WSOHOIDPS presents its next exhibition, WAKE on Friday March 17th and will feature immersive art installations and musical performances by XIU XIU and Kid606. Music on Xiu Xiu's latest album, Forget, embraces the duality of human frailty that examines the palliative fade out of a traumatic past but also the trampling pain of a beautiful one's decay. In homage to this special St. Patrick's Day show we decided to throw our own version of an Irish Wake. Artists and scientists will question our vanishing eco-system, climate change, and the decline of our political system. Cristopher Cichocki will feature a new site specific 4D video and sound performance of his installation Circular Dimensions. Come pay respects to the universal self as we move through uncharted waters and unveil questions that examine the wake of our future existence. Remember to dress appropriately and bring flowers.
Third Eye Productions, Ryan Bradford, Cristopher Cichocki, Julia de Molina, and RJ Brooks.

Q: Explanation of range with slice How did 456 become 459?
>>> a = range(123, 456, 7)[1::4]
>>> print(a)
range(130, 459, 28)

A: Both your results are essentially the same.
In python 3 ranges are immutable sequences, in python 2 they return a list:
a = range(123, 456, 7)[1::4]  # generate a range spaced 7 apart, take every 4th

python 2.7:
print(a)
> [130, 158, 186, 214, 242, 270, 298, 326, 354, 382, 410, 438]

pyton 3.6:
print(a)
> range(130, 459, 28)

print(*range(130, 459, 28))
> 130 158 186 214 242 270 298 326 354 382 410 438

Your slicing tells the range to only take every 4th element for its 7-spaced-apart range. 4*7 == 28: that is why the range "changes".
The recalculated range-slice changes its upper bound to startvalue + multiple of your stepsize - and the upper bound of the range is exclusive, so it does not really matter if it is called 456 or 459 or 439 - as long as it is bigger then the number you generate last from the range.

A: To begin with.
a = range(123, 456, 7)
print(list(a))
#[123, 130, 137, 144, 151, 158,.....431, 438, 445, 452]

i.e we get a list from 123 to 456, with a step size of 7
Then we try the next step.
a = range(123, 456, 7)[1::4]
print(list(a))
#[130, 158, 186, 214, 242, 270, 298, 326, 354, 382, 410, 438]

Which is equivalent to range with start of 130, with a step size of 28, and the last value is 459, which is range(130, 459, 28), which also tells you to take every 4th element from the range, starting from the 1st element.

A: Note this also happens if you make a slice that doesn't change anything:
>>> b = range(123, 456, 7)
>>> print(b[::1])
range(123, 459, 7)

The last number included in that range is 452, so any value 452 < stop <= 459 would give you the same output. Given that the first value that isn't included is the stop with a step of 1, it's more consistent to use that for other steps too; it allows you to quickly determine what the last value that is included will be by subtracting the step from the stop.

What I don't know, though, is why that logic isn't followed for the new step of 28; on that basis it would be helpful if the result was:
>>> b[1::4]
range(130, 466, 28)

so you could easily work out that the last value included was 438. However, any value 438 < stop <= 466 will give the same output, so 459 isn't exactly wrong.

The Neoconservative Threat to World Order (Paperback)
Washington's Perilous War for Hegemony
By Dr Paul Craig Roberts
Clarity Press, 9780986076992, 308pp.
This stellar collection of Paul Craig Roberts essays dating from 2013 explores the extreme dangers in Washington's imposition of vassalage on other countries and Washington's resurrection of distrust among nuclear powers, the very distrust that Reagan and Gorbachev worked to eliminate. Roberts explains how the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 removed the only check on Washington's ability to act unilaterally. The United States' position as the sole remaining superpower led to the euphoric proclamation of "the end of history" and to Washington's presumption of the victory of "American democratic-capitalism" over all other systems. The neoconservatives became entrenched in successive American administrations, both Republican and Democratic. Their ideology of US global hegemony-the doctrine that no other power will be allowed to arise that could constrain US unilateral action-has become a foundational premise of US foreign policy and has led to reckless intervention in Ukraine and an irresponsible assault on Russian national interest. In pursuit of hegemony, Washington has expanded NATO to Russia's border, instigated "color revolutions" in former constituent parts of the Soviet Union, announced a "pivot to Asia" to encircle China, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine, demonized Putin, and imposed warlike sanctions against Russia. These reckless and irresponsible actions have brought back the risk of nuclear war. This succession of events has impelled Roberts-following an illustrious career in government, journalism and academia-to perform the clarifying function abandoned by the mainstream media of examining the agendas at work and the risks entailed. His insightful commentary is followed all over the world. In February 2015, Roberts was invited to address a major International conference in Moscow hosted by Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State Institute of International Relations, where he delivered the address which is the title of this book. In Roberts' assessment, Washington's drive for hegemony is not only unnecessary but unrealistic and filled with peril for Americans and the world at large. This book is a call to awareness that ignorance and propaganda are leading the world toward unspeakable disaster.

