Vice Media Group Hires Ramin Arani as New Chief Financial Officer
Fidelity Investments veteran joins Vice following a $400 million acquisition of Refinery29
21 Nov 2019, 05:03 by Trey Williams
Veteran finance executive Ramin Arani has been named Vice Media Group’s new chief financial officer, the company announced on Wednesday.
Arani will report directly to Vice CEO Nancy Dubuc, and will lead all financial and accounting functions for company while taking over the responsibility for aligning the company’s global business.
With Vice’s recent acquisition of Refinery29, Arani will also work to bring together the financial operations of both companies while looking to drive future strategic opportunities.

“Ramin has been close to the Vice family for over a decade, both as an early supporter and trusted advisor,” Dubuc said in a statement. “His extensive investment experience in media and technology will help shape our future strategic direction and growth across our global footprint and businesses as the media industry continues to evolve.”
Vice’s acquisition of Refinery29 and now Arani’s appointment have come after a period in which Vice Media has been questioned about its financial stability, culture, operations and overall future. Vice laid off roughly 10% of its staff in February, cuts that came as it was grappling with a culture of sexual misconduct that resulted in multiple departures of some of its top leaders.
Vice had lost production and content deals with HBO that were valued at more than $50 million annually, according to the Wall Street Journal . Since then, however, Showtime has revived the weekly “Vice” docuseries that HBO canceled, and the digital media company landed a second docuseries with Hulu called “Vice Investigates.” In October Vice added three additional original podcasts in its partnership with Spotify.
Arani joins Vice with more than two decades of experience managing robust financial portfolios. He was with Fidelity Investments for 26 years, serving as a portfolio manager at Fidelity Management & Research Company. Most recently, Arani was a fund manager of the Fidelity Puritan Fund.
He is a graduate of Tufts University with a bachelor of arts degree in international relations. Arani has served on several company boards including Legendary Pictures, Rent the Runway, Goop, Rumble Boxing, Sakara Life and others.

These days, some Duluth elementary schools house overcrowded classrooms, while others sit half empty.
Over the past decade, shifting demographics have gradually created imbalances among the city’s public schools. Now, school district leaders are exploring plans that would move hundreds of students in an effort to address disparities.
As Duluth prepares to redraw its attendance boundaries, the big question looming — and one Superintendent Bill Gronseth hopes the community can help answer — is how sweeping the changes should be.
“Some are saying we should just fix the areas that need fixing,” Gronseth said. “And others are saying this is an opportunity to completely change the playing field.”
On Monday, the Duluth school district released three scenarios showing possible outcomes for its boundary study, each of which prioritizes different outcomes and affects the district’s 13 schools in different ways.
Here’s what you need to know about Duluth’s boundary study:
All school districts have to make adjustments from time to time to keep up with demographic shifts — Minneapolis’ school district is in the midst of discussions about similar adjustments. The parts of town populated with elementary-aged students change as children grow and families move.
Duluth’s Congdon neighborhood is a current hotspot for young families. Classrooms are crowded at Congdon Elementary School, where 594 students occupy a facility that is only supposed to house 525. Lester Park Elementary School has also passed its enrollment capacity.
Duluth last shifted boundaries more than 10 years ago as part of the district’s long-range facilities plan, also known as the “Red Plan,” a $300 million project that included the building of four new schools and the closing of seven old ones.
Going this long without adjusting boundaries is unusual, Gronseth said. The school board deferred action in 2014 and 2017, when studies commissioned showed some buildings in the district were close to full. Last spring, the current school board hired a consulting firm, Cooperative Strategies, to conduct a study of Duluth’s boundaries and recommend changes to be made.
The total enrollment figures below account for in-district transfers and students who open enroll in Duluth public schools. The percentages of students of color and those receiving free or reduced lunch were calculated based on the number of students enrolled at each school from within its boundaries (not including those who transferred or open enrolled).
Uneven enrollments: The primary motivator for Duluth’s boundary study was the fact that a few of its schools are filled to the brim while others are being underutilized.
Demographic disparities: The percentage of students of color and those receiving free or reduced lunch varies significantly from school to school in Duluth, a gap illustrated at the middle and high school levels by the disparities between the eastern and western parts of the district. Some community members believe improving equity between schools should be a primary concern when redesigning boundaries.
