Q: Find subset of collection of sets whose intersection has minimum average value Let $a_1,\ldots,a_n>0$, and let $S_1,\ldots,S_d\subset\{1,\ldots,n\}$ (all non-empty).
For any $I\subseteq\{1,\ldots,d\}$, define $S(I)=\bigcap_{i\in I} S_i$.
Given some $1\leq s < d$, consider the problem
$$
\mathop{\mathrm{minimize}}_{I\subset\{1,\ldots,d\}:\,1\leq|I|\leq s} \frac{\sum_{j\in S(I)} a_j}{\left|S(I)\right|},
$$
where $\left|S(I)\right|$ is the cardinality of $S(I)$, i.e., $\frac{\sum_{j\in S(I)} a_j}{\left|S(I)\right|}$ is simply the average of the $a_j$ which are indexed by $j\in S(I)$ (we let $\frac{0}{0}=\infty$, i.e., $I$ such that $S(I)=\emptyset$ are not allowed, but if it makes things simpler we can assume that never happens).
Does this look familiar? I highly doubt there is a computationally tractable solution (as a function of both $n$ and $d$), but perhaps an approximation/convex relaxation? Seems like it could be related to some normalized weighted cut problem, but I don't see a straightforward exact equivalence.
This problem occurs as a sub-subroutine in a problem I'm trying to solve, and there may be further conditions I can squeeze out to make things simpler -- such as upper bounds on $a_j$, or on $|S_i|$, etc. If there are any conditions under which the problem is easier, please do tell.
Thanks.
EDIT:
So it's an integer program with a linear fractional objective. Let $b_1,\ldots,b_d\in\{0,1\}^n$ be indicator vectors for the sets $S_1,\ldots,S_d$. Then the problem is I think equivalent to
\begin{align}
\mathop{\mathrm{minimize}}_{I\in\{0,1\}^d,x\in\{0,1\}^n} & \frac{a^Tx}{\mathbf{1}^Tx}&\\
\text{subject to}\;\;\; & 1\leq \mathbf{1}^TI\leq s &\\
& x_i\geq \left(\sum_{j=1}^d 1-(1-b_{ji})I_j\right)-d+1 &\forall i=1,\ldots,n\\
& x_i\leq 1-(1-b_{ji})I_j & \forall i=1,\ldots,n;\; j=1,\ldots,d
\end{align}
where the last two lines encode the constraint $x_i=\prod_{j:\,I_j=1} b_{ji}$.

Trump Recieves Glowing Endorsement from the North Korean Dictatorship
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK, is better known to most people as North Korea. The country has been causing problems for the United States and neighboring nations for a very long time. It was almost exactly 60 years ago that the Korean War ended. This was a war fought to stop the North Korean Stalinist regime from taking over South Korea. Although North Korea was not totally defeated, a permanent cease-fire was put into place by President Eisenhower. This created a demilitarized zone, or DMZ, between the countries where tensions are almost constantly high. The United States even maintains a troop presence in South Korea and along the DMZ.
The leader of North Korea has become an infamous figure around the world. The Stalinist country has been ruled by a monarchy of dictators where the mantle of leadership is passed from father to son. The leaders of the country are described to the people as being almost supernatural and godlike. The current leader is Kim Jong Un. He was educated in Western schools but rules just like his predecessors. This means he maintains a brutal dictatorship where the country suffers while he makes grand declarations from a massive compound. North Korea is a hellish place to live. The people are totally isolated from the outside world. The country relies on foreign aid to prevent mass starvation. Kim Jong Un even has people he perceives as dissidents killed or imprisoned in work camps for decades.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has actually spoken out about North Korea and the larger Asian region. He stated in an interview that he did not see a reason to prevent countries like South Korea and Japan from developing stockpiles of nuclear weapons. This goes directly against the United States nonproliferation policy that has been in place for decades. It also goes against the worldwide goal of preventing new nuclear weapons from being developed by countries. Trump seemed to take an isolationist and hands-off approach to Asia and the broader surrounding regions of the world.
This prompted the publication of an editorial in the state-run online media outlet DPRK Today in North Korea. The editorial was written by the ruling regime and likely approved directly by Kim Jong Un himself. The editorial makes it very clear that Stalinist North Korea believes Donald Trump would be a wise choice for president. The country and Kim Jong Un basically just endorsed Donald Trump for president of the United States. The article goes on to insult Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. It is clear that North Korean officials believe a Trump presidency would hurt South Korea and potentially open up new economic channels for the Stalinist dictatorship.
Trump has actually made a statement that he would change some United States policies towards South Korea. He has hinted that he would like to see less involvement with the county. Trump has described bizarre policies on imports and exports that would likely start a trade war with Asia. He has even declared that he would like to charge South Korea money. Those moves would actually weaken South Korea and change the decades of goodwill the country has had with the United States.
The endorsement from North Korea is just the latest in a long string of bad actors who seem to love the idea of a Donald Trump presidency. Trump has garnered the fervent support of the Ku Klux Klan, white nationalists and neo-Nazi organizations around the country. He has received praise from the brutal dictator Vladimir Putin of Russia. Trump has not yet commented on the editorial from North Korea.

