Switzerland has maintained friendly relations with the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) since it gained independence in 1960. Switzerland has made a significant contribution to the development of the food sector and state infrastructure, and is a major investor and provider of humanitarian aid.
Diplomatic relations focus on trade, cooperation in research, and humanitarian aid.
Switzerland and the Ivory Coast have concluded a number of bilateral agreements since 1962. They relate to trade, investment protection and double taxation, aviation, technical and scientific cooperation
Bilaterale Treaties
Despite political and military crisis since the 2000s and the resulting noticeable drop in trade, economic relations with the Ivory Coast are intensive. Switzerland chiefly exports chemical products and machinery. In 2011, export volumes amounted to CHF 36.3 million. In the same year, goods worth CHF 90.5 million were imported, primarily fuel and agricultural produce.
After France and the UK, Switzerland is the third largest foreign investor in the country; around 35 Swiss companies are active in the Ivory Coast in the food, chemicals, cement and infrastructure sectors.
The "Chambre de Commerce Suisse en Côte d'Ivoire" was founded in 2010.
Trade promotion (Switzerland Global Enterprise)
Cooperation in the domain of education
The "Centre Suisse de Recherche Scientifique" (CSRS) tropical research institute in Abidjan is an important research and educational institution. The CSRS celebrated its 60th birthday in 2011.
Scholars and artists from the Ivory Coast can apply to the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) for Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships.

Peacebuilding and human security
In recent years Switzerland has supported several projects relating to the national peace and reconciliation process in the Ivory Coast. It placed experts at the disposal of the United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (ONUCI) to help establish and support the country's police force.
Development co-operation and humanitarian aid
Switzerland has been providing aid in the western part of the country, following the 2011 crisis and the civil war.
Under a 1994 bilateral debt agreement, as part of the celebrations marking the 700th anniversary of the Confederation, Switzerland wrote off some CHF 360 million – one of its largest bilateral debt cancellations ever. At the same time CHF 51 million flowed into concrete development projects in the country via a counterpart fund. The programme was completed in 2008.
Swiss nationals in the Ivory Coast
The number of Swiss nationals resident in the country rose to over 500 in the 1970s, including many businesspeople, hoteliers, international civil servants and missionaries. In 2015, 265 Swiss nationals lived in the Ivory Coast.
There are intensive cultural exchanges on a private basis.
Switzerland recognised the independence of the Ivory Coast on 7 August 1960. It established an embassy in Abidjan the following year, replacing the vice-consulate that had opened in 1952. Since 1962, the country's political stability and the growing economic opportunities led to the conclusion of several bilateral agreements on trade, investment protection and technical cooperation.
Between 1984 and 1990 five bilateral agreements on restructuring the country's debts were signed (CHF 360 million). In 1991 Switzerland provided the Ivory Coast with a mixed loan of CHF 34 million to renew five hydroelectric power plants.

From an old, old issue of Chocolatier Magazine (sadly, no longer published), this recipe is from Rosie's Bakery in Boston. At the time of printing, the bakery sold 5,000 fresh brownies a week - amazing! We receive raves when we serve them. Be forewarned - the brownies are rich and decadent. These fudgy brownies should be made a day ahead to ensure proper texture and flavor. Frost the next day and serve.
Make the brownies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square pan.
In a double boiler, melt the chocolate with the butter over barely simmering water. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the chocolate mixture and sugar for 1 - 2 minutes, until completely combined. Add the vanilla and the lightly beaten eggs and mix only until combined. Add the flour and beat just until the mixture is totally blended and has a shiny, velvety look, 1 minute or less.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until a very thin crust forms on the top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or with a moist crumb. Do not overbake. Cool in the pan on a rack to room temperature. Cover when cool and set aside overnight.
Frost the brownies with a thin layer of icing. To serve, cut into 2-inch squares and top each with a pecan half, if desired.


Home » Forums » ARCHIVE » ARCHIVE - Game Creation » Game Publication » Which is smartest?
Hi. Lets for arguments sake say that I have a really great gamewhich could be ready in 3-4 months. Lets also say a major company has the same type of game lined up, but its gone into development hell. Which would be smartest of me?
a) Release it before the major company to try grab sales from people tired of waiting, but risk the major company taking my ideas and maybe refining them based on the feedback I get from my game.
b) Instead I wait - see how the other game does and what critiques people have. Then fix those things in my game?
I suspect this depends somewhat on how similar the games are. If they're simply about the same subject, then it may not matter much either way. If there are overt gameplay similarities as well, then being first to market may be prudent.
The conventional wisdom is that no one is going to steal your ideas. This generally applied to pre-published designs, but I think it must apply even moreso to games that are on the market, or at least, if your game is already on the market, your sales shouldn't be hurt by someone borrowing from you. One example is the game Citadels, which directly lifted a mechanic from the game Verrater, and by broadcasting this loudly, probably resulted in a lot of sales for Verrater as well. And if your game makes a big enough splash for the big company to even notice it and want to borrow from it, that probably means your game is selling well.
The one cautionary note is that you shouldn't rush your game to publication just for sales reasons unless it's really and truly done. If you don't playtest thoroughly enough and end up with some flaws in the game, your game will instantly be declared broken and sales will grind to a halt. So, by all means try to get your game out if you can but don't do it at the expense of thorough playtesting.
Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate it. While I'm not worried about stolen ideas (I mean all games have ideas inspired by others)... Its more if people after trying my game say "i wish it had this and this" it would be very good info for the other game to try embrace those ideas.
I think it would be best to be out first. However if I start marketing the game, and announce it and its features - maybe a few good ideas could get snagged and redeveloped. Especialy if I offer the rules for download far in advance.
Hmmm.. what I really need now is some solid advice on how to procede with having the game manufactured.
Its more if people after trying my game say "i wish it had this and this" it would be very good info for the other game to try embrace those ideas.
Ideally, you should be playtesting your game with a broad and varied enough audience that you get that kind of feedback before the game is shipped to stores. It's probably impossible to iron out every wrinkle in advance, but you should certainly try, and at least convince yourself that you've gotten as much feedback as was realistic.
Again, I really don't think this kind of thing happens. You can't not market your game for fear that your ideas will be stolen!
Regarding testing - well its been tested to no end and with very good feedback. But I'm working on a revision of a few things, that need testing again. I hope to do this soon.
Things REALLY depend on how unique your idea is.
I really wouldn't put it out until it is truly done regardless. I watch games of a similar theme like a hawk. I play them. I make sure that my game is still different. I know that I do not have the money to market it myself, so I am at the mercy of game companies.
No Reward for the playtester (outside of a credit).
Run by someone other than you and you are nowhere around.
That way, you get truly unbiased opinion. Heck, sealing the reviews/remarks in envelopes unsigned isn't a bad idea either.
Sounds like you are ready, so good luck in the search for manufacturers... stay with experienced game manufacturers, or you risk roll the dice.
My idea is not unique, just overall a good idea of how to make the type of game I have made. I guess I'm just being overprotective.

