In this project, you'll use generative adversarial networks to generate new images of faces.
You'll be using two datasets in this project:
Since the celebA dataset is complex and you're doing GANs in a project for the first time, we want you to test your neural network on MNIST before CelebA. Running the GANs on MNIST will allow you to see how well your model trains sooner.
If you're using FloydHub, set data_dir
to "/input" and use the FloydHub data ID "R5KrjnANiKVhLWAkpXhNBe".
data_dir = '/input'
# FloydHub - Use with data ID "R5KrjnANiKVhLWAkpXhNBe"

The CelebFaces Attributes Dataset (CelebA) dataset contains over 200,000 celebrity images with annotations. Since you're going to be generating faces, you won't need the annotations. You can view the first number of examples by changing show_n_images

Since the project's main focus is on building the GANs, we'll preprocess the data for you. The values of the MNIST and CelebA dataset will be in the range of -0.5 to 0.5 of 28x28 dimensional images. The CelebA images will be cropped to remove parts of the image that don't include a face, then resized down to 28x28.

You'll build the components necessary to build a GANs by implementing the following functions below:
model_inputs
discriminator
generator
model_loss
model_opt
train

Programming Makes You High
Runners experience a euphoria known as runners high. Programming creates similar feelings. There are multiple types of highs developers have. Each high can be enjoyed alone or mixed together to get really trashed. Everyone loves a rush of delicious endorphins.
Finding A Problem
Solving a problem in a programmatic way is pretty amazing. The seed of learning to develop begins in many developers from entertainment. They start off learning to code because of video games. At some point though, developers learn more about programming and they want to solve more challenging problems.
As I grew older and learned more about programming, I realized there was a vast landscape of challenges out there, and the opportunities for fun and learning was by no means limited to visual effects and interactive games. I discovered that writing a script parser in a high-level language or implementing a routing algorithm can be just as much fun as pipeline-optimizing rendering loops in assembly or programming an animation engine.
Finding challenging problems and knowing they can be solved with programming is the first endorphin release.
Finding The Right Language
Great developers don't limit themselves to one tool.
Many times people forget that programming language is just a tool to solve problems. In the end it boils down to problem and a right solution. A problem can be solved in any language, but certain problems can be best solved by using certain languages while others are best suited for other problems. It depends upon using right programming language for solving a particular problem.
It's lame when developers limit themselves to a single language and argue how awesome it is. Developers who limit themselves to one tool are not educated people.
A person who is a mile wide and an inch deep is not an educated person. But a person who is a mile deep and an inch wide is not an educated person either.
Languages and frameworks are being produced at an incredible rate. This growth will eventually plateu but we should keep partying like we don't know the great depression is around the corner. The current language trend is for the language to have a very specific use. Rather than being a generalized language, able to solve lots of problems, there is a single set of problems the language is trying to solve.
After finding a problem knowing there is a language specifically suited to solving it is the second endorphin release.
Sharing the Solution With Others
Developers love when people use their products.
At this point the developer has struggled during the development of the solution. They have written the first version of the product. They have found a few bugs and they've been fixed. Now is the time the code is shared with others. Depending on what the product is for, this can be done multiple ways.
Productizing the solution is the most common. Another method, which is more common to developer tools and frameworks, is to release the product as an open source project. Regardless of how the tool is released, the developer is still tasked to raise awareness around the solution. Hopefully, one that has viral growth.
Once the code is released, the developer waits, hoping someone will use their solution. Someone has the same problem. A search or two later and they find the developers solution. People have begun to use the developers solution. Release feel-good endorphins.
If they pay for it, even more endorphins!
Getting Complimented
Developers want to work on things that are being used. There is a rush that comes from knowing that the code you are developing will be used by others. However, when someone compliments something that you do another high is reached.
Everyone loves getting complimented. It makes us feel important.
When a product is being used only a few of the users will evangelize the product. When this level of adoption and appreciation happen the developer starts getting high on his own supply.
As a side note, negative feedback can be damaging. Startup advisors teach people to use negative feedback in order to iterate the product. We have to be told and retold not to let it affect our psychology.
Having Others Contribute
Ultimate euphoria. When another developer comes along and decides to contribute to your solution an overwhelming feeling comes over you. Recruiting others to contribute to your code base is a necessity if you are building anything that is widely used.
Contribution comes in two forms: Paid and non-paid.
You may think paid contribution doesn't make developers high. You would be wrong. Having the means to hire another to work on your solution is pretty sweet. If you are hiring correctly it's an amazing feeling. You have convinced someone else about your vision. They are contributing to the code base, not only for money, but because they believe in what you're doing.
Non-paid contribution happens with open source projects. If another developer finds what your doing to be helpful they will offer patches to your solution. These patches could be fixing bugs your code base has or adding features which they required in order to use the solution.
Elegance
Like artists developers love being Elegant.
I'm still hunting for this programming "high", but nowadays it's less about making the computer simply do something, but getting it done in a beautiful, elegant, eternal way. That's what keeps bringing me back to writing code.
Elegance can be so powerful that it is the only driving factor to why you develop.