Comics DC Universe
Power Level: Street-level
Role: Character (Heroic)
Cinnamon is a DC Comics character who first appeared in her own 2003 mini-series. It was an obscure, but cool modern action thriller written by Jen van Meter.
This Cinnamon patterns herself after Kate Manser, the Cinnamon of the 1870s. Thus, you might want to read Manser's profile first.
The part of the biography that covers her El Ciclo miniseries was kept light, to avoid the worst S P O I L E R S. However, the rest spoils the balls-to-the-wall, amazing final arc to Rucka's Checkmate. Which was amazing.
Real Name: Cinnamon (last name unrevealed).
Other Aliases: Checkmate Rook Beta.
Marital Status: Unrevealed.
Known Relatives: Father (name unrevealed, deceased), Jeannie (mother, deceased).
Group Affiliation: None.
Base Of Operations: Mobile.
Height: 5'9" Weight: 140 lbs. Age: Early 30s.
Eyes: Light green Hair: Very red
Cinnamon II, like the historical Cinnamon, is a dead shot and a superior gunfighter. She is able to engage half-a-dozen armed men and prevail. She even has adopted the signature weapon of the original – a sharpened sheriff's star used as a heavy shuriken.
Cinnamon has lightning-fast reflexes, is steady under pressure and has a superior pain tolerance and physical constitution. She is also a competent brawler, and seems to have some level of martial arts training.
An experienced and capable mercenary and pistolera, she has extensive street contacts in northern Mexico (throughout the border area). She also has an excellent reputation among the persons exposed to her world. She is streetwise in both Spanish and English. Cinnamon deals especially well with other women in illegal professions, such as prostitutes.
Big irons on her hips
Her guns look like Colt M1873 Army Model .45s. They do not seem to be replicas, and may have been rebuilt and rechambered for a more modern caliber (such as .45 ACP) and a modern double action. Her friend Maurice, who is knowledgeable about guns, referred to them as "antiques". But it may have been a figure of speech.
She will switch to the sharpened badges if gunshots are likely to have dangerous consequences, such as attracting cops.
Cinnamon is a fast draw champ. She can reliably get the drop on most opponents while her pistol is holstered and her enemy has a gun already pointed toward her. Her Checkmate appearances imply that she's just as fast when it comes to reloading.
In their Majesties' last chance service
(The following section includes BIG S P O I L E R S)
Cinnamon is one of the four Rooks. These are Checkmate's last-resort weapons, used in cases where it is necessary to gamble on the survival of the planet. Thankfully, the Rooks have only been deployed once.
The Rooks follow Checkmate's all-important Rule of Two, where each superhuman operative is matched by a human person.
"Command bunker Baker. Locks are free. The Rooks are active."
In this specific case, Rook Alpha (Tyson Sykes a.k.a. Gravedigger) and Rook Beta (Cinnamon) are the humans. Gamma (Sebastian Faust, a mage) and Delta (an upgraded J.A.K.E., a.k.a. the G.I. Robot) are the superhumans.
As a Checkmate agent, Cinnamon is provided with much more powerful firearms, presumably from Checkmate's arsenal :
.50 BMG Windrunner M98 Tactical Takedown Rifle. A 34 lbs. anti-materiel rifle. Cinnamon uses it to support the other Rooks, usually by firing from a helicopter a short distance behind the others. Apparently there's a large store of pre-loaded magazines for her to go through (and perhaps even spare barrels – she was chain-shooting like crazy.) Cinnamon kept carrying the rifle just in case after moving indoors, though at that point she can only bring one mag.
.454 Casull Taurus Raging Bull. This four pounds revolver has a blued finish (meaning it's black – don't ask). It fires an enormously potent cartridge. She is issued with custom-made, high-end armour-piercing bullets that can remain lethal for a bit after punching through a thick stone wall. Cinnamon carries a lot of ammo for this hand cannon – maybe five speed-loaders and a pair of bandoleers under her duster.
One would hope she's also equipped with selective in-ear noise filters to deal with the report of her own weapons and that of her colleagues.
The apocritic, part 1
A big part of what makes the Rooks special is being issued on deployment a dose of apocritic. This is a solution containing engineered alien D.N.A. from Starro the Conqueror. If all goes well, and after inducing the vomiting of some alien goo, the apocritic creates a powerful telepathic network between the Rooks. This allows them to isntantly share all perceptions, thoughts and reflexes.
This makes the operative extraordinarily efficient in the field.
The G.I. Robot is not a full part of the apocritic-induced teep network, since obviously it's not organic. It uses the brain nacelle that used to carry Max Lord's encephalon, though. That is sufficient for it to use some apocritic fluid to join the network as a passive participant – but not for a DNA infection to go very far.
The G.I. Robot can share its perceptions over the network, but still must communicate verbally (and receive its orders verbally).
J.A.K.E. monitors the teep network. He has special sensors constantly scanning the progress of the DNA infection within the body of the other Rooks. Past a certain threshold, the mental link gets too strong and starts summoning Starro. One assumes that the Conqueror then immediately takes over the infected person.
J.A.K.E. will terminate the Rook before such a level is reached. This means that the Rooks's life expectancy is counted in minutes after they inject the apocritic. An antidote is available for detox if the mission is completed before the infection gets too severe.
Apparently, despite all the precautions, there is a clear risk that Starro will be contacted whenever somebody is under the apocritic's effects.
All perceptions and thoughts are shared over the network. The gestalt gains a composite view of the situation through six pair of eyes. This makes things much crisper and with a much better sense of depth that is available through human perceptions. Thanks to the increased mental bandwidth and scale efficiencies, reactions are radically faster than normal and far more precise.
Apparently the Rooks under the effects of the apocritic enjoy a much-extended working memory. Perhaps this is in imitation of the space aliens whom DNA they use. Thus, they are able to retain and share a perfectly clear perception of something for about 10 to 15 seconds. By contrast, a normal human brain will encode it into abstract patterns within 2-3 seconds.
Apparently pain is shared among the members. For instance the organics on the team winced when the G.I. Robot took some solid hits. How it works is unrevealed.
Deeper shade of soul ?
While it's never mentioned in the story, there is a possibility Cinnamon II has a sliver of the soul of Chay-Ara (who was reincarnated as the first Cinnamon). Given the chaotic way the soul of Chay-Ara made its way into the mind of Kendra Saunders, all possibilities should be considered.
That would in fact make a certain sense in the context of the stories.
Cinnamon was raised by a mother with a deep interest in the legends of the American Old West. She told her daughter many such stories while she was a little girl. Cinnamon's mum would have named her child Wyatt had he been a boy. She hesitated between two famous women of the Old West if she turned out to be a girl – Annie Oakley or the avenger Cinnamon.
Cinnamon's mother before her daughter was eight. As to Cinnamon's father, he was a US Marshall. He was shot during a bank heist by a group of masked criminals, a few years after the death of his wife.
La venganza de la huérfana
From then on Cinnamon was wracked by nightmares about the brutal incident. She dedicated herself to vengeance, honing her markswomanship. Then she stalked those criminals who were at the heist.
At one point she found one of the seven killers. This man, Jason Samuels, was now middle-aged and a father. Bidding farewell to his daughter Marisol, Samuels accepted Cinnamon's silent challenge and the pistol she handed to him. He was slain in the duel.
Eventually, Cinnamon killed all seven murderers.
Cinnamon then became reputed as a "freelance peacekeeper". Various parties hired her services as a one-woman private police force. Typical jobs included protecting a bar, riding shotgun along shipments of goods of questionable legality, etc. Her professionalism and excellent results got Cinnamon a nearly constant stream of odd jobs.
El ciclo, parte uno
In 2003, Cinnamon heard that a hostile girl was looking for her. She soon deduced that it was Marisol "Mace" Samuels, the daughter of Jason Samuels. Accepting her destiny as always, Cinnamon travelled to LA to confront her.
Preferring to travel with her revolvers and out of sight of the law, she got a free ride from a coyote . That was in exchange for preventing any trouble from his clients.
The coyote intended to double-cross her, and was in the habit of selling his customers to slavers. But Cinnamon foiled the plot and saved the immigrants. This earned her a free ride to LA from an American cousin of one of the men.
El ciclo, parte dos
Once there, using local contacts, (chiefly Maurice, a former heavy who had reinvested his illegal gains into a strip club), she located Samuels. The girl was now a hardcore, illegally armed young woman running a squat serving as a less-than-legal shelter for street kids. Cinnamon simply waited for her outside the building.
One of Mace's protégés, a runaway named Helen, was the daughter of a billionaire. Desperate to find her, Helen's father eventually hired criminals. He hoped that their knowledge of the streets would enable them to find his daughter.
They made their way toward Mace. The incident started degenerating until Cinnamon drew her guns and chased the thugs away. She then challenged Mace to a duel at midnight. Then, things we won't want to spoil for you about happened.
El viaje extraño de la pistolera
During the Infinite Crisis, in 2006, massive prison breakouts were orchestrated worldwide. The goal was to overwhelm any heroic opposition. At that point Cinnamon was in Honduras, not far from Tegucigalpa. She responded to the breakout at the San Pedro Sula penitentiary.
She was eventually overwhelmed and knocked out with a rock to the head. When happened next remains unknown, though it wasn't looking good.
During the Infinite Crisis, those opposing the onslaught of criminals and super-villains were connected via a mental network woven by the Martian Manhunter. The strange experience of being put in psychic contact with a global army of heroes via a space alien's mind likely was what led Cinnamon to be noticed by Checkmate.
Jaque mate por torre
Cinnamon was contacted to become one of the last-resort weapons used by Checkmate – one of the four Rooks. Cinnamon, with her muted death wish, likely accepted since she considered that the nearly suicidal role of a Rook would be a great way to go.
Given the tremendous danger involved, the Rooks were activated but once, in 2008. That was during Operation : Grassbeater, to foil a global Kobra plot. All Checkmate and even vaguely allied forces were engaged in other hot spots when the heart of the Kobra operation was discovered.
With her Checkmate hand cannon.
Checkmate was clawing at the bottom of the barrel for any personnel they could deploy. As a consequence, those agents who exposed the core of the conspiracy were but analysts and other desk jockeys. They were overwhelmed and killed by Kobra security.
Not having any other option and with speed being of the essence, Checkmate's Royals reluctantly authorised Rook activation. The extremely risky strike was a success. Checkmate then dealt with the mystically-mutated newborns that were to herald the Kali-Yuga.
Cinnamon styles herself very much like a cowgirl – hat, duster, boots, embroidered jeans, etc.. Like an archetypal cowboy, she travels with but her bedroll and one saddlebag.
She has an unusually pale skin. Despite her Old West clothing she looks very much like the archetypal Irish beauty. Her voice may not be as soft as Summer rain, though.
Cinnamon is a calm, smart, resourceful professional. She is generally in control and reserved, though she becomes friendly and laid-back with the people she trusts. She is a drifter, in an almost zen-like fashion. Cinnamon has no direction or special plan, letting the universe lead her where it will.
Due to her guilt, she accepts whatever fate throws at her, perhaps with a faint hope that she's going to die. She is attached to nothing, and has less than a half-dozen genuine friends.
Cinnamon is an outlaw (not that the police are a good thing in her world, of course) with a reputation as a killer. This reputation is not accurate. She will unhesitatingly kill in self-defense, especially against numerically superior opponents, but she prefers not to. Cinnamon has been known to let live even people who had shot her and inflicted a grazing wound.
El camino de la pistola
Still, she is a wanted murderer with a huge list of suspected crimes and felonies. She actively avoids the authorities and generally sticks to the peculiar, blood-soaked Northern Mexico frontier area.
Cinnamon's drive to seek justice is strong. But she will never explain it, stating that it's "just something [she does]" when embarking on a mission to save innocent people.
She sticks to the "bounty hunter with a heart of gold" Old West archetype. Yet she refuses to discuss it or to be considered a heroine or even a good person, due to her guilt over the bodies she left behind her.
She generally has patterned herself thoroughly after the historical Cinnamon, perhaps to honour her deceased mother. She wears a good approximation of her usual clothes, wields the same weapons, etc.
"Caton says you need a ride-along as far as Mexicali. Says you can pay 300."
Little girl: "They're already calling you their guardian angel."
Cinnamon: "Don't. That's not what I am."
"I'm not a bounty hunter. I'm an orphan." (kills one of the murderers)
Mace: "You fleeing the jurisdiction ?"
Cinnamon: "More like moving on."
Special operations co-pilot: "Ma'am, I'm…"
Cinnamon (curtly): "Name."
Co-pilot: "Blackhawk Ensign Neal Bailey, ma'am."
Cinnamon (coldly): "My horse is here when I get back, Neal Bailey… or you answer to me." (boards the helicopter ; Bailey stays behind holding the reins)

