Literature Review
A literature review is a comprehensive but concise summary of the research on a particular topic. The goal of the review is to integrate and interpretate these primary research articles. Literature reviews may be the most common assignment given in psychological science classes. The purpose of a literature review is to assess a field's collective knowledge and research on a specific topic while also highlighting where further research may need to be conducted. Literature reviews should not be a summary of the articles (just like your annotated bibliographies should not be summaries); readers are looking for a critical analysis of recent research on your topic. However, it is understood that it can be difficult to truly interrogate and synthesize information across articles and research studies when you have a limited number of pages and limited view of the field.
Tips
- Start by reading a variety of primary research articles that represent the current state of knowledge on a narrowly defined topic. An easy mistake is to choose a topic that is too broad. When you are first asked to write what seems like a long paper of between 10 and 20 pages, you may try to choose a broad topic. You'll find even with fairly narrowly defined topics or questions that you can find a lot of research. However, you should there is sufficient research evidence on the subject in terms of both quantity of research and diversity of sources. You'll find in some specialized area that there may be only one or two researchers. I tend to stay away from these areas because with out multiple researchers we are likely missing out on different ideas and perspectives.
- Your analysis should be organized by key themes, trends, issues, or comparisons that are directly related to your thesis or research question. Again, DO NOT simply provide individual summaries of each article. What are you finding across studies, what is the 10,000 foot view of your topic? Are people asking questions in different ways, can you connect areas that haven't previously been connected, for example, do people talk about the same idea or concept but use different vocabulary?
- Emphasize where the present research fits with previous theories and studies. While you are looking towards the most recent literature, you also want to recognize the historical aspect (if its an older topic). Since you are combining articles and topics in new ways, the end of your literature review should identify gaps in the field that will be addressed by the current research (if you are proposing a study) or should be addressed (if you are not carrying out research.
- In literature reviews for class, include your own thoughts, evaluations, and questions of the literature.
Search Process
- Searching is an active process. You will pursue multiple strategies in order to find the best, most appropriate references for your topic. Articles connect to each other. You should look at both the reference list of a relevant article and for the articles that have cited your relevant article. Use synonyms/subject headings. You'll find that people often talk about the same thing in slightly different ways. You'll try to track down all of the ways someone talks about your topic.
- Weeding out is a process. You can't just take the first ten results in your first search and make that your bibliography. You need to scan each article in your source (usually the abstract) and determine if it is appropriate for your topic. You also need to make sure that the resource meets the requirements of the course (often peer-reviewed journals). You'll also need to narrow your topic. As stated earlier, its often easy to start too broad. Narrow your idea from reviews. Find how your topic intersects with other relatively narrow or specific topics. Focus on a particular demographic.
- Organize your work. I find using zotero with google drive and hypothesis the best way to organize information. The reference manager helps organize papers by topic and can also be tagged or have notes written with them. Hypothesis is a great way to comment on the paper and also use hashtags to look for commonalities across papers.
- Reading and Note-taking. Don't just read the abstract. Take notes in your own words. Continue to check the intro and discussion for other references.
Citations
Don't forget to cite your resources. Its best to use a reference manager, like zotero, to help keep track of your references/pdfs and then to insert in-text citations and your bibliography (make sure to double check that Zotero reads the metadata correctly. Check out any number of these websites to help with your citations in APA format

2019. I spearheaded a partnerships with the CCXT team, involving Poloniex's trading & wallet APIs. A large part of the effort also included rewriting the API documentation.
2019. One of the biggest features we worked on in 2019 was an integration between Circle's USDC APIs and Poloniex. Over the course of the summer, it was slowly rolled out to customers seeking the ability to purchase large sums of USDC while remaining protected from price volatility until they were ready to trade. This feature was an early step towards what was later released as a full-blown API solution for businesses at the beginning of 2020.
2018. In the fall of 2018, we launched USDC and Circle's Tokenizer app. I product managed all backoffice feature functionality, including new review queues for business accounts, wire bank functionality, and more.
2018.  We spent several months engaged with stakeholders, speaking with a variety of prospective customers and developing persona profiles, and assisting in the content creation process that would later become Circle Invest's embedded Token Story feature.
2017. After Circle Pay removed Bitcoin, we iterated over several features that brought us moderate adoption success in the UK and Europe. The vision for this feature was on-par with what Square Cash later released in 2019 with their GBP functionality. In some ways, we were ahead of the curve and lacked the business model to really make it a long lasting success.
2016 - 2017. Working as a quasi-PM (having not yet fully transitioned into the role) and full stack engineer with our Risk and Engineering team, I managed, designed, and developed the UI that our Data Science team used to handle fraudulent transactions, KYC triggers, and other cases that required synchronous/asynchronous decision making.
What's shown below is a feature that allowed for data science models to be tested in certain contexts.
2015 - 2017. I spent a lot of time and effort creating deep integrations between our backoffice tools and Zendesk. In order to keep pace with our integrations requirements, I contributed to a popular node.js Zendesk client library often enough that I became a primary maintainer. In doing so I became exceptionally familiar with their APIs and featureset. Before Zendesk added their own dashboarding tool for agents, I built our team a custom one and open-sourced around the same time.
2014 - 2016. As an early member of the CX team, I managed, designed, and developed the Zendesk Help Center to support all of our Circle customers. I became deeply involved with Zendesk integrations that led to me to contributing to open source libraries and furthering integrations within our own tech ecosystem.

