Q: What will happen if features are correlated to output? I was doing CS109 lab. There I saw this written:-
"By the way, there is a problem with pre-doing feature selection before doing cross-validation. Ideally one should be doing the feature selection separately in each fold. The reasons for this is basically that there is a high probability that a feature correlates strongly with y just by chance, if there are so many features. How to do this properly will become clear in the homework."
Can, someone explain me, what will happen if features are correlated to y?

A: What the paragraph tries to say is that if you do feature selection before (rather than inside) the cross-validation loop, the selected features may perform poorly at test time.
The reason for this is that to pre-select features, one typically uses the whole train-val set, but in the subsequent cross-validation step, the same data is used to evaluate the features. The cross-validation scores will therefore overestimate true performance. This effect will be more pronounced if there are many features to choose from, since the chance of many features explaining (correlating with) y on the train-val set is higher.
Note that if the features are selected for each cross-validation fold separately, there is no such problem: for each split, one part of the train-val set is  used for feature selection & model fitting, and the other part for evaluation.

Local business accelerator Ignition to open co-working space next month

WILLIAMSBURG — As it enters its third year in operation, local business incubator and nonprofit Ignition will launch a new co-working space for area startups next month.
Ignition Workspace will launch Sept. 7, according to a news release from the group, and will be located in the existing Ignition offices on the top floor of a Richmond Road office building. The space will be renovated to have meeting rooms, private offices and more, Ignition founder Lance Zaal said.
As Zaal explained, Ignition provides support, mentorship, networking and investment opportunities for local entrepreneurs. He said Ignition stands out from other local business incubator services because it's privately operated and led by entrepreneurs who seek to help other local entrepreneurs.
Ignition Workspace will serve as a natural extension of the nonprofit's mission by offering its members access to private offices, co-working space and a network of entrepreneurs and mentors, along with a group of investors that has raised nearly $1 million for Virginia startups and admission to Ignition's yearly marquee event, Shark Tank Virginia.
"I think we can offer a really great co-working space, but we can also offer really great incubation services to help businesses succeed, and the fact that we're led and consist of entrepreneurs, I think, really helps," Zaal said.
Members will be able to choose between using open co-working spaces, semi-enclosed offices or private offices. Ignition Workspace will be led and managed by John Bundy, who has prior experience with co-working spaces, Zaal said. He said the office space is currently underutilized and is mainly used to hold occasional meetings.
"What the Ignition Workspace is going to do is allow people to use the nice space that we have," he said. "We're going to be renovating that office and we'll be replacing the flooring, adding individual private offices and giving it a facelift, and adding some options where people can rent and use the space and we'll be holding events there on a regular basis."
A grand opening celebration is also planned for September, Zaal said.

Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraising campaign at Jiffy Lube
Participating Jiffy Lube service centers across the country — including the company's Williamsburg location on Second Street — will hold a fundraising campaign throughout August to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
All this month, Jiffy Lube customers who donate at least $3 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association through the car maintenance company's Muscle Up campaign will receive a savings book with over $100 in savings from Jiffy Lube, Barnes and Noble, 24-Hour Fitness and other national retailers, according to a company news release.
Since 2012, the campaign has raised more than $6 million across the country, and Jiffy Lube aims to raise an additional $1 million for the Muscular Dystrophy Association this year, the release states.

Ра́менское — город в России, административный центр Раменского городского округа Московской области; крупнейший населённый пункт городского поселения Раменское.
Население —  чел. ().

Город расположен в 30 км к юго-востоку от Москвы.

История
Название города происходит от слова «раменье» — «опушка, окраина леса».

Первое письменное упоминание о Раменской великокняжеской волости относится к 1328 году. Московский князь Иван Калита впервые упоминает эту местность в своей духовной грамоте. В 1628 году в церковных письменных источниках упоминается Храм Св. Бориса и Глеба, который стоит на озерке. Эту дату можно считать и первым упоминанием озера, которое получило название по церкви.

В 1725—1730 гг. на берегу Борисоглебского озера графом П. И. Мусиным-Пушкиным строится каменная Троицкая церковь с приделами Св. Бориса и Глеба.

В 1770-х годах владевший соседней деревней Дергаево — Волконский, Михаил Никитич, выкупил землю на берегу озера у церковного притча и ставит охотничий дом, разбивает обширный парк. Перевозит сюда крестьян из других имений и образуется село Ново-Троицкое (позднее ставшее Раменским).

В 1831 году с целью покрытия долгов помещицей княгиней Анной Александровной Голицыной (дочерью фельдмаршала А. А. Прозоровского), в Раменском была основана текстильная фабрика. Через несколько лет фабрика сгорела и в 1843 году её взял в аренду П. С. Малютин; в 1856 году её управляющим стал Ф. М. Дмитриев. В 1870-х годах фабрика была значительно расширена; во второй половине XIX века она являлась уже одним из крупнейших текстильных предприятий России.

Раменское стало центром уезда с 1924 года (с 1929 года — районный центр). Обладает статусом города с 15 марта 1926 года.

Население

Экономика
К 2007 году текстильная промышленность в Раменском практически перестала функционировать. Все корпуса прядильного комбината ЗАО «РАТЕКС» (бывш. «Красное Знамя») сданы в аренду. С 2018 года на территории бывшей текстильной фабрики действует мануфактура La Palme по производству керамической посуды и изделий из керамики.

В сентябре 2007 года на основе НПЦ «Технокомплекс», объединяющего ведущих российских приборостроителей (помимо прочих, сюда входят НПЦ «Раменское приборостроительное конструкторское бюро» и «Раменский приборостроительный завод») в Раменском создан концерн «Авионика», задачами которого являются оперативная модернизация и оснащение Вооружённых Сил Российской Федерации современной авиационной техникой, создание боевых авиационных комплексов нового поколения и увеличение экспорта авиационной техники. 20 декабря 2007 года указом В. В. Путина «Авионика» внесена в перечень стратегических предприятий России.

В городе работают электротехнический, приборостроительный, перлитовый, механический заводы, завод «Техноприбор» (производство счётных приборов).

Имеются также предприятия пищевой промышленности (молокозавод, мясо- и пищекомбинаты). Старейший в районе и самый крупный мясокомбинат «Раменский» поставляет свою продукцию в соседние регионы: в Москву, Московскую, Тульскую и Рязанскую области. В совхозе города есть завод «Доширак КОЯ», где производят продукцию под маркой «Доширак». С 1935 года в Раменском работает кондитерская фабрика, в настоящее время называется «Раконфи».

В городе активно развивается производство косметики. Одним из ведущих предприятий в данной сфере является ООО «Бергус».

Транспорт

Город расположен на железнодорожной магистрали Москва — Рязань. В черте города находятся станция Раменское, а также три остановочных пункта: Есенинская, Фабричная, Ипподром. Ипподром  является конечной для большинства пригородных электричек. В 2005 году по линии было открыто движение пригородных экспрессов «Спутник». Недалеко от платформы Ипподром расположено моторвагонное депо «Раменское».

Третья линия Московских центральных диаметров, планируемая к запуску в соответствии с планом-графиком развития центрального транспортного узла в августе 2023 года, свяжет Раменское и Зеленоград.

Рядом со станцией Раменское расположен автовокзал, ходят автобусы в Москву до станции метро  (ранее до станции ), а также в Жуковский и Бронницы.

Общественный транспорт в городе представлен автобусами и маршрутными такси.

Телекоммуникации
В городе действует раменский телефонный узел проводной связи (АТС). Стационарный выход в Интернет обеспечивается разными интернет-провайдерами, в числе которых «Раменские телекоммуникации» (РамНет), «Авиэл» и «Ростелеком». Мобильную телефонную связь предоставляют операторы «МТС», «Билайн», «Мегафон» и «Теле2».

Спорт
Футбольный клуб «Сатурн» с 1999 год по 2010 год выступал в Высшей футбольной лиге. Высшим достижением команды является 5-е место в сезоне 2007. Клуб дважды доходил до полуфинала Кубка России — в сезоне 2001/2002 и 2005/2006. Летом 2008 участвовал в розыгрыше Кубка Интертото, дойдя до финала. В 2010 году «Сатурн» был объявлен банкротом, отказался от дальнейшего участия в Премьер-лиге и прекратил своё существование. В июле 2014 года вернул профессиональный статус и выступает в ПФЛ зона Центр.

Профессиональный бадминтонный клуб «Фаворит-Раменское» (ранее «Московия») создан 1 мая 2007 года совместными усилиями подмосковной Федерации бадминтона и лично губернатора области Бориса Громова. В 2008 году «Фаворит-Раменское» стал бронзовым призёром в чемпионате России по бадминтону среди клубных команд. В июне 2008 года — серебряным призёром Кубка европейских чемпионов по бадминтону среди клубных команд.

