Newstart so low there’s no point setting a budget, senators told
by Rebecca GredleyPeople on Newstart are on such little money they see no point in having a budget, senators have been told.
A Senate inquiry into the adequacy of Newstart – about $278 per week – has kicked off in Melbourne with various women’s advocacy groups.
“Our financial counsellors are severely stretched,” Stella Avramopoulos, chief executive of Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand, told the hearing on Wednesday.
“Many tell us there’s actually no point in helping a client on Newstart to do a budget because there’s not enough money whichever way they cut it.”
Good Shepherd sees two main types of women in financial distress – single parents and older women.
“The woefully inadequate level of Newstart is failing these women more than any others in the community,” Ms Avramopoulos said.
“Sadly, often a job is not the best form of welfare and Newstart is no longer a transitional payment for many people.”
There has been an increase in women using “predatory” payday loans from 177,000 in 2016 to 287,000 this year.
Of those, more than 40 per cent are single parents, Ms Avramopoulos said.
The Morrison government has resisted growing calls to increase the $40-a-day welfare payment.
Tasmania’s Liberal premier Will Hodgman and NSW’s deputy premier John Barilaro from the National Party are the latest conservative politicians to call on the federal government to increase the payment.

I am a member of SCONE Lab. I study about Social Network and recommender system. Brief explanation of these projects are given below.
Social network analysis (SNA) is a strategy for investigating social structures through the use of network and graph theories. I analyze various aspects of social structures to extract useful information. Specially, I am focusing on analyzing network information diffusion and cascades, mechanism design for network influence maximization.
Recommender Systems (RSs) are software tools and techniques providing suggestions for items to be of use to a user. Traditional recommender systems always ignore social relationships among users. We tend to ask our friends for recommendations in our daily life, such as digital product buying or touching movies seeing. Therefore, in order to improve recommender systems and to provide more personalized recommendation results, we need to incorporate social network information among users.


Mullah Mohammed Omar foundation, Taliban is not just a group of Talib (students) educated in
traditional Islamic Schools that represents a section of Afghanistan provinces that took over Kabul
in 1996 just after two years of its formation and dislodged in 2001 by U.S. It is more diversified
with the involvement of different Islamic ethnic groups, more radical religiously, more handy number
wise, more powerful logistically and of course the more confident after what has been the recent
progressions.
From the Bush regime to the Biden administration Taliban has only gained, if not power but the
resilience, that is now gaining momentum. Yes it lost its men, but it wasn’t the Taliban alone that
had faced this kind of loss. Who would have thought that a radical Islamic terrorist group that
started with just 50 talibs will withstand counterinsurgency operations from the world’s most
powerful security alliance the NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and 3 U.S
administrations in a war that will take the lives of 6,000 U.S troops and 1,100 NATO personnel.
Along with that 46,000 civilians and 73,000 Afghan troops and police officers have lost their lives
since 2007.
AMERICAN INVASION
Taliban held power in Afghanistan in 1996 and established sharia based Islamic rule until uprooted in
December 2001.
It was George Bush, the then president of the United States, who invaded Afghanistan with American
forces that led NATO with them. It was October 2001 when Bush said, “And now the Taliban will pay a
price. By destroying camps and disrupting communications, we will make it more difficult for the
terror network to train new recruits and coordinate their evil plans.”
This was a consequence of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks when the Taliban regime refused to
hand over Osama bin laden, the mastermind and other Al-qaeda leaders to the United States. Bush
declared war on Afghanistan and established a transitional government and hence Karzai became the
president in 2001. Later a centralized democratic setup was also established with a constant push by
the west.
AMERICAN PULL-OUT
Only time will tell whether the American pullout from Afghanistan is somewhat closer to the Suez
canal crisis of 1956 from where the colour of the globe changed massively, imperial pink to a new
dawn. When the empire ended and the supremacy died until then it’s a war that ended with the U.S
being on the losing side.
It was not the Trump administration who initiated this pull back, it was Barack Obama first who
tried to indulge in talks with the Taliban and Afghan government in 2015 to bring back U.S troops
home. Meeting was hosted by another vital but cunning stakeholder Pakistan in Murree. Talks remain
inconclusive. Then comes the Trump administration that held talks with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar,
that led to the historic February 2020 agreement where from the United States the promise was made
to withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021 whereas the Taliban promised to reduce
violence, involve in intra-Afghan peace talks, cut all ties with foreign terrorist outfits. After
the agreement was made American administration put pressure on Afghanistan to release Taliban
prisoners.
When Joe Biden became the U.S president he endorsed Trump’s agreement but extended the date of
withdrawal from may 1, 2021 to September 11 same year.
Now the U.S troops are withdrawing but the Taliban-Afghanistan peace talk has been freezed since it
began in September 2020. The Taliban is still killing journalists, activists and civilians. It’s
terror connectivity beyond borders isn’t hidden anymore.
Conclusively, the only thing that can be said about this withdrawal is that the conditions has
worsened so much for the United States that it even doesn’t bother to put forth its conditions of
agreement impact fully, they realized that it is a war they couldn’t win but sadly it took 20 years
for the super power to accept the reality. It’s a permanent stain that will always hurt the United
States, at least Biden’s statement is indicating the same when he says, “I want to talk about happy
things. I’m not going to answer any more questions on Afghanistan.” Clearly, repercussions for
America from Afghan front are miserable.
TALIBAN 2.O IN MAKING
With almost 85,000 recruits and modernized weapons the Taliban are stronger than at any time and are
capable of spreading violence everywhere in the country.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the American intelligence community predicted that Kabul could
fall within six months of U.S withdrawal. This could be proven by the facts that despite being half
of the Afghanistan forces, the Taliban has expanded rapidly and the work is going on. And in case
Kandahar took over Kabul, it will be the second time since the uprising of the Taliban that this
terror outfit will have the supremacy over Afghan territory. It’s quite easy for anyone to say that
there is no way that Afghan government and the Taliban will have a peace agreement, either there
will be a long term civil war or the Taliban will have an edge. Atleast, the current scenario has
inclined the balance of power in the Taliban’s favor. The Taliban is capturing key areas, be it many
vital districts, border areas with Pakistan, Iran, Uzbekistan. In a recent progression, Afghanistan
troops and a few Civilians have to flee to Tajikistan as the Taliban is imposing harsh sharia laws
in the areas under their control.
IMPACT ON PAKISTAN AND CHINA
Pakistan from the very emergence of the Taliban has been a key member of this whole scenario. Be it
diplomatic recognition or under the table support, Pakistan has always backed the Taliban.
Initially, it was official when Pakistan became the only third country after Saudi Arabia and
Turkmenistan to give the Taliban government a recognition but then after things changed under
pressure but the motto remains the same. Pakistan raised money, provided shelter, trained terrorists
and set the stage for what we are witnessing today. It’s good for Pakistan in one sense that it will
check the effective presence of India in Kabul but on the other hand the international isolation
will not serve the purpose.
China for a minute may see an opportunity there, but it knows that an Islamic government in Kabul
will empower the separatists that are brutally suppressed in Xinjiang province.
IN INDIA’S CONTEXT
If you’ll ask any rational Indian, the last thing one would like to hear is that the Taliban has
taken over Kabul. There are a lot of things at stake for India.
Security is the biggest issue, India is already serving its traditional enemies at the Northern and
western front. One with an expansionist ideology and another with a terror mindset has already
harmed drastically. And if they get accompanied by the Taliban like outfit, who will not ban the
ISIS like establishment to flourish on their soil, it will be a major challenge for India provided
the infatuation of some religiously radical minds here to join those outfits.
India’s investment in Afghanistan is nearly $3 billion, more than 400 projects in all the 34
districts are going on. It includes dams, schools, and hospitals. A few are already captured.
Political instability, specifically in Jammu and Kashmir may become quite obvious as the separatist
leaders will definitely get backed up by those powers trying to disintegrate India and are in closer
vicinity to this Indian territory.
Diplomatic relations will definitely take a big dip because for India it will be a big decision to
recognize such a government. In recent progressions, India has already shut its two out of four
consultes temporarily in Jalalabad and Herat provinces whereas Kandahar consulate is in operation
only with the local staff after India evacuated its officials. The only Kabul Embassy is
operational. This shows that not only the Indian civilians living there in Afghanistan but the
officials as well are under serious threat.
WHAT NEXT?
Now it’s not a question about ‘if’ but ‘when’. If everything goes the way it’s going, very soon a
radical Islamic terrorist group will be there to decide the fate of a country, will ensure resource
management and of course will have a geopolitical role to play. The world must be ready for it.

