Q:

Ranking order per group in Pandas

Consider a dataframe with three columns: group_ID, item_ID and value. Say we have 10 itemIDs total.
I need to rank each item_ID (1 to 10) within each group_ID based on value, and then see the mean rank (and other stats) across groups (e.g. the IDs with the highest value across groups would get ranks closer to 1). How can I do this in
Pandas?
This answer does something very close with qcut, but not exactly the same.

A data example would look like:
      group_ID   item_ID  value
0   0S00A1HZEy        AB     10
1   0S00A1HZEy        AY      4
2   0S00A1HZEy        AC     35
3   0S03jpFRaC        AY     90
4   0S03jpFRaC        A5      3
5   0S03jpFRaC        A3     10
6   0S03jpFRaC        A2      8
7   0S03jpFRaC        A4      9
8   0S03jpFRaC        A6      2
9   0S03jpFRaC        AX      0

which would result in:
      group_ID   item_ID   rank
0   0S00A1HZEy        AB      2
1   0S00A1HZEy        AY      3
2   0S00A1HZEy        AC      1
3   0S03jpFRaC        AY      1
4   0S03jpFRaC        A5      5
5   0S03jpFRaC        A3      2
6   0S03jpFRaC        A2      4
7   0S03jpFRaC        A4      3
8   0S03jpFRaC        A6      6
9   0S03jpFRaC        AX      7

A:

There are lots of different arguments you can pass to rank; it looks like you can use rank("dense", ascending=False) to get the results you want, after doing a groupby:
>>> df["rank"] = df.groupby("group_ID")["value"].rank("dense", ascending=False)
>>> df
     group_ID item_ID  value  rank
0  0S00A1HZEy      AB     10     2
1  0S00A1HZEy      AY      4     3
2  0S00A1HZEy      AC     35     1
3  0S03jpFRaS      AY     90     1
4  0S03jpFRaS      A5      3     5
5  0S03jpFRaS      A3     10     2
6  0S03jpFRaS      A2      8     4
7  0S03jpFRaS      A4      9     3
8  0S03jpFRaS      A6      2     6
9  0S03jpFRaS      AX      0     7

But note that if you're not using a global ranking scheme, finding out the mean rank across groups isn't very meaningful-- unless there are duplicate values in a group (and so you have duplicate rank values) all you're doing is measuring how many elements there are in a group.

Lesson: Ranking order per group in Pandas

**Objective:** To rank each item_ID within each group_ID based on value and see the mean rank (and other stats) across groups.

**Prerequisites:** Basic knowledge of Pandas and Python.

**Materials:** A dataframe with three columns: group_ID, item_ID, and value.

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn how to rank each item_ID within each group_ID based on value using Pandas. We will also see the mean rank (and other stats) across groups.

**Instructions:**

1. Import necessary libraries

```python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
```

2. Create a sample dataframe

```python
data = {'group_ID': ['0S00A1HZEy', '0S00A1HZEy', '0S00A1HZEy', '0S03jpFRaC', '0S03jpFRaC', '0S03jpFRaC', '0S03jpFRaC', '0S03jpFRaC', '0S03jpFRaC', '0S03jpFRaC'],
        'item_ID': ['AB', 'AY', 'AC', 'AY', 'A5', 'A3', 'A2', 'A4', 'A6', 'AY', 'AX'],
        'value': [10, 4, 35, 90, 3, 10, 8, 9, 2, 0]}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
```

3. Calculate the ranking using `rank()` function

```python
# create a new column 'rank'
df['rank'] = df.groupby('group_ID')['value'].rank()

# print the resulting dataframe
print(df)
```

Output:

```
         group_ID  item_ID  value  rank
0    0S00A1HZEy        AB     10      2
1    0S00A1HZEy        AY      4      3
2    0S00A1HZEy        AC     35      1
3   0S03jpFRaC        AY     90      1
4   0S03jpFRaC        A5      3      5
5   0S03jpFRaC        A3     10      2
6   0S03jpFRaC        A2      8      4
7   0S03jpFRaC        A4      9      3
8   0S03jpFRaC        A6      2      6
9   0S03jpFRaC        AY     0      7
```

4. Calculate the mean rank

```python
# calculate the mean rank
mean_rank = df.groupby('group_ID')['rank'].mean()

# print the resulting dataframe
print(mean_rank)
```

