Q:

Can't write to /usr even with sudo

Here's my problem:
sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar

...should let me run as root and modify /usr & /usr/share directories, but I get this:
Below is a suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation.  To
change individual locations, type the number in front of the
directory.  Type 'all' to change all of them or simply press Enter to
accept these locations.

 1. Installation base ($prefix)                   : /usr
 2. Temporary directory for processing            : /tmp/pear/install
 3. Temporary directory for downloads             : /tmp/pear/install
 4. Binaries directory                            : /usr/bin
 5. PHP code directory ($php_dir)                 : /usr/share/pear
 6. Documentation directory                       : /usr/docs

12. Name of configuration file                    : /private/etc/pear.conf

1-12, 'all' or Enter to continue:
Unable to create PHP code directory ($php_dir) /usr/share/pear.
Run this script as root or pick another location.

Why is sudo failing to give me root privilege? *Note: *I am in the wheel group, though that should not have anything with this funny sudo behaviour.
Gabbar-Singh:~ anadi$ id anadi
uid=XXX(anadi) gid=XX(staff) groups=XX(staff),0(wheel)

A:

You are trying to install in /usr which is protected by SIP (System Integrity Protection), a feature introduced with 10.11 (see
What is the "rootless" feature in El Capitan, really? for details).
Use /usr/local instead, which is the location intended for user-side installations.

Lesson: How to Use sudo to Modify System Directories

### Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn how to use the `sudo` command to modify system directories. We will cover the following topics:

1. What is `sudo`?
2. When do we need to use `sudo`?
3. How do we use `sudo`?
4. Common mistakes to avoid when using `sudo`

### What is `sudo`?

`sudo` is a command-line tool that allows users to run programs as root or another user without having to remember and enter their password each time. It is commonly used to manage system security and to make system-wide changes.

### When do we need to use `sudo`?

We need to use `sudo` when we want to perform tasks that require root privileges, such as modifying system files, installing software, or configuring system settings.

### How do we use `sudo`?

To use `sudo`, we must first add our user account to the `sudoers` file. This can be done by adding our username to the `sudo` group. Once we have been added to the `sudo` group, we can use the `sudo` command to run programs as root. The syntax for `sudo` is as follows:

```
sudo [command] [arguments]
```

For example, to install a package using `sudo`, we would type:

```
sudo apt-get install package-name
```

### Common mistakes to avoid when using `sudo`

1. Using `sudo` without being added to the `sudo` group: If we try to use `sudo` without being added to the `sudo` group, we will receive an error message indicating that we are not authorized to use the command.

2. Forgetting to specify the command after `sudo`: If we forget to specify the command after `sudo`, we will receive an error message indicating that we must provide a command to execute.

3. Using `sudo` unnecessarily: Using `sudo` unnecessarily can lead to security vulnerabilities, so it is important to only use it when absolutely necessary.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned how to use the `sudo` command to modify system directories. We covered what `sudo` is, when we need to use it, how to use it, and common mistakes to avoid when using it. By following these guidelines, we can ensure that we are using `sudo` safely and effectively.

In a first, researchers at Oxford University have watched infants as young as a day old as their brains process a light prodding of their feet. The results confirm that yes, babies do indeed feel pain, and that they process it similarly to adults. Until as recently as the 1980s, researchers assumed newborns did not have fully developed pain receptors, and believed that any responses babies had to pokes or pricks were merely muscular reactions. But new research published Tuesday morning changes that.

Taking advantage of the fact that newborns less than a week old tend to sleep through anything, Rebeccah Slater, an associate professor of pediatric neuroimaging at Oxford, and her colleagues placed 10 infants who were 1-6 days old in an fMRI machine. The researchers, who reported their findings in eLife, observed which areas of the infants’ brains became more active, or consumed more oxygen, as the scientists lightly poked their feet. They did the same for adults and compared the brain images.

In adult brains, 20 regions were activated by the painful stimulus, and the newborns shared 18 of these. “The infant’s brain is much more developed than I was expecting,” says Slater. “I might have thought that some information might have gone to the sensory areas of the brain — telling the baby something was happening on the foot, for example — but I didn’t necessarily think it would go to areas more commonly involved in emotional processing such as the anterior cingular cortex, which is thought be involved in the unpleasantness associated with an experience.”

Even at birth, then, a baby’s brain possesses the foundation for quickly evaluating anything he or she experiences, including painful stimuli. “I hope this provides incentive to more researchers to find better ways of measuring pain in babies, and prioritize the importance of providing the best pain relief possible in children,” says Slater.

Slater found that newborn brains are still immature in some ways, however. Any stimulus, whether it’s a painful one or a sensory one such as a smell, tends to activate widespread regions of the brain. That signals that the baby’s brain is still trying to learn what’s what and distinguish different stimuli. The poking triggered even the newborns’ olfactory system, for example, even though the sensation had nothing to do with smell.

Second, babies tend to register all stimuli as having the same intensity. Even light pokes “feel” the same as harder ones, reflecting their still inexperienced system in distinguishing levels of activation.

