text:
– In advance of Trump’s inauguration, we are announcing the release of the Formal Impeachment Petition . The Formal Impeachment Petition is a method for impeaching a President, Vice President, or any other power abusing federal official using a rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives (“Jefferson’s Manual”) . It was used to successfully impeach a judge in 1831. This document empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process. However, our organization is not currently suggesting any particular impeachable offense in regards to Donald Trump. Our previous version of this document was a PDF that people could download and send in themselves. This left us without the ability to track our progress toward impeaching any particular individual. We have released a new version of the document that can be filled out online , and will allow us to track the progress nationwide, and state-by-state , as individuals fill out the petition. Once a president, vice president, or federal judge takes office, this method is the only one available for citizens to have a direct impact on whether they are removed from office.

Why aren’t we suggesting an impeachable offense? First, we should point out that Impeach for Peace is nonpartisan, and we will make a version of this form available for each subsequent president upon inauguration. As an organization, we are interested in two main goals: empowering individuals to pursue accountability of power abusing government officials, and protecting impeachment as a legitimate tool toward this goal. And while people have rightly pointed out that Trump will likely be in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution as of the first day of his presidency, there are other considerations.

The truth is that every president since at least Reagan has committed some impeachable offense or another (some more egregious than others). The drone attacks (bombing another country without a declaration of war) that started under George W. Bush, and accelerated under Barack Obama easily fall under this category. However, since impeachment is conducted by Congress, it is inherently a political process. Therefore, the optics of how the process is pursued is important if we are to be successful in actually impeaching someone, as opposed to thoughtlessly pursuing impeachment irrespective of the damage we might be doing to the legitimacy of our cause. There is a difference between pursuing impeachment for partisan reasons, and for more legitimate ones. Therefore, Impeach for Peace advocates waiting until a government official commits an impeachable offense which is more broadly understood to be one for which a government official should be held accountable.

Despite the fact that some law experts have said that presidents can be impeached for behavior which occurred prior to their presidency, this is not widely understood or believed. Also, President Trump’s conflicts of interest have not yet resulted in a situation that is widely seen as being worthy of impeachment (we would be looking for, and probably will see a foreign official enriching Trump through Trump’s foreign business dealings in order to get preferential treatment while Trump is in office). Or, Trump could engage in some impeachable offense regarding his treatment of Muslim/Mexican immigrants, some military action, etc.

While many people are upset and afraid given the things Trump has said prior to taking office (his intent to pursue unconstitutional acts), we must nonetheless be patient until he actually engages in some egregious behavior. If we choose to pursue impeachment prior to then, we not only risk delegitimizing our efforts, but also teaching our fellow citizens that impeachment is a partisan tool only pursued for illegitimate reasons. We must protect the tool of impeachment for ourselves and future generations by maintaining the tool as a legitimate pursuit.

However, there is room for honest disagreement about what is and is not impeachable, and the exact appropriate time to pursue impeachment. Therefore, we are releasing this new version of the Formal Impeachment Petition now because we feel that citizens have the right to make their own decision. However, at this time, we are not suggesting any particular offenses on the online document, but allow you to fill in your own. If you’re interested in what merits an impeachable offense, read our article “ What is an Impeachable Offense? Can we Impeach Trump? .”

Lesson: How to Use Impeachment to Hold Powerful Officials Accountable

Introduction

Impeachment is a process used by the United States government to remove a federal official from office for committing a serious offense while in office. This process is outlined in the Constitution and has been used several times in American history. In this lesson, we will learn about the impeachment process and how it can be used to hold powerful officials accountable.

Section 1: Understanding Impeachment

Impeachment is a process used by the United States government to remove a federal official from office for committing a serious offense while in office. The Constitution outlines the process for impeaching a federal official, which involves the House of Representatives bringing charges against the official and the Senate holding a trial to determine if the official should be removed from office.

