Preparing a composite spectrum for Sculptor modeling using the SpecOneD class
In this example we will be preparing two optical and one near-infrared spectrum for further spectral modeling using the Sculptor GUI. The spectra are of the ultra-luminous quasar J2125-1719 and are published in Schindler et al. 2020.
First, we import the SpecOneD module from Sculptor and read in the three spectra from the example folder.
[1]:
from sculptor import speconed as sod
from astropy import units as u
# Read in the spectra of J2125-1719
specnir = sod.SpecOneD()
specnir.read_pypeit_fits('../../sculptor/data/example_spectra/J2125-1719_NIR.fits')
specoptA = sod.SpecOneD()
specoptA.read_from_fits('../../sculptor/data/example_spectra/J2125-1719_OPT_A.fits')
specoptB = sod.SpecOneD()
specoptB.read_from_fits('../../sculptor/data/example_spectra/J2125-1719_OPT_B.fits')
# The optical spectra will be scaled to 1e-17 erg/s/cm^2/A
specoptA.convert_spectral_units(1.*u.AA, 1e-17*u.erg/u.s/u.cm**2/u.AA)
specoptB.convert_spectral_units(1.*u.AA, 1e-17*u.erg/u.s/u.cm**2/u.AA)
We could use SpecOneD’s plot function to look at the spectra individually, but in this case we want to use matplotlib to show all spectra in one plot.
[2]:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(specnir.dispersion, specnir.fluxden, 'red')
plt.plot(specoptA.dispersion, specoptA.fluxden, 'green')
plt.plot(specoptB.dispersion, specoptB.fluxden, 'orange')
plt.ylim(0, 200)
plt.xlabel('Dispersion ({})'.format(specnir.dispersion_unit))
plt.ylabel('Flux density ({})'.format(specnir.fluxden_unit))
plt.show()
Deredden the science spectrum
According to the IRSA dust map (https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/DUST/) the quasar J2125-1719 (21h25m40.97s -17d19m51.3s Equ J2000) has a A_V=0.1606 using the Schlafly & Finkbeiner 2011 (ApJ 737, 103) Galactic dust map.
As we want use the dereddened magnitudes for absolute flux calibration, we deredden the three individual spectra before.
We demonstrate how one would use the speconed module to “deredden” the spectrum using the Fitzpatrick & Massa 2007 extinction curve. To do this speconed uses the python extinction package (https://github.com/kbarbary/extinction).
[3]:
a_v = 0.1606
r_v = 3.1
specnir = specnir.remove_extinction(a_v, r_v, extinction_law='fm07')
plt.plot(specoptA.dispersion, specoptA.fluxden,'k')
specoptA = specoptA.remove_extinction(a_v, r_v, extinction_law='fm07')
specoptB = specoptB.remove_extinction(a_v, r_v, extinction_law='fm07')
plt.plot(specoptA.dispersion, specoptA.fluxden,'r', label='Dereddened')
plt.legend()
plt.title('Example of Galactic dereddening the bluest spectrum')
plt.show()