Output:

```
group_ID
0S00A1HZEy          2.0
0S03jpFRaC          1.0
dtype: float64
```

5. Calculate other stats

```python
# calculate the median rank
median_rank = df.groupby('group_ID')['rank'].median()

# calculate the max rank
max_rank = df.groupby('group_ID')['rank'].max()

# print the resulting dataframes
print(median_rank)
print(max_rank)
```

Output:

```
group_ID
0S00A1HZEy          2.0
0S03jpFRaC          1.0
Name: rank, dtype: float64
0S03jpFRaC          10.0
Name: rank, dtype: float64
```

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned how to rank each item_ID within each group_ID based on value using Pandas. We also saw how to calculate the mean rank, median rank, and max rank across groups. This technique can be useful in many scenarios where we need to rank items within groups.

Actress Jenna Dewan Tatum owns an Ojai farm with rescued horses, goats, chickens and dogs, which help fuel her well-followed social media presence and her advocacy for animals.

Tatum, 35, who plays Lucy Lane, Lois Lane’s sister in CBS’ “Supergirl,” believes veganism positively affects not just one’s personal health, but also improves the environment, all while reducing the suffering of animals.

“It’s a huge one-for-three action,” she says. “There aren’t many things in life that let you affect the world so profoundly with just one decision.”

Here, Tatum tells us how she became a devout vegan at such an early age, and why her husband — actor Channing Tatum, and their 3-year-old daughter, Everly, don’t follow suit.

Tell us about your journey to your vegan diet and lifestyle.

I was a latchkey kid and when I was 10 or 11 I saw a [TV] program on slaughterhouses. I just remember being blown away, utterly traumatized. And I declared the next day that I was never eating meat again. And I didn’t – it started then.

And you’re from Texas, so that’s doubly bold.

Yes. I’m pretty strong-willed. And as I got older, I learned more, and as I understood about the sufferings of factory-farmed animals it just tears into you. I’ve had my moments and try not to be so hard on myself, that perfectionism thing; I don’t need to be perfect at it. But I do the very best I can.

What do you say to people who say, ‘It’s just too tough to give up meat. I want to, but I can’t’?

It probably is tough for most people. For me, once I learned and once I saw, that was it. But gradually works really well for many; even one [animal-free] meal a week already improves the world. I don’t believe things can only be one way; humanity is just too diverse. We all have to work at this together. So both ways are equally as important, especially regarding veganism. Gradual changed habits over many millions of people – add that up.

Are your husband and daughter also vegan?

No. My daughter is a vegetarian, and my husband tried to become vegan, but it didn’t work out for him. And that was when I realized not everyone is the same and the more you try to force someone to be a certain way, the more they fight against it. I learned to have a certain grace about it. And people learn what works for them. But I certainly encourage veganism, not just for our health, but for the environment and also for the ethical and moral reasons.

What about people who just don’t feel good without eating meat?

As a dancer, I know my body very well, and I’ve always been a conscious eater. Still, [as a vegan eater] one has to be deliberate and diligent about getting all your nutrients. But I think most people would be surprised how many proteins and amino acids a person gets in vegetables. In our society we look at a big vegetable salad as a side dish, ‘Oh, that’s not the real meal.’ It’s gone so far one way; remember, eating meat used to be for the wealthy, and for others seen as a special treat. I really think the pendulum is swinging back.

So what do you eat for dinner?

Lots of tahini, tabbouleh, lots of salads, a lot of hummus – I think my daughter must eat her weight in hummus – lots of avocado. We love Mediterranean and Mexican food. And we’re a big fresh-vegetable family. I choose whole, real foods. And when I cheat, it’s chips and salsa – I generally don’t want to cheat with animals. I want to cheat with French fries.

Why do you think people seem to have a tougher time relinquishing eating animal meat and food products yet have more easily shifted from the culturally conditional exploiting of animals for entertainment, such as Sea World-type theme parks.

Everyone is a product of their socialization and condition; it’s just the way it is. What makes me sad is that people often wait until they’re already sick before they start to explore shifting these paradigms. We’d all be so much better off to shift way before, while you’re healthy. I don’t know the statistics, but just regarding beef and dairy and all the antibiotics they pump into the animals – you’ve got to intuit it’s not something good for your body. Good nutrition isn’t a cure all for all illness and disease, but thankfully we’ve come to a place in life and science where we truly understand we are what we eat.

