Comparing Series with datetime.date
We’ve reverted a 0.23.0 change to comparing a Series holding datetimes and a datetime.date object (GH21152). In pandas 0.22 and earlier, comparing a Series holding datetimes and datetime.date objects would coerce the datetime.date to a datetime before comparing. This was inconsistent with Python, NumPy, and DatetimeIndex, which never consider a datetime and datetime.date equal.
Series
datetime.date
DatetimeIndex
In 0.23.0, we unified operations between DatetimeIndex and Series, and in the process changed comparisons between a Series of datetimes and datetime.date without warning.
We’ve temporarily restored the 0.22.0 behavior, so datetimes and dates may again compare equal, but restore the 0.23.0 behavior in a future release.
To summarize, here’s the behavior in 0.22.0, 0.23.0, 0.23.1:
# 0.22.0... Silently coerce the datetime.date >>> import datetime >>> pd.Series(pd.date_range('2017', periods=2)) == datetime.date(2017, 1, 1) 0 True 1 False dtype: bool # 0.23.0... Do not coerce the datetime.date >>> pd.Series(pd.date_range('2017', periods=2)) == datetime.date(2017, 1, 1) 0 False 1 False dtype: bool # 0.23.1... Coerce the datetime.date with a warning >>> pd.Series(pd.date_range('2017', periods=2)) == datetime.date(2017, 1, 1) /bin/python:1: FutureWarning: Comparing Series of datetimes with 'datetime.date'. Currently, the 'datetime.date' is coerced to a datetime. In the future pandas will not coerce, and the values not compare equal to the 'datetime.date'. To retain the current behavior, convert the 'datetime.date' to a datetime with 'pd.Timestamp'. #!/bin/python3 0 True 1 False dtype: bool
In addition, ordering comparisons will raise a TypeError in the future.
TypeError
Other fixes
Reverted the ability of to_sql() to perform multivalue inserts as this caused regression in certain cases (GH21103). In the future this will be made configurable.
to_sql()
Fixed regression in the DatetimeIndex.date and DatetimeIndex.time attributes in case of timezone-aware data: DatetimeIndex.time returned a tz-aware time instead of tz-naive (GH21267) and DatetimeIndex.date returned incorrect date when the input date has a non-UTC timezone (GH21230).
DatetimeIndex.date
DatetimeIndex.time
Fixed regression in pandas.io.json.json_normalize() when called with None values in nested levels in JSON, and to not drop keys with value as None (GH21158, GH21356).
pandas.io.json.json_normalize()
None
Bug in to_csv() causes encoding error when compression and encoding are specified (GH21241, GH21118)
to_csv()
Bug preventing pandas from being importable with -OO optimization (GH21071)
Bug in Categorical.fillna() incorrectly raising a TypeError when value the individual categories are iterable and value is an iterable (GH21097, GH19788)
Categorical.fillna()
Fixed regression in constructors coercing NA values like None to strings when passing dtype=str (GH21083)
dtype=str
Regression in pivot_table() where an ordered Categorical with missing values for the pivot’s index would give a mis-aligned result (GH21133)
pivot_table()
Categorical
index
Fixed regression in merging on boolean index/columns (GH21119).
Improved performance of CategoricalIndex.is_monotonic_increasing(), CategoricalIndex.is_monotonic_decreasing() and CategoricalIndex.is_monotonic() (GH21025)
CategoricalIndex.is_monotonic_increasing()
CategoricalIndex.is_monotonic_decreasing()
CategoricalIndex.is_monotonic()
Improved performance of CategoricalIndex.is_unique() (GH21107)
CategoricalIndex.is_unique()
Groupby/resample/rolling
Bug in DataFrame.agg() where applying multiple aggregation functions to a DataFrame with duplicated column names would cause a stack overflow (GH21063)
DataFrame.agg()
DataFrame
Bug in pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.ffill() and pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.bfill() where the fill within a grouping would not always be applied as intended due to the implementations’ use of a non-stable sort (GH21207)
pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.ffill()
pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.bfill()
Bug in pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.rank() where results did not scale to 100% when specifying method='dense' and pct=True
pandas.core.groupby.GroupBy.rank()
method='dense'
pct=True
Bug in pandas.DataFrame.rolling() and pandas.Series.rolling() which incorrectly accepted a 0 window size rather than raising (GH21286)
pandas.DataFrame.rolling()
pandas.Series.rolling()
Data-type specific
Bug in Series.str.replace() where the method throws TypeError on Python 3.5.2 (GH21078)
Series.str.replace()
Bug in Timedelta where passing a float with a unit would prematurely round the float precision (GH14156)
Timedelta
Bug in pandas.testing.assert_index_equal() which raised AssertionError incorrectly, when comparing two CategoricalIndex objects with param check_categorical=False (GH19776)
pandas.testing.assert_index_equal()
AssertionError
CategoricalIndex
check_categorical=False
Sparse
Bug in SparseArray.shape which previously only returned the shape SparseArray.sp_values (GH21126)
SparseArray.shape
SparseArray.sp_values
Indexing
Bug in Series.reset_index() where appropriate error was not raised with an invalid level name (GH20925)
Series.reset_index()
Bug in interval_range() when start/periods or end/periods are specified with float start or end (GH21161)
interval_range()
start
periods
end
Bug in MultiIndex.set_names() where error raised for a MultiIndex with nlevels == 1 (GH21149)
MultiIndex.set_names()
MultiIndex
nlevels == 1
Bug in IntervalIndex constructors where creating an IntervalIndex from categorical data was not fully supported (GH21243, GH21253)
IntervalIndex
Bug in MultiIndex.sort_index() which was not guaranteed to sort correctly with level=1; this was also causing data misalignment in particular DataFrame.stack() operations (GH20994, GH20945, GH21052)
MultiIndex.sort_index()
level=1
DataFrame.stack()
Plotting
New keywords (sharex, sharey) to turn on/off sharing of x/y-axis by subplots generated with pandas.DataFrame().groupby().boxplot() (GH20968)
I/O
Bug in IO methods specifying compression='zip' which produced uncompressed zip archives (GH17778, GH21144)
compression='zip'
Bug in DataFrame.to_stata() which prevented exporting DataFrames to buffers and most file-like objects (GH21041)
DataFrame.to_stata()
Bug in read_stata() and StataReader which did not correctly decode utf-8 strings on Python 3 from Stata 14 files (dta version 118) (GH21244)
read_stata()
StataReader
Bug in IO JSON read_json() reading empty JSON schema with orient='table' back to DataFrame caused an error (GH21287)
read_json()
orient='table'
Reshaping
Bug in concat() where error was raised in concatenating Series with numpy scalar and tuple names (GH21015)
concat()
Bug in concat() warning message providing the wrong guidance for future behavior (GH21101)
Other
Tab completion on Index in IPython no longer outputs deprecation warnings (GH21125)

