Five years. That's how long Rick and I have been together. Four-and-a-half years. That's how long we have been living together. In other words, people have been asking us when we're getting married for a long time. Now we finally have an answer: this December.
Rick and I last Thanksgiving.
Getting him to smile for the camera is on our wedding to-do list.
Rick and I first met back when we were in college, about nine years ago. We both debated for our respective universities and were competing against each other at a debate tournament. "Was there a spark then? Could you see the chemistry?" people often ask, hoping for an exciting story. There was, in fact, none of that. We debated, he and his partner won, and we went our separate ways.
Three years later, our paths crossed again when we both taught at a summer debate workshop for high school students at my alma matter. Another year passed before we started dating.
By then, the chemistry was obvious. He was funny. He was handsome. He was smart. He cooked. But he wasn't Jewish. I'd always been one of just a handful of Jews in my class until college, though, so I was used to having to explain my customs and holidays.
A year after we started dating, he enrolled in a Ph.D. program some seven-plus hours from the apartment we shared in Brooklyn, and I followed him to Buffalo, New York. We knew we wanted the same things for our future, but decided to table the discussion on the whens and hows of the future until closer to the time he completed his Ph.D. program.
We re-kindled that discussion about a year ago after a three-year hiatus. Most of our conversations started with how we'd raise our children. Despite being raised Baptist, Rick didn't identify with a religion and was perfectly happy to raise them Jewish. He liked the sermons he had heard when he went with me to services during the High Holidays. He liked the Jewish emphasis on tikkun olam, the concept of healing the world.
And in the spring, when I took Rick to his first Jewish—or, to be more precise, Jewish/Catholic—wedding, he liked the Jewish elements of that, too. That weekend and in the weeks that followed, I talked constantly about the wedding and my excitement for the couple, two friends I'd known even before they had begun dating seven years earlier. I had become a total cliché, yet I had no expectations for a proposal. Rick's romantic in his own ways, but I couldn't really see him proposing. In the back of my mind, I think I'd imagined that I would do the asking.
While eating sushi a few weeks later, we talked about the wedding and our own future. Somewhere in that moment, we decided that we, too, were ready to get married. "And we can have a Jewish wedding," he said, knowing how important this was to me and to my family. The certainty in his voice was better than a proposal.
Most people would have immediately called their parents and friends to share news. But Rick insisted we couldn't just tell our parents over the phone when we were going to see them in Texas just a couple of weeks later. And though I'm not good at keeping secrets, I came to see his point. After all, we'd made them wait five years. What were a few more weeks? In the interim, I started looking at rings and snuck peaks at dresses and flowers and possible venues, quietly bookmarking the ones I liked.
The ring this picky bride-to-be finally picked out after a five-week search that spanned two states and the Web.
At the end of May, we went to Texas to visit our respective families, first his in Dallas, then mine in Houston. After telling his family, I couldn't wait any longer to share the news with mine. I called them the next morning, one-by-one. When we got to Houston two days later, the wedding planning began and we (finally!) found the perfect ring. Now, with three-and-a-half months to go until the big day, our lives seem to be governed, in part, by a growing series of check lists: Dress? Check. Rabbi? Check. Ketubah? Working on it.

#INTERVIEW: BILLY CRYSTAL ON "MONSTERS UNIVERSITY"
We are familiar with Billy Crystal as a Funnyman, whether it be for his Golden Globe-nominated work in When Harry Met Sally or City Slickers. Did you know though how personable this nine-time Academy Awards Host really is? In Toronto to promote much-buzzed Monsters University, set ten years prior to the events of Monsters, Inc., the Actor greets a near-capacity room of Journalists on the Rooftop Lobby of his Hotel. A young-looking 65, he has a commanding presence over the room, quickly routing all attentions off him for a moment onto Moderator Richard Crouse's colourful shoes and socks. "Good for you!", says Crystal as quickly our eyes revert back to him. At that moment we realize that despite such a celebrated career which has seen several highs, he's really just one of us.
I set my Alarm Clock extra early to ensure I get to see Crystal greet Fans at City's Breakfast Television and equally he is gracious there to a sizable crowd, stopping to sign Autographs on his way in and out of the appearance. Although I sensed he didn't love doing it, he still obliged for a quick Photo with me and my Dog – named Billy coincidentally – a meeting of three Williams. "He's just super-nice", one smiling Fan tells me as he admires his signed 8×10. Crystal delivers a Master's Class in Celebrity Etiquette, which a far-less accomplished '90s TV Actress who followed him on that Show should register for, sneaking-out a hidden Exit sheepishly.
We learned that Crystal once had aspired to be a Baseball Player which thankfully wasn't meant to be, before graduating from the Film Program at New York University. Despite his scholastic focus being Film, it was Theatre which he claimed as his true passion. He recalls, "I sorta became Mike-ish in the Theatre Department, where we started to really act. We built our own theatre, took the lead on that with a bunch of other people and formed our own Actors' Equity Company. That's where I got my Actors' Card.".
The Mike he is referring to of course is the beloved Character he reprises in Monster's University, Mike Wazowski. "I love this Guy. I actually think this is my most favourite Guy I've never played", he admits. "I love that he's forever positive. I love that he's a Leader of Monsters, has a great sense of humour, stands up for himself and I love that he's cranky too.". This Prequel to $562-million-grossing Monster's, Inc. focuses on how both Mike and his Buddy Sulley (John Goodman) overcome their differences to form a bond a Friendship as A-List Scarers.
On achieving a believable chemistry, Crystal credits fully a close-knit collaborative process with Co-Star Goodman. "We just insisted on being together. The funny moments have a great reparte because we're with each other. In the tender moments like the scene at the lake when Mike realizes it's just not gonna be and he tells Sulley, 'I'm your friend'. It's heartbreaking… we worked together and I think that's why it played-out so well.".
While we're on the topic of scaring, he bares his soul to us admitting that his greatest fear is not being able to spend enough time with his beloved Grandchildren aged ten, seven and three-and-a-half. "I fear not having enough time to do all the things in my life (forgetting my business) that I want to do and accomplish and especially now with these little ones", he says. "In life we never know just how far we're gonna get. Fear is a really great motivator.".
Crystal recalls the first time he had to explain his Celebrity to his Grandchildren. "The Girls and I were walking in the mall and a Paparazzi jumped out and started taking pics and it really freaked them out", he remembers. "I had to explain what I did and that I was internationally famous (laughs), so I showed them Monsters, Inc. and obviously not the Orgasm Scene from When Harry Met Sally! I had to be Mike Wazowski for about a year. Now they see billboards and are kinda used to it.".
On the secret to his longevity in Hollywood, we learned that in addition the ardent support of his Audience, Crystal has been with the same Team since 1974. "They are my second Family. You need to be told the truth – good or bad – and it has to be done in the right way. You have to have someone you know who always is gonna be there for you. That way you can make mistakes but they don't seem so bad.".
Last but not least, he credits his the Woman behind it all. "My Wife Janice and I have been together since 1966, so anytime anything happens good or bad, she's there", he states. "Any moment of self-doubt, she lets me have them and talks me out of them. That's most important.".

