Jason DeRose at NPR:
The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the U.S., has voted to repeal its ban on LGBTQ clergy as well as prohibitions on its' ministers from officiating at same-sex weddings.
Delegates overwhelmingly approved the changes, 692 to 51, during the United Methodist Church's General Conference.
The meeting is taking place this week in Charlotte, N.C. after the pandemic delayed the 2020 General Conference where these decisions has been slated to take place.
The tone of the Charlotte meeting has been decidedly upbeat, in sharp contrast with the last, highly contentious global meeting back in 2019, when heated floor debates left many feeling hurt.
In fact, there was no floor debate over the clergy and marriages rules this time around. Rather, they were included on a consent agenda.
However, in the years leading up to this General Conference, about one-quarter of United Methodist congregations in the U-S left the denomination. Those congregations tended to be among the most conservative in the church. Their departure made the decisions this year less fraught.
Some of those departing congregations left to form the more conservative Global Methodist Church and others decided to become independent. The main reason many of those congregations left the denomination is that despite the church's official rules against LGBTQ clergy and same-sex weddings, some local geographic conferences chose to not enforce them.
At the United Methodist Church's General Conference today, the UMC voted overwhelmingly to lift its ban on LGBTQ+ clergy and denominational clergy officiating same-sex weddings.
This is made possible in party by the departure of more conservative churches to either the Global Methodist Church, independent of any denomination, or other Wesleyan denominations.

Just picked up a painting I bought over the weekend. Had to rent a U-Haul.
“Tidal Pool” 1970
Oil on canvas. 59”x 84”.
Edward Luckey Wolfley
December 26, 1925 – July 28, 2023
Ed Wolfley was born in Indianapolis and attended Shortridge High School. Graduating from Central High School in Evansville, he then attended Wabash College, Duke University, Herron School of Art, and the University of Illinois. He earned his BFA and MFA followed by a 38 year career teaching art at University of Illinois, Ohio Wesleyan, and the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. He primarily taught painting and drawing as well as design, anatomy, sculpture and art history. He retired Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts.
Edward Wolfley passed away on July 28, 2023 at 97 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“Wolfley’s work from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s is displayed in the Lobby Gallery. Nine large oils on canvas are arranged so they resonate with each other. Hung on one side of the room are five large abstracts in beautifully muted colors: “Tidal Pool” (1970), Thunderhole” (1971), “Devil’s Slide” (1973), “Maine” (1969), and “Morning Mist” (1975). Each features large areas of pure color. The compositions suggest the natural world, landscapes with a horizon and submerged depths below. The titles imply the works were inspired by actual places important to Wolfley. These are bold, confident paintings in which Wolfley moves beyond the technical bravado of his earlier work to a more personal, mature view of art and the world. He does not hesitate to make big statements in paintings that are visually appealing but at the same time challenging to viewers”.

I used to be this type of shrivelled crusty cunt, wesleyanism-tryhardism type of shit but some of the happytalk floating around does in fact make that transfer of power more likely than whatever Elite Book Club you hamster face textcels insist u belong to. it’s good to know shit but getting ppl in the right spirit is the priority rn and sometimes u need a bit of watered down medicine for that

I have to perform a decision tree analysis to test nonlinear relationships among a series of explanatory variables and a binary, categorical response variable. Data set is provided by The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth).
I will not complicate things here, therefore I am focusing on regular smoking (TREG1 variable).
I choosed few of vars to determine if they can predict regular smoking. predictor = dc[['HISPANIC','WHITE','BLACK','NAMERICAN','ASIAN']]
Therefore I did change predictor variables to just two: gender and age. I got this tree.

1999 - 2024
Since learning about the 4+1 MBA program with my alma mater, SUNY College at Fredonia, and Clarkson University, way back in ‘99, I have wanted to earn my Master’s degree. When I graduated college in 2003, it wasnt the right time to earn my Masters degree. In 2006, I started to apply to the Simon School at U of R, but it wasnt the right time. In 2021, I was weighing the possibility of getting my Masters, or my CFP designation. My CFP won out, and Im glad for that decision. It just WAS NOT the right time!!!
Finally. Finally. Finally. I am ready to work towards getting my Masters Degree. I was officially accepted into the Masters of Strategic Leadership program at Roberts Wesleyan University this week. I am truly thrilled to begin classes in January, 2025!

