Don't guess. Cut before you rate unless you're sure it's
a remake.
If it's not a dxf and you can't use it then don't rate it. It's here for the people who
use that format.
Compress all your sink drawings to a zipfile and send them to me at:

The team here at silicatewastes.com would like to remind everyone that
washing your hands in sinks gets rid of viruses, unlike when you
download sinks above and get viruses. It's the ultimate
irony.

The San Diego Campaign Finance Dashboard is being developed by volunteers in a non-partisan coalition as a service to our community. Data has been gathered from public records posted by the City of San Diego Electronic Filing System in order to create the graphs and summaries for each candidate’s campaign.


IRA Interferometer Window
The IRA Continuum window is used to show a stripchart-like display of incoming values from the two-port (East X West) correlation function. The plot shows correlation intensities in the Y axis, and time in the X axis.
Gain
This control sets the post-correlation gain of samples shown in the display.
Span
This slider control sets the total span (-minimum to +maximum) of the current interferometer stripchart display.
Create Postscript
This pushbutton control allows you to make a postscript file of the current stripchart display. It will pop-up a file-browser to allow you to select a filename and directory for the resulting PostScript file.
DISMISS
This button control causes the IRA Interferometer window to close. Even though the window is closed, new data are continuously added to the stripchart. The window may be brought back by using the corresponding “Show” button in the IRA Control window, in the Continuum area.
LMST Fields
There are 2 fields above the stripchart that show the approximate LMST that corresponds to that X position on the strip chart.

Xylella Fastidiosa is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to Xylella genus, that colonizes the xylem vessels of its host. In this work we used a Multi Agent System approach to replicate the spreading of the disease. Furthermore we analyze results from a network perspective: through this approach we try to understand the underlying structure of the epidemic process and to propose targeted strategies.

Check it outThe aim of this work is to analyze the behavior of trading agents in a simple stock market in which benchmarks for risk exposure (in our case an index that estimates volatility) are manipulated. The idea comes from recent events: at the beginning of February 2018, large fluctuations of the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), whose aim is to estimate the implied volatility of S&P500 stocks, caused a flash-crash in the US stock market.
Check it outThe Ising model is one of the most famous model in statistical physics. It describes the ferromagnetic properties of materials by assigning to each site of the lattice a discrete attribute ("spin") that can assume only two possible values. In this project, I apply the Metropolis Hastings algorithm to create a simulation that shows the precise dependence by temperature of the equilibrium of the model: in fact, the 2D Ising lattice shows spontaneous phase transition.

Social networking, identity and privacy have been at the center of how we interact with the Web in the last decade. The explosion of social networking sites has brought the world closer together as well as created new points of pain regarding ease of use and the Web. Remembering login details, passwords, and sharing private information across the many websites and social groups that we are a part of has become more difficult and complicated than necessary. The Social Web is designed to ensure that control of identity and privacy settings is always simple and under one's control. WebID is a key enabler of the Social Web. This specification outlines a simple universal identification mechanism that is distributed, openly extensible, improves privacy, security and control over how one can identify themselves and control access to their information on the Web.
There are a number of concepts that are covered in this document that the reader may want to be aware of before continuing. General knowledge of public key cryptography and RDF [ RDF-PRIMER ] and RDFa [ RDFA-CORE ] is necessary to understand how to implement this specification. WebID uses a number of specific technologies like HTTP over TLS [ HTTP-TLS ], X.509 certificates [ X509V3 ], RDF/XML [ RDF-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR ] and XHTML+RDFa [ XHTML-RDFA ].
A general Introduction is provided for all that would like to understand why this specification is necessary to simplify usage of the Web.
The terms used throughout this specification are listed in the section titled Terminology .
Developers that are interested in implementing this specification will be most interested in the sections titled Authentication Sequence and Authentication Sequence Details .
This document is merely a public working draft of a potential specification. It has no official standing of any kind and does not represent the support or consensus of any standards organisation.
The source code for this document is available via Github at the followingThis section is non-normative.
The WebID specification is designed to help alleviate the difficultly that remembering different logins, passwords and settings for websites has created. It is also designed to provide a universal and extensible mechanism to express public and private information about yourself. This section outlines the motivation behind the specification and the relationship to other similar specifications that are in active use today.
This section is non-normative.
It is a fundamental design criteria of the Web to enable individuals and organizations to control how they interact with the rest of society. This includes how one expresses their identity, public information and personal details to social networks, Web sites and services.
Semantic Web vocabularies such as Friend-of-a-Friend (FOAF) permit distributed hyperlinked social networks to exist. This vocabulary, along with other vocabularies, allow one to add information and services protection to distributed social networks.
One
major
criticism
of
open
networks
is
that
they
seem
to
have
no
way
of
protecting
the
personal
information
distributed
on
the
web
or
limiting
access
to
resources.
Few
people
are
willing
to
make
all
their
personal
information
public,
many
would
like
large
pieces
to
be
protected,
making
it
available
only
to
a
select
selected
group
of
agents.
Giving
access
to
information
is
very
similar
to
giving
access
to
services.
There
are
many
occasions
when
people
would
like
services
to
only
be
accessible
to
members
of
a
group,
such
as
allowing
only
friends,
family
members,
colleagues
to
post
an
article,
photo
or
comment
on
a
blog.
How
does
one
do
this
in
a
flexible
way,
without
requiring
a
central
point
of
access
control?
Using
an
a
process
made
popular
by
OpenID,
we
show
how
one
can

to

by
proving
that
one
has
write
access
to
the
URL.