The Home page welcomes you to your organization and offers you several options for different actions you can take. You can also use the menu on the left-hand side of the screen to view the different apps that are currently installed for your organization. This organization currently has the Token Manager, Voting, Finance, and Agent apps installed, plus default Permissions, App Center, and Organization "System" apps.
Use the Tokens app to mint new tokens and assign them to yourself or other entities. Tokens minted by the Tokens app confer voting abilities to holders of the tokens such that one token equals one vote. Tokens in a Membership organization are non-transferable, and each tokenholder can only hold a maximum of one token minted by the organization at a time (so one member = one vote).
There are many reasons an organization might mint tokens for entities. Here are a few examples:
You can mint new tokens by following these steps:
Enter the address of the recipient of the tokens and the number of new tokens you want to mint and assign to that address, then click “Add Tokens”.
Even though you are the only tokenholder at this point, the Membership organization still requires a tokenholder vote for every action. Click “Create transaction” to create the transaction that creates a new vote to assign the new token you want to mint. Sign the transaction in your Ethereum provider, wait for a confirmation, then move on to the next step.
Go to the Voting app, click on the "Mint tokens" proposal you just created, and vote "Yes" to approve minting and assigning the token.
Your organization just went from one to two members. A good start to a new Membership organization!
Note: If a vote is cast that causes the Minimum Approval % to be equal to or greater than the Support required (e.g. 60% Support with 60% Minimum Approval) then the vote will execute automatically. If the Minimum Approval % is less than the Support required (e.g. 60% Support with 40% Minimum Approval) then additional "no" votes could still stop the vote from being passed, so the vote will remain open until either the duration is reached or the Minimum Approval % is equal to or greater than the Support requirement. After the vote ends, the result must be enacted manually by one of the tokenholders in the organization.
The Voting app makes it easy for you to poll your fellow tokenholders about their position on an infinite range of topics. Votes initiated by other Aragon apps also show up in the Voting app. For example, assigning tokens using the Token Manager or moving funds from the Finance app are each actions that require a vote by tokenholders in a Membership organization. Follow these steps to create a new vote and poll your organization about a topic you care about:
Fill out the question you want to poll your organization about and click “Create new vote”.
Click the “Create transaction” button, then open your Ethereum provider to sign and send the transaction.
Vote on the proposal you just created. Then rally your fellow tokenholders outside the app - for example, by email, forum, chat room, or good old fashioned face-to-face - and ask them to review and vote on the proposal too. Tokenholders can visit the Voting app to see the list of open votes and cast their ballot accordingly.
In this case, the other tokenholder in the organization supports the proposal and votes "Yes".
Since there are only two tokenholders in this organization, and the Support parameter is set to 50%, the unanimous vote on the proposal has resulted in the proposal being passed.
The Organization app is where you can find organization-specific information and settings, such as the internal addresses for your organization. When using a testnet you also have the ability to request test tokens, which will be sent to the organization’s Vault app.
The Finance app is the app that provides tokenholders with access to the funds held by their organization. The Finance app shows the current balance in ETH and tokens as well as the transaction history of the organization. You can also use the Finance app to initiate a new transfer of funds.
Follow these steps to create a new transfer from the Finance app:
On mainnet
Go to the Finance app and click the “New Transfer” button. On the “Deposit” tab, enter the token you want to deposit, the amount, and an optional reference note. Click “Submit deposit” to complete the transfer. About a minute or so after your transaction is confirmed, the funds will appear in the Finance app of your organization. You can then create a new transfer to withdraw these funds to another address.
On testnet
Go to the Organizations app and press the “Request test tokens” button. Open your Ethereum provider to sign and send the transaction. About a minute or so after your transaction is confirmed, test tokens will be available in the Finance app of your organization. You can then create a new transfer to send these tokens to another address. Tokens can also be sent to your testnet organization using the "Deposit" method mentioned in the "On mainnet" section above.
Go to the "Withdrawal" tab then enter the address of the recipient and the amount of tokens to send them, along with an optional reference note about what the transfer is for. Then click “Submit withdrawal”.
As mentioned before, all actions in the Membership organization require a vote by tokenholders. Click “Create transaction” then open your Ethereum provider to sign and send the transaction that creates the New Transfer vote.
The transfer has to be approved by tokenholders. Cast a "Yes" vote to approve the transfer and have the other tokenholders in the organization vote as well.
After confirmation, the transfer will execute.
Go back to the Finance app to see a record of the transfer and a link to the transaction record on the blockchain.

