I had a chance recently to hear Jonathan Kozol speak. If you ever get such a chance, take it. He is magical in person. Kozol is 60, a Boston native, and grew up along the well-trodden path of the Boston brahmin: Harvard University, Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, four years writing in Paris, and ready to go to graduate school in 1964 when the Civil Rights movement caught fire and inspired Kozol to join the battle. Thousands of young Northerners descended on Mississippi to fight segregation. At least three of them died there. But Kozol didn't go to Mississippi. He went across Boston, from Harvard Square, to Roxbury. He went to the A.M.E. church and asked what he could do to help. Soon he was teaching summer school reading to dozens of inner-city children. He went to work as a substitute teacher in Boston's public school system. He was fired two years later for reading Langston Hughes to fourth-graders. But he kept working, writing, and teaching in New York and Boston inner city public schools. A lifetime later, he's still at it. He has spent a great deal of time in one particular district in the South Bronx. You can read about it in his last two books. He spoke of Morris High School, in the South Bronx, where there are 1,200 ninth-graders. If the present is like the past, 90 will reach 12th grade, and 65 will graduate. And while people celebrate the reduction of the symbols of the Confederacy in Georgia and South Carolina as civil rights victories, Kozol's report from his front in the war is rather more grim. The average family income of the children he works with is $10,000 a year. A quarter of the children have chronic asthma, which they treat with inhalers they buy illegally from drug dealers.  And their "price tag" is $8,000 -- that's how much the state spends to educate them each year (take NYC cost of living into account when comparing to your town). If they lived in a typical white suburb of New York City, their price tag would be $12,000; in a wealthy town on Long Island, $18,000. "So, we say in church and in synagogue ... we say all children are of value in the eyes of God," Kozol said here. "And in the eyes of God, I'm sure they are. But not in the eyes of America. In the eyes of America, children come into public schools with price tags printed on their foreheads. The ones I write about are inexpensive children, cheap children." And he also said this: "Whenever I go into a school and don't see any white children anywhere, I think, 'this is segregation.' And so I write in my books that these are segregated schools.  So he went and got statistics. "In this district, there are 11,000 elementary school children. Of those 11,000 children, last year, exactly 22 were white. Now, I'm not terrific at arithmetic ...but I can do long division. That is a segregation rate of 99.8 percent. So two-tenths of 1 percent marks the difference between legally enforced apartheid in the South 50 years ago, and socially and economically enforced apartheid in New York today." Kozol said you go to any urban school in America, and "you look at the faces of the children, you look in their eyes, and you try to tell yourself that this post-modern and millennial apartheid is what all our martyrs died for." So, what flag do we run down to fix this? New York's? And do the people who know so much about what's going on in Mississippi's schools know what's going on in the ones on the other side of the town where they live and write?

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
A free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents.


A few months ago, my journey through the world of psychoactive substances finally led me to an inpatient rehab. After years of responsible (well sort of) experimentation I finally fell into the hellish trap of opiate addiction. This was not brought on by recreational use. I was suffering from a severe dental abscess without recourse to expensive medical treatment.
I was living with my sister, who had been an opiate addict for some years. It was all too easy to slip into pain-killer addiction under such conditions. Having a heroin dealer living next door did not help. My sister constantly warned me of my dangerous position, but I was driven insane by pain and cared little for consequences, if the pain would just go away long enough for me to work and sleep.
After about 2 years of barely managing to survive with this monkey on my back growing into a baboon, then a chimp and finally a 500 lb gorilla, I was on the verge of total collapse. I was sick almost all the time, barely able to work to support my habit, and beginning to dabble in the typical male junky occupation of theft. I could tell that the end was approaching.
Luckily, one of the best rehabs in the country is located in my city and has a program allowing for free treatment if I survive the extended waiting period. During the week before being admitted, I was on 35 mg methadone plus $20 of heroin and 5-10 mg of a-MT per day. The day before admission I took my 35 mg methadone and 300 mg tramadol.
Now this rehab primarily uses buprenorphine for opiate withdrawal. Bupe is an unusual partial agonist opioid that can precipitate severe withdrawals if taken too soon after the last dose of a real opiate. So basically I had to wait until I was in full withdrawal to take the bupe. Generally this takes 6-12 hrs for heroin and 20-24 hrs for methadone. The tramadol, however, kept withdrawal at bay for over 36 hrs and I was able to make the transition to bupe without experiencing any withdrawals whatsoever.
In my opinion, buprenorphine is nothing short of a miracle drug. It completely eliminated my withdrawal symptoms, and due to its unique receptor binding profile and extremely long duration, there is no yo-yo effect typical of other opiates. By yo-yo effect, I mean the never ending cycle of high-sick-high-sick. I felt sober and stable, as if I were not even an opiate addict.
My month in rehab turned out to be one of the best in my life. The program was a balanced mix of spiritual and medical approaches. Weekly chi-gung classes and daily classes on a wide variety of recovery-related topics kept me busy and interested from 7 am to 9 pm. I met many fascinating people in rehab, and got to know some people I already knew better. Through meditation and chakra excercises, I was able to enter profound states of enhanced conciousness and had several very intense experiences of a transcendental/spiritual nature.
Unfortunately I was not able to stay as long as I needed to, and ended up walking out of there sick with no home, job or money. No follow-up meds, nothing, just see ya later if you survive. I managed to stay clean and sick until about the fifth or sixth day. The sickness and pain continued to increase until I just snapped and essentially just totally lost it. I entered a highly dissociated state in which I was barely aware of the pain, but was wandering the streets hallucinating, talking to hallucinatory friends and periodically losing conciousness entirely. Having no other choice, I opted to go back on methadone so I could function and work.
The first day back on methadone I took a 20mg dose of a-MT (a large dose for me) and met a similarly burnt-out, tripped-out temporarily clean junkie fresh out of jail and we hit it off. We went to an NA meeting, me tripping pretty good and that night we slept in a grove of trees on an empty field. Over the next couple months we lived together in a motel room provided by his PO, ate out of dumpsters and trash cans and slowly we both managed to get jobs and work our way towards a stable life. My new-found friend was a very bizarre and interesting person like myself and at first we seemed to share similar goals of achieving stability and going back to school. But opiate addiction is a tenacious disease, and before long we were both back in the thick of it.
My friend ended up having to flee the state because of his PO and I ended up living alternately with my sister and my mother. I now am working regularly and only shooting up occasionally and sporadically, so I guess I am somewhat better off than I was. I apologize for the rambling and brainless nature of this report but I hope it contains some info that may be useful or at least entertaining to someone.