Effects of the apocritic
All the AVs and OVs of the Rooks are boosted by 2CSes while they share the alien DNA teep link, provided at least one of them can perceive the target of the action or the source of the attack.
All Rooks act at the highest Initiative rank among them, plus ten APs of Enhanced Initiative.
The mental link itself is presumably around 20 APs of Telepathy (Communication Only) given the puissance of Starro, plus full Leadership between the members.
It is possible that the Rooks can share the post-LDD RAPS of damage of any type among themselves.

For the past two years rent control has been one of the top legislative trends in the rental housing industry. While the industry has seen both victories and losses on this front, the fight against tenant-popularized rent control bills continues. Which cities are being targeted next? If you have properties in California, Illinois, or Providence, R.I., you'll want to look out for these rent control initiatives.
To recap – rent control (also known as rent stabilization) would allow local and/or state governments to control and regulate the rental amount you charge. While many states have legislation in place that ban rent control, some local governments have been able to bypass this via rent stabilization ordinances. Additionally, there have been several initiatives to remove these state-wide bans (although none have been successful so far).
Rent control is not a new idea. In recent times it's been popularized by multiple tenant's rights groups who believe it can help alleviate the rising rental rates in major metros. However, this is only a temporary solution to a much larger problem: a rental housing shortage.
Learn why most multifamily professionals oppose rent control.
If you've been following the ApplyConnect blog for a while, you'll know that California is in the midst of an all-out rent control war. After AB 1506 (BLOOM), a bill that would have repealed the Costa-Hawkins Act, was defeated in committee earlier this year, activists have doubled down on their efforts to put rent control on the 2018 ballot. Cities currently targeted are Glendale, Inglewood, Long Beach, Pasadena, Sacramento, and Santa Cruz. The majority of these groups in the above cities are still collecting signatures. None have officially made it to the ballot yet.
Rent Control Might Be Coming to Providence, R.I.
According to The Associated Press (AP), tenant activists are aiming to put a rent-control initiative on the fall 2018 ballot. During a protest against the eviction of an elderly couple, one activist stated that the Direct Action for Rights and Equality (DARE) organization in the area has started collecting signatures.
Since our last update, Washington State's HB 2583 died in committee after failing to meet the legislative cutoff date. The city council of Santa Ana, CA also decided to reject rent control measures. While these two victories are significant, it isn't over yet. Rent control legislation has proven to be a resilient trend within the housing industry and it will continue to spread. As rent control makes its steady crawl throughout the nation, have your Senator's and your Congressmen's contact information ready.