We are accepting proposals for our 2015 conference, which is happening May 17-19, 2015 in Portland, Oregon.
The deadline for submitting your proposal is Midnight PST on February 28.
Write the Docs is an event for anyone who cares about documentation and wants to gather and learn from like-minded people, no matter their personal or professional background. Whether you're a tech writer, programmer, designer, support technician, or something else entirely, come and share your tips, tricks, experiences, ideas, frustrations, hopes, and anything else that your passion for documentation inspires you to bring to the table.
Come be a part of this fantastic multi-disciplinary gathering of documentation artisans.
Although the general focus of Write the Docs is on documentation, there's a strong emphasis on the software industry. Within that thematic scope, we love having wide-ranging content that will stretch people in new directions.
We encourage all levels to submit a talk. We welcome first time speakers as well as experienced. Talking about how things affect beginners or from a beginner point of view is just as important as a deep dive into a specific topic.
Some of our favorite talks are ones that make people see the world in a new way. Teaching entirely new ideas to others can be magical, and we are always delighted with the breadth of knowledge that our community brings together.
We love talks that deliver hard-earned knowledge based on real-world experience and research. Whether it's a story about spreading the documentarian gospel in your company, or tips and tricks for writing, come share it with people who are eager to know.
We believe that tech writing and documentation don't always get the respect and consideration they deserve. Come share the problems with documentation your company overcame, or how you ensure documentation is an organizational priority.
Below are some talks from past events that we feel really captured the spirit of Write the Docs:
Presentations will be 30 minutes long. If you have specific length needs for your presentation, let us know and we can work with it.
If you are selected to speak at Write the Docs, we will waive your attendance fee. We regret that we are not able to cover the cost of travel or lodging for speakers at this time. By not covering travel costs for our speakers, we are able to keep ticket prices low and to make the conference accessible to the largest number of participants possible. If your proposal is accepted but you are unable to attend due to travel costs, however, please let us know and we will do what we can to help out.
Speaking at Write the Docs is a fantastic way to participate in the conference. Additionally, all those who submit a proposal but are not selected to speak will be able to register at the early bird registration price.
Proposal decisions will be sent by the middle of March.
If you have any questions, please email us at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and let us know.

The Command-line Interface (CLI) provides a cross-platform interface for managing components through the command-line.
Configuration
See the Configuration Reference for details on how the CLI can be configured. The different options are detailed in the CLI Configuration Reference.
Help for Commands
The CLI comes with builtin documentation. This documentation can be printed by adding the -h
or --help
flag to any command.
Command Aliases
Many CLI commands names have aliases, which are different spellings or shorter versions of the same command. For instance, applications
commands can also be written as application
, apps
, app
or even a
. This could save you some typing if you frequently use the CLI.
Tip: For even less typing you could also register an alias for
ttn-lw-cli
itself (alias tt=ttn-lw-cli
).
Input and Output Formats
By default the CLI outputs results as one or more JSON objects. These JSON objects are equivalent to the JSON objects that would be returned when using the HTTP API of The Things Stack. Some commands accept one or more JSON objects as input. These JSON objects are equivalent to the JSON objects that can be sent to the HTTP API. This way of handling input and output is used by the End Device Templates feature.
The --output-format
flag allows you to specify a Go template that is executed for the result(s) of a command. The example below executes lists applications and outputs their IDs and names:
$ ttn-lw-cli applications list --name --output-format "{{ .ApplicationID }}: {{ .Name }}"
Login and Logout
The login
command starts the OAuth authorization flow with the configured OAuth server. By default this makes use of an endpoint on localhost
for the OAuth callback. If you are not running the CLI on the machine that is localhost
, you can add the flag --callback=false
to the login
command. This will disable the callback endpoint, and instead ask you to copy/paste the authorization code that you will receive from the OAuth server.
It is also possible to use an API key instead of OAuth. To do this, add the flag --api-key=NNSXS.AAAA.BBBB
to the login
command (replacing NNSXS.AAAA.BBBB
with your API key).
Logging out of the CLI is done with the logout
command, which will automatically invalidate the OAuth access token that was in use.
Entity Management
In most cases the CLI be used to manage entities, such as applications, end devices or gateways. For each of these entities, the cli has create
, get
, list
, update
and delete
commands.
Creating Entities
When creating an application or gateway, you need to specify a user or organization with the --user-id
or --organization-id
flag. This user or organization will be granted all rights on the new application or gateway.
When creating an end device, you need to specify an application in which the end device should be created.
All other flags correspond to the fields of the entity, as can be seen with the --help
flag and in the API Reference.
Getting or Listing Entities
When getting a single entity or listing entities, you need to provide flags for selecting the fields to fetch from the server. For performance reasons, list commands only allow a subset of fields (the fields stored in the Identity Server).
Updating Entities
When updating an entity, you provide flags for the fields that need to be updated. All other fields of the entitiy are left unchanged.
Deleting Entities
Be careful when using the delete
command, as it won’t ask for confirmation.
Access Control
The CLI can be used to manage access control of entities. Managing collaborators is done with the collaborators
commands (i.e. ttn-lw-cli applications collaborators
) and managing API keys with the api-keys
commands (i.e. ttn-lw-cli applications api-keys
).
Collaborator Rights
Collaborator rights can be set
, list
ed or delete
d. When setting collaborator rights, specify a user or organization with the --user-id
or --organization-id
flag and the flags for the rights that you want to assign. Use the --help
or -h
for more information on the available rights.
API Keys
API keys can be create
d, list
ed, update
d and delete
d. Creating an API key is very similar to setting collaborator rights. Be aware that API keys are only shown once when they are created, and will never be shown again, so make sure to copy them to a safe place.
Uplink Traffic
The CLI can be used to subscribe to uplink traffic. See the Getting Started guide for more details.
Downlink Queue
The CLI can manage the downlink queue of end devices. See the Downlink Queue Operations guide for more details.
Events
The CLI can be used to subscribe to events. See the Events guide for more details.