Работает ипподром, на котором круглый год проводятся бега, ежегодно проводятся автогонки «Русская зима», а в 2000—2002 проходил фестиваль «Нашествие».

27 февраля 2008 года открыт дворец спорта «Борисоглебский». Во дворце есть возможность заниматься 15 различными видами спорта, ключевым является бадминтон.

Городской бассейн «Сатурн» пользуется популярностью для тренировок многих российских команд по водным видам спорта, включая национальные и олимпийские сборные. Помимо всего там находится сауна, баня, скалодром, и тренажёрный зал.
Также в городском бассейне «Сатурн» проводятся молодёжно-спортивные дискотеки на воде, как правило, по воскресеньям.

С 2006 года в городе существует команда по русской лапте, которая является Чемпионом России 2010 года, а также неоднократным призёром других Всероссийских соревнований, проводимых под эгидой Федерации Лапты России.

Также в городе популярны лыжи и спортивное ориентирование. Проходит трасса Лыжня-Здоровье. Регулярно прокладывают лыжную трассу для секции на озере и прилегающих территориях. Ранее на этой трассе проходил Кубок Фишера.

В 2015 году, в связи с явной нехваткой спортивных учреждений для организации досуга в Раменском, на территории Фабрики открылся первый профессиональный батутный клуб.
В дневное время посетители в основном дети, а в вечернее — организованы группы для взрослых и экстремалов (лыжники, роллеры, бордисты приходят безопасно отрабатывать трюки).

Средства массовой информации
Издаются несколько газет: «В добрый час», «Грань», «Интерес», «На каждый день», «Новый Шанс», «Раменская газета», «Эксперт по недвижимости», «Родник».

Функционирует телеканал «РамТВ». Также «Раменское Информагентство» (Раменское радио) осуществляет онлайн-радиовещание (на сайте и в Android-приложении).

Образование
В городе расположены 10 средних общеобразовательных школ и 1 муниципальное вечернее (сменное) общеобразовательное учреждение, а также 25 отделений дошкольного образования.

Достопримечательности
 Краеведческий музей. Борисоглебская (первая половина XVIII века) и Троицкая (1852) церкви. Интересны также корпуса прядильной фабрики, построенные в XIX веке, особенно привлекают внимание калориферы, выполненные в виде колонн.
 Братская могила советских воинов (Раменское)
 После 2000 года в Раменском был реализован проект по художественному оформлению группы типовых жилых домов, весьма необычный для России. В центре города установлено много разнообразных фонтанов и скульптур, некоторые из них созданы по мотивам советских мультфильмов (см. Галерею).

 В 2019 году разбит новый парк — благоустроенные берега речки Чернавки в квартале многоэтажек. Вдоль речки проложены мосты-настилы и устроен амфитеатр. Авторы проекта: архитектурное бюро: МежрегионСтрой.

Lots of grocery stores and every butcher I've ever asked carries pork belly. Chains such as Costco, Sams Club are a good bet. Keep in mind when ordering you don't need any fancy pork belly like kurobuta or berkshire. In my experience pork belly usually ranges from $3.00 – $7.00 per pound. When you see kurobuta or berkshire you'll generally see them costing 2-3x this much.
Nope. Skin on or off, both work great. If you have skin on just slice it off after you cook the belly and before you slice it.
Is pork belly just slab bacon before it is smoked/cured?
Heat the water with Tender Quick, sugar and all the other spices. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and Tender quick are dissolved. Remove from heat add ice. Stir until the ice has melted. Score the front and back (fat side) of the pork belly with a sharp knife ¼ inch deep. Place pork belly in either catering pan or sealed container and cover with brine, put in the refrigerator. Each day either turn or massage to make sure the pork belly is covered by the brine. On the final day remove brine and add clean cold water and soak overnight in the refrigerator to remove some of the salt.
Fire up the Good-One Smoker to 250 degrees using All-Natural lump charcoal. Rub the Pork belly down with a heavy coat of Three Little Pig's Touch of Cherry Rub to create the crust. Place the pork belly on the smoker and add your favorite smoking wood, I used wild cherry for this cook. Smoke the pork belly to 200 degrees internal, usually about 6-7 hours at 250 degrees.
Once the Pork Belly had been removed from the smoker allow to cool for ½ hour. Cut against the grain in about 1 inch slices, then cut the slices into the desired cube size to fit your need. Place the cubes in a hot skillet and add a little butter and Three Little Pig's Competition BBQ Sauce and sauté until hot. Serve on a large piece of Texas Toast with a side of slaw and beans.

Q: More efficient way to clean dataframe than loc My code looks like:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel("Energy Indicators.xls", header=None, footer=None)
c_df = df.copy()
c_df = c_df.iloc[18:245, 2:]
c_df = c_df.rename(columns={2: 'Country', 3: 'Energy Supply', 4:'Energy Supply per Capita', 5:'% Renewable'})
c_df['Energy Supply'] = c_df['Energy Supply'].apply(lambda x: x*1000000)
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Korea, Rep.'] = 'South Korea'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'United States of America20'] = 'United States'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'] = 'United Kingdom'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region'] = 'Hong Kong'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of)'] = 'Venezuela'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Bolivia (Plurinational State of)'] = 'Bolivia'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Switzerland17'] = 'Switzerland'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Australia1'] = 'Australia'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'China2'] = 'China'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Falkland Islands (Malvinas)'] = 'Bolivia'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Greenland7'] = 'Greenland'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Iran (Islamic Republic of'] = 'Iran'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Italy9'] = 'Italy'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Japan10'] = 'Japan'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Kuwait11'] = 'Kuwait'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Micronesia (Federal States of)'] = 'Micronesia'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Netherlands12'] = 'Netherlands'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Portugal13'] = 'Portugal'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Saudi Arabia14'] = 'Saudi Arabia'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Serbia15'] = 'Serbia'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Sint Maarteen (Dutch part)'] = 'Sint Marteen'

c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'France6'] = 'France'
c_df.loc[c_df['Country'] == 'Indonesia8'] = 'Indonesia'

I feel like there must be an easier way to change the values of the countries with parentheses and numbers in their names. What pandas method can I use to  look within the column for names with numbers of parentheses? isin?

A: You can start by getting rid of numbers and text in parentheses. After that, for everything else that requires non-trivial replacement, declare a map and apply it using pd.Series.replace.
mapper = {'Korea, Rep' : 'South Korea', 'Falkland Islands' : 'Bolivia', ...}

df['Country'] = (
    df['Country'].str.replace(r'\d+|\s*\(.*\)', '').str.strip().replace(mapper)
)

Simple enough, done.
Details
\d+     # one or more digits
|       # regex OR pipe
\s*     # zero or more whitespace characters
\(      # literal parentheses (opening brace)
.*      # match anything
\)      # closing brace

A: Using a dictionary and then df.replace:
dict_to_replace = {'Korea, Rep.':'South Korea',
                         'United States of America20':'United States',
                         'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland': 'United Kingdom'
                   ...}

df['c_df'] = df['c_df'].replace(dict_to_replace)

what made you decide you needed to change your life?
I was very unhappy with the way my life was going and that mentality was overflowing in my interpersonal relationships. I needed a routine to feel normal and having a gym membership gave me that. I had something to look forward to each day that wasn't dependent on someone else. This was "my thing".
what steps did you take to improve your life?
I went to the gym everyday and gave every session 110%. I also decided to use my personal time and social media to inspire and help others. This forced my mentality to change even if I didn't feel 100% positive or upbeat about my life. Helping others helped me. It's the best feeling in the world to see someone change their life or their habits and are excited about it. Giving encouragement to others also assisted myself with giving -myself- encouragement.
what motivates you keep on this path?
A few things motivate me to keep on this path. The first is to show the majority that hurting animals is unnecessary to achieve the level of success you want with sports, your body, health and anything related. Another thing that motivates me is seeing people change their habits to live better lives. When we feel good and confident about ourselves, we are most likely to spread love and compassion towards one another as well as empower others since we aren't seeking self esteem from tearing others down. The last thing that motivates me is the "selfish" reason. I love seeing my body change. It's a temple and I can sculpt it anyway I want. My mental health has greatly improved as well.
what are you most proud of going thru this journey?
I am most proud with how strong I've become and how much passion and drive I have. I -knew- I was meant for something, but as the years went by I was starting to think otherwise.
what futures goals do you have ?
I want to compete in jujitsu as a vegan competitor. Weight lifting gives me a ton of confidence, however, martial arts brings me back to "Earth". You must be a student even if you become a black belt and that in my opinion is so humbling and needed in this world. I also want to continue to inspire others with my fitness Instagram and my newly made Youtube Channel. If I can help as many people and save animals as I do it, that in itself is worth it.
if you could share any advice or words of encouragement what would they be?
The strongest advice I have besides making a decision to do so is to visualize yourself in that role. LIVE IN THAT LIFESTYLE. It's so easy to diverge from what we want to do and we put our focus into the person we want to be IN that decision, I believe we are more likely to stick with it.
thank you for sharing your story kim .if you know of anyone that has a story to share.


