Dissecting the Stereotype Threat
For our sixth week, the topic that our cohort was tasked with researching was that of the "Stereotype Threat".
How did this feeling impact your behavior?
How did this feeling impact your self-esteem?
Were you "justified" in having this feeling to begin with?
Being that the theory of stereotype threat is just that, a theory, there is no official definition. However, Wikipedia defines it as the following:
It's likely that we have all had this feeling at some point, considering that each of us is, in one way or another, part of a minority group. We're accustomed to thinking of minority groups as based on race, religion, or sexual orientation, but a minority group can be any size collection of people that share a common interest or quality.
As I read through the various literature on the subject, I couldn't help but think of my own life experiences with regard to stereotypes, their impact on my behavior, and what conclusions I have drawn...
Whenever we first meet someone, it's likely that one of our initial questions will be "Where are you from?" A person's origin says a lot about them, and for the questioner, it can provide insight as to what this person may be like. While many of us are often passionate about telling others that we're "proud of where we're from", our fear of what they may assume about our origins can easily open the door to the stereotype threat.
This is just as true for myself, considering I'm from the state of Kansas. As I've traveled the country and lived in other states, I've occasionally come across stereotypical comments about the Mid-West/Kansas. These comments come in a variety of forms, but often insenuate that midwesterners aren't educated, or that we "live in the past".
While much of the time there is certain sarcasm layered into these conversations, I must be honest in admitting that they can still get to me. It's not that I view myself as an uneducated person, but my fear of fulfilling the stereotype can impact how I think I should act in some situations.  Or, "Avoid comments about country music, pick-up trucks, and wheat fields!".
This feeling can also become amplified with regard to my accent. While most tell me that it isn't that strong, there are some who instantly pick it up, and then immitate me as our conversation carries on. I don't believe that they are intentionally mocking me (as accents are an easy conversation starter), but again, depending on the situation I can take offense, and then catch myself trying to speak in a more "normal" tongue.
A more recent example of my falling victim to the stereotype threat has been related to my transition into a career in technology. Kansas is hardly a mecca for tech innovation, and the more popular tech-hubs like San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Portland can often overshadow smaller, yet still relevant tech communities (such as Kansas City).
Yet again, this can make me feel as though I have something to prove to my peers. That I, alone, must show everyone that Kansas can produce a world-class web developer! A little friendly competition never hurt! Well, this friendly competition is motivational, but only up to a certain point. During Phase 0, there have been many moments where I wasn't grasping a particular concept. And again, I must admit that I began doubting my own abilities because of the stereotype threat. "I'm the only one in my class from Kansas - this can't be coincidence." Or, "I'm not cut out for this - I didn't grow up in a booming tech city."
As I dissect my reactions to these situations, it comes with it some positive introspection. Stereotypes are undoubtedly a reality, but how we react to them is entirely up to us. Hearing one comment from a single individual should not be reason to assume that an entire group feels the same way.
What exacerbates this problem is the fact that my generation has gradually become more and more known for its sarcasm. Humor seems to seep its way into almost any situation, and our enjoyment of mocking well-known stereotypes can have the inadvertent effect of strengthening the threat they pose to each of us (in our own minds).
Furthermore, as we become increasingly connected by technology, we're more likely to hear "horror stories" of someone in our minority group facing discrimination. To break through the stereotype threat, I try to remind myself that these are the opinions of the few, and that a majority of the people we interact with respect and appreciate our unique differences. The world isn't out to get us!
And then there's DBC: a program made up of students from a vast array of backgrounds, interests, and ethnicities. The stereotype threat is built upon fear, and what better way to conquer a fear than to stare it square in the eye. We're all uncertain and insecure, but luckily, this experience will force all of us into a situation where we must depend on, tolerate, and thrive off of our differences. I look forward to day one, when I can introduce myself to the class and say, "Hello, I'm Andrew, I'm from Kansas, and I'm here to become a web developer."


Watch: Reporter speaks out against man who assaulted her during a live news segment
by Scroll Staff‘No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere!’ said Alex Bozarjian.
Female reporter Alex Bozarjian was live on NBC’s WSAV network for sports when one of the men running in the marathon she was covering touched her inappropriately and sped off.
As part of a live segment, Bozarjian was standing next to the runners’ route for the Savannah Bridge Run when the incident took place. As the video above shows, she went from cheerful and enthusiastic to visibly flustered, though she attempted to continue reporting even after the assault.
Bozarjian responded to the man on social media, addressing him directly and saying “You violated me.”
Robert Wells, director of Savannah Sports Council, which sponsored the race, responded to Bozarjian and the video saying “Alex, what happened today is 100% unacceptable. You have my assurance we will identify him.”
The man was swiftly identified by social media users as Tommy Callaway, using his marathon bib number. He is reportedly a youth church minister from Statesboro, Georgia. He has now been banned from running in future events and the police have been notified about the incident.
Here are some of the online responses.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter is a gas giant, along with Saturn, with the other two giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, being ice giants. Jupiter was known to astronomers of ancient times. The Romans named it after their god Jupiter. When viewed from Earth, Jupiter can reach an apparent magnitude of −2.94, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. Although only one-eighth the average density of Earth, with its larger volume Saturn is just over 95 times more massive. Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture; its astronomical symbol (♄) represents the god's sickle.