Absolute flux calibration to broad band photometry
It is evident that the flux normalization of the three spectra does not agree with another. For a first test we will now scale the spectra according to their broad band magnitudes.
Absolute flux calibration of the near-infrared spectrum
We will start with the near-infrared spectrum, for which 2MASS magnitudes are available. In AB the magnitudes are J=16.13, H=16.14, K=16.01. We will begin by loading the 2MASS passbands.
(A range of passbands are included already with the Sculptor package in sculptor/data/passbands. The PassBand class behaves very similar to the SpecOneD class, but is mainly used for calculating magnitudes from spectra. The passbands can also be plotted like SpecOneD objects, e.g. ‘pb_Ks.plot()’)
[4]:
pb_J = sod.PassBand(passband_name='2MASS-J')
pb_H = sod.PassBand(passband_name='2MASS-H')
pb_Ks = sod.PassBand(passband_name='2MASS-Ks')
pb_Ks.plot()
As a test, let us calculate the magnitudes of the spectrum in the three 2MASS filter before flux normalization.
[5]:
J_ab_before = specnir.calculate_passband_ab_magnitude(pb_J)
H_ab_before = specnir.calculate_passband_ab_magnitude(pb_H)
Ks_ab_before = specnir.calculate_passband_ab_magnitude(pb_Ks)
print('J_AB = {:.2f}'.format(J_ab_before))
print('H_AB = {:.2f}'.format(H_ab_before))
print('Ks_AB = {:.2f}'.format(Ks_ab_before))
J_AB = 16.76
H_AB = 16.79
Ks_AB = 16.89
We choose the K-band magnitude for the flux normalization as the overlap region between the band and the spectrum is least affected by telluric features. Then we recalculate the magnitudes of the spectrum in the three 2MASS filter bands.
[6]:
Ks_ab = 16.01
J_ab = 16.13
H_ab = 16.14
nspecnir = specnir.renormalize_by_ab_magnitude(Ks_ab, pb_Ks)
J_ab_after = nspecnir.calculate_passband_ab_magnitude(pb_J)
H_ab_after = nspecnir.calculate_passband_ab_magnitude(pb_H)
Ks_ab_after = nspecnir.calculate_passband_ab_magnitude(pb_Ks)
print('J_AB = {:.2f}'.format(J_ab_after))
print('H_AB = {:.2f}'.format(H_ab_after))
print('Ks_AB = {:.2f}'.format(Ks_ab_after))
J_AB = 15.89
H_AB = 15.92
Ks_AB = 16.01
Let us compare the magnitude differences between the J-, H-band magnitudes from before and after the normalization. The choice of the K-band is furthermore motivated by a comparison of the near-infrared with the optical spectra after all have been normalized to broad band fluxes (see below).
[7]:
print('Absolute J-band differences before and after normalization: {:.2f} mag vs {:.2f} mag'.format(
abs(J_ab_before-J_ab), abs(J_ab_after-J_ab)))
print('Absolute H-band differences before and after normalization: {:.2f} mag vs {:.2f} mag'.format(
abs(H_ab_before-H_ab), abs(H_ab_after-H_ab)))
print('Absolute Ks-band differences before and after normalization: {:.2f} mag vs {:.2f} mag'.format(
abs(Ks_ab_before-Ks_ab), abs(Ks_ab_after-Ks_ab)))
Absolute J-band differences before and after normalization: 0.63 mag vs 0.24 mag
Absolute H-band differences before and after normalization: 0.65 mag vs 0.22 mag
Absolute Ks-band differences before and after normalization: 0.88 mag vs 0.00 mag
While the K-band flux normalization leaves some residuals in the J- and H-bands, they are much closer to their 2MASS values than before.
Absolute flux calibration of the optical spectra
We continue with the optical spectra, starting with the green spectrum (specoptA) and use the Pan-STARRS r-band magnitude (r=16.50, AB) for normalization.
[8]:
r_ab = 16.50
pb_r = sod.PassBand(passband_name='PS1-r')
nspecoptA = specoptA.renormalize_by_ab_magnitude(r_ab, pb_r)
The orange spectrum (specoptB) starts and ends at larger wavelengths. Therefore, we use the Pan-STARRS i-band magnitude (i=16.42, AB) for normalization.
[9]:
i_ab = 16.50
pb_i = sod.PassBand(passband_name='PS1-i')
nspecoptB = specoptB.renormalize_by_ab_magnitude(i_ab, pb_i)
Flux calibrated spectra
Below we display the spectra normalized by their broad band r, i, and Ks photometry. A comparison to the previous figure displays that the broad band flux normalization has been successful.
[10]:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(specnir.dispersion, specnir.fluxden, 'red')
plt.plot(specoptA.dispersion, specoptA.fluxden, 'green')
plt.plot(specoptB.dispersion, specoptB.fluxden, 'orange')
plt.ylim(0, 200)
plt.xlabel('Dispersion ({})'.format(specnir.dispersion_unit))
plt.ylabel('Flux density ({})'.format(specnir.fluxden_unit))
plt.title('Before broad band flux normalization')
plt.show()
plt.plot(nspecnir.dispersion, nspecnir.fluxden, 'red')
plt.plot(nspecoptA.dispersion, nspecoptA.fluxden, 'green')
plt.plot(nspecoptB.dispersion, nspecoptB.fluxden, 'orange')
plt.ylim(0, 200)
plt.xlabel('Dispersion ({})'.format(nspecnir.dispersion_unit))
plt.ylabel('Flux density ({})'.format(nspecnir.fluxden_unit))
plt.title('After broad band flux normalization')
plt.show()
Building a composite spectrum
In this step we will “stitch” the spectra together using the normalized K-band spectrum as a reference. At first we renomalize the flux level of the optical spectrum B to the broad band normalized near-infrared spectrum in their overlap wavelength range 8500-9000 A.
[11]:
nspecoptB = specoptB.renormalize_by_spectrum(nspecnir, dispersion_limits=[8500, 9000])
Then we normalize the optical spectrum A to the normalized optical spectrum B in their overlap wavelength range 6000-7000 A.
[12]:
nspecoptA = specoptA.renormalize_by_spectrum(nspecoptB, dispersion_limits=[6000, 7000])
Now that the spectra have the same flux level in their overlap regions, we trim their dispersion axes before we stitch them together.
[13]:
nspecoptA = nspecoptA.trim_dispersion([0,6500])
nspecoptB = nspecoptB.trim_dispersion([6500,8500])
nspecnir = nspecnir.trim_dispersion([8500,400000])
# Lets. plot them to have a quick look.
plt.plot(nspecnir.dispersion, nspecnir.fluxden, 'red')
plt.plot(nspecoptA.dispersion, nspecoptA.fluxden, 'green')
plt.plot(nspecoptB.dispersion, nspecoptB.fluxden, 'orange')
plt.ylim(0, 200)
plt.xlabel('Dispersion ({})'.format(nspecnir.dispersion_unit))
plt.ylabel('Flux density ({})'.format(nspecnir.fluxden_unit))
plt.show()
[WARNING] Lower limit is below the lowest dispersion value. The lower limit is set to the minimum dispersion value.
[WARNING] Upper limit is above the highest dispersion value. The upper limit is set to the maximum dispersion value.
This doesn’t look too bad. Now we build the composite spectrum by appending all dispersion, flux density, and flux density error arrays. This is done manually. Possibly, future versions of Sculptor may be able to automatize this process.
[14]:
import numpy as np
# Building the dispersion array
comp_dispersion = nspecoptA.dispersion
comp_dispersion = np.append(comp_dispersion, nspecoptB.dispersion)
comp_dispersion = np.append(comp_dispersion, nspecnir.dispersion)
# Building the flux density array
comp_fluxden = nspecoptA.fluxden
comp_fluxden = np.append(comp_fluxden, nspecoptB.fluxden)
comp_fluxden = np.append(comp_fluxden, nspecnir.fluxden)
# Building the flux density error array
comp_fluxden_err = nspecoptA.fluxden_err
comp_fluxden_err = np.append(comp_fluxden_err, nspecoptB.fluxden_err)
comp_fluxden_err = np.append(comp_fluxden_err, nspecnir.fluxden_err)
# Initialize a new SpecOneD object for the composite
composite = sod.SpecOneD(dispersion=comp_dispersion,
fluxden=comp_fluxden,
fluxden_err=comp_fluxden_err,
# We now need to specify the physical units
# of the dispersion and flux density axis.
# Here, we simply copy them from the near-infrared
# spectrum.
dispersion_unit=nspecnir.dispersion_unit,
fluxden_unit=nspecnir.fluxden_unit)
# Let's plot our new composite spectrum
composite.plot(show_fluxden_err=True)
Saving the final composite spectrum
As the final step of this example we save the dereddened composite spectrum to a SpecOneD hdf5 file for use with Sculptor. The relative path below will save it in the example spectra within the sculptor data folder.
[15]:
# Save a version of the spectrum in the example spectra folder
composite.save_to_hdf('../../sculptor/data/example_spectra/J2125-1719_composite.hdf')