Alternative R&B has long been one of my favourite musical sub-genres, but, as time has gone on, and more experimental concepts of sound become prominent within genres stereotypically found on the car radio, it has evolved into a form of music I find quite difficult to describe.
After the release of The Weekend's 'House of Balloons' and Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange' I was enthralled. This was the alternative R&B I was searching for, but, as both artists and albums have hit peak popularity, and more abstract forms of music increasingly gather more attention, it just doesn't sit right anymore. This isn't a dig at Abel or Frank, whom both I still love as artists, it's more of an observation of the cleanliness - the structure - that has led to both of these artists entering the realms of pop.
Now I look to artists like Ian Isiah and Ot To, Not To to satisfy my experimental needs.
The latter (now a duo after contributions from Noah on the final track of the new record, after it began its life while Ian was homeless in Richmond, Virginia) have previously released on Nicolas Jaar's Other People label back in 2016, followed by a double LP, 'These Movements I & II', on London imprint ACR.
Their latest effort, 'It Loved To Happen', is experimental R&B in its truest sense. Releasing on February 15th on New Info, it has stayed true to its alternative song structure - an "effort to subvert tropes in pop R&B, whether those be the stereotypical, sterile cleanliness of radio R&B or the safe themes and song structures" - as they say.
The record opens with 'It loved', a mournful, mumbled, heartfelt sequence. It's as if Ian Murgerwa is exhausted from the essence of being, however, this isn't lazy work. It's complex, intimate and personal.
This is a sparse record, yet it packs a mighty punch. Every emotion is played out to its fullest. On 'New York City', we are met with cinematic suspense, almost too much to bear, before Mugerwa's emotionally shaken voice opens the window.
'Blanc WAV' and 'Apaixonado' are real highlights. The initial track features wooden instruments, playful plucking of strings, chanting and sublime orchestral arrangement that makes for a truly engrossing experience. It feels angry, or at least defiant, in comparison to Apaixonado. On, the latter, it doesn't quite feel like giving up, buts it's close. Like an old wooden ship on the brink of damage limitation - its captain, still and silent, in the wake of destruction.
On 'It Loved To Happen', Ot To, Not To continue to creatively and quietly implement a most intimate form of self reflection. The song writing is plain and gentle, and when combined with elements of folk, contemporary classical and recordings of winds howling, crashing oceans and chirruping birds, it makes for one of the most spellbinding records you're likely to listen to all year.

A year ago this August, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ted. I was having trouble losing weight. I was also previously diagnosed with asthma, migraines and acid reflux. I went to him overweight, exhausted and overwhelmed. He sat down with me and took great interest in what I had to say regarding my health, physical as well as mental. He went over my daily diet and activities. I told him my weight loss goals and he put me on a very specific weight loss plan according to my blood type. He gave me a list of what I should and shouldn't eat as well as the portion sizes. I started right away and I lost 12 pounds in the first 9 days.
This program is not a diet, it's a way of life. Dr. Ted gives you the tools you need to lose weight and change your life on your own. If you follow the program he gives you, the pounds will fall off and you will feel fantastic.
It's not only about weight loss. You will feel improvement in every aspect of your life. My sugar stabilized, I no longer had severe mood swings, the energy dips stopped and my migraines were gone. My asthma and acid reflux were also gone.
To date at age 40, I am down 40 pounds and I have kept the weight off. I am on no medication. Dr. Ted has truly changed my life and my way of eating. He is ready and willing to help or answer any questions you have. Thank you Dr. Ted.

\section{Introduction}

In the last years much effort was put, on both experimental and theoretical
sides, into understanding the spin structure of the proton (for reviews of
the EMC spin crisis, see \cite{review}). New data for the polarized deep
inelastic scattering (DIS) structure function $g_1$ from SLAC
\cite{SLACdatapolDIS} and the SMC \cite{SMCdatapolDIS} are consistent with
the previous EMC \cite{EMCdatapolDIS} result. Two different scenarios can
explain the data, large anomalous sea-quark or large anomalous gluon
interpretation \cite{EfrTer88,AltRos88,CarColMue88}, which are connected
with the problem of the anomalous gluon contribution to $g_1$. In fact, a
renormalization group transformation can shift the anomalous contribution to
the quark sector or to the gluon sector. In this way, either the anomaly
manifested in the matrix element of the axial quark current is responsible
for the large polarization of the sea or it can be perturbatively taken into
account in the gluon coefficient function, while the quark matrix element is
anomaly-free. The dependence of this renormalization group transformation on
the gluon momentum fraction $x$ is still controversial.

{}From the physical point of view, it is more natural that the anomaly is
attributed to the gluons. The gluonic coefficient function then absorbs only
the short-distance contributions, while the quark distribution corresponds
to a conserved operator and may be invoked in the low-energy description of
the proton. The corresponding picture of the nucleon spin structure is most
popular and the gluon polarization is considered to be its most important
unknown ingredient. The problem of its $x$-dependence is the ``physical''
counterpart of the above-mentioned renormalization group transformation.

The accounting for the anomaly by the finite renormalization
transformation is effectively resulting in the
substitution in the partonic expression for the structure function
$g_1$,
\begin{equation}
\Delta q \to \Delta \tilde q = \Delta q-{\alpha_s\over {2 \pi}}\Delta g,
\end{equation}
for the first moment of the spin-dependent quark distribution for
each flavour. The oversimplified ``naive" $x$-dependent analogue
is just
\begin{equation}
\Delta \tilde q(x) = \Delta q(x)-{\alpha_s\over {2 \pi}}\Delta G(x).
\end{equation}
However, such an expression is not compatible, in principle,
with the fact that the gluon contribution starts at one-loop level only.
The simplest, consistent approach was explored in Ref.\ \cite{karl} a few
years ago, by taking the infrared (IR) finite part $E_{\rm IR}$ of the box
diagram, responsible for the photon--gluon interaction:
\begin{equation}
\Delta \tilde q(x) =
	\Delta q(x)-
	{\alpha_s\over {2 \pi}}\int_x^1 {dz \over z}
	E_{\rm IR}\left({x \over z}\right) \Delta g(z).
\end{equation}

However, the choice of the finite part is
ambiguous and the specific role of the axial anomaly remains unclear. This
is why the attempt followed in Ref.\ \cite{ot89} to perform the
decomposition of the box diagram, referring to its kinematical structure.
The anomaly then contributes to the singlet structure, associated with the
spin structure function $g_T=g_1+g_2$ of the photon-gluon
scattering\footnote{The recent analysis
\cite{rav} confirms that the zero first moment of this structure function is
manifested
only for regularization schemes, providing the zero moment of $g_1$ as
well.}:
\begin{equation}
g_T^n={1 \over {2n(n+1)}} \Delta g^n.
\end{equation}

Attributing the anomalous gluon contribution to this structure
function resulted in its $1-x$-dependence. Later, this expression was
obtained and exploited in different approaches \cite{bass,Cheng}. However,
both derivations and interpretations of this result do not seem complete and
some more solid ground is desirable.

The anomalous gluon contribution plays an exceptional role in the general
classification of perturbative QCD contributions. Formally, it is a part of
the next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution. However, due to the well-known
growth of the first moment of the spin-dependent gluon distribution,
compensating one power of $\alpha_s$ makes it essential also at leading
order. The recently calculated two-loop, spin-dependent anomalous
dimensions \cite{MerNee95,Vog96} make it now possible to perform the
complete NLO analysis of the experimental data
\cite{GluReyStrVog96,BalForRid95,GehSti96,WeiMel96}. These NLO calculations
were performed in the dimensional regularization using the 't
Hooft--Veltman--Breitenlohner--Maison (HVBM) scheme \cite{HooVelBreMai} in
which $\gamma^5$ does not anticommute in the unphysical space-time
dimensions. In this minimal subtraction (MS) scheme  both chiral invariance
in the non-singlet sector and the one-loop character of the singlet axial
anomaly are explicitly broken and their restoration requires an additional
finite renormalization.

As the HVBM scheme is used, a further renormalization group transformation
is performed \cite{BalForRid95,For95} in order to make the result compatible
with the standard factorization prescription and the low-energy intuitive
description of the proton. However, only the value of the first moment was
fixed in that procedure, so that there remains an ambiguity in this
transformation. Note that the function $1-x$ was also proposed for this
purpose \cite{Cheng}.