version 0.0.1
This pile provides support for an application that
|
This pile provides support for an application that wants to deal with multiple languages and chooses to use Qt5 internally and for translation management.
The application is expected to create a directory to hold language-dependent files (say internationalization
) that contains one folder for each language and the CMakeLists.txt file calls internationalizationDirectory()
macro.
The macro will search for .ts files and run them through Qt system and will install generated .qm files in share/locales/${project}
along with the other components.
Each language directory needs to have at least one file called metadata.ini
.
[General] label=English icon=icon.png translate=strings-en locale=en_GB additional=a.txt;b.txt;c.txt;d.txt
The format is supported by Qt's QSettings and is also parsed by CMake script in order to extract meaningful values. For this reason the format has a few limitations:
- no white spaces should appear on either side of equal (=) sign - semicolon (;) character may cause problems
Other keys may appear in this file but only these are meaningful for this pile.
label
is the text that will be presented to the user and should be a (short) name of the language.
icon
is the image to be presented in GUI applications along with the label;
translate
is both the name of the .ts file located in same directory as the metadata.ini
file as well as the name of the compiled .qm
file that will be generated and installed. The .ts
file does not need to exist but it will be created by the script in source directory. One thing to keep in mind is that the .qm
files are generated in same directory and, thus, the name must be unique across all language files.
additional
is the list of additional files to be installed in language directory. The list should be separated by semicolons (;).
The CMake script creates an additional target called translate
that is always builded.
Files are installed in either ${PROJECT_NAME}.app/Contents/Resources/translations/${lang}
for MacOs or in share/locale/${PROJECT_NAME_UNIX}/${lang}
for the rest.
Translate
class acts as a manager that is capable of locating, reading and storing the languages. Each language is represented as a TransLang
. Code can then iterate and set current language.

MEAGAN HALL
08.24.17
For the new semester, the Women’s Center and the LGBT Center have one main goal – being inclusive.
Both centers will make efforts to increase intersectionality within their programs, following efforts from last year.
Meagan Hall | For The Post
The Women's Center is Located on the fourth floor in Baker Center.
The Women’s Center will restructure its events this year to increase manageability, M. Geneva Murray, the director of the Women’s Center, said. The center will not be hosting any night events and will instead increase its programming during the day.
Among those day programs is a collaboration with the Multicultural Center to support of women of color. The new program will focus on issues from networking to ways to handle racial microaggression or sexual harassment within the workplace.
Though the program has not yet begun, Murray said it has already received support from student groups on campus
“We’re hoping that that (support) will help grow the program so we’re touching not just women of color who are in student groups, but also outside of student groups to ensure that they are getting attention to the issues that matter to them,” Murray said.
The Women’s Center will also offer a mentoring program for students, salary negotiation workshops as well as workshops focusing on self-development.
“We’re really hopeful that people will make this a commitment to themselves for self-improvement and their own professional development,” Murray said.
One of the larger events the Women’s Center will be hosting in October is a display of a monument quilt at Peden Stadium. Organized by FORCE, an activist organization from Baltimore, the quilt is sewed by and focuses on the stories of sexual assault survivors.
“The quilt is a very visible way of showing the impact of sexual assault within our communities,” Murray said. “It’s important we’re focusing and centering on survivor’s stories rather than always talking about perpetrator prevention.”
On the other hand, the LGBT Center will continue its usual programs, but is planning to make adjustments to them, delfin bautista, the director of the LGBT Center, said.
Among those programs is the Queer Hollywood series. The center has reached out to collaborate with Multicultural Activists Coalition and Ebony Minds, a new student organization on campus, to work on a film series focusing on the intersections between queerness with race and ethnicity.
“It’s been a lot of fun, and people seem to enjoy it,” bautista, who uses they/them pronouns and the lowercase spelling of their name, said. “It’s been a nice way of raising awareness about different identities and ... LGBT history, LGBT narratives. And they’re good discussion starters.”
The LGBT Center will also continue its Self Care series and hopes to include Athens residents and local businesses in the program this year.
The idea to connect students to local residents began when bautista met the owners of local business Dirty Girl Coffee during the Athens Pride Fest in June. The meeting “sparked the idea of bringing queer folks in the community into the center, as well as supporting the work that they do in the community,” bautista said.
There are also plans to hold an evening of discussion between OU College Republicans, OU College Democrats and the LGBT Center, bautista said. Though the Campus Conversations have created opportunity for dialogue, bautista said they “feel that it’s like-minded people speaking with like-minded people.”
“The opportunity to have a messy and tense conversation doesn’t always happen,” bautista said. “But I think we need to have those conversations, considering what’s happening politically in our country at the moment.”