But the fact that they are experiencing pain in almost the same ways as adults do is very revealing. Now that there’s evidence that the brains of babies do indeed process pain, that may change the way doctors treat newborns, especially those who are premature or need extra medical attention in the neonatal intensive care unit. In a recent study, scientists tallied an average of a dozen procedures including needle sticks that babies experienced every day; more than 60% of those infants did not receive any pain medication, either in the form of a topical numbing cream or other pain relief. Having these experiences may make these babies more sensitive to pain later in life, says Slater. A study of circumcised baby boys, for example, found that those who received pain relief felt less pain when getting vaccinations three months later than those who didn’t receive any pain medication.

“Now that we have seen for the first time what is happening in babies’ brains while they experience something mildly painful,” says Slater, “there should be a big drive to try to treat pain in these children, especially those having a high number of procedures performed in their early days.”

Lesson: Introduction to Neuroscience - The Study of the Brain

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of neuroscience, the study of the brain. We will explore the structure and function of the brain, and how it processes information.

**Section 1: Introduction to Neuroscience**

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all bodily functions, including movement, sensation, thought, and emotion.

**Section 2: The Structure of the Brain**

The brain is divided into several regions, each with a specific function. The cerebrum, for example, is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, learning, and problem-solving. The cerebellum controls coordination and balance. The brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls basic functions such as breathing and heart rate.

**Section 3: How the Brain Processes Information**

The brain processes information through a complex network of neurons. Neurons communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a group of neurons fire together, it forms a neural network that processes information.

**Section 4: The Role of Neuroscience in Understanding Pain**

Recent research has shown that even newborns can experience pain. Scientists use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study how the brain processes pain. They found that newborns have similar brain activity when experiencing pain as adults do.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of neuroscience, including the structure and function of the brain and how it processes information. We also explored the role of neuroscience in understanding pain. By studying the brain, we can better understand how it works and how to treat conditions that affect it.

**Glossary:**
- **Nervous system:** The network of organs and cells that control and coordinate bodily functions.
- **Cerebrum:** The largest part of the brain, responsible for higher cognitive functions.
- **Cerebellum:** A part of the brain that controls coordination and balance.
- **Brainstem:** The part of the brain that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls basic functions.
- **Neurons:** Cells in the nervous system that transmit electrical and chemical signals.
- **Neural network:** A group of neurons that fire together to process information.
- **fMRI:** A technique used to study brain activity by measuring changes in blood flow while a person is inside an MRI machine.
- **Pain:** An unpleasant sensation caused by injury or illness.

Q:

Maximum order of integers coprime to a prime $p$

The following is a lemma I read online, but I don't understand part of the proof.
Let $d$ be the maximum possible order among integers $a$ prime to $p$. Then for any integer $a$ not divisible by $p$, the order of $a$ divides $d$.
Proof: Let $b$ be an element of order $d$, let $k$ be the order of $a$, and let $g=\gcd(k,d)$. Then $a^g$ has order $k/(k,g)=k/g$, and $k/g$ is relatively prime to $d$. Therefore $ba^g$ has order $d\cdot k/g$, which by maximality of $d$ implies that $k/g=1$. Hence $k|d$.
The one part I don't understand is how $k/g$ and $d$ are relatively prime. If I take $d=6$, $k=4$, $g=2$, then $k/g$ and $d$ are not relatively prime. However, I've gone through a few cases for small primes, and such a situation as never arisen, so there must be some constraints on which values $k$ and $d$ can take. Could someone please explain this?

A:

Below is the key theorem as it applies to arbitrary finite abelian groups. See my post here for an example of how it is applied to deduce the more general result that  a finite multiplicative subgroup of a domain is cyclic. The lemma is famous as "Herstein's hardest problem" - see the note below.
THEOREM  $\rm\quad\quad\: maxord(G)\ =\ expt(G)\ $ for a finite abelian group $\rm\: G\:,\ $ i.e.
$\rm\quad\ \ max\ \{ ord(g) : \: g \in G\}\ =\  min\ \{ n>0 : \: g^n = 1\ \:\forall\ g \in G\}$
Proof $\ \:$ By the lemma below, $\rm\: S\: =\: \{ ord(g) : \:g \in G \}$  is a finite
set of naturals closed under$\rm\ lcm\:$.
Hence every elt $\rm\ s \in S\:$  is a
divisor of the max elt $\rm\: m\: $  [else  $\rm\: lcm(s,m) > m\:$],$\ $ so $\rm\ m = expt(G)\:$.
LEMMA $\ $ A finite abelian group $\rm\:G\:$ has an  lcm-closed  order set, i.e. with $\rm\: o(X) = $ order of $\rm\: X$
$\rm\quad\quad\quad\quad\ \ X,Y \in G\ \Rightarrow\ \exists\ Z \in G:\  o(Z) = lcm(o(X),o(Y))$
Proof$\ \ $  By induction on  $\rm o(X)\: o(Y)\:.\ $ If it's $\:1\:$ then trivially $\rm\:Z = 1\:$. $\ $ Otherwise
write  $\rm\ o(X) =\: AP,\: \ o(Y) = BP',\ \ P'|P = p^m > 1\:,\ $  prime $\rm\: p\:$ coprime to $\rm\: A,B$
Then  $\rm\: o(X^P) = A,\ o(Y^{P'}) = B\:.\ $  By induction there's a $\rm\: Z\:$ with $\rm \: o(Z) = lcm(A,B)$
so  $\rm\ o(X^A\: Z)\: =\: P\ lcm(A,B)\: =\: lcm(AP,BP')\: =\: lcm(o(X),o(Y))\:$.
NOTE $\ \ $ This lemma was presented as problem 2.5.11, p. 41 in the first edition of Herstein's popular textbook "Topics in Algebra". In the 2nd edition Herstein added the following note (problem 2.5.26, p.48)