The purpose of this article is to help prove that rhinopharyngitis mutilans, keratoma plantare sulcatum, and juxta-articular nodules are all tertiary lesions of Framboesia tropicum or "yaws." For the sake of briefness and clearness, only a few of the most typical cases are described in this article.
Leys (1) in 1906, in Guam, described rhinopharyngitis mutilans for the first time as a destructive ulcerous rhinopharyngitis. Other investigators, Brien (2) and Howard (3), in describing this malady differ in their views only in the matter of the starting point of the ulcer; the ultimate result being the same. These two men together with Musgrave, Marshall (4) and many others are of the opinion, the cause is not syphilis, yet they do not associate it with yaws.
Rhinopharyngitis mutilans has often been confused with gangosa, which means "nasal voice." Nearly all ulcerative processes destructive to the nasal cavity have been considered as gangosa.


How Important is Sketching in Design?
Tapping into your audience/client at key points during the design process can save you a lot of disappointment of the 'big reveal' at the end. Consider this your focus group/feedback session.
Designers, the entire design process is of such meaning to your clients. Don't take this for granted.
This particularly benefits those designers and brands that have long term relationships, have built designer/client partnerships, and/or clients that "pay the bills". Your clients feel more engaged and committed to the final outcome when they are part of the process early on. Involving your clients in the conceptual phase of sketching, communicates your design intent and gives you control over their acceptance of the end result, lessening any chances of 'no interest'. Within the sketching phase, you are able to make revisions and corrections, that save you time compared to the hours of time spent on those changes in Photoshop.
With all the hours spent in the design phase of product development, it's re-assuring that your are headed in the right direction when engaging your client in the process.

Fast & Cheap Fashion Consumption Leads to R.A.G.S.


