Corporate Responsibility Group

The Corporate Responsibility Group (CRG) was a training and development network for corporate responsibility (CR) and sustainability practitioners in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1987, it was succeeded in January 2015 by spin-off Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (ICRS).

History and governance
The group was founded in 1987, as a not-for-profit organisation run by a volunteer board of corporate responsibility practitioners.

The Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability was created by CRG in 2014 to respond to the need for an organisation that supports the personal and professional development of individuals in CR, sustainability or related functions.

Representing the profession
CRG undertakes research every few years on the state of its profession. Its 2009 study found that 84% of corporate responsibility professionals considered the discipline to be a mainstream business issue, compared to 72% in 2006 survey.

In 2011 the group announced that it would create a professional body for individual corporate responsibility practitioners in the UK, distinct from the group's current organisation-membership model.

Research
The group has collaborated with academia and government to produce research into the state of corporate responsibility. From 2002 to 2003 it supported the work of a UK government working group, commissioned by Stephen Timms MP, the then Minister of State for e-Commerce & Competitiveness at the Department of Trade and Industry (now BIS), looking at professional skills development in the corporate responsibility sector. Its report, "Changing Manager Mindsets", was published in 2003 in conjunction with Ashridge Business School. In 2005 it produced a study with Ashridge Business School on the state of executive development amongst corporate responsibility professionals. In 2007, a report published by the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and Cranfield School of Management reported that the "professionalisation of the corporate responsibility and sustainability function in many companies... has also been supported by organisations such as CRG".

Partnerships
The group has an established link with Business in the Community (BITC). By convention, the Chair of CRG sits on the Board of Directors of BITC. BITC's "Key Knowledge for CR Practitioners" primer cites CRG's Code of Conduct for CR practitioners under "Key Principles & Frameworks".

The Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility, at the Cranfield School of Management cites the group as a partner.

Membership
Membership is vetted, and comprises over 300 corporate responsibility professionals, representing approximately 85 organisations. Membership covers those within member organisations in the private, public, and third sector, though consultants are not admitted. Among the members - many of which employ members of CRG's volunteer board - are Accenture, British American Tobacco, City of London Corporation, The Crown Estate, Herbert Smith Freehills, IBM, Linklaters, Olswang, QinetiQ, RWE npower, Tata Consultancy Services, Thomson Reuters, Wragge & Co and Zoological Society of London.

Events
The group runs frequent members-only events, including clinics; masterclasses and networking. In 2012 it hosted interactive sessions for members with  academics in the subject.

Talk:Dmitry Salita

Propaganda
This is a propaganda site. You read a lot about Jewish religion and nothing about boxing. There is a reason for it. The kid has near-zero talent. So let's talk about something else. German.Knowitall 20:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * If you will read articles about him and will note his nickname "Star of David" - you will see that Jewish religion has large influence over him. So it's natural that it will be reflected in article about him. If you wish to add something to article - go and do it. But consider deleting as last resort. --TAG 00:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I feel like throwing up when I read propaganda articles like this. I do NOT, if anyone should get this idea, have a problem with
 * a: his being religious
 * b: his marketing himself heavily this way
 * c: that this is mentioned in Wikipedia. No problem!

What I cannot stand, however, is when people both in the media and here talk about religion INSTEAD of achievents in the ring. The last thing of note there was when he won the New York Golden Gloves (not the national Golden Gloves). In the professional rings he has done absolutely nothing.German.Knowitall 15:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Achievements of Salita
Salita has been a pro for almost six years. He has done (in the ring!) next to nothing. THIS #48 is his highest rating in any independent ranking. After six years and 27 wins. This is nothing short of ridiculous. Now, I'm willing to acknowledge he is doing a tremendous job at marketing himself and getting praise from ESPN!! Wow. But he has zero success in the ring. He probably has THE worst chin in boxing pound for pound (knockdowns listed by boxrec).THIS is an article about the Montano fight German.Knowitall 19:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Please provide source for your edit on . Your statements about "can't punch " and "no chin" are original research. As well - please clarify why you have removed others parts of article. Even more - are you going to add to every Don King reference that he has killed two men and served 4 years in prison ? --TAG 00:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

1.Chin: see record. 2.Can't punch : average KO-ratio versus EXTREMELY weak competition. Thus his low standing in the ratings #53 in the IWBR ratings. He isn't Top 40 in ANY independent ratings and I challenge anyone to give me one example.

BTW if you think I'm antisemitic, that's not true, I respect Barney Ross and Benny Leonard, they were real fighters. Salita is a typical fraud.German.Knowitall 15:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not allowed to make own conclusions out of facts. Please read Attribution. You expect every person will be WBC/WBO world champion. This is impossible - there are is no room for 100's of boxers. Your respect has nothing to do with Wikipedia - either state facts - or don't edit. Your personal opinion while valuable and I respect you for it - is not important here at all. Please provide sources per WP:V who share your opinion on "can't punch" and "no chin" - or I will revert your edit in 2 days. Thanks in advance. --TAG 17:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

You're not paying attention. It's not about my theories about his chin but about being knocked down by guys with ZERO or ONE Kos. He doesn't have to be champion. But if he wants ink, he has to fight half-decent opponents, not Peter McNeely opposition.German.Knowitall 18:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

A problem
Well, I reverted this edit and started looking at the source in question. A fair amount of the stuff that I reverted uses source number 4, but it's just copied verbatim. That's a potential copyright violation. If it is to be included, it should be reworded, and sourced using the proper reference tags. --Deskana (talk)  21:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * All of the RV'd material is in one (or usually more than one) of the sources reflected in the links. I've brought some of those references up into the text in the form of footnotes, given that much of it was quoted material. --Epeefleche 21:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

To German.Knowitall:

What is exactly your point? It sounds like you are jealos of Jews who are proud of one of their own making good. So what if he is overrated? He would not be the first one. People are proud of him, he has won some fights, and they are proud that he shares some of their religious beliefs. Where is the harm? Don't hate, participate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WestCoastBlues (talk • contribs) 04:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

DJ-Kicks: Peggy Gou

DJ-Kicks: Peggy Gou is a DJ mix album, mixed by South Korean DJ and producer Peggy Gou. It was released on 28 June 2019 through !K7 Records as part of their DJ-Kicks series.

