Usage
Display
You can display a dimmer by either invoking .dimmer('show') on a section or a dimmer itself. If you choose to dim a dimmable section, a dimmer will automatically be created.
Creating Dimmers
If a dimmer does not exist inside the element it will be created on first use.
Showing a specific dimmer
If a dimmer is already inside an element, you can call behavior on the dimmable section or the dimmer itself.
Behavior
All the following behaviors can be called using the syntax:
| Behavior | Description |
|---|---|
| add content (element) | Detaches a given element from DOM and reattaches element inside dimmer |
| show | Shows dimmer |
| hide | Hides dimmer |
| toggle | Toggles current dimmer visibility |

Harkilgamed:
Is it so surprising?
In the course of your journeys you must have encountered some of the remaining Giants. In Krumatap, the cave of the Giants, many were born, like a race of prisoners...
But the war between the Giants and the gods is beside the point right now.
The important thing is, how did the Kamael come into existence? There was a problem, you see. Do you have any idea what it was?
I don't know.

The story opens with Santiago having gone 84 days without catching a fish, and now being seen as "salao", the worst form of unluckiness. He is so unlucky that his young apprentice, Manolin, has been forbidden by his parents to sail with him and has been told instead to fish with successful fishermen.

Santiago tells Manolin that on the next day, he will venture far out into the Gulf Stream, north of Cuba in the Straits of Florida to fish, confident that his unlucky streak is near its end. |

Science book Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream. |

Cats & Dogs (2001) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/
"Son of my mom!"
Featuring the voice talents of Tobey Maguire, Alec Baldwin, Sean Hayes, Susan Sarandon, Joe Pantoliano, Michael Clarke Duncan, and starring Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Perkins, Alexander Pollock and Miriam Margolyes. Directed by Lawrence Guterman. Rated PG.
While other films have had it as a subplot, Cats & Dogs is probably the first film to focus on the eon-old rivalry between the two titular species. You'd think, though, that said rivalry would be domestic in nature, consisting of kitchen hijinks, running up trees and other varied kinds of Tom & Jerry-style ephemera. But, since all American movies must take their subjects to their logical conclusions, the cats and dogs here have their own secret societies, complete with elaborate plans for world domination.
There are human characters as well, namely Professor Brody (Jeff Goldblum), his wife (Elizabeth Perkins) and his pre-teen son Scott (Alexander Pollock). Professor Brody is working on a formula to eliminate dog allergies in humans. This formula is very important to the dog underworld, of course, since their world still revolves around humans despite having technology that's just as advanced. To the cats, led by the nefarious Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes), the formula spells (smells?) disaster, and they want to steal it. Meanwhile, in their own labs, they work on a way to reverse the formula to make all humans allergic to dogs.
After the canine agent in charge of protecting the Brody formula is dognapped, headquarters sends in a new agent, a young recruit straight out of the Academy. He never gets there. Instead, the Brodys get a clueless young beagle pup named Lou (Tobey Maguire), who wouldn't know a walkie-talkie if it rammed him on the head. It's up to him, then, with support by a next-door veteran agent (Alec Baldwin) to protect the formula against Russian spy cats, ninja cats and other feline schemes.
Cats & Dogs' script is completely commercial and conventional, likely written and rewritten until an executive thought it was in the best form to please the most people. That the film still works is the result of seamless special effects, solid performances by reliable stars and those flashes of imagination that were still left over. I like the way that the doggie underworld was depicted; it's always good to see a movie that isn't afraid to look a little silly. I like, too, that the film made the cats villains. I've always thought there was something sinister about those creatures and Cats & Dogs confirms my suspicions. Actually, I'm just allergic to them and I'm venting my anger. Don't mind me.
There are some clever one-liners, such as the painfully obvious but still funny exclamation "Son of my mom!" given to one of the lead canines. Others are just painfully obvious, such as a stray dog calling herself "domestically challenged." And Will and Grace's Sean Hayes is consistently a hoot as Mr. Tinkles; I don't know where the hell he came from all of a sudden, but I want to see more of him in big-screen comedy.
What disappointed me most was the film's decision to turn into a sugary (more like lumpy) boy-and-his-dog tale. Since all eyes are on the special effects and the central inter-species rivalry, nobody in the audience cares whether or not little Scott likes his puppy or not, and neither do the filmmakers. The resulting subplot works best if you ignore it.
You get the idea. The movie is hit-and-miss. But the 90 minutes go by fast, and this is adequate family entertainment.

Online Review of "Circumcision, What it Does"
"Circumcision is an embarrassing subject. To talk openly about it is
taboo. We know it by association with religion, but otherwise only
through jokes and urban legends. Most people don't know much about it,
and parents don't think about it until they have to. The great majority
of American men are circumcised--but why? Shouldn't we know more? Indeed,
there is a lesson here--a fascinating, yet deeply disturbing one--for
those willing to discover it....

--Geoffrey T. Falk, (c) 1996,
Circumcision Information and Resource Pages
Did You Know?... (Factlist about circumcision from the book)
- That medical circumcision started out in the 1800s as a way to
discourage masturbation?

