AHMEDABAD: Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday accused the Congress of running a "strange campaign" in Gujarat by mocking development and spreading the "poison of casteism".
Jaitley also targeted Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks on the Goods and Services Tax (GST), saying he firmly believes that the Congress vice-president has no knowledge of the subject.
"During the last three elections in Gujarat, the Congress tried to target a person (Narendra Modi). They used the entire government machinery during the 2007 and 2012 elections, misused the CBI, used anti-national elements in the form of terrorists," he alleged.
"This time I find the situation very strange. This is for the first time … not only in India but in the entire world … that a political party is starting its campaign by showing development as something bad.
"Development fights poverty, it fights backwardness but they are making fun of it," Jaitley said referring to the Congress campaign of "Vikas Gando Thayo Che" (development has gone crazy).
"If anything does not work than you spread the poison of casteism to stop developmental politics. All other states of the country where poison of casteism has been spread have lagged way behind in development," he said, denouncing the Congress's attempt to woo caste leaders like Hardik Patel, Jignesh Mevani and Alpesh Thakor.
"The game of trying to split the state along caste lines is extremely dangerous," Jaitley, who is the in-charge of Gujarat polls, said.
"When development takes place, highways are made, universities are built, electricity is supplied, then all the sections of society are benefited. Development helps all," he said.
"In this developing part of India, if you are trying to denigrate development or win elections on the basis of dividing people along caste lines, it is not good for the society and the country," the minister said.
He said that since the 2002 elections, the BJP's main agenda in Gujarat had been development and they had not wavered from that path despite many distractions.
Asked about Gandhi making fun of GST during his campaign tour in south Gujarat, Jaitley said, "I firmly believe he has no understanding of this subject, he has not studied it. Finance ministers of Congress state governments are present in the GST council and were part of the decision making process.
On the issue of demonetisation, Jaitley said the Congress government had not initiated any step against black money.
"We carried out demonetisation with certain goals, like to increase the tax base, reduce the use of cash and hit terrorism and naxalism networks," he said.
On the row over the movie Padmavati, Jaitley said the matter concerns the censor board.

Our SEN information report also contains contact details of support services for the parents of pupils with special educational needs and details of how we support pupils with special educational needs when they transfer between phases of education or in preparation for adulthood and independent living, as well as information on where the local authority's local offer is published.
As a team our aim is to improve the access to learning for our students so that they can realise their potential.
The answer to this question is "in so many different ways". Each student is an individual and deserves individualised support.
We consider the transfer information from junior schools along with assessment of reading, spelling and handwriting conducted at the beginning of Year 7.
Relevant students may be given extra help with their literacy skills. For example, we run Toe-by-Toe phonics based 1:1 intervention for students with dyslexic-type reading difficulties. Teaching Assistants support students across subject areas in class. They may also work with small groups or individually and some students may be withdrawn for help on a 1:1 basis.
Students with learning difficulties are monitored throughout their school career and the OCN SEN Guidance is used to help identify the level of support required.
If you have any questions about learning support, please do not hesitate to contact the college.

Legacy 76 Adds 9 More...
All Have Youth Ties to VLSC
Williamsburg, VA - When Legacy 76 takes the field for its inaugural season of play in the National Premier Soccer League this summer, the team will be loaded with talented players with ties to the local community. Head Coach Eric Dutt is pleased to announce that 9 former Virginia Legacy youth soccer players have been added to the roster for the 2014 season.
"Our goal from the beginning (for Legacy 76) has been to provide the top players in this area with a high level, competitive environment to continue their development as players once they graduate from our youth program," says Dutt. "These players spent their youth soccer careers developing their skills with Virginia Legacy, have gone on to be valuable members of their college programs, and now will be a part of Legacy 76."
The 9 players include Robert Alberti (Virginia Tech), Preston Bremus (ODU), Sean Christein (CNU), Alec Faulkner (CNU), Steven Farmer (CNU), Reilly Maw (William & Mary), Sean Moriarty (CNU), Patrick O'Brien (Virginia Tech), and Alfonso Speed (William & Mary).

Prior to joining William & Mary, Maw was a two-time 1st Team All-State member at Tabb High School. He currently holds the school record for goals in a season (36) and goals in a career (86).
Patrick O'Brien, a Jamestown High School graduate, was the 2010 Virginia State AA Player of the Year, 2010 Daily Press Player of the Year and 2010 Virginia Gazette Player of the Year. After spending his first two seasons at William & Mary, where he played in 29 matches, O'Brien is currently a member of the Virginia Tech men's soccer program.

"We are very pleased with the local flavor that this team is made up of," states Dutt. "It is a definition of their hard work and commitment as youth soccer players that has allowed them to achieve success as student-athletes in college. We are looking forward to them making their debuts with Legacy 76 and showcasing their talents for the entire Tidewater community to enjoy."
Be sure to join all the Legacy 76 players for the exciting action this summer! The team begins their inaugural season in the NPSL on Saturday, May 17th with a home game against Chesterfield United.

This Item: Maisto 1:18 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands, Metallic Orange
The Ford Bronco is a model line of sport utility vehicles manufactured and marketed by Ford. The first SUV model developed by the company, five generations of the Bronco were sold from the 1966 to 1996 model years; a sixth generation of the model line is an upcoming vehicle to be sold for the 2021 model year. The nameplate has been used on other Ford SUVs, including the 1984-1990 Ford Bronco II compact SUV and the Ford Bronco Sport compact CUV.
Ford released the sixth generation Bronco for model year 2021, after the nameplate's 25-year hiatus. Styling recalls many elements from the 1966–1977 series, and the design chief's 1976 Bronco was digitally scanned as a reference during the design process.
For the first time, the Bronco is a mid-size SUV, bringing its chassis and powertrain closer in size to the Ford Ranger. Conceived as a direct competitor to the Jeep Wrangler, the Bronco is offered as a two-door and four-door SUV, each reconfigurable as a convertible.
The Badlands model comes equipped with the 2.0 L Ecoboost engine. It comes with 17 in aluminum wheels with 225-65-17 or optional 235/65/R17 All-Terrain off road tires. Optional 17 in "Steelies" looking alloy wheels are available. It features a 6.5 in LCD digital gauge cluster, and Navigation system is optional. A Bang & Olufsen sound system is optional.

