Working in Forms With Django
I still find myself comparing Rails and Django — forms are one thing they handle quite differently, and I really enjoy the way Django does them. Class-based forms are such an easy way to manipulate the information that goes into and out of your forms, and provides a great way to put some of the logic in the form itself, providing a separation from the form and the controller logic.
This only covers user-facing Model forms, not Django Admin forms, or non-model forms. However, once you've built model forms, you'll find you can use the same concepts to build other types of forms.
As always, here are the docs.
A ModelForm is used for creating or editing an instance of an object in the database.
Let's say we have the following model:
from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models
class Meal(models.Model):
 organizer = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='organizer')
 time = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)
 location = models.CharField(max_length=100)
 required = models.NullBooleanField(default=None)
Here's an example that shows just a couple things you can do to customize its behavior. We'll talk through each of them.
from django import forms
from django.forms import fields, CheckboxInput
class MealForm(forms.ModelForm)
 class Meta:
 model = Meal
 fields = ('time', 'location')
 def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
 self.organizer = kwargs.pop('organizer')
 super(MealForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
 if not self.instance:
 self.fields['location'].initial = self.organizer.default_location
 self.fields['required'].widget = CheckboxInput(required=False)
 def clean_time(self):
 time = self.cleaned_data['time']
 # do stuff with the time to put it in UTC based on the user's default timezone and data passed into the form.
 def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
 self.instance.organizer = self.organizer
 meal = super(MealForm, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
 return meal
When creating a model form, you have to tell it which model it's working with in the Meta class, and tell it which of that Model's fields to use or exclude. You can be done there if you want — Django will know which widget to use for each field based on the type of field it is (a BooleanField will get a checkbox, a CharField will get a text input, etc.). If the form is editing instead of creating an instance, and an instance is passed in (which we'll talk about in the next section), the fields will be populated with the current values of those fields. It's pretty handy and does a lot for you. Here are some of the other things we did in the above form
 - We're giving the model an organizer. In this case, we're assuming that the person filling out the form is automatically the organizer of this meal, so we don't want them to have to fill that out in the form. This assumes an organizer is passed in when the form is instantiated in the view (which, again, we'll talk about in the next section).
 - Calling super just means that, regardless of these customizations we're adding here, we want to call the ModelForm's __init__ class as well. That's where a lot of the behind the scenes magic happens, and we don't want to overwrite that.
 - If self.instance is None, that means that this form is being used to create a new instance, instead of editing an existing one. Calling .initial on a form field in this case means that the field will be pre-filled with a default value, that the user can then change. You usually don't want to give a field an initial value if the form is being used to edit, since the fields will automatically be filled with the current database values.
 - Calling .widget on a field overrides the default provided by the model in the database. In this case, a NullBooleanField will usually render as a dropdown with 3 options: None, True, and False. Here I'm overriding this and telling it to render as a checkbox, which will save as either True or False, because I don't want my user to be able to select None. You can find all of the widgets available to you here.
Each form has an attribute called cleaned_data on it, that contains the POST information sent over the form, on which validations have already been done, in addition to any custom work you want to do on it. Each field has a clean method that can be customized to do additional logic.
In this example, I would adjust the datetime field to use the user's default timezone, and then convert it to UTC for storing in the database, so the value represents the right moment in time. But you can do whatever needs to be done to this data to get it in the proper format for you, or to do additional validating on.
When you try to access self.cleaned_data['<field_name>'] in your save method, the data will be the value you've returned in this method.
By the time I get here, in the case of a ModelForm, I have an instance (which may or may not have an ID, depending on whether I'm creating or editing). So in my example, I'm setting the organizer value that I retrieved in __init__ on my instance before calling the super method, which actually saves my instance in the database. I then return the instance itself, so I can use it in the view.
from annoying.functions import get_object_or_None
from django.shortcuts import render
from meal.forms import MealForm
from meal.models import Meal
def edit_meal(request, meal_id):
 meal = get_object_or_None(Meal, pk=meal_id)
 if not meal:
 # error handle
 if request.method == "POST":
 form = MealForm(request.POST, instance=meal, organizer=request.user)
 if form.is_valid():
 meal = form.save()
 # maybe addd a success message for your user
 else:
 form = MealForm(instance=meal, organizer=request.user)
 context = {
 'form': form,
 'meal': meal
 }
 return render('<template>')
The main difference between the form you generate from a GET request versus a POST request is whether you pass in the request.POST — this is what the form uses to generate its cleaned_data. If we were drawing up the view to add a new meal instead of editing an existing one, we would also not pass an instance in when initializing the form, and the form would handle the rest.
Calling is_valid() on a form will check two things:
 - Does it have errors — this runs the database validations in the case of a ModelForm to make sure the instance can be saved
 - Is the form 'bound' — this really is just checking to see that the form has either data or files. Passing in request.POST, in this case means that the form does have data. request.FILES can be passed in, either in addition to or instead of the request.POST, if there are uploads or other things happening in the form.
Assuming those two things are true, the form is valid, and calling .save() on it will, as we've defined the form in the first section, create an instance of a Meal and return it to you, so you can use it in your context.
All that's left now is to draw up the form, and the template will do most of the work for you. At the most basic, it might look something like this:
<form action="{% url 'meal:edit' meal.id %}" method="post">
 {% csrf_token %}
 { }
 <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
The { } will draw up the inputs for you with the attributes you specified in your MealForm, above, and hitting the "Submit" button will take you to the edit_meal action (This assumes you've got the associated url, of course). Voilà!

Her roots are in volcanic petrology and this project is particularly exciting for her as petrological knowledge, dating and field-based volcanology will be used together to assess how this changes our understanding of volcanic activity on Ascension and how it has impacted the island. Despite reading a lot of papers about the geology of the island she will still blown away by the variety and interest of the deposits during the project's first field season!