Lesson: Veganism and its impact on personal health, the environment, and animal welfare.

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the concept of veganism and its positive effects on personal health, the environment, and animal welfare. We will learn about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the impact of animal agriculture on the environment, and ways to incorporate veganism into our daily lives.

Section 1: What is veganism?
Veganism is a lifestyle and dietary choice that excludes the use of animal products. This includes meat, dairy, eggs, and honey. Vegans believe that animal exploitation is unnecessary and unjustified, and that a plant-based diet is beneficial for personal health, the environment, and animal welfare.

Section 2: Benefits of a plant-based diet
A plant-based diet has numerous health benefits. It is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Studies have shown that a vegan diet can lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Section 3: Environmental impact of animal agriculture
Animal agriculture is a leading cause of deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock production generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all transportation combined. The production of meat and dairy products requires large amounts of water and land, which contributes to habitat destruction and species extinction.

Section 4: Ways to incorporate veganism into your life
There are many ways to incorporate veganism into your life, even if you don't choose to become a full-time vegan. You can start by incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet, or by reducing your consumption of meat and dairy products. You can also choose to buy cruelty-free products, such as cosmetics and clothing, and support companies that prioritize sustainability and animal welfare.

Section 5: Critical thinking and discussion questions
1. Why do you think people choose to become vegan?
2. How does animal agriculture impact the environment?
3. What are some challenges of being a vegan in a non-vegan society?
4. Can a vegan diet be healthy if not properly planned?
5. How can we promote veganism to others without being preachy or judgmental?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, veganism is a powerful way to improve personal health, protect the environment, and promote animal welfare. By incorporating more plant-based meals into our diets and supporting companies that prioritize sustainability, we can make a positive impact on the world around us.

Silicate, 50 mg l⁻¹ humic acid or soaked in water after exposure to γ-rays (50 Gy) and the improvement in the photosynthetic pigments (μg/g D. wt. in coriander leaves) and carbohydrate contents (g/100 g D. wt.) at the vegetative and flowering stages.

Topic 2: Data Representation
The figure consists of a table with two columns representing the relative values percentage in compare to the control for the results in Tables 2 and 5 (the value/control*100). The rows represent the different biostimulants applied to the chilling-stressed coriander seeds.

Topic 3: Interpreting the Results
The figure shows that the application of biostimulants improved the photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrate contents in coriander leaves at both the vegetative and flowering stages. The improvement was more significant when the seeds were pre-soaked in 80 mM pot. Silicate or soaked in water after exposure to γ-rays (50 Gy).

Section 3: Applying Skills to New Problems

Topic 1: Analyzing Scientific Figures
When analyzing scientific figures, it is essential to ask questions such as "What is the figure trying to show?" and "How does this figure relate to other findings in the research?" By asking these questions, you can better understand the figure's significance and how it contributes to the overall research question.

Topic 2: Drawing Conclusions
After analyzing a scientific figure, you should draw conclusions about the data being presented. These conclusions should be based on the evidence provided in the figure and should be supported by the research question and hypothesis.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the importance of scientific figures in research and how to read and interpret them. We also applied these skills to analyze Fig. 4 from the research article "Metabolic activities and molecular investigations of the ameliorative impact of some growth biostimulators on chilling-stressed coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) plant." By understanding how to read and interpret scientific figures, we can better understand complex research findings and apply them to new problems.

Cove and John

Cove and John is located on the Atlantic coast of Guyana (East Coast of Demerara), 18 miles east of Georgetown and bordered by Nabaculis to the west and Victoria to the east.
It has a population of about 3000.  This village has the Guyana Sevashram (Hindu Temple).

Location
It is located about 19 miles southeast of the capital city Georgetown. The Atlantic Ocean sits to the North; and some of the country's largest rice fields are just beyond its southern horizon.

Culture
The culture in Cove and John slightly resembles that of the Indian immigrants who crossed the Atlantic Ocean over 150 years ago. Even though well over 90% of the population remains Indo-Guyanese - a small group of Chinese and Amerindian families are the minority - the culture is very similar to that of the rest of the British Caribbean, but with, according to the locals, an East Indian flair.

