Python SetThe set in python can be defined as the unordered collection of various items enclosed within the curly braces. The elements of the set can not be duplicate. The elements of the python set must be immutable. Unlike other collections in python, there is no index attached to the elements of the set, i.e., we cannot directly access any element of the set by the index. However, we can print them all together or we can get the list of elements by looping through the set. Creating a setThe set can be created by enclosing the comma separated items with the curly braces. Python also provides the set method which can be used to create the set by the passed sequence. Example 1: using curly bracesOutput: {'Friday', 'Tuesday', 'Monday', 'Saturday', 'Thursday', 'Sunday', 'Wednesday'} <class 'set'> looping through the set elements ... Friday Tuesday Monday Saturday Thursday Sunday Wednesday Example 2: using set() methodOutput: {'Friday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Saturday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Sunday'} <class 'set'> looping through the set elements ... Friday Wednesday Thursday Saturday Monday Tuesday Sunday Python Set operationsIn the previous example, we have discussed about how the set is created in python. However, we can perform various mathematical operations on python sets like union, intersection, difference, etc. Adding items to the setPython provides the add() method which can be used to add some particular item to the set. Consider the following example. Example:Output: printing the original set ... {'February', 'May', 'April', 'March', 'June', 'January'} Adding other months to the set... Printing the modified set... {'February', 'July', 'May', 'April', 'March', 'August', 'June', 'January'} looping through the set elements ... February July May April March August June January To add more than one item in the set, Python provides the update() method. Consider the following example. ExampleOutput: printing the original set ... {'January', 'February', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'March'} updating the original set ... printing the modified set ... {'January', 'February', 'April', 'August', 'October', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'September', 'March'} Removing items from the setPython provides discard() method which can be used to remove the items from the set. Consider the following example. ExampleOutput: printing the original set ... {'February', 'January', 'March', 'April', 'June', 'May'} Removing some months from the set... Printing the modified set... {'February', 'March', 'April', 'June'} looping through the set elements ... February March April June Python also provide the remove() method to remove the items from the set. Consider the following example to remove the items using remove() method. ExampleOutput: printing the original set ... {'February', 'June', 'April', 'May', 'January', 'March'} Removing some months from the set... Printing the modified set... {'February', 'June', 'April', 'March'} We can also use the pop() method to remove the item. However, this method will always remove the last item. Consider the following example to remove the last item from the set. Output: printing the original set ... {'June', 'January', 'May', 'April', 'February', 'March'} Removing some months from the set... Printing the modified set... {'May', 'April', 'February', 'March'} Python provides the clear() method to remove all the items from the set. Consider the following example. Output: printing the original set ... {'January', 'May', 'June', 'April', 'March', 'February'} Removing all the items from the set... Printing the modified set... set() Difference between discard() and remove()Despite the fact that discard() and remove() method both perform the same task, There is one main difference between discard() and remove(). If the key to be deleted from the set using discard() doesn't exist in the set, the python will not give the error. The program maintains its control flow. On the other hand, if the item to be deleted from the set using remove() doesn't exist in the set, the python will give the error. Consider the following example. ExampleOutput: printing the original set ... {'March', 'January', 'April', 'June', 'February', 'May'} Removing items through discard() method... printing the modified set... {'March', 'January', 'April', 'June', 'February', 'May'} Removing items through remove() method... Traceback (most recent call last): File "set.py", line 9, in Union of two SetsThe union of two sets are calculated by using the or (|) operator. The union of the two sets contains the all the items that are present in both the sets. Consider the following example to calculate the union of two sets. Example 1 : using union | operatorOutput: {'Friday', 'Sunday', 'Saturday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Monday', 'Thursday'} Python also provides the union() method which can also be used to calculate the union of two sets. Consider the following example. Example 2: using union() methodOutput: {'Friday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Thursday', 'Wednesday', 'Sunday', 'Saturday'} Intersection of two setsThe & (intersection) operator is used to calculate the intersection of the two sets in python. The intersection of the two sets are given as the set of the elements that common in both sets. Consider the following example. Example 1: using & operatorOutput: {'Martin', 'David'} Example 2: using intersection() methodOutput: {'Martin', 'David'} The intersection_update() methodThe intersection_update() method removes the items from the original set that are not present in both the sets (all the sets if more than one are specified). The Intersection_update() method is different from intersection() method since it modifies the original set by removing the unwanted items, on the other hand, intersection() method returns a new set. Consider the following example. Output: {'castle'} Difference of two setsThe difference of two sets can be calculated by using the subtraction (-) operator. The resulting set will be obtained by removing all the elements from set 1 that are present in set 2. Consider the following example. Example 1 : using subtraction ( - ) operatorOutput: {'Thursday', 'Wednesday'} Example 2 : using difference() methodOutput: {'Thursday', 'Wednesday'} Set comparisonsPython allows us to use the comparison operators i.e., <, >, <=, >= , == with the sets by using which we can check whether a set is subset, superset, or equivalent to other set. The boolean true or false is returned depending upon the items present inside the sets. Consider the following example. Output: True False False FrozenSetsThe frozen sets are the immutable form of the normal sets, i.e., the items of the frozen set can not be changed and therefore it can be used as a key in dictionary. The elements of the frozen set can not be changed after the creation. We cannot change or append the content of the frozen sets by using the methods like add() or remove(). The frozenset() method is used to create the frozenset object. The iterable sequence is passed into this method which is converted into the frozen set as a return type of the method. Consider the following example to create the frozen set. Output: <class 'frozenset'> printing the content of frozen set... 1 2 3 4 5 Traceback (most recent call last): File "set.py", line 6, in <module> Frozenset.add(6) #gives an error since we can change the content of Frozenset after creation AttributeError: 'frozenset' object has no attribute 'add' Frozenset for the dictionaryIf we pass the dictionary as the sequence inside the frozenset() method, it will take only the keys from the dictionary and returns a frozenset that contains the key of the dictionary as its elements. Consider the following example. Output: <class 'dict'> <class 'frozenset'> Name Country ID Python Built-in set methodsPython contains the following methods to be used with the sets.