Abstract
Erosion can cause clear, measurable change to the environment over time so it is important to know how fast areas are eroding, and where. This study looked at Rathburn Run in Wooster Memorial Park near Wooster, Ohio, to find the rate of erosion for Rathburn Run and to hypothesize why Rathburn Run is eroding at its current rate. Erosion pins were placed at six points along the river and monitored over the course of 10 months. Historical imagery at a site was compared to current images to find the amount of erosion into the banks over time. A Schmidt Hammer Rebound test was conducted at each odd numbered site, and joints were measured at three areas in Wooster Memorial Park to better understand the layout of the gorge. Samples were taken from each site and classified after Lazar et. al.'s 2015 classification method and run through an XRD to find the components of each rock. The samples were also used for a modified Jar Slake test. Three of the erosion pins were lost over the course of the year, and approximately .4cm to 2.5cm of bedrock was eroded at sites 1, 3, and 5. Between 2000 and 2017 the bank eroded away at a rate of approximately 14cm per year. The main minerals in the bedrock throughout the river were Quartz, Illite, and Kaolinite. The bedrock in the middle of Wooster Memorial Park was stronger than the bedrock at the upstream and downstream sites. The weakest bedrock was at the upstream sites, but the rate of erosion into bedrock is similar to the rate of erosion into bedrock at the downstream sites. There are also slightly higher rates of discharge at the upstream sites in comparison to the downstream sites. The reason that the erosion into bedrock is similar despite the differences between the upstream and downstream sites is likely because the bank is being eroded at a fast rate.

NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education is excited to introduce the Advising Success Network. The Advising Success Network, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is a partnership among higher education organizations and leaders who believe advising is the bright star in a constellation of student support services.
The Advising Success Network is facilitated by NASPA and comprised of Achieving the Dream (ATD), the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), EDUCAUSE, NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising, and the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition. Kevin Kruger, president of NASPA, had this to say about the launch of the Advising Success Network, "One of the biggest challenges facing higher education is to bring student success innovations to scale across a wide range of institutions. The Advising Success Network is perfectly positioned to do just that and to drive innovations in advising reform that will have a significant impact on the educational outcomes for tens of thousands of students."
As institutions work toward completion agendas, they are moving away from understanding academic advising solely as an academic transaction. Many institutions are revisiting how advising roles can serve students more comprehensively. The mission of the network is to identify, build, and scale effective advising solutions across the field of higher education to ensure academic, career, and personal success for all students, with a focus on low-income students and students of color. This shift toward holistic support requires institution-wide reflection on the current student experience from recruitment through graduation, change and leadership management, and the strategic use of technology. Academic advising is one of the most impactful levers in this landscape, where 6-year graduation rates for full-time students hover at 55% (Tyton, 2015).
The Advising Success Network will provide thought leadership, resources, and services to advance academic advising as a tool for helping institutions pursue equity and excellence in their support of students. The network will cultivate a list of resources, including case studies and research, and share these resources via a public website by mid-2020. To learn more, contact Sara Ackerson, Assistant Director of Advising Initiatives at _EMAIL_.

Suppose now that the objects in question are abelian topological groups $G$ so that morphisms are continuous group homomorphisms. Given an exact sequence of abelian topological groups $0 \to G''\to G \to G''$ is the functor $\textrm{Hom}(H,-)$ a left-exact functor? $H$ is an abelian topological group.
We know that if we only care about group homomorphisms then $\textrm{Hom}(H,-)$ is left-exact, but will the condition of continuity now change anything? It seems there is a problem because to prove exactness at $\textrm{Hom}(H,G)$ requires defining a map from $H \to G''$ which may not be continuous.
Edit: PinkElephants has shown us that this functor may fail to be exact. However if we consider a specific case which is the exact sequence
$$0 \to \Bbb{Z} \to \Bbb{R} \stackrel{e^{2\pi i x}}{\longrightarrow } S^1 \to 0$$
then is the functor $\textrm{Hom}(S^1, -)$ left-exact? What about the contravariant functor $\textrm{Hom}(-,S^1)$, is it still right-exact?

If $\textrm{Hom}(G, -)$ fails to be left exact then you have defined exact sequence incorrectly. – Zhen Lin Dec 10 '12 at 23:35
Continuity, in any case, cannot solve anything, for you always put the discrete topology on groups! – Mariano Suárez-Alvarez Dec 10 '12 at 23:36
_USER_-Alvarez What if I consider $S^1$ as a topological group the topology on here is the Euclidean topology? – user38268 Dec 10 '12 at 23:38
_USER_ I made an edit above. – user38268 Dec 10 '12 at 23:43
Let me just mention the amazing fact that if you consider only compact abelian groups, then this category actually turns out to be abelian. In particular, Hom(S^1, -) is left-exact as long as you restrict to compact groups. – Piotr Pstrągowski Dec 11 '12 at 2:23

$\DeclareMathOperator{Hom}{Hom}$Given a short sequence $$0 \to A \xrightarrow{f} B \xrightarrow{g} C \to 0,\tag{$\ast$}$$ in an additive category, the sequence of abelian groups $$ 0 \to \Hom(G,A) \xrightarrow{f_\ast} \Hom(G,B) \xrightarrow{g_\ast} \Hom(G,C) $$ is exact for all $G$ if and only if $f$ is a kernel of $g$ and, dually, $$ 0 \to \Hom(C,G) \xrightarrow{g^\ast} \Hom(B,G) \xrightarrow{f^\ast} \Hom(A,G) $$ is exact for all $G$ if and only if $g$ is a cokernel of $f$.
This can be interpreted as follows: Since we want $\Hom$ to be left exact, the minimal requirement that a short sequence $(\ast)$ in an additive category should satisfy in order to deserve to be called exact is that $f$ be a kernel of $g$ and that $g$ be a cokernel of $f$.
From this point of view, the example in Pink Elephant's answer is not a good one: the identity $G \to H$ is a monomorphism and an epimorphism, but it is not an isomorphism and a fortiori neither a kernel nor a cokernel.
The trouble of calling all kernel-cokernel sequences $(\ast)$ exact is that they lack the closure conditions you need in order to prove the diagram lemmas necessary for homological algebra. A particularly convenient (hence convincing) approach to exact sequences (albeit not intrinsic as in abelian categories) is usually attributed to Quillen, see exact categories. In a nutshell what this means is that you have to think about what sequences you want to call exact.
Outside of the additive setting exactness can be dealt with in various ways but it gets even more complicated. See e.g. Borceux-Bourn's book.