Graffiti has been an interest of mine since my early days of childhood. The whole urban culture became a part of me and has stuck with me from then. I was always doodling made up tag names and drawing on my bedroom wall, which didn't go down too well with the parents, but boy were they masterpieces in my eyes. Also spending countless hours on graffiti-creator having the best time ever! I have such a passion for graffiti that I even had it as my subject for my dissertation at university! Below is one of the pieces I created featuring the ever so awesome Obama!
Not many know that graffiti is one of the 4 elements of Hip Hop unless they're in on the scene. There is a whole history behind the scribbles and throw ups on the walls of the streets. The remaining 3 elements are DJ-ing, B-boying and MC-ing. Over in the US, The Bronx is known to be the place that graffiti really started having a voice in the 1970s. The youth of the area would paint the subway with their tags to get recognition around the city, as the tagged sub cart would go around. The bigger the better and the more daredevilish the better the chance of being crowned the king. It was also used as a rebellious method against the officials in the city who wouldn't invest in living standards in the Bronx.
Since the 1970's until now, the journey that graffiti has been on is phenomenal! You wouldn't see big brands such as Nike or Adidas using graffiti in their advertisements back then but in this day and age it's become quite the norm to see legal graffiti around or used in guerilla marketing campaigns. There are even spots around many cities in almost every country where graffiti is legal. I have two favourite spots in London, Leake Street Tunnel and a skate spot in Southbank. The walls are forever changing and it's just so nice to watch fellow artists express themselves freely whatever the time may be, there is always someone down there creating something beautiful.
The increase in popularity for graffiti caused the rise of the biggest graffiti and street art festival in Europe called Upfest! It is based in Bristol and happens just one weekend every year since 2008. Volunteers run the festival and its profits go towards a local charity called Nacoa.9 When it started in 2008 there were 40 artists and a few hundred visitors. This year over 700 artists applied, with 350 selected to attend and they were from 43 countries! On top of that there were over 50,000 visitors!10 What a difference, mind, blown.
Let us not forget someone who brought graffiti into the limelight for both positive and negative reasons. The man, the legend, the myth, Banksy. While he isn't my favourite artist, he really managed to open doors and eyes for himself, artists and the public. Causing commotion with his controversial pieces that popped up out of nowhere in busy places created a stir worldwide. His pieces are being sold and not just for a small amount, hundreds of thousands is the most typical price range. His most expensive piece sold to date is 'Keep it Spotless' with a breath-taking price of $1,700,00! Auctioned off on February 14 2008 in New York.11 What a lad.
There is a lot of controversy around the use of graffiti in marketing, but let's be honest, when has graffiti not been a controversial topic? One of the best guerilla marketing campaigns that used graffiti was done by Fox movies for the release of the film 'The Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.12 They hired some of the best graffiti artists in the world to do this and the campaign stretched across their route from Glasgow to Brighton. The interaction from the public with this campaign was a success, beyond what many people thought possible. There were photos going up instantaneously from people passing by and seeing that something interesting and not part of their daily routine was going on. As this was live it was in a constant state of change, which enabled people to see it develop over a few days and it was nice to see the artists in action too. An awareness was created that resonated with the audience, causing the campaign to go viral. The public started noticing that it was about a film, which started to get a lot of talk around it, and people who may not have been very aware of the film definitely knew about it now.
Of course there are people who are completely against graffiti, no matter if it's a guerilla-marketing stunt or a completely legitimate marketing campaign. Just because of the stigma attached to the idea of graffiti they will not accept it. There is even a movement against advertising billboards and murals by the Public Ad Campaign's very own Jordan Seiler, where they go around whitewashing any graffiti associated with advertising.13 I personally find that very disappointing.
Graffiti offers a really unique approach to marketing. It connects to the youth market and grabs their attention – something that can be hard to do these days. What graffiti can also offer is a sense of unity amongst different communities and organisations, especially when young and upcoming graffiti artists are given a large platform to share their work. Involving the community in this way is a great opportunity for brands to show their appreciation for the art form, and as a result, can inspire customer trust. The design of graffiti can evolve in so many ways, not just through paint and markers, but digital projections, screen prints, videos, you name it! Graffiti has no limits, and that's what makes it so special. Conclusion? Hope we see more of it in marketing in 2018!

Center for Women in Church and Society
Karina Martinez
By Karina Martinez
SAN ANTONIO-
Founded in 1892 by the Congregation of Divine Providence, the Center for Women in Church and Society on campus helps tell the neglected stories and contributions of women in our history.
Located in the Elliot House, the center seeks to empower both women and men on campus.
"What we do is bring in women speakers who can inspire our students, not only women, but men too, and to be who God has told them to be. That nothing is impossible," director Jacqueline Walter said.
"The Center for Women in Church and Society, for the school allows women and people in general to be all of their selves. And so we're not just one thing or the other. You can be a spiritual person, you can be a political person," assistant program coordinator Giana Rendon said.
Walter and the staff aim to create an environment in which students can thrive mentally, physically, and spiritually. "There are three components to our mission: leadership, spiritual growth, and to be agents of change," Walter said.
There are multiple ways students can get involved with the Center.
"Students can get involved, actually this week, we're working with DXN. This is domestic violence awareness month, so we're collaborating on an event, The Haunted Truth. So we welcome students if they have a vision or want to partner with us," Walter said.

Students stand up to gun violence despite district crackdown
Catherine Gagulashvili culture editor
On March 14 at 9:57 a.m., approximately 500 students walked out against gun violence. Over a month later, students on campus are still driven to fight against gun violence and will partake in a walkout, that is student-organized and not backed by the administration, on April 20.
The April 20 walkout is the 19-year anniversary of the Columbine School shooting. In memorial of this event, a group of sophomores has joined together with students from other high schools in the Los Angeles area to form the Los Angeles Student Action Coalition (LASAC). Together, they have organized a walkout and protest at Santa Monica City Hall at 11 a.m. The administration has made it clear that walking out during school hours is a violation of the district's attendance policy, and therefore, consequences of leaving school for this event will be equivalent to those of receiving an unexcused absence.
Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy sent out an email to students and parents in order to elucidate administration's stance on this event and the repercussions of participating.
"While our school district supports the first amendment rights of our students, our top priority–as always–is to maintain a safe environment. If a student feels compelled to protest about any topic that is important to them, we encourage students to select an event and time that does not interrupt their learning or potentially cause a disruption at school," Bregy wrote.
The organizers of the walkout realize that the idea of missing school could be a deterrent for some students, but believe that attending the walkout is a worthy cause.
"Some people take school very seriously and missing a day for something other than being sick is a big deal, but this is something bigger. I think it's more important than a day of school; this is our lives. [Ultimately,] it's up to them. We can't force anyone to come," sophomore Ryan Biehl said.
Despite any ramifications, the organizers of the walkout think it's important to bring attention to gun violence and do everything they can to fight it.
"I think walkouts are really important to keep people passionate and keep people involved in the movement and also to bring attention to ourselves," sophomore Penelope Lapaglia said. [We're] saying that we're not going to back down this time."
Biehl simply hopes that they will be able to get people to show up to the walkout and demand an end to gun violence.
"I'm hoping that people show up and they show up because they truly care and not because [they want to miss school,]" Biehl said. "I'm hoping we get a lot of people to show up and really just show our leaders that we want change."

