The understanding of lithium–oxygen coordination systems is important for making better lithium conductors as well as active materials for lithium ion batteries. Here, we report a systematic investigation on coordination environments in lithium coordination polymers (LCPs) through the syntheses and analyses of six new crystals composed of lithium ions and anthraquinone (aq) derivative anions, where the negative charges are distributed in π-conjugation systems. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to be (1) [Li2(23dcaq)(H2O)] in space group P21/c, (2) [Li(23dcaqH)] in P21/c, (3) [Li2(15dhaq)(H2O)2] in P21/c, (4) [Li2(14dhaq)(H2O)2] in Pnma, (5) [Li(14dhaqH)(H2O)] in P212121 and (6) [Li(14hnaq)(H2O)] in P212121 (23dcaq2− = 2,3-dicarboxy-aq, 14dhaq2− = 1,4-dihydroxy-aq, 15dhaq2− = 1,5-dihydroxy-aq and 14hnaq− = 1-hydroxy-4-nitro-aq). Through the comprehensive structure analysis of these materials as well as other LCPs, we found that when considering the longest C–O bond in the π-conjugation system of an anionic organic molecule and its coordination to a Li ion, there is a weak inverse relationship between the C–O and Li–O bond lengths. In addition, despite exhibiting optical band edges below 2 eV and 1D π-stacking connectivity, conductivity measurements on single crystals of 1–6 confirmed that they are all electronic insulators. We rationalize this finding on the basis of π-orbital delocalization, which is more restricted in the aq-based LCPs compared to known semiconducting hybrid materials.

India's Young and Restless
March 14, 2016 By Michael Kugelman
When we think about countries on the Indian subcontinent with destabilizing demographics, Pakistan comes to mind immediately. First, it's a country with a very young population. Almost two thirds of its nearly 200 million people are under 25, and the median age is about 22. Second, this youth cohort is highly susceptible to radicalization. Nearly every terrorist attack in Pakistan since 9/11 has been perpetrated by someone under 30. In recent years, the Wilson Center has focused on Pakistan's youth demographic challenges in detail. India, however, needs to be included in this conversation as well.
Though not as troubling as in Pakistan, there are very real concerns about youth bulge and unrest in India. "Nowhere can the pressures of the youth bulge be felt as profoundly," writes Somini Sengupta, a former New York Times bureau chief in New Delhi, for the Sunday Review. She continues:
Every month, some one million young Indians turn 18 – coming of age, looking for work, registering to vote, and making India home to the largest number of young, working-age people anywhere in the world.
Already, the number of Indians between the ages of 15 and 34 – 422 million – is roughly the same as the combined populations of the United States, Canada, and Britain.
Many children struggle to succeed in school. According to Sengupta, half of India's enrolled fifth graders can neither read from a second-grade textbook, nor subtract. Unsurprisingly, many young Indians also struggle to get jobs.
The frustrations of Indian youth have played out in the news in recent weeks. In the agricultural state of Haryana, young members of the Jat caste staged violent protests to demand caste-based quotas for government jobs. Jats are relatively well-off, but they claim that farming doesn't support them and that they can't find good jobs.
Additionally, on the New Delhi campus of the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University, students held angry (though peaceful) protests against the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with officials claiming they called for India to be broken into thousands of pieces.
India is a complicated place, and a country that young people in particular struggle to navigate and find their place in. Sengupta has just published a new book, The End of Karma: Hope and Fury Among India's Young, which chronicles the challenges of Indian youth today. She provides detailed portraits of several young people – including one young woman who becomes a Maoist rebel, and another who seeks to become a policewoman – and their alternating experiences of exhilaration and frustration.
The Wilson Center's Asia Program, along with the Environmental Change and Security Program, will be hosting a discussion with Sengupta about her book on the morning of March 17. Details are here.

Vietjet sets 2021 revenue target of $945million
Vietjet also strives to achieve an air transport revenue of VNĐ15.5 trillion (US$670 million) by the year-end.

