Q: Basic Question about Hartshorne's definition of "locally of finite type". In chapter 2.3, Hartshorne defines a morphism $f: X \to Y$ to be locally of finite type if there is an open affine cover $\{V_i\}$ of $Y$ and open affine covers $\{U_{ij}\}$ of $f^{-1}(V_i)$ so that $\mathscr{O}_Y(V_i) \to \mathscr{O}_X(U_{ij})$ makes $\mathscr{O}_X(U_{ij})$ a f.g. algebra over $\mathscr{O}_Y(V_i)$.
My question is, what is this homomorphism? The only way it seems to obtain this is via a restriction under the assumption that $U_{ij} \subseteq f^{-1}(V_i)$. Then, we can compose the natural $\mathscr{O}_Y(V_i) \to \mathscr{O}_X(f^{-1}(V_i))$ and the restriction $\mathscr{O}_X(f^{-1}(V_i)) \to \mathscr{O}_X(U_{ij})$. This assumption is not part of the definition, though. How would we find this map if $U_{ij} \not\subseteq f^{-1}(V_i)$? The definition of "open cover" I am familiar with only requires $f^{-1}(V_i) \subset \bigcup_{j} U_{ij}$ but the condition in hartshorne seems to assume equality.
I must be missing something. I know that open affines form a base for the topology on $X$ so $f^{-1}(V_i) = \bigcup_{j} U_{ij}$ would not be a very strange condition. Is that the condition I should assume when hartshorne says that $\{U_{ij}\}$ is an open cover of $f^{-1}(V_j)$?
Thank you!

Residents of Pittsburgh are actively involved with many projects, and sometimes those projects produce waste. When they do, it's important to know how to dispose of that waste responsibly and reliably. After all, not everything you throw away is going to fit in your street-side trash can, and city garbage collectors may not take certain materials. For that reason, many families and businesses in Pittsburgh consider other options. One such option is to rent a roll-off dumpster, but sometimes people want more information before they decide on that strategy. You may be curious about how to find affordable dumpster rentals in the Pittsburgh area so that you can make sure your chosen waste disposal solution is a cost-effective one.
When you need to find affordable dumpster rentals in Pittsburgh, you'll have to consider several different factors. It's not as simple as going with the lowest flat fee you can find since most dumpster rental companies don't offer flat rates for their units. You'll have to examine the different pricing models available, and then choose a company whose pricing fits the way you work so that you can save money on your rental.
The following are just some of the ways in which a dumpster rental company could choose to price their services. Look carefully at the pros and cons of each method, so that you can determine for yourself which one is best suited to fulfilling your needs.
Many dumpster rental companies use a pricing model based on the weight of the filled dumpster, which can be convenient if you're loading an entire dumpster with Styrofoam, but in many other cases it can end up being one of the most expensive options. You might not think that a single old appliance or armload of scrap is too heavy on its own, but bear in mind that even a small dumpster with a capacity of about ten cubic yards holds approximately three pickup trucks' worth of debris. That's a lot of armloads, so the weight of your final load is likely to increase more quickly than you expect. If you do decide to choose a company that rents dumpsters by weight, make sure that the weight of the dumpster doesn't factor into the total. If you rent a large dumpster this way and fill it with light materials, most of your final costs could come from the weight of the container itself. Other pricing models can help you avoid this kind of unnecessary expense.
Many other companies base their pricing model on the size of each dumpster they rent. Customers who rent smaller dumpsters pay lower fees, while customers who need larger containers pay higher prices. This arrangement sounds like a perfectly reasonable approach, but it can present some logistical issues for renters. Keep in mind that your dumpster is going to be subject to certain physical limitations during your rental period. You will have to keep it on your property, as laws prohibit rental dumpsters from occupying public rights of way such as sidewalks, pathways, streets, alleys, and public green spaces. Investing in an overly large dumpster rental, therefore, has the potential to subject the renter to hidden costs.
Imagine renting a dumpster too big for your driveway and having to put it elsewhere on your property—this could damage your landscaping and leave you with extra repair expenses after the rental period has ended. It is also worth noting that the company you rent from will have to pick up your dumpster once the rental period is over and they must be able to access it to do so. If you locate your dumpster on an inaccessible part of your property and the people who come to pick it up are unable to reach it, they could charge you late fees until you have cleared a path to the container.
One alternative to the strategies listed above is for dumpster rental companies to price their dumpsters by the length of each rental period. This approach is comparatively sensible when compared with the two above, but it is by no means flawless. Remember the last time you undertook a home improvement project. Did you know exactly how long it was going to take? The chances are that you didn't, which means it can be difficult to gauge the correct amount of time for which to set your rental period. You might assume that you will only need a dumpster for a day or so, but unexpected delays could prevent you from making the most of that time. You might then find yourself needing to rent a dumpster all over again, and paying for time that you were barely able to use. Conversely, if you assume that a project will take longer than necessary, you may end up paying for time you don't need. It can be an effective pricing model, but only if you have a flexible schedule and are particularly good at estimating the difficulty of your project.
At Junk King, we take a different approach than the three listed above. We base our pricing model on the amount of space you use in your rental dumpster, as measured in square feet. The size of our mini-dumpsters is fixed, along with the duration of each rental period. When you rent from us using our standard option, you'll receive a dumpster with a capacity of 12 cubic meters for a three-day period. It will be large enough to hold material from most household projects or small events, but small enough to fit in your driveway conveniently and not block access. A set three-day period also means that you can plan around your rental, and arrange the actual work of filling your dumpster according to your schedule. Finally, the knowledge that you're only paying for the space you use can help you save money by packing your dumpster effectively. Those of you who are particularly adept at using space efficiently will find yourselves rewarded for your efforts with lower fees at the end of the process.
Of course, not all projects are alike, so there are certain situations in which one pricing model may prove more affordable than others. We believe that our policies are the most cost-effective in a wide range of circumstances, but there are exceptions. Those of you who need to rid yourselves of large quantities of light, loose materials may find it easier to use a company that charges by weight, while those of you who know you will only need a dumpster for an afternoon can save money by using a company with flexible rental periods. In most other cases, however, we've found that customers are most satisfied with the ability to pay based on square footage.
No two waste removal projects are the same, and you will have many factors to consider when making your decision. Think carefully about the amount of time you are likely to need, the weight and density of your materials, the amount of available space on your property and the size of dumpster you can reasonably accommodate. Then choose a company whose pricing model helps you save money. For more information on why we price our dumpster rentals the way we do, contact Junk King directly and speak to one of our representatives who can provide you with more information.
Junk King Pittsburgh is committed to increasing sustainability wherever we can. The top-rated customer service offered by Junk King is something we pride ourselves on. Please consider using Junk King for your dumpster rental and junk removal. Call today (317) 427-5155 or visit Junk King online to get a quick and easy quote for dumpster rentals or for more information on what size dumpster would best suit your needs.

