Q: Why is Ruby's Hash#values faster than Hash#each_value in certain cases? When I apply each_value to a hash, it takes significantly longer than when I use values, even though each_value ostensibly avoids allocating and copying an array.
I wrote a simple comparison:
require 'benchmark/ips'

some_hash = File.open('with_an.dat') { |f| Marshal.load f }

Benchmark.ips do |x|
  x.report "calling each_value" do
    some_hash.each_value
  end
  x.report "calling values" do
    some_hash.values
  end
  x.compare!
end

Benchmark.ips do |x|
  x.report "summing each_value" do
    some_hash.each_value.inject &:+
  end
  x.report "summing values" do
    some_hash.values.inject &:+
  end
  x.compare!
end

And here were the results:
Calculating -------------------------------------
  calling each_value    58.166k i/100ms
      calling values     2.000  i/100ms
-------------------------------------------------
  calling each_value      1.312M (±40.7%) i/s -      5.468M
      calling values     29.423  (±10.2%) i/s -    146.000

Comparison:
  calling each_value:  1312156.6 i/s
      calling values:       29.4 i/s - 44596.28x slower

Calculating -------------------------------------
  summing each_value     1.000  i/100ms
      summing values     1.000  i/100ms
-------------------------------------------------
  summing each_value      2.107  (± 0.0%) i/s -     11.000
      summing values      8.002  (±12.5%) i/s -     40.000

Comparison:
      summing values:        8.0 i/s
  summing each_value:        2.1 i/s - 3.80x slower

As expected, just calling each of the methods, each_value was much faster, since it only has to create an Enumerator, and doesn't actually traverse the hash table.  Meanwhile, values has to copy the entire array.
Yet, when I add the values up, it appears that the each_value approach is 3x slower than the values approach.  Why would that be?

A: Iterating Hash is slower, than iterating Array:
 ▶ Benchmark.bm do |x|
 ▷   x.report do
 ▷     n.times do
 ▷       {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4, e: 5}.inject(1) { |memo, (_, v)| memo * v }
 ▷     end
 ▷   end
 ▷   x.report do
 ▷     n.times do
 ▷       [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].inject(1) { |memo, v| memo * v }
 ▷     end
 ▷   end
 ▷ end

 #⇒      user     system      total        real
 #⇒  0.700000   0.010000   0.710000 (  0.712821)
 #⇒  0.340000   0.000000   0.340000 (  0.349040)

By calling each_value one in fact iterates the original Hash instance, while by calling values.each the iteration is being done on the Array instance (values.)
To answer the question "why is that" one should probably take a look at rb_hash_foreach and rb_array_foreach native implementation for different ruby versions.

A: I'd say the reason is optimization of Hash#values method implementation.
In your 1st benchmark you are comparing apples (enumerator creation) with oranges (array creation). It is to be expected, building whole array is more costly then producing a single generator with access to final values requiring additional calls.
If you write equivalent examples, results would be different:
  some_hash =  ('aa'..'zz').each_with_index.to_h

  Benchmark.ips do |x|
    x.report "array from map" do
      some_hash.map &:last
    end
    x.report "array from each_value" do
      some_hash.each_value.to_a
    end
    x.report "array from values" do
      some_hash.values
    end
    x.compare!
  end

  Comparison:
        array from values:   171143.8 i/s
    array from each_value:    15195.8 i/s - 11.26x slower
           array from map:     6040.9 i/s - 28.33x slower

Nothing too surprising, just be aware this is an implementation specific detail you shouldn't rely on in most cases. Algorithmical complexity is what counts.