Environment Agency issues new flood warning for Devon
People near Rivers Clyst and Culm and their tributaries are urged to be prepared
by Max ChannonThe Environment Agency has issued a new flood warning for Devon. It had already issued warnings in Cornwall, but at 10:51am it issued an additional alert for the Rivers Clyst and Culm and their tributaries.
The Met Office had already issued a two day weather warning for all of Devon and Cornwall, that comes into force at noon today, warning of persistent rain leading to some flooding and disruption".
Now, the Environment Agency is urging people in Devon to be prepared.
Its alert reads: "Flooding is possible today and overnight.
"Over the last 24 hours we have seen heavy rainfall over mid and east Devon. This has meant that the Rivers Clyst and Culm are now rising.
"River levels will remain high and flooding to low lying land and roads is likely.
"Further rain is forecast during the rest of Friday and overnight. This will cause river levels to rise again with further flooding expected in the area.
"We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the area checking for and clearing blockages. This message will be updated on Saturday morning or earlier if the situation changes.
"Take care near the areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions."
The Environment Agency says the "best way to protect yourself from flooding is to know what to do in advance".
It says: "We issue 3 levels of flood warnings:
Flood alert - Prepare (the warning that is now in place)
- prepare a bag that includes medicines and insurance documents
- check flood warnings
Flood warning - Act
- turn off gas, water and electricity
- move things upstairs or to safety
- move family, pets and car to safety
Severe flood warning - Survive
- call 999 if in immediate danger
- follow advice from emergency services
- keep yourself and your family safe

 They unfairly wield their powers to exact their own self-righteous brand of punishment, assuming the role of judge, jury and executioner. These themes were recently played out in the well-received Copland and the entertainingly artsy LA Confidential. Here, in this undermarketed film, the writers revisit this theme, but the movie is not some lush, cinematographic presentation, coated with heavy ambiance. Rather, it strips away the artistic fluff to give us a gritty look at two bad cops desperately trying to dig themselves out of a situation gone bad.
Jim Belushi plays Detective DiVinci, a morally deprived, self-centered, and prototypical 'bad cop.' He has bad taste in clothes, a penchant to use the "F" word whenever possible, a bad attitude, and a corrupt soul. His partner in crime and punishment is Rodriguez (the late Tupac Shakur), who is more reserved and slowly develops a bad taste for the killings. Their scam is simple, yet deadly. These two sell drugs to dealers. But once the exchange is made, the cops kill the buyer, take back the drugs to sell to someone else, and pockets the money. The murders are meant to seem gang-related. They see nothing wrong in taking the spoils of their quarry. In their eyes, slaying drug dealers reduces crime while making them rich.
Unfortunately, the victim of their latest killing is an undercover DEA agent, which immediately brings a large investigation into the faces of DiVinci and Rodriguez. They work quickly to deflect their guilt. They manipulate the evidence, look for scapegoats, falsify claims, and then uses the flag of authority to cover their tracks. But with each cleverly calculated move, a surprise sets them back. Things become steadily more interesting as the two cops in charge of finding themselves must find a way out.
This film does well to offer pure drama, although the dialogue is quite raw. It didn't cheat us with car chases, explosions, or ridiculous body counts. The writer-director, Jim Kouf, has a good story to tell and makes it affecting. Shakur exudes an appealingly fragile charisma as the conscious-stricken cop. As he continues to question the path that they are on., he begins to stray away from their partnership. Belushi is also quite good as his ever-growing sleazy counterpart. As the situation gets more and more out of control, we see the chaos that springs from vigilantism and we feel the tensions that surround a partnership under extreme duress. Nonetheless, DiVinci continues on with his amoral pep talks, which further alienates his partner. We are not only treated to an engrossing psychological war displayed between these two, but are also rewarded with a clever sequence of events where the two cops try to maneuver out of their guilt. I was satisfied with the way the story stayed focused on the frailties of human nature. You'll find that this film offers no heroes nor villains. In some well-told stories, they're actually one in the same.