The album became her first Billboard chart appearance, reaching the 9th position on Dance/Electronic Album Sales, and the second compilation that ever got into the top 10 after Moodymann's.

Critical reception
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, DJ-Kicks: Peggy Gou received an average score of 78, based on 5 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Steph Lee of Resident Advisor gave the album a mixed review, writing, "Gou's DJ-Kicks, though filled with some stretches of sleek club music, struggles to find an overall thread to hold it together. The personal angle is not enough. Each of these tunes may hold a special significance in Gou's life. But to the listener, they don't quite reveal the story."

Synbiotics

Synbiotics refer to food ingredients or dietary supplements combining probiotics and prebiotics in a form of synergism, hence synbiotics. The synbiotic concept was first introduced as "mixtures of probiotics and prebiotics that beneficially affect the host by improving the survival and implantation of live microbial dietary supplements in the gastrointestinal tract, by selectively stimulating the growth and/or by activating the metabolism of one or a limited number of health-promoting bacteria, thus improving host welfare". As of 2018, the research on this concept is preliminary, with no high-quality evidence from clinical research that such benefits exist.

Synbiotics may be complementary synbiotics, where each component is independently chosen for its potential effect on host health, or synergistic synbiotics, where the prebiotic component is chosen to support the activity of the chosen probiotic. Research is evaluating if synbiotics can be optimized, (known as 'optibiotics') which are purported to enhance the growth and health benefits of existing probiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria which are intended to colonize the large intestine, although as of 2018, there is no evidence that adding dietary bacteria to healthy people has any added effect. A prebiotic is a food or dietary supplement product that may induce the growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms. A prebiotic may be a fiber, but a fiber is not necessarily a prebiotic.

Using prebiotics and probiotics in combination may be described as synbiotic, but the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization recommends that the term "synbiotic" be used only if the net health benefit is synergistic. Synbiotic formulations in combination with pasteurized breast milk are under preliminary clinical research for their potential to ameliorate necrotizing enterocolitis in infants, although there was insufficient evidence to warrant recommending synbiotics for this use as of 2016.

Examples

 * Bifidobacteria and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
 * Bifidobacteria or lactobacilli with FOS or inulins or galactooligosaccharides (GOS)
 * Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and inulins
 * Polyphenol

Teller assist unit

Teller Assist Units (TAU), also known as Automatic Teller Safes (ATS) or Teller Cash Dispensers (TCD), are devices used in retail banking for the disbursement of money at a bank teller wicket or a centralized area. Other areas of application of TAU include the automation of starting and reconciling teller or cashier drawers (tills) in retail, check cashing, payday loan / advance, grocery, and casino operations.

Cash supplies are held in a vault or safe. Disbursements and acceptance of money take place by means of inputting information through a separate computer to the cash dispensing mechanism inside the vault, which is similar in construction to an automatic teller machine vault.

A TAU provides a secure and auditable way of handling large amounts of cash by tellers without undue risk from robbery. Some TAUs can be networked and monitored remotely, from a central location - thereby reducing oversight and management resources.

Special security considerations
TAUs may delay dispensing of large amounts of money up to minutes to discourage bank robberies. It is however very likely that someone present on the premises has the means to open the cash vault of the device. TAUs may be accessed by keys, combination, or a mix of the two.

Construction
A TAU consists of:
 * A vault
 * Cash handling mechanism
 * Alarm sensors

In the TAU's cash handling mechanisms are several money cartridges. These can be equipped with different cash notes or coinage. The input into the controlling computer makes possible for this unit to disburse the correct amounts. Notes are tested to ensure that they are removed correctly from the cartridges and that no surplus notes are removed. False disbursements are possible, although very rare. Modern TAUs can be used also for depositing and recycling of banknotes. They use bill validation technology to help ensure the authenticity and fitness of the received cash before it is accepted and recycled to be presented to the customer.

Differences from ATMs
TAUs are distinct from ATMs in that they are designed to be operated solely by trained branch personnel, they do not integrate directly into interbank networks, and are usually controlled by a computer that is not directly integrated into the overall construction of the unit.

TAU Software
TAUs can be provided with CEN/XFS drivers.

Major TAU manufacturers worldwide

 * ARCA
 * Diebold
 * NCR
 * Wincor Nixdorf
 * Glory Global Solutions
 * Nautilus Hyosung (Now ‘Hyosung TNS’)

High School Mathematics Extensions/Discrete Probability

Introduction
Probability theory is one of the most widely applicable mathematical theories. It deals with uncertainty and teaches you how to manage it.

Please do not misunderstand: We are not learning to predict things; rather, we learn to utilise predicted chances and make them useful. Therefore, we don't care about questions like what is the probability it will rain tomorrow?, but given that the probability is 60% we can make deductions, the easiest of which is the probability it will not rain tomorrow is 40%.

As suggested above, a probability is a percentage, and it's between 0% and 100% (inclusive). Mathematicians like to express a probability as a proportion, i.e. as a number between 0 and 1. So the probability that it will not rain tomorrow is 0.4.

Application
You might ask why we are even studying probability. Let's see a very quick example of probability in action.

Consider the following gambling game: Toss a coin; if it's heads, I give you $1; if it's tails, you give me $2. You will easily notice that it is not a fair game - the chances are the same (50%-50%) but the rewards are different. Even though we are playing with probability, there are useful, and sometimes not so obvious, conclusions we can make: one of them is that in the long run I will become richer and you will become poorer.

Another real-life example: I observed one day that there are dark clouds outside. So I asked myself, should I bring an umbrella? I use my observation of dark clouds as per my usual daily deciding routine. Since in past experiences, dark clouds are early warning signs of rain, I am more likely to bring an umbrella.