Oh, interesting! I was browsing through my drafts (from a time when I was writing a ton more) and I came across this post – fully written and ready to go. I just never posted it. It's dated 10/17/15 and I haven't edited it at all (aside from a stray comma that didn't belong). Funny how much this still applies, but in completely different scenarios.
Since our move, we have learned a lot about small-town sports and personal agendas that go along with those sports.
It's safe to say in any sport across America, parents want to see their kid be the star. That's normal. What I have trouble understanding is there are some teams that aren't really a team at all. It's a hierarchy. Who do you know and what will it take to get what *I* want?
Fake friends aside, I think it's the lack of integrity that's so disappointing. Setting standards for a few kids and those same rules don't apply to others is just confusing. Especially when the end result isn't a positive one. It doesn't make any sense.
The worse part of this is the kids know what's happening. They see it. In some cases, the frustration level is so high because they can't put their finger on it, but their gut is telling them something is wrong.
This is not how we teach our kids.
It is our job to show them things are tough, things are earned, and what it means to be a team player. Yes, we walk onto that field to win, but first and foremost we walk out there as a team, working together to try to achieve that. Nobody rides for free.
Every position is valuable. Defense has the capability to win games. It's not a dumping ground. Offense may score, but it's defense that stops the other team. Try having a game with a single person team, how far will you get?
A coach is responsible for the training that goes into the team, but it doesn't stop there. A coach is an extension of our community and our families. We trust in them to teach our children right from wrong (or in some cases, right from left). Just like the parents, a coach should help the kids navigate tough situations and making the right decision – even when it is hard.
True colors have surfaced. I am disheartened.
Truthfully, maybe my expectations are too high. I expected more out of some. At the end of the day, it does no good to remain silent. All we can do is express our concerns and change our own behaviors based on what we know.