WebID
is
a
simpler
alternative
to
OpenID
(fewer
connections),
that
an
authentication
protocol
which
uses
X.509
certificates
to
tie
associate
a
User
Agent
(Browser)
to
a
Person
identified
via
a
URL.
URI.
WebID
also
is
compatible
with
OpenID
and
provides
a
few
additional
features
to
OpenID.
These
features
include
such
as
trust
management,
management
via
digital
signatures,
and
free-form
extensibility

By
using
the

mechanism,
WebID
integrates
more
smoothly

The document can publish many more relations than are of interest to the WebID protocol, as shown in the above graph by the grayed out relations.
The encoding of this graph is immaterial to the protocol, so long as a well known mapping to the format of the representation to such a graph can be found. Below we discuss the most well known formats, and a method for dealing with new unknown formats as they come along.
The WebID provider must publish the graph of relations in one of the well known formats, though he may publish it in a number of formats to increase the useabulity of his site using Content Negotations.
Add content negoatiation pointers
It is particularly useful to have one of the representations be in HTML or XHTML even if it is not marked up in RDFa as this allows people using a web browser to understand what the information at that URI represents.
A widely used format for writing RDF graphs is the Turtle notation.

If a WebId provider would rather prefer not to mark up his data in RDFa, but just provide a human readable format for users and have the RDF graph appear in a machine readable format such as RDF/XML then he should publish the link from the HTML to the machine readable format as follows:
  <link type="rel" type="application/rdf+xml" href="profile.rdf"/>   ...
RDF/XML is easy to generate automatically from structured data, be it in object notiation or in relational databases. Parsers for it are also widely available.

The above requires the graph to be able to do inferencing on dataytypes. This is because people may publish their modulus string in a number of syntactical ways. The modulus can be colon seperated, spread over a number of lines, or contain arbitrary non hex characters such as "9D ☮ 79 ☮ BF ☮ E2 ☮ F4 ☮ 98 ☮..." . The datatype itself need not necessarily be expressed in cert:hex, but could use a number of xsd integer datatype notations, cert:int or future base64 notations.
Should we define the base64 notation?

United joins Southwest, American in new 737 MAX delay
United Airlines said Friday it pushed back its expected date for Boeing's 737 MAX aircraft to return to service, following similar announcements by rivals Southwest and American Airlines.
The US air carrier now says it expects flights to resume on March 4, 2020, two months later than a previous estimate, implying the cancellation of thousands of scheduled flights.
The top-selling Boeing jets have been grounded since March of this year following the second of two crashes which left 346 people dead.
Boeing has faced stumbling blocks in its efforts to win global regulators' approval for proposed fixes to the aircraft and get the planes flying again.
In statement, United said it was working to minimize disruptions for the flying public, rescheduling flights or making other offers.
"We have cooperated fully with the FAA's independent review of the MAX aircraft, and we won't put our customers and employees on that plane until regulators make their own independent assessment that it is safe to do so," it said.
Boeing says it hopes to get regulatory approval for a return to service before the end of this year but has delayed its estimate for the resumption of commercial flights until January, to allow for changes to pilot training.
Southwest, the world's biggest buyer of 737 MAX jets, with 34 of them in its fleet at the time of the grounding in March, said earlier this month it now expects a return to service on March 6, 2020.
American Airlines, which purchased 24 of the jets, said it expected its 737 MAX jets to fly again on March 5.
The Southwest pilots union on Wednesday denounced what it said was Boeing's pressure on regulators to speed up authorization for the 737 MAX's return to service.
"Boeing is increasingly publicizing that they may have to shut down their production line due to running out of room to store completed MAX aircraft," the statement said.
"There is some concern that this is simply another tactic" to speed up the return to service and push some costs back on to operators, it added.
"Boeing will never, and should not ever, be given the benefit of the doubt again. The combination of arrogance, ignorance, and greed should and will haunt Boeing for eternity."