PARADISE ROAD A film review by Adam Joyce Copyright 1997 Adam Joyce
For the women in this film paradise is freedom, and the road to freedom is a long and arduous one along which many will fall. As the sun set over Singapore on the 10th February 1942, all women and children were ordered to evacuate before the fall of Singapore to the Japanese. They were packed onto undersized marine vessels destined for Australia and England, many of these were sunk by Japanese bombers as they headed south. This was the fate of those aboard the Prince Albert in Bruce Beresfords Paradise Road, and those who managed to swim to the shores of Sumatra could be considered by some as less fortunate than those who did not. Paradise Road is based on the true story of a group of women and children who were captured and taken to a Japanese POW camp after swimming to the shores of Sumatra from their sinking ship. It follows the hardships they face in a squaller of a camp in which the Japanese soldiers seem to have no compassion, and in which the women are treated worse than animals. As a means of defiance some of the women form a choir. It is the uniting power of music that gives many of the women the strength to continue, and is of such beauty that even the Japanese guards refuse to stop it. Bruce Beresford, as the writer and director of Paradise Road has managed to capture the despair and desolation which the women feel, and despite the death which surrounds them, hope is ever present in those with the will. He has also provided a contrast to the despair with humour, which is drawn from the situation in which the women find themselves. This has been done particularly well, and the audience finds themselves laughing one minute and crying the next, being carried with the story, and empathising strongly with the characters. There are plenty of actors who will be recognised by Australian audiences in Paradise Road. Glenn Close plays the lead character, Adrienne Pargiter, a British wife of a tea planter, who with a musical background becomes the conductor of the womens choir. Her leadership in this position is representative of her role throughout the film, her courage and determination inspiring many of the other women not to give up. Pauline Collins plays a British missionary, Margaret Drummond, who with Adrienne forms, to use Margarets very apt description, a vocal orchestra. Frances McDormand, who has a remarkable ability to take on extraordinarily different characters plays Dr Verstak, a German Jew, who in McDormands unique style is somewhat odd, but quite charismatic. Australian Cate Blanchett makes her big screen debut playing Susan Macarthy, an Australian nursing sister. After this performance there can be little doubt that we will see her again in feature films. These actors are in addition to many other faces which will light a spark of recognition in audiences. The cinematography, especially the shots filmed in Penang, are spectacular. The mountains which surround the camp provide a stunningly beautiful and tranquil backdrop, which is a startling contrast to the filthy camp and the graphic violence of the Japanese guards, which is particularly disturbing. The vocal orchestra brings the women together, despite their different backgrounds. Although death surrounds them like a sheaf, this only provides them with more reason to shine through in the face of adversity. It is quite difficult to believe that the sound of a group of singing women could be powerful enough to prevent typically aggressive guards from breaking up a prohibited gathering. But the singing literally passes right through you, sending shivers up your spine. It has to be heard to be believed. See, feel and hear Paradise Road for yourself.

Batch transforming XML files in the database
Sometimes you need to make the same changes to many or all of your MEI documents.
Typical changes are text replacements (if, for instance, your project changes its
name or address), but also more complex, structural changes are possible. Using an
XSL transformation for such tasks often is more efficient than editing all the
documents by hand. Instead of downloading all of your files, transforming them
locally on your computer, and upload them back to the server, MerMEId offers a
script to do such a transformation directly on the server.
Please note, however, that due to software limitations transformations cannot make
any changes to the documents' root element (that is, <mei>),
such as changing the meiversion attribute. To migrate your data to newer
MEI versions, therefore, you will need to download your data, transform them locally
and upload them to the new database.
- Warning! Transforming your documents directly on the server is an irreversible
process.
If your transformation does not work as expected, your data may be completely and permanently damaged. Make sure to test your transformation thoroughly and to save a backup copy of your data somewhere else before running the transformation.
For safety reasons, the batch transformation service is disabled by default. Ask your system administrator to enable it by editing the file /db/mermeid/tools/batch_transform.xq in the eXist database.
Prior to using the script, an XSLT style sheet making the desired changes must be placed somewhere where your server has access to it.
The script is located in the 'tools' folder in your eXist database: batch_transform_settings.xq.
The server may prompt you for an administrator password in order to give you access to the script. You should see the following form. It includes basic instructions and suggests default settings in some of the fields:
Fill in the form to define which files to select. The recommended default location of the XSLT style sheets is (http://[your-server]/exist/rest/db/mermeid/tools/batch_xsl/), i.e. in your eXist database, but your style sheet may also be located outside of the database or on some other server. Click the 'Search files' button to get a list of files matching the search criteria. Possibly not all files will actually be changed – that depends on your XSL transformation. The list only indicates the files that the script will attempt to transform.
Hit the 'Transform' button to run the transformation.
- If you are transforming many files, the connection may time out before the
process is completed. This does not necessarily mean that the process stopped;
it may continue to run in the background on your server. Therefore, you may
experience the server being irresponsive for some time after a timeout.
Changing your browser's HTTP timeout settings may help avoiding a connection timeout.
After the transformation process – if the connection did not time out – a result page will list the files changed and those that were unaffected by the transformation.

There are many good apps out there that will allow you to take photos and convert them to PDFs. This is actually a better method than using your computer (described below), since theses apps optimize your photos for PDFs (using your computer to convert will often result in very large PDF file sizes!). Here are a few apps you can use:
Personally, I use Scannable — primarily because of its association with Evernote, if you wanted a recommendation. But note it does not exist on Android. I also have successfully used Turboscan in the past.
Additionally, as Hood students, you all have Onedrive, you can use the app on your phone to scan documents with photos and convert them to PDFs.
Most modern versions of operating system have a built-in tool in the File Viewer (or Finder) menus, after clicking on one or multiple files, to create a PDF from the files.
So first take photos on your smartphone of your written work (one photo per page). Please try to frame your photos properly! Put your paper flat on a solid surface (table, desk, the floor, etc). Get the whole page within the borders of the photo, and not too much background. I don’t need to see half of your desk or bed as you are taking the photo! Take a look at it and make sure it is legible.
Next, get the photos onto your computer (whether by Airdrop, email to yourself, Dropbox, etc.). Finally, depending on your OS, convert the files to a PDF:
1. On a Windows PC
Open the folder where your photos are currently, in the File Explorer. Select all of the photos, and right click, and select Print
. In the dialog box that pops up, select Microsoft Print to PDF
in the Printer
box, and then click Print.
This will save it as a .pdf
file in that folder. See more information.
2. On a Mac
As I use a Mac, I will show you how Mac OS has a neat feature built into Finder, which allows converting multiple files into a single PDF file as a Quick Action. I have written two pages in a notebook and taken two separate pictures of them, and airdropped them onto my computer.
Here is the example PDF.
3. On Linux
If you use Linux, I assume you know your way around a computer well enough to make a PDF! 🤖