In real life, probability theory is heavily used in risk analysis by economists, businesses, insurance companies, governments, etc. An even wider usage is its application as the basis of statistics, which is the main basis of all scientific research. Two branches of physics have their bases tied in probability. One is clearly identified by its name: statistical mechanics. The other is quantum physics.

Why discrete probability?
 There are two kinds of probability: discrete and continuous. The continuous case is considered to be more difficult to understand, and much less intuitive, than discrete probability, and it requires knowledge of calculus. But we will touch on a little bit of the continuous case later on in the chapter.

Event and Probability
Roughly, an event is something we can assign a probability to. For example the probability it will rain tomorrow is 0.6; here, the event is it will rain tomorrow, and the assigned probability is 0.6. We can write
 * P(it will rain tomorrow) = 0.6

Mathematicians typically use abstract letters to represent events. In this case we choose A to represent the event it will rain tomorrow, so the above expression can be written as:
 * P(A) = 0.6

Another example is a (six-sided) fair dice will turn up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 with equal probability each time it is tossed. Let B be the event that it turns up 1 in the next toss. We write:
 * P(B) = 1/6

Misconception  Please note that the probability 1/6 does not mean that it will turn up 1 in at most six tries. Its precise meaning will be discussed later on in the chapter. Roughly, it means that on the long run (i.e. the dice being tossed a large number of times), the proportion of 1s will be very close to 1/6.

Impossible and certain events
Two types of events are special. One type are the impossible events (e.g., a roll of a dice will turn up 7); the other type are certain to happen (e.g., a roll of a dice will turn up as one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6). The probability of an impossible event is 0, while that of a certain event is 1. We write
 * P(Impossible event) = 0
 * P(Certain event) = 1

The above reinforces a very important principle concerning probability. Namely, the range of probability is between 0 and 1. You can never have a probability of 2.5! So remember the following
 * $$0 \leq P(E) \leq 1$$

for all events $$E$$.

Complement of an event
A most useful concept is the complement of an event. Here we use $$\overline{E}$$ to represent the event that the dice will NOT turn up 1 in the next toss. Generally, putting a bar over a variable (that represents an event) means the opposite of that event. In the above case of a dice:
 * $$P(\overline{E}) = 5/6$$

it means The probability that the dice will turn up 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in the next toss (notwithstanding the aforementioned misconception that a probability of X/Y does not mean that it will turn up X in at most Y tries) is 5/6. Please note that
 * $$P(\overline{E}) = 1 - P(E)$$

for any event E.

There are some other notations for (ways to write) complement rather than putting a bar (line) on top: prime (A') and star (A*). Both A' and A* mean: $$\overline{A}$$

Combining independent probabilities
Independent probabilities can be combined to yield probabilities for more complex events. I stress the word independent here, because the following demonstrations will not work without that requirement. The exact meaning of the word will be discussed a little later on in the chapter, and we will show why independence is important in Exercise 10 of this section.

Adding probabilities
Probabilities are added together whenever a single event can occur in multiple "ways". As this is a rather loose concept, the following example may be helpful. Consider rolling a single dice; if we want to calculate the probability for, say, rolling an odd number, we must add up the probabilities for all the "ways" in which this can happen -- rolling a 1, 3, or 5. Consequently, we come to the following calculation:
 * P(rolling an odd number) = P(rolling a 1) + P(rolling a 3) + P(rolling a 5) = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 = 0.5

Note that the addition of probabilities is often associated with the use of the word "or" -- whenever we say that some event E consist of the events X, Y, or Z (being satisfied if any of the events occur) we use addition to combine their probabilities (if they are disjoint, see below).

A rule of thumb is that the probability of an event and the probability of its complement must add up to 1. This makes sense, since we intuitively believe that events, when well-defined, must either happen or not happen.

Multiplying probabilities
Probabilities are multiplied together whenever an event occurs in multiple "stages" or "steps." For example, consider rolling a single dice twice; the probability of rolling a 6 in two consecutive rolls (two times back to back) is calculated by multiplying the probabilities for the individual steps involved since the two events are independent. Intuitively, the first step is the first roll, and the second step is the second roll. Therefore, the final probability for rolling a 6 twice is as follows:
 * P(rolling a 6 twice) = P(rolling a 6 the first time)$$\times$$P(rolling a 6 the second time) = $$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6}$$ = 1/36 $$\approx$$ 0.028 (or 2.8%)

Similarly, note that the multiplication of probabilities is often associated with the use of the word "and" -- whenever we say that some event E is equivalent to all of the events X, Y, and Z occurring, we use multiplication to combine their probabilities (if they are independent).

Also, it is important to recognize that the product of multiple probabilities must be less than or equal to each of the individual probabilities, since probabilities are restricted to the range 0 through 1. This agrees with our intuitive notion that relatively complex events are usually less likely to occur.

Combining addition and multiplication
It is often necessary to use both of these operations simultaneously. Once again, consider a dice being rolled twice in succession. In contrast with the previous case, we will now consider the event of rolling two numbers that add up to 3. In this case, there are clearly two steps involved, and therefore multiplication will be used, but there are also multiple ways in which the event under consideration can occur, meaning addition must be involved as well. The dice could turn up 1 on the first roll and 2 on the second roll, or 2 on the first and 1 on the second. This leads to the following calculation:
 * P(rolling a sum of 3) = P(1 on 1st roll)$$\times$$P(2 on 2nd roll) + P(2 on 1st roll)$$\times$$P(1 on 2nd roll) = $$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6}$$ + $$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6}$$ = 1/18 $$\approx$$ 0.056 (or 5.6%)

This is only a simple example, and the addition and multiplication of probabilities can be used to calculate much more complex probabilities.

