The Good Neighbor

State 2 can be called the Good Neighbor. It was developed later in life. When I am in this identity state, I think of myself as a property owner, an owner who values his privacy and the exclusive control of his property. The Good Neighbor is also a friendly person who likes to stay on good terms with his neighbors. 

In addition to normally reducing the overall risk, this approach can have numerous safety, economic, and good-neighbor benefits, such as... 

If you park at a trailer-type park with electric hook-ups and water you will most likely have neighbors. Do your work late at night so pungent or obvious odors (like ether) do not reach any outside noses. Try to work with precursors like isosafrole, which smells like black licorice, or some of the good smelling precursors. Good odors are not as suspicious as bad or strange odors.

To develop a KNN model, a distance measure is selected and tlie optimal number of nearest neighbors is determined. It is recommended that K be selected using leave-one-out cross-validation applied to a training set. The outputs of the analysis arc the predicted classes for the training set and the goodness values. 

Goodness Value The goodness values for the three unknowns are listed in the last column of Table 4.15. Consist nt with the nearest-neighbor table, unknowns 1 and 2 have a goodness val e less than 8, and so are considered reliable classifications. Unknown 3 has a goodness value greater than 8, further indicating a problem with the classification. 

Figure 15 shows how the leave-one-out error changes with the model of the lateral interactions. It is clear that the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions are the most important. These two interactions already provide a good description of all the adlayer structures. The next-next-nearest-neighbor interaction does not improve the model, but remarkably the linear... 

The first author, Said Elnashaie, and his wife, Shadia Elshishini, moved next door to the second author, Frank Uhlig, and his family in 2000. The two families became good neighbors and friends. Their chats covered the usual topics and occasionally included random teaching, departmental, and university matters. 

Is the difference between a good neighbor and a bad neighbor simply that one doesn t hit baseballs through your windows, and the other does ... 

It s not that simple. There are many qualities of a good neighbor, and one of the most important is distance. Having your own space, and having your neighbor respect that space, is the key to a good next-door relationship. This is true whether discussing the person whose lawn abuts yours, the...