"warning": $warning,
"danger": $danger,
"light": $light,
"dark": $dark
),
$theme-colors
);

$btn-link-color: $link-color;
$btn-link-hover-color: $link-hover-color;
$form-range-thumb-bg: $component-active-bg;
$form-range-thumb-active-bg: tint-color($component-active-bg, 70%);
// Accordion
$accordion-button-active-bg: tint-color($component-active-bg, 90%);
$accordion-button-active-color: shade-color($primary, 10%);
$accordion-icon-color: $accordion-color;
$accordion-icon-active-color: $accordion-button-active-color;
$accordion-button-active-icon: url("data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='#{$accordion-icon-active-color}'><path fill-rule='evenodd' d='M1.646 4.646a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0L8 10.293l5.646-5.647a.5.5 0 0 1 .708.708l-6 6a.5.5 0 0 1-.708 0l-6-6a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708z'/></svg>");
By using this method, You have to change color codes only at one place and all your website color shades will be set properly.
Gulp must be running in your system to compile this, so after saving _user-variables.scss
file, Gulp will compile the same and you will see the new color scheme.
#2 Using CSS
If you want to change theme default color scheme just using CSS, You can choose one of the 2 methods (We recommend Method 2 – Using color.css)
Method 1: Using style.css
If you don't want to take advantage of future updates of theme, You can change theme color by replacing your new HEX color code in style.css
located in template/assets/css
directory. Please note this is not recommended option.
Method 2: Using color.css
Please look out for color.css
file in template/assets/css
directory for new sample color as an example. You should link that CSS at the end in head section after theme CSS like below code:
<!-- Theme CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/style.css" />
<!-- Theme Color CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/color.css" />
Provided color.css
within theme is for new color scheme as an example. Just make very few changes in variables of this file and you are good to go. A detailed explanation of how to change color can be found in color.css
file.

There are a lot of different definitions of emotional intelligence out there, and I love the diversity in interpretations.
For me emotional intelligence describes a series of practices:
The practice of ‘seeing’ and allowing emotions:
The practice and
ability to identify and acknowledge one's own emotional experience and how it exists in us. In our bodies,
in our communication, in our thoughts etc.
The practice of distancing, conscious re-framing and gratitude:
In facing our emotions, we recognise our proximity to them as a choice. For example, will I become and identify
this emotion, or will I allow it to be, just as it is, without willing it to be different and thank it for the
information it is providing me? I view emotions signals, just as we use our well known 5 senses to inform how
we are and can be in the world, I think our emotions can allow us to know and learn about ourselves in different
contexts. They are information for and about us, rather than they are us.
The practicing a present, yet non-attachment relationship the emotions we experience:
We can practice this ourselves and learn to extend this practice to others. We can start to hear beneath people's words and often guess their under acknowledged feelings and their unmet and very human needs.
The practice of meeting others and their expressions with compassion and curiosity:
To me, emotional intelligence extends to supporting others to meet themselves as we try to meet ourselves, observing the tragic
expressions of unmet needs and meeting those with compassion and curiosity. Is there an invitation I can extend to this person
that may support them in their own understanding, expression and meeting needs?
What I think the difference between Emotional Intelligence and IQ is
My understanding is that IQ is a measure of a person's ability to reason using abstract logic and
rationale. It will determine a person's speed and accuracy as it comes to solving complex cognitive tasks and relies on functions
like attention, the formation of knowledge, memory and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and "computation",
problem solving and decision making, comprehension and production of language.
It is different to emotional intelligence both in the processes it more heavily relies on, e.g. learning, abstract and spatial
thinking compared to perception/evaluation and expression. IQ seems to rely on more tangible, inert and measurable elements while
emotional intelligence relies on largely unseen, animated and dynamic elements that exist within and between people
Emotional intelligence is important as it allows for greater understanding, ability and process and therefore choice as it comes to experiencing and expressing emotions throughout life. In the workplace it can nurture collaboration, service, initiative, creativity and leadership. In the home it can do the same, it can enhance and nourish relationships and I believe it can impact overall wellness. It can often inform us of the reasoning and motivations for desiring certain things and making certain choices.
I think the power of understanding what determines our choices is incredibly empowering as it grants us the opportunity to effectively support the changes we want to see in our lives.