A wise man named Tommy Hilfiger had once said "the road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work, drive and passion, it's possible to achieve the American Dream". This quote explains that through willpower and passion, anyone can become successful. That was the thing to do and that was how things were done. And by the way, we're saying this at a time when the US economy is growing at a strong clip. Be it in textbooks, or Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, if you live in the States it probably rings some sort of bell (and not the Liberty Bell). Jennifer Kustanovich, SUNY Stony Brook5.

Q: Memory Leaks for typedef struct I m trying to remove memory leaks. Below is my code.
currentTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent();

CFTimeZoneRef currentTimeZone = CFTimeZoneCopyDefault();

todaysDate = CFAbsoluteTimeGetGregorianDate(currentTime, currentTimeZone);

[currentTimeZone release];
currentTimeZone = nil;

Warning:::/myclass.m:87: warning: invalid receiver type 'CFTimeZoneRef'
how to release memory for typedef const struct?

A: With CFxxxCopyxxx you should use CFRelease.
CFRelease(currentTimeZone);

Edit:
There are CoreFoundation classes that are Toll-Free bridged and your original statement was not leaking but just needed a cast. I would still recommend using CFRelease since you were working directly with CoreFoundation.
[(NSTimeZone*)currentTimeZone release];

A: From the docs:

If you own an object, it is your responsibility to relinquish
  ownership (using CFRelease) when you have finished with it.

A: You're using a CoreFoundation call, so instead of using Cocoa's release, you will want to call:
CFRelease( currentTimeZone);

in order to release the copied data.

A: try relesing addressBook after allPeople
CFRelease(allPeople);
    CFRelease(addressBook);
This worked for me.

3 Herod was deeply disturbed by their question, as was all of Jerusalem. 4 He called a meeting of the leading priests and teachers of religious law. "Where did the prophets say the Messiah would be born?" he asked them.
No particular time of day is mentioned in the text.
This scene is set indoors, the figures are lit by bright yellow torch or candle light from above. Notice the deep shadows below some of the figures features, which contrast the bright yellow light above.
King Herod is robed in red & sitting on his palace throne, in the left of the scene. His sneaky looking advisor (dressed in purple) is by his side. In the foreground are many leading priests & teachers of the law. In the back ground there are three temple guards, their leader having a green helmet/turban.
Although this scene precedes the next one (scene 07) in sequence, it has actually been drawn about 15 months after it. The colouring for the figures comes directly from scene 07.
Note: on the map are the Hebrew words "Jerusalem, Shechem, Bethlehem, Jericho, Joppa & Aphek". I found out how to write them from studying the Blue letter bible on the internet.
I wonder what the chief temple guard is saying to his underling – it looks like he is telling him off for something!

In decision theory, a scoring rule provides a summary measure for the evaluation of probabilistic predictions or forecasts. It is applicable to tasks in which predictions assign probabilities to events, i.e. one issues a probability distribution  as prediction. This includes probabilistic classification of a set of mutually exclusive outcomes or classes.

On the other side, a scoring function provides a summary measure for the evaluation of point predictions, i.e. one predicts a property or functional , like the expectation or the median.

Scoring rules and scoring functions can be thought of as "cost function" or "loss function". They are evaluated as empirical mean of a given sample, simply called score. Scores of different predictions or models can then be compared to conclude which model is best.

If a cost is levied in proportion to a proper scoring rule, the minimal expected cost corresponds to reporting the true set of probabilities. Proper scoring rules are used in meteorology, finance, and pattern classification where a forecaster or algorithm will attempt to minimize the average score to yield refined, calibrated probabilities (i.e. accurate probabilities).

Definition
Consider a sample space , a σ-algebra  of subsets of  and a convex class  of probability measures on . A function defined on  and taking values in the extended real line, , is -quasi-integrable if it is measurable with
respect to  and is quasi-integrable with respect to all .

Probabilistic forecast
A probabilistic forecast is any probability measure .

Scoring rule
A scoring rule is any extended real-valued function  such that  is -quasi-integrable for all .  represents the loss or penalty when the forecast  is issued and the observation  materializes.

Point forecast
A point forecast is a functional, i.e. a potentially set-valued mapping .

Scoring function
A scoring function is any real-valued function  where  represents the loss or penalty when the point forecast  is issued and the observation  materializes.

Orientation
Scoring rules  and scoring functions  are negatively (positively) oriented if smaller (larger) values mean better. Here we adhere to negative orientation, hence the association with "loss".

Sample average score
Given a sample  and corresponding forecasts  or  (e.g. forecasts from a single model), one calculates the average score as

or

Average scores are used to compare and rank different forecast(er)s or models.

Propriety and consistency
Strictly proper scoring rules and strictly consistent scoring functions encourage honest forecasts by maximization of the expected reward: If a forecaster is given a reward of  if  realizes (e.g. ), then the highest expected reward (lowest score) is obtained by reporting the true probability distribution.

Proper scoring rules
We write for the expected score under

A scoring rule  is proper relative to  if (assuming negative orientation)

  for all .

