This package contains all the interfaces and classes used by both the client and server sides of the transparent JCR-RMI layer. The compiled contents of this package should thus be included in both client and server installations. Note also that RMI stubs and skeletons need to be generated for all the remote interfaces when using old JDK versions (stubs for JDK < 1.5, skeletons for JDK < 1.2).
The interfaces in this package are remote versions of the corresponding interfaces in the javax.jcr packages. They are used by the adapter classes in the .rmi.client and .rmi.server packages. The server classes adapt local JCR objects to the remote interfaces, and the client classes adapt the resulting remote references back to the JCR interfaces.
The SerialValue class is a decorator utility used by both the client and server classes to safely pass Value objects over the network.


"FALLOW-DEER" Deuteronomy 14:5 (R.V., “Wild goat”); 1 Kings 4:23(R.V., “roebucks”). This animal, called in Hebrew yahmur, from a word meaning “to be red,” is regarded by some as the common fallow-deer, the Cervus dama, which is said to be found very generally over Western and Southern Asia. It is called “fallow” from its pale-red or yellow colour. Some interpreters, however, regard the name as designating the bubale, Antelope bubale, the “wild cow” of North Africa, which is about the size of a stag, like the hartebeest of South Africa. A species of deer has been found at Mount Carmel which is called yahmur by the Arabs. It is said to be similar to the European roebuck.

Another Reason That Feedster Rocks
Here. When asked properly, Feedster will return search results in RSS format. That means that I can subscribe to RSS feeds for topics that I care about in the blogisphere without having to spend any time surfing to feedster.com.
When combined with recent versions of SharpReader that has built in support for Feedster, I can enter a search term directly in SR, press Enter, press Subscribe, and I've got myself another "intelligent agent" to go along with the ones I'm already using [1-2].
Why doesn't Google provide their results in RSS? Anyone built an RSS gateway for Google yet?

