You're fascinated by data. You love finding patterns in numbers, predicting future outcomes, and using that knowledge to hit company goals.
The thing is, you're a total beginner in data science. You've heard the term tossed around, and maybe you have some friends who work in the field. You also know that it's a pretty in-demand job at the moment, and that even if you're not passionate about breaking into a data science role, there are some data science skills worth having in your pocket (and on your resume).
Online classes can be a great way to quickly (and on your own time) learn about the good stuff, from technical skills like Python or SQL to basic data analysis and machine learning. That said, you may need to invest to get the real deal.
Below, we've outlined some of the highest rated and most popular free, short, and comprehensive courses you can take within the realm of data science—whether you're looking for a serious deep dive or just a casual overview.
A quick overview of terminology: You'll probably hear and see the term "machine learning" a lot when researching data science. While the two are closely intertwined, not all of data science (or data science roles) is comprised of machine learning. You may use it in some cases, especially when making predictions, while it's not necessary for things like visualizing or pulling data.
One other note: In general, knowing SQL is a must for any data science beginner. However, starting with Python can make it easier to transition to other languages.
Free is always better! Of course, most of the best stuff doesn't come for nothing—these courses will be a great base, but you'll probably want to toss some money into more extensive lessons if you're serious about a career in data science.
Want a general overview of Python or SQL (two important languages used extensively in data science) before getting in too deep? Codecademy's free courses are a great way to start learning the basics, for free.
If you're looking to start at the very beginning, this is a good point of entry. The class covers the general information you need to know—what data science and machine learning are, what a job in data science looks like on a day to day basis, and how Python fits into that picture.
You don't want to spend too much time in front of your computer, and maybe you're not too serious about data science just yet—but you want to understand the basics. Look no further than these options, which involve less of a time commitment!
Yes, linear algebra is actually super important in data science. If you don't want to go all the way back to school, this course should do the trick in just a day or two.
For a slightly steep price, you can complete a fairly comprehensive beginner course in just three hours—covering topics like AI, machine learning, computer science, and how they all come together.
Maybe you're trying to change careers or beef up your resume for a data science role. Either way, you'll get the whole spiel with one of these classes.
According to experts at The Muse (a.k.a., our very own data science team), this is the perfect starting point for learning about data science in a comprehensive format. Taught by Coursera's co-founder (yes, really), this course will dig deep into machine learning—what it is, how it works, and how you can apply it in a data science job.
Codecademy's paths are awesome for a number of reasons. One, they go in depth into a specific field in a structured way, giving you all the tools you need. Two, they're incredibly practical, helping you apply everything you learn to real-world situations and hands-on projects. Plus, they're developed by real engineers (in this case, a real data scientist) who know their stuff.
Similar to the machine learning class but in a longer format, this specialization is meant to cover the whole gamut. It focuses not only on data analysis, but also on the soft skills needed to be a data scientist—like making inferences and asking the right questions.
In addition to covering all the technical basics—including Python, SQL, and Github—Udacity's "nanodegree program" let's you work alongside experts and other students to ensure you're on the right track and get your questions answered.


My husband is a pretty typical outdoors man – he loves camo, hiking, four-wheeling, and dirt. He prefers to keep a full beard and someday hopes to let his hair grow long again (though I'd be okay if he passed on the man-bun hysteria). Like many men, he's not overly chatty unless you ask him the right question. Start talking lawn care, trucking, or LEGOs and he'll talk your ear off. Aside from that, however, I wouldn't consider him particularly communicative. Honestly, not many of the men in my life are.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a number of authors who are less concerned with how men actually talk and more concerned with how they would like men to talk. Nothing screams "author intrusion" like a lumberjack waxing poetic about the flaxen hair of his soulmate. Yes, you may find a rough and ready, hands-on man who has a softer poetic side, but let's be honest – most men will use two words when they should probably use ten.
Don't let your authors fall into the trap of creating flowery dialogue for a male character just because they think it sounds romantic or because it's an easy way to include backstory. It's unfair to the reader when the men become props instead of multi-dimensional characters.
To fix that, here are six tips for helping your clients create more realistic dialogue for male characters.
Know his passions. My husband will pretend to talk about football, but he couldn't care less (I don't think he actually watched a game until we got married). But, like I said earlier, he'll talk for hours about LEGOs. It's okay to have heroes who are chatty at times, but make sure it's about those things they care about.
Make it active. Men don't sit and talk over coffee the same way women do. Instead, they'll go fishing, watch the game, or fix the car together. They're active communicators, especially with each other. It's one thing to show a man and woman talking over dinner, but men talking with men should be shown in more realistic, active ways.
Be efficient. I joked about it earlier, but it's true – men rarely use ten words when one will do. That doesn't seem to stop authors from writing paragraphs (or pages!) of their male characters offering every detail about their days at work. There does need to be some suspension of reality (to let the characters tell their stories), but not at the expense of having the men provide information like women.
Embrace the silence. Women like to talk through their problems, often working out solutions as they converse. Men speak for specific reasons. It's not usually a part of their problem-solving process. They don't need to (or want to) give voice to every thought that pops into their heads. Male characters shouldn't either.
Body language. Unless it's a romance and the hero is trying to woo the heroine, it's doubtful that he's going to sit across from another person and look him/her in the eye while they talk. Instead, he's more likely to sit next to someone or fidget during a conversation.
Solve problems. Men are problem solvers. If you tell them your problems, they'll offer solutions. In fiction, however (especially romance novels), they listen and commiserate. There are certain situations when that can work (when the hero's trying to get on the heroine's good side), but not throughout the entire novel.
Does this mean a male character can never sit across the table from someone and talk over pizza? Of course not! Do all of the men need to give one-word answers? Absolutely not. There are always exceptions, and fiction does require some level of suspended reality, but you should hear warning bells if you see all of these issues in one of your clients' manuscripts.
By being aware of these male dialogue pitfalls, you can help your author create more authentic male characters by helping them sound like real men.

