suppose we have the following functions
f[x_,y_]:=Cos[x]+Cos[y];
g[x_,y_]:=x^2+y^2;
How to plot the contour formed by (x,y) points where the functions f[x,y] touches with g[x,y]? I had tried by the following command,
ContourPlot[f[x,y] ==g[x,y],{x,-Pi,Pi},{y,-Pi,Pi},PlotPoints -> 100];
But I failed.
Someone please help me how to fix it.

Crossing the Line

A couple of days ago, I posted a video of the restaurant owner blocking the health inspector’s car, so he couldn’t move and thus, continue to do his job. The point being made was, “If I can’t do my job, you can’t do yours.”
Here is an excellent read on this incident and the subject at hand. The author makes the point that there are FAR more of us than there are of them. It’s worth the read.
School of Rock, One Beat CPR Share Their Front Line Action Plans for Adaptation and the Future

Posted by Barney Beal, Content Director
For Rob Price, CEO of the School of Rock, the information swirling about in the early days of the coronavirus was a temptation to be avoided.
“We decided to get some independent and customized and proprietary medical advice from the get go, to help us synthesize what was going on rather than listening to the news and trying to reconcile between CNN and MSNBC and Fox news,” Price said on a recent NetSuite virtual event, part of the NetSuite Business Now series. “All of that input in the early days was complete mumbo jumbo.”
Price and team brought in a pediatric specialist with some background in epidemiology to help them plan how to manage their corporate- and franchise-owned music schools as things progressed. Even with that guidance, the coronavirus still caught the company unexpected in many ways. It caught most businesses unexpected.
According to a survey conducted during the virtual event, 48% of the nearly 350 attendees said they didn’t have a business continuity plan in place, another 17% said they had one but it wasn’t useful.
So, what to do? Navigating business uncertainty was the theme of last week’s virtual event in which Price was joined by his CFO, John Cappadona, along with Lawrence Franchetti, CEO of One Beat CPR Learning Center, which provides CPR training and distributes defibrillators and related health care devices.
For most businesses, the first step is taking stock and determining immediate priorities. While most companies think in 12-, 24-, and 36-month increments, uncertainty means narrowing that window significantly, said Scott Beaver, senior product manager at Oracle NetSuite and moderator of the event. Franchetti’s teams were positioned to see the warning signs early.
“We serve first responders, hospitals and everything from schools to churches,” Franchetti said. “We knew there was an emerging problem, and it was coming very quickly.”
For both School of Rock and One Beat CPR Learning Center, adapting required a swift shift in business model. It was a common concern: the biggest challenge cited by attendees on the virtual event was continuing business operations (51%), followed by order reductions (35%) and those who had to close doors until restrictions are lifted (10%). Just 3% cited existing supply chain that can’t deliver materials.
From Training to Equipment and In-person Lessons to Online
One Beat CPR shifted from a training-plus-product business to providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other equipment its customers suddenly needed, such as ventilators. While the business had sold some ventilators in the past, it took some work to make the transition, identifying its most trusted suppliers and targeting them early. One Beat CPR is now selling masks, face shields and sanitizers among other items in demand by people grappling with the coronavirus.
“We were able to work with our bank, the finance team and undergo plans to acquire products that folks on the front line needed,” Franchetti said. “We were able to work with vendors as well, to create products and business plans for our team to be successful. The first day it didn’t seem like it, but now we’re pretty nimble.”
It’s now working with manufacturers to acquire more PPE products and has started making its own face shields.
“We had to think big, bigger and biggest,” Franchetti said. “We thought, ‘why can’t we do this ourselves?’ I’ve been calling it a watershed moment for our organization. We’ve opened up additional distribution lines, tested manufacturing our own products. We’re shipping globally and getting into areas where we didn’t have a strong foothold.”
School of Rock had to quickly transition from its business of in-person music lessons.
“We needed to plan for the short term, but in context of the long term,” Price said.
Within a week, School of Rock had created an online education platform, a process that likely would have taken six months without the pressure of the current climate, Price said. Not only will that platform help the company and its franchisees survive now, but it helps solve some of the reason schoolchildren don’t take lessons, like summer vacations, lessons that are too far away, or students unable to drive to classes. The organization was able to do that thanks to collaborating closely with franchisees and leaning on its culture of learning and sharing. The organization held regular meetings, built a wiki page for feedback on the platform and shared best practices of the franchises that were managing best.
“Our community and our team has rallied around a purpose and our culture,” said Cappadona, the CFO. “We’ve done a lot of work over the last few years building that up. It has really revealed itself during this time of crisis.”
Staying Focused on the Mission
The coronavirus didn’t just introduce business challenges, it raised stress levels as well. Both companies were able to turn to their business mission to help cope.
“The reality is that we have our team [to worry about] too,” Franchetti said. “The stress and anxiety of how this will affect their home life. How are they going to come home? Anchor in yourself and your purpose. For ourselves, it’s helping save lives.”
One Beat CPR created online classroom sessions for its employees who had children home from school. It also paid for babysitting.
Both organizations were also careful and clear communicating with customers and employees. School of Rock worked to educate franchise operators on managing their costs, including navigating conversations with their landlords.
“This has revealed to me the power and importance of individual communication,” Price said. “Every franchisee in our system has my cell phone number.”
With new business models and new learnings, both businesses are poised to bounce back when things return to normal. But as one poll during the virtual event posed—How will you get back to normal?—many are not sure. Just 5% said they would get back to business as normal, 43% predicted minor tweaks, 26% predicted significant changes and a quarter of respondents answered, “we don’t know.”

