Professor Lee's research interests include school bullying, parenting/discipline, child maltreatment (abuse and neglect), and children/adolescent psychosocial and risk behaviors in developmental and cross-cultural perspectives. Before coming to Barnard, she has been teaching and doing research at Brandeis as a postdoctoral fellow and adjuct faculty for three years after getting her PhD there. She ran a combined developmental research lab (Child and Adolescent Research on Development lab) with three professors at Brandeis, while advising undergraduate and graduate students with their research projects.
Professor Lee has been using Springfield Child Development Project as a co-investigator for her major research; it is a 7-year longitudinal study with 4-time points sponsored by National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) that consists of European, African and Hispanic American mother-child dyads to investigate child and adolescent development.
She serves as a reviewer for several SSCI journals, including Child Development, Child Abuse & Neglect, Journal of Research on Adolescence, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, and Journal of Family Violence.
Back in Korea, s a licensed counselor, she worked with both bullying and victimized adolescents through a bullying intervention program administered by the Education Council of Seoul. Also, in Boston, she was involved as a statistical consultant with a bullying intervention project working with the developers of the program from Children's Hospital Boston/Harvard Medical School and Education Development Center. She evaluated the school bullying intervention program for school age-children in school and community settings. Based on her previous academic and field experiences in bullying, she developed a new empirically-based course related to school bullying behaviors, and the course program was awarded for Justice Brandeis Semester (JBS) that provides $30,000 grant.

Swansong for Halton Musical Society
Big orchestral players line up to perform as classical group calls it a day after 39 years
Published on March 2nd 2010.
AFTER 39 YEARS of finding talent and bringing classical performances to the people, Halton Music Society will promote its last concert on Saturday 20th March at another of the borough's stoic little gems, The Brindley, in Runcorn.
The society has decided to dissolve. From its inauguration in May 1971, through the efforts of many members, HMS has attracted professional, classical musicians of the highest quality to the town. It has involved itself with the musical education of the young and has helped rising young artists at the start of their career.
One such talent was Martin Roscoe, a local man, who first performed for the Society in 1978 when the cost of piano hire was larger than his fee. He will play in this final concert as an artist of international repute, whose services to music have recently been recognised with the award of an Honorary Doctorate of Music at the University of Hull.
The Manchester Chamber Ensemble will join him. It is made up of musicians of exceptional talent such as Richard Howarth, violinist, who has worked as leader of many British orchestras including the Camerata and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and, in recent years, is in increasing demand as a conductor. Then there is Richard Williamson, who has been principal viola player in renowned orchestras in Australia and in London, including the English Chamber Orchestra and the City of London Sinfonia; Jonathan Price, cellist, who has worked and performed for the BBC for 10 years, is cello tutor at Manchester University and gives concerts throughout Europe and north and south America.
These masters of their art will perform three piano quartets. The gentle and imaginative quartet K 493 by Mozart will be followed by that of Faure's no. 2, which is alternately tender and impetuously fiery. The concert ends with No. 3 by Brahms who, it is believed, wrote his quartet as a declaration of his love for Clara Schumann.
Halton Music Society will bow out on a memorably high note and The Brindley will continue to promote classical concerts in the future.
Tickets, price £12.50 concessions £10.50 are on sale at the Brindley Box Office, High Street, Runcorn, telephone 0151 907 8360 or online at www.thebrindley.org.uk.

Roger Stone Presents the Worst Alibi Ever
Roger Stone -- former CREEP dirty trickster, occasional Fox contributor, Al Gore fan -- is trying to avoid blame for having called and abused Eliot Spitzer's dad. He was forced to abandon his original alibi after it turned out there were no performances of Frost/Nixon that night. So, instead, he claims he was in Venice Beach, CA getting a tattoo of Richard Nixon's face. Look, you can kind of see it in the mirror there. But don't look too close! Your eyes will melt!
Update: Ok we clearly didn't understand this at all. Stone got the tattoo the day he was accused of making the call, not on the day the call was made. So it's more of a "fuck you" than an alibi.
Roger Stone's Nixon Thing [Politicker]


A team of scientists at the MESA+ Institute of Nanotechnology, the Niels Bohr Institute, and the FOM institute AMOLF have demonstrated that light becomes trapped in even state-of-the-art on-chip waveguides by the tiny amount of disorder that is always present.
The used methods provide direct information where and why light becomes trapped. These results are important for quantifying the influence of disorder on on-chip-structures and have direct impact for our understanding of semiconductors and light transport in integrated optical devices. The results are being published in the leading American journal Physical Review B. It turns out that light propagates in an integrated waveguide like people shopping on a busy day before Christmas.
"Passing through a shopping street can be tedious, especially on a busy day just before Christmas. With a steady pace you can make it through in a reasonable time, but the slower you walk, the higher the chance that you are diverted by not-to-miss offers." MESA+ researcher Pepijn Pinkse explains that this example illustrates what happens when light propagates in a nanostructure. Under normal conditions the propagation of light is strongly affected by the periodic order of the nanostructure. Energy gaps emerge where light is not allowed to propagate as a result of interference. The boundary between an energy gap and energies where light can still propagate is called the band edge. Light near the band edge travels at a lower velocity. Slowly propagating light enhances the sensitivity of nanoscale sensors and is of interest for controlling optical information. However, even the smallest amount of disorder in a structure, which is fundamentally unavoidable, significantly alters the transport of light near the band edge. Up till now, it has been a major challenge to directly measure this effect.
Pinkse's team of scientists have studied light transport in integrated nanophotonic waveguides. They have completely measured the energy-dependent transport properties of these nanostructures near the band edge. "We make a complete energy-space map to show the propagating waves and the positions and energies where light is trapped." Even for state-of-the-art periodic structures, the scientists observed that the band edge is not a sharp boundary anymore. The band edge becomes an energy range where light waves travel slower and sometimes become even trapped. The probability to get trapped increases when the waves travel slower. "In fact, the results are not limited to light waves, but are valid for wave propagation in general. We can now directly observe the interplay between trapped waves and slowly traveling waves with the newest microscopy methods developed by MESA+." To come back to the analogy of the shopping street, if you are more and more fascinated by the incredible sales offers, you might end up being trapped in one of the attractive shops.
The paper is entitled "Measurement of a Band-Edge Tail in the Density of States of a Photonic-Crystal Waveguide" and is being published in Physical Review B.
Could this help solar panels somehow by helping the, absorb more light by slowing down it down?