HCM CITY - Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company (HoSE: VJC) targets a consolidated revenue of VNĐ21.9 trillion (US$945million) in 2021, achieving year-on-year growth of 20 per cent.
In particular, Vietjet will strive to achieve an air transport revenue of VNĐ15.5 trillion ($670 million) by the year-end.
These figures were announced at the company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2021 in HCM City on Tuesday.
Such goals will be mainly driven by an exponential increase in cargo revenue, new services in air transport, personnel training and aircraft maintenance and several investments in projects and finance, according to Vietjet.
Vietjet will keep revolving around its customer-focused strategy while striving for innovation and creativity. It is expected to digitalise every service available and operation protocols, growing business while improving its productivity and service quality.
In 2021, it is aiming to have its passenger load factor reaching 80 per cent, on-time performance standing at over 90 per cent, and to serve up to 15 million passengers across its flight network.
Vietjet's President and CEO Nguyễn Thị Phương Thảo said: "As a better future lies ahead, we'll work hard and relentlessly to make it come closer."
In his speech at the event, General Director of Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam Đinh Việt Thắng praised Vietjet's enormous efforts to remove obstacles and sustain its business during the pandemic, especially in abiding by strict COVID-19 prevention regulations.
He said that the company had played an active role in many of the Government's campaigns including repatriating Vietnamese overseas and airlifting disease prevention equipment.
Deputy Minister of Transport Lê Anh Tuấn said he believed that Vietjet would be able to stay on this track once the pandemic is over.
During the event, Vietjet shareholders also allowed the Board of Directors (BOD) to decide on a plan to raise charter capital through private placement of shares at a maximum of 15 per cent of the charter capital in order to guarantee sufficient resources for a safe and efficient comeback of Vietjet.
The BOD will also consider a $300 million international bond offering in 2021-22 to allow Vietjet to improve its financial position and to stay on track of sustainable growth.
The shareholders also passed an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) to issue up to 10 million shares. It is expected to give a boost to innovation and creativity, encouraging the working spirit and employee retention for the sake of Vietjet's development. — VNS

Il bias di risultato è un errore commesso nella valutazione della qualità di una decisione quando il risultato di tale decisione è già noto. In particolare, l'effetto del risultato si verifica quando lo stesso "comportamento produce maggiori condanne etiche se produce un risultato negativo anziché positivo, anche se il risultato è determinato per caso".

Sebbene simili al bias del senno di poi, i due fenomeni sono nettamente diversi. Il bias del senno di poi concentra sulla distorsione della memoria per favorire l'attore, mentre il bias di risultato si concentra esclusivamente sul considerare il risultato passato di più di altre informazioni nel valutare se una decisione passata era corretta.

Panoramica
Spesso si giudicherà una decisione passata in base al suo risultato finale anziché basandosi sulla qualità della decisione nel momento in cui è stata presa, dato ciò che era noto in quel momento. Questo è un errore perché nessun decisore sa mai se un rischio calcolato si risolverà o meno per il meglio. L'esito effettivo della decisione sarà spesso determinato per caso, con alcuni rischi che si risolvono e altri no. Gli individui i cui giudizi sono influenzati dal bias di risultato sembrano far incolpare i decisori di eventi al di fuori del loro controllo.

Baron e Hershey (1988) hanno presentato ai soggetti situazioni ipotetiche al fine di verificarlo. Uno di questi esempi ha coinvolto un chirurgo che ha deciso se effettuare o meno un intervento chirurgico rischioso su un paziente. L'intervento aveva una probabilità di successo nota. Ai soggetti è stato presentato un risultato positivo o negativo (in questo caso vivere o morire), e è stato chiesto di valutare la qualità della decisione pre-operatoria del chirurgo. Quelli presentati con risultati negativi hanno valutato la decisione peggiore di quelli che hanno avuto buoni risultati. "I fini giustificano i mezzi" è un aforisma spesso usato per esprimere l'effetto dell'Esito quando l'esito è desiderabile.

Il motivo per cui un individuo commette questo errore è che incorporerà le informazioni attualmente disponibili durante la valutazione di una decisione passata. Per evitare l'influenza della distorsione dei risultati, si dovrebbe valutare una decisione ignorando le informazioni raccolte dopo il fatto e concentrandosi su quale sia la risposta giusta o al momento in cui è stata presa la decisione.

Al di fuori degli esperimenti psicologici, è stato riscontrato che il bias di risultato è frequentemente presente nei problemi del mondo reale. Uno studio che esamina la valutazione della prestazione dei giocatori di calcio da parte di allenatori e giornalisti ha scoperto che la prestazione dei giocatori è giudicata sostanzialmente migliore - nel corso di un'intera partita - se il giocatore ha avuto un goal fortunato piuttosto che una sfortuna (dopo un tiro che colpisce uno dei pali della porta).

Students Help Others Work to Overcome Addictions
UCF has been a national leader in its efforts to help students get and stay sober.
By Megan Scavo | September 23, 2019