Q: OpenCV & Tensorflow - Detecting Objects and drawing boxes around them Hi so I have a model which I made using Tensorflow & Keras, It works flawlessly when I use it on an image which focuses in on the object.
Like... So:

But, now I'm trying to figure out the best way to take an image of lets say multiple of these objects like this and to detect and draw a box around them:

What i'm trying to achieve:

Currently my code consist of loading the model, and using it to predict a screenshot which focuses in on the object.
Here is my code:
from PIL import ImageGrab
import cv2
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

def grabScreen():
    # img = ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(1078,351,1477,748))
    img = ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(1,29,1255,793))
    img_np = np.array(img)
    frame = cv2.cvtColor(img_np, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    return frame

def analyze(frame):
    IMG_SIZE = 200
    img_array = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY)
    new_array = cv2.resize(img_array, (IMG_SIZE, IMG_SIZE))
    return new_array.reshape(-1, IMG_SIZE, IMG_SIZE, 1)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    model = tf.keras.models.load_model("v3.model")
    CATEGORIES = ["Tree", "Stump"]

    while True:
        frame = grabScreen()

        prediction = model.predict([analyze(frame)])
        print(CATEGORIES[int(prediction[0][0])])

        cv2.imshow("Frame", frame)

        if cv2.waitKey(1) == 27:
            break
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I have an idea of how to achieve what i'm trying to do, and that is to divide entire screenshot into parts and then using the model to predict on each part. But isn't this going to be very demanding on my laptop? Surely there has to be a better way to achieve this.
I appreciate every help :) Thanks!

Nearly 173 Crore vaccine doses provided to States/UTs
By Odisha Diary bureau On Feb 24, 2022
New Delhi : The Union Government is committed to accelerating the pace and expanding the scope of COVID-19 vaccination throughout the country. The nationwide COVID 19 vaccination started on 16th January 2021. The new phase of universalization of COVID-19 vaccination commenced from 21st June 2021.

6 Celebrity-Favorite Hotels for an Island Getaway
Bella Hadid, Naomi Watts, and even Prince Harry opt for these stunning accommodations when they want to soak up some sun
By Abby Feiner
Island getaways typically offer pristine beaches and luminous waters, but when A-list celebrities jet off for some tropical R&R, they often retreat to resorts that are just as beautiful as the surrounding natural landscape. Here we've rounded up the hotels that Prince Harry, Naomi Watts, Bella Hadid, and others turn to when they're in need of the ultimate beach vacation.
Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Dorado, Puerto Rico
Dorado Beach is home to two golf courses.

Once a plantation, this recently renovated resort stuns with amenities including ocean-view pools, multiple golf courses, and an 11-mile nature trail. The five-acre spa, however, is what had Naomi Watts raving to Architectural Digest about the property. Set within a pineapple garden and other natural vegetation, Spa Botánico consists of open-air treehouse platforms set approximately 22 feet from the ground, as well as freestanding indoor and outdoor pavilions and a stunning pool partially made of crystal mosaic from Thailand. Guest rooms are designed to provide similar relaxation, with ocean views, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, and screened plantation shutters.
Rockhouse Hotel, Negril, Jamaica
The villas at Rockhouse appear to be built into the landscape.

Bella Hadid declared it was "really hard to not keep this place a secret," after a 2017 visit, and Emily Ratajkowski dubbed it "paradise" to her millions of Instagram followers one year later, but guests have no reason to worry about overcrowding at this serene, 34-room boutique hotel built within volcanic cliffs and greenery of Negril's West End. The property's design is fully inspired by the surrounding landscape, with waterfront villas and studio-style rooms made from timber, stone, and thatch. A green-globe certified hotel, Rockhouse's garden helps provide food for its three open-air restaurants, all of which offer breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.
Amanyara, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos

Though just 25 minutes from the airport, Amanyara is designed to feel as secluded and tranquil as a private island. To ensure privacy for guests, who have reportedly included Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner, timber-shingled villas have been placed along the coastline of the half-mile white-sand beach, with abundant vegetation offering additional coverage. Though visitors can choose to stay in villas or open-air timber-shingled pavilions, all are encouraged to unwind at the property's spa—which has its own 108-square-foot swimming pool—or stunning open-air circular bar, which boasts a soaring ceiling and panoramic ocean and pool views.

11 Minimalist Bedroom Design Tricks to Create a Calming Space

Frank Sinatra's Palm Springs–Area Home Is Hitting the Market—and Opening to the Public
All Hilary Swank wanted to do on her vacation here was "sit in the sun, read a good book, get taken care of, and be truly alone," she told Travel + Leisure. And while her beach read of choice remains a mystery, Jumby Bay undoubtedly checked all of her other boxes. Reachable only by private catamaran, this 300-acre private island resort offers guests the use of three pools, an oceanfront spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. The breathtaking sea and nature of the island sparked inspiration for the hotel's design aesthetic, which features an abundance of light and airy tones alongside nautical-inspired features and rattan furniture.
Round Hill, Montego Bay, Jamaica

Spread over 110 acres, Round Hill aims to offer all guests the royal treatment. In 2017, Price Harry and then-girlfriend Meghan Markle vacationed at the historic hotel, which was once a pineapple grove. Highlighting its natural surroundings and history, the property's spa is located in a restored 18th-century plantation house and includes a garden loft in the midst of the Jamaican rainforest. Accommodations, meanwhile, are a mix of Ralph Lauren–designed oceanfront rooms and privately owned, western-facing villas that feature wicker, mahogany, or bamboo furniture.
COMO Parrot Cay, Turks & Caicos

Located on its own private island that is home to Christie Brinkley's personal estate, this 1,000-acre property contains a mile-long beach, several dining options, a fitness center, and COMO Shambhala Retreat, which includes a yoga room, outdoor Jacuzzi garden, Pilates studio, Japanese baths, and more. While the accommodations—a variety of rooms, suites, houses, and a small rental pool of privately owned villas—vary in amenities, all are sun-drenched and use teak and white furnishings to complement the stunning natural surroundings.

