A Supportive and Growing Community
Raytown Quality Schools reflect an exceptional standard for personal achievement and conduct that is expected by the residents of the community. It's no less than they expect of themselves.
Our district serves a community located just south and east of Royals Stadium and includes the entire City of Raytown with parts of Kansas City and Independence.
The district boundaries cover more than 32 square miles with excellent access to major highways and thoroughfares. Other organizations such as the Raytown Area Chamber of Commerce, Raytown Emergency Assistance Program, and the Shepherd's Center of Raytown use the Raytown School District boundaries to define their service area. Although the school district serves more than one city, there is a true sense of a unified community within the school district.
Residents of the district care about each other's welfare and share a sense of pride in each other's accomplishments. This sense of community creates a welcoming and safe environment, a small-town feel in a predominantly suburban area. Those who have attended Raytown Quality Schools or have sent their children to our schools appreciate it and often stay, becoming lifelong residents. Community leaders work cooperatively to maintain the level of pride that has defined the community. School buildings are opened for community activities so that parents have more opportunities to visit. A 24-hour message line and a district web-site help keep parents informed at their own convenience.
Our area draws much of its history from the trails used by the pioneers who first visited the area in the early 1800's. The historic Santa Fe Trail runs right through the heart of the school district. Both Raytown High School and Blue Ridge Elementary are located on the trail.
It is not an understatement to say that the district is blessed with an active community. There is a strong faith-based community, active arts organizations, passionate historical societies and several not-for-profit agencies working toward the betterment of the area. Voters have continually supported capital improvements to the district to ensure the students and staff have a safe and clean educational environment.
Exceptional Benefits and Competitive Compensation
Health Insurance - Employees have four options. A portion of the cost is paid by the district for employees.
Life Insurance - $15,000 coverage for all employees working 10 hours or more per week.
Professional Liability Insurance - Provided for all teachers, nurses, and administrators with a maximum coverage of 2.5 million per occurrence.
Unemployment Insurance - All employees are covered by unemployment insurance.
Workers' Compensation Insurance - Provides certain medical, surgical and hospital treatment and, under some conditions, compensation for loss of earnings due to injuries arising out of and in the course of employment.
Sick Leave - Ten days per year to be used for personal illness, personal injury, or illness or death in the family of the employee. Unused days are added to the following year for a total of up to 100 days.
Personal Business Leave – Up to four sick days per year may be used for personal business (2 days consecutively)
Family Medical Leave - 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family and medical reasons. (Available after first 12-months and worked at least 1,250 hours during that 12-month period)
Bereavement Leave - Three days per year may be used as bereavement
Raytown Schools Wellness Center - houses both a free on-site health clinic available to employees on district insurance and a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Every employee and their spouse receive a free membership to the fitness facility.
Award Winning Staff Development and New Teacher Supports
Before the students arrive, and even before our current teachers return, you will take part in a four-day new teacher orientation. This four-day experience is more rewarding than just the contract extension. The program gives you the opportunity to meet other new teachers, instructional coaches, administrators and school leaders. You will learn about the instructional programs that our district embraces. To make sure that you have time to acclimate to your new workplace, you will have two separate half-days to meet with your new principal and work in your school.
In addition to the introduction of instructional strategies, you will also learn about classroom management. Ice-breaking ideas for your first few days in the classroom will be shared.
Instructional Programs and Strategies
As mentioned above, we will take time to introduce you to the programs and strategies that we utilize in our district. Here are a few for your reference:
Standardized Curriculum District Wide
SISK12
PBS/BIST
Differentiated Reading
Math Academies
Math Flex Groupings
Doug Lemov's Teach Like a Champion Techniques
Follow-Ups and Mentors
Each month you will reconvene with fellow teachers for reinforcement of strategies that are introduced at the beginning of the year. Large sums of new information are avoided at these meetings to prevent overwhelming you.
Elementary Teaching and Learning Coaches and Secondary Department Chairs will serve as ready resources throughout the year. Mentor teachers are trained and compensated to be mentors to you. Your building principal will be a constant means of support in your building.
Our students need your support to succeed, and you need support to make student achievement possible.
In addition, you will receive four half-day releases to observe and plan with your mentor or another resource. Early release days have been scheduled every Wednesday throughout the year for professional development.


Green tomatoes are a simple folk remedy to use against varicose. Wash a few green tomatoes and chop them into pieces or circles.
You should apply the chopped green tomatoes onto the knots of varicose veins, directly onto the veins and onto the venous capillary network. If necessary fix them with bandages. Let them act until you feel tingling on the skin. If you cannot endure the tingling sensation for a longer period of time, remove them as soon as you feel strong tingling and wash the veins with cold water. In case you handle and tolerate this procedure well, the result will be visible very quickly. This procedure should be repeated 5 times a day, preferably in a row.
After two weeks of implementation of this treatment, the venous nodes will begin to fade. The capillary network, nodes, swelling and pain in the veins will also disappear.
The procedure is similar with green tomatoes. Ripe red tomatoes should be washed and sliced into thin pieces. Then you need to put them onto the affected veins and let them act for 3 to 4 hours, fixed with a bandage. You need to use new and fresh tomato slices in the next treatment. This procedure is best done in the evening or at night. The duration of treatment is individual. You can practice the treatment all summer long by combining it with green tomatoes.
Tomatoes possess healing properties. These vegetables have substance, which on its properties is very similar to acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). This acid is considered an anticoagulant, which thins the blood. The tomato contains flavonoids which strengthen blood vessels' walls.


British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday conceded that she did not have enough support to present her divorce deal from the EU for a new vote in Parliament.
The deal would need to be passed by Parliament this week if Britain is to meet a new May 22 deadline.
What is the current situation on Brexit?
the "nuclear option" of revoking Article 50, i.e. canceling the notification London sent Brussels of its intention to leave the bloc.
What happens next? If May's deal is not accepted by Parliament in a "meaningful" vote this week, lawmakers will have to vote on whether to accept the extension to April 12.
The last option would entail the UK voting in EU elections in May, something Brexiteers are anxious to avoid.
If they do not, the legal ramifications are unclear.
What are the objections to May's deal? Many lawmakers want to see the UK stay in a customs union or the single market with the EU, both of which options go against May's position. A customs union would stop London making its own trade agreements with non-EU countries, while a single market means Britain would have to accept EU policies on migration, contradicting two of the Brexiteers' most-cherished aims.

