The dataset used in this book consists of daily weather observations from various locations in Australia spanning a 10-year period. The target variable is "RainTomorrow," which predicts whether it will rain the following day. The dataset comprises 23 attributes, including: DATE: The date of observation.; LOCATION: The name of the weather station's location.; MINTEMP: The minimum temperature in degrees Celsius.; MAXTEMP: The maximum temperature in degrees Celsius.; RAINFALL: The amount of rainfall recorded for the day in mm.; EVAPORATION: Class A pan evaporation in mm for the 24 hours until 9 am.; SUNSHINE: The number of hours of bright sunshine in a day.; WINDGUSTDIR: The direction of the strongest wind gust in the 24 hours until midnight.; WINDGUSTSPEED: The speed of the strongest wind gust in km/h in the 24 hours until midnight.; WINDDIR9AM: The direction of the wind at 9 am. The project utilizes several machine learning models, including K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Adaboost, LGBM classifier, Gradient Boosting, and XGB classifier. Three feature scaling techniques, namely raw scaling, MinMax scaling, and standard scaling, are employed. These machine learning models are utilized to analyze the weather attributes and make predictions about the occurrence of rainfall. Each model has its strengths and may perform differently based on the characteristics of the dataset. Additionally, a GUI is developed using PyQt5 to visualize cross-validation scores, predicted values versus true values, confusion matrix, learning curves, decision boundaries, model performance, scalability, training loss, and training accuracy. These visualizations within the GUI provide a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance, learning behavior, decision-making boundaries, and the quality of its predictions. Users can leverage these insights to fine-tune the model and improve its accuracy and generalization capabilities. In addition, the GUI developed using PyQt5 also includes the capability to visualize features on a year-wise and month-wise basis. This functionality allows users to explore the variations and trends in different weather attributes across different years and months. With the year-wise and month-wise visualizations, users can gain insights into the temporal patterns and trends present in the weather data. It enables them to observe how specific attributes change over time and across different seasons, providing a deeper understanding of the weather patterns and their potential influence on rainfall occurrences.

In The Open Future: Why Future Contingents are all False, Patrick Todd launches a sustained defense of a radical interpretation of the doctrine of the open future. He argues that all claims about undetermined aspects of the future are simply false. Todd argues that this theory is metaphysically more parsimonius than its rivals, and that objections to its logical and practical coherence are much overblown. Todd shows how proponents of this view can maintain classical logic, and argues that the view has substantial advantages over Ockhamist, supervaluationist, and relativist alternatives. Todd draws inspiration from theories of ''neg-raising'' in linguistics, from debates about omniscience within the philosophy of religion, and defends a crucial comparison between his account of future contingents and certain more familiar theories of counterfactuals. Further, Todd defends his theory of the open future from the charges that it cannot make sense of our practices of betting, makes our credences regarding future contingents unintelligible, and is at odds with proper norms of assertion. In the end, in Todd's classical open future, we have a compelling new solution to the longstanding problem of future contingents.

2002 the UN "Award for Sustainable Development Partnerships" How is it feasible to pay fair prices to farmers and sewers in India, Tanzania or Bangladesh, to protect nature and guarantee sustainable production? The Swiss organic cotton pioneer and founder of Remei AG, Patrick Hohmann, has succeeded against all odds. The fabric that we wear on our skin ruins entire economies and destroys nature. Hohmann no longer wanted to accept this. The reason: "It cannot be fair for an Indian farmer to subsidize my T-shirt." After several bankruptcies, setbacks and disappointments, he succeeded in producing cotton for the benefit of all stakeholders. Hohmann set up the bioRe® Foundation, an independent organization, which promotes organic cotton cultivation in India and Tanzania in cooperation with almost 6000 organic farmers. The foundation supports organic farming as a sustainable livelihood for smallholders and their families; it assures the participation of farming communities by respecting their human rights.
