheries Divisions to meet the needs of private, non-federal landowners wishing to enact good conservation practices on their lands for the benefit of healthy terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. LIP is funded through partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and other partners.

How do I get involved with the Landowner Incentive Program?
The first step is to contact your local TPWD office and establish a relationship with a staff biologist who will help you with an ecological assessment of your land, review your goals, and provide you with information regarding the various incentive and assistance programs available. If together you decide that the LIP program could help you meet your management and restoration goals, your TPWD biologist will assist you to prepare and submit a project proposal packet.
What are some criteria for applying?
Meet the specific requirements of your targeted LIP funding series.
The results of the proposed action(s) must be measurable. Therefore, the landowner must agree to allow biologists onto their property for a pre-agreement survey and periodic progress checks to assess the success of the project objectives. Priority is also given to those projects where long term species monitoring is implemented.
The landowner must be willing to sign a project agreement. Each agreement will be designed to meet the landowner's individual conservation and land use needs and objectives. Inability to complete LIP project due to weather or other conditions beyond the landowner's control will be considered individually and rescheduled.
How will proposals be selected?
The LIP is a competitive grant program. Project proposals are reviewed and ranked according to the ranking criteria specific to the funding series. Depending on the funding series, proposals are also reviewed by USFWS biologists, TPWD diversity biologists and/or fisheries staff. The primary selection criteria will be based on the extent to which the action achieves the goals of the targeted funding series balanced against the cost effectiveness of the proposed action. Applicants not selected will be eligible to reapply. Successful applicants will be notified and arrangements will be made to develop terms of the agreement. Because LIP utilizes federal funds, TPWD is required to provide assurances that the project will not negatively impact important cultural resources or federally-listed species, so reviews may be needed depending on the planned project activities.
What type of project is eligible for funding?
TPWD encourages effective and cost-efficient conservation projects. Funds can be used for projects that enhance and protect wildlife habitat and/or enhance target watersheds. Common practices include native plant restoration, control of exotic vegetation, prescribed burning, selective brush management, wetland enhancement, riparian restoration, and forest stand improvement. Other actions not listed here that will accomplish conservation goals at reasonable cost are encouraged and will be considered.
What are the funding limitations?
LIP is a cost-share reimbursement program. Depending on the funding series, TPWD will contribute between 50% and 75% of a total project cost, while the applicant is expected to contribute the balance (materials or in-kind services are acceptable match). LIP is a reimbursement program, so landowners receive payment upon completion of planned practices and submission of valid invoices. Receipt of payment will be contingent on the landowner's fulfillment of the agreement and completion of the project. Landowners are expected to work with their TPWD biologist to document final results of the project. Requests for reimbursement must be submitted by the TPWD or USFWS biologist working on the project. Annual program funding varies according to availability of LIP funds. Project proposals must be filled out by a TPWD biologist who will work on the project. Please contact your local TPWD Wildlife biologist for more information.
The Texas LIP currently offers the following funding options
LIP Partners Watershed Funding Series
The LIP Partners Watershed Funding Series is designed to meet the needs of private, non-federal landowners wishing to enact good conservation practices on their lands. This allocation of LIP funding is made possible through a cooperative agreement with the USFWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program. All projects approved for funding are thereby subject to the terms and conditions of that Program
Pre-proposal submission deadline: February 16, 2020.
Exceptional projects will be funded on a rolling basis so don't wait for a submission deadline to submit.
LIP Conserving Texas Rivers Funding Series
The LIP Conserving Texas Rivers Funding Series is specifically dedicated to conservation actions that positively impact these watersheds.
Pecos Watershed Grassland Restoration Funding Series
The Pecos Watershed Grassland Restoration Funding Series is designed to restore desert grassland on private lands within the Pecos Watershed of Texas. This allocation of LIP Funding is through a cooperative agreement between the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Rio Grande Joint Venture.
Conservation License Plate LIP Funding Series
The Conservation License Plate LIP Funding Series is dedicated to enhancing habitat for rare and declining species native to Texas to aid in reducing the need for federal protection. These species are identified as Species of Greatest Conservation Need in the Texas Conservation Action Plan (TCAP), and are considered "high priority" as a result of their rarity, risk of further decline, and their need for conservation action to achieve population recovery.
Projects from this funding are selected from the applicant pool for the LIP Partners Watershed Funding Series.
TPWD has a statutory and fiduciary responsibility to maximize cost-effectiveness of grant dollars. One important measure of cost effectiveness is the quantity or quality of tangible products proposed to be generated from funded projects. Applicants may voluntarily reduce their reimbursable indirect (F&A) rates to dedicate more funds to their project goals. Unrecovered indirect costs may be used to meet match requirements.
What's Going On With LIP?
LIP in Action: Llano River Watershed, Mason County
This spring was fenced out from continuous cattle grazing to encourage the growth of riparian vegetation. Native riparian vegetation provides a buffer from nutrients flowing into the system, habitat for wildlife, and benefits the spring and aquatic fauna.