- Personal exposure determinations (measurements of actual exposures to air
toxics by people living in urban environments).
- Use of biomarkers (health effect assessment in susceptible populations).
- Health effects research (clinical, toxicological and epidemiological
studies). Initial research projects involved an assessment of research gaps
related to the chemical and physical processes of asthma and the effect of air
toxics on same.
- Improved specificity and sensitivity of biomarkers; and the use of passive monitors for short term personal exposures to selected air toxics.

Mireka can send traffic and JRE statistics to a Graphite server which can produce realtime graphs for monitoring.
To enable sending data to Graphite, edit mireka.js
and uncomment
the GraphiteReporter block.
If your Graphite server host is graphite.example.com
,
and the host name of the server running Mireka is mail
,
then the result should look like this:
... /* uncomment to send monitoring data to a Graphite server for graphical viewing */ ██ setup(GraphiteReporter, { host: "graphite.example.com", prefix: "mail.mireka" }); ██ ...
We have good experience with usingHOSTNAME.PROGRAM_NAME
for the prefix
property, but you can freely choose any value for it.
Graphite prefixes the name of data elements coming from this Mireka process with the supplied value.

FORGET PARIS A film review by Ben Hoffman Copyright 1995 Ben Hoffman
It is springtime and romantic comedies are in the air. By far the best this season is the utterly hilarious FORGET PARIS written by Billy Crystal, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel, among the finest comedy writers. It comes then as no surprise that almost every remark is witty regardless of which of the cast utters it. And what a cast! Director Billy Crystal has assembled a superb group to tell this romantic story about marriage not being quite the same as a honeymoon. In addition, the novelty of the film's presentation is a unique and delightful way to tell a story.
Andy and Liz (Joe Mantegna and Cynthia Stevenson) are in a restaurant at a large table awaiting the arrival of friends who will soon be joining them. Andy and Liz are engaged to be married. To pass the time until the other guests arrive, he tells her the story of Mickey and Ellen (Billy Crystal and Debra Winger). As each couple arrives, Craig and Lucy, (Richard Mazur and Julie Kavner), Lois and Jack (Cathy Moriarty and John Spencer), each adds a bit to the Mickey-Ellen story. What they tell is seen in flashbacks.
Mickey is a top referee in professional basketball. His love life consists of the cheerleaders. When his father dies, a cantankerous man whom no one likes, his body in a casket is shipped to France as that was his last will, to lie alongside his wartime buddies.
Mickey sees the casket put aboard the plane's baggage dept but when he arrives in France, the casket (and Dad) are nowhere to be found. Sad? Not at all. That is how Mickey meets Ellen who is the American VP for the airline in Paris. He falls madly and instantly in love with her and a few days later, proposes. At this point she tells him she is married but "separated." By the way, Dad is finally found and buried.
The film, with every moment funny, tells of their relationship. Does she give up her great job in Paris, get divorced and come to the U.S.? Or should he give up the job he loves as the pro referee and come to France to live? The movie, always maintaining its comedic side, tangles with this and the many other questions that arise. It is a beaut!
In real life, Billy Crystal has been married to the same wife, Janice, for 25 years. They have two children. Crystal has wanted for a long time to make a film about what real marriage is like and he has succeeded brilliantly even if real marriage is not as funny as the film.
Directed by Billy Crystal