More often than not I find myself coming to the conclusion that, with regards to ethics, it matters less what you do, and more how you do it. Particularly how you think about whatever it is you’re doing. I know a lot of people who would say “but Ben, I’m a realist and a utilitarian! The only thing that matters is what you do and the subsequent series of events that follows as a result of the thing you’ve done!” These people disregard intentionality, which isn’t to be underestimated. But more importantly they disregard the most notable player in the inescapable, inexplicable, intoxicating inward journey that serves as a foundation for all ethical behavior: thought. Do you care enough to think really hard about what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it? Do you care enough to think really hard about those thoughts and what they mean? Do you care enough to attempt to draw conclusions from those thoughts and act accordingly? Utilitarian and consequentialist ethicists spend far too much time either wasting time over semantics that don’t actually matter, or rationalizing their behavior after the fact. They don’t care enough to think, and therefore miss the point entirely. You might say, in response to this claim, that, on the contrary, they think too much! They get into the weeds of the consequential results of their actions, before acting. This overly pragmatic analytic state of mind is not what I mean by “thinking”. Examining each branch in a tree of decision making as if it were some high school math problem does not suffice for summing up the ethical ethos that comes along with the human condition. The thoughts of men like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill are useful (one would hope utilitarianism would live up to its own name) in so far as they help guide very simple, day-to-day decision making, especially when it comes to the realms of enterprise and governing. And if you take their writing seriously and don’t misinterpret, it can be a good conduit for further thought. They’ve given what I find the be the only legitimate base for coming anywhere close to a quantifiable metric of morality, human suffering. But the utility that most people glean from their half-hour skim of utilitarianism ceases to be useful when confronted with any kind of complicated ethical question, which all ethical questions are if you care enough to think about them. Those that take utilitarianism as an end in itself may be able to make it through their life relatively happy, but they’ll never ascend to moral self-actualization. Self-actualization here described poorly (I can’t describe what I haven’t achieved) as becoming as ethical as one can possibly be. Only personal belief and thought can lead you to the peak of that mountain. Utilitarianism serves as an important stepping stone, a truly great foundation upon which to build your moral compass. But you have to actually believe it. As I stated, most who call themselves “utilitarians” don’t actually follow utilitarian ideals. Through story, metaphor, artistic expression, etc… we begin to grasp at what truly makes us human, and we begin to actually shape our ideology past the point of simple utilitarianism.
Sports, especially modern sports, embody this concept particularly well. By and large the way we do sports in America exists as altogether overly extravagant and unwarranted. The tailgates, fireworks, marketing campaigns, etc… it’s all done with that typical grandiose American flare. And yet I still watch sports. What’s worse, I still enjoy watching sports. Despite the constant hate poured on them from members of my community (believe it or not computer science nerds who play Dungeons and Dragons aren’t huge on athletic competition), sports still speak to me. They may speak on a primal level of valuing strength, grit, and determination. Or perhaps on a level of sheer jealousy and outrage that I can’t do the physical feats I see professional athletes doing. They may just speak to me on a completely superficial level of enjoyment and escapism. Or all of the above. Whatever the case, at the end of the day I find myself enjoying sports more than I think I should.
Which brings me to my big question: why shouldn’t I enjoy them?  I find that answer insufficient. Though I trust their opinion, I’d still like to form my own. Perhaps because of the violence that they promote? Teaching our youth that it’s okay to hit each other as long as there’s a ball and some goal posts involved? But that too seems wrong. There are referees watching and enforcing fairness and sportsmanship. Any unwarranted act of violence gets called out. And besides, violence is a part of being a human. I don’t buy into the first-world idea of putting blinders on and pretending that violence isn’t happening or that it doesn’t exist or even that it shouldn’t exist. If anything, sports allow for us to express that which makes us human in a more restricted, civilized manner. Friedrich Nietzsche, in his book The Gay Science, said “Examine the life of the best and most productive men and nations, and ask yourselves whether a tree which is to grow proudly skywards can dispense with bad weather and storms. Whether misfortune and opposition, or every kind of hatred, jealousy, stubbornness, distrust, severity, greed, and violence do not belong to the favourable conditions without which a great growth even of virtue is hardly possible?”.  The miracles of human evolution and expansion can’t have possibly been realized without all of the “negative” aspects, including violence. The technology and other capitalist marvels that could serve to help a great number of people only exist because of it. So by allowing us to express these ugly aspects of greatness with fewer ramifications, sports help to smooth over and clean the rough, greasy, disgusting underside of our humanity while not hampering our growth. In fact, they may push growth even further. There are problems that come along with this growth and expansion, obviously. Terrible and sickening problems. Sports is an example of something that helps alleviate some of them.
Another common complaint I hear about sports surrounds the “hero worship” of those with athletic ability. Some think that idolizing people who do nothing but play sports is unhealthy, and we should instead idolize based on the contents of people’s character. This allows sports stars to get away with rape, domestic abuse, child abuse, and murder, because people idolize them so much that in their minds sports stars couldn’t possibly do these horrible things. Not to mention all the money that the execs and CEOs of various sports franchises would lose if their players were actually held accountable for their actions. Maybe that’s why I shouldn’t enjoy sports. But I posit that worshipping work ethic is exactly what’s allowed for humanity to achieve anything at all, and that the work ethic demonstrated by professional athletes speaks to their character. Naturally I don’t condone the behavior of people like Ben Roethlisberger or Adrian Peterson; what they and many others have done is unforgivable and they absolutely should be brought to justice. That being said, the preferential treatment of certain people is a problem that’s inherent within our socio-economic system, not our games. Sports simply bring these symptoms of a larger problem to light. If sports were to exist in what many would consider a more ethical fashion, one where they were smaller, and no one idolized the players to the extent they do in the real world, then society would find a new group of people to idolize and to get off the hook whenever they did something wrong. There would be other Ben Roethlisbergers and Adrian Petersons out there in different arenas of life. You can’t blame the hero worship itself, you have to blame the container for it. Hero worship actually exists as a really positive influence on individual lives. I’m a big Denver Broncos fan, so obviously whenever I think about hero worship I think about Von Miller. When I see Von Miller I don’t see a man, I see a machine. One that shows up every day, does the work, puts in the time, pushes his body to its absolute limits despite the temporary pain it might cause him. It’s inspiring. Seeing this person who’s become an absolute wrecking machine awakens something within me, and, I assume, with the rest of his captive audience. It shows that through sheer power of will we can become greater than anything we’d ever thought possible before. Take that and extrapolate it to any other aspect of life and you see the appeal. We control our own destiny, our lives are in our hands. To me that’s beautiful. So what, then, is the real problem here? Why do I still feel itchy about sports and competition?