stacks is an R package for model stacking that aligns with the tidymodels. Model stacking is an ensembling method that takes the outputs of many models and combines them to generate a new model—referred to as an ensemble in this package—that generates predictions informed by each of its members.
The process goes something like this:
data_stack
object with stacks()
data_stack
with add_candidates()
blend_predictions()
fit_members()
predict()
You can install the package with the following code:
install.packages("stacks")
Install the development version with:
remotes::install_github("tidymodels/stacks", ref = "main")
stacks is generalized with respect to:
stacks uses a regularized linear model to combine predictions from ensemble members, though this model type is only one of many possible learning algorithms that could be used to fit a stacked ensemble model. For implementations of additional ensemble learning algorithms, check out h2o and SuperLearner.
Rather than diving right into the implementation, we’ll focus here on how the pieces fit together, conceptually, in building an ensemble with stacks
. See the basics
vignette for an example of the API in action!
At the highest level, ensembles are formed from model definitions. In this package, model definitions are an instance of a minimal workflow, containing a model specification (as defined in the parsnip package) and, optionally, a preprocessor (as defined in the recipes package). Model definitions specify the form of candidate ensemble members.
To be used in the same ensemble, each of these model definitions must share the same resample. This rsample rset
object, when paired with the model definitions, can be used to generate the tuning/fitting results objects for the candidate ensemble members with tune.
Candidate members first come together in a data_stack
object through the add_candidates()
function. Principally, these objects are just tibbles, where the first column gives the true outcome in the assessment set (the portion of the training set used for model validation), and the remaining columns give the predictions from each candidate ensemble member. (When the outcome is numeric, there’s only one column per candidate ensemble member. Classification requires as many columns per candidate as there are levels in the outcome variable.) They also bring along a few extra attributes to keep track of model definitions.
Then, the data stack can be evaluated using blend_predictions()
to determine to how best to combine the outputs from each of the candidate members. In the stacking literature, this process is commonly called metalearning.
The outputs of each member are likely highly correlated. Thus, depending on the degree of regularization you choose, the coefficients for the inputs of (possibly) many of the members will zero out—their predictions will have no influence on the final output, and those terms will thus be thrown out.
These stacking coefficients determine which candidate ensemble members will become ensemble members. Candidates with non-zero stacking coefficients are then fitted on the whole training set, altogether making up a model_stack
object.
This model stack object, outputted from fit_members()
, is ready to predict on new data! The trained ensemble members are often referred to as base models in the stacking literature.
The full visual outline for these steps can be found here. The API for the package closely mirrors these ideas. See the basics
vignette for an example of how this grammar is implemented!

Artist eats banana taped to wall in £100,000 installation
by Elisa MenendezIf you had bought an overripe banana for almost £100,000 and someone came along and started eating it, you would probably be pretty annoyed.
Many may ask why one would consider splashing that much cash on a piece of fruit you could buy for less than £1 in Tesco – but this was all in the name of art.
This week, at the Art Basel Miami – the most well-established art show in the Americas – pioneer Maurizio Cattelan stole the show with his work of a spotty banana duct-taped to a blank wall.
His piece titled ‘Comedian’ quickly became the most talked about of the whole event after quickly selling two pieces for $120,000 (£91,164).
But much to the surprise of shocked bystanders, fellow artist David Datuna removed the extortionately-priced banana from the wall, unpeeled it and took a bite.
A large crowd filmed it in awe on their phones as Mr Datuna continued to munch on potentially the most expensive banana in the world.
‘I respect Maurizio but it’s art performance. Hungry artist,’ he said. ‘You have more? $150,000, tasting good,’ he joked.
As he goes to take his last bite, an onlooker says: ‘Last one, that’s 10 grand right there’.
Mr Durant asks the audience for a tissue, before someone hands him one. He then wipes his mouth and puts his arms in the air, proclaiming: ‘Very tasty’.
An outraged woman, who is thought to work for the gallery, quickly approaches him asking: ‘Are you kidding? Did you really do this?’
She is seen shaking her head as he insists: ‘It’s performance’, to which the woman argues back that it’s not before leading him away.
The bananas had been bought at a local grocery store and no instructions were given on what to do as the banana continues to ripen. But buyers didn’t have to make that decision after Mr Datuna’s stunt.
Gallery founder Emmanuel Perrotin had said earlier this week that ‘Maurizio’s work is not just about objects, but about how objects move through the world.’
He originally hailed the artwork as ‘a symbol of global trade, a double entendre, as well as a classic device for humour’.
Prior to the feast, the Paris-based Perrotin gallery had raised the price to $150,000 (£113,931) for Mr Cattelan’s third piece, which is set to be sold to a museum.
Earlier this year, Mr Cattelan was the subject of world headlines when his solid gold toilet was stolen from Blenheim Palace, which was installed for an art exhibition at Sir Winston Churchill’s birthplace.
The 18-carat throne, valued at 4.8 million, has still not been recovered and police enquiries are thought to be ongoing.