Apache Flink 1.9.0 Release Announcement
August 22, 2019 -The Apache Flink community is proud to announce the release of Apache Flink 1.9.0.
The Apache Flink project’s goal is to develop a stream processing system to unify and power many forms of real-time and offline data processing applications as well as event-driven applications. In this release, we have made a huge step forward in that effort, by integrating Flink’s stream and batch processing capabilities under a single, unified runtime.
Significant features on this path are batch-style recovery for batch jobs and a preview of the new Blink-based query engine for Table API and SQL queries. We are also excited to announce the availability of the State Processor API, which is one of the most frequently requested features and enables users to read and write savepoints with Flink DataSet jobs. Finally, Flink 1.9 includes a reworked WebUI and previews of Flink’s new Python Table API and its integration with the Apache Hive ecosystem.
This blog post describes all major new features and improvements, important changes to be aware of and what to expect moving forward. For more details, check the complete release changelog.
The binary distribution and source artifacts for this release are now
available via the Downloads page of
the Flink project, along with the updated
documentation.
Flink 1.9 is API-compatible with previous 1.x releases for APIs annotated with
the @Public
annotation.
Please feel encouraged to download the release and share your thoughts with the community through the Flink mailing lists or JIRA. As always, feedback is very much appreciated!
New Features and Improvements #
Fine-grained Batch Recovery (FLIP-1) #
The time to recover a batch (DataSet, Table API and SQL) job from a task failure was significantly reduced. Until Flink 1.9, task failures in batch jobs were recovered by canceling all tasks and restarting the whole job, i.e, the job was started from scratch and all progress was voided. With this release, Flink can be configured to limit the recovery to only those tasks that are in the same failover region. A failover region is the set of tasks that are connected via pipelined data exchanges. Hence, the batch-shuffle connections of a job define the boundaries of its failover regions. More details are available in FLIP-1.
To use this new failover strategy, you need to do the following settings:
- Make sure you have the entry
jobmanager.execution.failover-strategy: region
in yourflink-conf.yaml
.
Note: The configuration of the 1.9 distribution has that entry by default, but when reusing a configuration file from previous setups, you have to add it manually.
Moreover, you need to set the ExecutionMode
of batch jobs in the
ExecutionConfig
to BATCH
to configure that data shuffles are not pipelined
and jobs have more than one failover region.
The “Region” failover strategy also improves the recovery of “embarrassingly parallel” streaming jobs, i.e., jobs without any shuffle like keyBy() or rebalance. When such a job is recovered, only the tasks of the affected pipeline (failover region) are restarted. For all other streaming jobs, the recovery behavior is the same as in prior Flink versions.
State Processor API (FLIP-43) #
Up to Flink 1.9, accessing the state of a job from the outside was limited to the (still) experimental Queryable State. This release introduces a new, powerful library to read, write and modify state snapshots using the batch DataSet API. In practice, this means:
- Flink job state can be bootstrapped by reading data from external systems, such as external databases, and converting it into a savepoint.
- State in savepoints can be queried using any of Flink’s batch APIs (DataSet, Table, SQL), for example to analyze relevant state patterns or check for discrepancies in state that can support application auditing or troubleshooting.
- The schema of state in savepoints can be migrated offline, compared to the previous approach requiring online migration on schema access.
- Invalid data in savepoints can be identified and corrected.
The new State Processor API covers all variations of snapshots: savepoints, full checkpoints and incremental checkpoints. More details are available in FLIP-43
Stop-with-Savepoint (FLIP-34) #
Cancelling with a
savepoint
is a common operation for stopping/restarting, forking or updating Flink jobs.
However, the existing implementation did not guarantee output persistence to
external storage systems for exactly-once sinks. To improve the end-to-end
semantics when stopping a job, Flink 1.9 introduces a new SUSPEND
mode to
stop a job with a savepoint that is consistent with the emitted data.
You can suspend a job with Flink’s CLI client as follows:
bin/flink stop -p [:targetDirectory] :jobId
The final job state is set to FINISHED
on success, allowing
users to detect failures of the requested operation.
More details are available in FLIP-34
Flink WebUI Rework #
After a discussion about modernizing the internals of Flink’s WebUI, this component was reconstructed using the latest stable version of Angular — basically, a bump from Angular 1.x to 7.x. The redesigned version is the default in 1.9.0, however there is a link to switch to the old WebUI.
Note: Moving forward, feature parity for the old version of the WebUI will not be guaranteed.
Preview of the new Blink SQL Query Processor #
Following the donation of
Blink to
Apache Flink, the community worked on integrating Blink’s query optimizer and
runtime for the Table API and SQL. As a first step, we refactored the
monolithic flink-table
module into smaller modules
(FLIP-32).
This resulted in a clear separation of and well-defined interfaces between the
Java and Scala API modules and the optimizer and runtime modules.
Next, we extended Blink’s planner to implement the new optimizer interface such that there are now two pluggable query processors to execute Table API and SQL statements: the pre-1.9 Flink processor and the new Blink-based query processor. The Blink-based query processor offers better SQL coverage (full TPC-H coverage in 1.9, TPC-DS coverage is planned for the next release) and improved performance for batch queries as the result of more extensive query optimization (cost-based plan selection and more optimization rules), improved code-generation, and tuned operator implementations. The Blink-based query processor also provides a more powerful streaming runner, with some new features (e.g. dimension table join, TopN, deduplication) and optimizations to solve data-skew in aggregation and more useful built-in functions.