Ford Flex styling is standout feature
Ann M. Job, for the Associated Press
June 20, 2013 Updated: July 27, 2017 12:26 a.m.
The bold, boxy exterior of the Ford Flex is such a forceful statement, it can distract from the other notable features of this generously sized, six- to seven-passenger crossover vehicle.
But Flex stylists aren't retreating. For 2013, they updated the Flex front end with new fascia, grille and headlights for a more impactful appearance.
Even the blue Ford logo has been removed from the grille now, leaving the word "Flex" spelled out in large letters across the front edge of the hood.
If this is not enough of a distinctive look, Flex buyers can opt for a roof color that's different from the body of the vehicle. As an example, the test 2013 Flex came with a Silver, two-tone roof atop a body painted Deep Impact Blue.
Try finding this combination on a factory-built Honda Pilot or Dodge .
The Flex also is one of the few large people haulers that offers a turbocharged, gasoline V-6. Ford's EcoBoost V-6 generates 365 horsepower and 350 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm in the hefty, 4,800-pound Flex. This compares with the 250-horsepower, non-turbo V-6 with 253 foot-pounds of torque at 4,800 rpm that's the only engine available in the Pilot.
Consumer Reports lists the Flex as a recommended buy with average reliability overall, but prices -- particularly for a Flex with EcoBoost engine -- can be eye opening.
Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $31,795 for a base 2013 Flex SE with front-wheel drive. This base model comes with naturally aspirated, 287-horsepower V-6 and cloth seats with middle second row that's a bench. The lowest starting retail price, including destination charge, for a 2013 Flex with all-wheel drive is $36,145 and this also includes the non-turbo V-6. The lowest starting MSRP and destination charge for a 2013 Flex with the turbo V-6 is $45,195.
This luxury-segment price stems from the fact the turbo is only available on the top-of-the-line Flex Limited which comes with standard luxury features such as perforated leather seats, 19-inch wheels, blind-spot monitor, navigation system and Sony audio with 12 speakers. Also, the turbo engine is only in the 2013 Flex Limited with all-wheel drive.
In comparison, the starting MSRP, including destination charge, for a base, 2013 Pilot with front-wheel drive is $30,350, and a 2013 Dodge Durango which has three rows of seats and a 290-horsepower, naturally aspirated V-6, has a starting retail price of $30,490 with rear-wheel drive.
The Flex can be difficult to describe. Some people call it a crossover SUV because it sits lower to the pavement than a traditional SUV and has more car-like ride and handling. But others see the Flex exterior shape as a wagon, albeit one that stretches 17 feet in overall length and stands 5.7 feet tall.
These dimensions make the Flex longer than the Pilot and but shorter in height.
But then, the Flex does not have as low a floor as a minivan does, and it requires a bit more work than a minivan to get inside to the third row.
Whether it's the odd looks, the difficulty in describing what the Flex is or the pricing, the Flex is the lowest-selling Ford-branded SUV/crossover/wagon. Sales last calendar year totaled 28,224, which is only a quarter of the total U.S. sales for the Pilot. And so far in calendar 2013, Flex sales are down another 22 percent from what they were last year at this time.
Still, the roomy interior of the tester was impressive. Front-seat passengers get nearly 42 inches of headroom and nearly 41 inches of legroom. In comparison, front-seat headroom in the Pilot is 40 inches, with 41.4 inches of legroom.
In the second row, Flex riders can have an amazing 44 inches of legroom as the separate captain's chairs can slide fore and aft to adjust legroom between second and third rows.
Meantime, even adults can sit decently comfortable in the Flex's third row seats for two with an impressive 38.7 inches of headroom -- vs. 37.8 inches in the Durango -- and legroom of 33.3 inches. This third-row legroom surpasses the 31.5 inches in the Durango and 32.1 inches in the back of the Pilot.
The Flex dashboard can appear a bit massive, but the selection of soft-touch plastics and textures looked good in the test vehicle.
But the sizable metal pillars at the sides of the windshield were major obstacles for a driver trying to make turns into crosswalks.
Because the Flex tester had the turbo, it came with suspension tuned for a bit tighter body control than a base Flex. As a result, the test vehicle rode through twisty mountain roads without conveying a loose feeling of uncontrolled weight shift back and forth.
There was a less tippy feeling overall, but passengers felt road vibrations, and the optional 20-inch wheels sometimes sent strong impacts from potholes through the vehicle.
The uplevel, 3.5-liter, double overhead cam, turbocharged V-6 delivered power smoothly and strongly and worked through a six-speed automatic.
In the Limited, there are paddle shifters at the steering wheel so a sporty-minded driver can select forward gear shifts on his or her own. But it's debatable how many Flex buyers want to use this feature.
Fuel economy isn't great, even when the Flex carries only one person and no cargo. The tester averaged just 18 miles per gallon, which is on par with the federal government ratings.
Some 2013 Flex models were among nearly 400,000 Ford vehicles recalled late last month because a fuel module may crack and cause fuel to leak, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Market Watch: Boom times for limes
Mexican limes grown by Flying Disc Ranch in Thermal, at the Santa Monica farmers market.
(David Karp)
By David Karp
Special to the Los Angeles Times
The last decade or so has seen a remarkable boom in the quantity and variety of limes and lime-like fruits available in the United States. California has become the leading domestic producer, albeit by default, and late autumn is prime season for limes, especially at farmers markets, where the ripeness, freshness and diversity of limes is unbeatable. But the interplay of variety, growing areas and seasons can be confusing, and the nomenclature, as well as the very concept of what is a "lime," is unclear.