It is strictly proper if the above equation holds with equality if and only if .

Consistent scoring functions
A scoring function  is consistent for the functional  relative to the class  if

  for all , all  and all .

It is strictly consistent if it is consistent and equality in the above equation implies that .

Example application of scoring rules

An example of probabilistic forecasting is in meteorology where a weather forecaster may give the probability of rain on the next day. One could note the number of times that a 25% probability was quoted, over a long period, and compare this with the actual proportion of times that rain fell. If the actual percentage was substantially different from the stated probability we say that the forecaster is poorly calibrated. A poorly calibrated forecaster might be encouraged to do better by a bonus system. A bonus system designed around a proper scoring rule will incentivize the forecaster to report probabilities equal to his personal beliefs.

In addition to the simple case of a binary decision, such as assigning probabilities to 'rain' or 'no rain', scoring rules may be used for multiple classes, such as 'rain', 'snow', or 'clear', or continuous responses like the amount of rain per day.

The image to the right shows an example of a scoring rule, the logarithmic scoring rule, as a function of the probability reported for the event that actually occurred. One way to use this rule would be as a cost based on the probability that a forecaster or algorithm assigns, then checking to see which event actually occurs.

Examples of proper scoring rules

There are an infinite number of scoring rules, including entire parameterized families of strictly proper scoring rules. The ones shown below are simply popular examples.

Categorical variables
For a categorical response variable with  mutually exclusive events, , a probabilistic forecaster or algorithm will return a probability vector  with a probability for each of the  outcomes.

Logarithmic score
The logarithmic scoring rule is a local strictly proper scoring rule. This is also the negative of surprisal, which is commonly used as a scoring criterion in Bayesian inference; the goal is to minimize expected surprise. This scoring rule has strong foundations in information theory.

Here, the score is calculated as the logarithm of the probability estimate for the actual outcome. That is, a prediction of 80% that correctly proved true would receive a score of . This same prediction also assigns 20% likelihood to the opposite case, and so if the prediction proves false, it would receive a score based on the 20%: . The goal of a forecaster is to maximize the score and for the score to be as large as possible, and −0.22 is indeed larger than −1.6.

If one treats the truth or falsity of the prediction as a variable  with value 1 or 0 respectively, and the expressed probability as , then one can write the logarithmic scoring rule as . Note that any logarithmic base may be used, since strictly proper scoring rules remain strictly proper under linear transformation. That is:

is strictly proper for all .

Brier/Quadratic score
The quadratic scoring rule is a strictly proper scoring rule

where  is the probability assigned to the correct answer and  is the number of classes.

The Brier score, originally proposed by Glenn W. Brier in 1950, can be obtained by an affine transform from the quadratic scoring rule.

Where  when the th event is correct and  otherwise and  is the number of classes.

An important difference between these two rules is that a forecaster should strive to maximize the quadratic score  yet minimize the Brier score . This is due to a negative sign in the linear transformation between them.

Hyvärinen scoring rule
The Hyvärinen scoring function (of a density p) is defined by

Where  denotes the Hessian trace and  denotes the gradient. This scoring rule can be used to computationally simplify parameter inference and address Bayesian model comparison with arbitrarily-vague priors. It was also used to introduce new information-theoretic quantities beyond the existing information theory.

Spherical score
The spherical scoring rule is also a strictly proper scoring rule

Continuous variables

Continuous ranked probability score
The continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) is a strictly proper scoring rule much used in Meteorology. It is defined as

where F is the forecast cumulative distribution function and  is the observation.

Interpretation of proper scoring rules
All proper scoring rules are equal to weighted sums (integral with a non-negative weighting functional) of the losses in a set of simple two-alternative decision problems that use the probabilistic prediction, each such decision problem having a particular combination of associated cost parameters for false positive and false negative decisions.  A strictly proper scoring rule corresponds to having a nonzero weighting for all possible decision thresholds.  Any given proper scoring rule is equal to the expected losses with respect to a particular probability distribution over the decision thresholds; thus the choice of a scoring rule corresponds to an assumption about the probability distribution of decision problems for which the predicted probabilities will ultimately be employed, with for example the quadratic loss (or Brier) scoring rule corresponding to a uniform probability of the decision threshold being anywhere between zero and one. The classification accuracy score (percent classified correctly), a single-threshold scoring rule which is zero or one depending on whether the predicted probability is on the appropriate side of 0.5, is a proper scoring rule but not a strictly proper scoring rule because it is optimized (in expectation) not only by predicting the true probability but by predicting any probability on the same side of 0.5 as the true probability.

Comparison of strictly proper scoring rules
Shown below on the left is a graphical comparison of the Logarithmic, Quadratic, and Spherical scoring rules for a binary classification problem. The x-axis indicates the reported probability for the event that actually occurred.

It is important to note that each of the scores have different magnitudes and locations. The magnitude differences are not relevant however as scores remain proper under affine transformation. Therefore, to compare different scores it is necessary to move them to a common scale. A reasonable choice of normalization is shown at the picture on the right where all scores intersect the points (0.5,0) and (1,1). This ensures that they yield 0 for a uniform distribution (two probabilities of 0.5 each), reflecting no cost or reward for reporting what is often the baseline distribution. All normalized scores below also yield 1 when the true class is assigned a probability of 1.

