Founder and CEO
We serve young men of color between the 7th and 11th grade who are from low income communities. Since 2009, we’ve used the concept of developing strong teams as a way for our young men to learn about collaboration, ideation, and long-lasting life skills. In small teams our youths learn the process of taking an idea from concept to market.
We use coding as the catalyst that can take young men of color and turn them into technology leaders who build positive communities. To us, computer programming is the tool that helps our teens learn how to learn, to develop discipline, and to build confidence.
Teens Exploring Technology (TXT) was founded by Oscar Menjivar, a graduate of Jordan High School, in 2008. Growing up in Watts, California, Oscar lost friends to drugs, crime, and prison. He thanks his mentor and lacrosse coach, Mr. Wonders, for helping him to stay on track and encouraging him to pursue higher education. Oscar ultimately received an undergraduate degree in computer science from Cal Poly Pomona and a Master’s degree in Educational Technology from Pepperdine University.
Teens Exploring Technology was created because many of Oscar’s adolescent experiences connected with his vision to empower teens from similar communities as his . As a kid Oscar had a passion for technology, so he enrolled in the only tech class offered in his school, which turned out to be a glorified typing class. Even though his school didn’t offer any relevant opportunities in tech, Oscar pursued his love for technology through higher education.
A decade after graduating, Oscar was invited to speak with the students of Jordan High School. He was shocked to learn that the school’s tech curriculum had not changed since his time as a student. Teens in his school still lacked opportunities to make them competitive in the marketplace. He knew it was time to create a program that would allow others in his community and similar ones to compete in the 21st century.
While working in the classroom as a teacher and also working with schools and organizations as an educational technology professional, he noticed an upsetting trend. Young men of color in South Los Angeles were failing classes and dropping out of high school at alarming rates. Through research, he confirmed that 55% of males drop out of school in his community, which translates into high incarceration, unemployment, and death rates for African Americans and Latinos.
Teens Exploring Technology (TXT) encourages inner city teenage Black and Latino males to become catalysts of change in urban communities. Our approach is to use technology as a tool for promoting positive youth development and leadership, and ultimately paving the pathway to higher education and majors and careers in Science, Technology Engineering, Math (STEM).

INDEPENDENCE DAY A film review by Lewis Butler Copyright 1995 Lewis Butler
In short: One of the best action movies to come along in years. INDEPENDENCE DAY (ID4) has everything it needs to take its place with such movies as STAR WARS and TERMINATOR 2. Whether it will attain such heights remians to be seen, but all the makings are there. It is not, however, perfect. +3 on the old -4/+4.
ID4 is a movie with something for everyone. It has a large cast of characters, so there's plenty of people to identify with. The plot is basic and simple: Aliens finally come, and they're not friendly. The movie starts with the alien mothership's arrival, a huge ship 1/4th the size of the moon. The first half-hour is all about the arrival and Earth's reaction to it. Then things start getting messy.
The plot is thin, but adequate. Before humanity is completely exterminated, we have to find a way to win against superior technology. Seemingly, we don't have a chance. The Alien ships are bigger, more powerful, and they have some sort of energy shield that we can't penetrate. It's going to be tough.
Bill Pullman plays the only completly unbelievable character in the movie, an American President who is not a political weasel, but a fairly young ex-fighter pilot hero of the Gulf War, politcally naive. A man of honor and ethics. Basically, he plays a President the exact opposite of our current canidates if they were merged into one. That said, he's a convincing character, and you can't help liking him. He gets the audience on his side when he announces that he is staying in Washington DC even after the 15 mile wide alien spaceship (one of 30) takes position directly over the White House. He send the vice-president and the cabinet to Norad. Of course, we've seen the White House get blown up in the previews...
A lot of people die in this movie, obviously. But while it could have been a lot of faceless people, the filmmakers take the time to introduce us to a few of them. It gives the movie a little bit of an edge and prevents it from becoming completely silly summer escapism. It's still mostly that, don't be deceived, but there's enough there to keep you going.
One of the things I enjoyed about this film was that it made an effort not to ignore the rest of the world. Yes, it's an American film about Americans, but there are just enough cutaways to other parts of the world so that we know what's happening. And though we don't see them, the rest of the world is fighting their own battle, with just a little bit fo help from the Americans.
There are many nice touches throughout the film, and many references, somtimes oblique, to other films. Look for Randy Quaid late in the film doing a scene from... well, that might be considered a spoiler. You'll know it when you see it.
Performances are solid all the way around. Some of the highlights are Will Smith, playing a fighter pilot; Judd Hirsch as Jeff Goldblum's father; eff Goldblum as a computer geek; and Brent Spinner as a xenobiologist or soemthing whose been locked away underground for 30 years or so. Pullman, Goldblum, and Smith form the core cast of the film.
It is easy to dismiss this as "just another summer movie." But I would remind people of some other, recent, summer movies. HUDSON HAWK. THE LAST ACTION HERO. BEVERLY HILLS COP III. TANGO AND CASH. DIE HARD II. Get the point? While this may not be a "great" movie, it is exactly what it wants to be, entertaining. It is very entertaining.
And the effects. I haven't even mentioned the special effects, and this movie is loaded with them. Still, what is there to say? We live in a time where special effects in movies are so good it's really only worth discussing them when they are poorly done. They are not poorly done. They are spectacular. The most impressive effects are the ones involving the destruction of the various cities.
See it, it is the best "summer" movie in a lot of summers. Better, even, than TRUE LIES.