Quezon bgy chief held for drugs
by Gemi FormaranGUMACA, QUEZON— A barangay captain is now behind bars after policemen found illegal drugs in his possession during a search operation at his residence in Bgy. San Diego Poblacion, here.
Peter Vermont Noscal, 39, barangay captain of said village, did not resist when placed under arrest by the raiding police team, according to Quezon police director, Col. Audie Madrideo.
Madrideo said the search operation was carried out at 3:15 a.m. by elements of Gumaca police station led by its commander, Major Rodelio Calawit on the strength of a search warrant issued by Lucena City Regional Trial Court Judge Dennis Orendain.
During the search, Calawit said they found heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing white crystalline substance believed to be shabu weighing 0.5 gram with DDB value of P925 and two strips of aluminum foil.
Calawit said Barangay Councilors Antonio Arqueza and Delia Aeganda witnessed the operation and the accounting of seized evidence.
Noscal was charged with violations of Sec. 11 and 12 of Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002 after the laboratory results of the seized evidence turned positive.


Silent Fall (1994) * 1/2 A movie review by Serdar Yegulalp Copyright 1998 by Serdar Yegulalp
SILENT FALL has the shreds and shards of a far better movie lurking around inside it somewhere. It takes the form of a psychological thriller, where the detectives work hand-in-glove with psychiatrists to disentangle the mind of a witness to a murder. The witness is an autistic little boy, and there are strong hints that he is probably the killer as well -- after all, they found him swinging the knife while standing over his parent's corpses.
Richard Dreyfuss is the psychiatrist, and it is to his credit that he does the best job he can in a movie of such abysmal silliness. He has one very nice scene where he uses a deck of cards as a metaphor for how to jog the kid's memory. Unfortunately, like so many other ham-handed scripts, the metaphor is hammered on again and again until its initial charm collapses.
I had high hopes going into this movie. For the most part, psychiatrists get short shrift in films: they get portrayed as soulless technicians (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST), or fiendish maniacs (BAD DREAMS), or goofy and ineffectual softies (AMOS & ANDREW). Dreyfuss plays a fellow with smarts and presence, and he does a decent job of soldiering on while the film collapses around him. John Lithgow gets dragged in for a wasteful little cameo as a drug-dispensing doctor, which reminded me of what a good actor he is when he's not in junk like this.
The movie has so few real ideas about its alleged subjects that it's distressing. Take, for instance, the murder investigation. If you were a cop, would you let the children of the murder victims live in their house while it would still be a crime scene? The movie's insights into autism are also pretty much nonexistent. Autism, like the rest of the movie's conceits with psychology, are just cheap hooks onto which to hang the rest of the plot. And if there is another thriller out there with a more contrived mess of a plot than this one -- write me, I've got cigars.
The film's big climax has Dreyfuss getting the kid to re-enact almost on cue what he witnessed. Never mind if the people in the movie watching this thought it was believable: did anyone FILMING it think it was believable? Really?

WIDOWS' PEAK A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1994 Michael John Legeros
Directed by John Irvin Written by Hugh Leonard, from his original story Cast Mia Farrow, Joan Plowright, Natasha Richardson, Adrian Dunbar, and Jim Broadbent MPAA Rating PG Running Time 102 minutes
===
"That woman is a mockery of her s-e-x." - Plowright on Richardson
WIDOW'S PEAK is a shoddy comedy cum drama about a glamorous English war widow (Richardson) who wreaks havoc in the humble hamlet of Kilshannon, a small Irish resort town in the mid 1920's. Her home is on a hill--a minor mount called Widows' Peak, where all the residents are childless and manless. This maiden mafia is ruled by the blustery Mrs. Counihan (Plowright), whose son (Dunbar) is also the pride of the Peak. When the war widow sets her sights on the son, she also draws the attention of the Peaks' strangest spinster, Miss O'Hare (Farrow). Needless to say, the two commence a-feudin'.
WIDOW'S PEAK is shoddy. The dialogue is muted, the direction is limp, and the music is way too-intrusive. (For a contrast, look at the clean direction and smooth execution of SPEED. Different subjects; same medium.) The story--written over ten years ago with Mia's mom in mind--also has problems, notably in the late-in-the-film leap from comedy to drama.
The actors are fun, though, and help balance the boredom. Richardson is great and even manages an accurate American accent. Plowright is a gas, casually tossing off line after haughty line. "Enough's enough, we don't want to spoil them!" she tells her fellow widows, who are tending their husband's graves. Farrow is fine, but her character is underwritten. A loss. The two prominent males--Adrian Dunbar and Jim Broadbent--are both good.
Grade: C+

Computes (ST(1) ∗ log2(ST(0) + 1.0)), stores the result in register ST(1), and pops the FPU register stack. The source operand in ST(0) must be in the range:

The source operand in ST(1) can range from −∞ to +∞. If the ST(0) operand is outside of its acceptable range, the result is undefined and software should not rely on an exception being generated. Under some circumstances exceptions may be generated when ST(0) is out of range, but this behavior is implementation specific and not guaranteed.
The following table shows the results obtained when taking the log epsilon of various classes of numbers, assuming that underflow does not occur.

This instruction provides optimal accuracy for values of epsilon [the value in register ST(0)] that are close to 0. For small epsilon (ε) values, more significant digits can be retained by using the FYL2XP1 instruction than by using (ε+1) as an argument to the FYL2X instruction. The (ε+1) expression is commonly found in compound interest and annuity calculations. The result can be simply converted into a value in another logarithm base by including a scale factor in the ST(1) source operand. The following equation is used to calculate the scale factor for a particular loga-rithm base, where n is the logarithm base desired for the result of the FYL2XP1 instruction:
scale factor ← logn 2
This instruction’s operation is the same in non-64-bit modes and 64-bit mode.