THE GODFATHER: PART II A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 1998
The real importance of any movie can't be adequately appraised solely by the box- office success or critical response, or even combination of both. Movies, no matter how popular or critically acclaimed, cease to be important when the passage of time erases them from collective memory. Only those films that defy such oblivion are really grand, and the nice example are first two movies of the Godfather Saga. Their grandness can be seen not only in their quality and the influence that had over the generations, but also by the endless debate that lasts among the critics and film scholars until this day. The debate was created due to the fact that the second movie of the Saga, THE GODFATHER: PART II, represents one of the first examples of now generally despised practice in modern Hollywood - making sequels out of the successful, great movies. Such practice earned the utter disdain of contemporary critics because the sequels almost always fail to meet the hard standards of its predecessors, and, more often than not, succeed only in tarnishing their great memory. However, in 1970s, during the golden age of so-called "New Hollywood" such rule wasn't universal, and some films turned out to be even better than the first in the series. THE GODFATHER: PART II by Francis Ford Coppola is often referred as one of them.
Reason for the high status of THE GODFATHER: PART II lies in the fact that the sequel to THE GODFATHER, very personal movie, was authored by the very same author with very same personal agenda. While the other sequels usually serve as nothing more than easy way for unimaginative producers to cash on previous successes, THE GODFATHER: PART II was a nice opportunity for Coppola to experiment, correct some possible flaws or even answer to critics of his previous work. Luckily, in the atmosphere that encouraged creative freedom, Coppola also used the immense resources of big Hollywood studios, whose chiefs gave him an utmost control of his work. The biggest and most serious objection to THE GODFATHER was Coppola's allegedly apologetic portrayal the Mafia - portrayal that would encourage similar more or less apologetic movie stereotypes in decades to come. Coppola was accused of showing organised crime more noble and less violent than it actually was - his Mafiosi are shown as dedicated family men, opposed to narcotics and any unnecessary violence, and in some way even better alternative to legitimate government. In his second part of the saga, Coppola intended to use the story of the first part to paint more realistic and, consequently, much darker picture.
The plot of the movie is rather complex, thanks to the revolutionary yet ingenious idea by Coppola to mix two stories. First one begins roughly one decade after the events of the first GODFATHER, with Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) now tightly in control of the Corleone crime family, left to him by his late and charismatic father Vito in the previous film. The second story deals with young Vito Corleone (Robert de Niro), first as boy forced to flee to America from Sicilian Mafiosi who had killed his entire family, then as young immigrant who must turn to crime in order to feed his wife and children. Those two stories are connected by good editing and Coppola's directorial techniques (the example in the beggining is the scene when 9-year old Vito Corleone that morphs into another scene, with Vito's 9-year old grandson), although at times the transition isn't so smooth or symbolic.
The story of young Vito Corleone seems more pleasing for the viewer, and is definitely more fascinating. Coppola obviously enjoyed recreating the harsh life of his Italian American ancestors, and he even indulged himself with the little humouristic episode that would remain the sole uplifting piece in this otherwise extremely grim and pessimistic movie. Robert de Niro was perfectly cast as young Vito, and his legendary method acting techniques - like living in Sicily in order to perfect the use of local dialect and accent - are here in full swing. Vito Corleone in his early years is as charming as he was charismatic in his GODFATHER incarnation. Sympathetic portrayal in the previous movie wasn't accidental - Corleone is shown as basically honest human being who is simply driven to the other side of law by harsh circumstances. Ironically, Corleone was actually the victim of Mafia in his youth - first, by losing his family, then by losing his job (his employer being forced to find job for mafioso's relative) - but he became first the member, than the leader of that very same organisation nevertheless.
His son Michael in the latter story is shadow, not only of his father, but of his own self being presented in THE GODFATHER - generally nice guy who transformed from idealistic youth into pragmatic maturity. Michael's plan to carry on with his father's ambitious plan brings disastrous results - he loses his family, the most important thing and the very reason he decided to follow the father's criminal footsteps in the first place. Lacking father's charisma, Michael leads the family with the iron hand, thus alienating his closest relatives - his sister Connie (Talia Shire) left her own children and turned to debauchery; her wife Kay (Diane Keaton), disgusted with the loss of her freedom and ideals, plotted the vengeance of Medean proportions; his weak and neglected brother Fredo (John Cazale) decided to prove his own identity by betrayal. Even the most loyal member of the family - adopted brother and family councillor Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) can feel Michael's loss of affection and desperately tries to regain it by speaking Italian, without any significant result. This segment is probably the darkest, least sentimental and most brutal part of the Godfather saga; Coppola obviously didn't like the object of his presentation and even the photography by Gordon Willis illustrates that - while the outside is sharply lit, the interiors of the Michael's luxurious buildings are mostly dark, symbolising the corruption and decay of his criminal empire.
Unfortunately, that segment was probably the weakest - weaker than the prologue and THE GODFATHER. The main reason lies in the screenplay by Coppola and Mario Puzo, and the plot that lacks coherence. This segment introduces two new major characters - Michael's underboss Frank Pentangelli (Michael V. Gazzo) and Jewish mobster Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg). Those two men has some serious inconsistencies in their characterisations. Pentangelli is at first simple street thug, only to be revealed as well-read cultivated man in the film's finale. Roth is also inconsistent - his character, based on Meyer Lansky, real life underworld legend, is someone too clever and experienced to allow himself to engage in something as doomed as investing in Cuba at the brink of the revolution. Those flaws are somewhat compensated with the great actors in those characters' roles. That can't be said for other plot problems - lack of clear explanation for the conflict between Michael and Roth, and many subplots dealing with the real life events and anecdotes dealing with Mafia (Valacchi testimony in the Senate and JFK assassination). Finally, the lack of originality is revealed at the end, when Coppola almost recreates his multiple massacre scene from the end of THE GODFATHER.
Despite repetitiveness and lack of originality, THE GODFATHER: PART II remains truly grand movie. Production design by Dean Tavoularis is superb (especially in the first segment); same can be said for the costumes by Theadora van Runkle (expensive white suit serves as wonderful character trait by Don Fanucci), but most of all the music by Nino Rota and Carmine Coppola is almost perfect. The lead actors are wonderful - Pacino, De Niro, Keaton, Shire, Cazale, Duvall, Gazzo, Strasberg, as well as those in supporting roles (Bruno Kirby as young Clemenza, Gastone Moschin as Don Fanucci, G.D. Spradlin as Senator Geary).
At the end of the day, perhaps even such great, "Oscar"-worthy film can suffer from dreaded "sequel syndrome". However, those flaws didn't prevent it from becoming a true classic, one of the pillars of modern cinemas, with its quality seldom matched. After almost quarter of century new viewers should be able to enjoy it - both those who didn't see THE GODFATHER and those who did.
RATING: 8/10 (+++)