In the present article, we are suggesting the non-local generalization of
the axial anomaly based on the canonical Ward identities for light-ray
operators. This allows us to give the natural description of both
anomaly-free singlet quark distribution and anomalous gluon contribution,
which fix the $x$-dependence of the renormalization group transformation.
The final result is a rigorous proof of the $1-x$-behaviour of the anomalous
contribution in NLO. Here, we do not address the issue of higher loop
corrections to the generalized axial anomaly.

The paper is organized as follows. Section II discusses the chiral invariance
breaking of flavour non-singlet light-ray operators due to the
renormalization, and their restoration by a finite renormalization. Then we
derive Ward identities for light-ray operators and compute the non-local
singlet axial anomaly, which can be expressed as a divergence from a
generalized topological current. In Section III we use our results to define
the anomaly-free singlet quark distribution and show the consequences for
coefficient functions and evolution kernels in NLO approximation.

\section{Axial anomaly of light-ray operators}

As mentioned before, chiral invariance is broken in the HVBM scheme;
however, as it is known from the renormalization of the axial current, it
can be restored by a finite renormalization, so that the non-singlet Ward
identity will be fulfilled. This finite renormalization constant $z^{\rm
NS}$ can be computed for massless QCD from the requirement that the
anticommutativity of $\gamma^5$ is effectively restored \cite{GorLar86},
i.e.
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{finitelocal}
z^{\rm NS}\left\langle
		\left[j^{5,a}_{\mu}\right]\psi \bar{\psi}
	\right\rangle
=
	\left\langle
		\left[j^{a}_{\mu}\right]\psi \bar{\psi}
	\right\rangle  \gamma^5,
\quad \mbox{with}\quad z^{\rm NS}=1-{\alpha_s\over\pi} C_F + O(\alpha_s^2),
\end{eqnarray}
where
$j^{5,a}_{\mu}=
		{1\over 2} \bar{\psi}[\gamma_{\mu},\gamma^5]\lambda^a\psi$
with $\gamma^5=i\gamma^0\gamma^1\gamma^2\gamma^3$
and
$j^{a}_{\mu}=\bar{\psi}\gamma_{\mu}\lambda^a\psi $
are the axial vector and the vector current, respectively,
$\lambda^a$ is a flavour matrix,
the symbol $[...]$ denotes minimal subtraction, and $C_F={4\over 3}$ is
the usual QCD colour factor. {}Flavour and colour indices are suppressed for
simplicity.

The one-loop character of the singlet axial anomaly can also be ensured by
some finite renormalization of the current. This required a two-loop
calculation of the Ward identities sandwiched between the two-gluon state.
The $\alpha_s$ correction to the corresponding $z$ factor,
$z^{\rm S}=1-{\alpha_s\over\pi} C_F +
O(\alpha_s^2)$, coincides with the non-singlet factor $z^{\rm NS}$. Because
of the appearance of so-called light-to-light subdiagrams, this coincidence
is spoiled beyond the one-loop level. Note that the one-loop approximation
of  $z^{\rm S}$ can also be calculated by the requirement that the singlet Ward
identities are fulfilled for the two-quark state.  Since at leading order the
axial anomaly does not appear in this Ward identity, it follows that the
finite renormalization factor is the same as that for the non-singlet channel.

The same problems as discussed above also occur for composite operators on
the light-cone, which appear in the definition of spin-dependent quark
distribution functions. {}For technical reasons we start with a more general
definition of bi-local operators, which are not necessarily on the
light-cone:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defopxy}
O_{\mu}^{5,a}(x,y) &=& {1\over 2}
	\bar{\psi}(x) U_s(x,y)\left[\gamma_{\mu},
	\gamma^5\right]\lambda^a \psi(y),
\\
U_s(x,y) &=& P \exp\left\{-ig \int_0^1 d\tau A_k^\mu(x\tau + y[1-\tau])
			t_k(x_\mu-y_\mu)\right\}.
\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
Here, $U_s(x,y)$ ensures gauge invariance, where the gauge field $A^\mu_k$ is
path-ordered along a straight line connecting the fermion fields. For
light-like distances, i.e. $(x-y)^2=0$, these operators can be expanded in
terms of local twist-2 and twist-3 operators. We set $x=\kappa_1 \tilde{x},
y=\kappa_2 \tilde{x}$, where $\tilde{x}$ is a light-cone vector and, after
contraction with $\tilde{x}^\mu$, we get the leading twist-2 light-ray
operators \cite{DitGeyHorMueRob94}\footnote{ Since $\tilde{x}$ is an
external four-vector that can be kept four dimensional in the
dimensional-regularized operator vertex, it follows that in the HVBM scheme
the relation $\left[\not\!\tilde{x},\gamma^5\right]=
2\not\!\tilde{x}\gamma^5$ is valid, so that indeed Eq.\ (\ref{defop}) comes
from the definition (\ref{defopxy}).}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defop}
O^{5,a}(\kappa_1,\kappa_2;\tilde{x})
	&=& \tilde{x}^\mu O_{\mu}^{5,a}(\kappa_1\tilde{x},\kappa_2\tilde{x}),
\nonumber\\
	&=&
	\bar{\psi}(\kappa_1\tilde{x})
			U(\kappa_1\tilde{x},\kappa_2\tilde{x})
	\not\!\tilde{x}\gamma^5\lambda^a \psi(\kappa_2\tilde{x}).
\end{eqnarray}

To determine the finite non-singlet renormalization constant in the forward
case, we require (for massless QCD), in analogy to Eq.\ (\ref{finitelocal}),
the validity of
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{finitenonlocal}
\int_0^1 dx\;
z^{\rm NS}(x) \left\langle
	\left[O^{5,a}(0,\kappa x;\tilde{x})\right]\psi \bar{\psi}
\right\rangle =
\left\langle
	\left[O^{a}(0,\kappa;\tilde{x})\right]\psi \bar{\psi}
\right\rangle  \gamma^5,
\end{eqnarray}
where $O^{a}$ is analogous to the definition of $O^{5,a}$ in Eq.\
(\ref{defop}),
but without $\gamma^5$ matrix. In the dimensional regularization using the
HVBM scheme, the leading-order result (restricted to the forward case) is
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{resfinitenonlocal}
z^{\rm NS}(x) = \delta(1-x) - {\alpha_s\over\pi} 2C_F (1-x) + O(\alpha_s^2),
\end{eqnarray}
while in the Pauli--Villars regularization, chiral invariance holds true
without finite renormalization.

As in the case of the axial current one expects, in leading order, that the
same finite renormalization as in Eq.\ (\ref{resfinitenonlocal}) has to be
performed for the singlet light-ray operator. Beyond the leading order this
is no longer true and the question is: How can we fix this finite
renormalization constant?

After we have seen that the restoration of chiral invariance requires
an  $x$-dependent finite renormalization, a second question arises: Does the
axial anomaly also depend on $x$? To answer this question we use the
equation of motion to derive Ward identities for the divergence of
the non-local operators (\ref{defopxy}).
A straightforward calculation provides that the divergence of
this operator is
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{WI1}
\left(\partial_x^\mu + \partial_y^\mu\right)
O_{\mu}^{5,a}(x,y) &=&
	\Omega^{\rm EOM}(x,y) +
	 i\bar{\psi}(x)U_s(x,y)\gamma^5 m^a \psi(y)-
\nonumber\\
	& & ig \int_0^1 d\tau\;
	\bar{\psi}(x)U_s(x,x\tau)
	\gamma_{\alpha} F^{\alpha\beta}(x\tau+y[1-\tau]) (x_\beta-y_\beta)
	 \times
	\nonumber\\
	& &\qquad U_s(y[1-\tau],y)\gamma^5\lambda^a \psi(y),
	\\
\label{WI2}
\Omega^{\rm EOM}(x,y) &=&
	\bar{\psi}(x)\big(
					[\not\!\!D(x)-i m] U_s(x,y)+U_s(x,y)[\not\!\!D(y)-i m]
				\big)
	\gamma^5\lambda^a \psi(y),
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Omega^{\rm EOM}(x,y)$ denotes the equation of motion operators,
$F_{\alpha\beta} = F^a_{\alpha\beta}  t^a$ is the field strength tensor,
and $m_{ij}^a=(m_i+m_j)\lambda^a_{ij}$ is a mass matrix.