Q: Missing Web Application directory in JBoss 7.1.1 When I deploy my application from Eclipse IDE to JBoss 7.1.1 application server, I found myapp.war directory under <JBOSS_HOME\standalone\deployments>directory.
But when I deploy myppa.war file of my application from JBoss Admin Console. I did not found under <JBOSS_HOME\standalone\deployments>directory.
Where can I get the deployment folder of war in JBoss 7.1.1?

A: JBOSS uses vfs when deployment is done using Admin Console:
Try out the following location:
  ${JBOSS_HOME}/standalone/tmp/vfs

Inside this directory you will find mainly two types of directories starting with:
 deployment*
 temp*

Now inside the directory starting with temp, you will find the contents of the war file. The important point is to pick the latest one.
On browsing the directory you should see a directory starting with content* and inside this directory, the contents of webapp.

\section{Introduction}\label{introduction}

The modern theory on optimal financial portfolio construction was formulated by Markowitz in 1952, laying the foundations for one of the most studied problems in quantitative finance \cite{portf_sel_markowitz}. Generally, it can be rewritten as a quadratic constrained problem, using as the objective function, respectively, portfolio expected return with a given level of risk, or portfolio volatility for a fixed expected return \cite{jorion1992portfolio}. In this formulation the decision variables are the weights associated with each asset, which can be interpreted as the ideal amount to be invested to obtain the best financial allocation of the asset classes defined a priori. A number of works have been developed to investigate the Portfolio Optimization problem in its multiple nuances \cite{maringer_2008} \cite{cesarone_2009} \cite{cesarone_2011}.

The quadratic nature of the problem makes Quantum Computing a particularly interesting approach to find the optimal solution \cite{marzec2016portfolio}, \cite{kerenidis_2019}. By formulating Portfolio optimization as Ising Model or, equivalently, as Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem \cite{10.3389/fphy.2014.00005}, special-purpose Quantum Computers, called Quantum Annealers, can be employed to find the minimum of the corresponding energy function and hence the solution to the task of optimally investing on a pool of assets \cite{rosenberg2015solving}, \cite{phillipson2021portfolio}.

Quantum Annealers focus on solving optimization problems \cite{morita_2008}, \cite{incudini2022computing} \cite{Kadowaki_1998} and their capabilities are being continuously investigated \cite{Asproni2020}. In the Quantum Computing literature, a number of works have analyzed how the Portfolio Optimization and similar tasks can be formulated as QUBO \cite{PhysRevApplied.15.014012}, \cite{Black7}, \cite{kerenidis2019quantum}, \cite{rebentrost2018quantum}. Little attention has been drawn to the task of building and solving a QUBO formulation for the maximization of the Sharpe Ratio, instead of maximizing returns and minimizing risk.
A previous work \cite{venturelli} tried to tackle this by solving a proxy of the Sharpe Ratio, however it is not clear yet how a QUBO solution performs when the Sharpe Ratio is rewritten as faithfully as possible into a quadratic formulation.

In this work, we take the classical quadratic formulation that can be employed to solve the maximization of the Sharpe Ratio, hereafter called Max Sharpe, and build the corresponding QUBO formulation. Then, we compare the results with the classical approach and the formulation provided in \cite{venturelli}.
In section \ref{description} we dive deeper into the problem and the data used in our investigation; in section \ref{QUBO} we introduce the QUBO model and elaborate on the different formulations for the Max Sharpe problem; finally, in section \ref{results} we show the results of our experiments.

\section{Problem and data description}\label{description}

The aim of Portfolio Optimization is to determine an assets allocation (portfolio) able to maximize or minimize a desired objective function. In this work we focus on maximizing a specific objective function - the Sharpe ratio, defined as ratio between the expected return of a portfolio $\mu$ and the square root of its variance ${\sigma}^2$.  For a given set of  assets of cardinality $n$, portfolio allocation is represented as an n-tuple of weights $\{\omega_i\}_{i \in [1,n]}$, where $\omega_i\geq0$ and ${\sum_{i=1}^n {\omega_i}}=1$. The weights express the ratio between the amount of assets of type $i$ and the total amount of assets in the considered portfolio. For each asset it is known the price at a given time $t$ with a chosen frequency.

We focus on the sequence of adjusted close daily prices of the $505$ assets belonging to the $S\&P500$ within the time interval $[2013,2020]$ fetched from Yahoo! Finance. We apply a data preparation procedure as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Remove null values and exclude assets whose time series show null values for consecutive time steps, i.e. days in our case;
    \item Compute the simple returns $R_t$ defined as ${R_t}={{{P_t}-{P_{t-1}}}\over{P_{t-1}}}$ and the log-returns $logR_t$ defined as $logR_t = \log(1+R_t)$;
    \item Compute the sample expected returns and sample covariance matrix, annualizing for a frequency factor equal to $252$, which is the assumed number of trading days in a year;
    \item Remove assets with negative expected return.
\end{enumerate}
The last step is not strictly necessary in a generic Portfolio Optimization strategy - it is however an assumption for the QUBO formulation proposed in this work, explained in more detail in Section \ref{quadratic}. The first step leaves $471$ assets while the last one leads to $460$ assets in the case of simple returns and $432$ in the case of log-returns.

We assume that for an arbitrary asset $i$ the series $\{R_{i,t}\}_{t\geq1}$, or equivalently the series of log-returns, is a sequence of independent and identically distributed Gaussian random variables. This assumption enables the use of sample mean and sample covariance matrix as estimators for the expected return and the covariance matrix of the assets. Even though different choices for the financial time series models might be arguably more suitable for the dataset of interest, the study of such modeling is out of the scope of this work.

The problem that we solve, which we will denote as \textit{Max-Sharpe} problem from now on, is formulated as
\begin{align}\label{maxsharpe}
    \max & \frac{w^T\mu}{\sqrt{w^T\Sigma w}}\\
    \text{s.t. } & \sum_{i=1}^N w_i = 1\\
    & w_i \geq 0 \quad \forall i=1,\cdots,N
\end{align}
\newline
where $\Sigma$ is the variance-covariance matrix of the assets and hence $\sqrt{w^T\Sigma w}$ is the portfolio's standard deviation.