Note: The semantics and set of supported operations of the query processors are mostly, but not fully aligned.
However, the integration of Blink’s query processor is not fully completed
yet. Therefore, the pre-1.9 Flink processor is still the default processor in
Flink 1.9 and recommended for production settings. You can enable the Blink
processor by configuring it via the EnvironmentSettings
when creating a
TableEnvironment
. The selected processor must be on the classpath of the
executing Java process. For cluster setups, both query processors are
automatically loaded with the default configuration. When running a query from
your IDE you need to explicitly add a planner
dependency
to your project.
Other Improvements to the Table API and SQL #
Besides the exciting progress around the Blink planner, the community worked on a whole set of other improvements to these interfaces, including:
-
Scala-free Table API and SQL for Java users (FLIP-32)
As part of the refactoring and splitting of the flink-table module, two separate API modules for Java and Scala were created. For Scala users, nothing really changes, but Java users can use the Table API and/or SQL now without pulling in a Scala dependency.
-
Rework of the Table API Type System (FLIP-37)
The community implemented a new data type system to detach the Table API from Flink’s TypeInformation class and improve its compliance with the SQL standard. This is still a work in progress and expected to be completed in the next release. In Flink 1.9, UDFs are―among other things―not ported to the new type system yet.
-
Multi-column and Multi-row Transformations for Table API (FLIP-29)
The functionality of the Table API was extended with a set of transformations that support multi-row and/or multi-column inputs and outputs. These transformations significantly ease the implementation of processing logic that would be cumbersome to implement with relational operators.
-
New, Unified Catalog APIs (FLIP-30)
We reworked the catalog APIs to store metadata and unified the handling of internal and external catalogs. This effort was mainly initiated as a prerequisite for the Hive integration (see below), but improves the overall convenience of managing catalog metadata in Flink. Besides improving the catalog interfaces, we also extended their functionality. Previously table definitions for Table API or SQL queries were volatile. With Flink 1.9, the metadata of tables which are registered with a SQL DDL statement can be persisted in a catalog. This means you can add a table that is backed by a Kafka topic to a Metastore catalog and from then on query this table whenever your catalog is connected to Metastore.
-
DDL Support in the SQL API (FLINK-10232)
Up to this point, Flink SQL only supported DML statements (e.g.
SELECT
,INSERT
). External tables (table sources and sinks) had to be registered via Java/Scala code or configuration files. For 1.9, we added support for SQL DDL statements to register and remove tables and views (CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE)
. However, we did not add stream-specific syntax extensions to define timestamp extraction and watermark generation, yet. Full support for streaming use cases is planned for the next release.
Preview of Full Hive Integration (FLINK-10556) #
Apache Hive is widely used in Hadoop’s ecosystem to store and query large amounts of structured data. Besides being a query processor, Hive features a catalog called Metastore to manage and organize large datasets. A common integration point for query processors is to integrate with Hive’s Metastore in order to be able to tap into the data managed by Hive.
Recently, the community started implementing an external catalog for Flink’s Table API and SQL that connects to Hive’s Metastore. In Flink 1.9, users will be able to query and process all data that is stored in Hive. As described earlier, you will also be able to persist metadata of Flink tables in Metastore. Moreover, the Hive integration includes support to use Hive’s UDFs in Flink Table API or SQL queries. More details are available in FLINK-10556.
While, previously, table definitions for Table API or SQL queries were always volatile, the new catalog connector additionally allows persisting a table in Metastore that is created with a SQL DDL statement (see above). This means that you connect to Metastore and register a table that is, for example, backed by a Kafka topic. From now on, you can query that table whenever your catalog is connected to Metastore.
Please note that the Hive support in Flink 1.9 is experimental. We are planning to stabilize these features for the next release and are looking forward to your feedback.
Preview of the new Python Table API (FLIP-38) #
This release also introduces a first version of a Python Table API (FLIP-38). This marks the start towards our goal of bringing full-fledged Python support to Flink. The feature was designed as a slim Python API wrapper around the Table API, basically translating Python Table API method calls into Java Table API calls. In the initial version that ships with Flink 1.9, the Python Table API does not support UDFs yet, but just standard relational operations. Support for UDFs implemented in Python is on the roadmap for future releases.
If you’d like to try the new Python API, you have to manually install
PyFlink.
From there, you can have a look at this
walkthrough
or explore it on your own. The community is currently
working
on preparing a pyflink
Python package that will be made available for
installation via pip
.
Important Changes #
- The Table API and SQL are now part of the default configuration of the Flink distribution. Before, the Table API and SQL had to be enabled by moving the corresponding JAR file from ./opt to ./lib.
- The machine learning library (flink-ml) has been removed in preparation for FLIP-39.
- The old DataSet and DataStream Python APIs have been removed in favor of FLIP-38.
- Flink can be compiled and run on Java 9. Note that certain components interacting with external systems (connectors, filesystems, reporters) may not work since the respective projects may have skipped Java 9 support.