Brave New Worlds
KSU's Pulinkala bridges the worlds of academia and the arts Like a grand jeté, the dance…
Georgia (Jun 10, 2010) —
KSU's Pulinkala bridges the worlds of academia and the arts
Like a grand jeté, the dance program in the College of the Arts has made great leaps forward since its inception in 2005, but rather than a grand finale like in many ballets, the curtain on the dance program is still rising.
From its humble beginnings in a plus-size classroom with low ceilings at KSU Center, the dance program graduated to a studio in the Student Recreation Center, and this fall, the program will move into an 8,000-square-foot facility at Chastain Point that boasts one large instructional studio, one small practice studio, dance offices, showers and a student lounge.
"We had 20 dance minors in 2005, and in 2008, we had more than 140 dance minors," said Ivan Pulinkala, founding director of the program. "Students were asking for a dance major, which we started in 2009. We have 62 dance majors; we stopped counting minors."
Pulinkala came to KSU to build the dance program shortly after arriving in the United States 10 years ago from his native India with nothing more than two pieces of luggage and a love for dance.
"I moved to the U.S. leaving behind a performance career, my family and essentially my entire past life to further my education in dance," he said. "I jumped on a plane and headed west to a country I knew very little about. Everything that did not fit in my luggage was left behind and I set out to make a life for myself in a whole new world where I knew absolutely no one."
After earning an M.F.A. in dance from Mill's College in Oakland, Calif., Pulinkala moved to New York City to study under nationally and internationally known teachers and choreographers before coming to KSU in 2005.
"At KSU, I saw a great opportunity to develop a dance program," he said. "There are not many dance programs in Georgia, and the administration has a strong commitment to support dance. I believed the dance program was poised for success."
Although still in its infancy, the dance program has already garnered regional and national recognition. In 2008, the KSU Dance Company won top honors at the regional American College Dance Festival held at the University of Florida. Their performance, "Incubus," was one of 29 dances selected out of a national pool of 430 to be performed at the National American College Dance Festival held at the Arthur Miller Theatre in New York City.
"A strong work ethic and high standards are the things we aspire toward and try to instill in our students," Pulinkala said.
With its "scholar-artist focus," the dance program seeks to bridge the worlds of academia and professional arts.
"Traditionally, professional dancers, especially ballet dancers, entered the professional arena at 18, which meant they didn't go to college and that trend is changing nationally," Pulinkala said. "The art form, even in ballet, has a more intellectual component, and a lot of dancers have realized a professional dance career is very short – like a professional athlete."
Courses include dance composition, history, criticism, kinesiology and pedagogy, along with African, tap, musical theater and social dance. Concentrations in the program include ballet, modern and jazz.
"We want to develop dancers, choreographers, arts administrators and dance journalists," Pulinkala said. "Graduates who can serve the field creatively and intellectually. This program is going to explode on this campus and into this community in a big way."

Q: How to keep first two duplicates in a pandas dataframe? I have a question in regards to finding duplicates in a dataframe, and removing duplicates in a dataframe using a specific column.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
Is it possible to remove duplicates but keep the first 2?
Here is an example of my current dataframe called df and take a look at the bracket notes I have placed below to give you an idea.
Note: If 'Roll' = 1 then I want to look at the Date column, see if there is a second duplicate Date in that column... keep those two and delete any others.
    Date    Open    High     Low      Close  Roll  Dupes
1  19780106  236.00  237.50  234.50  235.50     0    NaN
2  19780113  235.50  239.00  235.00  238.25     0    NaN
3  19780120  238.00  239.00  234.50  237.00     0    NaN
4  19780127  237.00  238.50  235.50  236.00     1    NaN (KEEP)
5  19780203  236.00  236.00  232.25  233.50     0    NaN (KEEP)
6  19780127  237.00  238.50  235.50  236.00     0    NaN (KEEP)
7  19780203  236.00  236.00  232.25  233.50     0    NaN (DELETE)
8  19780127  237.00  238.50  235.50  236.00     0    NaN (DELETE)
9  19780203  236.00  236.00  232.25  233.50     0    NaN (DELETE)

This is what is currently removing the dupes BUT it's removing all dupes (obviously)
df = df.drop_duplicates('Date')

EDIT: I forgot to mention something, the only duplicate I want to keep is if column 'Roll' = 1
if it does, then keep that row and the next one that matches based on column 'Date'

A: Assuming Roll can only take the values 0 and 1, if you do
df.groupby(['Date', 'Roll'], as_index=False).first()

you will get two rows for dates for which one of the rows had Roll = 1 and only one row for dates which have only Roll = 0, which I think is what you want.
If passed as_index=False so that the group keys don't end up in the index as discussed in your comment.

A: Using head with a groupby keeps the first x entries in each group, which I think accomplishes what you want.
In [52]: df.groupby('Date').head(2)
Out[52]:
       Date   Open   High     Low   Close  Roll
1  19780106  236.0  237.5  234.50  235.50     0
2  19780113  235.5  239.0  235.00  238.25     0
3  19780120  238.0  239.0  234.50  237.00     0
4  19780127  237.0  238.5  235.50  236.00     0
5  19780203  236.0  236.0  232.25  233.50     0
6  19780127  237.0  238.5  235.50  236.00     0
7  19780203  236.0  236.0  232.25  233.50     0

Edit:
In [16]: df['dupe_count'] = df.groupby('Date')['Roll'].transform('max') + 1

In [17]: df.groupby('Date', as_index=False).apply(lambda x: x.head(x['dupe_count'].iloc[0]))
Out[17]:
         Date   Open   High     Low   Close  Roll  Dupes  dupe_count
0 1  19780106  236.0  237.5  234.50  235.50     0    NaN           1
1 2  19780113  235.5  239.0  235.00  238.25     0    NaN           1
2 3  19780120  238.0  239.0  234.50  237.00     0    NaN           1
3 4  19780127  237.0  238.5  235.50  236.00     1    NaN           2
  6  19780127  237.0  238.5  235.50  236.00     0    NaN           2
4 5  19780203  236.0  236.0  232.25  233.50     0    NaN           1