Like I said the real problems with sports in America have less to do with sports themselves and more to do with all the other problems surrounding the sports. Thinking of sports in their “pure” unmarketed form, like handball as it existed in ancient Rome or something similar, doesn’t evoke the same discomfort that thinking of modern sports does. In popularizing sports in America we’ve allowed sports to become a conduit for a lot of deeper societal problems. This expands to a lot more problems than just hero worship and violence. One that pops into my mind has to do with capitalism, and income inequality. The professionals who play sports get paid way too much. On average, professional basketball players in the NBA make $5.15 million per year, baseball players in the MLB make $3.2 million, hockey players in the NHL make $2.4 million, and football players in the NFL make $1.9 million. Besides the fact that it’s backwards and the two coolest sports (hockey and football) are at the lower end of the spectrum, all the numbers are way too high. Humans legitimately just don’t need to make that much in any context. One of the fundamental concepts of my ethical belief system is to each according to their need. Unfortunately the free market allows for some to get far more than they need while others starve and die. We’ve solidified sports as a fundamental keystone in our capitalist economic system, and intertwining the two produces disastrous consequences on a daily basis. The competition sports offers has become indistinguishable from American capitalist competition, an embodiment of social darwinism. The two aren’t necessarily mutually inclusive, but in the case of modern society they correlate. The olympics, as an example, began as a phenomenon based around the essence of the bestial nature of being human, reducing society as a whole to an organized and civilized menagerie. That beautiful, “primitive” marvel of human spirit and grit transformed under capitalism into an unending quantifiable measurement of individual progress. Why do you think sports commentators are constantly rattling off statistics for individual players? It’s no longer about embracing what’s human within us at a base level, now it’s about the elimination of opponents through victory achieved by a markedly better result. Tack on the marketing, exploitation, and inequality that comes inherent in capitalism and you’ve got yourself a truly horrifying reality. The olympics now are a blight upon whatever city is unlucky enough to have the “honor” of hosting them. Cities spend huge amounts of money making themselves nice enough to be able to host, so much that they couldn’t possibly break even from the games themselves. Instead they’re left with the unused fancy new golf courses, stadiums, and soccer pitches that they built, costing them millions of dollars and returning nothing back to the community. Rio De Janeiro, the host of the 2016 olympic games, is projected to be paying off its debt for the next two decades at least. Meanwhile the local civilians of these cities, many of whom are already not very well off, struggle even more than they otherwise would have. All so America, China, Russia, and other superpower nations can carry home more shiny necklaces. It’s sickening, there’s no getting around it. As long as capitalism, particularly global capitalism, exists sports will be a struggle for survival for the poorer nations and athletes, and a struggle for dominance for the richer nations and athletes. The purpose is no longer the preservation of the human spirit through grit and determination, as would’ve been the case with wrestlers, swimmers, runners, weightlifters, etc... in Ancient Sumer, Egypt, Greece, and even Rome (though that’s where it began its descent with the advent of chariot racing and gladiator battles that often involved slavery). It’s now the preservation of the ruling order through measurable domination.
Further proof of the ethical abasement of sports and athletic competition lies within the education systems in this country. Examining amateur, or pre-professional as I like to call them, sports within our schools reveals that we can draw the similar conclusions surrounding capitalism and profit-driven enterprise as the main negative influence. Sports-oriented universities, colloquially referred to as the “Big 10” schools, rake in cash on the backs of the labor of their student athletes. They pulled in $315 million in 2012 from sporting events alone, which excludes merchandise sales and god knows what else. The students who actually do the work, put in the time, and make themselves eligible candidates for the hero worship I was talking about earlier get paid nothing. How is it that they get paid nothing when professional athletes can be so grossly overpaid? It’s obvious to me that were the owners of professional sports franchises given the opportunity, they would undoubtedly be happy to pay their employees nothing. The owners of colleges are no different, they’ve simply found a better way to game the system. All they have to do is wrap a school around their disgusting business and suddenly they’re free to exploit the labor of the athletes while consuming all of the surplus value for themselves. Sure the athletes may get reimbursement in the form of education (only about 70% of the students do), but that seems to me like further means of entrapment. How could they possibly keep that system going? Wouldn’t people see through the facade? No! Because again, sports are ingrained within our socio-economic system so far that they’ve wedged themselves into our ethical system as well. We brainwash children from a young age and force them to think that sports are everything, sports are what you should strive towards, sports are what you should be doing after school, all day, every day. It doesn’t take long for it to become an activity that they do in school, for the school. The transition is so fluid that they don’t even realize they’re doing it for free. It’s a strange case of Stockholm syndrome where the captives don’t even know that they’re captives. We build our entire social hierarchy around this abhorrent reality and normalize the exploitation at the expense of those doing the work so that a few higher-ups within the business of college can continue to line their pockets with the blood, sweat, and tears of the students they claim to be helping. For sports to even flirt with ethics, they need to be eliminated from education. We have to make them extra-curricular, divorce them from schools, and actually pay the people who are providing the value.
Besides education other problematic aspects prevail within modern sports surrounding rivalries and the strange and unhealthy dynamic they provoke. If you’ve ever seen a Boston Red Sox fan talk about people from New York you know what I’m talking about. People make large sweeping judgment about entire regions, even within the same country, without knowing anything about the people or culture from those regions, and immediately cast judgment upon them. When fist fights break out simply because one person supports Team A and another supports Team B, when it gets ingrained from a young age that people from your rival city are bad no matter what, that’s when you know there’s something wrong. But even past the sheer physical violence of it all, there’s something more. A strange sub-nationalistic ethos that promotes a “we can do no wrong” mentality. Implemented in large part by the owners and organizers of the various sports associations and franchises, rivalries primarily exist again as a way to line the pockets of the proverbial bourgeoisie. They pit fans against one another, fostering violence and unhealthy attitudes, so that people will spend more money on tickets, jerseys, stadiums, and whatever else. It’s all just a way of expanding the business. And sure, the excitement that rivalries bring to sports can help make it more entertaining for the viewer. It could be argued that the surplus value sports generates is a direct result of it being a more compelling product. But is it really worth it? For the hatred of violence, for the uncanny pack mentality, for the cult-like brainwashing that occurs? To me, it can’t be worth it, not so long as sports exist as a giant corporate money-making machine. The worst aspect is that rivalries, being inherently exiting, tend to attract people who otherwise wouldn’t get excited about athletics for any reason. They could’ve been introduced to sports as a way of expressing their humanity, instead they see it only as a way to hate on other states, cities, and towns.
So while some might argue that sports in America have a net positive influence on the world through the excitement and entertainment they provide, and others might argue that sports in America have a net negative influence through the violence and hero worship they promote, there actually exists a much more prominent ethical culture surrounding athletic competition. One that’s based in raw traditionalist capitalist profiteering. My hope is that you, reader, will look past the surface level of ethical dialect and instead see the culture, expression, and environment that sports occupy. I don’t hate sports, if you got that idea from reading this post then you need to go back and read it again. On the contrary I love athletics. I encourage all to forever expel the idea of sports fans as being sloppy, violent people, and sports as being a conduit for the moral degradation of society. On the contrary, society is a conduit for the moral degradation of sports.

