French police fired tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon in battles with "yellow vest" protesters trying to breach security cordons on the Champs Elysees in Paris on Saturday ahead of a third rally against high living costs.
Police said 60 people had been arrested amid concerns that violent far-right and far-left groups were infiltrating the "yellow vests" movement, a spontaneous grassroots rebellion over the struggle of many in France to make ends meet.
For more than two weeks, the "gilets jaunes" (yellow vests) have blocked roads in protests across France, posing one of the largest and most sustained challenges Emmanuel Macron has faced in his 18-month-old presidency.
In Paris, masked and hooded protesters picked up and hurled crowd barriers and other projectiles in running battles with police on and around the world famous Champs Elysees boulevard.
Others erected their own barricades and set them alight in some of the streets adjacent to the Champs Elysees.
Three policemen and seven protesters had been injured, spokeswoman Johanna Primevert said.
"The thugs are a minority and have no place in these demonstrations," government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux told LCI television.
Several hundred yellow vests sat down under the Arc de Triomphe at the top of the Elysees, singing La Marseillaise, France's national anthem, and chanting, "Macron Resign!"
On the facade of the towering 19th-century arch, protesters scrawled in big black letters: "The yellow vests will triumph."
By mid-morning, police estimated some 2,000 protesters were in the roads around the Champs with rioters and peaceful protesters mixed together. Police unions said across France there were some 31,000 protesters and 582 blockages.
A week ago thousands of protesters, who have no leader and have largely organised themselves online, converged on Paris for the first time, turning the Champs Elysees into a battle zone as they clashed with police firing tear gas and water cannon.
"What message do the yellow vests want to pass today? That we set France on fire, or find solutions? I find this (violence) absurd," Jacline Mouraud, a prominent activist within the yellow vests movement, told BFM television.
But a retired yellow-vest protester said: "The government is not listening. Revolution cannot happen without violence."
Macron said on Tuesday he understood the anger felt by voters outside France's big cities over the squeeze that fuel prices have put on households, but insisted he would not be bounced into changing policy by "thugs".
The outburst of anger is strongest in smaller towns and villages and in "banlieues" - gritty suburbs of major cities plagued by unemployment and deprivation, and underlines the gap between metropolitan elites and working class voters that has boosted anti-establishment politics across the Western world.
The immediate trigger for the protest wave was Macron's decision to raise tax on diesel fuel in a move to encourage the driving of less-polluting cars. The yellow vests take their name from the high-visibility jackets all motorists in France must carry in their vehicles.
Ahead of Saturday's protests, workmen erected metal barriers and plywood boards on the glass-fronted facades of restaurants and boutiques lining the Champs Elysees, which was closed to traffic with pedestrians funneled through checkpoints.
"There's a lot of incitement on social media and we are expecting excess and violence," David Michaux of the UNSA Police union told Reuters.
Three formal demonstrations were planned across Paris on Saturday, including a union protest against unemployment and a separate rally against racism.
For now, the "yellow vests" enjoy widespread public support. When they began, the protests caught Macron off-guard just as he was trying to counter a fall in his popularity rating to 30 percent. His unyielding response has exposed him to charges of being out of touch with ordinary people.

Transgender Healthcare Updates
Blog Search
The transgender health care crisis is not only well-documented in national surveys in the last few years, but is revealed in story after story of transgender people who have been refused care by health care providers and refused medically-necessary coverage by the health insurance industry. The discrimination and abuse that transgender people face raises concerns about the ability to access care and, more problematically, a reluctance to seek care leading to poorer health outcomes. However, recent progress has been made in ending some of these discriminatory exclusions of coverage and ensuring better access to health care for transgender people.
Know Your Rights: Transgender, for trans people and advocates
With the announcement of Oregon's vote to approve coverage of medically necessary health care for transgender people under Medicaid on August 14, 2014, Oregon became the fifth jurisdiction (CA, MA, VT, DC) to cover transgender medical services, including gender reassignment surgery, as a standard benefit in its government health plan for lower-income and disabled persons. In July, the Illinois Department of Insurance issued a bulletin reminding private insurers in the state that Illinois state law and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) prohibit discrimination against transgender policy holders, mirroring similar bulletins issued by California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Maryland, Connecticut , Vermont and the District of Columbia. Finally, also in July, the State of Washington Public Employees Benefit Board (PEBB) voted to support transgender inclusive healthcare for public employees in Washington. This vote comes more than 18 months after the State of Oregon changed its state employees' health care policies to include transition-related health care for transgender people in response to a lawsuit Lambda Legal filed on behalf of a transgender state employee. (Read more about our Esquivel v. State of Oregon case here.)
These steps at the state level follow the ruling this past July out of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) invalidating Medicare's policy of categorically excluding transition-related surgery, thereby allowing for decisions about coverage for transition-related care to be made on a case-by-case basis.
While these steps are significant, the progress is incremental at best and transgender people continue to face significant barriers to accessing medical services despite the ACA and existing civil rights protections. These barriers and discriminatory practices are sure to come into clearer focus this fall when HHS issues proposed rules under section 1557 of the ACA. Section 1557 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability for any health program receiving federal assistance, and HHS has stated further that section 1557's sex discrimination prohibition extends to gender identity or failure to conform to conventional notions of masculinity or femininity. Earlier this year, Lambda Legal filed the first transgender discrimination case under section 1557 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois on behalf of Naya Grace Taylor, a transgender woman denied hormone replacement therapy by her doctor. Ms. Taylor died unexpectedly this past June, but her case underscores the continuing barriers and challenges transgender individuals face in accessing health care services that are routinely provided to other patients. (Read more about Ms. Taylor's case here.)