Mary Queen of Scot's former castle is on sale for $3.3 million
While everyone seems to be adapted to self-isolating and staying home during coronavirus, a seldom few have hit the property market and are in the mood to move.
And honestly, when there's an opportunity to move into a castle, quite literally renovated for royalty, who can blame them?
A historic castle that housed Mary Queen of Scots on her famous last night of freedom is on sale for a humble 1.7 million pounds ($3.3m AUD)
The property spans two acres and is ten minutes from Scotland's capital city. (Savills)
Located on the East Lothian coast, a scenic drive from Scottish capital city Edinburgh, the luxurious castle is adorned with dramatic, panoramic views of the countryside and completed with its own great hall — for all your socially distanced, limited mass gathering needs.
Equipped with sweeping stairs (and a lift for added convenience), roof-top and even a dungeon, the castle boasts five centuries worth of history woven into its interior design.
Like any lavish property, the facade is also decorated with the infamous stories of its previous owners.
The castle was renovated in the 80s. (Savills)
Mary Queen of Scots, who spent her final night of freedom there before riding to the Battle of Carbury in the 16th century, was rumoured to have changed out of her usual gowns and jewels for a short skirt before the journey, hiding her priceless items in a chest within the castle.
While Mary was imprisoned and eventually escaped to live in France for the next two decades in exile, due to social distancing measures, we can only assume the new owners of the castle will be encouraged to stay a lot longer.
Describing the castle as "easily commutable to Edinburgh city centre" according to its website listing, "The castle lies in a very private rural location amidst rolling farmland."
One of the six grand bedrooms including in the castle. (Savills)
Jamie Macnab, the castle's property agent described the great hall:
"This magnificent old room has an original stone built fireplace with a log burning stove. Beside the window there are stone window seats built into the thick castle walls," he said.
The castle is more affordable than most mansions in Sydney. (Savills)
The Fa'side castle was restored in the 1980s, and features barrel-vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, and the great hall's painted ceiling.
In addition to a castle, the new property owner can expect to own a sprawling two-acres of gardens, a courtyard and two additional two-bedroom 17th century cottages.
Including six grand bedrooms, three bathrooms and five living rooms across a four-storey building, while the price tag is hefty, it's arguably more bang for your buck than the majority of properties in Sydney.

