The Sin of Judah
1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars,
2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree and on the high hills,
3 on the mountains in the open country.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 “I the LORD search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”
11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
so is he who gets riches but not by justice;
in the midst of his days they will leave him,
and at his end he will be a fool.
12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth,
for they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water.
Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.
15 Behold, they say to me,
“Where is the word of the LORD?
Let it come!”
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd,
nor have I desired the day of sickness.
You know what came out of my lips;
it was before your face.
17 Be not a terror to me;
you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 Let those be put to shame who persecute me,
but let me not be put to shame;
let them be dismayed,
but let me not be dismayed;
bring upon them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction!
Keep the Sabbath Holy
19 Thus said the LORD to me: “Go and stand in the People's Gate, by which the kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem,
20 and say: ‘Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates.
21 Thus says the LORD: Take care for the sake of your lives, and do not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hear and receive instruction.
24 “ ‘But if you listen to me, declares the LORD, and bring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it,
25 then there shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever.
26 And people shall come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the Shephelah, from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
27 But if you do not listen to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem and shall not be quenched.’ ”

hybristophilia
"Chicks dig jerks."
 (Right, right: Who hasn't?) But what about an actual psychopath? For some, that's their fuckbuddy of choice; they're driven by a psychological need to copulate with the wicked. Hybristophiliacs experience difficulty becoming aroused or reaching orgasm unless their partner has committed some kind of serious (usually violent) transgression. Often he's an ex-con.
Women fling themselves at incarcerated criminals, particularly serial killers. Ted Bundy married his girlfriend during a court hearing. Even a female juror who served on the Richard Ramirez trial fell in love with him after she voted to convict. And then there are those who actually "go all the way" (nyuk, nyuk) and partcipate in violent crimes alongside their sex partners:
- Debra Brown
- Caril Ann Fugate
- Gerald Gallego
- Wendy Gardner
- Cindy Lea Hendy
- Myra Hindley
- Karla Homolka
- Janice Hooker
- The Manson Family
- Bonnie Parker
- Harleen Quinzel

Although LGBTQ people have been getting more representative roles in TV shows, the representation often isn’t hitting the mark.
Many of the shows that are praised for having LGBTQ roles are simply using the characters as tropes. The characters often represent the most stereotypical person in that role.
One of the more problematic shows that misrepresented LGBTQ people was Glee, said delfin bautista, the director of the Ohio University LGBT Center.
“You may think (Glee) raised awareness, especially at a time where representation was lacking, especially inclusive, comprehensive representation of LGBT folk, but at the same time, representing a very limited scope,” bautista, who uses they/them pronouns and the lowercase spelling of their name, said.
Marcus Pavilonis | ILLUSTRATION
The character of Kurt Hummel, played by Chris Colfer, was one of those stereotypical LGBTQ roles. He was written as interested in fashion, was slender and a singer.
“(For) folks who don’t fit that mold, where are our stories?” bautista asked.
Joseph Metcalf, a junior studying education, also has issues with the show Glee. He found the show to be disappointing.
“Glee was kind of disappointing in how they decided to show different sexualities and the different heartaches and experiences that come with having sexually diverse groups of people and people with different gender identities,” Metcalf said.
Metcalf also believes the character of Unique Adams, played by Alex Newell, was used as a gimmick.
“In a lot of (shows), we find incidental queer characters, just stumbling upon them,” Metcalf said. “It’s just a backseat to the storyline. It’s a fun little trope to use for an episode.”
Glee creator Ryan Murphy did do a good job of pushing things forward, but there were a lot of missed opportunities for critical representation, bautista said.
“You have these tropes that (Murphy) could have challenged but he lived into them, so dynamics of privilege and dynamics of respectable LGBT-ness was I think played out in Glee,” bautista said.
One of the shows that does a good job is the cartoon Steven Universe; a coming-of-age story about a boy who lives with humanoid, magical aliens. The five-time Emmy nominated show portrays different family structures as well as romantic and platonic relationships.
“(Steven Universe) is teaching acceptance and tolerance,” B Irwin, a junior studying women’s, gender and sexuality studies, said. “If we root that idea very young, then it’s not culturally inappropriate.”
The show includes same-sex marriage, non-binary characters and male characters embracing their feminine sides without ridicule. Steven Universe was called “one of the most unabashedly queer shows on TV” in a story by The Guardian.
Last year, the breakout film Love, Simon was highly praised for having the primary narrative be the coming-out of a teenage boy. But the production decisions behind the film didn’t sit well with everyone in the LGBTQ community.
“In one of favorite movies last year, Love, Simon, the main actor of this breakout LGBT film was not gay,” Metcalf said.
Metcalf thought the portrayal of Simon Spier, played by Nick Robinson, was good from an outsider’s perspective.
“I feel like had we come from a perspective of someone who actually experienced this, it would have been a little more genuine,” Metcalf said.