Don't be discouraged if you don't get this problem with what you know of group theory up to this stage. I don't know anybody, including myself, who has done it subject to the restriction of using material developed so far in the text.  But it is fun to try. I've had more correspondence about this problem than about any other point in the whole book."

Lesson: Finding the Maximum Order of Integers Coprime to a Prime

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the maximum order of integers coprime to a prime. We will start by understanding what it means for two numbers to be coprime, and then we will explore the concept of the order of an element in a group. Finally, we will use these concepts to find the maximum order of integers coprime to a prime.

What are coprime numbers?
Two integers are coprime if their greatest common divisor is 1. In other words, if the only multiple of one integer that is also a multiple of the other integer is 1. For example, 2 and 5 are coprime because their greatest common divisor is 1.

What is the order of an element in a group?
The order of an element in a group is the smallest positive integer n such that applying the operation of the group to the element n times results in the identity element of the group. For example, in the group of integers modulo 7 under addition, the order of the element 3 is 4 because 3+1, 3+2, 3+3, and 3+4 are all different elements of the group, but 3+5 = 4, which is the identity element.

What is the maximum order of integers coprime to a prime?
Let d be the maximum possible order among integers a prime to p. Then for any integer a not divisible by p, the order of a divides d.

Proof: Let b be an element of order d, let k be the order of a, and let g = gcd(k, d). Then a^g has order k/(k, g) = k/g, and k/g is relatively prime to d. Therefore ba^g has order d*k/g, which by maximality of d implies that k/g = 1. Hence k | d.

The one part I don't understand is how k/g and d are relatively prime. If I take d = 6, k = 4, g = 2, then k/g and d are not relatively prime. However, I've gone through a few cases for small primes, and such a situation as never arisen, so there must be some constraints on which values k and d can take. Could someone please explain this?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the maximum order of integers coprime to a prime. We started by understanding what it means for two numbers to be coprime and then explored the concept of the order of an element in a group. Finally, we used these concepts to find the maximum order of integers coprime to a prime.

Glossary:
- Coprime numbers: Two integers that have no common divisors other than 1.
- Order of an element in a group: The smallest positive integer n such that applying the operation of the group to the element n times results in the identity element of the group.
- Maximum order of integers coprime to a prime: The largest possible order of integers that are not divisible by a given prime number.

Lesson Title: Nutrition Therapy for Scoliosis Patients

## Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of nutrition therapy for scoliosis patients. We will explore the five distinct nutrient therapy challenges that scoliosis patients face and how they can be addressed through non-drug nutrient therapies. We will also learn about the benefits of these therapies and how they can help improve the quality of life for scoliosis patients.

## Section 1: Nutrition Therapy for Scoliosis Patients
Nutrition therapy is an essential component of managing scoliosis. It involves the use of nutrients to support, re-balance, replace, or activate nutrients commonly found to be deficient in scoliosis patient populations. This therapy can help improve the symptoms of scoliosis and reduce the need for medication.

## Section 2: Five Distinct Nutrient Therapy Challenges for Scoliosis Patients
There are five distinct nutrient therapy challenges that scoliosis patients face:

1. For Kids: Children with scoliosis may require additional nutrients to support growth and development. These may include vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that support bone health, such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.

2. For Adults: Adults with scoliosis may require additional nutrients to support bone health and reduce inflammation. These may include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

3. Pain Management: Many scoliosis patients experience pain, which can be managed through nutritional therapies. These may include turmeric, ginger, and other anti-inflammatory supplements.

4. Bone Health: Scoliosis patients may have weak bones, which can be addressed through nutritional therapies. These may include vitamin K, boron, and other bone-building supplements.

5. Menopause Relief: Women with scoliosis may experience menopausal symptoms, which can be addressed through nutritional therapies. These may include black cohosh, soy isoflavones, and other hormone-balancing supplements.

## Section 3: Benefits of Nutrition Therapy for Scoliosis Patients
Nutrition therapy can provide several benefits for scoliosis patients, including:

1. Improved symptom management: Nutrition therapy can help reduce pain, inflammation, and other symptoms associated with scoliosis.

2. Better bone health: Nutrition therapy can help improve bone density and strength, reducing the risk of fractures and other complications.

3. Enhanced quality of life: By addressing the nutrient therapy challenges specific to scoliosis patients, nutrition therapy can improve overall health and well-being, allowing patients to live their best lives with scoliosis.

## Glossary
- Scoliosis: A medical condition characterized by an abnormal curve of the spine.
- Nutrient therapy: The use of nutrients to support, re-balance, replace, or activate nutrients commonly found to be deficient in patient populations.
- Non-drug nutrient therapies: Nutrition therapies that do not involve the use of medication.

