Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com/film/ Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott
Quirky, smart and extremely entertaining, "Out of Sight" establishes its tone right from the opening scene. Bank robber Jack Foley (George Clooney) ambles up to a teller and lays out the score with casually authoritative inflection. Gesturing towards a total stranger applying for a loan at a nearby desk, he quietly states that the man is his partner who, if instructions are not followed to the letter, will shoot the bank officer. As the trembling employee gathers the cash, Foley notices her near-panic and says, with genuine concern in his voice, "Your first time being robbed? Well, you're doing great." After calming the young woman and collecting his bounty, he strolls out to the parking lot under the sunny Florida sky to make his escape, only to discover that his car won't start. 30 seconds later, he's under arrest.
"Out of Sight" is the first film based on an Elmore Leonard novel that truly captures the author's unique style. "Get Shorty" was lively fun, but overly glib. While "Jackie Brown" was a thoughtful, exceptionally well done character study, the production suffered from a detached, logy feel. In the hands of "sex, lies & videotape" director Steven Soderbergh, "Out of Sight" delivers the goods, adroitly mixing romance, violence and humor without compromising its characters or oversimplifying the story. Leonard writes in nonjudgmental fashion about oddly endearing lowlifes.  Soderbergh understands all of that, which is why the film works so well.
The story follows Jack to prison, where he quickly plots his escape. Of course, the break-out doesn't go as planned, thanks to the unexpected appearance of federal marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). Jack's accomplice Buddy (Ving Rhames), scrambling to protect his friend, stuffs Jack and Karen into a car trunk for the getaway run, and sparks fly between the pair. After Buddy and Jack release her and head for Detroit, planning the proverbial "one last scam," Karen aggressively pursues Jack, although it's obvious that she's not entirely sure what she'll do if she catches him.
While "Out of Sight" boasts a terrific cast, the spotlight rarely moves far from George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, who deliver knockout performances. Any doubts over whether Clooney can carry a film are removed here, as he deftly creates a charismatic, delightfully complicated scoundrel. Short sighted but fast on his feet, Jack presents himself with a beguiling assurance that never seems cocky. He's incredibly likable, even while doing awful things.
Speaking of movie stars, Jennifer Lopez becomes a full-fledged one here as well, with a breakthrough performance as the perceptive, sexy and very conflicted federal marshal. Make no mistake, Karen Sisco is an effective cop, but she keeps finding herself drawn to the wrong men. Early in the film, her father (an uncharacteristically tender Dennis Farina) gently offers counsel on her personal life, all the while knowing that his resolute daughter must find her own way, however often she may stumble.
And stumble she will, because this is an Elmore Leonard story, where the good guys are usually bad guys and everybody screws up. Sometimes they even realize the futility of their grandiose plans, although that never seems to slow them down. In one of the most telling scenes, Buddy talks about living the good life after they pull off their risky plan and Jack quietly says "You know anybody who has done the big score and gone on to live the good life?"
The characters in "Out of Sight" may be sad sacks, but boy, are they fun to watch. Along with the always wonderful Rhames and Farina, the film boasts a stellar supporting cast including Albert Brooks (as a Michael Milken type), Don Cheadle from "Boogie Nights," "That Thing You Do's" Steve Zahn, plus uncredited appearances from Michael Keaton, reprising his "Jackie Brown" role as FBI agent Ray Nicolet, and Samuel L. Jackson. Despite the large cast, every character is fully developed and their stories weave in and out, aided by a loping, low key jazz score that accents the film's non-linear flow.
It's all very complicated, but attentive viewers can easily keep up, and even if you do get lost, that's okay, because character is far more important than plot in "Out of Sight." The film has a number of intricate, beautifully staged set pieces, but even those dandy action scenes are character driven. The deliciously loopy "Out of Sight" takes a whacked look at the human condition, painting life as a series of misguided choices, a viewpoint that would be depressing if it wasn't so damned funny.