I’ve been having a bit of a play with REST and WCF lately, in the past I’ve done this with WebAPI, however given this is still BETA software I wasn’t able to use it in my current project. When I went back to basic WCF with REST I had a few issues creating a working sample, it’s quite fiddly so I thought I would post the example.
The first thing you need is a contract, here’s mine:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IHelloService
{
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "Hello/{name}", Method = "GET")]
string Hello(string name);
}
As with all WCF stuff you need your service and operation contracts, in addition for rest you need to use WebInvoke to tell it about the URL and Method you are using, fairly straight forward.
Then a concrete implementation of the contract like this:
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(
RequirementsMode=AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)]
public class HelloService : IHelloService
{
public string Hello(string name)
{
return String.Format("Hello {0} how are you?", name);
}
}
Note the AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode header. Unfortunately you seem to need this in both the Service definition and the web.config, which is a bit silly IMO.
<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
Then the route binding for the service in your Global.ascx
private void RegisterRoutes()
{
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("/hello-service",
new WebServiceHostFactory(), typeof(HelloService)));
}
This looks pretty simple but what’s important is that you use a derivative of WebServiceHostFactory, if you use a derivative of the older ServiceHostFactory, you won’t get a nice error you will just get a blank page via the browser.
This is all you really need for the host component of the service
To consume the service you can use the following ChannelFactory style.
using (ChannelFactory<IHelloService> factory = new ChannelFactory<IHelloService>(
new WebHttpBinding(), "http://localhost:64373/hello-service"))
{
factory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new WebHttpBehavior());
var helloService = factory.CreateChannel();
helloService.Hello("Luke");
}
This is similar to how you would normally consume a WCF service but with a few important differences
- You must use a WebHttpBinding derivative or you will get a SOAP exception similar to the following:
There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:64373/ that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
- You must add the WebHttpBehavior to the endpoint, I found this quite counter intuitive. If you don’t you will get an error similar to the following:

Hello there! We are a group of Palestinian and Israeli teenagers in a program called MEET. We have been studying computer science and business management for 3 years now, and we've decided that it's finally time for us to create our own project.
So after many debates and a lot of Toffi, we have decided to devote our project to stereotypes and most importantly-BREAKING them! So we invite you to share with us your OWN stories (either real or made up) that take us a step closer to our vision- A world where society defies social expectations.


Kenya's ex-President Daniel Arap Moi 'building up energy' before he is discharged from hospital
by Daily NationIn Summary
Mzee Moi's press secretary Mr Lee Njiru, in a statement on Monday said the former head of State was making "good progress" and would be home before December.
Former president Daniel arap Moi’s is recovering steadily at the Nairobi Hospital, where he has been admitted for more than a month now, his press secretary has said.
Mzee Moi's press secretary Mr Lee Njiru, in a statement on Monday said the former head of State was making "good progress" and would be home before December.
“Mzee Moi, who is being attended to by a team of medics led by his physician Dr David Silverstein has recovered. But because of his old age, his doctors feel he should build up his energy before he can be discharged. His medical team is being extra cautious with his care to ensure full recovery,” stated Mr Njiru.
He said the retired president is doing well and thanked Kenyans for their prayers.
“Since Mzee Moi was readmitted to the hospital, he is getting better each day and we are confident God is taking care of him because of Kenyans’ prayers. We are very hopeful that in the next few days, he will be discharged to return to the care and comfort of his home,” he said.
He, however, added that the doctors are yet to decide on the date of discharge.

ADMISSION
Mzee Moi was readmitted to the facility's VIP wing on November 9, just two days after he had been discharged.
The former President has been taken to hospital several times in the last two months.
He first checked in at the hospital, on October 12, to undergo what family sources said were routine medical check-ups. He was discharged and readmitted two weeks later on October 28.
He left hospital on November 7 and was checked-in again two days later.
On November 15, President Uhuru Kenyatta, a protégé of Mr Moi, visited him at the hospital where the two had a 'lengthy cheerful chat'.
Mzee Moi ruled Kenya for 24 years, from 1978 after the death of founding President Jomo Kenyatta to 2002.
The former president celebrated his 95th birthday on September 2.

Strictly host Claudia Winkleman reveals dirty habit which she claims makes her have 'better dreams'
This will horrify many beauty experts
by Rebecca CarterClaudia Winkleman, a host on Strictly Come Dancing, has revealed the dirty habit she has which she claims makes her have "better dreams".
In a new interview, the star, 47, said she goes to bed with her makeup on and then gets up and does the school run.
Claudia also joked she believes her signature fringe is the only thing keeping her in work.

Speaking about her habit of not taking off her makeup, Claudia told the Mirror: "I go to bed with my make-up on - it makes me have better dreams. Then I wake up, do the school run, have a nap, then I'll shower and take my make-up off."
She added that with her hair she doesn't even dry it and if she's "pushing the boat out I might brush my fringe".
Going on to joke about her iconic hairdo, Claudia said: "I think it's the only reason I get work. I'm sure TV producers go, 'Who's the one with the fringe? We'll have her.'"
The star also revealed she learnt a few beauty tips from her mother.
Claudia added: "Like me, my mum loves an orange glow, so I remember her swirling huge brushes of orange over her face and thinking it was the most glamorous thing ever."
Last year, the presenter revealed she will never cut her famous fringe as she's had it for the past 15 to 16 years.
She told Hello! magazine: "I haven't seen my forehead for about 15 years. I don't even know what's under my fringe - there could be squirrels, parrots - I've got no idea.
"But no I can't imagine ever getting rid of it."
Claudia is currently hosting the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing with Tess Daly.