What are the benefits of version control?
Version control enables you to keep track of your project throughout it's lifecyle. You have a master version of your project and are able to revert back to an older version if need be easily if something breaks or needs to be undone. You can also use it to collaberate with others on the same project. It will help you keep track of all the differnt pieces of code being merged in from different people.  Version control keeps track of this merge with your changes, and will let you know if any work you have done conflicts with someone elses verion of the code that they haved added to the project (since you branched of master, or last pulled the latest updates from master). It will allow you to see the differences between your code, and choose who's version you would like to keep.
How does git help you keep track of changes?
You keep track of changes by creating a new branch every time you have a new task to do. When you have finished with your task you commit it and add a message to explain what you have changed. git keeps track of every commit with its' message, and inside every commit you can see the code changes.
Why use GitHub to store your code?
It is a good way to collaberate with other people on a project no matter where they are in the world. GitHub stores your project, and is the central place from where others on your project can get a copy of the code from and if they have persmission, contribute to it.


ChromeShades is a tool to help you make your site more accessible to blind users.
Simply install the Chrome extension and everything in your browser is reformatted in a way that simulates how a blind user would perceive the page with a screen reader. Interactive web apps remain functional, so you can test actual workflows for accessibility problems.
ChromeShades is not a substitute for testing with screen readers, but it can be a faster and easier way to identify many issues up-front before you ever open a screen reader or send it to a tester.
The best way to understand what ChromeShades does is to see just how ChromeShades transforms your HTML, with the examples below.
The current version of ChromeShades doesn't have any controls. When it's running, any new page you reload will be transformed. To turn it off, visit the Chrome extensions page (press the Wrench menu -> Tools -> Extensions, or visit chrome://extensions/) and click on the Disable link next to ChromeShades - then reload any pages that had ChromeShades applied.
A future version may make it much easier to toggle on and off for an individual page.
Blind users can't perceive any of the fonts, styles, colors, and positional layout in your page. ChromeShades removes all of this for you, so you can determine if the unstyled content is still logically organized and easy to understand. In this example, the ChromeShades representation makes it clear that the text at the top won't be perceived as a big, bright heading, and the "my favorite" annotation won't appear in the right place next to Chrome.
While specific font, size, and color changes are not preserved, screen readers do announce headings and lists, and may announce semantic tags like <strong> and <em>. Use these whenever possible, and then just style them with CSS to get the look you desire.
In the example below, ChromeShades marks the heading in red to indicate it's a semantic element that screen readers will set apart, and it shows "My favorite" in bold.
One way that screen reader users navigate a complex document is by its headings. Documents with lots of hierarchically-organized headings are much easier to navigate than documents without such structure.
To make your heading structure more apparent, ChromeShades indents everything in your document by the heading level to make the impact of the heading hierarchy on your document more apparent.
ChromeShades helps you make sure that anything that is supposed to be interactive (focusable, clickable) has a proper ARIA role set. In ChromeShades, both a <button> and a <div role="button"> will be formatted the same way, indistinguishably, but a clickable <div> without a role will end up looking like plaintext, so you can tell at a glance that they're not marked up properly.
Controls are always displayed on their own line - this matches the behavior of screen readers, where an interactive control (and usually a link, also) is always a distinct line or a distinct node when the user is browsing the elements on a page.
In addition, all interactive controls are formatted in green, so you can quickly tell them apart from any static content.
Real link ARIA link Clickable text
Real radio ARIA radio
Screen readers do respect display: none and most screen readers respect visibility: hidden, so you should assume anything on your page that's hidden using one of these methods will also be hidden to screen reader users.
On the other hand, something that's hidden by absolute-positioning it offscreen and/or giving it no width or height will still be visible to a screen reader. You can use this to create text that won't appear visually but can be read by a screen reader user.
Finally, to hide something from screen readers, use the attribute aria-hidden="true".
Most images should have an alt tag as a description, and ChromeShades will display the contents of the alt tag instead of the image so that you can easily identify unlabeled images and make sure your image labels make sense.
Sometimes an image is for presentational purposes only, and no label is needed. In that case, mark up the image with alt="" and ChromeShades will hide the image entirely so it doesn't look like an unlabeled image. Most screen readers will skip an image explicitly labeled with alt="", but for an image with no alt tag, they may say something like "Image".
Other form controls can be labeled with a <label> tag, or if you want the label to be only for screen reader users, with the aria-label attribute. In addition, when a control has a title attribute, it's used as the tooltip in some browsers, but it's used as the replacement description for some screen readers, so make sure it's a good description of the control.
No alt tag:
Alt tag:
Empty alt tag:
Many web apps make heavy use of iframes. There's nothing inaccessible about iframes, but to a screen reader user, all of the frames on a page are integrated into a single virtual document. So, it's important that your site is equally easy to navigate across iframe boundaries.
Before iframe
After iframe
Tables used for layout, instead of to present actual tabular data, will be displayed linearly in ChromeShades. This is to reinforce the idea that the spatial position in the page should never be used to convey information.