The Difference Between Classes (Like In Ruby) And Prototypes (Like In JavaScript)
posted on November 9, 2015
Jump To Section....
The differences and similarities...
My previous blog post demonstrated classes in Object-Oriented programming (by using Ruby). This week at Dev Bootcamp, the material covered JavaScript. JavaScript, like Ruby, IS an Object-Oriented language. Hell, their "hashes"/"dictionaries" (for you Python folks out there) are literally called objects
. JavaScript (or JS for short) has tools that allow the code to be more modular, has "A PIE", which is a mnemonic that stands for Abstraction, Polymorphism, Inheritance, and Encapsulation. But JavaScript is unusual among programming languages in that it does not have true classes. It is a class-less language. Meaning, that it is not a "class-based" Object-Oriented language, but a prototypal-based Object Oriented language.
This basically means that instead of using a class as a blueprint for an instance of an object, JS uses objects that have constructors
to initialize new objects. How are constructors different from classes? In class-based languages, the class would have something to initialize the class. All Java classes have an init
method. All Ruby classes need an initialize
method.
JS constructors don't need one. For this reason, in JS, every function is potentially a constructor. In languages that have classes like Ruby, classes are special kinds of objects that create new instances. JS does not have things like these, but they have prototypes. Prototypes are objects, but they don't have special methods or properties specifically associated with it. Literally any object in JS can be a prototype.
Basically in prototype-based languages, there is no distinction between instances of an object. A good way to demonstrate these are through examples:
# Classical Inheritance With Ruby: class ExampleSuperclass def initialize @my_local_variable_1 @my_local_variable_2 end def my_getter_method @my_local_variable_1 end def my_setter_method(my_argument) @my_local_variale_1 = my_argument end end class ExampleSubclass < ExampleSuperclass # the "lesser than" lets ExampleSubclass inherit from ExampleSuperclass def initialize @my_local_variable_1 @my_local_variable_2 end def some_method #whatever code end end # instantiating objects w/ class-based language: new_thing = ExampleSuperclass.new another_thing = ExampleSubcleass.new
// Prototypal Inheritance With JavaScript: function ExampleSuper() { this.myLocalVariable1; this.myLocalVariable2; this.my_getter_method = function() { this.myLocalVariable1; } this.my_setter_method = function(My_argument) { this.myLocalVariable1 = my_argument; } } var ExampleSub = function() { ExampleSuper.call(this); // this line allows inheritance from ExampleSuper this.someMethod { //whatever code } } ExampleSub.prototype = Object.create(ExampleSuper.prototype); // instantiating objects with prototype-based language: var new_thing = new ExampleSub;
I hope that was sufficient to explain the similarities and differences. The main deal with prototypal-based languages is that objects inherit directly from other objects, whereas in class-based languages, objects are instances of a class, and classes inherit from their superclass/base class. As you can imagine, prototypal languages have advantages and disadvantages (same with class-based languages). Below, I've provided links to work that have explained these concepts more eloquently than I have.

--- title: Mock Server Clients shortTitle: Clients layout: page pageOrder: 3 section: 'Mock Server' subsection: true sitemap: priority: 0.8 changefreq: 'monthly' lastmod: 2015-04-18T22:40:27+01:00 ---
MockServer has the following clients:
All clients support:
Note: It is not necessary to use the provided clients because the MockServer web api is designed to be very simple JSON/HTTP so it is easy to interact directly with the MockServer with any HTTP client.
This section includes an overview with a few basic examples then a detailed description of the Java client API.
The client API consists of two main classes:
Both classes expose the same API as follows:
public class MockServerClient {
/**

This section includes an overview with a few basic examples then a detailed description of the JavaScript client API.
To interact with MockServer from JavaScript it is possible to use either:
To include the browser based in an HTML page use one of the following script tag to load the file from MaxCDN:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/jamesdbloom/mockserver/6a2fb42cb7933d0d68e7d595785a9b0536450825/mockserver-client-javascript/src/main/javascript/mockServerClient.js"></script>
To use the Node.js module add the following code to your node project:
var mockServer = require('mockserver-client'),
mockServerClient = mockServer.mockServerClient;
Both versions of mockServerClient provide the same API as follows:
var mockServerClient = function (mockServerUrl) {
"use strict";
/**
* The default headers added to to the mocked response when using mockSimpleResponse(...)

var defaultResponseHeaders = [

],
/**

At Flipkart, I was part of the team focussed on building post-purchase e-commerce customer experience. We designed & shipped order management to help customers Track, Return/Replace & Cancel order themselves on consumer app. We were the first Indian e-commerce startup to launch the self serve order management for consumer early in 2013.
Role:  Interaction Design - level II
Duration:  2014-15
Role:  Interaction Design - level II
Duration:  2014-15
Business goal (PHASE-1)
Reduce post-purchase customer calls to enquire on ‘how to return, refund & cancel order’.
Customer goal
Empower customers to manage their orders themselves i.e. inititiate return & cancel both on mobile & web.
Success Metrics
- % reduction in customer service calls for post-purchase concerns.
- % increase in online order management activities across platform: no of order returns/replacements/exchange & cancel.