Characteristics

Affine transformation
A strictly proper scoring rule, whether binary or multiclass, after an affine transformation remains a strictly proper scoring rule. That is, if  is a strictly proper scoring rule then  with  is also a strictly proper scoring rule, though if  then the optimization sense of the scoring rule switches between maximization and minimization.

Locality
A proper scoring rule is said to be local if its estimate for the probability of a specific event depends only on the probability of that event. This statement is vague in most descriptions but we can, in most cases, think of this as the optimal solution of the scoring problem "at a specific event" is invariant to all changes in the observation distribution that leave the probability of that event unchanged. All binary scores are local because the probability assigned to the event that did not occur is determined so there is no degree of flexibility to vary over.

Affine functions of the logarithmic scoring rule are the only strictly proper local scoring rules on a finite set that is not binary.

Decomposition

The expectation value of a proper scoring rule  can be decomposed into the sum of three components, called uncertainty, reliability, and resolution, which characterize different attributes of probabilistic forecasts:

If a score is proper and negatively oriented (such as the Brier Score), all three terms are positive definite.
The uncertainty component is equal to the expected score of the forecast which constantly predicts the average event frequency.
The reliability component penalizes poorly calibrated forecasts, in which the predicted probabilities do not coincide with the event frequencies.

The equations for the individual components depend on the particular scoring rule.
For the Brier Score, they are given by

where  is the average probability of occurrence of the binary event , and  is the conditional event probability, given , i.e.

Q: Aggregate shows null value My lambda expression:
lst.Add(qry.Where(item => item.Type == "Gundalac")
           .Aggregate(new CDetails(), (accumulator, item) => new CDetails {
                       Des = "CATALOG",
                       Amt = accumulator.Amt + item.Amt
                   }));

public class CDetails
{
    public string Des { get; set; }
    public decimal? Amt { get; set; }
}

Always the Amt is null value? How to get the total of Amount for the results on "qry".

A: I would check that qry.Where(item => item.Type == "Gundalac") actually returns any items.
Once you check that I'd be inclined to change your code to this:
lst.Add(new CDetails()
{
    Des = "CATALOG",
    Amt = qry
        .Where(item => item.Type == "Gundalac")
        .Sum(item => item.Amt)
});

In this particular case using .Sum() is a lot simpler.

Anti-Israel Bias in the Media, Yet Again
BY RABBI ECKSTEIN, IFCJ—
Last Sunday, 60 Minutes, the CBS weekly news program, aired a piece lamenting what it called an "exodus" of Christians from the Holy Land. At first glance, this sounds like a story that needs to be told. After all, Coptic Christians and churches in Egypt have been attacked by radical Islamist mobs. Terrorists regularly target churches in Iraq. A Catholic news agency recently reported on what it called "an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Christians" by radical Islamists in Syria. Surely, it is time we confronted this ugly reality, and did something about it.
While the 60 Minutes report did, in passing, mention the oppression of Christians by radical Islamists throughout the Middle East, ultimately it opted not to tell this story. "Christians of the Holy Land," as the piece was titled, revealed itself to be exactly what Israel's Ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, who was interviewed for the segment, told interviewer Bob Simon he feared it would be: a well-produced piece of propaganda that cast Israel as solely responsible for the ills of Christians in the areas it controls.
60 Minutes tipped its hand early on in the segment. Mitri Raheb, the Palestinian Lutheran pastor interviewed for the piece, has a long record of harsh bias against Israel. Raheb and others interviewed in this report cite the Kairos Document, issued in 2009 and signed by the leaders of 13 Christian denominations, as a model of moral, non-violent resistance to the Israeli "occupation." The 60 Minutes report fails to mention that this document was almost universally condemned as unfair and biased by the Jewish community even by the left-leaning lobbying group J-Street, which is often critical of Israel's policies and that the Central Conference of American Rabbis blasted it for its "supersessionist and anti-Semitic nature." In short, "Christians of the Holy Land" offered no balance, no moderation, and no attempt to introduce viewers to Christian leaders who might step up to Israel's defense.
The report is notable, too, for what it doesn't say. In fact, demographic data, including data from Palestinian sources, points to an increase in the number of Palestinian Christians in the West Bank and Jerusalem since 1967, the year Israel took control of the West Bank from Jordan. (While the number of Palestinian Christians has decreased as a percentage, this is largely due to the dramatic increase in the Muslim population.) When it comes to the treatment and rights of people of faith, Israel is unique in the Middle East. In no other country in the region is freedom of religion for all written into law and respected in practice as it is in Israel.
The 60 Minutes segment aired during a week when Israel marked two important holidays. Yesterday, Israel observed Yom Ha'Zikaron, commemorating all those who have died defending the Jewish state, and all who have lost their lives to terrorism. Today, we celebrate Yom Ha'Azmaut, Israel Independence Day, the 64th birthday of the Jewish state. These holidays – the one somber, the other celebratory – remind us of two things. We are thankful to God for the gift of independence and self-determination. But we must always remain aware that our freedom has been bought at a terrible cost: the blood of tens of thousands of our fighting men and women.
So, even as we rightfully celebrate our freedom, self-determination, and our accomplishments, reports like the one that aired Sunday on 60 Minutes remind us that we're still fighting, not just against terrorism, but for fair treatment in the media. Given the overwhelming influence of the media on public perception, this is a battle we must win.