Texas LIP currently offers the following funding options
The LIP Partners Watershed Funding Series
Selected pre-proposals will then be required to submit a full proposal (template will be provided).
After ranking and careful review by committee projects selected for funding can anticipate having a contract in place by October 2020, so plan work timeline accordingly.
View and Find Texas Watersheds
The LIP Partners Watershed Funding Series is designed to meet the needs of private, non-federal landowners wishing to enact good conservation practices on their lands. This allocation of LIP funding is made possible through a grant from the USFWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program. All projects approved for funding are thereby subject to the terms and conditions of that Program. Projects supported by this funding series are managed jointly by TPWD and USFWS biologists. The goal of this funding series is to establish, restore, and/or enhance habitat for state and federal trust fish, wildlife and plant species on privately owned lands (non-state and non-federal).
Project proposals will be prioritized based on the following criteria:
Highest priority: projects within identified priority areas that are expected to directly benefit Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed species and their habitats
High priority: projects that are expected to directly benefit ESA-listed species and their habitats, but not located in a priority area
Other priority: projects that are expected to benefit other state or federal trust species and their habitats.
Regardless of location, good projects are encouraged to apply and will be reviewed and receive funding if available.
Special emphasis will be placed on projects that also show benefit to
Freshwater mussel species of conservation concern (ESA Candidates or petitioned)
Pollinator species
2020 Texas LIP Priority Areas

Additional selection prioritization factors include:
Efficiency and sustainability of the proposed restoration action
Matching contributions volunteered by private landowners to implement the proposed restoration action
Proximity of the proposed action to USFWS, TPWD, or other privately protected areas,
Relevance to emerging fish, wildlife, plant and habitat conservation issue.
Long term protection
NOTE: with this LIP funding series prescribed fire projects cannot be supported unless the landowner or hired burn crew can demonstrate compliance with USFWS and NWCG Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations and the guidance set forth in Chapter 17 of the FWS Fire Management Handbook (PDF).
Contact Arlene Kalmbach (LIP Coordinator), your local TPWD Wildlife biologist, and/or any of the additional contacts provided in the funding series descriptions, listed above.
The LIP Conserving Texas Rivers Funding Series
Project proposals taken on a continuous basis until all funds are spent.
Targeting property in both the riparian zone and uplands of the:
Rio Grande Watershed
Llano River Watershed
Pedernales River Watershed
Blanco River Watershed
This Funding Series is specifically dedicated to conservation actions that positively impact these three watersheds. Property does not have to include a riparian area to be considered. Many forms of conservation land stewardship will qualify, including upland habitat enhancements. The goal is to restore riparian zones, restore aquatic habitats, improve water quality, increase water quantity, reduce erosion, and remove non-native species. The program encourages and supports a wide array of sustainable land-use activities that are compatible with aquatic resource conservation. While the ultimate goal of this funding is to improve habitat for the state fish, the Guadalupe Bass, this funding will be used to support projects implementing conservation actions on any habitat within the targeted watershed with the understanding that conservation based land stewardship will have a positive impact on the watershed.
This allocation of LIP funding is made possible through a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as well as partnerships with Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All projects approved for funding are thereby subject to the terms and conditions of that grant. Grants require a 50:50 cost share.
The Conservation License Plate LIP Funding Series is dedicated to enhancing habitat for rare and declining species native to Texas to aid in reducing the need for federal protection. These species are identified as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in the Texas Conservation Action Plan (TCAP), and are considered "high priority" as a result of their rarity, risk of further decline and their need for conservation action to achieve population recovery, for more information see the High Priority SGCN Species List for Texas PDF.
This allocation of LIP funding is made possible through the purchase of Conservation License Plates in Texas.
We encourage all good conservation projects to submit pre-proposals for consideration. Projects that show a direct benefit to SGCN species considered "high priority," that have known populations of such species within the project area, and that are willing to provide location-specific data to inform future conservation efforts for such species will rank the highest. Projects that benefit species that are listed as SGCN in the TCAP that are not considered "high priority" will also be given careful consideration for funding. Projects will be considered for funding on a rolling basis. Landowner contribution is encouraged but not required. Awards do not generally exceed more than $30,000 in LIP reimbursement.
*Special consideration will be given to habitat enhancement projects that offer long-term protection, long-term monitoring, and that will provide location-specific data for high priority SGCN.

