# Inverse quadratic interpolation

In numerical analysis, inverse quadratic interpolation is a root-finding algorithm, meaning that it is an algorithm for solving equations of the form f(x) = 0. The idea is to use quadratic interpolation to approximate the inverse of f. This algorithm is rarely used on its own, but it is important because it forms part of the popular Brent's method.

## The method

The inverse quadratic interpolation algorithm is defined by the recurrence relation
    $x_{n+1}={\frac {f_{n-1}f_{n}}{(f_{n-2}-f_{n-1})(f_{n-2}-f_{n})}}x_{n-2}+{\frac {f_{n-2}f_{n}}{(f_{n-1}-f_{n-2})(f_{n-1}-f_{n})}}x_{n-1}$
                $+{\frac {f_{n-2}f_{n-1}}{(f_{n}-f_{n-2})(f_{n}-f_{n-1})}}x_{n},$
where f$_k$ = f(x$_k$). As can be seen from the recurrence relation, this method requires three initial values, x$_0$, x$_1$ and x$_2$.

## Explanation of the method

We use the three preceding iterates, x$_{n−2}$, x$_{n−1}$ and x$_n$, with their function values, f$_{n−2}$, f$_{n−1}$ and f$_n$. Applying the Lagrange interpolation formula to do quadratic interpolation on the inverse of f yields
    $f^{-1}(y)={\frac {(y-f_{n-1})(y-f_{n})}{(f_{n-2}-f_{n-1})(f_{n-2}-f_{n})}}x_{n-2}+{\frac {(y-f_{n-2})(y-f_{n})}{(f_{n-1}-f_{n-2})(f_{n-1}-f_{n})}}x_{n-1}$
    $\qquad +{\frac {(y-f_{n-2})(y-f_{n-1})}{(f_{n}-f_{n-2})(f_{n}-f_{n-1})}}x_{n}.$
We are looking for a root of f, so we substitute y = f(x) = 0 in the above equation, and this results in the above recursion formula.

## Behaviour

The asymptotic behaviour is very good: generally, the iterates x$_n$ converge fast to the root once they get close. However, performance is often quite poor if the initial values are not close to the actual root. For instance, if by any chance two of the function values f$_{n−2}$, f$_{n−1}$ and f$_n$ coincide, the algorithm fails completely. Thus, inverse quadratic interpolation is seldom used as a stand-alone algorithm.
The order of this convergence is approximately 1.84 as can be proved by secant method analysis.

## Comparison with other root-finding methods

As noted in the introduction, inverse quadratic interpolation is used in Brent's method.
Inverse quadratic interpolation is also closely related to some other root-finding methods. Using linear interpolation instead of quadratic interpolation gives the secant method. Interpolating f instead of the inverse of f gives Muller's method.
# Mega Adventure Park

Mega Adventure Park - Singapore is located on the Sentosa Island, home to several of Singapore's main attractions. The park features the MegaZip flying fox, which spans 450m, flies at 60 km/hour, passing over the island's jungles and beaches. The park also includes a 36-obstacle treetop ropes course (MegaClimb), a 15-meter free fall simulator (MegaJump), and bungee-assisted trampolines (MegaBounce).

## Attractions
### MegaZip

The main attraction is a 450-metre (1,480 ft) zip-line which takes participants from the peak of Imbiah Hill, 75 metres (246 ft) above ground level and at a speed of up to 60 kilometres per hour (37 mph), across a jungle, a beach, the sea, and ending on a man-made island off Siloso Beach. Participants are connected to the zip-line by a customized "zipper" that rolls them down the line from the start to the end.

### MegaClimb

MegaClimb is an aerial obstacle course featuring three levels of ropes courses installed around eucalyptus trees at a height of 15 metres (49 feet). Designed to challenge participants of varying skill levels, the course offers a thrilling outdoor adventure experience.

### Safety

Participants are provided with full-body harnesses and are connected to continuous belaying systems to ensure safety throughout the course.

### Course Details

Each of the three levels of MegaClimb includes 12 obstacles, featuring a variety of challenges such as:
* Confidence Gaps: Spaces between platforms that require participants to overcome their fear and balance across.
* Horizontal Ladders: Ladders suspended horizontally that test balance and coordination.
* Mini Flying Foxes: Small zip lines that provide an exhilarating ride between obstacles.
MegaClimb combines physical activity with adventure, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a unique and challenging experience

### MegaJump

MegaJump is a simulated parachute jump. The sensation of a free fall can be experienced by jumping off the tower which is connected to a power fan descender that ensures a soft and safe landing.

### MegaBounce

MegaBounce is based on a simple trampoline with the added feature of a system of elastic bands that allows participants to make higher-than-normal jumps safely – they can "bounce" up to 10 metres (33 ft) into the air.

# Medicine (Plies song)

"Medicine" is the first promo single of American hip hop recording artist Plies' fourth studio album, Goon Affiliated. The track is absent from the retail versions for unknown reasons, but is on the Amazon deluxe version. The hip hop track features American singer-songwriter Keri Hilson. There are two versions, one with a more radio friendly, slow beat and one with a more club beat.
The original version of the song was by Three 6 Mafia ft. Gucci Mane & Keri Hilson under the same title. The tempo is somewhat slower in that version.
The song contains a sample of "Ex fan des sixties" by Jane Birkin and composed by French singer and songwriter Serge Gainsbourg.