Organic Agriculture for Biodiversity and Pest Control
Dear friends and colleagues,
RE: Organic agriculture for biodiversity and pest control
A recently published paper in the journal Nature provides evidence that organic farming promotes evenness among natural enemy species, a measure of biodiversity. Furthermore, it is species evenness, rather than species richness that is more important for pest control, meaning that organic agriculture can provide effective pest control through natural enemies and pathogens of pests.
Please find below a report on the issue by the Institute of Science in Society, UK. It is also available at www.i-sis.org.uk
Lim Li Ching
Websites: www.twnside.org.sg, www.biosafety-info.net
ISIS Report 05/07/10
Scientists find organic fields have more even distribution of natural enemy species, thereby providing significantly better pest control than conventional fields and promoting plant growth. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho
Intensive industrial agriculture has resulted in great losses of biodiversity due to the destruction of natural habitats, the displacement of indigenous varieties by green revolution monocultures, the massive diversion of water for irrigation, and the heavy inputs of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Pesticides are non-selective, they kill pests as well as the natural enemies that devour the pests and keep pest populations down. Organic agriculture reduces the damage due to pesticides by eliminating or limiting their use, and is generally acknowledged to result in protecting and increasing biodiversity (see [1] Food Futures Now: *Organic *Sustainable *Fossil Fuel Free , ISIS report). But does organic agriculture give better pest control? Ecologists have been challenged to provide real evidence for that [2].
Two different measures of biodiversity
There are two measures of biodiversity, species richness – the number of species – and species evenness – the relative abundance of those species. Species richness and evenness can vary independently. Communities dominated by a few common species and many rare species have low evenness; whereas those with species more equally represented have high evenness.
Comparisons on biodiversity have focused largely on species richness. Similarly, conservation efforts are concentrated on restoring or maintaining the number of species without regard for evenness.
Researchers led by David Crowder at Washington State University, Pullman, and University of Georgia, Atlanta, in the United States have published new research clearly demonstrating that organic farming promotes evenness among natural enemy species, and it is species evenness, rather than species richness that is more important for pest control [3]. This new result not only confirms the overriding benefit of organic agriculture over industrial farming, but also has far-reaching implications both for conservation and the practice of biological control.
Three different investigations yield the same answer
The researchers investigated the problem in three different ways: comparing organic and conventional potato fields in Washington State, comparing organic and conventional farms in general, and finally setting up their own experiment in field enclosures. All give the same answer, pointing to the even distribution of natural enemies and pathogens of pests as the key to effective pest control in organic farms.
The team began by analyzing data from surveys of predators and pathogens of the Colorado beetle, a serious pest of potato fields in Washington State. They found no impact on species richness between organic and conventionally managed fields. However, evenness of natural enemies was significantly greater in organic than conventional potato fields. But was it true of organic management itself or just a feature of potato fields?
So they scoured the literature for studies that reported abundances of at least three taxonomic groups of natural enemies in organic and conventional fields of the same crop. They found 38 studies providing comparisons for 40 predators and eight insect pathogens. Again it revealed significantly greater evenness in organic fields than conventional fields.
To put their finding to a further test, the researchers carried out an experiment in which they changed the distribution of predators and pathogens in field enclosures, and recorded the effects on plant growth and potato beetle mortality. The distributions of natural enemies and pathogens used in the experiment reproduced those that they have found in field surveys – seven different predator distributions and six different pathogen distributions – making a total of 42 combinations of predator-pathogen evenness. The total densities and richness of pathogen and predators were held constant in all the combinations.
They found that increasing natural enemy evenness in the field enclosures "triggered a powerful trophic cascade beneficial to plants and harmful to herbivores [pests]". Evenness among predators and pathogens acted in concert to increase plant biomass, so that the largest plants occurred when both predators and pathogens were evenly distributed. Above ground biomass correlated with potato tuber yield. Consistent with this effect, greater natural enemy evenness increased potato beetle mortality, with effects of predator and pathogen evenness again acting independently to complement each other completely.
Another bonus is that predators survived better with predator evenness, and were unaffected by pathogen evenness. In the potato system, the evenness increase is accompanied by an 18 percent lower pest density and 35 percent larger plants. It appears that evenness may also promote resilience to disturbance, acting as a buffer against environmental stress, and enabling the community to recover faster.
The researchers added [3]: "Our results strengthen the argument that rejuvenation of ecosystem function requires restoration of species evenness rather than just richness. Organic farming potentially offers a means of returning functional evenness to ecosystems."
Scientists at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, who commented on the work agreed. They wrote [2]: "The control of pests by their natural enemies is a valuable ecosystem service: unpaid, and often overlooked." In their view, the study also demonstrated the damaging effects of pesticides on natural enemies. Even subtle damage such as changes in species evenness can have large and measurable effects on crop performance. The reduction in natural control associated with pesticide use is probably one reason why the yields from organic farming are often comparable to those from conventional farming (see evidence reviewed in [1]).

