Now I do agree the whole Mikami mistake and Near finding out about the hidden (real) death note was reasonable. It was an easy mistake and in accordance to Mikami's structured life made sense. Adding in the account that Light had no idea about this - which made Light shocked when he was told about this (not putting anything out of character). So I guess it depends on how you look at the ending, as a whole or a character break down, right. I would have loved to See Light's plan work and defeat everyone - just to see every one's face hahahaha. T.. The bad guy won... O.O.. That would have been in perfect accordance with the character yet completely against the nature of the series.

Also another thing to consider, Light never had a chance. Because even if he beat Near and won, Ryuk would get bored in a few years and write Light's name in his notebook just to cause chaos. Remember Ryuk's primary goal is fun, not ensuring Light's reign.

The way I see it though, Light couldn't have trusted people. You could have, I could have, Near could have, anyone else could have, but not Light. It wasn't because of the Death Note or anything, it was because he was driven beyond trust and moral understanding - he'd already thrown the principles which honour trust out the window. Hence, victory was impossible.
I actually find his plan to kill L more flawed than his plan to defeat Near. He made a much larger mistake there which Rem should have caught onto - by leaving L's fate up to Rem, he had put full power over everything into her hands. There was nothing stopping her from going to L behind Light's back, bargaining Misa's freedom in exchange for her co-operation, handing Light over to him. The only difference is that the moral for the L-side is that "Manipulation gets you nowhere" as opposed to 'Strength in numbers/power of teamwork'. And that we'd be less likely to get the tragic scene of Light running at the end of the show.
As for Near, I think him being inferior to L was the point. Near's the backup, the successor, and his first case is tackling something that took L's life. No duh he'd have a much harder time. The idea, however, is that Near will improve; the way he thanks Mello for allowing their victory, that how only together they could surpass even L, implies that Near has learned and is going to learn from Mello for the future in order to beat the standard L had set.
Speaking off-topic for a moment, I see Gevanni as a version of 'the few good men', the Task Force (excluding Light, of course), though this can be said for the entire SPK. He was willing to go the extra mile to stop Kira, understanding very clearly that the probability of him dying at any moment was considerably high. That's not a show of ruthless calculation or arrogance like we see from Light, that's freakin' guts.
We've been over this already, all of it. It was in that post of mine on the previous page which you seem to have ignored. Please, do not make me repeat myself.
Again, I've tried to cover this. Near did not "get lucky", it was all thanks to Mello. If you disagree, please check the previous page regarding this.
They knew he had pieces of the Death Note, they had two cars and eight people combined from the SPK and Task Force. If we move three into the first car for Mikami, and subtract two for driving each car, we can have as many as four people watching Light. Right next to him, from in front of him, and probably behind him too. They probably would have called ahead to the local police department to have announced they had arrested Kira and were bringing him in for confinement, and in that way had many more police cars following him in. It's also valid in possibility/probability that Near or an official might have Light searched and take the watch.
Even if Light did kill Near or someone in the station, it'd be too late. They still had all the proof they needed to convict him. In fact, without Near around to vouch for incarceration, it's likely he'd have received the death penalty. Either way, Light would have only one shot - the only sense in using it on Near would be out of spite (which is all Light may have ever had on a deeper level). And without any pieces of the Death Note for Light to use after the one-shot, Ryuk gets bored.

Now I would have loved to continue on with your post Light, but Nevflinn is it? But he beat me to it and did a swell job, I can't wait to see you try and talk your way out of this one. What I find interesting in all this is the fact that we concluded that Light made a mistake, and because of Mello loss, concluding Light/Kira had no way out at all. Nev actually brings up that great idea of all the police cars and searching Light, great point! Light#1, I challenge you to answer the questions above in Nev's post on top of clarifying to me on your latest post about the ending. How would Light winning be really all that accordance with his nature? If this is the case than shouldn't Hitler have won in WWII?

There wasn't really a sequence of events that made him give up the Death Note, he planned the entire thing out, to remove both Rem and L from the picture. In that, you never really even explained how ti was Rem's fault.
I doubt that would've been the case if Light won against Near. I'm sure Ryuk would left Ligth alone, seeing as Light would've been free from everything, and would've been able to give Ryuk all the apples he could ever wish for.

Given that it's been over three weeks since either him and I have posted in the thread and he has not yet given a response, I am left to assume that he simply lacks any counter-arguments and instead agrees with me. Any problems?

Plan (A) was to have Misa recover her Death Note again (the one buried), make the Shinigami Eye Trade with Ryuk, and write down L's "real name" in the Death Note.
Plan (B) was to have Rem kill L if Misa wasn't able to remember L's real name. Light had already anticipated that the chances of Misa forgetting L's real name was highly plausable; and, therefore, would arrange it that Rem had no other alternative than to save Misa due to the fact that her lifespan was cut for the second time.
The arguement is, if it was Rem's fault, then we would have to conclude that Light fluked out. But that's not in accordance to what happened at all. Light knew exactly what to do. Rem told Light that she developed feelings for Misa, and that is how he was able to counter her "death threat" against him and line up the plan to put her in a position where she would have to sacrifice herself for Misa's sake.
But it really didn't matter at all what Plan worked out. Whether Misa wrote down L's real name or whether Rem did, Rem still would have died, because Light arranged it so that Misa's lifespan would be cut for the second time, as stated; and in order to save her life and allow her to live a longer - happier life - with Light, Rem would be forced to write L's real name in her Death Note in order to increase Misa's lifespan. Rem wouldn't write down Light's name because that would not make Misa happy.
And about Ryuk becoming bored with Light and writing his name down in his Death Note, I have to disagree with you. Ryuk was all about being entertained; therefore, if Light was actually able to retrieve the Death Note from Near and kill him with it, there would be no point for Ryuk to kill him; neither would there be any reason for him to be bored. Seeing how the Creation of a New World would be just beyond the horizon.