LEGALLY Blonde: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME
by Prof. Joyce Saltalamachia
I decided to see Legally
Blonde last summer because it had three big things going
for it: it had gotten universally positive reviews; it was a
goofy comedy which automatically made it good summer fare; and
it was about law school. I didn't expect, or want, anything
of substance, so was not disappointed. In fact, it was generally
so ridiculous that the scenes that might have annoyed me (She
studied really hard for a week and got near perfect LSATs. Yeah,
sure. She won a murder trial as a first-year student. Oh, really?),
but these occurrences fit right in with the overall wackiness
of the story. It was just a movie after all.
I was gratified, however, to
see that one of the law professors portrayed was a woman. This
was definitely a step in the right direction and indicated a
certain amount of gender sensitivity, plus a nod to the very
real fact that a lot of law professors actually are women. In
fact, Prof. Stromwell taught Elle's very first class, in what
I thought was an hilarious parody of the popular notion of how
a typical law school class is conducted. At this class, she
strides in and writes on the board, "Law is reason free
from passion." "Law is reason free from passion,"
she intones. "Who said this?" Anyone familiar with
a modern law school class will immediately see the humor in this.
First, instead of being written on the board the quote would
actually be part of a PowerPoint presentation, and second, we're
usually concerned with more earthly matters on the first day,
like "Who's bought the book," "Who's read the
assignment" and so on.
Back to the movie. As Stromwell
glares at the terrified students one timidly raises his hand.
"Aristotle?" he asks. "Are you sure of this?"
she growls. "Yes."  She ups the ante. "Yes" again, but very
slowly. "Would you bet his life on it?" and
she clunks a nearby student on the head with a pointer, clearly
indicating that she would be fully prepared to take him as a
human sacrifice if Aristotle is wrong. The tension is high and
the first student finally breaks down. Stromwell ultimately
concedes that Aristotle had made the statement, and she moves
on to torture another hapless victim.
Where to start? In a real
class you would be so delighted to have a volunteer tackle a
question not directly related to the reading that you would likely
grovel in gratitude. The fact that the answer was correct would
be almost too much to bear. The message in law schools nowadays
is to be more nurturing to the students, so that the old intimidation
game, if it ever existed, is long gone. "Look to the left
of you, look to the right of you..." is a dim memory. Course
evaluation forms regularly ask students to rate the "respectfulness"
of the teacher. And to actually strike a student, with
a pointer or otherwise, would be a one-way ticket to TIAA-CREF-
land.
All these changes were badly
needed and have done much to improve the atmosphere and civility
of legal education, so it amused me to see the old stereotypes
being still presented in this film. Perhaps, I thought, I could
have some fun with this in the fall when I meet with my first
year Torts class. Like many schools, we see our new students
first in an orientation session, at which time we introduce ourselves
and our subjects before the actual course work starts in earnest.
Surely most of the students would have seen the movie already
and would recall this classroom scene. I fancied myself a Professor
Stromwell type (of a certain age, professional appearance, commanding
presence) so I thought that the joke would go over well. The
students would recognize the parody and they would see that I
was a with-it sort of person who goes to goofy summer movies
just like they do. Someone with a sense of humor who, in spite
of being older than most of their parents, is actually pretty
cool. After all, I went to Berkeley. In the Sixties.
I'm really nearly one of them, and they should recognize this
right away.
Orientation day came and I
could hardly wait for class and the opportunity to play the joke
and get the class started off on a humorous, nurturing footing.
I strode into class to be greeted by 45 apprehensive stares.
"Law is reason free from passion" I wrote on the board.
"Who said this?" I asked. Silence. "Who knows
who said this?" I repeated. No volunteers and the 45 stares
were starting to turn glassy. "Anyone want to take a guess
who said this? Anyone think Aristotle said this?" By now
I was desperate just to get myself out of this hole. "Didn't
any of you see 'Legally Blonde' over the summer?"
Forty-five heads shake "no." "This was a movie
about law school," I'm ranting by now. "Weren't any
of you even curious to see how law school is portrayed in the
movies?" Apparently the answer was still "no,"
since not a single one of them had thought it worth the time
and money to see one of the more popular movies of the summer
in spite of the fact that they were all about to become law students
themselves. I finally assigned them to see the movie over the
weekend and moved on to the topic of Torts, broken in spirit.
My joke had fallen flat. Not only did they not see me as someone
who was cool, they all clearly thought I was a lunatic.
Let me suggest a few things
that we can learn about law and popular culture from this episode.
First, we as law professors don't have the slightest idea what
"popular culture" actually is and we are only fooling
ourselves if we do. Second, we are clueless about what our students
like to do, watch, listen to, drink, think about, etc. If we
try to "relate" to them, we make ourselves look and
feel ridiculous. They may occasionally condescend to try to
relate to us ("Please tell us again about seeing the Beatles
in Shea Stadium, Professor.") but we have to recognize this
as blatant pandering. They want us to be teachers. They want
the roles clearly defined and delimited. Law school is one thing,
"their" movies, television, music are other things
entirely different.
I am sure anyone reading this
is practically frothing at the mouth by now. After all, it is
posted on a web site designed by law professors devoted to law
and popular culture. And I am sure that every one can supply
me with many fine examples of how you use popular culture in
your classes. Certainly, popular culture can be a useful tool
for the academic study of law. But as law professors we are
probably in the worst position of any profession to recognize
what is "popular" and what is "culture."
It isn't possible to find legal relevance in every episode of
Ally McBeal and our students are watching MTV and BattleBots
anyway. If you use the word cool you probably aren't.
In the end, it's only a movie.