{}For $(x-y)^2 \not= 0$ the operator is ultraviolet-finite and the Ward
identity (\ref{WI1}) should be satisfied. However, the situation will be
changed if we go to a light-like (not only short, as usually discussed)
distance. Then the operator has to be renormalized, and anomalous terms can
occur. For instance, if we naively anticommute $\not\!\!D(y)$ with $\gamma^5$
in the second expression in the r.h.s.\ of Eq.\ (\ref{WI2}) then the use of
the equation of motion will provide only contact terms. However, in the HVBM
scheme the non-anticommutativity of $\gamma^5$ gives an anomalous term,
which should be cancelled by a finite renormalization (see the discussion in
\cite{Colren}), so that the anticommutativity of $\gamma^5$ is effectively
restored as discussed above.
We calculated this anomalous term and after an appropriate definition of the
appearing operators the finite renormalization constant
(\ref{resfinitenonlocal}) was extracted from the Ward identity. As discussed
above for the local case, because of the absence of the singlet axial anomaly
in the Ward identities for the Green functions of
quark fields at one-loop order, it follows that $z^{\rm S}(x)$ coincides with
$z^{\rm NS}(x)$ at this order.

{}For the singlet case ($a=0, \lambda^0_{ij}=\delta_{ij},
m_{ij}^0=2m_i\delta_{ij}$), we expect an anomalous term of the form
$\epsilon^{\alpha\beta\gamma\delta}
		F_{\alpha\beta}(\cdots) F_{\gamma\delta}(\cdots) $,
which can be computed from the difference of the l.h.s.\ and r.h.s.\ of the
Ward identity (\ref{WI1}) sandwiched between the two gluon states (see
diagrams in Fig.\ 1). We now set $x=\kappa_1 \tilde{x}, y=\kappa_2
\tilde{x}$ with $\tilde{x}^2=0$ and choose the light-cone gauge, i.e.
$\tilde{x}A=0$. After a straightforward calculation, it turns out that in
both Pauli--Villars regularization and HVBM scheme the same anomaly appears,
so that the singlet Ward identity is actually given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{WIan1}
\left(\partial_{(\kappa_1 \tilde{x})}^\mu +
\partial_{(\kappa_2 \tilde{x})}^\mu\right)
O_{\mu}^{5,0}(\kappa_1 \tilde{x},\kappa_2 \tilde{x}) &=&
O_F(\kappa_1,\kappa_2;\tilde{x}) +
{\alpha_s\over 4\pi} N_f \int_0^1 dx \int_0^{1-x} dy\; 2\times
\nonumber\\
& &\hspace{-1cm}
F^a_{\mu\nu}\left([\kappa_1(1-x)+\kappa_2 x]\tilde{x}\right)
 \tilde{F}^{a\mu\nu}\left([\kappa_2(1-y)+\kappa_1 y]\tilde{x}\right),
\\
& &\hspace{-6.6cm}\mbox{where}
\nonumber\\
\label{WIan1defOF}
O_F(\kappa_1,\kappa_2;\tilde{x}) &=&
- ig \int_{\kappa_1}^{\kappa_2} d\tau\;
	\bar{\psi}(\kappa_1 \tilde{x})
		\gamma_{\alpha} F^{\alpha\beta}(\tau\tilde{x}) \tilde{x}_\beta
 	\gamma^5  \psi(\kappa_2 \tilde{x}).
\end{eqnarray}
Here, $\tilde{F}^{a\mu\nu} =
	{1\over 2}\epsilon^{\mu\nu\alpha\beta} F^a_{\alpha\beta}$,
with $\epsilon_{0123}=+1$, $\alpha_s = {g^2 \over 4\pi}$, and $N_f$ is the
number of flavours. Here we applied the equation of motion and neglected the
quark masses. In the local case, which follows from setting
$\kappa_1=\kappa_2=\kappa$, the operator
$O_{\mu}^{5,0}(\kappa\tilde{x},\kappa\tilde{x})$ coincides with the local
singlet axial current $j_{\mu}^{5,0}(\kappa\tilde{x})$ and from Eq.\
(\ref{WIan1}) we recover the well-known expression for the local anomaly:
${\alpha_s\over 4\pi} N_f F^a_{\mu\nu}\left(\kappa\tilde{x}\right)
\tilde{F}^{a\mu\nu}\left(\kappa\tilde{x}\right)$.

Finally, we introduce a non-local generalization of the topological current
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{topocurrent}
K^{\mu}(x,y)&=& {\alpha_s\over 4 \pi} N_f\epsilon^{\mu\alpha\beta\gamma}
	\left[
		A^a_{\alpha}(x) \partial_\beta A^a_{\gamma}(y)
	- {g\over 3} f_{abc} A^a_{\alpha}(x) A^b_{\beta}(y) A^c_{\gamma}(y)+
	\left\{x \leftrightarrow y\right\}\right],
\end{eqnarray}
with $x=\kappa_1 \tilde{x}$ and $y=\kappa_2 \tilde{x}$, so that the anomaly
in Eq.\ (\ref{WIan1}) can be written as a divergence
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{divtopocurrent}
\left(
	\partial^\mu_{(\kappa_1 \tilde{x})}+\partial^\mu_{(\kappa_2 \tilde{x})}
\right)
	K_{\mu}(\kappa_1 \tilde{x},\kappa_2 \tilde{x})
&=&
	{\alpha_s\over 4 \pi} N_f
	F^a_{\mu\nu}\left(\kappa_1 \tilde{x}\right)
	\tilde{F}^{a\mu\nu}\left(\kappa_2 \tilde{x}\right).
\end{eqnarray}
We are now able to define the anomaly-free operator
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{anofreeop}
\tilde{O}_{\mu}^{5,0}(\kappa_1 \tilde{x},\kappa_2 \tilde{x}) &=&
	O_{\mu}^{5,0}(\kappa_1 \tilde{x},\kappa_2 \tilde{x}) -
\nonumber\\
& &	2\int_0^1 dx \int_0^{1-x} dy\;
			K_{\mu}([\kappa_1(1-x)+\kappa_2 x]\tilde{x},
					[\kappa_2(1-y)+\kappa_1 y]\tilde{x}).
\end{eqnarray}

\section{Consequences for polarized distribution functions}

As shown in the previous Section light-ray operators possess anomalous
contributions. For the non-singlet case these anomalies are a pure artefact
of choosing a non-invariant chiral renormalization scheme. The polarized
quark distribution functions should be defined in a chiral invariant manner,
so that in a general renormalization scheme an additional finite
renormalization is necessary
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defquarkNS}
\Delta q^{\rm NS}(x,Q^2)= \int_x^1 {dy\over y}\; z^{\rm NS}_5(y)
\int {d\kappa \over 2\pi (\tilde{x}S)}
					\left\langle P,S\left|
\left[O^{5,{\rm NS}}(0,\kappa;\tilde{x})\right]
					 \right|P,S \right\rangle
				e^{i (x/y)\kappa (\tilde{x}P)},
\end{eqnarray}
where $S^\rho$ denotes the polarization vector of the nucleon and the
renormalization point square $\mu^2$ is set equal to the momentum transfer
squared $Q^2$. The leading-order approximation of $z^{\rm NS}_5(y)$ in the
HVBM scheme is given in Eq.\ (\ref{resfinitenonlocal}). This finite
renormalization affects the NLO approximation of both quark coefficient
functions and splitting kernels and agrees with the additional
renormalization group transformation performed in the NLO calculation
\cite{MerNee95,Vog96}.

Because of the anomaly, the naive definition of the singlet distribution
function
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defnaiveSquark}
\Delta \tilde{\Sigma}(x,Q^2)&=&
	\sum_{i=u,d,...} \Delta q_i(x,Q^2)+\Delta\bar{q}_i(x,Q^2),\qquad
\Delta\bar{q}_i(x,Q^2)=\Delta q_i(-x,Q^2)
\nonumber\\
	&=&\int_x^1 {dy\over y}\; z^{\rm S}_5(y)
		\int {d\kappa \over 2\pi (\tilde{x}S)}
					\left\langle P,S\left|
\left[O^{5,0}(0,\kappa;\tilde{x})\right]+\left\{\kappa\to -\kappa \right\}
					 \right|P,S \right\rangle
				e^{i (x/y)\kappa (\tilde{x}P)}
\end{eqnarray}
(please note that $\Delta\tilde{\Sigma}$ is defined in terms of the operator
$O^{5,0}$) cannot be interpreted as probability for finding a polarized
quark flavour singlet configuration with given longitudinal momentum
fraction $x$. In addition to the finite multiplicative
renormalization\footnote{This renormalization is due to the diagrams without
two-gluon intermediate states, which are the same for the non-singlet and
the singlet case, so that $z^{\rm S}_5(y)=z^{\rm NS}_5(y)$, as discussed
in Section II.}, it
is also necessary to remove the axial anomaly from the definition of this
function \cite{EfrTer88,AltRos88,CarColMue88}. Thus, one has to define the
singlet distribution function in terms of the anomaly-free operator
(\ref{anofreeop}), which provides
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defSquark}
\Delta\Sigma(x,Q^2) &=& \Delta\tilde{\Sigma}(x,Q^2) - k(x,Q^2),
\\
& &\hspace{-2.4cm}\mbox{where}
\nonumber\\
\label{defanomcont}
k(x,Q^2) &=&
2 \int_x^1 {dy\over y} (1-y)\int {d\kappa \over 2\pi (\tilde{x}S)}
			\left\langle P,S\left|
				\tilde{x}^{\mu} K_{\mu}(0,\kappa\tilde{x})
				+\left\{\kappa\to -\kappa \right\}
			\right|P,S \right\rangle
					e^{i (x/y)\kappa (\tilde{x}P)},
\end{eqnarray}
and the generalized topological current $K_{\mu}$ is defined in
Eq.\ (\ref{topocurrent}).