ChromeShades was inspired by Fangs, a clever, innovative and useful Firefox extension that creates a textual representation of a web page similar to how the page would be read by a modern screen reader.
The major difference between the two is that Fangs parses the current page and generates a separate representation of the screen reader text, while ChromeShades transforms the current page in-place. As a result, you can dynamically interact with a page while ChromeShades is on, but with Fangs you need to interact with the original page and then try to figure out how the screen reader version changes. So ChromeShades is designed to be more useful for modern web apps.
Fangs has been around for many years and it's a more mature product. It goes to great lengths to imitate many of the specific behaviors of JAWS, the most widely used screen reader. For static content, and even for simple dynamic content, Fangs is a fantastic testing tool.
ChromeShades is not a replacement for testing your web site with a real screen reader! It's a tool to help you quickly fix the majority of the easy problems so that when you do actual testing you can focus on workflow efficiency and overcoming any minor screen reader quirks, not basic accessibility problems.
Keep in mind that not all screen readers are the same, and they don't behave the same with different web browsers. Complete testing should include a variety of browsers and screen readers. There are third-party testing labs that will provide this service.
There are also many other aspects of accessibility that ChromeShades does not try to address: for example, websites should be accessible to users with color-blindness and low vision, but ChromeShades does not attempt to help address their needs. Luckily there are other tools and resources available to help with many of these.
For simple pages, yes - but that probably won't work for most dynamic pages because anything hidden using display or visibility won't function anymore - note that modern screen readers only access what's actually visible on the page, just like any other user. Turning off CSS also won't help you test whether or not titles, labels, and ARIA attributes have been applied correctly.
ChromeShades was developed by Dominic Mazzoni and other members of Google's accessibility team. It's part of the google-axs-chrome project on googlecode.
ChromeShades is open-source, released under the terms of the Apache License 2.0.

This hot chicken and cool noodle salad combines bright lime and chilli flavours to spice up a summer lunch.
Each serving provides 544kcal, 42g protein, 60g carbohydrate (of which 17g sugars), 15g fat (of which 3g saturates), 3g fibre and 3.3g salt.
For the spicy chicken thighs, whisk the fish sauce, pepper, garlic, chillies and sugar together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, pour half the marinade over the chicken thighs. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Reserve the rest of the marinade.
For cucumber and cashew salad, make a dressing by adding the lime juice and sugar to the reserved marinade, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
In a heat-proof bowl, cover the vermicelli with boiling water and leave for a minute or so until the noodles have softened.
Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water. Mix the drained noodles in a large bowl with the cucumber, mint, spring onions, cashews and the dressing until well combined.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Fry the chicken thighs in the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. (You may have to do this in batches.)
To serve, divide the cucumber and cashew salad among four plates, slice the chicken and place alongside.


In our last full team meeting, we made a goal to have weekly releases, targeting Tuesday. Each release should, naturally, be accompanied by release notes tracking everything contained in the day's releases along with any notes on emergency patch releases done out-of-band in the previous week.
This week's release notes can be found below. Here's a few high level general notes on important issues:
Validation
We're continuing to work on the new validation library we announced last Tuesday. Each of our releases to this plugin will likely contain breaking changes for a little while. So, remember, to get these updates you need to jspm install
rather than jspm update
(if you are using jspm). Here's some notes from Patrick Walters on the changes in this release.
Breaking Changes
The Validator class for the fluent API should not be injected because it should not be a singleton. Developers should switch this...
static inject = [Validator];
constructor(validator) {
this.validator = validator
.ensure(this.model, 'firstName')
.required();
}
to this...
constructor() {
this.validator = new Validator(this.model)
.ensure('firstName')
.required();
}
You can also see that the fluent API has been refactored to reduce duplication and clean up usage. More information available here .
New Features
You can now manually validate instances that use decorators like this:
class Model {
@required firstName = '';
}
this.model = new Model();
this.validator = new Validator(this.model);
this.validator.validate();
Fixes
You can now pass configuration objects to all validation rules. There was previously an issue with a few of the rules mentioned here .
Dialog
Core team member Jedd Ahyoung is taking over working on the dialog library now that Patrick Walters is focusing in on Validation. We like to have at least two (or more) core team members with intimate knowledge of every part of Aurelia, with one taking the leader role on each library. This helps in code review, knowledge transfer and vision casting.
Router
Thanks to the work of community member Javier Ros, the router now has the ability to handle both case-sensitive and case-insensitive routes. The router is case-insensitive by default. You can change this by setting the caseSensitive
property on the config
object during router configuration.
All the Rest (Release Notes)
Below you can find the release notes relating to other patch releases. As part of this set of patches, we also updated each library's bower.json
file to better work with those using Webpack with bower.

This web application template demonstrates simple integration between Esri Web Scenes and Autodesk Forge Models.