Alpacas are better than llamas!
The alpacalypse is coming!
Alpaca bag for lunch today.
Alpacas rule the world. If you don't agree, you're just jealous.
Have you heard of alpacas? They are the cutest, fuzziest, warmest, most awesome creatures in the world! Llamas are losers. Alpacas are winners. I love alpacas. They are awesome! I have a few things you should consider when comparing alpacas to llamas.
- Alpacas were bred for their wool, and llamas were bred to be pack animals.
- Alpacas are nicer than llamas, and are domesticated creatures. Llamas, on the other hand, are a bit more on the wild side.

Understanding > knowing
Getting an answer is very different from knowing WHY
we get this answer.
Understanding statistics implies understanding the
underlying process leading to the answer we get.
Motivation for this class
What we teach is largely the technical machinery of numerical approximations based on the normal
distribution and its many subsidiary cogs.
This machinery was once necessary, because
the conceptually simpler alternative based on permutations was computationally beyond our reach [...]
Before computers statisticians had no choice. These days we have no excuse.
Randomization-based
inference makes a direct connection between data production and the logic of inference that
deserves to be at the core of every introductory course.”

How statistics solved the Cholera transmission problem
Cholera outbreaks in the world
The mystery of Cholera's cause and transmission
Miasma theory
The theory of indirect and airborne transmission held that cholera was caused by the smell of the bad air (miasmata), a poisonous vapor with suspended particles of decaying matter and a foul smell
- 19$^{th}$ century prevailing dogma.
- It made sense to most as disease and epidemics were concentrated in poor, filthy and foul-smelling city neighborhoods.
John Snow
British physician, considered one of the fathers of modern epidemiology.
He was skeptical about Cholera being caused by pollution or a noxious form of "bad air".
He proposed that cholera was attributable to a self-replicating agent, probably ingested through the medium of water. Hypothesis
.
(15 March 1813 - 16 June 1858)
Statistical hypothesis
A hypothesis is an assumption about certain characteristics of an object of interest/study. This assumption may or may not be true.
In Statistics, a hypothesis is a specific statement regarding the relationship between two variables.
- Does the association exist?
- Could it be by chance?
- Is there bias?