The Smoke Signal
The Student News Site of Cherokee Middle School
Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Georgiades
Kwaku Asare-Bawuah, Staff Writer/Section Editor|December 8, 2020
In the 8th grade hallway, there is a room filled with magic and music coming from a group of violins, violas, cellos, and double basses, led by Mrs. Georgiades. Mrs. Georgiades is the conductor of the orchestra of Cherokee Middle School as well as Disney Elementary and Wilson's Creek Intermediate. That's what most of us know about her. However, who is she? When did she want to be a teacher? Where did she start playing the violin? I was recently able to speak to Mrs. Georgiades and get some of these questions answered.
According to Mrs. Georgiades, she had always wanted to be a teacher. When she was little, she would assemble her younger siblings and have a little classroom. She wanted to be a teacher even before she became a violinist. Speaking of which, when she was eight, her parents got her a violin. She started playing violin for her local church from the ages of 8 to 10 and when she was there, she got a lot of encouragement and support from the adults of the church. Their encouragement was the main source of her motivation. Over the years, she kept practicing and getting better and better and playing on bigger and bigger stages until she got a violin scholarship to college at Evangel University. After college, she knew she would be a teacher, but she was hesitant about being an orchestra teacher because she was very shy. So she started teaching private lessons until she decided to teach at her local school.
Nowadays, she is the conductor for the Cherokee orchestra, she enjoys being able to share her love of music with others and she is happy that she can fulfill her dream of teaching. Away from the room, she enjoys board games and offroading at Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch. We are so fortunate to have a teacher like Mrs. Georgiades. Her hard work and dedication to helping kids in her orchestra to understand the value of music and get better at playing music is amazing and should be appreciated.

A Profound Tale for All of Humanity
Dissonance, by Stephen Orr (Wakefield Press)
South Australian author Stephen Orr writes powerful prose with compelling themes. In this recent novel his main focus is on the psychodynamics of the mother-child relationship as expressed in the effort to make worldly success out of apparently innate talent. When you find that your child is "gifted" what should be your role in the channelling of the special ability? When does loving, diligent devotion to your child's development become tyrannical, smothering abuse?
These questions arose as I read the story of Erwin Hergert and his mother Madge. At the outset they live in South Australia's Barossa Valley in a community comprising mostly people descended from the early German colonists. Erwin's father is one such. This part of the narrative is set in the 1930s when the old language and Lutheranism of their ancestors are still very much alive. Madge's son is still a baby when she uses her whip to drive his father out of the house and into the shed where he lives until death years later. Erwin shows exceptional ability as a pianist at an early age and, dissatisfied with the available music teachers, Madge takes on the job herself. Her dedication is complete, her methodology severe: the cane hovers over the boy's fingers as he plays, striking when he makes a mistake. His compulsory practice sessions are long and the schedule unrelenting. The whip emerges at intervals through the novel—both in Madge's hands and, later, in her son's.
Erwin becomes a highly awarded pianist as he grows up. At Madge's insistence in 1937 he migrates with her to Germany at the age of fifteen to find the teaching and opportunities that she deems unavailable in Australia. They both have enough command of Barossa Deutsch to communicate and survive in Germany. Erwin continues to develop as a musician, forms a close relationship with a local girl, and is eventually swept into the vortex of the Second World War.
Stephen Orr makes a considerable effort to present the social settings of both pre-war South Australia and Nazi Germany; he does so strongly and credibly. Nevertheless, human relationships are his central concern. While that between Erwin and Madge dominates, several of their other relationships are explored in considerable depth.
I won't spoil the story for readers by revealing more. But be prepared for an emotional ride as you follow Erwin; there are some gut-wrenching episodes, especially in Nazi Germany. And there are times when we feel elated with the sense of promise only to be cast into sadness as hope is snatched away again.
This is an utterly absorbing but complex novel that raises some important questions for Australia about such things as the value and nurturing of artistic talent, as well as national identity and culture. But the novel's essential focus and appeal transcend nationality and era: Stephen Orr leads us on a journey into the psychological depths of parent-child relations. Dissonance is thus a profound tale for all of humanity. You can purchase it in either print or digital form.
A Novel That Deserves Resurrection
The Garden, by L.A.G. Strong
There are some literary creations buried in the debris of our cultural neglect that are worthy of resurrection. One of them is by L.A.G. Strong (1896—1958), highly respected during his lifetime as the eclectic author of many novels and collections of stories, poems, essays and other works. I first fell in love with his writing close to fifty years ago when I picked up a collection of his short stories from my father's bookshelf. It was called Travellers, and elementary research on the web tells me that it was published in 1945 and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. I don't know where that particular copy is now and it is long since out of print, but I'll continue to hunt for another.
Nevertheless several of Strong's novels have lately emerged as e-publications, including The Garden. I downloaded it recently to my Kindle and now treasure it in my personal list of "Best Ever Written". This bitter-sweet tale had me swinging between heart-singing bliss and tearful, desperate grief.
The Garden tells the story of a boy, Dermot, growing up in Britain during the first years of the twentieth century. His family are very well-off and well-educated. His Irish mother married an Englishman who is at odds with much of her parents' and relatives' outlook on life—especially their religious bent. Nearly all of the narrative occurs during the Dermot's summers, which he spends in Ireland with his grandparents (whose garden gives rise to the title) and other relatives. All is told in the third person but from the boy's point of view.
There are many reasons why I love The Garden, some personal and some pertaining to Strong's writing. Among the latter I'll mention his unpretentiously vivid prose: descriptions of the Irish setting—natural, built and human—are powerful; the characters are diverse but strongly portrayed, especially through dialogue. (Strong is so good at catching the different accents and speech patterns of the different cultural groups and social strata.) And this writer has such a wonderful ability to help us experience the world as the boy does.
Some themes in the novel strike a personal chord with me. They take the form of several persistent tensions in the story, all felt by Dermot, that made me ache for resolutions. Always in the background and sometimes emerging centre-stage are the gulfs between Irish and English, between those with religion and those without, between social classes. How these forces affect Dermot's personal relationships with individuals who, to me are in themselves loveable, is sometimes heart-breaking.
All this tends to shape Dermot's sense of identity. Every year he endures school and life in Plymouth sustained by his memories of Ireland and anticipation of returning there. Eventually he has, in the author's words, "an Irish memory, quite separate from his English memory. The Irish memory was qualitative. It had its own time, its own space, its own emotions."
Through the child's eyes in earlier years, tensions between individuals are implied to the adult reader; as the boy matures we confront them more directly, as he does. The strains are there in Dermot's changing relationships with each of his parents, between the parents themselves, and between him and a number of friends and relatives.
But in the face of all this, and despite the many bleaker months of each year spent in England, the richness of his intermittent Irish experience feeds his spirit. And meanwhile Britain is moving towards war.
Our literary heritage is built upon many beautiful works like The Garden that have been almost forgotten. We should go back to our cultural roots at times and look for writing that might help us re-discover authorial skills we have lost or provide the insights we need into what it means to be human. Although it seems now to be deleted from Amazon's list, The Garden is available as an e-book through Bloomsbury Publishing. I urge you to download and read it.

