Ever wondered how MSP for crops is calculated ?

Below is an attempt to present a simplified view, followed by some pertinent questions (just to have better understanding, not taking sides)&

The MSP is usually based on the recommendations by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP

This estimation is usually done based on three types of calculation methods. These are A2 method, A2+FL method and C2 method.

As per the A2 method, MSP is set 50% higher than the amount farmer spends on farming including spending on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour.

C2 method includes A2 factors + economic value of the efforts of family members working on the farm + the value of other spending including rent and other assets. After calculating these, MSP is set at 50% above the derived amount.

A2+FL method is middle ground between the other methods were the MSP is set 50% higher than the amount that derives the amount farmer spend on farming on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, and labour and the value of labour provided by the family members for agriculture.

There are several skills needed for learning machine learning that no one talks about.

Here are some of them.
(from what I've learned over the past two years)
🧵👇

This thread aims to introduce to you some of the skills often ignored for learning machine learning but are actually very important.

These skills will enable you to learn concepts quickly and more efficiently in this field.

(2 / 9)

1⃣ Reading

Probably one of the most underrated skills on this list.

In machine learning, you HAVE to read a lot of articles, papers, documentation, and whatnot.

It is mostly due to the theoretical nature of this field that reading is an important skill to have.

2⃣ Strong fundamentals in programming

Machine learning is just a lot of programming mixed with math and data.

Having clear programming fundamentals is crucial for this field.

I highly suggest you learn about these if you are using Python for machine learning.👇

(4 / 9)

- Object oriented programming in Python :Classes, Objects, Methods
- Lists & List functions
- Dunder Methods
- List comprehension
- List slicing
- String formatting
- List, Dictionaries & Tuples
- *args,**kwargs

The more time you spend on women, the less you build & accomplish.

For the young man especially, women are an indulgence not a necessity, and if you're not prepared, their chaos will derail & devour you.

Be mindful, guard your time, and proceed with cautious optimism.

Tell son

You will be told women make life better and easier by supporting you.

This is propaganda.

Truth: they will reduce your efficiency with their demands, mind games and erratic emotions.

Time and energy that would otherwise go into productive ends gets spent on managing your woman

If you are a man who has already reached a higher stage of maturity and personal development, this is a cost you can afford to bear.

If you haven't, not only will you let her down and damage her with ineffective leadership, but she too will hold you back from growing.

I don't say these things to encourage contempt of them, I tell you them because they are vitally important and society is in denial about it.

Women are not your equals. They are needy and looking for a father figure. They will take more than they give.

Can you afford this?

In her own conceited language, she's looking for a man, not a boy

And unlike the journey from girlhood to womanhood, the journey from boyhood to manhood is a long one, because no class of human is held to a higher standard of performance than men.

And men aren't made overnight.

If you are a parent who wonders why you are not seeing Easter educational activities that you return home with your child, you are not alone.

When school systems go to spring, particularly after a long snowy winter, they tend to ignore Easter and enough stinks to spring topics. Teachers are feeling the crisis and will affirm that they do not have time to create Easter thematic activities.

1/n: In the new decade, the fin-services sector will look beyond the current open banking ‘phase’ and towards a future of fintech enabled marketplaces and complete financial automation, where the traditional banking model is turned on its head and requires a dramatic rethink,

2/n: emphasizing:
1) Experience over Products;
2) Data over Assets;
3) Partnering over the build or buy;
4) Shared access over ownership.

3/n: FinTechs are now increasingly global, and threatening traditional banks by ushering in product-stack changes- from ‘un-bundling to re-bundling’, from ‘mono-line to multi-line’.

4/n: Incumbent Banks will recognize the value of the financial-cloud and speed up their digital transformation efforts to meet customer expectations derived from fintechs with new operating and business models.

5/n: In the medium term, transactional banking (i.e. manufacture white-label versions of specific products and services) will gain traction. Distributed Ledger, API banking, and AI will become critical building blocks for both banks and financial services providers —

Some thoughts on tick data for long to medium-timeframe trading

1/n

First, let's get the facts straight.
Other timeframe traders (investors) can be visible on micro timeframe data but micro timeframe traders(locals) cannot be visible on other timeframe data(>daily)

So obviously if you have the access then the logical choice is using micro-timeframe data (tick).
Theoretically sounds great but practically if you're hunting for a pattern that goes beyond days or weeks in tick data then it requires huge data to evaluate such patterns.