Industrial Placements Improve Employability
The majority of final year Engineering students at University of Ulster will secure employment in their chosen area when they graduate next summer, according to Ron Laird, Industrial Placement Coordinator with the School of Engineering.
All undergraduate courses in the School of Engineering offer students a period of industrial placement during year three of their degree programme. Increasingly students are finding that a successful industrial placement will greatly enhance their long-term career prospects.
Ron says: "Despite the challenging economic climate, the majority of our students returning to university after their industrial placement have either a definite job offer on graduation, sponsorship in their final year or an indication of interest in employment on graduation by their placement provider.
"Sixty two per cent of final year engineering students have returned from their industrial placement with an indication of interest in graduate employment with their placement company."
He says this could be attributed to a number of factors. "The School of Engineering has established an excellent network of contacts with leading local companies in Northern Ireland, multi-national companies operating in Northern Ireland as well as companies in the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain and overseas who are keen to take placement students.
"All the placements are managed through OPUS (Online Placement University System) - a professionally developed web-based system to search for placements and manage all aspects for students, companies and staff. OPUS, which was designed and developed in the School of Engineering, has proved so successful that other universities in Great Britain and overseas are considering it as a means to manage their placements."
The industrial placement offered as an integral part of the degree programme in the School of Engineering is a 'win win' situation.
"Because of Ulster's well deserved reputation as an educator of genuine applied engineers, employers know our students will be able to make a valuable contribution to their business so they are keen to recruit them for placement and graduate employment opportunities.
"From a student's perspective, a successful placement will greatly enhance career prospects after graduation, as many companies would prefer a graduate who has had the benefit of industrial experience.
"Many engineering students earn a good salary during their placement year and a successful industrial placement can lead to well paid employment opportunities after graduation. Some students may also get an opportunity to work abroad during their placement year."
Lee Falls from Cookstown, who graduated with a 2:1 degree in Engineering Management from Ulster last year, is one of many Engineering graduates from Jordanstown to secure a full time well paid position after graduation. He is now employed as Engineering Manager with County Tyrone company, Nugent Engineering. The family run business, which was established in 1984 currently employs around 50 people and is a leading manufacturer of agricultural farm machinery.
Lee completed his industrial placement with Nugent and when he returned to Jordanstown for his final year, he maintained his links with the company by working part-time.
Lee has no hesitation about recommending an industrial placement. "I did my final exam last May and took over as Engineering Manager the next day. The placement created a lot of opportunities for me and I would certainly recommend it."
Ms Ailsa McNeill, Head of Human Resources at Schrader Electronics Ltd., agrees that the relationship with the University of Ulster is mutually beneficial. The electronics company, which designs and manufactures remote tyre pressure monitoring systems, employs around 800 people in its Antrim and Carrick sites and is part of the automotive and industrial division of Tomkins.
She says that the company has over the past twenty years continually developed its industrial placement programme to ensure that both students and the company get the most out of the experience.
"Placement students are given a specific role and they contribute the business from day one. Our students are given all the necessary support and mentoring required to help them perform to the best of their ability.
"Schrader is an interesting and dynamic place to work – with over 200 engineers working in Research and Development and Manufacturing, students get a fantastic opportunity to see new products being developed from concept through to manufacture and depending on their role, students can be involved in conducing product tests on customer cars or travelling to overseas locations to support our customer needs. When they return to university, students have access to financial support as well as our people and equipment to help them complete their final year projects."
She adds: "We get excellent feedback from our students and the fact that we currently have several graduates on our Graduate Development Programme and students on industrial placement bears testimony to the excellent working relationship we have with the University of Ulster."

Within the District, a new capital city named after George Washington was founded in 1791 to the east of a preexisting settlement at Georgetown. The City of Washington, Georgetown, and other outlying areas were consolidated under a single government in 1871, which formed Washington, D.C. as it exists today. The city shares its name with the U.S. state of Washington located on the country's Pacific coast.
Washington, D.C. is located on the north bank of the Potomac River and is bordered by the states of Virginia to the southwest and Maryland to the other sides. The city has a resident population of 601,723; because of commuters from the surrounding suburbs, its population rises to over one million during the workweek. The Washington Metropolitan Area, of which the District is a part, has a population of nearly 5.6 million, the seventh-largest metropolitan area in the country.
The centers of all three branches of the U.S. federal government are located in the District, as are many of the nation's monuments and museums. Washington, D.C. hosts 176 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization of American States (OAS), the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The headquarters of other institutions such as trade unions, lobbying groups, and professional associations are also located in the city.
The District is governed by a mayor and a 13-member city council. However, the United States Congress has supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. Residents therefore have less self-governance than residents of the states. The District has a non-voting, at-large Congressional delegate, but no senators. D.C. residents could not vote in presidential elections until the ratification of the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1961.
Washington, D.C. is divided into four quadrants.
Virtually all of D.C.'s tourists flock to the Mall—a two-mile long, beautiful stretch of parkland that holds many of the city's monuments and Smithsonian museums—but the city itself is a vibrant metropolis that often has little to do with monuments, politics, or white, neoclassical buildings. The Smithsonian is a "can't miss," but don't trick yourself—you haven't really been to D.C.until you've been out and about the city.