String-based templates replace strings or text templates with the dynamic data from your models.
Pros: performance (debatable)
Cons: difficult to debug control flow logic.
Example: Handlebars.js


The 50th uniform polyhedron is the Icositruncated dodecadodecahedron; it has Wythoff symbol 5/3 3 5|. Its dual is the tridyakisicosahedron. The pattern of polygons round each vertex is (10/3,6,10); its symmetry group is the icosahedral group A5.
It has:
Euler characteristic: -16
Density: 4
Number of vertices: 120
Number of edges: 180
Number of faces: 44 (=1210and 20 hexagons and 1210/3).
Note: a polygon a/b means a shape made by taking a points and joining every bth of them; for instance 5/2 means a five-pointed star made by taking five points and joining every second point.

One of his everyday rituals is running off and barking in the back garden when the front door opens as someone comes in. When he was younger he enjoyed stealing socks and used tissues. He's friendly with cats, babies and adult humans. Does not like the reindeer figure. You need permission to touch his toys. Will not get off the sofa even if you ask.
She once ate an entire, fully decorated gingerbread house (except the glacier mints which she'd licked and spat back out. She farted gingerbread for days.  She dislikes wearing the Christmas outfits we try to get to her to wear every year (except her Christmas jumper which she actually quite likes).
This is Arya. Despite her size, she makes a lot of noise. Her favorite thing to do when she shows affection is chewing your fingers or nose. She likes to be pampered and wear lots of accessories.
This is Woofer. 4 years old but still a puppy. When he is not eating he likes to whine for going on walks or crying to his toys because they do not respond to his callings. If it rains he will be under ANY bed or table and does not let anyone sleep. He thinks he is fierce but one time he got chased by a chicken!!!!
This is Brak. When he was a puppy he was rescued from a garbage bin. Now he lives his life to the fullest!!! He likes to run, be petted, chase cats and dig holes in the backyard!
This is Rookie.  He is a master of cuteness and it ’s very hard to resist him whenever he wants something.


Percentage of land area that is classified as vacant
Land that is undeveloped or otherwise empty of any taxable structure is becoming scarce in Mecklenburg County. As the population grows, more housing and services are needed to support the influx of new people and growing businesses, all of which require space. Change in the percentage of vacant land reflects the pace of growth.
Existing vacant land ranges from small parcels nested in the heart of urban neighborhoods to large tracts of land outside of city limits. No matter where the land is located, however, zoning regulations are in place to guide future developments. While developing land adds to its value and increases the local tax base, development must be balanced with the preservation of land for natural areas and open space.
####How are we doing? Mecklenburg County is projected to reach build-out by 2025. As of 2013, 18.2% of land in Mecklenburg County was classified as vacant. Land development and construction slowed during the economic recession, and some land slated for development was instead purchased and preserved. Mecklenburg County's 2008 Park & Recreation Master Plan called for 9,747 acres of land to be acquired by 2018 for parks and nature preserves. As of 2014, approximately 1,000 acres of land had been acquired, just 10% of the goal.
####Did you know? Mecklenburg County developed acreage per person is 0.23, only slightly higher than the national metro area average of 0.22 acres per person.