New Jersey Institutes Mandatory Mediation In Foreclosure Cases
Real Estate UPDATE
On October 16, 2008, as part of a larger economic recovery package, Governor Corzine announced that mediation would now be mandatory in certain foreclosure proceedings. The new mandatory foreclosure program is part of a statewide effort, which includes the Save New Jersey Homes Act of 2008, to attempt to reduce the number of foreclosures in New Jersey, which has skyrocketed 46 percent in the previous 12 months; September 2008 alone saw a 285% increase from September 2006.On October 16, 2008, as part of a larger economic recovery package, Governor Corzine announced that mediation would now be mandatory in certain foreclosure proceedings. The new mandatory foreclosure program is part of a statewide effort, which includes the Save New Jersey Homes Act of 2008, to attempt to reduce the number of foreclosures in New Jersey, which has skyrocketed 46 percent in the previous 12 months; September 2008 alone saw a 285% increase from September 2006.
The new program will be an expansion of the pilot program already in place in Middlesex County. Under the pilot program in Middlesex county, volunteers from the Middlesex County Bar Association are providing free mediation services for homeowners facing foreclosure. The Judiciary will expand the Middlesex program throughout the state, rolling it into Essex, Union, Ocean, Camden, Bergen and Hudson counties (the counties with the most foreclosures) by the middle of November, and completing the roll-out to the remaining counties by the middle of December.
Under the program, mediation will be required in all cases where homeowners contest owner-occupied foreclosure actions. In uncontested foreclosure cases (i.e., where the homeowner has failed to respond to a foreclosure complaint), courts will notify the unresponsive homeowner of the mediation process and encourage participating. Even after a default judgment is entered, mediation will remain an option for homeowners at any time before a sheriff's sale.
New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner is encouraged by the program and hopeful that it will lead to mutually beneficial arrangements for borrowers and lenders, while pointing out that the courts must and will remain neutral in all foreclosure matters. Middlesex Vicinage Assignment Judge Travis L. Francis, an early force behind the Middlesex program, added that the "[t]he worst thing a homeowner facing foreclosure can do is nothing."

Verba volant, scrīpta mānent es una cita latina tomada de un discurso de Cayo Tito al senado romano, y significa "las palabras vuelan, lo escrito queda". Se resalta con ella la fugacidad de las palabras, que se las lleva el viento, frente a la permanencia de las cosas escritas. En español se dice: lo escrito, escrito está y a las palabras se las lleva el viento.

Según Alberto Manguel, "la clásica frase Scripta manent, verba volant -que en nuestro tiempo ha pasado a significar «lo escrito permanece, las palabras se las lleva el aire»- antes expresaba precisamente lo contrario; se acuñó en alabanza de la palabra dicha en voz alta, que tiene alas y puede volar, en comparación con la silenciosa palabra sobre la página, que está inmóvil, muerta." Antes que Manguel, ya lo había señalado Jorge Luis Borges, en el prólogo a Retorno a Don Quijote, de Alberto Gerchunoff.

Gabrielle Y2 who took second place and Sunveer and Dylan Y4 who took third place. The Staff Band also performed for the children along with the orchestra's inaugural performance of Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida'. Thanks to all who participated. Ursuline certainly does have talent! A special thanks to our guest judges, Mrs Ward and Mrs Burke. Pictures to follow at a later date!
Year 1 and Year 2 went to Shrek's Adventure this week. Year 2 reported:- We had a great opportunity to bring story writing alive through drama. Using the basics of story writing the children used their knowledge to identify aspects of the Shrek Adventure as the beginning, middle and an end. The children also learnt how to use body language, facial expressions and movement to describe the different characters. We had a great fun filled day.
This term our rainbow on the stairs is to be transformed with pupils' artwork. Any child can produce a piece of artwork for display using any medium they like. It must be no larger than A4. Once completed hand to their teacher and it will be displayed along the stairs. Thank you to the Isla, Maliha, Nuh and Alicia for their recent amazing artwork.
On Monday 11th March Year 3 visited the Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Please see attached recount from Jenna about her interesting and informative day!
Congratulations to Year 4, Year 2, Year 1 and Reception who had no absences this week. Congratulations to Year 3 and Year 4 who also had no lates. Hopefully next week we have even more classes with no absences and no lates.