Tutorial: Running an ADMB program
Obtaining the files
Download the files for the appropriate operating system (linux or DOS) from the "ADMB files" bar.
After having unpacked the files (with winzip for the DOS version and gunzip/tar for the linux version)
you should have the following files:
- The executable file itself, called program in this tutorial (program.exe under DOS).
- A .dat file containing data. If your executable is called program,
the name of this file will be program.dat
- A .pin file containing initial values for the optimization.
If your executable is called program, the name of this file will be program.pin
Invoking the program
When the name of the executable is program, the command is:
./program
under linux, and
.\program
in a DOS window. Remember to substitute your program name for program.
Command line options
An ADMB executable accepts commmand line options. You may for instance use -est to prevent the computation of the
Hessian matrix at the end of the optimization process:
.\program -est
For large applications, it may be necessary to allocate extra memory. When you see that large temporary
files are being generated in the directory where you run the executable, you must use one (or more) of the following options:
| Temporary file |
Option |
Typical value of N |
| f1b2list1 |
-l1 N |
10000000 |
| f1b2list12 |
-l2 N |
10000000 |
| f1b2list13 |
-l3 N |
10000000 |
| nf1b2list1 |
-nl1 N |
10000000 |
| nf1b2list12 |
-nl2 N |
10000000 |
| nf1b2list13 |
-nl3 N |
10000000 |
So, your command line may look like:
.\program -est -l1 1000000 -l2 1000000 -l3 1000000 -nl1 1000000
Results
The results are found in a file called program.par (in this case). Standard deviations of parameter estimates
are given in program.std (when the option -est is not used).
My program crashes without any further message. Why?
Probably your computer has too little memory for this application. Try to reduce the numbers in
-l1 1000000 -l2 1000000 -l3 1000000 -nl1 1000000


To see how the ethnicity of the workforce compares to that of the local population and to that of the people you support. The data is also used to look at employment trends across different groups and to inform recruitment plans.

For those of you that are concerned with design patterns for ajax check out this site :
[http://ajaxpatterns.org/](http://ajaxpatterns.org/)
I have to say that that site is a real gem. I for one am concerned with usability and am not discriminating so I think the leap to accessibility is only very small. We are planning an application that is ajaxed and should still be completely usable by blind users which will be intresting to build.
In preparation for this i stumbled upon http://www.maxkiesler.com/index.php/weblog/comments/how_to_make_your_ajax_applications_accessible/
That page has got about 40 links to sites that discuss accesibility in an ajaxed world.
The last issue I’m facing is the fact that because asp.NET renders webresource urls that are incredibly long. The w3 xhtml validator won’t validate my pages and only because of this url. I want to render valid xhtml 1.1 pages. So that’s something I will be looking at in the next few weeks when I’ve got some spare time.

No, IIRC the "slaming" was needed to ensure the correct activation of the T/O specific mode, or something like that. Perhaps something to do with the reheat, too.

Go Around & reheat
Thanks for this wonderful thread. Apologies from a non-aviator, but was reheat used in the event of a go around? Did its use depend on conditions, or was it a straightforward yes/no answer?

'Dry' thrust was used for a go-around, except in the case of wind shear when 'contingency' was used. (A bit more than full thrust and reheat).