- Contacting customer support
- Help
While we shipped the ability to Track, Return and Cancel orders online, the flipkart customers still continued to call customer support (CS) for help with these actions. As per CS call data the maximum calls were on:
Track Order CS calls: ’Whats going on with my order?’
Return Order CS calls: ’How do i return this order?’
Delivered Order Issue CS calls - ’Who can help me solve my order related problem?’
Track Order CS calls -
’Whats going on with my order?’
Return Order CS calls -
’How do i return this order?’
Delivered Order Issue CS calls -
’Who can help me solve my order related problem?’
Built a user journey map to identify touchpoints in web, msite & mobile app to improve discoverability of post-purchase features.
Improve discoverability and drive adoption of post-purchase, self-service features.
Reduce customer calls by x%
In most of the design solutioning (as shown below) my approach was not to change anything fundamental. But to make superficial changes to improve discoverability. The focus was on educating people and bringing them up to speed to start using the features.
We switched to rich-text sms to help customers track their order via:
get order status sms  - for without internet mobile users
url link in sms  - direct to msite track order page for internet enabled mobile users.
Also, used sms to collect feedback on post purchase experience to improve the service.
Business goal (PHASE-1)
- In the first month of launch, the average click through rate (CTR) of Track Order URLs in SMS performed better in metro cities which has more mobile internet users.
- Overall, the CTR was on 19% for URL in SMS, compared to just 4.2% for Emails.
During user testing, we tasked users to look for their Track Order related info on web & mobile app. We observed many of them ended up scanning homepage up & down, and very small % of them went to My Account in the top bar to discover their order related info.
Clearly, homepage was looked as a touchpoint where users could find everything they need easily and quickly. This led me to propose the Track Order (not-logged in users) and Order Status (logged-in users) widget in the zones of the highest visibility to catch user’s attention.
This proposal wasn’t considered as the identified zones were the most revenue generating touchpoints, reserved only for Offers & Deals showcase.
As per data Flipkart’s prominent search bar served as the fastest route to discovery for users on home page. Hence, I proposed on leveraging this touchpoint to enable user to track their order.
Problem
On interviewing and talking to several customers we concluded that after placing their order they didn’t know it can be tracked, cancelled or returned from My Order page. Many of them were also anxious about the next steps on their order delivery.
On web confirmation page customers were certainly missing the Track Order message & link to My Order page and same for mobile.
Solution
We introduced infograph on order deilvery process and placed it upfront. As per our findings from user testing the hierachy of this communication on web & mobile worked effectively in communicating the process.
We also introduced ‘Track, Cancel & Return’ message strip & card with big, clear CTA to guide user to My Order page.
Problem
As per data, users were ignoring self-serve actions for Track, Cancel & Return related issues and were instead going to email & chat to report the following:
’How do I cancel my order?’
’How do I get Invoice for my order?’
’How do I return?’
On investigating further we realized many didn’t notice these buttons placed in proximity to large Email & Chat clickable cards and few didn’t understand the purpose of these buttons.
Solution
We prioritized self-serve actions by incorporating them in a clickable card with big icons so that they are hard to miss.
The micro-copy was re-worked to following:
- A changed section heading ‘Get assistance’ to ‘Take Action or Get Assistance’ to communicate the ’self-serve’ purpose
- Introduced title text above self-serve CTAs to address user’s concerns.

NICK OF TIME A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1995 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 3.1
United States, 1995 U.S. Availability: 11/22/95 (wide) Running Length: 1:30 MPAA Classification: R (Violence, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken, Roma Maffia, Charles S. Dutton, Marsha Mason Director: John Badham Producer: John Badham Screenplay: Patrick Sheane Duncan Cinematography: Roy H. Wagner Music: Arthur B. Rubinstein U.S. Distributor: Paramount Pictures
"Real terror in real time": that's what NICK OF TIME promises. Unfortunately, that's not what it delivers. Sure, the film unfolds with one minute of screen time equaling one minute of theater time, but there's no hint of tension. About the only thing John Badham's lamely- directed thriller has in common with an Alfred Hitchcock production is the blatant rip-off of a camera shot from VERTIGO.
As a lead in a romantic comedy or a drama, Johnny Depp has shown considerable screen presence. Based on this performance, however, he's not cut out for thrillers. His Gene Watson is so incredibly bland that it's difficult to stay with him through ninety minutes. We need bad guys Christopher Walken and Roma Maffia to liven things up.
The premise, which is a case of wasted potential, has Watson and his young daughter, Lynn (Courtney Chase), disembarking from an Amtrack train in Los Angeles. As they're making their way through the station, Lynn is kidnapped and Gene is told that the only way he'll see her alive again is if he takes a gun and assassinates the liberal governor of California (Marsha Mason). Just to make sure he doesn't get cold feet or try to run to the nearest police officer, one of the bad guys (Walken) will be close at all times.
 The real reason that Walken's character wants the governor dead turns out to be incredibly feeble. Then there's the question of why the assassination plan has to be so convoluted, especially when almost everyone on the governor's staff appears to be involved. This motion picture rarely makes sense, even when you're not thinking too deeply about what's going on.
One has to question why Paramount chose to release this film as their big Thanksgiving offering. Originally, their intention was to open Tom Cruise's MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for the holiday, but those plans were scrapped early in the year. NICK OF TIME is a poor replacement, but there's a certain justice in showing this movie around the time of year best known for turkeys.

Watch: Sri Lankan spinner Kevin Koththigoda's quirky action going viral
by IANSHighlights
- Hailing from Galle, Koththigoda's action has been compared to that of former South African spinner Paul Adams
- Kevin is currently playing for Bangla Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T10 league
- Among the many things is that the action is being called 'frog in a blender 2.0', based on the nickname that was given to Adams
NEW DELHI: Sri Lanka has often produced great bowlers with unorthodox actions, with Lasith Malinga being a prime example. The latest in that list to have perplexed onlookers is 21-year-old spinner Kevin Koththigoda.
Hailing from Galle, Koththigoda's action has been compared to that of former South African spinner Paul Adams by his coach Dhammika Sudarshana. Koththigoda is playing for Bangla Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T10 league and a video of his perplexing action has gone viral on social media.
Among the many things is that the action is being called 'frog in a blender 2.0', based on the nickname that was given to Adams.
However, Koththigoda has said that he never saw Adams bowl while growing up and took a look at his action only when comparisons were made.
"From the beginning I was bowling like this, and I never changed through under-13, 15, 17 and 19 cricket in Sri Lanka," he is quoted as saying by The National.
 From there I began to play cricket, and I have kept this action since," he said.