Back to False Teachers
Earl Paulk
Read various articles on Earl Paulk
Archbishop Earl Paulk, former pastor of Chapel Hill Harvester Church in Decatur, Georgia and presiding Bishop in the International Communion of Charismatic Churches* was a false preacher, teacher, self professed prophet and apostle and heretic. These are harsh words for someone who is supposed to be a representative of God and if I would be mistaken in my claims against him, surely God would not allow me to go unpunished. But as you will see, I am not the only one who makes these claims, and Earl Paulk proved himself to be all that I have said by what he has said and written. I will present some of his false teachings here, some of which are indeed heretical. I do this only as a last resort since I have contacted his Church four times without satisfaction, and because I was once a member of his congregation and may still have friends who attend there. (although Earl Paulk passed away, March 29, 2009, his nephew/son, Donnie Earl Paulk continues to preach some of the false doctrines that were taught to him by his uncle/father, and has also adopted some new heresies).
The following links will take you through the different, false belief systems that Earl Paulk promoted. He is mentioned in many of them, although others who promote them are mentioned also.
As you read about these different, complex belief systems, you should notice how they all seem to intertwine and relate to one another in some way. Even if you are not associated with Earl Paulk, your Church might be involved in some of the same beliefs and practices that he promotes. Bear in mind that there is some truth in these belief systems, but craftily, subtly, deception has crept in to confuse, and distort the truth according to God's Word.
Please go through the following links in succession if you can. The primary difficulties that exist with Earl Paulk and his Presbytery derive from this first and greatest heresy, Kingdom Now Theology. There are many components of Kingdom Now and some will be discussed in detail later on.
Please understand that Kingdom Now, Dominion, and Restoration Theology are very similar, each borrowing components from the other. Promoters of these movements don't necessarily agree with one another on every issue, but to a large extent, they do.
* Earl Paulk was forced to resign in October, 2006 as archbishop of the International Communion of Charismatic Churches (ICCC) after a member of his local church—the 6,000-member Cathedral at Chapel Hill in Decatur, Georgia—filed a lawsuit on August 31 charging him with using his position and spiritual role to manipulate women to have sex with himself, members of his family, and others, including visiting pastors, for many years...

Update October 6, 2011
My first concern about the legitimacy of this ministry began as Earl Paulk and the rest of his ministers repeatedly used the phrase, "...in covenant with God." After hearing that phrase over and over, I decided to do some study of my own about what it meant to be in covenant with God since I was hearing so much about it. My study took nearly a year, and what I found was that Earl Paulk and the leadership at CHHC were teaching a different covenant from that which Christ gave us according to the New Testament. What we were being taught resembled Old covenant principles mixed with something entirely new. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was all a part of Kingdom Now Theology. To better understand what Earl Paulk meant about what it means to be in covenant with God, I have provided two versions of CHHC's New Member's Handbook. The 1996 version is without notes and is slightly different than the 1998 version. The 1998 version shows my notes and what is highlighted are points with which I took issue.

Two Suspects Arrested By Police Over Alleged Firearm Trafficking In Plateau (Watch Video)
The Police command in Plateau says it has arrested two suspects over alleged trafficking of firearms from Plateau to the eastern part of the country through Nasarawa State.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said this during news briefing on Friday, in Abuja.
Adejobi said the suspects were arrested, following credible intelligence gathered by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) on the trafficking of Plateau, through Nasarawa to the East.
According to him, upon receipt of the intelligences, operatives of the IRT swung into action that led to the apprehension of the suspects in April.
He said the suspects were apprehended with two AK47 riffles and 51 rounds of live ammunitions, concealed in a bag of beans.
Adejobi said the firearms, concealed in a bag of beans to beat security checkpoints were meant for onward delivery to Nasarawa, where the receiver was waiting to deliver to the East.
The Police spokesman said investigation had revealed that the suspects were to transport the firearms to Anambra for some criminal elements in the area.
He added that the police had also arrested six suspects in Niger over criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, kidnapping, unlawful possession of prohibited firearms and hijacking of truck, lifting petroleum product.
He said the suspects were arrested by operatives of the IRT following a tip-off that one DAF Truck conveying 45,000 litres of PMS was hijacked at Saminaka in Niger at gun point by six gunmen.
Adejobi said sometimes in March, 2020 the IRT operatives received a tip-off that one DAF Truck conveying 45,000 litres of PMS belonging to a company was hijacked at Saminaka in Niger at gun point by six gunmen.
He said the driver of the truck and his conductor were kidnapped by the assailants in the incident that happened in March.
According to him, following the receipt of the information, IRT operatives swung into action and intercepted the hoodlums at Lambata Area of Niger.
He said investigations revealed that the suspects had discharged the products at unknown location, adding that the empty truck was recovered with six suspects arrested.