Furthermore, the recent Medicare rule change by HHS does not affect Medicaid, where coverage rules are made primarily at the state level. As noted above, to date only five jurisdictions have extended Medicaid coverage to transition-related medical services. The Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP) and other groups have filed a lawsuit challenging a New York State regulation denying Medicaid recipients in New York access to gender reassignment surgery, hormones and other forms of care.
In addition to continuing institutional and regulatory barriers to care, transgender people are also frequently subjected to humiliating and degrading treatment in health care settings. Ms. Taylor's experience is unfortunately not atypical. As documented in Lambda Legal's survey "When Health Care Isn't Caring," (available here) 70 percent of transgender respondents reported one or more negative experiences in a health care setting. These experiences included: harsh or abusive language or treatment; health care professionals refusing to touch the patient or using excessive precautions; and physicians subjecting transgender patients to unnecessary, intrusive and degrading examinations.
Addressing these and related concerns, Lambda Legal joined with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and the New York City Bar Association to issue guidelines and policies hospitals can implement to foster a respectful and inclusive culture for the treatment of transgender patients (available here). In addition, Lambda Legal has prepared a comprehensive legal guide for transgender individuals and their advocates (available here).
We remain encouraged by recent progress at both the federal and state level, but we are also well aware that much remains to be done. Lambda Legal will continue to look for opportunities to expand health care access for transgender people through both policy work and impact litigation because lives depend on it.

JFC Sec B Result:
Athlone 2-12 Caulry 3-4
Our Junior men continued to their winning start to the Junior Championship when they accounted for Caulry in sunny Mount Temple on Sunday evening. This was a game that Athlone dominated for long periods but had to withstand a late Caulry comeback before coming away with the two points.
The opening exchanges were evenly matched and Caulry opened the scoring with a point from play after six minutes, before Cathal Joyce opened Athlone's account with a point from a rebound after a Mickey Greene goal effort had been saved. Caulry restored their lead on 11 minutes but this was cancelled out almost immediately by a Mickey Greene free. The lively Joyce then gave the visitors the lead for the first time when he pointed after good work by Greene, before doubling the advantage with another score from a rebound, this time after Joe Fallon's free had been saved. Fallon then got on the scoresheet himself with a point from play to give Athlone a 0-5 to 0-2 lead after 20 minutes.
Athlone were on top at this stage and a brace of brilliant goals put daylight between the teams. First, Cathal Joyce blasted to the net following a great run by Tadhg Prendergast and some nice interplay with Dermot Bannon, before Sam Omukoro put a screamer into the top corner after some great play by Daniel Reid. Dylan Lynch added a fine point to give the Blues a 10 point half time lead, 2-6 to 0-2.
The opening stages of the second half were marked by several bad wides from both sides and there was almost 10 minutes gone before the first score, a Caulry goal that reduced the gap to seven. Athlone responded to this setback in fine style and kicked five unanswered points to seemingly put the game beyond the home team midway through the second half. However an injury to midfielder Declan Byrne, who was on top in midfield, swung the game in the Reds' favour and they dominated the closing 10 minutes to leave Athlone hanging on for the win.
A goal after 50 minutes, followed by two points had the lead down to seven, before stand-in keeper Gary Quinn was caught by a high ball that ended up in the net to leave just four between the sides with still three minutes and injury time to play. Athlone were fortunate too that some wild shooting from the hosts in this period meant that the gap was not less than four. This meant the hosts were forced to try for another goal as the game entered injury time, but the visiting defence held firm to prevent them adding to their total and final score of the game was an Athlone point to leave the visitors victorious on a scoreline of 2-12 to 3-4.
Athlone: Gary Quinn, Mick O'Daly, Daniel Lynam, Eoin Jordan, Daniel Reid, Rory Donnellan, Shane kilroy-glynn, Sam Omukoro, Declan Byrne, Tadhg Prendergast, Dermot Banon, Dylan Lynch, Joe Fallon, Mickey Greene, Cathal Joyce.

A brief note on Ukraine (via Korrespondent.net, RUS):
According to Yaroslav Davydovych, head of the central election commision, an early parliamentary election would cost us around 400 million hryvnias (approx. $80 million). This is part of the reason I'm against it: there must be a better way to spend this money. Many better ways, I'm sure.

Non Intervention In Affairs Of States
| by Dr. Ruwantissa Abeyratne
( February 11, 2014, Montreal, Quebec, Sri Lanka Guardian) This essay is an impartial Socratic inquiry. It is not meant or intended to take sides, as to who is right and who is wrong; or whether the United States is hegemonic or Sri Lanka is obstinate and chauvinistic. It is not one sided nor is it argumentative and directed towards a conclusion, as it is neither an in-depth academic study nor an exercise in erudite reasoning. It is just a series of questions to provoke thought.