I thought this was going to be a great anime.
I watched with too high expectations. This anime had lots of potential but somehow didn't make it through.
Needed more ryuk.
The other shinigami rem, she already knew she was being manipulated by light, she had time to think of something else, and she doesn't seem very dumb as well. Bit of a shame she roll over and died.
Why do they show so many rules of death note and not even use them storywise. Those rules would have been great bases for drama's.
Also misa misa, her life span was cut down twice, do something dramatic with that. Have her die at childbirth.
And the ending, all of it concluded on that guy fukking up. And light turns into a shamefull pussy, i wished more for him.
And what's with the i'm going to be god thing. Be a god already, first he sees light as an obstacle, gets rid of it and on top of that he gets the L position. Five years later meh not much changed besides that they tell you episodes later crime and war dropped. Than mello and n come and oh he needs to kill them as well before he will be god. Guess what even if he won i'm betting he'd be busy all his life getting rid of kello's and v's from orphanages all around the world
I wonder if the manga is any different. cos for me the show went from amazing to fun but far from perfect quickly after they introduced the 2nd kira.

Well there's not much to say about the ending.
I expected the anime to end that way, but I think it could be done nicer.
The characters grew on the series, and changed completely. Almost all of them died aswell.
The only thing I have big complains is the way Light died.
The scene when he walks past his old self, show's his regrets of what he has done.
I would prefer him diyng in the end proudly, scared but decided. In the beginning he knew the aftereffects of using the note. Maybe I'm expecting to much, but that's the way I feel.
Why didn't he beg Ryuk, to kill them all
By giving him back the note, keeping some pages and offering him some apples.. I guess this don't refuse the "forgetting" effect of passing the note though..Nevermind.
Great anime, well done.
Isn't Near a little brat?

No, you're just wrong all together, nice try, please try again. Instead of wasting time, here's something for you. Ryuk, spent 6+ years with Light, day in and day out. Don't you think by common sense if Ryuk was getting bored he would after the first year or two? Just a thought. Also, guess what! you're so right! Ryuk's primary goal was to have fun! You answered it! Was the Death World fun? Rhetorical question... So it looks like Light/Kira was not "screwed" if he beats Near, he wins and continues to rain. I am sure with all the apples and mind games Light has, Ryuk would be fine.
Light1 is back, for now, so bring the heat, I'm not impressed by anyone of you, you're logic is very flawed and your idea's/opinions are worthless and defy logic, lol. Thanks for the hate and I welcome any challengers, try and get this topic back heated.

Trust between friends applies to anyone you know, be it friend, family or loved ones, or people you respect and have principles they hold highly. This transcends any petty materialistic values or common goals, this is based on pure support, respect and care between two or more people. For instance, Friend X has no need to worry about Friend Y being bribed by the Big Bad for $1,000,000 so that Friend Y would turn against him; not because Friend X thinks Friend Y would find that amount of money laughable, but because he knows that Friend Y would never betray him no matter what. This is the trust that you find among good people who get along with each other, have good virtues, and have a common goal they won't betray.
That's the trust L holds in the Task Force, that Near holds in the SPK. That's probably not the trust Mello holds in his mafia acquaintances - they're out for nothing but profit and are perfectly willing to kill each other over it. That is definitely not what Light displays to the people around him. Light manipulates Rem into a situation she feels she cannot win in so that L will die, thus forcing compliance. Light uses Misa like a tool for whatever he deems necessary. Light doesn't trust Ryuk at all for anything beyond a good conversation - Ryuk doesn't actually do anything particularly extraordinary, he's just in it for the lulz watching from the sidelines. Light can trust Mikami, for Mikami is reliable, believes in his cause and - surprisingly, coming from a person both on the villains' side and potentially insane - honest. However, Light does not trust him at all, and instead uses him as a pawn. He is so confused by Mikami's level of understand and devotion to Kira's cause that he even considers killing him once he's outlived his usefulness. Because of this master-and-servant attitude, Light does not place proper faith in him to help.
The greatest degree of 'trust' Light shows in someone is giving Mikami the Death Note: and even then, Light remains in full control. He gives orders to Mikami which he follows to the letter. Mikami is not allowed to make any mental or psychological contribution to what should have been a team - he's but a puppet to Light, a mere pawn to be moved around the battlefield to protect the King. Besides, Light was just waiting for the battle with Near to end so he could get back the Death Note.
Ehm...sorry, I can definitely tell you disagree with what I said; just not why. Are you trying to hear a conclusion, or have you just gotten bored and decided you'd have more fun trolling? :V
If you're referring to how Mikami was able to verify that the Death Note had been tampered with, there are two important things to remember there:
#1: Mikami didn't inspect the Death Note because he suspected he was being followed, he inspected it because Light told him to. Light anticipated the possibility that Near would try and tamper with the notebook; he didn't know for sure until Mikami told him on the phone that the book had been altered. Gevanni didn't give himself away; Light didn't know Gevanni was there, he just had a hunch that someone was there.
#2: If Gevanni had died, Near would have known Light was behind it. Therefore, Near would have known Light had caught onto him and changed his strategy completely - thus ruining his own plan completely.
The other Light had something on it? I've looked over the entire thread and haven't seen anything on it: can you repost it?
And I wouldn't waste my time taunting B if I were you, he hasn't been on since forever. The only few posts he made were the two about you.
If I were Rem, and I truly loved Misa in an honest love like a mother to a daughter, then I'd want her life to be good - that is very different from smothering her, spoiling her or simply making her happy. Misa wasn't in love with Light so much as she was obsessed with him; she didn't know who Light was at all or if he even deserved her devotion and care, all she knew was that he did one thing which just so happened to be in her favour. That's not what actual love is: Misa was just setting herself up to be abused and ruined by Light.
So leaving Misa under Light's watch without Rem is all but guaranteeing that she'll die - if you disagree, please recall how Light told himself that he'd discard Misa once he was done with her, in their very first meeting. With Misa's concern in mind, I'd have bargained with L for Misa's safety in exchange for Light's reveal and arrest, whilst at the same time keeping Misa confined (so she doesn't try anything stupid). Given a firm yet loving talking and much time later - or perhaps, a year or more of psychology - and Misa will hopefully have recovered.
Though if the condition is in the latter, then Rem's love for Misa isn't just unappreciated - it's as superficial as Misa's love for Light.