IRS to Automatically Adjust Prior Filed 2020 Returns with Unemployment Income
The IRS announced on March 31, that it will take steps to automatically refund money this spring and summer to people who filed their tax return reporting unemployment compensation before the recent law change made by the American Rescue Plan Act.
See Relax Tax's Amending a Tax Return at relaxtax.com/debtreview
The American Rescue Plan Act, signed on March 11, allows each taxpayer who earned less than $150,000 in modified adjusted gross income to exclude up to $10,200 of unemployment compensation from taxation. Since it applies to each taxpayer, married couples where both spouses received unemployment benefits may be able to exclude up to $20,400 if married filing status. The legislation excludes only 2020 unemployment benefits from taxes.
Because the change occurred after some people filed their taxes, the IRS will take steps in the spring and summer to make the appropriate change to the returns of these individuals, which may result in a refund. The first refunds are expected to be made in May and will continue into the summer.
For those taxpayers who already have filed and figured their tax based on the full amount of unemployment compensation, the IRS will determine the correct taxable amount of unemployment compensation and tax. Any resulting overpayment of tax will be either refunded or applied to other outstanding taxes owed.
For those who have already filed, the IRS will do these recalculations in two phases, starting with those taxpayers eligible for the up to $10,200 exclusion. The IRS will then adjust returns for those married filing jointly taxpayers who are eligible for the up to $20,400 exclusion and others with more complex returns.
There is no need for taxpayers to file an amended return unless the calculations make the taxpayer newly eligible for additional federal credits and deductions not already included on the original tax return.
See this related post from Dennis Harabin: An Advisory for All Entrepreneurs: IRS Crisis Arises
For several years now, the IRS has required payments made to merchants through various marketplaces, payment processors (credit & debit cards), and third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs) to be reported on Form 1099-K. The purpose being to uncover merchants that do not report all of their income by comparing the 1099-K amounts to the amount reported on the individual's or business's tax return and following up with the under-reporters by correspondence or by audit.
For example, the IRS can adjust returns for those taxpayers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and, because the exclusion changed the income level, may now be eligible for an increase in the EITC amount which may result in a larger refund. However, taxpayers would have to file an amended return if they did not originally claim the EITC or other credits but now are eligible because the exclusion changed their income.

(Re)Discovering Europe
ADESTE+
ECoC Projects
A Look Towards 2020: ECOC and CND GALA CONCERT
"(Re)discovering Europe" is the first project for which the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc received funding from the European Union through co-financing from the Creative Europe program. The project, which centers around modern Europe and the challenges it faces today, will try to view the perspectives of minorities – how different minorities participate in creating the identity of modern Europe and whether theatre can offer a different view of Europe through this discourse.
The Italian Drama ensemble of the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc is the project leader, and the minority theatre will work with the following partners:
Teatrul German de Stat Timisoara (German Theatre of the City of Timisoara, Romania); – Teatro stabile Sloveno / Permanent Slovenian Theatre of Trieste (Italy);
National Institution Albanian Theatre Skopje (North Macedonia);
Kosztolányi Dezső Színház (Kazalište Kosztolányi Dezső (in Hungarian language), (Subotica, Serbia).
"(Re)discovering Europe" will conduct its activities through all partner cities: Trieste, Timisoara, Subotica and Skopje, of which three cities are connected through the "European Capital of Culture" program:
Rijeka, European Capital of Culture 2020
Timisoara, European Capital of Culture 2021
Subotica as the nearest city to Novi Sad, European Capital of Culture 2021
The project will further confirm their European identity, belonging to European values, and readiness of intercultural dialogues in the local, regional and European context.
The citizens of Rijeka will be able to take part in various programs within the framework of the "(Re)discovering Europe" project:
A theatrical co-production based on Luigi Pirandello's work "Mountain Giants"
The "Theatrical Knowledge Incubators" educational programs in cooperation with regional art schools, developed through three subprograms:
"How to Watch" workshops designed for actors, students of dramatic arts, artists and coordinators of contemporary dance and theatre programs
Informal workshops of an educational nature designed for the audience, "Flea Market of Theatre Knowledge"
"Euro Performance," a workshop for students of dramatic arts
Audience development program: performative cuisine – culinary diversity
Interdisciplinary workshop for actors "From Pirandello to Brexit," led by the editor of the play "Mountain Giants," Paolo Magelli
Scientific research of the Faculty of Economics of Rijeka on (non)inclusion of minorities in cultural life and project evaluation
"(Re)discovering Europe" is a project with the potential to create a permanent platform that would gather an ensemble of national minorities at the European level. In this way, in addition to promoting intercultural dialogues, these ensembles and their members can receive the opportunity to present themselves in markets that were previously inaccessible to them due to linguistic and cultural differences.
Such a way of connecting would help minorities to raise their importance, recognition and visibility on the local, national and European level, as well as to increase the international mobility of their artists. This format would bring together various cultural backgrounds and languages, which would not be an obstacle here, but rather an advantage in the search for a unique theatrical language that transcends national specificities.
Different artistic markets, to which the ensembles participating in the project "(Re)discovering Europe," will be able to present their work, are an opportunity to access a new, wider audience. After the premiere at the Croatian National Theatre Ivan pl. Zajc in Rijeka (the Italian Drama's parent organization), the project will be presented in Trieste, Timisoara, Subotica and Skopje (cities whose minority ensembles will participate in the project). The idea is to present future projects in countries within the same speech community, thus expanding the radius of access to potential audiences, and giving participating artists the opportunity to act transnationally and internationally. This will be a direct result of the project, as well as a sustainability test. In the case of the German theatre in Timisoara, the plan is to present the project and their theatre partners in Germany, as well as at German-speaking festivals (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
As the project is part of the Rijeka 2020 European Capital of Culture program, Timisoara 2021 European Capital of Culture, and the Novi Sad 2021 European Capital of Culture, the presentation of performances in different environments and other joint activities will represent these cities as European Capitals of Culture.