In computed tomography, the tomography reconstruction problem is to obtain a tomographic slice image from a set of projections [1]. A projection is formed by drawing a set of parallel rays through the 2D object of interest, assigning the integral of the object’s contrast along each ray to a single pixel in the projection. A single projection of a 2D object is one dimensional. To enable computed tomography reconstruction of the object, several projections must be acquired, each of them corresponding to a different angle between the rays with respect to the object. A collection of projections at several angles is called a sinogram, which is a linear transform of the original image.
The inverse Radon transform is used in computed tomography to reconstruct a 2D image from the measured projections (the sinogram). A practical, exact implementation of the inverse Radon transform does not exist, but there are several good approximate algorithms available.
As the inverse Radon transform reconstructs the object from a set of projections, the (forward) Radon transform can be used to simulate a tomography experiment.
This script performs the Radon transform to simulate a tomography experiment and reconstructs the input image based on the resulting sinogram formed by the simulation. Two methods for performing the inverse Radon transform and reconstructing the original image are compared: The Filtered Back Projection (FBP) and the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART).
See also
As our original image, we will use the Shepp-Logan phantom. When calculating the Radon transform, we need to decide how many projection angles we wish to use. As a rule of thumb, the number of projections should be about the same as the number of pixels there are across the object (to see why this is so, consider how many unknown pixel values must be determined in the reconstruction process and compare this to the number of measurements provided by the projections), and we follow that rule here. Below is the original image and its Radon transform, often known as its _sinogram_:
from __future__ import print_function, division
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from skimage.io import imread
from skimage import data_dir
from skimage.transform import radon, rescale
image = imread(data_dir + "/phantom.png", as_grey=True)
image = rescale(image, scale=0.4)
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4.5))
plt.subplot(121)
plt.title("Original")
plt.imshow(image, cmap=plt.cm.Greys_r)
theta = np.linspace(0., 180., max(image.shape), endpoint=True)
sinogram = radon(image, theta=theta, circle=True)
plt.subplot(122)
plt.title("Radon transform\n(Sinogram)")
plt.xlabel("Projection angle (deg)")
plt.ylabel("Projection position (pixels)")
plt.imshow(sinogram, cmap=plt.cm.Greys_r,
extent=(0, 180, 0, sinogram.shape[0]), aspect='auto')
plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.4, wspace=0.5)
plt.show()
The mathematical foundation of the filtered back projection is the Fourier slice theorem [2]. It uses Fourier transform of the projection and interpolation in Fourier space to obtain the 2D Fourier transform of the image, which is then inverted to form the reconstructed image. The filtered back projection is among the fastest methods of performing the inverse Radon transform. The only tunable parameter for the FBP is the filter, which is applied to the Fourier transformed projections. It may be used to suppress high frequency noise in the reconstruction. skimage provides a few different options for the filter.
from skimage.transform import iradon
reconstruction_fbp = iradon(sinogram, theta=theta, circle=True)
error = reconstruction_fbp - image
print('FBP rms reconstruction error: %.3g' % np.sqrt(np.mean(error**2)))
imkwargs = dict(vmin=-0.2, vmax=0.2)
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4.5))
plt.subplot(121)
plt.title("Reconstruction\nFiltered back projection")
plt.imshow(reconstruction_fbp, cmap=plt.cm.Greys_r)
plt.subplot(122)
plt.title("Reconstruction error\nFiltered back projection")
plt.imshow(reconstruction_fbp - image, cmap=plt.cm.Greys_r, **imkwargs)
plt.show()
Algebraic reconstruction techniques for tomography are based on a straightforward idea: for a pixelated image the value of a single ray in a particular projection is simply a sum of all the pixels the ray passes through on its way through the object. This is a way of expressing the forward Radon transform. The inverse Radon transform can then be formulated as a (large) set of linear equations. As each ray passes through a small fraction of the pixels in the image, this set of equations is sparse, allowing iterative solvers for sparse linear systems to tackle the system of equations. One iterative method has been particularly popular, namely Kaczmarz’ method [3], which has the property that the solution will approach a least-squares solution of the equation set.
The combination of the formulation of the reconstruction problem as a set of linear equations and an iterative solver makes algebraic techniques relatively flexible, hence some forms of prior knowledge can be incorporated with relative ease.
skimage provides one of the more popular variations of the algebraic reconstruction techniques: the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (SART) [1] [4]. It uses Kaczmarz’ method [3] as the iterative solver. A good reconstruction is normally obtained in a single iteration, making the method computationally effective. Running one or more extra iterations will normally improve the reconstruction of sharp, high frequency features and reduce the mean squared error at the expense of increased high frequency noise (the user will need to decide on what number of iterations is best suited to the problem at hand. The implementation in skimage allows prior information of the form of a lower and upper threshold on the reconstructed values to be supplied to the reconstruction.
from skimage.transform import iradon_sart
reconstruction_sart = iradon_sart(sinogram, theta=theta)
error = reconstruction_sart - image
print('SART (1 iteration) rms reconstruction error: %.3g'
% np.sqrt(np.mean(error**2)))
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8.5))
plt.subplot(221)
plt.title("Reconstruction\nSART")
plt.imshow(reconstruction_sart, cmap=plt.cm.Greys_r)
plt.subplot(222)
plt.title("Reconstruction error\nSART")
plt.imshow(reconstruction_sart - image, cmap=plt.cm.Greys_r, **imkwargs)
# Run a second iteration of SART by supplying the reconstruction
# from the first iteration as an initial estimate
reconstruction_sart2 = iradon_sart(sinogram, theta=theta,
image=reconstruction_sart)
error = reconstruction_sart2 - image
print('SART (2 iterations) rms reconstruction error: %.3g'
% np.sqrt(np.mean(error**2)))

