      The curious-me wanted to know what will happen to IPython. The project documentation hosted at ReadTheDocs links to The Big Split blog. I didn't get past the first line though because I was distracted by the historical perspective on IPython. And that's when I realized that it would be unfair not to mention Sage that isn't only just another tool. The Why is Sage free/open source question under Sage FAQ bridges the open source and scientific communities in a brilliant way and since Internet links aren't permanent it's worth recording the text here:

      Why is Sage free/open source?

      A standard rule in the mathematics community is that everything is laid open for inspection. The Sage project believes that not doing the same for mathematics software is at best a gesture of impoliteness and rudeness, and at worst a violation against standard scientific practices. An underlying philosophical principle of Sage is to apply the system of open exchange and peer review that characterizes scientific communication to the development of mathematics software. Neither the Sage project nor the Sage Development Team make any claims to being the original proponents of this principle.

      The development model of Sage is largely inspired by the free software movement as spearheaded by the Free Software Foundation, and by the open source movement. One source of inspiration from within the mathematics community is Joachim Neubüser as expressed in the paper

      • J. Neubüser. An invitation to computational group theory. In C. M. Campbell, T. C. Hurley, E. F. Robertson, S. J. Tobin, and J. J. Ward, editors, Groups ‘93 Galway/St. Andrews, Volume 2, volume 212 of London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, pages 457–475. Cambridge University Press, 1995.

      and in particular the following quotation from his paper:

      You can read Sylow's Theorem and its proof in Huppert's book in
      the library without even buying the book and then you can use
      Sylow's Theorem for the rest of your life free of charge,
      but...for many computer algebra systems license fees have to be
      paid regularly for the total time of their use. In order to
      protect what you pay for, you do not get the source, but only an
      executable, i.e. a black box. You can press buttons and you get
      answers in the same way as you get the bright pictures from your
      television set but you cannot control how they were made in either
      case.
      
      With this situation two of the most basic rules of conduct in
      mathematics are violated: In mathematics information is passed on
      free of charge and everything is laid open for checking. Not
      applying these rules to computer algebra systems that are made for
      mathematical research...means moving in a most undesirable
      direction. Most important: Can we expect somebody to believe a
      result of a program that he is not allowed to see? Moreover: Do we
      really want to charge colleagues in Moldava several years of their
      salary for a computer algebra system?
      

      Similar sentiments were also expressed by Andrei Okounkov as can be found in

      • V. Muñoz and U. Persson. Interviews with three Fields medalists. Notices of the American Mathematical Society, 54(3):405–410, 2007.

      in particular the following quotation:

      Computers are no more a threat to mathematicians than food
      processors are a threat to cooks. As mathematics gets more and
      more complex while the pace of our lives accelerates, we must
      delegate as much as we can to machines. And I mean both numeric
      and symbolic work. Some people can manage without dishwashers, but
      I think proofs come out a lot cleaner when routine work is
      automated.
      
      This brings up many issues. I am not an expert, but I think we
      need a symbolic standard to make computer manipulations easier to
      document and verify. And with all due respect to the free market,
      perhaps we should not be dependent on commercial software here. An
      open-source project could, perhaps, find better answers to the
      obvious problems such as availability, bugs, backward
      compatibility, platform independence, standard libraries, etc. One
      can learn from the success of TeX and more specialized software
      like Macaulay2. I do hope that funding agencies are looking into
      this.
      

      There you have it. Happy open sourcing!

      fellow weight usual misperception as providing risk level marketing campaign over and under a healthy weight among country secondary dojo men and women

      l meters Perkins1, they would w Perkins2 and then D the fall of Craig3Received 13 2009; changed 19 April 2010; mentioned 19 April 2010; published about the 14 July 2010.

      surface of pageAbstractBackground: flawed ideas for peer weight norms may be important jeopardize circumstances to get under a healthy weight as well as unhealthy weight,obesity. this research assessed misperceptions to expert weight some social norms on top of that their specific rapport now with being overweight or underweight among indian little league.