Algorithmic trading is becoming the industry lifeblood – it is cheaper, faster and easier to control than standard trading and it enables you to pre–think′ the market, executing complex math in real time. We are no longer limited by human bandwidth′, but the industry is secretive with few willing to share the secrets of their success.
An Introduction to Algorithmic Trading is an introductory guide to this hugely popular area. It begins with demystifying this complex subject and providing readers with specific and usable algorithmic trading knowledge. It outlines the current trading algorithms, the basics of their design, what they are, how they work, how they are used, their strengths, their weaknesses, where the industry is now and where it is going.
The book then features a section describing the choice of stocks to trade on the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange, analytics, and metrics used to optimize trading results – and for the more adventurous reader, a section on how to design trading algorithms.
Finally the authors demonstrate a selection of detailed proprietary and never before seen algorithms targeted exclusively for use by individual traders to trade their own accounts. These algorithms have been developed and used by the authors and are being published here for the very first time.
This is an ideal book for the reader interested in understanding and harnessing the power of algorithmic trading systems, and is accompanied by a CD Rom which provides a quick hands on′ route to exploring the power of algorithmic trading on trade NASDAQ and NYSE stocks.


The University of Waikato's dean of Māori and Indigenous Studies takes a moment to tautoko his colleague Professor Pou Temara in the wake of a petition to strip Sir Bob Jones of his knighthood.
Last week a colleague, University of Waikato's Professor of Tikanga and Reo, Pou Temara, hand delivered a 68,000 strong petition to parliament demanding Sir Bob Jones' knighthood be revoked. The petition relates to a recent column in the National Business Review by Sir Bob Jones which has since been deleted from the NBR's website due to rightful public outrage. The piece referred to a 'Māori Gratitude day': "I have in mind a public holiday," wrote Jones, "where Maori bring us breakfast in bed or weed our gardens, wash and polish our cars and so on…". Without giving a reason, Jones also makes reference to a "Professor Temaru [sic]", which we can only assume refers to the University of Waikato's Professor of Tikanga and Reo, Pou Temara.
This swinging pendulum of tolerance and intolerance can come to hit you squarely in the face when a colleague of yours, a tohunga no less, is derided within a public forum. Without wanting to give Jones any more mana than he deserves, academics must serve as that critical voice and rebuke the column from one of New Zealand's most recognisable figures as an unacceptable display of racism. It came not long after a high-profile back-down from Sir William Gallagher, who publicly denigrated the Treaty of Waitangi and its significance. These events are not simply the condemnable acts of individuals, rather, they are symptomatic of a faction of society who struggle, or whose ignorance has enabled them to willfully bemoan the great strides that Māori have made in the last 50 years.
Although the fundamentals of the civil rights movement are generally accepted today, more recent political events suggest that intolerance and injustice are on the rise, which is why universities must support academics who are willing to stand up and be counted. Universities must not forget their key role as critic and conscience of society. University of Cambridge's Graham Virgo suggests, "In the wake of the denigration of the views of 'experts' by certain supporters of the Trump and Brexit campaigns, the need for universities, and those who work in them, to challenge and criticise publicly is greater than ever". Like Virgo, I believe universities should helping to create civil and just societies by teaching our students to think critically and to have a respect for other cultures.
Although Gallagher retracted his comments, and Jones' column was ultimately censored, a not unimportant faction of New Zealand society remains who would like to continue to subjugate Māori to their 'proper occupations' – serving breakfast in bed, weeding gardens and washing cars. Indigenous Studies and other disciplines must uphold that ideal of the critic and conscience of society, and speak out against discourses that continue a legacy of colonial ignorance and racism. Like Professor Temara, we must teach and show our young people that the uplifting of others does not have an inverse effect on the richness of their lives; in fact, quite the opposite.