Question
Given two numbers represented as strings, return multiplication of the numbers as a string.
Note: The numbers can be arbitrarily large and are non-negative.
Stats
| Frequency | 3 |
| Difficulty | 4 |
| Adjusted Difficulty | 4 |
| Time to use | -------- |
Ratings/Color = 1(white) 2(lime) 3(yellow) 4/5(red)
Solution
The basic idea is to multiple numbers 1 by 1, and do decimal carry later. Note the max length of result is (m+n) assuming 2 input are length m and n respectively.
The code seems easy, but be careful when converting result array into string. That is, we should omit preceding ‘0’s.
Read this blog for more.
My code
public class Solution {
public String multiply(String num1, String num2) {
if (num1 == null || num1.length() == 0) {
return "0";
} else if (num2 == null || num2.length() == 0) {
return "0";
}
int len1 = num1.length();
int len2 = num2.length();
int len = len1 + len2;
// eg. 99 * 999 = 98901
int[] digits = new int[len];
for (int i = 1; i <= len1; i++) {
for (int j = 1; j <= len2; j++) {
// multiply the (i)th number from the end of num1
// with the (j)th number from the end of num2
int product = (num1.charAt(len1 - i) - '0') * (num2.charAt(len2 - j) - '0');
// this produce saves to the (i+j-1)th position in array
int ansPos = len + 1 - i - j;
digits[ansPos] += product;
}
}
// answer is got and saved in digits array, but we
// need to handle the carry numbers
for (int i = len - 1; i > 0; i--) {
digits[i - 1] += digits[i] / 10;
digits[i] %= 10;
}
// last step is the print the answer, but mind the prefix 0s
int p = 0;
while (p < len && digits[p] == 0) {
p++;
}
if (p == len) {
return "0";
} else {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while (p < len) {
sb.append(String.valueOf(digits[p++]));
}
return sb.toString();
}
}
}