Consumption of Fossil Fuels in America Was Less in 2020
By Gerard Wong on July 8, 2021
According to the US Energy Information Administration Americans consumed fewer Fossil Fuels in 2020 than they have in three decades. The Consumption of petroleum, natural gas, and coal dropped by 9% last year compared to 2019, the biggest annual decrease since the EIA started keeping track in 1949.
The COVID-19 pandemic was responsible for the decline. People stayed home to curb the spread of the virus and used less gas. In April 2020, oil prices nosedived below zero because there was so little demand. The US transportation sector alone used up 15% less energy in 2020 compared to the year before. Higher temperatures last winter also helped to cut energy demand for heating, according to the EIA. As a result, greenhouse gas emissions from burning Fossil Fuels plummeted to a near 40-year low.
The downward trend will have to continue to stave off the climate crisis. Upon rejoining the Paris climate agreement, President Joe Biden committed the US to slash its planet-heating pollution in half this decade from near-peak levels it reached in 2005. That's part of a global effort to keep global warming from surpassing a point that life on Earth would struggle to adapt to, a global average temperature that's roughly 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
According to a recent landmark report from the International Energy Agency, to hit that goal, there should be no further investments in new fossil fuel projects. The oil and gas industries are already feeling the crunch from lawsuits and activist investors forcing them to move faster toward more sustainable forms of energy.

Exploring Paris' abandoned railway
I first heard of the Petite Ceinture a couple of years ago through MessyNessy Chic, where one photo in particular captured my imagination. Could this really exist in the heart of Paris?
Photo via MessyNessy Chic
During my next trip I vowed to find out. So I downloaded a map, researched access points, and made a couple of half-hearted attempts to explore the abandoned railway.
Map via Association Sauvegarde Petite Ceinture
About two-thirds of the 22-mile-long Petite Ceinture still surround Paris today. But although I could see parts of the "little beltway," its tracks remained beyond reach.
The "little beltway," as seen from the Parc Montsouris
That was before I knew Gilles Thomas, of course. (I haven't even *begun* to chronicle my adventures with Gilles, except for this trip into the World War I quarries in Laon.)
Gilles is an expert on Paris' hidden treasures, so I wasn't surprised one sunny Wednesday in September when he led me to the edge of a heavily wooded embankment in the 14th arrondissement.
It took only moments to reach the bottom of the man-made ravine. There weren't any of MessyNessy's wildflowers, but it was still beautifully verdant —
— and plenty colorful.
To our right, the tracks seemed to stretch toward the horizon.
But huge metal doors blocked our view to the left. I followed Gilles through a succession of these tunnels until we reached a heavy concrete wall.
As we approached the concrete wall, Gilles described the feverish work that was taking place behind it.
They'd decided to build a new apartment building, he explained, but it was being erected on a concrete "bridge" of sorts. That's because any new construction near the Petite Ceinture must preserve the tracks' right-of-way. "So it's possible that trains will one day rumble directly below these apartments?" I asked.
"It's possible," said Gilles. Though not likely: Although the SNCF rail service owns the right-of-way, there's been much debate of late over how to use the Petite Ceinture's prime real estate.
Some neighborhoods have annexed the land for gardens, for instance, while other entrepreneurs have set up restaurants and shops.
In another section, old railway cars have become an improvised homeless shelter, just as the woods themselves offer a safer haven than the streets. (In fact, during our walk we passed what looked like someone's living room.)
Some defenders of the Petite Ceinture argue in favor of its preservation on purely ecological grounds. I didn't see any foxes or hedgehogs or bats during my walk with Gilles, but he pointed out the holes in the huge metal doors that allow the animals' passage.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has a more commercial vision for the land, however. "Her ambitious plans could see the railway's many tunnels turned into cinemas, aquariums and the like," according to an article in The Guardian.
Perhaps it's fitting that the Petite Ceinture's purpose should still be evolving some 165 years after it was first envisioned.
The Petite Ceinture was first decreed in 1851 to connect the military fortification points Prime Minister Adolph Thiers had begun building around the city in 1841.
The ring-shaped railway soon switched to more commercial purposes, however — and in 1862 the first public-transit trains began running on the Petite Ceinture (making it a forerunner of the Métro, in a sense). By the time it was completed in 1869, the little beltway had transformed the city's industry and urban growth.
The railway's mass-transit role continued to grow exponentially until its peak in 1900, when 85,000 to 90,000 passengers a day moved among the little beltway's 29 stations — totaling more than 39 million trips per year.
But 1900 also marked the debut of the first Métro train, which drew riders in droves with its shiny and comparatively speedy new cars. As more Métro lines were added, traffic declined on the Petite Ceinture until it made little economic sense to keep it open. The last passenger train ran on July 22, 1934.
Nature — and taggers — have long since reclaimed this land, but you can still find vestiges of the little beltway's heyday, such as this abandoned platform.
The surroundings are also littered with the remains of the railroad itself, such as this old-fashioned rail key and these hand-hammered ties.
We'd walked perhaps two miles when Gilles suggested we turn around, lest we miss an appointment we had across town.
I was surprised that — rather than scrambling back up the embankment — we climbed a concrete staircase. What the photo doesn't show is how tall the fence is at the top, or how short my legs are. Ow.
A few hours later, we rejoined the Petite Ceinture in the beautiful Parc Montsouris. I felt a tiny bit vindicated that Gilles wasn't able to find a safe way into this section, either.
It certainly wasn't for lack of trying …
… but it wasn't meant to be.
Alas, this large metal barrier was locked. End of the tour!
It was okay, though. It was still a privilege to see as much as I did, and to experience one more chapter of Paris' rich history.
IF YOU GO …
Some parts of the old railway are private property, but many others are now open to the public as parks and pathways.
According to Parisinfo.com, you can access a nature trail and shared garden from 21, rue Rottembourg in the 12th arrondissement.
In the 15th arrondissement, 1.5 kilometres were opened to the public in 2013 — that entrance is at 99, rue Olivier de Serres.
In 2015 another section opened in the 13th arrondissement. Access is at 60, rue Damesme and runs from the Charles Trenet garden to the Moulin de la Pointe garden. See this link for more details, including opening times.
Paris Secret (in French) also mentions two more recent access points:
• In the 16th arrondissement between the gare d'Auteuil and the gare de la Muette,
• and very soon in the 20th at the corner of rue de la Mare and rue de Ménilmontant.
As always, an ENORMOUS thanks to my friend Gilles Thomas.

