Toronto's Shelters During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
This study seeks to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the occupancy of Toronto’s homeless shelters. From the public Shelter Occupancy data set it is observed that during the spread of the virus, demand for spaces in shelters decreased significantly. Although there is not enough data available to fully comprehend the causal factors of this perhaps surprising result.
Introduction
The Toronto open data portal contains many up to date public data sets concerning the cities on goings, one of which is the homeless shelter occupancy statistics. It is conveniently for our use updated every day so we can examine the daily changes of those utilizing the city’s public shelters (City of Toronto 2020). Given the availability of this data alongside the obvious confirmed COVID-19 cases data for the city I decided to examine the impact of the pandemic on Toronto’s shelters (City of Toronto 2020). The results that were observed are quite interesting, and perhaps counter-intuitive.
To run a comparative analysis of these two data sets the following variables were used:
Shelter data set: date, daily capacity, daily occupancy
COVID-19 data set: date, daily new cases
Data Exploration
To first contextualize the analysis, the timeline of positive COVID-19 cases in Toronto can be seen in Figure 1. The extent of the virus was realized in mid-March when new cases had started to significantly escalate. At this point the city of Toronto and provincial government began to implement restrictions on the number of people allowed in enclosed areas, including in public spaces such as homeless shelters (Nielsen 2020). These were put in place for the safety of citizens health and to mitigate the spread of the virus, though for spaces such as shelters this could have potentially worked in the detriment of those that rely on the shelter system. Perhaps even more so during a period of economic downturn that saw unemployment in the city rise by almost 10%, which could potentially cause a rise in demand for shelters with the looming housing crisis (Statistics Canada 2020).
As crowd restrictions had to be put in place, the number of people that existing homeless shelters could accommodate would have to decrease. The evident effect of the pandemic on shelter capacity is reflected below.
Figure 2 shows that prior to COVID-19 protocols shelters had the capacity to accommodate between 7000-7500 people daily. And we can see in that in response to the pandemic the city actually increased their capacity in March by re-purposing commercial spaces such as hotels and motels that were closed as part of the COVID-19 response (City of Toronto 2020). However we surprisingly see a sharp decline in capacity after then till now (September). The data set’s description states that capacity is not a metric defined by the number of available beds, rather it is actually based on the funding provided to the city’s shelters. Hence we can see that funding for shelters’ capacity actually decreased during the pandemic. Now this posits the question of whether this was a supply or demand side shock, mechanistically what caused this decline in shelters capacity?
The data presented below may help us answer that question:
Figure 3 provides us with the insight we may need to answer the posited question. The top diagram visualizes the occupancy of Toronto’s shelters, and was affected similar to how shelter capacities were affected by the virus. From April when COVID-19 cases in the city began to significantly rise shelters started to actually decrease in occupancy. For those suffering from a lack of housing one may think that demand for shelters would increase during the pandemic, as people would be averse to spending the night in public or crowded areas.
Though we can see this was actually not the case, not only did the number of occupants change, Figure 3 highlights how the percentage of occupancy decreased as well (i.e. number of occupants/capacity). Prior to COVID-19 protocols we can see that shelters were sitting at around 95% of capacity, however from April onwards the figure actually began to decline, falling as low as 65%. Hence it is evident that the decrease in funding for capacity in shelters was actually caused by a decrease in demand from the public.
Closing Remarks
Of course the available statistics can’t explain the whole story, so it would be unwise to simply conclude that demand for shelters decreased, hence the city began to invest less in them. The data set lacks some critical information that would assist in explaining the mechanism by which this has occured. One of the reasons being a temporary housing program put in to place during the pandemic, which re-settled some shelter users in to apartments to further curb the spread of the virus (Kivanc 2020). The figures from this program were unfortunately not included in the shelters data set.
Additionally many members of the homeless community became concerned with the response of some shelters to the pandemic, citing that many were not taking social distancing protocols seriously. This coupled with news of the virus spreading in some shelters pressured many to decide to stop spending nights at the shelter they would usually frequent, and rather look for alternatives including homeless encampments where they would have the safety of having their own tents (Medford 2020, Ferreira 2020).
Whether the city’s COVID-19 response with respect to the homeless community has been successful is yet to be seen, more research in to shelter users reaction to the pandemic would need to be conducted. All figures have been compiled together below for the convenience of the reader:

Kahaniyo ka pitara is a magical box of stories which works in two modes, listening and recording. You can either listen to a curated collection of stories categorized according to the genre and are played on fixed channels which you can tune in by rotating the knob, or you can switch to the recording mode where you can record your own stories, and push it to the collection which later is mixed with other stories and randomly served to other listeners who are tuned in online from a different place on their own box. The name is inspired from a radio show 'Pitara', meaning a box full of surprises.
The idea is to create a slow and meaningful story telling and sharing experience by crafting a playful interaction
which reinforces the idea of being receptive, listening and to evoke an aesthetic of wait. Contrary to the idea of
how smart objects and media interactions are designed today, filled with enormous amount of information of all
sorts, multi-functional and demanding micro-interactions, it tries to make the user more focused, delicate and more importantly not to go very mechanical with it.
Concept
The Pitara is designed in such a way, that if you interact with it too much, it stops functioning and start playing
a noise until you tune it properly. There is a little play between the tuning of different channels; at any given
time there are options of listing to maximum of seven stories and one recording, as you open the box/start it, a
fair chance of listening to all the seven stories of different genre is given, which you can tune in one by one and
listen from the beginning, before deciding on which one you want to listen to. There is a time threshold in which
you can decide which story you want to listen today, and once you cross the time, you either only get to listen to
the current story you are on or you get all the stories in between hence losing on bits of stories which you can
fill up with your own imagination. Although, If you finish any one story from start to finish, you get a chance to
listen to all the stories from start to finish on all the seven channels and also to push one of your own story to
the collection, which later others can will get a chance to listen and enjoy.

These functions provide hostname-to-address and address-to-hostname lookups by means of the lightweight resolver. They are similar to the standard gethostent(3) functions provided by most operating systems. They use a struct hostent which is usually defined in <namedb.h>.
struct hostent { char *h_name; /* official name of host */ char **h_aliases; /* alias list */ int h_addrtype; /* host address type */ int h_length; /* length of address */ char **h_addr_list; /* list of addresses from name server */ }; #define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* address, for backward compatibility */
The members of this structure are:
h_name
The official (canonical) name of the host.
h_aliases
A NULL-terminated array of alternate names (nicknames) for the host.
h_addrtype
The type of address being returned — PF_INET or PF_INET6.
h_length
The length of the address in bytes.
h_addr_list
A NULL terminated array of network addresses for the host. Host addresses are returned in network byte order.
For backward compatibility with very old software,
h_addr
is the first address in
h_addr_list.
lwres_gethostent()
,
lwres_sethostent()
,
lwres_endhostent()
,
lwres_gethostent_r()
,
lwres_sethostent_r()
and
lwres_endhostent_r()
provide iteration over the known host entries on systems that
provide such functionality through facilities like
/etc/hosts
or NIS. The lightweight resolver does not currently implement
these functions; it only provides them as stub functions that always
return failure.
lwres_gethostbyname()
and
lwres_gethostbyname2()
look up the hostname
name.
lwres_gethostbyname()
always looks for an IPv4
address while lwres_gethostbyname2()
looks for an
address of protocol family af: either
PF_INET or PF_INET6 — IPv4 or IPV6
addresses respectively. Successful calls of the functions return a
struct hostentfor the name that was looked up.
NULL is returned if the lookups by
lwres_gethostbyname()
or
lwres_gethostbyname2()
fail.
Reverse lookups of addresses are performed by
lwres_gethostbyaddr()
.
addr is an address of length
len bytes and protocol family
type — PF_INET or
PF_INET6.
lwres_gethostbyname_r()
is a thread-safe function
for forward lookups. If an error occurs, an error code is returned in
*error.
resbuf is a pointer to a struct
hostent which is initialised by a successful call to
lwres_gethostbyname_r()
.
buf is a buffer of length
len bytes which is used to store the
h_name
, h_aliases
, and
h_addr_list
elements of the struct
hostent returned in resbuf.
Successful calls to lwres_gethostbyname_r()
return resbuf,
which is a pointer to the struct hostent it created.
lwres_gethostbyaddr_r()
is a thread-safe function
that performs a reverse lookup of address addr
which is len bytes long and is of protocol
family type — PF_INET or
PF_INET6. If an error occurs, the error code is returned
in *error. The other function parameters are
identical to those in lwres_gethostbyname_r()
.
resbuf is a pointer to a struct
hostent which is initialised by a successful call to
lwres_gethostbyaddr_r()
.
buf is a buffer of length
len bytes which is used to store the
h_name
, h_aliases
, and
h_addr_list
elements of the struct
hostent returned in resbuf. Successful
calls to lwres_gethostbyaddr_r()
return
resbuf, which is a pointer to the
struct hostent()
it created.
The functions
lwres_gethostbyname()
,
lwres_gethostbyname2()
,
lwres_gethostbyaddr()
,
and
lwres_gethostent()
return NULL to indicate an error. In this case the global variable
lwres_h_errno
will contain one of the following error codes defined in
<lwres/netdb.h>:
HOST_NOT_FOUND
The host or address was not found.
TRY_AGAIN
A recoverable error occurred, e.g., a timeout. Retrying the lookup may succeed.
NO_RECOVERY
A non-recoverable error occurred.
NO_DATA
The name exists, but has no address information associated with it (or vice versa in the case of a reverse lookup). The code NO_ADDRESS is accepted as a synonym for NO_DATA for backwards compatibility.
lwres_hstrerror(3) translates these error codes to suitable error messages.
lwres_gethostent()
and
lwres_gethostent_r()
always return
NULL.
Successful calls to lwres_gethostbyname_r()
and
lwres_gethostbyaddr_r()
return
resbuf, a pointer to the struct
hostent that was initialised by these functions. They return
NULL if the lookups fail or if buf
was too small to hold the list of addresses and names referenced by
the h_name
, h_aliases
, and
h_addr_list
elements of the struct
hostent. If buf was too small, both
lwres_gethostbyname_r()
and
lwres_gethostbyaddr_r()
set the global variable
errno to ERANGE.
lwres_gethostbyname()
,
lwres_gethostbyname2()
,
lwres_gethostbyaddr()
and
lwres_endhostent()
are not thread safe; they return pointers to static data and
provide error codes through a global variable.
Thread-safe versions for name and address lookup are provided by
lwres_gethostbyname_r()
,
and
lwres_gethostbyaddr_r()
respectively.
The resolver daemon does not currently support any non-DNS name services such as /etc/hosts or NIS, consequently the above functions don't, either.