After reader Heather Mack wrote to us, YES! illustrator Sarah Lazarovic changed the online version of her Small Works feature from the Mental Health Issue to remove a reference to weight loss. The following excerpt of their exchanges over many days explains why.
Heather: As an eating disorder survivor, I was decimated by page 63 of the Mental Health issue, of all places. Your content lulled me into safety and then gutted me with anti-fat bias right at the end. I would never have expected that from your team, which seems so woke.
At the very least, I urge you to educate yourselves so you can avoid perpetuating pain among your readers. You could start by reading anything by Your Fat Friend. You could go further by apologizing publicly. You could start to rebuild my trust by inviting a piece from a fat author who writes on the issue of progressive allies who believe themselves to be woke and how they can inadvertently contribute to body terrorism (Sonya Renee Taylor's The Body Is Not an Apology comes to mind) and how they can do better.
Sarah: Thank you so very much for writing. It sort of gobsmacked me because it was all so obvious and yet it had not crossed my mind at all that my cartoon could be perceived this way. I am a student of behavioral science so I often think about biases I may have and not be aware of … and bam! All to say I really appreciate you calling in and not calling out, and being so forthcoming with your advice (I've just spent a half hour on Your Fat Friend, and it's fantastic).
I am so sorry for any pain it caused, and I want you to know that it has had a meaningful impact on how I'll communicate going forward! I'm hoping to change the digital version of the cartoon shortly. I'm always happy to chat if you like. Again, thank you so much for the generous feedback.
Heather: I appreciate your response. I'm relieved to know the online version will be changed. Part of the reason I took that particular pane so hard was because I was so taken with your comic.
I would love to hear how the essays from Your Fat Friend are landing for you. For me, it was the critical framework on weight and shape stigma that led me to queer feminism, and together that eventually led me to the anti-racism and decolonizing work I do today. I credit the work of Sonya Renee Taylor with particularly helping illuminate the anti-racism and decolonizing connections to me.
Also, I have blind spots, too. I got all worked up last week when someone took issue with Brené Brown's work (which has been deeply meaningful to me) and noted that it has some major blind spots. I got super defensive and have spent the last week trying to embrace curiosity and learn about where the person was coming from, and it's been damn hard. So, thanks for showing me what it looks like to welcome the opportunity to see where you tripped up and to show up for it in a real way. You're making it easier for me to do the same next time I run smack into a blind spot while I'm pouring my heart into anti-oppression work, too.
Sarah: The essay from YFF that really struck a chord is this one — "I'm body positive as long as you're not obese." Which is funny because I'm actually a few chapters into Roxanne Gay's Hunger, where she talks about NOT wanting to lose weight. So in some ways this should have registered more, but I think I just never really thought about all this. My self-image as an open, body-positive person actually precluded me from seeing that I was thoughtlessly using a rote and hurtful metaphor.
Thanks for the Sonya Renee Taylor recommendation. I thought it was beautiful, and not just because I can get behind anything that involves loaves of bread.
Heather: Yes to the awesome update to the caption, to generative conflict that brought us further into our own healing and further into our anti-oppression work. Plus, now I feel like we are in this together, which is the exact opposite of that original feeling of isolation and disposability.
I recently visited a few dear friends of YES! in Montana. Wonderful women who have worked tirelessly on improving their communities, one injustice at a time, one garden at a time, one healthy body or child or family at a time. Warriors of the heart, each of them. You likely have many people like this in your life — you may be one.
These women have something else in common: They each inherited significant financial wealth as adults.
Let me pause here to fully acknowledge that this is a scenario that many of us dream of. A lifetime of financial security? No more 9-to-5? Sign me up! If only it were that simple.
Anyway, each of these women found herself with a pile of money she felt she didn't earn or "deserve," some of it accumulated by a previous generation's enterprises that were extractive or oppressive. They learned quickly that inheritance comes with baggage, assumptions, and expectations that distorted their identities and relationships within their beloved community. They even adopted the moniker "twisted sisters" because of how twisted up they felt in dealing with their inheritances.
Case in point: At one gathering while I was in Montana, someone casually referred to "the 1 percent" with the typical disdain that term can communicate. Later that evening, one of these twisted sisters confided that every mention of how the 1 percent oppresses the rest of us pushes her further into the shadows. As a new member of the 1 percent, she felt "othered" in the community to which she once gave so freely her other gifts of time, wicked smarts, and compassion. What a crime, I thought. Wasted gifts at a time when we all need to bring everything we've got to the table.
Luckily, these sisters found one another and together got untwisted. They now see clear, open channels for their many gifts — including money — to advance their values and visions of a better world.
We all have gifts to bring to our work building a better world. Some of these gifts are hard-earned through experience, trauma, or frugality — as Vicki Robin describes, natural wealth. Some are unearned by lottery or birth. All can be potent drivers of positive change.
My own gifts are the ability to draw a line from a vision to a plan, and to get people excited about making it happen. (I'm grateful every day that I can put my gifts to good use at YES!) Others have gifts of time, of caring for others, of money. I hope this issue helps you reflect on the many ways you are naturally wealthy and the best uses of that wealth.
P.S.: An easy way to put a little good money to work? Consider inspiring friends and family with a gift subscription to YES! Or become a monthly donor to YES! to keep the solutions stories coming.

Deonna Anderson is the 2018 Surdna Reporting Fellow for YES! Media. Previously, Deonna was an equitable cities fellow at Next City and an intern at The Marshall Project. Her personal career mission is to highlight solutions that people, organizations, and government agencies develop to fix problems related to inequity. Deonna grew up in Los Angeles and loves to listen to podcasts, cook new dishes, and do puzzles with her fiancé.
We believe in yes! In our current time, when so many sensational media stories make us seem powerless or feel hopeless, YES! brings a community and personal perspective to the issues of the day. It highlights solutions that breathe life into a more equitable, meaningful, and loving society.
From affordable housing solutions to indigenous leadership to climate justice, YES! articles cover a wide range of topics, authored by a diverse cast of voices to which we feel connected. The stories offer examples that carry the feeling of inspiration into action, showing us how we can support similar initiatives in our own community. We have shared stories, tips, and resources with our friends and family all over the country.
We believe in YES! so much that we joined the Founders' Circle. It's a wonderful opportunity to support the work and mission of YES! and to help deliver its work to more parts of our country. We hope that others are also inspired by the work of YES! and encourage you to join us in the Founders' Circle or to donate what you can to support this work building a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world.


WWF Legends – The Minimalist Posters.
Posted on August 13, 2012 by Big Red	in Geeky Booty, Sports Booty and tagged bamitsbernie, etsy shop, pop culture posters, sports entertainment, wwf legends, wwf legends minimalist posters, wwf posters.
I'm a huge sucker for all kinds of minimalist pop culture themed posters. There's something uniquely clinical and succinct about them, which is why I nearly had an aneurysm when I discovered these.
Most avid fans of 80′s and 90′s wrestling would attribute its success not only to the wrestlers' ability to entertain the crowd, but the spirit of the unique, well-branded characters compared to culture's current indistinguishable counterparts. The WWF Legends Minimalist Poster Series became a challenge to tap into this theory to its rawest form and create designs that evoke the trademark personalities of the golden era of wrestling entertainment.
Each poster features the simplest of visual elements that are iconic to the respective wrestler, as well as their signature finishing move. Aged element for vintage/retro feel to fit with the appropriate time reference, and finished off with my BAM moniker insignia.

Four Daughters Vineyard & Winery is now advising that all bottles of their current Sparkling Moscato be refrigerated and stored upright. A natural, secondary fermentation is occurring in some of the bottles which may cause increased pressure on the cork.
A secondary fermentation occurs when yeast has been reintroduced into the wine after the initial fermentation. Yeast is naturally occurring everywhere in our environment and while we do everything in our power to remove it from a finished wine, this does occur occasionally. Oftentimes in sparkling wine production, a secondary fermentation is desired and takes place within the wine bottle that the wine will be sold in. This is most commonly known as the méthode champenoise or "Champagne method" (after the region most noted for sparkling wine production). This secondary fermentation, also known as bottle fermentation, is often the process that makes the wine "bubbly" due to the containment of carbon dioxide which is normally released as a by-product in regular fermentation. In this instance, it was not intended, but it will not affect the wine's taste or quality or in any way.
This wine was made extremely delicately as to preserve the flavors of the grape, but by taking this approach for maximum taste and flavor, we're asking that our guests handle this wine with the same delicateness. If your bottle is currently cloudy, the wine is safe and the taste is the same, but fermentation is occurring. Refrigerating the wine will substantially slow down the process and stop the pressure being put on the cork.
If you have already encountered an issue with your Sparkling Moscato, please contact us at info@fourdaughtersvineyard.com so we can exchange the wine and offer our sincere apologies! Alternatively, if you are worried about storing it or would just like to exchange your bottle, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@fourdaughtersvineyard.com or visit us at the winery. Thank you for your understanding!