- That infant circumcision is painful, done without anesthesia, and the
most common surgery in the United States?
- That the United States is the only country to circumcise most of its
baby boys for "medical" reasons?
- That the U.S. circumcision rate has dropped from 90% to 58%, and to
less than 50% in California?
- That in some cultures, girls are circumcised, too?
- That infant circumcision is a human rights violation under
international law?
- That Jewish circumcision originally removed only the tip of the
foreskin, and that anti-Semitism made it more severe?
- That there is a support group for Jews who don't circumcise?
- That the main reason parents circumcise is not health or religion, but
to make the boy look like Dad or other boys?
- That impotence, loss of penis, and death can--and do--result from
circumcision?
- That infant circumcision brings U.S. doctors $100,000,000 to
$200,000,000 a year?
Circumcision: What It Does can help you educate yourself on an issue of vital importance
to the health and well-being of our children--and to our sexual
fulfillment as adults.
What readers & reviewers are saying about the book
Circumcision: What It Does
"Thank you for this contribution to male awakening."
"What a jewel of a book."
"Excellent--the right mixture of personal, scientific, and political."
--Jed Diamond, author, The Warrior's Journey Home: Healing Men's
Addictions, Healing the Planet
"A highly useful, supportive resource book for men who have been
adversely affected by their circumcision. [It] should be very helpful in
reestablishing lost feelings of autonomy."
--Hanny Lightfoot Klein, author, Prisoners of Ritual: An Odyssey into
Female Genital Mutilation in Africa
"Persuasively debunks every argument in defense of circumcision, offering
insights into the historical, cultural and medical evolution of the
practice. [The author] displays particular sensitivity to issues of
religion, health, sexuality and parental and infant rights. If you're
trying to make a decision about circumcision or want to know more about
it, read this book."
--Sexuality Library / Good Vibrations, San Francisco
"Well done."
"I really enjoyed your book. I was circumcised after my marriage
twenty-four years ago and I have had wildly fluctuating thoughts over the
wisdom of my action."
"Terrific...Thank you for writing your wonderful book."
--John A. Erickson, Gulf Coast Infant Circumcision Information Center
"I checked 'yes' on the hospital form that asked if I wanted my boy to be
circumcised. I never gave a second thought about it until I read this
book, reluctantly at first. I don't think I wanted to face the reality of
what I had allowed the hospital to do to my baby. This is not a book to
be tossed aside. I wish it had been written sooner."
--The Family Tree
"I never thought about my circumcised state. It was normal for me. You've
made me conscious about a mutilation I did not want, but was unable to
stop."
"A powerful argument against 'genital mutilation.' Debunks as well as
raises health concerns, and discusses cultural and religious issues."
--Big Books from Small Presses
"As a social activist and cultural healer, [the author] addresses this
sensitive topic with clarity and feeling. I particularly benefited by
reading his Principles of Inter-Tribal Criticism."
--Family Vision Quest
"I was extremely impressed. You have undertaken a challenging subject
without the self-righteousness and judgmental overtones that often
accompany such undertakings. It's a thoroughly researched and compelling
piece of work and a sensitive handling [of] the issue of anti-Semitism.
Expressed with fervor but in no way a diatribe...a well-balanced
historical, cultural, and emotional overview."
--Ed Duvin, former editor, animalines
"Highly readable, soul-searching consciousness-raiser directed toward
sexual fulfillment, with no gory photos. A free-thinker's must-have!"
--EIDOS
"If God has created us in His image, then why should we try to improve on
this by mutilating that image?"
"Sets forth the medical, historical, and anthropological background of
the most common surgery performed in the United States, and argues
persuasively for an end to this practice."
--Childbirth Graphics 1991
"Heartfelt thanks. Our first grandchild is soon to be born and we are
concerned that, if a boy, he not become yet another victim."
"Thank you for your book! So many years I felt I was alone in my anger at
being genitally mutilated.  I have been alone with my
grief. Unlike victims of sexual abuse, incest, sexism, etc., our culture
has not yet entitled us to our grief and anger. Thank you for creating
this space for me."
"I thought I would need a psychologist, but now I think perhaps forming a
discussion or support group, along with organizing political action,
would be more appropriate."
"I was horrified at the terrible, hidden realities surrounding a part of
our society that I had never thought about one way or another."
"Like people who, in order to eat their meat in peace, don't want to know
about battery [factory-farmed] chicken, I'm not sure if I like being
circumcision-conscious."
"I was shocked at how close to my own experience all of the quotes were
in Appendix E."
"I loved [the book] and hated it. It stirred up feelings and memories of
my nephew's bris [circumcision ceremony]. As his godmother, it was
necessary for me to partake.  My eyes opened with my heart when I saw my
innocent nephew's pain. Your book has spoken out how I felt. Thank you."
"A lot of thanks for the book."
"I very much enjoyed your book. I am uncircumcised, and I didn't really
realize the advantages of it for a long time. My wife was the one who
most helped me realize what's special in matters sexual about a
foreskin--her first husband was circumcised, so she understood the
difference."
"Although your book made me quite depressed for a while, I think you have
done a tremendous service to mankind by bringing this matter into the
open. When I think about it, as I did after reading your book, I feel a
sense of outrage that this was done to me, and a great regret that--for
no reason--I have been denied the opportunity of the full expression of
my sexuality. Incidentally, everything in Appendix E is true. With
heartfelt thanks for all you have done and are doing."
"[The book] has quite 'blown me away' and I have nothing but the highest
praise for it."
"Helpful and well written. At age 30 I was cut [circumcised] upon the
advice of a physician to eliminate a very minor irritation on my glans.
What happened was a disaster which will haunt me the rest of my life."
"...a most important resource in my teaching and counseling about
circumcision."
"Thank you for your intelligent and courageous book. It was such a
pleasure to read such an eloquently and clearly stated discussion of the
issues."
"I have wanted this book all my life! As an uncut [uncircumcised] man, it
has given me the support I have needed since I was 12 years old; with it,
I could have avoided so much doubt and pain."
"Thank you very much for writing the book. As a psychotherapist, I found
your emphasis on the feelings associated with circumcision very helpful."
"Until I picked up your book, I didn't realize there were others, so many
of them, who felt as strongly as I do."
v
"Heartfelt thanks for bringing to print [this] issue. I had been told in
Medical School that babies didn't really suffer during circumcision.
After I heard the screams of [a] child and watched him turn purple, I
knew I'd been lied to."
"I have generally spoken against circumcision when asked about it
professionally and I periodically have tried to order a book on the
subject to think more deeply about the issue. Your book fills the bill."
"...a book ahead of its time."
A RECENT SERIES OF EMAIL FORWARDED TO THE AUTHOR:
Subject: Kudos to You
Billy: these are from a friend of mine who happens to live with an
acquaintance of yours in Sacramento. Casey and I have only talked about
circ a couple of times and it has NEVER been a "cause" of hers (before).
Keep it up (the good work, I mean!).
Love, Tina
Subject: Aaaagh
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 96 17:05:00 PST
Dear Tina,
I am furious. Someone just announced their infant's circumcision
tomorrow. I jumped up and almost started shouting--Don't do it, don't do
it. He'll have nightmares for years, etc, etc. The general consensus was
that it's too late (can't break an appointment!) and he'll get over it,
etc. And it would be better now than later. Aaagh. At least I got my 2
cents in. The grandfather is paying for it. I never backed down. The last
thing I said was DON'T DO IT!
Gotta run,
See ya.
Casey
Subject: Hooray!!!
Date: Wed, 07 Feb 96 14:20:00 PST
Tina,
I got Billy Ray Boyd's book on circumcision from my roommate. The
circumcision was scheduled for today. When I saw the student assist (the
dad) come in at noon, I figured it was too late. But he said it wasn't
done yet--it was this afternoon. I assumed it was a done deal, that he
and his family weren't interested at this point, but I offered him the
book anyway. Someone just dropped by to tell me that he called his
girlfriend and read her parts from the book, and they cancelled the
appointment. It would have been at 1:30 I think. I am sitting here
stunned. And deliriously happy.
My head is swimming. We did it!!!
Just wanted to pass on the good news! One more baby intact!!
Love,
Casey