Supervalu wins big with super-automation
David Maloney
If any industry lives by the proverb "A penny saved is a penny earned," it's the grocery business. Grocers operate on notoriously thin margins. Focusing on keeping costs low and operations swift and efficient is deeply embedded in their business makeup.
Supervalu is a case in point. One of the nation's largest grocery retailers and wholesalers, it operates such well-known stores as Albertsons, Jewell-Osco, Acme, and Save-a-Lot. The company traces its roots to a grocery wholesale business founded in Minneapolis some 130 years ago. It has been growing steadily ever since.
With its acquisition of the Albertsons chain in 2006, Supervalu gained a number of distribution centers, including a dry goods facility in Lancaster, Pa., that served Acme supermarkets in the Mid-Atlantic states. As part of its effort to integrate Albertsons into its overall supply chain, the company folded operations from an existing Supervalu facility in nearby Harrisburg into the Lancaster building.
While that consolidation reduced costs and overhead, it did not allow room for growth. "We needed to consolidate, but it was a tight. However, the utilization of the building was not what it should have been," recalls Beth Kroutch, general manager of the Lancaster DC.
The company chose to keep this facility rather than relocate because its proximity to major interstate highways provides efficient access to stores in key Mid-Atlantic markets. But it needed to make the building more efficient to serve the stores, as well as gain additional space to grow the business. It also sought to improve order filling accuracy, inventory accuracy, and product handling—and to do all of this with significant labor savings.
Company managers determined that automation was the key to attaining these goals. Supervalu had already completed a highly successful automation project with Witron Integrated Logistics at a facility near company headquarters in Hopkins, Minn. This system, installed in the Hopkins facility in 2006, features Witron's OPM (order picking machinery), a highly automated system for picking and palletizing cartons. The success of the Minnesota operation convinced Supervalu management that Witron's design and integration services, along with its OPM, would be an ideal fit for Lancaster as well.
"We have a great partner with Witron," says Jeff Fritz, senior director of operations in Lancaster. "They have logistics knowledge, not just systems knowledge."
Installation of the system began in the fall of 2008, and the automation went live in early 2009. The OPM system serves as the heart of the Lancaster operation. It consists of a large case and tote automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS), connecting carton conveyors, automated palletizers, pallet conveyors, stretch wrappers, and more—all of which perform without human intervention. This complex system fits in the space that had previously been occupied by a labor-intensive pick-to-belt operation. The design also incorporated a 10-aisle pallet AS/RS, which feeds the OPM. This was the only structural addition made to the building for the project. The pallet AS/RS occupies a footprint of just 175,000 square feet, yet it holds more than 53,000 pallets in double-deep storage.
Together, the new automated systems have enabled the Lancaster DC to process some 1.1 million cases a week, feeding nearly 400 stores in the Mid-Atlantic region as well as some markets in the Northeast. "We were able to more than double the number of stores serviced and increase our outbound volume by 100 percent in grocery without adding more shipping space to the facility," says Kroutch.
No-hands handling
Products arrive at the facility at six receiving lanes. Lift trucks then take the loads to six induction stations, where they are placed onto a pallet conveyor supplied by Binder. Once deposited on the conveyor, products are not touched again until they're loaded onto outbound trucks.
The pallet conveyor transports the loads to the newly built high-bay warehouse that holds the AS/RS. This area serves as reserve storage at the Lancaster facility. The AS/RS consists of 10 70-foot tall aisles accessed by 10 storage/retrieval cranes supplied by Daubach. Over 90 percent of all products in the DC pass through the system. The exceptions are items that are not suitable for automation, such as bags of dog food and flour that can easily break and spill. Currently, about 19,000 SKUs can be stored within the technology.
Upon arrival at the AS/RS, each load is transferred from its shipping pallet to a system pallet that provides the uniformity needed for automation. This is important, as shipping pallets are not typically made from the best materials and may have broken stringers and deck boards that could jam the automated systems. Once the goods are loaded onto a system pallet, fixed scanners check each load to assure that it meets the tolerance for the automated system (ensuring that no part of the load overhangs the pallet, for instance). The facility's management software works with the AS/RS to determine storage locations for the various SKUs, with attention paid to placing faster-moving SKUs closer to the pickup and delivery stations. Storage decisions are also made with an eye toward seeing that SKUs are located in more than one aisle to cover times when a crane is down for service.
Witron's warehouse management software triggers release of products from the AS/RS to replenish the tray AS/RS system that's used for order filling. The software selects SKUs based on sophisticated algorithms that consider SKU velocity, order history, forecast data, and upcoming sales promotions. This assures that ample product will be available in the tray AS/RS to fill the day's orders.
The cranes are summoned within the pallet AS/RS to collect the needed pallets from their storage locations. These are deposited onto conveyors for transport to the tray AS/RS. Eight Qubiqa layer picking machines depalletize cases, utilizing suction to remove layers from the incoming pallets. The cases in each layer are then deposited onto a conveyor, where they are singulated into a line and made ready for transfer onto trays. A second conveyor carrying empty plastic trays of two sizes travels in line directly below the case conveyor. The system assigns a tray of the appropriate size to each case. As the products reach the termination of the upper conveyor, the cases are gently dropped off its end onto a passing tray below. A vision system monitors the activity to assure that the transfers onto the trays have been completed without error.
The trays holding cartons of products are next conveyed to the large automated tray system. This mini-load AS/RS consists of 44 cranes (supplied by TGW Systems) and holds more than 400,000 trays. The cranes, which are designed for speed and efficiency, are engineered to handle either two larger trays or four smaller trays at a time. The cranes take the loads to assigned storage positions, with each position also able to hold either two large trays or four small trays.
Products remain within the mini-load for two to three days until they are required for fulfillment. At that time, the system gathers trays of products needed for orders and conveys them to a system containing 44 sequence buffers. This buffer system contains 44 cranes (also supplied by TGW Systems) that act as elevators to move the trays into temporary holding positions, where they remain until the order is ready for release. At that time, each tray is released in sequence for building pallets. The sequence of cartons assures that the pallet load is built to be stable and with items grouped by family for ease of putaway at the stores.
Pallet building is completed in an area known as the COM (case order machine). This system employs a pushing mechanism as opposed to the common practice of using robotic grippers to remove cases from the trays. As trays bearing products enter one of the system's 22 COMs, they pause on the conveyor. Metal fingers then rise from the conveyor below, poking through the small holes on the tray to gently lift the case above the tray surface. An arm then sweeps the product off the tray and onto an inline palletizing system. Heavier products typically are used for the bottom layer of the pallet, with cartons of different sizes added on top to create mixed-SKU pallets in layers that produce a stable load. Reusable plastic pallets are used for shipping.
Pallet loads next go to one of the facility's four wrapping machines, supplied by Strema. The pallets built at the Lancaster facility are taller than typical pallet loads in order to improve cubing within the system and reduce transportation costs. The wrapping process makes sure they're secure. A label is added to the wrapped pallet and the load is picked up at the end of a spur by a lift truck that takes it to an assigned outbound dock.
One of the benefits of automation is that Supervalu has better knowledge of the cube of its products. And since the system is picking products in sequence, the company can build fuller pallets and better optimized loads. "We now cube our loads better than in the past and have since seen a reduction in the total number of outbound loads, which has resulted in transportation savings," explains Kroutch.
Overall, the automated system can handle some 10,000 cases an hour. It operates for 20 hours a day, seven days a week.
While the automated systems handle the majority of products flowing out of the facility, some piece picking is also performed using labels. These items are picked into totes. RF picking is also utilized in the picking of products not suitable for the AS/RS systems. These are stored in conventional pallet racks.
Room for growth
Since moving to the OPM, Supervalu has been able to feed nearly 200 Acme Supermarkets with three to four deliveries a week and another 200 company stores with two to three deliveries weekly. The Lancaster operation, which with the high-bay addition now totals 1.7 million square feet, is among the most productive of Supervalu's 29 facilities nationwide. And orders are leaving the facility accurately and on time.
"Our fulfillment accuracy has been outstanding," says Fritz.
Since the OPM takes only about 60 percent of the space required for conventional picking systems, space has been opened in the facility for future growth, including eventual expansion of the Witron systems. The OPM can handle more than 91 percent of the current SKUs, and Supervalu is looking at increasing that percentage as it works with vendors to package products in ways that are automation-friendly. Because of the smooth handling of the automation, safety has improved and product damage and shrinkage are down, as is the amount of labor needed for the Lancaster operation. Since the system picks in sequence, labor has also been saved at the store level in restocking shelves.
"Customers say they are amazed—that is the word that comes out all the time," says Kroutch. "They see the efficient movement of our products, the smoothness, and how well the system handles the products without any damage. They also see the quality of the loads as they arrive at their back doors. The facility is now meeting our expectations and getting the ROI we need. And it is designed to give us the ability to grow."

