The wealth fund will start operating from tomorrow, the profits are from the nation’s natural resources. It’s time to use the money for the benefit of Israel’s residents – reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in advanced technologies and prepare for climate change.
Prof. Ofira Ayalo at Dalik Volenitch
Prof. Ofira Ayalon is talking about the Western world throwing food in huge quantities.
The world is in a global food crisis because of the coronavirus, damage to the food supply chains as well as the impact of the war in Ukraine. On top of these- the climate crisis. In order to produce food, we need energy, water, pesticides, fertilizers and more.
So food wastage has wider effects. In order to minimize this problem we need personal responsibility (such as planning food purchases) and the responsibility of the state.

Battle of the buildings the electric charging station version
Idan Liebes
In the absence of legislation, neighbors’ clashes over the installation of charging stations in condominiums are increasing.
Idan Liebes, claims that out of all the installation options of charging stations, using the building’s public grid connection is the preferred method.
He explains that on average electric vehicles need to be able to charge at least twice a week at home, otherwise it will not be possible to expand the market, and failing to provide adequate solutions could lead to dangerous “pirated” charging solutions instead.

Modern Statistics: A Computer-Based Approach with Python
R. Kenett, S. Zacks and P. Gedeck, Springer 2022
This innovative textbook presents material for a course on modern statistics that incorporates Python as a pedagogical and practical resource. Drawing on many years of teaching and conducting research in various applied and industrial settings, the authors have carefully tailored the text to provide an ideal balance of theory and practical applications. Numerous examples and case studies are incorporated throughout, and comprehensive Python applications are illustrated in detail. A custom Python package is available for download, allowing students to reproduce these examples and explore others.
The first chapters of the text focus on analyzing variability, probability models, and distribution functions. Next, the authors introduce statistical inference and bootstrapping, and variability in several dimensions and regression models. The text then goes on to cover sampling for estimation of finite population quantities and time series analysis and prediction, concluding with two chapters on modern data analytic methods. Each chapter includes exercises, data sets, and applications to supplement learning.
Modern Statistics: A Computer-Based Approach with Python is intended for a one- or two-semester advanced undergraduate or graduate course. Because of the foundational nature of the text, it can be combined with any program requiring data analysis in its curriculum, such as courses on data science, industrial statistics, physical and social sciences, and engineering. Researchers, practitioners, and data scientists will also find it to be a useful resource with the numerous applications and case studies that are included.