No Fluff Just Stuff Conf Boston
This weekend I went to the NFJS conf North of Boston. Very Java heavy, but there were 2 talks I appreciated in particular:
Nathaniel Shutta Gave a really great talk on the state of mobile in his Mobile Design Workshop that scared the livin' bejeezus outta me. Made some great points about how important mobile 1st is. I hadn't been following the stats of late, but the numbers on smartphone activations and sales vs PCs are alarming. Nice connection on how focusing on mobile helps you hone your message in general.
Also heard a great talk from Brian Sletten on Modeling Resources: REST and Hypermedia. Helpful focus on the fact that the web and specifically REST is about exposing resources not just creating "services". The identity of resources is what's important, not how it gets there. Great explanation of the original spec intent of all the verbs, which are itempotent, etc, and how we overuse POST.
Good stuff.

Surgery
Surgery for ACL injuries involves reconstructing or repairing the ACL. ACL reconstruction surgery uses a graft to replace the ligament. The most common grafts are autografts using part of your own body, such as the tendon of the kneecap (patellar tendon) or one of the hamstring tendons. Sometimes the quadricep tendon from above the kneecap is used. Another choice is allograft tissue, which is taken from a deceased donor. Repair surgery typically is used only in the case of an avulsion fracture (a separation of the ligament and a piece of the bone from the rest of the bone). In this case, the bone fragment connected to the ACL is reattached to the bone. ACL surgery is usually done by making small incisions in the knee and inserting instruments for surgery through these incisions (arthroscopic surgery). In some cases, it is done by cutting a large incision in the knee (open surgery).
SourceThere is a second surgery called Lysis of Adhesions. In occasional rare instances in which patients are unable to regain full extension, you may be recommended for this surgery like I was. Arthrofibrosis of the knee is one of the most serious complications that can result from a ligament surgery like an ACL reconstruction. Arthrofibrosis is the growth of scar tissue that prohibits motion in the joints. Reported incidences of arthrofibrosis following ACL reconstruction range from 4% to 35%. The loss of motion caused by arthrofibrosis can be even more disabling than the instability for which the reconstruction was performed, often requiring extensive physical therapy and/or surgical lysis of adhesions. With aggressive rehabilitation and modifications in the bracing of knees undergoing ligament reconstruction, the incidence of this complication has decreased significantly. Additionally, delaying ACL reconstruction until the acute inflammatory period has resolved has also been shown to be a significant factor in the reduction of postoperative knee stiffness.
SourceTreatment Without Surgery
A lot of people say you need ACL surgery if you want to return to sports. There are many studies that show you might be better off if you start with rehabilitation. The injury that rips the ACL may damage other parts of the knee, particularly the meniscus (the piece of cartilage that cushions the bones of the knee). If you have a large meniscus tear and you fix the meniscus and not the ACL, there is a very high possibility the ACL will fail. A patient who is a relatively low-level recreational athlete (Example: a 35-year-old cyclist) may be better off with bracing and rehabilitation. Only if such patients have further ACL problems would surgery be the preferred option. A college soccer player might not be able to return to play without an ACL reconstruction surgery. Studies do not answer the question of who specifically needs ACL surgery. They do not look into what factors a patient has to have to need surgery to do well.
SourceRehabilitation
Even though rehab is a part of both paths, it can be interpreted in different ways. My definition of rehab was a combination of visiting my physical therapist, going to my school trainer, and creating an at home workout plan. My at home workout plan utilized my school weight room, exercises from my physical therapist and both stationary and regular bike riding. In July 2016, I also was reccomended to use a CPM (Continuous Passive Motion) machine. Over a course of about two weeks, I spent six hours of my day sitting on the sofa letting the machine move my leg for me to improve flextion after my second surgery.