## Music video

A music video was shot for the song and premiered on January 14, 2010. It takes place in a hospital where Keri Hilson plays a nurse and Plies is the doctor which makes reference to the song. Myammee from VH1 also makes a cameo in the beginning of the video.

# Mehmet Ali Eren

Mehmet Ali Eren (born 1951, Ovacik, Turkey) is a former politician of the Social Democratic Populist Party (SHP) and after his dismissal from it of the People's Labor Party (HEP). For both he was a member of the Turkish Parliament He graduated from the faculty of law from the Istanbul University following which he became a lawyer.

## Political career

In the parliamentary elections of 1987, he was elected into the Turkish parliament for the SHP representing Istanbul. After Eren and other six SHP politicians have participated in a Kurdish congress in Paris organized by the Kurdish Institute and the Freedom Foundation in October 1989, they were all expelled from the party in November the same year. Following Eren joined the People's Labor Party (HEP). With time, he then decided to leave the HEP but work in parliament as an independent until November 1991.

### Political views and Kurdish activism

In January 1988 he criticized in a party meeting on linguistic rights that the Kurdish question is not discussed openly and that realistic solutions are presented to solve the issue. He was of the view that if the problem persists, it would be an obstacle for democracy in Turkey. Further he criticized that the existence of Turks of Kurdish origin has been denied and that the law was applied differently in the west than it was it the east. This speech lead the chairman of the SHP, Erdal Inönü to temporarily resign from his post and the SHP to create a Commission for the East. In April 1988, Eren also demanded that the law which forbade to speak Kurdish, would be lifted. He has visited Hamburg and Berlin in Germany. For a speech he held in Hamburg he faced prosecution in Turkey for separatist activities. In 1991 he was a guest at the Town Hall in Berlin on invitation by the Green Party where there he warned from delivering aid through Turkey as the Kurds didn't receive much aid when they fled to Turkey during the Anfal campaign in 1988. He supported the establishment of a Kurdish state and reasoned an autonomy like the Iraqi Kurdish leaders Masoud Barzani and Jalal Talabani demanded was not enough for the Kurds.

## Personal life

He is married and has 2 children.

# Medway Community Healthcare

Medway Community Healthcare is a community interest company providing community health trust services to the people of Medway established under the Transforming Community Services initiative. It comprises the community services previously run by Medway Primary Care Trust.
In July 2012 the organisation stepped in to help rescue the Balfour Centre, a day centre for adults with physical and learning disabilities, in Rochester, when it was earmarked for closure by Medway Council to save money.
As a social enterprise with an annual budget of £50 million in 2012, it can use its surplus to develop services and to invest in community projects; in September 2012 it offered £30,000 in awards to support groups who help people in the local community.
It runs the Wisdom Hospice in Rochester which was awarded a grant of £200,000 from the Department of Health in April 2013 to improve the patient environment.
The organisation established a subsidiary, Gateway Assure, in 2012 to provide professional services to "private, public and third sector clients", including assurance services, business consultancy, risk management, training and executive coaching. It made losses of £518,273 during its first two years.

# Mecarobot Golf

Mecarobot Golf is an arcade-style golf video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was originally released in Japan as Serizawa Nobuo no Birdie Try (芹沢信雄のバーディトライ, "Nobuo Serizawa's Birdy Try").
The general theme of Mecarobot Golf is a near-futuristic golf course where humanoid robots are considered to be second-class citizens. A robot named Eagle is banned from participating in the world's professional golfing tournaments due to discrimination. Eagle has the ability to play golf better than a human being, but is denied the chance to play with human individuals. A benefactor purchases Eagle and builds a golf course for him to practice on. The player's skill determine whether humans or robots are truly better at golf. Various modes (lesson, driving range, competition) help the player practice his abilities that he will need in future matches.
Japanese professional golfer Nobuo Serizawa endorsed the Japanese version of the game. However, the Western version of the game replaced his likeness with Eagle the robot. There are two possible background sounds that can be played while golfing; a simple tune for relaxation or a complex melody for "excitement."

## Gameplay

Upon starting a game, the player must either "sign up" (create a new profile) or use an existing profile of the Hyper Golf Club (referred to in the Japanese version as the "Lake Side Golf Club"). It is possible to save a game while in the middle of a golfing session. Through practice and the driving range, duffers can improve their maximum yardage, their handicap, and eventually get promoted from duffer status. "Semi-pro" and "pro" levels are considered to be the two highest levels a video game golfer can receive in this video game.
Emergency lessons offer advice when a player is about to perform a mistake in the practice (learning) mode of the game. After the 13th hole, the players must use a small boat to get to the 14th hole regardless of what mode the player is using. Like most Super NES golfing games, the clubs are selected automatically for the player, and the player must aim the ball and strike it with accuracy and balance. Players get to choose between four sets of golf clubs. As the player plays in various months of the year, the golf course changes according to the season.
The Japanese version features an all-male group of Japanese golfers, while the Western version has caucasian "family members."