Cabinet Secretary for Tourism Fiona Hyslop officially opened the third Scottish Tourism Week today which aims to help boost Scotland's golf tourism to hit £300 million in value.
The only event of its kind in the world, Scottish Golf Tourism Week is taking place at Fairmont St Andrews and brings the world's leading golf buyers to Scotland for a week of familiarisation trips and one to one meetings with golf tourism businesses from across the country.
The result will be almost 4000 face-to-face meetings, with the potential to significantly increase the 220,000 golf tourists visiting Scotland annually.
A recent study highlighted the value of golf tourism to Scotland at £286 million per year, an increase from the 2007 figure of £220 million and on track to achieve the £300 million target by 2020 listed in Scotland's Golf Tourism Strategy, Driving Forward Together .
Fiona Hyslop MSP said: "I am delighted to formally launch Scottish Golf Tourism Week 2017. This event plays a key role in our drive to firmly establish Scotland as the world's leading golf destination.
"As a whole, the Scottish golf industry is worth more than £1.1 billion per year, supporting more than 20,000 jobs, with golf tourism contributing £286 million but even so, we know there is huge potential for growth.
Scotland's national tourism organisation, VisitScotland, describes Scottish Golf Tourism Week as a "game changer" for golf tourism businesses in Scotland.
Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland said; "Scottish Golf Tourism Week provides the perfect platform for international golf tour operators to get a taste of what Scotland, the Home of Golf has to offer and to encourage them to bring even more of their clients to experience the game in the country in which it was created.
"Golf tourism is a vital contributor to Scotland's visitor economy through strong regional spread of visitors and the fact that for every £1 a golfer spends on green fees, they will spend £5 elsewhere on accommodation, food, retail or entertainment.


In the latest installment of Cow-Calf Corner in OSU's Extension newsletter, Livestock Marketing Specialist Derrell Peel says the drought impact on cattle markets may have bottomed out.
Beef and cattle markets have recovered significantly from lows about a month ago. Demand improvement is reflected in higher Choice boxed beef price, up over $12.00/cwt in the past two weeks on the heels of stronger wholesale middle meat values. Fed cattle prices followed boxed beef higher providing feedlots some relief from record cattle feeding losses. Feeder cattle prices are also higher with the biggest improvement in lightweight feeders, up about $10/cwt from the lows one month ago. Heavy feeder prices, still under the specter of record corn prices, have recovered less and are up about $4.00/cwt from July lows.
Does this mean that the drought impacts are over? Almost certainly not, but it may mean that the drought impacts on markets have reached a maximum and may begin to improve. Of course, it depends on actual drought conditions which may or may not improve. The improvement in cattle markets indicates that at this point, most of the damage has been done to forage and hay production as well as the corn market, so most of the price impacts are already in the market. Continued drought impacts are reflected in both cow and feeder markets. Beef cow slaughter in the last four weeks is averaging 13.4 percent below the same period last year. However, last year was up over 20 percent from the year before. Comparing this year to 2010 is more indicative of the real situation. Beef cow slaughter the last four weeks is up 4 percent from the same period in 2010 and with a lower cow inventory, clearly indicates increased cow liquidation.
The Cattle on Feed report also indicates continued drought impacts. July placements were 90 percent of year ago levels but outside of that were the largest July placement level since 2006. The weight breakdown of July placements is also instructive. Year over year placements were the smallest for the lightest weight placements, with under-600 pound animals down 19 percent compared to the large placements a year ago in July. Nevertheless, the number of under-600 pound animals placed in July is also at the highest level since 2006 with the exception of last year. Both the beef cow slaughter and feedlot placements indicates that the 2012 drought is forcing cow liquidation and early movement of calves but not at the extreme levels of last year.
It would seem that cattle markets are in a position to stabilize and hold the price recovery of the past month. Additional improvement in boxed beef and fed cattle prices will depend on continued beef demand improvement for the remainder of the year. If fall moisture develops in areas where winter grazing is possible, calf and stocker prices will likely rise on short supplies. There will likely be smaller than average fall run of calves as many have already moved in several regions. Heavy feeder cattle will remain under the dark cloud of high corn prices with less potential for significant price improvement but little downside risk as well.

The Sandbox' LAND plots sold for more than $1.66 million
The Sandbox has completed the sales of its virtual land plots, raising more than $1.66 million in the past few weeks.
Players can purchase LAND plots to develop games and other attractions in the metaverse. LAND in The Sandbox is represented by NFTs that identify digital ownership. These LAND plots exist alongside many well-known IPs such as Warner Music Group, Ubisoft, the Walking Dead and more.
Purchasing LAND requires The Sandbox's native currency, $SAND. Its holders will get NFTs that verify their ownership, allowing players to go and develop their plots to make them more valuable.
Since November 22, The Sandbox has completed sales on two chunks of virtual land and two more LAND collections, in addition to selling 1,900 virtual parcels. The platform artificially limits the number of plots of land to protect user investments.
CEO Arthur Madrid and COO Sebastian Borget have been running The Sandbox for 10 years. Madrid said they are excited about making the game a web3 platform, aiming to make it a safe place to create and receive NFTs. In an interview, Borget said virtual land is the easiest way to understand web3.
"The Sandbox has an approach where we make the metaverse more concrete and more tangible than anywhere else in the world. We tie it to the sale of land and have this concept of a map," Borget said.
Sandbox's LAND parcel value
Blockchain Research Lab has recently analyzed the land market to determine the worth of The Sandbox's LAND parcels. After Facebook rebranded itself into Meta in October 2021, LAND saw a price increase. In January 2022, it cost around $12,000 per lot.
However, during the crypto crash in November 2022, LAND's price plummeted to around $2,000 to $2,200 per lot, although sales continued at a healthy pace. The analysis suggests that people were aware that LAND investments could pay off later.
In 2022, The Sandbox resold around 10,000 LAND parcels with an average return of 109 percent to resells. Less than half of the resales ended in a loss, with an average return of 15 percent. Around 64 percent of landowners only had one LAND parcel, while there was only two percent with more than 51 parcels.
Blockchain Research Lab's analysis shows that the number of active wallets has been increasing. Currently, average landowners have around eight parcels of LAND.
Partnership with OpenZeppelin to improve security
Last Thursday, The Sandbox announced a partnership with OpenZeppelin, the leading blockchain infrastructure security provider, to prevent attacks within the metaverse.
OpenZeppelin will be responsible for auditing smart contracts, monitoring vulnerabilities and detecting any potential threats to the metaverse.
"The pieces that make up a metaverse puzzle are intricate and extensive and there is a lot to keep an eye on," OpenZeppelin developer advocate Stephen Lloyd Webber said. "The practice of auditing has proven essential in deploying existing Web3 services."
Borget said working with OpenZeppelin would not only increase security in the present but also continue to pinpoint vulnerabilities as The Sandbox continues to develop. With over 4.3 million registered wallets, the platform has become a major player in Web3.
"OpenZeppelin's security services help build a reliable framework and reinforce trust in our ecosystem, a key factor in onboarding more newcomers to our platform and to Web3 as a whole," Borget said.