\section{QUBO formulation}\label{QUBO}

Quantum Annealers are special-purpose Quantum Computers that aim to find the ground state, i.e. state of minimum energy, of the Ising Hamiltonian:
\begin{equation}\label{ising}
    H_{Ising} = \sum_{i=1}^N h_i S_i + \sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{j=i+1}^N J_{ij} S_i S_j
\end{equation}
\newline
where:
\begin{itemize}
    \item $N$ is the number of variables;
    \item $S_i \quad \forall i=1,\cdots,N$ is the spin variable such that $S_i \in \{-1,1\}$;
    \item $h_i \quad \forall i=1,\cdots,N$ is called \textit{bias} and represents the strength that leads the corresponding $S_i$ variable to take either value $-1$ or $1$;
    \item $J_{ij} \quad \forall i=1,\cdots,N \quad \forall j=i+1,\cdots,N$ is called \textit{coupler} and encodes the relationship between pairs of variables $(S_i, S_j)$.
\end{itemize}

The ground state of the Ising Hamiltonian is the solution that minimizes the energy function (\ref{ising}), which is equivalent to the QUBO model
\begin{equation}\label{qubo}
    \sum_{i=1}^N\sum_{j=i}^N Q_{ij} x_i x_j
\end{equation}
\newline
where:
\begin{itemize}
    \item $x_i = \frac{S_i+1}{2} \quad \forall i=1,\cdots, N$, leading to $x_i \in \{0,1\} \quad \forall i=1,\cdots,N$;
    \item $Q_{ij}$ encodes the biases and couplers resulting from the change of variables for the cases, respectively, $i=j$ and $i<j$.
\end{itemize}

In Quantum Computing literature and industrial applications, the QUBO model has drawn attention as a technique to solve Combinatorial Optimization problems, once thoroughly reformulated as (\ref{qubo}), with Quantum Computers, with the goal of increasing solution quality and reducing computational time.

In this work we focus on two potential QUBO formulations for the Max-Sharpe Portfolio Optimization problem. In Section \ref{vk} we detail the first potential formulation, extending on the work in \cite{venturelli}. In Section \ref{quadratic} we introduce a new QUBO model for a classical quadratic formulation of the Max-Sharpe problem.

\subsection{Sharpe Ratio Proxy formulation}\label{vk}

The approach proposed in \cite{venturelli} to tackle the Max-Sharpe problem focuses on finding suitable coefficients for the QUBO formulation (\ref{qubo}) that reflect the Sharpe Ratio maximization. Analyzing the linear and quadratic terms separately, i.e. writing the QUBO formulation as

\begin{equation}\label{vk-qubo}
    \sum_{i=1}^N a_i q_i + \sum_{i=1}^N\sum_{j=i+1}^N b_{ij} q_i q_j,
\end{equation}

where $q_i\in\{0,1\}$ $\forall i=1,\cdots,N$, the work by \cite{venturelli} encodes the ratio of expected return over standard deviation of each asset $i$ in the corresponding coefficient $a_i$, while the correlation between pairs of assets is represented through the coefficients $b_{ij}$.

Starting from this formulation, in our work:
\begin{itemize}
    \item We disregard potential preprocessing steps that have been performed in \cite{venturelli} (e.g. binning values);
    \item We extend the formulation to solve the optimization problem that allocates the optimal amount of investment to each asset, thus expanding on the work \cite{venturelli} which aimed at selecting the optimal assets without focusing on the quantity of budget invested.
    \item We discretize problem variables, i.e. the amount of investment to be found for each asset, thus resorting to binary variables, each associated with a discretization coefficient - a detailed explanation is given below.
\end{itemize}

In our implementation, the coefficients are built such that:

\begin{itemize}
    \item $a_i = \frac{\mu_i}{\sigma_i}$, where $\mu_i$ is the expected return and $\sigma_i$ is the standard deviation of asset $i$ and, for the sake of simplicity but without loss of generality, we do not consider any risk-free rate component in the calculation of returns;
    \item $b_{ij} = \rho_{ij}$, where $\rho_{ij}$ is the correlation between asset $i$ and asset $j$.
    \item We introduce additional discretization coefficients $d_k \quad \forall k=1,\cdots,K$ such that the continuous portfolio weights $w_i$ are discretized such that \\$w_i = \sum_{k=1}^K d_k x_{ik}$, i.e. we take $d_k = 2^{k-1}/500 \quad \forall k=1,\cdots,K-1$, $d_K = 1-\sum_{k=1}^{K-1}d_k$ and $K=9$.
\end{itemize}

Our QUBO formulation for the Sharpe Ratio maximization writes:

\begin{equation}\label{qubo_sr_venturelli}
    \sum_{i=1}^N a_i \left(\sum_{k=1}^K d_k x_{i,k}\right)\ + \sum_{i=1}^N\sum_{j=i+1}^N  b_{ij} \left(\sum_{k=1}^K d_k x_{i,k}\right) \left(\sum_{k=1}^K d_k x_{j,k}\right)
\end{equation}

The choice for the $d_k$ allows to discretize real numbers in the closed interval $[0,1]$ with a granularity equal to $0.002$ which means, in terms of percentage, that the minimum investment allowed on a single asset is $0.2\%$.

Then, in order to obtain feasible solutions, we add the following constraint term to the QUBO formulation:
\begin{equation}\label{venturelli_constraint}
    \sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{k=1}^K d_k x_{ik} = 1.
\end{equation}

Finally, the overall QUBO formulation is modeled as follows:
\begin{equation}
    Q = \lambda_0 H_0 + \lambda_1 H_1
\end{equation}

where:
\begin{itemize}
    \item $\lambda_0$ and $\lambda_1$ are hyperparameters that must be tuned in order to find solutions that are both feasible and yield the highest value for the Sharpe Ratio,
    \item $H_0$ is the QUBO-formulated objective function \ref{qubo_sr_venturelli},
    \item $H_1$ is the QUBO-formulated constraint \ref{venturelli_constraint} derived from the quadratic form $\left(\sum_{i=1}^N \sum_{k=1}^K d_k x_{ik} - 1\right)^2$.
\end{itemize}

Using this formulation, no change of variables is needed - besides introducing
a discretization approach. This enables the integration of additional QUBO terms to model different characteristics of the optimal portfolio required (e.g. introducing additional constraints or objective function terms).

On the other hand, it must be noted that such a formulation is used as a proxy for the Sharpe Ratio, as its optimization does not mathematically equate to the maximization of the Sharpe Ratio as it is defined (ref. \ref{maxsharpe}). Namely, defining for simplicity the variables $z_m = x_{ik}$ $\forall m=1,\cdots,K*N$ and knowing that $K=9$:
$$
\sum_{i=1}^{9N} \sum_{j=i+1}^{9N} Q_{ij} z_i z_j \neq \frac{\mu^Tw}{\sqrt{w^T\Sigma w}}
$$

Building on this consideration, we take the quadratic model for the Max-Sharpe problem as introduced in \cite{cornuejols_2006} and propose a new formulation by implementing it as a QUBO model. Such choice allows to maintain faithfulness with the original Sharpe Ratio definition. This is described in greater detail in section \ref{quadratic}.