Subset of the dataset.
Tracking down the outbreak's source
Snow analyzed the spatial pattern of the disease based on:
An outlier is an observed value that is notably distinct from the other values in a dataset. Usually, an outlier is much larger or much smaller than the rest of the data values.
Outliers in Snow's Soho investigation
The information given by the outliers was important: it helped Snow rule out other possible sources of the epidemic besides pump water.
A workhouse had 535 inmates but almost no cases of cholera.
=> Snow discovered the workhouse had its own well
The 70 workers of the brewery on Broad Street also escaped cholera.
=> Mr. Huggins (owner) told Snow that the men drank the liquor they made or water
from the brewery’s own well.
An elderly widow in West Hampstead (an area some distance away, which was free of cholera)
and her niece died from cholera.
=> She liked the taste of Broad Street water, and she had a bottle brought to them every day from the pump
The Broad street pump area
Area for which the Broad Street pump is the fastest trip to water (on foot).
From data to administrative action
On Sep 7, 1854, Snow took his research to the town officials and convinced them to take the handle off the pump.
Still, the scientific community was reluctant to
believe his theory
What would be alternative explanations
for the decrease in cholera fatal attacks?
Snow's "Grand Experiment"
Despite the success of Snow’s theory in stemming the cholera epidemic in Soho, public officials still thought his hypothesis was nonsense. => He needed stronger evidence.
Research question:
Is there a causal relationship between water supply and cholera?
The population is the entire collection of observational units we are interested in.
A sample is a subset of the population on which we record data.
Numerical summaries about a population are called parameters, and numerical summaries calculated from a sample are called statistics.

Experiment & Observational study
An
experiment is a study in which the researcher actively controls one or more of the explanatory variables.
An observational study is a study in which the researcher does not actively control the value of any variable but simply observes and record the values as they naturally exist.
Snow compared different exposure groups, but did not assign the exposure (contaminated water or not). What kind of study is it?

Observational units:
"Groups" of people
Variables:
- Occurence of cholera fatal attacks (outcome)
- Type of water supply (explains difference in outcome)
Explanatory & Response variables
A
response variable is the variable about which questions are asked, it measures the outcome of the study.
An explanatory variable is any factor that can influence, explain or predict the response variable.
The response variable is usually called dependent, while the explanatory variable is sometimes called independent.

Less people started to question the relevance of the germ theory to cholera.
New prevention and control measures developed to prevent cholera outbreaks (boiling water)
Improving the London waterworks
The S&V company was forced by the Metropolitan Water Act to move its intake to a location far upriver near Hampton.
6 steps of a statistical investigation
Could water supplied to South London residents by private companies be a principal vector for the transmission of cholera?
Large scale study of cholera fatal attacks in South London (water supply randomly "assigned")
Looking for patterns by comparing the occurence of cholera fatal attacks in the different population groups
People served by sewage-contaminated water seem more affected
by fatal cholera attacks
Contamined water is most likely a source of cholera infection. Cholera is a waterborne disease.
Need for analyzing water samples (identify "germ").
Boiling water mandatory during cholera epidemics.
Summary
Data are everywhere.
A dataset is usually comprised of variables measured on observational units.
Variables can be
Categorical Quantitative
Response Explanatory
Data can be used to provide information about essentially anything we are interested in and want to collect data on!
Statistics is a powerful tool to draw inferences and make decisions.
Don't say that the hypothesis has been proven right or wrong, but rather say that evidence is either strong or weak.

As we announced last year, an election will be held on January 26-30 for the seven positions on the Steering Committee of the Software Carpentry Foundation. If you are a qualified instructor who has taught at least twice in the past two years, or have done a significant chunk of non-teaching work for Software Carpentry, you can both stand for election and vote. We strongly urge you to consider standing: if you're willing and able to commit to giving the Foundation 3 hours a week, you'll help thousands of scientists. It'll be fun, too: few things in life are more satisfying than working with a dedicated bunch of people to make something useful happen.
In order to stand for election, you must write a blog post to introduce yourself to the community by Friday, January 16. This post must be around 500 words long, can be written in any format (e.g. question and answer, paragraph text), and must be titled, "2015 Election: Your Name". It should explain:
what your background is,
what your previous involvement with Software Carpentry has been, and most importantly
what you will do as a member of the Steering Committee to contribute to the growth and success of Software Carpentry.
Please visit the list of current members to see who is eligible to stand and vote in our election. If you believe you qualify as a member but are not listed there, please contact us as soon as possible—we've done our best to keep our records up to date, but are missing several people who taught in the second half of 2014.