The first documented cases of dogs used for SAR were the dogs at Mount St. Bernard Hospice, St. Gothard, and other Alpine passes. By 1899 in Europe, military ambulance dogs were used to search for wounded soldiers as well as missing persons during peace time.
Based on the work performed by these early pioneers, people in the United States developed the Red Cross dog, also known as the casualty dog, for use during the Second World War. Today, much of the SAR dog training performed in the United States is based on the methods used to train military dogs.
It wasn't until the late 1960s and early 1970s that SAR dogs came into non-military use in the United States. In the early years, dogs were used primarily for finding lost people in wilderness areas. This is still their primary use today. Only after the Mexico City disaster, the earthquakes in California, and the Oklahoma City bombing was it generally recognized that the SAR dog has a real value in urban situations.
Because of these factors, the evolution of SAR dogs in the United States has been slower than that of their cousins in Europe. But that is now changing, and it is changing rapidly.

Several at a hearing in Somerset County say the $1 billion project would save electricity customers money, boost the tax base of surrounding towns and provide jobs.
SKOWHEGAN — Central Maine Power Co. rolled out some high profile help Wednesday before Somerset County commissioners, who heard from supporters of the company's proposed 145-mile-long power line through Maine that would connect hydropower from Quebec to Massachusetts.
From Peter Vigue, president of Cianbro Corp., to outdoor recreation business owners and a local selectman who read a letter from Maine Turnpike Authority Executive Director Peter Mills, more than a dozen people spoke in favor of the New England Clean Energy Connect.
The project would provide clean air, jobs, property tax benefits and a stable, reliable supply of electrical power for Maine and New England without reliance on natural gas, oil or wind power, they said.
CMP says the $1 billion project would reduce what Maine ratepayers pay for electricity by $40 million a year for the next 20 years. They claim the project would bring cleaner air, with Maine's carbon emissions reduced by nearly 265,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of removing 57,000 cars from Maine roads.
CMP also claims that the project would bring 1,700 construction jobs to northern Maine for the next four years, with a peak of 3,500 jobs during construction.
The transmission line would provide 1,200 megawatts to power roughly 1 million homes in Massachusetts. While its $950 million budget would be funded by Massachusetts electricity customers, the 145-mile-long infrastructure – plus updates to an existing 50-mile line – would run through 38 communities in Somerset, Franklin and Androscoggin counties.
Project opponents, a 4,000-member group called Say No to NECEC, describe the line "as wide as the New Jersey Turnpike," crossing under the Kennebec River Gorge, across the Appalachian Trail, 263 wetlands, 115 streams, 12 inland waterfowl and wading bird habitat areas, as well as brook trout streams and deer wintering yards.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine opposes the project, noting that the transmission line would not reduce carbon pollution and therefore would have no benefit for climate change. Instead, the line would redirect existing generation and enable Hydro-Québec to profit from "green-washing" dirty, fossil-fuel power.
Paul Frederic, a Starks selectman whose family has worked the land there since 1795, read a letter of support for the project from Peter Mills, brother of Gov.-elect Janet Mills. Frederic said Somerset County is one of the poorest in Maine and towns along the corridor would benefit from the added tax base.
He said the broadband internet access that would come with the transmission lines also would be a boost to children who can not even do their homework now because of bad internet connections.
Newell Graf, of Skowhegan, the commission chairman, said the board already had heard from opponents of the project, so they were not invited to speak Wednesday during the regular session. Some opponents did speak at the end of the meeting, however.

Recently, we had cause to specify a form of mediation clause for a public sector contract. Here is a revised version of what we agreed. What do readers think?
22.1.1 The parties must attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute, difference or question between them arising out of or in connection with the Contract.
22.1.2 If a dispute, difference or question between the parties, arising out of or in connection with the Contract, cannot be resolved by direct negotiation between them, the parties agree to endeavour to resolve the matter by mediation in accordance with the following conditions.
22.1.3 To initiate the mediation either party shall give notice in writing to the other party requesting mediation. The mediator shall be selected by agreement between the parties, failing which agreement, within 15 days of one party or both parties requesting the appointment of a mediator, by the director of the Scottish Mediation Network after consultation with the parties. The mediation shall commence no later than 42 days after the selection of the mediator.
22.1.4 If there is any issue about the conduct of the mediation upon which the parties cannot agree, then the mediator selected in accordance with condition 22.1.3 shall, at the request of either party, decide that issue after consultation with the parties.
22.1.5 Unless they agree otherwise, the parties shall share equally the fees, costs and expenses relating to the mediation and each party shall pay its own expenses of preparation for, and participation and representation in, the mediation.
22.1.6 If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, difference or question within 28 days of the mediation commencing, and only if the parties and the mediator agrees, the mediator may produce for the parties a non-binding recommendation of terms of settlement. This will not attempt to anticipate what a Court might order but will set out what the mediator suggests are appropriate settlement terms in all the circumstances.
22.1.7 Any settlement agreement reached in the mediation shall not be legally binding until it has been reduced to writing and signed by, or behalf of, both parties. The mediator may assist the parties in recording the outcome of the mediation.
22.1.8 Either party may terminate the mediation at any time. In any event, the mediation shall terminate when:
(a) a party withdraws from the mediation
(b) the parties resolve the dispute, difference or question
(c) a written agreement is concluded; or
(d) the mediator decides that continuing the mediation is unlikely to result in a settlement.
22.1.9 Only in the event that mediation does not resolve the dispute, difference or question, condition 22.2 will apply.
22.2.1 Any dispute or difference arising out of or in connection with the Contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination which cannot be resolved in good faith, shall be determined by the appointment of a single arbitrator to be agreed between the parties, and failing agreement within 14 days after either party has given to the other a written request to concur in the appointment of an arbitrator, by an arbitrator to be appointed by the Scottish Arbitration Centre on the written application of either party. The seat of the arbitration shall be in Scotland. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.
22.2.2 Any arbitration under 22.2 is subject to the Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010."