\section{Introduction}
Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent random variables. There are several well known settings in which $U=\psi(X,Y)$ and $V=X+Y$ are also independent. Related characterizations of distributions of $X$ and $Y$ by properties of independence of $X$ and $Y$ and independence of $U$ and $V$ have been also studied. The most prominent seem to be: \begin{itemize}
\item Bernstein (1941) characterization of the normal law by independence of $U=X-Y$ and $V$,
\item Lukacs (1956) characterization of the gamma law by independence of $U=X/Y$ and $V$.
\end{itemize}

In the end of 1990's  a new independence phenomenon of this kind, called Matsumoto-Yor property, see e.g. Stirzaker (2005), p. 43,  was discovered. It says that for $X$ with a GIG (generalized inverse Gaussian) law and independent $Y$ with a gamma law (both distributions with suitably adjusted parameters), random variables $U=1/X-1/(X+Y)$ and $V$ are independent. This elementary property was identified while the authors analyzed structure of functionals of  Brownian motion - see Matsumoto and Yor (2001, 2003). A related characterization of the GIG and gamma laws by independence of $X$ and $Y$ and of $U$ and $V$ was obtained in Letac and Weso\l owski (2000). Both these results: the Matsumoto-Yor property and the characterization were generalized in several directions. Matrix variate analogues were studied e.g. in Letac and Weso\l owski (2000), Weso\l owski (2002) and Massam and Weso\l owski (2006) - the last one including a relation with conditional structure of Wishart matrices. Recently it has been extended to symmetric cones setting in Ko\l odziejek (2014). Multivariate versions related to specific transformations governed by a tree were considered in Barndorff-Nielsen and Koudou (1998), Massam and Weso\l owski (2004) and  Koudou (2006) . Further connections with (exponential) Brownian motion were investigated in Weso\l owski and Witkowski (2007) and Matsumoto et al. (2009). There are also regression versions of Matsumoto-Yor typ characterizations, as given in Seshadri and Weso\l owski (2001),  Weso\l owski (2002) and Chou and Huang (2004). A survey of these results together with other characterizations of the GIG law can be found in a recent paper Koudou and Ley (2014).

In 2009 Koudou and Vallois tried to generalize Matsumoto-Yor property by a search of distributions of independent $X$ and $Y$ and functions $f$ such that $V=f(X+Y)$ and $U=f(X)-f(X+Y)$ are independent. Their research lead to a discovery of another pair $U=\psi(X,Y)$ and $V=X+Y$ with independence property:
Assume that $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables, $X$ has the Kummer distribution $\mathrm{K}(a,b,c)$ with the density
$$
f_X(x)\propto \tfrac{x^{a-1}e^{-cx}}{(1+x)^{a+b}}\,I_{(0,\infty)}(x), \qquad a,b,c>0,
$$
and $Y$ has the gamma distribution $\mathrm{G}(b,c)$ with the density
$$
f_Y(y)\propto y^{b-1}e^{-cy}I_{(0,\infty)}(y).
$$
Then, see Koudou and Vallois (2012), random variables
\bel{juvi}
U=\tfrac{1+\tfrac{1}{X+Y}}{1+\tfrac{1}{X}}\qquad \mbox{and}\qquad V=X+Y
\ee
are independent, $U$ has the beta first kind distribution $\mathrm{B}_I(a,b)$ with the density
$$
f_U(u)\propto u^{a-1}(1-u)^{b-1}I_{(0,1)}(u)
$$
and $V$ has the Kummer distribution, $\mathrm{K}(a+b,-b,c)$. (Note that the Kummer distribution $K(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ is well-defined iff $\alpha,\gamma>0$ and $\beta\in\R$.)

