Instead they told motorists they would have to use the 2016/17 levy-setting process to get some action.. “Now that process has been completed they are being told they have to face yet another consultation process starting now during the lead-up to Christmas.. “Nikki Kaye's new model is fundamentally flawed and unfair on people who can't afford to update their cars regularly, but she refuses to admit it.. “In fact ACC has advised the Minister: ‘The current vehicle risk rating system needs to be more accurate in respect of some vehicles. Allocating vehicles to their appropriate risk bands can be compromised when improvements are made to a model.’. “So the overcharging of thousands of car owners that began on April Fool’s Day continues,” Sue Moroney says.

Lesson: Understanding Insurance Rating Systems

Introduction:

Insurance rating systems are used by insurance companies to determine the premiums that drivers pay for their car insurance policies. These systems take into account various factors such as the make and model of the car, the driver's age and driving history, and other relevant information. However, sometimes these systems can be flawed, leading to overcharging of some drivers and undercharging of others. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of insurance rating systems and learn how to identify and address issues related to them.

Section 1: Understanding Insurance Rating Systems

Topic 1: How Insurance Rating Systems Work

Insurance rating systems are used by insurance companies to classify cars based on their risk of being involved in an accident. This classification is based on various factors such as the make and model of the car, its age, and its safety features. The insurance company then uses this classification to determine the premium that the driver will have to pay for their car insurance policy.

Topic 2: Common Issues with Insurance Rating Systems

One common issue with insurance rating systems is that they can be flawed, leading to overcharging of some drivers and undercharging of others. For example, if two cars have the same make and model but one is a few years older than the other, the older car may be classified as higher risk and charged a higher premium. Similarly, if a car has minor cosmetic damage, such as a small dent or scratch, it may be classified as higher risk even though it poses no increased risk of being involved in an accident.

Topic 3: Addressing Issues with Insurance Rating Systems

If you believe that your car has been incorrectly classified by your insurance company, there are steps you can take to address the issue. First, you should contact your insurance company and request a review of your car's classification. Provide any relevant information that you have, such as the car's make, model, and age, as well as any safety features it may have. If your insurance company refuses to change your car's classification, you may want to consider switching to a different insurance company that uses a more accurate rating system.

Section 2: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: Calculating Premiums

Let's say that you have a 2010 Honda Civic with no history of accidents or tickets. Based on the insurance rating system used by your insurance company, this car would be classified as a low-risk vehicle and assigned a premium of $500 per year. However, if you were to switch to a different insurance company that uses a more accurate rating system, your car may be classified as a medium-risk vehicle and assigned a premium of $750 per year.

Topic 2: Comparing Insurance Quotes

When comparing insurance quotes, it's important to make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. This means that you should make sure that the quotes you are comparing are based on the same insurance rating system. For example, if one quote is based on a more accurate rating system than the others, it may not be an apples-to-apples comparison.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions to Teach Critical Thinking

Topic 1: Is It Worth Switching Insurance Companies?

If you believe that your car has been incorrectly classified by your insurance company, you may be tempted to switch to a different insurance company that uses a more accurate rating system. However, you should carefully consider the pros and cons of doing so. On the one hand, switching insurance companies may result in a lower premium. On the other hand, you may have to pay a penalty for canceling your existing policy, and you may have to go through the hassle of finding a new insurance company and filling out paperwork.

Topic 2: How Can We Improve Insurance Rating Systems?

Insurance rating systems are not perfect, and there is always room for improvement. One way to improve these systems is to incorporate more data into the classification process. For example, insurance companies could use data from sensors in cars to monitor driving behavior and adjust premiums accordingly. Another approach is to use machine learning algorithms to analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns that can be used to more accurately classify cars.