Welcome, Class of 2025! UVA Releases Admissions Decisions
Caroline Newman, news@virginia.edu
The University of Virginia has now extended offers of admission to 9,898 students from all walks of life and all around the world, inviting them to join UVA's Class of 2025.
The latest decisions went out Thursday, part of the "regular decision" admissions cycle. Some 2,620 students were offered admission in this cycle, joining students previously offered in UVA's binding early decision application cycle in December and non-binding early action phase in January.
The students admitted to the Class of 2025 represent a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. According the preliminary data from UVA's Office of Admission, the admitted class includes a record 1,184 first-generation college students, representing 12% of offers made. Fifty percent of total offers were made to students of minority backgrounds (41%), including African American, Asian, American Indian, Hawaiian Pacific Islander and Hispanic students; and to international students (9%).
While the numbers are not final, Dean of Admission Gregory W. Roberts said this year's class is a remarkable group, reflecting UVA's commitment to attracting high-achieving students from all walks of life and providing an affordable, world-class educational experience.
"I am grateful for these students' interest in the University, and deeply respect their resilience in the face of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their families and communities," Roberts said.
A total of 48,011 students applied for admission to the Class of 2025, with 9,898 offered a place – an offer rate of 21%. Twenty-eight percent of in-state students received offers; compared to 17% of non-Virginians.
Due to the coronavirus, students were not required to submit standardized test scores with their applications during this admissions cycle. Earlier this year, UVA announced plans to extend this "test-optional" approach for another two years.
The enrollment target for this class is 3,788 students. Those who received offers in the early action and regular decision cycles will have until May 1 to accept the offer and enroll at UVA.

Q: How to the 'base' theme in an MVC4 web app with a jQueryUI theme I have a standard out-of-the-box MVC4 app here using the base theme.
I also have a Themeroller zip.
How do I apply the custom jqueryui theme to to my app in place of the stock theme? Step by step instructions with an explanation of why each step is being done would be greatly appreciated and go a long way in lifting MVC4's theme fog for me.
(I am aware of question 11892182, and I have followed it exactly without meeting with success. It is a year old now and I am hoping things have gotten better between jQueryUI and MVC4)
Dave

A: Jquery UI is by default embedded in your new asp.net mvc4 internet template project. In order to user the default theme.

*

*Open your _Layout.cshtml file. (Views => Shared => Layout.cshtml)

*In your header section, replace the line
 @Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
  with this
 @Styles.Render("~/Content/themes/base/css")

*Add this @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui") at the end of your Layout.cshtml file right below @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

*Now start using your jqueryUI widgets and theme and they will display properly.

In order to use your custom downloaded theme, you need to modify the BundleConfig.cs file (App_Start => BundleConfig.cs)
If you have the complete source of jqueryUI with seperate files. Just replace your current base theme files in base folder (Content => theme => base) with your custom theme files.
In case you have a single file for the javascript and css. modify the BundleConfig.cs code. Replace
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/themes/base/css").Include(
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.core.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.resizable.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.selectable.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.accordion.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.autocomplete.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.button.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.dialog.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.slider.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.tabs.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.datepicker.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.progressbar.css",
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.theme.css"));

so that the include part holds the path to your custom css file for e.g something like this
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/themes/base/css").Include(
                    "~/Content/themes/base/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css");

A: sherwaniusman, I tried what you suggested and I only managed to break my own CSS entirely. I have got to be missing something.  I thought I understood what was going on, but apparently not.
Let's try something different. Here is what I did. Can you tell me where I went wrong?