Well I would love to say Family and Consumer is alive however I just lost my position after 17 years of dedicated service to Marlboro township School district in Marlboro New Jersey. It was extremely relevant. I had the great pleasure of not only working with the general school population but also taught life skills to our autistic and special needs students. We incorporated all areas into FACS. I did a unit on kitchen math we discussed geography in our international foods unit . History in the origins of recipes and of course English language arts and reading in the dissection and breakdown of reading and following recipes.

Q: Filling D3.js Pie Graph with SQL Query I am currently using D3.js to make a pie graph. The data is stored in a MSSQL database, which is then converted to JSON using PHP. Here is my code that does that
<?php
// Server Name
$myServer = "SRVR";

// Database
$myDB = "TestDB";

// If using Windows Authentication, get rid of, "'UID'=>$myUser, 'PWD'=>$myPass, "
// Notice that the latest driver uses sqlsrv rather than mssql
$conn = sqlsrv_connect('Database'=>$myDB));

// Change TestDB.vwTestData to YOURDB.dbo.YOURTABLENAME
$sql = "SELECT col, SUM(num) AS 'value'
        FROM db
        GROUP BY col";

$result = array();

do {
    while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($data, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)){
        $result[] = $row;
    }
} while ( sqlsrv_next_result($data) );

// This will output in JSON format if you try to hit the page in a browser
echo json_encode($result);

sqlsrv_free_stmt($data);
sqlsrv_close($conn);
?>

This works fine. I've tested it, and it outputs JSON in something like this:
[{"col":null,"value":247.9042254},{"col":"value1","value":16.8151576061},{"col":"value2","value":235.4833175609},{"col":"value3","value":2316.072432028},{"col":"value4","value":8904.4001532729}]

How can I put this in the graph? Here is my .js code
(function() {
    var width = 960,
        height = 500,
        radius = Math.min(width, height) / 2;

    var color = d3.scale.ordinal()
        .range(["#98abc5", "#8a89a6", "#7b6888", "#6b486b"]);

    var arc = d3.svg.arc()
        .outerRadius(radius - 10)
        .innerRadius(0);

    var pie = d3.layout.pie()
        .sort(null)
        .value(function(d) { return // Something goes here I assume });

    var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
        .attr("width", width)
        .attr("height", height)
        .append("g")
        .attr("transform", "translate(" + width / 2 + "," + height / 2 + ")");

    d3.json("scripts/graphs/script.php", function(error, data) {
        data.forEach(function(d) {

            // Something needs to go here?

        });

        var g = svg.selectAll(".arc")
            .data(pie(data))
            .enter().append("g")
            .attr("class", "arc");

        g.append("path")
            .attr("d", arc)
            .style("fill", function(d) { return color(d.data.age); });

        g.append("text")
           .attr("transform", function(d) { return "translate(" + arc.centroid(d) + ")"; })
           .attr("dy", ".35em")
           .style("text-anchor", "middle")
           .text(function(d) { return d.data.age; });

    });
})();

If someone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks!