Glossary:

- Insurance rating system: A system used by insurance companies to classify cars based on their risk of being involved in an accident.
- Premium: The amount of money that a driver pays for their car insurance policy.
- Classification: The process of assigning a car to a particular risk band based on various factors such as its make, model, and age.
- Flawed: Containing errors or defects that make it less accurate or effective.
- Overcharging: Charging more than the appropriate amount.
- Undercharging: Charging less than the appropriate amount.
- Accurate: Free from errors or defects, and therefore providing an accurate representation of reality.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, understanding insurance rating systems is important for anyone who wants to get the best deal on their car insurance policy. By learning about the basics of these systems and how to identify and address issues related to them, you can ensure that you are paying the right amount for your insurance coverage.


text: 3-D Reconstruction of DNA Filaments from Stereo Cryo-Electron Micrographs. We propose an algorithm for the 3-D reconstruction of DNA filaments from a pair of stereo cryo-electron micrographs. The underlying principle is to specify a 3-D model of a filament—described as a spline curve—and to fit it to the 2-D data using a snake-like algorithm. To drive the snake, we constructed a ridge-enhancing vector field for each of the images based on the maximum output of a bank of rotating matched filters. The magnitude of the field gives a confidence measure for the presence of a filament and the phase indicates its direction. We also propose a fast algorithm to perform the matched filtering. The snake algorithm starts with an initial curve (input by the user) and evolves it so that its projections on the viewing plane are in maximal agreement with the corresponding vector fields.. - EPFL-ARTICLE-211293. - doi:10.1109/ISBI.2002.1029328. - URL:. - URL:. - URL:.

Title: 3-D Reconstruction of DNA Filaments from Stereo Cryo-Electron Micrographs

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the 3-D reconstruction of DNA filaments from stereo cryo-electron micrographs. This is an important technique used in biology and medicine to study the structure and function of DNA molecules.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to understand the algorithm proposed by EPFL for 3-D reconstruction of DNA filaments from stereo cryo-electron micrographs. We will learn about the steps involved in the algorithm, the principles behind it, and how it can be applied to real-world scenarios.

Section 1: Introduction to 3-D Reconstruction of DNA Filaments

Topic 1.1: What is 3-D reconstruction?
3-D reconstruction is the process of creating a three-dimensional model of an object from two-dimensional data. In the context of biology and medicine, this technique is used to study the structure and function of molecules like DNA.

Topic 1.2: Why is 3-D reconstruction important for DNA filaments?
3-D reconstruction is important for DNA filaments because it allows scientists to study their structure and function in detail. This information can help us understand how DNA molecules interact with other molecules and how they are organized in cells.

Section 2: The Algorithm Proposed by EPFL

Topic 2.1: Overview of the algorithm
The algorithm proposed by EPFL involves specifying a 3-D model of a filament, fitting it to the 2-D data using a snake-like algorithm, and constructing a ridge-enhancing vector field for each of the images based on the maximum output of a bank of rotating matched filters.

Topic 2.2: Specifying a 3-D model of a filament
To specify a 3-D model of a filament, we need to choose a curve that represents the shape of the filament. This curve is usually called a spline curve and is described mathematically as a series of points connected by smooth curves.

Topic 2.3: Fitting the 3-D model to the 2-D data
Once we have specified a 3-D model of a filament, we need to fit it to the 2-D data obtained from stereo cryo-electron micrographs. This is done using a snake-like algorithm, which is a type of optimization algorithm that moves the curve in a way that minimizes the difference between the curve and the 2-D data.

Topic 2.4: Constructing a ridge-enhancing vector field
To drive the snake algorithm, we construct a ridge-enhancing vector field for each of the images based on the maximum output of a bank of rotating matched filters. The magnitude of the field gives a confidence measure for the presence of a filament and the phase indicates its direction.

Topic 2.5: Performing matched filtering
We also propose a fast algorithm to perform the matched filtering. This algorithm is used to compare the 2-D data obtained from stereo cryo-electron micrographs with the 3-D model of the filament.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Topic 3.1: Applying the algorithm to real-world scenarios
The algorithm proposed by EPFL can be applied to real-world scenarios where we want to study the structure and function of DNA filaments. For example, it can be used to study the organization of DNA molecules in cells or to investigate the interactions between DNA molecules and other proteins.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the algorithm proposed by EPFL for 3-D reconstruction of DNA filaments from stereo cryo-electron micrographs. We covered the steps involved in the algorithm, the principles behind it, and how it can be applied to real-world scenarios. By understanding this algorithm, we can contribute to advancements in biology and medicine that involve studying the structure and function of DNA molecules.

