There is one uncontested observation in every port city: The air is poison.  Child asthma rates soar and life expectancy plummets. Los Angeles and Long Beach, the two busiest ports in the country, decided to do something about it in 2007.
The Clean Air Action Plan was the first significant piece of regulation introduced to the trucking industry since 1980. The ports required all companies to replace their drayage fleet -- clunkers a breath away from the junkyard -- with new models. But retrofitting some 10,000 trucks at about $110,000 each was no simple task. Most companies, while in support of the clean trucks, were not willing (or able) to pay for them. Who, then, would come to bear the burden of clean air?
Congress met in 2010 to see just how the harbor had fared and what became of independent contractors in the California dray.
MAY 2010 -- “We are called independent contractors, but all we are is employees with expenses,” Jose Covarrubias testified, waving a petition with more than 600 drivers’ signatures. He was in a suit, behind a microphone, at the end of a panel with other men in suits behind microphones. “Our bosses tell this lie so they can make us pay for the company trucks.” The bosses to his left looked forward.
The congressional subcommittee’s duty of the day was an assessment of the two-year-old environmental initiative at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, a plan that had since been tentatively adopted by New Jersey, New York, Seattle, and Tacoma; five of the country’s busiest port cities. All eyes were on California.
Ports had become the trucking industry’s notorious hospice, where trucks with two million miles on the odometer could make short drives through the dray with little risk. Emissions in Los Angeles and Long Beach had accounted for 21,000 early deaths, 190,000 sick days and 360,000 school absences every year, according to the California Air Resources Board. The American Journal of Public Health linked 9 percent of childhood asthma cases to the harbor. Not to mention what it’s done to dockworkers and drivers.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who ran on cleaning L.A.’s air, pulled together a team of experts and harbor commissioners to draft the Clean Air Action Plan. The basic goal: phase out the old trucks for cleaner new ones without devastating production.
Economist John Husing, one of the plan’s architects commissioned by the Harbor Trucking Association, came on to forecast the environmental plan’s financial impact. His job was twofold: clean the air and maintain efficiency. But he knew then that nobody inside the industry -- not companies and certainly not drivers -- could realistically absorb some $800 million in retrofits. More than 10,000 trucks needed to be replaced by $110,000 ones. “Given the weakened state of the sector,” Husing writes, “it seems almost impossible for the rules to be set in way that none of the players will be hurt.” The Teamsters slid into the conversation with reform: Make all of the independent contractors employees of their company, that way the cost won’t fall on individuals. This became known as the “employee mandate.”
Husing was not himself prepared to dive into the deep end of a decades-long labor war. “That issue is a pressure cooker,” he said later.
The five-year, $2 billion Clean Air Action Plan hit the harbor in 2007. The American Trucking Association promptly sued the city of Los Angeles. But not over the clean trucks. Just the employee mandate. The industry, backed by other stakeholders, from Target to the shipping lines, argued: federal legislation from the Motor Carrier’s Act prohibits the government from standardizing any trade industry. It’s anti-competitive and bad for business. The “patchwork regulatory structure,” the Chamber of Commerce said, would effectively undermine the free market encouraged by deregulation.
While the employee mandate jostled around the courts for four years, the environmental bit went on ahead, forcing an “existential decision” across the industry, as one company owner described it. How to drive brand new trucks without paying for them?
The solution was a half-baked compromise that has since brought port trucking to its boiling point: lease-to-own agreements in an industry with 100 percent turnover.
The solution: lease-to-own agreements; in an industry with almost 100 percent turnover. Then, two years later, after the consequences of the program had set in, the port truck drivers moved front and center.
“A lot of companies went to the leasing model because that was a way to keep drivers,” said Marqus Coleman, an operations manager at Quik Pick Express, which is currently defending a class action lawsuit. It’s big customer is Fiji Water. “It kind of bypassed the whole clean initiative. We’re still going to get our money just on the back end. We’re going to buy the truck and have you buy into it and it’s a win win for us.”