Let $H$ be an abelian topological group whose topology is not discrete, and let $G$ have the same underlying group as $H$ but with the discrete topology. Consider the short exact sequence $0\to G\to H\to 0\to 0$ where $G\to G$ is the identity on sets.
Now the sequence $0\to \mathrm{Hom}(H,G)\to \mathrm{Hom}(H,H)\to \mathrm{Hom}(H,0)$ is not exact at $\mathrm{Hom}(H,H)$, as $\mathrm{Id}_H$ is in the kernel but not the image.
share|improve this answer
Thanks for your answer. However if the topologies are all inhereted from the euclidean topology (e.g. $G''= \Bbb{Z}$, $G = \Bbb{R}$ and $G'= S^1$) then will the functor be left-exact? – user38268 Dec 11 '12 at 0:31
You may see my edit in the question above for further queries. – user38268 Dec 11 '12 at 0:34

Rutgers Professors Create Software to Assist in Facility Evacuation
Program would help large facilities develop procedures for evacuating people during a fire, bioterror attack or natural disaster
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Two Rutgers University professors are developing a computer program to help large facilities develop procedures for evacuating people during a fire, bioterror attack or natural disaster.
The software could be customized to fit any building plan. Once it detects anthrax or a fire, for example, it would provide security officials with specific steps to take, such as blocking off access to a contaminated area of a building.
"It gives them directions and guidance on how to respond to the incident," said Ali Maher, professor and chairman of the civil and environmental engineering department at Rutgers. Maher also serves as director to the federal and state-funded group called The Center for Advanced Infrastructure & Transportation.
The professors are testing their software now at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick. Their work also has caught the interest of New Jersey State Police and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Maher said.
"We're trying to develop a platform that every hospital in the nation could use, actually any place could use," said Mohsen Jafari, an industrial engineering professor at Rutgers and member of the center. "Several hospitals in the state are very interested."
Rutgers is working with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed by the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., and with a private firm to incorporate an anthrax detection technology in the program.
The lab, which primarily works for NASA on sending rovers to Mars, invented an anthrax "smoke" detector in 2002. Universal Detection Technology of Beverly Hills, Calif., purchased the licensing for the detectors.
"The most important thing you want to know is if you've been exposed," said Adrian Ponce, senior scientist with the lab. "The only people who died (in the 2001 anthrax attacks) were the ones who didn't know they've been exposed."
Rutgers representatives will meet with lab and Universal Detection Technology officials Thursday in California. They aim to have their software available within nine months.
Though many large-scale public facilities and high-rise buildings have evacuation plans, very few have tested them, the professors said.
"New Jersey is the primary transit hub of the Northeast. You have airports, ports, trains and the turnpike," Maher said. "You're basically the main transit corridor between Boston and Florida."
Maher said he envisions the program being used as a network in the future so several buildings on a city block could use it to evacuate in a crisis.
The Garden State's proximity to New York and its history of anthrax contamination at the Hamilton post office make it one of the nation's best test markets, said Amir Ettehadieh, director of research and development for Universal Detection Technology.

Dear Mr. Woodford and "The Student Council Members"
In Ho Chi Minh, there has been a food grab problem. Many poor people don't have enough to eat and they might starve to death! There are different ways to solve this and it depends on where it is. Some people are homeless and even penny less, and they are starving.
- Places like Phu My Hung, they should open a "Free-Food Give away daily." Make sure only the people who aren't poor do not get any. The food are only for poor. Someone can hire a cook and give fresh meal everyday and left over recepies and ingredient. If they want a deluxe meal, make sure they just PAY a penny or two is enough.
- For places like down town, they should have a food festival every month and poor people can take whatever they want, and make sure there are meals that can be kept for a few months so they can eat-fresh until the next festival. People like us can donate food to the festival to make a change.
- And we also can make a change in our school! We should have a "Penny-For-Food" foundation. Students can make posters, presentation and much more. Older students can go to the poor (Vietnamese) and interview them about their feelings of hunger. We can donate money to the poor, and maybe this can happen every 2 months.
Every one can help poor get there body strong and healthy, especially YOU!

Troubleshooting: IE6 defect interferes with screen refresh of dynamic select controls
If your application users acess Process Commander with Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.0 (IE6) and your application includes a Gradient filter in a style sheet, you will notice that scrolling the container window causes Dynamic Select controls (drop-down lists) to disappear.
When you click within the window at the locus of a particular Select control, the control reappears.
This is a known defect in IE6.The defect surfaces in applications using a customized CSS (referenced in a skin rule) in which a gradient filter has been enabled. The problem does not occur when you use the same CSS without a gradient filter applied, or the standard skins.
The problem is caused by style coding like this example:
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(enabled='true',GradientType=0, startColorStr='_TAG_', endColorStr='#95A6C7')
The following screens illustrate the initial UI state and the disappearance and reappearance of Dynamic Select controls when focus changes between your scrolling and clicking interactions.
If you need to support IE6, do not use gradient filters when you customize the standard CSS.
If you need to use gradient filters in your customized CSS, upgrade to IE7. (Note that gradient features are a Microsoft extension to CSS, not supported by non-Microsoft browsers.)
For more information, refer to the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) article cited.