wesley g shaw phd says:
it is alarming to see some folks like this lutheran pastor who hide under the banner of "christianity" when their hearts seem to exude with anti semitism.does he not understand that christians and jews are linked inextricably together as family? rabbi saul (apostle paul) in romans ch 11 tells christians that they are the "wild olive branch" grafted into the root which is jewish and which is holy .he instructs gentiles not to be arrogant but to be fearful and respectful.perhaps our lutheran pastor would be well advised to step aside from such incorrect and arrogant political activism and return to pastoring and study of the bible especially the book of romans ch11

Amazon Prime Day Protest
Published on: 08 Jul, 2019
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) employees in Minnesota are reportedly planning a protest on Prime Day, one of the busiest times of the year.
The Company's workers announced that, on July 15, they will cease to work for six hours as soon as this spectacular, Black Friday impersonating, event begins. This is to protest the workers' allegation that the productivity quotas are too intense and that more temporary workers are offered full-time offers. Presumably, the minimum wage raise to USD 15 was not enough to meet expectations.
Protesting Amazon is not a new activity or trend. Many of Amazon's employees have articulated their frustrations with the Company in the past. There was an uproar in Europe where labor unions hold greater power than present-day American labor unions. Prime Day 2018 was met with major opposition from workers as a strike was supported by European workers in Spain, Poland, Germany, Italy and France.
At the Minnesota facility, the workers, many of which are Muslim immigrants from East Africa, have previously fought Amazon to respect their religion. The protest pushed for lesser working quotas during Ramadan and time for prayers. These demands were met but the working conditions are still not deemed to be adequate.
Reportedly, some of Amazon's white collar-engineers will join the fight and fly to Minnesota to join the protest.
Abdirahman Muse, the Executive Director of the Awood Center, a group that advocates for East African workers, said that these workers have been bemoaning conditions for almost 18 months.
"Instead of real progress on issues like safe and reliable jobs, respecting and promoting East African workers and addressing issues like climate change, they've been facing retaliation in the workplace," he said. "In order to show that they won't wait around any longer in the face of these injustices, workers decided to go on strike on Prime Day to show they are serious about achieving a voice on the job to win the things families in Minnesota and across the country deserve."

Optional: curtain ring or D ring and nylon webbing but note warning below!
Parishes that have regular school visits also seem to suffer from mischief caused by idle hands. Efforts to remove the hanging strap will be thwarted by following the procedure described below. But D rings remain vulnerable – determined fingers can work the D ring out of the strap. It's possible to work it back again but you may prefer to use curtain rings. These can get distorted but do not seem to break.
The finished kneeler needs to be stretched since the process of stitching tends to contract the canvas. Dampening and drying also acts to re-starch the canvas and gives a professional finish. There are two methods of doing this – both work equally well.
But before you start, go over the finished kneeler carefully to be sure that there are no gaps in the stitching and that – in a cross-stitch kneeler – all stitches have been crossed. This is your last chance to put things right.
Now you need a piece of chipboard or MDF or similar rather larger than your canvas, a lot of thin nails, a hammer, and – if Method One is used – a mackintosh and boots.
Method One Soak the kneeler in water until wool and canvas are thoroughly wet. Now spread the canvas on the wood and nail it down, stretching it tight – and getting well-dripped-on in the process. This is the method used at St. Cynog's, Boughrood, Powys.
Method Two Nail the canvas to the wood, pulling it tightly as you go. Now mop it gently with a damp sponge ensuring that both canvas and wool become damp. Keep sponging it gently for a week. This way you don't get so wet. This method is used at St. Mary the Virgin, Stanwell, Surrey.
Pull the canvas tight, checking the size against your chipfoam. But try to avoid a scalloped edge – you may need to use a lot of nails.
Let it dry completely before you remove the nails.
The chip foam needs to be covered with a thin fabric before the kneeler itself is put on. This ensures that the canvas lies smoothly on the rubber without ruckling up.
Use a worn-out tea towel, pillow case or similar. No need to turn in the edges. Cut away surplus fabric. Use large tacking stitches. No one is ever going to see it but without it your kneeler will never look right.
Sew up the corners of the kneeler, using a strong thread.
Cut back the canvas leaving at least 5cm (2″) to tack onto the cotton covering of the base. You want to avoid too much bulk at the corners but do not want to cut the canvas so far back that it risks fraying. Now tack the canvas onto the cotton covering.
Do you want to hang up your kneeler?
You need a curtain ring or D ring and some strong tape. Nylon webbing seems to last longer than the alternatives – double it if it is too wide.
Sew the tape onto the canvas top and bottom and onto the cotton cover. This will foil any vandals.
Kneelers are usually hung up. Churches which have made kneelers from kits have been advised by the kit manufacturers simply to prop them up on the pews, but too large and colourful a display on the pews can detract from the overall appearance of the church. If your church is very large and high, this may not be a problem. At St. Edmundsbury Cathedral, Suffolk, the kneelers are displayed on the pews – but the cathedral is huge and all the kneelers share the same blue background. Most churches look better with hanging kneelers.
sew some strong canvas onto the base using a strong thread.
If you use a hemming stitch, use a thread in a contrasting colour to the canvas. This seems strange advice but remember your successors. Even the densest chip foam will crumble to powder long before your embroidered kneeler shows signs of wear. In about 40 years it will need replacing. If your neat hemming stitches match the colour of the kneeler canvas too closely, there is a real risk that your successors, in unpicking your work, may cut the threads of the canvas itself instead of your stitching thread. This imposes a horrendous darning job.
When hemming, run your needle along three or four strands of the kneeler canvas. If you pull too hard on a single thread of canvas you may snap it. Hemming is a fiddly job: Mrs. Cavendish of St. Constantine, Cornwall, recommends using a curved upholstery needle.
Alternatively, you can use buttonhole stitch to attach the base canvas to the kneeler. This is slower to do but will make the work of your successors very much easier.
If your kneelers are in very pale colours or if they are at risk from candlewax, sticky sweets or felt tip pens, spray them with fabric protector. Candlewax is particularly hard to deal with so if you have candlesticks in the pews, it is worth taking this precaution. Otherwise all normal dirt can be removed by a quick sponging with carpet cleaner.
Your finished kneeler will last at least 100 years – congratulations on your achievement.