Lying just to the west of Penzance, Newlyn is the nearest all-tide mainland port to the Scilly Isles. It is primarily a fishing port.
Position 50°06.2'N. 05°32.6'W.
Newlyn does not have a permanent berthing facility, although it does have finger pontoons usually available for visiting yachts for up to a week or more (if needed) with all tide access. Can be a bit roly in strong S to ESE winds as the Harbour entrance is open in that direction, and the bay is exposed to a long fetch from this quarter.
A useful port of refuge, however fishing boats always have priority here.
In offshore winds, anchor 200m north-east of Newlyn entrance in Gwavas Lake in depths of around 2m.

The clock applet now has three parameters; the background color (bgcolor), the main foreground color (the hands and dial) (fgcolor1) and the secondary foreground color (the seconds hand and numbers) (fgcolor2). These three parameters are hexadecimal RGB numbers (like the ones used for the body bgcolor tag in HTML). For example:
<applet code="Clock.class" width=170 height=150>
<param name=bgcolor value="000000">
<param name=fgcolor1 value="ff0000">
<param name=fgcolor2 value="ff00ff">
</applet>
would give you a black background, a red dial and hands, and purple numbers.
For those who don't convert to hexadecimal easily, here are some common values:


PAIV was founded on October 3, 1990 by a local agency Fraud Investigator as a grass roots attempt to improve the state’s program integrity efforts and to increase the professionalism of Virginian’s investigative staff. A small group of investigators met in Richmond to unite the Regional Fraud Committees into a statewide group for the purpose of making the State Department of Social Services, the local agencies, the legislature, and the public aware of the problem of welfare fraud.
In the ensuing years, PAIV has worked diligently to put the fraud control function in the proper perspective and to integrate that function into the overall operation of DSS. We have always held as our mandate that controlling welfare fraud is an issue of program integrity and as such, should be treated as a departmental goal and function. In 1998, PAIV successfully petitioned the VA General Assembly to make fraud investigation a mandated program and the State Board of Social Services was charged with the responsibility of designing the operational guidelines to accomplish that purpose. DSS, under the insightful leadership of Commissioner Clarence Carter, responded by establishing a Office of the Inspector General, by significantly increasing the Central Office fraud staff and expanding their function, and by contracting with VISSTA to provide much needed training opportunities for new and existing fraud investigative staff.


