Memoirs of a Geisha
"if you aren't the women I think you are then this isn't the world I thought it was"
Memoirs of a Geisha
Our protagonist Chiyo , a 11 year old girl, is engulfed by a wave and thrown into an entirely different world in the prime of her childhood. The story begins in yoroido where Chiyo is a poor fisherman's daughter.
When Chiyo is sold to an okiya (house for Geisha)in Gion she is expected to learn the arts of becoming a Geisha and pay back her debts including the money the okiya paid to buy her, soon earn for the okiya.
A Geisha spends her time mastering the art of conversing and applying the correct strategy to become associated with a Danna ( a man who pays for the Geisha's company).She spends hours trying to perfect her makeup and her skills in various artforms and Tea ceromonies.
Our visual senses are awakened by the stunning discriptions of every kimono Chiyo ever wore or saw, which are so important in understanding the culture.
The author has described the culture of Gion with such detail and intricacy. we can almost hear the high pitched laughter of Geisha and their fast chatter.
Throughout my read , I was accompanied by a feeling of indignation. Through Chiyo's illuminating desrciptions of Kimonos, the art of applying makeup, the various stages of apprenticeship before one gains the status of Geisha and the flattering admirers , the hurdles a Geisha had to face to gain perfection,daily remarks thrown at them and the fact that some of them were sold into the career,certainly fueled my feminism

Here you can find some of the projects I have created or am currently developing. The projects are divided into the following categories, based on their interface:
Thoughtwave is a blogging platform, allowing users to sign up and create new post, or "Thoughts" and comment on the thoughts of others. It was built using ASP.NET Core.
Live Demo GithubThe Image Gallery is a SPA app built with an Angular front-end that works with a Node/Express API connected to a MongoDB database. It allows users to sign up, comment, and like other users linked images. Image uploading is a planned feature.
Live Demo GithubChattrbox is a chat room app built on Socket.io, jQuery, Express and Node. It allows users to choose a screen name and chat room, then dynamically adds them into that room or creates it if it does not exist. No login or registration is required.
Live Demo GithubCoder Tutorials is a platform for providing tutorials on coding and software development to others using Markdown. It was built using Node, Express, and MongoDB.
Live Demo GithubThis is one of the first full static web sites I made, a website for my fathers local Austin blues band.
Live Demo GithubThe game allows a single player to play against the virtual dealer and make bets with their starting balance of $1,000. The game ends when the player either loses all of their money or decides to cash in (and close the application).
The game allows a single player to play against the virtual dealer and make bets with their starting balance of $1,000. The game ends when the player either loses all of their money or decides to cash in (and close the application).
Rock-paper-scissors is a zero-sum hand game usually played between two people, in which each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with an outstretched hand. These shapes are "rock" (a fist), "paper" (a flat hand), and "scissors" (a fist with the index and middle fingers together forming a V). In this version, the player plays against a virtual ooponent that makes a random selection from the three playabale shapes.
This game involves a number of players. Each player is given a random word, but one player is given a synonym of that word instead.The players must then ask each other questions related to their word, and at the end of the round make a guess as to which player is "The Spy". The game ends and the players win if they correctly guess the Spy. If the Spy survives all round, then they are the only winner.
This is a poker hands comparison tool that automatically generates two random poker hands, compares them, and decalres which one would win that round.
This project is a command-line utility for comparing the speed of popular sorting algorithms. The user is prompted to select a number, which determines the algorithm that will be used to sort a very large array of numbers. The user can also select the size of the array to be sorted and the range of numbers to include. The utility times this process, determines if the array is indeed sorted, and outputs the result to the console. It also prints the sorted result to a standard text file.