plt.title("Reconstruction\nSART, 2 iterations")

We have adapted a set of classification algorithms, also known as machine learning, to the identification of fluid and gel domains close to the main transition of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers. Using atomistic molecular dynamics conformations in the low and high temperature phases as learning sets, the algorithm was trained to categorise individual lipid configurations as fluid or gel, in relation with the usual two-states phenomenological description of the lipid melting transition. We demonstrate that our machine can learn and sort lipids according to their most likely state without prior assumption regarding the nature of the order parameter of the transition. Results from our machine learning study provide strong support in favour of a two-states model approach of membrane fluidity.

chapter 11

Chapter XIAnd now we come back to those questions with which this narrative of facts in life set out. Are there any more happy women left on this good green earth ? Do all those married wish to escape from the cage? Do all those unmarried wish to break into the cage? Is suffering, such suffering as Jean Ingelow * and Felicia Hemans * voiced , a necessary part of woman 's lot? Is there any virtue, except the virtue of the sheep-type, cowed through stupidity , or timidity , in suffering by women ? Does that suffering help or hurt the race ? Is there a reason on earth why any child should be born in sadness, instead of gladness, with the taint of sadness in its blood and the shadow of tragedy across its soul, instead of that joy and light which brood over the dawn of all nature's days ? Is the unrest among women a revolt; or an awakening? Or is it a re adjustment to new conditions?
And these questions are all answered before they are asked. You have but to strip the facts behind them free of pretence and argument; and the interrogation mark behind the question changes to an exclamation of glad surprise. Women are to -day what they have been throughout the history of the race - good wives, good mothers, good " pals, ” good sweet hearts, good sisters. Women in industry are no new thing. Women have been in industry since time began; and the women, who have gone out to factory , to office , to school room , to hospital, to clinic, to platform are but doing, outside the home, what their mothers and grandmothers did inside the home. To take three-quarters of woman 's vocations outside the home, and to leave her with manacled hands inside the home, would be to let her beat her life out against the cave wall of a prison cell in an idleness that would be madness.
What, then , of the unrest? What of the wail of woe from the married ; from the un married ; from the idle , who want to work ; and the workers, who want to idle ? Growth is attended with growing pains. Children awakening have been known to be querelous *. Ma chinery being readjusted often creaks and jolts. The hour of all the twenty - four, when the fever falls and the patient takes the turn to recovery and strength is always the darkest hour, just before the dawn. If you know anything about the wonderful secret life of the dumb creation , you will know it is the hour when the animals turn restlessly , when the deer steal from their thickets , when the song birds stab the night air with strange notes before the chorus that greets full day.
So do I see it of our own age! Consider the marvelous complexities of the age in which we live !
Formerly, when a woman wished a garment, she carded her own wool. She spun over her own loom . She sewed the cloth with her own hands. To-day, she must not only go out of the home to spin the wool; but she can spin only by permission of the owner of a huge machine, often only by permission of a huge corporation , which controls the means of livelihood of thousands like herself. So of the other vocations that have gone out of the home. Service , she seeks ; Service of the Race , which is the only avenue to Happiness for any human being, rich or poor, fit or misfit ; and that Service she can obtain only by the permission of some other human being. Sometimes she fails to find it altogether, whether she be rich or poor, married or single. Then , there results the scrap heap, the untellable tragedy of an utterly wasted life , the desert-dried soul, wind -tossed and tempestuous *, drab-gray as the arid dust unwatered by the gladness of giving and getting happiness, whether in the passion ate ecstasies of love, or those other as passionate ecstasies of devotion to some work. Is it any wonder there are jolt, clamor, discord ? The seekers for Service are lost seeking — that is all ; and he, or she, who can shed one shaft of radiance to light them to their place, will be the truest helper of to -day . I do not think the scolds will do much. Women are asking “ What must I do to be saved ; to be saved from Self ? ” “ What must I do to find some thing to do that is worth while ?  Women are asking — “ What must I do to be saved from Self ; to find something to do that is worth while ” ; and for bread and meat and light, the scolds are proffering the serpent-envenomed tongue lashing of an ancient fish -wife . I am not keen on the scolds. I don't think they will get us anywhere, for the simple reason that what has happened has not resulted from conscious choice . It has resulted from the compulsion of necessity .
Take the unnatural conditions under which much industry is conducted ! There are factories where as many as 9,000 men are employed without a single woman . There are factories where as many as 5 ,000 women are employed under a few dozen men . The grand fathers and grandmothers of these men and women worked together in their vocations. In America, they even worked together in their Indian Wars * and the subjugation of the wilderness ; in monastic foundation and Quaker assembly * . To-day, such industrial life has bifurcated * the race , with detriment that need not be given here. How we shall work it out remains to be seen ; but one highest Service to the Race is practically handicapped . Is it surprising there results unrest?
And we are no longer going it blind . Afore time, the imbecile was ascribed to the mysterious Will of God . ( I know of twelve imbeciles in one reformatory born of one degenerate mother, all ascribed under the old order to that mysterious Will of a capricious * God.) The unfit, the prenatal failures, the prenatal criminals all were ascribed to Deity . We no longer utter these pious blasphemies. We stand up to the realization of our own human sins and blunders. We are doing so much to protect the unfit, we realize that if we do not lessen the supply, our race will be swamped ; and that brings us under one of the most piercing searchlights that ever illuminated the path of the race. Searchlights as a rule are supposed to light up the path behind . This one searches the way to the fore. We demand not only the protection of the unfit, but the protection of the unborn. This may mean a decreased birth rate as to numbers. We can stand a decreased birth rate as to quantity if it means a higher average as to quality . Athens, not China, typifies civilization for us.
Nor do I see a symptom of decadence * in modern divorce . We called appendicitis by an other name long ago and let the patient die . To-day, we apply the surgeon's knife and save the life . I see in divorce not evidence of secret vice, but a life-saving knife. The Service of the Race is the only criterion by which we can judge it; and God is served best, not by kow -towing to what others may think, not by taking out an insurance policy for ourselves to secure a future Heaven of which we can know nothing , but by securing as much as possible of the Kingdom of Heaven for others and our selves on this earth.
Granted it may all mean a new chivalry, a new womanhood, a new race, a new religion . Have we so little faith in the old that we fear for the full flower that may burgeon in the new ?