Talking to people outside your echo chamber: SocNLP challenges
This blog is NOT political, even though the story below will show some of my political views. I’m sharing it because it highlights a burning issue in computational social science that is getting nowhere near enough attention. Reader beware.
Academics and Populism
Like most researchers I know, I’ve been politically apathetic until a few years ago. Politicians were doing their stuff, I was doing mine, all according to the basic principles of representative democracy and everybody being professional.
Then there came the populist wave, and more and more academics started wearing activist hats. If the elected politicians seem to have no idea what they are doing, the professional in us demands trying to do something about it. Isn’t it obvious that the world is complex and big decisions should be made by experts?
Well, no. It’s obvious to you, the reader of my academic blog who probably has a PhD or two. Most of the world doesn’t have a PhD or two.  And all around they only see people like themselves. You, dear reader, are not represented there, for you have been living in your own bubble, and you have so far been completely irrelevant to their concerns.
And then in comes the populist. He does one thing right: he addresses all the pent-up anger, frustration, fear of change. He promises a solution - an appealingly simple one. This solution runs against every bit of evidence that the experts have, but from the point of view of the people without PhDs that’s actually ok because (a) the experts get things wrong too, and (b) the experts are obviously not interested in addressing the above concerns of people without PhDs. If anything, it’s the expert’s work that’s making the world less and less comprehensible. And now there’s finally a guy who is actually talking to these people, for a change.
The “solution” the people are offered will actually make their lives worse, not better - but they never took a statistics class. And so the populist is riding the anger wave to victory.
The Brexit movie provides a helpful demonstration of what happens when we’re trying to fact-check the populist’s arguments. All we need to do is to prove the populist wrong, to get the facts straight, right?
No. Fact-checking won’t help because the populst is talking to the emotions of these people. Until the emotions are addressed, no facts will get through.
Case study: an evangelical Trump supporter
Here’s an Uber ride I will never forget. I was in a new area (Buffalo, NY), I wanted to learn more about it, and the driver (let’s call him Dave) was very talkative. According to Dave, the place was very vibrant, with all kinds of jobs, opportunities, fun, and strong economy (it didn’t actually look like any of that to me, and Dave’s own car was quite beat-up). It was also full of good God-loving people who supported Trump.
Among the theses that came my way in a steady stream, with almost no prompting, were the following:
- Democrats are trying to impeach Trump because he is not allowing them to take the Word of God from schools and courts.
- Trump is mentioned in Bible. He’s obviously the trumpet before the Judgement Day. There’s a prophecy of him ruling for 8 years.
- Trump is fundamentally a good Christian who never did any of the bad stuff that the media are lying about.
- All technology is evil (including Dave’s own car and his phone, except when he uses the phone for reading Bible). But Trump, thankfully, is taking the country back to 1800s when it was the richest country and everything was good and people worried about God and not stars in the sky.
Dear reader of my academic blog with a PhD degree: I know what you’re thinking. But let’s try to resist the urge to dismiss Dave as a certifiable lunatic who shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
I have to admit I am a terrible actress. I was unable to maintain a straight face, and was only saved by my hat and the fact that Dave was driving and watching the road rather than me.
Still, I’m proud to say that I was able to not laugh, to not ridicule any of the above theses, to not sound as a militant atheist. To not come off as an elitist intellectual jerk with zero points of intersection with Dave’s version of reality. I did get out of his car with his saying it was nice talking to me.
Why did I bother? Why should we all try harder for such an outcome? Simply because there are many more people like Dave than like you and me. And we all live in democracies, a.k.a. the worst form of government except all others. Unless our minority manages to share our knowledge in a way that would actually address the concerns and improve the lives of the frustrated majority, the populism is going to march on.
It’s also worth pondering over the fact that we have more knowledge than Dave largely because we were luckier with where we were born. Many of his views are ridiculous, but he as a human being is not. I sincerely hope I don’t sound condescending or patronising in writing this, for that’s neither my intention nor sentiment. I think that we fundamentally share a desire for a better world and each other’s well-being, and we both believe we know how to help with that. We just dramatically disagree on the implementation.
So, I took a deep breath and decided to try to get us to agree about something. I cautiously led the conversation to the evils of technology that is destroying the environment, and got him to say that Jesus would probably not want that. Then I threw in Trump’s pulling out of the Paris agreement. Dave wasn’t aware of either its existence or the fact of Trump’s pulling out. He said there must have been a good reason. I brought up the oil lobbying. Then his mind somehow jumped to oil in Iran and Israel (???), and I couldn’t bring him back before the car stopped.
Dear reader, these conversations are much, much harder than talking even to your most bitter academic opponents. I am spoiled with people staying on track of the discussion, and even helpfully making conclusions from what has been agreed on. Neither was the case with Dave, and I did not know how to handle that.
Lessons learned
Dave exists, and there are millions like him who will easily outvote the handful of us smarty pants. In doing so, they will be badly deceived, and the result will be bad for both them and us. And it will be partly the fault of us smarty pants who are not communicating at the right level and with the right kind of empathy. Needless to say, this goes far beyond Trump and US.
In conversation with Dave, I only get the points for being able to sustain a civil conversation, and maybe for getting one new fact across. But here’s what I’d do differently next time.
1) Start from establishing empathy. That’s actually fairly easy, because life is hard for all of us, only in different ways.
2) Avoid non-starters. I did ask how come Christians vote for Trump with his self-admitted grabbing women. Dave was unwilling to believe anything coming from the press, and I probably sounded confrontational.
3) Mention being a researcher. Even if you fail to convey any information, hopefully there would be a memory of researchers being real and nice people, and not completely out of touch with the reality of Dave’s life. Most likely, he has no face for the broad category of “experts”, like I didn’t have a face for “evangelical Trump supporters”.
4) Practice the poker face.
People inherently prefer simplicity and coherence. We all build our own biased model of the world as we go, and we will try to just ignore/discard any facts not fitting in. Sawing doubt is only possible by presenting conflicting evidence on something that a mind is not yet cemented against. In this case, it turns out that Dave does NOT actually follow news obsessively, and facts that come from a friendly-looking concrete person rather than the abstract enemy-of-the-people-press might get in - given that the empathy has been established.
What I did do right was reframing. Dave and I both care about environmental issues, but taking his perspective (religious) made it easier to bring in new facts. Here’a a great TEDx talk on the technique, with a conservative/liberal case study.
Implications for computational social science
So, we’ve known about the echo chamber effects (Pariser, 2011; Pariser, 2011) for a while. Still, nothing much seems to be happening. In fact, even when the users are shown just how coccooned they are, the diversity of their connections does not increase (Gillani, Yuan, Saveski, Vosoughi, & Roy, 2018).
There are several successful projects for starting conversations across political spectrum, such as Hi From The Other Side and Fiskitt. Kialo is an excellent debate tool. There are also a few tools for visualizing the bubbles, such as Blue Feed, Red Feed by Wall Street Journal, Read Across the Aisle, All sides. Multiple organizations are now engaged in fact-checking and flagging clickbait and fake news stories, e.g. FactCheck.org. Still, all these efforts only target the people who actively self-select and already assume the other side is worth talking to. Dave would probably not be there.
If the trouble starts on social media, and most people don’t go anywhere else, this is where the changes need to happen. That depends on the goodwill of companies whose business fundamentally depends on echo chambers. But let’s say they do want to change (Greene, 2019). How is it even possible, after everybody got so used to the mental comfort of their echo chambers? How can we reach out beyond the slim margin of people who are already open-minded enough to sign up for “Hi from the other side”?
I don’t have the answers, but here are some ideas of how NLP could help.
-
Matching people from opposing communities who have better chances of finding a common ground, to facilitate cross-bubble conversation. For instance, it is more difficult for me to find a common ground with Dave than for someone who is progressive, but also religious.
-
Tracking the sources of funding for polytical ads, and displaying those alongside with the ad, prominently: the organization, what it lobbies for, known polytical connections.
-
We know very little about the actual effectiveness of targeted advertising. Each campaign is unique and impossible to repeat, and it’s equally impossible to tell precisely how effective its tactics were. For instance, there is an opinion that Cambridge Analytica problem was overblown because the effectiveness of targeting based on personality traits is unclear (Chen, 2018). To me, it looks like a rashed conclusion, since the election results were very close, and the process can never be reproduced.
-
A lot of time and money is invested into factchecking, but it’s not effectiveness is unclear (De Carbonnel, 2019). We need more research on how that could be enhanced. See above: the conversation has to start with empathy, simply correcting the facts probably will not work at all.
-
Cesar Hidalgo (MIT) suggests a “flip feed” button that would show you stories from the other side (Adee, 2016). Clearly, if you’re in a bubble, there’s already an algorithm that knows what your bubble is. I’d argue that it could be more productive to not completely flip the feed, but to gradually widen it with bridge stories.
-
We need more research into not just detection of hate speech and abuse, but in ways to promote constructive conversations. Non-experts could probably use more tools for visualizing and connecting the evidence that’s coming in. Experts definitely need some kind of reminders to humanize and empathize, rather than only drown the non-experts in facts.
For the last point, let’s all start offline. When we are lucky to meet a Dave, let’s just try to do a better job of reaching out. We’ve only got this one planet. We need his help, and he needs ours.