This code is changing rapidly. Always get the latest verions from https://github.com/joearms/SEBG
This is a minimal code example. First you need an Erlang handler, for example, demo1.erl which is as follows:
-module(demo1). -export([start/1]). start(Pid) -> Pid ! {eval, "document.body.innerHTML='';"}, Pid ! {eval, "document.body.style.backgroundColor='#eeffaa';"}, Pid ! {eval, "document.body.innerHTML+='
Hello World
'"}, event_loop(Pid). event_loop(Pid) -> receive Any -> io:format("??event loop:~p~n",[Any]), event_loop(Pid) end.
Then you need to some browser code to launch the example. A minimal code fragment to launch the example is:
 <a href="#" onclick="start_session('ws://<IP_ADDRESS>:1234/connect/demo1')">demo1run the above code
Type make
Once you have a server running, click on any of the links below:
Writing a handler is trivial. Use the following pattern:
-module(myhandler). -export([start/1]). start(Pid) -> init(Pid), loop(Pid). loop(Pid) -> receive {browser, N, Str} -> ... loop(Pid) end.
Then launch the handler by from the browser by evaluating the javascript command start_session('ws://<IP_ADDRESS>:1234/connect/myhandler') The start_session command is defined in generic.js
In the above code Pid is a process that represents the brower.
Pid ! {send, Msg} sends Msg to the browser. Msg must contain a valid Javascript expression which is evaluated in the browser.
Javascript code executing in the browser can evaluate the Javascript function send(Str) this will emerge as a {browser,N,Str} message in the handler. N is a sequence number that increases by one for every message sent.
Using web sockets and SVG and a bit of Javascript it is pretty easy to make an impressive GUI in a a few hundred lines of code.
This example contains a complete web server, which supports web-sockets and shows how to interface web-sockets with jquery and the Raphael SVG javascript library. Using this we make a simple interactive graphics demo program.
Note: This is known to work with Google Chrome and Safari browsers on Mac OS-X and with Chromium on Ubuntu. It does not work with Firefox. Other browsers are untested
The code here is also intended an an intermediate example for new Erlang programmers to study and extend. The code is entirely self-contained, there are no dependence on any other modules, so you don't need to know about OTP applications or generic servers or anything. As such it is suitable for a beginner and for self-study.
I have also included a number of suggestions for small projects based on this code. We often get questions asking for suggestions for projects that are suitable for learning Erlang. I have added a list of possible projects based on this code at the end of this page.
If you are running on mac os-x then all you have to do is type make. On other platforms start erlang, give the command segb:start() in the shell. Then view the page http://localhost:1234/index.html in your browser.
For a minimal example see http://localhost:1234/generic.html
Actually what gets pushed is a fragment of Javascript. The Javascript in the browser just waits for a Javascript fragment, evaluates it, then waits for the next fragment. It's very easy to understated.
The server itself is a small 300 line program that communicates with a web socket. Once a web socket has been opened the web server spawns a handler process to communicate with the web socket and turns itself into a web socket middleman.
The handler process sends javascript expression to the web socket. At the client end of the web socket (ie in the server) all we do is a javascript eval of the data received from the web socket. The server acts as a middle man taking cars or the framing protocol between the browser and the server.
The client page in the server in in a sense "universal." All it has is the ability to execute code, which comes in the form of javascript messages.
In practise this is somewhat inconvenient. So instead of being entire universal and only opening a socket and eval'ing data it receives. The client does a few more thing. It turns the web page red if the socket connection is broken, and it preloads the jquery. jquery is so useful that I consider it to almost be a part of javascriopt.
The handler process svg_demo.erl shows how to communicate with the browser. The first thing svg_demo.erl does, is to send a request to load the Javascript library raphael-min.js. Raphael is a well documented javascript SVG library.
Having loaded Raphael. I create a draggable circle, and a clickable blue box. Nothing fancy. I deliberately don't want to make the example too complicated. You should at this stage be able to read and understand svg_demo.erl and sebg.erl in their entirely.
Using websockets, we can create a direct message passing channel between Erlang and a web server. Once the channel is established we can asynchronous messages between the an Erlang process and a browser window. Sending these message has a tidy overhead of 2 bytes per message.
This demo has only two Erlang modules. sebg.erl and svg_demo.erl. The example is completely self-contain, so makes no use of any Erlang libaries at all.
The work flow is:
function start_session(mod){ websocket = new WebSocket(wsUri); websocket.onopen = function(evt) { onOpen(evt, mod) }; websocket.onclose = function(evt) { onClose(evt) }; websocket.onmessage = function(evt) { onMessage(evt) }; websocket.onerror = function(evt) { onError(evt) }; return(false); } function onOpen(evt, mod) { websocket.send("start:" + mod + ":"); } function onClose(evt) { $("body").css({'background-color':'red'}); } function onMessage(evt) { { eval(evt.data); }
The directory clipper contains a plugin for goole chrome that talks to the web server. To install this see Readme.
Once installed you can select any region of the current web page you are browsing by dragging the mouse over the interesting region. Then click on the extension icon. A popup menu appears. You can add a few comments, click on save and a message is sent to a little erlang server sebg.erl the server. The date extracted from the webpage is put into a snippet file for future analysis.
Next steps:
We need better javascript to extract information on the web page make a pluging for firefox etc.
A large amount of assistance is needed here.
Here are few suggestions for improvements and exercises.
Stare at the code for the function etop_collect/2 in the module observer_backend.erl which you will find in the standard distribution.
Note: cut pates and minimise the code you need from the library, don't just call the library cut and paste when you need and understand every line.