The points at issue are the third and fourth resolving clauses of the Resolution that was brought before the United States Senate on 6 February titled, "Expressing support for the internal rebuilding, resettlement, and reconciliation within Sri Lanka that are necessary to ensure a lasting peace" (a truly noble objective on the part of the United States) whereby the Senate in Resolving Clauses 3 and 4 respectively states "(3) ...urges the Government of Sri Lanka to allow unimpeded access for media, international aid agencies, and human rights groups into all regions of the country, as well as to detention sites that may hold political and war prisoners; and (4)urges the Government of Sri Lanka to end its media restrictions, including the obstacles to the flow of information in the North and East, and bring to justice those responsible for attacks on journalists and newspaper offices".
The Resolution also calls upon the President of the United States to develop a comprehensive policy towards Sri Lanka that reflects United States interests, including respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law, economic interests, and security interests.
The operative and perhaps contentious issue in these clauses is that one sovereign State is calling upon another sovereign State to take measures that reflect the wishes or political philosophy of the former State. Is this hegemony, (as the definition goes): " influence or control over another country, or the social, cultural, ideological, or economic influence exerted by a dominant group "? and/or is it calculated to lead to cultural imperialism, (as the definition goes): " the creation and maintenance of unequal relationships between civilizations favoring the more powerful civilization"?
How is this Resolution placed against United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2131 of 1965 (Declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention in the Domestic Affairs of States and the Protection of Their Independence and Sovereignty) which states inter alia that no State has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State. Consequently, armed intervention and all other forms of interference or attempted threats against the personality of the State or against its political, economic and cultural elements, are condemned?.
Furthermore, what is the force of Resolution 2131 on the member States of the United Nations which goes on to state that no State may use or encourage the use of economic, political or any other type of measures to coerce another State in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights or to secure from it advantages of any kind? Can one attribute such intent to the United States?
On another dimension, why is one member of the United Nations telling another member of the organization what its policy regarding the dissemination of information within a country should be? Is it because to ultimately go through the United Nations for the adoption of a resolution at the UNHCRC there must be an antecedent resolution in the local legislature? even if this were the case, would the United Nations, say the United Nations Commission for Human Rights or any other body adopt a resolution which has text specifically citing the interests of one single member State?
Speaking of the United Nations, aren't both the United States and Sri Lanka members? Since this is the case, would not both be bound by one of the fundamental and basic principles of the United Nations Charter, that all member States should achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character? why then would one State single out another State and call upon the President of the former to take action that would reflect the interests of the former? and what interests are we talking about? Why does the United States Senate Resolution identify those interests inclusively by saying such US interests are " including respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law, economic interests, and security interests" in its plea to the President of the United States to adopt a policy towards Sri Lanka? What other interests is the United States talking about when they say "including"? Would this sweeping and wide reaching word be damaging to Sri Lanka at an international forum?
What if the legislature of Sri Lanka choose to ignore the request of a legislature of a State (such as the United States)? Would the United States Senate take any action or just live with the slight of being ignored?
What would have been the difference if the Resolution omitted the phrase " interests of the United States" and merely said to the US President that he should : " to develop a comprehensive policy towards Sri Lanka that reflects respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law, economic interests, and security interests"? would this not have been sufficient?
And the final question: what are these United States interests? and why were they not spelt out in their entirety in the Resolution? How are the Sri Lankan people to know what these interests are in their totality? Are these interests based on American exceptionalism which proposes the principle that the United States is qualitatively different from other States? Is it an American interest that the United States is a global policeman which can step in unilaterally when there is perceived iniquity or adverse segregation of societies within a State?
Who determines the overstepping of sovereignty by one State? is it the community of nations as represented in the United Nations? What is the significance of the United Nations Charter when it says in its first chapter that the purpose of the United Nations is inter alia to " to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace?
Why is this not a collective issue to be addressed in accordance with the United Nations Charter?
And finally, what if the Sri Lankan Parliament were to formally resolve or declare that the Republic of the Maldives should refrain from attending to their internal security issues unless they accord with certain requests and "urging" of Sri Lanka? Is it not a fact that at the heart of the United Nations mandate is promoting the rule of law at the national and international levels? Should that now be given to individual States? Does not The United Nations attempt to resolve national and international conflict by establishing respect for the rule of law, with a view to achieving a durable peace both during and in the aftermath of conflict, which in turn is geared to protecting human rights and sustaining economic progress and development?
If the United Nations cannot intervene in the internal affairs of a State, as stated in Article 2.7 of the United Nations Charter- that nothing contained in the Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State - can an individual State do so?
Questions...questions, for the intelligent reader.

Strathmore Foods brand launches exclusive NPD
Strathmore Foods brand, Cone Bakes has released an innovative new food-to-go snack that can be served with hot or cold fillings inside a bread cone.
Cone Bake's is a unique way of presenting food-on-the-go that is easily prepared and customers can 'grab and go' – a tasty snack in their hand with no mess, no fuss and easy to handle.
The cones are versatile and can work with any breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert item. It is a bread dough based product that is formed by machinery into a partly baked cone shape, which is delivered frozen.
The product has been trialled at several schools in the Scottish borders and universities around the country, which reacted well to the baked cone.
Ray Gillaspy, Business development manager at Cone Bakes told British Baker: "The first stage release for us will be distribution via wholesalers, which was the main reason for being at the lunch! show.
"It looks like Brakes in Scotland will have it first around about mid-October and we think it will be very successful."
The brands future business strategy is to take the cone cakes into the food service and hopes to generate a new brand for Strathmore Foods.