Amounts Owed
The "Amounts Owed" category of your credit score analyzes your use of your available credit. This category considers both your installment loans (e.g. a mortgage or car loan) and your revolving accounts (e.g. credit cards, lines of credit). Generally speaking, your revolving credit usage is more heavily weighted (positively and negatively) in the score.
Revolving Utilization Ratio Importance
This references the balances you owe on revolving accounts compared to the limits on those revolving accounts. If you have a $1,000 limit credit card and you owe $500, your revolving utilization ratio is 50%. Add up the balances on all of your revolving accounts and divide by the sum of the limits on all your revolving accounts and that's your overall revolving utilization ratio. Lower revolving utilization ratios are considered favorable by a FICO® Score. Remember that FICO® Scores Consider how you use your revolving credit in several ways: 1) your overall revolving utilization ratio (discussed above) and 2) your utilization ratio on specific types or number of accounts (discussed below).
Your Overall Utilization Ratio
Amounts Owed
*Category rating provided by Lexington Law, not tied to FICO® Score Analysis
My Amounts Owed 84%
What does this mean?
An overall utilization ratio of 84% is likely having a negative effect on your FICO® Score. Groups of consumers with utilization ratios in this higher range can, but don't always, include those who risk becoming overextended, maxed out, and less able to repay their debts. While there is no specific cutoff, each chance you have to lower your revolving utilization ratio may improve the chances that your FICO® Score will increase. Your ratio is created by comparing your balances on all of your revolving accounts to your available credit limits. Right now, Cozette, the balances owed on all of your revolving accounts is $5,111, and your overall available credit is $2,000.
Expert advice for lowering your overall utilization ratio:
- Ask for higher credit limits from your credit card companies. Higher limits equal better debt-to-credit-limit ratios. However, with that said, it's also important to remember that applying for too much new credit too quickly can also negatively impact your score.
- Become an authorized user. In other words, become a cardholder on someone else's positive credit card account with their permission. This will allow the additional available credit to appear on your report and lower your overall utilization ratio-- which could lead to score improvement.
- Pay down any cards that are over-the-limit until they are within the limit. This should help you avoid additional over-the-limit fees too.
- Consider equalizing your balances so that no debt's "utilization ratio" is higher than 50%.
- Once below 50%, start paying down the card balance one at a time. Don't close them once they're paid.
Utilization Ratio
130%
What does this mean?
An overall revolving utilization ratio of 130% is likely having a negative effect on your FICO® Score. Groups of consumers with utilization ratios in this higher range can, but don't always, include those who risk becoming overextended, maxed out, and less able to repay their debts. While there is no specific cutoff, each chance you have to lower your revolving utilization ratio may improve the chances that your FICO® Score will increase.
Credit Limit Increase Instructions
When consumers carry a high debt-to-credit-limit ratio (higher ratios – such as 50% or greater – are considered riskier by FICO® Score as compared to lower ratios) it's possible to make immediate score improvement by increasing your credit limit on your current credit cards, thus lowering your overall debt-to-credit-limit ratio.
For example: if you have a $900 balance on one credit card with a $1,000 credit limit, that particular card would have a 90% revolving utilization ratio. However, if your credit card provider were to increase your credit limit to $2,000, you would only be at 45%. This may positively impact the score.
To request a credit limit increase, contact your credit card provider. If your card is in good standing, you may be able to increase your credit limit immediately. Consumers can either notify the customer service department that you would like to increase your credit limit, or you may visit the credit card provider's website, log in, and navigate to the section entitled "Request A Credit Limit Increase."
While these requests to increase your credit limit generally show up as a soft inquiry (AMAccount Monitoring, AR - Account Review, Update) or an inquiry that is not damaging to your credit score, it's always wise to verify with the credit card provider that a hard inquiry, or an inquiry that could negatively affect your score, will not appear on your credit report.
For assistance in deciding the credit limit increase amount, feel free to contact your paralegal at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

The authors consider collision less neutrino propagation. The convention for Hamiltonian is
The idea is that axial symmetry can be spontaneously broken in multiangle approach or continuous angle distribution. That is to say, even we start from a axial symmetric configuration, the axial symmetric for flavor instabilities can be broken locally.
Comment: This result seems to be weird. We have axial symmetry of initial conditions. Meanwhile the equation of motion preserves the axial symmetry.

Linearized Equation of Motion
Assuming the solution to perturbation $S$ has the form $S = Q_\Omega e^{i\Omega r}$, where $\Omega=\gamma + i \kappa$.
Question: What happens if
Then the equation of motion becomes the rhs integral being 0. Either the integrand is zero, or the integrand has positive and negative regions and they sum up to zero.
I don’t think we can solve this equation.
The integral on the right hand side should have the form
The solution to $Q_\Omega$ should be of the form
Then we plug this result back into the equation of motion and find out a matrix equation for the unknown coefficients $a,b,c,d$. We require that the equation has nontrivial solutions. So the problem becomes an eigenvalue problem.
Axial Symmetric Emission
The spectrum $g$ doesn’t depend on $\phi$. But the solution to frequency can depend on $\phi$.
About Equation 13
In the beginning, it wasn’t so clear how could it be true.
Mathematically, with $I$ defined,
In equation 12,
becomes
Move them to the same side, we have
from which we solve $1/I$.
From the meaning of $a,b,c,d$ we know that $c,d$ are associated with angle $\phi$ so they are related to the MAA solution. We also know that the solution $I_1=-1$ is the one related to $c,d$ which indicates that this is the MAA solution.
The paper also says that
is bimodal solution while
is the MZA solution.
Not sure why.