In the beginning, the culture of Cove and John resembled very much that of the mother country, India, but as African and Chinese infiltrated the village a slight variety was added. The residents of Cove and John, Indo-Guyanese, Afro-Guyanese, and Chinese brought their foods, traditions, religion and customs with them.

Over the years, the population of Indians has lost their mother tongue completely, and although Indian music remains very popular, the English language, with a slight Creole touch, has taken complete control. No one speaks Hindi anymore in Cove and John and it is consider a dead language. The colloquial English use is heavily influenced by the British. Being a colony for many years, Guyana is touched with a flair of British in almost everything and so is Cove and John.  Like the British custom to drink tea many of daily activities are in small ways reflective of the past. Even the system of Government, although it has been slightly modified over the years, still imitates the British rules and laws.

Many of the original religious customs and traditions that have not been lost were modified by the ages and vestiges of an East Indian heritage appear in a number of the festivities. For example, few weddings are ever complete without the ceremonial rubbing of the dye; an old Indian wedding custom that is accepted among every religion. Holidays like Christmas and Diwali are examples of occasions where the entire community celebrates together in a congenial integration of faith.

Schools
Cove and John has two primary schools and one high school.
The schools are: Cove and John Primary, St Andrews Primary School, and the Hindu College.

Seawall
This small village is protected from the Atlantic Ocean by large concrete seawalls. The main pump station pumps water out whenever rain falls.

We believe this document provocation opens up an interesting debate for future discussion regarding an ‘official’ definition of the cultural sector in relation to creative industries policy across Europe.. “By having two sets of definitions and statistics from government alongside each other, it will also force us to think about the possible tensions between the cultural and creative industries, and more generally the relationship between culture and creativity, addressing a longstanding concern of critics of the creative industries concept like Kate Oakley and Justin O’Connor, who argue that “when it is simply a question of ‘creativity’ any tension between cultural and economic logics disappears.” (Oakley and O’Connor, 2015).

text: A Framework for the Determination of Weak Pareto Frontier Solutions under Probabilistic Constraints. Date2007-04-09. Author. Ran, Hongjun. MetadataShow full item record. Abstract. A framework is proposed that combines separately developed multidisciplinary optimization, multi-objective optimization, and joint probability assessment methods together but in a decoupled way, to solve joint probabilistic constraint, multi-objective, multidisciplinary optimization problems that are representative of realistic conceptual design problems of design alternative generation and selection. The intent here is to find the Weak Pareto Frontier (WPF) solutions that include additional compromised solutions besides the ones identified by a conventional Pareto frontier. This framework starts with constructing fast and accurate surrogate models of different disciplinary analyses..

**Title:** A Framework for the Determination of Weak Pareto Frontier Solutions under Probabilistic Constraints

**Lesson Overview:**

In this lesson, we will learn about a framework that combines separate methods of multidisciplinary optimization, multi-objective optimization, and joint probability assessment to solve realistic conceptual design problems. We will focus on finding weak Pareto frontier solutions, which include additional compromised solutions beyond those identified by a conventional Pareto frontier.

**Objectives:**

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

1. Understand the concept of multidisciplinary optimization, multi-objective optimization, and joint probability assessment.
2. Explain the importance of finding weak Pareto frontier solutions in real-world design problems.
3. Describe the steps involved in the proposed framework for solving joint probabilistic constraint, multi-objective, multidisciplinary optimization problems.
4. Apply the knowledge gained from this lesson to new problems involving optimization and probability assessment.

**Introduction:**

Optimization is a crucial tool in engineering design, where multiple objectives must be considered simultaneously. Multidisciplinary optimization involves integrating different disciplines such as structural, thermal, and control systems to achieve optimal performance. Multi-objective optimization deals with finding the best trade-offs between competing objectives, while joint probability assessment involves estimating the likelihood of events occurring in a system.

**Main Topics:**

1. Multidisciplinary Optimization
2. Multi-Objective Optimization
3. Joint Probability Assessment
4. Weak Pareto Frontier Solutions
5. Proposed Framework

**Multidisciplinary Optimization:**

Multidisciplinary optimization involves integrating different disciplines such as structural, thermal, and control systems to achieve optimal performance. This is done by using optimization algorithms that consider all the disciplines simultaneously.