Exercises
Let A represent the number that turns up in a (fair) dice roll, let C represent the number that turns up in a separate (fair) dice roll, and let B represent a card randomly picked out of a deck:

1. A dice is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a 3 i.e. calculate P(A = 3)?

2. A dice is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a 2, 3, or 5, i.e. calculate P(A = 2, 3 or 5)?

3. What is the probability of choosing a card of the suit Diamonds (in a 52-card deck)? . There are 4 suits, diamonds, spades, clubs, and hearts

4. A dice is rolled and a card is randomly picked from a deck of cards. What is the probability of rolling a 4 and picking the Ace of Spades, i.e. calculate P(A = 4)×P(B = Ace of spades).

5. Two dice are rolled together. What is the probability of getting a 1 and a 3?

6. Two dice are rolled separately. What is the probability of getting a 1 and a 3, regardless of order?

7. Calculate the probability of rolling two dice that add up to 7.

8. (Optional) Let C be the number rolled on the first dice and A be the number rolled on the second dice. Show that the probability of C being equal to A is 1/6.

9. Let C and A be as in exercise 8. What is the probability that C is greater than A?

10. Gareth was told that in his class 50% of the pupils play football, 30% play video games and 30% study mathematics. So if he was to choose a student from the class randomly, he calculated the probability that the student plays football, plays video games, and studies mathematics is 50% + 30% + 30% = 1/2 + 3/10 + 3/10 = 11/10. But all probabilities should be between 0 and 1. What mistake did Gareth make?

 Solutions

1. P(A = 3) = 1/6

2. P(A = 2) + P(A = 3) + P(A = 5) = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/2

3. P(B = Ace of Diamonds) + ... + P(B = King of Diamonds) = 13 × 1/52 = 1/4

4. P(A = 4) × P(B = Ace of Spades) = 1/6 × 1/52 = 1/312

5. P(A = 1) × P(C = 3) + P(A = 3) × P(C = 1) = 1/36 + 1/36 = 1/18

6. P(A = 1) × P(C = 3) + P(A = 3) × P(C = 1) = 1/36 + 1/36 = 1/18 This is the same answer as the problem above because in both cases the outcome for each individual dice remains independent of the other regardless of whether or not they are thrown simultaneously. Another way of calculating the same answer is to consider that the first dice can be a one or a three but the second can only be one number - the opposite of the first dice, i.e. a 3 if the first dice was 1, or a 1 if the first dice was 3. That gives: P(A=1 or A=3) x P(opposite) = 2/6 x 1/6 = 2/36 = 1/18.

7. Here are the possible combinations: 1 + 6 = 2 + 5 = 3 + 4 = 7. Probability of getting each of the combinations are 1/18 as in exercise 6. There are 3 such combinations, so the probability is 3 × 1/18 = 1/6.

8. As C is the first dice rolled and can be any value, P(C) = 1. Given some value of the first role, P(A) = 1/6. The probability C and A have the same value is 1 * 1/6 = 1/6.

9. The probability of (C equal to A) is 1/6. Thus the probability of (C not equal to A) is 5/6. Half of such cases will be (C greater than A). Thus the probability of (C greater than A) is 5/12. 10. These three sets overlap so, for example, to get the probability of someone belonging to all three sets, you need to multiply (assuming they are independent), not add. P(F and V and M) = .5 x .3 x .3 = 0.045. It is necessary to remember that the events of playing football, playing video games, studying mathematics, or being human, a male, living in Armenia, etc are all possible. Although the likelihood and independence of these events/states may be debatable, the fact that the probability of any strange combination must be less than one must hold.

Random Variables
A random experiment, such as throwing a dice or tossing a coin, is a process that produces some uncertain outcome. We also require that a random experiment can be repeated easily. In this section we shall start using a capital letter to represent the outcome of a random experiment. For example, let D be the outcome of a dice roll. D could take the value 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, but it is uncertain. We say D is a discrete random variable. Suppose now that I throw a dice, and it turns up 5. We say the observed value of D is 5.

A random variable is the outcome of a certain random experiment. It is usually denoted by a CAPITAL letter, but its observed value is not. For example let
 * $$D_1, D_2, ..., D_n$$

denote the outcome of n dice throws, then we usually use
 * $$d_1, d_2, ..., d_n$$

to denote the observed values of each Di.

From here on, random variable may be abbreviated as "rv" (a common abbreviation in other probability texts).

The Bernoulli experiment
(This section is optional and it assumes knowledge of binomial expansion.)

A coin-toss is a simpler, specific form of the Bernoulli experiment. If we toss a coin, we will expect to get a head or a tail equally probably. A Bernoulli experiment is slightly more versatile than that, in that the two possible outcomes need not have the same probability.

In a Bernoulli experiment you will either get a
 * success, denoted by 1, with probability p (where p is a number between 0 and 1)

or a
 * failure, denoted by 0, with probability 1 - p.

If the random variable B is the outcome of a Bernoulli experiment, and the probability of a successful outcome of B is p, we say B comes from a Bernoulli distribution with success probability p (where $X \sim D$ means that the random variable X has the probability distribution D):

 * $$B \sim Ber(p) $$

For example, if
 * $$C \sim Ber(0.65) $$

then
 * P(C = 1) = 0.65

and
 * P(C = 0) = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Binomial Distribution
If we repeat a Bernoulli experiment n times and count the number of successes, we get a binomial distribution. For example:
 * $$C_i \sim Ber(p)$$

for i = 1, 2, ..., n. That is, there are n variables C1, C2, ... , Cn and they all come from the same Bernoulli distribution. We consider:
 * $$B =  C_1 + C_2 + ... + C_n$$

, then B is the random variable that counts the number of successes in n trials (experiments). Such a variable is called a binomial variable, and we write
 * $$B \sim Bin(n,p)$$

 Example 1

Aditya, Sarah, and John are equally able. Their probability of scoring 100 in an exam follows a Bernoulli distribution with success probability 0.9. What is the probability of
 * i) Only one of them getting 100?
 * ii) Two of them getting 100?
 * iii) All 3 getting 100?
 * iv) None getting 100?