It is an interesting question if a theory, similar to the one for the original Matsumoto-Yor property described in the literature recalled above, can be developed for this new independence property. There have already been some successful efforts in this direction. The property was extended to matrix variate distributions in Koudou (2012). It is also known, see Koudou and Vallois (2011, 2012), that, under appropriate smoothness assumptions on densities, a characterization counterpart of the property holds: if $X$ and $Y$ are independent positive random variables, and $U$ and $V$, given by \eqref{juvi}, are also independent then $X\sim \mathrm{K}(a,b,c)$ and $Y\sim \mathrm{G}(b,c)$ for some positive constants $a,b,c$. These smoothness restrictions require that the densities of $X$ and $Y$ are strictly positive on $(0,\infty)$ and either twice differentiable or their logarithms are locally integrable.  Letac (2009) conjectured that such a characterization is possibly true with no assumptions on densities.  In this note we contribute further to this development following the characterization  path. Our aim is to show a characterization of the gamma and Kummer laws without referring to densities at all. Actually, we will consider constancy of regressions condition which, up to necessary moment assumption, is weaker than independence.

\section{Regression characterization}
Our main result is a characterization of the Kummer and gamma laws by constancy of regressions of $U$ and $U^{-1}$ given $V$ in the setting described in \eqref{juvi}. Since $U\in(0,1)$ $\P$-a.s. $\E\,U<\infty$, and one can consider conditional moment $\E(U|V)$ without any additional restrictions. This is not the case of $\E(U^{-1}|V)$ since, a priori, the moment $\E\,U^{-1}$ may not be finite.  Since
$$
U^{-1}=\tfrac{1+X}{X}\,\tfrac{X+Y}{1+X+Y}\le 1+\tfrac{1}{X}
$$
we have $\E\,U^{-1}\le 1+\E\,X^{-1}$. So, under the assumption $\E\,X^{-1}<\infty$ the conditional moment $\E(U^{-1}|V)$ is well defined.

Now we are ready to state the main result of this note.

\begin{theorem}\label{REG KV}
Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent positive non-degenerate random variables and $\E\,X^{-1}<\infty$. Define $U$ and $V$ through \eqref{juvi}. If
\bel{reg}
\E(U|V)=\alpha \qquad \mbox{and}\qquad \E(U^{-1}|V)=\beta
\ee
for real constants $\alpha$ and $\beta$ then there exists a constant $c>0$ such that $$X\sim \mathrm{K}\left(1+\tfrac{1-\alpha}{\alpha\beta},\tfrac{(1-\alpha)(\beta-1)}{\alpha\beta},c\right)\qquad\mbox{and}\qquad Y\sim\mathrm{G}\left(\tfrac{(1-\alpha)(\beta-1)}{\alpha\beta},\,c\right).$$
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
First, rewrite the equations \eqref{reg} as
$$
\E\left(\left.\tfrac{X}{1+X}\right|X+Y\right)=\alpha\tfrac{X+Y}{1+X+Y}\qquad\mbox{and}\qquad
\E\left(\left.\tfrac{1+X}{X}\right|X+Y\right)=\beta\tfrac{1+X+Y}{X+Y}.
$$
Equivalently, we have
\bel{reg1}
\E\left(\left.\tfrac{1}{1+X}\right|X+Y\right)=1-\alpha+\tfrac{\alpha}{1+X+Y}
\ee
and
\bel{reg2}
\E\left(\left.\tfrac{1}{X}\right|X+Y\right)=\beta-1+\tfrac{\beta}{X+Y}.
\ee
The equation \eqref{reg1} implies
\bel{eq1}
\E\,\tfrac{e^{s(1+X+Y)}}{1+X}=(1-\alpha)\E\,e^{s(1+X+Y)}+\alpha\E\,\tfrac{e^{s(1+X+Y)}}{1+X+Y}
\ee
at least for $s\le 0$.

Similarly, from \eqref{reg2} we get the equation
\bel{eq2}
\E\,\tfrac{e^{s(X+Y)}}{X}=(\beta-1)\E\,e^{s(X+Y)}+\beta\E\,\tfrac{e^{s(X+Y)}}{X+Y},\quad s\le 0.
\ee

Differentiating \eqref{eq1} with respect to $s$ (it is possible at least for $s<0$) we obtain
$$
\E\,e^{s(1+X+Y)}+\E\,\tfrac{Y}{1+X}\,e^{s(X+Y+1)}=(1-\alpha)\E\,(1+X+Y)e^{s(1+X+Y)}+\alpha\,\E\,e^{s(X+Y+1)}.
$$
After dividing by $e^s$  both sides of the above equation and canceling the term $\E\,e^{s(X+Y)}$ we arrive at
$$
\E\,\tfrac{e^{sX}}{1+X}\,\E\,Ye^{sY}=(1-\alpha)\left(\E\,Xe^{sX}\,\E\,e^{sY}+\E\,e^{sX}\,\E\,Ye^{sY}\right).
$$
This equation can be written as
\bel{EQ1}
e^{-s}K\,M'=(1-\alpha)(L\,M)',
\ee
where
$$K(s)=\E\,\tfrac{e^{s(1+X)}}{1+X},\qquad L(s)=\E\,e^{sX}\qquad \mbox{and}\qquad M(s)=\E\,e^{sY}.$$