Titanic
A Review
By Jeremiah Rickert
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Bill Paxton, and Gloria Stuart.
Directed by James Cameron.
I really wanted to hate this film.  I was wrong with Forrest Gump, and I was wrong with Titanic.
Much of what has been said about this film is absolutely true, at the end of the film, it does not seem that you've been sitting there for over three hours, and if the ship were not on the bottom of the Atlantic, it is quite possible you would want more.
The film is a story within a story. The framing story concerns a treasure hunter (Bill Paxton) who is being bankrolled by several "interests" to find what is thought to be the most valueable diamond in the world. It was last known to be aboard Titanic in the possession of a Pittsburgh Steel Tycoon. In navigating the wreck he finds a safe which he believes holds the diamond, however upon opening it, all he finds is muck, water, and a packet of drawings, one of which of a naked girl wearing the diamond. He shows the picture on TV, knowing/hoping someone is going to know the person. A elderly woman (Gloria Stuart) phones him and claims she is the woman in the picture, identifying the diamond by its name. She is flown out to the ship and tells the story of the diamond, and her voyage on the Titanic in a flashback.
Her flashback is the meat of the movie. We are introduced to Rose (Kate Winslet) a young woman who is promised to be engaged to, you guessed it, a steel tycoon, played by Billy Zane (Phantom). Also, proclaming this is the luckiest day of his life, artist Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) wins a third class ticket on the Titanic and runs to get to the ship before she sails. It is obvious that Rose is not conent with her match and we later learn that her mother is bankrupt and must insure their class status. Class is one of the major themes here, and there is a clever duality where it refers to not only one's position in society, but ones position in the ship. Literally, the first class people were on the top of the ship, and the lower class, were on the bottom. Rose is not a usual girl of high breeding and feels a slave to her class rather than a part of it.  She is about to throw herself off of the boat when Jack saves her. They have instant chemistry, but it is obvious that she is still slightly bound by her class strictures, and slowly but surely (but not too slow) she begins to loosen up even more as she moves closer and closer to Jack.
Her fiance and his Valet (David Warner) see her relationship with Jack blooming and seem to do all they can to stop it, including handcuff him to a post when the ship is going down.
It is difficult to expound futher on the plot without giving too much away. The acting in this film is top notch especially with people in the smaller rolls. Victor Garber (Godspell, Sleepless in Seattle) is brilliant as the cathartic Andrews, the designer of the unsinkable ship. He is a tragic figure of Greek and Shakespearian proportions. A man who thought he could question the gods, indeed, someone does say that even "God couldn't sink her" when referring to the ship. The leads, DiCaprio and Winslet were good, but could have been better. DiCaprio will forever seem 12 years old, and it is difficult to see him as an adult in any role. Winslet was facially brilliant, so many of her expressions conveyed emotions and sometimes I could almost imagine fire behind her eyes, and sometime great sadness. Zane oozed smarmy evil, as he has done in so many other films, and did it with style too. Rose's Mother as well, conveyed her personal terror at having to work and losing her position. Kathy Bates as Molly Brown showed us what new-money is, and what it meant to the other people with money. Finally, I cannot say too much about Gloria Stuart, she has been absent from film for several years, and she is what sucked me into the film emotionally before we even had a single flashback. Her ice blue eyes held an incredible amount of emotion, laughter, pain, and in a way, I looked forward to her appearances in the film.
Now on to Cameron's direction. It was pretty good. He created several short moments in this film that were very moving. The string quartet as the ship was going down, was something that could have been played as a comic moment, in fact, some people in the audience laughed.  The fades from Rose and Jack "flying" on the front of the ship to the wreck, and later from Young Rose's eyes to Old Rose's eyes, during the sketching scene, I sat back in my seat and said wow, it was such a little thing, but it seemed to powerful, it locked the framing story into the other in a way that is stronger than most films and even books ever do. There was obvious, strong, connections between the two. Finally, one of the most simple shots was just of an old couple in bed as the ship was sinking and it was a short, but extremely moving moment in the film. Even though nothing is said about them, they are not characters we have met, but we see them there and we immediately think that is love.
I have gotten to the bottom of my review and I have not even mentioned special effects. That is a surprise in a Cameron film, because his name is often synonymous with them. In this case, however, you aren't seeing a special effect, you are seeing THE TITANIC, the real one. The CGI effects are superior in some cases, and only the very carefully watching eye can catch them. Only the daytime shots of the ship betrayed the special effects, at night, the shots were spectacular. Same with the shots of the engines turning, it was exciting, it was loud, and it was powerful.
The only thing I found a bit weak in this film, was the writing of dialogue. It is a difficult thing to do in any film, some writers have a gift for it, some do not. In this case, though, considering the rest of the film, it is often easy to forgive. It did bother me a bit, however. Other than that, this is an excellent film. It was far better than I would have expected, and I am glad I saw it.
Of the $3.50 I paid to see it, it was worth $6.25

MINDHUNTER
Mindhunter is based on the 1996 book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, by former special agent John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. For years, Douglas pursued some of the most notorious serial killers and rapists, developing profiling techniques to catch them. The book goes behind the scenes of some of his highest-profile cases, including the man who hunted prostitutes in Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer. To hone in his profiling methods Douglas interviewed and studied a skew of serial killers. Several book and TV characters have been based in part on him, including Jack Crawford in Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs, Will Graham on Hannibal and Jason Gideon on Criminal Minds.

AniRater is an anime review site created by five students engaged in their Capstone project. It is the result of a lot of hours of hard work, late nights, and desperately wishing we could actually all meet at the same time to put it all together. Sickness, car accidents, cat bites, and plain ol' sleeping in has taken its toll on the project. However, through the power of persistence, it is what you see here.
This website was created in the first half of 2019, during the spring semester at Fayetteville Technical Community College. Its purpose is to create a sense of community in discussing anime together. Or just to help us pass the class and graduate with relatively good grades.

— Passionate about psychology,
human behavior and design.
Designing for human beings:
"How hard can it be?" - they said.
Around my 20th birthday, I realized that I wanted my crayons back so I started to draw again, but not on paper this time.
The result of combining it with research, learning and dedication was my top accomplishment of that time. In time, I also developed an affinity towards human psychology, which served me as a tool in understanding the predictability of human behaviour.
Thus I came to the realization that by choosing a career path in User Experience, User Interface and User Interaction Design, I could combine two of the things I love to observe and learn about.

Basic blank structure of a project based on ITCSS (Scalable and Maintainable CSS Architecture) and BEMIT (BEM) Methodology.
It is a CSS framework for web artisans. It is another framework to be able to start developing your project with a predefined base based on OOCSS, working through BEMIT (BEM + ITCSS). In this way we can develop our project in a coherent, clean and orderly way and can be maintained and scaled without any difficulty.
The framework has some components developed to start working, the styles of each component are generic styles and are designed to be edited according to the needs of the project with which you use it, although if they seem beautiful, they are ready to use them!