Now I believe you're discussing a very conservative outlook on trust and what trust represents between two or more individuals. Good and virtues people are not the only people who represent trust - if you believes this then you should look at the world more closely. A band of criminals, bank robbers must all work together, and have some type of mutual trust in order to be successful; I believe Socrates speaks about this in his Republic in regard to "What is Justice". However, Nev, what if you take police officers, partners who MUST trust each other in life or death situations - they may not be "loving friends," you of all people can see this.
What Light was doing was obviously the most logical process, don't you agree? Obviously Kira was not going to have a bunch of "trust worthy" allies around, I mean if you were Kira would you feel comfortable not having full power and control of your goals and plans? Again, in the series, on topic you must realize Light did not need or want to trust Misa, Rem, Mikami, or anyone for that matter - like you said he treated them as pawns. Nevertheless he did in fact show some trust into them because if he did not he would have lost the battle a long time ago. Actually if you think about it the only reason Light/Kira lost was because of trust. "YOU IDIOT! I told you not to take the Death Note out until today." Remember that? Funny, I would have "trust" issues too if I knew other peoples incompetency would lead to my fall.
So do not through trust out the window, my friend, Light did have trust in of all people Mikami, and the simple proof of this is that he failed at the end. Light put too much trust into Mikami hoping he would follow orders and do as told - yes master/slave, but guess what it was working quite well and would have continued to work(speculation) if Mikami wasn't a totally idiot and had some self-awareness.

I'm not saying other people don't trust each other, I'm saying Light didn't trust people. What he did and always relied on was manipulation; lying like a dog, pushing people into submission, and mentally pushing people into corners were his prime tactics. He forced compliance from everyone he pulled, whether they felt it or not. Nobody was on equal terms with him, as he called all the shots. His desires and objectives, and his life alone were all that mattered, nobody else's.
When Near backed Light into a corner, Light's only means of escape was, indeed, in finding someone he could trust. This was not how Light viewed it, though: he thought he could still continue manipulating and making it all about him, through personal flaws of his own. If Light trusted Mikami, he'd have worked much closer with him (it was possible for them to communicate that much) and informed him of his precautions like the watch scrap - but he didn't. Instead, Light tried to manipulate Mikami when he needed to move on to trusting someone, and Mikami was the perfect person for Light to put trust in; he could have worked rationally well with him had Light allowed him to. But he didn't, and couldn't, because this would have meant putting someone on equal territory as himself. If Mikami's trust had been returned, had they co-operated fairly, Light may not have died. Do you see what I mean?
In which case,
For the second time, we've been over this already. I've discussed it and given an argument on it. You have not addressed it since; thus, I assume you have no argument against it and instead concede it. It was not Mikami's fault.
Mind explaining that one for me, please?
Writing the names down is highly implausible. We're assuming he's in the car now, correct? Therefore, he's flanked by two people on either side, with two more in the front seats, and then there's the car either behind or in front of him. How does he get the space to write something down? He's being watched, nobody's going to be distracted - they will stop him if he tries something. And they will stop him if they spot anything.
The diversion is also completely implausible. So a person's death by heart attack is meant to keep everyone's eyes off of Light? How do they think Near would have died then: naturally? Please, they're not idiots. It could have only been Light - at least one of the people there would have realised that in a split second and have stopped Light from trying anything else, if not end up killing him outright.
It was over for him no matter what.
1. I'm not even in uni yet, and I'm applying for a course in Computer Science. :V
2. ...Four exclamation marks? Seriously - four? While you're trying to talk to someone on grammar?
3. As for why I 'even bothered commenting' on it, please carefully reread the post again:

Final ep was alright and the Director Cut shows light became a shinigami. Ryuk even says at the Beginning " At that time you were not god" and then continues and says light name in the end. Ryuk book also represents that alot of time has pass since light death.

QUESTION: What caused Mikami's bleeding n the last anime episode? His blood suddenly shot up like a fountain. That didn't happen in manga.
Humans cannot become shinigami.
Basically, Light Yagami died.
and THAT, dear fangirls and fanboys, is the bottom line.
If you read vol #13 then you know that the author said that he wanted to make 100% sure that all fans understand that after death there is nothing, no possible reincarnations or anything of the sort
Tsugumi Ohba had said in an interview (in vol 13) that: "Also, one thing that I didn't allow to be changed was the notion that "when you die, you become nothingness." Luckily, I was able to keep this part..."

Cubs' return to Fenway spoiled by Red SoxMay 21, 2011 - 6:21 AM
Kevin Youkilis homered and knocked in three runs, while Jarrod Saltalamacchia also went deep for Boston. Jacoby Ellsbury chipped in three hits and two RBI.
Jon Lester (6-1) won his sixth consecutive decision despite allowing 12 hits and five runs over six innings.
Friday's game represented the Cubs' first time in Fenway Park in nearly 93 years since the final game of the 1918 World Series that saw the Red Sox defeat Chicago in six games. Babe Ruth was the winning pitcher for Boston in two of those games.
The Cubs' gap of nearly 96 years (July 26, 1915 to May 20, 2011) between regular season games at one venue is the longest in major league history.
Doug Davis (0-2) was blasted for eight hits and seven runs in 3 2/3 innings, as the Cubs had a two-game win streak halted.
"The loss kind of put an end to my enthusiasm for this wonderful, momentous occasion," Cubs manager Mike Quade said.
Jeff Baker had four hits and two runs scored in defeat in a game that featured 31 hits, a season-high 19 by the Red Sox.
Gonzalez had an RBI single during a two-run first inning. Boston's first run came home thanks to a throwing error on Chicago catcher Koyie Hill.
The Cubs tied the game in the third thanks to an RBI double from Aramis Ramirez and a run-scoring groundout from Carlos Pena.
Youkilis lifted a sacrifice fly in the third, and Jed Lowrie added an RBI single to left field later in the inning for a 4-2 margin.
Boston blew it open in the next inning by sending 10 batters to the plate, highlighted by Youkilis' two-run blast over the Green Monster. The ball actually left the park, just after Gonzalez singled in two runs.
Chicago scored three times in the fifth, helped by Reed Johnson's two-run double, but Boston scored two in its half, one on Saltalamacchia's homer to left-center off Scott Maine leading off the inning to provide a 10-5 cushion.
"It was good to get the big lead and cruise the last three innings," Gonzalez said. "It was nice and relaxing."
Carl Crawford and Ellsbury each had two-run singles during a five-run eighth.
Game Notes
This marked the Cubs' 13th regular season game at Fenway Park, the first since July 26, 1915 against the Boston Braves. The two clubs met in interleague play back in 2005 at Wrigley Field with the Cubs winning two of the three games in that series...Lester moved to 8-2 all-time against National League teams...The Red Sox made several roster moves prior to Friday's game, including activating pitcher Dan Wheeler from the 15-day disabled list...Youkilis has 500 career runs batted in...Boston has also won seven in a row at home...Scott Atchison collected his first career save by throwing three perfect innings.