This
post mentions that on three engines, dropping to subsonic, Concorde would lose 30 - 35% range. Much more of a reduction than subsonic planes, but still enough to get to a safe airfield.
On two engines it'll still fly, although with a further reduction in range and possible loss of some hydraulic systems (depends which engines failed). If I remember correctly, there was some mention of a possible single-engine (plus reheat) go-around, which suggests that at landing weight it might have been able to maintain flight on only one engine. |

...Being that the Concorde looks like a slippery sob, how were the descents planned?... The distance required to decel/descend from M2.0 in cruise/climb down to 3,000 at 250 kts was obtained from a checklist chart. Entering with the (expected) FL at Top of Descent and then correcting for the average wind component expected in the descent and also for the temperature deviation from ISA gave the required track miles. It wasn\x92t used a lot, because generally the more critical descent requirement was to decelerate so as to be (just) below M1.0 at a specified point on the arrival route, for noise reasons, to avoid booming land. There was a second chart, utilised in the same way as the first, which provided this information. Sometimes this distance might need to be increased a little, as, if a subsonic cruise was expected before continuing the approach, the engines were \x93warmed\x94 up at M0.97 and after passing FL410, by the application of power, for one minute, by the Flight Engineer. ...Did you just pull the throttles back to flight idle?... Only if you were willing to run the risk four pop surges from the engines and the near certainty of a clip round the ear from your Flight Engineer. Usually the pilots handled the throttles from \x93Power Up to Gear Up\x94 and from \x93Gear Down to Shut Down\x94. The Flight Engineer generally did all the rest, which, thankfully, left all the tricky drills and procedures as his responsibility. ...Or was there a little more engine management and more gradual handling of the engines and descent?... On a normal decel/descent, the handling pilot would select ALT HOLD and then ask the Flight Engineer to reduce power to 18\xba TLA (Throttle Lever Angle). The speed would decay to 350 kts IAS (Indicated Air Speed) IAS HOLD was engaged and the descent flown at 350 kts IAS. The next power reduction (32\xba TLA) came when, still flying at 350 kts IAS, the Mach number reduced through M1.50. ...And I'm guessing the approach speeds were fairly high so hitting the touchdown zone was pretty important?... In terms of not running off the end of the runway, touching down in the correct spot was as important on Concorde as on other aircraft types. However, due to the geometry of Concorde on landing, the tail, engine pods and reverser buckets were already fairly close to the runway. Add in a \x93firm\x94 touchdown, or if the wings are not completely level, and ground clearance becomes marginal, so a prolonged flare and floated landing, with an increasing aircraft attitude, was not acceptable. The risk of a pod, tail or a reverser bucket scrape on Concorde was greater than on most conventional jet aircraft. ... So if things got out of shape a little, and a G/A was required, how do you handle what looks like 4 rockets on the wings and applying the right amount of power?...

Phew! What a fantastic read.
After about a week of 3-hour nights (not much on the telly) I have finally got to the end of this thread. Let me echo others in praising the patience and technical openness of the main engineering contributors, along with the excellent recollections of the pilots, cabin staff and many others.
I am afraid I have only been on Concorde around a dozen times, and as I live a few miles from Duxford, you'll probably guess that's 101 now in Hangar 1. Standing in the cabin I can only imagine the experience of actually flying in her, but you guys have certainly bought her back to life in my mind at least. While reading the thread I came up with many questions (around ten or so) and these have been answered in later exchanges on the thread, however I do have a few left over: 1. The speed freak in me always wants to know "how fast"? Notwithstanding the principles outlined on p.55 by CliveL and M2Dude, if the intake system were somehow made "more leaky" and reheat were applied, in theory at least, how much more thrust could the 4 engines produce, in "ideal" conditions (I saw somewhere that -80C had been encountered)? If you then extrapolate the drag, what sort of peak Mach number might be attainable in short bursts (ignoring for now the detrimental effect on the airframe?) 2. There was a discussion or two of the (highly theoretical, expensive and unlikely) prospect of restoring one of the airframes back to flight around p22. However I don't think I saw 101 or 102 mentioned in any of these discussions, are these even further 'gone' (101 having sat outside for 20 years)? On the other hand, would the lack of sponge-like insulation mean less corrosion might have set in? 3. Again on p.55 there is mention of (naff) paint schemes and their bad effect on skin temperature. Was the paint on Concorde specifically chosen to radiate infrared (for example) to help cooling? The SR-71 (which I also visit at Duxford regularly - how lucky am I!) of course is matt black, which presumably radiates even better? When the airframe attained thermal equilibrium at the top of the cruise, what were the relative contributions to cooling of: radiation, cold uncompressed air passing over parts of the skin, the internal aircon (cooling from the inside), etc? 4. M2Dude referred a couple of times to robbing spares from other airframes. Spares that may have been 5-8 years old? What sort of testing regime must these spare parts go through to ensure they are still fit for flight? Is it labour-intensive? If I can opine (at the risk of having M2Dude chastise me if he still reads this - as I am not staff) the computer he mentioned on page 37 sounds to me very much like a "bit slice" computer. These were typically constructed from discrete logic and quite often had very long words - 64 or 128 bits. I only ever saw one of these in my 30-year career in computing, a rare beast indeed. And yes I remember that Mil Spec TTL - back in the day I used to pop the lid off the ceramic packages and you can look at the gates, and even watch the silicon glow if you apply a bit too much Vcc! But I digress. Thanks again for a fascinating thread. Last edited by a_q; 4th Apr 2015 at 20:12 . |