If I could ask them one question, Since BLM …

Things to consider:
- In case there’s a reader thinking something like “But, all lives matter,” please understand that the statement “Black lives matter” presumes that all lives matter. The reason for saying Black lives matter isn’t to any way diminish the value of anyone of any other color. In fact, it’s kind of the opposite. Because Black lives have been diminished for so long, and still are diminished all too often, expressing that Black lives matter is simply saying they matter too. Black people are still prejudged and discriminated against by individuals and by the institutions of society, so it’s about time we recognize and treat these individuals as our brothers and sisters.
- Brigham Young became the leader of the Mormon Church when Joseph Smith was murdered, and the Church now has three universities that bear his name. But, in case someone isn’t aware of Brigham Young’s racism, here are a few of his teachings.
- “He [Brigham Young] described Black people as cursed with dark skin as punishment for Cain’s murder of his brother. ‘Any man having one drop of the seed of Cane in him cannot hold the priesthood,’ he declared in 1852” (The New York Times, see also The Teachings of President Brigham Young Vol. 3 1852–1854, p. 48).
- “Young deemed Black-white intermarriage so sinful that he suggested that a man could atone for it only by having ‘his head cut off’ and spilling ‘his blood upon the ground’” (The New York Times, see also The Teachings of President Brigham Young Vol. 3 1852–1854, p. 49).
- “Young believed the curse [curse of Cain or curse of Ham with resulting black skin] made Black people ineligible to vote, marry white people, or hold the priesthood” (Wikipedia, “Black people and Mormonism”, see also The Teachings of President Brigham Young Vol. 3 1852–1854, pp. 43, 44, and 50).
- “In an 1852 sermon, Mormon leader Brigham Young said blacks were better off as slaves because they were incapable of ruling themselves” (Chicago Tribune, see also The Teachings of President Brigham Young Vol. 3 1852–1854, p. 28).
- “In an 1852 speech, described himself as a ‘firm believer in slavery’” (Newsweek, see also this transcript).
- Should anyone have put their faith in Brigham Young? If not, then why is his legacy of racism supported by the Church in many ways including the universities named after the man? Isn’t it time to say we care so much about our brothers and sisters of color that we demand the Church’s universities be named for something or someone more worthy of an institution of higher education? Isn’t it time to topple the statues of Brigham Young at those universities, the Utah State Capitol, and wherever else they may be? Isn’t it time to apologize for the racism of Brigham Young?
- Do we put up with the racist legacy of Brigham Young partly because we think a sacred text so perfect it cannot be questioned? The Book of Mormon teaches that dark skin was given to Native Americans as a curse and a way to bring about segregation (Alma 3:6-10), so maybe that tends to normalize racism for believers?
- Or, do we fail to renounce the legacy of Brigham Young because we put our faith in the arm of flesh? The Book of Mormon extolls the faith of one woman in the words of Alma as greater than any faith among the Nephites during the 500 years prior (Alma 19:4-10), but her faith was all about faith in a mortal man, so maybe that discourages calling out a leader’s words because of “faith?”
- Regardless of the reasons, isn’t it time to say we have faith in something better? Is our faith strong enough to choose the right, regardless of the consequence? Can we really say we think Black lives matter if we enshrine mementos of honor to Brigham Young?
If this doesn’t seem to make sense, it might help to consider the roots of the problem of systemic racism, but I’m not the best person to explain that. Here’s
a video by Trevor Noah that does a much better job of explaining than I ever could.

Build an empty thread. Constructor. Initialize an empty thread (just a name)
|
|
|
Deallocate a Thread. Destructor. De-allocate a thread. NOTE: the current thread *cannot* delete itself directly, since it is still running on the stack that we need to delete. When the last thread of a process has finished, its process can be deallocated. |
|
|
Check if a thread has overflowed its kernel stack. Check a thread's stack to see if it has overrun the space that has been allocated for it. If we had a smarter compiler, we wouldn't need to worry about this, but we don't. NOTE: Nachos will not catch all stack overflow conditions. In other words, your program may still crash because of an overflow. If you get bizarre results (such as seg faults where there is no code) then you *may* need to increase the stack size. You can avoid stack overflows by not putting large data structures on the stack. Don't do this: void foo() { int bigArray[10000]; ... } |
|
|
Finish the execution of the thread, and prepare its deallocation. Called by ThreadRoot when a thread is done executing the forked procedure. NOTE: we don't immediately de-allocate the thread data structure or the execution stack, because we're still running in the thread and we're still on the stack! Instead, we set "threadToBeDestroyed", so that Scheduler::SwitchTo() will call the destructor, once we're running in the context of a different thread. NOTE: we disable interrupts, so that we don't get a time slice between setting threadToBeDestroyed, and going to sleep. Reimplemented in FixedPriorityThread. |

Initialize user-level CPU registers,. Set the initial values for the user-level register set (userContext field)

|
|
Wait for another thread to finish its execution. Sleep the thread until another thread finishes.
|
|
|
Restore user-level register state. Restore the CPU state of a user program on a context switch. (userContext field) Note that a user program thread has *two* sets of CPU registers -- one for its state while executing user code, one for its state while executing kernel code. This routine restores the former. |
|
|
Save user-level register state. Save the CPU state of a user program on a context switch (userContext field) Note that a user program thread has *two* sets of CPU registers -- one for its state while executing user code, one for its state while executing kernel code. This routine saves the former. |
|
|
Put the thread to sleep and relinquish the processor. Relinquish the CPU, because the current thread is blocked waiting on a synchronization variable (Semaphore, Lock, or Condition). Eventually, some thread will wake this thread up, and put it back on the ready queue, so that it can be re-scheduled. NOTE: if there are no threads on the ready queue, that means we have no thread to run. "Interrupt::Idle" is called to signify that we should idle the CPU until the next I/O interrupt occurs (the only thing that could cause a thread to become ready to run). NOTE: we assume interrupts are already disabled, because it is called from the synchronization routines which must disable interrupts for atomicity. We need interrupts off so that there can't be a time slice between pulling the first thread off the ready list, and switching to it. |

Start a thread, attaching it to a process (return NoError on success). Attach a thread to a process context (essentially an address space), and prepare it to be dispatched on the CPU
Reimplemented in FixedPriorityThread. |

Relinquish the CPU if any other thread is runnable. Relinquish the CPU if any other thread is ready to run. If so, put the thread on the end of the ready list, so that it will eventually be re-scheduled. NOTE: returns immediately if no other thread on the ready queue. Otherwise returns when the thread eventually works its way to the front of the ready list and gets re-scheduled. NOTE: we disable interrupts, so that looking at the thread on the front of the ready list, and switching to it, can be done atomically. On return, we re-set the interrupt level to its original state, in case we are called with interrupts disabled. |