At 23, Richard Paul '16MNM didn't expect to see his next birthday. His addiction to alcohol and drugs was killing him and he didn't see a way out.
"I thought that if I moved to Florida, all my problems would be better," Paul says. "But I brought my problem with me. I was down here for a year before I was willing to admit that I had a problem."
Now sober for eight years, Paul has completed a master's degree at UCF and is working on his second, in social work. His experience with substance abuse and recovery has led him to help others who may be struggling in a university environment where drinking and use of other substances sometimes seems the norm.
College is one of the most common times for people to experiment with alcohol, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which reports that 80 percent of college students drink alcohol and 50 percent of those engage in binge drinking. Based on that use, approximately 15 percent of people 18 to 25 in the United States meet the criteria for substance abuse disorders, compared with 6.6 percent of adults over 26.
UCF has been a national leader in its efforts to help students get and stay sober. The university started holding Narcotics Anonymous meetings on campus in 2011 and then became the first public university in Florida to offer comprehensive recovery support. Across America, universities have followed suit. In 2012, the United States had 29 on-campus collegiate recovery communities. That number has now increased to more than 200.
UCF's Student Health Services offers counseling and treatment for substance abuse as well as contributing mental-health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
UCF's Student Health Services offers counseling and treatment for substance abuse as well as contributing mental-health disorders such as depression and anxiety. The Sober Knights student organization offers substance-free social events – including trivia, open mic and craft nights – and weekly meetings that provide fellowship and help direct students to recovery services. UCF holds on-campus Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings and has dedicated space for students in recovery to meet, study and find support. The Veterans Academic Resource Center offers support services for students returning from combat, including recovery-centered academic and career advising.
"If people are not sure if they have a problem or are wanting help, they can come over to Student Health Services right on campus across from Ferrell Commons," Paul says. "There are licensed mental-health counselors and licensed clinical-social workers who are specialized in abuse, so they can come here for resources."
Alexander Lewis, a junior psychology major, is the president of Sober Knights and he says the group helps students navigate the normalized college culture of partying, drinking and drug use.
"If people feel like they are partying too much just because everyone else is doing it, we're here to give them an alternative," Lewis says. "They don't have to feel like the only way to have a social life is through drinking."
Lewis' passion for helping students live a sober life on campus stems from his own struggles with drug addiction. After spending months in a rehabilitation center, he is now five and a half years sober and pursuing a psychology degree at UCF.
"I'm planning on going into industrial organizational psychology – the psychology of how people work," Lewis says. "The goal is to combine the passion I have for recovery and treatment centers with the degree and hopefully improve how substance-abuse treatment facilities hire people and how they work to help others."
Lewis urges students not to be afraid to ask for help. "Reach out to who you are comfortable with," Lewis says. "If not family, then reach out to friends. If your friends aren't supportive and you'd rather talk to strangers, you can do that too."
Thomas Hall '16PhD, led UCF's substance-disorders prevention efforts at UCF before being recently appointed to direct Orange County's Drug-Free Coalition. He said the university's recovery efforts have three goals: provide services for students who recognize they need help, create programs that help those already in recovery be successful at UCF and graduate, and provide a substance-free culture for students seeking a different college environment.
"Many students are looking for alternatives to the worn out, stale, old narratives about excessive college drinking," says Hall, who emphasized that not everyone in college is partying.
"I have seen the data and despite what people think, today's 18 to 24-year-old students are drinking less than those before them," Hall says. "Last year, over 40 percent of UCF first-time-in-college students reported they didn't drink at all in their senior year of high school."
Paul and Lewis say those statistics are encouraging, but they know too well the dangers of substance abuse and addiction. They say recovery is a difficult, ongoing journey. They hope that by sharing their stories, they can show others at UCF that with support recovery is possible
As Paul explains, "If you have a problem or you know someone who has a problem, know that there is a way out."
Along with resources available through Student Health Services, there are several recovery meetings available for UCF community members:
Alcoholics Anonymous: Actions of Recovery
Tuesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. at thePoint After Dark in the Neptune multipurpose room.
Al-Anon: Serenity Now
Mondays from 7 to 8 p.m. at thePoint After Dark
Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Barbara Ying Center
For more information, visit https://studenthealth.ucf.edu/recovery/.
Membership in the Collegiate Recovery Community at UCF is also an option for students who wish to seek assistance while maintaining their recovery during their time at UCF.
Members receive:
Private study space
Recovery coaching
Substance-use counseling
Fellowship and community recovery resources
Centered academic and career advising

Fashion retailer LK Bennett enters administration
Fri, 08 Mar 2019 | ADMINISTRATION
Premium fashion brand LK Bennett has fallen into administration, citing tough trading conditions and a slump on the high street as the reasons for the company's downfall.
The company, established in London in 1990 by Linda Bennett, was forced to call in professional services firm EY to handle the administration, with partners Dan Hurd, Hunter Kelly and Craig Lewis appointed as joint administrators.
LK Bennett was operating at a loss of roughly £6 million in the year ending July 2017, which later forced Linda Bennett herself to invest £11.2 million into the business.
Hurd commented on the administration, saying: "Amidst tough trading conditions for retailers, the company has been further impacted by significant rent increases and business rate rises.
"Linda and the management team therefore made the difficult decision to place the company into administration, to protect the future of the business.
"LK Bennett is a strong luxury UK brand, the new season collection was critically acclaimed, and recent trading is up, which we hope will be attractive to prospective buyers.
The brand owns 39 stores across the country, with an additional 37 concessions. However, due to the administration, stores in Sheffield, Bristol, Liverpool and London have been closed down.
In spite of the closures, trading in all other shops will continue; however, the company's web sales will be suspended temporarily to allow the administrators the chance to oversee stock and to carry out deliveries as best as possible.
LK Bennett stated that its international trading operations will not be affected.
The administrators are actively seeking a buyer for the business and its assets, and are inviting offers of interest immediately.