She joked that she would bring Karim and Amy Dowden back a "stick of rock" from Blackpool if they were eliminated that week after he became emotional following a mistake in his performance.
After it was revealed that Karim and Amy had made it through on Sunday's results show, Claudia told him: "First of all I'm really sorry about the rock joke, I was just trying to make you laugh but I felt so bad."
Karim told her: "You did make me laugh, don't be sorry, I wasn't upset, I was just disappointed about my dance but I love you for that, you know I love you."

Fiona Bruce's reality TV hell and why she took on Jeremy Clarkson over bum comment
The Question Time and Antiques Roadshow host will oversee tonight's leaders' debate between Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn, Jo Swinson and Nicola Sturgeon
by Jane Lavender, https://www.facebook.com/dailymirror/As the host of Question Time and regular face of both the News at Six and the News at 10, Fiona Bruce is one of the nation's most respected news readers.
For more than 20 years she has also hosted Antiques Roadshow - and now she will take on a special Question Time Leaders' special tonight.
She will be responsible for marshalling Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn, Jo Swinson and Nicola Sturgeon at 7pm on BBC One.
Each leader will take on questions from the live studio audience over the two hour debate and each will be allocated 30 minutes.
It's just three days since Tory leader Boris and Labour leader Jeremy went head-to-head on ITV and emotions are certain to be running high.
After taking over from David Dimbleby as the presenter of Question Time in January this year, Fiona Bruce's cool head will be vital in keeping the leaders in check.
And while she is one of the most famous women in the country, Bruce has refused to take part in reality TV following a disatrous experience in 2006.
She appeared on the BBC's Just The Two Of Us - and has sworn off reality TV for life.
Fiona was partnered with Alexander O'Neal on the show, which was hosted by husband and wife team Tess Daly and Vernon Kay.
Following her appearance she vowed "never again" and has turned down every other offer to take part in further reality TV.
It didn't stop her from appearing on Top Gear twice - and taking on Jeremy Clarkson when he made a comment about her "nice bum".
Fiona was a fierce campaigner for women's rights when she was a student at Oxford University.
She ran women's groups and ever camped at Greenham Common, a peace camp to protest against nuclear weapons.
But when she appeared on Top Gear in 2007, Fiojna shared a lift with Clarkson and had to push him out when he got stuck on a Peel P50.
As she was walking away, Clarkson said - without her being aware - "she has got quite a nice bottom, I said that out loud, didn't I?"
Returning to the series the following year, along with Kate Silverton in the segment Star in a Reasonably Sized Car, she got her own back at the presenter, who was later sacked from the show.
She slapped Clarkson's bottom and added that it "needs a bit of work".
And that wasn't all - Fions stands in for Clarkson in his Sunday Times car review colum and has described it as the ultimate revenge for what he said about her.
She said: "Perching my bottom, nice or otherwise, on his patch."
In 2010 she was awarded the Rear Of The Year, which she described as "demeaning".
However, she insists her feminist credentials are still as key now, albeit changed.
Fiona told The Guardian: "There are certainly things I would have done differently then to how how I do them now.
That's why I talk about feminism being a spectrum."
Fiona is married to Nigel Sharrocks and the couple have a son, Sam, and daughter, Mia Rose.