The problem that $K_{\mu}$ is gauge-variant, and thus that $k(x,Q^2)$
contains also unphysical components, can somehow be resolved by the choice
of a physical gauge. In the light-cone gauge, the gauge-invariant twist-2
gluon operator
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defgluonOp}
G(\kappa_1,\kappa_2;\tilde{x})=
 i	\tilde{x}^\alpha \tilde{F}_{a\alpha\beta}(\kappa_1\tilde{x})
	F_a^{\beta\gamma}(\kappa_2\tilde{x}) \tilde{x}_\gamma
\end{eqnarray}
can be expressed in the forward case by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{conglonOpandK}
G(0,\kappa;\tilde{x})=
	-\left({\alpha_s\over 2\pi} N_f\right)^{-1} i\tilde{x}\partial_{\kappa}
	\tilde{x}^\mu K_{\mu}(0,\kappa\tilde{x}).
\end{eqnarray}
Furthermore, from the definition of the gluon distribution function
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defgluon}
\Delta g(x,Q^2)={1\over x(\tilde{x}P)} \int {d\kappa \over 2\pi (\tilde{x}S)}
					\left\langle P,S\left|
							G(0,\kappa;\tilde{x})
					+\left\{\kappa\to -\kappa \right\}
					 \right|P,S \right\rangle
							e^{ix\kappa (\tilde{x}P)},
\end{eqnarray}
and from Eqs.\ (\ref{defanomcont}) and (\ref{conglonOpandK}), and after
performing a partial integration, we find that $k(x,Q^2)$ is actually given
in terms of the gauge-invariant gluon distribution function. Thus, to remove
the axial anomaly of the polarized quark distribution function it is
sufficient to subtract a certain amount of the gluon distribution function:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defSquarkfin}
\Delta\Sigma(x,Q^2) = \Delta \tilde{\Sigma}(x,Q^2) -
						K(x)\otimes \Delta g(x,Q^2),
\quad
K(x)= -{\alpha_s\over \pi} N_f (1-x),
\end{eqnarray}
where the convolution is defined as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{convolution}
A(x)\otimes B(x) = \int_0^1dy\int_0^1 dz\; \delta(x-y z) A(y) B(z).
\end{eqnarray}

Indeed, removing the axial anomaly is equivalent to the following
(additive) renormalization group transformation:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{rengroptrans}
\Delta C_g(x) &=& \Delta \tilde{C}_g(x) + K \otimes\Delta\tilde{C}_q(x) ,
\quad\Delta C_q(x) = \Delta \tilde{C}_q(x),
\\
\Delta P_{gg}(x) &=& \Delta\tilde{P}_{gg}(x) +
					K \otimes\Delta\tilde{P}_{gq}(x),
\quad
\Delta P_{gq}(x) = \Delta \tilde{P}_{gq}(x),
\nonumber\\
\Delta P_{qq}(x) &=& \Delta\tilde{P}_{qq}(x) -
					K \otimes\Delta\tilde{P}_{gq}(x) ,
\nonumber\\
\Delta P_{qg}(x) &=& \Delta\tilde{P}_{qg}(x) - {\beta\over g} K(x)
		+ K\otimes [\Delta\tilde{P}_{qq}-\Delta\tilde{P}_{gg} -
					\Delta\tilde{P}_{gq}\otimes K](x),
\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Delta C_i$ are the coefficient functions, $\Delta P_{ij}$ are the
spin-dependent splitting kernels,
and $\beta=\mu{d\over d\mu} g(\mu)$ is the renormalization group coefficient
of the running coupling constant.

Because of gauge invariance the operator product analysis suggests that the
zero moment of $\Delta C_g$ vanishes. After the transformation
(\ref{rengroptrans}) is performed, the gauge-variant axial anomaly
contributes to the gluonic sector, so that the zero moment is now given by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{0momentg}
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta C_g(x) =
\int_0^1 dx\;  K(x) + O\left(\alpha_s^2\right)=
- {\alpha_s\over 2 \pi} N_f + O\left(\alpha_s^2\right).
\end{eqnarray}
{}For completeness we give the difference of the splitting kernels in NLO:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{changekernel}
\Delta P_{gg}(x)-\Delta\tilde{P}_{gg}(x)  &=&
					-\left(\Delta P_{qq}(x)-\Delta \tilde{P}_{qq}(x)\right)
\nonumber\\
	&=& \left({\alpha_s\over 2\pi}\right)^2 2 C_F N_F
		\left[3(1-x)+(2+x)\ln x\right],
\nonumber\\
\Delta P_{qg}(x)- \Delta \tilde{P}_{qg}(x)  &=&
			\left({\alpha_s\over 2\pi}\right)^2 N_f
		\big\{
				C_F\left[(1-x)(1-4\ln(1-x) + 2\ln x)\right]+
\nonumber\\
&&\hspace{20,5mm}
				C_A\left[(1-x)(-16+4\ln(1-x)) -4(2+x)\ln x\right]
		\big\},
\end{eqnarray}
where the Casimir operator $C_A$ is equal to the number of colours.
Note, that these differences will vanishes in the limit $x\to\ 1$.
For small $x$ they contribute only to the subleading behaviour of the NLO
result (the leading terms are given by $\ln^2x$).

Another opportunity to perform the evolution coincides with the one proposed
by Cheng \cite{Cheng}. Namely, one should perform the evolution in the
gauge-invariant (say, $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$) scheme and {\it afterwards}
restore the anomaly-free distribution by applying Eq.\ (\ref{defSquarkfin}).
The $1-x$ behaviour in this approach is actually coming from the mass term
in the box graph. The contact with our derivation may be achieved
by noting that the cancellation of normal and anomalous divergence,
resulting in the effective conservation of axial current in the
limit of infinite quark mass, is valid for the non-local anomaly
as well. It is especially clear for the Pauli-Villars regularization,
when the contribution of regulator fermions (calculated in Section II)
is looking, up to the sign, precisely such us that of the quark masses, which
is the starting point of the approach of Cheng.

{}For practical purposes, irrespective of the used evolution scheme,
it is possible to define an effective gluon distribution, which is just the
combination appearing in $g_1$, i.e. the convolution of $(1-x)$ with
$\Delta g(x)$:
\begin{equation}
\label{defeff}
\Delta g^{\rm eff}(x, Q^2)= 2(1-x)\otimes \Delta g(x,Q^2),
\end{equation}
so that the first moments of effective gluon distribution coincide with the
``original'' one, while the structure function $g_1$ has at leading order
the simple partonic form, suitable for the extraction of partonic
distributions from the experimental data \cite{soffer}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{defg1}
g_1(x,Q^2) =
{1 \over 2}\Delta \tilde{\Sigma}(x,Q^2)=
{1 \over 2}\left[ \Delta \Sigma(x,Q^2) -
{\alpha_s\over {2 \pi}} N_f \Delta g^{\rm eff}(x,Q^2)\right].
\end{eqnarray}

It is convenient to have the evolution equation directly for effective
distribution functions. While the diagonal kernels are not changed, the
moments of the off-diagonal kernels are changed in a straightforward manner:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{effkernel}
\Delta P_{gq}^{\rm eff}(n)={2\over {n(n+1)}}\Delta{P}_{gq}(n),
\qquad
\Delta P_{qg}^{\rm eff}(n)={n(n+1)\over 2}\Delta {P}_{qg}(n).
\end{eqnarray}
Note, especially, that the influence of the effective gluon distribution to
the quark evolution, governed by $\Delta P_{qg}^{\rm eff}$, appears to be
much less singular in $n$. We are not presenting the explicit form for
effective NLO anomalous dimensions, which are rather lengthy. At leading
order, when the $x$ dependence is easily restored,
Eq.\ (\ref{effkernel}) results in the equations
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{efflead}
\Delta P_{gq}^{\rm eff}(x)={\alpha_s\over \pi}C_F[3(x-1)-(x+2)\ln x],
\quad
\Delta P_{qg}^{\rm eff}= -
{\alpha_s\over 4\pi}N_f {d \over{dx}}\delta(1-x).
\end{eqnarray}