“(Put) queer people on TV and showing that they exist and they are not made up,” Irwin said.
TV show viewers should not automatically assume characters are straight, Metcalf said. Viewers shouldn’t automatically assume anything about a character’s sexuality.

Allowing LGBTQ people to write their stories as well as produce and act in those stories is something bautista would like to see in the future.
“Include the people who they are trying to portray in the conversation so we aren’t writing these folks as complete outsiders,” bautista said.

On the unexpected benefits of being a celebrity cookery-show star
At work yesterday, in my Undisclosed Hotel, we had a three-course lunch served in the Lavish Victorian Dining Room. We don’t usually do lunches and everything was a bit hectic. I stayed out of the kitchen, for once, and concentrated on doing front-of-house things. Mostly this involved wandering around with a bottle of wine in each hand: flashbacks of the previous night.
p. When it came to the dessert course, I was asked by a nice old gentleman what these things were. I told him they were creme brulees. Then I was asked what a creme brulee was.
p. I happen to know quite a bit about creme brulees, and, since I was in customer-service mode, instantly launched into “Well, invented at Trinity College Cambridge in the eighteenth century…“
p. I didn’t get asked any more questions that day.
p. Today, randomly, I was asked what the raspberry-growing season was in Scotland. I knew that one because of the Fife Diet, which took place at about this time last year. It’s surprising what you pick up.

Similarities and analogies offer insightful measures for evaluating embedding performance, but Tensorboard, a project offshoot of Tensorflow, provides a completely different set of tools for analyzing vector representations in relatively few dimensions: PCA visualization. The webpage requires two initial documents to properly animate the embedding: a tab-delimited TSV file of word tensors, and another tab-delimited TSV file of their respective metadata.
Together, this information builds a three-dimensional plot that allows the user to search for terms, find nearest neighbors (by cosine or euclidean distance), and restructure the data in the form of UMAP or T-SNE charts.

Mourinho contender for Tottenham job
by AGENCIESLONDON, United Kingdom, Nov 20 – Jose Mourinho is a serious contender to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham manager, according to reports.
Mourinho has been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in December last year.
Sky Sports reported last month that Mourinho is keen to return to English football because of a desire to win major trophies with a third Premier League club.
However, one of the bookies’ favourites to replace Pochettino, RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann is unlikely to be heading to North London.
Sky Sports News has learned any potential suitors are likely to face a struggle to release Nagelsmann from his present deal in Germany.
Who next for Tottenham?
Bayern Munich and Manchester United have also shown an interest in the 32-year-old in recent months.
Leipzig sit second in the Bundesliga and top of their Champions’ League Group and are understood to be unwilling to let Nagelsmann leave, having waited a year for him to join from Hoffenheim before the start of the season.
“The fact that we are told Mourinho is a serious contender shouldn’t surprise too many people. But it would be a sensational turn of events.
“Ultimately Pochettino has paid a price for results. They haven’t won a Premier League away game since January. Inevitably questions will now be asked about what next. Mourinho?
“We shouldn’t lose sight of what a difficult decision this has been for Tottenham. Daniel Levy said they were ‘extremely reluctant’ to lose him and another senior figure at the club said it has been ‘a tough day’ and ‘a decision we hoped we wouldn’t have to make.'”

