_k^{(0)}(t,\boldsymbol{\beta}_j)\,dt$.


\item[(A.4)] The kernel function $K(\cdot)$ is symmetric with support $[-1,1]$ and has bounded variation.
 The bandwidth satisfies   $nh^2\to\infty$ and $nh^5=O(1)$ as $n\to\infty$.

\item[ (A.5)]  There is a $\varepsilon > 0$ such that $r_k(W_{ki}) \ge \varepsilon$ for all $k,i$ with $\delta_{ki}=1$.

\end{itemize}

Discussion of some of these conditions can be found in Sun {\sl et al.}\ (2009).

Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) in “365 Days.” The film has received backlash from critics and audiences, alike, yet remained popular around the world.
Curious viewers have pushed obscure Polish flick, “365 Days,” to the top of Netflix’s trending, despite condemning ratings. New problematic themes — glorifying rape, kidnap and manipulation — seem to continue to bubble to the surface from each view, but “365 Days” prevails with record breaking popularity.
The protagonist — by default — Massimo (Michele Morrone) becomes the leader of the Torricelli crime family and uses his power to pinpoint the woman he has been obsessing over for years, Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka). Massimo kidnaps her from her troubled relationship and doubty life, and this plot point is just the beginning of disgustingly incorrect framing.
Massimo reveals his storybook timeline and gives her “365 days” to fall in love with him before she can be released from his lair.
The borderline pornagraphic film has continued to balance receiving backlash from critics yet maintain popularity throughout the world. In fact, “365 Days” is on track to be the most popular movie of 2020 on Netflix.
The plot thoughtfully weaves together manipulation and romance, which makes “365 Days” so intriguing. For instance, Laura’s fiery reactions to her kidnapping ease into a sexy tease throughout her year in captivity. This is far from a climactic point in the plot, but the manipulation of Laura’s personality facilitates an audience to overlook greater questionable themes.
An audience devoted to a sexy nod to Beauty and the Beast may be far and in between, but there is always an audience for “controversy.” Hence, if making waves was the goal of “365 Days,” Netflix has achieved that.
Although “365 Days” is a fictional movie, there’s a fine line between “depraved abduction turns to cookie-cutter fairy tale,” according to feminist website, Jezebel. The New York Times continued by addressing the “carnality to ogle” at in the film, exemplifying that consent is fluid instead of direct.
These ideas are partially derived from the first peek into Massimo’s love life before Laura. His suave demeanor is at risk when he forces a flight attendant to perform oral sex, but his charm is only muddled when the woman emerges from the cabin with a small smile. Next, Massimo attempts to lure Laura by making her watch staged intimacy with a prostitute.
Despite his mysogic introduction, he still framed the kidnapping as a grand romantic gesture — comparing his actions to Greek mythology. Against all odds, Laura even jestingly agrees with his self proclaimed royalty.
Although “365 Days” clearly had murky intentions, it is projected to continue to draw audiences — Morrone confirmed a sequel last month, according to TMZ.
Massimo and Laura’s happily ever after in “365 Days” is definitely one for the books — it’s just questionable which genre suits it the most: erotica, crime or romance. The tone of the film could also lean more toward shock than an actual genre.
WHENEVER one speaks to Mus­lims propagating their religion, among the points they are likely to raise is that Christians do not know anything about the authors of the New Testament, or the Twelve in general. In most cases, that is true; this information can be found only by sorting through often volumin­ous academic materials. Therefore, a popular book addressing the subject is to be welcomed.
This book approaches that need, but often the author’s scepticism towards religion colours his treatment of the subject, and is not helped by occasional expletives. His fleeting treatment of James, son of Zebedee, in the closing chapter, is particularly inadequate, especially since Santiago de Com­pos­tela is a Roman Catholic shrine. Bissell also misunderstands Nestor­­ius as holding to “a Jesus whose div­in­­ity did not precede his conception”.
As the title indicates, this is a study of the apostles, looking, some­­times too briefly, at their biographies, including well-known legends; and looking also at places where a tradition of pilgrimage or the observance of a shrine has arisen. Some places are surprising, as is Bissell’s choice of a first chapter — focusing on Judas Iscariot and the field of Hakeldama, which, per­haps shocking to some, nevertheless attracts visitors (”pilgrims” is maybe an inappropriate word). Bissell misunderstands Judas’s return of the blood money as his having “repented”, whereas the Greek word implies “regret” (of the conse­quences of one’s act).
What is especially useful in the book is Bissell’s treatment of the more obscure apostles, such as Bartholomew. Apart from a possible identification with Nathanael in John’s Gospel, we know little of him. Bissell recounts traditions of his encountering a gruesome martyr’s death at the hands of Armenian heathens. Another point is the British connection, which begins with Bartholomew’s arm, allegedly sold to Edward the Con­fessor. The Apostle was venerated here, as churches and hospitals (for example, St Barts) bear witness.
A Byzantine saint allegedly brought some of Andrew’s relics to Scotland, and the Saltire (and thus the Union flag) commemorate this link. Bissell tells us of fifth- and sixth-century Coptic legends of Simon the Zealot’s travelling to Britain.
The book is replete with fascin­ating and sometimes amusing tales. Predictably, the author’s treatment of Peter takes us to the Vatican. Bissell suggests that claims that he was buried there could be more than mere legend, and devotes consid­er­able space to archaeological in­­vest­­igations. A tomb found in Jerusalem in 1952 is, however, a potential rival to this claim. Aca­dem­­­ics may look elsewhere, but this is an interesting popular book.
