![]() ![]() The Lakers have a league-high 44 nationally televised games this season, which means they are typically booked for high interest times for both in-person and primetime viewing on TNT and ESPN.We see a few main trends when slicing the data by day of the week and time of day, which seem to point at two main points: One final area of interest I wanted to check into was understanding any larger-order scheduling differences between the two teams. As of now, the Celtics and Lakers has the biggest spread in prices vs the Clippers, which makes perfect sense given their historical rivalry and the Celtic’s hot start to the season. The new Singer machines are equipped with an automatic thread clipper which saves the. What we end up seeing is a large and sustained “Laker Premium” in ticket prices, with no games against a common opponent costing more with the Clippers as the home team than the Lakers, and most games $70-100 more expensive. Only one of the shops making cheap waists used a Singer machine. Since both teams play extremely similar schedules, I thought it might also be interesting to slice the data by opponent to “control” for the quality of opposing teams, which definitely can influence individual game prices. One fun aside - see the two most expensive remaining for each team, on Christmas for the Lakers and early March for the Clippers? That’s when they play each other! Laker Premium vs Common Opponents This won’t necessarily capture differences in the average or median ticket price (which is a reportedly a good amount higher), or differences in high-end floor seats and boxes, it should still be a pretty useful gauge of fan demand and willingness to pay. To try to get a sense of how prices vary for the rest of the 2019-2020 season, I went through Seatgeek and recorded the the cheapest tickets currently available on the secondary market. While prices differ by game and opponent, Lakers tickets are routinely four to five times as expensive than Clippers tickets. The other place where Laker supremacy can be felt most tangibly, particularly for anyone who loves going to games in person, are home game ticket prices. This can be seen super easily through search trends of LA residents over the past year - there’s only been a single week where searches for the Clippers exceeded searches for the Lakers (the Clipper’s tough battle against the Warriors in the playoffs, Lakers not playing), and even the twin signings of both Kawhi and PG were dwarfed by the Anthony Davis trade and rest of Lakers free agency. One of the most exciting elements of this NBA season is that both LA-based teams are championship contenders, with either LeBron James and Anthony Davis or Kawhi Leonard and Paul George rolling into the Staples Center nearly every night.Īs a non-native Angeleno, it’s been super interesting to get a feel for the city’s fan landscape and rooting interests - for as good as the Clippers have been over the past decade, and despite the fact that they are the favorite to win the 2020 NBA Championship, LA is still very much a Laker town. ![]()

![]() In fact, Loperamide has been dubbed the poor man’s methadone because of its ready availability and inexpensiveness. Loperamide is an anti-diarrheal medication available in pill or liquid form that can produce similar effects to mild opioid highs. An overdose on DXM can have short and long-term mental effects and damage to the nervous system. If taken in high enough doses, this drug can cause overdose wherein breathing slows or stops. In the long term, this drug can wreak havoc on the stomach and even cause liver damage. Repeated usage in order to attain a high can lead to addiction and serious consequences to the user’s life and health. At high enough doses, the drug can produced serious hallucinogenic effects, including physical distortion, paranoia, and anxiety. When taking in large doses, the drug produces euphoric and hallucinogenic as well as sedative effects.ĭXM’s effects on the human body are not that different from alcohol and marijuana. DXM is classified as a synthetic opiate, but it does not act on the opioid receptors, although it can produce a false positive urine test for opioids. Household names like Nyquil, Robitussin, and Theraflu are all commonly abused sources of DXM. In one 2008 study, DXM was found in almost half of all OTC medications in the U.S., making it cheap, easy, and legal to acquire. ![]() DXM may also be mixed with other drugs such as marijuana or alcohol. Medications that include DXM are typically abused by taking higher than the recommended dosage or mixing with soda for flavor, in what is nicknamed “skittling” or “robotripping”. The most commonly abused sources of DXM are found in extra-strength cough syrup, tablets, and capsules. The most commonly misused OTC medications are:ĭXM is a cough suppressant used in several common cold medicines. ![]() ![]() The danger inherent in these medications is that they carry ingredients that can be misused at higher dosages. OTC medicines are used to treat a variety of illnesses and symptoms such as cough, cold, constipation, pain, and more. Consumers need to be aware of the major health risks associated with common OTC and prescription medications.īecause these medications can be sold without a prescription, they have a higher potential of being acquired and abused. While they appear safe, the truth is that any drug has the potential to do harm if used improperly, and many common prescription medications used for pain have the potential to become addictive. This is understandable, as pharmacists and doctors are typically trusted resources when it comes to acquiring medication for some kind of disease or illness. ![]() These drugs are abused more often because they are so accessible and many users do not realize that these medications can be addictive. In fact, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) notes that OTC (Over-the-counter) drugs and prescription medication are actually the most commonly abused substances in the nation after alcohol and marijuana. The truth is, however, that most drug addicts do not fall into this stereotype. When most people picture drug addicts, they think of destitute men and women, dressed poorly, with gaunt features and unkempt faces. The term “drug addiction” is typically associated with substances like heroin, methamphetamine, or cocaine. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While you can use war and technology to conquer your enemies, you can also use diplomacy, research, and world wonders to garner your competitors’ admiration and submission.

Keywords: Ensemble learning, stacking, cross entropy, gradient My own problem however, does not rely on images, but on a 17 dimensional vector of continuous values. As a base, I went on from pytorchs VAE example considering the MNIST dataset. It outperforms all three base classifiers, several state-of-the-art stacking algorithms, and some other representative ensemble learning methods on average. I’m currently trying to implement a VAE for dimensionality reduction purposes. Experiments with 22 data sets from the UCI machine learning repository show that the proposed stacking approach performs well. It is very likely that our treatment is a better choice for finding suitable weights. ![]() There is no connection between different models. Multiple models apply to those sub-instances and each for a class label. In these methods each meta instance is divided into a set of sub-instances. One major characteristic of our method is its treatment of each meta instance as a whole with one optimization model, which is different from some other stacking methods such as stacking with multi-response linear regression and stacking with multi-response model trees. ![]() The training process is conducted by using a neural network with the stochastic gradient descent technique. In this paper, we propose a new stacking algorith m that defines the cross-entropy as the loss function for the classification problem. If you dont know then Y is the predicted probability of a given data point belonging to a particular class/label. Log-loss: Now we will move to the machine learning section.