EXCESS BAGGAGE
RATING: *1/2 (out of ****)
Columbia / 1:38 / 1997 / PG-13 (language, sex-related dialogue, violence) Cast: Alicia Silverstone; Benicio Del Toro; Christopher Walken; Jack Thompson; Nicholas Turturro; Michael Bowen; Sally Kirkland; Leland Orser; Harry Connick, Jr. Director: Marco Brambilla Screenplay: Max D. Adams; Dick Clement; Ian La Frenais
By starring in Amy Heckerling's "Clueless" two summers ago, Alicia Silverstone proved she wasn't just another pretty, pouty ingenue, showing a buoyant comedic craftiness that blew all previous jobs -- namely a stint as the Aerosmith girl and a silly turn as the lethal Lolita of "The Crush" -- out of the water. Her only work since that 1995 gem has been in June's "Batman & Robin," where she overcame the underwritten role of Batgirl. Now, she's the star and producer of "Excess Baggage," a hopelessly phony film that demonstrates how an ill-composed story can drag an otherwise solid performer down to its level.
Silverstone's Emily T. Hope is stuck with a billionaire father (Jack Thompson) who neglects her emotionally. In an outlandish plan to gain his affection, she fakes her own kidnapping -- Emily uses an electronically disguised voice to call her dad and set a pricey ransom, ties her legs together and mouth shut with duct tape and locks herself in the trunk of her BMW. But before the police can "rescue" her, professional auto thief Vincent Roche (Benicio Del Toro) jimmies the locks, hot-wires the engine and makes off with both the car and Emily, who's still trapped in the back.
When Vincent discovers Emily, the two don't exactly hit it off -- she annoys him, he annoys her, and at the advice of his slimy car salesman partner (Harry Connick, Jr.), he decides to drive her out to the middle of nowhere and leave her there. Along the way, of course, they get into a whole heap of trouble, and come to realize that being together is the only way to get out of their sticky, felony-studded situation. It doesn't help matters that Emily and Vincent are being trailed by cops, crooks and even her shady Uncle Ray (Christopher Walken), who's wise to his niece's ploys for attention and has mafia connections.
For at least a half-hour, "Excess Baggage" bounces along fast and efficiently.  But once it's past its set-up, the situation suddenly becomes uninvolving as the story tries to be too many things at once. A road movie, a teen comedy, a mob thriller, a drama about family relationships -- you name the cliche and "Excess Baggage" likely covers its territory. Of course a romance develops between the two leads, but it all seems forced, and thus characterization is manipulated to cause the finally happy outcome. "Do you like my tummy?" Emily coos to Vincent at one point in the film. Huh? Did I miss something? The hard-edged, foul-mouthed grrrl is suddenly gone and replaced with a pair of batting goo-goo eyes.
Then again, "Excess Baggage" becomes so weak in so many areas that the personality transplant is not a complete surprise. A supporting cast attempts to do what they can with colorful but empty secondary roles, but the movie isn't game enough to use them all and therefore seems overcrowded. Motivations keep shifting, resulting in an often confusing narrative. Scant existing story background confuses matters even worse and adds to the growing list of unanswered questions. "Excess Baggage" has too many characters, too much plot and juggles with one arm behind its back and a remaining shaky hand.
I loved Silverstone's turn in "Clueless" as an aloof, pampered Beverly Hills matchmaker inspired by Jane Austen's "Emma." Looking back at the skill she displayed for comedy there, it's simple to justify any high expectation or enthusiasm that I had mustered for "Excess Baggage." Sadly, however, "Excess Baggage" is no "Clueless." But, on the other hand, it is clueless.

Gather and Scatter Functions | |||||||||||
The gather and scatter functions allow you to easily use vectors with structured data and random accesses. There are several variants:
All gather and scatter functions optionally take a mask as last argument. In that case only the entries that are selected in the mask are read in memory and copied to the vector. This allows you to have invalid indexes in the
The index type (IndexT) can either be a pointer to integers (array) or a vector of integers. Accessing values of a struct works like this: struct MyData {
float a;
int b;
};
void foo(MyData *data, uint_v indexes) {
const float_v v1(data, &MyData::a, indexes);
const int_v v2(data, &MyData::b, indexes);
v1.scatter(data, &MyData::a, indexes - float_v::Size);
v2.scatter(data, &MyData::b, indexes - 1);
}

...
}
| |||||||||||

| double_m | operator<= (const double_v &x) const | ||||||||||
Returns mask that is true where the left vector entries are less than on the right or equal and false otherwise. | |||||||||||
Arithmetic Operations | |||||||||||
The vector classes implement all the arithmetic and (bitwise) logical operations as you know from builtin types. void foo(const float_v &a, const float_v &b) {
const float_v product = a * b;
const float_v difference = a - b;
}
| |||||||||||
| double_v | operator+ (double_v x) const | ||||||||||
| Returns a new vector with the sum of the respective entries of the left and right vector. | |||||||||||
| double_v & | operator+= (double_v x) | ||||||||||
Adds the respective entries of x to this vector. | |||||||||||
| double_v | operator- (double_v x) const | ||||||||||
| Returns a new vector with the difference of the respective entries of the left and right vector. | |||||||||||

| void | fusedMultiplyAdd (double_v factor, double_v summand) | ||||||||||
Multiplies this vector with factor and then adds summand , without rounding between the multiplication and the addition. | |||||||||||
Horizontal Reduction Operations | |||||||||||
There are four horizontal operations available to reduce the values of a vector to a scalar value. void foo(const float_v &v) {
float min = v.min(); // smallest value in v
float sum = v.sum(); // sum of all values in v
}
| |||||||||||
| double | min () const | ||||||||||
| Returns the smallest entry in the vector. | |||||||||||
| double | max () const | ||||||||||
| Returns the largest entry in the vector. | |||||||||||
| double | product () const | ||||||||||
| Returns the product of all entries in the vector. | |||||||||||
| double | sum () const | ||||||||||
| Returns the sum of all entries in the vector. | |||||||||||
Apply/Call/Fill Functions | |||||||||||
There are still many situations where the code needs to switch from SIMD operations to scalar execution. In this case you can, of course rely on operator[]. But there are also a number of functions that can help with common patterns. The apply functions expect a function that returns a scalar value, i.e. a function of the form "T f(T)". The call functions do not return a value and thus the function passed does not need a return value. The fill functions are used to serially set the entries of the vector from the return values of a function. Example: void foo(float_v v) {
float_v logarithm = v.apply(std::log);
float_v exponential = v.apply(std::exp);
}
Of course, with C++11, you can also use lambdas here: float_v power = v.apply([](float f) { return std::pow(f, 0.6f); })
| |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||
| double_v | apply (Functor &f) const | ||||||||||

| Const overload of the above function. | |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||
| double_v | apply (Functor &f, double_m mask) const | ||||||||||
As above, but skip the entries where mask is not set. | |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||
| double_v | apply (const Functor &f, double_m mask) const | ||||||||||
| Const overload of the above function. | |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||
| void | call (Functor &f) const | ||||||||||
Call f with the scalar entries of the vector. | |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||
| void | call (const Functor &f) const | ||||||||||
| Const overload of the above function. | |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||