The original is the "true" lime, Citrus aurantifolia, native to northeastern India and Southeast Asia and known here as Mexican, Key or West Indian limes. All are small, roundish, seedy and sour, with pale greenish flesh; they are usually sold with green rinds, although in cool-winter climates like ours they turn yellow when fully ripe. They are prized for their acidic juice and rich aroma, with pine, spicy and floral notes.
This distinctive aroma, which is more pronounced in true limes than in their more common large-fruited cousins, represents a happy combination of its pollen parent, citron, the father of the lemon, and its seed parent, a papeda, possibly C. micrantha, one of a group of primitive citrus species with acrid rind oil, like the Kaffir lime.
The local season for true limes, roughly October to December, is earlier and shorter than that for large-fruited limes. In general, it's earlier and shorter still in inland districts with more extreme climates and later and longer in coastal areas, where small quantities may be available year-round. True limes produce most heavily in tropical climates and are the most cold-tender of citrus, so all but a tiny fraction of them are imported, mostly from Mexico. Because of their small size and thin skin, true limes dry out easily and are relatively perishable, so they're less common and more expensive per pound than large-fruited limes.
Large-fruited limes — the Bearss variety in California, and Tahiti or Persian elsewhere — are by far the most common type of limes here, both at supermarkets and farmers markets. The local season runs from late summer to early spring, so we're right in the middle now, although individual groves can differ markedly in timing.
Historically the large-fruited limes were accorded their own species, C. latifolia, but scientists now understand that they represent a natural hybrid of true lime and citron. Unlike most kinds of citrus, which have two sets of chromosomes, large-fruited limes have three, and this genetic peculiarity causes them to be sterile and therefore seedless. This and their larger size makes them more convenient than small-fruited limes, although at their best the latter arguably have a slight edge in aroma.
The more important factor is ripeness: Although Mexico can grow very good Persian limes, producers there sometimes harvest the fruit when it is dark green and dry, so we're fortunate to have access at farmers markets to light green, silver (intermediate) and yellow limes, which are juicier and more aromatic.
I'm still surprised every year when I see the canary-yellow color of fully ripe Bearss limes from inland producers like Pritchett Farms of Visalia, which seem more like Meyer lemons until you scratch and sniff the rinds or cut them open to reveal the pale greenish flesh.
Demand from immigrants from tropical Asia and Latin America, and an increasing taste among native-born Americans for tropical cuisines and food habits, has spurred a continuing boom in lime imports. While per capita consumption of citrus overall declined 24% from 1999 to 2009, consumption of limes more than doubled, from 1.55 to 3.61 pounds, according to Department of Agriculture statistics.
The vast majority is imported from Mexico, where huanglongbing, a bacterial disease deadly to citrus trees, has spread rapidly since its discovery in 2009, and threatens to severely disrupt production. Florida, which used to be the leading domestic source of limes, has lost almost all its groves — its famous Key limes and its large-fruited varieties — to hurricanes and disease. California's lime acreage, which was 473 in 2010, has remained stable for the last decade, leaving our area as the last significant domestic source.
Those are the two most important types of limes, historically and commercially, but the name has also been applied more loosely to other citrus with some (but not necessarily all) lime-like features such as small size, green color and acid pulp. These differ in ancestry, although some share common parents with the limes proper.
The most widely available exotic type, sweet lime (C. limettioides), is a hybrid of citron and either sweet or sour orange, small to medium in size, roundish, with a prominent nipple, yellow rind when ripe and pale yellow pulp. It is almost completely lacking in acidity, giving it a flavor that seems insipid to most Americans, but sweet limes (sometimes called sweet lemons) are very much appreciated in areas such as Latin America and the Middle East, where they are considered to be refreshing and healthy.
The Kaffir lime, from a species (C. hystrix) related to the papeda parent of true limes, is native to Southeastern Asia, where the highly aromatic leaves are indispensable in Thai cooking. The fruits, round with a nob at the top and a bumpy rind, are bitter and seedy, and are often left by growers to fall on the ground. In their native counties, they are commonly used in hair wash and insect repellant, although the juice and grated rind are occasionally used in cooking.
The finger lime, Microcitrus australasica, looks quite different from other citrus, like a gherkin, up to 3 inches in length, with thin skin and round, firm juice vesicles that pop on the tongue like caviar. It has a flavor that combines lemon and lime with green and herbaceous notes, and has been a novelty and high-priced sensation in the last several years as the first local plantings have started bearing fruit. Peak season is October to December, but the trees produce some fruit year-round in coastal districts. Finger lime caviar is used with seafood, cocktails and desserts, and it adds a welcome acidity and crunchy texture to Fuyu persimmons, also at their best at this time.
My pick for a coming foodie craze, but still currently the least familiar of exotic limes, is Rangpur lime (C. limonia), which looks just like a mandarin, medium in size, flattish and seedy, with orange skin and flesh. If you taste the very tart pulp, however, you'll know immediately why it is sometimes called "mandarin lime." Native to the Indian subcontinent, it's a hybrid of citron and mandarin, backcrossed to mandarin. The Rangpur's rind and juice have a clean, spicy flavor, which makes it a favorite of adventurous citrus lovers for marmalade and cocktails.
Sandy Lejeune, who used to work at Fairview Gardens, now tends an orchard that has a few Rangpur lime trees, and he sells the fruits at the Santa Barbara Saturday farmers market. Mud Creek Ranch of Santa Paula has planted Rangpur trees, although they're still young. A specialty citrus grower in Orange Cove, Rising C Ranches, sells Rangpur limes by mail order from late December to March.