History repeats itself; like the Roman collesiums of old, cybernetic gladiators will duke it out in the post-postmodern neon world games series: Olympia Rising, in the year of 2608. And what better way than to solve it with Rock Paper and Scissors.
Genre
A point-n-click with an emphasis on chance.
Platform
Browser only.
Story
Everyone competes; andn somethings can only be solved when you say, "Shoot".
Aesthetic
There is an emphasis on making it very clear and direct: this is a very, simple game involving PIXI.js.
Gameplay
The following section covers the gameplay portion of the document.
Mechanics
Mechancis are simply this. Rock beats Scissors. Scissors beats Paper. And Paper bests Rock.
Controls
Players can control the game using:
- The mouse.
Onboarding
The input is entirely button controlled through the use of the mouse.
Player Learning
Players play against chance. It's a bit like gambling.
Screenshots
[Screenshots and mock-ups will be added at a later point in time.]

Back to Projects
Mormon.org is a site produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that promotes and informs online visitors about the values, beliefs, and practices of Mormons. Over 2 million users visit Mormon.org each month.
During my internship at Boncom, I worked on multiple areas of the site including mobile and desktop. Redesigning the chat experience was one of the more impactful projects that I had the opportunity to work on.
Issues presented by the client included the following:
The client’s main focus was on improving chat engagement and experience.
Before brainstorming solutions, I wanted explore the product to understand it deeper and see if there were other UI/UX issues. Later, I’ll mention some issues that I discovered in the “Define” section.
I started by looking at other chat experiences on mobile & desktop to identify what seemed to work and what did not. During this review I noticed most of these chat experiences at one point or another had the following:
Due to client contraints, I conducted a few quick usability tests in the office to determine what parts of the interface cause frustation and confusion.
During the the product audit & usability tests, I found that many of the issues were UI related.
Aesthetics and Feel
Overall, the UI felt awkward and out-of-date.
Limited Screen Real Estate
Due to the bulky UI components, the interface overpowers the mobile screen.
Bring site aesthetics up to speed with current visual trends and patterns.
Use design principles such as proximity and white space to create a more simple interface.
During my internship, our team met together once a week to discuss the progress of our projects. I would present my design concepts and receive design critiques from the team. Before this time, I didn’t have much experience presenting design work. This become an opportunity to learn how to present effectively.
When presenting design work, come into meetings ready to learn with an open mind. Confidently present your designs, but humbly take feedback. Oftentimes there a new perspectives and considerations that others will share with you.
Here is some of the feedback I received from the team:
Throughout the project I continued to present my work to the team and test it in the office. As a recieved feedback, I would iterate over and over.
Solution: In an effort to decrease the response time of missionaries, we added labels on the chat message like “just now” or “11 seconds ago” instead of “2:34pm”. In Figure 1, you can see that each message is labeled by the amount of time that has passed instead of the time of day.
In Figure 2, I created a pop-up notification for missionaries after a certain amount of time has passed without their response to a chat. The pop-up includes default response questions that allow the missionary to respond as quickly as possible when they are notified of the delay. These notifications would help missionaries keep track of visitors they are chatting with and help them respond to visitors in a timely matter. Although the mock-up below says “5:34 mins,” we did not decide on a final time frame before the pop-up would display.
Solution: As a way to increase chat engagement, I designed a chat CTA that is content specific to the topic page. For example in Figure 3, this CTA would be displayed on the “How to Pray?” topic page. I did because I wanted visitors to see how chatting with missionaries would be helpful.
To help missionaries understand the context of visitors, I decided to add a notification bar to show them where visitors are entering the chat from (Figure 4).
Solution: In an attempt to increase trust in the chat experience, I added photos of the missionaries faces along with a drop-down menu that displays basic information about where they are from and what they enjoy doing. Another solution we came up with was adding the “122 people chatting now” to the content specific CTA on each topic page. We did this to add credibility through social proofing (figure 3).
Looking back on this project, I would have:
During this project, I learned:
Although I wasn’t able to see the outcomes of my work, by the end of my internship I felt that this project challenged me to design within set business goals. Below are some LinkedIn recommendations I received at the conclusion of my internship:
"Jake is a highly skilled UX designer who thinks through problems thoroughly and offers solutions that are both user-friendly and business-oriented. He is among the quickest workers I have met — capable of cranking out prototypes to illustrate his ideas. Jake’s got a bright future ahead of him."
- Tim Price Ph.D. MBA, UX Strategist @ Boncom
"Jake was one of those UX/UI intern prodigies. He is also extremely humble about it. Jake did not require a lot of handholding or catching up. As soon as he started he hit the ground running. Jake very quickly became a valuable asset. He is eager and hungry to learn as much as he can. He is in the know of the latest interaction trends and it is good at creating and maintaining a network. Jake is ahead of the game in more ways than one. I look forward to anyone that gets the privilege of working with him."
- Spencer Loveless, Senior Designer @ Boncom