Two years after he signed -- “They told me I could only work there if I signed a lease” -- Covarrubias quit his job driving at the port. He had fallen behind on his mortgage, and the bank foreclosed. And because he was never an employee, he didn’t qualify for unemployment insurance. He moved his wife and three daughters into a two-bedroom apartment, dropping the dog off at the pound on the way.
Covarrubias quit because he received a paycheck from Southern Counties Express for $96. Then, the next week: negative $200. He owed his company money for failing to turn enough containers. Covarrubias’ company disputed his work hours. Successful contractors, companies argue, just work longer hours than the bad ones. “It depends on the individual,” one president said, “how hard he’s willing to work.” It’s the free market ethos born in 1981. But “this was not a free market,” said Fred Potter of the Teamsters. “He is captive.”
Potter called the model “sharecropping-on-wheels,” forcing drivers like Covarrubias to choose food for their family or truck maintenance. Joe Rajkovacz, then regulatory director at the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, is a longtime champion of independent contractors in trucking (and vocal critic of the Teamsters.) But even he said these agreements are “rent-to-own schemes,” “involuntary servitude” that “makes the payday loan industry look ethical.”
The language in the leases is ubiquitous across the industry: Drivers pay a flat lease rate every week (regardless of productivity), expenses on the truck, and insurance that only covers approved routes (so they can’t drive for another company). The company removes those deductions from their weekly check. Drivers are still paid by container and dispatched routes by the company, with no customer interaction -- some are fined for missing a container quota. Still on a 1099.
The clean truck program was a resounding environmental success. Air pollution emissions in the San Pedro complex dropped by 80 percent, two years ahead of schedule, while companies replaced some 7,000 trucks. The city even won an award from the EPA. But it came at a cost.
The ATA offered a 20 percent subsidy to the industry. But none of the lease agreements reviewed for this article suggested how, if at all, that subsidy might be passed on to the drivers. Several agreements just penciled in how many weeks it might take to pay off the lease: 260 weeks for $110,000. When pressed on the disappearing subsidies, John Holmes, then L.A. Port Director and another clean air architect, balked to the subcommittee chair Peter DeFazio (D) from Oregon:
DEFAZIO: “Have you required that [companies] discount the price for the amount of the subsidy if they are leasing the truck to an owner-operator?
HOLMES: The short answer is no, sir. We would like to think that—in our case, we provide funding only to the trucking companies— that they are passing any kind of subsidy on in terms of———
DEFAZIO: Like to think? I hope you are going to hang around for subsequent testimony, because I think that is kind of a pollyannaish view of the world here. I mean, why wouldn’t you require that they pass it through, that they don’t benefit from the subsidy?
HOLMES: To be very frank with you, sir, it is just something that we didn’t consider when we were setting up the process———
The leases’ details emerged over the course of the afternoon. Congress, a majority of Democrats, took the occasion to air out the industry’s laundry. What exactly had Covarrubias unknowingly signed up for?
Representative Jerrold Nadler (D) from New York worked over ATA vice president and attorney Robert Digges on the language in the agreements. Several of the leases stipulate that, should a driver break the contract, he’s on the hook for the remaining balance. “This would be totally coercive,” Nadler said, “Would it not be?” Digges conceded that much, “under the strict terms of your question.” DeFazio and others promised to subpoena the companies, investigate the lease agreements, and return to the issue after some of the confusion cleared.
NADLER: Many trucking companies now put drivers in company-owned trucks and pay them a flat percentage of the rate they receive from the shipper. With no ownership, lease, or any other legal interest in the truck, these drivers would normally be considered employed, showing up every day at the same company for the same jobs. But the companies brazenly force them to sign independent contract agreements and issue 1099s. Are you familiar with this practice?
DIGGES: I am not, and———
NADLER: You are not. If it exists, would you agree it is abhorrent?
DIGGES: I agree. We———
NADLER: Do you agree, yes or no?
DIGGES: Yes. American Trucking Associations does not———
NADLER: Excuse me, you have answered my question. I have a series of questions. You agree that it is abhorrent. It doesn’t exist. If it did, it is abhorrent. Thank you. Secondly, the majority of leases, we are told, explicitly prohibit drivers from using the leased truck to haul for more than one company. Is that true?
DIGGES: That is true.
NADLER: If that is true, isn’t this serfdom? You are an independent operator, but you can only work for one company? How are you in any sense an independent operator?
DIGGES: This is an important point because, under the Federal leasing rules, a motor carrier has to have exclusive use and possession and control of a truck during the period of the lease. That is designed to protect the public, to protect everyone———
NADLER: So under the law—I just want to get that straight. Under the law, the company has to have exclusive control of the truck during the period of the lease?
DIGGES: That is correct.
NADLER: So if I sign a lease for five years, I can only work for that company for five years?
DIGGES: You can break the lease and then you can go work for another company.
NADLER: Well, then how, under any stretch of the English language or of Federal law, could you consider that an independent operator?
Later that year, in 2010, the democrats lost the House majority. Port truck drivers haven’t come up again since. No investigations were launched or subpoenas issued from the subcommittee. “It was quite a show, though,” Rajkovacz later said, “Wasn’t it?”
OCTOBER 2015 -- About two dozen men walked in circles on a sun-splashed sidewalk. The union provided the tents, vests, transportation, burritos and picket signs: “We are all employees.” At one point, a maintenance man came outside with a ladder and hung a large white sign on the building’s south face: “XPO Logistics Owner-Operators Wanted.” They laughed at that, and continued to march in tight circles.
This was a Teamsters-organized event, one of many held, in concert, across the dray. The union has been trying to organize port drivers for decades, but only began seeing success in the wake of the clean air program. Those on both sides have described it as “an awakening.”
One of the strikers was Julio Garcia, a 54-year-old union hopeful with soft features, two kids and a sick wife who may need surgery (“right now, we’re keeping our fingers crossed and we are sticking to natural remedies.”) One study estimated that 90 percent of drayage drivers in the San Pedro complex don’t have health insurance of any kind for their family. Though, today, many may qualify for Medi-Cal if they report a low enough income.
“I’m renting. But my dream is to own a home for my kids.”Julio Garcia, independent port truck driver, Los Angeles, Calif.
Garcia, who has a wage claim pending with the labor commissioner, became involved in the misclassification campaign for a father’s reasons: health benefits, college savings for his kids, and a retirement plan. He also hopes to one day own a home. Like most of the port truck drivers now involved with the union campaign, Garcia said he was duped into thinking this job was a ticket to the middle class.
His company, XPO Logistics, has been an unwilling center of attention in port trucking, an industry it only last year got into after two big ticket acquisitions, namely Pacer Cartage and Harbor Rail Transit, both of which drew up lease agreements after the clean air program. It’s no secret the union and nonprofits have targeted the biggest dog in the yard.