text: Celebrity sightings at the 2017 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am\nOne of our favorite weeks of the year: Scenes from the 2017 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am \nWith his partner Justin Rose taking a selfie in the background, Justin Timberlake hit the shot of the day on Saturday -- nearly acing the iconic seventh hole at Pebble Beach. We still can't believe it didn't hop in . . . \nThe highlights didn't end with his tap-in birdie at the seventh hole. JT holed out on consecutive holes -- the 16th and 17th -- before Justin Rose holed out from the fringe at the 18th hole to clinch making the cut for Sunday's final round.\nJordan Spieth and NHL legend Wayne Gretzky share a moment on the 18th hole at Spyglass Hill on Friday. Spieth shot a second-round 65 at Spyglass en route to winning his ninth PGA Tour title last week.\nThe always entertaining Carl Spackler didn't disappoint at Pebble Beach on Saturday.\nAll-pro wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, a 12.2 handicap, displayed his strong short game on Saturday.\nDuring a rainy day on the Monterey Peninsula, country-music star Jake Owen brightened the day with a quick tune for these fans.\nSpeaking of the guitar, Justin Timberlake brought his entertainer's hat to Pebble Beach last year and played his "Drink You Away" along on the tee with buddy Alfonso Ribiero. We're waiting for a similar performance from JT this year.\nFormer Secretary of State Condi Rice is about a 14-handicap and is a member at Cypress Point, Augusta National and Shoal Creek.\nSmart move by the Great One: Clearing the crowd away from his path as Gretzky attempts a recovery shot on Friday at Spyglass.\nThese two are both golf-obsessed and also happen to be some of the best in their lines of work. We're sure they never lacked conversation fodder on Thursday.\nThis group knows how to have a fun time. And they know how to win, apparently, as Kelly Rohrbach and Bill Murray took home the 3M Celebrity Challenge on Wednesday before the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.\nJust a week after earning a fifth Super Bowl title as coach, Bill Belichick, a 16-handicap who plays out of Sankaty Head, is playing with big New England Patriots fan Ricky Barnes. \nNobody else could pull off the light blue, bright pink gloves with a flannel look other than Bill Murray himself.\nStar of Baywatch and model Kelly Rohrbach played college golf at Georgetown -- and still has game.\nAlso a 2017 Golf Digest Arnie Award winner, the former NFL quarterback plays to a 4.4 handicap at Castle Pines and Cherry Hills in Colorado, and The Honors Course in Tennessee.\nLegendary surfer Kelly Slater and James Hahn celebrate a birdie at the 12th hole at the Shore course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club on Thursday.\nWe'd love to be a fly on the wall to this conversation.\nEntertainer Carson Daly is a multi-talented star. In addition to owning the airwaves, he's got an 11.1 handicap.\nYou'd be hard-pressed to find a pairing that we'd rather share a cigar and some good stories with than Dustin Johnson and NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, also DJ's father-in-law.\nThe two-time major champion lines up a shot of Jake Owen, a 2017 Golf Digest Arnie Award winner and award-winning country-music artist.\nJustin Timberlake can make anything look cool.\nJosh Duhamel celebrates a holed putt on the 18th hole on Wednesday.\nWhat a week: The New England Patriots coach just won his fifth Super Bowl title, then headed to Pebble Beach for his week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That's doing it right.\nComedian Andy Garcia's style game is on point -- and it looks like his bunker game is, too.\nGretzky's son-in-law, Dustin Johnson, is in contention alongside the Great One this week.\nBill Murray taking a quick rest...on the hand of Kunal Nayyar, or "Raj" from Big Bang Theory.\nCelebrities striking a pose: Kenny G, Toby Keith, Larry the Cable Guy, Huey Lewis, Clay Walker, Alfonso Ribeiro, Bill Murray, Gary Mule Deer, Josh Duhamel, Kunal Nayyar, Andy Garcia and Kelly Rohrbach.\nSlater showing off his short game on Thursday at Monterey Peninsula C.C.\nKunal Nayyar lines up the shot on Wednesday.\nDid we mention Kelly Rohrbach has a phenomenal golf swing?\nForever the star of the show.

If you have a Symbolic Math Toolbox™ license, you can easily calculate analytic gradients and Hessians for objective and constraint functions. There are two relevant Symbolic Math Toolbox functions:
jacobian generates
the gradient of a scalar function, and generates a matrix of the partial
derivatives of a vector function. So, for example, you can obtain
the Hessian matrix, the second derivatives of the objective function,
by applying
jacobian to the gradient. Part of
this example shows how to use
jacobian to generate
symbolic gradients and Hessians of objective and constraint functions.
matlabFunction generates
either an anonymous function or a file that calculates the values
of a symbolic expression. This example shows how to use
matlabFunction to
generate files that evaluate the objective and constraint function
and their derivatives at arbitrary points.
Consider the electrostatics problem of placing 10 electrons in a conducting body. The electrons will arrange themselves so as to minimize their total potential energy, subject to the constraint of lying inside the body. It is well known that all the electrons will be on the boundary of the body at a minimum. The electrons are indistinguishable, so there is no unique minimum for this problem (permuting the electrons in one solution gives another valid solution). This example was inspired by Dolan, Moré, and Munson [58].
This example is a conducting body defined by the following inequalities:
This body looks like a pyramid on a sphere.