As above, but skip the entries where mask is not set. | |||||||||||
| template<typename Functor > | |||||||||||

| Const overload of the above function. | |||||||||||
| void | fill (double(&f)()) | ||||||||||
| Fill the vector with the values [f(), f(), f(), ...]. | |||||||||||
| template<typename IndexT > | |||||||||||
| void | fill (double(&f)(IndexT)) | ||||||||||
| Fill the vector with the values [f(0), f(1), f(2), ...]. | |||||||||||
Swizzles | |||||||||||
Swizzles are a special form of shuffles that, depending on the target hardware and swizzle type, may be used without extra cost. The swizzles act on every successive four entries in the vector. Thus the swizzle [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7].dcba() results in [3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 6, 5, 4] . This implies a portability issue. The swizzles can only work on vectors where Size is a multiple of four. On Vc::Scalar all swizzles are implemented as no-ops. If a swizzle is used on a vector of Size == 2 compilation will fail. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | abcd () const | ||||||||||
| Identity. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | badc () const | ||||||||||
| Permute pairs. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | cdab () const | ||||||||||
| Permute pairs of two / Rotate twice. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | aaaa () const | ||||||||||
| Broadcast a. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | bbbb () const | ||||||||||
| Broadcast b. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | cccc () const | ||||||||||
| Broadcast c. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | dddd () const | ||||||||||
| Broadcast d. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | bcad () const | ||||||||||
| Rotate three: cross-product swizzle. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | bcda () const | ||||||||||
| Rotate left. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | dabc () const | ||||||||||
| Rotate right. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | acbd () const | ||||||||||
| Permute inner pair. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | dbca () const | ||||||||||
| Permute outer pair. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | dcba () const | ||||||||||
| Reverse. | |||||||||||
Shift and Rotate | |||||||||||
These functions allow to shift or rotate the entries in a vector by the given Both functions support positive and negative numbers for the shift/rotate value. Example: using namespace Vc;
int_v x;
x = foo.shifted( 1); // [2, 3, 4, 0]
x = foo.shifted( 2); // [3, 4, 0, 0]
x = foo.shifted( 3); // [4, 0, 0, 0]
x = foo.shifted( 4); // [0, 0, 0, 0]
x = foo.shifted(-1); // [0, 1, 2, 3]
x = foo.shifted(-2); // [0, 0, 1, 2]
x = foo.shifted(-3); // [0, 0, 0, 1]
x = foo.shifted(-4); // [0, 0, 0, 0]
x = foo.rotated( 1); // [2, 3, 4, 1]
x = foo.rotated( 2); // [3, 4, 1, 2]
x = foo.rotated( 3); // [4, 1, 2, 3]
x = foo.rotated( 4); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
x = foo.rotated(-1); // [4, 1, 2, 3]
x = foo.rotated(-2); // [3, 4, 1, 2]
x = foo.rotated(-3); // [2, 3, 4, 1]
x = foo.rotated(-4); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
These functions are slightly related to the above swizzles. In any case, they are often useful for communication between SIMD lanes or binary decoding operations. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | shifted (int amount) const | ||||||||||
Shift vector entries to the left by amount ; shifting in zeros. | |||||||||||
| const double_v | rotated (int amount) const | ||||||||||
Rotate vector entries to the left by amount . |
Static Public Member Functions | |
| static double_v | Zero () |
| Returns a vector with the entries initialized to zero. | |
| static double_v | One () |
| Returns a vector with the entries initialized to one. | |
| static double_v | Random () |
| Returns a vector with pseudo-random entries. |
| anonymous enum |
| Size |
The size of the vector. I.e. the number of scalar entries in the vector. Do not make any assumptions about the size of vectors. If you need a vector of float vs. integer of the same size make use of IndexType instead. Note that this still does not guarantee the same size (e.g. double_v on SSE has two entries but there exists no 64 bit integer vector type in Vc - which would have two entries; thus double_v::IndexType is uint_v). Also you can easily use if clauses that compare sizes. The compiler can statically evaluate and fully optimize dead code away (very much like #ifdef, but with syntax checking). |
| double_v | ( | double * | alignedMemory | ) |
Construct a vector loading its entries from alignedMemory
.
| alignedMemory | A pointer to data. The pointer must be aligned on a Vc::VectorAlignment boundary. |
| double_v | ( | double | x | ) |
Broadcast Constructor.
Constructs a vector with all entries of the vector filled with the given value.
| x | The scalar value to broadcast to all entries of the constructed vector. |
|
static |
Returns a vector with pseudo-random entries.
Currently the state of the random number generator cannot be modified and starts off with the same state. Thus you will get the same sequence of numbers for the same sequence of calls.
| void load | ( | const double * | memory, |
| LoadStoreFlags | align = Aligned |
||
| ) |
Construct a vector from an array of vectors with different Size.
E.g. convert from two double_v to one float_v.
E.g. convert from one float_v to two double_v.
This is the reverse of the above constructor. Load the vector entries from memory
, overwriting the previous values.
| memory | A pointer to data. |
| align | Determines whether memory is an aligned pointer or not. |
| void setZero | ( | const double_m & | mask | ) |
Set all entries to zero where the mask is set.
I.e. a 4-vector with a mask of 0111 would set the last three entries to 0.
| mask | Selects the entries to be set to zero. |
| void store | ( | EntryType * | memory, |
| LoadStoreFlags | align = Aligned |
||
| ) | const |
Store the vector data to memory
.
| memory | A pointer to memory, where to store. |
| align | Determines whether memory is an aligned pointer or not. |
| double& operator[] | ( | int | index | ) |
This operator can be used to modify scalar entries of the vector.
| index | A value between 0 and Size. This value is not checked internally so you must make/be sure it is in range. |
index
.| double operator[] | ( | int | index | ) | const |
This operator can be used to read scalar entries of the vector.
| index | A value between 0 and Size. This value is not checked internally so you must make/be sure it is in range. |
index
. | MaskedVector operator() | ( | const double_m & | mask | ) |
Writemask the vector before an assignment.
| mask | The writemask to be used. |
The returned object is only to be used for assignments and should not be assigned to a variable.
Examples:
Multiplies this vector with factor
and then adds summand
, without rounding between the multiplication and the addition.
| factor | The multiplication factor. |
| summand | The summand that will be added after multiplication. |
| double_v sorted | ( | ) | const |
Return a sorted copy of the vector.
v[0] <= v[1] <= v[2] <= v[3] ...
Example:
With SSE the output would be:
[1513634383, -963914658,<PHONE_NUMBER>, -1285037745] [-1285037745, -963914658,<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>]
With the Scalar implementation:
[1513634383] [1513634383]
Copies the sign of reference
.
| reference | This values sign bit will be transferred. |
reference
. I.e. sign(v.copySign(r)) == sign(r). | double_v exponent | ( | ) | const |
Extracts the exponent.
This function provides efficient access to the exponent of the floating point number. The returned value is a fast approximation to the logarithm of base 2. The absolute error of that approximation is between [0, 1[.
Examples:
value | exponent | log2 =======|==========|======= 1.0 | 0 | 0 2.0 | 1 | 1 3.0 | 1 | 1.585 3.9 | 1 | 1.963 4.0 | 2 | 2 4.1 | 2 | 2.036
You may use abs to apply this function to negative values:
| double_m isNegative | ( | ) | const |
Check the sign bit of each vector entry.
This function is especially useful to distinguish negative zero.