The union’s communications and research partner is called the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy. LAANE has offices above Teamster Local 848 in Long Beach. Most from the industry have criticized the Teamster’s involvement and LAANE’s role as union recruitment efforts under the guise of labor justice. “To their credit,” said Weston LaBar, president of the Harbor Trucking Association, “it’s the best organizing effort they’ve had since the 1980s.”
“The truth is 80 percent [of independent contractors] resist being organized,” he said, referring to John Husing’s oft-cited driver survey conducted before the Clean Trucks Program flipped the industry on its head. (That figure comes from 32 percent of independent contractors responding that they would be unwilling to become an employee; 48 percent undecided.) The industry says small strikes like this one at XPO show that these are just unhappy campers, a loud minority handed a Teamsters megaphone. “This is your typical union bullying,” LaBar said.
Labor advocates argue that the numbers don’t back that up: Of the some-800 individual claims filed with the labor commissioner, “we’ve been involved with maybe 100,” Kaoosji said. Of the 25 class action lawsuits, “we’ve been involved with two.”
“It's not the Union running around lighting things on fire,” he added. "It's really on the companies to say, ‘What did we do to cause this?’”
The motivation behind the groundswell -- whether it’s organic (a Marxist sort of class consciousness) or labor organized -- may seem ancillary. But companies say that’s an important consideration when deciding how to respond. Either way; the hour has come. Almost 10 percent of truck drivers at the two biggest ports in the country are suing their bosses, for one reason or another. Smaller companies say that switching to employees isn’t practical, even if they wanted to. It would take a large player on the market -- like XPO -- to move the needle and realign prices to accommodate the new costs to companies. As is, the small companies don’t have leverage with retailers or shippers because the field is too competitive.
Gordon Devens, XPO’s chief legal officer, said for XPO to consider abandoning independent contractors on the waterfront, the company would have to first be convinced that a significant number of drivers is actually dissatisfied with their status as such. “They’ll have to vote with their feet.”
But right now, feet seem to be shuffling at XPO.
One of the biggest logistics outfits in the world, XPO is the only publicly held enterprise at the ports. A $4 billion company, XPO has 84,000 employees at 1,450 locations in 32 different countries. But in the dray, Devens said, it’s just another name on the side of a truck, a big fish in a big pond.
The industry expert said the company does not issue leases anymore, and he thinks many of the preexisting ones are coming to term. Still, he defends the impetus behind them. “[XPO] wanted to preserve [its] business and preserve their [the drivers'] business,” he said, speaking to the leases XPO inherited in the wake of the Clean Air Program. “[The company] fronted the cost of the trucks.”
“With the regulation and economic reality, [XPO] felt that it had no choice. It's a funny thing because that fact has been used against [them] in several of these suits. It’s sort of under the heading of no good deed goes unpunished.”
***
Like most after 2008, Pacer Cartage, now XPO’s subsidiary, created an internal finance company as part of its new leasing program, effectively becoming a financier for drivers without good enough credit to lease a truck on their own. The driver leased from this new company, on paper, and then leased the title back to Pacer.
Pacer’s program was so confusing that the court had trouble deciphering who actually owned the trucks: “Pacer International set up a company known as CTP which leased the trucks from Bank of America. CTP then leased the trucks to the drivers who in turn leased it to Pacer. Drivers never saw the master lease between Bank of America and CTP. Only two of the drivers had graduated high school and none spoke English very well and really did not understand the nature of the agreement.” The lease agreements, thick as bricks, were in English.
The drivers had no ownership over the equipment, the tool needed to perform a job on which the company depended. If CTP was late on payments to the bank, the truck could be repossessed from the driver, even if he kept his end of the deal.
The court went through an itemized list of control factors, the “economic realities test,” to measure which party -- driver or company -- had leverage in the relationship. Testimonies revealed that there were “consequences for refusing a load;” The trucks had mileage limits and container quotas; Violating either resulted in a fine and “remedial training;” The company’s insurance only covered company-approved routes -- a driver couldn't drive for another company; And rent was a flat rate to be paid regardless of how much he made.
“This,” the judge said, “hardly sounds like treatment of independent contractors.”
Every individual misclassification hearing and court case uses a complex matrix of factors because no all-inclusive definition of “employee” can be applied in broad strokes. The IRS has a different definition than the National Labor Relations Board, for instance. But they’re all vague enough to invite interpretation at every step.  Nonetheless, in sectors spread as thin as logistics, certain industries feel comfortable abandoning employees all together.
“I’ve tried to address subcontracting, which changes the competitive dynamics,” Wage and Hour Division Administrator David Weil said. His bureau is charged with enforcing the Fair Labor Standards Act nationally. Today’s climate “creates incentives to cut costs -- cut labor costs and not comply. It plays out in different ways.”
But so far in the dray, those circumstances have played out in one way: “Drivers were locked into the complex leasing agreements,” the judge told XPO, a far cry from the “rosy scenario of venture capitalists,” put forth by the defense. “The day the truck left the dealer, it had a negative equity situation.”
The court upheld the labor commissioner's judgement of about $300,000 to each driver in February. XPO has since appealed again, this time to the state Supreme Court.
Each case can seem like a windfall unto itself: after a driver establishes the misclassification, by law they are entitled to expenses taken from their weekly check, in addition to overtime and pay for rest breaks, which is why some of the assessments are so high. XPO takes issue with “the measure of damages” awarded. “We can accept their conclusion that the contractors are employees,” Devens said. “We don’t agree with it, but it doesn’t really matter what we think there. But the measure of damages simply doesn’t make sense.” He said the labor commissioner is essentially double dipping, reimbursing drivers for expenses for which they were already compensated.
David Gurley, a labor commissioner attorney who works exclusively on these cases, said that argument has come up and fallen down in court. The defense hasn’t proven adequate compensation was made. Gurley said the big awards are not meant to be “a message to the industry.” Rather, “it’s a straight legal analysis to what they’re entitled to under the law.”
The drivers on strike in front of XPO that Friday thought they’re entitled to something. XPO may not be issuing more leases, but much of its workforce in the dray is still tied to ones from years ago, still holding on to hope that they may one day own it. They’re quick to pull out pay stubs and show you a long list of deductions pulled from their paycheck every week. “It’s very frustrating,” Julio Garcia said. “It leaves you feeling desperate.”
The strike ended, somewhat abruptly, as planned: drivers can’t afford multiple days off. The union’s van pulled up to pack up the tent and signs. Before they left, the drivers walked back into the building -- the Teamsters were not allowed in -- and signed a work continuation agreement. They’d be driving again Monday.