Section 2: The Impeachment Process

The impeachment process begins when the House of Representatives votes to bring charges against a federal official. These charges are called articles of impeachment. Once the articles of impeachment have been approved by the House, the trial moves to the Senate, where the official being impeached is tried. If the Senate finds the official guilty of the charges, they can vote to remove the official from office.

Section 3: Why Impeachment is Important

Impeachment is an important tool for holding powerful officials accountable for their actions. It ensures that no one is above the law and that even the highest officials in the land can be held responsible for their actions. Impeachment also serves as a check on the power of the executive branch, preventing the president or other officials from abusing their power.

Section 4: Examples of Impeachment

Impeachment has been used several times in American history. The most famous example is the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives for lying under oath about his relationship with a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky. The Senate later voted to acquit Clinton, meaning he was not removed from office.

Another example of impeachment is the impeachment of President Richard Nixon in the 1970s. Nixon was impeached for his role in the Watergate scandal, in which his administration was found to have committed multiple crimes, including burglary and wiretapping. Nixon resigned before the Senate could vote on his impeachment.

Section 5: How You Can Use Impeachment

You can use the knowledge of the impeachment process to hold powerful officials accountable for their actions. If you see an official committing a serious offense while in office, you can work with others to gather evidence and bring charges against them. You can also contact your representatives in Congress and urge them to support impeachment efforts.

Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the impeachment process and how it can be used to hold powerful officials accountable for their actions. We also learned about some examples of impeachment in American history and how you can use this knowledge to make a difference. By understanding the impeachment process, you can work to ensure that no one is above the law and that all officials are held accountable for their actions.

Q:

Dplyr conditional column ifelse with vector input

I am trying to use dplyr's new NSE language approach to create a conditional mutate, using a vector input. Where I am having trouble is setting the column equal to itself, see mwe below:
df <- data.frame("Name" = c(rep("A", 3), rep("B", 3), rep("C", 4)),
                 "X" = runif(1:10),
                 "Y" = runif(1:10)) %>%
    tbl_df() %>%
    mutate_if(is.factor, as.character)

ColToChange <- "Name"
ToChangeTo <- "Big"

Now, using the following:
df %>% mutate( !!ColToChange := ifelse(X >= 0.5 & Y >= 0.5, ToChangeTo, !!ColToChange))

Sets the ColToChange value to Name, not back to its original value. I am thus trying to use the syntax above to achieve this:
df %>% mutate( !!ColToChange := ifelse(X >= 0.5 & Y >= 0.5, ToChangeTo, Name))

But instead of Name, have it be the vector.

A:

You need to use rlang:sym to evaluate ColToChange as a symbol Name first, then evaluate it as a column with !!:
library(rlang); library(dplyr);

df %>% mutate(!!ColToChange := ifelse(X >= 0.5 & Y >= 0.5, ToChangeTo, !!sym(ColToChange)))

# A tibble: 10 x 3
#    Name          X         Y
#   <chr>      <dbl>     <dbl>
# 1     A 0.05593119 0.3586310
# 2     A 0.70024660 0.4258297
# 3   Big 0.95444388 0.7152358
# 4     B 0.45809482 0.5256475
# 5   Big 0.71348123 0.5114379
# 6     B 0.80382633 0.2665391
# 7   Big 0.99618062 0.5788778
# 8   Big 0.76520307 0.6558515
# 9     C 0.63928001 0.1972674
#10     C 0.29963517 0.5855646

A:

You can use the following code to achieve your goal:
```
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
library(rlang)
# Create a sample data frame
df <- data.frame("Name" = c(rep("A", 3), rep("B", 3), rep("C", 4)),
                 "X" = runif(1:10),
                 "Y" = runif(1:10)) %>%
    tbl_df()
# Define the vector input
vec_input <- c("A", "B", "C")
# Define the vector output
vec_output <- c("Big", "Small", "Medium")
# Define the function to be used in the mutate_if
my_func <- function(x) {
  if (x == "A") {
    return("Big")
  } else if (x == "B" | x == "C") {
    return("Small")
  } else {
    return("Medium")
  }
}
# Mutate the data frame using the vector input
df %>%
  mutate_if(is.factor, as.character) %>%
  mutate_at(vars(cols(df)), funs(my_func)) %>%
  mutate_at(vars(cols(df)), funs(function(x) {
    if (is.na(x)) {
      return(vec_input[match("A", vec_input)])
    } else {
      return(vec_output[match(x, vec_input)])
    }
  }))
```
In this example, we first define a vector input and output. Then, we define a function `my_func` that takes an `x` argument and returns the corresponding output based on the input. We then use `mutate_if` to convert all factors to characters and apply `my_func` to each column. Finally, we use `mutate_at` to apply a custom function to each row of the data frame, which checks whether the value is missing (i.e., `NA`) and, if so, sets it to the corresponding input in the vector. If the value is not missing, it sets it to the corresponding output in the vector.

text: The Torah tells us that Purim is a holiday that will never be forgotten – and thousands of years later, we’re still dressing up in costumes, reading the megillah, and celebrating with friends and family. But, how are we meant to relate to the Biblical story of Esther, thousands of years later? How does Queen Esther's story deepen our understanding what Purim means in a modern context?. In this series, Rabbi Fohrman teaches us that the real theme underlying Purim is the power of memory and how important the role of memory is in the process of repentance and reconciliation.

The Book of Esther tells the story of Queen Esther, a Jewish woman who lived in Shushan, the capital city of the Persian Empire. Esther was chosen by King Ahasuerus to be his queen after he banished his previous wife, Vashti, for refusing to obey him. Haman, the king's advisor, devised a plan to exterminate all the Jews in the empire, including Esther's uncle Mordecai. However, Esther revealed her identity to the king and exposed Haman's plot, leading to Haman's execution and the Jews' victory over their enemies.

Title: Happy Movember: Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

## Lesson Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of stepping outside our comfort zones and trying new things. We will explore the concept of Movember, a month-long event where men grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues. Through this example, we will discuss the benefits of taking risks and challenging ourselves.

## Section 1: Introduction to Movember
Movember is an annual event that takes place in November. During this month, men are encouraged to grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. The goal of Movember is to bring attention to these important issues and encourage men to take charge of their own health.

## Section 2: Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone
Stepping outside our comfort zones can be scary, but it is often necessary to grow and develop as individuals. Trying new things can help us discover new talents and interests, and it can also help us build confidence and resilience. In the case of Movember, growing a mustache may seem uncomfortable at first, but it can be a fun and rewarding experience.

## Section 3: Practical Examples
One practical example of stepping outside our comfort zones is trying a new sport or activity. This could be anything from rock climbing to dancing to playing a musical instrument. Another example is volunteering or fundraising for a cause we care about. These activities can be intimidating, but they can also be incredibly fulfilling.

## Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
Self-debating discussions are an important part of critical thinking. They help us examine our own beliefs and opinions and challenge them. For example, we could debate whether or not it is important for men to participate in Movember. Some arguments for and against this idea might include:

- Pro: Participating in Movember raises awareness for men's health issues and encourages men to take charge of their own health.
- Con: Not all men can grow mustaches, and some may feel excluded or uncomfortable participating in the event.

## Glossary
- Comfort zone: A place of familiarity and ease where we feel comfortable and secure.
- Movember: An annual event where men grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues.
- Critical thinking: The process of examining and evaluating information and ideas to make informed decisions.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, stepping outside our comfort zones and trying new things can be challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Whether it's growing a mustache for Movember or trying a new sport, these experiences can help us grow and develop as individuals. By challenging ourselves and pushing our boundaries, we can discover new talents and interests, build confidence and resilience, and make a positive impact on the world around us.

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Hair extensions are a popular beauty treatment that involves adding artificial hair strands to one's natural hair. There are several types of hair extensions, including clip-in, fusion, and tape-in extensions. In this lesson, we will focus on tape-in extensions, which are a popular semi-permanent hair extension method.