Google Chrome Will Soon Shame Slow Websites and Reward Optimized Ones
by George KamauGoogle has just announced that its browser app, Chrome will soon start to identify and label slow websites while rewarding optimized websites. When browsing using the app, Chrome will notify users when a site may load slowly. This announcement was made during the Chrome Developer Summit ad the company will use a badging system.
How the badging system will work
The badging system Chrome plans to use will look at historical load latencies of websites to determine if they’re authored in a way that makes them load slow. This feature will be expanded in the future to include identifying when a page is likely to load slowly because of your internet connection or device.
When users click on a website that Chrome has identified as slow, users will be shown a message saying “Usually loads slow” on the loading screen. The site will also have a blue progress indicator.
When users visit an optimized site that loads faster, they’ll see a green progress indicator.
“Speed has been one of Chrome’s core principles since the beginning – we’re constantly working to give users an experience that is instant as they browse the web. That said, we have all visited web pages we thought would load fast, only to be met by an experience that could have been better. We think the web can do better and want to help users understand when a site may load slowly, while rewarding sites delivering fast experiences,” read the statement posted on the Chromium blog.
The exact dates of when the new badging system will go live were not revealed.
Attendees also resolved the spirited tabs vs spaces fight.
Long story short, spaces won with 51% of votes tallied via the bigwebquiz.com website.

'I am Virat Kohli', says David Warner's little daughter
by TIMESOFINDIA.COMNEW DELHI: Australia batsman David Warner's daughter, Indi Rae, wants to bat like India captain Virat Kohli when she grows up.
In a video posted by Warner on his Instagram account on Sunday, Indi could be seen playing cricket in the backyard of her house and saying "I am Virat Kohli" while playing a shot.
"I'm not sure about this one. Indi wants to be @virat.kohli Caption This??," Warner wrote while posting the video.
Kohli, who recently celebrated his 31st birthday, is currently on a break having been rested for the ongoing three-match T20I series against Bangladesh at home.
However, Kohli will return for the two-match Test series against the visitors.


3 Verify taxa
In this chapter we verify taxonomic information returned by the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. We do this because we want to use the backbone information to unify taxa that can be considered the same within or across checklists. This is straightforward for (accepted) taxa with the same backbone key (bb_key
), but requires verification for taxa the backbone does not recognize (no backbone match) or will lump under another name (synonyms). See 3.2.
3.1 Read taxa
Read taxa from data/interim/taxa_with_verification.csv
.
3.2 Read verification information
Verification information consists of a manually assigned verificationKey
for taxa the backbone does not recognize (no backbone match) or will lump under another name (synonyms). Those checklist/backbone/accepted
taxon combinations are stored in references/verification.tsv
, which was created/updated in previous runs of this chapter and then manually annoted with a verificationKey
.
3.3 Run and save verification
- Use the existing verification information to verify taxa with the function
trias::verify_taxa
:
<- trias::verify_taxa(taxa, verification) verification
Note: to start a verification from scratch, use trias::verify_taxa(taxa)
.
Save taxa with populated
verificationKey
back todata/interim/taxa_with_verification.csv
.Save updated verification back to
references/verification.tsv
(sorted onscientificName
)
3.4 Show verification status
3.4.1 Unmatched taxa
| Status | Number of taxa |
|---|---|
| Verified | 5 |
| Unverified | 92 |
| New in this run | 0 |
| No longer used | 15 |
Unmatched taxa are those for which the automatic backbone matching on the scientific name failed (have BACKBONE_MATCH_NONE
in issues
), either because the scientific name could not be parsed or because it is not listed in the backbone.
Verification (see 3.2) involves setting the verificationKey
to a manually found bb_key
. One could even set multiple bb_key
s, e.g. to split a hybrid formula into its hybrid parents.
3.4.2 Synonyms
| Status | Number of taxa |
|---|---|
| Previously verified | 232 |
| Unverified | 234 |
| New in this run | 0 |
| No longer used | 135 |
Synonyms are taxa that the backbone will lump under an accepted taxon (taxonomicStatus
= SYNONYM
or similar). This lumping is often correct, but should be verified.
Verification (see 3.2) involves setting the verifiedKey
to one of the following:
- accepted
bb_key
suggested by GBIF: backbone synonymy is accepted and taxon will be lumped. - another accepted
bb_key
: backbone synonymy is rejected, but taxon will be lumped under another name. bb_key
of taxon itself: backbone synonymy is rejected, taxon will be considered as separate taxon.
3.4.3 Accepted taxa
| Status | Number of taxa |
|---|---|
| Verified (automatic) | 3151 |
| Unverified | 0 |
Accepted taxa are those the backbone considers own entities (taxonomicStatus
= ACCEPTED
or DOUBTFUL
) that won’t be lumped.
No verification is required for these: verificationKey
is automatically set to their bb_key
.
3.4.4 Erroneous verificationKeys
Provided verification keys that are not found in the GBIF backbone:
3.4.5 Additional information
Additional information regarding the verification information that is of no further consequence.
- Duplicate taxa (having same
bb_key
andbb_acceptedKey
) that are quick wins to verify:
- Previously listed synonyms for which the scientific name was updated in the backbone:
- Previously listed synonyms for which the accepted scientific name was updated in the backbone:


To set or edit a sampling design strategy, please click the edit button below.
Upload a Reporting Unit CSV file
The base unit is the first level of aggregation. (i.e. a plot, subplot, or a section within a plot).
Use area weighting when each proportion of each plot falling in a domain is estimated by the proportion of the plot areas falling in the domain
In the Double or Two phase sampling initially a sample of units is selected for obtaining auxiliary information only,
and then a second sample is selected in which the variable of interest is observed in addition to the auxiliary information. Double sampling is also called two-phase sampling.
In the two-stage sampling design the population is partitioned into groups, like cluster sampling, but in this design new samples are taken from each cluster sampled.
The clusters are the first stage units to be sampled, called primary or first sampling units (PSU). The second-stage units are the elements of those clusters, called sub-units, secondary or second sampling units (SSU).
A stratified sampling design purposely partitions the target population into two or more non-overlapping subpopulations, called strata, which are sampled separately.
Use the 'Upload Csv' button below to import the strata and select the column that represents the straum in the data.
In cluster sampling the population is partitioned into groups, called clusters.
Each element should belong to one cluster only and none of the elements of the population should be left out.
Select which variable is used to join the data with the the lowest level of the hierarchy of the reporting unit.
Reporting Unit (AOI)
Base Unit
Reporting Unit (AOI) join
Select columns to import
Select captions for the Reporting Unit (AOI) hierarchy levels


Select File Browser .. from the File menu. Choose a directory (or create one), where you want the code to reside.
Right click on the directory and choose New XMF File From Template > Package to create an XMF file.
The file will contain the default declarations needed to construct an XMF package definition. Change the name of the file to Components.xmf.
We will be creating a package in the context of the Root package, so make sure that the context is set to Root. There are no imports.
Code can now be entered for each of the classes in the model. For a detailed guide to XOCL and XMF classes and package see Part 3 of this guide.
The following code constructs the classes used in the Airports model. Note that constructors have been added for each class, and that attributes have getters (?) and setters (!), and in the case of Set and Sequence types, updators (+) and removers (-).