Bottom Line: How Can Dynamics 365 Improve Your Business?
Switching to a new business management system is a big decision for any organization. The time taken to evaluate systems, migrate data, and train employees interrupt regular business. All this effort needs to be worth the time and frayed nerves.
Download: But Really…What is Microsoft Dynamics 365?
How can Dynamics 365 improve the day-to-day operation of your business as well as the long-term results? For most organizations, moving to a modern, cloud-based business management solution delivers the most impact in three main categories:
- Automated processes and workflows
- Cross-department data and process flow
- Centralized data management
Through automated processes, the most common tasks, such as creating invoices and purchase orders are done efficiently and with fewer errors. Invoices that are correct and go out faster mean you get paid more quickly.
Removing the barriers between departments also creates efficiencies to move a product order through manufacturing, turn a sales order into a shipment, and send the invoice for a service call. The digital flow of business processes reduces the miscommunication, lag times, and workarounds that plague most organizations.
Centralized data management is the key to unlock the digital transformation that everyone talks about these days. When you control the data flowing in, through, and out of your business, you really can transform operations. You can deliver personalized information, predict customer behavior, optimize inventory, and much more.

James and his SpringHill Entertainment partner, Maverick Carter, will produce. Spencer Beighley and Jamal Henderson will oversee for SpringHill. Michael Parets and Andrew Schneider will oversee for Free Association.
SpringHill has been active recently in setting up a strong slate, and New Line has been particularly interested in its material, as the two are currently working on a “House Party” reboot. SpringHill also recently sold a pitch to Legendary called “Hustle,” and is also exec producing the Netflix limited series “On Her Own Ground” starring Octavia Spencer.
SpringHill is repped by WME and Ziffren Brittenham.
Carter previously sold the pitch “The Gun Show” to Paramount with Michael Bay producing. He is also writing/creating and executive producing his first series “The Paperhanger” at ABC Signature, based on the acclaimed William Gay short story, with Ben Younger attached to direct. Carter is repped by UTA, Echo Lake, and Gang Tyre Ramer Brown & Passman.
Free Association, who is repped by UTA and Management 360, produced the “21 Jump Street” and “Magic Mike” franchises. Most recently, the company has produced “Logan Lucky” and the Amazon series “Comrade Detective.”

On This Day In Comedy… In 1990 ‘House Party’ Was Released By New Line Cinemas

On this day in comedy on March 9, 1990, House Party was released by New Line Cinema
Written and directed by Harvard alumni, Reginald Hudlin and based on his award-winning student film, House Party stars rappers, Kid and Play as two buddies out for a good time. That prospect becomes reality when Play announces his parents are leaving for a while and he’s going to throw a party at the house. His friend Bilal (Martin Lawrence) will be the DJ and the only thing that can stop them is Kid’s Pops (Robin Harris), who has banned him from going out and being a parent himself he just might make trouble. The only other thing is a threesome of thugs out to get Kid which is definitely trouble.
Well, Kid gets past his Pops and sneaks out. Then he gets past the thugs, who don’t get past the cops and get arrested several times while trying to get Kid, who is busy avoiding all manners of obstacles to get to the party. When he finally makes it there it’s crackin. After showing off his dance moves with Play, Kid hooks up with Sharane (A. J. Johnson), but really wants to be with Sydney (Tisha Campbell). As in most movies the love situation works itself out so well that Kid and Campbell are about to have sex, but his condom is too old and besides he’s got to get going. Campbell’s parents come home and Kid is back on the streets running to avoid trouble. Too late. The cops catch him and throw him in jail. His friends bail him out and he sneaks into his house just in time for Pops to catch him and whoop his butt with a belt.
House Party is a comedy classic. Besides great music provided by Marcus Miller and Lenny White, the film was a critical and box office success. On a budget of $ 2.5 million the film grossed $ 26,385,627. It spawned four sequels (two theatrical, two straight to DVD) and the soundtrack released on Motown Records was also a hit reaching #20 on the Top R&B/ Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Produced by Reginald’s brother, Warrington Hudlin and partner, Gerald T. Olsen, House Party featured the talents of Paul Anthony, Bow-Legged Lou and B-Fine (from Full Force), Darryl “Chill” Mitchell, Kelly Jo Minter, BeBe Drake, George Clinton and John Witherspoon.
House Party was the last film appearance of pivotal and influential standup comedian, Robin Harris, who passed away nine days after its release.

I want to highlight the two regions separated by the straight line, such that they look nice and distinct.