Arnold Comes of Age (Portrait of Arnold Pyle), 1930
Barbara Haskell: Arnold Comes of Age is a portrait of Arnold Pyle, who was a student of Grant Wood's when he was teaching middle school in Cedar Rapids, and then after graduation, Pyle became Wood's studio assistant.
Wood believed that paintings needed to tell stories. He felt that every painting had a beginning, a middle, and an end. In order to expand the idea of a sitter's personality and life, he thought he would include symbolic objects. So in every portrait he includes images that reflect something about the sitter's personality.
On the sleeve of Arnold's shirt is a butterfly, which represents symbolically the metamorphosis of life. There's a river of life dividing frolicking nude teens in the foreground and a harvested cornfield in the background to represent maturity. The other aspect of the picture, however, is a melancholy sense of sadness about it. I think it reflects Wood's own ambivalence about growing up.

Tungsten is a metal that is well-known for its properties, and many countries and industries seek it. It possesses features that make it useful in a lot of various professions, and the only limiting factor is the discrepancy between supply and demand. The request for this metal is high but the supply is limited, and thus this metal isn't widely spread as it should be due to its attributes. Even though the supply is limited, this metal is still used in some alloys spread across the industry.
Typical uses of the tungsten and its alloys
The most common use of this metal is in alloys where it usually plays a support role. This means that the benefits of this element are added to create an alloy that profits from those advantages. There are several benefits that tungsten provides that include resistance to heat, wear, and corrosion. High-speed steel is an alloy that has up to 18% of this element. This new metal is used to make saws and other machinery that has to suffer a lot of wear. Alloys that contain tungsten are several times more durable than those that have other elements. Tungsten Alloy has a reputation of being one of the best materials when it comes to creating electric relays and contacts.
Tungsten, in one of its forms, is also used to create hard and durable alloys. The final result is a metal that won't succumb to pressure, heat, corrosion, and wear. It's mainly used for large-scale tools that are quite expensive but can last up to a decade with little maintenance. This metal, in alloys that focus on other elements, plays a significant role in the building industry, even though they aren't a cheap option to choose.
Alternative uses for this precious metal
We already mentioned some mainstream uses of the tungsten, but we shouldn't forget other industries that seek this material. The military is one of the parties that require a large quantity of this element due to its properties. It's used to make kinetic energy penetrators which make uranium obsolete as it isn't radioactive as metal above. It's also well-known that various armies use tungsten in the production of shells and other exploding armament as it can create supersonic shrapnel which is deadly to infantry. It also increases armor penetration of short-range shells which enhances the ability of small calibers to do critical damage to armored vehicles.
The density of this metal makes it perfect for counterweights, weights, and ballast for a variety of sea and air vehicles. The problem that these industries encounter is the lack, and the price of the said material as other industries have an advantage when acquiring it. Formula One and NASCAR are only two racing sports that use this metal regularly.
Tungsten – A metal everyone wants
Tungsten is still an element that is in high demand, and it will stay like that shortly as well. If it were easy to manufacture it, then many problems that plague economies and industries would be gone. This metal has the power to change the world, but that won't happen due to its rarity.

Over the last few years, Cartier's Fine Watchmaking department has been consistently pushing out some of the most creative and technically impressive haute horology around. Just a few weeks ago we showed you the new Astrocalendaire and today we've got another stunner for you. The Rotonde de Cartier Earth and Moon uses its tourbillon and a moving Lapis Lazuli disc to display the phase of the moon on demand and there is a second timezone display as well. The Earth and Moon is as much a mechanical sculpture as it is a timekeeper and here we've got all the details.
The Earth and Moon is not a subtle watch – far from it. The platinum case comes in at 47mm across and 16.65mm thick, with robust arching lugs. The dial is bright blue lapis lazuli with a white gold Roman numeral grid over the top that also features a map of the earth at the center. The bright blued steel sword hands match the dial nicely and below all of this is a tourbillon. The finishing on the dial and case, from the brushing to the polishing to the beveling is nicer than what you'll find on most high-end movements. Cartier really hasn't pulled any punches here.
What makes this watch special though is a little Lapis disc that you can see peeking out from behind the "IIII." This disc can be deployed with the pusher at 4 o'clock, brining it down to partially cover the tourbillon. This displays the current phase of the moon, with the still-revealed part of the tourbillon representing the shining moon. The new calibre 9440 MC tracks the moonphase in the background and only displays it when you want it. Otherwise you can just admire the tourbillon in its entirety.
That other pusher at 2 o'clock is for adjusting the second timezone indicator, which is an hours disc floating around the main time display. This gives you a second timezone readout in a simple display that is there when you need it and unobtrusive when you don't. That it's easy to adjust only adds to the convenience.
Turning the Earth and Moon over reveals the absolutely incredible calibre 9440 MC. Anyone who has doubts about Cartier's watchmaking ability and how seriously the maison takes its watchmaking will be shut up instantly. The sheer variety of finishes, all well executed I might add, is overwhelming. The starburst effect of the skeletonizing really fits the theme of this watch and helps make this a movement you can get lost in. There are 362 total components, including 40 jewels, and the manually-wound power reserve can store approximately three days worth of energy.
Is the Earth and Moon a watch that everyone is going to want to wear? Probably not. But if you love watchmaking, including the intellectual pursuit, the mechanical complexity, and the artisan crafts associated with high watchmaking, you're going to be impressed by this watch.
Only 50 numbered pieces will be made, all in platinum and priced at $271,000, with an additional 10 pieces being offered with baguette diamond set bezels at $665,000. For more, visit Cartier.