OA4MP has an authorization module that is built in. This may be replaced by installations as needed. Part of the specification is that, if this is disabled, the username and information about the client making the delegation request must be shown. This is called client verification and is required by the OAuth protocol. You may have OA4MP do this or disable this as well, though it is encumbant on the installation to show this information. This results in 3 use cases which are discussed below in depth, after the table of attributes.
| Attribute | Required? | Default | Description |
| useProxy | N | false | Valid values are "true" or "false".
This flag determines whether or not to use a proxy for authorization. See also cfgFile and cfgName |
| cfgFile | N | This is required if useProxy is true and ignored otherwise. This is the path to the client configuration file. | |
| cfgName | N | This is required if useProxy is true and ignored otherwise. The name of the configuration within the cfgFile to use. | |
| useHeader | N | false | Valid values are "true" or "false". This flag determines whether or not to enable this facility. Default is to not use this. |
| requireHeader | N | false | Valid values are "true" or "false". This flag forces the server to use the specified header. Note especially that if this is true and no such header is received then an exception is raised. |
| headerFieldName | N | N/A | The name of the header field to use. Generally this is REMOTE_USER, but this must be specified. Other fields are permissible. |
| returnDNAsUsername | N | N/A | Valid values are "true" or "false". This flag forces the server to return the DN (distinguished name) on the certificate as the username, as opposed to the usual name of the user. This has nothing to do with enabling the use of the header field. |
| convertDNToGlobusID | N | N/A | Standard DN's (Distinguished names) are comma separated. Some versions of Globus, however, require that these be slash delimited. Enabling this option will convert commas to slashes using Globus's own utility for doing this. This means that you must follow the installation instruction for JGlobus to your Tomcat. Generally this option should rarely, if ever, be needed, so don't just enable it unless you are sure you know what it does and need it. |
<config> <server name="my-config"> <authorizationServlet useProxy="true" cfgFile="/opt/oa4mp/etc/clients.xml"> cfgName="cilogon-proxy"> <!-- rest of config --> <\server> <\config>
In this case, there is a service configured (you have registered a client with it) and you need to have calls for authorization forwarded to it. All you need to do is ensure the configuration in the file is correct and that your Tomcat web.xml file is set right and you are good to go. See more at using prooxies
<config> <server name="my-config"> <authorizationServlet useHeader="true" headerFieldName="REMOTE_USER"> <!-- rest of config --> <\server> <\config>
This is the default. In this case a logon will be shown to the user who will be prompted for the username and password. Since this page also contains the client information, the verification portion of the protocol is deemed satisfied. We highly recommend customizing the basic OA4MP page for a consistent look and feel in your site.
In this case, the username and (possibly) password will be delivered in the header. We generally suggest that standard practice of using the REMOTE_USER header be used. Unless explicitly disabled, the verification page with the displayed username will be shown.
Options that may be configured here to
Specifying that the header should be used implies that the header may be present. Since the username may be created also via an extension to the system (see below for details) the lack oof a header field is not an error. However, requiring the header will cause an exception if the header is not found. The default is to assume that the header is the REMOTE_HEADER field, though any field name may be specified.
In this case the server must have some way of performing the client verification. You will need to write a webapp that completely takes over the functions at the authorize endpoint. (found in the javadoc) should then be deployed elsewhere and invoked by your webapp when it has the username and password (if needed). Note that it is up to you to keep access to this servlet safe. We normally suggest that access be restricted to localhost only, so that only your webapp has access to the AuthorizationServlet. The AuthorizationServlet accepts the following call directly:
| Parameter key | Parameter values | Comment |
| oauth_token | String | This is the token sent to the authorize endpoint as per the specification and identifies this user's delegation request uniquely. |
| AuthUserName | String | The username that will be sent unchanged to MyProxy |
| AuthPassword | String | (Optional) the password the user will require to log in to MyProxy. |
| lifetime | int | (Optional) The lifetime for the certificate. The client may request any value in the initial request, but server policies may override this here. If missing, the request sent by the client will be used and if there is none, any defaults will be used. |
In this case, which e.g. occurs when using Shibboleth, you may create a completely customized handler that will allow you to create virtually any customized username for MyProxy you want from the request. You may also use it to set the username returned in the getCert response. This consists of a interface called UsernameTransformer which has two methods:
to return an instance of your transformer. This will be automatically invoked at the approprate time. If either of these methods return a null value, then they are simply ignored.


Item 3.
Next, calculate the first and third quartile. Values that divide a data set into four equal parts (quarters) are called quartiles.
The first quartile or the lower quartile (\(Q_1\)) is the data point below which 25% of the data points, and above which 75% of the data points are located. If the first quartile of the annual household income data is $31,000, then 25% of the respondents' annual household income is less than and 75% of the respondents' annual household income is more than$31,000.
The third quartile or the upper quartile (\(Q_3\)) is the data point below which 75% of the data points, and above which 25% of the data points are located. If the third quartile of the annual household income data is $40,000, then 75% of the respondents' annual household income is less than and 25% of the respondents' annual household income is more than$40,000.
The difference between the third and first quartile is known as interquartile range (\((Q_3 – Q_1)\)).
An outlier is an observation (data point), which is either too high or too low compared to the rest of the data points in a data set. For example, in the annual household income data set, the annual household income of $55,000 is an outlier. That means, the respondent having an annual household income of $55,000 is earning considerably high compared to the rest of the respondents who filled the survey.
The rule that is followed to identify an outlier in a given data set is called 1.5 x IQR. When a data set is given,
First find its median, upper quartile, and the lower quartile.
Next, calculate the value of interquartile range \((Q_3-Q_1)\)
Calculate 1.5 x IQR = 1.5 x \((Q_3-Q_1)\)
-
Find the fences:
\begin{equation*} \text{Upper fence: }Q_3 + 1.5 * (Q_3-Q_1) \end{equation*}\begin{equation*} \text{Lower fence: }Q_1 - 1.5 * (Q_3-Q_1) \end{equation*} Any data point beyond the fences, that is either lower than the lower fence or higher than the upper fence is an outlier.