AES E-Library Subscriptions Benefit Institutions and Organizations
PR Staff ⋅ Mar 29, 2018
New York, NY — Does your research staff, faculty or students deserve access to the world's most comprehensive collection of audio information? The continuously growing Audio Engineering Society (AES) E-Library contains over 16,000 fully searchable PDF files documenting the progression of audio research from 1953 to the present day. It includes every AES paper published from every AES convention and conference, as well as those published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society. From the phonograph to MP3s, from early concepts of digital audio through its fulfillment as the mainstay of audio production, distribution and reproduction, to leading-edge realization of spatial audio and audio for augmented and virtual reality, the E-Library provides a gateway to both the historical and the forward-looking foundational knowledge that sustains an entire industry.
The AES E-Library has become the go-to online resource for anyone looking to gain instant access to the vast amount of information gathered by the Audio Engineering Society through research, presentations, interviews, conventions, section meetings and more. "Our academic and research staff, and PhD and undergraduate Tonmeister students, use the AES E-Library a lot," says Dr. Tim Brookes, Senior Lecturer in Audio & Director of Research Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR) University of Surrey. "It's an invaluable resource for our teaching, for independent student study and, of course, for our research."
"Researchers, academics and students benefit from E-Library access daily," says Joshua Reiss, Chair of the AES Publications Policy Committee, "while many relevant institutions – academic, governmental or corporate – do not have an institutional license of the AES E-library, which means their staff or students are missing out on all the wonderful content there. We encourage all involved in audio research and investigation to inquire if their libraries have an E-Library subscription and, if not, suggest the library subscribe."
E-Library subscriptions can be obtained directly from the AES or through journal bundling services. A subscription allows a library's users to download any document in the E-Library at no additional cost.
"As an international audio company with over 25,000 employees world-wide, the AES E-library has been an incredibly valuable resource used by Harman audio researchers, engineers, patent lawyers and others," says Dr. Sean Olive, Acoustic Research Fellow, Harman International. "It has paid for itself many times over."
The fee for an institutional online E-Library subscription is $1800 per year, which is significantly less than equivalent publisher licenses.
To search the E-library, go to http://www.aes.org/e-lib/.
To arrange for an institutional license, contact Lori Jackson directly at lori.jackson@aes.org, or go to http://www.aes.org/e-lib/subscribe/.

UN Palestinian Refugee Agency Deletes Tweet Lauding Terrorist
Deborah Danan
TEL AVIV – The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has blamed a tweet praising a Palestinian terrorist on a "brief, unauthorized access" of its official Twitter account.
UNRWA deleted the tweet after an outcry from several monitoring groups. The tweet featured a headline from the Palestine Chronicle charging Israel with removing a memorial "honoring famed Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani" in the northern city of Acre.
The memorial was a statue commemorating Kanafani as a Palestinian "intellectual and writer." Kanafani is thought to have been responsible for a 1972 terror attack at Lod airport. Israeli authorities demanded that local Arab authorities remove the statue, stating "we will not allow memorials in honor of terrorists in Israel."
Hillel Neuer, the executive director of United Nations watchdog group UN Watch, accused the agency of endorsing Kanafani.
"@UNRWA backs Ghassan Kanafani, spokesman of PFLP terror group when it perpetrated 1972 Lod Airport Massacre, killing 26—17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, a Canadian citizen & 8 Israelis—and injuring 80," Neuer tweeted.
"Why do EU, UK, Germany & Canada fund UNRWA?" he added.

— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) December 24, 2018
UNRWA subsequently deleted the original tweet.
Neuer responded to the deletion by calling on European governments, which provide the agency's main funding since the Trump administration cut aid earlier this year, to demand accountability.
"I hope that UNRWA's removal of the post indicates its recognition that a supposed UN humanitarian agency has no business tweeting on political controversies — let alone supporting a terrorist involved in mass murder," Neuer said.
"UNRWA receives massive financial and political support from Britain, Germany, Sweden, the EU and Canada, and they bear responsibility; it's time for those governments to demand basic accountability," he added. "We remind UNRWA that support for terrorism constitutes a gross violation of the UN Charter as well as UNRWA's own internal policies concerning neutrality and impartiality, including with respect to public pronouncements."
"I'm concerned that the tweet reflects a pattern of action that adversely reflects on UNRWA's status, integrity, independence and impartiality," he added, pointing to "numerous reports" that have found that the agency has "a pattern and practice of employing teachers who publish incendiary social media posts glorifying anti-Israel terrorism and antisemitism, which amount to a gross violation of this duty of neutrality."
"UNRWA must stop engaging in political, racial, religious or ideological controversies."
UNRWA has come under fire on many occasions for spreading anti-Semitic hate in its schools and employing members of terror organizations and supporters of terror. In February, UN Watch released a 130-page report exposing 40 UNRWA school employees in Gaza and elsewhere who engaged in incitement to terror against Israelis and expressed "anti-Semitism, including by posting Holocaust-denying videos and pictures celebrating Hitler."
That month the agency also announced the suspension of an UNRWA employee suspected of having been elected a Hamas leader.
The UN itself released a report in 2015 that found Palestinian terror groups used three empty UNRWA schools in Gaza as a weapons cache. Moreover, it said that in at least two cases terrorists "probably" fired rockets at Israel from the schools during the 50-day summer conflict in 2014 between Israel and Hamas.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert, who is slated to take over from Nikki Haley as envoy to the UN, described UNRWA as "irredeemably flawed."