After the discovery of the New World by Columbus, the Spaniards dreamed eagerly of its marvelous wealth. They were impatient to be off to the land where they believed fortunes awaited them. So zealous were they, in their mad search for gold and adventure that many were willing to leave home and friends for years.
The most brilliant of these explorers were Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico, and Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru. Both of these men had carried back to Spain many million dollars worth of gold and silver. With Pizarro was a young man named Hernando de Soto.  This alone has given him a prominent place in the history of our country.
He was born about 1500, of a poor but noble family. In his youth he excelled in athletic sports. He was unusually skilled in horsemanship and in fencing. He took a leading part in all the dangerous exploits in the New World. For he not only won fame, but went back to Spain after many years a rich man.
While Cortez and Pizarro had been conquering Mexico and Peru, other Spaniards had been seeking their fortune in Florida. These men had brought back no gold and silver. de Soto wished to conquer and explore the country. His faith in the mines of the interior was great. He already had won great influence by his achievements. He secured the favor of the king. He was appointed governor of the island of Cuba. He was appointed leader of an expedition to conquer and occupy Florida. He was to take men enough with him to build forts and plant a colony. He was to hold the country for Spain.
de Soto had no difficulty in getting followers to join him on this trip. Young men from noble families flocked to him from all parts of Spain. He knew that dangers and hardships awaited them. He chose only the strongest men to go with him.
de Soto’s men were richly dressed nobles. They were warriors in glittering armor. It was a huge party when they sailed out of port. Their banners were flying. Cannon were booming. Every young man felt proud to sail on so grand an expedition. After arriving in Cuba, de Soto spent some time there. Then leaving his wife to govern the island, he set out to explore Florida. His expedition was a large one. There were nine vessels, six hundred men, and about two hundred and twenty-five horses. In May, 1539, the whole force landed at Tampa Bay, on the western coast of Florida.
de Soto and his men met with hunger, disease, death, and many other misfortunes. Still de Soto went on with his mad search for gold. He worked his way though the deep twisted forests. In the spring of 1541, about two years after landing at Tampa Bay, he reached the bank of the Mississippi river. It took months to make boats. Finally he crossed the mighty stream. From there he marched in a northerly and westerly direction. He went as far as the site of what is now Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas.
Next, he marched southeast to the Washita. He spent a winter so severe that many of the party, including Ortiz, died.
About the middle of April, 1542, tired, spent and sick at heart the Spaniards reached the mouth of the Red River. Even de Soto was discouraged and broken in spirit. He was taken ill with fever and soon died. At first his followers buried his body near the town where they were staying. Indians were curious about the ground under which he lay. So at night the Spaniards took up the body. They wrapped it in blankets made heavy with sand. Sadly they lowered de Soto into the waters of the mighty river that de Soto discovered. After many more hardships about half of those men who landed at Tampa Bay, traveled to a Spanish colony in Mexico. Thus ended the trip that set sail with such hope and wealth and renown.