Lesson: Introduction to Machine Learning

**Introduction**
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on building systems that can learn from data and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. This means that instead of being told exactly what to do, a machine learning system can use patterns it has learned from previous experiences to make predictions or take actions.

**Core Value**
The core value of machine learning is that it allows us to create systems that can adapt and improve over time. By analyzing large amounts of data, these systems can identify patterns and make decisions based on those patterns, even if they have never seen them before.

**Lesson**
In this lesson, we will introduce you to the basics of machine learning. We will cover the following topics:

1. What is machine learning?
2. How does machine learning work?

**Section 1: What is machine learning?**
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. It is based on the idea that machines can learn from experience, just like humans do.

**Section 2: How does machine learning work?**
Machine learning works by analyzing large amounts of data and finding patterns in that data. These patterns are then used to make predictions or take actions. There are two main types of machine learning: supervised learning and unsupervised learning.

Supervised learning is when the machine learning system is given labeled training data, which it uses to learn how to make accurate predictions or classifications. Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, is when the system is given unlabeled data and must find patterns and relationships on its own.

**Section 3: Types of machine learning algorithms**
There are many different types of machine learning algorithms, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some of the most common types of algorithms include:

1. Decision trees: These algorithms use a tree-like structure to make decisions based on input data.
2. Random forests: These algorithms combine multiple decision trees to improve accuracy and reduce overfitting.
3. Support vector machines: These algorithms use a hyperplane to separate data points into different classes.
4. Neural networks: These algorithms are modeled after the human brain and consist of layers of interconnected nodes.

**Section 4: Applications of machine learning**
Machine learning has many applications across different industries. Some of the most common applications include:

1. Fraud detection: Machine learning algorithms can be used to detect fraudulent transactions or activities.
2. Image recognition: Machine learning algorithms can be trained to recognize objects or people in images.
3. Natural language processing: Machine learning algorithms can be used to understand and process human language.
4. Predictive modeling: Machine learning algorithms can be used to predict future events based on past data.

**Conclusion**
In this lesson, we introduced you to the basics of machine learning. We covered what it is, how it works, and some of its most common applications. Machine learning is an exciting field that has many potential uses across different industries. By learning the basics of machine learning, you can start exploring this fascinating area and see how it can be applied to solve real-world problems.

The heavy duty variable speed pump makes sure that system is coping with the variations in pressure. Reducing pump speed reduces pressure imparted to the fluid and this results in reducing the power consumption. Further to energy conservation there are also many benefits such as improved reliability, process performance and providing efficient flow control. The control system of RWHS Model L separates rainwater from the mains with the help of a break-tank with type AB airgap.

Lesson: Understanding Water Pumps and Their Uses

Introduction:
Water pumps are essential machinery used to move water from one place to another or to a specific height. They are commonly used in agriculture, construction, and industrial processes. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of water pumps, their uses, and how they work.

Section 1: Types of Water Pumps

There are several types of water pumps, each designed for specific purposes. The main types include:

1. Centrifugal Pumps: These pumps use centrifugal force to move water. They are widely used in agriculture, construction, and industry.

2. Positive Displacement Pumps: These pumps move a fixed volume of water with each revolution. They are often used in applications where a constant flow rate is required.

3. Submersible Pumps: These pumps are designed to be submerged in water and are commonly used in wells and other underwater applications.

4. Jet Pumps: These pumps use high-pressure jets of water to move fluids. They are often used in mining and oil drilling.

Section 2: How Water Pumps Work

All types of water pumps work on the same basic principle: they use energy to move water from one place to another. Here's a simplified explanation of how they work:

1. Centrifugal Pumps: A centrifugal pump consists of an impeller, a casing, and a diffuser. The impeller spins at high speed, creating centrifugal force that moves water outward. The water then flows into the casing, where it gains velocity and direction through the diffuser before being discharged.

2. Positive Displacement Pumps: Positive displacement pumps use a series of seals or vanes to create a closed chamber that traps a fixed volume of water. As the chamber rotates, it forces the water out through a discharge port.

3. Submersible Pumps: Submersible pumps consist of a motor and a pump impeller enclosed in a watertight casing. When the pump is submerged in water, the impeller starts to rotate, drawing water into the casing and forcing it out through a discharge port.