Hi, I'm trying to define a map from the intersection of two submodules. Let L and N be submodules of M. Then L \cap N
is a submodule of M, and L\times N
is a module. There is a map x : L \cap N
to (x,x) : L \times N
But I'm not sure how to lift x : L \cap N
to x : L
I think you should use \glb
instead of \cap
. That way you invoke the lattice structure on submodules.
@Ben McDonnell The map from L \glb N
to L
is probably called inf_le_left
.

require 'mongo/object'
connection = Mongo::Connection.new
db = connection.default_test
db.drop
Example of Ruby Object Persistence for [MongoDB Enhanced Driver][mongodb].
Object Persistence allows You to save any Ruby Object to MongoDB as if it's a Document. Objects can be any type, simple or composite with other objects / arrays / hashes inside.
It works by converting object graph to graph of hashes when saving to mongo, and restoring it back when loading.
Objects are converted to hashes by walking over instance variables and converting them to hash entries. Because it uses such simple approach any Ruby Object can be easily saved to Mongo.
Connecting to test database and cleaning it before starting the sample.
require 'mongo/object'
connection = Mongo::Connection.new
db = connection.default_test
db.drop
Let's define Game Unit.
class Unit
Including Mongo::Object.
include Mongo::Object
attr_reader :name, :stats
We need the initializer to be used also without arguments.
def initialize name = nil, stats = nil
@name, @stats = name, stats
end
Creating internal object containing stats of the Unit.
class Stats
include Mongo::Object
attr_accessor :attack, :life, :shield
def initialize attack = nil, life = nil, shield = nil
@attack, @life, @shield = attack, life, shield
end
end
end
Let's create two Heroes.
It uses the same Driver API, everything works the same way as with hashes.
zeratul = Unit.new('Zeratul', Unit::Stats.new(85, 300, 100))
tassadar = Unit.new('Tassadar', Unit::Stats.new(0, 80, 300))
db.units.save zeratul
db.units.save tassadar
Udating, we made error - mistakenly set Tassadar's attack as zero, let's fix it.
tassadar.stats.attack = 20
db.units.save tassadar
Querying first and all documents matching criteria (there's also :each
method,
the same as :all
).
p db.units.first(name: 'Zeratul') # => zeratul
p db.units.all(name: 'Zeratul') # => [zeratul]
db.units.all name: 'Zeratul' do |unit|
p unit # => zeratul
end
Dynamic finders, handy way to do simple queries.
p db.units.by_name('Zeratul') # => zeratul
p db.units.first_by_name('Zeratul') # => zeratul
p db.units.all_by_name('Zeratul') # => [zeratul]
Bang versions, will raise error if nothing found.
p db.units.first!(name: 'Zeratul') # => zeratul
p db.units.by_name!('Zeratul') # => zeratul
Query sugar, use :_gt
instead of :$gt
. It's more convinient to use new hash
syntax {name: {_gt: 'Z'}}
instead of hashrockets {name: {:$gt => 'Z'}}
.
Mongo.defaults[:convert_underscore_to_dollar] = true
p db.units.all(name: {_gt: 'Z'}) # => [zeratul]

Loose Women's Denise Welch celebrates as Katie Hopkins loses her £1m home
She took aim on Twitter
by Richard BellActress and Loose Women favourite Denise Welch appeared to have no sympathy for Katie Hopkins after hearing she was forced to sell her £1m home.
The former Coronation Street star, 61, took to Twitter to take a swipe at the right-wing activist, who said she faced a £500,000 legal bill when she was sued for libel by writer Jack Monroe.
As reported by The Sunday Times, Katie had to sell off her swanky property in Devon and now rents.

Speaking to the publication about her new living arrangements, she said: "I live in a rented, modern, four-bedroom detached house with my husband Mark and our three children, aged 15, 14 and 10.
"It's tucked out of the way for security reasons - our last home was rigged up to the local police station and had panic alarms fitted because of threats I received to my life.
"I was forced to sell it for £950,000 in early 2018 to pay off a legal bill in excess of £500,000."
On Twitter, Denise responded to a Mirror article about the sale and wrote: "Poor old Katie Hopkins. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person."
Actress Kate Ford, who plays Corrie's Tracy Barlow, was among those to respond to the tweet, siding with Denise as she corrected her: "'Wouldn't' have happened to a nicer person xxxx."
One of Denise's followers replied: "Oooh Denise, I used to have a lot of time and respect for you. Now I have a whole lot more."
A number of other Twitter users took a softer stance as they admitted they worried about the impact of it all on Katie's children.
One tweeted: "I always think of her poor kids and the affect of her actions have on them."
Another said: "I don't feel sorry for her she has made all that money after humiliating and causing misery to many for no reason other than to be relevant, I do feel for her children as they have to live it now through her mistakes."