Press release
Expert group and Teaching Schools Council to take forward work to improve initial teacher training systems in England.
An independent expert group, chaired by Stephen Munday CBE , Chief Executive of Comberton Academy Trust, and the Teaching Schools Council have been commissioned to lead vital work to improve the quality of initial teacher training ( ITT ) courses in England, the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan announced today (24 March 2015).
On 19 January, Sir Andrew Carter published his review of the quality and effectiveness of ITT courses in England. The report highlighted that the system in England is performing well but that more needed to be done to ensure all trainees receive some core grounding in the basics of classroom management and subject knowledge. The report made 18 recommendations to government and the ITT sector.
In response to the report the government confirmed that it will:
commission an independent working group made up of expert representatives from the sector to develop a core ITT framework - to support those who deliver ITT as well as applicants and trainees to have a better understanding of the essential elements of good ITT core content
commission the Teaching Schools Council to develop a new set of aspirational standards for school-based ITT mentors - to help promote the importance of the role and create a better shared understanding of the characteristics of effective mentoring across the ITT sector
Announcing the formal appointment of the expert group and the Teaching Schools Council to take forward this important work today, Nicky Morgan said:
I was really pleased that Sir Andrew Carter’s report highlighted that overall the ITT system in England is performing well.
We want to continue to ensure we have excellent teachers in our classrooms to prepare young people for life in modern Britain. That is why we have committed to taking forward these important recommendations to help drive up improvements in the ITT system further.
I’m delighted to appoint Stephen Munday to chair the independent expert group to lead the work on developing a new ITT course content framework, and The Teaching Schools Council to develop new standards for ITT mentors.
Stephen Munday CBE said:
I am delighted to be able to work with colleagues on this really important development. We will seek to bring together our various areas of experience and expertise together with the thoughts and input of many others involved in initial teacher training in order to produce something of real use and value for future ITT provision.
Vicky Beer CBE , Chair of the Teaching Schools Council, said:
I am delighted that the Teaching Schools Council has been asked to lead on this really important work. Teaching Schools are at the heart of the government’s drive to give schools more freedom and to enable schools to take increasing responsibility for managing the education system. The Teaching Schools Council agree it is absolutely crucial for trainees to have high-quality, school-based mentoring to support them through their initial teacher training, and we look forward to working with teaching schools and ITT experts in developing national standards for mentors.
We expect the independent expert group and the Teaching Schools Council will report to Ministers by the end of 2015.
The expert group supporting the development of the new ITT content framework includes:
In response to the Carter review the government also committed to develop the Get Into Teaching website and provide information about ITT on GOV.UK so that applicants of ITT and schools can find clearer information about provision.

d3graph’s documentation!
The d3graph
library is a Python library that is built on D3 and creates a stand-alone, and interactive force-directed network graph. It allows the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks. The input data is an adjacency matrix for which the columns and indexes are the nodes and the elements with a value of one or larger are considered to be an edge. The output is a single HTML file that contains the interactive force-directed graph. d3graph
has several features, among them a slider that can break the edges of the network based on the edge value, a double click on a node will highlight the node and its connected edges and many more options to customize the network based on the edge and node properties.

Unused Iron Man Concept Art Teases Tony Stark/Pepper Potts Romance
by Berek BigosWith Marvel Studios' Infinity Saga having come to a close, one of the studios' artists provided a look back on the franchise's humble beginnings with the reveal of concept art for 2008's Iron Man.
Marvel Studios' Head of Visual Development, Ryan Meinerding, initially revealed the art on social media. "Here is an unused version of Tony being stuck in the suit up gantry from the first Iron Man," he wrote. "I was trying to suggest a bit of a romantic moment between Pepper and Tony." Although not too different from the version seen on screen, the image shows a distressed Tony Stark being assisted out of his armor's gantry by personal assistant Pepper Potts.
Despite Tony Stark meeting his maker at the end of Avengers: Endgame, Robert Downey Jr. will be making a brief return for an episode of What If...?, Marvel Studios' first animated series coming to Disney+ in 2021. As for Pepper Potts, Gwyneth Paltrow has stated in the past that she does not plan on any more MCU appearances following Endgame.
Directed by Jon Favreau, Iron Man released in 2008 as the first film from Marvel Studios. The film stars Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Terrence Howard as James Rhodes, and Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane.