ADJ
: adjective
Definition
Adjectives are words that typically modify nouns and specify their properties or attributes. They may also function as predicates, as in
Машина зеленая “The car is green.”
The ADJ
tag is intended for ordinary adjectives only. See DET
for determiners and NUM for cardinal numerals.
In accord with the UD approach, adjectival ordinal numerals (первый, седьмой, стопятидесятый) are tagged as adjectives, although the traditional grammar classifies them as numerals. They behave like adjectives both morphologically and syntactically, with the exception that they cannot be compared and negated.
Most Russian adjectives inflect for ru-feat/Gender (большой – большое – большая) “big”, ru-feat/Number (большой – большие), ru-feat/Case (большой – большого – большому – большим – большом), ru-feat/Degree (большой – больше – наибольший) and Negation (большой – небольшой).
Examples
- большой “big”
- старый “old”
- зеленый “green”
- студенческий, учительский “student’s, teacher’s” (possessive adjectives)
- первый, второй, третий “first, second, third”
- сделанный “done” (passive participial adjective)
- делающий “doing” (present participial adjective, derived from present transgressive)
- сделавший “having done” (past participial adjective, derived from past transgressive)
Border cases
Passive participles lie on the border between verbs and adjectives.
Core participial forms (ending in consonant or short vowel) are tagged VERB
.
Long forms are participial adjectives and they are tagged ADJ
.
For example:
- Verb: писан, писано, писана, писаны “written”
- Adjective: писанный, писанное, писанная, писанные “written”
Only true participles (verbs) can be used to form the passive voice (but it may be sometimes difficult to distinguish from copula constructions, see AUX). On the other hand, the participial adjectives inflect for case and thus can modify nouns.
There is an analogy with some adjectives that preserved so called nominal (short) forms. And these adjectives are not derived from verbs. Example:
- Short (nominal) forms: стар, старо, стара “old”
- Normal (pronominal) forms: старый, старое, старая “old”
Here both groups are ADJ
. The nominal forms are used in predication,
the standard forms both in predication and to modify nouns.
ADP
: adposition
Definition
Russian has only prepositions but not postpositionsand and circumpositions. They occur before a complement noun phrase (noun, pronoun) and they form a single structure with the complement to express its grammatical and semantic relation to another unit within a clause.
Some prepositions take the form of fixed multiword expressions, e.g.
по сравнению с “in comparison with”, в связи с
“in connection with”. The
component words are then still tagged according to their basic use
(по is ADP
, сравнению is NOUN, etc.) and their status as
multiword expressions are accounted for in the syntactic annotation
Examples
- в; “in, at”
- к “to”
- на “on, at”
ADV
: adverb
Definition
Adverbs are words that typically modify verbs for such categories as time, place, direction or manner. They may also modify adjectives and other adverbs, as in очень важно “very significantly” or вероятно неправильно “provably wrong”.
There is a closed subclass of pronominal adverbs that refer to
circumstances in context, rather than naming them directly; similarly
to pronouns, these can be categorized as interrogative, relative,
demonstrative etc. Pronominal adverbs also get the ADV
part-of-speech tag but they are differentiated by additional features.
Note that Russian transgressives (also called adverbial participles)
are tagged VERB, not ADV
.
Examples
- очень “very”
- хорошо “well”
- точно “exactly”
- завтра “tomorrow”
- вниз, наверх “up, down”
- ordinal numeral adverbs: впервые “for the first time”
- multiplicative numeral adverbs: однажды, дважды, трижды “once, twice, three times”
- interrogative adverbs: где, куда, когда, как, почему “where, where to, when, how, why”
- demonstrative adverbs: здесь, там, сейчас, потом, так “here, there, now, then, so”
- indefinite adverbs: где-то, куда-то, когда-то, как-то “somewhere, to somewhere, sometime, somehow”
- total adverbs: везде, всегда “everywhere, always”
- negative adverbs: нигде, никогда “nowhere, never”
AUX
: auxiliary verb
Definition
The only truly auxiliary verb in Russian is быть “to be”. It accompanies the lexical verb of a verb phrase and expresses grammatical distinctions not carried by the lexical verb.
Examples
-
Future tense. Finite future form of быть is combined with infinitive of the lexical verb. The auxiliary expresses person, number and tense: буду делать “I will do”, будешь делать “you will do”, будут делать “they will do”. Note that a limited set of verbs can form future morphologically, without the auxiliary.
-
Conditional mood. Conditional form (historically aorist) of být is combined with past participle of the lexical verb. The auxiliary expresses person and number, the participle expresses gender and number: сделал бы “I would do.
Masc
”, сделала бы “I would do.Fem
”, сделали бы “we would do.Masc
”. -
Passive voice. A form of быть (in various tenses and moods or in the infinitive) is combined with passive participle of the lexical verb. The auxiliary expresses person, number, tense(past and future) and mood, the participle expresses gender, number and voice: будет сделан “he will be done”, был сделан “he was done”, был бы сделан “he would be done”,
Modal verbs are not auxiliaries
Russian modal verbs are not considered auxiliary and they are tagged VERB
.
Their behavior is only slightly different from other content verbs.
CCONJ
: coordinating conjunction
Definition
A coordinating conjunction is a word that links words or larger constituents without syntactically subordinating one to the other and expresses a semantic relationship between them.
For subordinating conjunctions, see SCONJ.
Examples
- и “and”
- или “or”
- но “but”
DET
: determiner
Definition
Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context. That is, a determiner may indicate whether the noun is referring to a definite or indefinite element of a class, to a closer or more distant element, to an element belonging to a specified person or thing, to a particular number or quantity, etc.
An important point to note is that the traditional grammar of Russian does not
define determiners as a separate word class. Russian does not have articles.
Most determiners are traditionally called pronouns; that is, an UD-conformant
annotation of Russian must distinguish between substantive pronouns (UD tag PRON)
and attributive pronouns (UD tag DET
).
Examples
- possessive determiners: мой, твой, его, её, наш, ваш, их “my, your, his, her, our, your, their”
- reflexive possessive determiner: свой “one’s own”
- demonstrative determiners: этот as in Я видела эту машину вчера. “I saw this car yesterday.”
- interrogative determiners: какой as in Какая машина тебе нравится? “Which car do you like?”
- relative determiners: который as in Мне интересно, которая машина тебе нравится. “I wonder which car you like.”
- relative possessive determiner: чей “whose”
- indefinite determiners: некоторый
- total determiners: каждый
- negative determiners: никакой as in У нас не осталось никаких машин. “We have no cars available.”
INTJ
: interjection
Definition
An interjection is a word that is used most often as an exclamation or part of an exclamation. It typically expresses an emotional reaction, is not syntactically related to other accompanying expressions, and may include a combination of sounds not otherwise found in the language.
Examples
(Note that no direct translation of interjections is possible. The approximate translations below are for orientation purposes and they cannot serve to judge the part of speech from the English perspective.)
- ах “oh”
- ого “wow”
- ну “well”
- ради бога “for God’s sake”
NOUN
: noun
Definition
Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing, animal or idea.
The NOUN
tag is intended for common nouns only. See PROPN for
proper nouns and PRON for pronouns.
Russian nouns have the lexical feature ru-feat/Gender. Furthermore, the nouns inflect for ru-feat/Number and ru-feat/Case.
A verbal noun can be derived productively from almost every verb
(e.g. есть “to eat” → поедание “eating”).
While in other languages a corresponding form may be called gerund and tagged VERB,
in Russian it is tagged NOUN
. It has always the neuter gender and the full
number-case inflectional paradigm.
Examples
- девочка “girl”
- кошка “cat”
- дерево “tree”
- воздух “air”
- красота “beauty”
- плавание “swimming”
NUM
: numeral
Definition
A numeral is a word, functioning most typically as a determiner, adjective or pronoun, that expresses a number and a relation to the number, such as quantity, sequence, frequency or fraction.