My name is Ali, I am a mother of a two year old. I love fitness currently in school to become a personal trainer, I also love photography sometimes I take pictures of myself by myself which I enjoy the most and I feel like I'm a pretty good model. Obviously not a real one, but a girl can dream right? Hope this about me sorta helped you learn a little about me.


Here at Techfellow, we realise that technology doesn't stand still, it's always evolving, and becoming more decentralized. That's why we get excited about new technology and get involved. Grace Hopper once said "I have always been more interested in the future, than the past…" and we wholeheartedly agree.
A little while back, one of our colleagues saw something in a charity shop. It was a 1969 book on "Computers at work"; it talked about the IBM System/360 Model 25 which was available for rental for about $5,000 a month (as of 2016, this is about $32,000), with a purchase price of around $253,000 (roughly $1.6mm today)… This had the basic memory in 16,000 bytes. We found it funny given the pace of change. If you said to many youngsters, about an SD card having 128mb available to you, they'd laugh, yet in 2004 that that was considered an amazing feat of technology. Nowadays we take for granted having 128gb available on a microSD, Exabytes of information at our fingertips and the WWW in our pocket, yet this all had to start somewhere.
This is why we live and breathe tech; we look for that seed of innovation and follow it as it grows.
One of our directors, Paul Redman, regularly attends conferences along with our Lead Data Consultant, Joe Pocock. Most recently they attended a Corda conference on Blockchain and DLT; focussing on financial services. As technologists at heart, we do our best to get as low a level understanding of these technologies as possible, so that we know what our clients need now, and in the future. This is intelligent recruiting.
We understand for example that Blockchain is not just for Bitcoins, (or Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ripple, Quark, Freicoin or any one of the 1800+ other cryptocurrencies around), we know that it has uses far beyond this. It has the potential to revolutionize not only the financial industry but the world as we know it. It can bring trust to a trustless world, and give a secure identity to everyone. Unlike others who jump on the buzzword bingo bandwagon, we like to discuss and learn about emerging technologies from the start.

Only 13 Windrush victims given emergency support
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Only 13 of the 91 Windrush victims who applied for aid have been granted emergency support by the UK government by the end of April, a year after the government apologised for its "appalling" mistake in classifying thousands of legal UK residents as illegal immigrants.
According to London-based newspaper, the Guardian, many of those affected were pushed into destitution because of the combined effect of being forced out of their jobs, and being told they were ineligible for benefits and healthcare.
Even though the UK government agreed to launch a hardship fund at the end of last year, many victims are said to be facing eviction, and visits from bailiffs.
Over 6,400 have been given documents confirming that they are living in the UK legally, of whom 4,200 have been granted British citizenship, according to the latest update of the work of the Commonwealth Citizens Taskforce, the Guardian reported.
Due to officials wrongfully misinforming the Home Office that Windrush generation people were in the UK illegally, a number of people lost their benefits or driving licences, and letters were sent to their employers advising them to conduct a "right to work" check.
The home secretary, Sajid Javid, is said to have written another 46 letters of apology to those wrongly sanctioned as a result of this data-sharing exercise.
"I have been very clear that the experiences of some members of the Windrush generation [have] been completely unacceptable, which is why I am committed to right the wrongs of successive governments," he is quoted as saying.
Officials however have still failed to make contact with 16 people who were wrongly removed by the Home Office; at least 12 people who were mistakenly removed died before officials were able to apologise to them.

Naturally this diminished wrist and stick mobility --leading to the hand getting hit more!-- and so began the search for lighter and more agile alternatives that still offered some protection. Foremost amongst these have been various models of street hockey gloves—and to this day these are the standard.
HEADGEAR: This brings us to the matter of headgear. When we first began the After Midnight Group we were using some helmets that Eric had forged. Eric had previous experience using fencing masks, but after an absence of willing play mates he made these helmets. They were very heavy-- indeed they were a challenge to neck strength—and they offered complete protection from the impact of a stick , , , and danger of lasting damage to the neck during grappling which we had just begun to allow.


We consider extinction to be a silent process that took place somewhere in the dark ages. The dinosaurs aren't the only ones that were prone to extinction. Humanity has been the reason for the total elimination of many creatures, while some were taken back by nature herself. Some of the animals portrayed here managed to survive until the photographic age. They may be long gone but through the unfocused, sepia and black-and-white photographs, we can still remember them. Here are 10 such animals that went extinct from the face of the Earth but are still preserved in photographs.
1. Thylacine, a.k.a – The Tasmanian Tiger.
The Thylacine or the Tasmanian Tiger once roamed around the mainlands in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. By the time the European settlement was starting, the rise in human activity brought it closer to extinction. The carnivorous marsupial of modern times stood about 2′ tall and 6′ long. Bounties placed on the thylacine prompted people to hunt them down, leading to its extinction. Other factors, such as diseases and the introduction of dogs, were also a key factor in pushing the Thylacine to its extinction. The last known male Thylacine was kept at the Beaumaris Zoo and can be seen in the picture above, taken in 1933.
Quagga, an extinct subspecies of the common zebra, roamed around the lands of South Africa during the 19th century. The photograph shown above was taken from the London zoo, which is sadly, the only one to ever be photographed. During the 19th century, they were hunted down for their meat, hides and as a feed for domesticated animals. This brought down the numbers from many to just one, as the last wild Quagga was shot in the 1870's. The one pictured above was kept in the London zoo until its death in August of 1883.
The Barbary Lion, also known as the Atlas lion or Nubian lion, was found from Morocco to Egypt. Unlike other lions, the Barbary Lion was the largest and heaviest of the lion subspecies. Lions often live in prides but the scarcity of food drove the Barbary Lions to hunt for themselves and live an individual life. According to some historians, the lions used in gladiatorial combats during the Roman times were Barbary lions. The photograph shown above was taken in 1893 in Algeria.
This extinct subspecies of wild horse was also known as the Eurasian Wild Horse. Between 1875-1890, the Tarpan lived in the wild. While trying to capture one, humans ended up accidentally killing it. They stood 5′ tall at the shoulder, with a thick mane, shoulder stripes and dark legs. The image shown above is the only existing photo of a live Tarpan, while the last one was kept in captivity until its death in 1918.
The Bali Tiger was native to the Indonesian island of Bali and was also known by the name Harimau Bali. Even though the picture above is not clear, it is proof of the smallest tiger subspecies to have ever lived. In 1937, the last Bali Tiger was killed. The tigers were shorter than their subspecies, with darker fur and the equivalent size of a leopard. Their extinction was due to hunting by Europeans and very few were known to live until the 1950's.