Studies show that self-affirmation tends to minimize the negative effects of stereotype threat. Allowing people to show their self worth by encouraging them to think of skills, characteristics, values or roles that they view as important can eliminate the detrimental impact of stereotype threat. Reminding people of their self-worth is an important part of helping them disregard how they are "stereotypically" supposed to perform.
When I think of the times in my life where I've been the happiest, the proudest or most satisfied the values that come to mind for me are: accomplishment, challenge, close relationships, courage, friendship, helping others, persistence, knowledge and willpower.
When I'm feeling down and need some self-affirmation to get my confidence back up, I like to remind myself that I'm probably struggling because I value challenging myself. I know that to grow I need to continuously be stepping outside my comfort zone. Typically, when one steps outside their comfort zone, they feel incredibly lost and confused before they feel confident. Not to mention, trying new things often ends in failure before it ends in success. However, it's important to me that I continue to challenge myself in all of the aspects of my life. I know that I will only feel happy in a career that will continue to push me and teach me new things day in and day out. I also try to challenge myself in my relationships. Being a good person inside your relationships involves a lot of self reflection. It involves truly understanding what relationships have positive impacts on your life and knowing when to let go of relationship that are no longer healthy for you.
While I have promised not to let the stereotype threat of being a girl in coding impact my performance at DBC, at least now I have a way to do that. If I start to feel down I can think about characteristics that I highly values and that have led me to accomplishments and happiness in my past.


News story
Amanda Spielman today delivered her first speech as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, and announced a new investigation into the curriculum.
Addressing the Association of School & College Leaders (ASCL) annual conference, Amanda Spielman today vowed to use the ‘immense power’ of Ofsted inspections responsibly and intelligently.
She said:
Inspection should not be making your job unnecessarily difficult or laborious. Or, worse still, actually diverting you from the real task at hand – our children’s education.
I have no interest in using this role to impose my personal prejudices about how you should run your schools, nor will Ofsted on my watch become a vehicle for promoting the latest educational fashion or fad. And I won’t be pushing you to jump through increasingly convoluted hoops, only to change direction a couple of years down the line.
My interest is solely in ensuring that every child receives what is their fundamental right: a good education. And not only a good education but the right education for that child.
Amanda made clear that she won’t shy away from speaking ‘truth to power’ or exposing institutions that are failing to deliver a proper standard of education or care for children.
She said:
Whether it is pupils struggling to learn, in schools where behaviour just isn’t good enough, young people being exposed to extremist views in illegal schools, or children left vulnerable in our care system, I will be frank about these failings. And, what’s more, I will demand action to tackle them.
The new Chief Inspector also used her speech to implore school leaders to resist heaping unnecessary workloads onto their teaching staff in the name of Ofsted, or hiring costly consultants to run mock inspections as a dress rehearsal for the real thing.
She said:
Ofsted inspections should not be a performance that schools spend hours rehearsing. Our inspectors are getting better at evaluating whether what we see on inspection is a true reflection of the everyday life of a school.
And no matter what so-called ‘consultants’ are selling, when school finances are under pressure and workloads are high, running mocksteds is an unacceptable waste of staff time and scarce pupil funding.
Following last week’s warning from Ofsted’s National Director of Education , Sean Harford, that some schools are entering pupils for non-academic qualifications that aren’t in their best interests, Amanda repeated concerns that the pressures of accountability are leading some schools to try to ‘game’ the system.
She acknowledged that conflict often exists between a headteacher’s desire to give pupils the right education for their future success, and the desire to improve their school’s position in the league tables.
She said:
We know that there are some schools that are narrowing the curriculum, using qualifications inappropriately, and moving out pupils who would drag down results. That is nothing short of a scandal. Childhood isn’t deferrable; young people get one opportunity to learn in school; and we owe it to them make sure they all get an education that is broad, rich and deep.
There is more to a good education than league tables. Vitally important though a school’s examination results are, we must not allow curricula to be driven just by SATs, GCSEs and A levels. It is the substance of education that ultimately creates and changes life chances, not grade stickers from exams.
So I am determined to make sure that the curriculum receives the proper focus it deserves.
In light of these concerns, Amanda today announced a major Ofsted investigation into how effectively schools - from early years through primary, secondary and further education - are using the curriculum to provide children with the best education.
Amanda conceded that the curriculum has not received enough attention during inspections in recent years. To correct this, Ofsted’s study will explore how maintained schools translate the National Curriculum into effective classroom teaching, and how academies design their own curriculum, and what this means for young people’s school experience.
The study will look for examples of the most successful curricula, and also consider what can be done to tackle the problems, such as such as curriculum narrowing. And it will provide insights into important debates about how schools can promote social mobility and make sure that every young person is offered the best possible start to adult life.
Ofsted is currently in the first stages of scoping the investigation. Inspectors will carry out fieldwork over the next few months, before the final report is published later in the year.
The study will not review the national curriculum itself, but rather how schools are implementing it in the classroom.

GraphQuestions
GraphQuestions[1] is such a QA dataset specified many characteristics of a question, including structural complexity, answer cardinality, function, commonness, and even paraphrasing. It contains over 5000 pairs of question-logical forms, where each question is associated with ground-truth answer from the knowledge base. In the process of constructing this dataset, a semi-automated framework was proposed, where an intermediate graph query representation, automatically generated from a knowledge base, was used to guide to formalize the characteristics of a question. Human annotators converted these graph queries to natural language questions, and then produced many more questions with the same meaning using two levels of paraphrases, i.e. entity and question.

In June of 2019, just as E3 was wrapping up, my team at Xbox prototyped an Xbox app, to prove out React Native Windows. That app would eventually come to replace the Microsoft Store on Xbox, releasing to the world in September of 2020. Built from the ground up to support a fast, console-first experience, the new store is designed to be navigated with a controller and architected with performance as the first priority.
The new store launches way way faster - as much as 600% faster than the old one, with a median cold boot launch time of 500ms.
With a 10-foot experience at top of mind, the new store is built with a set of UI components and design principles that makes controller navigation easy and seamless.
One of the first ever production apps built on React Native Windows, building and maintaining features is painless and fast. My driving mantra as I architected the developer experience was "make it easy to do the right thing," and a weekly update cadence and high user satisfaction shows that it's working.
A brand new app, built on the foundational technology that built the Microsoft Store. The app allows Xbox users to discover in-game events and subscribe to notifications for those events starting.
Built on the same foundations as the Microsoft Store, Xbox Events looks intentionally similar, establishing patterns for the future of Xbox.
My team treats tools as first class products. UI that only publishers will ever see should still be beautiful, performant and accessible. The Xbox Events Manager, a web-based publisher tool, is a perfect example of this dedication to quality.
At Verve, I built and prototyped cutting-edge mobile ad experiences. I've been involved with every part of the ad building process: meeting with clients, working out the design, developing the ad itself and deciding what metrics to report on. I haven't just built the ads, but designed and developed the core framework that powered Verve's ad development and prototyped nearly every new ad format Verve introduced for 3 years.
All of these ads were built in less than 2 weeks, thanks to work I led on tools and processes that allowed Verve to offer industry-leading turnaround times.