Russian grammar distinguishes several subclasses of pronominal numerals (quantifiers): interrogative and relative (сколько “how many”); demonstrative (столько “this many”); indefinite (несколько “several”). These words behave similarly to (most) cardinal numbers, e.g. they require that the counted noun phrase be in Genitive. They are not similar to adjectives (unlike their English counterparts).
In addition, several types of (non-pronominal) numerals, such as ordinal numerals and multiplicative numerals, are tagged ADJ or ADV, based on their syntactic and morphological behavior.
Examples
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2014, 1000000, 3.14159265359
- I, II, III, IV, V, MMXIV
- один, два, три, четыре, пять, семьдесят “one, two, three, four, five, seventy”
- половина, треть, четверть “one-half, one third, quarter”: denominators of fractions constitute a separate class of cardinal numerals.
- двое, трое, четверо, пятеро “four, five”: collective numerals (see specific-syntax on their morphosyntactic behavior).
- сколько, столько, предостаточно “how many, this many, more than enough”: pronominal quantifiers of imprecise quantity.
Counterexamples
- первый, второй, третий “first, second, third”: adjectival ordinal numerals. They are tagged ADJ, and the ru-feat/NumType feature reveals their semantic relation to numbers.
- впервые “for the first time”: adverbial ordinal numerals. They are tagged ADV, and the ru-feat/NumType feature reveals their semantic relation to numbers.
- однажды, дважды, трижды “once, twice, three times”: multiplicative numerals. They are tagged ADV, and the ru-feat/NumType feature reveals their semantic relation to numbers.
- пара, тройка, четверка “pair, triplet, foursome”: n-tuples (n-tice) are not considered numerals in the Russian grammar. They are tagged NOUN.
- единица, двойка, тройка, четверка, пятерка “number one, number two, number three, number four, number five”: names of numbers, or of objects identified by the number (e.g. of a bus route). They are not considered numerals and they are tagged NOUN.
Border cases
- тысяча, миллион, миллиард, триллион “thousand, million, billion, trillion”: words for large quantities are ambiguous between cardinal numerals (tagged
NUM
) and nouns. If they inflect as nouns, they are tagged NOUN; but the borderline is fuzzy. For instance, in phrases like тысячи людей вышли на улицы (“thousands of people went on the streets”), тысячи is a noun. In numeric expressions, e.g. 110 тысяч долларов (“110 thousand dollars”), it is a cardinal numeral. - много, мало, немного, немало, несколько, достаточно “many, few, not many, a lot, several, enough”: pronominal quantifiers are ambiguous between cardinal numerals (tagged
NUM
when they refer to imprecise quantities) and adverbs (tagged ADV when they refer to degree/intensity). As a rule, the latter have verbs, adjectives, and adverbs as their head (e.g. я был несколько груб “I was a bit rude”). Note that the words более, больше, менее, меньше “more than, less than” are considered comparative forms of the numerals много and мало when they are used in constructions with cardinal numerals, e.g. более пяти студентов “more than five students” (see specific-syntax).
PART
: particle
Definition
Particles are function words that must be associated with another word or phrase to impart meaning and that do not satisfy definitions of other universal parts of speech (e.g. adpositions, coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions or auxiliary verbs). Particles may encode grammatical categories such as negation, mood, tense etc. Russian particles are not inflected.
Note that response words such as да “yes”, нет “no”, etc. are considered particles in the PDT tagset but they should be retagged as interjections under the UD standard.
Examples
- Sentence modality: пусть (“May you have an enjoyable stay!”)
- же “just, only”
- аж “as late as, even, up to” Use case: Мне сегодня аж пять писем пришло. “Today I have recieved even five letters”
PRON
: pronoun
Definition
Pronouns are words that substitute for nouns or noun phrases, whose meaning is recoverable from the linguistic or extralinguistic context.
Pronouns under this definition function like nouns. Note that
Russian grammar traditionally extends the term pronoun to words that
substitute for adjectives. Such words are not tagged PRON
under our universal scheme. They are tagged as determiners in
order to annotate the same thing same way across languages.
For instance, ‘это “this” is traditionally called pronoun in
Russian grammar, regardless of context (the notion of determiners does
not exist in Russian grammar). To make the annotation parallel across
languages, it should be now tagged PRON
in Я видел это вчера. “I saw this yesterday.” and DET
in
Я видел эту машину вчера. “I saw this car yesterday.”
 “I saw this yesterday.”
- interrogative pronouns: кто, что “who, what” as in Что ты думаешь? “What do you think?”
- relative pronouns: кто, что “who, what” as in Мне интересно, что ты думаешь. “I wonder what you think.”
- indefinite pronouns: кто-то, что-то “somebody, something”
- total pronouns: каждый, все “everybody, all”
- negative pronouns: никто, ничто “nobody, nothing”
PROPN
: proper noun
Definition
A proper noun is a noun that is the name of a specific individual, place, or object. Russian proper nouns are always written starting with an uppercase letter.
Single-word named entities should be tagged PROPN
though they originate
from a common noun (Грязь) (village) or an adjective (Белая) (river).
Even if they were originally adjectives and inflect according to adjectival
paradigms, they behave syntactically as nouns. For instance, Белая
(a river in Bashkortostan) is originally feminine form of the
adjective белый “warm” but as a geographical name, it is a noun.
It denotes a concrete location (rather than a property of somebody/something)
and its feminine gender is fixed (while adjectives have forms in all three
genders).
Note that adjectives derived from geographical names (русский, английский “Russian, English”)
are written in lowercase and are not tagged PROPN
.
Personal names are typically treated as a sequence of proper nouns
(one or more given names and one or more surnames).
If the name contains prepositions, conjunctions or articles (foreign names), these are tagged as ADP
, CCONJ
and DET
,
respectively.
Russian (and other Slavic) multi-word named entities have internal syntactic
structure, which is preserved in the annotation. The headword is always noun
and there may be other nouns involved. They will be tagged either PROPN
or
NOUN
and possible ambiguities must be resolved individually.
Modifying adjectives are never tagged PROPN
. Even if an adjective is the
first word of a multi-word name, and thus it starts with an uppercase letter,
it is still tagged ADJ
.
Similarly, function words in named entities retain their normal tags.
These rules are less strict for foreign named entities where the original
part of speech is hidden for a Russian speaker.
Examples
- Белая.
ADJ
река.NOUN
“White River”. Even though the two words together are a name of a particular river, река is a common noun and is tagged as such. - Организация.
NOUN
Объединенных.ADJ
Наций.NOUN
“United Nations Organization” consists of three words, none of which is proper noun. However, the acronym ООН “UNO” is a single-token name and is taggedPROPN
.
PUNCT
: punctuation
Definition
Punctuation marks are non-alphabetical characters and character groups used to delimit linguistic units in printed text.
Punctuation is not taken to include logograms such as $, %, and §, which are instead tagged as SYM.
Examples
- Period: .
- Comma: ,
- Parentheses: ()
SCONJ
: subordinating conjunction
Definition
A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction that links constructions by making one of them a constituent of the other. The subordinating conjunction typically marks the incorporated constituent which has the status of a (subordinate) clause.
For coordinating conjunctions, see CCONJ.
Examples
- что “that”
- если “if”
- как “as”
- чем “than”
SYM
: symbol
Definition
A symbol is a word-like entity that differs from ordinary words by form, function, or both.
Many symbols are or contain special non-alphanumeric characters, similarly to punctuation. What makes them different from punctuation is that they can be substituted by normal words. This involves all currency symbols, e.g. $ 75 is identical to seventy-five dollars.
Mathematical operators form another group of symbols.
Another group of symbols is emoticons and emoji.
Strings that consists entirely of alphanumeric characters are not
symbols but they may be proper nouns: 130XE, DC10; others
may be tagged PROPN
(rather than SYM
) even if they contain special
characters: DC-10.
Similarly, abbreviations for single words are not symbols but are assigned the part of speech
of the full form. For example, Mr. (mister), kg (kilogram), km (kilometr), dr (doktor)
should be tagged nouns.
Acronyms for proper names such as OSN and NATO should be tagged as proper nouns.
Characters used as bullets in itemized lists (•, ‣) are not symbols, they are punctuation.
Examples
- $, %, §, ©
- +, −, ×, ÷, =, <, >
- :), ♥‿♥, 😝
-<EMAIL_ADDRESS>http://universaldependencies.org/, 1-800-COMPANY
VERB
: verb
Definition
A verb is a member of the syntactic class of words that typically signal events and actions, can constitute a minimal predicate in a clause, and govern the number and types of other constituents which may occur in the clause.
Note that the VERB
tag covers main verbs (content verbs),
modal verbs and
copulas but it does not cover auxiliary verbs, for which there is
the AUX tag. (Russian modal verbs are not considered auxiliary.)
See the description of AUX
for more information on the borderline
between VERB
and AUX
.
Czech verbs can take the following morphological forms:
- Infinitive (this is the citation form)
- Finite verb (indicative and imperative forms; conditional is constructed periphrastically)
- Past participle (used to construct past and conditional)
- Passive participle (used to construct passive voice; also used separately as an adjective)
- Transgressive (also called adverbial participle)
There are participial forms that are tagged as adjectives (ADJ) rather than verbs. See below for examples.
A verbal noun can be derived productively from almost every verb
(e.g. есть “to eat” → поедание “eating”).
While in other languages a corresponding form may be called gerund and tagged VERB
,
in Russian it is tagged NOUN. It has always the neuter ru-feat/Gender
and it inflects for ru-feat/Number and ru-feat/Case.
Examples
- рисовать “to draw”
- рисую, рисуешь, рисует, рисуем, рисуете, рисуют “I draw, you draw, he/she/it draw, we draw, you draw, they draw”
- рисуй, рисуйте “draw” (imperative in different persons and numbers)
- рисовал, рисовала, рисовало, рисовали “drew” (past participle in different genders and numbers)
- рисован, рисована, рисовано, рисованы “drawn” (passive participle in different genders and numbers)
- рисуя “drawing” (present transgressive)
Border cases
There are passive participles as verb forms (VERB
)
and participial adjectives (ADJ
). For example:
- Verb: рисован, рисована, рисовано, рисованы “drawn”
- Adjective: рисованый, рисованая, рисованое, рисованые “drawn”
Their meaning is almost identical but the usage slightly varies. Both groups can be used in nominal predication with copula. Only true participles (verbs) can be used to form the passive voice (but it may be sometimes difficult to distinguish from copula constructions, see AUX). On the other hand, the participial adjectives inflect for case and thus can modify nouns.
There is an analogy with some adjectives that preserved so called nominal (short) forms. And these adjectives are not derived from verbs. Example:
- Short (nominal) forms: стар, стара, старо “old”
- Normal (pronominal) forms: старый, старая, старое “old”
Here both groups are ADJ
. The nominal forms are used in predication,
the standard forms both in predication and to modify nouns.
X
: other
Definition
The tag X
is used for words that for some reason cannot be assigned
a real part-of-speech category.
A special usage of X
is for cases of code-switching where it is not
possible (or meaningful) to analyze the intervening language
grammatically (and where the dependency relation foreign is
typically used in the syntactic analysis).
This rarely applies to the PDT data where many foreign words are tagged with their original
part of speech.
Even if foreign words are tagged X
, this usage does not extend
to ordinary loan words which should be assigned a normal
part-of-speech. For example, in Он надел килт “He put on kilt”,
килт is an ordinary NOUN.
Examples
- И потом он просто xfgh pdl jklw “And then he just xfgh pdl jklw”