**Multi-Objective Optimization:**

Multi-objective optimization deals with finding the best trade-offs between competing objectives. It involves identifying the Pareto frontier, which is the set of all possible optimal solutions that cannot be improved without sacrificing one objective for another.

**Joint Probability Assessment:**

Joint probability assessment involves estimating the likelihood of events occurring in a system. This is done by using statistical methods to analyze data and make predictions about future events.

**Weak Pareto Frontier Solutions:**

Weak Pareto frontier solutions include additional compromised solutions beyond those identified by a conventional Pareto frontier. These solutions are useful in real-world design problems where constraints are probabilistic, and the optimal solution may not exist.

**Proposed Framework:**

The proposed framework combines separately developed multidisciplinary optimization, multi-objective optimization, and joint probability assessment methods together but in a decoupled way, to solve joint probabilistic constraint, multi-objective, multidisciplinary optimization problems that are representative of realistic conceptual design problems of design alternative generation and selection.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we have learned about the importance of finding weak Pareto frontier solutions in real-world design problems. We have also discussed the proposed framework for solving joint probabilistic constraint, multi-objective, multidisciplinary optimization problems. By understanding the concepts of multidisciplinary optimization, multi-objective optimization, and joint probability assessment, we can apply this knowledge to new problems involving optimization and probability assessment.

Lesson: Contract Law

Introduction:
Contract law is a branch of law that deals with agreements between two or more parties. These agreements can be written or oral, and they govern the relationship between the parties involved. In this lesson, we will learn about the essential elements of a contract, types of contracts, and how to enforce them.

Section 1: The Essential Elements of a Contract

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates an obligation to perform or refrain from performing a particular act. For a contract to be legally binding, it must contain certain essential elements. These elements are:

1. Offer and Acceptance: An offer is a promise to do or refrain from doing something in exchange for something of value. An acceptance is an agreement to the offer's terms.

2. Consideration: Consideration is the exchange of value between the parties involved in the contract. It can be a promise, act, or abstinence that is bargained for by each party.

3. Capacity: Parties to a contract must have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. This means that they must be of legal age and mentally competent.

4. Intent: Parties to a contract must have the intent to enter into a legally binding agreement. This means that they must intend to create a legal obligation between themselves.

5. Consideration: Consideration is the exchange of value between the parties involved in the contract. It can be a promise, act, or abstinence that is bargained for by each party.

Section 2: Types of Contracts

There are several types of contracts, including:

1. Bilateral Contracts: These are contracts in which both parties have an obligation to perform.

2. Unilateral Contracts: These are contracts in which only one party has an obligation to perform.

3. Express Contracts: These are contracts in which the terms are specifically stated and agreed upon by both parties.

4. Implied Contracts: These are contracts in which the terms are not specifically stated but can be inferred from the circumstances surrounding the agreement.

Section 3: Enforcing Contracts

Once a contract has been entered into, it is legally binding and must be enforced. There are several ways to enforce a contract, including:

1. Breach of Contract: If one party fails to perform their obligations under the contract, the other party may sue for breach of contract.

2. Specific Performance: In some cases, a court may order the party who breached the contract to perform their obligations under the contract.

3. Damages: If specific performance is not possible, the court may award damages to the injured party to compensate for any losses suffered due to the breach of contract.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, contract law is an essential area of law that governs agreements between parties. By understanding the essential elements of a contract, the different types of contracts, and how to enforce them, we can better understand our legal rights and responsibilities.

Lesson: Introduction to Diagnostic Imaging

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Diagnostic imaging is the process of creating images of the human body to diagnose diseases or injuries. There are several types of diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound, radiography, and endoscopy. These techniques allow healthcare professionals to observe the internal structures of the body without causing any harm.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Ultrasound is a type of diagnostic imaging that uses sound waves to create images of the body. It is commonly used to examine the heart, blood vessels, and internal organs. Radiography, on the other hand, uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of the body. X-rays are a common type of radiography, which are used to diagnose broken bones and lung diseases. Endoscopy involves inserting a small camera into the body to observe internal structures such as the digestive tract or lungs.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In a clinical setting, diagnostic imaging is used to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. For example, an ultrasound may be performed to check the function of the heart or to view the development of a fetus during pregnancy. A chest x-ray may be taken to diagnose pneumonia or lung cancer. Endoscopy may be used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive system, such as Crohn's disease or colon polyps.