International Workshop on Children & Recommender Systems
August 27, 2017
Co-located with ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RECSYS) 2017 - Como, Italy
Recommender systems (RS) for children are only recently beginning to be studied and are primarily limited to recommenders in education-related environments. When focused on this particular audience, the role of a recommendation system needs to be reformulated, as it is not sufficient for recommenders to identify items that match usersâ€™ preferences and interests. Instead, it is imperative that they also explicitly consider childrenâ€™s needs from multiple perspectives: educational, developmental, and engagement, to name a few. Considering these particular needs opens a rich set of questions to answer:
The goal of this interactive workshop is to share and discuss research and projects that reach beyond classic recommender techniques and discuss child related challenges of recommender systems. We invite submissions related to recommender systems for children including topics on:
| Paper submission deadline (extended) | July 5, 2017 |
| Notification to authors | July 13, 2017 |
| Camera-Ready Version | July 27, 2017 |
| KidRec Workshop, RecSys Conference | August 27, 2017 |
We invite short papers (4 pages) discussing novel work in progress and position papers (2 pages) focusing on open challenges in promising research directions as well as speculative or innovative work in progress, both in the ACM conference paper style.
All submitted papers must:
Authors will retain the copyright of their submission, however, proceedings will be publicly posted http://ceur-ws.org or via Scholarworks. We are also working on coordinating a special issue in a journal where accepted authors will be invited to submit an extension of their work for publication.


