I sent DH a check last Sunday night (June 10 2007). Today is Saturday June 16. How long does it take before I get my email about my new hosting account?
You can always write into sales and ask. As this is primarily a customer-to-customer forums, no one here can answer your question I'm afraid.
If you actually put a check in the USPS, I'd be patient. The postal service will take from 7 to 14 days to deliver a letter. Then DH needs to deposit the check and wait for it to clear which can take from 5 to 10 business days. By that, you may have a bit to wait yet for your account.
Those numbers seem a bit high, but I'm sure the OP gets the message: Sending a physical check in the mail is bound to be slow. The mail was picked up on Monday. USPS will generally deliver mail in one to five business days, unless either endpoint is Alaska, Hawaii, or some similarly "remote" area.
Checks will clear between one to five business days as well, depending on whether the financial institution is a bank directly connected to the federal reserve system or another financial institution that will have to clear through such a bank. It also depends on whether the funds can clear within a single federal reserve district or whether they have to go between districts.
I'd hazard a guess that it will be two to three weeks from the time you put the check in the mail. Sorry for the gory details.
Amusing trivia factoid: The postal service used to deliver mail three times a day in NYC. So you could put a letter in the mail in the morning and it would be delivered in the afternoon!
You're right, my numbers are a little out of norm, but I believe are the 'official' time lines you'll get from the post office. They do generally make it across the US with a letter in 5 or 6 days, but there's no promise of that. In fact if the USPS looses a letter or package they won't investigate it for a full 30 from when it was sent. Till then it's still apparently acceptable delivery time.
Thanks everyone. Just wanted to let you know that DH activated my account 9 days after I sent the check.
I'm pleased with the service I've received so far.
[quote]Thanks everyone. Just wanted to let you know that DH activated my account 9 days after I sent the check.
Thanks for keeping us posted! I'm sure those with similar questions who come after you will appreciate your providing this information as well.
From another post there is experience that it took 2 weeks. One of the problem my because of Google payment delay to Dreamhost. But maybe you should contact support from the web panel or write to them directly (support at dreamhost.com).
I'm guessing you didn't read that he was all set up now before posting.
It won't take more than 24 hours. Good luck.

Michael Capellas to Lead First Data
By Meridith Levinson, CIO	 Jul 11, 2007 12:03 pm PDT
Michael Capellas was appointed CEO of First Data, the Denver-based electronic payment solutions provider announced yesterday. Capellas will assume his new role once First Data is acquired by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR), which is expected by the end of the third quarter of 2007.
The former Compaq Computer CIO succeeds Henry "Ric" Duques, who announced his intention to retire from the chairman and CEO roles in late 2005.
Capellas has served as a senior adviser to investment firm Silver Lake Partners since 2006. Prior to that, he led MCI out of bankruptcy as the company's CEO from 2002 until it was acquired by Verizon in 2006. Before MCI, he was CEO of Compaq Computer from 1999 to 2002, during which time he helped broker the company's sale to HP. After HP bought Compaq, he was named president of the combined company.
Capellas originally joined Compaq in 1998 as CIO and served as COO before being named CEO. He holds a bachelor of business administration degree from Kent State University. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Cisco Systems and serves on the national board of the Boys and Girls Club of America.
Given Capellas' history of readying companies for sale as their CEO, I wouldn't be surprised if First Data is eventually sold to another company. Private equity firms such as KKR are also known for buying companies, turning them around and putting them up for sale.

Another rare song I found in my grandfather's record album collection!..... Bill Smith's comments; "A drinking song sung famously by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, adapted in the form of a rondel. We recorded it for Waverley Records on the "Burds" EP's. It found its way eventually on to this first Elektra issue"


SisterFund is a grassroots donor education and grant-making initiative, uniting women's ideas and actions through philanthropy and collective giving. Our membership is comprised of 45+ women who widely represent Richmond's diversity trademark, giving together to create lasting and positive change. Our mission is to improve the lives of African American women and girls by transforming local nonprofits through significant, collective financial investments. SisterFund members engage in an experience that transforms our community in this powerful journey of giving.
This November, SisterFund awarded the largest grant in its history -- $40,000 -- to support Girls for Change, a youth development organization empowering black girls and other girls of color to advance their 21st Century skills and visualize their full potential. This award will fund the Girl Ambassador program, which prepares 9th-12th grade girls of color for 21st Century jobs, especially in the STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). Participants will work with top employers, build their skills and widen their professional network.
"I am full of gratitude for the SisterFund and all they have done to support black women and black girl initiatives," said Angela Patton, CEO of Girls For A Change. "To have black women come together in this way and support organizations who are intentional about advancing black girls is priceless to me. These women have jumped over unimaginable hurdles to be the successful women they are today. I want my girls to be like them."