Immersion programs: Duluth’s Spanish and Ojibwe immersion programs, which are housed at Lowell Elementary School, have grown more popular than the district initially anticipated, raising questions about space to accommodate the growth that is expected to continue.
Locals have also expressed concerns about geographic proximity to schools and the disruption of social circles, among other things. Though redrawing school boundaries is a semi-regular process, it can be a controversial and emotional one — residents often feel strong ties to their schools.
These three scenarios were drafted by Cooperative Strategies after consultants hosted work sessions and focus groups with district staff, teachers, parents, students and other residents in the fall.
The enrollment figures below do not account for students who transfer schools or open enroll.
The following maps show how elementary school boundaries would be reshaped. Use the search bars to determine which school a student residing at a particular address would attend under each scenario. For more detailed results, use this lookup tool.
This plan would move 1,425 students in the district, the most of the three proposals. It also does the most to achieve more demographic balance between the middle and high schools. Lowell Elementary School would become a site exclusively for the district’s immersion programs.
Only 528 students would be affected by this plan, and 68 of them would be those enrolled in the Ojibwe immersion program, which would move to Stowe Elementary School in the westernmost part of the district. Enrollment would be more balanced between schools, but demographic inequalities would more or less remain.
A total of 1,056 students would move, making enrollment and demographics more equal at the middle and high schools. Lowell Elementary School would continue to house neighborhood students and the two immersion programs, which could be capped if the facility becomes too full.
The Duluth school district has two middle schools, Lincoln Park and Ordean East, and two high schools, Denfeld and East.
Geographically, the middle/high school boundary line looks significantly different in each of the three options presented, raising concerns from some parents about the distance between their homes and the schools.
The current setup has been criticized by some residents who claim the existing boundary line perpetuates achievement gaps. Like many other districts across Minnesota, graduation rates and test scores in Duluth were lower on average for students of color and those receiving free or reduced lunch.
Lincoln Park and Denfeld — the middle and high schools on the west side of Duluth, historically the part of town where more working class families lived — currently have more diverse and lower-income student populations than their eastern counterparts. They also have fewer students total.
In 2017, residents led by Denfeld parents formed the Duluth Schools Equity Initiative, a group that has lobbied the district to address perceived inequities between Duluth’s high schools. They and other community groups have called on school administrators and the school board to look at how the distribution of funding and elective opportunities differ at the two institutions.
Only two of the proposed scenarios — one and two — would allow all Duluth elementary schools to feed to a single middle and high school combination. In the third scenario, some students at Lowell Elementary would go on to attend Lincoln Park, while others would head to middle school at Ordean East, depending on where they lived. Some residents have said a split like this is undesirable because it can break up social groups.
Cooperative Strategies is collecting feedback on the three scenarios. Community members can fill out a survey online now through Feb. 3. More information about Duluth’s boundary study can be found on the district’s website.
There will also be two meetings for people to ask questions and provide input from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Jan. 22 at East High School and on Jan. 23 at Denfeld High School.
Cooperative Strategies will then draft a recommended proposal, which will be presented to the Duluth school board in February or March. The school board must vote to approve any changes.
That depends on what’s decided. Gronseth said minor boundary shifts could be implemented as early as next fall, while more drastic changes would require more time and planning.


BDD encourages the description of the acceptance tests in a manner that is intelligible and transparent to the business users. This in particular may mean setting up explicitly via scenario steps all the pre-requirements of a particular scenario. For complex scenarios this will rapidly lead to maintainance problems due to duplication of entire blocks of steps.
To help the user better manager more complex scenarios, JBehave allow the specification of entire stories as a pre-requisite for another scenario.
Scenario: A scenario in which the user can run other stories as pre-requisites GivenStories: path/to/story1,path/to/story2,...path/to/storyN Given ... // normal scenario steps
When JBehave encounters the keyword GivenStories, it will run the (one or more) textual stories specified by path in the list (using the same Steps instances specified for the parent story) before proceeding to the execution of the normal scenario steps.