Iranian book illustrator Ali Ammekan dies at 34
March 13, 2011 - 0:0
TEHRAN -- Iranian children's book illustrator Ali Ammekan, who was one of the main founders of the Blue Book Group, died on Friday. He was 34.
He was suffering from cancer for months. His body was laid to rest at his hometown Astaneh-Ashrafieh in northern Iran.
In recent months, the artists held several exhibitions to raise fund for his treatment. Unfortunately, he did not benefit from complementary health insurance and his family could not afford the expenses.
Born in 1976, he took his B.A. in painting in 2000. Ali and his brother Hassan founded the Blue Book Group in 2007 in which thirty other Iranian and foreign illustrators are collaborating.
The foreign illustrators come from Italy, France, Spain, Japan, Portugal, Hungary and Mexico and selections from their works will be on display.
He has begun his work with illustration of children magazines 14 years ago and has illustrated many children book during his short life.
"Athletic Crow", "The Most Beautiful Song", "The Last Messenger: The Life of Prophet Mohammad (S)" and "On the Highest Point of Iran" are among his credits.
His commemoration ceremony will be held on Tuesday at the Shrine of Seyyed Jalaleddin Ashraf in his hometown, Astaneh.
The Children's Book Illustrators Association announced that it would hold a commemoration ceremony for Ali Ammekan during the Iranian New Year (beginning on March 19). The exact time and place was not mentioned.
Iranians are pro-peace people who know well how to defend: Mousavi

On Brooklyn: The Once and Future City by Thomas Campanella.
Brooklyn has long suffered from little-brother syndrome, overshadowed as it is by Manhattan in politics, popular culture, and historiography. Becoming one of the five boroughs rather than remaining its own city only increased this effect. Its denizens seem to have anticipated this fate in their reluctance to join the other New York City counties; the vote for union only narrowly passed in 1897.
Thomas Campanella wants to recover the history of a Brooklyn much older than that. In Brooklyn: The Once and Future City, he follows the arrival of Dutch settlers and the early shaping of the landscape that would support the future borough. He limns Brooklyn's multiple identities and the tensions over what the borough was, and to whom—whether it was a respectable dormitory zone for Manhattan's workers, a seaside resort area, a manufacturing entrepôt, or all three. These tensions are reflected in how the borough developed—villages here and early factories there, the growth organic and shambolic before zoning was imposed.
Like all cities, Brooklyn is a spatial palimpsest, with each generation's developments layered on the previous one's. Campanella reminds us of this when he discusses the location of the Battle of Brooklyn (1776) in relation to a branch of the supermarket Trader Joe's. The borough was still rural in parts well into the twentieth century, and there are lingering fragments of earlier phases, like the population of pheasants still found on Sheepshead Bay, descended from game birds on William Whitney's early-1900s estate.
Some of the greatest visionaries of American urban space (Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles Downing Lay, Daniel Burnham, Clarence Stein) left their mark on Brooklyn. It was the target of multiple follies and urban experiments of the wealthy—close enough to Manhattan to be seen as a playground, laboratory, or dumping ground, depending on one's perspective. Development came thick and fast, as the exploding nineteenth-century population brought tract homes and real estate speculators—and the classic Brooklyn brownstone. In the twentieth century, the increased popularity of streetcar suburbs brought new developers, including one Fred Trump in the 1930s. Rows of neat, middle class houses shaped neighborhoods into ideal communities.
Alas, as with all local histories, there is no ending, only many beginnings. Some great cities have their narrative of destruction by an act of God—in Brooklyn's case, this was Robert Moses. Campanella shows us how close things came to being different: Brooklyn was the subject of much mid-century urban idealism, as "City of Tomorrow"–type plans were drafted to recreate the borough, though they did not come to fruition. What Brooklyn did get were the Fort Greene Houses, early exemplars of the Le Corbusier "towers in the park" style of public housing and harbingers of the disaster such projects turned out to be nationwide. They created environments for crime, encouraged welfare dependency (with income restrictions for residents), and, finally, served as symbols of anomie and urban dysfunction.
Campanella sees the Second World War as Brooklyn's glory days, with the Navy Yard launching seventeen new vessels, making it the "greatest war machine" in the United States. Brooklyn also had a navy airfield and was full of servicemen and women. After the jubilation of V-J day, the future seemed bright.
But the pendulum swung quickly after that, as labor unrest was taking its toll as early as the late forties. Campanella identifies 1955–70 as the worst years, during which Brooklyn lost its newspaper, its baseball team, its streetcar network, most of its major employers, and half a million residents. The Brooklyn-born writer Hubert Selby's grim vision of the city was matched by the crime rates, which led frightened residents to hunker down or get out of town.
This book provides a dense and fascinating chronicle of how the borough developed, although the tale peters out after the '70s, in the nadir between the departure of the factories and the arrival of the hipsters. Campanella offers pages on a projected Dodgers stadium in Prospect Park that was never built, but nothing about the Barclays Center. Brooklyn's new developments are barely touched. The few pages about the gentrified communities that have emerged since the '80s serve as a coda.
Campanella, a professor of urban planning at Cornell, is a native son of Brooklyn. His forebears were part of the great wave of Italian immigration that had such an impact on New York—and a generation for whom moving to Brooklyn (from the Lower East Side) was an aspiration. His history is laced with the paths of his own ancestors; he was even able to draw on his own library of photographs for some of the many illustrations of lost scenes. For anyone wanting to peel back the layers of Brooklyn's past, this book is a worthwhile starting point.