I’ve applied for a handful of academic jobs in the past six months, as many tenure track faculty positions as I could imagine fitting my experiences and skills. In the present higher-education-during-COVID-19 reality, that has amounted to six jobs to apply to (with hopefully more posted in the coming weeks). Three of those I applied to have since been removed from consideration by university-wide hiring freezes.
Work is hard to come by nearly everywhere these days, giving me cause to pause and reflect on my professional journey to date. I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what comes next after I defend my dissertation and graduate in the coming months, perhaps three, certainly no more than nine months.
My Work
As I reflect on my career arc, I characterize my work in one summary statement: I lead communities for the common good into the future. I explain what I mean in the following sections.
Leading
I lead in a variety of ways. I generally consider my leading to be teaching, and my teaching to be leading. I also lead by developing research to advance general understanding of a topic. And I lead in an entrepreneurial sense, forming teams and helping them advance toward a goal. In each of these areas, my primary leadership goal is to increase the agency of those I work with.
Communities
I study, and have increased general understanding of, groups of people in a variety of ways. I have framed my research in terms of affinity spaces, learning networks, and communities of practice. I have engaged in best practices of online teaching and learning. And I have established virtual teams and built distributed organizations.
For the Common Good
I produce not just solutions to problems, but generalizable knowledge that may help others with similar problems in their own distinct contexts. In addition to sharing this knowledge, I share the process. I conduct my work following the principles of open science, such as making my datasets and coding scripts publicly available whenever possible. The values of diversity, equity, and inclusion shape all the work I do.
Into the Future
My vision of the future is neither utopian nor dystopian. I do not believe technology will save humanity nor destroy us. Instead, I believe what we do with technology matters. We should not simply try to replicate traditional approaches online or with technological support. New modalities require their own consideration. We should lead with asking why, clearly defining the problems we intend to solve. This means understanding our users, their contexts, and larger societal and systemic realities.
My Skills
The big four:
- Connecting (with) people. I’m best at connecting with people and connecting them with each other.
- Asking great questions. My natural curiosity helps with this, but my PhD journey really honed this skill.
- Building (online) communities. I’ve been bringing people together online accidentally for as long as I can remember, intentionally for a decade, and in partnership with rigorous research for the past five years.
- Fostering agency. My first role as a leader is to affirm and strengthen the agency of everyone around me. I invite them to co-create with me, I help them self-reflect, and I guide them toward asking better questions.
A second four:
- Writing compelling arguments. Another skill greatly refined by my PhD program.
- Project management. This stems back to an innate need to order the world around me and a practiced attention to detail.
- Public speaking. This has come from many years of practice and literally hundreds of public speaking engagements.
- Data science. I am largely self-taught, partnered with Coursera courses and generous research collaborators. I have worked through big data methods on numerous projects now. I specialize in R.
My Experiences
Founder
Some years ago I was the Founding National Director of a startup called Ministry in Digital Spaces. Simply put, I was aiming to define a new way to be church. We were tasked with building online communities of undergraduate students from across the United States. So, I did my homework. I called more than a hundred leaders in tech. I hosted a half dozen think tanks with industry experts. I went to events like Game Developers Conference (GDC) in 2016 to join and learn from conversations about online communities. I formed an advisory board, hired a team, recruited volunteers, and launched more than 50 pilot projects.
We built what we set out to build, but our funding was cut. I grew frustrated with the organizational mindset and decided to double down on learning more, choosing in 2017 to focus full-time on pursuing a PhD to better understand online communities.
Researcher
My research investigates the networked learning made possible by the novel social and environmental conditions afforded by the Internet. Specifically, I explore how social media platforms support online learning communities.
In my dissertation, I have focused on new teachers during their transition from preparation to practice. New teachers navigate an “edu-verse” made up undergraduate preparation programs, school of employment, district, family and friends, and social media. New teachers today are figuring out what and how to teach while juggling many voices and seeking support from many quarters.
I’ve also worked on dozens of other research projects, publishing this work in peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers. I’ve frequently presented my research to audiences of experts and facilitated workshops on the methods I use. I also teach educational professionals how to teach online and thoughtfully use technology in their teaching.
Executive Coach
As I entered the final stages of writing my dissertation, and as the U.S. struggled through dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racism, an old friend from my Ministry in Digital Spaces advisory board called me. He asked me to coach him as he tried to build and scale the organization Black in Gaming. I’ve since helped him, and the rest of the Executive Team, clarify the purpose and goals of the organization, make decisions about bringing the right people into the team, onboard a dozen new leaders, and accomplish all this during a pandemic with a team geographically dispersed across the U.S.
My Interests
To put it simply: when it comes to what’s next, I’m open. By this, I mean both that I’m curious (generally), and I’m currently looking for a job (specifically). There are three things I’d like to make sure I’m doing in this next adventure:
- Leading a community. This could involve teaching a class, supervising a lab or team, or building an organization from the ground up.
- Producing generalizable knowledge. I don’t want to just solve problems for myself or my team. I want share what we learn in the process.
- Analyzing big data. I’ve worked hard to develop technical skills, and I love putting these mental muscles to work.

Amphetamines are a wonderful and awful drug at the same time. My experience of taking it left me with mixed feelings.
I took 60 mg of dexedrine pills. at around 6:30 p.m. I was going to a bonfire dance where everyone got drunk and blazed, but I had something else is mind. speed. 15-20 minutes after I took the pills, I was watching TV with my friend at home before we went to the dance. I was just relaxing on the couch when I noticed that I felt really good just sitting there, relaxing, chilling, I felt like I was the shit, just real cool and relaxed. I got a feeling of 'well-being' like everyvody says. I was thinking about the dance the whole time and geting really excited about it.
We got to the dance at 7:30 and I was just hanging outside with a bunch of friends. I was real happy and excited to talk to them, i felt real confident talking to them and it was cool. After about 15 minutes, we went it and started dancing. The memory of me dancing and just feeling the music is really great.
I think speed left me remembering and really appreciating the music and the dancing. I was also able to talk to many people comfortable and lots of girls too. It felt realy good to just chill with girls and have this confidence come out of nowhere. Throughout the whole dance I had drymouth and My legs were shaking. I just wanted to dance. When the bonfire was lit around 11:00, people were hanging out and drinking and celebrating. I was extremly social and having so much fun talking to everyone. Watching the fire too was wicked cool.
I went home around 11:45 and I could tell that the fun effects were gone, I was left with insomnia and jaw clenching. I COULD NOT GO TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT. it just would not happen. Also I didn't clench my jaw on purpose, it's just that I couldn't stop biting my jaw to a beat of a song. I would do it for a minute then realize I was clenching my jaw and I would stop. But then a minute later, I would somehow forget and let the beat take over my jaw and I would be biting again. IT was wierd. I was exausted for the next 2 days or so. It wasn't like a hangover.  I just had some fatigue and I didn't feel like doing anything active, just sitting at home watching tv, doin nothing. It took a toll on my body, not being hungry and being tired after and not sleeping one night, but looking back on all the fun I had, I would do it again, not too often, but for the right occasions.