There was a certification requirement for descent time from FL600 down to FL100 if I recall correctly. Can't remember the value though. In flight reverse was developed to trim some fraction of a minute off the time to get inside the requirement @ a_q Not sure what you mean by a "leaky" intake. At about 2.2M the first shock would hit the intake lower lip and from that point on the total intake mass flow was frozen. Increased engine mass flow could only be obtained by reducing bleed flow and that gave higher engine face flow distortions driving the engine towards surge and lower intake recovery. So engine mass flow was effectively fixed also. Then the amount of "dry" fuel which could be added was limited because the higher Mach number increased the engine entry temperature but the maximum turbine entry temperature was fixed. You could add thrust by using reheat, but you would not get as much as you would like because the final nozzle, being designed for 2.0M would be too small for optimum efficiency at higher Mach numbers. Overall, IIRC we got to 2.23M in flight test. If you pushed me I would say it might be possible with reheat etc to get to 2.25 or 2.26M, but it would be a blind guess! |

@ BN2A
I'm sure the real experts will "adjust" my understanding - but I believe Concorde, loaded for the transatlantic "Sierra" routes, could hit about 5000 fpm peak VS when climbing at 400 KIAS between ~10,000 and ~28,000 feet (wherever 400 KIAS = M 0.99). Leaving a coastal airport (New York, Barbados, Dakar), she would quickly be clear of land and could more or less transition directly through Mach 1 as soon as she reached 28-30,000 feet. Those 4 Olympus engines could maintain Mach 2 with no afterburner at 50,000+ feet, so they had tons of excess power down low. Again my understanding is that they stayed at 100% dry thrust from brake release until TOD (except for subsonic cruise segments), with the AB added for takeoff, and when accelerating from Mach 0.96 through Mach 1.7. Mach 2.00 was reached in about 30 minutes @ ~51,300 feet, depending on atmospherics - a relatively long slow slog compared to the initial climb and acceleration. From inland airports such PDG or Heathrow, there was a "pause" for level subsonic cruise (M 0.94-0.96) in the high 20s until clear of the coastline by 20 miles (over La Manche or the mouth of the Bristol Channel.) @ leb001 - greenhouse visor, BA livery, and short tail - probably G-AXDN (aircraft 101). Although I'll defer to the experts, as always. |

Opinion mining (sometimes known as sentiment analysis or emotion AI) refers to the use of natural language processing, text analysis, computational linguistics, and biometrics to systematically identify, extract, quantify, and study affective states and subjective information. Sentiment analysis is widely applied to voice of the customer materials such as reviews and survey responses, online and social media, and healthcare materials for applications that range from marketing to customer service to clinical medicine.
A basic task in sentiment analysis is classifying the polarity of a given text at the document, sentence, or feature/aspect level—whether the expressed opinion in a document, a sentence or an entity feature/aspect is positive, negative, or neutral. Advanced, "beyond polarity" sentiment classification looks, for instance, at emotional states such as "angry", "sad", and "happy".