*

*Downloaded the 'le-frog' theme from http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/

*Opened the zip and copied the three files in the js folder to my MVC4 app's Scripts folder. The three files were: jquery-1.9.1.js, jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js, and jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.js

*Copied the 'le-frog' folder from the zip to the Content/themes folder of my app to create a Content/themes/le-frog folder. The le-frog folder contains two files and an images sub-folder. The two files are jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css and jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.css

*Edited the _Layout.cshtml to have this as the only Styles.Render in the
@Styles.Render("~Content/themes/le-frog/css")
and this at the end of the
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")

*

*Edited BundleConfig.cs to point each of those symbols at the correct destination:
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
                    "~/Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.js"));
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryui").Include(
                    "~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js"));
bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/themes/le-frog/css").Include("~/Content/themes/le-frog/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css"));
It really seems to me this should work, but instead I get a page with no CSS styling at all.
Please... What am I missing here?
Dave

A: Also using the le-frog, and it is unclear which file goes where. There's no "css" folder under "Content", looks like the folder-structure has been changed between versions.
Frustrating - adding a theme should not be more difficult (nor take more time) than implementing drag & drop under WinForm.

A meticulously maintained studio deluxe with servicing in the Pestana Miramar garden hotel. The apartment is equipped for four persons, but with this occupancy two convertible sofa/beds would be used. Extensive hotel facilities, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Jacuzzi, restaurants, gardens, library etc are available equally to apartment and hotel guests. The apartment is well situated with views which include sea, harbour, outdoor pool, mountain and Funchal. It is conveniently accessed by lift or stairs.
The Miramar is located in the Sao Martinho hotel area of Funchal and is well served by public transport and, if necessary, by reasonably priced taxis. Parking is available at the hotel if a car is hired.
The benign climate of Madeira gives it an all year round 'red' season status, facilitating exchange if this should ever be needed. The airport is served by both scheduled and low-cost airlines. Throughout Madeira the English language is understood and spoken. This, together with the landscape, facilities and many attractions account for the relaxed atmosphere which makes Madeira such a favourite destination. Week 15 is at, or close to Easter and the accompanying floral and other festivities.
After successive years of enjoyment of the apartment and admiration for the Pestana management, illness now necessitates the sale of the apartment. It is being offered at a price which will be found to represent genuinely good value for anyone interested in a superior studio in Madeira.

Six of the Best Shakespeare Films
With Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing due to hit our cinema screens this summer, we've looked at a few of the best Shakespeare films – from classic, black and white screen adaptations to edgier modern takes.
So, if you're taking your A Level English Literature put the books down for a moment and enjoy an easier way to study Shakespeare…
Romeo + Juliet, Baz Lurhmann, 1996
Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet is a modern (note the plus sign in the name) music-filled romp through the bard's biggest box office hit. The film that launched Leonardo DiCaprio – not to mention a wide-eyed Claire Danes – into international stardom, it mixes Shakespearian dialogue with modern outfits, swaps Verona for Miami, introduces ecstasy and elevators (both of which would surely have been frowned upon in Renaissance Italy…) and messes about with the plot at times. But it's no less fun for it. Altogether now… "Love me, love me – say that you love me".
Much Ado About Nothing, Kenneth Branagh, 1993
Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington and a host of other big names against a backdrop of smouldering Tuscan landscapes… What could be better? Answer: not much. This Shakespeare film adaptation (directed by Branagh himself) leaves out much of the stage-y posturing in favour of a slightly more naturalistic acting style while still playing it fairly straight by the play, with all its twists and turns.
Romeo & Juliet, Franco Zeffirelli, 1968
Another Romeo & Juliet. And a very different one at that. Classically Shakespeare – it's all very 'actorly', was shot on location in Italy, features a lot of stage-style costumes (right down to the codpieces and jerkins, and features two teenaged actors in the roles of the star-crossed lovers (as well as a very young Michael York as Tybalt). But it's also very beautiful. At any rate, Radiohead's Thom Yorke admits to being sufficiently inspired by it to write the "Exit Music (For a Film)" for Baz Lurhmann's 1996 production. Zeffirelli also made a critically acclaimed version of The Taming of the Shrew with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
My Own Private Idaho, Gus Van Sant, 1991
Doesn't sound like a Shakespeare play, right? Well, it's not strictly. It's more an adaptation, really, with director Gus Van Sant very loosely basing it on Henry IV, parts I and II, and Henry V (i.e. pinching the dramatic parts he liked and leaving out the less easy to digest bits). Still, with a young Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix playing the leads (a couple of hustlers) and some dramatic shots of the bare Idaho landscape, it's well worth digging out – in the name of 'revision', of course.
Othello, Orson Welles, 1952
The film that nearly never got made. Three years in the making, it encountered serious budget problems (shooting often had to stop while the director and star dashed off to appear in a film to drum up more funds) wardrobe and casting difficulties (including no less than three recastings of Desdemona), several different cuts knocking about out there… it's fair to say that Orson Welles' Othello had its problems. The end result, though, is brilliant. The locations vary from Italy to Morocco – including a stunning opening scene shot on the sea-facing walls of Essaouira's medina – and the film features plenty of typically impressive visual compositions and striking black and white photography.
Shakespeare in Love, John Madden, 1998
OK, so this last film is a bit of a cheat. A departure from the rest of our picks, it's not strictly a film based on one of the bard's plays, but rather a film about Shakespeare himself. Regardless, it's a lot of fun – largely as a result of a cracking cast, with Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare), Gwyneth Paltrow (the 'in Love' part), and a host of British character actors – from Simon Callow and Tom Wilkinson to Martin Clunes and Judy Dench – making the whole thing race along and not feel remotely like a dull Elizabethan costume drama.
These are a few of our favourite Shakespeare films, but what are yours? Let us know below…

Q: Time series model selection: AIC vs. out-of-sample SSE and their equivalence AIC is frequently recommended as criterion to compare models for time series forecasting. See for example this in the context of dynamic regression models:

The AIC can be calculated for the final model, and this value can be
  used to determine the best predictors. That is, the procedure should
  be repeated for all subsets of predictors to be considered, and the
  model with the lowest AICc value selected.