We’d planned to spend the day together – comforting as her mom had passed away the week before. A few minutes after we arrived at her hotel room, my little brother called. My dad had died suddenly that morning. I am struggling to write out my thoughts about him – our relationship had been strained to the point of breaking in recent years. And now my brother and I are in Casper, trying to resolve what looks to be a very messy – legally, emotionally – estate. I’m looking at my calendar for the rest of July, a month I’d set aside to finish Teaching Machines. And I’m just not sure what I will be able to accomplish for a while.


To benchmark the numerical code, I set the proﬁle of P and g according to Eqs. (508) and (509) with the parameters c2 = 0, c1 = B0(κ02 + 1)∕(R02κ0q0), κ0 = 1.5, and q0 = 1.5. The comparison of the analytic and numerical results are shown in Fig. 31.
Note that the parameter c0 in the Solovev equilibrium seems to be not needed in the numerical calculation. In fact this impression is wrong: the c0 parameter is actually needed in determining the boundary magnetic surface of the numerical equilibrium (in the case considered here c0 is chosen as c0 = B0∕(R02κ0q0)).

As a mathematics professor interested in parameter estimation, smoothing of data and data assimilation, my interest in data science was unavoidable. I found myself working on problems where I needed to estimate or predict the state of nonlinear stochastic systems from noisy data in my research. My experience as an assistant professor also helped me develop my communications skills with working directly with students and makes me well prepared to explain complex concepts to a variety of audiences.
The way that I approach data problems is very much informed by my past experiences. Because of my extensive quantitative background, I understand that defining the question and the approach to creating insight stems from getting the data into an useable format. I am committed to the value of rigorous analysis around organizational data, and to the importance making optimal use of the data. I want to continue building products that put my hard-won insights into use and make a real difference.
In this project, I looked at the Airbnb Data for the city of Seattle in 2014. Using Random Forest Classifier, was able to identify features in the data that were important to make a prediction about the availability of Airbnb Listings. This was achieved using Gradient Boosting. More details about my process and results can be found at the project's repo .
Close ProjectIn this project, I looked at the data that contained song lyrics. The goal of this project was to be able to predict an artist name given song lyrics. Using a tf-idf vectorizer I was able to create features and achieved the stated goal using Stochastic Gradient Descent. More details about my process and results can be found at the project's repo .
Close ProjectIn this project, I looked at Data that mostly contained news articles relating to the 2016 US Elections. Using a vectorizer on the articles titles and contents and latent semantic analysis, I was able to clusters the articles into different topics to be able to predict an article topic based on its content. This was achieved using Stochastic Gradient Descent. More details about my process and results can be found at the project's repo .

Simple capillary alcohol stove from 375 ml coke can
It only takes about 10 min to make a stove that burns methylated spirits from a coke can.
Instructions
There are several variations but I wanted to use a standard 375 ml can, the stove be operable without an additional stand and for it to be as simple as possible. The stove below is based on a video linked at the end of this post. While I used a number of tools, you can get by with just a can and multitool with knife, scissors and awl.
First score the top of the can as shown, keep doing it until you can break through and neatly cut off the top of the can. Smooth the sharp edges with a file.
Using a marker a line around the circumference of the can 5 cm (2 inches) from the bottom, and another 5.7 cm (2 1/4 inches) from the top.
Drill hole to start the cut and cut out the top and bottom. Try to leave a piece of full width of the waste strip which we will use later as a shim.
Using a marker. make 12 marks evenly around the can.
Using needle nose pliers, make a small fold along each of the 12 marks. This creates a channel for the gas to flow from the bottom of the can.
At the top of each fold, make an indentation. This will be the jets of the stove.
Make an air vent near the top which prevents the fuel from overflowing.
This is the hardest part. Push the top all the way down onto the bottom. I found that using the shim saved from the waste made the job easier.
Don’t use anything more volatile than alcohol as it may be dangerous. Put a little methylated spirits (Heet in the USA) in tbe bottom of the stove (about a quarter full will boil 500 ml of water) and light. Flames should come out of the jets after about 15 seconds. A nice blue flame indicates good combustion which should not leave soot on the pot. Yellow would indicate insufficient oxygen.
Extinguish using an old tuna can.
Here is an earlier one I made with bigger jets. The tuna can makes a good base but you can’t use it to extinguish in that case.

This youtube video shows the process.

The hotel's carpark is shared with Millenia Walk. Conrad Centennial shares the same laundry services with sister hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore. Both hotels are owned by the same owner, Pontiac Land (owned by the Kwee brothers).
Damenlou Hotel is a small hotel located at Ann Siang Road, in Chinatown, within the Central Area of Singapore.Damenlou Hotel's origins can be traced to the creation of the dish of fishhead mifen (rice vermicelli), which was invented by Tang Kwong Swee in the 1920s. The hotel had a famous restaurant, named Swee Kee.
The hotel has 747 guestrooms and suites spread over the Tower Wing, Garden Wing and Valley Wing, 127 serviced apartments and 55 luxurious condominium units.