The Paris Agreement was finalized at a global climate conference in 2015 and entered into force in November 2016. More than two hundred parties signed the deal - only Syria and Nicaragua have failed - and committed to voluntary reductions in carbon emissions with the goal of keeping global temperature increases below 2°C.”
Donald Trump announced in June 2017 that the United States will exit the Paris Agreement. By withdrawing, the United States—the second-largest global emitter—could undercut collective efforts to reduce emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, and lock in future climate measures. In a worst case scenario, the US withdrawal could add 0.3ºC to global temperatures by the end of the century.
The big question now is how other countries will respond to Mr. Trump’s withdrawal: Do they keep pressing ahead with climate action anyway, or does the accord start to unravel without the United States? Leaders in Europe, China and India have insisted that they will carry on tackling global warming without the United States. But the precise shape of future climate talks remains an open question. One possibility is that, with the world’s second-largest emitter pulling out, other countries may feel less pressure to step up their own plans to curb greenhouse gases. “Other governments and industries could say, if the United States is being less ambitious, why should we take on these extra costs?” said Elliot Diringer, executive vice president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. Mr. Trump has vowed to cancel all future payments, and developing nations in Africa and Asia may now prove less eager to tackle their emissions as a result. What is every country doing until now about renewable energy?

(##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text src/test/pkg/ServiceTest.kt:13:Error: The notification id cannot be 0 [NotificationId0] service.startForeground(0, notification) // ERROR 1: cannot be zero - src/test/pkg/ServiceTest.kt:14:Error: The notification id cannot be 0 [NotificationId0] service.startForeground(MY_ID, notification, 1) // ERROR 2: cannot be zero ----- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the source file referenced above: `src/test/pkg/ServiceTest.kt`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~kotlin linenumbers package test.pkg import android.app.Notification import android.app.Service private const val MY_ID = 0 class ServiceTest { fun test(service: Service, notification: Notification, unknownId: Int) { service.startForeground(unknownId, notification) // OK: don't know service.startForeground(-1, notification) // OK: valid id service.startForeground(1, notification, 0) // OK: valid id service.startForeground(0, notification) // ERROR 1: cannot be zero service.startForeground(MY_ID, notification, 1) // ERROR 2: cannot be zero } } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can also visit the [source code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/InvalidNotificationIdDetectorTest.kt) for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios. (##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Using a suppression annotation like this on the enclosing element: ```kt // Kotlin @Suppress("NotificationId0") fun method() { startForeground(...) } ``` or ```java // Java @SuppressWarnings("NotificationId0") void method() { startForeground(...); } ``` * Using a suppression comment like this on the line above: ```kt //noinspection NotificationId0 problematicStatement() ``` * Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="NotificationId0" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'NotificationId0' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore NotificationId0 ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).


USD/INR Technical Analysis: Signs of indecision between 50-bar EMA, weekly trendline
by Anil Panchal- USD/INR stays below the one-week-old falling trend line.
- 50-bar EMA has been limiting the pair’s downside since November 07.
- The month-start top will follow the breakdown.
USD/INR remains below near-term resistance line while still managing to trade beyond 50-day EMA. That said, the quote takes rounds to 71.75 by the early Asian session on Friday.
While an upside clearance of a one-week-old falling trend line, at 72.00, will trigger fresh run-up to the monthly top surrounding 72.38. pair’s declines below 50-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) level of 71.72 can drag prices to the November 01 high near 71.30.
Additionally, the September month high near 72.65 and the 70.37/36 area, including lows marked on August 08 and also in September, could entertain traders during the pair’s break of either 72.38 or 71.30 respectively.
It should also be noted that the 14-bar Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been under pressure off-late, which in turn favors sellers more than otherwise.