What are the hunting regulations in Bear Creek, AL?
In Alabama, all hunters whether resident or non-resident, must have a valid Alabama hunting license. You can only hunt game that is legal to hunt and only during the appropriate seasons. Most seasons are also open only during certain times of day, so be sure to pay attention to the times during which you may hunt for the game you're hunting. In order to hunt on private property that is not your own or that is not part of a state partnership, you need to obtain permission from the land owner. A complete guide the Alabama's hunting regulations can be found in the Alabama Hunting & Fishing Digest, which is available for download from the eRegulations website.

Which Ariana Grande Song Are You?
Start Quiz!
Every single time Ariana Grande releases a new song, it becomes a certified hit. In fact, she has become such a force in the music industry that she now has over 20 Guinness World Records. The most recent record she broke was when her song "Positions" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This was her fifth song to reach that plateau. It also got her into an elite club of world record holders.
Ariana Grande was also the first solo artist to have the top three songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2019, including "Thank U, Next." During that same month, she also had a total of 11 songs in the Top 40, another record. She is also the most popular female musician on Spotify, Instagram, and YouTube. This is because every single one of her songs can relate to just about anyone in any place in the world. Her love for her songs just may be part of what keeps her on top.
Ariana Grande performing live is another way for people to fall in love with her music, which is also why we came up with this quiz. This quiz will tell you exactly which Ariana Grande hit you are.

Daily Mail: Meghan Markle's future sister-in-law arrested
By Junie Sihlangu

Duchess Meghan's half-brother Thomas Markle Jr.'s fiancée, Darlene Blount, was arrested last Friday. She was taken in for assault.
According to Daily Mail, she spent the night in prison before being bailed out. This isn't the first time that she gets in trouble for assault.
On Friday, Darlene Blount, 37, the fiancée of Thomas Markle Jr, 51, was arrested in Grants Pass, Oregon, on a charge of assault in the fourth degree. A deputy at Josephine County Jail shared that she was bailed the following day.
A source revealed, 'Last night there was a domestic violence call at the home of Thomas Markle [Jr] and Darlene Blount. Darlene was arrested on assault charges.'
For more on this story go to our Twitter account @amomama_usa. Not much information has been released about her recent arrest.
This is the second time, in a matter of months, which Blount has been arrested. On New Year's Eve Police were called to the home of Markle and his fiancée, then-36.
At the time, she had told the 911 operator, that her fiancé was being 'really [expletive] weird' and was beating himself up. She said Markle had been drinking at a local bar when he became jealous after thinking she was trying to hook up with some other guy that she knew.
Blount claimed that she was scared because her fiancé was 'a big guy.' She also suggested to the operator that he could be mentally ill.
However, when police arrived at the couple's home they didn't believe Blount's story that Markle hurt himself and arrested her for assault. She stayed at the Josephine County Jail for two nights until the District Attorney decided not to press charges and released her.

The couple later labeled the incident a wake-up call and said they were seeking relationship and alcohol counseling. A year before, in January 2016, Markle was arrested for allegedly holding a gun to Blount's head during another drunken fight.