The first moments of the splitting kernels provide an important check for the
normalization of the non-local contribution and determine the evolution
in the corresponding sum-rules. So we summarize the consequences for the zero
moment of the splitting kernels, which come from general renormalization
arguments of the axial vector current and the topological current, which are
verified up to two- and three-loop order, respectively \cite{Lar93}.
  From current conservation of
$j^{5,0}_\mu=\tilde{j}^{5,0}_\mu-k_\mu$ (here, $\tilde{j}_\mu^{5,0}$ refers
to the original definition in terms of quark fields),
the Adler--Bardeen theorem, and the renormalization properties of
gauge-invariant operators, it follows that
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{0momentqq}
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta P_{gg}(x) &=&
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta \tilde{P}_{gg}(x)+\gamma_j = -{\beta\over g} +\gamma_j,
\nonumber\\
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta P_{gq}(x) &=&
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta\tilde{P}_{gq}(x)=-{\gamma_j\over N_f[\alpha_s/(2\pi)]},
\nonumber\\
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta P_{qg}(x) &=&\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta\tilde{P}_{qg}(x)=0,
\nonumber\\
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta P_{qq}(x) &=&
\int_0^1 dx\; \Delta\tilde{P}_{qq}(x) -\gamma_j =0,
\end{eqnarray}
where the three-loop order approximation for the anomalous dimension of the
axial vector current $\gamma_j$ and for the $\beta$-function are
known\footnote{
Recently, the four-loop approximations for the $\beta$-function
and for $\bar{\gamma}_j$ were calculated. Here, $\bar{\gamma}_j$ denotes the
anomalous dimension in the MS scheme and the finite renormalization constant
$z^{\rm S}$ is known up to the order $\alpha_s^2$. To obtain $\gamma_j$ and,
therefore, also the first moment of $\Delta P_{gq}(x)$ at three-loop
order it is necessary to know $z^{\rm S}$ up to the order $\alpha_s^3$. As
proposed above, this $\alpha_s^3$ correction can be obtained by the
requirement that the singlet Ward identities for pure quark Green functions
are fulfilled at three-loop order. The four-loop calculation of both sides
of the Ward identities for the two-gluon state gives then the consistency
check for the Adler-Bardeen theorem.}
\cite{Lar93,beta3}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{axcuranomdim}
\gamma_j &=&
-\left({\alpha_s\over 4\pi}\right)^2 6 C_F N_f +
 \left({\alpha_s\over 4\pi}\right)^3
	\left(-{142\over 3}C_A + {4\over 3} N_F + 18 C_F
	\right)C_F N_f,
\\
\label{beta}
{\beta\over g}&=&
	-{\alpha_s\over 4\pi}
		\left({11\over 3} C_A -{2\over 3}N_f\right)
	-\left({\alpha_s\over 4\pi}\right)^2
			\left({34\over 3} C_A^2-2 C_f N_f -{10\over 3} C_A N_f\right)-
\nonumber\\
	&& \left({\alpha_s\over 4\pi}\right)^3
		\left(
			{2857\over 54} C_A^3 + C^2_F N_f-
			{205\over 18} C_F C_A N_f -{1415\over 54} C_A^2 N_f +
			{11\over 9} C_F N_f^2 + {79\over 54} C_A N_f^2
		\right).
\end{eqnarray}

These results allow \cite{EfrTer90} the extraction of the anomaly equation
renormalization for a number of loops exceeding that of $\gamma_j$ by 1. For
the leading three-loop contribution, this coincides with the calculation of
Anselm and Johansen \cite{AnsJoh}, while the four-loop correction require a
one-loop finite correction to the gluon matrix element of the topological
current \cite{Zakharov}. As a result, the four-loop correction takes the
form
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{renanom}
Z_j =
-\left({\alpha_s\over 4\pi}\right)^3 6 C_F N_f^2 +
 \left({\alpha_s\over 4\pi}\right)^4
	\left(-{214\over 3}C_A + {4\over 3} N_F + 18 C_F
	\right)C_F N_f.
\end{eqnarray}

Joan on Her Small-Town Past, Passion for Charity, and the Advice She got From Lisa Rinna
by Zohair Khan
Growing up in a small Canadian prairie town of Wilcox, Saskatchewan didn't stop Joan from dreaming of a big city life. Elegant and composed, she first made her mark as a model, eventually adding television host, producer, writer and humanitarian to her resume.
Even with her professional accomplishments, Joan is probably best known as the wife of Don Walker, CEO of Magna International, one of the richest men in Canada, which makes Joan a true power player in Toronto's social scene. Though many in her position would be content with life as a just a housewife, Joan has dedicated her adult life to giving back.
You're used to conducting interviews (with your YouTube series Red Carpet Diary), but how different does it feel now that you're on the other side of the mic?
When you do a show like Red Carpet Diary, some of it really is about me too. I prepare the questions, I do my research, I need to be on – so I've translated that to be on [The Real Housewives], because it's the same thing. I need to be on at all times.
Were you as in control when you were filming for The Real Housewives of Toronto?
I think some of the best scenes are when you don't hold back, and when you kind of forget that the cameras are there, I think that's when real life shines through.
Are you nervous at all about how you're being portrayed?
I wouldn't say nervous… the cameras are not with you 24/7 so they don't show every single aspect of your life. I'm going into this with a very full life, and this show does not define me – it's just one aspect of my life. I think my life is fuller than what's shown on the show, and somehow I'd like to get that message across at some point.
You've been celebrated in your personal life for your charity work [Joan was awarded a Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal!]. Does the show touch on your philanthropy?
We touch on [some of] the charity work that I do. That is a huge aspect of my life. It's really important for me to be a leader and an example [to show that] you can give back. It doesn't matter if you have money, [it's about] doing charitable acts, and showing leadership. [My family looks] at it globally and we support World Vision as much as we can.
We sponsor 8 boys in Cambodia. We met them and their parents or guardians today at an Urban Hub in Phnom Penh. They were all such bright, curious and interested boys!! Such an honour and blessing to have this experience!
A post shared by Joan Kelley Walker (@joankww) on Jun 24, 2016 at 8:01am PDT
It's clear that giving back is important to you – do you think any of that has to do with your small town background and how you've found yourself in a very blessed position in your life now?
Absolutely. I grew up in a very, very small town, and the beauty of small towns is that you cannot pretend to be someone that you're not. [Small town] people are transparent. Everybody knows everybody, so people always tell the truth about their lives, and people are honest. You get to know people that maybe in a big city you wouldn't have as much in common with. You're friends with people because they're in the community and you learn to appreciate people for who they are and not what they have – and that's something really beautiful.
And now you have the opportunity to be on this show and showcase where you're coming from
Well I don't know, because I haven't seen [the full season], but what's coming through for me on the show is all this…stuff. Like all [my] properties and things like that. People keep asking me interview questions like 'who's your favourite designer?' But for me, life is about experiences, and that's more important to me. This show was a gift, it was an opportunity that came along for a really interesting life experience, and that's what it is.
Are you someone who would be just as happy without all the glitz and glamour?
It's funny because in one of the scenes they ask me if I'm a diva, and yeah, probably, in some sense I am a diva, but I'm also very grounded. Some people accuse me of being too serious, but I'm assessing situations. Once I'm comfortable, then I'm a lot more fun-loving and open.
Are you nervous at all about watching this season back?
Umm, yes and no. I'm not [really] nervous. I was there, I know what to expect, the only variable is that I don't know which shots made it in, and which shots didn't.
Well your life in Muskoka is getting a lot of camera time. Are you a local celebrity there now because of your dock party?
You know what, there's a lot of local celebrities there. I think I fall a little short on that scale. People do a lot of socializing in Muskoka and our party is just one highlight of the summer.
It is such a superstar destination now, have you ever crossed paths with some of your celebrity neighbours?
I've met Lisa Rinna a couple of times up there! I don't know her well, but we do have mutual friends.
Did you ask Lisa Rinna for any advice about being a housewife?
I only had Harry [Hamlin]'s phone number for some reason, so I texted him and said 'tell Lisa they finally announced who The Real Housewives of Toronto are, and I'm on the show' and then she responded with 'just don't read your Twitter!' She said congratulations, have fun, just don't take it too seriously, and don't read the negative.
It must be so nice to have that perspective from someone who's done this and has gone through the same experience.
Hopefully next summer I'll be able to see her and actually have a good long chat about it.
You mentioned social media – are you ready for the response you'll receive there?
Okay, I am so bad at social media! All I do is check emails because I don't really get it all yet.
How was your relationship with the other women before you went into the show?
Jana, Grego and I have been good friends for a long time, and this show has deepened that relationship, and I'm so thankful for that. Ann, I had been hearing about for years through our mutual friend Johnathan. Roxy I met once in Miami briefly, so I didn't really know her at all. Kara, I had never met before and I hadn't heard anything about her – and I can honestly say I still don't really know Kara.
What else can viewers expect from you this season?
I think people will get to know me in one very specific way. Over the course of this season, the layers will peel off, and it's much closer to the actual me at the end of the season, and that's really important. I was kind of hoping that people would see [exactly] who I am, but you know, the world is just getting to know each of us. So it's a good starting point. I'm being pigeonholed as a certain type of person, and it's certainly not exactly who I am. So I'll be happy once more is revealed and people can see that I have a big heart, that I am a kind person, that I try to give back, and that I'm a mom with a lot of responsibilities. I don't want people to think that all I do is throw parties and go to a lot of lunches and dinners.