Google starts rolling out incognito mode for Google Maps on Android devices
The new mode was first announced four months ago at Google IO, and has now started to land on smartphones globally
by IANSThe US based search engine giant Google has started rolling out incognito mode for Google Maps to Android devices.
The new mode was first announced four months ago at Google IO, and has now started to land on smartphones globally.
In this mode, users navigation history or searches will not be saved to the account and history will not reflect in the recommendations sections.
"When you turn on Incognito mode, your activity in Maps-like the places you search or get directions to won't be saved to your Google Account," Olivia T, Google Maps Community manager said in a statement recently.
"Turning on Incognito mode in Maps does not affect how your activity is used or saved by internet providers, other apps, voice search, and other Google services," she added.
Users with updated Preview Maps version 10.26 or above can access the feature by heading into the app, tapping their profile picture, then selecting "Turn on Incognito mode."


Meta tags are used within HTML to describe the web page. According to references, the < meta > tag provides "metadata" about the HTML document. Meta data is not displayed on the page, but can be viewed by browsers and other web services. The content of this tag is used by some search engines when it lists the page in the search results. Remember that the meta tag always goes in the  element and has no ending tag. The following is an example of meta tags used within HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title> My first web page </title> <meta name = "description" content = "This is my first page. The topic of discussion is HTML Tags...">
<meta charset = "utf-8">
"

...

The "name" and "content" words mentioned within the meta tag are called attributes and are required. The meta tag "<meta charset = "utf-8">" is used to specify the character encoding of the content. According to reference, most web pages will use this character encoding.
Header Tags
Header tags are used to surround the content that will be apart of a headline. Typically located at the top of the web page, the header tag  is placed between the HTML tag  and the Body tag  within the web page content. According to reference, the idea of the tag is to bring document structure and semantics to the arena of web development. Note that more than one header tag can be used within your HTML document. The following includes examples of using the header tag  and the
,
, etc...tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title> My first web page </title>
<meta name = "description" content ="This is my first page...">
<meta charset = "utf-8">

...

Header Tag

Another Header Tag

And...Another Header Tag

<h...

Headings are defined with the
 to
 tags,
 being the most important and
 being the least important. Note:
 to
 will determine how large to how small the font placed inside the tags will appear.

google.earth
namespace contains global functions that aid in the process of using the Earth API interfaces. For example, instantiation of Google Earth Browser Plug-in objects is done via the google.earth.createInstance
method and event handling can be accomplished via the google.earth.addEventListener
and google.earth.removeEventListener
methods. | bool google.earth.isSupported | ( | ) |
Whether or not the Google Earth Browser Plug-in and API are supported on the current browser and operating system.
| bool google.earth.isInstalled | ( | ) |
Whether or not the Google Earth Browser Plug-in is currently installed on the user's machine.
Note: if the plug-in is not installed, the user will be presented with a 'download' link upon calls to google.earth.createInstance().
| void google.earth.createInstance | ( | object | domNode, | |
| function | initCallback, | |||
| function | failureCallback, | |||
| [optional] object | options | |||
| ) |
Attempts to create an instance of the plugin under the given web browser HTML DOM node. Upon success, calls the function passed in as the initCallback argument. Upon failure, calls the function passed in as the failureCallback argument and displays an error message to the user in place of the plug-in object.
Note: The HTML DOM must be loaded before this function can be called. Common usage is to call this function upon the <body>
's load
event, or to use google.setOnLoadCallback
.
| domNode | Either the string ID of the HTML DOM element or the DOM element itself (usually a <div> ) that will contain the plug-in instance or error message. | |
| initCallback | A function that will be called with an instance of GEPlugin as the first parameter upon successful instantiation of the plugin. | |
| failureCallback | A function that will be called upon failure to instantiate the plugin. The user will also be shown a graphical error description page in place of the plugin. | |
| options | (optional) A JavaScript object literal (i.e, { option1: 'value1', option2: 'value2' } ) containing extra initialization options. The following options are recognized:
|
| void google.earth.addEventListener | ( | object | targetObject, | |
| string | eventID, | |||
| function | listenerCallback, | |||
| [optional] bool | useCapture | |||
| ) |
Attaches a listener to a given object for a specific event; when the event occurs on the object, the given callback is invoked.
| targetObject | The object on which to listen to the event. | |
| eventID | The event string (i.e. 'click', 'mouseover', 'frameend', etc.) identifying the event to listen for. See the individual class reference pages for available events. | |
| listenerCallback | A function that will be called with an instance of KmlEvent when the event occurs on the object. | |
| useCapture | (optional) Whether or not this listener should initiate capture. For more details on event capture and bubbling, see the relevant W3C DOM documentation. |
| void google.earth.removeEventListener | ( | object | targetObject, | |
| string | eventID, | |||
| function | listenerCallback, | |||
| [optional] bool | useCapture | |||
| ) |
Removes an event listener previously added using google.earth.addEventListener() from the event chain.
Note: You must pass in the exact same function object as was passed to addEventListener. If you are using an anonymous function callback, it will need to be refactored into its own variable.
| targetObject | The object on which to stop listening to the event. | |
| eventID | The event string (i.e. 'click', 'mouseover', 'frameend', etc.) identifying the event to stop listening for. | |
| listenerCallback | The function, originally passed to google.earth.addEventListener(), that should no longer be called when the event occurs. | |
| useCapture | (optional) Whether or not the originally added listener was set to initiate capture. |
| void google.earth.fetchKml | ( | GEPlugin | pluginInstance, | |
| string | url, | |||
| function | completionCallback | |||
| ) |
Retrieves and parses a KML or KMZ file at the given URL and returns an instance of a KmlFeature-derived class representing the parsed KML object model.
Note: This function does not display the feature on the Earth. See below for more information.
| pluginInstance | The instance of GEPlugin that will perform the URL fetching and parsing. | |
| url | The URL at which the KML or KMZ content is posted. This URL should serve either the KML or KMZ content type. | |
| completionCallback | A function that will be called with an instance of a KmlFeature-derived class as the first parameter upon successful fetching/parsing of the KML or KMZ content. If an error occurs, this function will be passed a null value. Note: In this function, you can display the loaded KML in Earth by calling ge.getFeatures().appendChild(object) , assuming 'ge' is the GEPlugin instance variable in the callback function's scope and 'object' is the name of the first parameter to your callback function. |
| void google.earth.executeBatch | ( | GEPlugin | pluginInstance, | |
| function | batchFunction | |||
| ) |
Efficiently executes an arbitrary, user-defined function (the batch function), minimizing the amount of overhead incurred during cross-process communication between the web browser and Google Earth Plugin. This method is useful for batching together a large set of calls to the Earth API, for example, a large number of consecutive calls to KmlCoordArray.pushLatLngAlt.
executeBatch(fn)
and fn()
besides execution performance. | pluginInstance | The instance of GEPlugin that batched API calls will be executed on. | |
| batchFunction | The function containing the code to be executed. |
| void google.earth.setLanguage | ( | string | languageCode | ) |
Sets the language to be used for new instances of the plugin. Needs to be called before google.earth.createInstance(). Affects road and border labels, the error message displayed when the plugin fails to load, as well as the language of the Terms of Use page linked from the plugin.
| languageCode | Supported language codes are listed in the Google Maps API Coverage document. Note that we often update the languages that we support, so this list may not be exhaustive. |