Since version 4.2, Proof General supports proof-tree visualization on graphical desktops via the additional program Prooftree. Currently, proof-tree visualization is only supported for the Coq proof assistant.
This version of Proof General requires Prooftree version 0.11. Check the Prooftree website, to see if some later versions are also compatible. (Because of the communication protocol, Proof General is always only compatible with certain versions of Prooftree.)
For installation instructions and more detailed information about Prooftree, please refer to the Prooftree website and the Prooftree man page. For information about how to support proof-tree visualization for a different proof assistant, see Section Configuring Proof-Tree Visualization in the Adapting Proof General manual.
| 7.1 Starting and Stopping Proof-Tree Visualization | ||
| 7.2 Features of Prooftree | ||
| 7.3 Prooftree Customization |
When proof-tree visualization is supported (currently only for the Coq proof assistant), you can start the visualization via the proof-tree button in the tool-bar, via the menu
Proof-General -> Start/Stop Prooftree |
or via the keyboard shortcut C-c C-d, all of which invoke
proof-tree-external-display-toggle
.
If you are inside a proof, the graphical display is started immediately for your current proof. Otherwise the display starts as soon as you start the next proof. Starting the proof-tree display in the middle of a proof involves an automatic reexecution of your current proof script in the locked region, which should be almost unnoticeable, except for the time it takes.
The proof-tree display stops at the end of the proof or when you
invoke proof-tree-external-display-toggle
by one of the
three indicated means again. Alternatively you can also close the
proof-tree window.
Proof General launches only one instance of Prooftree, which can manage an arbitrary amount of proof-tree windows.
The proof-tree window provides visual information about the status of the different branches in your proof (by coloring completely proved branches in green, for example) and means for inspecting previous proof states without the need to retract parts of your proof script. Currently, Prooftree provides the following features:
admit
.
For a more elaborated description please consult the help dialog of Prooftree or the Prooftree man page.
The location of the Prooftree program and command line
arguments can be configured in the customization group
proof-tree
. You can visit this customization group inside
a running instance of Proof General by typing M-x
customize-group <RET> proof-tree <RET>
.
The graphical aspects of the proof-tree rendering, fonts and
colors can be changed inside Prooftree by invoking the
Configuration
item of the main menu.
Prover specific parts such as the regular expressions for
recognizing subgoals, existential variables and navigation and
cheating commands are in the customization group
proof-tree-internals
. Under normal circumstances there
should be no need to change one of these internal settings.

Separatists 'boys' arrested in Ho
Eleven secessionists whose leader declared independence of a so-called Western Togoland in Ho last Saturday have been arrested in the Volta Regional capital.
Five of them have already appeared in a Ho Circuit Court and are now on remand.
Their arrest by Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and National Security operatives followed an unannounced hunt for their octogenarian leader, Charles Komi Kudzordzi, aka Papavi Kudzordzi, and key members of the Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF).
The secessionist project is being executed under the HSGF, their nationalistic activities having started a few years ago.
Big Fish
The hunt for the actors in the secession project is far from being over as the leader himself is still below the radar of the security agents.
5 In Court
The five remanded at the Ho District Court yesterday on charges of treason felony included Peter Godfriend Edem, Mkpe Tornyi Kudjo, Kofi Agbeko, Agbenyega Akudzia, and Ibrahim Tofa.
They were part of the many who hosted the ‘independence declaration’ activities of the so-called Western Togoland.
Some of them are alleged to have performed specific roles during the declaration which took place near the Police Training School in Ho.
They would re-appear on December 4, 2019.
‘Western Togolander’
Peter Godfriend Edem who was said to be prominent during the declaration was the MC and was very loud as he directed proceedings.
As MC, he was said to have been categorical about the position of the leader whom he described as President Charles Komi Kudzordzi.
One of the suspects, Kofi Agbeko, DAILY GUIDE has gathered, did not dispute his nationality as he told security agents that he is a ‘Western Togolander’ and a treasurer of the study group.
BNI Dossier
The activities of the study group are known to the national security apparatus, BNI officers serving in the regional capital having compiled a large dossier about its membership.
It was the group leader’s daring of the laws of the land when he took a step to publicize their intention which led to his arrest and other members of the secession group.
Last Saturday, he stunned the nation when at a well-rehearsed public show he announced the secession of their Western Togoland from Ghana, a country which by their thinking covers part of the North West, Northern and Upper regions.
First Arrest
‘President’ Papavi and eight or so others were arrested in May 2019 and flown to Accra for calling for a secession. Many Ghanaians wondered why he would want to engage in such a complex criminality.
At the time of their first arrest, they were thought to be training some youth from that part of the country with military and police training so the ‘newly independent Western Togoland’ would have the critical complements of sovereign states.
When they were again grabbed in July 2019, the charges of treason, abetment of unlawful assembly and offensive conduct were preferred against them until the Attorney General’s intervention.
Derision
A picture of Papavi and some of his members derided as his cabinet went viral yesterday and continued to do so.
Everything about them creates fun among Ghanaians, although not so with the intelligence community watching their movements now that the leader himself is yet to be nabbed.
He was whisked away in a waiting car as soon as he declared Western Togoland independent. For many, that was the time the security agents should have picked him up not when he has gone into hiding.
While some think he is seeking shelter in the house of persons sympathetic to the cause of the Western Togoland in the outskirts of Ho, others think he could be on the fringes of the frontiers between Togo and Ghana.