On the other hand differentiating \eqref{eq2} we get
$$
\E\,e^{s(X+Y)}+\E\,\tfrac{Y}{X}\,e^{s(X+Y)}=(\beta-1)\E\,(X+Y)e^{s(X+Y)}+\beta\,\E\,e^{s(X+Y)}.
$$
Consequently,
$$
\E\,\tfrac{e^{sX}}{X}\,\E\,Y\e^{sY}=(\beta-1)\left(\E\,Xe^{sX}\,\E\,e^{sY}+\E\,e^{sX}\,\E\,Ye^{sY}+\E\,e^{sX}\,\E\,e^{sY}\right).
$$
Therefore
\bel{EQ2}
G\,M'=(\beta-1)((L\,M)'+L\,M),
\ee
where
$$
G(s)=\E\,\tfrac{e^{sX}}{X}.
$$

By deriving the formula for $(LM)'$ from  \eqref{EQ1} and \eqref{EQ2} get
\bel{EQ}
ae^{-s}\,K\,M'=bG\,M'-L\,M, \ee
with $a=(1-\alpha)^{-1}$ and $b=(\beta-1)^{-1}$. Differentiate \eqref{EQ} to get
$$
-ae^{-s}KM'+ae^{-s}K'M'+ae^{-s}KM''=bG'M'+bGM''-(LM)'.
$$
Note that $G'=L=e^{-s}K'$. Therefore the above equation together with \eqref{EQ1} and \eqref{EQ2}, after multiplying both sides by $M'$ implies
$$
-(LM)'M'+aLM'^2+(LM)'M''=bLM'^2+((LM)'+LM)M''-(LM)'M'
$$
which after cancelations (which are allowed in a left neighborhood of zero)  gives
$$
MM''=(a-b)M'^2.
$$
Note that
$$
a-b=\tfrac{1}{1-\alpha}+\tfrac{1}{1-\beta}=\tfrac{2-\alpha-\beta}{(1-\alpha)(1-\beta)}=1+\tfrac{\alpha\beta-1}{(1-\alpha)(\beta-1)}=:1+\tfrac{1}{p}
$$
and due to obvious inequalities: $\alpha<1$, $\beta>1$ and $\alpha\beta>1$, we conclude that  $p>0$. Consequently, $Y$ has a gamma distribution $\mathrm{G}(p,\,c)$, where $c$ is a positive constant.

Now we differentiate equation \eqref{EQ2} for $s<0$ getting
$$
b G'M'+bGM''=(LM)''+(LM)'.
$$
Multiplying both sides by $M'$ and using again \eqref{EQ2} we arrive at
$$
bLM'^2+((LM)'+LM)M''=(LM)''M'+(LM)'M'
$$
which yields
$$
L''\tfrac{M'}{M}+L'\left[2\left(\tfrac{M'}{M}\right)^2+\tfrac{M'}{M}-\tfrac{M''}{M}\right]
-L\left[\tfrac{M''}{M}-(1-b)\left(\tfrac{M'}{M}\right)^2\right]=0.
$$
After inserting known values for $M$, $M'$ and $M''$ the above equation transforms into
$$
(c-s)L''(s)+(1-p+c-s)L'(s)-(1+bp)L(s)=0,\qquad s\le 0.
$$
Change the variable $t:=c-s$ and define $N(t)=L(c-t)$. It follows that
$$
tN''(t)+(1-p-t)N'(t)-(1+bp)N(t)=0\qquad t\ge c.
$$
We read two linearly independent solutions of this equation from Abramovitz and Stegun (1965), Ch. 13. One of these solutions is the generalized hypergeometric function $$N(t)=M(1+bp,1-p,t)=_1\hspace{-1mm}F_1(1+bp,1-p,t)$$ which is of the order $e^tt^{(1+p)b}$ for $t\to \infty$, see (13.1.4) in Abramovitz and Stegun (1965), and thus tends to infinity with $s\to-\infty$ and thus $t=c-s\to \infty$. In the case we consider this is impossible since the Laplace transform of negative argument $s$ of positive probability measure has to be bounded. The second solution
$$
N(t)=U(1+bp,1-p,t)=C\int_0^{\infty}\,e^{-tx}\tfrac{x^{bp}}{(1+x)^{p(b+1)+1}}\;dx,
$$
yields
$$
L(s)=C\int_0^{\infty}\,e^{sx}\tfrac{x^{bp}}{(1+x)^{p(b+1)+1}}e^{-cx}\;dx,
$$
which is a Laplace transform of the Kummer $\mathrm{K}(bp+1,p,c)$ distribution.
\end{proof}
\begin{remark}
Recall that $U\sim\mathrm{Beta}_I(1+bp,p)$ and thus $\E\,X^{-1}<\infty$, as expected. Moreover, since $p>1$ then also $\E\,(1-U)^{-1}<\infty$.
\end{remark}
\begin{remark}
It still not clear if independence of $U$ and $V$ for independent, positive and non-degenerate $X$ and $Y$ without any additional assumptions  characterizes the gamma and Kummer laws. Theorem 1 answers the question under additional restriction that $\E\,U^{-1}<\infty$.
\end{remark}
\begin{remark}
Since $U$ as defined in \eqref{juvi} is $(0,1)$ valued random variable, without any additional moment assumptions we can write regressions conditions of the form
$$
\E\left(\left.(1-U)^k\right|V\right)=\alpha_k
$$
for some positive $k$'s and $\alpha_k$'s. Obviously, such conditions are weaker than independence. A little of algebra allows to see that the above condition is equivalent to
$$
\E\left(\left.\tfrac{Y^k}{(1+X)^k}\right|X+Y\right)=\alpha_k(X+Y)^k.
$$
However, we failed to prove characterization assuming the above conditions for, say, $k=1,2$.