Another way to avoid duplication of textual scenario steps is to use the natural ordering of execution of the story classes. Typically, this means that the stories will be executed in the alphabetical order of their names and a convention can be adopted to have stories start with an alpha-numberical prefix, such as 'Snn' where 'nn' is an incremental number. This though has the disadvantage of having to run all stories leading up to the desired scenario, which in some cases can be unnecessary and time consuming. For example, for debugging purposes one may need to one run one scenario, which may have a dependency on just one other story. This is where GivenStories is most useful.

As you test larger circuits, you will likely find bugs. To nail down what's going wrong, exploring what's going on in the subcircuits while running the overall circuit can help. You can view the state of the subcircuit in two ways: First, you can bring up the subcircuit's popup menu by right-clicking or control-clicking it, choosing the View option.
Or if you have the Poke tool selected, you can click the circuit, and a magnifying glass will appear over its center; double-clicking where the magnifying glass appears will also enter the subcircuit's state.
Notice that the pins' values in the subcircuit match the values being sent to them in its containing circuit.
While in the subcircuit, you are allowed to alter the circuit. If the
changes affect any of the subcircuit's outputs, they are propagated into the
containing circuit. One exception: The subcircuit inputs are determined based on
the values coming into the circuit from the supercircuit, so it doesn't make
sense to toggle those values. If you attempt to poke a subcircuit's input,
a dialog will pop up asking, The pin is tied to the supercircuit state.
Create a new circuit state?
Clicking No will cancel the toggle request,
while clicking Yes will create a copy of the viewed state,
divorced from the outer circuit, with the input pin toggled.
Once you have completed viewing and/or editing, you can return to the parent circuit either by double-clicking the parent circuit in the explorer pane, or via the Go Out To State submenu of the Simulate menu.
Next: Logisim libraries.


KEYWORDS
quicktimetcl - namespace that contains commands and variables specific for
the QuickTimeTcl package.
package require QuickTimeTcl ?version?
The QuickTimeTcl package creates the ::quicktimetcl:: namespace with
commands and variables. See specific documentation for the commands.
- quicktimetcl::canopen fileName
?-allowall 0|1 -allownewfile 0|1 -type graphics|movie?
- Returns a boolean telling if QuickTime is capable of open this file
as anything useful. Note that this call can be slow since QuickTime
needs to loop through all its import components to see if anyone fits.
- -allowall boolean
- (Default 0) If 1 it also includes files that are not normally considered to be
QuickTime files, such as text files.
- -allownewfile boolean
- (Default 0) If 1 it also includes importers that may create a new file.
Else only importers that import "in place" are considered.
- -type graphics|movie
- Restricts the search to only graphics importers or movie importers
respecively. This usually speeds up the search.
- quicktimetcl::debuglevel ?debugLevel?
- Gets or sets the level of debug printouts. With the optional
argument it returns the current debug level (defaults to 0). Hardcoded
printouts start with debug level 2. Debug level 1 is reserved for your
personal debugging session.
- quicktimetcl::systemui
?( normal | contentsuppressed | contenthidden | allhidden )?
?switches?
-
Mac OS X only. Sets or gets the systems UI mode. Without any arguments it returns the current state.
Note that the system UI mode is a per-process state. Switching
from a process that is suppressing system UI to another process
that is not will cause system UI elements to become visible
automatically. Switching back to the first process will suppress
system UI elements again. The modes are:
- normal
- In this mode, all standard system UI elements are visible.
- contentsuppressed
- In this mode, system UI elements which cover the "content area" of
the screen (the area other than the menubar) are hidden. However,
these elements may automatically show themselves in response to
mouse movements or other user activity; specifically, the Dock
will still show itself automatically when the mouse moves into the
Dock's auto-show region.
- contenthidden
- In this mode, system UI elements which cover the "content area" of
the screen (the area other than the menubar) are hidden. Unlike
contentsuppressed, most UI elements will not automatically
show themselves in this mode.
- allhidden
- In this mode, all system UI elements, including the menubar, are
hidden. Most system UI elements will not automatically show
themselves in this mode.
The switches. Note that you only supply the switches, and no values.
- -autoshowmenubar
- Requests that the menubar automatically show itself when the user
moves the mouse into the screen area that would ordinarily be
occupied by the menubar. Only valid with allhidden mode.
