The Times-Picayune wrote that "Washington grins, croons and howls like a soul man while dispensing sleek guitar lines alongside the horn-and-bass-driven Roadmasters." The Daily Herald determined that "the milky 'Please Come Back to Me' and 'Close the Door' are deeply felt and joyful ... [the] horn arrangements here always surprise, especially on 'I'm in Love', a pretty and whirling ballad laced in flutes." The Independent concluded that the album "finds the supremely tasteful guitar player on strong form on a stew of gospel and soul-drenched ballads and dance tunes." The Portland Press Herald called the music "classic horns-&-organ R&B, colored by jazz, soul and a lot of funk."
The Washington Post deemed the title track "a ceaseless party chant powered by funk guitar chords, drummer Wilbert Arnold's sly syncopations and saxophonist Larry Carter's keening alto." OffBeat noted that "Washington's liquid solos—which embrace the jazzy lines of Charlie Christian with the percussive bite of Johnny Guitar Watson—always seem to find hidden nooks woven throughout the Roadmasters backdrop, especially on the instrumental workouts." The Vero Beach Press Journal considered "I Stand Accused" to be "a soul vocal tour-de-force."

# In-crowd algorithm

The in-crowd algorithm is a numerical method for solving basis pursuit denoising quickly; faster than any other algorithm for large, sparse problems. This algorithm is an active set method, which minimizes iteratively sub-problems of the global basis pursuit denoising:
$\min _{x}{\frac {1}{2}}\|y-Ax\|_{2}^{2}+\lambda \|x\|_{1}.$
where $y$ is the observed signal, $x$ is the sparse signal to be recovered, $Ax$ is the expected signal under $x$, and $\lambda$ is the regularization parameter trading off signal fidelity and simplicity. The simplicity is here measured using the sparsity of the solution $x$, measure through its $\ell _{1}$-norm. The active set strategies are very efficient in this context as only few coefficient are expected to be non-zero. Thus, if they can be identified, solving the problem restricted to these coefficients yield the solution. Here, the features are greedily selected based on the absolute value of their gradient at the current estimate.
Other active-set methods for the basis pursuit denoising includes BLITZ, where the selection of the active set is performed using the duality gap of the problem, and The Feature Sign Search, where the features are included based on the estimate of their sign.

## Algorithm

It consists of the following:
* Declare $x$ to be 0, so the unexplained residual $r=y$
* Declare the active set $I$ to be the empty set, and $I^{c}$ to be its complement (the inactive set)
* Calculate the usefulness $u_{j}=|\langle rA_{j}\rangle |$ for each component in $I^{c}$
* If on $I^{c}$, no $u_{j}>\lambda$, terminate
* Otherwise, add $L\approx 25$ components to $I$ based on their usefulness
* Solve basis pursuit denoising exactly on $I$, and throw out any component of $I$ whose value attains exactly 0. This problem is dense, so quadratic programming techniques work very well for this sub problem.
* Update $r=y-Ax$ - n.b. can be computed in the subproblem as all elements outside of $I$ are 0
* Go to step 3.
Since every time the in-crowd algorithm performs a global search it adds up to $L$ components to the active set, it can be a factor of $L$ faster than the best alternative algorithms when this search is computationally expensive. A theorem guarantees that the global optimum is reached in spite of the many-at-a-time nature of the in-crowd algorithm.
# South philippine dwarf kingfisher

The South philippine dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx melanurus mindanensis) is a subspecies of bird in the family Alcedinidae that is endemic to the Philippines found in the islands of Mindanao and Basilan. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It is treated as a separate species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

## Taxonomy and description

The Philippine dwarf kingfisher is a small mostly orange kingfisher with a red beak and legs, and a white belly. It has a light lilac hue which is more intense in the southern subspecies and has more plain orange wings compared to the dark blue of the other two subspecies of this bird
The Philippine kingfisher was formally described by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup in 1848 under the binomial name Alcedo melanura. The specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek melanouros meaning "with a black tail". The Philippine dwarf kingfisher is now placed in the genus Ceyx that was introduced by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1799.
The subspecies C. m. mindanensis is sometimes treated as a separate species, the south Philippine dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx mindanensis), with the nominate and samarensis classified by the Handbook of the Birds of the World as the north Philippine dwarf kingfisher. The two proposed species are differentiated by color and size: north Philippine dwarf kingfishers have dark blue spotted wings and ears and are slightly smaller than south Philippine dwarf kingfishers, which have a more noticeable lilac hue and are overall more uniform orange.
In March 2020 a fledgling of the C. m. mindanensis subspecies was photographed for the first time by the Robert S. Kennedy Conservation Society led by Miguel David De Leon in Cagayan de Oro.