Ghana Power-lifting organises Para Power-lifting Open Championship
Accra, Nov. 21, GNA - The National Paralympic Committee (NPC) - Ghana in collaboration with the Limitless Foundation and the Ghana Para Power-lifting Association (GPPA) on November 16, organised a one-day Para Power-lifting Open Championship at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra.
The GPPA and the NPC-Ghana used the championship to select national team players for the Abuja 2020, Manchester 2020 and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in February and August next year respectively.
In total 17 athletes from the Brong, Ashanti, Northern and Greater Accra Regions competed in different categories.
The AH (Haleczko) formula – which multiplies a corresponding body weight coefficient by the best weight lifted by the athlete to give the ranking points was used for the assessment of the athletes.
The event was sponsored by Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City and was attended by the President of the Nigerian Para Power-lifting Federation who also sent two (2) Internationally Accredited Category two Referees from Nigeria to officiate the competition.
Also in attendance was Mr. Ben Nunoo Mensah – President of the Ghana Olympic Committee/Ghana Weightlifting Federation President and representatives from the French Embassy Mad. Genevieve Patington.
Para Power-lifting is a strength sport that consists of only Benchpress and is practiced by persons with lower limb physical disability/impairment.

During DebConf, Asheesh presented the idea of using git instead of the file system for storing the contents of Debian Code Search. The hope was that it would lead to fewer disk seeks and less data due to gits delta-encoding. Maybe the reduction would be big enough that enough data could be held in RAM to allow for fast retrieval.
Joey Hess helped me out with a couple of details: he revealed that using
git repack -a -d
will lead to a single packfile that optimally
contains HEAD, not caring about the history. Also, he showed me how to use
git cat-file
. We did a small-scale experiment and the results were
promising. I told him I’ll do the experiment of just committing the entire

Even after repeating those tests a couple of times to get a warm page cache, the result stays the same: git takes about 5 seconds to resolve the deltas in a large repository. Even if this was 5 seconds startup time and a very small amount of additional time per file, it would not be acceptable for our use case.
The conclusion is that git is clearly not suitable for this kind of usage,
which is not surprising after having heard a couple of times that git does not
scale :-). For the curious, the .git/objects
directory is 29 GiB
for roughly 140 GiB of source code, so the delta encoding is quite impressive
in terms of saving space. However, keep in mind that the compressed (!) Debian
source archive is about 35 GiB, so the savings are not that huge.


Example Word Document
The Headers In Word Repeat
Expectations Are Created
A possible explanation that the same title is used over and over again is that since people who use Microsoft PowerPoint also tend to use Microsoft Word, they have the same expectations as to the functionality of what they are doing -- i.e., using the same title again and again on each and every slide, thinking it is some kind of "header/footer" equivalent, or the equavalent of a document title.  PowerPoint is just a common -- and therefore easily understood -- example).
The Version of Technology Matters
Confusion May Arise Due To Differences In Technology
Microsoft provides fantastic instructions on how to add titles to a PowerPoint slide, but confusion may arise when the images on the video don't match the one on your screen. For example, no "subtitle" slide is seen in this video. It's a subtle difference, but can lead to confusion when first starting to learn the ropes of accessibility (By the way, this is a great video -- please watch it no matter what version of technology you're using)

Parameter file usage¶
To run Enterprise from a command line using a parameter file on a first pair of .par-.tim files in your data directory, please go to examples/
and run:
$ python run_example_paramfile.py --prfile example_paramfile.dat --num 0
Parameter file options¶
{x} (a number in curly brackets): a separator, indicating that following parameters are only for model ‘x’. If we specify more than one model and choose ptmcmc sampeler, Enterprise is launched in model comparison mode using the product-space method and
class HyperModel
from enterprise_extensions.datadir: directory with .par and .tim files
out: output directory with Enterprise/Bilby results
overwrite: option to overwrite overwrite an old Enterprise output
allpulsars: whether to run analysis on all pulsars, or on a single pulsar (True/False)
noisefiles: path to .json noise files needed to fix white noise parameters
sampler: choose ptmcmcsampler or any of the samplers compatible with Bilby
Parameter file also automatically recognizes:
- Priors. Default parameters of prior distributions are set in ModelParams
class or its child class where you specify your custom noise models.
- Sampler keyword arguments. I.e., dlogz. They should only be specified after the sampler.