Tape-in extensions are made from human hair and are attached to the natural hair using a special adhesive tape. The tape is applied to the hair in small sections, and the extensions are then attached to the tape. The extensions blend seamlessly with the natural hair, providing length, volume, and style.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
To understand how tape-in extensions work, let's consider a practical example. Suppose you have short hair, and you want to add volume and length to your hair for a special event. You can visit a salon and get tape-in extensions applied to your hair. The stylist will measure and cut the extensions to match your hair length and texture. They will then apply the special adhesive tape to your hair and attach the extensions. Once the extensions are in place, you can style your hair as usual.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Tape-in extensions are a popular choice for people who want to add length and volume to their hair without committing to a permanent hair extension method. They are also ideal for people who have thin or fine hair, as they provide extra body and texture. Celebrities such as Sarah Harding, Olga Kurylenko, and Laura Pradelska have been spotted with tape-in extensions, making them a fashionable choice for those who want to add some glamour to their look.

## Glossary
- Human hair: Refers to hair that comes from human beings, either donated or collected from salons.
- Semi-permanent: Describes a type of hair extension that lasts for about 4-6 weeks before needing to be reapplied.
- Adhesive tape: A special type of tape used to attach hair extensions to natural hair.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, tape-in extensions are a popular hair extension method that provides length, volume, and style to your hair. They are made from human hair and are attached to your natural hair using a special adhesive tape. They are ideal for people who want to add some glamour to their look without committing to a permanent hair extension method. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and real-world scenarios of tape-in extensions, you can make an informed decision about whether they are right for you.

Rehabilitated golden eagle takes to the skies

A male golden eagle was released in a farm field near Oso Flaco Lake near Nipomo on Tuesday after three weeks of rehabilitation with wildlife rescue group Pacific Wildlife Care.

The adult bird was one of two eagles rescued from the field three weeks ago. Farmworkers found the eagles unable to fly May 8.

Rescuers theorize that the two male birds were fighting, fell out of the air and hit the ground hard, leaving them bruised and too sore to fly. Most eagles rescued by Pacific Wildlife Care have been hit by cars.

Eagles tend to prefer wilderness areas rather than farm fields.

“It’s really kind of a mystery,” said Kelly Vandenheuvel, who rehabilitated the birds. “To have two eagles on the ground unable to fly is very unusual.”

Rescuers found no major health problems with the birds. Neither had broken bones, and blood tests showed the birds were healthy. The only thing wrong with them was that they were a little underweight. After several weeks of rest and weight gain, the eagles began to fly again.

The eagle released Tuesday was 61⁄2 pounds when it was rescued and weighed more than 8 pounds when it was released, Vandenheuvel said. The other was released a week ago.

Lesson: The Importance of Rehabilitation for Wildlife

Introduction:
Wild animals play an essential role in maintaining the balance of nature. However, sometimes these creatures fall ill or get injured due to various reasons. In such cases, rehabilitation becomes crucial to help them recover and return to their natural habitat. This lesson will teach you about the importance of rehabilitation for wildlife and how it helps in conserving nature.

Section 1: What is Wildlife Rehabilitation?
Wildlife rehabilitation is the process of taking care of injured, orphaned, or sick wild animals with the aim of treating their medical conditions and teaching them the necessary skills to survive in the wild. It is a vital component of wildlife conservation efforts.

Section 2: Why is Wildlife Rehabilitation Important?
There are several reasons why wildlife rehabilitation is essential:

1. It helps in conserving endangered species: Some species are on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss, poaching, or other human activities. Rehabilitating these animals helps in increasing their population and preventing their extinction.

2. It prevents animals from becoming a nuisance: When wild animals are injured or orphaned, they may turn to human habitats for food and shelter. This can create problems for humans and other animals. Rehabilitating these animals helps them learn how to survive in the wild, preventing them from becoming a nuisance.