As these sites mature, the challenges of maintaining a profitable flow of hydrocarbons is leading producers to use innovative methods to ensure unobstructed flows. A variety of approaches allow subsea processing to keep brownfields operating efficiently and profitably. Subsea systems must be modular to allow practical deployment; wet-mate connectors are important enablers in allowing modules to be connected. Republished from Offshore Engineer (May 2014)

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm not a sporty girl. Sometimes I do yoga and I occasionally get roped into doing other exercise things like pilates and squash, but mostly, I'm a sidelines type of lady. But yesterday, I straight kayaked. In case you think that's totally lame, let me tell you this: kayaking is hard work! I think the craziest thing about it is that you are all alone on the big river and the only way you are getting back to safety is by the power of your own arms. It's pretty cool that way. Plus, the views are nice.
And the people are friendly.
Of course I didn't take my camera with me in the kayak. That would have been nuts. Not too nuts for David, though, who did take his. Luckily, there was no capsizing to be had. I shot these after we got back. The boys look sweaty, and they were.
That guy on the right? Oh, that's just some ripped river-surfer man. Pay no attention. Okay, pay attention. I won't tell.
That's my BFF David there.
It really was a beautiful evening. I'm glad I went but it's not the kind of thing I'm inclined to do again. I'm better at staying on the dock.

Summer School – It's Your Turn to Learn: Gallon/Quart/Pint
Welcome back to MFT Summer School! We hope you had some quality family time during our little break and the chance to use what you learned in session one! If you happened to miss it, HERE is a link to bring you up to speed.
While session one focused on design priniciples, session two will give you the tools you need to confidently create with color. And with all of the colors available through My Favorite Things, you're sure to want to play with them ALL!
We're hoping that by the end of the week, our lessons will give you the confidence you need to create cards and projects that are pleasing to the eye just by following a few simple color rules. Are you ready class? Let's begin.
Lesson #6 – Color Theory: Gallon/Quart/Pint
The first color lesson centers around the concept of using the theory of Gallon/Quart/Pint. A tricolor scheme can make most any card work when applying a main color, a little less of another color, and a dose of a final third color.
Today's instructor is My Favorite Things Design Team member Kimberly Crawford. Click HERE or simply watch the video below to learn more about using the color theory of Gallon/Quart/Pint in your designs.
Kimberly is such a great teacher with super visuals to show the concept! Fun Fact: She used to be a classroom teacher. Pretty obvious, huh?
Doesn't the finished product rock? And now that you know a little more about this color rule, you can confidently create with color!
To aid in your learning, we have created a My Favorite Things Summer School Session Two Study Guide. Download it HERE, and then print it. It will be a handy tool that you can refer to as you design!
This week you're the student, and instead of grades, we've got two prizes per day and two ways to win. Using today's lesson, we'd love for you to create a project that exemplifies what you learned and upload it to the link below.

It is impossible to do when you have a finite amount of sampled input data; it
would even be impossible to do if you had an continuous (infinite) amount of
data that had been truncated to a finite precision. You cannot even always do
it if you have a continuous infinite amount of infinitely precise data.
In order to arrive at du/dz (which is a quantity defined for The Calculus Of
The Infinitesimals, and thus inherently requires infinite representation), you
need a symbolic function which is continuous -- though of course if the
symbolic function was finitely piecewise continuous, you could come up with a
finitely piecewise differential that was valid except at the transition points.
If you have a finite sampling of data, there are _always_ an infinite number
of different functions that might be the "real" function, with all of those
infinite number of functions exactly matching the known data at the known
In such a situation, if you have a model of what form the function takes, and
the function has a number of parameters with unknown values with the number of
parameters not exceeding the number of data samples you have, then you _might_
be able to calculate the unknown parameters -- but not usually, not unless you
have at most 2 data points and the parameters happen to be exact multiples of
powers of 2... You might be able to _approximate_ the parameters -- that is
somewhat more likely... if the model happens to take a fairly restricted form
such as being a pure polynomial...
Of course, your success is going to depend upon having chosen the correct
model to start with -- and most people don't. For example, there is a tendency
for people who have K data points to model their data as a polynomial of
degree K. They get out numeric solutions that might match the data as closely
as one might reasonably hope for... and yet which will very likely be the
wrong polynomial. For example, if I give you 100 points that sample what is
really a cubic polynomial, then constructing a degree-100 polynomial is almost
certainly _not_ going to result in the coefficients for degrees 4 to 100 to be
found to be precisely zero... they might be found to be quite small, but as
far as the program is concerned, there is no reason to know that the
calculated values are "noise" or genuine coefficients.
Science is a cruel task-master. It is not uncommon in science to develop a
"working model" of what is happening, and to dig into it for *years* and come
up with theories... and then a decade or a century down the road, for someone
to find new evidence or a new way of thinking about the science that shows
that a notably different mathematical form is better.
For example, the data that you have for river depth -- do you also have
readings for the solar flux that was pushing on the surface of the water, and
thus altering the depth? Sure, the solar flux might only have an effect of
(say) one part in 60,000 -- but when you are calculating a 100 degree
polynomial, a measurement error of 1 part in 60000 is enough to cause the
second coefficient (for degree 99) to change by a factor of 600, and the last
coefficient (the constant term) to change by a factor of 1 in 6E477 . Even if
you manage to avoid numeric overflow in the calculations, that would be about
like changing the constant term from 6E+235 to 1E-235 . Is your data really
measured that accurately? If not, then clearly any answers you got out from
fitting with a 100 degree polynomial would be physical nonsense.