Why not compare the models based on their out-of-sample performance? (e.g. choose the model with lowest SSE in out-of-sample forecasting). I've been reading several textbooks and websites on time series forecasting and haven't found this discussion. The closest I got was this blog entry about the Facts and fallacies of the AIC:

The AIC is not really an "in-sample" measure. Yes, it is computed
  using the training data. But asymptotically, minimizing the AIC is
  equivalent to minimizing the leave-one-out cross-validation MSE for
  cross-sectional data, and equivalent to minimizing the out-of-sample
  one-step forecast MSE for time series models. This property is what
  makes it such an attractive criterion for use in selecting models for
  forecasting.

In an example I've been working (couldn't post the plots here, though; I need more reputation in this site), I tried both approaches and most of the time AIC and out-of-sample SSE do not yield the same result. The procedure I used was as follows:

*

*I divided the data in training and test samples (at an arbitrary point; a question about this below)

*I estimated competing models (ARIMA with external regressors, changing ARIMA parameters and the regressors) using the training sample (first 230 periods; all models have the same number of observations so AIC is comparable).

*Then, I forecasted the series for the same periods as the test sample (periods 231-260).

*For each model, I calculated simple SSE like $SSE=\sum_{t=231}^{260}(\widehat{y_t}-y_t)^2$ where $y_t$ is the observed value of the series (test sample) and $\widehat{y_t}$ is the value forecasted by the model.

*I compared the model indicated by AIC (computed using training data) with the model with lowest out-of-sample SSE. Most of the time the selected models are different (and at least visually, those selected by SSE perform better).

If someone could explain to me what is going on behind this I would be very grateful. I am clearly not an expert in this. I am just trying to teach myself a little, so please excuse if I overlooked something important in the textbooks I've been reading.
Finally, a question regarding splitting the data in training and test samples for time series. It seems to me there is something fundamentally different than using the same procedure for cross sectional data. For cross sectional data you can take two random samples from your whole dataset. For time series this does not make much sense. So, you need to take an arbitrary point to split the series in training and test samples. The thing is that usually the best model is different for every arbitrary point. Perhaps that's why this approach does not seem to be frequently used. Is this the reason why AIC is preferred for model selection? (Given that "asymptotically, minimizing the AIC is ... equivalent to minimizing the out-of-sample one-step forecast MSE for time series models".)

A:
Why not compare the models based on their out-of-sample performance?

Of course, you can do that. I suppose that the advantage of AIC is faster computation and less coding (while AIC is often automatically reported as part of model diagnostics, cross validation for time series might not be readily available in your favourite software).

I tried both approaches and most of the time AIC and out-of-sample SSE do not yield the same result.

You do not seem to have implemented the cross validation properly. First, you split the data only once while you are supposed to split it multiple times. Second, you assessed forecasting performance based on one trial of forecasting multiple different horizons rather than multiple trials of forecasting one fixed horizon. Perhaps therefore you got the discrepancy between AIC and cross validation
When implementing cross validation in a time series setting, you may make use of rolling windows. You would take observations from $t$ to $t+m$ where $m$ is the window length and roll $t$ from 1 to $T-m-1$ where $T$ is the sample size. You would estimate your model in each rolling window and predict one period ahead. You would then collect these predictions and compare them the to the actual values. That would give you an out-of-sample metric of forecasting performance when using cross validation in a time series setting.
See also Hyndman and Athanasopoulos "Forecasting: principles and practice", section 2.5 (scroll all the way down) and Bergmeir et al. "A note on the validity of cross-validation for evaluating time series prediction" (2015, working paper).

at least visually, those [models] selected by SSE perform better

It could be that the model residuals did not quite have the assumed distribution or the model had some other faults invalidating its AIC in some way. That is one argument why out-of-sample forecast accuracy could be preferred over AIC in model selection.

JPMorgan to cut up to 17,000 jobs by end of 2014
NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) said on Tuesday that it plans to cut 17,000 jobs by the end of 2014, representing about 6.6 percent of the company's overall workforce, as the bank sheds staff that helped it deal with bad home loans.

The bank is optimistic that it can generate record income this year and is planning to add 4,000 employees in commercial and investment banking and credit cards to help it win business, bank executives said at an investor conference.
That hiring will be more than offset by job cuts in areas like mortgage servicing and retail banking, where the bank is positioning for a recovering housing market and new forms of branch banking. The net impact of the additions and cuts will be 17,000 fewer employees on the bank's payrolls.
The job cuts reflect the pressure that banks are under, even as the U.S. housing market and overall economy show signs of recovery. Many banks are looking to automate more of their businesses to make their staff more productive and improve profits.
For example, at JPMorgan's branches, where it plans to cut about 6,000 tellers and other employees, the bank hopes customers will use automated teller machines for every day transactions and that remaining staff can focus on higher-margin activities like selling wealth management services.
JPMorgan is one of the few big U.S. banks that is still adding branches to its network, but it is hoping to staff the branches with fewer workers. The bank's 5,614 branches have 63,500 employees, representing about a quarter of JPMorgan Chase's total. Chase's branch network is second to Wells Fargo & Co's (WFC.N) in size.
For overall staffing levels, JPMorgan Chase had 258,965 employees globally at the end of 2012. Its headcount rose following the financial crisis to 262,882 in the second quarter of 2012 from 219,569 in the first quarter of 2009. Since last year's second quarter, staffing levels have drifted lower.
JPMorgan Chase overall earned $21.9 billion last year, excluding accounting charges linked to changes in the value of its debt. The bank said it has the potential to earn about $27.5 billion, thanks in part to efficiency gains. It aims to cut overall expenses by $1 billion in 2013.
To reach the $27.5 billion profit figure, the bank is also counting on costs for lawsuits to fall as disputes over bad mortgages are resolved, as well as seeing a one percentage point rise in interest rates, said Chief Financial Officer Marianne Lake.
The profit scenario also depends on the bank not being hit by another trading debacle like the $6.2 billion loss last year on derivatives trades placed by the London Whale, the nickname given a London-based JPMorgan trader for the size of the positions.
Chief Executive Jamie Dimon acknowledged that many of his top lieutenants who spoke to investors on Tuesday were in new jobs after changes he made last year in his management team and the bank's divisions.
"It is a little bit too much change in one year," Dimon said. "Some of it was the Whale. Some of it was the re-org" to better align product divisions with customer interests, he said.
All of the top executives, however, have been at the company several years and know its businesses, Dimon said.
JPMorgan Chase shares were down 0.2 percent at $47.60 at the close of trading on Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