Two Years Hard Labour Pays Off For Playwright Simo
IT IS just two years since Welsh writer Simon Harris unveiled his first play but he has already made a huge impact on the arts world.
Following its success, Harris was nominated as most promising playwright in the Evening Standard drama awards and Badfinger has since been filmed for the BBC.
His second play, called Wales Alaska, was written for the Royal National Theatre.
It was staged a year ago at the theatre's studio in London where the works of up-and-coming writers are aired.
Now Harris is enjoying success with his third play, Garageland, which is currently touring Wales.
It is based on a real dramatic incident. Harris had heard news reports earlier this year about a man with serious stab wounds who had driven across the Severn Bridge from England to Swansea.
"It captured people's imaginations," said 38-year-old Harris, who is from Swansea.
"They were keen to find out what it was about."
The man was discovered unconscious on the motorway hard shoulder and was taken to Morriston Hospital.
Following interviews with the victim, police revealed they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
"I was intrigued by what had happened - that was my starting point," said Harris.
Garageland starts with the man in hospital having a flash back. Apart from the fact that the central character was found in the same circumstances as the real-life victim, the rest of the play is completely fictional.
"The play is about the need for illusions - how they are comforting and represent hopes and aspirations.
"This character is trapped in the grip of an illusion.
"It's presented in a very vibrant style - the character tells one version of the story and we see another one."
Garageland, which is being performed by the Steel Wasp Theatre Company, opened at Taliesin Arts Centre in Swansea earlier this month and has since been staged in Carmarthen and Cardiff.
"It's been brilliant," said Harris. "The theatre was absolutely jammed packed the both nights it was in Swansea. The company has been inundated with calls - I am absolutely thrilled."
The next performance will take place at the Drama Centre in Abergavenny on Friday.
Meanwhile, Harris is directing a revival of Badfinger, which will be performed at Swansea's Grand Theatre next Spring.
There are also plans to revive Wales Alaska.

Trafalgar Square at Sunset London
Trafalgar Square is a public square in the City of Westminster, Central London, built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross. Its name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory in the Napoleonic Wars with France and Spain that took place on 21 October 1805 off the coast of Cape Trafalgar, Spain.
The site of Trafalgar Square had been a significant landmark since the 13th century and originally contained the King's Mews. After George IV moved the mews to Buckingham Palace, the area was redeveloped by John Nash, but progress was slow after his death, and the square did not open until 1844. The 169-foot (52 m) Nelson's Column at its centre is guarded by four lion statues. A number of commemorative statues and sculptures occupy the square, but the Fourth Plinth, left empty since 1840, has been host to contemporary art since 1999.
The square has been used for community gatherings and political demonstrations, including Bloody Sunday, the first Aldermaston March, anti-war protests, and campaigns against climate change. A Christmas tree has been donated to the square by Norway since 1947 and is erected for twelve days before and after Christmas Day. The square is a centre of annual celebrations on New Year's Eve. It was well known for its feral pigeons until their removals in the early 21st century.