25th December – Periyar (Person in News)
Leave a Comment / Daily Current Affairs, Editorial Simplified, Ethics & Integrity, GS Paper 1, GS Paper 4, Indian Culture / By webadmin
In Tamil Nadu, Vaikom is an image of Periyar E.V. Ramasamy (September 17, 1879-December 24, 1973). Vaikom is a metaphor for social justice — when scores of satyagrahis from the Tamil country joined hands with their brethren in a heroic struggle.
Leadership –
In Travancore, the Satyagraha in 1924 against the injustice meted out against Ezhavas (four streets leading to Lord Mahadeva were closed for these castes) and other lower caste community was launched.
While the entire leadership was jailed, George Joseph wrote to Periyar pleading him to lead the Satyagraha.
Periyar presided over the satyagraha in the face of untold violence and indignity inflicted by the orthodox and the repression of the police. To mobilise support, he visited villages in and around Vaikom and delivered public speeches in several towns.
Role of Periyar in Satyagraha –
He used his wit and folk logic to punch holes in the argument of the orthodox.
Prohibitory orders were released by the police against him but he continued the campaign. Ultimately, he was arrested in 21st May 1924. He refused to cooperate with the court saying that the trial was just an eyewash. He was awarded a month's simple imprisonment at Arookutty jail.
On his release, Periyar went to Vaikom rather than to his home town of Erode, so he was arrested again on July 18. While fellow satyagrahis were treated as political prisoners, Periyar was denied this status.
After release, Periyar continued his campaign in Vaikom apart from Nedunganda and Nagercoil. On September 10, he returned to Erode where he was again arrested.
Role in Tamil Nadu Congress Committee –
As president of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee he arranged for a contribution of ₹1,000. He was part of every consultative meeting, peace committee, campaign party, etc., including the eight-member deputation constituted to meet the Diwan.
Every major personality who came to Vaikom met with Periyar. This included Swami Shraddhananda of the Arya Samaj.
Periyar had received Gandhi at Erode (March 8, 1925) on his way to Vaikom, joining him later at Varkala on March 12.
Result of Satyagraha –
The satyagraha ended in partial victory in November 1925: three out of four streets were thrown open.
Final victory came 11 years later with the Travancore Temple Entry Proclamation of 1936. By that time not only had Periyar become a bitter critic of Gandhi, but even his views on satyagraha changed.
Conclusion –
No wonder, Thiru.Vi. Kalyanasundara Mudaliar, the great journalist and labour leader, called him the Vaikom Veerar, the hero of Vaikom, even at the time of the struggle.
QUESTION – Give an account of Periyar E.V. Ramasamy and his struggle for social justice in pre-independence India,

L'abbaye de Coombe (en anglais Coombe Abbey) est une ancienne abbaye cistercienne, qui, après la dissolution des monastères voulue par Henri VIII, est devenue une maison de campagne. Au , celle-ci a été aménagée en hôtel de luxe et protégé en tant que monument classé.

Localisation

L'abbaye est située à peu près à mi-chemin entre Coventry et Brinklow dans la campagne du Warwickshire, en Angleterre. Les terrains environnants l'abbaye sont maintenant devenus un parc naturel connu sous le nom de Coombe Country Park et gérés par la municipalité de la ville de Coventry.

Historique

L'abbaye est fondée par Richard de Camville père († 1176), en 1150, comme un monastère cistercien. Après la dissolution des monastères au , elle est devenue propriété royale.

Élisabeth d'Angleterre, fille du roi Jacques , y a fait ses études au début du . Si la Conspiration des poudres avait réussi elle aurait été enlevée à Coombe Abbey et proclamée reine  sous le nom d'Élisabeth II.

En 1682, l'aile ouest a été ajoutée par l'architecte William Winde, qui a également conçu Buckingham House, qui devint plus tard le palais de Buckingham. En 1771, Lancelot «Capability» Brown réaménagea les jardins, y incorporant Coombe Pool, un lac de  de long.

Pendant des générations Coombe Abbey a été détenue par les comtes de Craven, ce jusqu'en 1923, lorsque la veuve de William Craven (4 comte de Craven) vend l'Abbaye après le décès accidentel de son mari.

En , la municipalité de  Coventry City Conseil a acheté Coombe Abbey avec les terres environnantes. Le parc a été ouvert au public en 1966.