## Conclusion
Nutrition therapy is an essential component of managing scoliosis. By addressing the five distinct nutrient therapy challenges specific to scoliosis patients, nutrition therapy can improve overall health and well-being, allowing patients to live their best lives with scoliosis.

Balmoral, New Zealand

Balmoral is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand that is bordered by Mount Eden, Epsom, Mount Roskill and Sandringham and is located approximately 5 km from the centre of Auckland. It was named around the turn of the 20th century and derives its name from Balmoral Castle, the Scottish country residence of the Royal family. Much of the housing in the area is from the 1920s and 1930s, often in the Californian Bungalow style. Balmoral was part of Mount Eden Borough Council which became a part of Auckland City in 1989. In November 2010, the area was included into the Albert-Eden-Roskill ward of the new Auckland Council.

A distinctive feature is the numerous Asian restaurants that are located in the Balmoral shopping area and the surrounding Dominion Road intersection.

Notable buildings

 Methodist Church - Dominion Road. Red Brick Gothic church built in 1926 to the designs of Arthur White.
 Symphonia Hall - Cnr Dominion Road and St Albans Avenue. Former Cinema now used as the headquarter of the auckland Philamonia Orchestra.
 Mont-le-Grand Flats - Cnr Dominion and Mont le Grand Roads. A 1930s block of flats. Concrete construction with marsailles tile roof & metal Critical windows.
 St Albans Church. 443 Dominion Road. Anglican Church - part of a worldwide association of congregations associated with St Alban - one of the first Christian martyrs in Britain. The wooden portion of this structure was built in 1884, the brick portion was added in 1905. Several congregations worship here to help make up the twelve acts of public worship that occur throughout every week. These include Hindi speaking Anglicans in Tikanga Pasifika whose Parish is called Anugrah (Grace), also the Eritrean Orthodox originating from North Africa.
 Russian Orthodox Church of the Resurrection (ROCOR) 447A Dominion Rd, Mt Eden, Auckland, New Zealand. Small wooden structure distinguished by the onion dome typical of old Russian architecture.
 The Mount Eden War Memorial Hall - 489 Dominion Road. 1957 modernist building in cream brick. In December 2010, Auckland Theatre Company moved into the lower ground floor of the Hall, refitting it to include their offices and two rehearsal spaces.
 Potter's Park - corner of  Dominion and Balmoral Roads. Named after Frederick Potter, one of Balmoral's Victorian landowners who gifted a piece of land for the community.
 The Christmas Tree House - 112 Balmoral Road. 19th century wooden house standing on a very large flat open property surrounded by scoria rock walls. This land is used to grow Xmas trees creating a slightly surreal effect of a white Victorian house in a perpetually unchanging monochrome green landscape. The last remaining example of the open 'empty' landscape which existed here before the 20th century suburban development swamped the area.
 Paddington Square - 149 - 157  Balmoral Road. 1970s development of town Houses on the site of an Edwardian Factory complex.
 The Capitol Picture Theatre - 614 Dominion Road. A 1920s cinema built in the neo-Greek style. During the 1980s it was one of Auckland's most popular art film venues, known as "Charlie Greys". In the late 1990s it was reduced in size and a portion of the auditorium became an indoor climbing venue. The rest of the building still operates as a cinema, and after years of screening mainly Indian films, it has been refurbished and is called the Capitol Cinema again.
 Balmoral Baptist Church. 682 Dominion Road. Cnr Dominion and Queens Road. 1960s modernist building in concrete and red brick.
 Brazier Bookshop. 714 Dominion Road. Bookshop run by the parents of Graham Brazier-New Zealand musician
 Church of the Nazarene. 675 Dominion Road. Cnr Dominion Road and Telford Avenue.
 Cheapside - 727 and 771 Dominion Road. A pair of 1920s block of shops in the Spanish Mission style.

Education

The usually unflappable Hillary Clinton was filmed snapping at a Greenpeace activist in a tense exchange over fossil fuel contributions after a campaign rally in New York on Thursday.

The activist asked Clinton if she would reject money from oil and gas interests, to which the candidate flatly denied that she had received any money from fossil fuel companies for her campaign, saying that she has only accepted dollars from individuals who work for those corporations.

Cell phone video of the exchange also showed a visibly irate Clinton accusing the Sanders campaign of spreading lies about her connections to the fossil fuel industry. "I am so sick -- I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me," she said.

On Thursday, the Clinton campaign reiterated those claims in a statement claiming the secretary "has not taken a dollar from oil and gas industry PACs or corporations. The simple fact is that the Sanders campaign is misleading voters with their attacks."

But Clinton's statement itself is also misleading. Candidates' campaigns cannot receive money directly from corporations. Only super PACs, which can spend unlimited amounts on behalf of candidates and significantly boost their runs for the White House, can take in those funds directly.

It's true that neither Clinton's campaign nor the super PAC supporting her have taken contributions directly from fossil fuel companies. But they have received donations from employees and lobbyists in the industry. As VICE News reported earlier this month, individuals with significant fossil fuel interests have pumped $3.25 million, or approximately one in every 15 dollars donated to Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting Clinton, this election cycle. Sanders does not have a super PAC.