Clacton RNLI volunteers receive generous donation
The volunteers of Clacton RNLI were honoured to welcome representation from The Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons' Colchester Lodge 31, with a donation of life saving equipment.
Lifeboat Operations Manager David Wells receives donation
At a recent crew night, a small party from Colchester Lodge 31 which is a woman's lodge and celebrating its 65th anniversary, presented the volunteers with lifesaving equipment valuing £2,500.
The equipment ranged from gloves, hand search lights, handheld radios, to a large flat screen tv to assist with the larger school groups welcomed to the station, and the growing use of video-based training to encourage beach and sea safety.
This was made possible by the fund-raising activities started during the term of Very Worshipful Peggy Halford, who nominated the RNLI as her favoured charity.
The Lodge was consecrated on 17 October 1953 by the then Grand Master with founder Worshipful Brother Maud Amey becoming first Master. She remained a faithful and loyal member of the Colchester Lodge until she was 103, being the Lodge organist past her 100th birthday.
The donation is reminiscent of the original made 140 years ago in 1878 by the Freemasons of England, which funded the setting up of a RNLI station and lifeboat at Clacton-on-sea, in gratitude of the safe return of the Grand Master (the then Prince of Wales who later become King Edward VII) from a tour of India. This support continued, resulting with the first three lifeboats all bearing the name Albert Edward in recognition.

We have been coming to this area for years. What a wonderful surprise to find your cabins!! Great web site by the way! Thanks.
Do you know of a great link? Let us know!

One of the most debilitating things that can happen to us is to develop a problem that seriously impacts our quality of life on a daily basis. Every day we walk, drive, stand in lines, and go up and down stairs at home, at work, in shops. Imagine if all of these activities, which we take for granted, and should have every right to take for granted, were painful or even impossible to achieve. Imagine not being able to drive or walk. Severe pain in our feet can certainly prevent us from fulfilling daily activities.
There are many types of foot pain. Sprains, strains, fractures or degenerative conditions can cause them. Of course, if our foot is broken in an accident, we are going to have to make a lot of adjustments to our daily life while time and proper care takes it course. But if our problem is not as drastic as a break or a fracture, we have options available to us.
Foot pain caused by degenerative conditions can be treated without the need for potentially problematic pharmaceutical products or invasive, expensive, time consuming surgical procedures. There are functional medicine alternatives available. Depending on the seriousness of the problem, relief can be found in different ways. Acupuncture is often very effective, as is massage, ice, heat and gentle manipulation.
Acupuncture has been practiced in some countries for centuries, the benefits have been increasingly used in the west over the past 40 years. By inserting hair thin needles in specific areas, the natural meridians of the body are freed up of blockages. The eastern word Chi is often used to describe the energy in your body, which can become blocked, causing pain. By unblocking and releasing naturally produced chemicals in your body whose job is to find affected areas of weakness and provide support, the pain will often be reduced, or even disappear completely.
A relatively recent form of treatment for foot pain, as well as other body pains is Prolotherapy. This involves injections of a natural substance that is a corn derivative with other plant-based ingredients. This is a regenerative injection that is a viable alternative to treatments such as cortisone. Whereas cortisone can have terrible side effects, there are no known side effects to prolotherapy and the results have been exceptional in certain conditions.
One of the main problems with problems such as foot pain is that society has successfully brainwashed us into believing that any medical problem can best be dealt with by the use of pharmaceutical products. Natural help is at hand, and, if we can use our body's own systems to combat problems that we may encounter, we are likely to experience far fewer side effects and a peace of mind that we are not potentially poisoning our body.