dc.description.abstract GDOT, which is responsible for a large network of primarily asphalt pavements, has been utilizing a model developed by Georgia Tech under Research Project 05-19 for its current performance analyses. While the model provides an adequate analysis of pavement performance within the network and adheres to both the MAP-21 and the FAST Act, the current model has not been updated in nearly 10 years. Because the existing model is a probabilistic model, the prediction power of the model suffers without the use of current data. Additionally, the GDOT has implemented a new policy that identifies the priority of pavement projects based on importance and utilization. The introduction of the new policy provides an opportunity to better categorize the current pavement system to maximize utilization of the GDOT's resources for maintenance. Advances in segment-level survey collection documentation also provides a potential area of improvement as the data enables Maintenance, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction (MR&R) trigger criteria to be studied. By utilizing new techniques, policies, and data, the existing model used by GDOT for the PMS can be improved. Questions about improved data processing, model development using pavement priority categories, and trigger criteria information can be answered by updating the previous model and utilizing the COPACES system. The results should be able to more efficiently and cost-effectively manage GDOT's pavement preservation planning at a network level.


Ben Nevis, the perfect training ground.
After Tuesday of last week we had another devastating thaw of the snow and ice cover that was building nicely. Record temperatures for December were recorded and lots of snow ended up in the Atlantic. Saturday was slightly cooler though with a light dusting of snow down to 1000m, yesterday was much the same and today the snow was sitting on the hills above 700m. The old wet snow was firming up at the top of Ben Nevis and the crags were collecting sticky fresh snow. It felt a lot more wintry today than it did at the end of last week.
Abacus Mountain Guides teams have been doing laps of Number Four Gully recently. On Saturday Louisa took her team of three up Number Four Gully to start off five days of training for their trip to Mont Blanc. They will cover all manner of movement skills and rope work for glacier travel, crevasse rescue and scrambling. Yesterday Steve took Erika and Michael up Number Four Gully for some crampon training ready for a trip to Aconcagua. So today I climbed Number Four Gully with Suhas and Sankalp as a first winter day out and in preparation for a trip to Mont Blanc. Scotland really is a great training ground for much bigger peaks. If you can manage the conditions here you'll be fine on any other mountain.
The rain was heavy and the wind battering as we walked up to the CIC Hut. We were already pretty wet by the time we got in to Coire na Ciste but we geared up for the climb and did some crampon and ice axe training and found that we were just above the freezing level. Our gear dried out and our rucksacks froze on the climb up the gully. The snow cover is a bit thin at the narrows of the gully and there is no cornice above the central part of the gully but the old snow firmed up and gave us a very atmospheric climb. Other people out today climbed Number Three Gully, Ledge Route and Observatory Gully as far as the narrows. It is complete all the way up Tower Gully and would give a fine climb to the top. Colder weather is forecast for a few days now but still with very strong winds. Perhaps the snow and ice cover will build a bit better and for longer than it has done so far this winter.

Rare 1745 portrait donated to Colonial Williamsburg
July 3, 2018 Modern(ish), Museums
The descendants of Joyce Armistead Booth have donated an extremely rare surviving portrait of their ancestor painted by 18th century artist William Dering to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Only six of Dering's portraits are known to have survived — including one of Joyce's son George — and with the latest donation the Colonial Willamsburg foundation is now the proud owner of five of the six.
Only one of the portraits attributed to William Dering is signed. Experts use it as the standard to determine attribution of other works that crop up. The painting of Joyce Armistead Booth has been in the family since it was painted. It is in excellent condition and is still in its original frame. This is an inestimable resource for art historical research into Dering's oeuvre.
"Executed in saturated, well-preserved reds, blues, and golds, and measuring more than four feet in height, this likeness of Joyce Armistead Booth is visually arresting," said Ronald L. Hurst, the foundation's Carlisle H. Humelsine chief curator and vice president for collections, conservation and museums. "The portrait commands the viewer's attention, and in so doing, provides a window into the goals and aspirations of early Virginia's planter aristocracy."
This Dering portrait is significant to ongoing research that Colonial Williamsburg's experts are undertaking. Laura Barry, Juli Grainger curator of paintings, drawings and sculpture, and Shelley Svoboda, senior conservator of paintings, are at work on a comprehensive study of the artist and his work from both historical and technical perspectives. The portrait of Joyce Armistead Booth, especially due to its pristine condition, informs this research and will help the experts to better understand the nuances in Dering's other canvases.
William Dering was a Williamsburg dancing master and portrait painter who navigated the upper echelons of Virginia society in the first half of the 18th century. The first record of him in the American colonies is in an advertisement for his dancing school in the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1735. In an notice in the same periodical a year later, he was offering a significantly wider array of teaching services, to wit "Reading, Writing, Dancing, Plain Work, Marking, Embroidery, and several other Works: where Likewise young Ladies and Gentlemen may be instructed in the French."
He and his wife Sarah moved to Virginia and by November of 1737 he was in Williamsburg. An advertisement in the Virginia Gazette of November 25th announced that Dering had "opened his School at the College, where all Gentlemen's Sons may be taught Dancing, according to the newest French Manner…." He appealed solely to the sons of gentlemen because his classes were held at the College of William of Mary which was then men-only.
What we know of Dering's social life is the result of his friendship with the socially prominent statesman, planter and founder of Richmond, Virginia, Colonel William Byrd who kept extensive diaries recording his daily life. Dering was a regular visitor to his estate, Westover Plantation. One night on June 6th, 1740, Byrd noted Dering had joined him for dinner of bacon and greens followed by talking, a game of bowls and a walk. They shared many such pleasant evenings. Dering played the French horn during one of them.
Legal records paint a less carefree picture. Dering struggled to pay off multiple mortgages on his house next to the Governor's Mansion on the Palace Green, a rather high-end address for a dancing teacher, and he was involved in other lawsuits with creditors. It seems he lived consistently beyond his means and his home had to be auctioned after his death in early 1751. It is still standing today and is preserved and administrated by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

He clearly also put his dancing skills to good use with his creditors: one payment up front, two to the arrears, a side step to the left…
Ambrosius says:
There must have been a derth of skilled portrait painters in Virginia at the time if he's work was in demand. I suspect he was probably a very charming Jack of all trades by as the saying goes 'master of none'.
welcome to the life of an artist trying to get commissions for his work
Limneresque says:
I believe it was his wife teaching many of the other subjects apart from dancing. It seems a school geared especially towards girls where they learned essential skills like plain sewing and the marking of linens. It's also interesting that "cyphering" or "aritmethics" were not thought, even though keeping house hold accounts was a skill that women needed as well as sewing. The Derings presumably only taught subjects they felt they mastered.