This is the absolute core of calculus.
Do you remember in High School when you learned about derivatives?
What is a derivative exactly?
Clue: it is a limit.
In numerical analysis, we cannot take limits, so we must approximate.
That's enough clues.
Come back to us with a Matlab question.
BTW, a variable that is (1x100) is not a matrix. It is a row vector.

As you can gather from the previous remarks, you can only obtain an approximate derivative from discrete data. The closeness of the approximation will depend on the fineness and accuracy of the data.
If you had only two points (z1,u1) and (z2,u2), your best guess would be the straight line slope between the points
and from this you can extend this idea using matlab's 'diff' function to
for longer vectors. Unfortunately this rather crude method gives one less derivative approximation than the number of values in the vectors, since each one represents a derivative approximation for a point midway between data points, and also it gives only a linear type of approximation.
I will now give you a formula that produces as many derivative approximations as in the given vectors with each one centered over a corresponding point in those vectors, and which in addition amounts to a second order approximation. That is, if the one vector's values are a second order polynomial function of values in the other vector, these derivatives would be exact (save for round off error, of course.) I will give it in terms of variables x and y rather than your z and u. If x and y are the given vectors (of the same length,) do this:
x1 = x([3,1:end-1]); x2 = x([2:end,end-2]);
y1 = y([3,1:end-1]); y2 = y([2:end,end-2]);
dydx = ((y2-y).*(x-x1).^2+(y-y1).*(x2-x).^2)./ ...
The 'dydx' vector will be an approximation to the derivative dy/dx. One requirement for using this formula is that the vectors must possess at least three points.
There are of course higher order formulas with correspondingly more complicated formulas. I trust this one will be adequate for your purposes.

Prepare yourself for a long-winded explanation. If we assume that the x values are increasing, then, except for the endpoints, the quantities xa=x1(i), xb=x(i), and xc=x2(i) at each i-th point satisfy xa < xb < xc, and we are endeavoring to approximate the derivative, dy/dx, at the intermediate xb value.
Defining ya=y1(i), yb=y(i), and yc=y2(i), we do this by determining the quadratic function,
Y = A*(X-xb)^2+B*(X-xb)+C,
which goes through the three points (xa,ya), (xb,yb), and (xc,yc). Clearly C must be yb. Finding the other two coefficients, A and B, for this quadratic involves solving two equations in the two coefficient unknowns. The derivative of that quadratic function is
dY/dX = 2*A*(X-xb)+B,
and when X is set to xb, this is simply B. After the equations are solved, this derivative value, B, turns out to be
B = ((yc-yb)*(xb-xa)^2+(yb-ya)*(xc-xb)^2)/((xc-xb)*(xb-xa)*(xc-xa))
which agrees with the formula given earlier in this thread.
Actually the assumption xa < xb < xc is not needed in the above formula, and that fact is used in the case of the two endpoints. By the addition of the third point in [3,1:end-1] to the left end of x1 and y1, and the "end-2" point in [2:end,end-2] to the right end of x2 and y2 we have
xb < xc < xa
in the first case and
xc < xa < xb
in the second case at these endpoints. Thus in these cases the derivative is being evaluated at the side of the interval containing the three points rather than at the point in its interior. Nevertheless the same formula remains valid for finding the derivative of the quadratic even though now being evaluated at a side point. That is why the endpoints do not have to be treated as a special case in this method.
Another way to envision this formula is to write it in this equivalent form:
dydx = ((xb-xa)/(xc-xa)) * ((yc-yb)/(xc-xb)) + ...
((xc-xb)/(xc-xa)) * ((yb-ya)/(xb-xa))
The quotients on the right are the two straight-line derivatives between points b and c and between a and b. The two quotient factors on the left involving only x-coordinates can be considered weights applied to these two straight-line derivatives, with their sum always equal to one. In other words the formula in question is nothing more than a certain weighted average between the two straight-line derivatives on either side of the point (xb,yb).
I hope this explanation will indicate the reasoning behind the formula I gave you.

Please add this onto the previous discussion I gave.
If y = f(x) is some continuous function with its first three derivatives also continuous over the interval xa < xb < xc, then by an extension of the famous Rolle's theorem of elementary calculus, there is a value xi (Greek letter) such that the difference between the expression above for an approximation of the derivative at xb and the actual derivative, f'(xb) is equal to
where xi lies in xa < xi < xc and f'''(xi) is the third derivative value of f(x) there. A remarkable fact!
What this signifies is that if the function whose derivative you are attempting to approximate with the formula I gave you has a third derivative which remains very small - in other words is reasonably smooth - then you are guaranteed a close approximation.

But Roger, doesn't your fancy algorithm reduce to central finite
differences if the x are equispaced:
dydx(2:end-1)=(y(3:end) - y(1:end-2))/(2*dx);
without the pretty stuff at the ends of course.

Yes, of course, for equally-spaced x values. In that case one can obtain the same answers from the single-dimensional version of the 'gradient' function except for the endpoints, which are not properly done in my opinion.
For variable-spaced x's the 'gradient' function does not use weighted averages, so it is not actually a second order approximation in that circumstance. That is, it does not get exact derivatives for quadratic functions if the x intervals are variable - at least not in my version.

To Bruno:
It would only be considered a Savitzky-Golay filter if the x-coordinates of the data were equally-spaced. However, the whole point of my suggestion was to handle the case of unequally-spaced points.
To Marden:
This formula can be derived directly from Lagrange's interpolation formula for three points by evaluating the derivative at the central point.

Roger, do you have any idea about the robustness of such method when the point abscissa get closer? It's surely not good, but is it more or less robust than the diff command (order=1)? Or more generally what happens when the polynomial order increases?