Three Ivy League schools have pulled out of E-du, an education consortium, offering undergraduate students the opportunity to take online courses for university credit after professors and alumni complained that the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree.
As last clause is in simple past tense("after professors and alumni complained"). "would" will be correct .
Option A,B & C left.
In option B"and" is incorrect and in second clause present perfect tense is used.
In option A "after" should be preceded by a comma.
2. I saw the objection (from the alumni and professors) as hypothetical, and with the hypothetical tense you use "would" and "were' , in this case would.
Three Ivy League schools have pulled out of E-du, an education consortium offering undergraduate students the opportunity to take online courses for university credit, after professors and alumni complained that the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree.
The underlined part is an appositive. It renames and describes E-du. Notice that if you remove it, the sentence is still correct.
Three Ivy League schools have pulled out of E-du after professors and alumni complained that the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree.
Is there any difference b/w pulled-out of and pulled out from.
Also, why is usage of "will" incorrect in D and E.???
I was torn between (C) and (E). The difference between the two is "offering" and "that offers." Can anyone explain why answer (C) is better than answer (E) in this regard?
The meaning in sentence A is not logically sound.It is not likely that Ivy League Schools, after pulling out from E-du, start offering on-line courses, as "Offering" seems to convey, otherwise why did they pull out of it??
Also B has the same meaning issue: Ivy League won't start to offer opportunity to take online courses as "will" seems to suggest, otherwise there is no reason to pull out of E-du.
So after the split only C,D,E remain.
I have seen both being used though 'of' is usually used in formal language.
This is a hypothetical situation "the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree". We cannot say whether it will happen. It's hypothetical. If students are provided online courses, it would cheapen the prestige of a degree, hence three schools have pulled out.
applying e-gmat concepts, it is possible to easily identify the logical errors in this sentence.
-> they complained that the program would cheapen the prestige of a degree.
Everything is clear except will/would thing.
Why "will" should not be used.
Now they are complaining something, so "will" could be suitable.
We should always ensure that intended meaning of question stem is not lost. Question stem shows uncertainty by using the word would that it may or may not reduce.Option which shows similar kind of uncertainty will be the right choice.

Q: How to stop numpy from iterating over custom Mapping objects? The Question
Hi. Please consider this code
import numpy as np

class MappingFoo:
    bar = {"a": 1}

    __len__ = bar.__len__
    __iter__ = bar.__iter__
    __getitem__ = bar.__getitem__

foo = MappingFoo()

print(np.array([foo.bar]))  # [{'a': 1}] (np array with dtype object)

print(np.array([foo]))  # [['a']] (np array with dtype str)

Note: MappingFoo implements exactly all 3 magic methods required to inherit from and become a collections.abc.Mapping.
Here are my observations:

*

*numpy treats MappingFoo like a list/iterable.

*If you remove any of the 3 magic methods of MappingFoo, np.array([foo]) will also return an object array just like the first np.array(...) call.

*It makes no difference whether MappingFoo inherits from collections.abc.Mapping or not.

Here are my questions:

*

*How does numpy decide which objects should be expanded/iterated over when creating an array with numpy.array(...)?

*How do I stop if from iterating over my MappingFoo objects and make it store them as objects in the array instead? Remark: In my real example, I don't know the types of the input in advance. Hence, I want to use np.array(...) for array creation instead of relying on np.empty(...) and then filling it in a loop or other workarounds that require an explicit dtype.

A Piece of Code to Illustrate Question 2
As the saying goes: a piece of code is worth a thousand words. So here is re-phrasing question 2 with code.
from random import (
    randint,
    random,
)

def generate_input():
    """Generate a non-deterministic list as input for np.array.