Carnegie Mellon Names Neil M. Donahue New Director of its Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research
PITTSBURGH—Carnegie Mellon University has named Neil M. Donahue director of its Steinbrenner Institute for Environmental Education and Research (SEER). He succeeds David A. Dzombak, who recently assumed leadership of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
"It's a great opportunity to lead such a diverse and dynamic institute as environmental issues continue to emerge. I look forward to having our research complement ongoing work at the newly created Scott Institute as we all strive to solve the environmental and energy issues of the 21st century," said Donahue, a professor of chemical engineering, chemistry, engineering and public policy, and founding director of CMU's Center for Atmospheric Particle Studies.
Mark Kamlet, CMU provost and executive vice president, praised Donahue for his outstanding research and leadership abilities. "We look forward to having Neil as the new director to continue to help the Steinbrenner Institute change the ways the world thinks and acts about the environment," Kamlet said.
Donahue, who joined the faculty in 2000, is an internationally recognized expert in atmospheric chemistry and air-quality engineering. With more than 150 peer-reviewed publications, his research focuses on the behavior of organic compounds in the atmosphere, ranging from fundamental quantum chemistry to the way chemistry forms molecules that stick to particle pollution, such as wood smoke and diesel emissions.
His latest research has focused on chemistry that forms particles literally out of thin air - known as nucleation - as part of an international team called the CLOUD consortium at the nuclear physics laboratory CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
"The air that we breath is chocked full of particles called aerosols. These tiny liquid and solid particles come from hundreds of sources, including trees, volcanoes, cars, trucks and wood fires, and some form when two very sticky molecules collide with each other," Donahue said. "The small particles influence cloud formation and rainfall, and affect climate and human health."
Donahue is extremely active in the community of atmospheric science and air quality researchers. He has served as associate editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research, Atmospheres and as a member of the editorial board for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
Donahue also has served on the board of directors of the American Association for Aerosol Research and as a local section chair of the American Chemical Society. He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union.
He received his bachelor's degree in physics in 1984 from Brown University, and a Ph.D. in meteorology and atmospheric chemistry in 1991 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