Introductions and the like.
Ground rules for the day
- Breaks are scheduled, but take breaks when you need to.
- Participation makes this better.
- Ask lots of questions, anytime.
- You're here because you matter.
Agenda
Times subject to change depending on what we need.
- 9:00-9:45: Introductions, what is UX, and today's challenge
- 9:45-10:30: Research & Goals
- 10:30-11:15: Information Architecture
- 11:15-11:30: Break
- 11:30-12:00: Sketching/Wireframing
- 12:00-12:45: Design Review
- 12:45-1:00: Q&A/Parking Lot Review/What's Next
Things we'll learn today
- What UX is
- What UX is not
- An overview of the UX field
- UX activities & involvement through projects
- How to do some of the key activities
What is UX?
User experience design is a set of activities and philosophies that ensure users’ needs are understood, addressed, and – ideally – surpassed.
UX can encompass many other disciplines, and many other disciplines can encompass UX.
User experience design without user research is not user experience design.
User interface design is not user experience design.
...so why do the research and everything else that goes with it?
You are not your user!
Let's talk about good and bad experiences.
Not in life. Well... maybe in life.
UX is an enormous field.
Since definitions vary, what's included in a job is going to
vary from organization to organization.
Some companies hire generalists. Some hire specialists.
Knowing a little of everything is a good idea.
You don't have to code.
You do have to know the mediums you're working in.
Today's challenge!
Design a small site and flow for a site that sells jeans.
Why research?
In short: it's the foundation of understanding.
Some types of research
- Stakeholder interviews
- User interviews
- Competitive analysis
- Current state evaluation
- Ethnographic research
- Focus groups
- Analytic analysis
It's research time.
Here's what we're going to do:
- Identify questions that help gain understanding.
- Break up into groups of 3.
- Designate an interviewee, a moderator, and a notetaker.
Questions
- Tell me about the last time you bought something online.
- What's the most important thing to you when buying jeans?
- If you could change one thing about buying jeans, what would it be?
Let's analyze the information we've got.
Some things we're looking for:
- Trends
- Common ideas, thoughts
- Outliers
Note that we're not looking for solutions yet.
What is IA?
Only the most important thing ever!
OK, that might be a bit much, but it's pretty darned vital.
Information architecture is a way of organizing,
naming, and structuring information.
“Information architecture is the way that we arrange the parts of something to make it understandable.” - Abby Covert
- Language
- Iconography
- Priority
- Consistency
A good information architecture makes sense.
And we notice
when it doesn't.
It's time to gather and organize.
Here's what we're going to do:
- Grab Post-Its and answer a few simple questions.
- Group and name items together.
- Prioritize what matters most.
One answer per Post-It, please.
- What are the qualifiers for a pair of jeans?
- What information matters?
Now let's group items and name them.
Wireframing is a way to express a flow through a process or individual screens in a product.
Wireframes may be presented in different levels of fidelity, depending upon what’s needed.
- Low fidelity: Sketches, napkins, Post-Its, whiteboards. Rough!
- Medium fidelity: Additional detail where needed, especially for critical interactions/content/flows
- High fidelity: Everything is accounted for!
It's time to sketch wireframes.
Here's what we're going to do: a design charrette!
- 6-up / 3-up / 1-up individually.
- 1-up as teams.
- Present your work.
What we'll be sketching
The product details page for our jean-selling site. This is the page where people can
actually buy the jeans, see what they look like, and so forth.
What's a design review?
It's a way to evaluate how successful or unsuccessful the design is as a part
of your overall feedback cycle.
Design reviews can be formal, informal, or somewhere in-between. This isn’t quite
a critique – where we’re all internally discussing and judging the work – but
it’s close.
And that's it!
Thank you.