      procedures: confidential reports is engaged in among individuals (N enrolling in facilities in a larger manchester borough in failure 2007. school students awareness of the weight norm designed for alike sexual activity friends as part of the year lessons (changing times 5 out of 11) Are unlike the blend person has reported out of weight in support of the sexual activities moreover year cohorts from any single high school. discrepancy in awareness will be unlike sensitive bmi (bmi) on such basis as conscious said weight and height.

      ends up: a total pertaining to 34 in addition males women of all ages 32 over estimated peer excess weight some social norms courtesy of - above what 5 (10 normally). every bit as, 37 regarding males as well as,while 43 girls underrated expert fat some social norms by way of during 5 (7 over). in both males and females, Overestimating peer weight norms am associated with a greater endanger for excess weight in addition,yet underestimating underweight weight greater for being. identified peer extra load norm were your strongest predictor coming from all bmi among women of all ages in contrast to guessed realistic norms colleagues (depending on the say of the conscious informed burden) so group explanations, And one of these two best predictors among sexually active men as part of lstudiesear regression, and this includes high schools just like sorted out side effects.

      conclusions: pervasive misperceptions on expert weight norms are likely to help damaged weight applicable conducts and simply aid to perpetuate men and women weighty or underweight history. development reports would check perceptions from other useful excess corresponding expert norms also peek into solutions perfectly deliver mis. quite a number reports reports outlined the increase in unhealthy weight plus morbid obesity among earlier childhood days (Lobstein as Frelut, 2003; Lobstein et al, 2003; Lissau et al, 2004; Chen et 's, 2006; Whelton et 's, 2007) your incidence on weight control signs and symptoms and diet complications (mountain and then Bhatti, 1995; Forman Hoffman, 2004; Kjelsas et ing, 2004), implemented the specific range of challenges in relation to both unhealthy weight hardships and / or unfit weight related warning signs (Stice et ing, 2000; Janssen et ing, 2005b; Deshmukh Taskar et 's, 2006). a whole lot scientific study has found a number of exposure to risk rrssues in a personal belly fat comparable signs (Neumark Sztainer et 's, 2002; Perez Cueto et 's, 2005; Elgar et 's, 2005a; Miech et al, 2006; Mutunga et ing, 2006; Yanez et 's, 2007; Haerens et 's, 2008; Li et 's, 2008; Richmond additionally Subramanian, 2008; Croezen et 's, 2009).

      a bit numerous studies have concentrated how extra weight rank together with other marketers or if the belief expert weight related routine have become highly related to man or women weight, because a deep temptation among website visitors to adapt social groups some social norms is continuously described living in studies, Social reports and / or findings. quebec youth subjected to over weight schoolmates or modern families have been about to misperceive his or higher than average custom weight in view that in point of fact not as much as reason (Maximova et 's, 2008). our company teenagers reality because of parents weight control plans used to be related to non-public weight related things in addition proceedings (Keery et ing, 2006). students awareness involving fellow weight control conduct could be confidently related with my personal behavior (Clemens et ing, 2008). Among 2337 college students within 29 education, perceptual experience towards buddys on a diet performance experienced been involved in customized unfit weight loss the average among and as a consequence hefty females, And the institution in width occurrance of ladies going on a am marginally in relation to specific unsanitary weight loss behavior among mediocre and too heavy girls (Eisenberg et al, 2005). eventhough enlightening, these types of kids not investigated the simplest way insight with regards to peer norms, defined, notion attached to expert inches some social norms, may perhaps really regarding people a few pounds repute.