Q: Ancestor to all reachable node I wrote it as such. But it only succeed in finding till the grandparent, and not any further. How do I write it in such a way that it finds all possible ancestor. That is, finding greatgrandparent and even further if there exist such fact?
 ancestor(X, Y) :- parent(X, Y); parent(X,Z), parent(Z,Y).

Given
parent(greatgrand_parent, grand_parent).
parent(grand_parent, parent).
parent(parent, child).

Returns only
?- ancestor(What, child).
What = parent ;
What = grand_parent ;
false.

A: you forget the recursive call: try
ancestor(X, Y) :- parent(X, Y) ; parent(X,Z), ancestor(Z,Y).

and you get
?- ancestor(X,child).
   X = parent
;  X = greatgrand_parent
;  X = grand_parent
;  false.

A: Transitive closure is a frequently recurring problem in Prolog. So why not separate the specific - in your case the relation parent/2 from the general - a relation closure/3.
| ?- closure(parent, What, child).
What = greatgrand_parent ? ;
What = grand_parent ? ;
What = parent ? ;
no

Scotland to keep discount rate at -0.75%
Clarke: No consultation this time
The discount rate in Scotland is to stay at -0.75%, the Government Actuary has decreed in another decision that has angered insurers.
But the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) has praised the Scottish government for following the lead of Westminster in resisting "the shameless and sustained pressure from insurers" to raise it.
In July, the then Lord Chancellor David Gauke increased the discount rate in England and Wales from -0.75% to -025%, but still significantly lower than many – particularly insurers – had been expecting.
The Damages (Investment Returns and Periodical Payments) (Scotland) Act 2019 became law in April and changed the way the discount rate was to be calculated.
It approaches this in a different way to the Civil Liability Act 2018 by putting the decision in the hands of the Government Actuary and being far more prescriptive about what should be in the notional investment portfolio used to calculate the rate, along with a hypothetical investment period of 30 years.
Martin Clarke, the Government Actuary, said he had reached a figure of 0.5%, which was then subject to two prescribed adjustments: -0.75% for tax and costs of investment advice and management, and -0.5% for further margin on the rate of return.
He added that, under the previous Wells v Wells approach, the rate would have been between -1.5% and -2%.
Mr Clarke said that, although the Act allowed him to consult in making his recommendation, he chose not do so because there was a relatively short period between the new legislation coming into force and the timing of the first review, "which means that there is limited scope for new evidence or views to emerge".
Further, he said, he was able to test the suitability of the economic assumptions made against his department's "house views and other publicly available sources", and also considered the evidence collected for Mr Gauke's decision.
As in England and Wales, the rate will now be reviewed every five years.
Alastair Ross, assistant director, head of public policy (Scotland, Wales and NI), at the Association of British Insurers, said: "This is a bad outcome for Scottish insurance customers and taxpayers that does not reflect the real world environment of how investment decisions are made.
"It means that compensators, including the NHS, public bodies and insurers, will face higher payouts in Scotland.
"A discount rate that's lower for Scotland than England and Wales will mean higher insurance costs north of the border, which could push up premiums for Scottish motorists as a result."
However, APIL president Gordon Dalyell welcomed "the certainty which this announcement will bring to injured people in Scotland and the transparency in the way the discount rate is calculated".
He said the fact the calculation was set out clearly in legislation, minimising political influence on the process, "is very welcome in these times of economic and political uncertainty".
Mr Dalyell added: "Governments in both Westminster and Holyrood have faced shameless and sustained pressure from insurers to set the discount rate at a level which suits their profit margins rather than injured people, and the transparency of the Scottish legislation, in particular, is a protection against that."
Data analytics company Consumer Intelligence said yesterday that the change in England and Wales has pushed up motor premiums by an average of 0.7% in the past three months.
The recent interim results from Admiral Insurance, meanwhile, said the rate had reduced its UK motor profit in the period by £33m because of "higher claims incurred and lower profit commission", and increased its combined ratio by almost 7% points to 86.5%. It had been reserving on the basis of a 0% rate.
The total impact of the new rate on Admiral's profit is expected to be £50-60m.