    Generate a list or list of lists or 3-times nested list with either
        * only integers
        * a mixture of integers and MappingFoo objects
        * only MappingFoo objects
    """
    def generator(shape_, foo_it_all):
        if len(shape_) == 1:
            return [randint(0, 255)
                    if not foo_it_all and random() < .99
                    else MappingFoo()
                    for _ in range(shape_[0])]
        else:
            return [generator(shape_[1:], foo_it_all)
                    for _ in range(shape_[0])]

    dim = randint(1, 3)
    shape = tuple(randint(1, 10) for _ in range(dim))
    return shape, generator(shape, random() > .5)

shape, input_ = generate_input()
array = np.array(input_)
print(array)
print(array.dtype)
print(shape)
assert array.shape == shape

How do I make the assertion pass each time without changing generate_input or making use of shape? Changing MappingFoo would be ok (of course not removing functionality). Lastly, array should have the minimum dtype required to hold the objects in the sequence.

A: Missing import that almost made me quit:
In [31]: from random import random, randint

The thousand words code is only as good as the willingness of the users to run it.  Even so it's a good idea to give some sample outputs, not just the code.
For example the first time I tried this I got a (7, 2, 3) shape.  It wasn't obvious why.
Next time a simple shape:
In [32]: shape,x = generate_input()
In [33]: shape
Out[33]: (1,)
In [34]: x
Out[34]: [169]
In [35]: np.array(x)
Out[35]: array([169])

Again:
In [36]: shape,x = generate_input()
In [37]: shape
Out[37]: (4, 9)
In [38]: x
Out[38]:
[[<__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e123d81f0>,
  <__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e238906a0>,
  <__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e23890e50>,
  <__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e23890ac0>,
  ...
  <__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e123e67f0>,
  <__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e123e6970>,
  <__main__.MappingFoo at 0x7f8e123e6100>]]

In [39]: np.array(x).shape
Out[39]: (4, 9, 1)    # and a dtype='<U1'

Using the empty/fill:
In [40]: res = np.empty(shape,object)
In [41]: res[:]=x
In [42]: res
Out[42]:
array([[<__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e123d81f0>,
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e238906a0>,
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e23890e50>,
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e23890ac0>,
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e23890700>,
         ....
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e123e67f0>,
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e123e6970>,
        <__main__.MappingFoo object at 0x7f8e123e6100>]], dtype=object)

Since the res.shape matches the x list nesting, there's no need to iteration.  res[:]=x is enough.  Sometimes assignment like this can raise broadcasting errors, but that's not the case here.
Like I commented, empty/fill is the only sure way of creating an object dtype array with a chosen shape.  np.array is trying too hard to do its-own-thing.

'Onward': Pixar Finds Magic In A Tale Of Brotherly Love
Grab your Kleenex, with "Onward," there won't be a dry eye in the house. Disney and Pixar's latest animated film is a creative way to tell a modern story from a fantasy aspect – plus it packs an emotional punch. The movie tugs at your heartstrings in a way that's a bit different than Pixar films of the past. When two elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt respectively), set out on a magical quest, attempting to bring their father back from the dead for the day, some endearing moments arise, along with some fun magical antics. There's humor, heart, and even trash unicorns for your enjoyment.
Ahead of the March 6 release in theaters, Chris Pratt (Barley Lightfoot), Tom Holland (Ian Lightfoot), Dan Scanlon (director), and Kori Rae (producer) convened in Los Angeles at SLS Hotel for the global press junket conference. Yahoo Entertainment senior correspondent Kevin Polowy moderated the special Valentine's Day panel.
For director Dan Scanlon, "Onward" is a deeply personal story. Much like the characters in the movie, Scanlon lost his father at a young age. "My father passed away when I was about a year old, and my brother was three," he shared with the room. "As you could imagine, we don't remember him at all, but we always wondered who he was and how we were like him." That became the foundation for the movie. It started from a question that anybody who has lost somebody has pondered. What if we could have just one day?
Scanlon began writing "Onward" about six years ago. He eventually re-teamed with producer Kori Rae, whom he worked with on 2013's "Monsters University." Together, they assembled on all-star cast that included not only the voices of Pratt and Holland, but also Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Laurel Lightfoot), Octavia Spencer (Manticore), Lena Waithe (Officer Spector), Ali Wong (Officer Gore), Tracey Ullman (Grecklin), and John Ratzenberger (Construction Worker Felix).
"What we found is how invested everybody got in the film," Rae said during the press conference. "I think because it was based on this personal story that was pretty emotional, everybody was really into it, and into the role that they had." Rae went on to praise Pratt and Holland, who were both sitting beside her and Scanlon on stage. "We are forever grateful for how much they invested themselves into the roles and how they really, really took the characters and elevated them and made them so much more complex and real."
Disney/Pixar 'Onward'
While discussing how they related to their animated elf counterparts, Holland pointed out how he and Pratt swapped their real-life sibling placement with their characters. Holland is the eldest in his family, while Pratt is the youngest. "Now I'm playing the younger brother, and he's playing the older brother, so it was really nice for us to kind of make that switch," Holland said. "Because Chris and I are obviously so close already before we even came onto this film, it was almost just like we were playing ourselves. But the similarities between Ian and myself, go back to more when I was sort of in my early teens – 12, 13. I was a little bit of an introvert, I was a very nervous kid, and I had a hard time in school. It wasn't until I went on this adventure that was 'Billy Elliot' where I sort of came out of my shell, and I became more confident in myself, and I believed in myself. What drew me so much to this character is that we get to see that entire journey that I went on as a kid, in him, throughout this film."
After Pratt then lightened the mood in the room with some playful banter, he lauded Scanlon for his vision and a particular note he had given him about his character. "It was a note that Dan gave me that was actually against my own instinct… which was, Barley was never jealous of the fact that he didn't have the magic gift. To me, I didn't realize until seeing the movie, was something very similar to my own relationship with my brother, in which I was the Ian. I was the younger brother…That's what makes this brotherhood and this relationship so special… It celebrates a love between two brothers and that brotherhood, and that oftentimes is not something you see in movies."
While Scanlon and Rae are Pixar pros, "Onward" marks Holland's and Pratt's first venture into Pixar territory. "I think for every young actor, you set yourself goals, and I have mine that I've set out since I was a kid. They're still the same today, and one of them was being in a Pixar movie," Holland said. He was honored that they came to him to pitch him the role – it was a first for the young British actor. "We were welcomed into this wonderful [Pixar] family with such open arms, and it such was an amazing process."
"Onward" is Pixar's entry into the fantastical realm. It's a modern story, which is personal, original, and creative. Scanlon and Rae could have tapped into the fantasy genre in a different way, but centering a story, based in suburbia, about two brothers bringing their father back to life, romanticizes the magical element in a way that is bound to enchant audiences all over the world.
Not only is there natural humor in the story, but as Scanlon pointed out, people can relate to the character of Ian in a lot of respects. "The world of this movie is people who have, out of just becoming kind of complacent and even fearful of taking risks, they've lost their potential. Ian is a kid who's never lived up to his because he's insecure and fearful. So, it's always nice when the world and characters can kind of mirror. That, and we just wanted to show dirty unicorns," Scanlon concluded, earning a laugh from the crowd.
Disney and Pixar's "Onward" premieres in theaters on March 6, 2020.

