Banned Books Week is celebrated the last week of September to promote the freedom to read. Many famous books have been banned from schools and libraries over the years, even popular titles like the Harry Potter series. The activist librarian Judith Krug started Banned Books Week in 1982 to support people's right to read whatever they choose. The book "The House on Mango Street" that the class will soon read is one of the most banned books in America and was prohibited in schools in Arizona.

This document discusses functions in C programming. It defines a function as a section of code that performs a specific task. Functions make programming simpler by splitting problems into smaller, more manageable sub-problems. The key advantages are that problems can be viewed at a smaller scope, program development is faster, and programs are easier to maintain. There are two types of functions - library functions provided by the language and user-defined functions written by the programmer. Functions can take parameters, perform operations, and return values. Well-structured functions are important for organizing code and solving complex problems.

Shrinkage Estimation of Linear Panel Data Models Under Nearly Singular Designraffaelesaggio
In this thesis we evaluate fixed effects linear panel data models where the sample within variation of the explanatory variable is significantly small. We notice that when a covariate is exhibiting high degrees of low longitudinal variation (LLV), this indicates a nearly singular design.
Consistently with the related literature, we demonstrate that this design affects
√
the rate of convergence of the FE estimator. The new rate is slower than n and depends critically on the severity of the LLV problem. By extending the subsampling methodology for the linear panel data context, we show how to estimate this unknown rate of convergence.
We subsequently begin to evaluate alternative ways of estimating the parameter of interest when the explanatory variable is characterized by LLV. In particular, we demonstrate how it is possible to obtain a shrinkage estimator whose Mean Square Error always dominates, under appropriate conditions, the Mean Square Error of the fixed effect estimator. We demonstrate the importance of this result with a specific empirical example.

This document discusses fashion illustration and its role in the fashion industry. It outlines three categories of fashion illustrators: Sensualists who use textures and materials, Technocrats who employ digital means, and Gamines/Sophisticates who create imaginative worlds. Fashion illustration conveys more than just the appearance of clothes by stylizing aspects to achieve effects and communicate the personality of a look. Because illustrations can depict personality in a more personal way than photography, fashion illustrators are essential participants in the industry and their work is commissioned for magazines, editorials, and advertising.

Sean Parsons and Mark Baker from MindCandy discuss their use of Scala in services and tools. They chose Scala due to familiarity with the JVM, static types, and its large community. They used Scala to build backend services including for users, games, news and more. They also used Scala for tools like the REPL, scripts, a setup tool and Play-based websites. They found Scala good for expressing algorithms clearly and taking advantage of immutability and actors to scale. While learning Scala required learning new syntax and paradigms, they plan to continue using it for tools, scripts and services going forward.
The document summarizes correspondence between Bank of America and the SEC regarding a shareholder proposal submitted by the SEIU Master Trust. The proposal asks the bank to adopt a policy to review bonuses paid to executives and determine if recoupment is warranted if the bonuses were based on financial metrics that were later found to be unsustainable or require restatement. Bank of America seeks to omit the proposal, arguing it has substantially implemented it or that the proposal is too vague. The SEC responds that Bank of America's policies do not compare favorably to the guidelines of the proposal and it has not substantially implemented it, so the proposal cannot be omitted.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