According to the Mirror, Jack Monroe sued Katie for £24,000 in damages in March 2017.
The newspaper reported that Mr Justice Warby ordered the former columnist to pay £107,000 on account of costs within 28 days, although there were also her own legal costs to settle.
Jack had asked the judge to find that she was "defamed" by Katie, who rose to fame after appearing on The Apprentice in 2007. That same year, she featured on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

In this document, we focus on the simulation for haplotype imputation. In particular, we mainly want to address the following questions:
For the sake of simplicity, we plug in the true \(\beta\) and \(\sigma^2\) when evaluating the posterior of \(Z\). In this sense, we are seeking the “best” we could get out of the model and data.
I will take a slightly different approach as comparing to the previous simulation for the preliminary runs on imputation scheme. Since here we work with the true \(\beta\) and \(\sigma\), I skip simulation the genotype and \(\beta\) but treat \(H\beta\) as a whole. Essentially, the things that we need to simulate are just: 1) genetic effect (for each parent, and they are transmitted to the child); 2) environmental effect (for both parents and child). The simulation procedure is as follow:
The followings are some parameters used in the simulation.
heritability = c(0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05)
nsample = 10000
max_npheno = 100
This section is just code. I did the very explicit coding to make it as readable as possible. The short notice is that \(G^1\) comes from father and \(G^2\) comes from mother in this simulation. Skip if you’re comfortable with skipping.
G1_by_h2 = list()
G2_by_h2 = list()
Yf_by_h2 = list()
Ym_by_h2 = list()
# loop over all heritabilities
for(h2 in heritability) {
G1_list = list()
G2_list = list()
Yf_list = list()
Ym_list = list()
# loop over phenotypes
for(pp in 1 : max_npheno) {
# parental variables
Gf1 = rnorm(nsample, sd = sqrt(h2 / 2))
Gf2 = rnorm(nsample, sd = sqrt(h2 / 2))
Gm1 = rnorm(nsample, sd = sqrt(h2 / 2))
Gm2 = rnorm(nsample, sd = sqrt(h2 / 2))
Ef = rnorm(nsample, sd = sqrt(1 - h2))
Em = rnorm(nsample, sd = sqrt(1 - h2))
Yf_list[[length(Yf_list) + 1]] = Gf1 + Gf2 + Ef
Ym_list[[length(Ym_list) + 1]] = Gm1 + Gm2 + Em
# transmission to child
G1_list[[length(G1_list) + 1]] = Gf1
G2_list[[length(G2_list) + 1]] = Gm1
}
# collecting results
Yf = do.call(cbind, Yf_list)
Ym = do.call(cbind, Ym_list)
G1 = do.call(cbind, G1_list)
G2 = do.call(cbind, G2_list)
# add to *_by_h2
Yf_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]] = Yf
Ym_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]] = Ym
G1_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]] = G1
G2_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]] = G2
}
With many simplification due to the setup (knowing true \(\beta\) and \(\sigma^2\) and both sexes share the same model), the “best” imputation of \(Z\) (indicating \(G^1\) is from father) is:
\[\begin{aligned} \gamma &:= \Pr(Z = 1 | Y^f, Y^m, G^1, G^2) \\ &= \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\frac{L_0 - L_1}{2\sigma^2}}} \\ L_1 &:= \sum_j (Y^{f, j} - G^{1, j})^2 + (Y^{m, j} - G^{2, j})^2 \\ L_0 &:= \sum_j (Y^{f, j} - G^{2, j})^2 + (Y^{m, j} - G^{1, j})^2 \end{aligned}\] where \(j\) indicates phenotype.
slice_m = function(mat, p) {
mat[, 1 : p, drop = FALSE]
}
sq_diff = function(y, g) {
rowSums((g - y) ^ 2)
}
eval_gamma = function(yf, ym, g1, g2, sigma2) {
L1 = sq_diff(yf, g1) + sq_diff(ym, g2)
L0 = sq_diff(yf, g2) + sq_diff(ym, g1)
1 / (1 + exp(- (L0 - L1) / 2 / sigma2))
}
# loop over all heritabilities
gamma_list = list()
for(h2 in heritability) {
Yf = Yf_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]]
Ym = Ym_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]]
G1 = G1_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]]
G2 = G2_by_h2[[as.character(h2)]]
# loop over the number of phenotypes
for(pp in 1 : max_npheno) {
gamma_list[[length(gamma_list) + 1]] = data.frame(
gamma = eval_gamma(slice_m(Yf, pp), slice_m(Ym, pp), slice_m(G1, pp), slice_m(G2, pp), 1 - h2),
npheno = pp,
heritability = h2
)
}
}
gamma_df = do.call(rbind, gamma_list)
We visualize by plotting the \(\gamma\)’s at each number of phenotypes. Additionally, we calculate the mean, the variance, and the \(S\) quantity at each number of phentoypes.
gamma_df %>% filter(npheno %in% seq(1,100, by = 5)) %>% ggplot() + geom_jitter(aes(x = npheno, y = gamma), alpha = 0.05, height = 0, width = 0.5) + facet_wrap(~heritability)
gamma_df %>% filter(npheno %in% seq(1,100, by = 5)) %>% ggplot() +
geom_violin(aes(x = npheno, y = gamma, group = npheno), scale = 'width') +
geom_boxplot(aes(x = npheno, y = gamma, group = npheno)) +
facet_wrap(~heritability)
get_sval = function(gamma) {
mean(gamma ^ 2 + (1 - gamma) ^ 2)
}
gamma_df %>% group_by(npheno, heritability) %>%
summarise(mean_gamma = mean(gamma), var_gamma = var(gamma), sval = get_sval(gamma)) %>%
ungroup() %>% mutate(power_against_avg = mean_gamma / sqrt(sval) * sqrt(2), power_against_optimal = mean_gamma / sqrt(sval)) %>%
ggplot() + geom_path(aes(x = npheno, y = mean_gamma, color = 'mean_gamma')) +
geom_path(aes(x = npheno, y = var_gamma, color = 'var_gamma')) +
geom_path(aes(x = npheno, y = sval, color = 'sval')) +
geom_path(aes(x = npheno, y = power_against_avg, color = 'power_against_avg')) +
geom_path(aes(x = npheno, y = power_against_optimal, color = 'power_against_optimal')) +
facet_wrap(~heritability)
One not so important but good to know observation is that sval
is very close to mean_gamma
. The difference between \(S\) and \(\gamma^\star\) is \(\delta = 2 (\gamma - 0.5) (\gamma - 1)\) which is a quadratic function (here I use \(\star\) to denote that the \(\gamma\) is the probability of correct but not the imputation output). If we plot this function, we will see that it is close to zero when \(\gamma^\star \in [0.5, 1]\).
diff_sval_mean_gamma = function(g) {
2 * (g - 0.5) * (g - 1)
}
plot(seq(0, 1, by = 0.01),diff_sval_mean_gamma(seq(0, 1, by = 0.01)))
This means that if the imputation is not so off, in the sense that \(\gamma^\star \in [0.5, 1]\), \(\bar{S}\) should be close to \(\bar{\gamma^\star}\).