Orchestration: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, celesta, and strings
First Los Angeles Philharmonic performances
Luciano Berio, as much as any composer of recent times, managed to balance the seemingly conflicting demands of art and politics, of avant-garde selectivity and musical populism. He was active and an influential force in the fields of opera, electronic music, and chamber music — his Sequenze in particular are widely performed and imitated, in addition to making arrangements of folk songs (heard on the present program), songs of Kurt Weill, and music of Boccherini, Mozart, and Monteverdi, as well as creating the "composed completion" — rather than employing existing sketches — of Puccini's opera Turandot. In addition, he produced two widely-disseminated patchwork compositions of extraordinary brilliance and originality, Sinfonia (1969), with its musical quotations of Mahler and the words of Martin Luther King Jr., Samuel Beckett, and Claude Lévi-Strauss, and the Schubert-based Rendering (1989), first performed in 1990 by Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Riccardo Chailly.
The score bears the following foreword by Berio: "During the last few weeks of his life Franz Schubert created many sketches in preparation for a Tenth Symphony, in D major. These sketches are fairly complex and of great beauty; they add a further indication of the new paths that were taking Schubert away from Beethoven's influence. Rendering, with its dual authorship, is intended as a restoration of those sketches. It is not a completion or a reconstruction. This restoration is made along the lines of the modern restoration of frescoes that aims at reviving the old colors without, however, trying to disguise the damage that time has caused, often leaving inevitable empty patches in the composition (for instance as in the case of Giotto in Assisi)."
The sketches for the Tenth Symphony were first made available for general examination in 1978, the 150th anniversary of Schubert's death, by the City and State Library of Vienna. This resulted in a number of "interpretations" of said sketches, two of them impressive indeed, each in its way: the British Schubert scholar Brian Newbould's unashamed "realization" — we might also call it a completion — in three movements, running to a half-hour's playing time and employing a wealth of (informed) speculation as to what Schubert would have done with the sketches had he lived — and mastered counterpoint. And Berio's slightly longer, more personal three-movement Rendering: Schubert's sketches expanded, employing the orchestra — with its prominent trombones — of the canonic "Unfinished" Symphony which closes this program. But unlike the entirely Schubertian-in-style Newbould effort, Rendering is spiced with dreamy interjections and inventions of Berio's own to create an unusual picture, part Schubert, part deconstructed Schubert, and lots of Berio.
The piano sketches referred to are extensive and complex, and Berio employs a substantial portion of them in Rendering, orchestrated in the Schubertian manner but with lashings of 20th-century dissonance and rhythmic complexity. It might be noted, too, that at the end of his life Schubert was troubled by a great deficiency in his education, the lack of even a basic notion of counterpoint. Thus, in October of 1828, a few weeks before his death, he arranged to take counterpoint lessons with Vienna's foremost expert on the subject, Simon Sechter. But the composer's extreme ill-health ruled out more than a single lesson, a tangible result of which was an exercise — perhaps a homework assignment — which Schubert jotted down in the margin of the manuscript of what would have been the Tenth Symphony. This, too, Berio includes in Rendering — in the second movement as an isolated, otherworldly passage.
What no listener will miss is the disembodied effect of the celesta, employed in all three movements of Rendering, most dramatically in the first movement, to fill in gaps in Schubert's sketches and at the opening of the Andante second movement, before the movement's theme is even announced by the oboe — a ghostly presence reminding us that we are, whatever the roots of Rendering, listening to Schubert in the present, not in the composer's time.