Description: Selects all elements that are hidden.
Elements can be considered hidden for several reasons:
display
value of none
.type="hidden"
.Elements with visibility: hidden
or opacity: 0
are considered to be visible, since they still consume space in the layout. During animations that hide an element, the element is considered to be visible until the end of the animation. During animations to show an element, the element is considered to be visible at the start of the animation.
How :hidden
is determined was changed in jQuery 1.3.2. An element is assumed to be hidden if it or any of its parents consumes no space in the document. CSS visibility isn't taken into account (therefore $(elem).css('visibility','hidden').is(':hidden') == false
). The release notes outline the changes in more detail.
:hidden
is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using :hidden
cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM querySelectorAll()
method. To achieve the best performance when using :hidden
to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use .filter(":hidden").

Valerie's House helping kids learn to cope
by WFTX Digital TeamFORT MYERS, Fla. -- The holidays are a tough time for children who are coping with the loss of a loved one, and that's why a local organization is trying to raise awareness about children's grief.
Valerie's House had a grief support group Thursday night, so they could talk about the holidays.
The kids created memory boxes for the loved ones they have lost.
1 in 14 Florida children will experience the death of a parent or a sibling by the time they're 18 years old.
“It's important, grieving is important. And being able to do it the right way and not thinking you're alone, it's the best thing,” says Josselin Calderon, teen ambassador at Valerie’s House.
The center says without support and learning how to cope, kids are at a higher risk for emotional and behavioral issues down the road.
The group is building a facility in Fort Myers to help reach even more families.


Colts Announce Injury Update For RB Marlon Mack
by Andrew HolleranMarlon Mack was dominating through two-plus quarters against the Jacksonville Jaguars this afternoon. The Indianapolis Colts running back was arguably the best player on the field, rushing for more than 100 yards and a touchdown heading into the end of the third quarter.
The Colts’ running back has since left the game with a hand injury. The updates from Indianapolis are not good.
Mack has been ruled out of the rest of the game with a hand injury.
This is a significant loss for the Colts.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport hints that the hand injury might be a significant one for Mack, who has been having a great season.
Any kind of serious injury would be a huge blow to a Colts team making a push at the playoffs. Mack is on pace for more than 1,000 yards this season following a breakout campaign in 2018.
Indianapolis is currently leading Jacksonville, 17-7. The Colts could have a new update on Mack following the game.

Returns numpy arrays with indices for sig/ref state, subchannel, beam, IF.
When linear=True then a straight line fit is performed. This would be appropriate when the TSYS units are not kelvin but count or something else. The parameters are zero airmass power intercept and its standard deviation, and power per airmass and its standard deviation.
If the Tsys units are in K, then a linear=False fit is appropriate, which fits the data to a radiative transfer model. The returned parameters are then the system temperature above the atmosphere, its standard deviation, and the optical depth per airmass and its standard deviation. The average of the physical temperature of the atmosphere defaults to 250 K.

As a result of COVID-19 or the economic downturn have any of the following happened to you:
• Been stood down
• Lost your job
• Had shifts cut
• Lost or reduced work to care for young children
• Lost work due to self-isolation
Have your circumstances changed as a result of COVID-19 or the economic downturn? (E.g. have you been stood down, lost your job or had shifts cut?)

Bound (1996) A film review by Ben Hoffman Copyright 1996 Ben Hoffman
Exciting? Yes. Good story? Yes. Then what is my complaint? It is the gratuitous gore. Do the directors really have to show a pair of scissors, such as is used to cut twigs or small branches, while the gangsters cut off the fingers one by one of a suspected cheat?  I could have done with that.
Too bad because the story is a good thriller. Two women (Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly), in an attempt to outwit the male Mobsters makes for an exciting film. The two, who happen to be Lesbians, against the gangsters tosses in another angle in mobster films. But the film kept bugging me with all the shooting and blood and the aforementioned scissors and kept me from enjoying the film's story more.
An odd thing was the acting of Ceasar (sic) who seemed to be doing an imitation of Jack Nicholson right down to the whites in his eyeballs whenever he looked upward, a distinct Nicholson affectation.
I don't know whether or not I liked the film well enough to overcome the violence.