Residential New Construction
Impervious Surface

Total area of tax parcels classified as vacant divided by total land area. Vacant land was classified as part of an existing land use survey conducted by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department through a variety of sources including tax data, building codes, existing datasets (e.g., parks, daycare locations, threatened agriculture), aerial imagery, and field verification.

Building from source on Mac OSX¶
Note
This document has not been maintained and is retained for reference only. For building on macOS, please see quickstart-mac.
These instructions describe how to build NumPy and SciPy libraries from source.
If you just want to use NumPy or SciPy, install pre-built binaries as described in installing-upgrading.
Python¶
Apple ships its own version of Python with OS X. However, we strongly recommend installing the official Python distribution.
Alternatively, use Python from one of the OS X package managers (Homebrew, MacPorts, Fink).
Compilers (C/C++/FORTRAN/Cython)¶
Though virtually any commercial C/C++ compiler may be used with SciPy, Clang C/C++ compiler, which is a Xcode command line tool, can be used for OS X. The only thing missing is the GNU FORTRAN compiler.
We recommend gfortran; this is a free, open source, F95 compiler. We suggest you use the following binaries:
gfortran installed via Homebrew, or,
http://r.research.att.com/tools/gcc-42-5666.3-darwin11.pkg (for Xcode 4.2 or higher)
See this site for the most recent links.
Unless you are building from released source packages, the Cython compiler is also needed.
BLAS/LAPACK Installation¶
You will also need to install a library providing the BLAS and LAPACK interfaces. ATLAS, OpenBLAS, and MKL all work. OpenBLAS can be installed via Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>.
As of SciPy version 1.2.0, we do not support compiling against the system Accelerate library for BLAS and LAPACK. It does not support a sufficiently recent LAPACK interface.
Version-specific notes¶
This section notes only things specific to one version of OS X or Python. The build instructions in Obtaining and Building NumPy and SciPy apply to all versions.
Obtaining and Building NumPy and SciPy¶
You may install NumPy and SciPy either by checking out the source files or downloading a source archive file from GitHub. If you choose the latter, simply expand the archive (generally a gzipped tar file), otherwise check out the following branches from the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/numpy/numpy.git
$ git clone https://github.com/scipy/scipy.git
Both NumPy and SciPy are built as follows:
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
The above applies to the official Python distribution, which is 32-bit only for 2.6 while 32/64-bit bundles are available for 2.7 and 3.x. For alternative 64-bit Pythons (either from Apple or home-built) on Snow Leopard, you may need to extend your build flags to specify the architecture by setting LDFLAGS and FFLAGS.
Note that with distutils (setup.py) given build flags like LDFLAGS do not extend but override the defaults, so you have to specify all necessary flags. Only try this if you know what you’re doing!
After a successful build, you may try running the built-in unit tests for SciPy:
$ python
>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.test('full')
>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.test()
Be sure not to import numpy or scipy while you’re in the numpy/scipy source tree. Change directory first.
If you have any problems installing SciPy on your Mac based on these instructions, please check the scipy-users and scipy-dev mailing list archives for possible solutions. If you are still stuck, feel free to join scipy-users for further assistance. Please have the following information ready:
Your OS version
The versions of gcc and gfortran and where you obtained gfortran
$ gcc --version
$ gfortran --version
The versions of numpy and scipy that you are trying to install
The full output of
$ python setup.py build