Q: KDTree is Returning Points Outside of Radius I have an array of lat long coordinates and I am trying to use a KDTree and scipy's query_ball_point to return all data points within a 1 mile radius of a designated latitude and longitude.
The problem is that query_ball_point is returning points that are outside of the specified 1 mile radius.  Here's my code:
import pandas as pd
import scipy as sp
import geocoder
import pysal as psl

search_list = df['coordinates'].tolist()
tree = psl.cg.KDTree(search_list, distance_metric='Arc', radius=psl.cg.RADIUS_EARTH_MILES)
latlong = (39.698840000000004, -104.975916)
index = tree.query_ball_point(latlong,r=1)

The result is an array of coordinates like the following:
+---------------------------------------+
|              coordinates              |
+---------------------------------------+
| (39.676973877551, -104.966231826172)  |
| (39.6777407534644, -104.988982458831) |
| ...                                   |
+---------------------------------------+

When I try to use the haversine formula to validate these results, I see the first coordinate is 1.6  miles way
from haversine import haversine
haversine((39.676973877551, -104.966231826172),
         (39.698840000000004, -104.975916),miles=True)

1.5961362762187963

A: Pysal doesn't use the haversine function to calculate distance for the query_ball_point method.  It uses the pysal.cg.sphere.arcdist function, which is different.
import pysal
from pysal.cg.kdtree import KDTree

locations = [(40.702566, -73.816859),
         (40.70546, -73.810708),
         (40.709179, -73.820574),
         (40.700486, -73.807969),
         (40.694624, -73.820593),
         (40.695132, -73.820841),
         (40.694095, -73.821334),
         (40.694165, -73.822368),
         (40.695077, -73.822817),
         (40.6747769261, -73.8092618174)]
tree = KDTree(locations, distance_metric='Arc', radius=pysal.cg.RADIUS_EARTH_MILES)
current_point = (40.709523, -73.802472)
# get all points within X miles of 'current_point'
indices = tree.query_ball_point(current_point, 1)
for i in indices:
    print(locations[i])

There are 3 points within 1 mile
(40.70546, -73.810708)
(40.700486, -73.807969)
(40.6747769261, -73.8092618174)

Not all these points are within 1 mile according to haversine formula:
from haversine import haversine
for i in indices:
    print(haversine(current_points, locations[i], miles = True))

0.5146716729994124
0.6875825817591269
2.4269297885659022

But they are within 1 mile according to pysal's arcdist formula using radius of 3958.756 miles:
from pysal.cg.sphere import arcdist
for i in indices:
    print(arcdist(current_points, locations[i], 3958.756))

0.5744128196875283
0.4178272122350164
0.8175408580090955

A: PySAL expects the input to be (longitude, latitude) (i.e. x,y) while the haversine python package expects (latitude, longitude).  Otherwise arcdist and haversine should return near identical results.
from libpysal.cg.sphere import arcdist, RADIUS_EARTH_MILES
from haversine import haversine

locations = [(40.702566, -73.816859),
         (40.70546, -73.810708),
         (40.709179, -73.820574),
         (40.700486, -73.807969),
         (40.694624, -73.820593),
         (40.695132, -73.820841),
         (40.694095, -73.821334),
         (40.694165, -73.822368),
         (40.695077, -73.822817),
         (40.6747769261, -73.8092618174)]
current_point = (40.709523, -73.802472)

H = [haversine(current_point, loc, unit='mi') for loc in locations]
print(', '.join(["%0.5f"%dist for dist in H]))
A = [arcdist(current_point[::-1], loc[::-1], radius=RADIUS_EARTH_MILES) for loc in locations]
print(', '.join(["%0.5f"%dist for dist in A]))
print(', '.join(['%0.8f'%(h-a) for h,a in zip(H,A)]))

Out:

I am filled with admiration for Nancy Pelosi for having the courage and audacity to visit Syria this week. In one brilliant step she has moved from the speakership to the world stage. It was a stunning move that showed the world a better side of America than the one they have been seeing in recent years. Nancy's visit demonstrated to the world that America is not all about Bush and Cheney. After the dark, dreary, disastrous night of George Bush's ruinous presidency it is refreshing to watch the woman who is second in line to the presidency make such a bold, independent and unexpected move -- a move that is, moreover, right in the face of Bush and Cheney. Bush is, predictably, apoplectic. Mentally muddled as ever, he charges that Nancy's visit sends mixed signals to Syria and the world, not getting it that that is exactly what we want and need.
Following the report of the Baker-Hamilton Commission we have watched the government dither over the desirability or lack of it of talking to Iran and Syria. Nancy says, "no problem...watch this!" She steps on the plane and goes to Damascus. There she sits down and talks to Assad. Mission accomplished! (Thanks for that, George.) As Dylan says on his last album, "things have changed."
What does this tell us about Nancy Pelosi? Did anyone think she would take this kind of electrifying action so early in her term? Not I. Barely three months have elapsed since she took office and she has made herself a global political player. What nerve! What next? Taking stock, the Speaker is mature, beautiful, articulate, intelligent, imaginative and bold. Do Hillary and Barack have cause for concern?
Postscript: As we watch Nancy Pelosi's ascending star, we should also take note of Germany's prime minister, Angela Merkel, who is surprising people who had sold her short with her astute and successful diplomacy. Angela has a Ph.D. in quantum chemistry and is not to be sold short.