Code for Generating the Figure
There is a slight gap between the upper and lower surfaces of the figure. This is an artifact of the general plotting routine used to create the figure. This routine erases any rectangular patch on one surface that touches the other surface.
The syntax and structures of the two sets of toolbox functions
differ. In particular, symbolic variables are real or complex scalars,
but Optimization
Toolbox™ functions pass vector arguments. So there
are several steps to take to generate symbolically the objective function,
constraints, and all their requisite derivatives, in a form suitable
for the interior-point algorithm of
Create the Nonlinear Constraints, Their Gradients and Hessians
To see the efficiency in using gradients and Hessians, see Compare to Optimization Without Gradients and Hessians. For a problem-based approach to this problem without using derivative information, see Constrained Electrostatic Nonlinear Optimization, Problem-Based.
Generate a symbolic vector
x as a 30-by-1
vector composed of real symbolic variables
i between
1 and 10, and
j between 1 and 3. These variables
represent the three coordinates of electron
xi1 corresponds
to the x coordinate,
xi2 corresponds
to the y coordinate, and
xi3 corresponds
to the z coordinate.
x = cell(3, 10); for i = 1:10 for j = 1:3 x{j,i} = sprintf('x%d%d',i,j); end end x = x(:); % now x is a 30-by-1 vector x = sym(x, 'real');
The vector
x is:
x x = x11 x12 x13 x21 x22 x23 x31 x32 x33 x41 x42 x43 x51 x52 x53 x61 x62 x63 x71 x72 x73 x81 x82 x83 x91 x92 x93 x101 x102 x103
Write the linear constraints in Equation 1,
z ≤ –|x| – |y|,
as a set of four linear inequalities for each electron:
xi3 –
xi1 –
xi2 ≤
xi3 –
xi1 +
xi2 ≤
xi3 +
xi1 –
xi2 ≤
xi3 +
xi1 +
xi2 ≤
Therefore there are a total of 40 linear inequalities for this problem.
Write the inequalities in a structured way:
B = [1,1,1;-1,1,1;1,-1,1;-1,-1,1]; A = zeros(40,30); for i=1:10 A(4*i-3:4*i,3*i-2:3*i) = B; end b = zeros(40,1);
You can see that
A*x ≤ b represents
the inequalities:
A*x ans = x11 + x12 + x13 x12 - x11 + x13 x11 - x12 + x13 x13 - x12 - x11 x21 + x22 + x23 x22 - x21 + x23 x21 - x22 + x23 x23 - x22 - x21 x31 + x32 + x33 x32 - x31 + x33 x31 - x32 + x33 x33 - x32 - x31 x41 + x42 + x43 x42 - x41 + x43 x41 - x42 + x43 x43 - x42 - x41 x51 + x52 + x53 x52 - x51 + x53 x51 - x52 + x53 x53 - x52 - x51 x61 + x62 + x63 x62 - x61 + x63 x61 - x62 + x63 x63 - x62 - x61 x71 + x72 + x73 x72 - x71 + x73 x71 - x72 + x73 x73 - x72 - x71 x81 + x82 + x83 x82 - x81 + x83 x81 - x82 + x83 x83 - x82 - x81 x91 + x92 + x93 x92 - x91 + x93 x91 - x92 + x93 x93 - x92 - x91 x101 + x102 + x103 x102 - x101 + x103 x101 - x102 + x103 x103 - x102 - x101
The nonlinear constraints in Equation 2 ,
are also structured. Generate the constraints, their gradients, and Hessians as follows:
c = sym(zeros(1,10)); i = 1:10; c = (x(3*i-2).^2 + x(3*i-1).^2 + (x(3*i)+1).^2 - 1).'; gradc = jacobian(c,x).'; % .' performs transpose hessc = cell(1, 10); for i = 1:10 hessc{i} = jacobian(gradc(:,i),x); end
The constraint vector
c is a row vector,
and the gradient of
c(i) is represented in the
column of the matrix
gradc. This is the correct
form, as described in Nonlinear Constraints.
The Hessian matrices,
are square and symmetric. It is better to store them in a cell array,
as is done here, than in separate variables such as
..., hesssc10.
Use the
.' syntax to transpose. The
' syntax
means conjugate transpose, which has different symbolic derivatives.
The objective function, potential energy, is the sum of the inverses of the distances between each electron pair:
The distance is the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences in the components of the vectors.
Calculate the energy, its gradient, and its Hessian as follows:
energy = sym(0); for i = 1:3:25 for j = i+3:3:28 dist = x(i:i+2) - x(j:j+2); energy = energy + 1/sqrt(dist.'*dist); end end gradenergy = jacobian(energy,x).'; hessenergy = jacobian(gradenergy,x);
The objective function should have two outputs,
energy and
Put both functions in one vector when calling
matlabFunction to
reduce the number of subexpressions that
matlabFunction generates,
and to return the gradient only when the calling function (
fmincon in
this case) requests both outputs. This example shows placing the resulting
files in your current folder. Of course, you can place them anywhere
you like, as long as the folder is on the MATLAB path.
currdir = [pwd filesep]; % You may need to use currdir = pwd filename = [currdir,'demoenergy.m']; matlabFunction(energy,gradenergy,'file',filename,'vars',{x});
This syntax causes
matlabFunction to return
energy as
the first output, and
gradenergy as the second.