Q: Scenekit PhysicEngine follow rolling ball I want to follow a rotating sphere in Apple's SceneKit. I've added an LookAt Constraint to the camera and as the sphere falls down the cam aleays points to it but if the sphere rolls away the camera stays at its current position.
I want the cam to follow this sphere like in a third persond shooter with a predefined distance to it. If I make the cam a childNode of the sphere the cam "orbits" around it as the ball is rolling.
Any ideas how I can follow the ball with the cam?

A: It's pretty simple. You just need to change the camera node's position at each frame to the ball's presentationNode plus an offset to avoid being inside of it.
I'm not too familiar with Swift but the code would look something like this:
func renderer(aRenderer: SCNSceneRenderer, didSimulatePhysicsAtTime time: NSTimeInterval){
    var ballP = ballNode.presentationNode.position
    // Offset the camera up and on X:
    var cameraP = SCNVector3(x: ballP.x+5, y: ballP.y+10, z: ballP.z)
    cameraNode.position = cameraP
}

The European Union's structural weakness in foreign policy making, and the emphasis on soft power in promoting norms, contribute significantly to close cooperation with civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).The EU provides core funding to hundreds of NGOs and receives legitimacy, information, and analysis from them. In return, this interdependence allows NGOs to expand their impact in many areas, including foreign policy.
This study analyses the relationship between NGOs and EU decision-making in the foreign policy realm, particularly in the context of the Arab-Israel conflict. By examining EU documents on key issues, such as Jerusalem, settlements, Israeli-Arab citizens, and guidelines for cooperation with Israeli institutions, the article highlights the direct impact of selected NGOs. We argue that the close and mutual NGO-EU dependency has significant political and theoretical ramifications.


Having a spectacular landscape, the city of Uricani, Hunedoara, offers to the tourists many opportunities for rest, relaxation and sports (as much in summer as in winter) through the conception of equipment and touristic development of this area which has been enriched once the construction of the road connecting it to the Baile Herculane station was opened. We can't offer all the information in this guide, but we invite you to visit this beautiful area, to discover the touristic resources and to enjoy the clean mountain air. Have a beautiful vacation!
Due to its positioning in the Southern Carpathians, the city of Uricani is dominated by the imposing peaks of Retezat and Vâlcan mountains and it is situated in the south-west part of Petroşani Depression on the West Jiu River, at a 650-725 meters altitude, in Hunedoara department. The city occupies a very important place in the Jiu Valley landscape because it is the city with the largest administrative surface in Romania. Being located at 29 km from Petroşani and 125 km from Deva, the access it's made through the national road 66A (road that will connect the area with Herculane Station).
heavy precipitations with an annual medium of 900 mm – 1000 mm.
the protected fauna is represented by 19 species (the bear, the wolf, the fox, the boar, the chamois, the wildcat, the deer, the squirrel, the common rabbit, the tree marten, the otter, the badger, the stoat, the yellow-necked mouse); the pride of Retezat mountain is represented by the population of chamois.
other animals/ rare birds protected by law are the lynx, the golden eagle (the strongest bird of prey), the western capercaille.

Excess Policy Triggered Even Though Underlying Insurers Paid Less Than Their Policy Limits
Applying Virginia law, a federal district court has dismissed an excess insurer's complaint for a declaratory judgment that, by settling with underlying carriers for less than their policy limits, the policyholder had not complied with the excess policy's requirement to exhaust underlying insurance. Maximus, Inc. v. Twin City Fire Ins. Co., No. 11-cv-31231, (E.D. Va. Mar. 12, 2012). The court distinguished cases reaching the opposite conclusion principally on the basis that the policies at issue in such cases specified that payment of the underlying limits had to be by the underlying insurers.
The excess policy in question provided that it "shall apply only after all applicable Underlying Insurance with respect to an Insurance Product has been exhausted by actual payment under such Underlying Insurance, and shall only pay excess of any retention or deductible amounts provided in the Primary Policy and other exhausted Underlying Insurance." The policyholder settled certain claims and sought coverage from its insurance carriers, and settled with the primary carrier and first two excess carriers. The third excess carrier disclaimed coverage. In subsequent coverage litigation, the third excess carrier filed a counterclaim for declaratory relief on the exhaustion issue, but the court granted the policyholder's motion to dismiss.
The court found that the applicable policy term "actual payment" was ambiguous under Virginia law, citing for that proposition Zeig v. Massachussets Bonding & Insurance Co., 23 F.2d 665 (2d Cir. 1928). The court distinguished several contrary authorities cited by the carrier on the basis that several such cases—including Comerica Inc. v. Zurich American Insurance Co., 498 F. Supp. 2d 1019, 1032 (E.D. Mich. 2007), Great American Insurance Co. v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corp., No. 06C4554, 2010 U.S. Dist. Lexis 61553 (N.D. Ill. June 22, 2010), Citigroup Inc. v. Federal Insurance Co., 649 F.3d 367 (5th Cir. 2011), and Qualcomm, Inc. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, London, 73 Cal. Rptr. 3d 770, 778 (Cal. Ct. App. 2008)—interpreted exhaustion provisions that specified that the underlying insurers had to pay the full underlying limits. The court stated that it did not need to follow the sole case relied upon by the carrier that applied materially identical policy language because that case—JP Morgan Chase & Co. v. Indian Harbor Insurance Co., 930 N.Y.S.2d 175 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. May 26, 2011)—applied Illinois rather than Virginia law.
The court cited a case applying Virginia law—The Mills, Ltd. v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., 2010 Del. Super. Lexis 563 (Del. Super. Ct. Nov. 5, 2010)—which had held for a policyholder on the exhaustion question in similar circumstances. The court elected to follow that precedent, holding that the exhaustion provision was ambiguous. And, accordingly, the court granted the insured's motion to dismiss the carrier's counterclaim.

I'm new at c++ and i don't know may how to propertly declare and implement classes and how to include in the main program. Please help me!
I have searched lot of time throught the internet but i didn't find anything that worked to me.
Thanks a lot to everyone!

About 40 people attended the launch of a No New Coal campaign by Safe Climate Perth on October 10. The launch took place as part of the 350.org "global work party" — an international day of action involving more than 7000 events around the world.
As part of the campaign, activists aim to get 10,000 signatures in 10 weeks on a petition opposing new coal developments in Western Australian.
There are three new coal-fired power stations approved by the state government. Two additional power stations are being refurbished by the government-owned Verve energy. These had previously been closed down because they were too polluting.
There is also a threat of further new coal mines being approved, including one at popular tourist region Margaret River. The state government is also considering a highly polluting coal-to-urea plant near Collie.
The petition calls for renewable energy developments instead of these coal projects. Safe Climate says greenhouse gas emissions of current and planned gas projects in north-west WA dwarf emissions from coal in WA. This shows renewable energy needs to replace all fossil fuels.
Safe Climate is organising 10 actions in 10 weeks as part of its campaign. The first action was the launch. The second action was to get letters published in commercial newspapers in the first week. At least seven letters were published in The West Australian.
More actions will be announced in coming weeks. The campaign will come together in a rally around human rights day in December.

Q: Pandas dataframe date not able to convert to datetime format I am trying to convert INSERTEDDT column to datetime format
Tried Below but didn't work :
df["INSERTEDDT"]= pd.to_datetime(df["INSERTEDDT"])
df['INSERTEDDT']= pd.to_datetime(df['INSERTEDDT'])
df['INSERTEDDT'] = pd.to_datetime(df['INSERTEDDT'], errors='coerce')

Note: Type of INSERTEDDT is object
>Error:
ParserError: Unknown string format: 08-FEB-19 10.13.52.081105000 AM

A: Try with the below format:
'%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S.%f %p'

df["INSERTEDDT"]= pd.to_datetime(df["INSERTEDDT"],format='%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S.%f %p')

Example with the string in your error message:
s = "08-FEB-19 10.13.52.081105000 PM"
s1 = "08-FEB-19 10.13.52.081105000 AM"
ser = pd.Series([s,s1])
print(pd.to_datetime(ser,format='%d-%b-%y %I.%M.%S.%f %p' ))