Continuous thinking: Essay: the duality of knowledge
Introduction.
Everybody loves experts, at least I know I do! I love being able to toss almost every single question or problem to one or more experts in order to gain new insights and understandings.
In most cases, your knowledge network really grows exponentially as you age. Knowledge networks should be cherished and nurtured, as they will allow you to accelerate your personal knowledge growth in an exponential rate.
But, there is a catch: can you remember the last time you disagreed with an expert ?
There is an common acronym on the internet: "KIP", which is short for "Knowledge is power" - it is also the Dutch word for "chicken", but that is completely irrelevant in this essay - . In most cases, I tend to agree, but in some I do not... Here is an explanation:
The duality of knowledge, it is all about the dots...
Fact: Knowledge is power, but it can also hold you back.
What was the last time you woke up with an answer to a problem you had been trying to solve the day before ? Why are we able to see a (usually straightforward) solution after a good night of sleep ? In my experience problem solving is about connecting the dots. You start with an initial path, and you grow this path until you find a viable solution. You choose these paths based on what you learned in previous similar situations.
That is in fact the essence of our brain, you can consider it a huge amount of dots with a lot of paths between them; some are very wide highways, and some are just very tiny paths, who merely exist. As we take a path more and more, it grows and expands naturally, so we are inclined to take this route even more.
Sometimes you start of with the wrong dots, and are unable to reach your final destination on your problem solving path. Ideas usually evolve quite naturally, like in a genetic algorithm, but the problem is solutions converge slowly or in a wrong direction if you started with the wrong ancestors.
I like to consider a good night of sleep a simple way to change those ancestors, which enables you to get started with a completely new path.
Dr. Evil and your guardian angel can alter your path.
As a person, we are what we experience. In our brains, associations between neurons (the dots) grow stronger as we experience something. This is why experiments like Pavlov's dog are possible. We are actually conditioned to make associations more and more as we experience them...
Now, think about cause and consequence. What if we turn this reasoning around ? Can we change the way we think ?
"Yes we can!" - Barack Obama
Yes, we can change the way we think, there is a thing we call NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) which does exactly that. By choice of words one can actually influence your own brain paths, or the path of a person we are talking to. There is a vast amount of literature available on this subject, and I urge you to take a look at it. It will help you to develop a metacognition (i.e. think about what and how you think), which will allow you to grow as a person.
NLP is a powerful technique; cult leaders and hard sellers are employing these all the time to get what they want. But you should not consider this a pure "Dr. Evil" approach, as there are multiple usages for a hammer.
All this "Blah", and I still do not have a clue why knowledge has a duality to it ?
We are conditioned to connect the dots in a certain way. The fact that mankind is able to do (almost) impossible things, is because of this knowledge, the accumulation of experience. Knowledge transfer is making the group bigger than the sum of its individual parts. But sometimes it does not...
Here is a quote which I love a lot, which covers the essence of this essay:
“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.” - Henry Ford
Think about it! A lot of the progress mankind made was due to the fact that those great thinkers questioned the existing knowledge, and were able to connect the dots in a way nobody had ever been able to connect the dots before...
Knowledge as a restriction... also known as "the conventional approach".
In most cases knowledge is a big advantage, in fact, I would even say a huge advantage. However, there are also numerous amounts of opportunities where we choose a wrong or less efficient solution to a problem, simple because we are conditioned to do so.
This is why you can usually see conflicts emerge between a junior and a senior; the senior has acquired a lot of experience in a certain field, so he knows the pitfalls and best ways to provide a solution to a problem, so he tries to teach a junior a conventional way to approach a problem. A junior however, usually need to make these faults on his/her own in order to realize why things are done according to a certain convention.
However, sometimes the junior finds a new path. This is exactly where great new insights are born. All of a sudden a junior connects the dots in a different way, and "BOOM !!", we gain a new insight.
So while convention is good in most of the cases, in order to make progress we actually need to change those conventions.
A few simple examples:
- most consultants will only suggest the solutions they know or favor
- thinking out of the box usually helps you to be really successful in business
A recent example: software architecture.
One of the main contexts where you can apply this concept all the time, is in software architecture.
There are usually two opposites in this context:
- The extreme architect: he wants to have the architecture of the application completely abstracted from the domain (=business logic)
- The extreme pragmatic: he just wants to be as efficient as possible, i.e. every single line written should have maximum business value
Conclusion
Knowledge is important; cherish it and nurture it. But always keep in mind that the conventional path might not always be the best one. Sometimes an alternative point of view can help you to put things in a new perspective.
(In fact, my consultancy model is based on the exact opposite, so if you need a new point of view for your business, just contact me.)
Finally, here is another one of my favorite quotes:
"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones." - John Cage


News story
General Teaching Council for England to be scrapped
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Michael Gove comments on the decision to abolish the General Teaching Council for England (GTCE).
Commenting on the decision, Michael Gove said:
This government trusts the professionals. That’s why we want to give teachers greater freedoms and reduce unnecessary bureaucracy. Since I have been shadowing education and more recently held the brief in government there has been one organisation of whose purpose and benefit to teachers I am deeply sceptical - the General Teaching Council for England.
I believe this organisation does little to raise teaching standards or professionalism. Instead it simply acts as a further layer of bureaucracy while taking money away from teachers.
I want there to be stronger and clearer arrangements in relation to teacher misconduct and I am not convinced the GTCE is the right organisation to take these forward. I intend to seek authority from Parliament to abolish the General Teaching Council for England.