Hello World Tweet
I made this blog so that I could write about things that I would like to understand more about. First, I need to learn more about jekyll and markdown. You can find the raw version of this blog here.
Let me start playing by adding some snippets of code.
from Earth import FunctionsOftheUniverse
print "Hello World"
We can also try to put in an equation inline. Like this: . A centered formula can be written like this: \[ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a} \] How about highlighting in texts in color? Here is some blue text. And here is some Red Bold text.
That wasn’t so hard but took me around 4 hours to get all the settings right!

The syntax for writing client transactions is the same on the Java client as with any other Geode member, but the underlying behavior in a client-run transaction is different from general transaction behavior.
For general information about running a transaction, refer to How to Run a Geode Cache Transaction.
How Geode Runs Client Transactions
When a client performs a transaction, the transaction is delegated to a server that acts as the transaction initiator in the server system. As with regular, non-client transactions, this server delegate may or may not be the transaction host.
In this figure, the application code on the client makes changes to data entries Y and Z within a transaction. The delegate performing the transaction (M1) does not host the primary copy of the data being modified. The transaction takes place on the server containing this data (M2).
Client Cache Access During a Transaction
To maintain cache consistency, Geode blocks access to the local client cache during a transaction. The local client cache may reflect information inconsistent with the transaction in progress. When the transaction completes, the local cache is accessible again.
Client Transactions and Client Application Plug-Ins
Any plug-ins installed in the client are not invoked by the client-run transaction. The client that initiates the transaction receives changes from its server based on transaction operations the same as any other client - through mechanisms like subscriptions and continuous query results. The client transaction is performed by the server delegate, where application plug-ins operate the same as if the server were the sole initiator of the transaction.
Client Transaction Failures
In addition to the failure conditions common to all transactions, client transactions can fail if the transaction delegate fails. If the delegate performing the transaction fails, the transaction code throws a transaction exception. See Transaction Exceptions.

Tooltips are text labels that appear when the user hovers over, focuses on, or touches an element.
Tooltips identify an element when they are activated. They may contain brief helper text about its function.
For example, they may contain text information about actionable icons.
Tooltip labels do not receive input focus.
In the next example we will show you how to use a tooltip.

Documentation / Introduction / Finder
Finder
io.ebean.Finder
is a base class that we can extend to create "finders"
for each entity bean. The purpose of "finders" is to group all the queries for the
given bean type together in one place rather than have the queries spread out across
the cost base.
We don't have to use Finders and when we don't we typically either put queries in the
service layer code or use repositories
.
Example
public class CustomerFinder extends Finder<Long,Customer> {
public CustomerFinder() {
super(Customer.class);
}
// Add customer finder methods ...
public Customer byName(String name) {
return query().eq("name", name).findOne();
}
public List<Customer> findNew() {
return query().where()
.eq("status", Customer.Status.NEW)
.orderBy("name")
.findList()
}
}
@Entity
public class Customer extends BaseModel {
public static final CustomerFinder find = new CustomerFinder();
...
}
Once we have a finder as a field on an entity bean we can then use it via.
Customer rob = Customer.find.byName("Rob");
List<Customer> customers = Customer.find.findNew();
Testing with mocki-ebean
For testing purposes we can use mocki-ebean to replace the finder implementation with a test double. Note that with docker based testing this is rarely used now and instead component testing against real databases (docker based) is used instead.
Finder generation via ebeaninit
We can use the ebeaninit command line tool to generate finders for us (both for Java and Kotlin).