Spurs fans react to Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen reports
by Jordan HarrisA number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to comment on reports from the Daily Mirror regarding the futures of Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen.
As reported by the Mirror, all three are out of contract this summer. And it appeared, from the outside, that they may be heading for the exit with the players able to discuss pre-contract moves with non-English clubs in January.
But it appears that the trio may be open to having a change of heart. The Daily Mirror reports that Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen are intrigued by the prospect of working under Jose Mourinho.
And it is suggested that they are now open-minded about their futures. It is perhaps fair to say that the report concerning the three players has divided plenty of supporters on social media.
On the pitch, it would be a massive boost for Tottenham to have the three men stick around, particularly if Mourinho can help them get back to their best in the coming months.
However, the reports did not sit well with a lot of supporters. None of the players have particularly impressed this term. Eriksen, in particular, has come in for a lot of criticism.
And it appears that it will actually disappoint a lot of supporters if their form enjoys a dramatic turnaround in the very near future. It is clear that a number of fans feel a lot of loyalty to Mauricio Pochettino.
Of course, Spurs fans ultimately want to see their side do well above anything else. But it seems that the supporters would not be entirely comfortable with seeing a significant transformation that inspires Alderweireld, Eriksen and Vertonghen to all sign new deals.
Here is how some of the supporters have reacted to the reports…

Don’t be modishly alarmed by the double-carb combo: it can be an alcohol-sopping salve, much appreciated at this time of year. Besides, it is important to remember that the original predates central heating.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400f/Gas 6, and fill a large pot with water to cook the sprouts, potato and pasta.
When the water boils, salt it generously, tip in the prepared sprouts, the potato dice and the pasta and let the water come back to the boil, then cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the potato is tender and the pasta al dente. Just before draining, remove two cupfuls of the cooking liquid and put to one side.
Tip the drained pasta, sprouts and spud into a roasting tin (or a lasagne dish) then add the ricotta and diced Gruyère and a cupful of cooking water, and toss well to combine. Add more liquid if you feel the pasta is too dry.
Warm the butter and garlic oil in a small saucepan and, when melted and beginning to sizzle gently, add the sage and fry for about 30 seconds before spooning or dribbling the butter and sage leaves over the pasta bake. Sprinkle with the parmesan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, by which time the surface will be scorched a light gold. I like this best if it’s left to stand for at least 15 minutes before eating.