GARDAI at Ballyfermot have renewed their appeal for information in relation to a fatal hit and run collision which occurred in February 2009.
Edward 'Eddie' Lynch (38) was walking on Claddagh Road, Ballyfermot, sometime between 8pm and 9pm on Sunday, February 22.
He had just exited a vehicle on Claddagh Road and was walking towards another vehicle which was close by at the junction of Claddagh Road and Claddagh Green, when he was struck by a Nissan Micra (98 D registration) which had driven from Inagh Road.
Edward got into a car and followed this Nissan up to Ballyfermot Road where an altercation took place between the occupants. They then went their separate ways.
Edward returned to his home and complained of feeling unwell, he was found dead at his home on the morning of February 25, 2009.
A post mortem examination was carried out and the results indicated that Edward died as a result of injuries sustained as a result of the hit and run collision.
A number of people have been arrested in connection with this investigation but to date no person has been charged.
Investigating gardai are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this incident or any person who may have information to contact the incident room at Ballyfermot Garda Station on 666 7212, the Garda Confidential Line 1`800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

Q: Shell script not picking up password file... Running the below shell script seems to ignore the password file I'm feeding it.  I'm continually prompted for it.  If I enter it, the rest of the script goes without a hitch, but as I'm running it via cron, I really need to get it to read from the file... Any suggestions?
#!/bin/sh
p=$(<password.txt)
set -- $p
pass_phrase=$1
destination="/var/www/d"
cd /var/sl/
for FILE in *.pgp;
do
    FILENAME=${FILE%.pgp}
    gpg --passphrase "$pass_phrase" --output "$destination/$FILENAME" --decrypt "$FILE"
    rm -f $FILE
done

A: Your problem lies in line 2:
p=$(<password.txt)

What you are doing here is to run an "empty command" in a subshell, storing its output in the variable p. What you rather want to do though, is to run a command that outputs the contents of the password file to stdout. So:
p=$(cat <password.txt)

This will do the trick.

A: You probably need to specify a full path to the file.  Or in your cron job, first cd to the directory containing that file.

A: Does --passphrase really exist? According to the manpage it doesn't, but the versions might be different.

A: Where is the password file? cron has a different PATH, which can cause scripts to behave differently when you run them yourself.
Possible solution one, put
cd `dirname $0`

at the top of the script, which would cd into the script's directory when it runs.
Possible solution two, try specifying the file directly with an absolute path:
gpg --passphrase-file /some/path/password.txt -o "$destination/$FILENAME" -d "$FILE"

Q: How to create a DataFrame from a series containing a list of a single Dict I have a pandas dataframe that I created from a response of an API request.One of the fields in my dataframe contains a list containing a unique dictionary like this :
my dataframe
I would like to create a new dataframe from this dictionary I have tried several methods but I have not succeeded, an example of what I tried extracting the dictionary to put them in a list and create a dataframe from it:
traking = df['traking'].tolist()
temp_list = []
for li in traking:
    temp_list.append(li[0])

I receive IndexError: list index out of range
but if I print(li[0]) I have my dictionary that appears, I'm a bit lost

A: I tried to replicate your dataframe and modified the answer based on the comment you put below.
import pandas as pd

lists = [[[{'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}]],] * 10

df = pd.DataFrame(lists, columns=['traking'])

traking = df['traking'].tolist()
keys = list(traking[0][0].keys())
print(keys)

temp_list = []
for li in traking:
    values = [li[0][key] for key in keys]
    temp_list.append(values)

# Output:
# keys = ['key1', 'key2']
# temp_list = [['value1', 'value2'],
#              ['value1', 'value2'],
#              ...,
#              ['value1', 'value2']]

This should provide the expected output

Q: What is the difference between new Date('"2017-12-31"') and new Date("2017-12-31") I have one date string "2017-12-31"
when i pass it in new Date("2017-12-31") it gives the output
Sat Dec 30 2017 12:00:00 GMT-1200 (Local Standard Time)

and when i give it like new Date('"2017-12-31"') or new Date("'2017-12-31'") it gives the output
Sun Dec 31 2017 00:00:00 GMT-1200 (Local Standard Time)

I am not able to understand why this is happening. Can anybody please explain it.