Ruth sat for some moments in silence after she had read in the paper the short account of the missing girls. She had come to a pause in arranging her luxuriant hair for the night and, with it only half combed, leaned back in the small chair the stateroom afforded. Alice was reclining on her berth.
“Does it worry you, Ruth?” the younger girl finally asked.
“A little, yes.” Ruth was unusually quiet, and there was a far-away look in her deep blue eyes.
“Oh, don’t take it so seriously,” rallied Alice, in her vivacious way, though at first she, too, had been affected by what she read.
“But it is serious.”
“Oh, it may be only one of those ‘newspaper yarns,’ as Russ calls them.”
“Alice, your language, of late - ”
“There, sister mine! Please don’t scold - or lecture. I’m too sleepy,” and she finished with a yawn that showed all her white, even teeth.
“I’m not scolding, my dear, but you know I must look after you in a way, and - ”
“Look after yourself, my dear. With your hair down that way, and that sweet and innocent look on your face, and in your eyes - you are much more in need of looking after than I. Someone is sure to fall in love with you, and then - ”
“Alice, if you - ”
“Don’t throw that hair brush at me!” and the younger girl covered herself with a quilt, in simulated fear. “I - I didn’t mean it. I’ll be good!” and she shook with laughter.
Ruth could not but smile, though the serious look did not leave her face. She was very like her father. The least little matter out of the ordinary affected him, and usually on the sad, instead of on the “glad” side. He, like Ruth, was of a romantic type, inclined to anticipate too much. Alice was more matter of fact, not to say frivolous, though she could be very sensible at times.
“Well, I suppose we must go to bed,” sighed Ruth at length. “But I’m afraid I sha’n’t sleep.”
“On account of thinking of those girls?”
“Yes, just imagine them out all alone in some dismal swamp, perhaps, without a light, hungry - afraid of every sound - ”
“Please stop! You’re getting on my nerves.”
“I didn’t mean to, my dear,” was the gentle answer.
“I know you didn’t, and it was mean of me to talk that way,” and a plump, bare arm stole around the other’s neck, while a hand was run through the golden hair. “But, don’t let’s think so much about them. Perhaps they are not those two girls we met, after all.”
“Oh, I don’t believe they can be,” Ruth agreed. “That would be too much of a coincidence. But they are two girls - ”
“Not necessarily. Maybe it’s only an unfounded rumor. Russ says newspaper men often ‘plant’ a story like this off in some obscure place, and then use it as the basis for one of those lurid stories in the Sunday supplements.
“I shouldn’t wonder a bit but what this was one of those cases. So, sister mine, go to sleep in peace, and in the morning you’ll have forgotten all about it. Only don’t let’s tell any one, for some of the company, like Mr. Sneed, might make trouble for Mr. Pertell, saying alligators were there.”
“Well, there are.”
“Perhaps. But who cares? I’d like to get one ordinary-sized ‘gator.”
“Why, Alice! What for?”
“I’ve always wanted an alligator bag, and I never could afford it. Now’s my chance. But we may never get far enough into the interior for that. By the way, where did it say those girls started from? I didn’t half read it.”
“From Sycamore, near Lake Kissimmee.”
“Well, Mr. Pertell did mention that we might get to the lake, but he didn’t specify Sycamore.”
“No, and now I’m going to try and do as you said, and forget all about it,” and Ruth laid aside the paper and resumed putting up her hair for the night.
“I wonder what will happen to-morrow?” mused Alice, as she slipped into her robe, and thrust her feet into bath slippers.
“What do you mean?” Ruth’s voice was rather muffled, for her hair was over her face now.
“I mean Mr. Towne fell in to-day, and - ”
“Gracious, I hope you don’t infer that it’s someone else’s turn to-morrow!”
“Hardly!” laughed Alice. “Hand me that cold cream, please, the salt air has chapped my face. Oh, say, did you notice how much color Laura had on to-day? If ever there was a ‘hand-made’ complexion hers was!”
“You shouldn’t say such things!”
“Why not? When they’re true! And such eyes as she made at poor Mr. Towne!”
Ruth slipped a rosy palm over her sister’s lips, but Alice pulled it away, and laughingly added:
“She found that her glances failed to reach Paul, and so she’s trying her ‘wireless’ on - ”
“Alice, you must stop. Someone may hear you!”
“Can’t! Daddy has the stateroom on one side, and Mr. Pertell the other, and they’re both sound sleepers. But I’ve finished anyhow.
Ruth sighed, and then sat again staring off into space. It must have been some little time, too, for when she turned to look at her sister, Alice was breathing deeply in sleep.
“Dear Alice!” murmured Ruth, and she bent over her for a moment, and kissed her lightly on the cheek - as gently as the fall of a rose petal. Soon the older sister, too, was asleep.
In order that there might be no trouble among the members of the moving picture company over the statement made in the newspaper that perhaps the two girls had fallen victims to alligators, Ruth, next morning, carefully cut out the item, and put it away among her things.
“It may be silly,” she said to Alice, “but - ”
“It is silly to imagine anything like that,” was the quick retort.
“But it’s best to be on the safe side,” finished Ruth, gently. “Mr. Sneed is so peculiar.”
“I agree with you there, sister mine. Well, you’ve taken the precautions, anyhow. My, I’m hungry! I hope breakfast is ready.”
“You are not troubled with mal-de-mer, then?”
“Not a bit of it, and I never was out on the ocean before. It isn’t a bit rough; is it?”
“Well, we did roll some during the night, but then the sea is calm. Wait until we get a storm.”
“I do hope one comes!”
“Alice DeVere!”
“Well, I mean just a little one, with waves like little hills, instead mountains.”
The only members of the film company who did not present themselves at the breakfast table were Miss Pennington and Miss Dixon.
They breakfasted in their staterooms, but it was noticed that the trays came out about as well filled as they went in, from which it might be gathered that they were not altogether free from the toll the sea exacts from most travelers.
“My, how charming you look!” observed Paul to Alice as he joined her on deck, and arranged her steamer chair out of the wind. She had on a new jacket, and a little toque, the brown fur of which matched her eyes, and brought out, in contrast, the damask of her cheeks.
“Thank you,” she laughed in retort. “I might say the same of you. That’s a good-looking coat.”
“A little different from the usual, yes. The man said it was imported - ”
“Just as if that made it any better.”
“It doesn’t - only different. Where did you get that rug? It’s an odd pattern.”
“My! But the compliments are flying this morning. It’s one daddy picked up somewhere. Isn’t the weather glorious?”
“Now we’re on a safe topic,” laughed Paul. “Here come Russ and Ruth. My, but she’s stunning!”
“I’m glad you appreciate her,” Alice said. Really, Ruth made a picture, for she had on a long white cloak, and with a turban trimmed with ermine, and her fair hair and blue eyes, she looked like some Siberian princess, if they have princesses there, and I suppose they must.
The four young people chatted and laughed together, while the Tarsus plowed on her way. It was a day of idleness, save that Russ took a few pictures of scenes on shipboard for future use.
In the afternoon, while Ruth and Alice were reclining luxuriously in their steamer chairs, they observed one of the officers come up from below, and run toward the bridge. There was something in his manner that startled Alice, and she sat up suddenly, exclaiming:
“I hope nothing has happened!”
“Happened? Why should it? What do you mean?” asked Ruth. But immediately a look of fear came into her own eyes - a look born of suggestion merely.
“Oh, I don’t know,” and Alice tried to laugh, but it did not ring true. “It was just a notion - ”
She did not finish, for another officer came on the run from forward, and he, too, sought the bridge. Then the two girls saw curling up from one of the hatchways on the lower forward deck, a little wisp of smoke, and immediately afterward there sounded through the ship the clanging of bells.
“What’s that?” cried Ruth, casting aside her rug, and struggling to her feet, no easy matter from a steamer chair. “What’s that?”
“Some alarm,” said Alice, faintly.
Paul came running toward them.
“Oh, what is it?” gasped Ruth, impulsively clasping him by the arm.
“Don’t be frightened,” said Paul, but Alice noticed that his lips trembled a little. “It’s only a - fire drill.”
As he spoke there was an outpouring of sailors from many places, and lines of hose were reeled out.
The wisp of smoke from the forward hatchway had increased now, though the hatch cover was on.
Up on the bridge the girls could see the captain leaving his post in charge of one of the officers. The ship, too, seemed to be turning about.
“Are you sure it is only fire - drill?” asked Alice.