2- Metals are still trending in full power, especially warm tones such as gold, brass, and rose gold. Luxury brands have introduced them in their furniture lines a few years ago and emphasized them more in their recent collections, such as Minotti, Baxter, Fendi Casa, and Roche Bobois among others. World renowned designers such as Kelly Wearstler, Jonathan Adler, Patricia Urquiola are using them in their interiors and products.
3- Cerused wood ( a technique that was absent for 500 years has made a comeback, a cerused finish is meant to highlight the contrast between the grain and the rest of the wooden surface usually using Oak). This technique is linked to the return to nature and greenery, it goes greatly with nature. The technique is very old and gives a beautiful finish to wood.
4- Marble has been around for a while and doesn't seem like it's going anywhere anytime soon. From exotic open book marble tiles to 'marble inspired' ceramic tiles, home accessories, and even phone covers. It is the most popular finish paired with warm metals and natural wood. Used on walls or floors, it is still a consumer favorite.
5- Patterned flooring and subway tiles have witnessed a great comeback in the past few years, whether 70's inspired patterns and colors or chevron timber flooring, tiles are never boring anymore. Trendy cafes, stylish apartments, & luxury hotels, are all embracing this trend.
6- Curved furniture as opposed to very symmetrical and straight pieces are more "in" now. Even famous brands known for the ultra modern and straight furniture have caved in and introduced curves. A perfectly symmetrical reception is no longer the sign of a high end design as it was before. In the past the more minimal a piece of furniture was, the more it indicated the futuristic and modern mentality of the designer or owner. Modern furniture brands like Minotti and Giorgetti introduced a wide range of pieces that are curvaceous, a very bold attempt by them. Curves mimic movement of the body as well as organic forms around us.
7- Velvets have made a huge comeback, brands like Fendi Casa have been working with fabric manufacturer 'Rubelli' on an exclusive velvet that is modern while solving the usual problems we encounter with this specific fabric. Hence their new collection was presented mostly in velvet with new colors emerging every season! The softness of the material is a great way to tone down the power of the other trending elements . Most fabric manufacturers such as Casamance, Designer's Guild, Elitis and Houles have come out with numerous velvet catalogs with different textures, softness, and thickness.
8- Outdoor furniture has been the focus of most furniture designers recently, this goes hand in hand with wanting to enjoy greenery and nature.
9- Artisanal , handmade, and bespoke pieces are still trending and will continue for a while. This allows a more personal touch to the space.
10- Smart home features are now a must. Using your iPhone to control your lighting, curtains, or cameras was an option many thought of as unnecessary. Now such features are not considered as a luxury but a part of upgrading your lifestyle. These systems now have eco-friendly features that help with saving energy thus aiding the environment.
11- Urban and industrial styles will remain for a while especially for commercial spaces, as they are the link to the original shape of a space, its history and raw form. This will include the continued use of cork, bricks, concrete, vintage furniture, and industrial elements such as exposed pipes and walls. This style is aimed towards millennials who have been shaping our present and future for a while now in everything especially design whether fashion, interiors, technology, or graphics. These are the same millenials who created Google, Facebook, and most other successful companies.
Whenever the human and humanity is involved, we can be certain the future of design will be bright. Away from the robots of the 90's, design is personal again, approached towards us: the employees, the consumers, the mothers, the fathers, and the children. Let's keep it this way!

I have a data table with columns showing frequency of events (in my case skiing accidents in different regions in the united states). The first column contains the region names. I want to compare means of Males and Females (Males and Females are another two columns in the data table) who had skiing accidents irrespective of region. I know FIT Y by X can do this, but I don't have a Y as all the numbers I have represents the number of cases. Is there a way I can compare means between Males and Females?
You need to use Tables -> Stack to get a data table similar to mine with a column for Region, Gender and Accidents. Then you can use Fit Y by X to get your analysis.
Start with your table and in the Stack dialog add the Male and Female columns to Stack Columns and then name the Stacked Data Column "Accidents" and the Source Label Column "Gender".
You'll get a table like this.
Then you can use Fit Y by X with Gender as your X and Accidents as your Y.
You'll find the analysis options under the Red Triangle at the top.
I'm not quite clear on the analysis you want to do but you can use the Accidents column in the Freq role to indicate that this column is a count of how many times this row occurs.
Let me know if I've misinterpreted how your data is laid out, and if you can clarify what question you're trying to answer we can try to point you to the appropriate analysis.
Thank Jeff. I apologize for the non-clarity in the question. My data looks something like this. All the numbers inside the table represents number of accidents reported.
Now, I would like to see if the mean of male accidents is significantly different from the mean of the female accidents, irrespective of region. The problem is I don't have a Y variable as the number of variables are implicitly embedded in the table, in other words, I don't have an explicit "accidents" column in the table. I hope I am little bit clear this time:) . By profession I am an engineer, apologies for my illiteracy in Stats.
With that layout you can try the Matched Pairs analysis platform (Add Male and Female columns as Y). However, you'll have more options if you stack the columns (Stack in Tables menu). Then you can use the Fit Y by X platform to compare means with Gender as X and the count data as Y. The variance appears higher for for males so you may want to look at a nonparametric method which are found in the red triangle menu in the Fit Y by X results window.
Wouldn't you just be comparing two numbers then, the total number of males vs females, if you're not interested in region?
This is a flawed analysis though, because you need the number of accidents per skiers-day really otherwise busier hills will always have more accidents and generally more males ski so there will be more male accidents.
Thanks for the input. I was not aware of such a powerful and robust command !
Thanks for the input. Agree, the data must be normalized to a characteristic quantity to get a sensible prediction. thanks.

Kriti Kharbanda reacts to rumours of dating Pagalpanti co-star Pulkit Samrat: 'We look so hot together'
Khush Khandelwal