4. Jet Pumps: Jet pumps use a high-pressure jet of water to create a low-pressure area in the surrounding soil or rock. This causes the fluids to be drawn into the well, where they are mixed with water and then pumped to the surface.

Section 3: Uses of Water Pumps

Water pumps are used in a wide range of applications, including:

1. Agriculture: Water pumps are used to irrigate crops, move water from one field to another, and pump water for livestock.

2. Construction: Water pumps are used to excavate land, remove water from construction sites, and pump concrete.

3. Industry: Water pumps are used in manufacturing processes, wastewater treatment, and chemical processing.

4. Mining: Water pumps are used to dewater mines and transport water and other fluids.

5. Firefighting: Water pumps are used to pump water from lakes, rivers, or other sources to fight fires.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, water pumps are essential machinery used in various industries and applications. By understanding the different types of water pumps and their uses, we can better appreciate their importance in our daily lives.

Q:

Replace a value in a data frame based on a conditional (`if`) statement

In the R data frame coded for below, I would like to replace all of the times that B
appears with b.
junk <- data.frame(x <- rep(LETTERS[1:4], 3), y <- letters[1:12])
colnames(junk) <- c("nm", "val")

this provides:
   nm val
1   A   a
2   B   b
3   C   c
4   D   d
5   A   e
6   B   f
7   C   g
8   D   h
9   A   i
10  B   j
11  C   k
12  D   l

My initial attempt was to use a for and if statements like so:
for(i in junk$nm) if(i %in% "B") junk$nm <- "b"

but as I am sure you can see, this replaces ALL of the values of junk$nm with b.  I can see why this is doing this but I can't seem to get it to replace only those cases of junk$nm where the original value was B.
NOTE:  I managed to solve the problem with gsub but in the interest of learning R I still would like to know how to get my original approach to work (if it is possible)

A:

Easier to convert nm to characters and then make the change:
junk$nm <- as.character(junk$nm)
junk$nm[junk$nm == "B"] <- "b"

EDIT: And if indeed you need to maintain nm as factors, add this in the end:
junk$nm <- as.factor(junk$nm)

A:

another useful way to replace values
library(plyr)
junk$nm <- revalue(junk$nm, c("B"="b"))

A:

Short answer is:
junk$nm[junk$nm %in% "B"] <- "b"

Take a look at Index vectors in R Introduction (if you don't read it yet).

EDIT. As noticed in comments this solution works for character vectors so fail on your data.
For factor best way is to change level:
levels(junk$nm)[levels(junk$nm)=="B"] <- "b"

Lesson: Using Conditional Statements to Modify Data Frames in R

Introduction:

In this lesson, we will learn how to use conditional statements to modify data frames in R. We will use the `if` statement to check whether a certain condition is met, and then perform an action based on that condition. We will also use the `for` loop to iterate over a set of values and perform a specific action on each value.

Lesson Outline:

1. Introduction to Conditional Statements in R
2. Creating a Data Frame
3. Modifying a Data Frame using an If Statement
4. Modifying a Data Frame using a For Loop
5. Conclusion

1. Introduction to Conditional Statements in R:

Conditional statements are used to control the flow of a program based on certain conditions. In R, the `if` statement is used to check whether a certain condition is met. If the condition is true, then the code inside the `if` statement is executed. If the condition is false, then the code inside the `else` statement is executed.

2. Creating a Data Frame:

Let's create a data frame with two columns: "nm" and "val".

```R
junk <- data.frame(x = rep(LETTERS[1:4], 3), y = letters[1:12])
colnames(junk) <- c("nm", "val")
```

This creates a data frame with 12 rows and two columns: "nm" and "val".

3. Modifying a Data Frame using an If Statement:

We want to replace all occurrences of "B" in the "nm" column with "b". We can use an `if` statement to check whether the value in the "nm" column is "B", and then replace it with "b" if it is.

```R
junk$nm <- ifelse(junk$nm == "B", "b", junk$nm)
```

This will replace all occurrences of "B" with "b" in the "nm" column of the data frame "junk".