Higher order limb darkening¶
Here we’ll go over how to compute analytic light curves for stars with arbitrary order limb darkening.
Let’s begin by importing what we’ll need:
[1]:
import starry
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as pl
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit
For completeness, let’s begin by defining our polynomial limb darkening model. Recall that for quadratic limb darkening, the specific intensity of the star as a function of \(\cos\theta \equiv \mu\) is given by
\(\frac{I(\mu)}{I(1)} = 1 - u_1(1-\mu) - u_2(1-\mu)^2\)
We can generalize this to arbitrary order by writing
\(\frac{I(\mu)}{I(1)} = 1 - u_1(1-\mu) - u_2(1-\mu)^2 - u_3(1-\mu)^3 - \, ... - \, u_{l_\mathrm{max}}(1-\mu)^{l_\mathrm{max}}\)
or, in more compact form,
\(\frac{I(\mu)}{I(1)} = 1 - \sum_{l=1}^{l_\mathrm{max}}u_l(1-\mu)^l\)
[3]:
def IofMu(mu, *u):
"""Return the specific intensity as a function of `mu`."""
return (1 - np.sum([u[l] * (1 - mu) ** l for l in range(1, len(u))], axis=0))
Now say that we have the values of \(I(\mu)\) at specific values of \(\mu\) from an actual stellar model for a given type of star. Say we have ten measurements, equally spaced from \(\mu=1\) (the center of the disk) to \(\mu=0\) (the limb):
[4]:
mu = [1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0.0]
I = [1.0, 0.95904139, 0.91381385, 0.86332286, 0.80617997, 0.74036269,
0.66275783, 0.56820172, 0.44715803, 0.2787536, 0.0]
Obtaining a limb darkening model¶
Our task is to fit our model to these values and determine the coefficients \(u_l\) so we can compute transit light curves. One of the most common parametrizations in the literature is the quadratic limb darkening model, which is a function of only two coefficients: \(u_1\) and \(u_2\). Let’s use the curve_fit
function from scipy
to get the best-fitting quadratic model to our data:
[5]:
guess = [1, 0, 0]
u, _ = curve_fit(IofMu, mu, I, guess)
print(u)
[1. 0.08425405 0.84010058]
/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scipy/optimize/minpack.py:794: OptimizeWarning: Covariance of the parameters could not be estimated
category=OptimizeWarning)
Like any seasoned Python user, let’s ignore that warning and see how our model looks:
[6]:
fig, ax = pl.subplots(1, figsize=(8, 4))
ax.plot(mu, I, 'ko', label='Data')
mu_hires = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
ax.plot(mu_hires, IofMu(mu_hires, *u), label='Quadratic LD')
ax.set_xlim(1, 0)
ax.set_xlabel(r'$\mu$', fontsize=16)
ax.set_ylabel('Specific Intensity', fontsize=16)
ax.legend(loc='lower left')
pl.show()
Not terrible, but there’s some discrepancy, especially near the limb. But since the transit model for this type of limb darkening is analytic (Mandel & Agol 2002), this model is still widely used.
Fortunately, with starry, we can do a lot better. Note that we have 11 data points, so if we fit a 10th order limb darkening model, we can have it thread through every single data point exactly.*
**Having a model that fits your data exactly is usually not a good thing in astronomy, but since our “data” are actually a model output with no error bars, and since they’re evenly sampled, you’ll see that a polynomial fit is actually a fine way to interpolate between the points.*
[7]:
guess = [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
u10, _ = curve_fit(IofMu, mu, I, guess)
print(u10)
[ 1. 0.3808126 0.46161071 -3.17984934 20.52042657
-76.88780388<PHONE_NUMBER>6 -278.3376703<PHONE_NUMBER>5 -139.06500771
32.03477734]
/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scipy/optimize/minpack.py:794: OptimizeWarning: Covariance of the parameters could not be estimated
category=OptimizeWarning)
Again, let’s ignore the warning and plot both models to see how we did:
[8]:
fig, ax = pl.subplots(1, figsize=(8, 4))
ax.plot(mu, I, 'ko', label='Data')
mu_hires = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
ax.plot(mu_hires, IofMu(mu_hires, *u), label='Quadratic LD')
ax.plot(mu_hires, IofMu(mu_hires, *u10), label='10th order LD')
ax.set_xlim(1, 0)
ax.set_xlabel(r'$\mu$', fontsize=16)
ax.set_ylabel('Specific Intensity', fontsize=16)
ax.legend(loc='lower left')
pl.show()
Sweet – as expected, the 10th order model fits the data perfectly and the interpolation between points seems reasonable. No onto the magic part: transit light curves!
Computing transit light curves¶
Let’s compute a simple transit light curve for an edge-on hot Jupiter (\(r_o = 0.1\)). Let’s compute 10,000 points so we can also look at some speed tests:
[9]:
npts = 10000
r = 0.1
b = np.linspace(-1.5, 1.5, npts)
First, business as usual: instantiate the default Map
, assign the linear and quadratic limb darkening coefficients, and compute the transit flux. Recall that u[0]
is fixed so we never need to assign it.
[10]:
map = starry.Map()
map[1] = u[1]
map[2] = u[2]
%time flux = map.flux(xo=b, yo=0, ro=r)
CPU times: user 1.26 ms, sys: 48 µs, total: 1.31 ms
Wall time: 1.32 ms
OK, now let’s go bonkers and compute the transit flux for the 10th order limb darkening model.
[11]:
map10 = starry.Map(10)
map10[:] = u10[1:]
%time flux10 = map10.flux(xo=b, yo=0, ro=r)
CPU times: user 52.7 ms, sys: 286 µs, total: 53 ms
Wall time: 52.9 ms
[12]:
map10.flux(xo=0.009, yo=0, ro=r)
[12]:
0.9877984624871035
That took about 30 times longer, but it is still blazing fast. Let’s now plot and compare the two transit light curves:
[13]:
fig, ax = pl.subplots(2, figsize=(8, 7))
ax[0].plot(b, flux, '-', label='Quadratic LD')
ax[0].plot(b, flux10, '-', label='10th order LD')
ax[1].plot(b, flux - flux10, '-')
ax[0].legend(loc='lower left')
ax[0].set_ylabel('Flux', fontsize=16)
ax[1].set_ylabel('Relative error', fontsize=16)
ax[1].set_xlabel('Impact parameter', fontsize=16)
pl.show()
The difference isn’t huge in this case: the maximum relative error is about 300 ppm. This doesn’t matter for most applications, but it is noticeable by eye. As our instrumentation gets better (I’m thinking JWST!) this could become important.