KIOSK SYNCHRONIZATION INSTRUCTIONS


I had taken Valum and Xanax every once and a while, usually when it was accessible. For all those not aware, Xanax and the like are very easily obtainable in places like Latin America or South-East Asia.
During this particular experience, I was with in Thailand. I went out for a night with my father in a beach-front town, riding motorbikes and drinking beer. Once my pops was preoccupied for a moment, I took off over to a pharmacy and bought an 8 tablet-package of 1 mg. Alprazolam.
I took four, after having already consumed 3 12 oz beers. I immediately picked up a 24 oz. beer for the ride. Incidentally, this particular brand of beer, Chang, when purchased out there is anywhere between 7 and 14% alcohol by volume in a given bottle. It's a gamble. Alcohol definitely contributed to my experience.
I lost all memory after being on the motorbike for 20 minutes or so, but the onset was like any Xanax or Valum: My head felt light, as did all my movements. No deep pleasurable body highs like opiates.
I woke the next morning in my hotel room, naked from the waste down, a cigarette had burned into the bedding. The room was a complete waste-the small fridge was open and various beverages and food items opened and scattered about. It was clear that I had stumbled all over the room and was hungry before finally passing out. As for my exposed bottom-half, there was no girl next to me when I woke so I would assume I came to my room alone.
 I had told him I must of had a bit too much to drink, because I didn't remember a thing. He was shocked at the state of the room when I let him in, and he explained, laughing, that I had ordered a whole feast's worth of room service to his room for him and the girl he was with.
That's not the first time myself or friends of mine have blacked out from the combination of Xanax and alcohol. I have explicit footage of people doing and saying outrageous things while under the influence; showing them later drew forth no recollection.
I guess my recommendation is first of all not to take as many as 4 while drinking- I can honestly say that the effects of 2 seem the same as 4 without drinking, so one wouldn't be missing much. Also, it's probably best not to drink heavily on them.

Personal digital academic helper
Increase accessibility of academic information for new/ incoming graduate students at University of Michigan School of Information. Simplify the process of finding and connecting with current students in specific roles.
Ensure that privacy of current students is not breached. Don’t overwhelm current students with questions by incoming students Limit to School of Information to narrow down scope of problem statement
To better understand the target users, current tools, and scope of intervention, I performed comparative analysis, conducted user interviews and created personas from the data gathered. I further brainstormed solutions and created storyboards to understand user motivation behind each solution. To finalise features after narrowing down a solution, I created a journey map, delineated the user flow, and performed a QOC analysis.