Rhonda as a girls' name is pronounced RON-dah. It is of Welsh origin, and the meaning of Rhonda is "good lance". Since the name only became popular in the 20th century, it also possibly derives from the name of the River Rhondda, meaning "noisy", in Wales. In America, there is a well-known Beach Boys's song, "Help Me, Rhonda!"

Book Review : The Wake Up by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Unrated| 323 pages | Lake Union | Contemporary | 12/5/2017
I don't think I would have stumbled upon The Wake Up if I hadn't been given the chance to review the audio. It caught my interest because it is published by Lake Union, an Amazon imprint that is marketed as "book club fiction" and because it's one of those books by an author who has written a bajillion books, yet I've never heard of her.
I'm sure most people will recognize Catherine Ryan Hyde as the author of the book that inspired the movement and movie, Pay It Forward. So every time the person in front of you pays your toll…she's why (unrelated, someone once paid for my lunch at my work cafeteria and I paid for the person behind me and they were totally freaked out, even after I explained it to them…btw cashier's must hate this, right ?)
Set in a small rural town in Northern California, The Wake Up tells the unconventional story of Aiden Delacorte, a mild-mannered middle-aged rancher who wakes up one morning with the ability to feel the emotions of the animals around him, which proves to be a challenge for a man who makes money off the pain of animals. This hyper-empathy sends his life spiraling in a new direction at the same time he opens his heart and home to his girlfriend, Gwen, and her two children.
The book follows Aiden as he tries to trace the source of his outstanding empathy. It leads him to therapy where he exams his childhood and the stepfather who saved him, Aiden uses these lessons to connect with Gwen's emotional distance and destructive young son, Milo, who is struggling to overcome the shadow of abuse
The Wake Up is steeped in family drama, love, redemption but still has a very light touch The great outdoors and the love of animals plays a big part in the healing process for the characters. To me, this book read like inspiration fiction and except for a bit of language, it's pretty clean I thought it was a great pallet cleanser with characters you could root for and moments that will warm your heart.
Moreover, I like to call this book a cure for toxic masculinity. I mean you have this archetype of a lone rancher and you think when he is plagued with emotions he would try to push it away–but instead, Aiden accepts it. He talks about his feelings and he even goes to therapy to help sort out his emotions. There is a scene where Milo and Aiden are driving home from a therapy appointment and they talk about what they are going through and I just wouldn't have expected to see that.
The book does try to reason out Aiden's empathy, but I like to think of it as a gentle dose of a magical element infused with a contemporary narrative. If you are looking for a positive story about family and starting over The Wake Up won't put you to sleep.

We recently completed and launched the first US owned and manufactured Offshore Wind Farm Vessel. The 125 KW vessel is a 1:100 prototype version of what we began construction on in October. The Phase l vessel currently under construction will be rated at 25MW and is scheduled for completion by January 2022. We believe the offshore Rimdrive system will change the industry while offering inexpensive reliable power systems to remote locations where not currently possible.

Q: how to crop images in android hi guys am working on an android application (A turbidity meter application) which captures light that is passing through a sample of water and measures the amount of light coming out of that water sample but i found out that i have to be able to crop the image it captures so as to get proper readings can someone help pliz. here is my line of code.so when i measure the amount of light coming out of clean water the values i get are high i.e 46(NTU) and yet for clean water the value has to be below 5(NTU) is the S.I unit .so i was told the algorithm was calculating the whole image instead of only calculating the region of interest which is the light region of the image.
PictureCallback callback = new PictureCallback() {
       @Override
       public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
           Log.i(TAG, "Saving a bitmap to file");

               if (OpenCVLoader.initDebug()) {

               Log.d("work", "work");

                  Bitmap picture = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
               Log.i("camera open", "n");

               imgToProcess=new Mat();

                  Utils.bitmapToMat(picture, imgToProcess);

                    Log.d("work", "work");

               Imgproc.cvtColor(imgToProcess, imgToProcess, Imgproc.COLOR_RGB2GRAY);

                t = Core.mean(imgToProcess).toString();

A: Here is part of the code that does the job in my app:
private void doCrop() {

        final ArrayList<CropOption> cropOptions = new ArrayList<CropOption>();

        Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
        intent.setType("image/*");

        List<ResolveInfo> list = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(
                intent, 0);

        int size = list.size();

        if (size == 0) {
            Toast.makeText(this, res.getString(R.string.no_crop_app),
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            return;
        } else {
            intent.setData(mImageCaptureUri);

            intent.putExtra("outputX", 256);
            intent.putExtra("outputY", 256);
            intent.putExtra("aspectX", 1);
            intent.putExtra("aspectY", 1);
            intent.putExtra("scale", true);
            intent.putExtra("return-data", true);

            if (size == 1) {
                Intent i = new Intent(intent);
                ResolveInfo res = list.get(0);

                i.setComponent(new ComponentName(res.activityInfo.packageName,

            } else {
                for (ResolveInfo res : list) {
                    final CropOption co = new CropOption();

                    co.title = getPackageManager().getApplicationLabel(

                    co.appIntent = new Intent(intent);

                    co.appIntent
                    .setComponent(new ComponentName(
                            res.activityInfo.packageName,
                                res.activityInfo.name));

                    cropOptions.add(co);
                }

Mark's areas of expertise include preventive veterinary medicine, epidemiology and control of infectious diseases of ruminant livestock, and veterinary public health, both in the UK and internationally, focussing particularly but not exclusively on vector-borne and parasitic disease.
He is a Board Member and Co-Director of the Food Security and Land Research Alliance among the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter and Rothamsted Research. A particularly important focus for the activity of the Alliance is the Rothamsted Research - North Wyke Farm Platform in Devon, a state of the art research facility for farm scale research on biophysical processes that influence agriculture and the environment, and a key node in the Global Farm Platform network.
Mark also leads the Food Security theme within the Cabot Institute. An major new initiative within this theme is the development of the Global Farm Platform for sustainable ruminant production, which is an international network supported by the Worldwide Universities Network and the Global Innovations Initiative. The Global Farm Platform was created to promote understanding of the role of grazing ruminant livestock production as a key component of global food security in a world challenged by population growth, climate change and ecosystem degradation. The ethos of this work is set out in the position paper 'Steps to Sustainable Livestock' and correspondence 'Intensive farming: When less means more on dairy farms' published recently in Nature.
Interfaces between One Health and Food Security research within and beyond the University of Bristol are shown diagrammatically below.