NowThis' "Who Is?" and Thrillist's "Re-Rank (WT)" Podcasts to Launch in Fall 2019
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Group Nine Media, the no. 1 publisher on mobile, and iHeartMedia, the no. 1 commercial podcast publisher globally, today announced an exclusive slate of portfolio-wide, co-produced podcasts to join the iHeartPodcast Network. The new slate will include at least one podcast from each of Group Nine's four brands: NowThis, The Dodo, Seeker and Thrillist, as well as one from JASH, which is part of the media company's LA-based Studios team. The partnership will kick off with two new original podcasts from NowThis and Thrillist set to launch this fall. All podcasts will be overseen by Mickey Meyer, President of Network, and Brett Kushner, VP of New Initiatives at Group Nine and executive produced by Mangesh Hattikudur, Head of Development at the iHeartPodcast Network.
"Storytelling is at the core of any forward-looking media brand in today's industry," said Mickey Meyer, President of Group Nine's Network. "As a distributed media company and the leader on mobile, we've always met audiences where they are and podcasting is certainly the place to be. iHeartRadio knows this better than anyone and we're excited to partner with them to extend Group Nine's brands and creative prowess into the audio space."
"Group Nine's brands create content that resonates extremely well with their dedicated and loyal fans," said Conal Byrne, President of the iHeartPodcast Network. "They are pioneers in social-first publishing and have built meaningful online communities that connect with audiences. We are excited to work together with them to co-produce an amazing slate of shows and extend their brands into the burgeoning podcast space."
Group Nine's brand NowThis will introduce the "Who is?" podcast, which will explore backstories of America's most powerful people, while Thrillist will premiere the "Re-Rank (WT)" podcast, which will re-examine some of Thrillists most iconic lists. Full descriptions for the new podcasts below:
"Who is?" from NowThis
16 episodes, 30 minutes long
''Who Is?'' explores the backstories of America's most powerful people from top leaders in Washington and President Trump's inner circle to the field of presidential hopefuls and major political donors. Each week, our host, NowThis correspondent, Sean Morrow, dives deep into a different political character with a complicated history and examines the power player's story and their connections to one another. "Who Is?" is already a successful multi-platform series across YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and IGTV, with short biography videos voiced by celebrities. As a podcast extension, "Who Is?" will dive deep into conversations with the people and experts closest to our subject of the week.
"Re-Rank (WT)" from Thrillist
20 episodes, 35-45 minutes long
Thrillist is famous for finding the best of the best in food, drink, travel, and entertainment. Hosted by Thrillist writer and producer, Wil Fulton, "Re-Rank (WT)" takes one iconic Thrillist list and sets it up for discussion, bringing in the Thrillist writers and editors behind the pieces to detail their process, reveal how internal decisions were made, and — in some cases — defend their choices. In each episode, we'll explore and try to define what is the "best" in the topic at hand, debate the findings, and touch on relevant topics in the Thrillist zeitgeist.

Last month's Black Friday promotions were relatively rational compared with last year, when plummeting prices on flat-panel TVs obliterated margins and sent retailers like Tweeter, Circuit City and CompUSA reeling.
This time around, older models, 720p TVs and private-label products bore the brunt of the early-bird discounting, which should bode well for dealers' bottom lines.
"The promotions were not as aggressive as last year," observed Gregg Richard, president of P.C. Richard & Son, although shoppers remained undaunted. "The customer still came out and there was lots of excitement around CE."
Dennis May, president/COO of hhgregg, concurred. Despite some programmed price movement from manufacturers, "[holiday] pricing is a little more stable, a little more rational," he told analysts during a recent investors' call.
Banc of America Securities retail analyst David Strasser observed that Black Friday pricing was "generally tame vs. last year," with sales and margins holding up well. Among the specialty chains, "Best Buy appeared less aggressive than we would have thought," employing its private-label Insignia and Dynex brands to drive opening price points, while Circuit City was "aggressive, but not to the extent that it upset the dynamic of the promotional environment," he said in a research note.
"Things were a little bit tamer and not quite as excessive," agreed Stephen Baker, industry analysis VP for The NPD Group. But then again, "There wasn't as much to cut because we already cut prices a lot," he said, particularly in categories like digital cameras where average selling prices on point-and-shoot models had already fallen below the $200 threshold. "It doesn't get everyone all juiced up," he said.
That wasn't the case for other categories. Enas Rayner, a district manager for Circuit City in New York, reported that digital cameras, iPods and navigation items were in high demand on Black Friday at the chain's new-format The City store in Manhattan, as were 42-inch, 46-inch and 50-inch HDTVs.
Armando Lopez, general manager of an adjacent Best Buy, said GPS systems were very popular, along with laptops, PCs and HDTV. He added that the store, on the corner of Fifth Ave. and E. 46th Street, was busier this Black Friday than last year.
At a Costco in the Long Island City section of Queens, store manager Kareem Zeffouni recounted how when the doors opened at 9 a.m., "Consumers ran in like something you see on TV," and within eight minutes 20 58-inch HDTVs were sold. The warehouse club was offering $500 off the price of a 58-inch Panasonic 720p plasma display.
The manager of the store's CE section said Black Friday business was "better than last year" in his department, with Wii gaming systems selling out as soon as they were put on the floor. The mayhem continued well into the afternoon, with some three dozen shoppers still queued up outside a nearby Best Buy at 3 p.m.