I don't claim to be an expert in the subject of noise and filters, so I'll just do a little "hand waving".
With data that is comparatively free of noise, the question of low order versus high order polynomial approximations for finding derivatives is dependent on the relative sizes of the higher order versus lower order derivatives inherent in the data. Where higher order derivatives are comparatively small, then high order polynomial approximation is called for, but low order polynomials are better when the data exhibits irregular behavior in its higher derivatives - in others words when it is not so "smooth".
In the absence of noise, close spacing is of course all to the good, the closer the better, especially for the higher order polynomials. The mean value theorem's error term contains not only a high order derivative but is multiplied by a corresponding high power of the spacing interval which one would like to see as small as possible.
However, when noise enters the picture in a serious way, everything changes. Close spacing now becomes undesirable and high order polynomials tend to become worse than low order. But even low order derivative methods suffer from the noise and increasingly require larger spacing as the noise increases. Therefore anyone trying to find derivatives from discrete data needs to take careful account of just how noisy that data is likely to be in choosing the best method.
On the question of evenly-spaced versus unevenly-spaced data, I can see no advantage to unevenly-spaced data as such, as far as accuracy of results is concerned. It is just that certain methods of data collection will naturally tend to produce uneven spacing in the data intervals, so I hold that it is prudent to provide the appropriate tools for handling such data where higher order polynomial approximation is called for. Naturally there will be a larger amount of computation required to handle the more complex expressions involved in uneven spacing. (I'm afraid I didn't go into this last point adequately in this thread; I just let the expressions speak for themselves.)
I hope the above discussion was sufficiently vague to get me by in answering your question, Bruno.

CLICK & CLACK : How Trouble Creeps In
Dear Tom and Ray:
I was driving my 2007 Forester to work the other day when the check engine light came on (the car has about 15,000 miles on it). I brought it in to the dealer, and they cleaned a spider web out of the charcoal canister hose. Does this sound right, or am I getting hosed? (It was covered by the warranty -- but I am suspicious that something else might actually be wrong with the vehicle ). -- Mary
TOM: Believe it or not, Mary, this is said to be a pretty common problem.
RAY: We've seen a number of service bulletins over the years alerting us to the problem. In your case, there probably was a bunch of webby stuff in the fresh-air intake line to the evaporative emissions canister. That was preventing the fuel tank from breathing properly (fresh air has to enter the gas tank to fill up the space left by the used gasoline; otherwise, the tank will slowly implode). That set off your check engine light.
Dear Tom and Ray:
We have a 2005 Nissan Sentra, and it's time for its scheduled 30,000-mile checkup. Because we still have the warranty, I prefer we go to the dealer and have this routine maintenance done (I hear doing it at an outside garage could cause the warranty to be voided); he thinks we'll get ripped off, and would rather take it outside the dealer network. Help! -- Preethi
TOM: We hate to be critical of dealerships. But regularly scheduled maintenance (the 30,000-, 60,000-, 90,000-mile services) is one of those areas where they absolutely hook up the vacuum to your wallet and let it rip.
RAY: We should point out that there are plenty of things for which you absolutely should go to your dealer. Warranty work, recalls and service actions are some obvious ones.
RAY: But scheduled service is something that a lot of dealerships still charge way too much for, in our opinion.
TOM: Most 30,000-mile services involve changing the oil and filter, changing the air filter and checking a bunch of stuff. All of the required maintenance items are listed in the back of your owner's manual.
RAY: But it's not unusual, in our experience, for dealerships to add lots of unnecessary services to that list. We've seen 30,000-mile services that cost $400, $500 or $600 when they really should cost only $200 to $300 -- at most.
TOM: Dealers may argue that there are things that should be done that aren't listed in the owner's manual. In our experience, that's unusual. They may argue that they use genuine original manufacturer's parts. But your independent mechanic can get those parts for you from the dealership.
RAY: Whatever you decide, having your scheduled maintenance done by a nondealership mechanic will not void your warranty. As long as you can demonstrate that you have done the maintenance listed in the back of your owner's manual (your receipt from any repair shop, or receipts for parts if you do the work yourself, will suffice), your warranty will remain in full force.
TOM: Here's what we suggest: Take your owner's manual and go to the garage of your choice. Show the mechanic the list of required maintenance and ask for an estimate of what it will cost to have all of that work done, using Nissan parts.
RAY: Then call the dealership and ask for its price on the 30,000-mile service. If the prices are the same or similar, then why not go to the dealer? But I think you'll be shocked by the difference in price.

When your Plymouth Trailduster left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes economical pricing in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Main Bearing Set to fix your vehicle. Plymouth automobile enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their Trailduster around town.
A lack of proper lubrication for your internal engine components can result in intense friction and heat and lead to total engine failure. The places where the most rotary movement occurs in your engine are where the crankshaft spins through the main bore, and that is why your Plymouth Trailduster main bearings are installed there. For decades, a metal alloy material called Babbitt has been used to make engine main bearings, which is just slightly softer than the forged or cast crankshaft and the main caps in your Plymouth Trailduster. Most bearings are cast with lubrication channels, so friction and heat are minimized as the main bearings protect your internals for, hopefully, the life of your car or truck.
Get your Trailduster back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Buying new Plymouth parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Trailduster parts on the internet. If your car or truck was built in 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, then you will find the correct Plymouth Trailduster Main Bearing Set parts right here.

Why the form is redirecting to PayPal slowly?Asked by ranacheyanne on April 19, 2016 at 04:28 PM
When you go through the steps of my form and submit to go to paypal, it takes 20 seconds to load the paypal form. Is there anyway to speed this up?