One of my goals is to create new gluten free clean-eating recipes to share in Inspired Housewife. Now, I cannot say whether all of them will end up on the blog because I usually practice recipes a few times before they grace the webpages of Inspired Housewife, but when it came to this recipe in particular—eggplant roll ups with goat cheese—my entire family loved it and I just had to share it with you!
Okay, when I say that the whole family fell in love with this recipe, I have to fess up. My daughter Ayla is just not a fan of eggplant. You can hardly blame her. Even some adults have to acquire a taste for it. My friend, for instance, traveled through Italy on an art study tour in her twenties and she'd never tasted eggplant in her life (even though she's always been a vegetarian). Every hotel diner and university cafeteria on her trip served her and the other vegetarians eggplant Parmesan because each Italian chef thought they would attempt to impress the newcomers with a signature veggie-based dish. My friend admitted that she hated eggplants the first week, then she started to like it the second week, but by the third week, she swore to herself they would be forever stricken from her diet. By the fourth week, she was skipping the group meals and living off of margarita pizzas. It's been 13 years. Do you think she's given eggplants in any form another try? "What?! Absolutely not!" she'll say.
It is a healthy brain food.
It's a gorgeous purple color.
It's a versatile vegetable. You can use it in so many dishes—from pizzas to salads, from salads to curries, from curries to pastas, and from pastas to the more rustic "meat and potatoes" type of dishes.
Before this 21-Day Fix eggplant roll ups with goat cheese recipe, I'd never tried roll ups before with this vegetable. Since my success with these, I've discovered that there are several great eggplant recipes out there, such as: eggplant roll-ups with meat, eggplant roll-ups with cream cheese, eggplant roll-ups with ricotta cheese, eggplant roll-ups without ricotta cheese… Perhaps I should stop channeling my inner Bubba Gump and get straight to the recipe itself.
1 medium eggplant cut into 1/4 inch oblong pieces from end to end.
Pre-heat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and place middle rack in the oven.
Take eggplant pieces and place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Salt the the pieces and set aside for 30 minutes.
Roast in the oven for 12 minutes and baste with oil.
Take the chopped onion, minced garlic and olive oil and place into a skillet to saute until both the garlic and onion become translucent and soft, do this while the eggplant is roasting.
In another small mixing bowl add in the cottage cheese, chopped spinach, basil, oregano, parsley, sauteed garlic and onion to mix thoroughly.
Take a 1/2 cup of marinara sauce and using a spoon spread evenly on the bottom of the 2 qt glass Pyrex casserole dish.
Pat your eggplant strips dry and place 2 tablespoons full of the cottage cheese mixture into the top of the slices and roll up. Place the eggplant roll up into the dish with the seam facing down.
Repeat this process until you have no more slices and cottage cheese.
Take 2.5 cups left of the marinara sauce and spread over the top of the eggplant roll ups.
Sprinkle the 4 tablespoons of goat cheese over the top of the roll ups and place in the oven.
Cook for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
This 21-Day Fix recipe pairs nicely with a side salad and a piece of fresh fruit to give more nutritional value to your dinners. You can make it in bulk ahead of time. Portion some for dinner and stow the rest away in your refrigerator for lunch tomorrow since the flavors are even better the next day.
Let me know what you think of this clean-eating eggplant roll ups recipe in the comments below! Did you love it/hate it? What would you do differently? How do you prefer your eggplant?
This recipe was delicious, however I find the calculations to be off. There is no accounting for the marinara sauce which would count as a 1/4 purple for 1 role and 1/2 for 2 roles. I also added sautéed mushrooms and used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese.
This would be great as whole wheat lasagna or roll a cooked lasagna noodle with the eggplant for a carb.
I lightly salt them with very little as I have done exactly what you are saying. I tend to wipe them clean afterwards too if I got to much in one area.
Did you make the marinara? Or purchase?
loveeeee eggplant. I always have the hardest time cooking it into something delicious though–so this is great!
I love it too! Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the pin Lauren!


We have looked at definitions and examples of some key vocabulary – organization, service, impact, cooperation, respect and responsibility. We have also had guest speakers to talk about the organizations they work with to help students tune in to the unit.
For language within this unit, we will learn about persuasive writing – students will look at exemplars of this text type and analyze the language features and the structure of persuasive writing. More about this in a later blog post.