This page contains the prototype for demonstrating the vision for the service and how it will look and behave when the service goes live.

an attempt to optimize the way Squid allocates and frees memory.
Certain data structures inside Squid are
pooled. This means that rather than freeing
unused memory, Squid holds onto it for future use. It also means that
a particular chunk of memory is normally used for the same type of
data structure. Memory pools may improve Squid's
performance by avoiding frequent calls to malloc(
) and free( ). The downside, however,
is that the overall memory usage may be higher. If memory is a
precious resource on your system, you might want to disable memory
pools. |

Hong Kong leader vows to 'listen humbly' after shock poll result
by AFPHONG KONG: Hong Kong’s unpopular leader Carrie Lam said on Monday her government would “listen humbly” to the public after voters dealt a humiliating election setback to the Beijing-backed establishment she heads.
“The government will certainly listen humbly to citizens’ opinions and reflect on them seriously,” she said in a statement issued by the government.
Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp scored a crushing victory in community-level elections held on Sunday, a result that made clear the level of public support for the demands of a protest movement that has thrown the territory into turmoil.
In a rout that stunned the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, candidates favouring greater democracy seized an overwhelming majority of the 452 seats in the city’s 18 district councils.
The councils have historically been firmly in the grip of the Beijing-aligned establishment.
The protest movement has several key demands including direct popular elections and a probe into alleged police brutality, and the result may bring new pressure on Lam to meet them.
She has previously rejected the demands as “wishful thinking” and repeatedly suggested the ballot would show most Hong Kongers supported her administration and an end to the protests.
“The government respects the election results,” Lam said.
She also acknowledged that the result has sparked discussion of the fact “citizens are dissatisfied with the current social situation and… deep-seated problems,” without going into details.
The unrest erupted earlier this year when Lam’s government introduced a bill that would have allowed extraditions to China’s opaque judicial system.
It was later withdrawn but the anger it unleashed triggered a wider movement for change that brought millions into the streets and saw violent clashes between police and protesters.

Agenda
- Getting started with Protractor
- Jasmine
- Global variables and Element locators
- Understanding Promises and Control Flow
- Page Object Pattern
- Protractor Browser Logs
- Generating HTML reports
- Demo
What is Protractor?
An end-to-end test framework for Angular and AngularJS applications
-
Protractor is built on top of WebDriverJS
-
Protractor supports Angular-specific locator strategies
Getting started
Installation:
- Use npm to install Protractor globally
$npm install -g protractor
$protractor --version
> Version 5.1.1
$webdriver-manager update
$webdriver-manager start
Writing your first test
- Configuration file
- Spec file
Config file:
// conf.js
exports.config = {
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
specs: ['spec.js'],
framework: 'jasmine'
}
Spec file:
// spec.js
describe('Angular Sample application::', function() {
it('The resulting text should match "Hello Anisha!"', function() {
browser.get('https://angularjs.org/');
element(by.model('yourName')).sendKeys('Anisha');
expect(element(by.binding('yourName')).getText()).toEqual('Hello Anisha!');
});
});
Running the test(s):
protractor conf.js
Understanding the essentials
Jasmine
Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code.
describe("Sample Application::", function() {
it("should match the text", function() {
var ele = element(by.id('text-intro'));
expect(ele.getText()).toEqual("hello world");
});
});
Global variables
- browser: A wrapper around an instance of WebDriver, used for navigation and page-wide information.
- element: A helper function for finding and interacting with DOM elements on the page you are testing.
- by: A collection of element locator strategies.
Element locators
- by.css('.myclass') : Find an element using a css selector
- by.id('myid') : Find an element with a given id.
- by.model('name'): Find an element with a certain ng-model(Angular specific).
- by.binding('bindingname'): Find an element bound to the given variable(Angular specific).
Locators are passed to the element
function:element(by.css('some-css'));
element(by.model('yourName'));
Actions
The element() function returns an ElementFinder object.
var ele = element(locator);
// Click on the element.
ele.click();
// Send keys to the element (usually an input).
ele.sendKeys('my text');
Since all actions are asynchrounous, all action methods return a promise.
//log the text of an element
var ele = element(locator);
ele.getText().then(function(text) {
console.log(text);
});
Understanding Promises and Control Flow
- WebDriverJS (and thus, Protractor) APIs are entirely asynchronous. All functions return promises.
- WebDriverJS maintains a queue of pending promises, called the control flow, to keep execution organized.
We dont need to write promises, the control flow mechanism of Protractor allows us to write promises in a synchronous way.
Promises
- Promises represent the eventual result of an operation.
- Promises are objects. The Promise object is used for asynchronous computations.
Example code for understanding promises:
var promise = $http.get("/api/docs/<id>");
promise.success(function(title) {
console.log("Title of the published doc: " + title);
});
promise.error(function(response, status) {
console.log("The request failed with response " + response + " and status code " + status);
});
Control Flow
Control Flow coordinates the scheduling and execution of commands operating on a queue.
Without Control flow:
browser.get(“http://www.google.com”).
then(function() {
return element(by.id('q'));
}).
then(function(ele) {
return ele.sendKeys('webdriver');
}).
then(function() {
return element(by.name('btnG')).click();
})......
With Control flow:
browser.get(“http://www.google.com”);
element(by.id('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');
element(by.name('btnG')).click();
......
Page Object Pattern
- A Page Object simply models the page elements as objects within the test code.
- Reduces the amount of duplicate code.
- If the UI changes, the fix needs to be done at only one place.
Example for Without Page Object:
describe('homepage', function() {
it('should greet the named user', function() {
browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');
element(by.model('yourName')).sendKeys('Anisha');
var greeting = element(by.binding('yourName'));
expect(greeting.getText()).toEqual('Hello Anisha!');
});
});
With Page Object Pattern:
#PageObjectFile.js:
var AngularHomepage = function() {
var nameInput = element(by.model('yourName'));
var greeting = element(by.binding('yourName'));
this.get = function() {
browser.get('http://www.angularjs.org');
};
this.setName = function(name) {
nameInput.sendKeys(name);
};
this.getGreetingText = function() {
return greeting.getText();
};
};
module.exports = new AngularHomepage();
#Test.spec:
var angularHomepage = require('./AngularHomepage');
describe('angularjs homepage', function() {
it('should greet the named user', function() {
angularHomepage.get();
angularHomepage.setName('Anisha');
expect(angularHomepage.getGreetingText()).toEqual('Hello Anisha!');
});
});
Protractor Browser Logs Assertion
Allows asserting the browser console logs in each test for warnings and errors.
npm install protractor-browser-logs
var browserLogs = require('protractor-browser-logs');
var verifyBrowserConsoleLogs = function() {
var logs = browserLogs(browser);
beforeEach(function() {
logs.reset();
});
afterEach(function() {
return logs.verify();
});
};
Generating reports
$ npm install jasmine-spec-reporter
$ npm install protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter


Next: Mean Place to Apparent Place
Up: EXPLANATION AND EXAMPLES
Previous: Different Sorts of Mean Place
Figure 1 is based upon three varieties of mean all of which are
of practical significance to observing astronomers in the present era:
- Old style (FK4) with known proper motion in the FK4
system, and with parallax and radial velocity either
known or assumed zero.
- Old style (FK4) with zero proper motion in FK5,
and with parallax and radial velocity assumed zero.
- New style (FK5) with proper motion, parallax and
radial velocity either known or assumed zero.
The figure outlines the steps required to convert positions in
any of these systems to a J2000 for the current
epoch, as might be required in a telescope-control
program for example.
Most of the steps can be carried out by calling a single
SLALIB routines; there are other SLALIB routines which
offer set-piece end-to-end transformation routines for common cases.
Note, however, that SLALIB does not set out to provide the capability
for arbitrary transformations of star-catalogue data
between all possible systems of mean .Only in the (common) cases of FK4, equinox and epoch B1950,
to FK5, equinox and epoch J2000, and vice versa are
proper motion, parallax and radial velocity transformed
along with the star position itself, the
focus of SLALIB support.
As an example of using SLALIB to transform mean places, here is
a program which implements the top-left path of Figure 1.
An FK4 of arbitrary equinox and epoch and with
known proper motion and
parallax is transformed into an FK5 J2000 for the current
epoch. As a test star we will use ,, equinox 1900, epoch 1963.087,
/y, /y,
parallax =
, radial velocity = -34.22 km/s. The
epoch of observation is 1994.35.

It is interesting to look at how the changes during the
course of the calculation:
16 09 55.130 -75 59 27.20 original equinox and epoch
16 09 54.155 -75 59 23.98 with space motion
16 09 54.229 -75 59 24.18 with old E-terms removed
16 16 28.213 -76 06 54.57 precessed to 1950.0
16 16 28.138 -76 06 54.37 with new E-terms
16 23 07.901 -76 13 58.87 J2000, current epoch
16 23 07.907 -76 13 58.92 including parallax
Other remarks about the above (unusually complicated) example:
- If the original equinox and epoch were B1950, as is quite
likely, then it would be unnecessary to treat space motions
and E-terms explicitly. Transformation to FK5 J2000 could
be accomplished simply by calling
sla_FK425, after which
a call to
sla_PM and the parallax code would complete the
work.
- The rigorous treatment of the E-terms
has only a small effect on the result. Such refinements
are, nevertheless, worthwhile in order to facilitate comparisons and
to increase the chances that star positions from different
suppliers are compatible.
- The FK4 to FK5 transformations,
sla_FK425
and
sla_FK45Z,
are not as is sometimes assumed simply 50 years of precession,
though this indeed accounts for most of the change. The
transformations also include adjustments
to the equinox, a revised precession model, elimination of the
E-terms, a change to the proper-motion time unit and so on.
The reason there are two routines rather than just one
is that the FK4 frame rotates relative to the background, whereas
the FK5 frame is a much better approximation to an
inertial frame, and zero proper
motion in FK4 does not, therefore, mean zero proper motion in FK5.
SLALIB also provides two routines,
sla_FK524
and
sla_FK54Z,
to perform the inverse transformations.
- Some star catalogues (FK4 itself is one) were constructed using slightly
different procedures for the polar regions compared with
elsewhere. SLALIB ignores this inhomogeneity and always
applies the standard
transformations irrespective of location on the celestial sphere.