Example #1: Regular Map Example with events. Click and zoom the map to log in the console the events that are broadcasted, so the events are propagated from the rootScope to ALL child scopes until a listener captures it
Example #2: Regular Map Example with events Enabled and Emited. Click and zoom the map to log in the console the events. As only click is enable there won't be any other events. The events are emited so the leaflet event is propagated from child scopes to rootScope until a listener captures the event
Example #3: Regular Map Example with events Enabled and Broadcasted. Click and zoom the map to log in the console the events. As only click is enabled there won't be zoom events generated from this map (but it is possible from other maps!!). The events are broadcasted so the leaflet event is propagated from rootScope to ALL childs until a listener captures the event, so in this case all controllers will log to the console the event, althought they don't generate it.
Example #4: Regular Map Example with events Disabled and Emited. Click and zoom the map to log in the console the events. As only click is disabled there will be zoom events. The events are emited so the leaflet event is propagated from child scopes to rootScope until a listener captures the event.
Example #5: Regular Map Example with events Disabled and Broadcasted. Click and zoom the map to log in the console the events. As only click is disabled there will be zoom events. The events are broadcasted so the leaflet event is propagated from rootScope to ALL childs until a listener captures the event, so in this case all controllers will log to the console the event. This map won't generate a click event but as the events are broadcasted will respond to other map click events

A pie chart is a visual tool that graphs categorical data and helps one understand the part-to-a-whole relationship. Visually a pie chart is circular in shape that is divided into sectors, where each sector represents the number or percentage of times an observation or category has been selected. The pie chart given in Figure~\ref{fig:Pie}, represents the the number or percentage of times respondents expressed concerns about their neighborhood issues. Each sector of the pie chart represents a distinct category, that is a particular neighborhood issue.

THE NEXT TITAN NIGERIA 2019 – Nigeria’s entrepreneurial TV show
by Laila IjeomaTHE NEXT TITAN NIGERIA 2019 – Nigeria’s entrepreneurial reality TV show.
For so many years, the media space in Nigeria has been populated to the point of over saturation with unwholesome and unhealthy content which do not particularly strive to discover, develop and harness the right value system, culture and principles which lend to a quest for true self discovery with a potential to be a catalyst for a purpose and value driven life and by extension lifestyle.
With the booming growth in social media accessibility and usage today this challenge had even grown to become one that has almost become and endemic national crisis of identity, direction and aspiration.
This is largely fueled by higher levels of and exposure to unhealthy tv and media content which leaves a subliminal message imprint on the mind of the viewers who in turn start to adjust themselves to fit into the mould for what become the “acceptable norm” of behaviour or what is termed “cool” through the eyes of the Nigerian youths.
The Next Titan Nigeria is Nigeria’s foremost entrepreneurial reality TV show which looks to empower young Nigerian entrepreneurs with the requisite information, knowledge and business training to stand them in great stead to start their dream businesses.
The show has been running consistently for the past 5 years and has empowered five young Nigerian entrepreneurs to start their dream businesses which are today adding value to the Nigerian economy and also creating employment opportunities for more Nigerians.
This is quite remarkable as other international entrepreneurial show franchises have been brought into Nigeria but due to reasons which are best know to the organizers could not be sustained, yet the Next Titan Nigeria has stayed consistent and committed to her goal which is to empower young Nigerians with the tools, training and funding required to live their dream .
Without a doubt, the knock on effect of having such an impactful and educative show on TV with widespread publicity and widespread acceptance is that more youths will be inspired to pursue their dreams, make a conscious effort to live value-driven and purposeful lives as well as generally improving the commitment to strong, positive values in the society generally.
THE NEXT TITAN NIGERIA 2019:
The show was created by Mr. Mide Kunle Akinlaja, who is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Bravopoints International Limited, and is currently the Executive Producer of the show, himself a seasoned entrepreneur while the Board that mentors and judges the final 16 contestants who make it into the Next Titan Academy include;

- Mrs. Lilian Olubi, an experienced investment manager with over 2 decades of business experience in the capital market and is the CEO, EFG Hermès Nigeria Limited, as well as a founding partner and member of the Board of Directors of Primera Africa Finance Group.
This season’s last 16 contestants were chosen from across 4 different audition venues in Nigeria i.e. Enugu, Port-Harcourt, Abuja and Lagos out of a pool of over 18,000 applications received to be a part of this season of The Next Titan Nigeria.