JotForm Support
I have submitted your form using the direct link and the embedded form that you have on your website, I do not think that it is taking much time to be redirected to the PayPal payment page, here is my result on both tests.
Direct link.
Embedded form.
I have also checked the time that it takes to load, here is the result with the time that it loads.
Could you please try again?
If this still persists, please try submitting the form on a different network, it could be something that does not allow the form and the redirection to PayPal to work quickly.
Do let us know the result of your tests.
JotForm Developer
Hello ranacheyanne,
I've also checked your form and it redirects in about 1.5 seconds on my side. From time to time PayPal itself can slow down too, as it is being used by roughly all the world so I would advise to check back again after 10-15 minutes.
If you still run in to problems, I will be happy to help you further.
Thank you

* AutoZone up early, results show profit growth
* Carnival slides, hurt by downgrades, forecast of loss
* Futures: Dow up 3 pts, S&P down 2.5 pts, Nasdaq down 2 pts
By Rodrigo Campos
NEW YORK, Sept 25 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures were little changed on Wednesday, following four days of losses on the S&P 500 and Dow, as investors grew increasingly concerned about budget and debt negotiations in Washington.
Concerns over a potential U.S. government shutdown, and mixed signals on the immediate future of the monetary policy that has given support to equities, kept investors on edge. The possibility of a last-minute deal in Congress, however, eased the selling pressure brought by the uncertainty.
"Investors are not willing to sell the market only to see some kind of agreement reached that would give it support, nor jump in knowing it could get a lot uglier before it is resolved," said Rick Meckler, president of investment firm LibertyView Capital Management in Jersey City, New Jersey.
He said there was confidence an agreement would eventually be reached, but "it seems we can't get out of the way of the political games that surround funding and operating the government."
S&P 500 futures fell 2.5 points and were slightly lower in terms of fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures rose 3 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 2 points.
The Commerce Department releases August durable goods orders at 8:30 a.m. EDT (1230 GMT). Economists in a Reuters survey expect an unchanged reading for August orders after a 7.4 percent drop in July. New home sales data for August is due at 10:00 a.m. (1400 GMT).
AutoZone shares dipped 0.5 percent in light premarket trading after the largest U.S. auto parts retailer reported a 15 percent rise in quarterly profit, mainly due to higher margins.
Carnival Corp shares fell 4.3 percent in premarket trading after several brokerage downgrades in the wake of the company's warning it could report an adjusted loss for the current quarter.
In budget negotiations in Washington, most Republicans shunned Senator Ted Cruz's diatribe overnight against President Barack Obama's health insurance reform law, which is delaying Senate consideration of a stop-gap funding measure needed to avoid a government shutdown in six days. Last week, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a version of the spending measure that denied funds to "Obamacare," but that will be stripped from the Senate version.
The House will have to decide whether to pass the revised bill or find a compromise with the Senate. Unless new funding is quickly approved, a government shutdown would begin on Tuesday.

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the GLC 43 AMG ahead of the SUV's debut at the 2016 New York International Auto Show.
The new GLC 43 AMG is powered by a 3-litre twin turbo V6 that produces 362bhp and 570Nm of torque. The power and torque is sent to all four wheels through a 9-speed automatic gearbox and the Mercedes 4-matic all-wheel drive system which has a rear biased torque distribution of 31 to 69 percent (front axle to rear axle).
The GLC 43 AMG can sprint from 0–100km/h in just 4.9 seconds and will keep on sprinting till it hits the electronic speed limiter at 250km/h. The new Merc's engine returns a mileage of 12km/l.
To bring the almost 1.85 ton GLC 43 AMG to a stop, Mercedes has fitted the SUV with 360mm disc brakes with four piston calipers. The rear wheels are brought to a halt using 320 mm discs with a single piston caliper.
The GLC 43 gets the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT switch which lets drivers choose between five driving modes – Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus, and Individual.
Also present is the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with adaptive damping adjustment in three levels.
Style wise, the GLC 43 AMG gets a AMG's distinctive blacked out take on the GLC's grille which features chrome pins.
Also new are the 19-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels painted in high gloss black. There are also 21-inch wheels available as an option.
Inside the GLC 43 AMG features a flat bottomed sports steering wheel behind which lies a twin pod instrument cluster with a small display in between. The sports seats are clad in artificial leather and features red stitching.
The GLC 43 AMG is expected to go on sale in June in Europe and will be pitted against the Porsche Macan GTS and the BMW X4 M40i.

Do not look at the rankings. Even though UEL is rated pretty low in the tables, me and my mates have had a very nice learning experience at UEL. Throughout the three years there have been some issues, of course; however all we could do was to help the university address this issues and improve. I have met fantastic people and overall I have had a great time; I have also received a lot of support from lecturers and the rest of the staff.
Their attendance policy is very very strict so if you are going to join any of their courses make sure you understand the rules.

Sao Luis, Maranhao, Brasil
The Love Island
Sao Luis is a historic and beautiful city of Brazil. First, it is the only city founded by French people, but it has a large architectural heritage made by Portuguese. You should know it because it is the heritage of humanity. Second, you ought to go to the beaches. They are wonderful! I can pick you up at the hotel to go there. Ponta D'Areia is the most beautiful among all. I think we will go there first. Finally, you cannot leave without trying the local food. You need to try baked fish, rice cuxa, vatapa, shrimp pie, etc. Hmm… oh you must bring your T-shirt, shorts, sun glasses and sandals because it is hot here every day. I think you will like it so much because Sao Luis is known as The Love Island and you had better dance reggae. Sao Luis is a wonderful place!