\subsection{Proposed formulation}\label{quadratic}

Maximizing the Sharpe Ratio as defined in \ref{maxsharpe} is a nonlinear optimization problem. \cite{cornuejols_2006} provides a quadratic reformulation of the problem by introducing a change of variables, namely:

\begin{align}\label{reformulated}
    \min & \quad y^T\Sigma y\\
    \text{s.t. } & \left(\mu - r_f e \right)^T y = 1\\
    & (y, k)\in \mathcal{Y}
\end{align}

where $\mathcal{Y} := \{y\in \mathbb{R}^N, k\in \mathbb{R}$ $\vert$ $k>0, w=\frac{y}{k}\in \mathcal{W}\} \cup (0,0)$, $r_f$ is the risk-free rate, $e$ is the vector of ones, $\mathcal{W}$ is the set of feasible portfolios such that $e^Tw = 1 \quad \forall w\in\mathcal{W}$ and under the assumption that $\exists \hat{w} \in \mathcal{W}$ $ \vert$ $ \mu^T\hat{w} > r_f$. This way, given the optimal solution $(y^*, k^*)$, it is possible to retrieve the optimal portfolio allocation as $w^* = \frac{y^*}{k^*}$.

In order to build our QUBO formulation for the problem above, we make the following considerations:
\begin{itemize}
    \item We consider $r_f = 0$,
    \item We identify the set of feasible portfolios $\mathcal{W} = \{w \in \mathbb{R}^N \vert e^Tw=1, w_i\geq0 \quad \forall i=1, \cdots, N\}$ , meaning that we do not introduce additional linear constraints
    \item We assume $\mu_i > 0 \quad \forall i = 1\cdots, N$
\end{itemize}

We rely on the latter in order to define the discretization of the new variables. This assumption, along with the constraint $\mu^T y = 1$, allows to find an upper bound for the $y$ variables equal to $\frac{1}{\mu_{min}}$, where $\mu_{min}$ is the smallest (positive) expected return of our assets.
This consideration is backed up by the following, which holds under our assumption:
$$\mu^Ty= 1 \implies \sum_{i=1}^N \mu_i y_i = 1 \implies y_i \leq \frac{1}{\mu_{min}} \quad \forall i=1, \cdots, N$$

The quadratic formulation of our optimization problem is as follows:

\begin{equation}\label{final_classical_problem}
\begin{aligned}
\text{min } & y^T\Sigma y \\
\text{s. t. } & \mu^Ty = 1 \\
& y\in \left[0, \frac{1}{\mu_{min}}\right] \\
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}

where $k^* = e^Ty^*$ and the optimal portfolio allocation in terms of assets weights $w$ is found as $w^* = \frac{y^*}{k^*}$.

For our dataset, we find that $\mu_{min}=0.00245$, from which follows that $\frac{1}{\mu_{min}} = 408.10190$. Therefore, in our QUBO model, we discretize the quantities in the range $\left[0, 408.10190\right]$. We define the following coefficients:
$$
c_k = 2^{k-1}/10 \quad \forall k=1, \cdots, H-1
$$
$$
c_H = \frac{1}{\mu_{\min}} - \sum_{k=1}^{H-1} c_k
$$

where $H=12$ allows to represent the range $\left[0, 408.10190\right]$ with a discretization step equal to $0.1$.

Finally, our proposal for a novel QUBO formulation that maximizes the Sharpe Ratio under the assumptions previously declared writes as follows:

\begin{equation}
    Q = \lambda_0 H_0 + \lambda_1 H_1
\end{equation}

where:
\begin{itemize}
    \item $\lambda_0$ and $\lambda_1$ are hyperparameters that must be tuned in order to find solutions that are both feasible and yield the highest value for the Sharpe Ratio,
    \item $H_0$ is the QUBO-formulated objective function of problem \ref{final_classical_problem}, derived from discretizing the $y$ variables with the set of coefficients $c_k$,
    \item $H_1$ is the QUBO-formulated constraint of problem \ref{final_classical_problem}, derived from discretizing the $y$ variables in the quadratic form $\left(\mu^T y - 1\right)^2$  with the set of coefficients $c_k$.
\end{itemize}

\section{Results}\label{results}

We carry out our investigation on the data detailed in section \ref{description}, implementing both formulations from sections \ref{vk} and \ref{quadratic} and solving the optimization problems through D-Wave's QBSolv solver and D-Wave Hybrid's solver.

Figure \ref{returns_distribution} shows the comparison between the distributions of simple and log returns. Given our assumptions on the Gaussian distribution of the assets, we perform a Shapiro test on the two distributions of returns and base our optimization on the data that shows the highest probability of following a Gaussian distribution, which leads to suggesting the use of log-returns.

    \caption{Quantile-Quantile plots for simple returns (a) and log returns (b). The returns are calculated as defined in section \ref{description}.}
    \label{returns_distribution}
\end{figure}

In order to ensure that we find the highest quality solutions, we run a calibration procedure that aims at finding the best values for $\lambda_0$ and $\lambda_1$ of both formulations separately. We run multiple QUBO instances as these parameters vary, repeat the procedure for each combination of QUBO formulation and solver and finally obtain that the following optimal values. A detailed explanation of our analysis is provided in the Appendix. The optimal values found are:

\begin{itemize}
    \item $\lambda_0 = 1.2631$, $\lambda_1 = 300$ for the Sharpe Ratio Proxy formulation, solving with QBSolv
    \item $\lambda_0 = 1.2631$, $\lambda_1 = 300$ for the Sharpe Ratio Proxy formulation, solving with Hybrid
    \item $\lambda_0 = 0.7$, $\lambda_1 = 300$ for the Proposed Formulation, solving with QBSolv
    \item $\lambda_0 = 0.7$, $\lambda_1 = 300$ for the Proposed Formulation, solving with Hybrid
\end{itemize}

    \caption{Violinplot of the results provided by each combination of QUBO formulation and solver. The statistics are drawn from $10$ feasible solutions with fixed values for the $\lambda$ coefficients. All solutions are feasible: for the Sharpe Ratio Proxy formulation, feasibility is given by the sum of asset weights equal to $1$, while for the Proposed Formulation we consider the constraint satisfied if $\mu^Ty$ (ref. to Section \ref{quadratic}) is in a neighbourhood of $1$, up to a factor equal to $2.5*10^{-4}$, which is given by multiplying the minimum discretization coefficient by the minimum expected return.}
    \label{fig_results}
\end{figure}