Guidance
This guide explains to academy trusts how to seek approval to make special severance payments.
This guide is for academy trust accounting officers and finance staff considering making special severance payments. It explains what you should consider before making any such payments, and how to seek approval from the Education Funding Agency ( EFA ) for payments of or over £50,000, or for any value where an Financial Notice to Improve ( FNtI ) is in place.
Special severance payments are paid to employees, contractors and others outside of normal statutory or contractual requirements when leaving employment in public service whether they resign, are dismissed or reach an agreed termination of contract. You can read more in section A4.13A of the HM Treasury publication Managing Public Money .
Severance payments, specifically non-contractual elements, are always under close scrutiny. The National Audit Office published a report on severance payments in June 2013 and the Public Accounts Committee followed this up shortly afterwards.
You should:
You should then take the following steps:
A severance payment may not always be the right approach: for example, severance payments must not be made to staff with poor performance, and EFA and HM Treasury will not approve such payments.
Appraise any course of action with the associated costs and the likelihood of winning. If there is a good chance of the academy trust winning the case you will also need to demonstrate why this route was not taken and instead, a payment was made to the employee. You should balance the legal and management costs against the level of payout.
This must take account of the academy’s own internal processes and employment law.
Following any legal advice, can a change from the settlement value actually be justified? A severance payment is made from the public purse and therefore value for money has to be demonstrated.
For example, that pupil performance has been affected by a lack of continuity of teaching due to absence or teaching by temporary staff.
Academy trusts must ensure that the use of confidentiality clauses associated with staff severance payments do not prevent an individual’s right to make disclosures in the public interest (whistleblowing) under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 .
For non-contractual payments of or over £50,000 you must seek prior approval using the academies severance payments form .
Please send your completed form to EFA using the enquiry form. You can find a link to this at the end of the page.
EFA will then review the details and either:
Non-contractual payments under £50,000 are not required by HM Treasury for prior approval. However, you have to be able to show you applied the same level of scrutiny to a payment as if it were over the £50,000 delegation.
EFA expects academy trusts to have a business case for any non-contractual severance payment and to provide this to EFA in a timely manner if requested.
If the academy is unable to show they have treated the payment correctly, we reserve the right to claw back the payment.
In some circumstances the re-payment may not be requested. However, EFA may conduct a visit and impose sanctions in relation to any further severance cases. In extreme circumstances EFA may issue a Financial Notice to Improve, which withdraws the academy freedoms. Further information about Financial Notices to Improve can be found in sections 1.5.6 to 1.5.9 of the Academies Financial Handbook .
Where an academy trust is subject to a Financial Notice to Improve, this withdraws the delegated authority limit. As such any non-contractual payments, irrespective of value, should be sent through to EFA for prior approval.
HM Treasury review a sample of all non-contractual severance payments made from 1 September 2012 onwards, to ensure the delegated authorities are working effectively.
For the financial period up to 31 August 2013 the outcomes were as follows:
Section 7.5.1 of the Academies Accounts Direction explains how academies should disclose severance payments within the financial statements. These should be aggregated in staff restructuring costs, within the staff costs note. Further written disclosure is then required for non-statutory/non-contractual payments on an individual basis.
Academy auditors will verify the value of compensation payments included within the staff costs note as part of the statutory audit and regularity engagement. Auditors will also look at whether prior approval was obtained.

Sensitive Skin? Here Are 11 Stunning Eczema-Friendly Makeup Products
by mbg Beauty and Lifestyle Senior EditorFor those with easily irritated, red, and inflamed skin, makeup is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it covers up flare-ups. But on the other? It can be the reason for the irritation in the first place. That's why those with sensitive skin, especially eczema, need to be especially careful with their skin care and makeup choices.
But don't worry: "Careful" doesn't need to mean boring. Just check out the options below.
However, I will advise you to patch-test. It's a good idea for anyone but especially true if your skin gets angry more easily.
Alima Pure Liquid Silk Foundation
Mineral bases tend to be the best bet for sensitive skin folk. But on the flip side, those with dryness loathe the feeling of powder as it seems to soak up much-needed moisture. This liquid foundation blends the best of both worlds: mineral foundation that's hydrating too. It comes in 10 shades, and the range is very diverse.
Liquid Silk Foundation , Alima Pure ($42)
Jane Iredale Glow Time Mineral BB Cream Full Coverage
Another mineral favorite, this offers medium to full coverage for days when you have any redness you want to cover up. Plus, it has a mineral SPF, which is great for those who find layering on an additional SPF too irritating. This, too, comes in plenty of shades and has color-matching technology to blend in effortlessly.

Colorscience Natural Finish Pressed Foundation SPF 20
OK, let's say you don't love liquid foundations but are also too dry for mineral powders: This pressed foundation is the perfect blend. Its lightweight texture shears out to buffer tone and even texture—but has a blend of sensitive-skin-safe oils to help keep skin feeling moisturized.
 This is super-moisturizing and easy to build, so you can cover as much or as little as you want.

W3LL People Expressionist Volumizing Mascara
Contact dermatitis—a form of eczema that comes from using irritating products—is especially prevalent around the eyes. And since many people are irritated by preservatives often found in traditional mascara, you might find it beneficial to switch to a natural option that uses more gentle preservatives.

Cocokind Mai-Light Maitake Rose Skin Nourishing Highlighter

This clean bronzer is perfect for those with light skin tones—a swipe of bronzer can give you that easy sun-kissed gleam on days when you feel nothing but blotchy and red.