Initially, there were no such animals as budgets in American legislatures. The various appropriations committees simply spent money. When they ran out of money—and they seldom did—they just stopped spending. Government was then a mere shell of what it is today and therein lies the rationale behind the complex budgetary and spending processes of modern legislatures. Because spending has passed the trillion dollar mark, budgets have become colossal undertakings requiring both branches involved to devote hundreds of staff full-time to their creation.
The reason for the complexity of the budget process stems from the nature of twentieth-century government itself. After the First World War, government's reach began extending. No longer was government simply responsible for maintaining the military and ensuring order, it was responsible for one's livelihood as well as failure avoidance. Programs multiplied and special interests were created. Since there is so much involved in passing a budget and every line item is potentially contentious, special rules and procedures were enacted to streamline the process—so that Congress is not occupied solely with devising a budget.
There is, though, another reason for the budgetary processes of today—the deficit. The deficit is the difference between how much the government extracts from the private sector in tax revenues and how much it spends. Deficits during the latter half of the twentieth century have soared to hundreds of billions of dollars. Deficits are very unpopular with constituents, but so is reduced spending. Therefore, special rules and processes were implemented to reduce deficits in the face of great reluctance to do so on the part of individual Congressmen.
The focus of this essay is on these very same special processes. First, I will examine the various House and Senate budget procedures. Then, I will show their evolution over time. Finally, I will discuss their effectiveness at reducing the deficit. In so doing, I will elucidate the reasons such processes are needed.
The basic framework of the budget enaction process was enumerated in the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974—hereinafter the Budget Act. It required that a nonbinding budget resolution be passed by both houses in May setting forth targets for expenditures and revenues and the consequent deficit or surplus. Then the various appropriations committees would pass the appropriations bills for all of the federal programs. Sometime in September, the houses would pass another budget resolution that defined specific spending ceilings. The various appropriations committees would then 'reconcile' their spending bills with the finalized spending amounts of the second budget resolution. It also set the deadline for reconciliation at October 1st.
In addition to the budget deadlines, the Budget Act also created a few entities. It established a House and Senate Budget Committee. These committees were responsible for writing the budget resolutions to be presented to Congress and for packaging all the different reconciliation bills of the various committees into the final reconciliation bill. It also created the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) which was charged with providing Congress with budget analysis and economic forecasting to compare with the executive branch's Office of Management and Budget.
Finally, the Budget Act laid out restrictions on floor procedure. The Act barred nongermane amendments in the Senate, set a time limit on debate of twenty hours for floor debate, and, consequently, obviated the threat of filibuster or amendment-packing. The House simply had a time restriction on floor debate and a limitation on the number of amendments to be offered, since House rules already prohibited nongermane amendments. All these provisions form the basic budget process. That said, there have been many important modifications and evolutions since 1974.
The first major modification occurred a mere six years after the Budget Act. Then President Carter needed to implement policy changes that included unpopular budget cuts. The normal process for enacting these changes would have been untenable, since serious changes would have resulted during committee markup and passage was uncertain due to the innumerable special interests affected by the changes. In order to circumvent these obstacles, Carter and the Congressional party leadership included reconciliation instructions in the first budget resolution. This gave the appropriations committees an absolute spending level from the word go. The second budget resolution, required in the Budget Act, became irrelevant and was totally discontinued. In the end, Carter got his programs through and the deficit was reduced.
Carter's success at policy implementation through budgetary means was not lost on future Presidents and party leaders. President Reagan used it to increase military spending and decrease spending in a number of other areas for 1982. President Clinton used it extensively in the year after his election, 1993. Even though he had a Democratic Congress, he faced an uphill battle enacting his campaign promises because many of the provisions were unpopular even with Democrats. Conventional means of getting his program adopted were out of the question since Republicans would filibuster in the Senate and amend in the House.
So, he followed the leads of Carter and Reagan and got his program installed in the budget resolution/reconciliation instructions package that came from the party-leadership-dominated Budget Committees. This program included always unpopular tax increases as well as some controversial spending, or "investment," programs. As Sinclair put it, "[it] would require Congress to pass a budget resolution with instructions to the substantive committees to bring law in their areas of jurisdiction into conformity with the budget resolution and then enact a massive reconciliation bill incorporating all those changes." (Sinclair, 153) The resolution rolled through the Budget Committees on straight party-line votes and was enacted by both houses of Congress along party lines as well. Postcommittee adjustments during reconciliation enabled the Democrats to form a coalition necessary for passage of the reconciliation bill.
Another example of policy changes snuck into the budget process occurred during the height of the "Republican Revolution" in 1995. To further complicate matters, the Republicans sought to implement their Contract with America within one hundred days of the opening of the session, thereby delaying the start of the budget process. The Republicans, through adroit manipulation and unorthodox lawmaking, were able to cut domestic spending by 9% from the previous year.(Sinclair, p. 215) They could not have accomplished this without the budget rules and restrictions. For example, the protection from filibuster in the Senate eliminated the almost-certain threat of one by Democrats. In the House, special rules limiting the number of amendments kept the budget package from unraveling with alternatives.
In both the 1993 Clinton budget and the 1995 Republican budget, one can discern the power of the budget. By packaging a lot of different programs and taxes into one massive bill—which must be passed en masse—big changes can be enacted even if, individually, they would not have succeeded. Moreover, the budgetary rules that limit debate and amendment serve this same end; they eliminate the weapons that Congressional opposition traditionally uses to defeat measures.
Another major change in the budget process has accompanied the overwhelming concern with deficits and deficit reduction. The two primary vehicles for deficit reduction in the eighties and nineties have been Gramm-Rudman-Hollings and the Budget Enforcement Act. Gramm-Rudman-Hollings—named for the three senators who initiated it—started out as an amendment to a debt ceiling bill in 1985 and later became the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act. It stipulated that the deficit would be reduced $36 billion a year until it reached zero in 1991. To enforce this frugality, it further stipulated that if the deficit target was not met (with a $10 billion leeway) an across-the-board spending cut would automatically ensue in order to bring the deficit down to the targeted amount. This process is called sequestration. It further barred amendments to budget resolutions and reconciliations that raise the projected deficit above the correct level. In the Senate, the act required a three-fifths majority to overrule the presiding officer's determination of germaneness of an amendment to a reconciliation bill, where only a simple majority was required previously. The deficit was not reduced to zero by 1991 through a series of overprojections and creative accounting. The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings process was started anew in 1987 to reduce the deficit to zero by 1993. A similar result occurred and the deficit was not reduced.
The other major deficit-reduction measure was the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. The BEA divided spending into four categories—entitlements, defense, international, and domestic—and established spending ceilings for all except entitlements. If Congress appropriates over the spending limit, then sequestration occurs but only in that category. It also dictated that all tax and spending legislation be deficit neutral—neither raising or lowering the deficit. In other words, if spending is increased, either taxes must be raised or other programs' spending must be cut. This is known as PAYGO—or pay-as-you-go—and a point of order can be raised on any bill that is not deficit neutral. The passage of BEA indicated that the federal government had given up on Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, since the BEA could create deficits even if all spending limits were meticulously followed because the focus was on spending rather than deficit reduction.
Obviously, the BEA was enacted with the purpose of paying lip service to deficit reduction without actually making hard cuts. It is designed to keep spending in check without reference to revenue. To the average person, it would appear that deficit reduction would result and thus ease political pressure to produce a budget with deficit-reducing characteristics. Gramm-Rudman-Hollings, which requires integrity to work, is simply too politically embarrassing to account for. With its finality and certainty—deficit down to zero by 1993—it is far too obvious to the layman that chicanery is afoot when 1993 passes and the deficit is still soaring in the stratosphere.
By far the best plan to reduce the deficit is to reduce spending absolutely. Projecting the future tax revenues and spending based on that is akin to anticipating future pay raises and charging up your credit cards to the hilt in the hopes that you will actually get the pay raises and thus be able to pay it off. Spending must be reduced regardless of tax revenue; spending must be incrementally ratcheted down a certain amount each year until it reaches 50% or less of base year spending.1 That will eliminate the deficit and start making headway into the staggering national debt. It would mean the termination of many government programs and would definitely be very unpopular, but it would achieve the goal of deficit reduction. It is, however, impossible in today's political climate, given the conflicting nature of the people's desires, viz., pining for deficit reduction without the requisite spending and program cuts.
1 Even 50% of base year spending is too high to my way of thinking, but that is the subject of another whole essay.