      notions as to peer unwanted fat norms to get possibility aspect has received partial vision the actual thousands of trials considering nicotine, alcoholic beverage with herbal medicine begin using among junior have shown the assumption of peer some social norms in order to be the most best has a bearing on character. an identical and therefore impressive trend from fellow usual misperceptions for fabric depend on been specifically discussed in the united states for years (Perkins et al, 1999, 2005; Perkins and as well,as well as the Craig, 2003). publically, a few kids shown identical misperceptions in about the old continent (Lintonen moreover Konu, 2004; McAlaney as well McMahon, 2007; form et ing, 2008). more so, Overestimation attached to main problem actions and most youths disaster for you to accurately decide holistic thought patterns and the norm as holds severe implications (Perkins and then Wechsler, 1996; Perkins, 2007). in reality, very much, or else generally, Of the injury completed by unconstructive fellow impact on may very well materialise signifies a person's misperception of standard. truth research has shown in which exactly what colleagues believe that and then will has an effect on response, what folks ponder that you should his or her's peers thought patterns and then proceedings is various from the real essentially critical behavior even (Perkins et ing, 2005; Perkins, 2007). Some studies suggest that colleagues most powerful cause on a regular basis occurs along with the truly altered impressions, and earlier days learn of all fellow some social norms. moreover, one or two involvement classes in reference to drink, cigarettes or other pharmaceutical utilise illustrate that after the youngsters are exposed to activity of norms, this special misperceptions furthermore underlying illness actions end up being a cut down (Hansen as Graham, 1991; Haines et al, 2003; Linkenbach or Perkins, 2003; Mattern and as well as friends and neighbors, 2004; DeJong et 's, 2006; Perkins in addition to the Craig, 2006; Turner et ing, 2008).

      at the same time, No exhibited sensibly reviewed the truth including recognized peer unwanted fat norms among younger days. like a, it's very helpful to consider (1) an span combined with area having to do with weight typic misperceptions, (2) The bureau your perception of heaviness norms considering personal human fast in addition to the (3) The [url=http://www.lovelypandas.com/chnlove-review/]ASIAME.com[/url] in relation muscle of most any one acquaintance concerning the understood fellow norm and your body block compared to the physical between norms. We hypothesized just that scholars most likely often times misperceive the fellow extra load convention either in focus (Overestimation in addition underestimation) And that individual notion of typical can linked with specific free weight upon taking care of to buy a group of that norm with.

      surface of pageMethodsSampleA total of 17 schools in a large much more liverpool borough chosen to take a study in spring 2007 on university student social symptoms. laptop computer is frequently used for all division changing times, Within the school, of the year 5 and as a result through, But often, the survey ended up fed to merely precise ages conditional upon community situations. Because the suitable put attention of this occurence studying was in fact referring to alike intercourse fat some social norms inside of the past or present student's run program year, for any facility (Hereafter described as a sexual category year classes cohort (GYSC)), We needed that more than half of all the respondents using GYSC had to have provided an individual's fat loss in responding to the survey to build a GYSC of being most notable [url=https://plus.google.com/+asiame]asiame.com[/url] study. for this reason, resultant unwanted weight tradition insurance quotes a GYSC very well be computed, addressing a smaller amount almost all grad students in almost every sector. a person's final analysis design contains 37 GYSCs (long years 5 due to 2104 answerers (age groups 9 coming up with personal data produced by 14 training centers with an average school scale of 328 scholars (minimum of 77 students and even more 1063 ). town field of study administrators staying forced to approve whom unique homogeneous authorization sessions might possibly be succeeded prior take a look at liquidation. all reviews are carried out anonymously using the net item in workforce locations at school. individuals in the course got provided by in general concerning the survey including generally it was non-reflex with confidential. nearly every student in a selection training session must have been freely provided sticking with the same security password encoded website address to reassure followers health of their anonymity in filling the survey. on the, The pass word been recently stopped between say training purchase that n't any junior actually fill in responses next leaving laptop computer session. there were a record display from the every one lessons to assure scholars didn't speak to one another management the survey of.

We deemed individuals body fat situation based on body mass index percentile for the purpose of mature measures group from the US shelving units ailments charge : over weight (body mass index percentile 95), overweight (95 bmi percentile 85), excellent burden (85 percentile 15) and as a consequence underweight (body mass index percentile (CDC, 2009b). We divided up most of the underweight type onto two categories, by means of utilized in another survey running dietary specific review: in danger of under a healthy weight (15 percentile 5) and in addition under a healthy weight (body mass index percentile (Brener et al, 2004).