It also takes a single input vector
{x} instead
of a list of inputs
x11, ...,
The resulting file
demoenergy.m contains,
in part, the following lines or similar ones:
function [energy,gradenergy] = demoenergy(in1) %DEMOENERGY % [ENERGY,GRADENERGY] = DEMOENERGY(IN1) ... x101 = in1(28,:); ... energy = 1./t140.^(1./2) + ...; if nargout > 1 ... gradenergy = [(t174.*(t185 - 2.*x11))./2 - ...]; end
This function has the correct form for an objective function with a gradient; see Writing Scalar Objective Functions.
Generate the nonlinear constraint function, and put it in the correct format.
filename = [currdir,'democonstr.m']; matlabFunction(c,[],gradc,[],'file',filename,'vars',{x},... 'outputs',{'c','ceq','gradc','gradceq'});
The resulting file
democonstr.m contains,
in part, the following lines or similar ones:
function [c,ceq,gradc,gradceq] = democonstr(in1) %DEMOCONSTR % [C,CEQ,GRADC,GRADCEQ] = DEMOCONSTR(IN1) ... x101 = in1(28,:); ... c = [t417.^2 + ...]; if nargout > 1 ceq = []; end if nargout > 2 gradc = [2.*x11,...]; end if nargout > 3 gradceq = []; end
This function has the correct form for a constraint function with a gradient; see Nonlinear Constraints.
To generate the Hessian of the Lagrangian for the problem, first generate files for the energy Hessian and for the constraint Hessians.
The Hessian of the objective function,
hessenergy, is a very large symbolic
expression, containing over 150,000 symbols, as evaluating
size(char(hessenergy)) shows. So it takes a substantial
amount of time to run
To generate a file
hessenergy.m, run the
following two lines:
filename = [currdir,'hessenergy.m']; matlabFunction(hessenergy,'file',filename,'vars',{x});
In contrast, the Hessians of the constraint functions are small, and fast to compute:
for i = 1:10 ii = num2str(i); thename = ['hessc',ii]; filename = [currdir,thename,'.m']; matlabFunction(hessc{i},'file',filename,'vars',{x}); end
After generating all the files for the objective and constraints,
put them together with the appropriate Lagrange multipliers in a file
hessfinal.m as
function H = hessfinal(X,lambda) % % Call the function hessenergy to start H = hessenergy(X); % Add the Lagrange multipliers * the constraint Hessians H = H + hessc1(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(1); H = H + hessc2(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(2); H = H + hessc3(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(3); H = H + hessc4(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(4); H = H + hessc5(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(5); H = H + hessc6(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(6); H = H + hessc7(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(7); H = H + hessc8(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(8); H = H + hessc9(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(9); H = H + hessc10(X) * lambda.ineqnonlin(10);
Start the optimization with the electrons distributed randomly on a sphere of radius 1/2 centered at [0,0,–1]:
rng default % for reproducibility Xinitial = randn(3,10); % columns are normal 3-D vectors for j=1:10 Xinitial(:,j) = Xinitial(:,j)/norm(Xinitial(:,j))/2; % this normalizes to a 1/2-sphere end Xinitial(3,:) = Xinitial(3,:) - 1; % center at [0,0,-1] Xinitial = Xinitial(:); % Convert to a column vector
Set the options to use the interior-point algorithm, and to use gradients and the Hessian:
options = optimoptions(@fmincon,'Algorithm','interior-point','SpecifyObjectiveGradient',true,... 'SpecifyConstraintGradient',true,'HessianFcn',@hessfinal,'Display','final');
[xfinal fval exitflag output] = fmincon(@demoenergy,Xinitial,... A,b,[],[],[],[],@democonstr,options);
The solution takes 19 iterations and only 28 function evaluations:
xfinal,fval,exitflag,output.iterations,output.funcCount xfinal = -0.0317 0.0317 -1.9990 0.6356 -0.6356 -1.4381 0.0000 -0.0000 -0.0000 0.0000 -1.0000 -1.0000 1.0000 -0.0000 -1.0000 -1.0000 -0.0000 -1.0000 0.6689 0.6644 -1.3333 -0.6667 0.6667 -1.3333 0.0000 1.0000 -1.0000 -0.6644 -0.6689 -1.3333 fval = 34.1365 exitflag = 1 ans = 19 ans = 28
Even though the initial positions of the electrons were random, the final positions are nearly symmetric:
The use of gradients and Hessians makes the optimization run faster and more accurately. To compare with the same optimization using no gradient or Hessian information, set the options not to use gradients and Hessians:
options = optimoptions(@fmincon,'Algorithm','interior-point',... 'Display','final'); [xfinal2 fval2 exitflag2 output2] = fmincon(@demoenergy,Xinitial,... A,b,[],[],[],[],@democonstr,options);
The output shows that
fmincon found an
equivalent minimum, but took more iterations and many more function
evaluations to do so.
xfinal2,fval2,exitflag2,output2.iterations,output2.funcCount xfinal2 = 0.0000 1.0000 -1.0000 0.6689 -0.6644 -1.3334 -0.6644 0.6689 -1.3334 0.0000 -1.0000 -1.0000 0.6357 0.6357 -1.4380 -0.0317 -0.0317 -1.9990 1.0000 0.0000 -1.0000 -1.0000 0.0000 -1.0000 0.0000 0.0000 -0.0000 -0.6667 -0.6667 -1.3334 fval2 = 34.1365 exitflag2 = 1 ans = 75 ans = 2372
In this run the number of function evaluations (in
output2.funcCount) is
2372 compared to 28 (in
output.funcCount) when using gradients
and Hessian.