PSM
The PSM
package provides an interface that allows you to run forward models using values from a state vector ensemble. Running these forward models produces the proxy estimates required for assimilation algorithms.
Implementing forward models is beyond the scope of DASH
, so the PSM
interface is designed to help run external forward modeling codes. DASH
does include a single built-in forward model - a general, multi-variate linear model - but all other officially supported forward models are external codes located on Github. The interface implements PSM
objects. These objects implement different external forward models, but use a common set of commands to build and run the models.
You can create a PSM
object for any of the forward models supported by DASH
. The object will store any parameters required to run the PSM (distinct from climate variables stored in the ensemble). Each PSM
object also includes a wrapper function, which will run the actual forward model code using the specified parameters. You can create multiple objects for the same forward model - this way, you can run a forward model with different parameters for different proxy records.
We anticipate that many users will want to use forward models not officially supported by DASH
. To that end, PSM
includes a template for adding new forward models to the toolbox. However, it’s also important to note that the PSM
interface is strictly meant as a convenience. You are not required to use the interface to generate proxy estimates, and it’s perfectly acceptable to run the forward models outside of DASH
using your own code.
Supported Forward Models
The DASH
toolbox officially supports the following forward models:
Model |
Description |
|---|---|
Bayesian model of planktic foraminiferal δ18O c |
|
Bayesian model of planktic foraminiferal Mg/Ca |
|
Bayesian model for TEX86 |
|
Bayesian model for UK’37 |
|
identity |
Returns inputs as outputs without running any model |
linear |
General multi-variate linear model |
Palmer Drought-Severity Index estimator |
|
Cellulose δ18O sensor module |
|
Coral δ18O sensor module |
|
Ice-core δ18O sensor module |
|
Vaganov-Shashkin Lite model of tree-ring width |
As mentioned, PSM
also includes a template for adding new forward models to the toolbox. We will not be covering this in the tutorial, but if you are interested, enter:
edit PSM.template
in the console, and follow the instructions in the opened file.
Note
The PRYSM forward models are written in Python and require some extra setup to run within Matlab. You can read about setting up the PRYSM package using dash.doc('PSM.prysm')
Standard Workflow
The remainder of this page will discuss the standard workflow when using the PSM
interface.
Download PSMs
You can’t run an external code unless the code is available on your computer. You can use the PSM.download
command to download supported forward models from Github.
Create PSM Objects
Typically, you’ll want to create a PSM object for each proxy record. You can create a PSM object for a specific forward model using PSM.<model name>
. For example, PSM.linear
will create an object for a linear forward model, and PSM.bayspar
will create an object for the BaySPAR forward model.
Locate Forward Model Inputs
Next, you’ll need to locate the elements of the state vector ensemble that are required to run each forward model. Every PSM object includes a rows
command, which allows you to specify which state vector rows contain the inputs for a given forward model.
You’ll typically use the ensembleMetadata
class to locate these rows. The closestLatLon
command is perhaps the most frequently used - it will search a state vector variable for the data values closest to a proxy site. Other commands that may be useful include ensembleMetadata.find
, which locates specific state vector variables, and ensembleMetadata.variable
, which returns metadata along the rows of a state vector variable.
Run Models over Ensemble
Once you have located the inputs to each forward model, you are ready to run the models over the ensemble. The PSM.estimate
command allows you to run a collection of forward models over an ensemble. This produces the proxy estimates for assimilation algorithms.