 Solution

We are dealing with a binomial variable, which we will call B. And
 * $$B \sim Bin(3,0.9)$$

i) Aditya's (as well as Sarah and John's) probability of scoring 100 is 0.9 or 90%. We can write this as
 * $$P(S = 100) = 0.9$$

... where S represents the score of any of them. The probability of any of them getting 100 (success) and the other two getting below 100 (failure) is
 * $$0.9 \times 0.1 \times 0.1 = 0.009$$

but there are 3 possible candidates for getting 100, so
 * $$P(B = 1) = 3\times 0.009 = 0.027$$

ii) We want to calculate
 * $$P(B = 2)$$

The probability is
 * $$0.9 \times 0.9 \times 0.1 = 0.081$$

but there are $${3\choose 2} $$ combinations of candidates for getting 100, so
 * $$P(B = 2) = {3\choose 2} \times 0.081 = 0.243$$

iii) To calculate
 * $$P(B = 3) = 0.9 \times 0.9 \times 0.9 = 0.729$$

iv) The probability of "None getting 100" is getting 0 success, so
 * $$P(B = 0) = 0.1 \times 0.1 \times 0.1 = 0.001$$

The above example strongly hints at the fact the binomial distribution is connected with the binomial expansion. The following result regarding the binomial distribution is provided without proof; the reader is encouraged to check its correctness.

If
 * $$B \sim Bin(n,p)$$

then
 * $$P(B = k) = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}$$

This is the kth term of the binomial expansion of (p + q)n, where q = 1 - p.

Events
In the previous sections, we have slightly abused the word "event". An event should be thought of as a collection (set) of outcomes of a certain random variable and hence we may assign a probability to it.

Let us introduce some notation first. Let A and B be two events, we define
 * $$\, A \cap B $$

to be the event of A and B. The probability of the event A and B is calculated as
 * $$\, P(A \cap B) = P(A) \times P(B) $$

We also define
 * $$ A \cup B $$

to be the event of A or B. As seen in exercise 10 above,
 * $$\, P(A \cup B) \ne P(A) + P(B) $$

in general. In fact,
 * $$\, 1 \geq P(A \cup B) \leq P(A) + P(B) $$

always holds.

Let's see some examples. Let A be the event of getting a number less than or equal to 4 when rolling a dice, and let B be the event of getting an odd number. Now
 * P(A) = 2/3

and
 * P(B) = 1/2

but the probability of A or B does not equal to the sum of the probabilities:
 * $$P(A \cup B) \ne P(A) + P(B) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{7}{6}$$

as 7/6 is greater than 1.

It is not difficult to see that the event of throwing a 1 or 3 is included in both A and B. So if we simply add P(A) and P(B), some events' probabilities are being added twice.

The Venn diagram below should clarify the situation a little more,
 * [[image:HSE_Venn1.png|A or B]]

Think of the blue square as the probability of B and the yellow square as the probability of A. These two probabilities overlap, and the space where they overlap is the probability of A and B. So the probability of A or B should be:
 * $$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$$

The above formula is the simplistic approach of the Inclusion-exclusion principle.

If for events A and B, we have
 * $$P(A \cap B) = 0$$

we say A and B are disjoint. This means both sets have no outcomes (elements) in common. If two events are disjoint, the following Venn diagram represents them:
 * [[image:HSE_Venn_2.png|A and B are disjoint]]

Venn diagram
 Traditionally, Venn diagrams are used to illustrate sets graphically. A set is simply a collection of things -- for instance, {1, 2, 3} is a set consisting of 1, 2 and 3. Venn diagrams are usually drawn round. It is generally very difficult to draw Venn diagrams for more than 3 intersecting sets. As an example, here is a Venn diagram showing four intersecting sets:

Expectation
The expectation of a random variable can be roughly thought of as the long-term average of the outcome of a certain repeatable random experiment, where by long-term average we mean that we perform the underlying experiment many times and average the outcomes. For example, let D be as above; the observed values of D (1,2 ... or 6) are equally likely to occur. So if you were to roll the dice a large number of times, you would expect each of the numbers to turn up roughly an equal number of times. So the expectation is
 * $$\frac{1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6}{6} = 3.5$$

We denote the expectation of D by E(D), so
 * $$ E(D) = 3.5 $$

We should now properly define the expectation.

Consider a random variable R, and suppose the possible values it can take are r1, r2, r3, ..., rn. We define the expectation to be
 * $$E(R) = r_1P(R = r_1) + r_2P(R = r_2) + ... + r_nP(R = r_n)$$

Think about it: Taking into account that the expectation is the long term average of the outcomes, can you explain why E(R) is defined the way it is?

 Example 1  In a fair coin toss, let 1 represent tossing a head and 0 a tail. The same coin is tossed 8 times. Let C be a random variable representing the number of heads in 8 tosses. What is the expectation of C, i.e. calculate E(C)?

Ans. E(C)=∑[r x P(C=r)]  where    0<=r<=8

$$ \begin{align} P(r) &= \binom{8}{r} \cdot \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^r \cdot \left ( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \right )^{8 - r} \\ &= \binom{8}{r} \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right )^8 \\ E(C) &= 0 \cdot \binom{8}{0} \cdot \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^8 + 1 \cdot \binom{8}{1} \cdot \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^8 + \dots + 8 \cdot \binom{8}{8} \cdot \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^8 \\ &= (0 + 8 + 56 + 168 + 280 + 280 + 168 + 56 + 8) \cdot \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^8 \\ &= 1024 \cdot \frac{1}{256} \\ &= 4 \\ \end{align} $$

So the expectation value is 4

Illinois–Northwestern men's basketball rivalry

The Illinois–Northwestern men's basketball rivalry is an intra-Big Ten Conference, college sports rivalry between the Illinois Fighting Illini and Northwestern Wildcats. Multiple factors have played into the creation of the games between the two schools; Illinois and Northwestern are both located within the state of Illinois and are located about 157 mi apart, and they share recruiting ground.

History
Illinois and Northwestern first met on March 7, 1908, with an Illinois victory, 18–13. The teams would continue to compete annually with the exception of 12 seasons. Since the two teams are both in the Big Ten Conference, they meet at least once per season. The location of the game alternates between State Farm Center, formerly Assembly Hall, in Champaign, and in Evanston at Welsh–Ryan Arena. There have only been a total of five neutral site games in this series with Illinois winning all of those games. Illinois leads the series 137–43.