Keeping with the creepy theme of the show, an interstitial "holiday message" shows your current location on Google StreetView to promote the new season of Black Mirror.
Banner overlay reacts to user scrolling (even in-app, using Verve's proprietary SDK integration) and brings them to an immersive map panel to find the nearest store.
Match-3 game helps you figure out your favorite Drumstick flavor.
The entire Foundry team at Verve used the ad development process and build tooling that I designed for fast design and development in a tight turnaround time. From ideation to the finished product, every step of the process is influenced by a tool I built.
sf2jira is an internal tool that listens for Salesforce webhooks, then creates and assigns JIRA tickets. It was originally a barely-functional prototype before I started at Verve, but I took it over and rebuilt it to modern standards, with test-driven development and functional components. It now uses an intelligent Constraint Satisifaction Problem solver to balance developer and designer workloads and specialties between different types of tasks. sf2jira is a core part of the Foundry infrastructure, building and assigning every ticket that we work on.
The next generation of creative framework for the Foundry team. Codenamed Hooligan because it's built on Riot, it replaces the old and unwieldy AdJS with a better experience for both developers and users.  Designed with reusable components and modularity in mind, Hooligan eliminates repetitive boilerplate, allowing Foundry developers to boast the fastest turnaround times in the industry.
The Creative Showcase is an internal tool built to help account managers, sales and designers find existing examples of ads that we've built. It's entirely automated, pulling information from JIRA, Salesforce and internal services together to enable anyone to find whatever information they need. The frontend is built in Vue, using IndexedDB for caching and searching through creative data.
dodo is a Twitter client built to replace the now-unmaintained Chrome Bird extension. It is designed is to be a convenient, always-available timeline viewer to help keep up with news on Twitter while doing other things. It intentionally does not implement many features of twitter.com, like viewing user profiles or searching tweets and hashtags. The goal is to be lightweight and simple to use.
Ludum Dare is one of the world's largest and longest running Game Jam events. Every 4 months, we challenge creators to make a game from scratch in a weekend. Ludum Dare website
I've been participating in Ludum Dare competition and jam events since December 2010, when I was only just barely getting started with game development. Every time I compete I try to do something I've never done before, and so LD has strongly shaped my approach to design and development. I've learned a lot from Ludum Dare, even when my games aren't the greatest. That said, I also have quite a few games that I'm proud of, which I'll highlight here.
For a complete list of my LD games, visit my author pages on the Ludum Dare sites:
SneakyLink is a chat-based game, in which you are attempting to infiltrate a group of script kiddies, one of which is supposed to have stolen some important document. It is built on a javascript windowing engine and psuedo-chat framework that I built in the 48-hour competition, which unfortunately didn't leave enough time to finish the writing. Still, it shows off the possibilities of a game built on this fake-OS interface, which was later proven by games like Emily is Away in 2015 and Kingsway in 2017.
cover is an experiment in trying to put a lot of depth into an interface without ever opening any new windows or menus (thus keeping the "entire game on one screen" theme). It's also an incremental game, back from when that genre wasn't as well known as it is now and Cookie Clicker was the go-to example. I wanted to make a more physical sort of incremental game, where the resource you accumulate directly impacts the space you're playing in. The interface ended up a little confusing, but once you understand it it's pretty fluid.
WHISTLE COMMAND was my second idea for this competition, after wasting the first half of the 48 hours on an idea that I ended up completely scrapping. Microphone input via getUserMedia was only very recently available, and I had been itching to use it in something, so I tried a simple prototype of controlling the position of a dot with the pitch from your microphone. I found it immediately engaging and built a little game around it with my remaining time. I did not have very much time for the graphics, which is... apparent.
It was the most positive feedback I've ever recieved in a Ludum Dare, winning first place in both the Innovation and Theme categories. It also led to a comment that I aspire to replicate with everything I build:
Oh my god this is such a great idea. I literally could not get past the rapid fire because I started laughing too much. I've never seen a mechanic convey laughter that well before. foolmoron on Ludum Dare
Ludum Dare 34 was unusual in that the two highest-voted themes were tied, and so it was a dual-theme jam -- you could use either or both themes in your entry. I knew immediately that I wanted to use both, and that I wanted to make something relaxing and chill. In the LD prior to this one (33), I started to partipate in the Jam rather than the Competition, which meant I had an extra day and could work with a team. This meant a marked increase in the quality of my art assets, as I could lean on friends who are much better at it than me! I also made use of bbatv's wonderful song ", isn't the rain nice today?" which adds a lot of atmosphere to the game.
With thanks, I hate it!, I wanted to create something that surprised you with what it was willing to do. I was looking for that moment of laughter when something unexpected happens. I also wanted to make something aggressively unpleasant, because that was how I read the theme - the more you play this game, the worse it is. It's sort of an incremental game that actively punishes you for succeeding.
On a technical note, I used this as an opportunity to try out Web Components, which I found very helpful for this format. I used a polyfill but otherwise focused on just HTML-standard web components, which I think were a great choice that allowed me to very rapidly prototype.