Both Democratic candidates have taken direct contributions from employees of fossil fuel companies this cycle. Clinton's campaign has received some $307,000 from these employees, while Bernie Sanders' campaign has taken in more than $54,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The Clinton campaign is differentiating workers and lobbyists in the fossil fuel industry from the companies themselves, arguing that these are simply individuals who have their own political motivations and operate independently from their employers.

On Thursday evening, the Sanders campaign responded to video of the exchange between Clinton and Greenpeace activist Eva Resnick-Day, highlighting the amount of contributions from fossil fuel lobbyists and bundlers to Clinton's super PAC.

"The truth is that Secretary Clinton has relied heavily on funds from lobbyists working for the oil, gas and coal industry," Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs wrote in an email.

But Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill pointed to Sanders' own contributions from fossil fuel employees and took issue with the Sanders campaign conflating lobbyists and employees with the fossil fuel industry in general.

"The money in question is from individuals who work for these companies," Merrill said in a statement. "By the same metric, Bernie Sanders has taken more than $50,000 on this campaign from individuals working for oil and gas companies. Assuming they don't believe their own candidate is bought by the fossil fuel industry, they should stop the false attacks and do what they've claimed the campaign is about: debating the issues."

Greenpeace USA, a nonpartisan environmental group, says that the role of special interests in politics is problematic. The group has followed the influx of campaign funds from fossil fuel lobbyists and employees to all of the candidates this cycle, focusing in particular on the Clinton campaign and the pro-Clinton super PAC in recent months. Greenpeace has staged protests with local activists at several Clinton rallies. On Tuesday night around 50 activists protested outside a Clinton fundraiser on New York's Upper East Side, demanding that Clinton come out to speak to them about taking fossil fuel donations.

The organization argues that individuals with significant interests in fossil fuels are still capable of influencing campaigns and candidates in a similar way to corporations through direct or indirect contributions.

"Because of nature of super PACs, we don't know what these donors are being promised or what these donors want for their cash," Jesse Coleman, a researcher for Greenpeace, told VICE News earlier this month.

The testy exchange with Greenpeace activist Resnick-Day came after a group of Sanders supporters had interrupted Clinton at the same rally at SUNY Purchase by staging a walkout. As the students left the room, Clinton said she regretted that they did not "want to hear the contrast between my experience, my plans, my vision, what I know I can get done and what my opponent is promising."

Greenpeace emphasized in a statement on Thursday that the environmental group has not endorsed any campaign in 2016 and denied any links between Resnick-Day and the Sanders campaign.

"Secretary Clinton is conflating Greenpeace with the Sanders campaign, but we are an independent organization, and our research team has assessed the contributions to all Presidential candidates," Greenpeace Democracy Campaign Director Molly Dorozenski said. "We have not and will not endorse candidates."

Last year, Greenpeace launched a campaign, which targeted fossil fuel money in the 2016 campaigns and asked Republican and Democratic candidates to sign a pledge rejecting direct and indirect donations from the sector. Sanders was the only candidate who signed the pledge.

On Thursday, Greenpeace restated its call for Clinton to sign onto the pledge. "We would welcome a statement from Clinton saying that she plans to stop taking this money going forward to prove to young people like Eva that she's listening to them, not her biggest donors," the group said in a statement.

Clinton's campaign has said that the candidate has never changed any of her positions or policy based on contributions from corporations, whether from Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry, or otherwise. Both Sanders and Clinton have pledged to reverse Citizens United, the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that allowed unlimited spending by corporations in political campaigns, if they win the presidency.

Lesson: Understanding Political Campaign Funding

Introduction:
Political campaigns require a lot of funding to run effective advertising, organize events, and reach out to potential voters. In this lesson, we will explore how political campaigns are funded, the role of fossil fuel industries, and the importance of transparency in campaign finance.

Section 1: How are Political Campaigns Funded?

Political campaigns are funded by a combination of individual contributions, political action committees (PACs), and other organizations. Candidates can also receive public funds in the form of matching funds, but this is only available to candidates who meet certain requirements.

Section 2: The Role of Fossil Fuel Industries in Political Campaigns

Fossil fuel industries such as oil and gas companies have been known to contribute significant amounts of money to political campaigns. They do this to influence policy decisions that affect their businesses. For example, they may contribute to campaigns of candidates who support policies that promote the use of fossil fuels.

Section 3: Importance of Transparency in Campaign Finance

Transparency in campaign finance is crucial to ensure that the public knows who is contributing to political campaigns and how much they are contributing. This helps prevent corruption and ensures that elected officials are accountable to the people who voted them into office.

Section 4: Practice Questions

1. What is the difference between individual contributions and PAC contributions?
2. Why do fossil fuel industries contribute to political campaigns?
3. How does transparency in campaign finance help prevent corruption?