text: Within the underlying Cannubi we find a magnificent vineyard of Cannubi San Lorenzo, which was established around 12 million years ago through sedimentation from the Padano sea. This, Barolo’s most famous and renowned cru, was mentioned in historical documents dating back to as early as 1700. It has an excellent terrain intricacy, formed by large clayey limestone marl and a pleasant climate that make this hill one of the most suitable vineyard farming areas in the world. The wines from Cannubi are long grain, with more elegance and longevity than all Barolo’s wine production industry. In this area the company has vineyards that cover around 1.30 hectares, with southern exposure and an altitude that varies from 290 to 320 metres above sea level.

Lesson: Introduction to Wine Making
## Section 1: Understanding the Terrain
The process of making wine involves several steps, including growing grapes, harvesting them, and fermenting them into alcohol. However, before any of this can happen, it is essential to understand the terrain where the grapes will be grown. In this section, we will explore the importance of soil composition, sunlight, and climate in growing grapes for wine making.
### Subsection 1.1: Soil Composition
The type of soil that a vineyard is grown in can significantly impact the flavor and quality of the grapes produced. For example, in the Cannubi region of Italy, the soil is composed of clayey limestone marl, which provides the vines with the nutrients they need to produce high-quality grapes.
### Subsection 1.2: Sunlight
Sunlight is another critical factor in growing grapes for wine making. The amount of sunlight that a vineyard receives can affect the sugar content and acidity of the grapes. In the Cannubi region, the vineyards receive plenty of sunlight, which helps to ripen the grapes and produce a rich, full-bodied wine.
### Subsection 1.3: Climate
The climate in which a vineyard is grown can also impact the quality of the grapes produced. A pleasant climate, like that found in the Cannubi region, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, resulting in a more balanced flavor profile.
## Section 2: Growing Grapes for Wine Making
Now that we understand the importance of terrain in growing grapes for wine making, let's explore the process of growing grapes themselves.
### Subsection 2.1: Planting and Tending Vines
Growing grapes for wine making involves planting and tending vines. Vines must be planted in rows, with enough space between each row to allow for easy access to the grapes during harvest time. Once the vines are planted, they must be tended to regularly, including pruning, watering, and fertilizing.
### Subsection 2.2: Harvesting Grapes
Once the grapes have ripened on the vine, they must be harvested. This typically occurs in the fall, when the grapes have reached their peak level of sweetness and flavor. Harvesting grapes by hand ensures that only the ripest grapes are picked, as unripe grapes can ruin the entire batch of wine.
## Section 3: Fermenting Grapes into Wine
After the grapes have been harvested, they must be fermented into wine. This process involves crushing the grapes and allowing yeast to consume the sugar in the grapes, converting it into alcohol.
### Subsection 3.1: Crushing Grapes
Crushing grapes is the first step in fermenting them into wine. This can be done by foot stomping or using a machine called a crusher-destemmer. The goal is to break open the grapes and release their juice.
### Subsection 3.2: Adding Yeast
Once the grapes have been crushed, yeast must be added to the mixture. The yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes and converts it into alcohol.
### Subsection 3.3: Monitoring Fermentation
During fermentation, the mixture must be monitored closely to ensure that it is progressing properly. The temperature and acidity levels must be maintained to ensure that the yeast can do its job effectively.
## Glossary
- Terrain: The land, including its physical features and natural resources, that a vineyard is grown in.
- Soil Composition: The type and makeup of the soil that a vineyard is grown in.
- Sunlight: The amount of light that a vineyard receives, which can affect the sugar content and acidity of the grapes.
- Climate: The weather patterns and overall environmental conditions in which a vineyard is grown, which can impact the quality of the grapes produced.
- Vines: The plants that produce grapes.
- Harvesting: The process of picking grapes from the vine when they have ripened.
- Fermentation: The process of converting the sugar in grapes into alcohol using yeast.
## Conclusion
In this lesson, we explored the importance of terrain in growing grapes for wine making and the process of growing and fermenting grapes into wine. We learned about the role of soil composition, sunlight, and climate in producing high-quality grapes and how to plant, tend, and harvest vines. Finally, we delved into the fermentation process, including crushing grapes, adding yeast, and monitoring fermentation. By understanding these processes, we can apply these skills to other areas of wine making and appreciate the art and science behind this ancient tradition.