Occasional feuds and incidents between the schools' programs have fueled the competition over the years. Illinois has the advantage in the history of the Big Ten tournament. Of the 20+ years the conference tournament has been held, Illinois and Northwestern have played a total of 3 times. Illinois holds the record of 3–0 over Northwestern.

Accomplishments by the two rivals
The following summarizes the accomplishments of the two programs.

Talk:public policy

public policy

 * Moved from WT:RFV. DAVilla 01:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I question whether this is an idiomatic expression, independent of the meanings of public + policy. --Jeffqyzt 18:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * It’s a set phrase. —Stephen 18:55, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * "public" is also not used in quite the same way as defined in its entry. Adjective senses 1 and 3 are relevant, "1. Pertaining to the affairs or official affairs of all people, not just those of a private group; contrasted with private." this would imply "public policy" to be "the policy of all the people", which it exceedingly rarely is. "3 Funded by the government." would give "policy funded by the government", while this is close it is not what "public policy means" as policies themselves are not funded, policies direct what gets and doesn't get funding; "public policy" can also relate to non-financial matters, e.g. "It is this government's policy not to negotiate with terrorists". Thryduulf 19:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Your last example doesn't contain the phrase "public policy"; and I don't think one can say "It is public policy not to negotiate with terrorists." I can't put my finger on what's wrong with it, but it just seems odd to me. —Ruakh TALK 19:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * The phrase does not refer, for example, to policy made in public, or to policy that is limited to public places. A public policy against child abuse does not mean that child abuse is permitted in private; it means it is prohibited by the body which seeks to enforce the will of the public. bd2412 T 21:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Agreed, keep. DAVilla 01:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I should add that this crops up frequently in the law regarding enforcement of foreign judgments. A government will not enforce a judgment that violates its public policy. For example, I go to England and slander the Queen, I could be sued by the royal family. But a U.S. court would find the judgment to be a violation of the public policy (not just "policy") codified in the First Amendment. bd2412 T 02:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Not only is it a set phrase, it is a professional field and an academic field of study. Many universities offer a degree in public policy. (Google searches on "public policy degree" or "PhD in public policy" generate many valid hits.) -- WikiPedant 13:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is an important term in law. As in: "Having the court enforce a contract to pay ransom is against public policy." I believe it to be a legal doctrine. DCDuring 19:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I have provided three quotations from free sources. The term appears in MW3. I don't trust myself to properly paraphrase. I'm not sure how to demonstrate its non-compositionality. It would take an attorney (from a common-law jurisdiction?) to define it properly. There is certainly usage going back to late 19th century. It is almost always in one of a few set phrases "violate public policy", "against public policy", or "contrary to public policy". Do we have to include all of the set phrases? DCDuring 20:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * RfD passed. Kept and struck. bd2412 T 07:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Wang Zhimin

Wang Zhimin (born 8 August 1957) is a Chinese politician, a member of the 19th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and vice president of the Central Institute for Party History and Literature Research. He was the Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong and Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Macao.

Biography
With a family root in Fujian, Wang was educated at the Fujian Normal University and became a member of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). From 1992 to 1998, he served at the New China News Agency Hong Kong Branch. In 1998, he returned to Fujian to serve as the assistant to the Mayor of Xiamen and other bureaux when Xi Jinping, later becoming General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, was the Governor of Fujian. In 2006, he became the Deputy Secretary-general of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong until 2015 when he became Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office. From 2016 to 2017, he was the Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Macau.

In 2017, he replaced Zhang Xiaoming to become the Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong. In January 2020 he was dismissed and replaced by Luo Huining, reportedly for misleading the leadership in Beijing about the extent of support for the ongoing protests in Hong Kong and for thus failing to foresee the opposition win by the Pro-democracy camp and localist camp in the 2019 local elections. After he dismissed, he was appointed as the vice President of the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee in ministerial level.

Controversies
In April 2018, Wang said in a speech that Hong Kong residents needed to respect and understand the Chinese constitution, as it is the "root and foundation" of its future following the amendment of Article 1 of the Chinese constitution to denote the CCP leadership as "the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics". Targeting the pro-democrats' slogan of calling for the end of "one party dictatorship" since the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. Wang said "If you oppose this system, you are overturning our one country, two systems. This is a crime committed against Hong Kong people. It will not bring blessings to Hong Kong, but calamity."