Kratom (spp. Kroth)
I wanted to try this plant, mainly because it has many origins in Thailand, my mother's home country. The active chemical alkaloid mitragynine is what supposedly causes the majority of its stimulating effects. Unsure of how to really go about using it, I decided to try it in a multitude of ways.
Firstly, just out of the spur of the moment, I went ahead and tried to smoke it. Terrible idea.  No effect, other than pain in my lungs, was felt from this.
Secondly, I tried doing the quid method. I found the leaves to give off a very bitter taste, to the point where I didn't want to chew them anymore. I did, however, manage to chew them for about 10 minutes. I waited, but still, no effects felt.
Finally, in an attempt to try and feel anything from the stuff, I dumped the remainder of my Kratom supply into a pot of water, and boiled it for 10 minutes. I drained the liquid which was now like tea, and I boiled the leaves again for another 10 minutes. I combined the two volumes of liquid, and boiled that down to about 1/3 the original volume. The result was a mildly dark liquid that smelled very much like normal tea. It was VERY bitter, however, and even with spoonfuls of sugar, retained its bitterness.
I drank about half of it... and waited. I started to notice a very... subtle numbness. The carpet felt very awkward; basically the nerves in my foot went somewhat numb. I felt a bit at ease - and slightly more awake than I was before. To my dismay, however, the effects weren't as powerful as I would have liked, so I downed the rest of the 'tea'. Nothing else really happened, it just seemingly prolonged the very subtle feelings.
In conclusion - Kratom doesn't really do it for me, it was an interesting experiment, but I need something a bit stronger.

First Test: Pakistan teetering at 3-64 after day three
by The New DailyFirst Test, day three, Gabba, Brisbane
First innings: Pakistan 240, Australia 580, 340 lead
Second innings Pakistan 3-64
Shaan 27, Babar 20
Australia’s Mitchell Starc has smashed through the Pakistan top order as the tourists attempt to overcome a 340-run deficit on day three of the first Test at the Gabba
In reply to Australia’s 580 Pakistan struggled in the opening overs of its second innings with Azhar Ali falling lbw to Starc for five and Sohail Haris falling caught behind for eight.
Paceman Pat Cummins then broke through when Shafiq Asad edged a catch to Steve Smith for a duck.
Pakistan ended the day at 3-64 – still 276 behind – with Shaan Asood on 27 and Babr Azam on 20.
In the morning session Pakistan had fought back after a tough day two, removing David Warner and the World’s No.1 batsman Steve Smith.
Despite those setbacks, Australia built a commanding lead over Pakistan’s first innings of 240 with Marnus Labuschagne smashing 185 and his maiden century.
Labuschagne was given out lbw on 93, but, with bat involved, immediately reviewed and it was overturned.

Labuschagne looked on course for a double century before being caught in the gully off Shaheen Shah Afridi in the quest for quick runs.
Smith was sensationally knocked over for just four runs by Yasir Shah after Warner had fallen for 154.
Smith looked in a hurry as he tried to whip a full Yasir ball behind square.
It is the seventh time in 10 innings the legspinner has dismissed the former Australian captain, who still needs 23 runs in his next five innings to become the quickest to 7000 Test runs.
Coming off a 774-run series – averaging 110.57 – against England, Smith was almost assumed to fill his boots in his return to home Test cricket after the ball tampering ban.
So there was widespread surprise when he came and went in a flash and perhaps no coincidence as Yasir celebrated with a seven-finger salute as Smith walked off.
Warner looked out of sorts after his big innings on Friday, caught behind to teenage debutante Naseem Shah.
Naseem had thought he’d snared Warner for 56 shortly after lunch at the on the second day, before the third umpire via replays ruled he had overstepped.
Resuming at 1-312, Australia moved quickly to pass 350 without loss before Warner was surprised by Naseem’s rising bouncer and featured it behind to Rizwan.
Yasir was the best of the Pakistan bowlers with 4-205.
On Friday, Warner’s 222-run partnership with Joe Burns – who was agonisingly bowled for 99 – was the pair’s fourth century stand in 10 innings together.
Warner told reporters on Friday evening that he’d put his Ashes failure behind him and had not felt any pressure as he sought to play himself back into form.
“I wasn’t out of form, I was out of runs,” Warner said. “Today I had a little bit of luck. That’s what you need in the game. Over there I didn’t have much luck at all.”
Warner said that the Cape Town ball tampering suspension had one upside, which was spending more time with his family.
To have that time off and the time to reflect, and just get away from the game … there is a lot more to life than just cricket.”