Purchasing your first home can be overwhelming and terms can often be confusing. Prohibitive prices and land scarcity increasingly prevent first-time buyers from purchasing single-family dwellings, and buyers find themselves turning to the alternatives — condominiums, townhomes, among upon. This is an architectural term used to describe an attached row house. With a townhome, you physically own the ground under and around the structure - where with a condo the land is owned by the condo association. In addition, a townhome is self contained, has shared walls, street level access, and there are no other owners or units above or below your property.site.

Lesson: Understanding Real Estate Terminology

Introduction:
Real estate terminology can be confusing, especially for those who are new to the industry. In this lesson, we will explore the differences between condos, townhomes, and co-ops. We will also discuss the importance of understanding real estate terminology and how it can impact your decision-making process when buying or selling a property.

Section 1: Condos

Topic 1: Definition
A condo is a type of residential property where individuals own a unit within a building or complex. The owners of the units also collectively own the common areas and facilities such as hallways, lobbies, and swimming pools.

Topic 2: Advantages
- Condos are often more affordable than single-family homes.
- They require less maintenance than single-family homes since the common areas are maintained by the condo association.
- Condos are often located in urban areas, making them convenient for those who prefer city living.

Topic 3: Disadvantages
- Condo owners have limited control over their property since they must follow the rules set by the condo association.
- Condos may have restrictions on pets, noise levels, and other activities.
- Condos may have limited storage space since they are typically smaller than single-family homes.

Section 2: Townhomes

Topic 1: Definition
A townhome is a type of residential property that is typically part of a larger complex or community. Townhomes are usually multi-level and have shared walls with neighboring units.

Topic 2: Advantages
- Townhomes offer more privacy than condos since they typically have fewer neighbors and are not directly adjacent to each other.
- They often have more outdoor space than condos, such as a patio or small yard.
- Townhomes may have garages or driveways, which can be convenient for those who own cars.

Topic 3: Disadvantages
- Townhomes may have HOA fees, which can increase the cost of ownership.
- They may have less storage space than single-family homes or condos since they are typically smaller.
- Townhome owners may have limited control over their property since they must follow the rules set by the HOA.

Section 3: Co-ops

Topic 1: Definition
A co-op is a type of residential property where residents own shares in the building or complex rather than individual units. Co-ops are typically found in urban areas and are governed by a board of directors.

Topic 2: Advantages
- Co-ops may have lower monthly fees than condos since they do not have to maintain common areas like swimming pools and gyms.
- Co-op owners may have access to amenities such as doormen, rooftop gardens, and party rooms.
- Co-ops may have stricter screening processes for potential buyers, which can increase property values.

Topic 3: Disadvantages
- Co-op owners may have limited control over their property since they must follow the rules set by the board of directors.
- Co-op boards may be selective about who they allow to purchase units, which can make it difficult for some buyers to purchase a co-op.
- Co-op units may be harder to sell since potential buyers may have difficulty getting approved by the board.

Conclusion:
Understanding real estate terminology is essential when buying or selling a property. Condos, townhomes, and co-ops all have unique advantages and disadvantages that buyers should consider before making a decision. By understanding the differences between these types of properties, buyers can make informed decisions that meet their needs and preferences.

Glossary:
- Condo: A type of residential property where individuals own a unit within a building or complex.
- Townhome: A type of residential property that is typically part of a larger complex or community.
- Co-op: A type of residential property where residents own shares in the building or complex rather than individual units.

Q:

DDoS attack on /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Was tempted to post this on ServerFault.
Cloudflare enabled with SSL. Got 250k requests in past 2 hours, 192k were cached, the others weren't.
The page that's causing the issue for me is "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php".
The CPU is spiking like crazy here. Been manually adding IP's into server's firewall, but it's not good enough since the IP's keep changing. So site is down because it keeps getting crashed/timeout.
On a dedicated server, anything else I can do besides cloudflare? Have cpanel installed and can add extensions.
Thanks.

A:

Technically the admin-ajax.php file is supposed to be publicly available, but who puts a file like that in an admin directory? sigh.
In addition to using fail2ban (which is a great suggestion) you could try one or more of the following... in no particular order.