Beer gardens got their start in 16th-century Germany, and Bavaria beckons when fall comes and Oktoberfest ramps up. But you don't have to travel overseas to find big outdoor patios, long communal tables, good food, and superb beer. Here are some great beer gardens across the United States with specials that save patrons a buck or two.
VBGB serves 30 types of craft beer and imports on a huge patio. A "frost rail," a 5-inch block of ice, runs the length of the bar — perfect for keeping those brews cold. The restaurant has weekly specials (including $3 craft beer on Tuesday) and often posts deals on its social media accounts.
Killmeyer's has been around a long time — it was already in business when Nicolas Killmeyer bought it (and changed its name) around 1855. In addition to a traditional restaurant and live entertainment, there's a pretty awesome beer garden. It boasts some weekly specials and happy hour deals from 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays, such as $5 bratwurst hoagies.
Grant's Farm (free admission; $12 for parking) was bought by the Busch family — as in Anheuser-Busch — from former president Ulysses S. Grant. It has rides, baby goats to feed, and other children's attractions for a small fee, but also a courtyard beer garden. Guests of age can sample Anheuser-Busch products for free with lunch.
Greenwood Park is a family-friendly beer garden built out of an old gas station and mechanic shop. It boasts 60 beer lines, bocce ball courts, and a menu with traditional bar fare as well as vegetarian and vegan options. Drinks are $2 off during happy hours from noon to 7 p.m.
The legendary Bavarian beer garden and restaurant in Munich, Germany, has lent its name to about a half-dozen franchises stateside. Hofbräuhaus St. Petersburg offers daily live entertainment and classic German fare. There are plenty of $5 happy hour specials, including well drinks, house wines, and half-liter beers.
Picnic-table-style outdoor seating is one of the allures of Philadelphia's Frankford Hall. The restaurant, in a renovated industrial space featuring reclaimed materials and exposed brick walls, offers classics including sausages, spätzle, and $5 German drafts. Revelers can munch on a $3.50 Bavarian pretzel around fire pits between games at the free ping-pong table.
The Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis is known for live music as well as for its Bavarian-style food and brews. There's a rotating menu of lunch specials that can help visitors save a few bucks while chowing down. The historic building's beer garden has its own walk-up bar for beer and pub food.
The Easy Tiger is not only a creek-side beer garden, but a bake shop famed for its pretzels. There's a few daily and weekly specials, including a 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. happy hour with discounts on food as well as drinks on weekdays, and a sandwich of the day for $9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Estabrook is a truly public beer garden — it's within Milwaukee's Estabrook Park near a waterfall, and managers say visitors arrive to enjoy imported German beers by foot, bike, car, kayak, and canoe. There's food for purchase, but customers can also bring their own food and soft drinks.
The Bohemian Biergarten has an extensive menu of traditional German and Czech foods and brews. Visit during happy hour — 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays — to take advantage of food and drink combos or to save $2 off 1-liter beers and $1 off well drinks.
Handlebar Tempe, touted as a bike-friendly beer garden, offers 24 beers on draft plus a huge selection of can, bomber, and bottle options. Along with loads of specials there are happy hours (which go all-day Wednesdays), Whiskey Tuesdays, and Jameson Thursdays, when shots are two for the price of one from 10 p.m. to close. They take drinking seriously here — but there are hand-cut fries, burgers, freshly baked pretzels, and local sausages to nosh on, too.
Steins Beer Garden & Restaurant is a modern American take on the traditional German biergarten. It has 31 craft and import beers on tap and a comfort-food menu. Happy hours make this high-end spot especially affordable, but diners who sample the ghost pepper hot sauce might be happy to pay any price for a beer to put out its fire; the restaurant makes you sign a waiver to try it.
This massive beer garden and entertainment space serves patrons who love sports, live music, or just good beer. Studio Square has several specials throughout the week. Happy hour lasts from opening to 7 p.m., offering $4 tap beers and $4 sangria. Military, EMTs, police, and other municipal employees get 20 percent off all regular-price drinks. Teachers get specials such as $2 beers every Friday until 11 p.m.
At the Short North Pint House, revelers can order what the pub calls a Gusto — a respectable 32-ounce beer for $10 — or the $6 beer sampler, which includes three beers from the draft list. A happy hour offers patrons half off selected food and drinks, with options changing daily.
Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden is just what it sounds like: a satisfying mix of sausage and beer. It cranks out more than 2,000 pounds of sausage every week, stages live music two to three times a week, and even has a dog park (where pets can eat dog-friendly sausages). Specials include Sunday's Manmosa — basically a whole bottle of champagne in a giant mug with a splash of juice.