Section 5: Glossary

- Fossil fuel: A fuel such as coal, oil, or natural gas that is formed from remains of dead plants and animals
- PAC: A political action committee is a type of political committee that raises and spends money to advocate for or against candidates or ballot measures
- Transparency: The quality of being easy to see through, open, or honest

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about how political campaigns are funded, the role of fossil fuel industries in political campaigns, and the importance of transparency in campaign finance. We also practiced answering questions related to these topics. By understanding these concepts, we can better evaluate political campaigns and hold our elected officials accountable.

Lesson: How to Perform Multiple Summations in R

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to perform multiple summations in R. Multiple summations involve adding up elements of a sequence based on another sequence. This is a common operation in mathematics and programming. We will use the R programming language to perform these operations.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to learn how to perform multiple summations in R using the `combnk` function.

Lesson Outline:
1. Theoretical Concepts
2. Practical Examples
3. Real-World Scenarios
4. Glossary
5. Conclusion

Theoretical Concepts:
In R, we can perform multiple summations using the `combnk` function. This function takes two arguments: the first argument is the sequence to sum, and the second argument is the sequence to skip. The `combnk` function returns a vector containing the sum of the first `n` terms of the first sequence, where `n` is specified by the second sequence.

Practical Examples:
Let's perform a simple multiple summation using the `combnk` function. Suppose we have the following sequence:

```
x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
```

We want to sum every third element of this sequence. To do this, we can use the `combnk` function as follows:

```
y <- combnk(x, 3, 2)
```

This will give us the following result:

```
[1]  6  9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33
```

Now let's try another example. Suppose we have the following sequence:

```
x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
```

We want to sum every second element of this sequence, starting from the third element. To do this, we can use the `combnk` function as follows:

```
y <- combnk(x, 2, 3)
```

This will give us the following result:

```
[1]  3  6  9 12 15
```

Real-World Scenarios:
Let's consider a real-world scenario where we have the following data:

```
x <- c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)
y <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
```

We want to find the sum of `x` for each unique value of `y`. To do this, we can use the `combnk` function as follows:

```
z <- combnk(y, max(y), min(y))
```

This will give us the following result:

```
[1]  30  60 100
```

Glossary:
- `combnk`: A function in R that performs multiple summations by taking the first `n` terms of the first sequence specified by the second sequence.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to perform multiple summations in R using the `combnk` function. We covered theoretical concepts, practical examples, and real-world scenarios. We also provided a glossary of key terms. By mastering this skill, we can apply it to new problems involving multiple summations.

text: We have five applications to create this year, and a debate has arisen regarding how many SC's to create. Three of the applications relate to Operations; one to HR; one to IT. The three Operations applications are un-related to each other. When I read the documentation, it appears that we should be creating 5 SC's, one for each application, as none are related by functionality - they are NOT "functionally-related development objects". Development and implementation will take place at different times, as well.. So, the question: how do we determine when to create a new SC? What are the rules or guidelines to follow?

textbook:
Lesson: How to Determine When to Create a New Software Configuration (SC)
Introduction:
In software development, creating a new software configuration (SC) is an important decision that requires careful consideration. An SC is a complete set of software components that work together to perform a specific function. In this lesson, we will learn about the factors to consider when deciding whether to create a new SC or not.
Section 1: Factors to Consider When Creating a New SC
1. Functionality: The first factor to consider is the functionality of the applications. If the applications have similar functionalities, it may be more efficient to create a single SC that can be reused across multiple applications. However, if the applications have different functionalities, it may be necessary to create separate SCs for each application.
2. Time: The timing of the development and implementation of the applications is also an important factor. If the applications are being developed and implemented at different times, it may be more efficient to create separate SCs for each application.
3. Relatedness: The relatedness of the applications is another factor to consider. If the applications are related by functionality, it may be more efficient to create a single SC that can be reused across multiple applications. However, if the applications are not related by functionality, it may be necessary to create separate SCs for each application.
4. Complexity: The complexity of the applications is also an important factor to consider. If the applications are complex and require a lot of customization, it may be more efficient to create separate SCs for each application.
Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a real-world example. Suppose you are developing a web application that allows users to search for products. You have three different search algorithms that need to be implemented. Should you create a single SC for all three algorithms or create separate SCs for each algorithm?
Answer: It depends on the functionality of the algorithms. If the algorithms have similar functionalities, it may be more efficient to create a single SC that can be reused across multiple applications. However, if the algorithms have different functionalities, it may be necessary to create separate SCs for each algorithm.
Section 3: Self-Debating Discussion
Should we always create separate SCs for each application, even if they are not related by functionality? Why or why not?
Answer: No, we should not always create separate SCs for each application, even if they are not related by functionality. If the applications have similar functionalities, it may be more efficient to create a single SC that can be reused across multiple applications. This approach can save time and resources, and improve the overall quality of the software.
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the factors to consider when deciding whether to create a new SC or not. We also considered a real-world example and engaged in a self-debating discussion. By following these guidelines, we can make informed decisions about when to create a new SC and ensure that our software development process is efficient and effective.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Arrest Records

Introduction:
Arrest records are public documents that provide information about individuals who have been arrested, charged, or convicted of a crime. These records are important because they can provide insight into a person's criminal history and help people make informed decisions about their safety and security. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand arrest records.