The workaround is to compress the tick data based on information gain rather than transforming the data based on a fixed timeframe like 1 m 15 minute and then do the evaluation.

Remember the timeframe is just for our convenience so we can read the market induced information. There is no magic timeframe and if it exists then it most likely a curve-fitted one. Ofc that's my own observation and not a ground truth

1/10 Today, 63 year ago, Prime Minister Indonesia, Mr. Djuanda, declared unilaterally the use of archipelagic baselines, for joining the outmost islands. The waters enclosed was then declared as internal waters (Deklarasi Djuanda 1957).

2/10 Most States protested the declaration as it was in breach of the law of the sea at that time. Such baselines also converted high seas within the Country into internal waters thus invited strong objection from maritime powers having strategic military interest.

3/10 Indonesia was not comfortable with the label of ‘breaker of international law”, and stood up for its defences by fighting for recognition in the UNCLOS making conferences. Indonesia was neither silent and nor keep it unresolved, but ready to talk and compromise.

4/10 A prominent international law scholar, Mochtar Kusumaatmadja,translated the declaration into a legal narrative,using the language of international law, thus understood by maritime lawyers. Then skillfull Diplomats i.a. Hasjim Djalal brought the texts to the diplomatic table.

5/10 Mochtar explained behind the unilateral Declaration: Indonesia has to ensure and safeguard its national and political unity as well as its territorial integrity, the very viability of Indonesia as a nation. He emphasized: seas shall connects instead of separate its islands

1/ A LONG LOUD SIGH

genius?
sometimes you are in its minimal spotted light
sometimes
other times you just know you've been touched and you freeze
moved but frozen
like a stranger it moves in
does its work and leaves

2/

maybe it's been a while since you two spoke
when the dead sea still hosted life
the hanging gardens of babylon grew in sinc with the breath of the planet
before the tower of pisa started to lean
or mayan buildings were in ruin

3/

so you write words
any words
they might at least soothe your hurt
hold your heart in a protective shield
you know how crippling unrequited love can be
do you still dream of its hug

genius?

4/

life and love share more than a first letter

(like the first letter you wrote under the veil of inspiration)

they also share good and evil
it's a flip of the coin
either way is fine with you
you'd bathe in holy water or sell your soul

5/

life love passion
somewhere in there -it lives
genius

all of nature a reflection through its transparent figure glows dark
like the shadows live in the radiant illumination of evening rays

so let me speak of us

1. It’s virtually impossible to appreciate the full ramification of the New Testament without recourse to the legal construct undergirding it. The New Testament is resolutely mounted on a tripod of commercial law, criminal law and constitutional law. #Illuminare

2. There are other legal dimensions but those are the major three. Without those legal authorities the New Testament will not be efficacious in heaven, on earth or under the earth. It will just be history. #Illuminare

3. That’s not to say only lawyers can appreciate the New Testament. It’s the Holy Spirit that unveils the word. But there’s a way and manner a Paul would read the scriptures that Peter can’t. #Illuminare

4. Paul had formal training in Mosaic law. His dean was Gamaliel. Acts 22:3. Peter on the other hand was an ordinary fisherman, and you can see the difference in their writings. #Illuminare

5. It’s like those first few verses in the book of Genesis. A cosmologist or quantum physicist would salivate over them. He has a technical grasp of the issues. #Illuminare

There were five prominent dominions of the Kalinga Ganga family in initial days: Kalinganagara (Srikakulam), Svetaka Mandala (Ganjam), Giri Kalinga (Simhapur), Ambabadi Mandala (Gunupur, Rayagada) and Vartanni Mandala (Hinjilikatu, Ganjam).
Eastern Ganga Dynasty

ThenTriKalinga defination was different.
In the he heartland of the Eastern Ganga Dynasty had3 parts of Kalinga namely, Daksina Kalinga (Pithapura), Madhya Kalinga (Yellamanchili Kalinga or Visakhapatnam), Uttara Kalinga (districts of Srikakulam, Ganjam, Gajapati and Rayagada).