“Look,” said Alice, and she pointed to the curling smoke.
More clanging bells resounded, and more lines of hose were run out. There was no doubt, now, that the Tarsus was making a complete turn.
Then, as the captain and one officer left the bridge there rang out the cry:
“Fire! Fire! The ship’s on fire! Lower the boats!”

Since the start of my work in tech, I’ve been fascinated with both the technological and the business aspects of it. A big open problem in the latter for me has been about the open source businesses. I love the concept. The sense of community and working together with a world-wide team on a common goal, sharing knowledge, writing great code and sharing it freely, it all sounds amazing. And I low-key think a lot about working on a major open source project in the future.
What I didn’t get is how it works as a business. Sure, Google and Facebook can open source Chromium, Golang, React, etc. because they have different cash cows and are not trying to extract revenue from these projects. But how could startups dwell in this and even base their major offerings on open source? Why would these cash & resource strapped entities give away most of their work for free? It seemed to defy logic and go against the invisible hands of Adam Smith and nobody goes against Adam Smith for a long time. Anyway, while listening to this podcast episode from a16z, things started to make sense to me. Here, I will try to capture my perspective in a fancy Socratic fashion for your pleasure.
Me: Why would anyone pay for your stuff if most of your features are open source? Why wouldn’t the customer just fork it and use it?
Ans: Suppose, I release 90% of the features and keep 10% proprietary. Who has the advantage in building that 10% without creating an absolute mess? People who wrote the 90% of the project and have been with the project all along or some random engs this company re-orged or threw into this. Remember, to write that 10% you need to READ A LOT of code (i.e. most of the 90%). You know how hard reading other people’s code is? Why bother with that when you can buy the the whole service from us (including the proprietary 10%) instead of dealing with a nightmare internal project.
Furthermore, think of running and supporting all that code written by someone else 🤣 good luck with that!
Me: Okay that’s reasonable. But still I can’t help but wonder… Why release the 90% to begin with? Why lose all the money you could’ve got from the customers who are happy with just the 90%? Why not just keep everything closed source to eliminate possibility of competitors getting fruit of your labor for free and to also take the money from freeloaders. What are you achieving by being open source? Are you trying to be cute? (Or are you secretly a communist? :P)
Ans: Hadoop, Spark, Kubernetes, Linux wouldn’t have reached the massive scale of today unless a lot of people could engage with them freely and use them in smaller projects without having to buy. Basically, in the words of Ali Ghodsi Open Source is the best lead gen machine there is. Once an engineering org starts using your work for tiny projects and likes it, it’s a small step from there to its use at a more massive scale, where they would likely need all the enterprise features and the support offered by your premium version of the product 💸 On the other hand, if your project was fully closed-source, chances are it would’ve died in obscurity to begin with.
Me: I see. So basically Open Source follows a freemium business model. But still… I fear the competition you’re signing up for by open sourcing so much code. Once your project has momentum, what stops a dedicated company in a close vertical to jump in and offer a similar product on top of the project you labored for so hard?
Ans: This is subtle and actually happens often. But… any good market will inevitably draw competition. That being said, a lot of the time the original team has a lot of advantages over the new entrants. Beside the first mover advantage, you may also have the founding team and core contributors in the project in your team. This is a massive advantage. They are the ones that control what gets merged in the main OSS repo, i.e. they approve pull requests and overall product roadmap. They have the best insight into the existing codebase and can see difficulties and weed out hopeless or dumb features far in advance. The competitor can do what it wants with its fork but if the community is engaged and obsessed with your version of the project, they would have a hard time keeping up.
Another advantage of having the founders of the OSS in your company is in sales. Think of the customer. Would they prefer to go with the company which boasts the services of the original founders of the project who have been at it for years or some new entrant who’s trying to hustle its way only after it started to smell the money? For most people, the answer is the former!