A confidence band is the lines on a probability plot or fitted line plot that depict the upper and lower confidence bounds for all points on a fitted line within the range of data. On a fitted line plot, the confidence interval for the mean response of a specified predictor value are the points on the confidence bands directly above and below the predictor value.
For example, a materials engineer at a furniture manufacturing site wants to assess the strength of the particle board that they use. They collect stiffness data from particle board pieces with various densities. The engineer uses linear regression to create a fitted line plot of the relationship between stiffness and density. The confidence bands above and below the fitted line represent confidence intervals for the mean response of a specified predictor value. For example, the model indicates with 95% confidence that a density of 15 will generate a mean stiffness between approximately 28 and 35, which are the y-values of the lower and upper confidence bands at X = 15.
Density vs. Stiffness
You verify the validity of this regression model by assessing the residuals for normality.
Probability plot of residuals
All the points fall close to the fitted line, so the assumption that the residuals are normal is reasonable. The Anderson-Darling statistic (0.395) and p-value (0.35) confirm this conclusion.
For a fitted line plot, the confidence intervals that form the confidence bands are calculated separately for each point on the fitted line, without controlling for family error. Therefore, if you use 95% confidence bands to estimate more than one parameter per sample, your actual confidence level for the group of estimates will be less than 95%.

text: Known as the Night Watchman's plant. This sacred plant's common name is Guayusa. Its pronounced "Wa-Yu- Sa" . Its latin name is Ilex Guayusa, a relative to Yerba Mate and Yaupon Holly. It's a species of tree native to the amazon rainforest found in Ecuador, Northeastern Peru and parts of Columbia. Guayusa is known to be used by Shamans as a sacred plant medicine for dreaming and journey work During Ayahuasca ceremonies , to improve focus and bring clarity to the visions the Shamans may receive and it aids in remembering all the details like lucid dreaming. Guayusa has been found to contain caffeine, theobromine (commonly found in chocolate), L-theanine and theophylline (also found in green tea). It contains nearly 50% more antioxidants than that of green tea, namely polyphenols, flavonoids and saponins. The caffeine content is on average around 90 mg per 8 oz cup of tea. More caffeine than tea but less than coffee.

A century of rising temperatures has extended the growing season of hardwood forests in the eastern U.S. by one month, a new study finds.
Growing season lasts from the first budburst in spring until trees turn gold and crimson in the fall. As spring and fall grow warmer, trees are bearing their leaves for longer, the research shows.
For the study, scientists tracked American elm, black walnut, white oak, and four other species in northwest Ohio, comparing their data to records collected by an Ohio farmer at the turn of the last century. The farmer, Thomas Mikesell, gathered information on temperature, rainfall, and tree growth from 1883 to 1912, producing what may be the only early 20th-century record of forest growth in North America, authors said.
Winter and spring temperatures have risen by up to 5 degrees F over the last century, and today, growing season is around 15 percent longer. The research was published in the journal PLOS One.
The findings are an "obvious indicator that temperatures are changing and shows that things are not the way they used to be — they are profoundly different," Kellen Calinger-Yoak, a biologist at The Ohio State University and lead author of the study, said in a statement. "An entire month of growing season extension is huge when we're talking about a pretty short period of time for those changes to be expressed."

For Developers > Content module >
Content API
Motivation
 - isolate developers working on Chrome from inner workings of content
 - make the boundary between content and chrome clear to developers and other embedders
Goal
 - Embedder API is under src/content/public
 - DEPS rules would prevent chrome from reaching to the implementation files
Design
In general, we will follow the design of the WebKit API. This makes it easier for people who're already familiar with it, and also keeps things consistent.
 - content/public should contain only interfaces, structs and (rarely) static functions
 - An exception is content/public/test. We allow concrete classes that chrome test classes derive from or use in here.
 - each interface/struct/enum should be in a separate file
 - all code under content should be in the "content" namespace
 - interfaces that content implements usually should be pure abstract, because usually there's only one implementation. These should not be implemented outside of content (i.e. content will freely assume that it can cast to its implementation(s)).
 - interfaces that embedders implement, especially ones which are used in tests or are observer-style and have many implementations, should have default (empty) implementations
 - enum values should start with the name of the type, i.e. PAGE_TRANSITION_LINK in the content::PageTransition enum
 - content implementation code should use other implementations directly and not go through the interface (i.e. code in content/renderer should use RenderViewImpl instead of content::RenderView)
 - it's acceptable to put implementation files that hold constructors/destructors of interfaces/structs which might have member variables. For structs, this covers initializing member variables. For interfaces (i.e. RenderViewObserver) this might cover things like automatic registration/unregistration. Normally we would put this small code in headers, but because of the clang checks against putting code in headers, we're forced to put it in .cc files (we don't want to make a clang exception for the content/public directory since that would lead to confusion).
 - when code in chrome implements an interface from content, usually the convention is to prefix the implementation with "Chrome" (i.e. ChromeContentBrowserClient derives from content::ContentBrowserClient)
 - only expose methods in the public API that embedders need. If a method is only used by other code in content, it belongs in foo_impl.h and not foo.h.
 - methods in the API should be there because either content is calling out to its embedder, or the embedder is calling to content. There shouldn't be any methods which are used to call from the embedder to the embedder.
 - all classes/structs/enums in the public API must be used by embedders and content. i.e. if the chrome layer uses a struct but content doesn't know about it, it doesn't belong in content/public but instead some module that's higher level.
 - we avoid single-method delegate interfaces, and in those case we use callbacks.
 - don't add the const identifier to interfaces. For interfaces implemented by the embedder, we can't make assumptions about what the embedder needs to implement it. For interfaces implemented by content, the implementation details doesn't have to be exposed.
 - Observer interfaces (i.e. WebContentsObserver, RenderFrameObserver, RenderViewObserver) should only have void methods. This is because otherwise the order that observers are registered would matter, and we don't want that. The only exception is OnMessageReceived, which is fine since only one observer class handles each particular IPC, so ordering doesn't make a difference.