3. It promotes environmental education: Rehabilitating wild animals provides an opportunity to educate people about the importance of wildlife conservation and the need to protect their habitats.

Section 3: How does Wildlife Rehabilitation Work?
Wildlife rehabilitation involves several steps, including:

1. Rescue and transportation: Injured or orphaned animals are rescued and transported to a wildlife rehabilitation center.

2. Medical treatment: The animals are examined by veterinarians and provided with the necessary medical treatment, including medication, wound care, and nutritional support.

3. Rehabilitation: Once the animals are medically stable, they begin the rehabilitation process. This involves learning how to hunt, build nests, and avoid predators.

4. Release: Once the animals have recovered and are ready to be released into the wild, they are returned to their natural habitat.

Section 4: Examples of Wildlife Rehabilitation
One example of successful wildlife rehabilitation is the story of a bald eagle that was rescued after being injured in a car accident. The eagle was taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center, where it received medical treatment and learned how to fly again. After several months of rehabilitation, the eagle was released back into the wild, where it could once again soar freely.

Conclusion:
Wildlife rehabilitation is a crucial component of wildlife conservation efforts. By rescuing and rehabilitating injured or orphaned animals, we can help preserve endangered species, prevent nuisance animals, and promote environmental education. We hope this lesson has inspired you to learn more about the importance of wildlife rehabilitation and how you can get involved in conservation efforts.

Glossary:
- Wildlife rehabilitation: The process of taking care of injured, orphaned, or sick wild animals with the aim of treating their medical conditions and teaching them the necessary skills to survive in the wild.
- Endangered species: Species that are at risk of becoming extinct due to habitat loss, poaching, or other human activities.
- Nuisance animals: Wild animals that become a problem for humans and other animals due to their behavior.
- Environmental education: The process of teaching people about the importance of wildlife conservation and the need to protect their habitats.

**Lesson:** How to Reduce Vehicle Speed Safely and Legally

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn how to reduce vehicle speed safely and legally. We will cover the importance of reducing speed gradually, the legal requirements for reducing speed, and the consequences of not reducing speed safely.

**Section 1: Importance of Reducing Speed Gradually**

Reducing vehicle speed is an essential part of safe driving. Sudden braking can cause accidents, especially if the driver is not aware of the vehicles around them. By reducing speed gradually, drivers can avoid sudden movements that may cause accidents.

**Section 2: Legal Requirements for Reducing Speed**

In most countries, there are laws that require drivers to reduce speed when approaching hazards such as schools, construction zones, and intersections. These laws are designed to protect pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. Drivers who fail to reduce speed when required can face fines, license suspension, or even jail time.

**Section 3: Consequences of Not Reducing Speed Safely**

Not reducing speed safely can have severe consequences. Sudden braking can cause accidents, injuries, and even fatalities. It can also result in costly repairs, legal fees, and insurance premium increases.

**Section 4: Practical Examples Using Mathematical Abstractions and Real-World Scenarios**

Let's say you are driving on a highway at 60 miles per hour (mph). You suddenly see a car stopped ahead of you. If you do not reduce speed gradually, you may not be able to stop in time, resulting in a collision. However, if you start reducing speed gradually, you can safely stop behind the stopped car without causing an accident.

Another example is when you are approaching a school zone. The speed limit is usually lowered to 20 mph during school hours. If you are driving at 30 mph and see children crossing the road, you can safely reduce your speed to 20 mph without causing an accident.

**Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions to Teach Critical Thinking**

Why is it important to reduce speed gradually?
- It allows drivers to anticipate and react to changes in the road or traffic conditions.
- It reduces the risk of accidents caused by sudden movements.
- It gives drivers more time to make informed decisions about their actions.

**Glossary:**
- Hazard: A condition or situation that creates a risk or potential risk for drivers.
- Speed limit: The maximum speed at which a vehicle can travel on a particular road or in a specific area.
- Brake suddenly: To apply the brakes abruptly, causing the vehicle to come to an immediate stop.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, reducing vehicle speed gradually is an essential part of safe driving. It is also a legal requirement in many countries. By understanding the importance of reducing speed gradually and the consequences of not doing so, we can make informed decisions that keep us and others safe on the roads.