A little under a week ago, I made a rather thoughtless decision to mix diphenhydramine and diphenhydrinate. I have done both drugs seperately, and I enjoyed the trips throroughly. Both can be very interesting and quite intense if taken in appropriate doses. I've tried almost all of the other hallucinogens, I'd consider myself experienced. And I remember when a friend first told me about diphenhydramine. I laughed, and thought, 'What kind of person would take over-the-counter sleeping pills to trip?' Well, as I have a curious mind, I was always open to new experiences. After experiencing with lower and medium doses, I thought I was ready to try taking a large dose of both diphenhydramine and diphenhydrinate. I stopped at the local drug store, and picked up a box which contained 24 Hy-Vee Nighttime Sleep-Aid pills which contained 25 mg's of diphenhydramine per pill, and also a box which contained 8 pills of Dramamine Original containing 50 mg's of diphenhydrinate per pill.
That night, I felt I was in generally a pretty sane mind state before ingesting. At around 11 p.m., I took the 32 pills, and sat anxiously awaiting for the trip to come on. It came on pretty quickly, which was a variance from the other times I have done the the two seperately, when it'd usually take half an hour to an hour before I'd feel any feelings. About 15-20 minutes after I ingested the pills, I began feeling the heavy effect, which I was accustomed to. The first hallucination that I noticed was one that I have come across the other times I've done diphenhydramine/diphenhydrinate, it looked like there were bugs crawling under my arms. I never scratched them, just stared in amazement. I was enjoying the feelings. The walls were breathing, and the ceiling looked like it was slowly falling.
Throughout this period, I was able to distinguish that I was on a drug, and that although it looked realistic, it wasn't real and was just a hallucination. Time seemed to be moving pretty fast, it had been an hour since I took the pills. I remember my uncle was in the basement watching the television, which I had forgot about 3 times, as I moved to sit in his chair to find him sitting there, startling me.  I was listening to 'Meddle' by Pink Floyd, and enjoying it quite throroughly. Music can just be amazing when on the two drugs.
After nearly an hour and a half, I noticed that it was getting hard to breathe, and I came to the conclusion that I had taken too much. I had contemplated just puking, because it was becoming rather intense. I must have suffered amnesia, because I completely forgot about it nearly 3 seconds after saying it.  He was attempting to talk to me, and I remember my voice was slurred to the point of sounding like an aboslute drunkard. I avoided conversation by saying 'Hm...' many times. After he left, I turned off all the lights, because from my experience, I had more full-blown hallucinations in the dark.
I lit up a cigarette, and then it fell out of the ashtray, and I looked on the floor to find absolutely nothing there. I was smoking an imaginary cigarette. I didn't seem to find that illogical at all, and continued to sit. At this point, the auditory hallucinations became overwhelming, as I heard my name being called on numerous occasions, and replied. I looked into the laundry room, and at this point, the water softener began speaking to me. I was carrying on a conversation with it like that was completely normal.
It was around this point that I forgot I was on drugs, and thus, all contact with reality of any form. I noticed that I was forgetting to breathe, but my heart was beating to no end. I was beginning to become terrified, as I was seeing hands reaching out of the walls, trying to grab me. With most other hallucinogens (with several exclusions), I was able to tell that it was an illusion, but with diphenhydramine and diphenhydrinate, everything appeared to be so real. I was seeing people walk into my basement, then walk right into a wall and disappear. I was scared. I remember at one point seeing a group of my friends just staring at me.  And they'd just disappear. I remember seeing my cleaning lady and another woman asking me what I was doing, to which I replied, 'Just chillin' like a villain.'
However, I was not prepared at all for what happened next. In a complete drug-haze, I looked down at my arms. I was expecting to see the similar bugs crawling under my skin. But, what I saw is something that absolutely made me jump out of my chair. On my arm was a humungous poisonous Amazon spider. It bit my arm, which I felt. Blood started to profusely flow out of my arm. I began shaking my arms uncontrollably. After shaking them for a minute or two, I looked again, and I saw what was either a baby spider or a tick crawling on my arm.   I was absolutely terrified. I remember screaming in pain. I looked down at my arm, and saw that not only had the spider bit me once, but numerous times, as I saw bite marks going up and down my arm.
Around this time, it was near 2 a.m. (a guestimate, as I lost all track of time) It was at this point that I have no recollection of what happened after that. Which was probably a good thing, as I can only imagine it progressed into worse things. I have absolutely no recollection of how I wound up in my bed, or what I may have done.
I woke up the next day at around 10:30 a.m., still feeling mild effects from the drugs. I remember the first thing I did was look at my arms to look at the spider bites, only to find nothing there at all. I remember talking to a few friends that said I was talking to them the night before at around 2:30. I looked at a log manager on AIM, and read some of the conversation. I was writing in all caps, and not making any sense whatsoever. Some things I found myself saying...
I would never recommend trying to take as much as I did. I overdosed. I am not aware of the lethal dose, but I can't imagine this was a healthy dose. The trip was not enjoyable, as I found myself terrified throughout most of it. Up to 4 days afterwords, I was experiencing hallucinations at night-time, and I found myself unable to sleep. The 4th night afterwords, I was laying in bed, still hearing auditory hallucinations. I was hearing children screaming, and it was echoing off the crest of a tsunami wave. I then opened my eyes, and there was a face sticking out of my wall.
I regret taking the amount I did, as I wasn't even sure if I'd ever be able to return to sanity. My pupils were dilated to the max for almost 5 days after taking it. For now I'm just going to stick to the illegal hallucinogens.