Section 1: Understanding Arrest Records

Topic 1: What Information is Included in an Arrest Record?
- An arrest record typically includes the individual's name, date of birth, physical description, and booking photo.
- It also includes the date and location of the arrest, the charge(s) against the individual, and the name(s) of the arresting officer(s).
- Additionally, the record may include information about any previous convictions or pending cases against the individual.

Topic 2: How to Access Arrest Records
- Arrest records are typically maintained by local law enforcement agencies or county sheriff's offices.
- In some states, arrest records are available online through public databases or government websites.
- You may also be able to request an arrest record through a public records request or by visiting the agency that maintains the record.

Section 2: Reading and Understanding Arrest Records

Topic 1: Reading an Arrest Record
- Start by looking at the individual's personal information, such as their name, date of birth, and physical description.
- Next, check the date and location of the arrest to ensure that the record is for the correct individual and incident.
- Review the charge(s) against the individual and the name(s) of the arresting officer(s) to understand the nature of the arrest.
- If there are any previous convictions or pending cases listed, take note of these as well.

Topic 2: Understanding the Meaning of Terms Used in Arrest Records
- "Physical description" may include the individual's height, weight, hair color, eye color, and any distinguishing features such as tattoos or scars.
- "Booking photo" is a photo taken of the individual after they have been arrested and processed into the jail or prison system.
- "Charge(s)" refers to the crime(s) that the individual is accused of committing.
- "Arresting officer(s)" are the police officers who arrested the individual.
- "Previous convictions" refer to any prior criminal convictions that the individual has been sentenced for.
- "Pending cases" refer to any active legal proceedings against the individual.

Section 3: Analyzing and Interpreting Arrest Records

Topic 1: Analyzing an Arrest Record
- Consider the context and circumstances surrounding the arrest to determine if the information is accurate and reliable.
- Look for any discrepancies or inconsistencies in the record, such as incorrect dates or locations.
- Compare the arrest record with any additional information or evidence that you may have.

Topic 2: Interpreting the Meaning of Arrest Records
- An arrest does not necessarily mean that the individual is guilty of a crime. It simply means that they were detained and charged with a specific offense.
- An individual may be arrested multiple times for different offenses or on multiple occasions for the same offense.
- An arrest record may be expunged or sealed if the individual is found not guilty or if the charges are dropped.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding arrest records is an important skill for staying informed about public safety and security. By learning how to read and interpret these records, we can make better decisions about our own safety and the safety of those around us.

I’m sure you heard about this last week, but I thought it would be fitting for a Monday post, where I try to concentrate on social networking. This piece form the WSJ blogs sums it all up.

Nothing to really do with monitoring this time around, but it doesn’t mean parents shouldn’t be aware of how their kids are using social networks. It should also call to attention the fact that if the military deems social networks a security risk, how much freedom will you give your child on them before you start paying attention.

The U.S. Marines Corps, citing security concerns, has banned Facebook, MySpace and Twitter on its network, and the Pentagon said it is reviewing social-networking sites as it considers setting broader policies on their use.

The Marine ban formalizes an existing block on social-networking sites on its government computers, and it does not affect members’ personal use of the sites.

“These Internet sites in general are a proven haven for malicious actors and content and are particularly high risk due to information exposure, user-generated content and targeting by adversaries,” it said in a memo. “The very nature of social-networking sites creates a larger attack and exploitation window, exposes unnecessary information to adversaries and provides an easy conduit for information leakage,” heightening security risks. Marines will be able to apply for waivers for “mission-critical” needs, it noted.

“Obviously, we’re disappointed and a little surprised, in that they’re making a decision based on security, but they haven’t asked us for any kind of briefing” on existing security measures, said Barry Schnitt, a Facebook spokesman. “No one would suggest cutting off postal service to men and women overseas, but what they’re proposing is the 21st-century equivalent.”

Representatives from MySpace and Twitter didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Virtually every branch of the military has avidly promoted social media in recent months as a way of connecting with its members, prospective recruits and other young people. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has 4,501 Twitter followers (a recent tweet, on Sunday, is a response to a colleague).

Gen. David Petraeus has more than 6,800 Facebook fans, and other military leaders use the sites to share updates and photos with the public.

Meanwhile, Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn has ordered a review of the pros and cons of social-media sites to be completed by the end of the month. “We’re addressing the challenges from a security standpoint, but also the impact and the value that they have to the department to be able to communicate in a 21st century environment,” Bryan Whitman, a Pentagon spokesman, told the American Forces Press Service.

There are currently no department-wide bans, he said. “But as a department, we recognize the importance of taking a look at this issue, because there are legitimate security concerns.”

A debate is in full swing on the U.S. Army’s Facebook page, where commenters are responding to an article posted about the news. “I see OPSEC [operations security] violated on social networking sites almost every time I see them, so good on this note,” Sean Corcoran wrote. Other commenters also applauded the Marines’s move or said it won’t hinder anyone with a personal laptop.

But others said the sites serve an important role for soldiers stationed away from home. “We need this outlet. Sometimes this is the only way for friends or family to find out how we are doing on a deployment,” Richard Foreman wrote.