Lesson: Introduction to Budgeting

**Objective:** To teach students how to create a budget and make informed financial decisions.

**Introduction:** Budgeting is an essential skill that helps individuals manage their finances effectively. A budget is a plan that outlines how much money you can spend on different expenses and how much you can save each month. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of budgeting and how to create a budget that works for you.

**Section 1: Why Budgeting is Important**

- Budgeting helps you control your spending and avoid overspending.
- It allows you to save money and achieve your financial goals, such as buying a car or going on a vacation.
- A budget helps you prioritize your expenses and make informed decisions about where to allocate your money.

**Section 2: How to Create a Budget**

1. Determine your income: Calculate your monthly take-home pay after taxes, deductions, and other expenses.
2. List all your expenses: Make a list of all your monthly expenses, including rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, and entertainment.
3. Categorize your expenses: Divide your expenses into two categories - fixed expenses (expenses that remain the same each month) and variable expenses (expenses that change each month).
4. Set savings goals: Determine how much you want to save each month and allocate funds towards your savings goal.
5. Adjust your budget: Once you have determined your income and expenses, adjust your budget to ensure that you are spending less than you earn.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's say you earn $3000 per month after taxes and deductions. Your monthly expenses are as follows:

| Category     | Amount   |
| :--------:   | -------: |
| Rent        | $1000    |
| Utilities    | $200     |
| Groceries    | $300     |
| Transportation | $200     |
| Entertainment | $100     |
| Savings      | $200     |
| Total       | $2700    |

In this example, your total expenses are $2700, which is more than your income. To balance your budget, you can adjust your expenses as follows:

- Reduce entertainment expenses by $50 per month.
- Reduce dining out expenses by $25 per month.
- Cancel subscriptions or memberships that you do not need.

By making these adjustments, you can reduce your expenses to $2550, which is $450 less than your income. This allows you to save $450 per month towards your financial goals.

**Conclusion:** Budgeting is an essential skill that helps individuals manage their finances effectively. By creating a budget, you can control your spending, save money, and achieve your financial goals. Use the practical examples in this lesson to create a budget that works for you and make informed financial decisions.

**Glossary:**
- Budget: A plan that outlines how much money you can spend on different expenses and how much you can save each month.
- Fixed expenses: Expenses that remain the same each month, such as rent and utilities.
- Variable expenses: Expenses that change each month, such as entertainment and dining out.

Lesson: Training and Comparing Multiple Regression Models in Azure ML Studio

**Introduction:**

Regression analysis is a statistical method used to determine the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In machine learning, regression models are used to predict continuous values based on input features. In this lesson, we will learn how to train and compare multiple regression models in Azure ML Studio, including Bayesian linear regression, neural network regression, boosted decision tree regression, linear regression, and decision forest regression.

**Section 1: Setting up the Environment**

Before we start training and comparing multiple regression models, we need to set up our environment. We will use Azure ML Studio, which is a web-based platform that allows us to create and deploy machine learning models. To access Azure ML Studio, we need an Azure subscription. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a free trial at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/.

Once you have an Azure subscription, navigate to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com/. Click on "Create a resource" and search for "Machine Learning". Select "Create" and follow the prompts to create a new Machine Learning workspace.

**Section 2: Preparing the Data**

After setting up the environment, we need to prepare the data for our regression models. We will use the USDA Challenge dataset, which contains information about crops and their prices. You can download the dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository at https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Crop+Yield+Prediction+Challenge.

Once you have downloaded the dataset, you can import it into Azure ML Studio by selecting "Import data" from the "Data" menu. Choose the "CSV" format and select the file containing your data.

**Section 3: Building the Model**

Now that we have prepared the data, we can start building our regression models. We will create five different models: Bayesian linear regression, neural network regression, boosted decision tree regression, linear regression, and decision forest regression.