This new, low profile half helmet from Daytona Powersports is quickly becoming our top selling cruiser helmet. At half the price and all the features, the DPS-100 is a great value. The DPS-100 is the smallest D.O.T. Approved shorty helmet with a drop down sun visor that we have come across in 26 years.

Refugees, the first winners of scholarships from the university corridors arrive in Italy
They will be able to attend a two-year master's degree course. Fifty one refugees scholarship recipients of the Unicore project (University Corridors for Refugees) arrived at Fiumicino airport to continue their academic career in 33 Italian universities: they will be able to continue their studies regularly and safely and cultivate the hope of a better future.
The project, in its fourth edition, offers refugees residing in Cameroon, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe an opportunity to study and an Italian language course made available by the Universities for Foreigners of Perugia and Siena and the University of Notre Dame (which the students attended before departure).
I'm 13 women and 38 menselected by the universities themselves on the basis of academic merit and motivation following a call published in April.
"The Unicore program has changed my life: as you can imagine, a refugee doesn't have many opportunities to study or make plans for the future," explains Bereket, one of the students who arrived in Italy. "Unicore gave me hope. When I left Eritrea to go to Ethiopia I started studying business. This is how my passion for finance was born and when I was given the opportunity to continue my studies in Italy, I chose to stay in that branch. Once I graduate, my dream is to continue gaining experience, both by studying and working. If I can, one day I will return to my country and maybe I'll start my own business.'
83% of refugees in the world live in developing countries where opportunities for a decent future are too often lacking. UNHCR works to strengthen safe entry channels such as university corridors, which are for refugees an alternative to dangerous journeys into the hands of traffickers. One of the goals of the Unicore project is to achieve an enrollment rate in education programs above 15% for refugees in countries of first asylum and in third countries. Worldwide, in fact, only 5% of refugees have access to higher education against 38% of the non-refugee population. If refugees can aspire to paths of study and work in line with their abilities and talents, they have the opportunity to prove to be an asset, not a burdenas they are often perceived.
University Corridors for Refugees it is coordinated by Unhcr, the UN Agency for Refugees and involves 38 universities that have made more than 140 scholarships available in the last 4 years. «Thanks to the commitment of Italian universities, our partners and the government, 120 refugees have obtained a scholarship to continue their studies in Italy», says Chiara Cardoletti, UNHCR Representative for Italy, the Holy See and San Marino . «Opportunities such as those offered by the project University Corridors they are essential to give refugees the hope of building a prosperous future and we will continue to work to make them accessible to more and more people".

Cadillac Expands Super Cruise to More Models, Adds More Features
【Summary】The upcoming 2021 Cadillac CT4, CT5, and Escalade will all be available with Cadillac's semi-autonomous Super Cruise system, which now has a lane-change feature.
Original Vineeth Joel Patel Mar 08, 2020 5:38 PM PT
author: Vineeth Joel Patel
Tesla's Autopilot system gets most of the attention when it comes to semi-autonomous systems that consumers can actually purchase. But there's another system on the market that few have heard of: Cadillac's Super Cruise.
While Tesla offers Autopilot and a Self-Driving Feature on all of its vehicles, Cadillac's taken a different route. Only one vehicle in Cadillac's current lineup can be fitted with Super Cruise, and that's the CT6. While it's certainly very late, Cadillac is looking to change that by expanding the number of models it will offer with the system.
Super Cruise Coming To New Models
Cadillac will be offering the 2021 Cadillac CT4, CT5, and Escalade with the automaker's updated version of its Super Cruise system. All three of those vehicles are expected to go on sale by the second half of 2020. In addition to adding more vehicles to the list of available cars that can be fitted with Super Cruise, Cadillac has also updated the system.
Super Cruise will now be able to change lanes without requiring any input from the driver beyond a simple click of the turn signal. With Super Cruise engaged, all drivers have to do is click the turn signal in the desired direction. This lets the system look for an acceptable opening in the desired lane. If the vehicle senses that there's enough space for a lane change to take place, the car will complete the lane change.
The gauge cluster has been updated to accommodate a few new messages. Display messages will now let the driver know if Super Cruise has started to change lanes on its own or if the driver has to manually complete the lane change. New messages include, "looking for an opening" and "changing lanes."
Other Updates Were Made
In order to add Lane Change On Demand – Cadillac's official name for the new feature – the automaker had to make changes to Super Cruise's software and hardware. "This included improving rear-facing sensors and advanced software algorithms so that the system can confidently track vehicles approaching from the rear," said Mario Maiorana, chief engineer of Super Cruise.
Other changes have been made to the semi-autonomous system, too. Cadillac has added more in-depth information for the system's maps, improved the system's software for finer control of the fitted vehicle's steering and speed, and enhancements to make it easier for drivers to engage Super Cruise. All in all, these are significant updates.
For those not in the know, Super Cruise is Cadillac's semi-autonomous system that is the only one on the market that allows for hands-off driving on mapped highways. Leveraging sensors, cameras, and LiDAR, Super Cruise can handle all driving tasks on highways. The system first appeared on the CT6 back in 2017, which is ironic, because the CT6 is going out of production in January.
In our review, we found Super Cruise to be a highly capable system worthy of taking Tesla's Autopilot head-on.