It's a trap!" Gil said. He put his hand up to stop Zed. They were on a track that ran across a hill. Gil had spotted flat grass, past the next bend. "It's just grass," Zed said. "We can step on it." But Gil got a rock. He flung it on the grass. The rock fell into a pit. The grass had hidden the pit. It was a trap!

Thai clerk charged with murder after shooting gunman in court
BANGKOK: A legal clerk who ended a bloody Thai courtroom shooting by grabbing a firearm and killing the gunman has been arrested and charged with murder, police said Thursday (Nov 14).
Three people - two lawyers and the gunman - were shot dead at the Chanthaburi courthouse in eastern Thailand on Tuesday during a hearing over a drawn-out land dispute.
READ: Two lawyers, gunman killed in Thai courtroom shootout: Police
Police say Thanakorn Theeravarodom, a young paralegal working with the lawyers, grabbed the gun from a guard and shot the assailant, a retired police major general who was one of the litigants in the case.
The clerk was charged with "intentional killing", Khomsorn Mabumrung, commander of Chanthaburi provincial city police, told AFP.
"He said it's self-defence."
Authorities said this week that the two sides in the case had been in court for more than 10 years arguing over a large plot of land.
Thailand has high rates of gun ownership and petty personal disputes and romantic and business rivalries are often resolved with firearms.
But a series of courthouse shootings in Thailand have exposed flaws in the legal system's security.
More than a week ago three drug suspects - including an American - shot and stabbed their way out of a court in the seaside town of Pattaya before being tracked down.
Early last month a Thai judge in the insurgency-battered south shot himself in the chest in front of a packed court after acquitting several murder suspects and decrying the judicial system.

I created this website: Gamer's Ripple. The reason being, that I had to create a website for my Web design course. I decided on this theme because I have always been able to play videogames throughout my entire life and it is something which I have most knowledge on. After pondering on what to do, I came to that conclusion.
I decided on what I chose as my first post, because it is about a game that came out recently and I wanted people to know about it and about how I played and completed the game. It took quite a while but I'd say "it was worth it". The game is titled "Death Stranding", made by Kojima Studios' Hideo Kojima. A game developer that has worked on so many titles I've played throughout my life so I can say for certain that I was going to get this game at any point.

About Josh
Self portrait of me and my son. Note that my son is picking his nose.
I’m a technology enthusiast and entrepreneur living in Austin, TX with my girlfriend Stefania and two children. I’m big into music, photography, cars and outdoor activities.
Current Work
I have been building technologies to help empower consumers for over a decade. I’m a software developer turned entrepreneur and founded 3 companies with one of them being acquired by a larger corporation. Over the past five years I’ve specialized in developing mobile products with much of my work on Apple’s iOS platform.
I am Director of Product Management for Macheen.
I am also a mentor at Capital Factory an early stage startup accelerator in Austin like TechStars or Y-Combinator.
Earlier Work
Prior to Macheen, I worked for YouSendIt, a company that acquired my startup Zosh in December 2010. I led product management for their mobile products and in six months delivered a successful product to market which became the highlight of a multi-product launch.
Before YouSendIt I worked at Zosh a startup I co-founded that lets you fill, sign and return documents as PDF’s via your mobile phone. I launched the product at DEMO Spring 2010 where I won a DEMOgod award for my presentation which included smashing a fax machine with a baseball bat.
Prior to Zosh I was CEO of Ideal Science a software company I founded in early 1998 which developed scalable Bulletin Board software used by Microsoft on their xBox gaming properties (most famously Bungie Studios which produced Halo, Halo2 and Halo3.) Other notable customers include Hachette Filipacchi Media, CNN, and the FBI.
Before Ideal Science, I worked as a software engineer at Compaq Computer Corporation. I was in charge of developing test software for controller chips in notebook computers as well as training the engineers who used my software.
I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I received a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.