Screenings and Meanings: Capitalism and democracy: for the money or the many?
SCapitalism and democracy: for the money or the many?
In every political system, even a democracy, the rich tend to hold more political power. The danger is that this political power will be used to promote policies that further cement the economic power of the rich. The higher the inequality, the more likely we are to move away from democracy toward plutocracy.
— World Inequality Report 2018, p. 4.
We are on the way to becoming a two-tiered society, composed of a few winners, and a larger group of Americans left behind, whose anger and whose disillusionment is easily manipulated. Once unbottled, mass resentment can poison the very fabric of society, the moral integrity of a society, replacing ambition with envy, replacing tolerance with hate.
According to the World Inequality Report 2018 the rise in wealth inequality has "been very large in the United States, where the top 1 per cent wealth share rose from 22 per cent in 1980 to 39 per cent in 2014. Most of that increase in inequality was due to the rise of the top 0.1 per cent wealth owners." The Economist Newsdesk of December 2018 observed that: "most Americans believe there is too much inequality. But they underestimate just how much of it there is. The average American puts the current ratio of CEO to unskilled worker pay at 30-to-one; their preference is for about seven-to-one. But the actual CEO-unskilled wage ratio in America is 354 to one." Research has also found that many Americans don't trust governments to do much about the problem and are skeptical about redistributive remedies.
Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkley, who was labour secretary in the first Clinton administration cabinet, has spent decades analyzing inequality in America and trying to convince his fellow citizens to do something about it so as to avoid the ill effects of a nation increasingly divided by the bottom line. His prescient warning from 1994, cited above, seems even more pertinent today as we count the consequences that occur when populist anger boils over.
Reich's important work and public advocacy was previously the subject of director Jacob Kornbluth's 2013 documentary Inequality for All, which won a special jury ward at the Sundance film festival. Together with co-director Sari Gilman, Kornbluth brings Reich's bracing message back to the screen in the Netflix documentary Saving Capitalism, which began streaming in late November 2017. While drawing on Reich's 2015 book Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few, including information illustrated through clever animation, the film gets its energy and urgency through accompanying the diminutive professor — a veritable "little guy for the little guy" — as he takes his ideas on the road into the heartland to meet with ordinary people who will never read his books.
Who speaks for those with little economic power? Small wonder that there has been a big loss of public trust in government. Reich recalls his time in government as a "tough slog" in losing battles to curb corporate subsidies. At the time he warned of the dangers of mass resentment and targeting scapegoats. He worries about this continuing to build, driving wedges between people, and being exploited for cynical political advantage.
Reich argues that the pro-free market ideology of minimal government is misleading, since the evidence shows how the well-connected have been able to use government to their advantage. For example, in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, it was the public treasury that was stuck with the costs of enormous bailouts. In the end Main Street suffered a lot more than Wall Street. As money has flooded into political campaigns, it favours donors with deep pockets. When assessing government action (or inaction), "Who benefits?" is a critical question. Reich criticizes the Trump administration's tax reforms for further tilting the economic playing field toward the rich. He cites a research study which found that the preferences of average Americans have almost no impact on public policy outcomes.
Reich doesn't just preach to the converted. He engages in stimulating exchanges with business people, Republican voters, and a conservative Republican congressman who shares his concern about the distorting effects of "crony capitalism." A common thread he finds across these conversations is that democracy is not working as it should when the interests of ordinary people are ignored.
What is the answer? The temptation toward an authoritarian populism — trusting in a big man at the top to be the people's voice — is a dangerous path, Reich warns, because "democracy is a very fragile thing." Rather, he sees hope in efforts at grassroots mobilization by citizens seeking to reclaim their economy and democracy. And, as this ebullient down-to-earth prof urges his students, have fun while doing so. Given the dark scenarios dominating our news cycles, it's a welcome upbeat note on which to end this timely film that deserves a wide viewership.
Another aspect of that dark side is the influx of large sums of outside money from disguised sources to influence American elections at all levels. Kimberly Reed's Sundance documentary Dark Money (http://www.darkmoneyfilm.com/), six years in the making, adds to the analysis in Jane Mayer's eponymous 2016 book on the subject through a penetrating examination of what has happened in the conservative "red" state of Montana. Corruption scandals in this resource-dependent state led to the enactment of corrupt practices and campaign finance laws over a century ago. But since the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the "Citizens United" case against the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which granted "free speech" rights to unlimited corporate money, the floodgates opened and legal challenges have overturned state finance laws.
Dark Money reveals in detail the ways in which outside corporate interests pushing a hard-right libertarian agenda have used such money flows, often through deceptive front organizations with benign titles (e.g. the Western Tradition Partnership, Americans for Prosperity) to control legislatures and even courts where judges are elected. Attacking regulations and disclosure requirements, the goal is the covert manipulation of public policy.
Sparsely populated Montana, with a history of citizen legislators, has seen vast sums of outside money from hidden sources deployed in electoral contests, often targeting moderate Republicans as well as Democrats. One speaks of the use of "shock and awe electoral bombing" tactics. Why bother lobbying when it's possible to, in effect, buy compliant officeholders. Pressures can also be brought against independent media and to limit investigations into what is, in effect, legalized bribery. At the federal level former FEC chair Anne Ravel laments how its oversight role has been neutralized.
Fortunately citizens, politicians, and journalists are fighting back and claiming some successes. When John Adams, Montana's ace investigative reporter on the dark money trail, lost his newspaper job and was briefly homeless, he didn't quit but instead founded an online news site: https://montanafreepress.org/. (On a national level see also https://www.followthemoney.org/, http://www.opensecrets.org/, and the Wisconsin-based centre for Media and Democracy: https://www.prwatch.org/.) Reed also profiles the dogged work of others in Montana, including its Commissioner of Political Practices and a former attorney general. In 2015 a new campaign finance disclosure law was passed and a former legislator convicted of finance violations.
Given the gross and growing inequalities in American society, and the billions of dollars spent by moneyed interests for political purposes, the democratic challenge is clear for those who still believe in, to paraphrase Lincoln, government of, by and for the people.