Investment data last updated .
On November 5, 2013, residents of Grand Rapids voted in favor of a dedicated property millage for capital and pool operations, and major repair and rehabilitation of parks and playgrounds. The 7-year millage runs from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2021. This map show the parks of the City of Grand Rapids and the tax dollars invested in each one thus far.
Notice by the layer gadget in the upper-right corner that there are four types of parks: Community, Mini, Neighborhood, and Regional. These are color-coordinated with the markers on the map, as well as with the list of parks on the left side. The definition of each type of park is as follows:
The upper-right layer gadget also allows you to view neighborhood boundaries. When you select Neighborhoods, you will see a legend in the lower-left corner explaining the meaning of the various colors of the neighborhoods. Additionally, when you hover over (or "touch" on mobile devices) any neighborhood, that neighborhood's details will show in this legend.
The City of Grand Rapids has 3 wards (representational boundaries created by City government), that will show when this layer is selected. This layer works much like the neighborhood layer, explained above.

Evaluation metrics¶
This provides the explanation and equation of the evaluation metrics implemented
in the backtester. The code could be found in
code/evalaute.py
in the repository.Portfolio return¶
Definition
Portfolio return is the percentage change in total value of the portfolio.
\[\text{Portfolio return} = \frac{\text{Current portfolio value} - \text{Previous portfolio value}}{\text{Previous portfolio value}} \times 100%\]
Sharpe ratio¶
Definition
Sharpe ratio computes the ratio of the return of an investment to its risk.
Mathematically, it is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of total volatility.
\[\begin{split}\text{Sharpe Ratio} &= \frac{R_p - R_f}{\sigma_p} \\
\\
R_p &= \text{Portfolio return} \\
R_f &= \text{Risk-free rate} (assumed = 0 in the function)\\
\sigma_p &= \text{Portfolio risk, i.e. standard deviation}\end{split}\]
Maximum drawdown (MDD)¶
Definition
Maximum drawdown (MDD) measures the maximum observed loss from a peak to
a trough of a portfolio. It is an indicator of downside risk over the given time period.
\[\begin{split}\text{MDD} &= \frac{\text{P} - \text{T}}{\text{P}} \\
\\
\text{P} &= \text{Peak value before largest drop} \\
\text{L} &= \text{Lowest value before newest high established}\end{split}\]
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)¶
Definition
Compoumd Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) describes the rate at which an investment
would have grown if it had grown the same rate every year and the profits
were reinvested at the end of each year.
It is used to smooth returns so that they may be more easily understood
when compared to alternative investments. Risk is not taken into account.
\[\text{CAGR} = \left(\frac{\text{Ending portfolio value}}{\text{Beginning portfolio value}}\right)^{252 \;\div\; \text{number of days}} - 1\]
Note that “number of days” refers to the time span of the portfolio, and
252 is the total number of trading days in one year.
Standard Deviation¶
Definition :class: myOwnStyle
Standard Deviation measures the dispersion of the historical portfolio values
relative to its mean. A higher standard deviation infers higher volatility.
\[\begin{split}\text{SD} &= \sqrt{\frac{\sum (r_i - r_{avg})^2 }{n-1}} \\
\\
r_i &= \text{Portfolio daily return} \\
r_{avg} &= \text{Mean of portfolio daily returns}\end{split}\]
Note that sample SD is used, and thus the degree of freedom equals n-1 in the equation.