4. Modifying a Data Frame using a For Loop:

We can also use a `for` loop to iterate over each row in the data frame and check whether the value in the "nm" column is "B". If it is, we can replace it with "b".

```R
for(i in 1:nrow(junk)) {
  if(junk$nm[i] == "B") {
    junk$nm[i] <- "b"
  }
}
```

This will replace all occurrences of "B" with "b" in the "nm" column of the data frame "junk".

5. Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to use conditional statements to modify data frames in R. We used both the `if` statement and the `for` loop to iterate over a set of values and perform a specific action on each value. We also learned how to create a data frame and modify it using these statements.

Glossary:

- Data frame: a table consisting of rows and columns of data, where each column has a specific name and each row has a specific set of values.
- Conditional statement: a statement that checks whether a certain condition is met, and performs a specific action if the condition is true or false.
- If statement: a conditional statement that checks whether a certain condition is met, and performs a specific action if the condition is true.
- Else statement: a conditional statement that performs a specific action if the condition in the if statement is false.
- For loop: a loop that iterates over a set of values and performs a specific action on each value.

Exercises:

1. Create a data frame with three columns: "x", "y", and "z".
2. Modify the data frame by replacing all occurrences of "x" with "X".
3. Create a function that takes a data frame as input and modifies it by replacing all occurrences of "y" with "Y".
4. Use the function created in exercise 3 to modify a data frame with three columns: "a", "b", and "c".

## Chapter 1: What is Game Design?

**Introduction:** In this chapter, we will explore the concept of game design and its importance in creating a successful game. We will discuss what game design entails, the role of a game designer, and the process involved in creating a game.

**What is Game Design?**
Game design is the art of creating games. It involves the planning, development, and production of a game. A game designer is responsible for creating the rules, mechanics, and overall gameplay experience. They work closely with other members of the development team, such as programmers and artists, to bring their vision to life.

**The Role of a Game Designer**
The role of a game designer is to create an engaging and fun game that players will enjoy. They must consider the target audience, the game's genre, and the platform it will be played on. Game designers must also ensure that the game is balanced and challenging while ensuring that the game's mechanics are easy to learn but hard to master.

**The Process of Creating a Game**
Creating a game involves several stages, including pre-production, production, and post-production. During pre-production, game designers work on the game's concept, story, and mechanics. In production, they create prototypes and test them to refine the gameplay experience. Finally, during post-production, they polish the game and make any necessary changes before release.

**Questions for Discussion:**
1. What is the difference between game design and game development?
2. What are some of the challenges that game designers face when creating a game?
3. How does the game design process differ between different genres of games?

## Chapter 2: Mechanics and Balance

**Introduction:** In this chapter, we will explore the importance of mechanics and balance in game design. We will discuss what mechanics are, how they contribute to the gameplay experience, and why balance is essential in creating a fun and engaging game.

**What are Mechanics?**
Mechanics refer to the rules and systems that govern a game. They define how players interact with the game world and how they can achieve their goals. Mechanics can include gameplay elements such as movement, combat, and resource management.

**Why is Balance Important?**
Balance is crucial in game design because it ensures that the game is fair and challenging. A well-balanced game provides players with a sense of achievement while preventing them from becoming overpowered or frustrated. Balance also encourages strategic thinking and decision-making, which adds depth to the gameplay experience.

**Questions for Discussion:**
1. How do mechanics contribute to the gameplay experience?
2. What are some common mistakes that game designers make when creating mechanics?
3. How does balance affect the overall fun factor of a game?

## Chapter 3: Game Genres

**Introduction:** In this chapter, we will explore different game genres and their unique characteristics. We will discuss what makes each genre unique and how game designers tailor their designs to suit the specific needs of each genre.

**Game Genres**
There are many different types of games, each with its unique characteristics and gameplay experience. Some popular genres include action, adventure, puzzle, simulation, sports, and strategy. Each genre has its mechanics, storyline, and target audience.

**Designing for Different Genres**
Game designers must understand the specific requirements of each genre to create a successful game. For example, an action game requires fast-paced gameplay with quick reflexes, while a puzzle game requires strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.

**Questions for Discussion:**
1. What are some common characteristics of action games?
2. How do game designers tailor their designs to suit the needs of different genres?
3. What are some examples of popular game genres?