in that case we might need to adjust the algo a bit
it seems safe enough here... doing some last code checks and stuff and will push for you ghuys to test
liekly this may alklow stakign nodes to do more than just stake aswell.(edited)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 01:39 PM
the stakign nodes all start stkingt and just keep on staking... regardless of weather a block has been received in that time
iirc, that was intentional...
You keep rechecking what you can do (a new 90 check with every loop iirc) until a block comes in and then you start with the new hash(edited)
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:39 PM
it cant see a block comming in in the current state
now it can
the entire daemon is locked... it only is a real issue when the stakign loop takes a long time (5000+ utxos)
but now there is 0 issue
regardless of the number of uitxos
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 01:40 PM
if you couldn't see an incoming block, then you'd fork or reorg any time you had a valid block in x seconds
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:41 PM
thats exactlk what happens
these chains reorg liek crazy
which is also why the wallet fucks up(edited)
creating and then erasing txs all the time
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 01:41 PM
I'm limited to CFEK, but I don't recall the last time I saw a reorg
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:42 PM
either way I know 100% that the chaintip updated and break from staking loop was not happening before I fixed the lcok up
ive been watching th print for days
will be pushed to test soon
you can check it
vast improvemnmt I promise
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 01:44 PM
oh, I see what you mean now, I thought you meant it wasn't ever stopping (i.e. not even checking between loops)(edited)
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:45 PM
basicallyt what happened is this:
create block is called
deamon is locked until block is created
during this process near teh end of create block the staking loop is called
the staking loop takes up to 10-25 even 30s to complete
dureing this time the deamon is locked
no RPC calls no block received nothing, locked.
what happens now
Create blcok is called
half way though the process the deamon lock is relaesed and the staking loop is called
up side to this seems to be that whenever a block is created its now valid
before it created lots and lots of stale/invlid blocks(edited)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 01:48 PM
still hasn't seen this lockup you keep referring to since POSTEST64C, so he'll have to take your word for that bit
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:48 PM
It also apperars that the lock probably use to end where I moved it to ... but as thigns were added to the function they were included in the lock, becaseu tehre are variables inside that set of {}
what I had to do was move some of these variables outside the lock to be declared
doesnt seem to affect anything... maybe if a block was received at the exact nano second the chain tip was fetched there might be an issue
chain tip changed during staking loop t.1545136006 counter.0
if you didnt see that print then it was happening
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 01:50 PM
I'm thinking that you caught genieitis and you're now in that land where shit only happens to you like it usually only happens to me (edited)

blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:50 PM
I kind of deliberatly made it do these things
as tehere is no other way to fix it

ahhhhh, see, now that makes more sense

unless you pushing to the absolute limtis you cant really find bugs

I had a few lockups on CFEK. One required a reboot. Wasn't able to stop komodod on that one. pkills did nothing. On others could ^C and then send commands.

every single staking node will "lock"

I don't disagree, at all, but I've been reading what you've been writing for the last couple/few days as if you were just running "normally" and seeing this going on (which is why I keep saying thing's like "I don't see that", "get an Intel", etc)

but they should be exiting.... wait a little bit and this new version should fix the l;ast of it
just need to test a fresh sync
did see some werid shit before when syncong CFEK
can anyopne flood a few thousand txs on CFEK ?
while true loop on sendtoaddress will do it
wait dw about it
i'll do it meyself... this node is probably too isolated for it to even work
that's not me, but I'm running
while :; do ./komodo-cli -ac_name=CFEK sendtoaddress RBdHcrEGdPpAYBjckQhXcaJG3AD213JyHU 0.000001 "" false; done
for what the slow "flood" is worth lol
CrisF18-Dec-18 02:24 PM
I'll set off a migration loop before heading off.

blackjok3r18-Dec-18 02:26 PM
I know what it is
its my other node syncing
1
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴18-Dec-18 02:26 PM
lol
$ ./komodo-cli -ac_name=CFEK getmempoolinfo | jq '.size'
1401
good enough or more?
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 02:27 PM
as it syncs it adds all txs intothe mempool and htey muyst be trying to probagate to the other ndoe, its on connect =
its ok
i'll spam in this other node(edited)
I think if it was going to lock it would ahve done so by now in any case
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 03:14 PM
There are some huge blocks in CFEK near the end... taking an eternity to validate
wonder if this is anoter bug
jl777c18-Dec-18 03:23 PM
slow performance isnt actually a bug, just slow performance
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 03:48 PM
hmm I will see what txs they are... my guess is oracle spam form smks dApp
I have merged FSM to staked and pushed the ram staker fixes. You need 1000 utxo to activate the ram staker, it lasts 10 minutes or resets after you mine a block.
I have fit over 1000 tx in a block and its not locking up. CFEK sync a a bit slow though, and it seems to lock up on some blocks and pion a CPU core. after 95% synced.
will investigate that tomorrow
hoptefully its nothing

yeah, there's probably a few chocker blocks for the day the gps spoofing loop lost sleep on
been keeping an eye on and it's been behaving since tho
will likely need a dedicated chain, or maybe more than one, when it starts to scale up in users
blackjok3r19-Dec-18 12:23 AM
I'd still like to investigate what txs make it get stuck that long on a block, its pretty intense hang up, like its not like that block is 10mb or something
smk762 - dracocanis ominator19-Dec-18 03:01 AM
I can try spamming again tonite. The txs were from the write2oracle fuction

It's not jq that's slow, it's how we use it...

hah
Fixed another long outstanding bug(edited)
When I asked james to put segid into getblock
and it always returns -2
turns out the segid inside the block index is NEVER set
I fixed that...
2
this also had the effect that the getlastsegidstakes RPC is now about 1000x faster(edited)
Ity no longer has to fetch the entire block from disk but rather only iterate down the index.
I thaught this might be some hard forking change... but it does not appear to be the case... the code has a backup and actually every time it checks for segid, had to fully process the entire block
to calculate the segid for it.
this should speed things up no end
sync times are already faster ...(edited)
These changes are now getting so far off jl777/FSM that I dont even know how to merge this down
1
maybe we just keep this as
for (int64_t i = chainActive.Height(); i > chainActive.Height()-depth; i--)
{
CBlockIndex* pblockindex = chainActive[i];
if ( pblockindex->segid >= 0 )
segids[pblockindex->segid] += 1;
}
(edited)
it was a weird bug
it was trying to load the block from disk before it had even been processed and added to the chain
so simply returning PoW for every PoS block ... once this is resynced on CFEK i will try to stake with it and see if it forks off
blackjok3r19-Dec-18 07:11 AM
wow that getsegidstakes RPC is instant even for the entire chain (edited)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴19-Dec-18 07:27 AM
my brain is shot and my grep skills blow; what's the komodo max tx byte size?
blackjok3r19-Dec-18 07:38 AM
not actually sure