#OnlyOnOneNETnews: A Bacoleño Student of NOHS have been reportedly accepted in 30 out of 40 International Universities with scholarship grants worth U$D1.9M
(Prepared by Luz Noceda / Gravesfield Middle School news intern of Disney XD News)
BACOLOD, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL -- A 12th Grader student and alumnus of the Negros Occidental High School (NOHS) received acceptance letters from 30 out of 40 universities in the United States of America (U.S.A.) and the United Kingdom, including merit scholarships worth U$D1,934,400 (roughly PHP110M). Julian G. Martir from Bacolod City, Negros Occidental have reportedly been accepted via electronic mailing (E-Mail) online to study abroad.
Per reports from the Digital News Exchange (DNX) when Martir saw a group of ambitious international students on his recommended videos on YouTube, he is planning to apply for scholarships to attend elite schools in a different countries to start it off. He is first submitting an essay online about his self personal life.
Various national media outlets including The Philippine Star and News5 (under PhilStar Daily Inc. and TV5 Network Inc.) are both first reported that 10 universities abroad were rejected, while 30 of them have been approved to apply. According to Martir, his difficulty was hard to understand the application process but he stopped 1 year of school after graduating from High School to prepare his college applications with the help of YouTube videos and admission experts with whom he chatted via WhatsApp, who was a parent company of Meta Platforms Inc.
The following universities that have Martin in a randomized alphabetical state and country order are The University of Arizona, Woodbury University, Regis University, The University of Colorado Boulder, University of Connecticut, Ball State University, DePaul University, Simmons University, University of Massachusetts Boston, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Michigan Technological University, Webster University, The University of New Hampshire, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Alfred University, Clarkson University, Fordham University, Hofstra University, Stony Brook University, Kent State University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Xavier University, Drexel University, Duquesne University, Johnson and Wales University, Clemson University, The University of Texas at Arlington, The George Washington University, Marquette University, Richmond University (all from the United States of America) and The American International University in London, UK.
Social Media netizens on Facebook and Twitter have allegedly sparked controversies of fake news that was supposed to be a national attention, but almost failed to defend the bashers due to severe hate speech of cyberbullying, extremism, death threats, defamation, trolls, toxicity and more, with a massive violation of Cyber Libel under the Republic Act #10175: Section 4.c4 or Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 and House Bill #129: Section 4 or The Online and Social Media Membership Accountability Act of 2022, as signed by a murderous mastermind and formerly suspended Negros Oriental congressman named Arnulfo "Arnie" Alipit Teves Jr.
In an exclusive radio interview of DWFM-FM 92.3mhz's Radyo5: True FM, he is currently planning to study in major of Mathematics & Computer Science in the United States of America and the United Kingdom per some universities. Not only that, he is a highest honor student of NOHS and it is really legal to study abroad.
Martir's parents are retirees and underpaid with their individual professions of tricycle driver and vendor. Because of the low source of income as underpaid due to poverty, they have decided to stop working and passing along with his student of Bacoleño.
According to the Philippine Consulate General (PCG) and the Bureau of Immigration (BI), Student Visa and International Passport must be legally required as a foreigner student and automatically becomes a permanent resident in whichever state or country from Bacolod to U.S.A. or United Kingdom. If approved from the officials, he is now cleared to leave the country and officially study abroad. But... there is a catch. Flights and land transportations, tuition fees & personal expenses are too expensive to travel alone. The Philippine government and institutions will soon cover all the travel and the aforementioned funds to be paid by taxpayers, authorities and officials.
Martir's gratitude was fulfilled because he was accepted by the international universities that he was applying online. His dream is to become a Mathematician and Quantum Scientist.
As he embarks on this exciting new chapter for Martir, his high school and college life continues to motivate others to pursue their dreams, regardless of past or future personal experiences of a foreign student of Negrosanon.