On the Army’s official blog, Army Live, Lindy Kyzer added to the discussion. “As a public affairs operator living in the Web 2.0 world, I’d love to see access to all social networking sites, on every government computer out there,” she wrote. “But, I’m a realist, rather than an optimist, and understand that we live a careful balance between wanting our soldiers to tell their story (read that again – yes, we want our soldiers to tell their story) and between needing to keep operations security (and therefore, our network’s security) paramount.”

Lesson: Social Networking Security Risks

Introduction:
Social networking has become a popular way for people to connect with each other online. However, it also poses security risks that can lead to identity theft, cyberbullying, and other negative consequences. In this lesson, we will explore the potential dangers of social networking and learn how to stay safe while using these platforms.

Section 1: Understanding the Risks
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow users to share information about themselves, communicate with others, and connect with friends and family. While these features can be fun and convenient, they also come with risks. Some of the potential dangers of social networking include:

1. Identity theft: Sharing personal information online can make it easier for criminals to steal your identity. For example, if you post your full name, birthdate, or social security number on your profile, someone could use that information to open bank accounts, credit cards, or other fraudulent activities in your name.

2. Cyberbullying: Social networking provides a platform for bullies to harass and threaten others anonymously. This can lead to emotional distress, depression, and even suicide.

3. Online predators: Social networking sites can attract predators who pretend to be someone else in order to gain trust and manipulate their victims. These predators may try to lure children and teenagers into meeting them in person or engaging in inappropriate behavior online.

4. Privacy violations: Many social networking sites collect large amounts of data about their users, including personal information, interests, and online activity. This data can be sold to advertisers or used to target users with specific ads or marketing campaigns.

5. Malware and viruses: Social networking sites can also be a source of malware and viruses. Clicking on links or downloading files from these sites can infect your computer or mobile device with malware that steals personal information or damages your system.

Section 2: Staying Safe
To minimize the risks associated with social networking, follow these safety tips:

1. Use strong passwords: Choose a unique password for each of your social networking accounts, and change them regularly. Avoid using personal information or common words as your password, and never share your passwords with anyone.

2. Lock down your privacy settings: Take advantage of the privacy settings offered by social networking sites. Only share information with people you trust, and limit the amount of personal information you make public.

3. Be wary of friend requests: Only accept friend requests from people you know in real life. Fake profiles are common on social networking sites, and accepting a request from a stranger could put you at risk.

4. Monitor your children's online activity: If you have children who use social networking sites, monitor their activity and set rules for what they can and cannot do online. Encourage them to report any suspicious behavior or messages to you immediately.

5. Keep your software up-to-date: Make sure your computer and mobile devices are protected with up-to-date anti-virus software and firewalls. Regularly update your operating system and applications to defend against known vulnerabilities.

Section 3: Real-World Examples
Let's look at some real-world examples of how social networking security risks can play out:

1. A teenager posts a status update on Facebook about going to a party at a friend's house. An online predator sees the update, creates a fake profile, and sends the teenager a message asking them to come to their house instead.

2. A woman shares a picture of herself on Instagram, tagged with her location at a coffee shop. A thief sees the picture, recognizes the location, and robs the coffee shop while she is there.

3. A man posts a complaint about his workplace on Twitter. His employer sees the tweet, assumes he is talking about them, and fires him for "negative publicity."

Conclusion:
Social networking can be a fun and useful tool for staying connected with others, but it also comes with risks. By understanding the potential dangers and taking steps to protect yourself, you can enjoy social networking safely and responsibly.

Lesson: Introduction to Health Insurance

## Section 1: What is Health Insurance?
Health insurance is a type of insurance that covers the costs of medical care. It is designed to protect individuals from high medical bills by providing coverage for a portion or all of the costs associated with medical care.

## Section 2: Importance of Health Insurance

Health insurance is an important financial safeguard for individuals and families. It helps to cover the costs of medical care, which can be very expensive. Without health insurance, individuals may be forced to pay for medical care out of pocket, which can be financially devastating.

## Section 3: Types of Health Insurance

There are several types of health insurance available, including:

1. Traditional fee-for-service insurance: This type of insurance allows individuals to choose their own doctors and hospitals, and the insurance company pays a portion of the costs.

2. Preferred provider organization (PPO) insurance: This type of insurance has a network of preferred providers, and individuals must use these providers to receive coverage. However, individuals can still see doctors outside of the network, but they will have to pay more.

3. Health maintenance organization (HMO) insurance: This type of insurance requires individuals to choose a primary care physician who oversees their care and makes referrals to specialists. Individuals must receive care from within the HMO network to receive coverage.

4. Point-of-service (POS) insurance: This type of insurance combines features of both PPO and HMO insurance. Individuals must choose a primary care physician, but they can also see doctors outside of the network for an additional cost.

## Section 4: How Health Insurance Works

Health insurance works by providing coverage for a portion or all of the costs associated with medical care. When an individual receives medical care, the provider sends a bill to the insurance company. The insurance company then determines how much of the bill it will cover and sends payment to the provider. The individual is responsible for any remaining balance.

## Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, health insurance is an important financial safeguard that helps individuals and families protect themselves from high medical bills. By understanding the different types of health insurance and how it works, individuals can make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage.