The symbolic variables in this example have the assumption, in the symbolic engine workspace,
that they are real. To clear this assumption from the symbolic engine workspace, it
is not sufficient to delete the variables. Clear the variable assumptions by using
syms x
Verify that the assumptions are empty.
ans = Empty sym: 1-by-0

Thank you for your interest in Greenhills! Did you know Greenhills is one of three federally planned and constructed greenbelt communities in the nation? Developed by the government in the 1930's, the purpose of the federal greenbelt project was to supply jobs and to offer an escape from the congested inner city neighborhoods through the construction of a small town with plenty of park-like areas surrounded by a greenbelt. Greenhills still provides that peaceful respite! Of the three greenbelt communities, Greenhills is the only one that has maintained its greenbelt, giving its residents and businesses a very unique setting.
The oldest portion of Greenhills – which includes the Village Center which is also our business district – was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and in 2016 was designated a NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK. The designation was based on the community's planning and development. The original "garden city" plan remains intact: curving streets, walking paths that all lead to the Village Center, and the encircling greenbelt.
Greenhills has its own Building Department that issues both building and electrical permits. Plumbing permits are issued by Hamilton County Public Health District.
Whether you are going to locate a business in Greenhills or remodel/renovate/repair your current space in Greenhills, always start by obtaining a zoning determination from Greenhills. All uses of property within Greenhills require approval of the Village of Greenhills. Completing and submitting the Zoning Certificate form (available on this website) gives the Village the opportunity to review your ideas and point you towards your next steps.
When do you need a permit?
All construction activity to enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert, or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing system requires a Building Permit.
Will you need to make any changes to the space you want to occupy?
If the answer is YES, you will need to complete the Building Permit application form and submit it with the appropriate attachments to Greenhills. The application is available on this website under :DEPARTMENTS, BUILDING AND ZONING.
If the answer is NO, you need to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. To do this you will need to complete a Building Permit application and submit it to Greenhills along with a sketch of the floor plan indicating how the space will be used, the size of the rooms, the location of exit doors, etc. After submittal and review, an inspection will be done by both the Building Department and the Fire Department to verify that no serious hazards are present and all like safety devices (fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, exit signs and fire suppression systems, etc.) are properly functioning.
√ Check with the Village before erecting any signage. Most signs require permits.
√ Absolutely no signage or displays can be mounted on a roof.
√ Wall signs must be channel letters; freestanding signs must be ground mounted.
√ A business may put a sign on or over a show window or door of a store or business establishment announcing, without display or elaboration, the name of the proprietor and the nature of the business.
√ Temporary signs and displays are permitted with the advanced approval of the Greenhills Municipal Manager.
√ All signs must apply to the property on which they are located and should be kept in good shape. Signage should be removed when no longer applicable.
→ All commercial, business, service and retail operations must occur within an enclosed building unless a conditional use permit is obtained.
→ Outdoor sales may occur for a limited time IF approved in advance by Greenhills.
→ Outdoor storage of any kind is prohibited.
→ Business fronts must have a minimum of 50% transparency (transparent windows and doors).
→ Dumpsters should be kept within a 3-sided enclosure.
→ The public right-of-way should always be kept clear. Do not place signage, plantings, or other items, or conduct private business on the right of way.

Greenhills is pleased to offer tax incentives to encourage private investment in the Village. The Community Reinvestment Area program is intended to promote revitalization by offering property tax exemptions for any increased property valuation that result from renovation of existing structures or new construction activities within the designated area.
Greenhills has 2 reinvestment area:
The boundaries of the first CRA mirror – for the most part -- the Village's historic district. It also includes the American Legion building and the former Johnny's Toys building. Click here to view the map for CRA #1. A specific list of addresses included in CRA #1 can be viewed by clicking here.
The boundaries of the second CRA include Damon, Dayspring, Deerhill and industrial property located along Sharon Road. Click here to view the map for CRA #2. A specific list of addresses included in CRA #2 can be viewed by clicking here.
In either Area, if you are contemplating a residential project, you can view the exemption application by clicking here.
For both reinvestment areas, the percentage of the exempted amount and the term of the exemptions vary according to the type of investment, as indicated below:
1)75% tax exemption for 10 years for the remodeling of a residential structure containing not more than 2 housing units when the cost of remodeling is at least $2,500
2)75% tax exemption for 12 years for the remodeling of a residential structure containing not more than 3 housing units when the cost of remodeling is at least $5,000
3)75% tax exemption for 15 years for new construction of a building containing not more than 3 housing units
4)Up to a 75% tax exemption for up to 12 years, as negotiated on a case-by-case basis in advance of the project moving forward, for commercial remodeling projects and for residential remodeling projects involving more than 3 housing units
5)Up to a 75% tax exemption for up to 15 years, as negotiated on a case-by-case basis in advance of the project moving forward, for new construction of commercial facilities or residential projects involving more than 3 housing units

Youth Programs
The Whitefish Trail offers a variety of natural interpretive programs and outdoor recreation activities for youth designed to bring students and nature together while increasing awareness of the natural world. The importance of children spending time in nature cannot be over emphasized – not only does it lead to positive impacts on health and well-being, it also greatly increases the development of life-long environmental awareness
Kid's Summer Programs
WLP hosts a series of FREE family-friendly guided hikes on the Whitefish Trail and children's programs at the Whitefish Trail Learning Pavilion. Guided hike topics include a spring wildflowers hike, bird watching, mushroom identification and forest discovery. Youth specific hikes will include nature photography, field sketching, nature art, insects, and forest exploration.