Talk:Galadriel

Why is there a redirect from Celeborn?
Neither Celeborn nor Celebrían have their own pages; do they not meet the not ability criteria, or something else? It seems odd to have those names just redirect to the pages of their spouses. Cinnamingirl (talk) 02:11, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Someone renamed this article to "Galadriel and Celeborn" then someone else named it back. Anyway, a lot of Tolkien-related stubs have been deleted recently, so now would probably not be the time to start a new Celeborn article... AnonMoos (talk) 22:04, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Given that Celeborn redirects here, it would seem sensible to have his name in the title really. What do other editors think? Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I feel like that would escalate Celeborn's notability to seem roughly equal to that of Galadriel. It may be simpler to have a hatnote that says "Celeborn" redirects here. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 20:29, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't agree that the title of the article should be changed to include Celeborn. Unlike the sources I've seen in other couple-styled articles for the project, the vast majority of the secondary sources, both academic and popular ones, specifically discuss Galadriel, with Celeborn often mentioned in passing or deemed irrelevant. In certain media adaptations of LOTR, which many editors seem to emphasize as an indicator of notability due to the coverage they inevitably generate, he is omitted entirely; even Peter Jackson didn't bring him back for The Hobbit films. So the character's notability is not at all roughly equal to Galadriel, and I think there is a good reason why the casting for her role was the first one to be announced for the upcoming Amazon TV show adaptation with no mention of him. I propose opening up a section to including a discussion about The History of Galadriel and Celeborn, a chapter from part 2 of Unfinished Tales. This article currently lacks a creation and conception section, which could discuss the multiple unused iterations of Galadriel's backstory written behind-the-scenes by Tolkien, and that is where Celeborn could be discussed within the context of that chapter. The French and Spanish language versions are also rated as good articles and seem to have more coverage on their relationship so maybe we could take a look and see how they do it? However, it is likely Celeborn's role will be fleshed out and expanded for Amazon TV show, and by the time it premieres I believe there should be enough coverage from secondary sources to support splitting the character into a standalone article. Just to clarify, the fictional biography section should only contain the account of Galadriel's backstory as told in the Silmarillion. Any other supplemental material from published books like Unfinished Tales can go into the section I propose, as mixing them together may be confusing due to the sometimes contradictory version of events. Haleth (talk) 04:06, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Well, I agree both that Celeborn needs more coverage (and that he'll likely get it via the TV series), and that there's scope for more on the couple from Unfinished Tales in a 'Concept and creation' section. That means that the plan is to create a Celeborn article as soon as there are sufficient Reliable Sources. Scholar finds over 500 possible sources for him, though many are evidently minor, so waiting seems best right now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:19, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The only source I can see so far that specifically goes into detail about Celeborn is this one: The Celeblain of Celeborn and Galadriel, which does go into detailed analysis about the chapter from Unfinished Tales. Unlike a few articles I've recreated like Goldberry and Melian, I had been unable to find any reliable secondary sources covering Celeborn which would convincingly refute the consensus to merge as well as the opinions of any potential objectors. Haleth (talk) 12:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * We certainly can't recreate the article on the basis of that article alone, even if it weren't from the pre-peer-reviewed days of Mythlore. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Request to insert Morfydd Clark
I am a fan of LOTR from India. I have read JRR Tolkien's books, watched Peter Jackson's films and also watched the eight episodes of The Rings of Power series.

I am being prevented from inserting a poster depicting Morfydd Clark as Galadriel. If someone in has uploaded an appropriate picture of Ms. Clark as Galadriel in Wikimedia Commons, please insert that picture in the place of my poster. Anirudh131819 (talk) 06:33, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The Bot has removed the image because it is not licensed to be here. Actually there isn't room for it either: that short section is already heavy with images. If someone gets a nice pic of Clark that is CC-by-SA then of course we can include it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:34, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Chiswick Chap I don't believe in the "there isn't room for it" part. If the picture of Rebecca Jackson Mendoza is removed, then there will definitely be a room for Ms. Clark. The Toronto theatre version of LOTR is not internationally popular, whereas the Amazon Prime is internationally popular. In fact, in my country, India, Amazon Prime claims that The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is the number one web series in India. Therefore, the Wikipedia readers worldwide would identify easily with Ms. Clark than with Ms. Mendoza.
 * I am definitely waiting for a person to come up with a nice pic of Clark and to insert it here, and if that person approves, I will remove Mendoza to make room for Clark. Anirudh131819 (talk) 10:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for discussing. However, the historic adaptations including the Toronto one are definitely of encyclopedic interest; further, the Mendoza image is used and licensed only here (to be clear, that means the image file would be deleted if it were removed) whereas the Clark image is available elsewhere. Your proposal would be therefore be disruptive. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:19, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no such thing as a "blank image" – what you inserted appears as a jumble of broken syntax to the reader. OK you thought it might be helpful, but your editing is now directly becoming disruptive; please obtain consensus (not just me, other editors too) before continuing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:32, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Chiswick Chap I understand that there is no such a thing as blank images. I sincerely apologize for my impatience. Meanwhile, I will wait for a third person to contribute to this conversation. That will resolve this matter in a way that will benefit the international audience. Anirudh131819 (talk) 11:55, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear editors, please note that this topic is still open. Every act of contribution to this topic is welcome. Anirudh131819 (talk) 08:22, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Again. Well, everyone may note that arguing with the licensing bot isn't going to get anyone very far, you can't do that. If a free image becomes available, we can probably find a place for it. For a non-free image, there's clearly an issue as the Adaptations section already contains three non-free images, which are (already) straying out of the section, so it is already (very) crowded. Policy (WP:IG) forbids the use of any kind of image gallery for non-free images, i.e. a table or box or list or anything of that sort for them is not allowed. No amount of vague talk of "benefit[ing] the international audience" will cut through the direct policy limitations here. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm redirecting my artist interest from one Catherine Opie to Marlon Riggs.

_TOC_

I plan to add information about who inspired Marlon since he had no one who truly understood him in his early years as a teen and young adult. I'd also like to explore his family dynamics such as what religious beliefs did his family hold? And does he believe in any particular form of reglion now.

My article is on the SF Chinatown bubonic plague of the 1900-1904. I would like to contribute some relevant information about the people of Chinatown as I feel that this article is lacking significant information relating to the people of Chinatown pre and or post the bubonic plague epidemic of the early 1900s. Perhaps adding a new title heading will initiate more relevant inquiries on the people of Chinatown pre and post the plague...__ angel

My Draft
The San Francisco plague of 1900–1904 was an epidemic of bubonic plague centered on San Francisco's Chinatown. It was the first plague epidemic in the continental United States.[1] The epidemic was recognized by medical authorities in March 1900, but its existence was denied for more than two years by Henry Gage, the Governor of California. His denial was based on business reasons: the wish to keep the reputations of San Francisco and California clean and to prevent the loss of revenue from trade stopped by quarantine. The failure to act quickly may have allowed the disease to establish itself among local animal populations.[2] Federal authorities worked to build a case to prove that there was a major medical health problem, and they isolated the affected area. Proof that an epidemic was occurring served to undermine the credibility of Gage, and he lost the governorship in the 1902 elections. The new governor, George Pardee, quietly implemented a medical solution and the epidemic was stopped in 1904. There were 121 cases identified, including 119 deaths.[3][4]

= 12/5/2017 : My contribution to the San Francisco Chinatown Plague of 1990-1904 article: Widespread racism towards Chinese immigrants was socially accepted during the initial time of the Chinatown plague in the early 1900s. Standard social rights and privileges were oftentimes denied to the Chinese people, as view in the way American landlords would refuse to maintain their own property when renting to Chinese immigrants. https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/plague-fear-and-politics-san-franciscos-chinatown [25] History of Chinese Americans. The living conditions in the Chinatown community reflected the social norms  and racial inequalities during that time for Chinese immigrants. Housing for the majority of the Chinatown Chinese immigrants were not fit nor adequate for human living, but with scare housing options and America landlords unwilling to provide and treat them fairly, the Chinese immigrant were left to live in insufficient housing. https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/plague-fear-and-politics-san-franciscos-chinatown [27].