Actress Kriti Kharbanda, who is currently gearing up for the release of Pagalpanti, recently opened up about the rumours of dating her co-star Pulkit Samrat.
Kriti Kharbanda reacts to rumours of dating Pulkit Samrat
Kriti Kharbanda has lately been romantically linked with her Pagalpanti co-star Pulkit Samrat, though neither star has opened up on the rumours yet.
Asked about how she reacts to the rumours, Kriti told IANS: "Can you blame them (for spreading the rumours)? We look so hot together. We have such great chemistry and look so cute together. Anybody would guess that we are in a relationship. Pulkit is very special to me and will always be so."
Although Kriti does not admit to dating Pulkit, she is obviously smitten by the actor. "We even complete each other's sentences while talking. I know what he is thinking. We have connected so much and had a lot of conversation. I think we have come to a point where we don't need to say anything to each other. We both know what the other one is thinking. He has changed drastically in the last one year and I am in awe. I am so impressed with the way he carries himself, the way he conducts himself and the respect he has for his co-actors and seniors. I know he is a good person and he is here to stay."
Pulkit and Kriti were last seen together in Veerey Ki Wedding last year, after which they return as a pair in Anees Bazmee's action-comedy Pagalpanti. The duo will also feature in Bejoy Nambiar's Taish.
Asked how Pulkit is as a co-actor, Kriti gushed about her rumoured boyfriend: "Working with Pulkit has been one of my most comfortable experiences. He is easy and doesn't have airs. He is spontaneous and I am like that, too. When you have a co-actor who thinks exactly like you, it is fun to work with that person because then you improvise. As a person, I have always been fond of him. I look forward to going to work when he is on the set."
On the work front, Kriti's latest release, the multi starer Housefull 4, is doing good business at the box office. She reacted: "It feels good. I think I rightly deserved it. I worked hard all through these years and I am proud of myself today. To be a part of an ensemble was not an easy decision. But fortunately, it worked out so well for me. Because of my good experience in Housefull 4, I went on to sign Pagalpanti. Because Housefull 4 gave me the confidence that as an actor I could stand out even in an ensemble cast. Today when people tag me on Instagram or when talk about me on social media, they recite my dialogue 'main abla hoon tabla nahi'. That's a great thing."
Kriti's next release Pagalpanti hits the theatres on November 22. Along with Kriti and Pulkit, the Anees Bazmee directorial also stars Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, Ileana D'Cruz, Arshad Warsi, Urvashi Rautela and Saurabh Shukla in key roles.

Is New Customer Acquisition at the Top of Your 2018 To-Do List?
New customer acquisition campaigns are constantly filling your marketing pipeline. Meanwhile, market conditions are constantly changing, as are consumer demographics and behaviors. And then there's your budget. You have to accomplish as much as possible across multiple marketing channels with your marketing investment and make every dollar count.
Your to-do list is long, but here are a couple of simple data-driven strategies that can help you work smarter and more efficiently so you can optimize your marketing dollars and acquire more and better customers, faster.
Instead of blanketing large audiences with generic offers, carve out select groups and make them more meaningful offers. To do this, try enriching your customer data with information that can help you better understand consumers. Use high-quality data—preferably direct-measured data versus survey or self-reported data—that can reveal consumers who are more likely to have the estimated financial capacity and propensity to purchase your products, services and programs. Data is also available that can show you consumer purchasing preferences, household composition, which marketing channels they use most, their spend capacity and more.
With a deeper view of consumers, you can better segment them into more targeted groups. For instance, by differentiating between households with children and without, you could promote budget-friendly family plans to those households with children. Alternatively, you might focus your offers for the latest, big-ticket mobile devices to households with higher estimated income and no children. You could then deliver your targeted offers via the channels they prefer, which might include a mix of addressable TV, mobile and online ads.
Recognize customers across channels and speak to them in a consistent voice. The customer experience is king these days, and anything you can do to create a positive impression at every touchpoint can help you win more new customers and increase loyalty among existing customers. However, it can be tricky to know if the same customer is visiting your website, viewing your ads, visiting your social media page, and calling your customer service department.
This is where data linking technology can help you better understand your customers. It works by linking customer and transaction data not only from disparate sources inside your organization, but also with relevant third-party data, for a more comprehensive view of your customers. This way, as you engage with or encounter a customer—be it through an online or mobile ad, or even through a customer support inquiry—you can provide better customer experience and more meaningful and consistent ads and offers across all your marketing channels. For instance, if you could recognize that a visitor to your website has an above-average estimated financial capacity, you could serve them a targeted ad for premium services or the hottest new wireless device, instead of a generic ad.
Another key area where data linking can really help communications marketers is segmentation. For example, a more complete, connected view of customers can offer the deeper insight you need to avoid marketing to delinquent customers, which can help preserve your marketing dollars. On the other hand, it could also help you target good-paying customers for service upgrades, and invite new customers to join loyalty programs.
You're busy—let the data do the work for you. The beauty of these ideas is that once you enrich and link your data, the data does the heavy lifting. It shows you the bigger picture of your customers and prospects so you can make your marketing dollars work harder and smarter in order to win their business.

A Mercer County grand jury returned indictments last week against two county correction officers in connection with the assault of an inmate in May of last year.
On May 11, 2016, while on duty at the Mercer County Correction Center in Hopewell, Wood allegedly punched an inmate in the face, causing him to fall to the floor. Wood allegedly then kicked the inmate multiple times. An investigation revealed that the inmate did not provoke or resist the officer, law enforcement officials said. Syphax allegedly witnessed the assault and did not intervene. The inmate was transported to the hospital for treatment. Both officers allegedly filed false police reports regarding Wood's use of force on the inmate.
According to correction officials, Wood and Syphax were engaged to be married at the time of the offense. They have since married. Both were suspended without pay shortly after the May 11 incident.

Canadian-American industrial designer Karim Rashid is on a mission to change the world and it is not for money or even greater fame, it's for his mother.
The man dubbed by Time magazine in 2001 as the "the most famous industrial designer in all the Americas" has designed everything from manhole covers to buildings, and prides himself among other things on having reclaimed the color pink for men.
Rashid, sporting pink jeans, a pink jumper and florescent pink nails for his appearance as guest speaker at the university, says he was inspired to become a designer by his father.
Rashid designed his first hotel in Athens in 2001, then did another in Berlin in 2008, before being courted by New York developers.