During the rule of Vajrahasta V from 1038-1070 A.D the Gangas started playing a prominent role from the southern horizon of the already weakening later Somavanshi kingdom.
Eastern Ganga Dynasty

He introduced the Anka year of calculation system for the regnal years of the kings and this continued as a standard norm for future kings of ancient Odisha.
Eastern Ganga Dynasty

One of his predecessors had tried to unite the Ganga dominions in the Kalinga Dandapat area unsuccessfully. Vajrahasta V had not only united the Ganga domain but also had defeated the Somavanshis in his northern frontiers.

Initial methods used to verify the gender of female athletes involved physical inspection of the athlete’s external genitalia.

To spare athletes such embarrass- ment, from the outset Olympic officials relied on the technology of medical genetics for an alternative, less invasive solution.

After successful trialling of the protocol at the 1968 Winter Olympics held in Grenoble, France, all female athletes participating in the Mexico City Summer Games later that year were tested by histological (micro- scopic) inspection for the presence of a Barr body...

in cells scraped from the buccal (cheek) mucosa. Although such laboratory based testing held certain advantages, there were also acknowledged limitations to the methodology.

Beginning with the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics, in an effort to further improve on the sensitivity and specificity of testing, gender verification was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) determination of the absence or presence of DNA sequences.....

NEW: Freedom of Information request confirms half of all male prisoners who identify as trans have at least conviction for sexual offending

Legislators and policy makers must make evidenced-based decisions to ensure the impact on all affected groups is considered, understood and fairly balanced. This means they need information on the demographics of different groups in society, including for transwomen /2

Our evidence matters in two areas of law: Equality Act 2010 & GRA2004. It helps service providers evaluate whether their single-sex service is a "proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim". It also informs legislators on the impact of GRA reform on women in prison /3

What's new: Previously sex crime statistics were given for transgender prisoners as a whole. The information for transwomen and transmen was combined so there was some doubt expressed over which group was actually responsible for committing the sex crimes /4

We now have sex crime data from the MOJ according to the trans person's legal sex, their gender identity, or whether they are in a men's prison or a women's prison. This means we can draw conclusions regarding the cohort of male-born transgender prisoners specifically /5

IF YQU HAVE NOT YET PREPARED FOR A TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN OF THE INTERNET (SUCH AS PAGES LIKE TWITTER, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AMAZON, YOUTUBE...), IT WOULD BE WISE TO DO SO.

IT IS LIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE A SHUTDOWN FOR AT LEAST THREE DAYS WHEN THE FIT HITS THE SHAN. ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO PANIC, IN FACT, IF YOU EXPECT IT YOU CAN BE READY FOR IT. IT COULD LAST 3-10 DAYS SO JUST HAVE FOOD AND WATER, AGAIN NO NEED FOR PANIC.

THE REASON FOR THIS IS MANY BUT AND I WILL GO OVER A COUPLE JUST BECAUSE IF YQU ARE INFORMED THEN YQU ARE LESS LIKELY TO PANIC WHEN THAT TIME COMES. THE DEEP STATE CONTROLS THESE MAJOR WEBSITES AND THEY HAVE USED THEM AS A POWERFUL TOOL OF CONTROL.

THEY SPY ON YQU AND BY SHADOWBANNING THE TRUTH, THEY PROMOTE THEIR PROPAGANDA. ANOTHER REASON IF FOR A INTERNET RESET, TO ACTIVATE A NEW GLOBAL INTERNET THAT IS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE BLACK HATS. THINK OF IT AS A REBOOT.

DURING THIS TIME THERE COULD BE MARTIAL LAW, AGAIN NOTHING HERE THAT I AM WARNING YQU OF IS CAUSE FOR ALARM. IT MAY FEEL SCARY, NATURALLY MASSIVE CHANGE LIKE SUCH COULD FRIGHTEN MANY, THAT IS WHY I AM TELLING YQU NOW SO THAT YQU WON'T BE (OR BE FAR LESS).