Cafe Drift Illusion
by Jonah Kagan
made with processing.js
Press the spacebar to change the order of the colors in every other row (and hence the direction of the illusory motion). You can also use the left/right arrow keys to move those rows horizontally.
What's Going On
This illusion is an attempt to combine the cafe wall and rotating snakes illusions. Since the tilt is caused by three elements, and the motion by four, both effects can coexist mdash; the four elements grouping together into two elements (dark and light) with the gray background as the third. So really there are five elements here.
Playing around with the directions of motion and the alignment of the rows, it is possible to create configurations which maximize motion and others which maximize tilt. Some configurations even create some of each effect (success!).
One configuration (the initial one when the page loads) creates a very odd effect. The entire image seems to look blurry. I'm not quite sure why this is happening. It must have something to do with the color interaction (or maybe just luminance), but I can't figure out exactly what about this exact configuration creates the effect.


Whats an easy way to stay safe online?
The very first way to stay safe online is to secure, tighten and never share any of your passwords unless it is 100% nessesary to do so.
The first easy way to stay safe online is to change all your passwords frequently (every 1- 2 months) and tighten it using tactics like this:
A combination of letters and numbers
Special charecters
Upper and lowercase letters
Doesn’t make sense as a word
Isn't a name.
A good tip is to only share images and information that your 100% happy having circulate around the internet because this is almost 100% what it is going to do. When you post something online it is never ever going to be actually deleted, all pictures and information is stored on servers.

PWARC Community Communications Plan Revised February 23, 2011 |
|
NOTE: This is the club's BASIC emergency plan only. Members who are involved in the Specialized Communications And Training (SCAT) Team should refer to their expanded written plan.
Basic Club Emergency Plan 1) Every member should strive to make back up power available for his station. 2) Every member should know how to program and use his/her radio. Practice, practice, practice! 3) Learn and practice using the Standard ITU Phoenietics
4) In the event of power failure, telephone outage, storms:
5) If the club's net is in session, you may check in when Net Control Station (NCS) requests check-ins. When checking into a net, keep transmissions short. Afterwards, do not transmit unless directed to do so by the NCS. The only exception to this rule is if you have emergency traffic for the net. 6) Plan Review

About me
I’m an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam in the Quantitative Economics section. I received my PhD in Statistics from Center for research in economics and statistics (CREST), Paris in December 2021: here are the manuscript and the slides.
I was supervised by Guillaume Lecué.
I have a strong background in high-dimensional geometry and robust machine learning. Having earned a Ph.D. in this field, my expertise lies in navigating the intricacies of statistical and computational complexities in high-dimensional tasks.
Over the years, I have transitioned from primarily theoretical work to exploring more concrete applications in the realm of economics. I have for instance studied the performance of standard estimators in non-IID settings with two-way fixed effects for trade data, and I have done work on measuring and understanding the role of search frictions in international trade. In these works I try to understand how to characterize the inherent "complexity" of a problem or a model.
With an interest in both theoretical and applied research, I continue to explore the intersection of Machine Learning, statistics, computation, and economics.
Work in progress

The golden beaches that stretch along the Orange County coastline are a national treasure and are not to be missed when visting.
Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach is famous for picturesque views and mansions right off the cliffs. Tv shows such as the Hills have
been filmed in Laguna and it is a favorite spot to relax for many celebrities. In Laguna Beach, you never know
who you'll run into.
Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach is also known as Surf City, USA. Home of the US Open of Surfing (which attracts millions of
viewers every August), Surf City is also a great spot to walk along the boardwalk or visit any of dozens of surf shops.
Newport Beach
Newport Beach is known for extravagant mansions and yaughts just as big as the house they're attached to. For those of
us who don't live in these mansions, it is popular to rent a stand-up paddle board and paddle through the bay.
Newport Beach also has its fair share of famous surf spots. The Wedge is known as one of the largest and most dangerous
waves in the world, and attracts thrill seekers from all over.