Then, having fixed the optimal values for $\lambda_0$ and $\lambda_1$, we retrieve $10$ more feasible solutions for each combination of QUBO formulation and solver, gathering stastistics of the results in terms of Sharpe Ratio values. In Figure \ref{fig_results} we compare the results with the solution found by the classical strategy implemented in the PyPortfolioOpt library \cite{pypfopt}, which solves the problem as formulated in \cite{cornuejols_2006}. The Sharpe Ratio Proxy formulation and the Proposed Formulation lead to, respectively, $3888$ and $5184$ binary variables.
The best results among the QUBO solutions are obtained by solving the Proposed Formulation with QBSolv. One noticeable factor is that for the two formulations, the best performances are reached by D-Wave Hybrid in one case and by QBSolv in the other. It can be argued that this effect is due to not only a different number of variables in the two formulations, for which the two solvers may behave differently, but also in the specific patterns of the QUBO matrices: given $432$ assets, the two discretization strategies yield a block size of $9$ variables representing each asset for the Sharpe Ratio Proxy formulation and a block size of $12$ variables for the Proposed Formulation.
This constitutes a significant difference in the percentage size of the blocks which can drive different solvers to obtain different results. Finally, the gap between the classical and the best QUBO solutions can be arguably related to the capabilities of the solvers. Indeed, producing a thinner discretization would allow on one hand to represent quantities closer to the continuous values, while on the other hand it would lead to an increase in the number of variables, potentially causing solvers to generate poorer results.

\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[height=8.3cm]{number_assets_selected.png}
    \caption{Minimum, maximum and mean (identified by the dot) in the number of assets selected over the 10 feasible solutions found. Left plot reports the statistics solving the two QUBO formulations using D-Wave Hybrid. Right plot, likewise, shows these results derived from the QBSolv solver.}
    \label{output}
\end{figure}

Figure \ref{output} shows statistics related to the number of assets selected using the two formulations and the different solvers. Having fixed the optimization strategy, the solutions show a two-fold result: the Proposed Formulation leads to a reduction in both the mean number of assets and reduces the variability. This behavior is found for each solver and can be arguably led back to the same previous remarks on the number of variables and block sizes differences in the two QUBO formulations.

\section{Conclusions}\label{conclusions}
The Portfolio Optimization problem is a well-known task in Financial Services and has recently drawn attention within the Quantum Computing literature thanks to the applicability of Quantum Annealers to solve the problem.

In this work we tackle a specific strategy to find the optimal allocation of investments over a set of assets, namely the Sharpe Ratio maximization. We extend a QUBO formulation proposed by \cite{venturelli}, highlighting its benefits and potential drawbacks and propose a novel QUBO formulation to address the drawbacks. We run our experiments on classical and Quantum Computing hardware and compare our results both in terms of the QUBO formulation and in terms of the optimization solver.

Easy Buffalo Tempeh "Wings" – What is Tempeh?
1. Cut tempeh into strips or cubes.
2. Steam tempeh for 15 minutes. This step is optional; I think it improves the texture and flavor and prevents it from drying out in later steps.
3. Combine flour and spices. Add in liquid gradually until a medium-consistency batter is achieved; it should be thick enough to stick to the tempeh and not drip off. You may need more or less liquid depending on the kind of flour you use.
4. Dip tempeh into the batter and then coat generously with breadcrumbs.
6. Combine buffalo sauce and optional vegan butter. Dip breaded tempeh into this mixture and return to air fryer for 5 additional minutes, or to oven for 10 additional minutes of cooking.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter mistakes
Revealing mistake: Trish jumps out the window and lands face up on the ground. You can plainly see it's Kimberly Beck's stunt double. She looks nothing like her. (01:21:35)
Revealing mistake: When Jason rips Jimbo from the door, it shows a close up of his hand. Looks and tears like rubber. (01:17:15)
Continuity mistake: When Trish's car stops, the licence plate goes from dirty to clean. (00:28:10)

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter trivia
Trivia: Peter Barton was hesitant when it came time to do his death scene, as he was previously burned by a magnesium flare doing a stunt on a previous film and required multiple surgeries afterwards. Sensing Peter's hesitation, Ted White requested that a pad be placed behind Peter's head when he was slammed into the shower wall.
moviedude345
Trivia: When Judie Aronson, who plays Samantha, was filming the scene in the raft where she gets killed, they were doing so many takes. She was wet and cold and wanted to warm up. The director refused until he got the shot he wanted which made Judie cry and freak out. Ted White, who played Jason, was so upset about this that he demanded they get her a blanket and let her get warmed up or he would walk off the set and not come back. Needless to say, Judie got warmed up very quickly.
Trivia: Body count is 13.

Jimmy: Hey, Ted, where the hell is the corkscrew?
[Jason appears and shoves the corkscrew into Jimmy's hand]
Jimmy: Ted. I think... I think when we get to town I should call Betty.
Ted: Jimbo, calling Betty is definitely a dead fuck thing to do. Look, first rule of love: never get rejected by the same girl twice. I mean, that's useless. If you want to make a fool out of yourself, always do it with someone new.
Jimmy: I don't know anyone new.
Ted: Well, sex is a great way to meet them.
Samantha: Come on, Sara. Strip and dip.
Sara: Sam, I said no.
Samantha: Well then, I'm gonna go under and stay under until you do.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter questions
Question: What happens to Tommy and Trish's mom? We never see what happens to her after something startles her outside.
Answer: Jason killed her. There was a scene shot but never shown where Trish discovers her mom's body.
SAZOO1975
Question: What's going on with Tommy in the final scene when he's hugging Trish in the hospital? Is he possessed or what?
Orlando Rocha
Chosen answer: He's not possessed. Dealing with Jason made him go crazy. In part 5, we find out he was in a mental hospital for a while, then gets sent to a home for troubled kids.
amycamille1975
Question: When Gordon (the dog) went through the window, did he voluntarily jump through it because he was startled, or did Jason throw him out?
Answer: You can see from the inside of the house Gordon jumping through the window by himself. It shows him jumping on the table then through the window.

What to do in Thailand, and Things To Do At Phuket Patong
Many travellers are searching for Things To Do At Phuket Patong, Phuket Thailand is quite a large province, a very popular part of the country for vacationers. It's definitely a way for you to immerse yourself in the culture of the country and get to know the customs and traditions of the locals. You can imagine all the markets you can visit for shopping and all the beach adventures you can enjoy. You can find Things To Do At Phuket Patong travel information.