@Sebastian Ullrich Help! I'm looking at upgrading to 3.4.0, but one of the recent commits introduced a bug that breaks a lot of mathlib stuff. I'm a bit worried I will have to abandon 3.4 and stick to nightlies unless it is fixed.
def f : ℕ → ℕ := λ _, 0 theorem A (x : ℕ) : f x = 0 := rfl theorem B (x : ℕ) : (f : _) x = 0 := rfl theorem C (x : ℕ) : (f : ℕ → ℕ) x = 0 := rfl example (x) : f x = 0 := by simp [A] --ok example (x) : f x = 0 := by have := A x; rw this --ok example (x) : f x = 0 := by simp [B] --fails example (x) : f x = 0 := by have := B x; rw this --fails example (x) : f x = 0 := by simp [C] --fails example (x) : f x = 0 := by have := C x; rw this --fails
Oh, it's not a bug, it's typed_expr
. What is the purpose of this thing?
and how do I get my type ascriptions back?
@Mario Carneiro typed_expr
*is* the new type ascription. I'm investigating what's happening here.
I am very relieved to see this answer
because there was always the fear that something had to be changed to make the monad stuff work
and that it couldn't be changed back and Mario's observation was supposed to be the new normal
I found the issue, it's certainly not intended behavior. I'll talk to Leo about it.
@Sebastian Ullrich I have some additional information about what is happening, although you may already know:
(e : t)
, the resulting pexpr contains a constant typed_expr t e
, to record the existence of the type ascription. (I am not sure what it used to be, probably a macro of some kind.)e
, i.e. type ascriptions leave no trace in the resulting term. This property is super important for me. Now, the resulting expr is typed_expr t e
, which breaks many simp lemmas which used type ascriptions to silently correct some intermediate types, since simp doesn't unfold reducibles in simp lemma LHS for matching. (And it probably shouldn't, otherwise this would make it hard to actually get rid of a reducible via a simp lemma.)clean
which is like by exact
but removes all identity functions from the given pexpr after elaboration. I am using this on all simp lemmas that use type ascription. But this is probably not the best solution, and I hope you have luck fixing this. What about just stripping typed_expr
during pexpr -> expr translation?@Mario Carneiro I tried to @ you in the RSS feed, did that not work? https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/116290-rss/subject/Recent.20Commits.20to.20lean.3Amaster/near/125451078
Will there be a Lean 3.4.1 then?
Yes. I'll wait a while to make sure you're not digging up any other obscure issues :D
Sure
There's one more, I need to minimize
It seems Lean could use a rather large test project to test such things...
Like... a math library say
@Sebastian Ullrich Here's problem number 2 from the mathlib update, reasonably minimized:
universe u variables {α : Type u} def X (α : Type u) : Type u := sorry instance {α} : has_mem α (X α) := sorry def ID [decidable_eq α] (s : X α) : X α := sorry theorem mem_ID [decidable_eq α] (a : α) (s : X α) : a ∈ ID s ↔ a ∈ s := sorry def T (m : X α) : Type u := sorry instance decidable_eq_T {m : X α} : decidable_eq (T m) := sorry def F (m : X α) : X (T m) := sorry example {s : X α} {f : T s} : f ∈ ID (F (id s)) ↔ f ∈ F (id s) := by rw [mem_ID]; admit
It derives from finset.mem_pi
, which no longer typechecks in the latest nightly. If anyone is running the 04-06 nightly, could you check that this code typechecks?
Yes, typechecks in nightly-2018-04-06.
It was not a huge problem as far as updating mathlib, it only affected two proofs in mathlib relating to finset.pi
which I just rewrote to be shorter anyway :) but it's still a mystery why this broke since there is nothing obviously related to this in the intervening commits
Here is the pp all error output:
rewrite tactic failed, did not find instance of the pattern in the target expression @has_mem.mem.{?l_1 ?l_1} ?m_2 (X.{?l_1} ?m_2) (@X.has_mem.{?l_1} ?m_2) ?m_3 (@ID.{?l_1} ?m_2 (λ (a b : ?m_2), ?m_4 a b) ?m_5) state: α : Type u, s : X.{u} α, f : @T.{u} α s, m : X.{u} (@T.{u} α s) ⊢ iff (@has_mem.mem.{u u} (@T.{u} α s) (X.{u} (@T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s))) (@X.has_mem.{u} (@T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s))) f (@ID.{u} (@T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s)) (λ (a b : @T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s)), @decidable_eq_T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s) a b) (@F.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s)))) (@has_mem.mem.{u u} (@T.{u} α s) (X.{u} (@T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s))) (@X.has_mem.{u} (@T.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s))) f (@F.{u} α (@id.{u+1} (X.{u} α) s)))
The decidable_eq
argument seems important, and the id s
can be any composite term
oh, I just noticed that f
has the wrong type; if it has type T (id s)
instead of T s
it works. Maybe I minimized too much...
No, that's exactly the issue. The pattern involves two occurrences of ?m_2
in types, which are defeq but not syntactically equal in the target