American midfielder Seymore joins Sligo Rovers
Liam Buckley says the 27-year-old has all the attributes to succeed in the League of Ireland.
by Ben BlakeSLIGO ROVERS HAVE signed American midfielder Will Seymore.
The 27-year-old arrives having most recently played in his homeland with USL Championship side Reno 1868.
He was with FC Cincinnati prior to that — where former Sligo midfielder Richie Ryan was a team-mate — but spent time on the books at Colchester United and Cambridge United as a youngster.
“It feels great to be here,” Seymore said. “This has been in the works for a while and I’m really excited now that it is done. I can’t wait to get started.
“I grew up playing English academies and moved to back to the US. Liam [Buckley]’s style of play and the way he wants to play attracted me here.
“He told me about the upsides of the club and the potential. He spoke about the things we could achieve and I like to win.
“One of the things I hope to bring is my mentality. Off the field I’m pretty easy going but on the field I’m agressive, determined and want to win at all costs.
I can’t wait to build a connection with my team-mates and start the season on the right foot.”
Bit O’Red boss Buckley added: “Will is someone I’ve tracked for a couple of years. I think he is equipped to do very well in this league. He fits exactly into how we want to play. His range of passing, and his overall ability in that area, is why we’ve brought him here.
“He is also a big, strong lad and he has done well in the US. We’ve done our due diligence on him. We spoke to a couple of contacts in the US.
“One was Richie Ryan who John Russell was in contact with. Richie and Will played together and Richie spoke about how he reads the game well and has all the attributes to do well for us.”

--- layout: post title: 'Flavors: 10 Code-Free Minutes to a Sexier Web Presence' date: 2009-11-30 21:35:39 -06:00 comments: true categories: posterous_id: 8128041 --- Great idea, maybe I should move to it.
The do-it-yourself website space is so crowded right now that it's amazing to see anyone launch a product and cut through the noise. Still, we were captivated by the simplicity and design of Flavors.me.  As of this evening non-designers will have a chance to revel in their newly found web sex appeal.
Flavors.me from Jack Zerby on Vimeo.
ReadWriteWeb spoke to co-founder Jonathan Marcus to get an early look at the service. The basic premise is that Flavors lets you produce a well-designed springboard to portfolio pieces, current work and profiles. Users add links, edit fonts and colors, and upload a background photo. Rather than fiddling with cascading style sheets or modifying blog templates, this service offers a fast and easy way to create an elegant web presence.
Under the banner of Hii Def Inc. internet incubator, brothers Jonathan and David Marcus and former Vimeo design lead Jack Zerby created Flavors as just one of three companies to launch in 2009. Prior to Flavors.me, the group produced online sneaker shop Superkix. As a hybrid of both Flavors and Superkix, the team will soon release an online storefront tool by the name of Goodsie.
Says Jonathan Marcus, " We wanted to sell Superkix t-shirts online but weren't satisfied with Yahoo Stores, Shopify or BigCartel and realized there were enough re-usable elements from Flavors to make it feasible to build in parallel."
While Superkix is an obvious revenue generator as a retail storefront, the group plans on offering a domain redirect feature to Flavors in mid-December as well as a yearly subscription fee after a 30-day trial. Upon launch, Goodsie will be available with a monthly subscription.
Says Marcus, "Both [services] will dramatically reduce the cost and complexity associated with maintaining a web presence. Any other monetization model such as advertising would introduce competing and distracting interests."
Users can test Flavors later this evening at flavors.me. In the meantime, you may want to check out the company's design gallery here. For those interested in a fuller feature set check out ReadWriteWeb's Tools for Codeless Website Creation.