Blog Details
I’m using Jekyll to generate this blog. Hosting is by Heroku which I recently switched to. I’m also using Redis as a temp data store for my feed data and Ohm for inserting objects into the Redis key store.
Lastly I’m using Feedzirra to retrieve and parse my RSS feeds. All of this is open source software which is state of the art and can scale pretty easily. (Not that I’ll ever get that kind of traffic to this blog.)
I’ve only recently started working with these technologies, so the blog could be a bit wonky.
Update
I’m still using Jekyll to power the blog, but the site is now totally static. I’m grabbing my Delicious feeds and Embedly links at compile time to generate what appears to be dynamic content, but is actually just generated static content.
I’ve been able to accelerate my site using Cloud Flare a really cool service that sits between my site and the Internet. In addition to security, Cloud Flare also adds features and performance. For example, if you highlight any word on the site, you get a special lookup that tells you more about that word.
Powered by Octopress a static blogging package built around Jekyll and running on Heroku.

loss_pendulum.m
Summary: Pendulum loss function; the loss is , where and is the squared difference between the actual and desired position of the tip of the pendulum. The mean and the variance of the loss are computed by averaging over the Gaussian distribution of the state with mean and covariance matrix . Derivatives of these quantities are computed when desired.
function [L, dLdm, dLds, S2] = loss_pendulum(cost, m, s)
Input arguments:
cost cost structure .p lengths of the pendulum [1 x 1 ] .width array of widths of the cost (summed together) .expl (optional) exploration parameter .angle (optional) array of angle indices .target target state [D x 1 ] m mean of state distribution [D x 1 ] s covariance matrix for the state distribution [D x D ]
Output arguments:
L expected cost [1 x 1 ] dLdm derivative of expected cost wrt. state mean vector [1 x D ] dLds derivative of expected cost wrt. state covariance matrix [1 x D^2] S2 variance of cost [1 x 1 ]

SSMSE allows existing SS models to be used as the basis for an OM. These OMs are used in the MSE framework provided by SSMSE to evaluate the implications of management actions on a population given uncertainty.


Aaradhya Bachchan's birthday bash pictures: Shah Rukh, Gauri with Abram, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia with their kids, Karan Johar with Yash and Roohi and other celebs at the lavish party
by TIMESOFINDIA.COMThe youngest of Bachchans, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan celebrates her eighth birthday today. The entire family is all geared up to celebrate their little munchkin's special day and have organized a nice birthday bash at Juhu.
Of late, the eldest of Bachchans organized a lavish Diwali bash and spent a relaxed birthday this year. However, that's not the case with Aaradhya, as we all know the Bachchans never fail to throw a big birthday bash for their favorite kid, Aaradhya, and like last year, this year is surely going to be one happening night.
Last year, the Bachchan family, hosted a unicorn-themed party for their little munchkin. And we are sure this year too there is something interesting stored in for the birthday girl and the tinsel town to witness. Here we bring you pictures of celebs and kids who attended the Aaradhya Bachchan's big birthday bash this year.
So far, celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan along with their younger kid Abram had made a stylish entry to the bash. Joining them, were KJo's twin kids Yash and Roohi. Riteish Deshmukh along with wife Genelia and kids too made it to the bash.

Woost is a collaboration tool that aims to be simpler and more powerful thanks to a new structuring paradigm. Learn about the technical details.
Think: The flexibility of Excel meets collaboration and communication.
Woost is a simple alternative to: Excel and E-Mail. Slack and Trello.
It supports basic features like chats, tasks and kanban boards, but is not limited to static or predefined workflows.
Our vision is to scale communication and collaboration to an arbitrary number of participants while maintaining perfect overview. Imagine 100.000 active users in the same chat. Or in a Kanban board. This is clearly conceptually unfeasible with the tools of today. Instead we form hierarchies of people and develop processes to communicate up and down. The inefficient communication through these hierarchies wastes a lot of time and money. A solution to this problem would be a breakthrough for large organizations, as well as a paradigm shift in E-Democracy, as it would allow for large-scale participation without limiting the options to voting.
For Woost to be as simple and powerful as possible, we map orthogonal (independent) concepts like information structuring, process stages, messaging, versioning and collaborative editing to a graph (network) structure. Vertices represent pieces of information, while edges (connections) represent the semantic interaction between different information pieces. This allows to combine different concepts arbitrarily to create individual workflows that scale with the requirements of the team.
Like in the human brain, conversations and concepts are not stored chronologically, but with topic-based associations. There would be no more searching in a chat history, but more of an exploration of a highly structured dynamic information network.
To structure information in the graph, we fused the concepts of folder-hierarchies and tagging to eliminate both of their trade-offs. It can be understood as "One file can live in multiple folders".