Inaugural ESG Index in GBA
As one of China's most open and economically vibrant areas, the GBA's Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area includes green development, improving people's livelihoods as sustainable development concepts and more. HSBC has released the first GBA ESG Index in Q4 2022 to effectively reflect the status and improvement directions of sustainable development in the GBA.
Developed in partnership with China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP) Environmental Consulting Group Limited, a consultancy specialising in sustainable management as well as green and sustainable finance, the HSBC GBA ESG Index provides holistic insights into the area's sustainable development.
The GBA ESG Index uses a combination of macro and micro methodologies and is updated quarterly. As well as the main GBA ESG Regional Index, a number of sub-indices are compiled, including City Sub-indices, Industry Sub-indices and Sub-indices by company size. The GBA ESG Index aims to objectively reflect and track the GBA's sustainable development and its ESG.
From a macro perspective, we analyse the region, cities and industrial characteristics from five areas, namely policy, environment, economic and social development, corporate governance, and green and sustainable finance. The ESG performance of companies is evaluated from a micro perspective using the following five first-level indicators: environmental, social, governance, green and sustainable finance and external assurance. To these an adjustment indicator, ESG reputation, is added which takes negative or controversial ESG events into consideration
Q2 2023 Key Highlights
Our study shows a 3% year-on-year increase to 122.15 in the Greater Bay Area ESG Regional Index in the second quarter of 2023. Improvements have been made in the areas of economic and social development, corporate governance, and green and sustainable finance, while stability has been maintained in the areas of policy and environment.
ESG disclosure rate of GBA companies increased from 71% in 2021 to 73% in 2022, led by companies based in Hong Kong and Macao. This coincided with the tightening up of the GBA's ESG disclosure requirements, especially with regard to climate-related issues. Our study also found that the GBA has improved its climate-related performance, with a notable improvement in the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) climate change scores achieved by GBA companies.
The volume of GSSS (green, social sustainability sustainability-linked) bonds issued by the GBA has continuously increased and reached a record high in Q2 2023. Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen continued to lead the GBA GSSS bond market. According to our data, the volume of GSSS bonds issued by the three cities collectively accounted for 97% of the GBA's total volume in Q2 2023.
The average value of the GBA ESG Industry Sub-Index increased 22% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2023, as a result of improved ESG performance across almost all sectors. Among the eight key sectors (communication services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, healthcare, industrials, and real estate), industrials remains as the top-performing sector. The communication services sector, which registered the biggest increase in the number of enterprises having set carbon reduction targets or made commitments aligned with the SBTi1 during the review period, ranked second for its overall ESG performance in Q2.

Unique pilot for future travel surveys
In the autumn of 2017, a unique pilot for future travel survey data collection methods is being conducted in Gothenburg. The pilot is running concurrently to a traditional travel survey. The aim of the pilot is to obtain a better understanding of how future travel surveys can be performed, by comparing different data collection methods that run in parallel.
Why travel surveys?
In order to plan for more sustainable transport systems, we need to understand how people use them. Today almost all decisions on transport investments and policy priorities are based on travel survey data, even though today's travel survey methods deliver data that is far from optimal.
Today most people use smartphones and have internet access 24 hours a day. This has the potential to give us much better information about how the transport system is used – which in the long run leads us to design a more efficient and human-centred system.
Demonstrating new innovative data collection methods
Traditional travel surveys ask respondents to complete details of their travel in paper-based questionnaires (and sometime by phone). The respondent should remember all trips made usually over a 24-hour period, how they travelled (bus, car, walk, etc) and the distance and time of each trip. This is a major weakness: the exact distances and times are hard for people to include in their responses, and shorter trips, as well as connecting trips (for example walking to a bus stop) are often forgotten. Completing such surveys can be a burden, and many who receive questionnaires do not complete them. Additionally, due to the high cost of performing these surveys, they are often only performed every 5 years or less frequently.
– "We are testing two new tools for data collection, an online questionnaire and a travel survey app called TRavelVU that helps to collect data", says Emeli Adell at Trivector.
The two new data collection methods will be compared with the traditional travel survey (paper-based) to improve our knowledge of data quality, comparability and representativeness.
Looking at different ways of recruiting respondents
– "But it's not just new tools we're testing," Emeli continues. We also want to understand how we can recruit respondents in a different way in the future. In the pilot, we are using three different recruitment methods for the online questionnaire and the travel survey app:
- random selection of postal addresses,
- web panel, and
– We will compare which groups are represented based on the different recruitment techniques as well as response types. We want to understand which sections of the population respond to different sections as a way to understand who is represented in the data, and how this should be considered when representing a representative picture of travel.
The pilot project is a joint effort between Transport Analysis, VTI (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute) and Trivector. The project is co-financed by the Swedish Transport Administration. It is a part of a larger project called "New solutions for future travel surveys" led by Transport Analysis.


text: The Super Serpentine Reactor employs a length of tubing that is weaved onto a plastic platen using a cross stitch pattern. The pattern employed ensures the maximum number of changes in direction in 3-D space possible. By forcing the flowing fluid to make rapid changes in direction it is possible to significantly improve the mixing patterns achievable in a flowing stream. This phenomenon has been employed in knotted reactors and the Super Serpentine Reactor provides a measure of rigidity and predictability to the reactor. Use of the Super Serpentine Reactor will increase radial dispersion while minimizing axial dispersion. In fact, it is possible to actually reduce axial dispersion compared to a straight length of tubing by using the Super Serpentine Reactor.

Successful engagement to the government was a simple meeting checked box. Successful engagement takes investment in time in building and establishing a trusting relationship. As in any relationship, you start by spending time together at a grassroots, basic ground level foundation. Early and often. Live amongst each other, learn and understand the great and not so great things about each other. All involved be open and honest about what the needs, the wants and the desired outcomes, the bottom lines are. Work hard together to achieve that. Have local Indigenous peoples within the entity to understand that worldview and articulate that to the Indigenous groups and vice versa. Ongoing dialogue and immersing into each others culture and ways of being. At the very least, throw the agenda out and attempt to understand the nature of each other.