@Crabby Paddy yeah you know , better worry about the 4 defunct projects you was promoting and holding millions of coins before getting another loan
There is still people waiting for the scam exchange to open up again so they can withdraw funds
Crabby Paddy18-Dec-19 01:21 AM
@mrtzmp3 as am I but I don’t have any control over that situation nor is there any solid evidence on which sides fault it is yet
richardt18-Dec-19 01:27 AM
@Markus I meant the deep bear market, when BTC went down to $3k
mrtzmp318-Dec-19 01:28 AM
No control over the situation , just facilitating 100% of OTC trades of this project , airdrop coins of personal stash ,, so I don't become some kind of megawhale'' , you are literally the head of project now that CEO has gone missing
@Crabby Paddy
Complete bull...  What does that mean?
If you meant, “he is not gone” am I safe to say you mean Fabien? If not gone, then why does everyone think he is?
mrtzmp318-Dec-19 02:03 AM
You did OTC everything zexo , our , dune 1% commission ....  Is it Monday next year or what
As you are only one with access to him
Get the f. Exchange back online bro seriously
Also build a community aka sucker fools in
I find it hard to believe guy with your balance , that I saw when you gave the airdrops , would consider even one second putting money in this obvious scam from the start(edited)
@Crabby Paddy
Crabby Paddy18-Dec-19 04:19 AM
Wanna see my accounting tax return this year haha
90k capital loss gxe
I am not in charge of the projects
I believed in it and I built the community yes
If it was successful or how you’d want it, you would not be roasting me now for trying to build the community up
I have not made a cent off this. Everyone has their views I still see potential and know of a few things in works. I’m not telling anyone to buy but I have done nothing wrong so please stop telling me to put the exchange up
Because I can’t do that
mrtzmp318-Dec-19 05:18 AM
Yes I want to see it .  And demand answers for Christ sakes , you cannot just shut down the exchange without notice , promise to clear the ,,fud '' and nothing for 3 weeks I mean comeon
As it looks now it's an exitscam unless proven otherwise
Not trying to roast you neither but you are the community manager or similar
There is no other to talk to because it's a scammy business without any real contacts
Mark8118-Dec-19 06:22 AM
Tradingview being played? Just before btc started to drop punch of bullish buying opportunities posted for kmd. Hopefully nobody fell for those.
When you're on downtrending --> dont buy!
 You say no TA here works. Just scroll up to Dec 5th and Dec 7th and you'll see that my TA was on point.
hyperDEX18-Dec-19 06:26 AM
TA works unless the whales dont want it to work
Bitfinger18-Dec-19 06:26 AM
Loads of manipulation on TV @Mark81, it turned into a shitshow years ago which is why I don't use the 'social' part of it anymore.
Beware of your attitude towards TA, it will only prevent you from learning. I thought TA was bs and used to call TV Tardingview and proceeded to watch BTC fall from $800 to $250. That's when I decided I needed to understand markets and TA and after years of work I know for myself that it works.
Just remember there are always unknown unknowns... the things you don't know, you dont know
Mark8118-Dec-19 06:42 AM
I know that TA works. I think that right now only bitcoin matters and it is affecting all. Prices are getting now very low. It still doesn't mean that they cant go lower from here. I am saying stuff of TV just that i know there are people that are throwing money for some giving "hope" for winning trade. I have had seen my kmd account go over 1 million dollar and didnt do anything to it. I cashed out my litecoin position back then to get my dream of paid mortage fullfill anf it did. Since then I've been trying to grow my kmd position.  It was directed at @hyperDEX and the many others who always have some unfounded reason to discount TA and talk of 'meme lines', manipulation, whales etc. just because it's easier than actually trying to understand.

this attitude is very dangerous.
who in the world can judge moral standards?
market does not compensate by moral standards.
therefore, please get rid of the folly of using ethical standards in the market economy.

Conservative estimate of the bear flag ends at 45c which coincides with support going back to Nov '18. I'll be looking for a bounce there, although it is already starting to show some bullish divergence on the 4hr.

2019 wasn't the year to profit, but to accumulate
In 2020 or 2021, people are gonna look back and say "shit, why didn't I buy more?"
Cryptoon18-Dec-19 05:47 PM
That’s what I keep telling myself too
No but seriously, you are right 2020 perfect storm

Kmd widespread adoption
Jl777 president of the world
jspook1618-Dec-19 05:49 PM
Where do you see kmd being adopted?
polycryptoblog18-Dec-19 06:06 PM
There has been a marked increase in calls for free integration and collaboration . It definitely does seem that people are warming up to komodo from the bizdev side at least.

@jspook16 kmd is an unicorn in progress

richardt18-Dec-19 07:02 PM
It's just like anyone who experienced the 2013 and 2017 bull market. Lots of regret of not accumulating more beforehand
CoinKing8818-Dec-19 07:27 PM
Lets say KMD is a unicorn, at some point they would want to structure the project into a company structure. KMD is a utility token so we won't have any equity in that company, we have a right to use the product KMD. I would be interested to know what the plans in that area are for lets say the next 10 years. Any @Team Admin can elaborate on that? 1. How will the value for the KMD be preserved? For example: if the team decides to start a company and launch KMD2 and build their company on that we could end up with a lot of useless tokens (like Ripple did with XRAPID). 2. If a company structure is chosen will KMD hodlers get a piece of equity or will they be able to buy a piece based on being a KMD hodler? Me personally i would be more interested in buying equity shares instead of buying KMD utility coins.
jl777c18-Dec-19 07:51 PM
you make some very incorrect assumptions.
i would NEVER support any such attempt to takeover KMD. period. if you doubt this, not sure how i can convince you. maybe the fact that i cannot own any such company shares gives it a financial incentive that you can understand. but it is far more than just the financial aspects. it would break the trust of everybody that has KMD. over the years from NXT assets, SuperNET, BTCD, i have always done my best to make sure the people who supported projects of mine are protected against dilution and certainly against theft.
the place for companies is to build useful services and products using KMD. and already there are such companies that exist, with more to come. each of these are independent and many will have opportunities to invest in them. so there already are companies in the ecosystem.(edited)

CoinKing8818-Dec-19 08:14 PM
I was not saying that you would, i was just thinking about some scenario's for the future. If KMD turns into a Amazon big company (think big :)) lots of things COULD happen. The fact that i only hodl KMD, DEX and BTC shows i got big faith in you and the other team members.(edited)
jspook1618-Dec-19 08:14 PM
Jl77u does protect his supporters. That's 100% true
Markus18-Dec-19 08:21 PM
kmd is not a company

richardt18-Dec-19 08:57 PM
If I'm not mistaken, BTC and ETH aren't companies either, correct?
So cant really think of KMD as a company
CoinKing8818-Dec-19 10:58 PM
BTC making some serious moves today