Data Presentation
Poem: Spurious Correlation Sestina
An interesting sestina poem to discuss measurement scales and can also be used while discussing spurious correlations if the teacher provides a guiding question such as "What part of the poem describes the relationship between quantitative variables, rather than just descriptions of quantitative variables? Are those relationships examples of 'Spurious Correlations' (per the title of the poem)? Explain briefly." If the students need further help, the instructor might suggest that they focus on the second to last stanza. The was written by Jules Nyquist, the founder of Jules' Poetry Playhouse, a place for poetry and play and published in the Journal of Humanistic Mathematics (2022) v. 12 #2 p.554.
Joke: State Shapes
A joke relating the voting preferences of certain states with the shape of a map of the states (i.e. the shape they take if viewed as a histogram). The joke was written in 2019 by Larry Lesser from The University of Texas at El Paso.
Song: Maxwell's Visual
A song to be used in discussing the value of visualizations in telling a data story along with the importance of using "clean" data in doing so. The lyrics were written by Dennis K Pearl from Penn State University in July, 2022. May be sung to the tune of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" written by Paul McCartney and released by the Beatles in 1969.
Song: My Data Lies Over the Average
A song about regression to the mean written by Dennis K Pearl from Penn State University in February 2022. May be sung to the tune of the Scottish folk song "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. The audio recording was produced by Nicolas Acedo with vocals by Alejandra Nunez Vargas, both students in the Commercial Music Program at The University of Texas at El Paso.
Song: Variation
A song by Lawrence M Lesser written in 2022 to emphasize the idea that measures of variation like the standard deviation or IQR do not change with a shift in location. May be sung to the tune of "Vacation", the 1982 hit by the all-female rock band, the Go-Go's. The audio for this parody was produced by Nicolas Acedo Aguilar and the vocalist was Alexandria Campos, students in the commercial music program at The University of Texas at El Paso.
Song: X-bar 12-bar Blues
A song video about major conceptual properties of the mean, as identified in the statistics education literature. Music and lyrics (c) 2018 Lawrence M. Lesser, where Verses 2,3,4, and 7 use properties from Strauss & Bichler's 1988 JRME article while Verses 5 and 6 use concepts listed in Pre-K-12 GAISE Report.
Cartoon: Ice-cream sales and shark sightings
A cartoon to aid in discussing confounding and correlative versus causal relationships, for example by asking students to suggest an alternate reason for the relationship besides the one jokingly illustrated in the cartoon. The cartoon was created by English cartoonist John Landers in December, 2021 based on an idea by Dennis Pearl (Penn State University) and Larry Lesser (The University of Texas at El Paso).

The limited reach of Tunisia's wireline infrastructure means that mobile networks have shouldered the burden of fast-maturing digital services consumption. This is not sustainable even with 4G technology. A national wholesale network operator would spread the load and make it easier to launch and grow the use of advanced services, benefiting the wider economy.
A consortium headed by the Tunisian Internet Agency (ITA) has secured an infrastructure operator licence that permits it to build and operate a nationwide high-capacity network on a technology-neutral basis. It would offer access to this network on a wholesale basis and will market it to other network operators as well as specialised service providers. The new network would help Tunisian operators extend high-speed broadband services beyond the principal cities and reduce reliance on the ageing infrastructure of incumbent Tunisie Telecom.
The latter is the largest wireline network operator in Tunisia, directly serving 866,000 voice and 275,000 fixed broadband retail subscribers at the end of June 2017. Although it has been investing heavily in upgrading its copper network with ADSL technology, Tunisie Telecom has struggled to extend its reach into rural areas, owing to the unattractive return on investment (RoI) prospects. Its rivals in the mobile arena, Ooredoo and Orange, also offer wireline voice and broadband services, but this is generally achieved over Tunisie Telecom facilities. As the two smaller players are keen to expand multi-play services to new areas of the country, we expect them to be keen to acquire access to the new player's infrastructure.
As the state owns stakes in both ATI and Tunisie Telecom, we expect these companies to be open to working together, sharing access to ducts, conduits and other rights of way. We also consider it likely that other state-owned utilities, such as the national power distribution company and the national railways operator to also be open to sharing their proprietary communications facilities as well as rights of way. Consequently, work on the TND54mn (USD22.2mn) project has the potential to progress very quickly.
We have been forecasting sluggish growth in broadband service adoption in Tunisia in light of Tunisie Telecom's efforts to decommission older switches and transmission systems on its ageing copper network and its relatively limited efforts to deploy xDSL and fibre as modern replacements. Customer migration to cheaper voice-and-data smartphone subscriptions is well underway and will continue, but this will be less pronounced if there is a more attractive wireline alternative, which this new initiative promises.
We assume that the new network will be based on modern IP technology and will support both fixed and mobile access. The new network will therefore also appeal to mobile operators looking to reduce data transmission latency by adding additional backhaul capacity to their systems and will permit the development of new service paradigms such as fixed 4G and converged service packaging. Operators and service providers will therefore be able to operate on improved operating margins and will gain fresh incentive to address connectivity shortfalls in rural areas, improving digital inclusivity and bolstering economic growth. Currently, we forecast broadband subscriptions to grow from 1.581mn in 2017 to 1.708mn by 2021; there is scope to revise this forecast upwards if the new network is deployed quickly and makes good on expectations to offer wholesale access at fair and transparent prices.