The DBMS_JOB package schedules and manages jobs in the job queue.
The DBMS_JOB package has been superseded by the DBMS_SCHEDULER package. In particular, if you are administering jobs to manage system load, you should consider disabling DBMS_JOB by revoking the package execution privilege for users.
For more information, see Chapter 140, "DBMS_SCHEDULER" and "Moving from DBMS_JOB to DBMS_SCHEDULER" in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide.
No specific system privileges are required to use DBMS_JOB. No system privileges are available to manage DBMS_JOB. Jobs cannot be altered or deleted other than jobs owned by the user. This is true for all users including those users granted DBA privileges.
You can execute procedures that are owned by the user or for which the user is explicitly granted EXECUTE. However, procedures for which the user is granted the execute privilege through roles cannot be executed.
Note that, once a job is started and running, there is no easy way to stop the job.
DBMS_JOB supports multi-instance execution of jobs. By default jobs can be executed on any instance, but only one single instance will execute the job. In addition, you can force instance binding by binding the job to a particular instance. You implement instance binding by specifying an instance number to the instance affinity parameter. Note, however, that in Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) instance binding is not recommended. Service affinity is preferred. This concept is implemented in the DBMS_SCHEDULER package.
The following procedures can be used to create, alter or run jobs with instance affinity. Note that not specifying affinity means any instance can run the job.
Use the parameters instance and force to control job and instance affinity. The default value of instance is 0 (zero) to indicate that any instance can execute the job. To run the job on a certain instance, specify the instance value. Oracle displays error ORA-23319 if the instance value is a negative number or NULL.
The force parameter defaults to false. If force is TRUE, any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance. If force is FALSE, the specified instance must be running, or Oracle displays error number ORA-23428.
The FORCE parameter in this example defaults to FALSE. If the instance value is 0 (zero), job affinity is altered and any available instance can execute the job despite the value of force. If the INSTANCE value is positive and the FORCE parameter is FALSE, job affinity is altered only if the specified instance is running, or Oracle displays error ORA-23428.
If the force parameter is TRUE, any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance and the job affinity is altered. Oracle displays error ORA-23319 if the instance value is negative or NULL.
Two parameters, instance and force, appear in this example. The default value of instance is null indicating that job affinity will not change.
The default value of force is FALSE. Oracle displays error ORA-23428 if the specified instance is not running and error ORA-23319 if the instance number is negative.
The force parameter for DBMS_JOB.RUN defaults to FALSE. If force is TRUE, instance affinity is irrelevant for running jobs in the foreground process. If force is FALSE, the job can run in the foreground only in the specified instance. Oracle displays error ORA-23428 if force is FALSE and the connected instance is the incorrect instance.
This procedure sets the broken flag. Broken jobs are never run.
System-assigned ID of the job being run. To find this ID, query the JOB column of the USER_JOBS or DBA_JOBS view.
Sets the job as broken or not broken. TRUE sets it as broken; FALSE sets it as not broken.
Next date when the job will be run.
If you set job as broken while it is running, Oracle resets the job's status to normal after the job completes. Therefore, only execute this procedure for jobs that are not running.
Your job will not be available for processing by the job queue in the background until it is committed.
If a job fails 16 times in a row, Oracle automatically sets it as broken and then stops trying to run it.
This procedure changes any of the fields a user can set in a job.
Date function; evaluated immediately before the job starts running.
When a job is submitted, specifies which instance can run the job. This defaults to NULL, which indicates that instance affinity is not changed.
If this is FALSE, then the specified instance (to which the instance number change) must be running. Otherwise, the routine raises an exception.
If this is TRUE, then any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance.
The parameters instance and force are added for job queue affinity. Job queue affinity gives users the ability to indicate whether a particular instance or any instance can run a submitted job.
If the parameters what, next_date, or interval are NULL, then leave that value as it is.
This procedure changes job instance affinity.
When a job is submitted, a user can specify which instance can run the job.
If this is TRUE, then any positive integer is acceptable as the job instance. If this is FALSE (the default), then the specified instance must be running; otherwise the routine raises an exception.
This procedure changes how often a job runs.
Date function, evaluated immediately before the job starts running.
'sysdate + 7' Run once a week.
'next_day(sysdate,''TUESDAY'')' Run once every Tuesday.
If interval evaluates to NULL and if a job completes successfully, then the job is automatically deleted from the queue.
This procedure changes when an existing job next runs.
Date of the next refresh: it is when the job will be automatically run, assuming there are background processes attempting to run it.
This procedure removes an existing job from the job queue. This currently does not stop a running job.
This procedure runs job JOB now. It runs it even if it is broken.
Running the job recomputes next_date. See data dictionary view USER_JOBS or DBA_JOBS.
If this is TRUE, then instance affinity is irrelevant for running jobs in the foreground process. If this is FALSE, then the job can be run in the foreground only in the specified instance.
This re-initializes the current session's packages.
An exception is raised if force is FALSE, and if the connected instance is the wrong one.
This procedure submits a new job. It chooses the job from the sequence sys.jobseq.
Ensure that you include the ; semi-colon with the statement.
Date function that calculates the next time to run the job. The default is NULL. This must evaluate to a either a future point in time or NULL.
A flag. The default is FALSE. If this is set to FALSE, then Oracle parses the procedure associated with the job. If this is set to TRUE, then Oracle parses the procedure associated with the job the first time that the job is run.
For example, if you want to submit a job before you have created the tables associated with the job, then set this to TRUE.