This year I went to Apple’s WWDC for the first time. I got the chance to be where every iOS developer wanted to be. The place where stuff happened. The place with the best among all. The place that mattered.
We got to San Francisco the weekend before the conference and left the weekend after, so we had some time to explore a new city I didn’t know. First of all, the food is great. I had the best burger, the best chinese and the best pizza I’ve ever had. And I’m a foodie. Just Yelp it and be happy. There’s a lot of tourism you can do in SF, some of the things we did were visiting Alcatraz, bike to Sausalito and drive to the Silicon Valley and visit the great tech companies HQs.
Monday, when the WWDC starts, we got out of the hotel at 4:30am and got to the keynote line at around 4:45am and it was already huge. Honestly, I was skeptical about the keynote being all of what people say. But, as a first timer I thought I just had to go and see. We had bought beach chairs at Target in the Sunday and sat in the line and got to know new people, exchange ideas, do some networking. Despite the cold and sleepiness, the line itself was already worthy of the effort. But, thankfully, everything was worthy. Sure, some say we had the best keynote since the iPhone, but if you’re a first timer, do find time and motivation to go to the keynote.
Throughout the WWDC, the sessions were outstanding. Me and my team split up to cover the maximum ground we could. Later we would get together to share what we learned and who we met. One thing I regret is not going to more labs. I was too focused on the sessions and lost this opportunity. Have this in mind: the sessions are streamed. Everyone can see it and you don’t have to be at the WWDC to keep up to it. Tête-à-tête with Apple engineers is a one-of-a-kind experience. You can only do it by being there. The Design Lab lines can get pretty overwhelming. There were already people waiting outside the Moscone at 7am and Apple’s designers insight of your app is priceless. This is my main advice:
Prioritise people time rather than session time. Don’t interrupt a conversation to go to a session. Sessions must be you’re last resource. If you have nothing to do, go see one.
It’s easy to see great faces there. Tim Cook wandered about, Craig Federighi took selfies with whoever asked him, Steve Streza and his green hair was everywhere, Marco Arment, John Gruber, Aaron Hillegass and his cowboy hat… if you see someone you admire, go and talk to them. Lose your shyness. They are mostly great people and will be happy to talk to you and give you advice. There were also outstanding folks at the AltConf. Great talkers like Matt Thompson and Orta Therox that only attended to the AltConf.
Go to parties and get togethers. Get to know people. Lot’s of companies promote after parties at their HQs. Twitter, Github, Foursquare, Pinterest, Yelp, Dropbox, Pebble, Square… these are just some of the after parties. Worst case scenario, you get to eat and drink for free and get to know their office.
Basically, my advice is the same my mom gave to me over and over: go outside and talk to people.

already asking too much of the class system?
Also strange: if I change has_colimits
to a structure, then I need to add universe annotations to many of its use sites, even if I control for all the variables I'm aware of (same syntactic return universe, both assigned class

)
I think I witnessed similar problems when I tried to get the stuff on presheaves in line with the merged limits PR. But I didn't investigate further.

I'm from Redlands, CA originally, and I now live in Marina del Rey, CA.
A little over a year ago, I graduated from USC - the University of Southern California - where I studied business with a focus in entrepreneurship and communication with a focus in the entertainment industry.
For a year I worked as an accountant/office manager at a software company that makes HR software for the government, but I recently quit to pursue software development.
Thing I love:
- Food (self-proclaimed "foodie")
- Traveling the World
- Anime (dubbed or subbed, but no Japanese yet)
- "Educational" Television
- Craft Beer - I brew my own!
- Learning New Skills and Languages
- Nature, especially the ocean!
Someday I hope to start my own business. I've already got a ton of ideas written down in a little Moleskine I carry around with me, and I've written several business plans, kind of as a weird hobby. I guess, at this point, I'm just waiting until I feel I'm ready to take the leap. Coding skills might be the last tool on the utility belt to make me feel prepared.
Anywhooo...This is my site, and that's who I am.