Q: setState override existing state I have the following function to set state:
const [study, setStudy] = useState(defaultState)

const setValue = (section, key, value) => {
  setStudy({...study, [section]: {...study[section], [key]: value}})
}

But for some reason it keeps overriding the existing state, what am I doing wrong?
I call the function like this:
setValue('company', 'name', 'test')
setValue('property', 'state', 'test2')
setValue('property', 'address', 'test3')

Structure of data:
const defaultState: StudyData = {
  client: {},
  company: {},
  property: {},
  study: {}
}

A: I think the problem is that the study value you destruct is still an old version (a memoized one). It is the same between all setValue calls and thus your first two setValue calls do essentially nothing. If this is what's happening to you, the best way to fix it would be to give a callback function to setStudy. Any function given to a setter will get the absolute latest version of the state as parameter. Try it like this:
setStudy((latestStudy) => {
    return {
        ...latestStudy,
        [section]: {...latestStudy[section], [key]: value}
    }
});

A: When dealing with multiple state-updating events, the standard behavior for React is to batch them. The state-updating method does not immediately update the state of the component, React just puts the update in queue to be processed later when event handling is complete. Changes are all flushed together at the end of the event and you don't see the intermediate state.
With batching, when the final set-state event executes, it has no recollection that the prevState has been updated (asynchrounous), which is why the final state appears to only reflect changes made by the last event.
Using a call-back function as the first argument for your setStudy method will  help you return the intermediate states and avoid the issue of batching. The updater function will loop through and shallowly merge all updated states with the previous component state. This ensures that we receive all state-updates and use all intermediate states before ultimately arriving at the final update.
  const setValue = (section, key, value) => {
    setStudy(study => {
      return {
        ...study,
        [section]: { ...study[section], [key]: value }
      };
    });
  };

In a deep hole with a Cottager?
It's well known that Stephen Pound MP is a Fulham FC fan (OK, stop laughing now), but he's shown just how much of a Cottager he is by tabling the following motion in Parliament.
That this House recognises the extraordinary achievement of Fulham Football Club in securing Premier League football for next season; and salutes manager Roy Hodgson and owner Mohamed Al Fayed while noting that survival and success can be achieved despite a near universal opinion to the contrary.
Now, putting aside how he is yet again up the arse of Fayed, it's one of the signatures on it that amused most. You see, it's Alan Meale, the Labour MP for Mansfield. Mansfield Town FC managed to get themselves relegated this season out fo the Football League.
What sort of message is Mr Meale trying to send to the football team that represents his consitutuency? Not very supportive is it when you place Mansfield's performance in context with the motion?
Of course, Mansfield is an old mining town I believe, which means they're used to being in deep holes. The question is whether Alan Meale is used to being inside a deep hole with a Cottager like Stephen Pound. Of course, the motion might really be about Brown, "noting that survival and success can be achieved despite a near universal opinion to the contrary", the problem is "Brown" just leads the way to even more innuedos (that's enough Ed!)
I know nothing of football, so I can't comment.
But I'm struck once again, looking at the image you've used for this post, by how apt is the saying 'Politics is showbiz for ugly people'...
16 May 2008, 14:55:00
and your point is, Dizzy?
To make cheap innuendos about the nick name of Fulham football club which it shares in common with the act of manlove in public lavatories? Would you like me to draw you a diagram or find some pictures on Google to explain?
Ted Foan said...
OK, Mr Dizzy, it's Friday and you might be getting less rigorous as you coast into the weekend but you missed the obvious link in the Pound metaphor to the fact that Fulham play at Craven Cottage.
Remember the theme from High Noon? "...you'll lie a coward, a craven coward, lying in your grave..."
I thank you...I'll get my coat.

Backstage Artists
Trilogy Records
Music for Film, TV & Advertising
Masquerade by Shy
TRCD201009
To kiss a girl and to never truly know who she is
To endure the greatest passion and desire
To pursue at any consequence
This is the mystery and allure behind
SHY is a new Canadian artist who discovered her passion for music when she was 10 years old singing at school concerts, in choirs and at family parties. She started writing songs in her late teens. As she matured, her cliché pop songs took a turn after discovering a love of history, particularly the 18th century, more broadly known as "The Period of Enlightenment" – how appropriate. After submitting her demos to a number of music companies, Backstage Music Publishing paired her with Acclaimed Hit Maker Seven Aurelius, producer for Jennifer Lopez, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Mariah Carey, Mary J Blige and many others. The end result is SHY's debut single "Masquerade". We are confident you will love this exciting new pop/dance recording by SHY — discover the mystery and allure behind MASQUERADE!!
SHY – UNMASKED INSPIRATIONS:
Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Teresa Teng, Webber, Tchaikovsky, KRS-One, Run-D.M.C. A Lover of yesterday's great artists for their originality and for planting the stepping stones, while breaking through the tough barriers at a time when it was not acceptable to do such things on stage or say certain things in their songs. These artists have opened the doors and raised the level and maintained the status of what a quality artist is. For the new modern artists, we only hope to be a "replica" of that type of quality and we aim to be as good as the artists from yesterday.
At 8 years old, Shy discovered a box of cassette tapes while living at her grandparents' house. Alone and considered a street kid by family, relatives and friends. Playing outside until the late hours of the night until she discovered music. "After school, I couldn't wait to go home and play these cassette tapes of Michael, Whitney and Madonna. With no real knowledge of how to sing or dance I did it anyway because it became my new best friend." Shy chose music over playing outside and eventually partying in her teens. Shy started writing at 11, and took singing as a professional mindset, she trained with one of Canada's great rockers, Ray Lyell who was famous in the 80's. In her bedroom singing and over training. Her parents never agreed that a music career was a great choice, and it is an expensive hobby, but Shy was a rebel and never listened to what they said and went about doing what she felt she loved doing. By the time junior high and high school came, she got in any talent show or choir to the next music class to the local Hip Hop groups that were underground and deep into the cultures of Real Hip Hop, Shy was the singer in underground mix tapes and performing at nightclubs in her teens. Break dancing was also in favour.
Shy's style in music stems from soul, R&B, and Pop, with a background in Opera training, a technique called Belcanto. A lover of deep heavy ballads such as Woman In Love, Love Story, Don't Cry Out Loud, Phantom of The Opera are just a few that she can cover up until now. "I love singing, writing, music all together, it's the purest connection I have with something that I still feel the same way about from the very first time I discovered it as a kid." Shy's voice stays in the roots of where she was inspired and has molded into what no artist should do, "sound like something your not but everything you are". A great story untold never dies out. July of 2010 while doing a photo shoot, the photographer said that he would enjoy Shy's track if she had someone along the lines of Will.i.am. To the great mystery, 2 weeks later she was aligned with Hit Maker Seven Aurelius. With the help and adoring support of Steve Thomson and Kevin Thomson for recognizing Shy who deserves this chance to work with the best! That was concluded, Masquerade track is born and this sassy pop dance track has the elaborateness of yesterday's mysterious Masquerade world, while Shy lives it by wearing a mask. "Masked in a kiss of fate." The direction in this young lady's soul is to be the best that you can be at every stage and while striving, create music from the heart, and help move music in a better direction. We are confident you will love this exciting new pop/dance recording by SHY – discover the mystery and allure behind MASQUERADE!

Kristin was recommended to us by a friend to help us buy our first house. She was absolutely wonderful. We went into the process knowing nothing and she said made the entire experience a lot easier. Kristen explained all of the paperwork, provided a timeline, and even recommended a home inspector and mortgage company (who we went with, because they gave us a better interest rate than our credit union). We had tons of questions which were answered promptly and thoroughly. I highly recommend Kristen for any real estate needs you may have.