Fresh pasta with red mullet, garlic and chilli – a beautiful fresh dish for spring and summer.
For the pasta, blend the flour and eggs in a food processor to fine crumbs, then add the olive oil and salt and pulse to just combine.
Remove the mixture from the processor, and pull the dough together into a ball. Knead the dough until smooth.
Wrap the pasta dough in cling film and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Once rested, take the dough out of the fridge and roll out to about 1cm/½in thick.
Pass the rolled dough through a pasta machine, starting with the widest setting, and reducing the setting each time until on the finest setting.
Change to the linguine cutter on the pasta machine and pass the pasta through once more.
Weigh out about 35g/1¼oz of pasta per person.,Hang the remaining pasta over the back of a chair and allow to dry.
For the sauce, heat a frying pan until hot, add the olive oil, chilli and garlic and gently fry until just softened.
Add the red mullet and gently fry for a couple of minutes, then add the white wine and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced.
Add the stock to the mullet and cook until reduced again.
Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook until it floats to the surface and is just tender.
Drain the pasta and stir straight into the sauce.
Finish with the herbs and lemon zest then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Press release
Learner View: helping learners have a voice
Learner View, a website enabling learners to rate their further education and skills provider launches today.
Learners’ views are vital to Ofsted during an inspection and this
new website
enables them to give their views all year round. It not only gives valuable information to Ofsted but will also be of interest to other learners and providers who will be able to access this feedback in real-time.
National Director for Learning and Skills, Matthew Coffey said:
I encourage everyone attending a college or work based learning provider to fill out the questionnaire – it takes less than five minutes and could make a really positive difference. Learners’ views are crucial to Ofsted and under-pin all the work we do. By filling out the short questionnaire you will be contributing to a bank of knowledge which will help providers continue to improve.
Learner View asks whether learners would recommend their education provision, if lessons are taught well and if their programme or course is preparing them well enough for their chosen next steps. This information will inform inspectors’ decisions about whether courses are effective in leading learners in the right direction either to employment or further study.
Learner View will enable anyone to see what learners think of any provider in England – providing valuable information when choosing where to study or train. When Ofsted inspects colleges or other skills provision, inspectors will continue to speak to learners to understand their views and experiences but the information on the site will provide inspectors with a valuable additional source of information about learners’ views across the provision.
Each learner’s response on Learner View will be confidential. Ofsted will not tell colleges or skills providers the names of any of the learners who have completed the survey.
If you are a learner and would like to take part in the survey to rate your further education and skills provider please go to the following link and register your details:
www.learnerview.ofsted.gov.uk
.
Notes to editors
-
Ofsted takes security issues very seriously and this is why we have taken the time to ensure robust measures are in place to guard against the inappropriate use of Learner View. Along with a number of other measures, the site will require learners to enter an email address and password to complete the questionnaire. If someone does fill out the questionnaire more than once using the same email address, the previous entries will be overwritten.
-
Learner View will not be available to pupils in school sixth forms as schools are inspected under the Schools Inspection Framework. Ofsted already gathers the views of parents whose children attend school sixth forms as part of Parent View.
-
The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) regulates and inspects to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people, and in education and skills for learners of all ages. It regulates and inspects childcare and children’s social care, and inspects the Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service (Cafcass), schools, colleges, initial teacher training, work-based learning and skills training, adult and community learning, and education and training in prisons and other secure establishments. It assesses council children’s services, and inspects services for looked after children, safeguarding and child protection.
-
Further education and skills providers are defined by being wholly or partially in receipt of public funds from the Education Funding Agency (EFA) or the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) or both. Providers can be: General FE Colleges, Sixth Form Colleges, Specialist Colleges, Community Learning and Skills Providers, Independent Learning Providers or Employer Providers.


Everything in the site is clear, I don't know what are you still looking for. If you still have any questions plese visit my Happy club.


We are back with another update and moar bugs and that will cause moar wailings from you poor users. Well, just like always started with a really poor joke. This update is a very small follow up with few important features. I will not be wasting much time and get straight to the major changes that were made for this release.
See an ad first :P
Okay good, so what we have new in this release..
Now getting to the main thing, If you are a developer with an FOD supported device and want to add support for FOD icon picker and animations you will need to do the following
export EXTRA_FOD_ANIMATIONS=true
The above flag will build the standalone FOD animations resources needed for showing effects. In addition to that flag you will also need to have this config
in your device tree, Link to commit. If you don't add it
then FOD icon picker will be missing from Sakura Settings.
So, That was everything for this small release and see ya all in April. Also, If you like how hard I work to bring you awesome and absolutely free software, you can go ahead and gift me some coffee, Buy me a coffee.
Well, this was it for this update and if you find any bugs do report it to us with logcat coz Logcat or gtfo. As always do follow us on twitter @ProjectSakura_ coz we keep posting fun stuff on it ;)
One more ad lol.

Which authentication and authorization protocols Auth0 supports and how they work.
Auth0 implements proven, common and popular identity protocols used in consumer oriented web products (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC)) and in enterprise deployments (SAML, WS-Federation, LDAP).
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to resources the end-user owns. It is about resource access and sharing.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 framework. It allows third-party applications to verify the identity of the end-user and to obtain basic user profile information. At the core, OIDC is about user authentication.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based framework for authentication and authorization between two entities: a Service Provider and an Identity Provider. The Service Provider agrees to trust the Identity Provider to authenticate users. The Identity Provider authenticates users and provides to Service Providers an Authentication Assertion that indicates a user has been authenticated.
WS-Federation is part of the larger WS-Security framework and an extension to the functionality of WS-Trust. The features of WS-Federation can be used directly by SOAP applications and web services.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol, used for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