Things To Do At Phuket Patong, First, have you been knowledgeable about where Phuket is situated in Thailand? It's southern Thailand, around the west coast. Will you plan on visiting any other parts of Thailand while you're there? You'll want to know where those locations have been in proximity to Phuket and exactly how you intend on getting around. Now, let's take a good look at those activities you should do while you're there.
First, you are going to be privy to at the very least 140 gift shops and specialty shops, including RK Fashions and Tailors and InStyle Fashion. Imagine having clothes tailored and fit to make, and think about all the unique souvenirs you will discover while you're there. That is a reasonably few shops available, but you do would like to remember again that Phuket can be a rather large and popular province. Still, you can't go far without running into something fun to perform.
After you're done shopping, it's a chance to go to some attractions. We'll talk specific beaches here in just a minute, however think about the specific beach adventures you may have. For instance, while vacationing in Phuket, you are able to continue different scuba and snorkeling adventures. One popular place is Simba Sea Trips, and then there is Super Divers, Aussie Divers Phuket and much more. You may also continue on different boat tours, offered by Two Sea Tour, Phuket Sail Tours and much more. Simba Sea Trips offers the two boat tours and also the diving and snorkeling adventures.
Wat Chalong is in Phuket Town, as well as the area looks beautiful. This building is a temple according to the reviews, and people describe gorgeous Thai architecture. Among the other attractions is nearby, too, a major Buddha. Several of the reviews discuss firecrackers, which sounds cool when you're flanked by beautiful scenery.
Talking about beautiful scenery, you will need to drop by Karon View Point, that is also evidently related to the Big Buddha. Reviewers describe the views as breathtaking, and therefore should help you realize you're likely to have ample photo ops while vacationing in Phuket Thailand. The viewpoint provides you with a good layout of your land, a vantage point if you will, and you will even begin to see the coastline.
Have you been wanting to see some great animals? You have to view the animals of Thailand, right? It's likely to be different than simply going to a zoo in america. So, one cool spot to go in Phuket if you're planning to see some animals may be the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project. You'll see considerably more than animals there, too. The gorgeous scenery continues with a waterfall and everything the national park has to offer its visitors.
These animals are rehabilitating inside their natural habitat, and I'm sure it's really cool to discover a project such as that. You can have a look into the wildlife that happen to be in Thailand. It's about time to think about those famous beaches you learn about that Thailand is offering. Phuket Thailand has among the best beaches for sure. By way of example, there exists Kata Noi Beach having its white sand and clear water.
That's the type of beach you wish to visit while you're on a break, right? Well, there are several others at the same time so do not forget that as you're planning your days around the beach. Evidently, this is probably the beaches in Phuket where waves can become big in line with the reviews. People also mention jet skis, and whatever beach you visit, you actually want to investigate the activities available.
Nai Harn Beach is yet another recommended beach stop when you're in Phuket. It's actually regarded as the best beach in Phuket along with the top attraction or 'thing to do' too. You can anticipate the identical type of beach in several ways, there are vendors there. Lifeguards are on duty according to the reviews, and swimming and the entire body surfing is very popular there.
To the animals! Specifically dogs are the main topic of another attraction in Phuket. It's the Soi Dog Foundation, and that is a rescue center which features cats. Isn't it cool how 2 of the very best attractions cope with rescuing animals? It's really neat that they have caused it to be a place that men and women would like to visit, along with the reviews discuss the knowledge being heartwarming.
The Large Buddha was mentioned earlier, nevertheless the attraction hasn't been formally introduced. It's the Phuket Big Buddha, in fact it is quite large indeed. The monument is made of white marble. I for one don't like visiting other attractions that handle religion, but you will find others who want to start to see the attraction, which happens to be rather new anyway.
No matter what you want to do while vacationing in Phuket, there is certainly plenty to learn. You will find a nightlife there, and you could imagine there will likely be some really awesome restaurants serving up local cuisine and more. There are also spas there. Is it possible to imagine receiving the experience of per day spa in Thailand? It might be quite not the same as the types of health spa services provided by one in your house.
Another beach which is popular to go to is Freedom Beach. Other attractions include Surf House, which appears like fun for the kids, Naka Market, Monkey Hill and Tiger Kingdom. This list continues, and you also are invited to invest some quality time vacationing in Phuket, Thailand. Things To Do At Phuket Patong

I was recently contemplating writing a post about how much Garuda has grown. She's much bigger now than when we first brought her home. This picture is not the best for scale, but she has really filled out! She is still a MASSIVE fraidy cat and at the bottom of the pecking order, but she is quick on her feet and definitely a survivor. Personally, I think she's the prettiest of the group.
But today I have something much more exciting to share: a blue egg! Actually, it's a very pale blue-green to be specific. This Easter egg is just in time!
We either have a new layer or something is amiss in chicken-town.
These are three of our hens' eggs, the one on the right just fetched today. The far left egg is from R.E.D., the middle one is from Checkers and the freakishly small egg on the right is either from a quail that snuck into the nest, from Checkers and she's having a moment, or perhaps Garuda finally started laying. Now, I'm halfway hoping it's just a fluke from Checkers, because Garuda is supposed to lay eggs that look like this or this (and in case you were wondering, an egg is NOT a chicken's abortion).
In any case, the egg I found this morning was ridiculously tiny. That is all.


Many people understand that muscles are an essential and integral part of our body, but they don't seem to realize how important massaging muscles can be for the body long-term. Of course, there are those who expound on how important it can be emotionally, and how it can bring a sense of relaxation, reduce anxiety and blood pressure, and help to relieve stress. This is especially true in the case of those who are constantly exerting their bodies, such as professional athletes. TimTam is a company that not only understands this concept but wants to help the public understand how important massaging can be in general.
TimTam certainly has the credibility to do this, as well. The two founders have quite the background, as they are both well-regarded in both the coaching and athlete worlds. Their website also provides so much information about how to improve one's life in general, showing that they genuinely care about their consumers. It doesn't matter whether you are someone who has been out of shape, and is finally looking to change their life, or a professional athlete who needs products that can help you maintain your lifestyle – TimTam can be the perfect resource for your needs.
The Mobile Trainer Package offers a value deal, bundling various products together for those who truly need maximum physical recovery.
The clothes offered work for any season, so you don't have to worry about TimTam not having summer or winter clothes, for example.
The website also offers massagers, therapy balls, therapy gels, and other accessories, as well.
Featured Products: Here, you will see some of the company's most popular products, which even sell out due to demand. These might include the Polish Pro, Mobile Trainer Package, and more.
You will see pop-up messages of what customers are ordering in real time, and even see their names and where they are ordering from, so you know that it is a real and legitimate company with products that are really in demand!
You will see excerpts from hundreds of positive reviews that have nothing but positive things to say about the product, to ensure that you are dealing with a reputable company.
Use a coupon code for getting 10% Off TimTam massager discount. The website also works to inform the consumer, not just sell them on their consumer products, so that even if you don't buy anything, you at least learn more about physical therapy. TimTam is a highly respected company that takes their customers' trust seriously, which is why they offer free shipping for certain orders, as well.
TimTam truly stands by the idea that taking care of your muscles can lead to a better quality of life. They also offer special discounts for those in the military, and first responders, as well. Ultimately, no matter who you are, if you want to improve your life physically and mentally, consider browsing through TimTam and seeing if they have the products that could help you.