- -disableapplemenu
- Disables all items in the Apple menu. Valid for all modes.
- -disableprocessswitch
- The active application may not be changed while this process is
active. Currently disables the Command-Tab and Command-Shift-Tab
key sequences to switch the active process, and the global window
rotation key sequence selected by the user in the Keyboard
preference pane. Only valid with modes other than
normal.
- -disableforcequit
- The Force Quit window may not be displayed while this process is
active. Currently disables the Command-Option-Escape key sequence
to open the Force Quit window and the Force Quit menu item in the
Apple menu. Only valid with modes other than normal.
- -disablesessionterminate
- The current login session may not be terminated while this process
is active. Currently disables the Power key and the Restart, Shut
Down, and Log Out menu items in the Apple menu. Only valid with
modes other than normal.
- quicktimetcl::debuglog
- Boolean
variable used to control if any debug output should also be written
to a logfile. If true debug data is written to _QTTclDebug.txt
in the current directory.
- quicktimetcl::effectfinished
- Variable
used in the effect dialog. It is set -1 when the effect command
returns, and is 0 if user cancelled, 1 if user pressed the OK.
- quicktimetcl::patchlevel
- Variable
containing the QuickTimeTcl patchlevel. This may be a combination of the
version number, and a sequence of digits and letters.
- quicktimetcl::version
- Variable containing
the QuickTimeTcl version number in the form major.minor.

Grapher.js is a library built on top of qtek for 3d plotting. It is relatively small (44kb after gzipped), easy to use and mobile friendly. Currently only surface graph is available.
Quick Start
var surface = new grapher.Surface(canvas, { color: ['green', 'red'], xAxis: { data: new grapher.generator.Sequence(-Math.PI, Math.PI, 0.3) }, yAxis: { data: new grapher.generator.Sequence(-Math.PI, Math.PI, 0.3) }, zAxis: { range: [-2, 2], data: function (x, y) { return Math.sin(x) * Math.sin(y); } }, autoRotate: false });
The API is quite simple. All that's needed to create a basic 3d surface plot is to specify the data of x, y, z axes. Styling options such as color gradients are not required but useful for creating a beautiful 3d graph.
And here is the results.
Browser Support
Grapher.js can run on almost all mordern browerers on PC and mobile. In the environment with WebGL support, it will use WebGL to render all the 3D objects, which is fast. If the browser doesn't support WebGL, for example browsers in Android and IE9, 10. It will try to use canvas to render the 3d objects, which of cause, will be much more slower. But for most cases, performance will not be an issue.
Surface Graph
Surface graph is a graph visualizing equation z = f(x, y)
. In which z defines the height of surface over an underlying (x, y)
grid. In the previous example this eaquation is z = sin(x) + sin(y)
.
In Grapher.js x
, y
, z
are respectively defined by xAxis
, yAxis
, zAxis
. In each has a property data
.
Sequence Data
To construct a regular x-y plane grid, data
property in xAxis
and yAxis
should be regular sequence data. Which can be an array like this:
xAxis: {
data: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
},
yAxis: {
data: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}
Instead of array, a more convenient way is using the grapher.generator.Sequence
. You can define the start
, end
and increment
. The following code generate sequence 0, 1, 2, 3 ... 100
var seq = new grapher.generator.Sequence(0, 100, 1);
The advantange of Sequence
is it only contains the three properties described before. Not like array, it doesn't cost memory (especially when it is large) to keep the elements.
Value of Z
Besides xAxis
, yAxis
. data
of zAxis
is really matters. Because the equation is z = f(x, y)
. The most intuitional way to get z
is set zAxis.data
as a callback function wich has two parameters x
and y
and returned the evaluation. For example
zAxis: {
data: function (x, y) {
return x * x + y * y;
}
}
zAxis.data
also can be a m-by-n matrix. When xAxis.data
is an n-vector and yAxis.data
is an n-vector.
Parametric Surface
A more general way is using parametric surface. Which is defined by a parametric equation with two parameters u
and v
.
To draw a parametric surface. parametric
property must be true
.