Is Bakuchiol the New, More Gentle Version of Retinol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient that has skincare fans buzzing. Here's why
By Dr. Patti Haebe, ND, 12 December, 2019
© Can Stock Photo / gstockstudio
Bakuchiol is the buzzy new skincare ingredient popping up in night creams, serums and oils. You may have even heard it described as a "natural retinol" or a "retinol alternative." What does that mean? And is it effective? Here's what you need to know.
What is bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a phytochemical that has demonstrated anti-aging effects when used topically. An extract that comes from a plant called Psoralea corylifolia, bakuchiol has been used for years in traditional Chinese medicine but only recently made its debut in the beauty world. This powerful plant extract has been shown to be a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits.
What's especially exciting is bakuchiol's potential to function in a way similar to topical retinoids.
What are retinoids?
Retinoids have been used for years in the skincare world for their efficacy in regulating epithelial skin growth. They are commonly used to help in the treatment of acne, as well as in anti-aging skincare by helping diminish the appearance of fine lines and sun damage. Retinoid creams are actually a form of topical vitamin A and have been studied to show increases in production of collagen, production of new blood vessels and function by speeding up the turnover of superficial skin cells. Think of it like growing fresh skin at a faster rate! Typically, retinoids are available by prescription only, while the skincare products available on drugstore shelves contain retinol, a specific form of retinoid that isn't as strong as prescription-only retinoids.
However, both retinoids and retinol come with side effects such as skin dryness and irritation. They also increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so skipping the sunscreen while using retinoids will almost surely result in a sunburn.
For those with sensitive skin, bakuchiol may be the answer. Researchers have just begun studying this "more gentle" cousin of the beloved, yet harsh retinol.
Why bakuchiol is being compared to retinol
Now, when we look at the chemical structure of bakuchiol, it has no resemblance of a retinol molecule, however, the way it functions is extraordinarily similar.
A study that compared the two compounds in equivalent dosing, revealed that they both decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation and found no statistical difference between the compounds. However, study participants did experience one major difference: Those in the study that used retinol, experienced more facial stinging sensations and peeling than those who used bakuchiol.
So why say "yes" to bakuchiol?
Though more research needs to be done, bakuchiol seems to be a much more gentle alternative to traditional retinols with similar function. Plus, bakuchiol is not derived from animals. Plant-based skincare for the win!

Today in Madonna History: August 22, 2009
August 22, 2020 By sonicboy19 in 2009, August Tags: Celebration (Album), Celebration (Single), Ciaran Gribbin, Ian Green, Paul Oakenfold	1 Comment
On August 22 2009, Madonna scored her 55th Billboard Hot 100 hit with Celebration. The lead single from Madonna's career spanning greatest hits collection of the same name debuted at #71.
Celebration was written and produced by Madonna, Paul Oakenfold and Ian Green, with additional writing from Ciaran Gribbin.
Billboard reviews Celebration:
Madonna's latest single won't start any new trends, but it does return the singer to her dance-floor roots. "Come join the party … 'cause everybody wants to party with you," she sings on Celebration, the title track and one of a reported two new songs on her best-of set that's due September 29. A notable assist comes courtesy of trance DJ/producer Paul Oakenfold, who co-wrote and co-produced the buoyant stomper. He supplies a surging beat that could easily have been lifted from the star's Confessions On A Dance Floor period (Hung Up, Sorry) but can be traced even further back to her 1992 hit Deeper And Deeper. The melody, meanwhile, recalls her last single, 4 Minutes, in its urgency. Consider Celebration a score for Madonna's retro-futuristic fan base and a nice bookend to her collection of chart glories.

Meanwhile back on the Dance Floor, Madonna offers up Celebration-many years later, it still shines bright-I do want to party with her!

En lingüística generativa, más concretamente en la rama de la sintaxis, la teoría θ (teoría theta) es el conjunto de reglas y principios que explican cómo se asignan los papeles temáticos de una predicación. Es decir, la teoría θ explica cómo se establece la estructura argumental de una predicación verbal o de otro tipo. Los dos principales ingredientes de la teoría son:

 El criterio θ, sobre la asignación única de papeles temáticos (roles θ).
 El principio de proyección, sobre la aplicabilidad del criterio θ a los diferentes niveles de representación sintáctica (estructura P, estructura S, forma lógica).

Criterio θ
El criterio θ, debido originalmente a Freidin (1978), establece que todo sintagma nominal, o más propiamente todo constituyente maximal cuyo núcleo es un nombre, debe cumplir estas dos condiciones:

 Es un argumento obligatorio de alguno de los elementos predicativos de la oración.
 Es argumento de sólo un elemento predicativo.