THE DREAMLIFE OF ANGELS (Sony Pictures Classics) Directed by Erick Zonca.
The mark of a truly good movie isn't necessarily how much you enjoy it while you're sitting in the theater (or on the couch, as the case may be) but how you feel about it days or weeks later. A popcorn extravaganza like "Wild Wild West" may help to kill a couple of hours on a hot day, but it doesn't exactly sweeten in the memory, and if you suffer through a truly bad film you want to start forgetting the experience as quickly as possible.
"The Dreamlife of Angels" is a truly fine piece of work that's certain to linger in your mind for quite awhile. You may find the central characters a little hard to warm up to -- neither of them is likely to be mistaken for Julia Roberts -- but their experiences, their friendship and the difficult lessons they learn are genuinely haunting.
"Angels" is the story of Isa (Elodie Bouchez) and Marie (Natacha Regnier), a pair of young women fending for themselves in a dreary corner of France. Isa sells handmade postcards when she's in between menial temporary jobs; Marie toils in a sweatshop and lives in an apartment that belongs to a hospitalized mother and daughter. Eventually Isa moves in with her and the two begin to find the fun-loving, girlish parts of their personalities they've been forced to suppress, probably for years. They begin hanging out at the mall, trying to crash concerts and flirting playfully with anonymous guys. It's a fulfilling friendship and, since this is a French film, you can rest assured it won't last.
Before long, Marie, who initially seemed like the brighter of the two, has fallen hopelessly for Chris (Gregoire Colin), a slick womanizer who owns some clubs and dazzles her with his seemingly limitless supply of cash. Isa sees through Chris and tries to steer her friend toward a less well-heeled guy who truly adores Marie. Sadly, Marie's self-esteem is so low she'd rather sneak away for a few afternoon trysts in a motel room with Chris than consider spending time with someone who might actually treat her with respect.
Using decidedly unglamorous locales and stars, director Erick Zonca has given the story what amounts to an almost documentary feel; Isa and Marie seem so true-to-life at times you might feel a bit voyeuristic. "Dreamlife" is also a movie less concerned with plot than it is with details and character development. The waifish Isa ultimately becomes wise and self-sufficient while the more domineering Marie gradually collapses from the inside out. Bouchez and Regnier so brilliantly get under the skin of these women and provide them with such vivid personalities that by the end you feel you've known them for years.
Every so often Hollywood tries to Americanize French movies, generally unsuccessfully. Let us pray no one hires Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone to re-do "Dreamlife": That would truly be a nightmare. James Sanford

Arteta will be allowed to join Arsenal
Cape Town - Manchester City assistant manager Mikel Arteta will be allowed to leave the club to join Arsenal in case they approach him, according to reports.
The 37-year-old is being linked again with the top job at the Emirates Stadium, having lost out to Unai Emery last summer in the final selection process.
The Gunners' boss, however, is coming under severe pressure after an underwhelming opening few months to the campaign, with the north Londoners already six points off fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table.
Home supporters certainly voiced their displeasure following last Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a game in which they were largely dominated by the visitors.
Reports claim Emery now has four games to turn things around or the club’s board will decide to show the former Paris Saint-Germain coach the door, just 17 months into his tenure.
It is understood from sources at the Etihad that Arsenal's admiration for Arteta remains high, having initially made him a frontrunner to succeed former boss Arsene Wenger.
The Spaniard turned down the managerial role at Newcastle United this summer, preferring to continue his footballing education alongside Pep Guardiola.
City have made it clear all along to Arteta that they value his contribution since his arrival in 2016, earning an impressive reputation as a result.
The overriding message, though, is they would never dream of standing in the way of the former Glasgow Rangers, Everton and Arsenal midfielder, if he wants to become his own main man, elsewhere.
There have been suggestions Arteta could one day replace Guardiola at City, although it's believed the club's powerbrokers don't envisage such a scenario at such an early stage into his coaching career.

| merge.xts {xts} | R Documentation |
Used to perform merge operation on xts
objects
by time (index). Given the
inherent ordered nature of xts
time-series, a
merge-join style merge allows for optimally efficient
joins.
## S3 method for class 'xts' merge(..., all = TRUE, fill = NA, suffixes = NULL, join = "outer", retside = TRUE, retclass = "xts", tzone = NULL, drop=NULL, check.names=NULL)
... |
one or more xts objects, or objects coercible to class xts |
all |
a logical vector indicating merge type |
fill |
values to be used for missing elements |
suffixes |
to be added to merged column names |
join |
type of database join |
retside |
which side of the merged object should be returned (2-case only) |
retclass |
object to return |
tzone |
time zone of merged object |
drop |
not currently used |
check.names |
not currently used |
This is an xts method compatible with merge.zoo, as xts extends zoo. That documentation should also be referenced. Difference are noted where applicable.
Implemented almost entirely in custom C-level code,
it is possible using either the all
argument or
the join
argument to implement all common
database join operations along the to-be-merged objects
time-index: ‘outer’ (full outer - all rows),
‘inner’ (only rows with common indexes),
‘left’ (all rows in the left object, and those that match in the right),
and ‘right’ (all rows in the right object, and those that match in the left).
The above join types can also be expressed as a vector of
logical values passed to all
. c(TRUE,TRUE) or TRUE for ‘join="outer"’,
c(FALSE,FALSE) or FALSE for ‘join="inner"’, c(TRUE, FALSE) for ‘join="left"’,
and c(FALSE,TRUE) for ‘join="right"’.
Note that the all
and join
arguments imply a two case scenario. For merging
more than two objects, they will simply fall back to a full outer or full inner join,
depending on the first position of all, as
left and right can be ambiguous with respect to sides.
To do something along the lines of merge.zoo's method of joining based on an all argument of the same length of the arguments to join, see the example.
The resultant object will have the timezone of the leftmost
argument if available. Use tzone
to override.
If retclass
is NULL
, the joined objects will be split
and reassigned silently back to the original environment they are called
from. This is for backward compatibility with zoo, though unused
by xts.
If retclass
is FALSE
the object will be stripped of
its class attribute. This is for internal use.
A new xts
object containing the appropriate
elements of the objects passed in to be merged.
This is a highly optimized merge, specifically designed for ordered data. The only supported merging is based on the underlying time index.