1. What is AIS?¶
Inland AIS is based on the Maritime AIS. AIS uses radio technology. Through radio signals AIS stations, sometimes called AIS transponders, send out messages.
These messages can be received by all other AIS stations, on ships and onshore, in the vicinity of the sending station within VHF radio range. This happens automatically and periodically, with shorter or longer intervals.  Two special VHF radio channels are reserved to exchange AIS messages.
Certain hardware and software is needed for AIS. The hardware is an AIS station with built-in GPS. For a user-friendly presentation of the content of AIS messages, additional equipment (e.g. Inland ECDIS, see chapter 3) is needed.
The information in these messages includes the identity of the ship, the position, and other ship-related information (see chapter 2 for details). Some of the information, such as ship identity and position, is automatically broadcast. Other information, such as navigation status, destination, and dangerous cargo category (blue cones), can be input manually by the skipper. All data that is input manually has to be accurate and valid.
Warning
The following points should be considered when using information conveyed by AIS :
- Always bear in mind that other ships may not be equipped with AIS; an AIS station installed on another ship might transmit incomplete, erroneous or not updated information; AIS may fail; or AIS might be switched off.
- Not all shore infrastructures are equipped with AIS base stations, e.g. locks and Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) centres.
- Users should ensure that they are able to correctly interpret the data received.
- AIS is purely an additional source of information. It does not replace navigational aids such as radar, but is intended to support them.


Academics
Mala Group
The Mala Academic/Training Department works very closely with teachers for a common objective: to improve the quality of teaching and facilitate learning in every way. Our high quality, standardized curriculum has produced some of the best results in the country. The Academic /Training Department has a robust Professional Development Programme for teacher training and another support function is to provide subject specific Term wise CRP (Curriculum Resource Packs) Daily Lesson Plans (DLPs) and Monthly Unit plans to teachers.
Mala Group of school has integrates teaching, research and creative activities in an engaging, challenging and supportive learning environment to prepare productive citizens for Pakistan and the world. The basis of development of the plan is a set of values which are the fabric of the institution.
DLPs allow teachers to focus on lesson implementation; this helps in improving teaching standards by taking away the daily planning time and effort put in by the teachers for the lesson planning. DLPs have been structured around the Curriculum Resource Packs (CRPs) subjects and incorporate interactive teaching and learning approaches. Curriculum Resource Packs comprise of a scheme of studies related to a centralized book list of private and government publications. CRPs are developed for two terms respectively. The teachers use these CRPs and DLPs to ensure effective teaching and learning in the classrooms.