Javascript vs Ruby
The subtitle, if you want it
5/3/15
Javascript(JS) and Ruby are both object oriented languages (Javascript also uses prototypes) as opposed to a language like html which is called a markup language.
Object oriented languages treat everything as an object with values that can be modified. This includes things like functions or constants. Both languages have similar objects such as strings( "Hat" ), arrays( arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] ), booleans( true && true ), numbers( 5 ), and comparisons( < ).
Because both JS and Ruby are object oriented they behave in very similar ways. They do have certain syntax differences. Ruby uses "end" after a loop beginning and has part of the loop ( i += 1 ) within the argument. JS would use (loop){argument}; to create the loop then encompass what is being looped.
loop in ruby i = 0 while i < 5 p "This is iteration #{i}" i += 1 end
Loop in javascript
Both loops perform the same function (except the Ruby one might add quotes around the string) and while the loops are written differently, they still contain many of the same statements; i = 0, i < 5, i += 1 (i++ in the JS example, but I could have used "i += 1"). Other similarities between the languages are the terms break (which escapes the current loop) and return (which tells the computer to hold the answer from the loop). With return however, JS requires you to use it if you want to hold the answer where Ruby automatically returns the last thing that happened in a method.

"I truly do agree with you that we don't wanna just upset people and lose awhole bunch of people. ", that's actually my point. As a HODLer, I want to support the coin because I believe in the tech. But if you unnecessarily alienate and marginalize supporters, you start working against your own best interests. And if a decision like that is made in 30 seconds with no real dispute like the one I've brought here, that's very alarming. Then you end up with people in my inbox, seeing me sispute some points for apparently the first time ever, who are raging upset with KMD for the decision, and want to see it fail. That's not healthy for the coin or the community, even if its an extremely acute minority of the community. I know this might sound like heresy, but not all decisions can be tech first, community last like this one has been.

Gets a stream (video and or audio) from the local computer.
Use MediaStream.supported to check if this is supported by the current
platform. The arguments audio
and video
default to false
(stream does
not use audio or video, respectively).
Simple example usage:
window.navigator.getUserMedia(audio: true, video: true).then((stream) {
var video = new VideoElement()
..autoplay = true
..src = Url.createObjectUrlFromStream(stream);
document.body.append(video);
});
The user can also pass in Maps to the audio or video parameters to specify
mandatory and optional constraints for the media stream. Not passing in a
map, but passing in true
will provide a MediaStream with audio or
video capabilities, but without any additional constraints. The particular
constraint names for audio and video are still in flux, but as of this
writing, here is an example providing more constraints.

After travelling for 16,5 hours, I've finally arrived in Los Angeles. I'm travelling with a good collegue of mine. We transfered in Amsterdam. I was unlucky and obviously the worlds tallast man got seat right in front of me. He insisted in having his seat laid down, which made the journey somewhat discomfortable. And it wasn't better when large frenchman sat next to me, he had some difficulties in using only on seat... Service was okay and they showed the new Indiana Jones movie, that together with the excitement of soon partipating in years biggest and most important developer conference made the journey worthwhile.
I'll get back tomorrow when I've finished the Advanced Windows Debugging pre-con session.


In this part of the program a file which contains the coordinates of centre points is set up. For this a bitmap is imported which contains a picture of the plane with the deformed markers. The data file is constructed by clicking on the centres of all markers..

StubsBy default JRemoting will deliver client server capabilty without the need for the user to make stubs classes (like Java's RMI did with the rmic operation). Reflections's dynamic proxy capability is used to deliver that. There are problems with this approach. Foremost is that it will not work in a client that is an applet that is trying to exist inside the 'sandbox' without extra permissions. There's also a speed issue, but its barely significant. BCEL StubsBCEL is an Apache technology that can make Java class files at runtime. We optionally use that to make Stub classes. BcelStubGeneratorUse this like RMI's rmic. It can make stubs in advance of need. This will allow you to include the stub in the jar file your making for your client, or to put in a more general stubs jar that you will keep on the client side. Use in Maven2 like so: <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.jremoting</groupId> <artifactId>jremoting-tools</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>SomeName</id> <phase>test-compile</phase> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> <configuration> <genName>SomeName</genName> <facade>com.foo.YourFacade</facade> <classGenDir>target/stub-classes</classGenDir> <secondaryFacades>com.foo.AnotherFacade,com.foo.YetAnotherFacade</secondaryFacades> <verbose>true</verbose> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> Client usageStubsOnClientJRemoting will look in the client's classpath for the Stub class. You will have generated the Stub class in question and bundled in the application jar destined for the client. This is good for applets, which by default cannot dynamically mount classes or classloaders. StubsFromServerJRemoting will ask the server for the Stub class (and mount it in a classloader meaning it will also have the applet problems above). For this mode, the server can either retrieve the Stubs from the server's classpath (FromClassLoaderStubRetriever), or from a separate jar (JarFileStubRetriever), or make them dynamically with BcelDynamicStubRetriever. In the constructor for the SocketServer (or PipedServer, or RmiServer) the StubRetriever instance is passed in. StubsViaReflectionStubs are made dynamically via Java's reflection. These will not be safe for applet clients that are in the sandbox, and are slightly slower than generated stubs. |