Transformer saturates because of increase primary voltage. Increase primary voltage has a consequence increase of intensity of magnetic field and magnetic induction until "knee point voltage" at the magnetising curve. From "knee point voltage", if voltage increases, then intensity of magnetic field also increases, but magnetic induction stays almost equal like as before increasing of voltage or it increases a little (a lot less than in linear area)... This area of magnetising curve is called area of saturation. Area of saturation is very dangerous area for work of transformer, because in this area ferromagnetic core is warming more than in linear area, so it has a consequence damaging of ferromagnetic core.
Another reason that I can now think of is if you have a DC component in you excitation voltage. This can happen if your neutral point is at an elevated voltage. This can happen due to various reasons. One is geomagnetic induced currents caused by the interaction between the sun's flares and our earths magnetic field. Other reasons may be purely a bad quality neutral point which is subjected to sources of induced currents. Railway transformers sometimes have problems with this since they are installed near railways -which if not properly grounded -may cause an elevated neutral voltage.
In case of Generator transformers, an overfluxing protection is provided to safeguard the transformer against over excitation by generators and during load throw off condition. Generator transformers are also specified to have the capability to withstand the over fluxing condition viz 110%- continuous; 125%- for 60 seconds; 140%-for 5 seconds.

From Another Perspective
May 30, 2021 by Jamie Page
Passages:Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 4:28-29, 1 Samuel 17:3-11
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Ephesians 4:28–29
28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
1 Samuel 17:3–11
3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with a valley between them. 4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. 6 And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders. 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. And his shield-bearer went before him. 8 He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, "Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us." 10 And the Philistine said, "I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together." 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.


On the evening of our 25th wedding anniversary, we opened a bottle of Pol Roger 1996 Cuvée Winston Churchill. Minutes after a tender toast from our son ('To Mama and Papa, without whom I would not be here'), I saw tears in my husband's eyes. He is not one of those stiff-upper-lipped Englishman. He weeps when he watches Chariots of Fire and when he hears Elgar's Nimrod. On this special evening, our glasses filled with golden nectar as we celebrate a quarter of a century of married love, his eyes well up… because… England has won the Test Match.
Ours is a Sky-less household so the Test match highlights that begin at 7pm are as sacred as the ceremony in which he pledged his troth. I could have suggested that, on this significant occasion, perhaps a sunset stroll in the garden would be more fitting, but I would have seen that far-away look of regret so we sipped our Champagne against the backdrop of leather-on-willow.
This is how we got this far. Both the bride's side and the groom's side were mystified at our union, but we brought to our marriage gifts we didn't even know we had: the wisdom to know when to give in. In my family it was called 'the politics of shutting up'-knowing that you don't have to say everything you feel (more concept than reality with my own dear mama, as I recall). It also means that as soon as I hear the background crackle and unique banality of Test match radio, I go into a day-dreamy trance, re-examining my life, making lists of letters to write and menus to plan, much as I might do if I were sitting in a concert of Stockhausen.
We have friends who've celebrated significant milestones in their wedded lives with a renewal of their vows. That never entered our heads, and yet every time we attend a wedding, I listen in amazement to those quixotic promises-for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health. As my husband silently weeps, I silently think how rash are these vows, how little we really know as troths are pledged and words are given.
This summer my husband wept through the wedding of Will and Kate, and he wept at the wedding in Ely of Daisy and Nathan, a beautiful high-church wedding uniting a musical bride and a groom who is pianist and composer. He wept through the Bach, the Brahms, the Schubert and Schumann and only cheered up during the signing of the register at an unexpected version of Cole Porter's Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love, quite likely an Ely Cathedral first.
a little more common decency', and the more I believe in theologian Frederick Buechner's description of a marriage made in Heaven as 'one where a man and a woman become more richly themselves together than the chances are either of them could ever have managed to become alone'.


I should have posted this on Monday like I usually do but this sodding cold which I seem to be suffering from somewhat prevented me from lifting the lid of my laptop and typing any letters into the address bar. Forgive me cariads! In fact, my cold has inspired me to post this video. I wanted something to cheer me up and this did just that. Youtube Video of the Week Eps. 1 was of the great Charlie Sheen, so I've decided to pay tribute to his random, unhinged madness once again with this video posted by WakeUpToTheNWO on 5th April 2011. It's the great man spoofing himself. You may catch me uttering some of these words and phrases randomly if you see me on a train.

Q: Regex to remove white space from this exact pattern I am trying to remove the white space that is in this header that appears after the ":" character
batman: 100
robin: OFXSGML
superman: 102
wonderwoman: NONE
joker: USASCII
harley: 1252
aquaman: NONE
flash: NONE
iris: NONE

this is a regex pattern to match this exact header but I keep running into problems trying to delete the white space any help that can be offered is appreciated
^batman:\s100 robin:\sOFXSGML superman:\s102 wonderwoman:\s+NONE joker:\sUSASCII harley: 1252 aquaman:\s+NONE flash:\sNONE iris:\sNONE$

A: In your pattern you are using spaces, but if you want to match all lines you can replace them with \s every time you cross a newline.
Then you can after process it replacing :\s with : but note that the pattern is very precise match.

If you want to be more flexible, You can use a capture group to capture all before the : and then match the spaces after it.
^([^\s:]+:)[\p{Zs}\t]+(?=\S)

The pattern matches:

*

*^ Start of string

*([^\s:]+:) Capture group 1, match 1+ non whitespace chars other than : and then match the :

*[\p{Zs}\t]+ Match 1+ spaces

*(?=\S) Postive lookahead, assert a non whitespace char to the right (if there has to be one, else you can omit this part)

In the replacement use group 1 like $1
.NET regex demo

A: This regex (?<=:)\s will match a single whitespaces after every :
var text = @"batman: 100 robin: OFXSGML superman: 102 wonderwoman: NONE joker: USASCII harley: 1252 aquaman: NONE flash: NONE iris: NONE";
text = Regex.Replace(text, @"(?<=:)\s", "");

A: Shouldn't be any more complex than:
string source = @"
batman: 100
robin: OFXSGML
superman: 102
wonderwoman: NONE
joker: USASCII
harley: 1252
aquaman: NONE
flash: NONE
iris: NONE
".Trim();

Regex  rx     = new Regex(@"(?<=:)\s+");
string result = rx.Replace(source, "");

*

*(?<=:) is a zero-width positive lookbehind: it anchors the match on a :, without it being a part of the match.