The purpose of the investigation was to assess if Finnish coal flyash (CFA) waste could be used to synthesize zeolites. The world produces 750 million tonnes of CFA annually which is also the largest quantity waste produced. This figure will only increase as India, China, South America and Africa charges ahead with industrialization. The global recycle rate is 15% annually. Finland produces about 750,000 tonnes of CFA per year. It is also estimated that millions of tonnes of CFA is backfilled globally. Hence there is great potential to use it for high value applications as the raw material security exists. There are also disposal and environmental issues related to CFA which makes it our obligation to find a great solution. The recent trend towards circular economy, waste to value, sustainability, EU and National environmental legislations also provides a great platform to find a solution. Other reasons have been analysed from engineering, policy making, markets, scientific & innovation, national and regional impact, international trade, geographic location and future study perspectives.
The literature section provides insights into CFA, structure, transformation, mechanism, combustion process, applications, environmental issues etc. The Zeolite section gives a deep understanding of origin, history, classification, trends in development, structure, morphology, applications, properties, circular economy context of zeolites, synthesis methods, raw material variations etc. There are 174 zeolite framework types in zeolite families and we put special emphasis on NaX (Faujasite framework) with tailored descriptions. The literature highlights CFA Zeolites, its differences with pure chemical ones, synthesis methods, previous works and global pilot projects.
Conversion of Finnish CFA to Zeolite was a grand success. The overall process involved sieving, batch preparation, ageing, hydrothermal treatment, washing/filtration, drying and grinding. We sieved CFA to collect unburnt carbon (0.2% weight basis) and obtain consistent particle range. Creation of appropriate chemical composition, ageing for 24 hours (650 rpm at 21℃), hydrothermal treatment for 24 hours at 60℃-85℃. Washing is followed by drying the product for 16h and grinding it with mortar and pestle. CFA Zeolites have been made for the first time in Finland and Northern Europe.
Both the CFA and CFA Zeolites were analysed using XRD, EDX, SEM and BET. CFA consisted of amorphous SiO2 and Al2O3 along with crystalline quartz (SiO2) and mullite (SiO2.Al2O3). The LOI was 4.57% (weight basis). The BET value for CFA was 366. 73 m2/g. The CFA Zeolite was pure phase NaX and crystalline without competing GIS, SOD, LTA phases. The BET surface area of CFA Zeolite was approx. 1800-2000 m2/g. This is the first time such high values have been reported in the world. The process was scaled up from lab to bench scales. Various repetitive tests were conducted in lab and bench scales to have consistent results. Statistical analysis was conducted to obtain quality control guidelines.

Launch of the ACE-Obesity Policy Report
Obesity has serious health consequences , and a substantial economic impact on Australia.
ACE-Obesity Policy is a priority-setting study that aimed to evaluate the economic credentials of a range of obesity prevention policies (including both regulatory and program-based interventions), across multiple sectors and multiple areas of governance (local, state and federal governments, and the private sector).
The study formed part of the broader body of work of the National Health and Medical Research Council funded Centre of Research Excellence in Obesity Policy and Food Systems (APP1041020: 2012-2018), and answered the research question:
"What are the most effective, cost-effective, affordable and implementable policy options to prevent obesity across a range of settings?"
Download an electronic version of the Assessing Cost-effectiveness of Obesity Prevention Policies in Australia (ACE-Obesity Policy) report.
The results from each of the obesity policy interventions evaluated are presented in four-page summary reports. These reports are designed to provide an overview of each intervention.
Results from the cost-effectiveness analyses are presented in a league table ranked by incremental cost-effectiveness ratios in order from the most to the least cost-effective interventions.
Download a pdf version of the league table here.
Implementation considerations provide a comparative assessment of how the interventions performed against important criteria difficult to capture in the quantitative analyses, including strength of evidence, equity, acceptability, feasibility and sustainability.

The Wilkins Estate is a historic estate in Rockville, Maryland, built in 1916 by Robert Crew Wilkins, later an executive of the Wilkins Coffee Co. (later a part of Maxwell House coffee), founded in 1923 in Washington, D.C., by a relation, John H. Wilkins, Sr.

Wilkins era
Robert Wilkins had the estate built with the intention of using it as his summer home. The mansion on the grounds was designed by a noted architect, John Russell Pope, in the Classical Revival style and is considered a historic site. The estate later passed to his brother, John Franklin Wilkins.

Parklawn Memorial Park & Menorah Gardens

The estate passed out of family hands in 1950, being sold to George Moss, who opened Parklawn Memorial Park & Menorah Gardens on the property the following year. The Marlowe family soon purchased an interest in it in 1958 and full ownership in 1986. Stewart Enterprises bought the cemetery in 1992.

The mansion serves as the cemetery office. The grounds of the cemetery have expanded to hold the remains of some 5,000 people.

If you installed Linux as suggested in Chapter 2, Apache is already configured for PHP. To use PHP, simply name the PHP files with the .php extension.
You might note that this approach is contrary to that used for Embperl and Mason, where we decided against using a separate extension for those files. The logic was to not provide too much information about our site and to keep a clean URL look throughout the site (all pages are accessed through an .html extension). But because Apache is configured to use .php files out of the box, we'll stick with it out of sheer laziness (one of the desirable properties of a good programmer).
There is a way to configure Apache so that all .html files in a directory are processed by PHP. See the docs for more information.