>Success, failure, and giving up.
So I hit an interesting place a little more than a month ago. My program worked. But it didn't give results that were terrible helpful. Talk about an anti-climax.
The good part is that the GA+NN combination works wonders. I had it crunching through 50 different chromosomes for about 30 generations using 12 indicators. It ran through all of that in about 30 minutes on my cutesy laptop. Amazing. I'm pleasantly surprised by that performance. I'm still interested in parallel programming and seeing if I can get this baby on the cloud and playing about with it there, but don't need to do it right now.
Now keep in mind that I have all the advanced NN stuff only in the matrix form of the program, and I have no clue how to turn that into a form usable by the GA. But using the NN-function as it was since the last post, and improving the GA function, I was able to get up to 70% directional accuracy in the forecast 5 days into the future. WOOOO!!
Thats amazing. Thats fantastic. I made that program & I trust it to be true and I stand by those results, which are in line with what the authors of the book have. I'd have done cartwheels if I didn't think that I'd probably hurt myself. This is amazing because with 3 indicators I can say with (approximately) 65% accuracy which way the market is going to be 5 days in the future.
And now the other part.
This is all well and good, but forecasting doesn't make money; trading does. I selected those 3 indicators, ran them through an array-version of the NN for an arbitrary 2000 epochs (Runs through the data), and then tested them on data immediately after the training data in the timeline. The results were showing losses. I changed it from only doing take-profits and stop-losses that were fixed to trailing stop-losses and take-profits, and finally no take-profits, to see if the results would improve if I cut my losses short and let my profits run.
The significant difference was that I went from making small losses to making small profits. Good, but no dice. The problem I had with this was that it was having an R-expectancy less than what I had with the random-entry system! What a waste of my time. Those were not good days.
And how I dealt with it.
Not as effectively as I could have. Thats the short version.
The long version is as follows. I got off the computer and didn't touch the programs for a bit, and tried to just figure out some way to get beyond this issue. After about 2 weeks of doing this unsuccessfully, I just stopped thinking about it at all. Then I lost myself doing fun stuff that wasn't productive at all. Then I made a few phone calls and spoke to some people about career stuff. I tried to get a volunteer position with some of the business improvement associations in the neighbourhood but didn't get any response that got me actually getting work done with them (Just the usual we'll-call-you-sometime-in-the-undefined-future). Then one of those contacts asked me if I could make a simulator in a user-friendly manner for them.
So that got me thinking. I could still put my programs to good use. There is definitely something here that is promising, and it would be good to figure out some way of sharing this. I might even get a job out of it someday. So lets do this. Lets try to have a better interface to my system than just a text interface. Lets try to make it user-friendly.
And I also figured out what was going on with the system that I had made. I was using the GA to find something that would have better directional accuracy. It delivered exactly that. I was not asking it to help me with something that would be profitable, though.
This might herald the next evolution of my system. Lets have a look at the history. I had the technical indicators. I had the trade simulator. I ran those manually. Then I made more code that wrapped around all of that in the form of an NN so that it would find out what weights each technical indicator should have, as opposed to weighing them myself in an arbitrary manner. I delegated that task to the NN. Then I wondered if, perhaps, the NN was just wasting its time with some indicators. So I built the GA around the NN to find out which indicators are always showing up at the top of each generation consistently. I've started with a few tools and have since then been building wrappers around them, with each layer building on top of the previous one.
Right now the system has identified the indicators that matter. How about I make another system with those indicators fixed, that searches for a robust set of trading parameters that are profitable? I'm going to rephrase that just in case I've not been clear (Its late, I should have gone to bed about an hour ago, but I want to get this done first). Right now the system I have searches the problem-space for the most useful indicators (Useful in the directional accuracy sense). Now that I have the answer to that I could start searching the problem-space for the best (As in robust) trading parameters (Like stop-loss levels and take-profit targets and the like). Which makes me wonder why I didn't just do that in the first place using the random-entry method. D'uh. There have been moments during this project when I've felt like a genius of diminutive proportions. This is one of those moments. Not my brightest hour, true, but its better to find out than to stay in the dark. Back to topic. I could also have trading parameters for entry points as some function of the NN's output. Things are looking better, now that I know (Or at the very least, have an idea) of what actions to take next. Good stuff.
Only 3 indicators consistently were in the chromosomes representing the NNs with the highest directional accuracy. Crazy, right? Especially out of 12 possible indicators? Lets get rid of the suspense. The 3 indicators were the ATR; an indicator that divided the close by the average of the last 10 closes; and moving-average(5) minus moving-average(10) all divided by moving-average(5) (Moving averages of closing prices of the last 'n' days). Thats it! Those 3 consistently made the list, generation after generation through the GA. Weird. Or not weird, but definitely counter-intuitive.


The Catasauqua Area School District has developed a comprehensive assessment plan that is aligned to Pennsylvania Core Standards, Assessment Anchors, and local curriculum. The Math, English/Language Arts, and Science PSSAs and Keystone Exams provide CASD with a wealth of information related to student achievement with respect to the standards and anchors; however, additional assessments are required to provide administrators, teachers, students, and parents with more frequent information related to student progress toward grade level expectations. The district periodically administers the Math, English/Language Arts, and Science Study Island Benchmark Assessments during the year to provide assessment data that is aligned to the standards and anchors. Additionally, the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) benchmark assessments are administered in the fall, winter and spring in grades K-6. The ongoing student achievement data provided by these benchmark assessments is extremely helpful in identifying students' strengths and weaknesses prior to the state assessments. Furthermore, students in grades 6-12 participate in the Classroom Diagnostic Tools assessments. Teachers utilize data from all assessment sources to modify classroom instruction and target students' skill deficiencies.