Espresso is a delicate art. It begins with the beans and ends in the hands of a barista, ideally working a manual grinder.
Even then, a grind too coarse can ruin the best beans, hot water flowing through the coffee too quickly in the machine. It's a fraction of a difference on a grinder and a recipe for an espresso that's too bitter, too weak. An espresso pulled well, born of great beans sought out on remote farms in the mountains of Guatemala, Costa Rica and Kenya, ground just right, the dark liquid in a small porcelain cup sings, a cascade of flavours.
"Espresso is fickle. It's a multivariable equation," said Kyle Straw, current Canadian barista champion and a store manager with Vancouver-based Caffè Artigiano Inc., a small chain of 14 cafés set to slowly expand to North America's largest cities: Toronto, Montreal, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles.
When Starbucks Corp. abandoned manual grinders a decade ago, sacrificing quality for speed, it planted the seed of a new wave of coffee sellers, from Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Portland and Chicago-based Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea Inc., to Vancouver's JJ Bean Coffee Roasters and Caffè Artigiano.
Now Artigiano -- Italian for artisan or craftsman -- is attempting a Starbucks-like ascent, not in sheer scale but in geographic scope. The same difficult equation exists: to maintain a delicate quality as the company gets larger and further flung. Like Starbucks before it, Artigiano has staked its expansion on developing quality workers at its existing cafés to open new stores and finding top-quality busy locations to draw in new customers one by one.
Annual sales of the privately held company are more than $10-million, up about 40 per cent as it has just gone through a burst of expansion.
"As you get bigger, the purists will say you'll never be as good as when you had one, two cafés. It's hard to convince them it's possible," said Willie Mounzer, CEO and co-owner of Artigiano. "We'll never be Starbucks. You just have to take it slow. If Artigiano can occupy this niche in Vancouver, it can do it anywhere."
Mr. Mounzer, 52, has helped do it before. In 1982, he started as a server at a new restaurant in Edmonton, Earls. The one-restaurant operation was chaotic in its first months and began to expand. Mr. Mounzer rose quickly and for years was a top executive, vice-president operations, as Earls expanded, never more than four stores in a year. The emphasis was always on quality, once hiring gourmet chef Michael Noble to oversee food development.
But Mr. Mounzer had always wanted his own show, the enterprising blood born of an entrepreneurial Lebanese family. His grandfather had moved to Canada in 1918, and he had grown up around strong Turkish blends in espresso cups. So when he walked in to one of the two Caffè Artigianos about seven years ago, he fell in love: "This is exactly what a cafe should be." He offered to buy Artigiano right away, but he was turned down several times.
Artigiano was born as the 1990s ended. Vince Piccolo had worked in Vancouver's fine dining business. He was starting a family and wanted a day job. He felt there was an absence of great coffee, so he opened Artigiano and several years later founded 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters. In 2006, when Artigiano had five cafés, he sold to Mr. Mounzer to focus on the roasting business, which supplies Artigiano and cafés around North America.
"At one point, Starbucks was the predator," Mr. Piccolo said. "They'd set up wherever there was an indie café. What's happening right now, indie cafés are opening near Starbucks and taking business. I don't know how Starbucks can compete."
It was Starbucks that taught North America the language and nuance of upscale coffee, started in Seattle in 1971, and launched on a continent-wide expansion in the late 1980s after chief executive officer Howard Schultz experienced the luxurious Italian tradition of espresso, convinced it would work in the United States and Canada.
It did -- and around the world. Starbucks is the world's biggest coffee chain with almost 17,000 stores, 1,051 of them in Canada.
Starbucks, however, lost its magic. Mr. Schultz, the company chairman, had stepped down as CEO in 2000 and returned to the post in 2008 to revive the company's spirit. One move is a new espresso machine, still automated but better than what is used in most of the locations.
A telling experiment is an attempted resurrection of Starbucks circa 1987 as the company imitates the upstart competitors it inspired. Last year, as part of what CEO Howard Schultz is calling "start-up mode, hand-to-hand combat," Starbucks opened 15th Avenue Coffee & Tea, and Roy Street Coffee & Tea, two faux independents in Seattle "inspired"-- and owned by -- Starbucks. Both stores use manual grinders-Mr. Schultz "always hated" the automatic machines, a Business Week story last summer said.
For Starbucks, it's a two-front war, as it also expands into instant coffee to deal with ambitious low-end coffee competitors such as McDonald's. "We were the leaders on specialty coffee and educated consumers on what truly good coffee should be," said Colin Moore, president of Starbucks Canada, in an answer to questions by e-mail. "We will continue to treat it as an art form to be nurtured and appreciated."
To Mr. Piccolo, it's can't be done well on a large scale, especially the good stuff.
"The coffee world has really evolved in the past five, 10 years, the science of extraction. A large corporation can't focus on that. Coffee's becoming more and more detailed. People will want to know where the coffee came from, how sustainable it is, how the farmer is treated, how much he was paid, the terroir of the farm."
(For beans it sells, 49th Parallel will list numerous details such as the farmer, the soil, the altitude of the farm, how the beans were processed. The emphasis on taste is extreme -- one Guatemalan coffee is said to have "engaging flavours of chocolate, anise, and orange with complex acidity, creamy texture and smooth butterscotch finish" -- and 49th Parallel's online slogan goes: "Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.")
The balance between growth and quality is tiny, Mr. Piccolo said. "If you're opening 10 stores a year, it's impossible."
Mr. Mounzer doesn't plan to open more than four a year and this year guesses he'll open two, with the aim to do it in the U.S., where he has a regional manager in both Chicago and L.A. Growth is naturally circumscribed by talent, which is slowly trained at existing Artigianos, as was the strategy at Earls. A cashier becomes a barista who becomes a store manager who eventually might open a new store.
"It's the right people who take care of the brand," Mr. Mounzer said.
JJ Bean, an Artigiano competitor in Vancouver, just opened its eighth café in the city, each of the JJs different than the others. Owner John Neate, whose grandfather was a large wholesaler of coffee in Vancouver, roasts coffee for several hundred cafés, including in Ottawa and Montreal, but he is wary about expansion on the retail side.
"I'd love to build stores in other cities but the way we do things is quite unique and quite limiting," Mr. Neate said. "For us to go to Toronto, we'd have to compromise what we do. You can only have so many stores, I don't know how many, but I think after 20 it's hard to remember all the managers names and their families. We're pretty close to our maximum size around 10."
At Artigiano, Mr. Mounzer began by building a foundation from which to grow, things such as ensuring all store managers had their own office and computer and did their café's cash, whereas the smaller business under Mr. Piccolo did daily cash through head office. Artigiano has already more than doubled to 14 under Mr. Mounzer and it also experiments beyond obvious downtown locations, such as one in a strip mall in Westbank near Kelowna in the British Columbia interior, and in a Vancouver outlet of London Drugs.
Beyond B.C., there are two Artigianos in Calgary.
On questions of quality as Artigiano grows, Mr. Mounzer points to the fact an Artigiano barista has won every single one of the seven Canadian barista championships, and current champ Mr. Straw heads to the world competition in London in June.
Pulling an espresso needs to be exact, but the right training means Artigiano (which employs about 230 people) can build the team to get bigger and without losing what makes it better, Mr. Straw said.
"It's very replicable."Report Typo/Error