It's not going to change. Almost all code in Carrot is written so that the user don't have to resort to globals and statics to solve their problems. You can think of Carrot as an academic experiment on whether or not we can build a fully functional framework in PHP without using globals and statics.
If you're already familiar with the reasons why globals and statics are harmful, you can skip to the next page. The following paragraphs are written to explain it to people who does not have any idea about why they should be avoided.
The reason Carrot doesn't use globals and statics and encourages you to also discard them, is that they are very dangerous. I've compiled various reasons why globals and statics will harm your code, if you haven't already, please read them to their sources. Only after that you can make an informed opinion.
Your code will be easier to understand if it were to use variables with limited scope. Global variables can be read or modified by any part of the program, making it difficult to remember or reason about every possible use. [1] [3]
If you use globals or statics, you can never tell real
dependencies of a class just by reading it's public API. You
have to read the source code line-by-line to figure it out.
You thought Foo
class doesn't need
Bar
when in fact, it accesses Bar
using globals or static references in some obscure method.
[1]
[2]
In an ideal world, an object should only be able to interact
only with other objects which are directly passed into it,
either through a constructor or method call. With the
existence of globals and statics, object Foo
can
get a hold of globally accessible Bar
even
though it is not supposed to have access to it. This couples
Foo
with the global state, and if there is a bug
related to Bar
, you'll have to hunt the entire
source code because you don't know which part of your code
actually uses it.
[4]
Whenever you use globals or statics, you are creating secret communications channel that are not exposed in the API. This allows spooky action at a distance to happen. It's when you run a method that is supposed to be isolated, but an action occurs in distant locations of the system which you did not tell the object about. When this happens, it forces developers to read every line of code to understand potential interactions that occurs when a method is called. [4]
When you're using static methods, you are creating a static
dependency that will be difficult to replace by means other
than editing the source. Let's say Foo
has a
static dependency to Bar::baz()
, and you need
to switch Baz
implementation to
Bar
. You won't be able to do that without
editing Foo
's source. In OOP with dependency
injection, you should be able to do this simply by injecting
another class, adhering to
Liskov's subtitution principle.
[5]
Unit testing needs seams. It's where the execution of normal code is prevented and the class being tested is isolated. Without isolation, there is no unit test. Usually to do this, polymorphism and dependency injection is utilized. An interface is overridden/implemented and injected to the class. This is not possible to do with statics. The usage of global state also means that every test must start in an expected state, or the test will fail. [4] [6]
Please note that there are actually lots of positions in this issue. There are those who try to stay away from globals but feel statics are okay since they don't pollute the namespace. There are those who are okay with both of them despite heavy arguments against them. Also, there are those who try to stay away from it at all costs. I guess Carrot belongs to the latter camp.
For me, writing without globals and statics makes things much cleaner and forces me to really think about design early on, with the side effect of the code being easier to test. If this does not appeal to you, then Carrot probably is not going to interest you.

Apple Removes Customer Reviews From Online Store
by Andrew OrrSeveral days ago Apple quietly removed customer reviews from its online store, and we don’t know if they will reappear (via AppleInsider).
Customer Reviews
The move is clearly intentional because it affects online stores in Australia, the U.S, and the U.K. If only one store was affected then that would suggest a bug.
Coincidentally, photography blog FStoppers published a YouTube video called “Apple Fanboys, Where is your God now?” In which the host reads negative reviews of the 16-inch MacBook Pro.
But it’s unknown whether that was a factor in the removal (My guess: probably not).

pyspark.mllib.clustering.
GaussianMixtureModel
A clustering model derived from the Gaussian Mixture Model method.
New in version 1.3.0.
Examples
>>> from pyspark.mllib.linalg import Vectors, DenseMatrix >>> from numpy.testing import assert_equal >>> from shutil import rmtree >>> import os, tempfile
>>> clusterdata_1 = sc.parallelize(array([-0.1,-0.05,-0.01,-0.1, ... 0.9,0.8,0.75,0.935, ... -0.83,-0.68,-0.91,-0.76 ]).reshape(6, 2), 2) >>> model = GaussianMixture.train(clusterdata_1, 3, convergenceTol=0.0001, ... maxIterations=50, seed=10) >>> labels = model.predict(clusterdata_1).collect() >>> labels[0]==labels[1] False >>> labels[1]==labels[2] False >>> labels[4]==labels[5] True >>> model.predict([-0.1,-0.05]) 0 >>> softPredicted = model.predictSoft([-0.1,-0.05]) >>> abs(softPredicted[0] - 1.0) < 0.03 True >>> abs(softPredicted[1] - 0.0) < 0.03 True >>> abs(softPredicted[2] - 0.0) < 0.03 True
>>> path = tempfile.mkdtemp() >>> model.save(sc, path) >>> sameModel = GaussianMixtureModel.load(sc, path) >>> assert_equal(model.weights, sameModel.weights) >>> mus, sigmas = list( ... zip(*[(g.mu, g.sigma) for g in model.gaussians])) >>> sameMus, sameSigmas = list( ... zip(*[(g.mu, g.sigma) for g in sameModel.gaussians])) >>> mus == sameMus True >>> sigmas == sameSigmas True >>> from shutil import rmtree >>> try: ... rmtree(path) ... except OSError: ... pass
>>> data = array([-5.1971, -2.5359, -3.8220, ... -5.2211, -5.0602, 4.7118, ... 6.8989, 3.4592, 4.6322, ... 5.7048, 4.6567, 5.5026, ... 4.5605, 5.2043, 6.2734]) >>> clusterdata_2 = sc.parallelize(data.reshape(5,3)) >>> model = GaussianMixture.train(clusterdata_2, 2, convergenceTol=0.0001, ... maxIterations=150, seed=4) >>> labels = model.predict(clusterdata_2).collect() >>> labels[0]==labels[1] True >>> labels[2]==labels[3]==labels[4] True

I am a web developer based out of New York City with experience in Ruby on Rails, Javascript, and React.js.
I took an interest in programming and web development since the very first select query I wrote in SQL. After receiving my degree in Chemical Engineering in 2013 I found I really enjoyed the problem solving and analytical thinking that came with engineering. It was shortly after where I decided I wanted to get into programming and web development where I could further hone these skills while creating awesome stuff!

I am looking for full-time employment so please feel free to contact me.