Young George Willard got out of bed at four in the morning. It was April and the young tree leaves were just coming out of their buds. The trees along the residence streets in Winesburg are maple and the seeds are winged. When the wind blows they whirl crazily about, filling the air and making a carpet underfoot.
George came downstairs into the hotel office carrying a brown leather bag. His trunk was packed for departure. Since two o'clock he had been awake thinking of the journey he was about to take and wondering what he would find at the end of his journey. The boy who slept in the hotel office lay on a cot by the door. His mouth was open and he snored lustily. George crept past the cot and went out into the silent deserted main street. The east was pink with the dawn and long streaks of light climbed into the sky where a few stars still shone.
Beyond the last house on Trunion Pike in Winesburg there is a great stretch of open fields. The fields are owned by farmers who live in town and drive homeward at evening along Trunion Pike in light creaking wagons. In the fields are planted berries and small fruits. In the late afternoon in the hot summers when the road and the fields are covered with dust, a smoky haze lies over the great flat basin of land. To look across it is like looking out across the sea. In the spring when the land is green the effect is somewhat different. The land becomes a wide green billiard table on which tiny human insects toil up and down.
All through his boyhood and young manhood George Willard had been in the habit of walking on Trunion Pike. He had been in the midst of the great open place on winter nights when it was covered with snow and only the moon looked down at him; he had been there in the fall when bleak winds blew and on summer evenings when the air vibrated with the song of insects. On the April morning he wanted to go there again, to walk again in the silence. He did walk to where the road dipped down by a little stream two miles from town and then turned and walked silently back again. When he got to Main Street clerks were sweeping the sidewalks before the stores. "Hey, you George. How does it feel to be going away?" they asked.
The westbound train leaves Winesburg at seven forty–five in the morning. Tom Little is conductor. His train runs from Cleveland to where it connects with a great trunk line railroad with terminals in Chicago and New York. Tom has what in railroad circles is called an "easy run." Every evening he returns to his family. In the fall and spring he spends his Sundays fishing in Lake Erie. He has a round red face and small blue eyes. He knows the people in the towns along his railroad better than a city man knows the people who live in his apartment building.
George came down the little incline from the New Willard House at seven o'clock. Tom Willard carried his bag. The son had become taller than the father.
On the station platform everyone shook the young man's hand.  Then they talked of their own affairs. Even Will Henderson, who was lazy and often slept until nine, had got out of bed. George was embarrassed. Gertrude Wilmot, a tall thin woman of fifty who worked in the Winesburg post office, came along the station platform. She had never before paid any attention to George. Now she stopped and put out her hand. In two words she voiced what everyone felt. "Good luck," she said sharply and then turning went on her way.
When the train came into the station George felt relieved. He scampered hurriedly aboard. Helen White came running along Main Street hoping to have a parting word with him, but he had found a seat and did not see her. When the train started Tom Little punched his ticket, grinned and, although he knew George well and knew on what adventure he was just setting out, made no comment. Tom had seen a thousand George Willards go out of their towns to the city. It was a commonplace enough incident with him. In the smoking car there was a man who had just invited Tom to go on a fishing trip to Sandusky Bay. He wanted to accept the invitation and talk over details.
George glanced up and down the car to be sure no one was looking, then took out his pocket–book and counted his money. His mind was occupied with a desire not to appear green. Almost the last words his father had said to him concerned the matter of his behavior when he got to the city. "Be a sharp one," Tom Willard had said. "Keep your eyes on your money. Be awake. That's the ticket.
After George counted his money he looked out of the window and was surprised to see that the train was still in Winesburg.
The young man, going out of his town to meet the adventure of life, began to think but he did not think of anything very big or dramatic. Things like his mother's death, his departure from Winesburg, the uncertainty of his future life in the city, the serious and larger aspects of his life did not come into his mind.
He thought of little things—Turk Smollet wheeling boards through the main street of his town in the morning, a tall woman, beautifully gowned, who had once stayed overnight at his father's hotel, Butch Wheeler the lamp lighter of Winesburg hurrying through the streets on a summer evening and holding a torch in his hand, Helen White standing by a window in the Winesburg post office and putting a stamp on an envelope.
The young man's mind was carried away by his growing passion for dreams. One looking at him would not have thought him particularly sharp.  He stayed that way for a long time and when he aroused himself and again looked out of the car window the town of Winesburg had disappeared and his life there had become but a background on which to paint the dreams of his manhood.