Dynamic interactions of shock waves and turbulent structures occur in a wide range of applications. The accurate simulation of turbulence in these flows requires a numerical scheme with minimal dissipation whereas the shock-capturing requires a dissipative scheme to stabilise the solution in the shock-wave discontinuous regions. These contradictory requirements make simulations of these flows extremely challenging. A compatible implementation of the solid boundary conditions at the point of incepting the acoustic waves and their internalisation into hydrodynamic instabilities is also challenging. Here we present, a high-fidelity, massively parallel and accurate solver for both direct numerical simulations and large-eddy simulations of supersonic turbulent flows in cylindrical coordinates. A hybrid WENO/ high order central difference scheme is used for the spatial discretisation with a fourth-order five-stage 2N-storage Runge–Kutta for the time integration. The least square contraction of Lilly is utilised for large-eddy subgrid-scale modelling. The solid surface boundary condition is implemented using the offset wall and ghost cell technique. The numerical implementation is validated through a wide range of test cases from simple to more complex cases. The numerical results show good agreement with analytical solutions and available experimental results. In the large-eddy simulation of a supersonic under-expanded impinging jet, it is observed that the conventional Ducros sensor leads to a more dissipative hybrid scheme. In this paper, a new shock sensor based on a WENO smoothness indicator is proposed and it is demonstrated to perform better especially in the simulation of the supersonic under-expanded impinging jet by limiting the expensive WENO scheme to the discontinuous regions and reducing the computational cost by approximately 10%.

Aristotle "Aris" Kristatos is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the Ian Fleming short story "Risico" found in the anthology For Your Eyes Only and the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, in which he was referred to as Aris Kristatos. In the film, he was portrayed by Julian Glover.
Short story biography
In the short story, Signor Kristatos (no given first name) is Bond's CIA contact for a mission to break up a drug smuggling operation in Italy. Kristatos informs Bond that the man behind the operation is Enrico Colombo. After being captured and taken aboard Colombo's ship, the Colombina, Bond learns that Kristatos is actually a double agent, working for the Russians and the man behind the drug smuggling operation. Colombo proves this to Bond by taking him on a raid of Kristatos' warehouse where they catch Kristatos and his men loading a shipment of drugs. During a gun battle, Kristatos flees, only to be confronted and shot by Bond.
Kristatos comes from the island of Kefalonia. Generally regarded as a hero for his bravery in World War II and the Greek Civil War, which the British government awarded him the King's Medal, Kristatos was actually a double agent during both conflicts. Though he appeared to be a respectable businessman in the years thereafter, he was in fact a heroin smuggler and a Soviet agent. He developed a bloody feud with Milos Columbo, a rival smuggler. He is in union with rogue Nazi supporters who have aided him in smuggling gold, drugs and other supplies out of Britain. In the film, he is hired by General Gogol to obtain the British device ATAC, which controls Polaris missiles.
Bond meets Kristatos in the Alps, as well as his niece Bibi Dahl, a young iceskating champion who is tipped to be a future Olympic gold medalist. He makes his first attempt to kill Bond – and Melina Havelock – in the Alps by arranging for them to meet in an area where two of his henchmen try to run them down on motorcycles. However, Bond foils both motoryclists. However, Bond is completely unaware that Kristatos had anything to do with it, as he had led Bond to believe that Locque and the other henchmen were in the pay of Milos Columbo.
Later, Kristatos catches up with Bond when catching him playing baccarat. They have a private dinner about what Kristatos was going to tell Bond about his rival, Columbo.
After meeting Columbo's mistress, Countess Lisl von Schlaf (who is fatally run down by Emile Locque) and Columbo himself, Bond is told that Kristatos is the heroin smuggler, not Columbo. Lisl was later killed by Emile Locque, who had presumably been alerted by Kristatos's henchman Apostis, and Locque had attempted to kill Bond at the same time. Bond disarms Locque, and four men working for Columbo shoot the henchman dead. They then capture Bond and take him to Columbo.
When Bond and Kristatos cross paths again, he steals the ATAC, which Bond and Melina Havelock have just found, captures them, ties them with a rope to his boat and leaves them to die in shark-infested waters. Kristatos then flees to his headquarters on St. Cyril, Greece with Eric Kriegler, convinced that he has killed Bond and Melina.
After harming Bibi and watching Kriegler and Bond fight, Kristatos runs off with the ATAC, only to be confronted by Columbo. After a fierce physical battle, Melina is just about to gun Kristatos down but Bond tells her he has a better idea. But as Kristatos reaches for a hidden switchblade knife, Columbo throws his own knife into Kristatos's back, killing him.

eng Crettaz, Eric La circulation des richesses: Working Poverty Among Immigrants and « Ethnic Minorities » : Theoretical Framework and Empirical Evidence Across Welfare Regimes _URL_ While the research that focuses on working poverty and low-wage employment usually explains the situation of immigrants and 'ethnic' minorities in terms of human capital, linguistic skills, social origin, and the like ('class-only' explanations), the literature that starts from the specific situation of minorities, especially the one that deals with immigration laws and/or labour market discrimination, tends to ignore what their situation has in common with that of disadvantaged 'native whites' in post-industrial economies. This paper attempts to build a theoretical bridge between these two strands of literature, and provides, in a first step, evidence as to the incidence of working poverty among immigrants (and 'ethnic' minorities when the information is available) across welfare regimes. In a second step, the impact of the citizenship status, the country of birth (and of 'race' in the US) is assessed, when the main working poverty factors and the main forms of labour market discrimination are controlled for. Interestingly, these variables have a significant impact in these models; hence, further factors must be at play, and some hypotheses are discussed, especially the role of 'ethnic economies'. 2011-05-26T12:47:42Z _URL_