Recall that we consider the power spectrum of some measurable fluctuating quantity x(t), defined as
\[ y(\omega) = \int_0^T dt e^{i\omega t} x(t) \] \[ S(\omega) = \lim_{T \to \infty} \frac{1}{2\pi T} \left| y(\omega)\right|^2 \]
A little work can show is equal to the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function, $ x(t) x(t’) = C(t-t’) $.
We evaluate the correlation function of their Fourier transform (note $ x () $ is really $ x()$, the new transformed variable, I’ve dropped the tilde only out of laziness):
\[ \langle x(\omega) x(\omega') \rangle = \langle \int dt e^{i\omega t} x(t) \int dt' e^{i\omega' t'} x(t') \rangle \]
Bringing the expectation inside (by linearity) \[ \int dt \int dt' e^{i(\omega t+\omega' t')} \langle x(t) x(t') \rangle \]
Defining $ = t-t’\(, using the definition of the correlation function we have \)$ dt e^{i (+‘) t’} d e^{-i ’ } C() $$
And we see that the $ t $ integral is the (two pi times the) delta function, hence\[ \langle x(\omega) x(\omega') \rangle = 2 \pi \delta (\omega + \omega') \int d \tau e^{i \omega \tau} C(\tau) \]
Note that in the last step we use the fact that delta fn is zero except where $ = -’\(, and we _define_ this last integral as the Power spectrum, \) S()\(. Noting that as it is complex, \) x(-) = x(^*) $, so
\[ \langle x(\omega) x^*(\omega' ) \rangle = 2\pi \delta(\omega -\omega') S(\omega) \],
or at $ = -$, we have as claimed:
\[ \langle x(\omega) x^*(\omega) \rangle = 2\pi S(\omega) \].
Which is known as the Weiner Khinchine theorem. Time averaging over the stationary distribution instead of averaging across replicates gets us the above version. Getting this to work in the code has been less than successful.
A canonical example: our OU process case
For the OU process, we can write down the correlation function of the stationary distribution (or even the time-dependent solution if we wanted) directly from an application of the the Ito calculus, (see OU solution),
\[ C(\tau) = \frac{\sigma^2}{2\alpha} e^{-\alpha |\tau|} \],
We can compute the Fourier transform of this analytic solution by hand, and recover the Lorentzian curve,
\[ S(\omega) = \frac{\sigma^2}{\alpha^2 +\omega^2} \]
Troubles
I seem to be having difficulty demonstrating this in the simulation.:
Several practical concerns and options:
Accurate simulation of the OU process. As we know the solution, this can be simulated exactly. I’ve explored simulating it through simple Euler, the exact simulation, the analagous discrete time AR(1) process, and the general Milstein regime from the SDE R package. Some differences, particularly visible in Euler vs exact, in the power spectrum, but neither lining up perfectly with the theoretical curve above.
Discussion of normalization. The above Lorentzian is not normalized to integrate to unity, actually equals $ ^2/ $. However this should reflect the actual power calculated from the system above.
Discretization concerns.
Fourier definition concerns. The definition can differ by a factor of 2 pi between physics and engineers. Further, getting the units of the x-axis correct to line up frequencies with the correct components of the transform is crucial. As a quick check I confirm that the fft of a sine function gives me the peak at the angular frequency I expect:
n<- 2^10 dt<-1/8 t <- seq(0,dt(n-1), by=dt) X <- sin(5t) + rnorm(n, .01) pwr <- abs(fft(dtX))^2/(2pidtn) nyquist<-1/(2dt) # half the sampling frequency w <- nyquistseq(0, 2*pi, length=n/2) plot(w, pwr[1:(n/2)], type=“l”) abline(v=5, col=“red”, lty=3)
Anyway, still in the troubleshooting process, trying to keep exploration documented in the version commits of power_spec.R, so see code and commit log.
Some other notes
If we define the Power spectrum as the transform of $ C()$, then the inverse transform gives us (in Physics convention for Fourier)
\[ C(\tau) := \langle x(t) x(t') \rangle = \int_{-\inf}^{\inf} \frac{d \omega}{2 \pi} e^{-i \omega (t-t')} S(\omega) \]
and setting $ t = t’$ we have
\[ \langle [x(t) ]^2 \rangle = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{d \omega}{2 \pi} S(\omega) \]
Now if x(t) is Gaussian process, we can look at the transform of the errors. We note the transform of the Gaussian is Gaussian, taking the function that is normally distributed in x with variance $ ^2$ to one normally distributed in $ $ with variance $ /^3 $.


THE SHVITZ A film review by Linda Dubler Copyright 1995 Linda Dubler
Near the end of THE SHVITZ, a young man remembers a Yiddish word that the old ladies of his childhood used to express their appreciation of a visit to the steambaths. "It's such a mecheieh," they'd say as they splashed water on their ample bosoms, "such a pleasure." The same can be said of Jonathan Berman's intimate and affectionate film.   But to capture one's subject in such a relaxed and casual a way, to present what would legitimately be called oral history as a vivid and personal encounter, is a challenge that eludes many documentarians.
What makes countless non-fiction films feel dull is the sense that they are closed before they even open--they're codified, defined, set up to deliver information and a point of view in the manner of a dictionary or encyclopedia. THE SHVITZ is dynamic in part because it is structured as an inquiry. Berman opens with the most fundamental of questions--what is a shvitz? From there, the filmmaker launches into a search for the shvitz experience. First stop is Coney Island in the winter--a near empty boardwalk edged by graffiti-splashed facades. A conversation with a guy who remembers the golden era when there were forty bathhouses in Coney Island alone leads to a meeting with Ruby Jacobs, the owner of the Atlantis bar, who once owned a number of baths himself.
Archival footage transports us back to the shtetl (village), to the roots of the tradition. A remarkably fit and sharp-witted man in his eighties, the son of a cantor, recalls his first visit to the baths at age four--"I couldn't take it" he says. And then we're stepping through the unassuming doorway of the Hope Avenue Russian Steambaths, into the clutter of an ante room that looks surprisingly domestic. A few steps away lies the inner sanctum. It's a simple chamber where the patrons luxuriate like lazy walruses in the 260 degree heat, attended to by a skinny naked man in a hat shaped like a flower pot, who lathers them with oak leaves, splashes them with water, and at one point turns to the filmmaker and says in stunning deadpan, "Kinda hot in here."
Just as the advent of modern plumbing brought to an end the widespread enjoyment of the shvitz, air conditioning has shaped a new, less communal South. THE SHVITZ may be a film about a northern, urban, Jewish subculture, but the reason for its being--the need to celebrate and preserve disappearing traditions--is close to southerners. Like an eager grandson, Berman has asked the right questions and in THE SHVITZ he shares with us the loving answers.