## Habitat and conservation status

It is found in lowland primary and secondary forest up to 750 metres (2,460 ft) above sea level. It prefers areas with high rainfall.
As the International Union for Conservation of Nature recognizes it as its own species it has been assessed as a vulnerable species. The Southern subspecies has a lower estimated population of 2,500 to 9,999 mature individuals. This species' main threat is habitat loss with wholesale clearance of forest habitats as a result of logging, agricultural conversion and mining activities occurring within the range.
There are currently no targeted conservation plans for the species. It occurs in a few protected areas throughout its range like the Pasonanca Natural Park and Mount Kitanglad National Park but protection and enforcement from loggers and hunters is still lax.

# 1779 Paraná

1779 Paraná, provisional designation 1950 LZ, is an asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 4 kilometers in diameter.
The asteroid was discovered on 15 June 1950, by Argentine astronomer Miguel Itzigsohn at the La Plata Astronomical Observatory in La Plata, capital of the province of Buenos Aires. It was named for the Paraná River in South America.

## Orbit and classification

Paraná orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 1.8–2.5 AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,172 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 1° with respect to the ecliptic.
As no precoveries were taken, and no prior identifications were made, Paraná's observation arc begins with its official discovery observation in 1950. Paraná has also been cataloged by the Palomar–Leiden survey and received the survey designation 6116 P-L (PLS6116).

## Physical characteristics
### Diameter and albedo

According to the survey carried out by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, Paraná measures 4.09 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.221. Based on a magnitude-to-diameter conversion, using an albedo in the range of 0.05 to 0.25 and a magnitude of 14.1, the asteroid's generic diameter is between 4 and 9 kilometers.

### Rotation period

As of 2017, Paraná's spectral type, rotation period and shape remain unknown.

## Naming

This minor planet was named for a large and 4,880-kilometers long Paraná River that runs through northern Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. It is a major tributary to the La Plata river, where the city of La Plata and the discovering observatory are located (also see 1029 La Plata). The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 8 April 1982 (M.P.C. 6832).
# Gehring Clinic

The Gehring Clinic is a historic house and medical facility at the south end of Broad Street Historic District in Bethel, Maine. Built in 1896 for Doctor John George Gehring, it is a fine local example of Queen Anne architecture. It is recognized, however, for its association with Gehring, a nationally known psychotherapist who was an early proponent of the use of hypnosis to treat nervous disorders. Gehring opened his large home as a rest home for those who traveled to Bethel to receive his treatment. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

## Description and history

The Gehring House is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house with a rambling structure. Its main block is rectangular, with two large ells extending from its rear at angles. The main (northern) facade is divided into three bays, with a centered entrance sheltered by a portico supported by Ionic columns. The entry is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a wide fanlight of frosted glass. The facade is asymmetrically fenestrated, with two windows in the left bay and one in the right on the first level, and rounded bay windows in the center and left bays on the second level, with a single sash window in the right bay. A round turreted projecting section is attached to the house at the northwest corner, two stories in height and topped by a conical roof.
The eastern of the two rear wings served as a service ell, while that on the west side was where Doctor Gehring had his office and saw his patients. The two wings frame a lawn area that the doctor landscaped, and where, along with much of the rest of the property and parts of Broad Street, he engaged in his hobby of gardening.
The Gehrings moved to Bethel in 1887. Gehring, a medical doctor by training, had had to abandon a career as a surgeon due to a nervous disorder. He learned of the activities of Dr. Frederick Gerrish, based at Bowdoin College, who advocated the use of hypnosis in the treatment of such problems. After studying the methods with Gerrish in Portland, Gehring received the treatment himself, and was cured. He returned to Bethel and began offering the treatment from the clinic in his home. He and his wife opened their home to patients, housing as many as fourteen at a time while they received treatment. The Bethel Inn Resort was built in 1913 with funding from his patients and dedicated to him. Dr. Gehring retired from practice in 1925 and died in 1932. The property has since seen use as a medical facility, but is presently (2014) vacant. Construction vehicles and a construction fence were on the property July 4, 2024. It appeared that deferred maintenance was being tended to on the building.