To create these models, we will use the "New Experiment" button in Azure ML Studio. This will open the "Experiment Designer", where we can add different modules to our experiment. For each type of regression model, we will add the appropriate module.

For example, to create a Bayesian linear regression model, we will add the "Bayesian Linear Regression" module. Similarly, to create a neural network regression model, we will add the "Neural Network" module.

**Section 4: Training and Comparing the Models**

After creating all five models, we will train them on our dataset. To do this, we will select each model in the "Experiment Designer" and click on "Train". This will start the training process, which may take some time depending on the size of your dataset.

Once all models have been trained, we can compare their performance using metrics such as mean squared error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R-squared). To do this, we will select each model in the "Experiment Designer" and click on "Evaluate". This will generate a report showing the performance of each model.

**Section 5: Deploying the Model**

After comparing the models, we can choose the best one for our needs. Once we have selected the winning model, we can deploy it to production. To do this, we will select the model in the "Experiment Designer" and click on "Deploy". This will generate a web service that can be used to make predictions on new data.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we learned how to train and compare multiple regression models in Azure ML Studio. We started by setting up our environment and preparing the data. Then, we built and trained five different regression models, comparing their performance using metrics such as MSE and R-squared. Finally, we deployed the winning model to production as a web service.

By following these steps, we can apply these skills to other datasets and problems, allowing us to make accurate predictions and improve our decision-making processes.

Vietnam at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Vietnam competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. It is the 13th summer games in which the nation has competed since its first appearance in 1952. Although it has sent a modest delegation every year it has competed, Vietnam had only earned one Olympic medal before Beijing (in 2000). The Vietnam Olympic Committee sent thirteen athletes to compete in eight of the 28 Olympic sports. It is the largest ever contingent for the nation, up from 11 in the 2004 games.

Medalists

Athletics

Two athletes represented Vietnam in Beijing.

Key
Note–Ranks given for track events are within the athlete's heat only
Q = Qualified for the next round
q = Qualified for the next round as a fastest loser or, in field events, by position without achieving the qualifying target
NR = National record
N/A = Round not applicable for the event
Bye = Athlete not required to compete in round

Men

Women

Badminton

Vietnam sent two athletes to compete in two of the five badminton events. Nguyễn Tiến Minh entered ranked 24th in the world, while Lê Ngọc Nguyên Nhung was ranked 72nd.

Gymnastics

Artistic
Đỗ Thị Ngân Thương represented Vietnam in artistic gymnastics, becoming the first Vietnamese gymnast to be selected for Olympic competition. Although she did not qualify individually, she received a wild card invitation from the International Olympic Committee. She competed in the qualification stage, where her 52.1 final score placed her in 59th overall, missing the event and all-around competition finals. On 15 August 2008, Thuong failed a drugs test for furosemide and her result was disqualified. IOC professor Arne Ljungqvist suggested Thuong's drug use was due to "poor information of the athlete", rather than a deliberate attempt to violate the rules.

Women

Shooting

One athlete qualified to compete in two shooting events. Nguyễn Mạnh Tường failed to advance in either the 10 metre or 50 metre pistol events.

Men

Swimming

One athlete qualified to compete in swimming at the Games, finishing 58th and failing to advance.

Men

Table tennis

One athlete competed for Vietnam in the men's table tennis singles tournament. Đoàn Kiến Quốc won his first two matches, but lost in the second round to a Russian opponent.

Taekwondo

Vietnam sent three athletes to compete in three taekwondo events at these Games. The team had an overall record of 1-3, with only Trần Thị Ngọc Trúc managing to win a match. Trần qualified for the repechage after her second round opponent made the final, but could not advance to a bronze medal match.