Hike is a new kind of a messaging app that is changing the way people connect with one another and simplifying the way they interact with content and services on mobile.
At 100 million users exchanging 40 billion messages/month (Jan'16), and growing each day, Hike is working at a scale that no other Indian internet company today is.
The key to Hike's hyper growth has been its ability to continuously re-organize itself and build a self-learning culture, something they continue to evolve and better everyday.
Driving autonomy, alignment to Hike's mission, imbibing the internal culture and values, were all fundamental to this continuous change.
Hear Kavin Bharti Mittal, Founder and CEO, Hike Messenger share his story on how he is building a self-learning organization and the role Agile plays in it.
Over 15M users India is a very different place.
You can organize small, 15 ppl company top down, but not when you already have 40 ppl.
- They have not noticed that their application is very slow on GPRS/2G networks and old phones and back then that was the majority of the market.
- Squads - PO (Product Owner) - A Squad is a cross-functional team that can operate independently insidethe company. They created 4 squads.
- The browser and the TAB has replaced the shrinkwrap applications on Desktop. On mobile we still install individual apps for everything.
- Now they hae 250 in 12 squads
- The problem with squads is that they optimize for local maximum. They don't communicate among themselves.
- Chapters are horizontal group: Design chapter, Android Chapter.
- Each chapter has weekly meetings talking about what they were building. That helps reduce duplication and increases cooperation between squads for code reuse and for APIs.
- The PO of each squad is a mini-entrepreneur. The Chapter leader of each chapter is like a mini-professor.
- Squaads themselves become siloed teams. Chapters solved the problem.
- Teams need Autonomy and Alignment
- Squadify ???
- 100 M+ users, 40B messages / month, 120 min / week inside the application
Hike Core value (explained at 44:00)
- Maniacal abour our mission
- Obsess to deliver Wow
- Solve for the User first
- Autonomy and ownership
- Obsess over metrics
- unreasonably high-bar on people
- Individual mastery
- Fierce sense of urgency
- Questions Status Quo
- Company > Team > Self
- Make memories and have fun
Intuition does not scale

An ordinary lambda list is used to describe how a set of arguments is received by an ordinary function. The defined names in the next figure are those which use ordinary lambda lists:
define-method-combination handler-case restart-case defun labels flet lambda
Figure 3-12. Standardized Operators that use Ordinary Lambda Lists
An ordinary lambda list can contain the lambda list keywords shown in the next figure.
&allow-other-keys &key &rest &aux &optional
Figure 3-13. Lambda List Keywords used by Ordinary Lambda Lists
Each element of a lambda list is either a parameter specifier or a lambda list keyword. Implementations are free to provide additional lambda list keywords. For a list of all lambda list keywords used by the implementation, see lambda-list-keywords.
The syntax for ordinary lambda lists is as follows:
lambda-list::= (var* [&optional {var | (var [init-form [supplied-p-parameter]])}*] [&rest var] [&key {var | ({var | (keyword-name var)} [init-form [supplied-p-parameter]])}* [&allow-other-keys]] [&aux {var | (var [init-form])}*])
A var or supplied-p-parameter must be a symbol that is not the name of a constant variable.
An init-form can be any form. Whenever any init-form is evaluated for any parameter specifier, that form may refer to any parameter variable to the left of the specifier in which the init-form appears, including any supplied-p-parameter variables, and may rely on the fact that no other parameter variable has yet been bound (including its own parameter variable).
A keyword-name can be any symbol, but by convention is normally a keyword[1]; all standardized functions follow that convention.
An ordinary lambda list has five parts, any or all of which may be empty. For information about the treatment of argument mismatches, see Section 3.5 (Error Checking in Function Calls).
<IP_ADDRESS> Specifiers for the required parameters
<IP_ADDRESS> Specifiers for optional parameters
<IP_ADDRESS> A specifier for a rest parameter
<IP_ADDRESS> Specifiers for keyword parameters
<IP_ADDRESS> Specifiers for &aux variables

The Little Lame Prince
by Maria Dinah Mulock Craik
The Little Lame Prince and his Travelling Cloak (often published under its shorter title The Little Lame Prince) is a story for children written by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik and first published in 1875. In the story, a young prince whose legs are paralysed due to a childhood trauma is given a magical travelling cloak by his fairy godmother; he uses this cloak to go on various adventures, and develops great wisdom and empathy in the process.
Source: Craik M. D. (1875). The Little Lame Prince.London, England: Ludgate Hill.
- Chapter 1

- Chapter 3
- We find that young Prince Dolor is not dead, but living with a nurse in Nomansland (a deserted country). His uncle faked the funeral having a wax figure of the Prince created. Dolor meets his godmother and she gives him a traveling cloak.
- Chapter 4
- Dolor would hide the traveling cloak in the cupboard. His godmother introduces herself as Stuff and Nonsense. She showed the young prince the mysteries of the cloak—which he didn’t understand at all.
- Chapter 5
- Prince Dolor finds that the magical traveling cloak can fly and can grant his wishes. He receives a pair of golden spectacles to see things he’d never seen before.
- Chapter 6
- The cloak takes him to other countries and he receieves a pair of silver ears (which will let him hear things he’d never heard before). He also sees another boy for the first time.
- Chapter 7

My Main task was to develop a WebApp for the internal use of the company. The data with respect to employees and their CO’s is required for preparation/compilations of various records. Based on the information received from the concerned department the reports received are generated on monthly basis. The software program that I have devised will help to maintain a database of the CO’s of all the employees. This will ensure easy update and maintenance of CO’s.
The basic approach was to understand the java functionalities. This projects uses the MIDI file API to produce the beats or notes and hence allows the users to choose from a set of different nodes. This thus playing the pattern continuously until users interfere. This project also supported the simple chat system between different users to give a sense of better tune and real life chatting experience.

Classes are used in Ruby to group together similar objects. Classes include variables that are associated with a specified instance of the class, and methods work with those variables to do something. Classes are defined by using the word "class" followed by a Class_Name. There is one parent class which inherits the methods defined within and can contain a number of child classes.
The best way to demonstrate how a class works is to provide an example. The example I am going to use will allow for my puppy to be fed and taken out based on how she is responding.
Now that we have created a class, subclass, instance variables, and methods that work on those variables, we can type driver code to test our program.
Below are the results that are printed to the console when we call the commands, with the specific arguments above.