Daniël de Jong (Rotterdam, 9 juli 1992) is een autocoureur uit Nederland.

Carrière

Formule Renault 2.0
Na een lange kartcarrière in Nederland en een kort optreden in de Dutch Winter Endurance Series maakte De Jong zijn eenzittersdebuut in 2008 in de Formule Renault 2.0 NEC, waar hij het seizoen als dertiende in het kampioenschap eindigde. Hij nam ook deel in de Formule Renault 2.0 NEZ, waar hij twee pole positions en een overwinning behaalde en als achtste in het kampioenschap eindigde, en één ronde van de Formule Renault 2.0 WEC op Spa–Francorchamps.

In 2009 nam De Jong deel aan zowel de Eurocup Formule Renault 2.0 als de Formule Renault 2.0 NEC voor het team MP Motorsport. In de Eurocup behaalde hij twee puntenfinishes op de Hungaroring en eindigde hij als 25e in het kampioenschap, terwijl hij in het NEC podiumplaatsen behaalde op de Nürburgring en op Spa–Francorchamps om als negende in het kampioenschap te finishen, ondanks dat hij de derde ronde van het seizoen op Alastaro miste.

In 2010 reed De Jong een tweede seizoen in de Eurocup Formule Renault 2.0. Nadat hij als tweede achter Kevin Korjus eindigde in de eerste race op Motorland Aragón, finishte hij nog acht keer in de punten om als negende in het kampioenschap te eindigen. Hij nam ook deel aan enkele races in de Formule Renault 2.0 NEC, waar hij één overwinning behaalde in de laatste race van het seizoen op de Nürburgring, samen met een tweede plaats op Brno eerder in het seizoen. Hij eindigde als elfde in het kampioenschap, ondanks dat hij in slechts zes van de achttien races deelnam.

Formule Renault 3.5 Series
In oktober 2010 reed De Jong voor het eerst in een Formule Renault 3.5 Series-auto toen hij testte voor het team Draco Racing in de eerste post-seizoenstest in Barcelona. Een week later testte hij ook voor Comtec Racing op Motorland Aragón en in februari 2011 werd bekend dat hij getekend had om voor dit team te rijden in 2011 in de Formule Renault 3.5 Series met als teamgenoot Daniel McKenzie.

Auto GP
Naast zijn verplichtingen in de Formule Renault 3.5 neemt De Jong ook deel aan de Auto GP in 2011 voor het team MP Motorsport. In 2012 neemt De Jong deel aan een volledig seizoen Auto GP met MP Motorsport. Met drie podiumplaatsen eindigde hij het seizoen als vijfde. In 2013 bleef hij bij MP Motorsport rijden in de Auto GP. Nadat hij het eerste raceweekend miste door een GP2-weekend, eindigde hij als zevende met twee podiumplaatsen.

GP2
In 2012 maakt De Jong ook zijn GP2-debuut op het Valencia Street Circuit voor het team Rapax. Hij tekende hier een contract voor vier races, hij rijdt ook voor het team op Silverstone, de Hungaroring en op Spa-Francorchamps. Naast Giedo van der Garde en Nigel Melker is hij de derde Nederlander in dit kampioenschap.

In 2013 keert De Jong terug bij MP om een heel seizoen GP2 te gaan rijden. Dit is voor MP een debuut in deze klasse. De Jong behaalde tweemaal punten en eindigde op de 24e plaats in het kampioenschap.