NOTE: There's quite a lot of information available online as part of the Science Museum's 'Future Foods An exhibition debating genetic modification' which runs at the museum (Exhibition Road, London, SW7) until 31 May.
Attempts to introduce genetically modified foods had been "cack-handed" because proponents failed to understand that the issue was not technology but food culture, according to Timothy Lang, professor of food policy at London's City University.
Opening a small exhibit, Future Foods An exhibition debating genetic modification, at the Science Museum in London this week, he said that though he was neutral on the issue of GM, he was highly critical of the way it had been introduced.
It was not a technical fix, he emphasised: GM technology might be useful "in some issues, in some places" but it could not fix all the food policy problems of the 21st century. For this reason, "I seriously urge those who are gung-ho about it to back off.
"It has done nothing to address issues of social inequality. And it cannot do so it's a technology, for goodness sake," he commented.
Although some saw the public controversy over GM as Luddism versus neutral technology, he viewed it "as a really valuable illustration of democracy that is, live debate about what we put in our mouths."
Controversy had been a timely reminder that "you can do anything you like to food but it is people who ultimately eat it "¦ There is nothing like changing people's diets to either institute a food riot or institute political problems."
Lang said that GM technology, like everything else, had to be assessed through the lens of sustainable development. The evidence so far was that no harm has been shown from ingestion, but genetic pollution was an issue: many patent specialists were deeply troubled by ownership of the basis of life genes.
"The technical potential [of GM] has been distorted over how it has been introduced and who owns it. It is a classic case of the ownership of the technology rather than the technology."
Lang advocated public ownership of GM and more public investment in understanding the ecological and genetic basis of food.
"I believe food democracy is more important than food control and the problem with GM was that it was introduced within the ethos of food control, not food democracy."
Dr Emile Frison, director of Biodiversity International, Italy, emphasised that even if genetically modified technology did not produce food on the plate, it was a powerful research tool. He cited GM's crucial role in tackling new banana diseases in east Africa.
Like Lang, he criticised the decline in public sector agricultural investment, pointing out that all the east African banana research had been carried out in the public sector, funded by the Uganda government.
Earlier this year, he noted, heads of state had pledged to double investment in agricultural research: the question was, What kinds of research?
Traditionally, research had been focussed on yields, to the relative neglect of issues such as nutrition and sustainability. Farmers spread risk by growing different crops, he said, a model that modern agriculture had replaced with monoculture.
Another modern impact was the increase in obesity "and rapid increases in diseases of affluence even in the poorest countries".
There had also been too much investment in energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods: "We must revisit our model, and assess GM's role in it."


This book does a great job of showing how to combine basic pieces and what outfits work for different occasions like weddings and job interviews. I think it would be a great graduation gift for the tempo short-ed graduate in your life. Ignore the bad reviews, but buy it used since it's kind of expensive for what it is.
This book is huge and covers a lot of information, though I still like the InStyle one better for basic outfits.
One of my very first posts was about how this book helped me clean out my closet once and for all. It's not a book of pretty pictures, but instead a guide to what you need and how to shop better.
This is by far my favorite book. Even though the magazine is no longer around, the lessons and inspiration are still fantastic and I look at this book every couple of months when I think I want to buy something for the house.


ISLAMABAD: A meeting of the China-Pakistan parliamentary friendship group was held with Senator Saleem Mandviwala as its convener on Tuesday.
Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Sun Weidong attended the meeting along with some officials from the embassy. The senators and the Chinese ambassador vowed to enhance linkages between the Pakistani parliament and the National People's Congress (NPC) as well as the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Senator Saleem Mandviwala, while narrating the aims of the parliamentary friendship group, said that the purpose of the group was to enhance interaction between the Pakistani parliament and the Chinese NPC and CPPCC. "The group will also work towards promoting exchange programmes and relations between the two sides on legislative side, besides maintaining information about the activities and engagements of members of the NPC, CPPCC and the Senate of Pakistan.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director General (China) Muhammad Hassan briefed the group and the ambassador on the relations between the two countries. Calling the all-weather strategic partnership between the two countries "one of the most exemplary relations between two nations that enjoy across the board political and popular support on both sides", he explained different aspects of cooperation in the economic, counter-terrorism, defence, development, education and diplomatic areas.
The Chinese ambassador gave a detailed briefing on the Chinese political system, informing the friendship group about the history of the Communist Party of China, the foundation of People's Republic of China, the foundation of progress, the new era of Chinese history in 1976 when China decide to open up to the world, and the transition of China from a planning economy to a socialist economy.
He gave insight into the Chinese political and judicial systems, including details of different types of people's courts and the unique nature of the CPPCC.
The senators expressed their gratitude to the ambassador for attending the first meeting of the friendship group, as it showed the depth of the relations between the two countries. Both sides agreed that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) symbolised the people-centric approach of both the countries. It was also agreed that only people had the right to choose the way of political system under which their lives were governed, and that what works well for one country may not work for the other. The friendship group will hold further interactions in the future to promote national consensus on friendly relations on both sides.