Getting Started
Interactive fiction is a literary format that the reader interacts with and directs. As the reader you'll type commands in natural language, like "open door" or "unlock chest". Many frequently used commands can often be abbreviated; instead of typing "go north" one can instead type "n" for example. Likewise all the other directions, "i" for "inventory" and "g" for "again" are commonplace. Look in the above references to get a lot more information on playing interactive fiction in general.
Gargoyle provides a file browser to peruse installed stories and play them. Use the touch screen
or cursor keys to browse to /usr/local/share/IF
and go through the list and press
the Open
button to start one. You may find that this is quite a bit easier if you
use a stylus or the keyboard.
Please note that this is the free version of Gargoyle (called gargoyle-free
in various
Linux distributions) and does not have the ability to play Hugo titles.
Extensions
This PocketInstaller copy of Gargoyle includes a handful of sample stories that you can play immediately. More stories can be downloaded from the Interactive Fiction Archive linked above. Not all available formats can be played with Lectrote; look specifically for Z-Machine, Glulx, TADS, ADRIFT, Alan, Magnetic, and Level 9 files.

docker attach
Description
Attach local standard input, output, and error streams to a running container
Usage
docker attach [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
Options
| Name, shorthand | Default | Description |
--detach-keys |
Override the key sequence for detaching a container | |
--no-stdin |
Do not attach STDIN | |
--sig-proxy |
true |
Proxy all received signals to the process |
Parent command
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| docker | The base command for the Docker CLI. |
Extended description
Use docker attach
to attach your terminal’s standard input, output, and error
(or any combination of the three) to a running container using the container’s
ID or name. This allows you to view its ongoing output or to control it
interactively, as though the commands were running directly in your terminal.
Note: The
attach
command will display the output of theENTRYPOINT/CMD
process. This can appear as if the attach command is hung when in fact the process may simply not be interacting with the terminal at that time.
You can attach to the same contained process multiple times simultaneously, from different sessions on the Docker host.
To stop a container, use CTRL-c
. This key sequence sends SIGKILL
to the
container. If --sig-proxy
is true (the default),CTRL-c
sends a SIGINT
to
the container. If the container was run with -i
and -t
, you can detach from
a container and leave it running using the CTRL-p CTRL-q
key sequence.
Note: A process running as PID 1 inside a container is treated specially by Linux: it ignores any signal with the default action. So, the process will not terminate on
SIGINT
orSIGTERM
unless it is coded to do so.
It is forbidden to redirect the standard input of a docker attach
command
while attaching to a tty-enabled container (i.e.: launched with -t
).
While a client is connected to container’s stdio using docker attach
, Docker
uses a ~1MB memory buffer to maximize the throughput of the application. If
this buffer is filled, the speed of the API connection will start to have an
effect on the process output writing speed. This is similar to other
applications like SSH. Because of this, it is not recommended to run
performance critical applications that generate a lot of output in the
foreground over a slow client connection. Instead, users should use the
docker logs
command to get access to the logs.
Override the detach sequence
If you want, you can configure an override the Docker key sequence for detach. This is useful if the Docker default sequence conflicts with key sequence you use for other applications. There are two ways to define your own detach key sequence, as a per-container override or as a configuration property on your entire configuration.
To override the sequence for an individual container, use the
--detach-keys="<sequence>"
flag with the docker attach
command. The format of
the <sequence>
is either a letter [a-Z], or the ctrl-
combined with any of
the following:
a-z
(a single lowercase alpha character )@
(at sign)[
(left bracket)\\
(two backward slashes)_
(underscore)^
(caret)
These a
, ctrl-a
, X
, or ctrl-\\
values are all examples of valid key
sequences. To configure a different configuration default key sequence for all
containers, see Configuration file section.