Japan Retailers Gain as Sales Data Hint at Post-Outbreak Rebound
Gearoid Reidy
Jun 23 2020, 2:02 PM Jun 24 2020, 7:57 AM June 23 2020, 2:02 PM June 24 2020, 7:57 AM
(Bloomberg) -- Shares in a range of Japanese retailers gained following a surge in sales at furniture depot Nitori Holdings Co. and casual fashion retailer Shimamura Co., an early indication of pent-up demand from local shoppers as the threat of the coronavirus subsided.
Nitori same-store sales jumped 47% in June from the previous year, the most on record in data going back to 2012, while Shimamura saw a 27% increase.
The two companies are early reporters of retail data in Japan, with the figures released Tuesday covering the period from May 21 to June 20. Japan's coronavirus state of emergency was lifted in stages from May 14, before being fully ended on May 25.
Shimamura shares rose as much as 7.3% in Tokyo on Wednesday, while Nitori added as much as 2.5%. The moves were echoed in other retailers which are set to report monthly data early in July, including United Arrows Ltd., which added 5.3%, and owner of the Muji brand Ryohin Keikaku Co., which climbed as much as 4.7%. Uniqlo operator Fast Retailing Co. advanced 2%.
Choose Muji Ahead of Uniqlo in Post-Covid World, Jefferies Says
Revenues at department stores, more dependent on tourist spending, fell 27% compared with the year earlier between June 1 and 17, Kyodo reported, citing the Japan Department Stores Association. Should that pace hold, it would still represent a recovery from May, when sales dropped 66% nationwide according to data released Tuesday. Sales plunged 73% in April.
Nitori cited continued demand for home office furniture and storage goods, noting that 4.8 percentage points of the increase could be attributed to the fact that the period had one more Saturday compared with 2019.
The Sapporo-based firm had already seen relatively little impact on its revenue during the state of emergency, with sales jumping in March and falling just 4% in April. Its shares rose about 18% this year versus an 8% loss for the broader Topix. At Shimamura, by contrast, turnover fell every month in 2020, including a 28% drop in April. Its stock fell 3% year to date.
Japanese consumers have taken to remote work in a way that few had predicted, with Nitori in particular standing to benefit from an increased level of spending as workers spruce up their living environments at home. A Jiji survey found that 70% want to continue working from home even after the pandemic is contained, while a Cabinet Office poll showed increased levels of interest from 25% of city dwellers in moving to the country.
Shimamura also said it saw continued "stay-home" demand for relaxing interior clothing and summer goods, with June customer numbers up 16% from the year earlier. On Monday, infant goods retailer Nishimatsuya Chain Co., which had seen gains every month throughout the emergency, reported a 34% jump in sales.
Japan releases overall retail sales data for May on June 29. The print for April showed a 14% drop compared to the previous year, the second-largest decline in a single month since 1989.