Addressing a group of outstanding teachers and literacy experts in London he will recognise the improvements that have been made, but say national progress on literacy has stalled and the country is being overtaken by other leading nations.
Sir Michael will say that one in five children do not achieve the expected literacy levels by the end of primary school – 100,000 pupils last year alone – rising to one in three pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. One in seven adults, as many as five million people, lack basic literacy skills.
The problem is evidenced by an Ofsted report launched today,
Moving English Forward
which has found that while in many schools English teaching is effective and pupils make good progress, standards in English are not high enough and, since 2008, there has been no overall improvement in primary pupils’ learning.
Speaking at Thomas Jones School, Ladbroke Grove, Sir Michael is expected to say:
There can be no more important subject than English. It is at the heart of our culture and literacy skills are crucial to pupils’ learning for all subjects. Yet too many pupils fall behind in their literacy early on. In most cases, if they can’t read securely at seven they struggle to catch up as they progress through their school careers. As a result, too many young adults lack the functional skills to make their way in the modern world. We are no longer a leading country in terms of our literacy performance: others are doing better.
We don’t need more research or more headline-grabbing initiatives which can’t be sustained. Good leadership is the key to good literacy in schools. Above all, this means being passionate about high standards of literacy for every single pupil, and creating a no-excuses culture both for pupils and for staff.
I am confident we can get to grips with this issue. I am determined that Ofsted will focus more sharply on literacy in our inspections, and I am proposing ten specific steps to raise national standards in literacy.
Sir Michael will emphasise that strong leadership is the key to good literacy in school. This means investing in and leading the professional development of staff in the systematic teaching of phonics; carefully tracking every pupil’s progress in literacy, especially at transition between the Key Stages; and structured intervention when pupils start to fall behind.
He will note that even achieving the current benchmark at the end of primary school is no guarantee of success. Last year 45% of pupils who achieved the lower end of level 4 at age 11 did not achieve a Grade C in their GCSE English.
Therefore the ten steps to raise literacy standards includes the recommendation that the government considers whether the end of primary school target of Level 4 is sufficiently high to provide an adequate foundation for success at secondary school.
Schools should report to parents on their child’s reading age alongside information on national curriculum levels. From September, Ofsted will prioritise for inspection schools with the lowest achievement levels in literacy.
Ofsted will reinforce and further embed its present inspection practice of hearing children read. Schools’ assessment systems will be inspected to ensure that careful monitoring and effective intervention take place.
In colleges and work-based learning, Ofsted will give even greater emphasis to the inspection of literacy skills, as part of the inspection of programmes of study.
Ofsted will sharpen its focus on phonics in routine inspections of all initial teacher education provision – primary, secondary and further education. It is unlikely that any provider of primary initial teacher education will be judged outstanding unless the quality of its phonics training is also outstanding.
In addition to routine inspections, Ofsted will also start a series of unannounced inspections focused solely on the training of phonics teaching in providers of primary initial teacher education, which could trigger a full inspection.
Ofsted will publish a detailed survey of what works best in secondary schools to improve literacy across the curriculum.
Welcoming Ofsted’s English report at the literacy round table event today, the Director of the National Literacy Trust, Jonathan Douglas, said:
‘Addressing the barriers to raising literacy standards must be a top priority for schools, communities and employers. A focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening is essential across all subjects and we support the Chief Inspector in his call to renew a national drive for higher standards and greater engagement with parents.’

Woman's ludicrously easy trick to clean mouldy shower without scrubbing
The woman has been lauded by social media users for sharing the hack - which achieves phenomenal results without scrubbing
by James Rodger, Courtney Pochin, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalistA woman's tip for making her mouldy shower tiles look as good as new has gone viral.
The woman has been lauded by social media users for sharing the hack - which achieves phenomenal results without scrubbing.
She has shared the simple but very effective way she managed to remove the mould from the grouting in her bathroom.
And, remarkably, she achieved the feat without doing any scrubbing.
The unnamed woman revealed she'd found a simple hack - and it only cost around £2 to do.
Mirror Online reports the woman claims she soaked a pieces of the cotton wool in the cleaning product and packed them all around the edges of the tiles.
The cotton wool was left on the tiles overnight and by the morning, the difference was incredible.
She re-shared her original photo as well as a new one showing the results of the cleaning trick.
"Thank you to everyone who has commented," she said. "I used cotton wool and bleach and have attached photos of the results. Wow!"
Dozens of people liked her post, with one person commented: "This is amazing!"
Many people responded to her post, sharing ideas, including using toilet bowl cleaner and just re-sealing the tiles.