We evaluated the dynamics of walleye Sander vitreus population size structure, as indexed by the proportional size distribution (PSD) of quality-length fish, in Escanaba Lake during 1967–2003 and in 204 other lakes in northern Wisconsin during 1990–2011. We estimated PSD from angler-caught walleyes in Escanaba Lake and from spring electrofishing in 204 other lakes, and then related PSD to annual estimates of recruitment to age-3, length at age 3, and annual angling exploitation rate. In Escanaba Lake during 1967–2003, annual estimates of PSD were highly dynamic, growth (positively) explained 35% of PSD variation, recruitment explained only 3% of PSD variation, and exploitation explained only 7% of PSD variation. In 204 other northern Wisconsin lakes during 1990–2011, PSD varied widely among lakes, recruitment (negatively) explained 29% of PSD variation, growth (positively) explained 21% of PSD variation, and exploitation explained only 4% of PSD variation. We conclude that population size structure was most strongly driven by recruitment and growth, rather than exploitation, in northern Wisconsin walleye populations. Studies of other species over wide spatial and temporal ranges of recruitment, growth, and mortality are needed to determine which dynamic rate most strongly influences population size structure of other species. Our findings indicate a need to be cautious about assuming exploitation is a strong driver of walleye population size structure.

1: The following compounds were tested for but not found at a concentration above the detection limit of either 10 or 20 nanograms per liter: 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodioxin; 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodioxin; 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodioxin; 1,2,3,7,8,9-hexachlorodioxin; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorofuran; 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorofuran; 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorofuran; 1,2,3,4,7,8-hexachlorofuran; 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorofuran; 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexachlorofuran; 1,2,3,7,8,9-hexachlorofuran; 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-heptachlorofuran; 1,2,3,4,7,8,9-heptachlorofuran; Total hexachlorofuran; and Total heptachlorofuran.
2: Concentration reported by NYSDOH laboratories at the Wadsworth Center from analysis of the wash sample as nanograms per liter (ng/L).
3: The dioxin concentration/CFP concentration is calculated by taking the dioxin concentration provided in column two and dividing it by the CFP concentration in the Storage Vessel wash reported by NYSDOH laboratories at NYSDOH laboratories at the Wadsworth Center as 130 grams per liter (130,000,000,000 ng/L).
4: The maximum amount of CFP found in soil was 8900 mcg/kg (Appendix A, Figure 5A).
5: The estimated amount of dioxin found in soil (column 5) was calculated by multiplying column 3 and column 4.
6: TEFs (toxicity equivalence factors) are from the World Health Organization (2). Because other congeners are less toxic than 2,3,7,8-TCDD, TEFs are used to estimate the 2,3,7,8-TCDD concentration that would have the same toxicity as the mixture of congeners seen. TEFs above zero exist only for the 2,3,7,8-substituted dioxins and furans; other dioxins/furans that do not have 2,3,7,8 substitution do not contribute to dioxin toxicity and thus the TEF equals zero.
7: The TEQ (toxicity equivalent or dioxin equivalent) was determined by multiplying column 5 and column 6.
8 The total toxicity equivalent


The French word ennui describes a feeling that combines tiredness and boredom. Ennui is one version of "the blahs."
Though it sounds it little fancy — maybe because it comes from French — ennui is a common feeling that everybody experiences: being bored and tired. School and work fill lots of people with ennui. A terrible TV show could create ennui. If you feel like your life is going nowhere, ennui could set in. When you're feeling ennui, you might as well take a nap, because you're too drowsy and uninterested to do much of anything else.
Definitions of ennui
 1. noun

Integrated Team Learning Program Helps U.S. Air Force ACC AMIC Achieve a Project Success Rate of Near 100%
Job Done Right
U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) wanted to improve the capabilities of its acquisition team and break down perceived silos between various technical areas. As an initial effort, they wanted to focus on training civilian and military technical experts in contract management and project management. The learning program needed to be appropriate for military personnel, who rotate through the team approximately every 24-36 months. It also needed to address the reality that technical military team members arrive with varying levels of contract and project management knowledge, experience and skills.
This case study discusses:
- The challenge of developing ongoing learning and knowledge transfer
- The need for common language and strategic understanding of each other's roles
- Dual track project and contract management training and certificate program
- The impact of the solution on AMIC's project success rate and on the acquisition process

Résumé : (auteur) Pit and mound microtopography is an important structural component of most forests, influencing soil processes and habitat diversity. These features have diminished greatly in northeastern U.S. forests since European settlement, as a result of the history of repeated logging, land-clearance followed by reforestation, and the smaller size of trees (and therefore windthrow features) comprising the prevailing second-growth forests. Despite the potential importance of this region-wide shift in forest microtopography on ecosystem structure and function, the differences in pit and mound size, distribution, and longevity between second-growth and old-growth forests are unexplored. Likewise, although many studies demonstrate that mounds and/or pits are hotspots for tree regeneration there is scant information about whether location on a mound or pit affects tree survival and growth beyond the seedling stage, or whether microtopographic regeneration patterns differ in old-growth and second-growth forests.
We compare a simulated hurricane experiment initiated in 1990 in second-growth forest (the pulldown) and an old-growth forest that was blown down by a hurricane in 1938 (Pisgah) to examine differences in pit-mound microtopography and ecology between second-growth and old-growth forest. At Pisgah, fewer, larger mounds comprised a similar areal coverage as at the pulldown. Repeated measurements of individual pit-mound structures in the pulldown revealed that pit infill proceeded more rapidly than mound erosion. Mound area increased but height decreased over time as soil from the mound tops eroded and spread around the mound base. Although 40% of mounds in the pulldown were >1 m tall immediately after the manipulation (maximum of 2.9 m), after 25 years, maximum mound height was 0.9 m. In contrast, 11% of mounds at Pisgah remained >1 m tall in 1989, 50 years after blowdown. At both sites, trees, especially Betula spp., were disproportionately found on mounds. Fewer trees than expected grew in pits at Pisgah. Tree mortality was somewhat higher on mounds and pits than on other substrates. As a mechanism to increase stand-level tree diversity, windthrow may be more critical in old-growth forests, in which niches for early-mid successional species are few, than in second-growth forest, in which early-mid successional species already comprise the majority of the trees. Pit-mound structures are a diminished component of second-growth forest, and silvicultural techniques designed to restore old-growth characteristics could include measures to preserve and enhance pit-mound features, and to cultivate large-diameter trees that will eventually create the large, long-lasting pit-mounds of the future.