A: I figured it out. I used this code and customized it for JSON
https://gist.github.com/enjalot/1203641
Here is what I got
(function() {
    var w = 670,                        //width
    h = 326,                            //height
    r = 150,                            //radius
    color = d3.scale.category20c();     //builtin range of colors

    d3.json("script.php", function (data) {
        var vis = d3.select("body")
            .append("svg:svg")              //create the SVG element inside the <body>
            .data([data])                   //associate our data with the document
                .attr("width", w)           //set the width and height of our visualization (these will be attributes of the <svg> tag
                .attr("height", h)
            .append("svg:g")                //make a group to hold our pie chart
                .attr("transform", "translate(" + r + "," + r + ")")    //move the center of the pie chart from 0, 0 to radius, radius

        var arc = d3.svg.arc()              //this will create <path> elements for us using arc data
            .outerRadius(r);

        var pie = d3.layout.pie()           //this will create arc data for us given a list of values
            .value(function(d) { return d.value; });    //we must tell it out to access the value of each element in our data array

        var arcs = vis.selectAll("g.slice")     //this selects all <g> elements with class slice (there aren't any yet)
            .data(pie)                          //associate the generated pie data (an array of arcs, each having startAngle, endAngle and value properties)
            .enter()                            //this will create <g> elements for every "extra" data element that should be associated with a selection. The result is creating a <g> for every object in the data array
            .append("svg:g")                //create a group to hold each slice (we will have a <path> and a <text> element associated with each slice)
                .attr("class", "slice");    //allow us to style things in the slices (like text)

        arcs.append("svg:path")
            .attr("fill", function(d, i) { return color(i); } ) //set the color for each slice to be chosen from the color function defined above
            .attr("d", arc);                                    //this creates the actual SVG path using the associated data (pie) with the arc drawing function

        arcs.append("svg:text")                                     //add a label to each slice
            .attr("transform", function(d) {                    //set the label's origin to the center of the arc
                //we have to make sure to set these before calling arc.centroid
                d.innerRadius = 0;
                d.outerRadius = r;
                return "translate(" + arc.centroid(d) + ")";        //this gives us a pair of coordinates like [50, 50]
        })
        .attr("text-anchor", "middle")                          //center the text on it's origin
        .text(function(d, i) { return data[i].col; });        //get the label from our original data array
    })
})();

So what was wrong was that I wasn't connecting the key values from the JSON, to the variables in the JS. Here are the lines to change:
var vis = d3.select("<PUT DIV ID HERE>")
.value(function(d) { return d.<PUT NUMBER VALUE KEY NAME HERE>; });
.text(function(d, i) { return data[i].<PUT SLICE CATEGORY HERE>; });

A: I am not entirely certain what is not working about your code, but you could try something simple like:
d3.json("scripts/graphs/script.php", function(error, data) {
    data.forEach(function(d) {
        d.value = +d.value
    });

    var g...

Alternately, could you just call the php script and store the returned json object in a variable, then pass that variable to d3.json?

Mackenzie Chitwood, Lynchburg, Sr., 1st Base
Chitwood, a senior from Ferrum, Va., is now just three homeruns away from tying the ODAC single-season record after cracking two more in a sweep of Eastern Mennonite last week.

Winter has finally arrived in Madison. Even though I'm mired in the throes of a nasty cold, I couldn't resist taking Ox the Pugsley out for it's first snow ride.
Not ready for lake riding.
Once again, the Ox performed admirably. The rider didn't do too badly either, all things considered.


"Digital transformation" has achieved buzzword status. More often than not, it's misused, misinterpreted and misunderstood. We talked to Rackspace's Chief Digital Technologist Mike Bainbridge, whose focus is on helping businesses realise their digital potential and become more successful online. That's what we mean by digital transformation.
Digital transformation is about shifting your focus — from what is to what could be. It means understanding how technology can deliver the experiences your customers expect. It means going beyond websites and apps to improve every aspect of how you do business with your customers.
Technology is advancing exponentially. Experts say we'll make more progress in the next 20 years than the last 300. As our possibilities expand, it's getting harder and harder to imagine the world in five years' time, let alone plan for it.
But one thing is certain: You can't bank on the competitive advantage you have today. From here on out, you'll always need one eye on the future. "If you don't have a digital strategy, then you don't have a strategy," declares Bainbridge.
More and more, the alternative to transformation is disruption. And no one wants to face that. Digital disruption is what happens when the incumbents get lazy and take their eye off the ball. It's outside forces acting on you, instead of being proactive and leading the way.
Think taxis vs. Uber. Sure, taxi companies could have developed their own digital interfaces and evolved their model. But they didn't. So outsiders moved in. For the time being, that's how digital disruption seems to work. New business models are emerging, but not from the established players. The big winners are often new entrants. So transformation isn't just about growth, it's about survival.
The other lesson to learn from recent high-profile digital disruptions is that the businesses of tomorrow are service providers, not product owners. Airbnb doesn't own a single property, Spotify doesn't produce any music, and Netflix doesn't sell you its content. We've entered the age of the service economy and it's all about delivering, not selling.
The businesses that will thrive are the ones who understand and fully embrace digital transformation. True transformation is comprehensive. It's big-picture thinking. And it must be lead from the top down, with every department focused and aligned. Your IT department will be increasingly important as they spend less time on infrastructure and more time on revenue-generating streams. But if you're looking to IT to lead the change, then your C-suite is shirking its responsibilities.
We don't mean to scare you. Though it's okay to be a little bit afraid, if that's what keeps you moving forward. In the end, always remember that transformation is a journey. There's no finish line to cross. The goal is simply to keep on course in an ever-changing landscape.