To better understand the target users, current tools, and scope of intervention, I performed comparative analysis, conducted user interviews and created personas from the data gathered. I further brainstormed solutions and created storyboards to understand user motivation behind each solution. To finalise features after narrowing down a solution, I created a journey map, delineated the user flow, and performed a QOC analysis.
What surprised me was that in addition to not being able to find information, students were unaware of what kind of information to look for.
"I don't even know what a GSI is, why would I look for a vacancy in that position?"
While interviewing current students, I discovered that even though they want to help incoming students with academic queries, they often get overwhelmed by the number of people who reach out to them. These are some of the major themes highlighted through the interviews that I wanted to address through my solution:
"Where do I look for academic information?"
"What kind of information can I look for?"
"How do I find a current student in a specific role to ask questions?".
Based on user feedback collected from interviews and preliminary research, I created three personas which reflect the goals, needs, frustrations and motivation of the target users and stakeholders, and one anti-persona to illustrate the audience that I was not designing for.
I ideated and sketched eight possible solutions to the problem I was trying to address. I wanted to be creative and get as many ideas as I could, both physical and digital, which is why feasibility took a backseat for this exercise. Out of the possible solutions, I narrowed down a few that were feasible, implementable and addressed most user needs.
Some of the possible feasible solutions were:
I used storyboarding to illustrate detailed paths the user would take to arrive at any of the solutions I had brainstormed previously. The idea of having a clear use case that starts with a problem, highlights the need for a solution, and culminates in satisfaction on the user’s end helped me better understand the user journey and account for problems they faced along the way. This exercise also helped me understand whether the motivation was strong enough for a user to give preference to a particular solution.
Through journey mapping, I identified the possible points of intervention, the gaps in the user journey and alternative routes for finding the same information. I realised that a lot of information was scattered across various sources, and there wasn't a need to repeat information that was already available elsewhere.
The final solution I arrived at is Acadbot: A personal academic helper or a chatbot that assists students and guides them through the process of on-boarding. The reason I chose a chatbot is that it is a medium to make on-boarding personalised and less intimidating, as many students currently find it to be. Moreover, instead of providing a database of contact information, the chatbot will display contact information of students only when asked specific questions such as "Who was the GSI for SI 622 last year?" or "Who is the current officer of the organization SOCHI?".
This would ensure that students are approached only when there is a real need, and are not bombarded with messages or irrelevant queries, as they might be if there is a publicly available database of contact information. For my solution, both mobile application and website have merits and demerits. However, I chose to design a website because opening external urls and reading long passages (such as syllabus, course timings etc.) would be easier on a website compared to a phone. Some of the critical features of this platform are:
Through Questions, Options and Criteria analysis, I identified one critical feature of the platform and outlined three different approaches towards this feature. Since the goal is to increase accessibility of academic information, the most critical feature is searching for relevant information/ people and getting results from the chatbot. I explored different ways of entering profile information, navigating and searching for information, displaying search results, saving questions and responses, and connecting with other users, subject to different criteria. This exercise helped me incorporate important elements in my final design solution such as suggestive text and categories of academic information, which ensure a guided and personalised experience. I also added in-platform messaging as it would help in connecting students without the need of a third-party social media platform.
After mapping out critical features, I created conversational flows for the chatbot for a set of topics that students had most questions about, according to user research. Reading about conversational UIs and how they function was extremely helpful in creating these flows. The categories for which I mapped out the flows are: Courses, Find a senior, Internships, Jobs, Student organizations, GSI positions, GSRA positions and Labs.
Paper prototyping was a quick way to test my designs and iterate to incorporate suggested improvements.Feedback from paper prototyping helped me account for part-time students (by adding a 'start and end year’ field instead of ‘year of study’ in the ‘Enter Information’ screen) and for people who were still unsure about which mastery course they wished to take (by adding 'undecided' as an option to ‘Choose Mastery course’ dropdown). I also added a ‘Courses taken’ and ‘GSI/GSRA/Leadership role’ text input field (optional) to the ‘Edit Profile’ section. Since courses taken by students are not public information, filling out this section would make finding peers who have taken a certain course easier.
I mapped out the user flow and created wireframes before making high-fidelity mockups, wherein I incorporated the feedback from the paper prototypes. The main pages are Login, Enter information, Chatbot home page, Chat with a student, FAQs, Search, Profile and Edit Profile.
To create the high-fidelity mockups, I studied the interfaces of existing chatbots and messaging platforms such as Google Allo, Slack, Messenger and WhatsApp. Also, since talking to the chatbot is the highlighted feature, I did not create an additional 'Categories' page. Instead, I incorporated categories within the chat to prevent the need of navigating away from the chat.
I followed a structured, comprehensive design process in this project focussed on iterating in the low-fidelity stages. This was particularly helpful because the feedback led me to change my design solution from a student database to a chatbot to better address student needs. One challenge that I faced was that due to limited user research, I could not include conversational flows for all mastery courses. Another issue was determining the scope in terms of whether the platform should include alumni, just first years or second year students as well. Currently the website is for first year students (primary audience) and second year students (secondary audience). In the future, alumni can be added on the platform to create a strong network within the University.


Prehistoric art includes a broad range of art made by illiterate cultures, including some of the earliest human artifacts. The best-known Prehistoric artworks are the large Paleolithic cave paintings that depict animals in continental Europe, particularly the ones at Lascaux in the Dordogne region of France. Several hundread decorated caves are known, spanning the Upper Paleolithic period (c. 38,000-12,000 BC). There are examples in Ukraine, Italy and Great Britain, but most of them are in France and Spain. Many theories have been suggested about the art's purpose, the most accepted being that it was part of religious rituals, possibly to evoke hunting success. Besides cave painting, in various parts of the world, especially in Europe, small prehistoric statuettes known as Venus figurines with exaggerated breasts and bellies were made, the famous one being Venus of Willendorf, found in Austria. Most have small heads, wide hips, and legs that taper to a point. Arms and feet are often absent, and the head is usually small and faceless. Read more...

Empididae is a family of flies with over 3,000 described species occurring worldwide, but the majority are found in the Holarctic. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives in the Empidoidea, and exhibit a wide range of forms but are generally small to medium sized, non-metallic and rather bristly.
Common names for members of this family are dagger flies (referring to the sharp piercing mouthparts of some species) and balloon flies. The term "dance flies" is sometimes used for this family too, but the dance flies proper, formerly included herein, are now considered a separate family Hybotidae.
Some Empididae, such as the European species Hilara maura, have an elaborate courtship ritual in which the male wraps a prey item in silk and presents it to the female to stimulate copulation. Empidid larvae are also largely predatory (although some are scavengers) and occupy a wide range of habitats, both aquatic and terrestrial.

Select the specified bits from the bitstring, and remake it using only those bits. If bounded, the size will be adjusted to match the number of bits selected. This is an alternative way to change the size and value of an existing bitstring (see the grow!(), shrink!(), and resize!() methods.)