1 Motivation
Running a regression in R yields unstandardized coefficients, not standardized ones. However, as is spelled out by eg., Gelman and Hill (2007), standardizing values is of advantages in many situations. This post shows how run a regression in R using standardized values as inputs (“standardized regression” for short, as some dup it).
The advantage of standardizing input variables is the simpler comparison of importance. It can be seen as undesirable that the scaling (SD) of the input variable determines (in part) the regression coefficient. For instance, measuring the “power” of a car in horse power or in kilowatt will strongly influence the value of the regression coefficient. Similarly, measuring the distance walked in kilomweters or in millimeters will have an profound effect on the respective regression coefficient on, say, the amount of fat burned (in grams or in kilo grams…).
Hence, having all variables on the same scale will facilitate easy comparison of the “importance” of each variable, as now all variables are on the same scale.
The most common way to standardize the variable \(X\) is to use the \(z\) transformation:
\[z_i = \frac{x_i - \mu}{sd_X}\]
2 Load packages
library(tidyverse) # data wrangling
library(broom) # tidy regression output
library(mosaic) # standardizing variables
3 Some data
mtcars <- read_csv("https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/Rdatasets/csv/datasets/mtcars.csv")
4 Research question
Say, we are interested in the association of horse power (hp
) and fuel consumption (mpg
; miles per gallon): What’s the difference in the fuel consumption between cars which differ in their horse power?
5 Regression with unstandardized input variables
lm1 <- lm(mpg ~ hp, data = mtcars)
tidy(lm1)
| term | estimate | std.error | statistic | p.value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Intercept) | 30.0988605 | 1.6339210 | 18.421246 | 0e+00 |
| hp | -0.0682283 | 0.0101193 | -6.742388 | 2e-07 |
As cen be seen in the output, our model lm1
estimates that the cars which differ in 1 hp, differ in -0.07 miles per gallon, on overage (and given the model is true). That is, a car with 1 hp more, goes 0.07 miles less (compared to a car with 1 hp less).
6 Standardize input variables
mtcars_standardized <-
mtcars %>%
mutate(hp_s = scale(hp))
As we see, scale
does the trick, that is the z transformation. For example:
x <- c(0,10, 20)
scale(x)
| -1 |
| 0 |
| 1 |
Let’s double check:
x_mean <- mean(x)
x_sd <- sd(x)
z <- (x - mean(x)) / sd(x)
z
#> [1] -1 0 1
It’s not so nice that scale()
takes a vector as input, but hands back a matrix.
A similar function, zscore()
is provided by the package {mosaic}
; this function gives back a vector which is more comfortable:
zscore(x)
#> [1] -1 0 1
7 Regression with standardized input variables
lm2 <- lm(mpg ~ hp_s, data = mtcars_standardized)
tidy(lm2)
| term | estimate | std.error | statistic | p.value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Intercept) | 20.090625 | 0.6828817 | 29.420359 | 0e+00 |
| hp_s | -4.677926 | 0.6938085 | -6.742388 | 2e-07 |
8 The models (lm1
and lm2
) are identical
Have a look at the p-values and the model fit values of both models (lm1
and lm2
) to reassure yourself that both models are indeed equivalant, as it should be:
glance(lm1)
| r.squared | adj.r.squared | sigma | statistic | p.value | df | logLik | AIC | BIC | deviance | df.residual | nobs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6024373 | 0.5891853 | 3.862962 | 45.4598 | 2e-07 | 1 | -87.61931 | 181.2386 | 185.6358 | 447.6743 | 30 | 32 |
glance(lm2)
| r.squared | adj.r.squared | sigma | statistic | p.value | df | logLik | AIC | BIC | deviance | df.residual | nobs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.6024373 | 0.5891853 | 3.862962 | 45.4598 | 2e-07 | 1 | -87.61931 | 181.2386 | 185.6358 | 447.6743 | 30 | 32 |
9 Interpretation of a standardized regression coefficient
“According to our model, lm2
, cars differ in their fuel consumption (measured as miles consumed per gallon) such that a cars with 1 SD higher horse power value consume one average approx. 5 gallons less fuel.”