The President Is Missing (novel)

The President Is Missing is a political thriller novel by former U.S. President Bill Clinton and novelist James Patterson published in June 2018. It is Clinton's first novel. Clinton and Patterson also teamed up to write a standalone novel with all new characters, The President's Daughter, released in June 2021.

Plot
The book begins with U.S. President Jonathan Lincoln Duncan preparing to defend himself against the charge of negotiating with a terrorist. It has been discovered that the president made a phone call to Suliman Cindoruk, the leader of the cyberterrorist group Sons of Jihad, and that he thwarted an attack on Cindoruk's life.

Duncan's daughter Lilly, who is studying in Paris, receives a coded message from a young Eastern European woman named Nina. Lilly tells her father about the strange person and the message, and she is requested to come back home immediately. Determined to know the source of the leak, the president invites Nina to the White House. She tells the president that in order to get the full story, he must meet with her partner at Nationals Park on Friday. Duncan meets the partner, named Augie. As Augie and the president leave the stadium, an assassin contracted by Suliman Cindoruk shoots and kills Nina. The Secret Service intervenes and extracts Duncan and Augie. The president's convoy heads to Virginia, but they are ambushed again. Two Secret Service agents are killed, but the President is unharmed and drives off with Augie. He arrives at a safe house, where he learns that Nina and Augie created and distributed a highly destructive computer virus called "Dark Ages" for Cindoruk, but they warned the US when they realized what it would do. The virus is scheduled to take effect in a few hours.

In a meeting with the Prime Minister of Israel, Prime Minister of Russia, and the Chancellor of Germany, Augie explains the full extent of Dark Ages: it is an attack that would completely destroy the data on every internet-connected device in the US, leaving the country vulnerable to outside attack and forcing the government to retreat from its foreign policy objectives. Duncan reveals that the US military has quickly built a rudimentary international network to maintain defensive abilities in the event of the Dark Ages virus launching.

The cybersecurity team, with Duncan's help, discover a way of rendering the virus ineffective, so they test it on a server at the Pentagon. This test inadvertently sets off the virus throughout the nation, but it is suspended after deleting only a few files. At the same time, the Sons of Jihad attempt to kill Augie, but are stopped by the Secret Service and a Marine Corps helicopter. Duncan assembles his top aides to try to guess the password. At the last second, his chief of staff correctly guesses the password and disables the virus.

As they return to the White House, Duncan reveals that assembling his team to guess the password was a ruse to discover the leaker. He had already obtained the password from Nina's text messages and entered it himself. The president confronts his chief of staff and tells her that he has evidence that she leaked "Dark Ages", and she tipped off Suliman as well. Duncan learns that Suliman had been sponsored by Russia and a faction in the House of Saud, both of whom wanted to weaken the superpower status of the US so they could expand their territory without interference. The president's popularity soars, and impeachment talks are dropped.

Cancelled television adaptation
Clinton and Patterson went on a 16-meeting tour to select the right outlet for a theatrical film. However, Showtime initially announced that they were turning the book into an ongoing drama series. Showtime president and CEO David Nevins said that "the pairing of President Clinton with fiction’s most gripping storyteller promises a kinetic experience, one that the book world has salivated over for months and that now will dovetail perfectly into a politically relevant, character-based action series for our network." On October 14, 2020, it was announced that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the series would not move forward at Showtime.

Reception
In his review of the novel for The New Yorker, Anthony Lane argues that The President Is Missing "maximizes its potency and fulfills its mission" while commenting negatively on the book's prose, the absurdity of its plot, and the use of product placement. James O'Sullivan published an analysis in The Guardian which uses stylometry to show that the novel was primarily written by Patterson.

In a negative review, Will Gompertz of the BBC gave the novel 1 out of 5 stars, calling it "predictable, dull and uninteresting".

The book topped The New York Times Best Seller list by the June 24 edition. Alfred A. Knopf announced that the book sold 250,000 copies in all formats during its first week. Nielsen Bookscan, which represents around 85 percent of print book sales, reported that at least 152,000 of the copies sold in its first week were hardcover. The book's first week sales were the highest in the adult fiction genre since the 2015 release of Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman and the highest in fiction since the November 2017 release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway. The book again topped the Best Seller list for the July 1 edition, the July 8 edition, and then again for the July 15 edition.

By July 6, 2018, Publishers Weekly stated that the book sold nearly 384,000 copies by the end of June and was the top selling new novel for the entire first half of 2018. The book would also top the Best Seller list for the July 22 edition. It then topped the Best Seller list for the July 29 edition. On August 8, Knopf announced that the book sold one million copies in North America alone.

Naoji Doi

Naoji Doi (Japanese: 土井 直治) (March 26, 1894 – February 12, 1963) was a Rear Admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

Career
Naoji Doi was a member of the 43rd Class of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, ranking 24 out of 95 Cadets. He commanded the 32nd Naval Special Base Force, a force of naval troops occupying the island of Mindanao during the course of World War II. When Lieutenant-General Gyosaku Morozumi left to command the IJA 35th Army, he left Naoji Doi to command his own force by himself. When the United States Marines landed on Mindanao, they were aided by the regular and constable troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippine Constabulary and pushed the Japanese back to the northern end of the island. Naoji Doi and his troops fought until the end of the war on August 15.