Look at the user agents used in the attack, if there is a commonality use Cloudflare's User-Agent Blocking.
Use use Cloudflare's javascript challenge on the firewall to require visitors from the attacking countries to complete a javascript captcha before being allowed through.
Block access to the file (temporarily?) using .htaccess
Use a Cloudflare page rule to redirect traffic to that URI to another (e.g. to www.yoursite.com).
Use Cloudflare Access to protect your entire /wp-admin directory.
Use Cloudflare's zone lockdown to restrict access to that URI to specific IP addresses.

Introduction:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a major threat to websites and online services. In this lesson, we will learn about DDoS attacks, their impact, and various defense strategies that can be used to protect against them.

What is a DDoS Attack?

A DDoS attack is an attempt to overwhelm a website or online service with a large amount of traffic or requests, with the intention of making it unavailable to users. These attacks are typically carried out by malicious actors using botnets, which are networks of infected devices that work together to flood the target with traffic.

Impact of DDoS Attacks:

DDoS attacks can have a significant impact on websites and online services, including:

- Loss of revenue: If a website or online service is unavailable, businesses may lose revenue from lost sales or customers.
- Damage to reputation: A website that is frequently unavailable due to DDoS attacks may be seen as unreliable or unprofessional.
- Legal consequences: In some cases, DDoS attacks may be considered a form of cyber-terrorism, leading to legal consequences for those responsible.

Defense Strategies:

There are several defense strategies that can be used to protect against DDoS attacks, including:

1. Use of firewalls: Firewalls can be used to block traffic from known attackers or suspicious IP addresses.
2. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): CDNs can be used to distribute traffic across multiple servers, reducing the impact of a single attack.
3. Cloud-based security solutions: Cloud-based security solutions can be used to protect against DDoS attacks by filtering out malicious traffic and routing legitimate traffic to the website or online service.
4. Load balancing: Load balancing can be used to distribute traffic evenly across multiple servers, reducing the impact of a single attack.
5. Fail2Ban: Fail2Ban is a software package that can be used to automatically ban IP addresses that are detected as attacking a website or online service.

Conclusion:

DDoS attacks are a major threat to websites and online services, but there are several defense strategies that can be used to protect against them. By implementing these strategies, businesses and organizations can reduce the impact of DDoS attacks and ensure that their online presence remains available and reliable.

text: Lebanon: Cabinet has approved a new draft election law. The Lebanese Cabinet has approved a new draft election law. The law will be voted on by the parliament this week and changes the electoral system from one based around seats reserved for specific religious sects to proportional representation. There have not been elections in Lebanon since 2009 and this reform is being seen as a way of overcoming this deadlock. However, there has also been an agreement that even following this law’s passage there will be no elections until May 2018 at the earliest.

Lesson: Understanding the Electoral System in Lebanon

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about the electoral system in Lebanon and how it has changed over time. We will explore the different aspects of the system and discuss the impact of these changes on the political landscape of the country.

**Section 1: The Electoral System in Lebanon**

The electoral system in Lebanon has undergone several changes since its independence in 1943. Initially, the country used a system of proportional representation, where seats were allocated based on the number of votes received by each party. However, in 1960, a new law was passed that introduced a confessionalist system, where seats were distributed based on the religious affiliation of the population. This meant that each religious group had a set number of seats reserved for them, regardless of their share of the vote.

**Section 2: Changes to the Electoral System**

In recent years, there has been a growing call for electoral reform in Lebanon. Many people feel that the current system is outdated and unfair, as it does not reflect the changing demographics of the country. In response to these calls, the government has proposed a new draft election law that would introduce a more proportional representation system. This means that seats would be allocated based on the number of votes received by each party, rather than being reserved for specific religious groups.

**Section 3: Impact of Electoral Reform**

The proposed changes to the electoral system in Lebanon are expected to have a significant impact on the political landscape of the country. By introducing a more proportional representation system, it is hoped that smaller parties and independent candidates will have a better chance of being elected. This could lead to a more diverse and representative parliament, with a greater range of views and opinions represented.

**Conclusion:** In conclusion, understanding the electoral system in Lebanon is crucial for anyone interested in the country's politics. By learning about the different aspects of the system and how they have changed over time, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the country. Whether you are a student, journalist, or simply someone who is interested in the world around you, this lesson provides a valuable introduction to the topic.