During the process of detailing a vehicle, most individuals often ignore an important aspect which is the glass. Though the glass in your house shares a similarity with the car glass, it is crucial not to compare both of them as they are different. These commercial glasses have various uses and can be applied for several purposes. However, the components of the materials used in the production of side windows and windshields vary significantly.
You need to follow the right procedures by utilizing the proper materials and methods in cleaning the automotive glass to avoid damaging it. If one of these two factors is ignored, the windows may be damaged, and this will result in a waste of time. Ensure you clean the automotive glass appropriately by adhering to the following instructions.
It is not proper to make use of household glass cleaner on automotive glass. Use of an ammonia-free and alcohol-free cleaner is advisable for the cleaning of automotive glass. Application of ammonia in the interior part of the vehicle can lead to the dehydration of materials and lead to stain and cracks.
One of the best methods to apply your cleaners is to utilize a microfiber towel, as you would use for the detailing of the other parts of the car. Do not make use of paper towels as they can cause scratches to your glass surface. Microfiber towels have soft materials and can create an electrostatic charge which eliminates particulates from the glass instead of dispersing them. In the case where there is a need to take off gummy particles, you can make use of grease remover or mineral spirits.
If you desire a quality finish, the method of application of your window cleaner is as vital as the cleaner. You need to put your working environment into consideration. Make sure you do not clean the glass in places that are extremely hot as most of these cleaning products are known to evaporate quickly and leave particles.
Make use of different towels to eliminate and apply cleaning products, and make sure your towels are lodged such adequate pressure can be applied during the process of dirt removal. Instead of buffing in circles, utilize a straight up-and-down motion when removing cleaning products. Keep additional towels to be used when other sheets get soaked with dirt.
The way you move around your vehicle also play a crucial role. Start the process by washing the windows on the driver seat as well as the passenger side doors. Ensure you roll down the windows first to see the hidden glass when the windows are sealed. Make sure you turn the windows up again and complete the window cleaning process. Continue the process by moving around the exterior part of the vehicle by cleaning the side glass and the windshield. As soon as you are through with this cleaning of the outer glass, move into the vehicle.
This phase is complicated as the interior glass make the process of dirt detection harder. If you are sweating while washing the vehicle or you noticed that the place is warm, the best method is to cool down the interiors of the window to avoid scum from other cleaning products.
You will want to know the best time to use these products and when you will clean the windows if your job is to detail the entire vehicle. You might want to ensure the cleaners are left to dry or used later and windows are retouched. This applies to vehicles that have leather interiors as they will acquire their treatments and cleaners.
It is a common knowledge that cleaning of water spots is a herculean task when it comes to the issue of windows cleaning. Materials such as window cleaner and a soft toothbrush can be used to eliminate water spots. It is advisable to make use of deionized water to wash the car if the calcium levels in your water are high. When you apply this method, it will prevent your windows from spotting when they are cleaned with soap.
It is crucial to make a careful and precise assessment of your windshield and confirm if it needs to be fixed before starting the process as a dent to a windscreen is a complicated issue.
It is easier to repair bullseyes and small cracks. Several kits will insert sealant into the scratched area to ensure it is dried and these do not spoil the windshield. It is also possible to fix crack repairs but fixing then can be tough, you need to be sure you can handle the process before starting it.
Clean glass is the icing on the cake. Ensure the headlights and the side markers are correctly polished and wait until the end to clean the rearview mirror to make sure there are no leftovers from the interior cleaners. Ensure you make the clear plastic in the front base of the gauge cluster clean. Polish the brightwork and the interior trim part. Make sure you black out those tires.
If you can adhere to these guidelines, your customers will enjoy a perfect and clean glass that will earn their loyalty for an extended time. Doing this is one of the best ways to enhance the image of your business and increase your earnings.