This document describes a list of coding conventions that are required for code submissions to the project. By default, the coding conventions for most Open Source projects should follow the existing coding conventions in the code that you are working on. For example, if the bracket is on the same line as the if statement, then you should write all your code to follow that convention.
Please follow these conventions closely. It makes life so much easier.
Brackets should begin and end on a new line. Examples:
if( foo ) { // code here } try { // code here } catch( final Exception bar ) { // code here } finally { // code here } while( true ) { // code here }
The preference is to include extra spaces between parenthesis and expression. For example;
if( foo )
4 spaces. NO tabs. Period. We understand that a lot of you like to use tabs, but the fact of the matter is that in a distributed development environment, when the cvs commit messages get sent to a mailing list, they are almost impossible to read if you use tabs.
In Emacs-speak, this translates to the following command:
(setq-default tab-width 4 indent-tabs-mode nil)
In vim, having the following in your .vimrc will help:
set tabstop=4 set expandtab set list set listchars=tab:>.
Unix linefeeds for all .java source code files. Other platform specific files should have the platform specific linefeeds.
Javadoc SHOULD exist on all your methods. Also, if you are working on existing code and there currently isn't a javadoc for that method/class/variable or whatever, then you should contribute and add it. This will improve the project as a whole.
The Jakarta Apache/Avalon License MUST be placed at the top of each and every file.
If you contribute to a file (code or documentation), add yourself to the top of the file. For .java files the preferred Javadoc format is:
@author <a<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Doe</a>
Indent comments on an 80 column basis and the code on a 100 column basis, using two more indents when a line must be wrapped.
We focus on readability over performance, at least initially. Source code optimization is the last thing to be done to increase performance. If the code is not performing then it is better to re-engineer it rather than to expand loops, take out variable declarations etc. When the code is stable and has a well defined purpose and interface it may be appropriate to do source code optimization.
Try to javadoc all methods and variables, especially public, protected and default access methods and member variables. Also add code comments when you think it's necessary (like assumptions).
Variables are declared in the inner scope.
while( myListIterator.hasNext() ) { final String myString = (String)myListIterator.next(); }
Variables should be descriptive and ideally English words. The exceptions being loop counters (usually use i, j and k), exceptions (use concatenation of word separating characters - i.e. SocketException is abbreviated as se) and other commonly used abbreviations (i.e. sb for StringBuffer).
try { for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) { // some stuff } } catch( final FileNotFoundException fnfe ) { // some stuff } catch( final IndexOutOfBoundsException ioobe ) { // some stuff }
Use String concatenation except in extremely performance sensitive sections. This leaves StringBuffer optimization to the compiler. So use:
final String myString = "test " + "for " + "performances";
Try not to declare a method as 'synchronized'. If a method accesses a shared resource then surround accesses to that resource with a synchronized block. Ideally the synchronized block should surround the smallest possible area. For example:
public void sharedMethod() { String display = null; synchronized( this ) { display = mySharedObject.getHelloWorld(); } System.out.println( display ); }
If you are within a static method, then you may have to create a static object whose sole purpose in life is to provide the lock you need. Alternatively you could use the Class object for the class you are in. That is, if you're in class MyClass, use "MyClass.class".
Have the names of all member instance fields start with the prefix "m_". Example:
class MyClass { Class m_class = MyClass.class; int m_users; }
Don't chain method calls. The below:
Thing thing = (MyThing)myObject.doSomething().doSomethingElse().getMyThing();
is considered bad practice because it hides problems relating to synchronization, resource management, etc. The example above might become:
final MySomething something = myObject.doSomething(); final MyElse somethingElse = something.doSomethingElse(); Thing thing = somethingElse.getMyThing();
The extra typing will help keep the code bug-free.
Thanks for your cooperation.

The paper describes YouTube’s deep learning-based recommendation system.
Scale - Very large number of users and videos.
Freshness - Very large number of videos uploaded every hour. The recommendation system should take these new videos into account as well.
Noise - User satisfaction needs to be modeled from noisy implicit feedback signal as the explicit signal is very sparse.
Two neural networks: one for candidate generation and another one for ranking.
Metrics
Offline metrics like precision, recall, ranking loss
A/B testing via live experiments
Input: events from a user’s YouTube activity history.
Output: small subset (hundreds) of videos.
Approach:
Recommendation is modeled as extreme multiclass classification.
Predict the video (from a corpus) that a user will watch at a given time.
The neural network’s task is to learn useful user embeddings, given the user’s context and history.
For each positive class (relevant video), negative classes (non-relevant videos) are sampled from the video corpus.
Model Architecture
A feedforward network with input as user embeddings and context embeddings (watch history).
Watch history is a variable-length sequence of video ids, where each video id is mapped to an embedding.
The sequence of video ids is mapped to a sequence of embeddings, and this sequence is averaged to obtain fixed-sized embedding.
Additional signals like demographic features and search query embeddings can be added along with the context embeddings.
The age of a video is also used as a feature during training to account for the freshness of the content. This feature is set to zero (or slightly negative) during inference.
Other Insights
Training examples are generated from all YouTube watches, including the watches from the videos embedded on other sites, to surface new content.
Generating the same number of training examples per user is important to avoid a small set of active users from dominating the model training.
Predicting a user’s next watch leads to better results than predicting a randomly held-out watch. This can be attributed to the general consumption pattern of videos (e.g., episodes are usually watched in order).
Input: list of candidate videos to rank from.
Output: score for each video.
Approach
Feature representation
Different types of features: categorical vs. continuous, univalent vs. multivalent, describes video vs. describes user or context.
Important signals include user’s interaction with the video (or similar videos), which source/channel added the video to the candidate set.
Embeddings are shared across features. For example, the representation for a video id remains the same, irrespective of whether it is being used for representing the “video to recommend” or the “last seen video.”
Feature normalization and transformations like exponents (square or square root) for continuous variables improve the performance.
To model the expected watch time, the logistic regression loss is weighted by the observed watch time. For example, if a video was watched, its weight is given by the observed watch time, and if the video was not watched, its weight is set to 1.
In practice, this means that the logistic regression model learns odds that approximate the expected watch time of the video.


How SaveSnap for Snapchat works:
-
When you receive a snap from the Snapchat, Launch SaveSnap for Snapchat.
-
After successful login you can see the list of the snaps you have received.
-
Tap the one (which has available to download status) you wish to view and wait until fetch is finished.
-
After download is complete, you can view the snap as many times as you want and share it directly to social networks or wave to the library.
Please note! If you open the message in the Snapchat first, you will not be able to save the content in SaveSnap for Snapchat.

What a colorful post!
This is an idea that came from xukimseven/HardCandy-Jekyll
looking at this cheerful and colorful theme, I wanted to enable something similar for Type-on-Strap.
You can go fork and star HardCandy-Jekyll too! 😉
This theme is compatible with Bootstrap if you choose to use it in your pages or posts.
Here is a little demo with a code snippet, look at the source to see how the HTML and markdown get tangled.
Hopefully you will find enough information about how to set images in your blog here.
This is an example of a post which includes a feature image specified in the front matter of the post.
The feature image spans the full-width of the page, and is shown with the title on permalink pages:

BioVis 2011 Abstract
Analysis-Ready Meshes of Neuronal Forests
Construction of spatially realistic models of neuronal processes is an essential step toward meaningful electro-physiological and reaction-diffusion simulations. Many techniques have been developed to replicate the intricate branching of the dendritic arbor of single neuronal processes, but few methods are able to capture the native structures of multiple cells in close proximity, i.e. the 3D structure of neuropil, or a "forest" of structures. In this abstract, we propose criteria for analysis-readiness of a mesh and present a pipeline of methods along with a suite of computational tools to reconstruct, from a stack of serial section transmission electron microscopy (ssTEM) images, surface and volumetric mesh forests that meet these criteria.