A: In the first case, you're passing a valid date time string in the only format the Date object is required to support. When you do that, it's required by the spec to treat the date string you've passed it as UTC because it doesn't have a time portion (if the string had a time in it, it would be required to treat it as local time). (Sadly, this has varied a bit in the last few spec releases. It's stable now.)
In the second case, you're passing it nonsense (neither " nor ' should be in a date/time string), which means an implementation can fall back to any implementation-defined mechanism for parsing the string that it wants, and it may choose to interpret it as local time. Apparently, your implementation is doing that (rather than the more reasonable approach — IMHO — of creating an invalid date). Since your timezone is GMT-1200, the result is that the two times are 12 hours apart.
Moral of the story: Pass only strings in the required format, or parse it yourself.

ICD-10 Guidelines: How to Read Section References
Q: This first question came in on ICD-10 guidelines: How to Read Section References. Specifically the person asked: "I'm finding it hard to understand the references to 'sections' in the guidelines in the ICD-10-CM. Example: Hypertension, transient, Section 1.C.9.a.7. or Section 1.C.18.g."
A: I know. It's like a legal document. It's a little scary at first, so we'll break it down and show you how to read the section references in the ICD-10 Guidelines. What I thought would be good is this could be an opportunity to show you what our CCO club looks like inside because that's where our club members get access to our BHAT® Cave document. Our BHAT® Cave is our bubble, highlight, & annotate technique guideline videos that we have that help people to mark up their manuals.
Let me show you how that works. If you are a member with us, you would basically go to www.podio.com and you would go to your hamburger menu and you're going to go to the CCO club. Of course, I've got a ton of stuff in here so don't freak out, you only have a couple compared to me. I'll do my shortcut that I do, I just type in "club" in the upper left hand corner and I jump to it this way.
I'm going to click on the BHAT® Cave app up on the top, these are our apps. We've got it organized in different views: introductory videos, CPT, annotation videos, ICD, of the errata that will be coming out throughout the year in miscellaneous things. I'm going to jump in to ICD and you can see we've got the PCS annotated guidelines, we've got the CM, we go into the different sections. These are all listed in this little tile view, you can switch it to a tabular view if you prefer. That's my view of choice. As you can see we've got it separated by year and we'll keep adding to this as the years go by.
Let me show you the ICD-10-CM. Typically this is where you'll see content. If we had a video, it would be in here, this just happens to be a PDF one. You just simply click on it, and depending on your browser or your computer system, it may open in a tab like this, or it may automatically open in your Abode viewer. What's I'm going to do because I want to show you the bookmarks, you can just scroll to use this. But I took a lot of time to create… these annotations are from Chandra, her nice, neat handwriting, her highlighting, but I took the document and did the bookmarking, so I'll show you how that works. You have to download it. I'll do that, and that's going to pull up. In my Adobe Acrobat viewer…
Alicia: It's very easy to get Adobe.
Laureen: If you click on this first icon here, this is just showing you the page thumbnails. What you want is the one right below it, it looks like a ribbon, and that's your bookmark. I've actually went in and created all these bookmarks and this gives you that hierarchical view. Let me collapse this. The layout of this document, it's 114 pages. We've got four main sections, so Section 1 is the Conventions, the general coding guidelines and chapter specific guidelines. Section 2 is really more for the inpatient coding community, selection of principal diagnosis, but it's still a good read for all coders. Section 3 is on reporting additional diagnoses and Section 4 is diagnostic coding and reporting guidelines for outpatient services. Then there's an Appendix I. That's how it's laid out.
This is the general text here. If you start scrolling, you'll see they do have a Table of Contents and it's very long. Here is Section 1: Conventions, general coding guidelines and chapter specific guidelines. Then, the first indentation, if you will, is the conventions. Then it goes A.1, the Alpha Index; A.2, the format and structure; A.3. the use of codes for reporting purposes. Then you jump down to B – and now it goes to the General Coding Guidelines. B.1 is locating a code in the ICD-10-CM; B.2 is the Level of detail in Coding; and so on and so forth.
Then it goes to C – Chapter Specific Coding Guidelines. This is where we spend a lot of our time. In that Roman numeral IC.-whatever; so here's C.I.a. so it goes deeper, deeper, deeper, more and more nested is how it works. It's very similar to a legal document where they'll have I.I.2.3.a; this is how they do it. What you need to do when someone uses a reference is go back to this collapsed view and just jump into them one at a time in the order that it's presented and you'll get to where you need to go. It just takes a little bit. You can't just type in that long I.C.3.- whatever and jump to it, but you can use this little menu item here.
What I did is I further broke it down. If I want to go to section 1C – Chapter Specific – I can expand this out, and now I see all the different chapters in ICD-10. So, if I want to drill down and go to Diseases of the Nervous System, that's in Chapter 6, I click on that, and it jumps me right to it in the document, just the bookmark. Otherwise, you have to do lot of scrolling, and that's where people get lost and the letters don't line up, like, "Wait a minute, where was I?" so, if you use this one…
This PDF is available for free out on the website. What we did is we took this free version and we annotated it. We added our highlights, we added the bookmarks. What this does is it gives you Chandra's brain on ICD-10 guidelines and it's just little notes, little cues, circling keywords, that's why this is part of the BHAT® system, the bubble, highlight, annotate technique system because it's ways to make us have things jump out at us.
Here's one, Chapter 6: Diseases of the Nervous System (G00-G99). For "a" she has highlighted codes from category G81, hemiplegia and hemiparesis, and subcategories G83.1. Here's her note here: "Assume all are right-handed, if not documented." Then, she just wrote here "defaults" this bulleted list. That's pretty much how you do it.
What I did for the 2017 version, in red I indicated the new information. If you click on this one for hypertension, that's in I.C.9.a is pretty much how you would jump to it, and here it is. Now, if you read the beginning of the guidelines, it lets you know new stuff is in bold. That's what we're looking at here.
Alicia: This was a big change for 2017, too, just a heads-up.
Laureen: Yeah. What you want to do, if you've purchased our ICD-10 Update webinar that Alicia and I did, you can see all this information, all the highlights of the new stuff. That's worth checking out. Do we have any questions?
Alicia: While she's looking at questions, I want to just say, this is if you studied how to create outlines, I think we did that in high school. That's what the guidelines are, they're classic outline format; that constant indenting. Just think of it as an outline. One of the other things that I was going to mention is that with her putting everything in red, that really gives you a heads-up, but if this is in yellow, that means you're probably going to be tested on something in this. They're not going to specifically ask you that question, they're going to give you a scenario when that applies. It doesn't matter what credential you're testing for. If it deals with ICD-10, this guideline applies, whether you're doing inpatient, outpatient. Specifically says outpatient, inpatient stuff, but this particular one on hypertension, you're going to be tested on that guideline. That's why it's beneficial to have that yellow in there, so you can go back and double check and say, "This is what they want to know if I know."