Roxane is an original typeface designed by the author in response to a design analysis of visual attributes that enhance the legibility of font characteristics. The author takes issue with scientific legibility studies which focus on isolating variables to obtain verifiable results, but which are not useful in the more complex and holistic design of specific type faces. Visual analysis of type form attributes and visual principles provide the framework for this more holistic enterprise. The principles and attributes are demonstrated visually throughout the article, ending with Roxane, a type face developed with these principles in mind.Visible Language 33.3: 1999

Fiber properties, Fiber optics, Spectroscopy, Fourier transforms
Knowledge of the spectral absorption coefficient of fused silica optical fibers is important in modeling heat transfer in the processes and applications in which these fibers are used. An experimental method used to measure the spectral absorption coefficient of optical fibers is presented. Radiative energy from a blackbody radiator set at different temperatures is directed through the optical fibers and into an FTIR spectrometer. Spectral instrument response functions are calculated for different fiber lengths. The ratios of the slopes of the instrument response functions for the different lengths of fibers are used to solve for the spectral absorption coefficient of the fibers. The spectral absorption coefficient of low OH pure fused silica optical fibers is measured between the wavelengths 1.5 and 2.5 μm.

Standby Volume Underwriting Agreement: An Overview
A standby volume underwriting agreement (SVUA) is a type of agreement between a company and an underwriter, which helps a company raise funds by issuing securities. The underwriter agrees to purchase the securities from the company at a fixed price, and then resell them to the public.
The primary objective of a standby volume underwriting agreement is to provide security to a company during times of financial uncertainty. In cases where traditional means of financing are unavailable or inadequate, companies may turn to standby underwriting agreements to issue securities and obtain funding from investors.
How Does a Standby Volume Underwriting Agreement Work?
The terms of an SVUA are negotiated between the company and the underwriter. The company sets the terms of the securities they wish to issue, such as the type of securities and the price at which they wish to offer them. The underwriter agrees to purchase the securities at a predetermined price and assumes the risk of being unable to sell them at the same price.
The underwriter then resells the securities to investors at a markup, which generates revenue for the underwriter. The amount of the markup, or the underwriter's commission, is negotiated between the company and the underwriter.
When a company enters into an SVUA, it is obligated to issue and sell the securities to the underwriter. In turn, the underwriter is obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the company, even if they cannot resell them to investors. This provides a measure of certainty to the company, as they are guaranteed to raise the funding they require, even if they cannot find investors for their securities.
Why Use a Standby Volume Underwriting Agreement?
There are several reasons why a company may choose to use an SVUA. One of the most compelling reasons is to provide certainty during times of financial uncertainty. By having a guaranteed buyer for their securities, companies can raise the funds they need to operate, even in challenging financial markets.
Additionally, an SVUA can provide a faster, more efficient way for companies to raise funds compared to other financing options. For example, an initial public offering (IPO) can be a time-consuming and expensive process, and the outcome is uncertain. In contrast, an SVUA can be completed relatively quickly, allowing companies to raise funds when they need them.
Finally, an SVUA can be an effective way for companies to build relationships with underwriters. By working with an underwriter on an SVUA, a company can develop a relationship that may lead to other financing opportunities in the future.
In summary, a standby volume underwriting agreement is a type of agreement between a company and an underwriter that allows companies to issue securities and raise funds from investors. These agreements provide certainty to companies during times of financial uncertainty and can be a faster, more efficient way to raise funds compared to other financing options. By understanding the benefits of an SVUA, companies can make informed decisions on how to obtain the funding they need to succeed.

Birth and Parentage
Margaret Warren was born circa 1425 at of Ightfield, Shropshire, England. If the marriage, as estimated, took place in 1445, this would make Margaret a suitable age 20 at the time.
Margaret Warren married William Mainwaring.
Based on the birth of grandson John in 1475, place the birth of Thomas Mainwaring at 1450. Since he was the second son, place the first at 1448, a daughter at 1446, and the marriage to William at 1445.
Margaret Warren has been shown as the wife of the following husbands as well, however, these are not mentioned in Richardson and there is no other evidence of their marriage:
Margaret and William were the parents of:
- Thomas Mainwaring, Esq, of Ightfield, Shropshire, 2nd son of William and Margaret. Thomas married Jane Sutton and had two sons, John (b. 1475), Knt, and George, and two daughters, Cecily and Alice (wife of Philip Hill). Thomas Mainwaring died in 1508.

Reliable Industries is considering the construction of a power plant investment in India. Reliable analysts calculate that the cost of building the plant is $600 million, and the IRR of the plant is 13%. The analysts also estimate that given the experience of building the first plant, a second plant can be built for $550 million, and additional plants can be built for $500 million each.
1. How would you go about evaluating whether to build or not to build this power plant in India?
2. Are you evaluating a project or a strategy?
3. How does the risk associated with the power plant strategy compare with the risk associated with the individual power plants?

to find things in a text widget, use the "search" method:
pos = text.search(string, start)
where "string" is the string you want to search for, and start is the
starting position (e.g. 1.0 or INSERT).
to search for things that match "_USER_", where "word" is an arbitrary
string of letters or digits, you can use a regular expression, e.g.
pos = text.search("@\w+", 1.0, regexp=True)
search only returns where the match begins; to find the end of "_USER_",
you can search from the given position to the first thing that isn't a
end = text.search("\W", pos + " 1 char", regexp=True)
to change the appearance of a block of text, register the style using
tag_config, and then use tag_add to apply the style tag to the block, e.g.:
# do this when you create the widget
# do this to apply this style to a range of text
text.tag_add("mystyle", pos, end)
hope this helps!