Due to increased popularity we are no longer able to accommodate drop-offs at our free kids' education programs. All kids must be accompanied by an adult.
2019 Summer Program Schedule >>
Forest Explorers Camps
Wrap up summer by exploring on the Whitefish Trail! These four day youth camps for children ages 6-10 include hiking, lessons in natural history, interactive games and art activities at the WT Learning Pavilion. Limited space is available and pre-registration is required. Sign up for one week or both!

Learn more about the Whitefish Trail Photo Contest.
School Field Trips
WLP's Goals are to provide relevant school curriculum programs, encourage outdoor education and increase awareness of the Whitefish Trail. Annual field trips are coordinated with Whitefish School District. Freshman visit the trail in early spring and learn about trail maintenance, fitness and forestry. Sixth graders explore the trail in fall and winter to study snow science and avalanche safety, and third graders come in the early spring to learn about the water cycle.
The series culminates with two field trips on the Whitefish Trail that include hiking, games, hands on activities and art projects exploring native plants, bears, orienteering, insects, and predator and prey.

Center for Computational Biology Seminar: Reconstructing Human Population History in Africa using Genomic Data
Seminar | October 2 | 4-5 p.m. | 125 Li Ka Shing Center
Brenna Henn, Associate Professor, UC Davis
Center for Computational Biology
Over twenty-five years ago, geneticists sequenced mitochondrial DNA from a diverse sample of human populations and hypothesized that all humans have a common origin in Africa 200,000 years ago. The broad outlines of this hypothesis remain remarkably unaltered, but many details of our African origin continue to be elusive. After decades of advances in human genetics, we are no longer data limited - either in terms of DNA samples or genomic loci, but there is little consensus on many key issues. These include: where in Africa did the species originate? Is there a discordance between anatomically modern humans and behaviorally modern humans? Specifically, Dr. Henn will discuss patterns of genetic diversity across Africa and models for modern human origins. Additionally, she will explore computational challenges for working on African genomes, such as inference of pedigrees using identity by descent and bioethical challenges we tackle in the field when sampling DNA.
Dr. Henn began her PhD research (Stanford University, 2009) by studying the deep population structure and complex migration patterns of African hunter-gatherer groups. She continues to be committed to understanding genetic diversity in under-represented populations and, based on the last decade of genetic research, hypothesize that the determinants of phenotypic traits and disease in these populations may be influenced by alleles that are population-specific. One long-term objective as an independent investigator is to extend trait mapping and evolutionary genetic techniques to identify loci associated with biomedical traits in diverse populations where collection of large cohort sizes remains challenging. Dr. Henn works at field sites in South Africa, Namibia and Ethiopia building cohorts, and interfacing with local academics and indigenous communities. In January 2018, she joined the Dept. of Anthropology, and the Genome Center at UC Davis as an Associate Professor.

Few weekend getaways can offer the kind of exhilaration that Ocoee River rafting does. This Tennessee gem winds 93 miles through the lush, green Smoky Mountains and within the Cherokee National Forest. A 1,500-foot stretch of the river was even modified to create the Ocoee Whitewater Center, used for the 1996 Olympic canoe and kayak slalom competitions. Now, the Ocoee River has been named as the Most Popular Whitewater Rafting River in America.
The 12-mile trip we guide rolls through more than 20 different rapids and provides excitement for both experienced paddlers and first-timers.
If a wild adventure, made safe by experienced and certified guides, sounds like your ideal summer vacation, book your white water rafting trip with Outland Expeditions today. Due to dam control, we experience excellent water levels year-round. Check out our trip offerings below.
This 5.5-mile-long whitewater rafting excursion is ideal for large groups, particularly outdoor education programs and families. It's our most popular trip. We run our Classic Middle Ocoee Trips from March until October. The rapids you'll paddle through on this half-day rafting trip range from Class III to Class IV, including:
The trip lasts approximately 2.5 hours. You must be 12 years old or older to raft this section of the Ocoee River.
Our three-hour-long upper river trip starts at the Ocoee Whitewater Center, a whitewater course snaking through a narrow strait. The first of its kind, the center was home to the Olympic Canoe and Kayak Slalom competitions. From the whitewater course, our Upper Ocoee River rafting trip blasts through these ten consecutive Class III and Class IV rapids:
We offer this trip on weekends from May through September. You must be 12 years old or older to raft the upper section of the Ocoee River.
Our full-day trip combines the Upper and Middle Ocoee River, packing more than 20 rapids into six hours of paddling. Our guides stop midway through the trip and grill you lunch on the riverside. Availability is based on water levels on the Upper Ocoee.
Before you reserve your Ocoee River rafting trip with Outland Expeditions, please make sure all the members of your party have a clean bill of health. Book your trip today through our online reservation system or call us directly at (800) 827-1442 for more information.