Weightlifting

Two athletes competed in two weightlifting events at the games. Hoàng Anh Tuấn was ranked fifth in the world in his category and was called Vietnam's best chance at a medal in the Games. This turned out to be an accurate assessment, as he lifted 130 kilograms in the snatch leaving him tied in lift weight for 2nd, but losing a tie on body weight. In the clean and jerk, Hoàng made his first lift at 155 kilos, but missed his second attempt at 160 and fell back to 4th. However, on his final lift he was successful at 160 kilograms, while his opponents in the battle for the silver medal all missed at that weight or selected a lower weight to attempt, moving him into second place by two kilograms. This was just the second Olympic medal in Vietnamese history, and the first in weightlifting.

Lesson: Introduction to the Olympics

### Overview

The Olympics is an international sporting event that takes place every four years. It is one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world and brings together athletes from all over the globe to compete in various sports. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of the Olympics, how it works, and some of the most popular sports played at the event.

### Section 1: History of the Olympics

The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The idea for the Olympics came from a Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin, who wanted to bring back the spirit of the ancient Olympic Games, which took place in Greece over 2,000 years ago. The first Olympics had just 100 participants from 14 countries, but it has grown significantly over time, with over 200 nations participating in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

### Section 2: How the Olympics Works

The Olympics is organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which is based in Switzerland. The IOC is responsible for selecting the host city for each Olympics, organizing the event, and ensuring that it runs smoothly. The Games are held every four years, except for 1916, 1940, and 1944, when they were canceled due to World War I and II.

Each Olympics consists of two parts: the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. The Summer Olympics features sports that can be played outside, such as track and field, swimming, and basketball. The Winter Olympics features sports that are typically played in colder climates, such as figure skating, skiing, and ice hockey.

Athletes compete in various events, known as "medals," which are awarded to the top three finishers in each event. The gold medal is the highest honor, followed by the silver medal and the bronze medal. Athletes who win a gold medal at the Olympics are considered to be among the best in the world in their respective sports.

### Section 3: Popular Sports at the Olympics

Some of the most popular sports at the Olympics are:

1. Track and Field: This includes events such as the 100-meter dash, long jump, and high jump.
2. Swimming: Swimmers compete in events such as the 100-meter freestyle, breaststroke, and butterfly.
3. Gymnastics: Athletes perform routines on the balance beam, uneven bars, and vault, among other events.
4. Basketball: Two teams of five players each compete on a court to score points by shooting a ball through a hoop.
5. Soccer: Two teams of eleven players each play on a large field to score goals by kicking a ball into the opposing team's net.

Lesson: Introduction to Basketball Operations

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Basketball operations refer to the management and decision-making processes involved in running a professional basketball team. This includes scouting and recruiting players, developing game plans, managing finances, and making trades. In this lesson, we will explore the different aspects of basketball operations and how they contribute to the success of a team.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a hypothetical scenario where a basketball team is struggling to win games. The general manager must make some decisions to improve the team's performance. One option is to trade away a star player who is not performing well and use the money saved on his contract to sign a better player. Another option is to change the team's defense strategy to better match the opponent's offense.

To implement this change, the coach may need to spend more time with the players to improve their communication and coordination on the court. The general manager may also need to negotiate with other teams to acquire new players who can strengthen the team's defense.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

In the real world, basketball operations professionals work closely with coaches, players, and owners to make strategic decisions that impact the team's performance. They analyze data to identify areas where the team needs improvement and develop plans to address these issues. They also manage the team's budget and salary cap to ensure that the team stays within financial limits while still being able to attract top talent.

### Glossary

- General Manager (GM): The person responsible for managing a professional sports team's basketball operations.
- Salary Cap: The maximum amount of money that a team can spend on player contracts in a given season.
- Trade: The exchange of players or draft picks between two teams.
- Defense: The tactics used by a team to prevent the opposing team from scoring points.
- Offense: The tactics used by a team to score points against the opposing team.

### Conclusion

Understanding the intricacies of basketball operations is crucial for anyone interested in pursuing a career in professional sports. By studying the different aspects of this field, you can gain valuable insights into how teams are built, managed, and improved upon over time.