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we explored the concept of game design, its importance in creating a successful game, and the process involved in creating a game. We discussed the role of a game designer, the importance of mechanics and balance, and the unique characteristics of different game genres. By understanding these concepts, game designers can create engaging and fun games that appeal to a wide range of players.

A new ad campaign hopes to promote tolerance by showing world leaders kissing each other on the lips, including President Barack Obama locking lips with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Israel's and Palestine's leaders sharing a smooch.

The startling photos are part of the Benetton-founded UNHATE foundation, which "seeks to contribute to the creation of a new culture of tolerance, to combat hatred, building on Benetton's underpinning values," according to the campaign's website.

Besides the kissing images already mentioned, other images, which were created digitally, include Obama with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, France's Nicholas Sarkozy with Germany's Angela Merkel (the only male-female combo in the campaign), and Pope Benedict XVI kissing Islamic leader Ahmed al-Tayeb, Sheikh of the Al-Azzhar mosque.

According to Alessandro Benetton, executive deputy chairman of the group, the images are not meant to disrespect some of the most powerful people in the world.

"The images are very strong, but we have to send a strong message," Benetton said, according to the Times of India. "We are not wanting to be disrespectful of the leaders...we consider them 'conception figures' making a statement of brotherhood with a kiss."

The UNHATE campaign also has a video which shows men kissing each other after fighting, and Muslim women kissing each other clandestinely in the dark, among other kissing snippets.

For people who feel that the images are offensive, Benetton says the problem is with them – not the ads.

"Negative reactions will come from negative hearts," he said.

Benetton is no stranger to controversial ad campaigns. In 1991, the Italian clothing company released ads depicting a young nun in full habit kissing a Catholic priest. The Roman Catholic Church took Benetton to court, demanding that the 1,300 billboards be taken down, but the complaint was rejected, according to The New York Times.

Lesson: How to Determine Citizenship

Introduction:
Citizenship is an important concept in many countries around the world. It determines a person's rights and responsibilities within a society. In this lesson, we will learn how to determine citizenship and the factors that are considered when making such a determination.

Section 1: What is Citizenship?
Citizenship refers to the status of being a legally recognized member of a particular country or nation. It grants certain rights and privileges to individuals, such as the right to vote, travel freely, and access education and healthcare. Citizenship also comes with responsibilities, such as paying taxes and obeying the law.

Section 2: How is Citizenship Determined?
There are several ways in which citizenship can be determined. These include:

1. Birth: In many countries, citizenship is automatically granted to individuals born within the country's borders. This is known as jus soli, or the right of the soil.

2. Descent: Some countries grant citizenship to individuals whose parents are citizens of that country. This is known as jus sanguinis, or the right of blood.

3. Naturalization: Individuals who were not born in a country but have lived there for a certain period of time may be able to apply for citizenship through naturalization. This process typically involves passing a test on the country's history, language, and government.

4. Marriage: In some cases, individuals can gain citizenship by marrying a citizen of another country.

Section 3: Factors Considered When Determining Citizenship
When determining citizenship, several factors are taken into account. These include:

1. Parental status: If one or both parents are citizens of a country, their children may be granted citizenship.

2. Residency status: Individuals who have lived in a country for a certain period of time may be eligible for citizenship.

3. Marital status: In some cases, individuals who marry a citizen of another country may be granted citizenship.

4. Military service: In some countries, individuals who have served in the military may be granted citizenship.

Section 4: Real-World Examples
Let's consider the case of Hoda Muthana, an American woman who joined the Islamic State group in Syria. The US government has declared her not to be a citizen, despite having been born in New Jersey. The reason given is that her father was a Yemeni diplomat at the time of her birth, and therefore she did not qualify for automatic citizenship.

In conclusion, determining citizenship can be a complex process that takes into account various factors such as parental status, residency status, marital status, and military service. By understanding these factors, we can better understand how citizenship is determined and the implications it has on an individual's rights and responsibilities within society.

Glossary:
- Jus soli: Right of the soil
- Jus sanguinis: Right of blood
- Naturalization: Process of becoming a citizen
- Citizenship: Status of being a legally recognized member of a particular country or nation.