NIGHT AND THE CITY (1950) A film review by Rod Crawford Copyright 1997 Rod Crawford
20th Century Fox, B&W, 96 min. Film-Noir Director: Jules Dassin Cinematographer: Max Greene (a.k.a. Mutz Greenbaum) Screenplay by Jo Eisinger from the 1946 novel by Gerald Kersh. Stars: Richard Widmark, Francis L. Sullivan, Googie Withers, Gene Tierney, Herbert Lom, Stanislaus Zbyszko. Full details in Internet Movie Database.
Though filmed in London, with a partly British cast (5 of the credited players, including stars Widmark and Tierney, were American), this is very much a Hollywood film, and about as "noir" as Hollywood ever got. If I were picking the Ultimate Film Noir, 'Night and the City' would be a leading candidate.
In the gritty underworld of post-WWII London, Harry Fabian (Widmark) is a small-time shill and all-around hustler. Though completely unprincipled, Harry remains almost likeable through his childlike, imaginative eagerness, and because he is the underdog. Yes, success in his chosen field has eluded Harry; but his certainty that each new scheme will bring him the "life of ease and plenty" makes him feel justified in swindling or stealing from anyone, even the woman (Tierney) who inexplicably loves him. Harry's latest scheme is foolproof (he thinks): he'll wrest "control of wrestling in all London" away from gangster Christo (Herbert Lom), by taking on as partner Christo's father Gregorius (Stanislaus Zbyszko, former U.S. champ), an aging, "legitimate" Greco-Roman style wrestler. But in execution, this plan makes Harry new enemies, all of whom are harder, more realistic, and more dangerous than himself. Caught like a rat in a trap? Harry's plight is more that of a worm in a malevolent chicken coop.
Almost all the performances are just a bit over the top, not least Widmark's as Fabian, from cringing to cocky bravado to hysterical enthusiasm (with just a touch of his Tommy Udo laugh from 'Kiss of Death (1947)'). Francis L. Sullivan, as nightclub owner Nosseross, turns in a menacing portrait worthy of Sydney Greenstreet. Googie Withers is spellbinding as Helen, a hard-as-nails former b-girl who married the boss but isn't above using Fabian (or anyone else) to further her ends; perhaps the most compelling performance of her career. An array of fine character actors vividly represent the small-time grifters who constitute most of Harry's social circle. These larger-than-life performances fit the story perfectly. Gene Tierney, de-glamorized but still lovely as the nominal leading lady, does a fine job as Mary, but her more naturalistic acting seems pallid by comparison. Fortunately, the American actors don't attempt phony British accents.
Screenwriter Eisinger changed the original novel extensively (at least partly because of censorship), while remaining true to its spirit. Many plot events, the ending, and especially the character relationships are different. In the book, Fabian is a pimp, living with Zoe, a bosomy prostitute; Mary is Mrs. Nosseross, while Helen is a nightclub hostess involved in a second main plot with Adam the sculptor. The 'Strangler' is black, and there is no character Kristo. The novel is well worth reading, but I'm inclined to think the screenplay in some ways an improvement.
This is cinematographer Greene's only film-noir credit, but his skill at low-key lighting is also evident in thrillers like 'So Evil My Love (1948).' In 'Night and the City' Greene has helped director Dassin to create a brilliant visual style, very different from previous Dassin films such as 'The Naked City (1948).' The world of Harry Fabian is a maze of wet cobblestoned alleys, narrow staircases, bombed-out walls, and subterranean dives, crossed by the blackest, most menacing shadows London has ever seen. Actors are often photographed from low angles and even lit from beneath for maximum menace. Location scenes meld so seamlessly with studio shots that infinite pains must have been taken with location lighting. From tight close-ups to long shots, the entire film is a sequence of little masterpieces of visual composition. Editing is similarly superb, with not a moment wasted. Franz Waxman's music score swings from unobtrusive to the same hyper-dramatic heights as the acting and lighting. This is (fortunately) not real life. This is film noir, a world unto itself.
Not everyone enjoys film noir, as 20th Century Fox discovered when this one lost money on first release. Perhaps you do have to be slightly twisted to feel ecstatic over a film as dark as this...who, me?