Tower28 Beauty Superdew Shimmer Free Highlighter
This brand was founded on the ethos that sensitive skin products don't have to be boring. This highlighter is proof. It imparts that dewy, almost-glassy glow so coveted by the Cool Girl Instagram demographic.

Rituel de Fille Inner Glow Cream Blush
This blush—and brand—has a devoted following for a reason. Not only does the dreamy cream texture melt in effortlessly, but it comes in 11 dynamic shades. (No matter your skin tone or look, you'll find one you enjoy.) This natural blush with natural pigments is ideal for those with dryness and who are easily affected by synthetic dyes.

VMV Hypoallergenics Two True Hues Eyeshadow Duo
This brand was founded on the idea that those with skin that's touchy to allergens still deserve to have a little fun. And if that's you, look no further than their 15 eye-shadow duos (that range from this playful blue to basic nudes). These sets are clean and loaded with ingredients that are not only safe for sensitive eyes but good for it, like green tea and monolaurin.

Burt's Bees Nourishing Eyeliner Pencil
Again, eyes tend to be more sensitive areas. This ophthalmologist-tested option is almost fully natural, made with skin-feeding oils like jojoba. This is why it glides on so easily and won't tug at the delicate area.
Nourishing Eyeliner Pencil , Burt's Bees ($9.99)
Aveeno Positively Radiant Maxglow Serum Primer
I'm rarely one to wear a primer—like, if ever—but it can add a gentle, moisturizing, and even protective layer between you and your makeup. Aveeno is a favorite drugstore brand that specializes in cleaner and hypoallergenic formulas. This light primer will cushion skin when you need it most.

The attractiveness of the message-passing paradigm at least partially stems from its wide portability. Programs expressed this way may run on distributed-memory multiprocessors, networks of workstations, and combinations of all of these. In addition, shared-memory implementations are possible. The paradigm will not be made obsolete by architectures combining the shared- and distributed-memory views, or by increases in network speeds. It thus should be both possible and useful to implement this standard on a great variety of machines, including those ``machines" consisting of collections of other machines, parallel or not, connected by a communication network.
The interface is suitable for use by fully general MIMD programs, as well as those written in the more restricted style of SPMD. Although no explicit support for threads is provided, the interface has been designed so as not to prejudice their use. With this version of MPI no support is provided for dynamic spawning of tasks.
MPI provides many features intended to improve performance on scalable parallel computers with specialized interprocessor communication hardware. Thus, we expect that native, high-performance implementations of MPI will be provided on such machines. At the same time, implementations of MPI on top of standard Unix interprocessor communication protocols will provide portability to workstation clusters and heterogenous networks of workstations. Several proprietary, native implementations of MPI, and a public domain, portable implementation of MPI are in progress at the time of this writing [17,13].


Devised a simplified user input interface for adding text, video and image data. It allows for drag-and-drop arranging/re-arranging of elements once they have been added to the page.
The Living Museum program turns children into museum curators complete with an exhibition (typically in a school hall for one afternoon).
This tool leaves a more lasting impression that can be shared with friends and family even after the event has concluded. The software allows students to document their own artefacts from objects in their family, and their teachers to construct a complete exhibition sub-site.
In addition to scaffolding the exhibition for the children, interfaces were devised for their teachers and museum administrators. Site layout and page flow kept as simple as possible, with streamlined worflows for the 3 user types. Data relationships were kept as simple as possible.
New-York Historical Society’s extensive revolution-related collection of artifacts and documents were made available through the Web.
The site featured a web based collections management application (CMA) used by many researchers, whose content fed straight into the website collection. Build-an-exhibition feature that enabled students and visitors to curate their own exhibitions online.

The call to askPassword()
in the code below should check the password and then call user.loginOk/loginFail
depending on the answer.
But it leads to an error. Why?
Fix the highlighted line for everything to start working right (other lines are not to be changed).
```js run function askPassword(ok, fail) { let password = prompt(“Password?”, ’’); if (password == “rockstar”) ok(); else fail(); }
let user = { name: ‘John’,
loginOk() { alert(${this.name} logged in
); },
loginFail() { alert(${this.name} failed to log in
); },
};
! askPassword(user.loginOk, user.loginFail); /! ```