Este criterio explica que cualquier elemento designativo o nominal (con rasgo [+N]) que aparece en un enunciado, aparece porque algún elemento predicativo así lo requiere. La primera condición del criterio θ descarta por ejemplo que ninguna lengua del mundo pueda tener una oración como:

**Las horas transcurrieron Juan

Puesto que el significado del verbo transcurrir que es intransitivo requiere un solo argumento y por tanto no pueden aparecer dos argumentos (horas y Juan) cuando el elemento predicativo o verbo solo requiere uno.

Principio de proyección
El principio de proyección de la estructura temática establece restricciones en la atribución de papeles temáticos en los diferentes niveles de representación (estructura P, estructura S, Forma lógica). Concretamente el principio establece que:
 El criterio θ es válido tanto en la estructura P como en la estructura S y la forma lógica.
 Un mismo constituyente debe tener el mismo rol θ o papel temático en todos los niveles (dicho de otra manera no puede desempeñar papeles sintáctico-semánticos diferentes en cada nivel).

Como consecuencia de lo anterior se prohíben transformaciones de un constituyente sintáctico desde una posición cualquiera a otra posición temática (posición θ) ya que ello implicaría que el nombre que forma el núcleo del constituyente recibiría otra interpretación temática diferente, lo cual contradiría el segundo punto del principio de proyección.

Papeles temáticos
En teoría estándar, los generativistas hicieron recurso a criterios de selección y a la subcategorización para explicar el hecho de que un verbo determinado necesita tal o tal complemento para que la oración sea gramatical. En la teoría de rección y ligamiento (TRL), eso se explica mediante la teoría temática: se introduce en las entradas léxicas una estructura temática (en inglés llamada theta-grid), al lado de la información categorial y la subcategorización:
 drink V, {Agente, Tema} [__ (SN "líquido")}
 put V, {Agente, Tema, Meta} [__SN "objeto", SP "ubicación" ]

En otras palabras: se añade a la entrada léxica una lista de argumentos que necesita un verbo. Esta estructura temática informa sobre el número de argumentos que requiere el verbo en cuestión y sobre el contenido semántico que tienen que expresar (por ejemplo en (1), el verbo necesita dos argumentos: un Agente, que tiene que ser un SN animado, y un Tema, que tiene que ser un SN "líquido"). Estas precisiones semánticas son los papeles temáticos de los argumentos.

Como se desprende de (1) y (2), existen diferencias entre los distintos verbos en cuanto al número de argumentos que exigen.

El verbo asigna a cada argumento un papel temático y cada argumento no puede cumplir más de un papel temático. De este manera se pueden separar los argumentos de los expletivos, los elementos facultativos de la frase, ya que estos carecen de papel temático. Sin embargo, existen diferencias de un autor al otro en cuanto a la lista de los papeles temáticos. De todos modos, la lista que figura a continuación contiene los papeles más usuales.

Lista de papeles temáticos
Si bien la teoría-θ anterior no propone una lista de cuáles son concretamente los papeles temáticos existentes, la teoría surgió en el contexto de explicar cuales son los argumentos típicos de las predicaciones verbales donde sí se da una lista de papeles semánticamente determinados. Algunos de ellos son:
 Experimentador (S) es el elemento que designa a un participante de la predicación verbal que no es un partícipe consciente o voluntario del estado o proceso predicado por el verbo. Típicamente los sujetos de las oraciones intransitivas que designan estado o actividad mental son experimentadores.
 Agente (A), es un participante activo, consciente y voluntario de una predicación verbal que designe una acción o proceso. Generalmente, el sujeto de una oración con verbo en voz activa y/o diátesis directa que lleva a cabo una acción télica o un proceso es un agente.
 Paciente (P/O), es un participante que una predicación verbal de tipo proceso, que sufre cambios a medida que se desarrolla la predicación descrita por el verbo.
 Tema es un participante en una predicación verbal de tipo acción o proceso que no sufre cambios físicos a lo largo de la acción.
 Recipiente es un participante de una predicación verbal. Generalmente el recipiente es el receptor de un objeto o persona que tiene el papel de tema.
 Beneficiario es un participante no necesario que recibe consecuencias positivas o negativas de la acción verbal.

When the success function is triggered, data is just showing as
���1 �PDѽ�:ޏ�$�+A,D����*��w%���T�9�g���1G����h�6��'�nۖ\����~�%^

As you can see I've tried setting the 'Accept-Encoding' head but the error I'm getting when I do that is Refused to set unsafe header "Accept-Encoding".  I've tried setting headers on the server side as described in this answer PHP Manual GZip Encoding
but that didn't help me either.  I just don't know what I'm missing.  What do I need to include in the $.ajax() request (and possibly the server response) to get it so that the success callback has the uncompressed data?
thnx,
Christoph

A: derp.  I totally missed (and thought I had) the header
header('Content-Encoding: gzip');

Adding that and viola, it works.  I'm not bright sometimes...
thnx,
Christoph