New Aston Martin Vantage Spotted Testing. James Bond Would Approve
It's easy to tell it's a near carbon copy of the car used in Spectre.
By Bryan Campbell
Update: Read our review of the 2019 Aston Martin Vantage here.
If you liked the way the James Bond's Aston Martin DB10 looked in Spectre, you're in luck. Shots of the new Vantage prototype testing on British roads have surfaced and even with a wild, day-glow vinyl wrap, it's easy to tell it's a near carbon copy of the car used in the film.
Outside of what it looks like very little has been confirmed on the new Vantage in the way of performance specs. It's been known for some time that Aston Martin has worked out a deal with Mercedes-Benz to start using the German manufacturer's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and Vantage prototypes have been spotted testing at the Nürburgring since last year, barking out that unmistakable V8 grumble.
It's the same V8 in the upcoming DB11 and current AMG GT, which pumps out 503 hp, but sees 577 hp in the AMG GT R, so it's safe to say that's the window the Vantage will be working in. And, as reported by Road and Track late last year, Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer said, "With every generation, my goal is that there is at least a manual option car in the range. That translates not just to this generation of the car, but also to the next generation of the car, then the generation thereafter." So that's definitely something look forward to.
All of this, of course, won't be confirmed until later this year when the new Vantage makes its full debut. The Frankfurt Auto Show would be the best guess — stay tuned.

Q: Port multiplexer sslh: why is it so resource-intensive? I've just discovered the existence of sslh.
I tried to install it on my 512MB RAM VPS running Debian 7 wheezy. After having configured sslh, I tried to connect to one of my apache2 virtual hosts, and immediately the cpu usage went up to 50-60%, even ssh-ing the VPS was almost impossible due to the lack of resources.

*

*Is this normal?

*Is there any valid alternative?

The problem I was trying to solve using sslh is that many free wifi hotspots block almost every port, except 80 and 443, and I often need to use OpenVPN to connect to my home server, which is natted by my ISP.
Do you have any other solution to suggest?

A: From a casual review of the source, it appears the author(s) were overzealous in their use of set_nonblock in sslh-select.c.
If you flag every socket (as it does) as non-blocking, the the loop
while(1) {
    select(… a bunch of non-blocking sockets …);
}

at around line 230 in the linked file becomes a busy-wait. That is, even if there is no data available to read on any socket, select returns instantly and then gets called again immediately. This is rather processor intensive.
The author came close to getting it right, with some conditional use of the timeout argument to select but that has no effect if all are set to non-blocking anyway.
I didn't profile sslh which is he best way to confirm this is the real cause.

A: So this issue is now followed here: https://github.com/yrutschle/sslh/issues/24
msw's answer might be exhaustive, but is also wrong: select() will block regardless of the socket's O_NONBLOCK status, that's basically what it's there for, and in fact code that uses blocking sockets when using select() is wrong. From Linux' select(2): "Under Linux, select() may report a socket file  descriptor  as  "ready for reading", while nevertheless a subsequent read blocks".
In other words, not setting O_NONBLOCK while using select() may result in complete blockage of the program.
So, while something might be wrong, this is not it.

In Feb. 2013, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled the sale of medical marijuana cannot be conducted in a business setting, despite the fact that it's permitted under state law.
The ruling found that "defendants are not entitled to operate a business that facilitates patient-to-patient sales of marijuana."
The case involved a Mount Pleasant dispensary, Compassionate Apothecary, which the court ruled was not protected under the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, and therefore could be shut down as a public nuisance for violating Michigan's public health code.
About 100 marijuana dispensaries opened in the state following passage of the law in 2008; the ruling left their future uncertain. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette indicated he would send a letter to Michigan's 83 county prosecutors, instructing them to file similar nuisance complaints against medical marijuana dispensaries operating in their jurisdiction. The ruling had some Michigan lawmakers returning to the drawing board, with promises of legislation to legalize dispensary operation.
Meanwhile, a number of medical marijuana dispensaries were forced to close their doors after receiving cease and desist letters from the Jackson County prosecutor, where 18 dispensaries had been identified.
In each of the states where medical marijuana has been legalized, it's incumbent upon patients and business owners to assert their legal rights. Our Los Angeles dispensary attorneys encourage all dispensaries and collectives to have an experienced law firm as a critical member of the management team.
Medical marijuana has been legalized by a vote of the people in Michigan (and by a sizeable margin). However, lawmakers are slow to react – even those elected officials who are charged with carrying out the will of the electorate. Even in areas where local law enforcement abides by state law, federal enforcement action remains a threat. Despite the fact that the Obama Administration took office indicating enforcement of federal marijuana laws would not be a priority in states where medical marijuana is legal, a significant number of raids and prosecutions continue to occur. The U.S. Attorneys Office and the Internal Revenue Service remain particularly active and the federal government continues to pressure banks and landlords, which can make it difficult for legitimate marijuana businesses to continue to operate.