ob_end_flush (PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7) ob_end_flush — 冲刷出（送出）输出缓冲区内容并关闭缓冲 说明 bool ob_end_flush ( void ) 这个函数将送出最顶层缓冲区的内容（如果里边有内容的话），并关闭缓冲区。如果想进 一步处理缓冲区中的内容，必须在ob_end_flush()之前调用 ob_get_contents()，因为在 调用ob_end_flush()后缓冲区内容被丢弃。 Note: 这个函数与ob_get_flush()相似，不同的是ob_get_flush()会把缓冲区中的内 容作为字符串返回。 返回值 成功时返回 TRUE，或者在失败时返回 FALSE。错误的原因首先是，在调用时没有一个起作 用的缓冲区，或者是因为某些原因缓冲区不能被删除（可能对特殊缓冲区而言）。 错误／异常 如果函数失败了，将引发一个E_NOTICE异常。 更新日志 版本 说明 4.2.0 添加了布尔返回值。 范例 Example #1 ob_end_flush() example 下面的例子给出了一种送出缓冲区内容并关闭所有输出缓冲区的容易的方法： 参见 • ob_start() - 打开输出控制缓冲 • ob_get_contents() - 返回输出缓冲区的内容 • ob_get_flush() - 刷出（送出）缓冲区内容，以字符串形式返回内容，并关闭输出缓 冲区。 • ob_flush() - 冲刷出（送出）输出缓冲区中的内容 • ob_end_clean() - 清空（擦除）缓冲区并关闭输出缓冲 User Contributed Notes 9 notes =============================================================================== A note on the above example... with PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5 you can use a combination of ob_get_level() and ob_end_flush() to avoid using the @ (error suppresion) which should probably be a little faaster. 0) { ob_end_flush(); } ?> =============================================================================== best way to compress a css code: Include in
: =============================================================================== If you enable zlib.output_compression then level count will be increased by 1 and then this code: will just freeze your script. =============================================================================== Wanted to speed things up and put some processing after the page has been delivered to the client. That drove me almost insane, but finally, I found a solution (php 5.2.5): =============================================================================== It appears that ob_end_flush() is very important if you are looping. For instance if you are using a mass mailer that uses the output buffer for creating HTML content. Use ob_end_flush() to avoid server errors. =============================================================================== Apart from being mostly redundant, ob_end_flush() can be downright damaging in some weird cases. Actual example: a particular page on an Intranet website which would appear blank on Internet Explorer 6 when ob_start('ob_gzhandler') was called in the beginning and ob_end_flush() at the end. We couldn't figure out what made that page special no matter what we tried. The ob_ functions were placed in scripts which were include()'d by all pages just the same, but only that page did this. Even stranger, the problem only appeared on direct browser/server connections. Whenever the connection passed through a proxy the problem dissapeared. I'm guessing some kind of HTTP encoding headers mumbo-jumbo. Solution: unless you really need it in particular cases, remove the ob_end_flush() call and rely on the builtin, automatic buffer flush. =============================================================================== It appears that you can call ob_end_flush() regardless of whether or not output buffering was ever started using ob_start(). This can prove useful because it saves you from having to create conditional statements based on whether a particular function or include file has started output buffering. You can simply call the ob_end_flush() anyway and if there's output in the buffer, it will be sent, otherwise your script will just keep on keepin' on. =============================================================================== Remember that chromium browser (and maybe other webkit-based browsers) have some issues with ob_end_flush. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31410 You may use header("Content-Type: text/plain"); to solve those issues if you do not need html. =============================================================================== ob_end_flush() isn't needed in MOST cases because it is called automatically at the end of script execution by PHP itself when output buffering is turned on either in the php.ini or by calling ob_start().

This redesign was created as part of my application to the KPCB Design Fellows.
Goal: Redesign a feature of DoorDash to improve intuitiveness and user experience.
Taking on this project, I was very excited to get to know DoorDash better. Food delivery is a huge guilty pleasure of mine, and I love seeing the surge in competitors and trying out the different services. Though I've had experiences with UberEats, Favor, and Postmates, I was excited to try out DoorDash for this assignment. This allows me to have a fair comparison with other services, while maintaining a fresh view of DoorDash.
I will be focusing on redesigning and improving
user experience throughout the
web application. As DoorDash is already an extremely well-designed service with engineers, designers, product managers, etc. working full time to create and improve the product, I opted against creation of new features or drastic changes in the design or product. I wanted to focus, instead, on improving existing features, from a fresh perspective, while undergoing the user research process.

EXPERT TIPS
Use an ice-cream scoop to make perfectly shaped cookies. Level off the dough on the edge of the bowl for perfectly round cookies.
If you didn't think these cookies could get any better, think again! Get creative use with 1/2 cup each of semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips instead of the 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips. OMG these are good!