Coursera Data Analysis Tools W2 Assignment
For week 2 assignment from Coursera's Data Analysis Tools (Wesleyan University) we were asked to run a Chi-Square Test of Independence.
I chose again the GapMinder dataset and decided to examine the relationship between the overall political score of a country (categorical response) and the previous year female employ rate in percentage of total population (categorical explanatory).
Therefore, the null hypothesis will be that there is no differences in overall democratic scores between countries with different female employ rates.
For my analysis purposes, I transformed:
polity score numeric variable into a categorical variable with two levels: level 'Y' for a country with an overall polity score above zero (hence, democratic) and level 'N' for a country with a polity score equal or less to zero (not democratic)
female employ rate numeric variable into a categorical variable with 4 levels, accordingly to quartile division of data

______________________________________________________________
From the output of the script, we can see that the female employ rate's data distributes as follows:
and when plotting the overall polity score across each female employ rate group (from the quartiles division), we see that for Q2 bin, with female employ rate between 39.6% and 48.5%, the polity score is higher than in the other groups, being the lowest for a female employ rate from 12.4% to 39.6%
From the Chi Square test we have a p-value of 0.01 < 5% which indicates that there is differences in the overall polity score between countries that have different female employ rates.
After doing the post-hoc comparisons of polity scores by pairs of female employ rate quartiles, we can confirm what we already expected: polity scores between groups Q1 and Q2 of female employ rates are statistically different, with a p-value of 0.006 (< 0.008 of the Bonferroni Adjustment).

Week 1: Peer-graded Assignment: Running a Classification Tree
This assignment is intended for Coursera course "Machine Learning for Data Analysis by Wesleyan University”.
It is for "Week 1: Peer-graded Assignment: Running a Classification Tree".
I am working on decision trees in Python.
1) Syntax used to run Classification Tree
Installation in Linux Ubuntu.
sudo chmod +x Anaconda3-2022.10-Linux-x86_64.sh
./Anaconda3-2022.10-Linux-x86_64.sh
conda install scikit-learn
conda install -n my_environment scikit-learn
pip install sklearn
pip install -U scikit-learn scipy matplotlib
sudo apt-get install graphviz
sudo apt-get install pydotplus
conda create -c conda-forge -n spyder-env spyder numpy scipy pandas matplotlib
sympy cython
conda create -c conda-forge -n spyder-env spyder
conda activate spyder-env
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
python -m pip install pydotplus
dot -Tpng tree.dot -o tree5.png
2) Code used to run Classification Tree
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pylab as plt
from sklearn.cross_validation import train_test_split
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier from sklearn.metrics import classification_report from sklearn import tree import pydotplus import sklearn.metrics
#Load the dataset
data = pd.read_csv("tree_addhealth.csv")
dc = data.dropna() dc.dtypes dc.describe() """ Modeling and Prediction """
#Split into training and testing sets
predictor = dc[['HISPANIC','WHITE','BLACK','NAMERICAN','ASIAN']]
target = dc.TREG1
pr_train,pr_test,t_train,t_test= train_test_split(predictor,target, test_size=0.4) pr_train.shape pr_test.shape t_train.shape t_test.shape
#Build model on training data
classif = DecisionTreeClassifier() classif = classif.fit(pr_train,t_train) pred=classif.predict(pr_test) sklearn.metrics.confusion_matrix(t_test,pred) sklearn.metrics.accuracy_score(t_test,pred)
#Running Classification Tree
tree.export_graphviz(classif, out_file='tree_race.dot')
3) Corresponding Output
I chose few variables to determine if they can predict regular smoking.
predictor = dc[['HISPANIC','WHITE','BLACK','NAMERICAN','ASIAN']]
Therefore I did change predictor variables to just two: gender and age. I got this tree.
4) Interpretation
I have to perform a decision tree analysis to test nonlinear relationships among a series of explanatory variables and a binary, categorical response variable. Data set is provided by The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth).
I will not complicate things here, therefore I am focusing on regular smoking (TREG1 variable).
I translated .dot file to .png using “dot -Tpng name.dot -o name.png” command.
I chose few variables to determine if they can predict regular smoking.
predictor = dc[['HISPANIC','WHITE','BLACK','NAMERICAN','ASIAN']]
Therefore I did change predictor variables to just two: gender and age.