*\s+ matches 1 or more whitespace characters (SP, HT, CR, LF, VT).
That changes:
batman: 100
robin: OFXSGML
superman: 102
wonderwoman: NONE
joker: USASCII
harley: 1252
aquaman: NONE
flash: NONE
iris: NONE

into
batman:100
robin:OFXSGML
superman:102
wonderwoman:NONE
joker:USASCII
harley:1252
aquaman:NONE
flash:NONE
iris:NONE

Alternatively, you can include the : in the match. It just changes the replacement text:
Regex  rx     = new Regex(@":\s+");
string result = rx.Replace(source, ":");

If you care about the value of the key preceding the colon-plus-whitespace, use named capture groups and a match evaluator.
Here the regular expression (?<key>\w+)\s*:\s* matches:

*

*(?<key>\w+) — a sequence of 1 or more whitespace characters (letters, digits or _), followed by

*\s* — zero or more whitespace characters, followed by

*: — a literal colon character, followed by

*\s* — zero or more whitespace characters

The match evaluator looks at the capturing group named key. If it is any of batman, robin, or superman, any whitespace preceding or following the colon is removed; otherwise, the match itself is returned unchanged.
Regex  rx     = new Regex(@"(?<key>\w+)\s*:\s*");
string result = rx.Replace(source, (Match m) => {
  string replacement;
  string key = m.Groups["key"].Value;

  switch (key) {
  case "batman":
  case "robin":
  case "superman":
    replacement = key+":";
    break;
  default:
    replacement = m.Value;
    break;
  }

  return replacement;
});


Augsburg, July 31, 2018 – With a big summer party meteocontrol GmbH celebrated its 20th anniversary with customers, partners, companions as well as employees and their families. In two decades, the former engineering office for solar technology with initially three engineers has developed into an internationally operating company with over 150 employees at 10 locations worldwide. meteocontrol is a leading supplier of independent PV monitoring systems. Around 45,000 photovoltaic systems with a total output of over 13 gigawatts are currently being monitored by meteocontrol's VCOM monitoring portal.
20 years meteocontrol – 40 years of experience: In two decades, the former engineering office for solar technology with initially three engineers has developed into an internationally operating company with over 150 employees at 10 locations worldwide.
"IST EnergieCom GmbH" was spun off from "IST Energietechnik", an engineering office for solar technology founded in 1976. It was entered in the commercial register on 13 July 1998. Four years later, the company was renamed meteocontrol GmbH. The development work at the time already focused on an Internet-based monitoring solution for PV systems. As a pioneer in the industry, meteocontrol launched the "safer'Sun" and "WEB'log" remote monitoring systems and received the Innovation Award of the Photovoltaic Solar Energy Symposium in 2002.
"To survive and grow in the difficult photovoltaic industry for 20 years is in itself a success story", Matthias Haag, CTO of the long-standing customer KACO new energy, praised meteocontrol's success at the ceremony of the anniversary celebration on July 20. "When we set off with meteocontrol back then, it were primarily idealists at work in the PV industry. Our turnover was a minor matter. What counted was to connect PV systems to the grid and promote the clean energy supply. We wanted to make the world a better place. With success - local heroes became global players."
With a big summer party meteocontrol GmbH celebrated its 20th anniversary. From left: Martin Schneider and Robert Pfatischer, managing directors of meteocontrol.
The managing directors and co-founders Martin Schneider and Robert Pfatischer reviewed how eventful the company's 20-year history is. "We developed the first available measurement and analysis program for PV systems for the 1000 roofs program in Germany at the end of the 1990s. We carried out the installation and maintenance ourselves - with an old camper that was both a caravan and a workshop car. Monitoring 150 rooftop systems and retrieving the data centrally via analogue modem or telephone was a real pioneering achievement back then," the managing directors said with a smile.
With the establishment of the first web domain, the digital age began and the online visualization of Messe München's 1 MWp PV system in 1998 was another milestone in the company's history. In 2001, the delivery of ten data loggers constituted a major order – today there are around 4,500 data loggers per year. meteocontrol had reached the 1 GWp mark in monitored capacity in 2009, after another nine years it is now over 13 GWp.
"It has been 20 very eventful years, with good times but also with hard times. Our perseverance has paid off. This is not least due to the enormous commitment and friendship of our entire team of employees", Schneider and Pfatischer summed up. Human values in cooperation are among meteocontrol's economic success factors - both as a team and with customers and partners. A long-standing companion of the PV specialists praised their efforts in this area during his laudation and awarded the title "excellent market professionals with a heart".
Around the globe – from Santiago de Chile to Tokyo – meteocontrol successfully sells its monitoring solutions and is on site with its employees for installation and commissioning. "And the success story continues: We are expanding with a branch in Australia, the opening is imminent", the managing directors are pleased to announce.

Dumbledore's Army club grieves loss of actor Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman had many faces on the silver screen but each left an impact. Designed by Nikhil Warrier
In addition to portraying Severus Snape, Rickman's other film roles include parts in Die Hard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Graphic by Nikhil Warrier.
Members of Dumbledore's Army, a group of Harry Potter enthusiasts at Manual, recently mourned the death of Alan Rickman, the iconic actor who portrayed professor Severus Snape in the movie adaptations of the young adult fantasy novels. Rickman passed away on the morning of Jan. 14 at the age of 69 after battling cancer.
"The character of Snape shaped me a lot in all of the lessons I learned about perseverance, and the risks you take and sacrifices you make for what you believe in," club member Emma Bornschein (11, J&C) said.
Dumbledore's Army has been an active club at Manual since 2011. Members meet every week to discuss their love of Harry Potter and participate in themed games related to the series.
"I enjoy being there because [Dumbledore's Army] is a place I can be a little more wild than I normally am," Jamie D'Amato (11, J&C) said. "When we play our games, I am more out there. Generally I am shy, but when I am with all these nerdy people who have the same interest as me, it's easier to be out there and more enthusiastic."