Oh. My God. And not the good kind. This is the WORST WORST WORST relationship of all time. Literally. I'll never forgive Joss for this, ever. Kennedy came along in season seven as a potential slayer. Super bratty, hated her from the beginning. Willow did not need to be put with anyone after Tara! And especially Kennedy. Yeah she helped Willow move on after Tara was killed but ugh. Any highlights? I regret to say that there is maybe one or two. Kennedy helped Willow forgive herself for what she did to Warren (aka the guy that killed Tara) and for moving on after Tara. And I guess she helped her control her magic a little after Willow spiraled out at the end of season six and was pretty shaky about using magic afterward. But this relationship gets a 0 out of 5 stakes. Nobody takes Tara's place. Nobody.


Dundee United star striker Lawrence Shankland to be out for longer than expected
Dundee United will be without star striker Lawrence Shankland for longer than expected.
by Ian RoacheIt has been revealed that the free-scoring frontman tore a thigh muscle while on Scotland duty.
When their player pulled out of Steve Clarke’s squad after the game in Cyprus, the Tangerines originally stated that there was nothing to worry about because the injury was only “slight.”
The hope was that he would be able to play against Morton a week tomorrow but manager Robbie Neilson has since revealed that Shankland will be sidelined for some time.
Neilson said: “He had a wee thigh problem so we got it scanned a couple of days ago.
“It looks like he’ll be out for the Morton game and we hope he’ll be back the following week.”