In the following example we will draw a sphere with parametric surface. And parameters are respectively phi
and theta
in the spherical coordinate system.
var sin = Math.sin; var cos = Math.cos; var PI = Math.PI; var surface = new grapher.Surface(canvas, { color: ['green', 'red'], parametric: true, parameters: { u: new grapher.generator.Sequence(-PI, PI, PI / 20), v: new grapher.generator.Sequence(0, PI, PI / 20) }, xAxis: { data: function (u, v) { return sin(u) * sin(v); } }, yAxis: { data: function (u, v) { return sin(u) * cos(v); } }, zAxis: { data: function (u, v) { return cos(u); } }, autoRotate: false });
Another mollusc shell example in which equations are much more complex will show you the fun and fascination of parameteric surface.
var cos = Math.cos; var sin = Math.sin; var pow = Math.pow; var Sequence = grapher.generator.Sequence; var surface = new grapher.Surface(canvas, { parametric: true, parameters: { u: new Sequence(0, Math.PI * 2, Math.PI / 30), v: new Sequence(-15, 6, 0.21) }, xAxis: { data: function (u, v) { return pow(1.16, v) * cos(v) * (1 + cos(u)); } }, yAxis: { data: function (u, v) { return -pow(1.16, v) * sin(v) * (1 + cos(u)); } }, zAxis: { data: function (u, v) { return -2 * pow(1.16, v) * (1 + sin(u)); } }, autoRotate: false });
Surface Color
Points on the surface can be colored differently to make the graph more clearly and beautiful.
For each point in the surface with coordx
, y
, z=f(x, y)
. We define the color on it is C(x, y, z)
.
Color function
As described before, color is a function of x
, y
, z
. And more generally we want the x
, y
, z
to be a percent value from 0 to 1 to make the color mapping more convenient. Like the following example
color: function (x0, y0, z0, x, y, z) {
var round = Math.round;
return 'rgb(' + round(x0 * 255) + ',' + round(y0 * 255) + ',' + round(z0 * 255) + ')';
}
First three parameters are the percent value of x
, y
, z
. Second three parameters are the real value.
If we apply the color function to the mollusc shell example.
Here is the logo!
Color Gradient
Default color function in Grapher.js
is a linear gradient from smaller z value to larger z value. Which can be described with a list of color strings. Following configuration will have a gradient from light grey to deep grey.
color: ['#eee', '#111']
Full Option of Surface
{
// Line width of x, y, z axis
axisLineWidth: 3,
// Line width of axis outline wireframe
axisWireframeLineWidth: 1,
// Line color of axis outline wireframe
axisWireframeLineColor: 'grey',
// If show wireframe of surface
showWireframe: true,
// Surface wireframe color
wireframeLineColor: '#111',
// Surface wireframe line width
wireframeLineWidth: 1,
// Camera projection, 'orthographic' or 'perspective'
projection: 'orthographic',
// Choose renderer, default is 'auto', which will use WebGL renderer
// If possible. You can force it using canvas renderer by setting value
// 'canvas'
renderer: 'auto',
// If autorotate the scene
autoRotate: true,
// If surface is parametric
parametric: false,
// Color gradient or color function
color: ['red', 'green'],
// U, V Sequence of parametric equation
// If parametric is true
parameters: {
u: new Sequence(0, 1, 0.05),
v: new Sequence(0, 1, 0.05)
},
xAxis: {
// Line color of x axis
lineColor: '#f00'l,
data: new Sequence(0, 1, 0.05)
},
yAxis: {
// Line color of y axis
lineColor: '#0f0',
data: new Sequence(0, 1, 0.05)
},
zAxis: {
// Line color of z axis
lineColor: '#00f',
data: function (x, y) { return 1; }
}
};


McCarthy: Schiff Is Lying About Not Knowing Whistleblower | Breitbart
by Ian HanchettDuring a press conference on Thursday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) accused House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) of lying about not knowing the identity of the whistleblower.
McCarthy said, “Adam Schiff and his staff met with the whistleblower. Adam Schiff and his staff met with this whistleblower before this whistleblower had an attorney, before this whistleblower went to the inspector general.”
MSNBC Correspondent Garrett Haake then asked McCarthy if he thinks Schiff is lying about not knowing the whistleblower’s identity.
McCarthy responded, “Yes.”
He added, “I don’t think it’s the first time he’s lied to us either.”