Question 1: A Series of Unfortunate Numbers ...
Robert Langdon has again lost his memories.  The key to his freedom, lies in three of numerous numbered rocks, which need pushed in the correct order. Unfortunately, he's forgotten the numbers. Fortunately, he has the following series written on the floor:
2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 16, 19, 21, 22, 27, 31, 34, 36, 37, 43, 48, 52, 55, 57, 58, 65, 71, 76, 80, 83, 85, 86, 94, 101, 107, 112, 116, 119, 121, 122, 131, 139, 146, 152, 157, 161, 164, 166, 167, 177, 186, 194
Unfortunately again, he's wrongly dialed your number. Help him out of the situation, by deciphering the given Integer series and find the next Three Terms of the series.
Question 2: Find the Function
Your University required a Simple Integer Hashing Program to create Hashes of the Students' Roll Numbers, to be used as WiFi Passwords. Before anyone could, Proprietary Inc. had provided them with it's own program. Luck has touched you today, as you found the Old Student Data file sent to your mail, by mistake.
It is a widely known fact that Proprietary Inc. uses three functions to HASH Data:
However, it is unknown to you in which order these functions are called upon the given data, which is in the format [ ROLL NO.    HASH ], ( ROLL NO. TAB HASH ).
Find the Order in which these functions were called.
Example: If the functions are f(x), g(x) & h(x), report if it is f(g(h(x))) or g(f(h(x))) or so on ...
Question 3: Target Therapy
The veins & arteries of the body form a giant network, which can be used as a roadway to deliver drugs to treat diseases in specific regions of the body. The intersections of the veins, including organs can be thought of as nodes in a graph, the non-linear data-structure. The best path for the drug delivery, is obviously the shortest one between the injection point & the target point, be it a tear or a tumor.
You're given a set of 10 nodes, of which the first node is the injection point, the second, the target point & a set of connected nodes, with their inter-nodal distances, a.k.a path lengths, specified.
Find the shortest path between the Injection Point & the Target Point, in least time.
Example Input & Output:
Input:-A F A B 2 A C 1 A H 4 B H 1 C D 1 D F 3 D G 5 D H 3 E F 8 F H 1 F I 3 F J 2 G J 1 I J 3Output:-ABHF
In case of more than one shortest path, give any or both at your own discretion.

Description of the stock table:
Start your day at 9:30, not 9:00, this is because we're unable to get realtime data for free, and besides the first half an hour is unstable.
An unpredictable market crash tends to affect different stocks on the same day. Reduce your losses.
Your stoploss limits are 20% loss or no profit for 40 working days whichever comes first.
This will reduce your profits per day, but also reduces your risks dramatically. Since we have a harsh stoploss, this is the only way to manage the risk.
Never put an order higher than the recommeded price.
Even if you buy for less than the recommended price, you should ALWAYS put sell order for 2% over the price you bought for.
Avoid Oil companies and Chinese companies, those are run by crazy people.
If you buy a stock and it continues to go down, don't buy more when it is very low, it will only delay your stoploss.
Before placing an order, check if there is any news fuss about that stock (Reports, Press Relase, etc), defining which news that matter is up to you. Personally I don't think analysis blogs and market summaries are show stoppers
Courtage cost and profit regular tax will eat up to 50% of profits when calculationg a 100K investment (done the math). Choose Degiro with ISK account.
The number of signals per stock is more important, then the number of successful signals of course.
You can get your account's transactions from Degiro as csv file and see it here as a graph.
To do that, log in to Degiro.se and follow those steps:
doneClick the "Konto" tab.
doneChange the start date to as early as before you opened the Degiro account.
doneClick export "XLS".

An easy chicken stew is just the thing to have up your sleeve for surprise guests. Wild mushrooms and truffles make it special.
For the chicken, heat a large casserole or heavy-based pan until hot, then add two tablespoons of oil. Fry the lardons until crisp, then add the halved shallots and garlic and cook until lightly coloured.
Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the remaining oil to a large hot frying pan, then fry the chicken pieces until deep-golden brown on both sides.Transfer the chicken to the casserole. remove any excess oil from the pan.
In the same frying pan, fry the mushrooms in the butter for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the Madeira, chicken stock, cream and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the chicken, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
For the mash, place the potatoes into a pan of salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the potatoes, then return to the pan and gently heat to get rid of any excess moisture. Remove from the heat and mash with the butter and cream until smooth and creamy. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
To serve, pile the chicken in a serving bowl, cover in sauce and shave over the truffle, if using. Spoon the mash alongside.