Laureen: This is really what you want to study guys for ICD-10. You want to know these guidelines. When I first started studying and teaching people, a lot of experienced coders don't even know these guidelines existed, and they're called the "ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting." This is in the front of most ICD-10 manual so look for yours, see if it's there.
What ends up happening though is by the time the manuals go to print, these guidelines aren't ready yet for the new year; so the 2017 manual that you probably have right now probably has 2016 guidelines. That's why it's good to have this PDF. We are actually working on getting this very document with our on-demand printer because it's 114 pages. You could print it on your home printer if you want, if you're part of the club or you have access to the BHAT® Cave, but we just decided to put in a little spiral bound. So, you are allowed to bring updated material that's related to your manuals directly – this is one of them – to your exam.
I did confirm it with the AAPC. I know people get worried sometimes that the proctor won't let them, but they are allowed to bring, you are allowed to bring errata and updated information that's not in your current printed manual. Keep in mind too if you're testing and you feel that a proctor doesn't have the correct information or isn't going to allow you to do something that you were pretty darn sure you could do, there is a hotline number that they have. Normally these exams are happening on a Saturday but they do have someone dedicated to help if there are questions like that.
You can remind the proctor, say, "Could you call the AAPC? I know they give you a hotline number because I confirmed before I came that we were allowed to bring in these guidelines because my manual has last years." This of course is for people taking the exam after January 1. If you're taking the exam in the next couple of days where you were doing this at the end of December, then you're going to want the 2016 PDF printed and brought in with you.
That being said, I've been teaching students to take the CPC exams since the year and most of the time they did not print or bring in the new year's guidelines. What that says, what the AAPC does, is each year they will take the exams that they've spent a lot of money vetting and creating, and they will go through and each question they will look at and make sure it fits with the new code set. They're not going to go, "Oh, okay, we need to put in something on Excludes because that's new." "OK, now we need to put in something about 'with' because that's new; and this one number 19." They don't do that. But probably the following year if it was a major change, they will probably try and fold in some of that new information. But they're not right at January 1 try to get all that new information. That's what CEUs are for, that's what your continuing education units indicate that you're staying up-to-date. But for that certification exam, they already have the key core established guidelines already in there.
Anything else to share about ICD-10 guidelines that you can think of, Alicia?
Alicia: Again, they're testing you on what you know and they're testing you on the guidelines and we've always said both with ICD and CPT, read the guidelines at least three times. That's going to be very, very important.
Laureen: And it's not necessarily about memorizing all of these pages, but it's familiarizing yourself with it; so you go, "Wait a minute, there's something about diabetes, I'm going to go look for that." What's nice about real world coding versus doing it on the certification exam, is you can use the search tools to look up words. If I wanted to type in diabetes, if this is an OCR document or the one from the original site…
Alicia: They know you know how to look up a code. That's not what you're being tested on.
Laureen: My search isn't working, so what I'd had to do is because what we did in order to get the annotations in the notes, we had to actually scan back in a PDF, so the PDF on the internet, that when you download it, it's already searchable, so I would just need to make this so it's OCR-ready and you can look up the words. But that's the nice thing, is that you can search the document that way versus having to go through each section.
Let me just scroll through this a little bit so you can see here she's running everything prior to the Tabular list. Then, when you're actually taking an exam or in the real world and you're trying to code, "I know there's an ICD-10 guideline, let me go check my guidelines," and you can go back and look at it.
Alicia: If you scroll up just a little bit, that NEC and NOC, another classic example of what they're going to test you on. Right there, if you look up where she's got it highlighted, the NOS "Not otherwise specified" and then it gives what that stands for.
Laureen: Yeah. I normally, when I very first started teaching this, when I was really like confused myself and I have to give myself these funny stories, I said, "Hmm. Really, NOS is the doctor's fault, they weren't specific enough. NEC is really the book's fault, because the book didn't go into enough specifics even though the physician gave the details." That's how I've always reminded myself.
Alicia: You could even write yourself a note there.
Laureen: Books fault, doctor's fault. Yeah, exactly. No offense to any doctors listening. So, this just gives you an idea, this is all available in the BHAT® Cave. Just as a reminder to our club members and our students that do have access to this, that this is proprietary; once we annotated and add our touch to it, it is not to be shared. It's for people that's our CCO club members; so you're free to use it and download it for your own personal use, but it should not be shared. If you've learned of someone who's doing that, we would appreciate you letting us know because it takes a lot of time for us to do these annotations and things and it's a little disheartening when it gets shared out there.
Let's see if anyone else has any questions. Donna is asking which of the ICD-10 code books do they have the guidelines just prior to the codes? I think all of the ones, Optum…
Alicia: Yeah. I think all of them do. CPT also is always in the front, too. Is it HCPCS, has something at the back? One of them has it at the back, I guess it's HCPCS, where everything is flipped to what you normally expect.
Laureen: Yeah. That's always been a pet peeve of mine too, that they put the index in ICD in the front. Most books have the index in the back. At any rate, years ago when they first came out, they literally were in three separate bound volumes, because so many codes, the codes are growing that the Find-A-Code people, they have a division, they do ICD-10 specialty manuals. You're welcome to check it out in the CCO store, but they also have a general ICD-10 manual. It's so big because they did not do what many of the other publishers did with the small, teeny fonts. It's in two volumes, so they're putting the Index in one volume and the Tabular in another, which you're like "two books" but a lot of people are reporting they actually like it because they can have the index open and then flip to the codes. If you're a paper manual user, you might want to consider that for next year.
We're actually working with the Find-A-Code folks and doing a lot of our color coding and annotating, and things like that. So, look for some good news hopefully in the future on that. They're really good folks at Find-A-Code. They really listen, they want to know what do people want and they try and do that. That's what I really like about them.
Alicia: I think they're education-based too. Education is something that they think about, not all encoder companies think of that.

Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.
We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn't use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology.
Until now, gesturing has often been used to operate PCs and other devices. But with this interface, we're not operating a PC, but touching actual objects directly, and combining them with ICT equipment.
The system is designed not to react when you make ordinary motions on a table. It can be operated when you point with one finger. What this means is, the system serves as an interface combining analog operations and digital devices.

Botanie Mountain, also spelled Bootahnie Mountain, is a mountain in the Clear Range of the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada.  It is located immediately north of the village of Lytton, which is situated at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers.

Access and fire lookout
A fire lookout stands atop a peak approximately  to the south (elevation ) which is owned and maintained by the local wireless society for TV, radio, and digital transmission.  The current view from the lookout can be seen via a live webcam.  The lookout is accessible by two very rough 4x4 roads which approach from either end of the mountain, which is somewhat ridge-like, on a north-south axis.  The roads have been decommissioned and are no longer driveable above a certain elevation.  The summit is one of the highest on the east flank of the Fraser Canyon and enjoys views over the Scarped Range and Thompson Plateau to the east and southeast, across the Thompson River's lower canyon, the Clear Range to the north and northwest, the Cascade Mountains to the south, and west across the Fraser to the Lillooet Ranges.

Name
The older spelling "Boothanie" is suggestive of the proper pronunciation of the mountain's name, i.e. it is unlike the English word "botany" and has been "phonetically" spelled as Boo-TAW-ny.  In the language of the Thompson or Nlaka'pamux people, it means "covered", "covering" or "blanketed all over", which is thought to be a reference to its shroud of cloud or fog in times of bad weather, or else a reference to the abundant plant cover in the area.  The Botanie Valley, which is formed by Botanie Creek on its east flank and runs south from Botanie Lake, is an important food-plant gathering area for the Nlaka'pamux.

A publication of the Geological Survey of Canada, Summary Report from 1894, asserts the name-origin (p. 402B) to the Shuswap language of the Secwepemc people, meaning "perpetual root place".  Secwepemc territory today begins in the basin of Hat Creek, which lies on the "inside" of the Clear Range to the northwest of Botanie Mountain.  The mountain is, however, decidedly in Nlaka'pamux territory.

Q: Diagonalization of a matrix given by a finite group $\newcommand{\Q}{\Bbb Q}
\newcommand{\N}{\Bbb N}
\newcommand{\R}{\Bbb R}
\newcommand{\Z}{\Bbb Z}
\newcommand{\C}{\Bbb C}
\newcommand{\A}{\Bbb A}
\newcommand{\GL}{\mathrm{GL}}
\newcommand{\Gal}{\mathrm{Gal}}
\newcommand{\matr}[2]{\begin{pmatrix} #1 \\ #2 \end{pmatrix}}
$
Let $G$ be a finite group and $S : G \to \C$ be any map. Define the matrix
$$ M = (S(xy^{-1}))_{x, y \in G} $$
Is it true that $M$ is diagonalizable of $\C$ ? Note: it would be equivalent to take $M' := (S(xy))_{x, y \in G} $.

Thoughts:
It is true if $G = \Z / g \Z$ is a cyclic group of order $g>1$, as one can check that for $U := (e^{2 \pi i x y / g})_{1 \leq x, y \leq g}$, we have $MU = UD$ for some diagonal matrix $D$. Moreover, $U$ is invertible (check the SAGE code below).  This was in some paper by Takashi Ono.
Apparently, it also works for some non-abelian groups, but I don't know how to proceed.

UCF = UniversalCyclotomicField();
for g in range(1, 6):
    U = matrix(UCF, [[E(g)^(x*y) for x in range(g)] for y in range(g)])
    print(g, U.determinant())#, CC(U.determinant()))
    print(U, "\n")
    print(U.inverse(), " ====== \n\n")