Today is Monday, a relatively slow day at our shop on Frankfort Avenue; thus the perfect day to make things happen.
I spent the first part of the day sloughing through paperwork: bills, orders....then on to the good stuff.
I cut and stitched together a pair of my "4-pocket-pants" out of a linen type material I picked up in San Fran back in November.
Here's a photo of the completed pants and my outfit of today.
Gotta love some pockets. Also wearing a leopard print 8 point cap I made a bit ago, with striped tee, gold jewelry, and my metallic leopard print sneakers that I love and live in. There's never an excuse not to try and look interesting every day.
My husband is learning how to make hats, today he finished the fur on 3 hats he blocked yesterday.
You can see how shiny and beautiful the crowns of these rabbit felt hats look after being finished.
After my son got picked up from school, he came to the shop with us, where he likes to spend his time lining up his cars on my sewing machine tables. "Choo choo," he says.

Q: SKlearn pipeline using KNeighborsClassifier I am trying to build a GridSearchCV pipeline in sklearn for using KNeighborsClassifier and SVM. SO far, have tried the following code:
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier
neigh = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=3)
from sklearn import svm
from sklearn.svm import SVC
clf = SVC(kernel='linear')
pipeline = Pipeline([ ('knn',neigh), ('sVM', clf)]) # Code breaks here
weight_options = ['uniform','distance']
param_knn = {'weights':weight_options}
param_svc = {'kernel':('linear', 'rbf'), 'C':[1,5,10]}
grid = GridSearchCV(pipeline, param_knn, param_svc, cv=5, scoring='accuracy')

but am getting the following error:
TypeError: All intermediate steps should be transformers and implement fit and transform. 'KNeighborsClassifier(algorithm='auto', leaf_size=30, metric='minkowski',
           metric_params=None, n_jobs=1, n_neighbors=3, p=2,
           weights='uniform')' (type <class 'sklearn.neighbors.classification.KNeighborsClassifier'>) doesn't

Can anyone please help me with what am I going wrong, and how to correct it? I think there is something wrong with the last line as well, re params.

A: The error clearly says that the  KNeighborsClassifier doesnt have transform method KNN has only fit method where as SVM has fit_transform() method. for the Pipeline we can pass n number of arguments in to it. but all the arguments should have transformer methods in it.Please refer the below link
http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.pipeline.Pipeline.html

A: The scikit-learn Pipeline steps require to have the transform() method. You might want to try the pipeline from imblearn instead.
See for instance here: https://bsolomon1124.github.io/oversamp/


In 1926 Assagioli founded the Istituto di Cultura e Terapia Psichica (The Institute of Culture and Psychic Therapy) in Rome. During the same year, he would publish (in English) Psychosynthesis: A New Method of Healing, which consisted of his understandings of the complex interchange between the body and psyche and psychosomatic medicine. It was during this time he spoke about music and color therapies and made his first visit to the US. He was also busy working as the assistant editor of the theosophist magazine Ultra, and organizing various lectures and seminars sponsored by the journal.
Serving in these numerous and varied roles, Assagioli still took time to write down his own thoughts and intuitions om how to serve others. Given the urgency of our times, we all might be also feeling especially called to provide some greater service in the world. I found Assagioli's personal notes helpful reminders of how we might proceed.
Here we are reminded that working with and leading others requires us to synthesis the aspects of love and will found in each individual and within the group.
1. Harmonize the people who are strong, full of passion, the fighters.
2. Stir up those who are good-hearted.

Thank you for this awareness, Catherine!

Q: Is there any well known project to VBify C and make C as RAD language? I have two questions:
Question #1: Is there any well known project to VBify  C? VBify here means to make it as easy as in VB.NET and to make C well supported in IDE just like VB.NET, i.e. with following features: word completion, function's argument description and everything just as with VB.NET development using Visual Studio.
Question #2: Is there any well known effort to make C as RAD (Rapid Application Development) language?

A: Perhaps you are looking for Visual C++ 2010 Express?
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express
This allows you to do C++ programming, so you "just" need to stay within plain C.

A: For your first question, any good C IDE should provide that functionality for, at the very least, standard C. I haven't done C programming in a while, doing mostly C++ and Java development, but I would look at IDEs such as NetBeans or Eclipse with the necessary plugins to support C development. Wikipedia also lists a number of other C and C++ IDEs.
As for your second question, language has nothing to do with Rapid Application Development. RAD is a process methodology that emphasizes rapid prototyping over up-front planning and design.  Although not explicitly about Rapid Application Development, Steve McConnell wrote a book about achieving shorter schedules and higher quality products - Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules. There is one section where RAD is explicitly mentioned, and it's described as "a collection of practices" that "doesn't apply to any kind of unique software".

A: Have a look at Embarcadero's C++ Builder.  It takes the powerful, easy-to-use Delphi IDE and standard libraries, including the VCL, (the Delphi Visual Control Library, the widget set every other widget set wants to be like when it grows up,) and makes them available to C and C++.