In 2014 keerde De Jong terug bij MP in de GP2 en scoorde twee punten door tiende plaatsen op Spa-Francorchamps en het Yas Marina Circuit.

In 2015 bleef De Jong bij MP actief in de GP2. Bij een crash op Spa-Francorchamps raakte hij geblesseerd, waardoor hij twee raceweekenden moest missen. Tijdens de laatste twee weekenden op het Bahrain International Circuit en het Yas Marina Circuit keerde hij terug voor het team Trident als vervanger van GP2-veteraan Johnny Cecotto jr.

In 2016 keert De Jong in de GP2 terug naar MP Motorsport, waarbij hij teamgenoot wordt van Formule Renault 3.5-kampioen Oliver Rowland.

Letter to Families | March 31 2021
Dear Families,
We have received updated direction from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education regarding the important things we can all do to help manage the risks of COVID-19 in our school communities.
All adults and students from grades 4 to 12 are expected to wear masks to add another layer to the protections that are already built into the comprehensive health and safety plans that are keeping our schools safe. Specifically:
All adults must wear a mask or face covering when inside a school building.
All students in grades 4 through 12 must wear a mask or face covering when inside a school building.
It is strongly encouraged for all kindergarten through grade 3 students to wear masks when inside a school building as well.
Students may remove their masks while outside, including at recess, lunchtime and while learning outside.
Exceptions to the order can be found here.
Our District and school health and safety plans will be updated soon to reflect the changed requirements.
For our elementary schools, where students are not used to wearing masks indoors, school staff will spend the next few days helping students to adjust to this change. We ask that you send your child to school with a clean mask and a spare mask. Schools will have disposable masks available if students forget their masks. Please click the following links for a video and poster for a reminder of how to wear a face mask. The updated and confirmed new guidelines will come into full effect in Sunshine Coast Schools on Tuesday April 6th, when students return after the long weekend.
Vaccinations for school staff
Over the break we were pleased to learn that K-12 staff in school districts are being prioritized to receive vaccinations. We do not yet have detailed information about when and how this will apply to our district as the news changes quickly and as the medical community learns more about the availability of the different vaccines.
Protocols and Your Support
With cases of COVID-19 currently rising in BC, the coming months will no doubt continue to challenge us all. We encourage all students and staff to continue to follow the health and safety protocols:
Stay home when not feeling well.
Complete the daily health check every day. The health check, including translations, can be found on the district website.
Seek a COVID test as soon as possible after mild symptoms occur. This will significantly help to speed up the contact tracing process if the test result is positive.
Answer your phone even if it is an unknown number. This will help the contact tracing process in case Vancouver Coastal Health is trying to get in touch.
Maintain at least two metres physical distance – even outside – from others when outside of your cohort.
Wash/sanitize your hands frequently.
Out of school hours, avoid gathering with anyone indoors from outside of your household and limit outdoor gatherings to the same group of 10.
Together, these measures provide valuable layers of protection and help to make a significant difference in preventing the spread of COVID-19. As a district, we have multiple health and safety protocols in place – all strictly adhering to the standards and guidance provided by provincial authorities and public health. We continue to work with the Ministry of Education and Vancouver Coastal Health and will share relevant information with you on our website and by email when significant changes occur.
Additional orders and measures that affect community interaction were announced this week. You can find the updated health orders here.
If you have questions about the current health orders or about other related issues, you can contact 1-888-COVID19 (1-888-268-4319). If you have health questions or symptoms related to COVID-19 (or any other health issue) and want to talk to a health professional, please call 8-1-1.
Keeping our schools healthy and safe is something we are doing together. Our school staffs and I deeply appreciate that in spite of the challenges of this pandemic, you have been kind, patient and supportive of the work that we are doing. It is sincerely appreciated.
Take care and stay well,
Patrick Bocking

Q: Convolution in time vs multiplication in frequency I'm trying to obtain the power in a certain band, but I want to do this in the time domain and not in the frequency domain. The problem - the bands are very tight and therefore using simple filters create overlapping "tails".
Let [a1 a2]Hz is the band I would like to calculate the power for. I can imagine I'm multiplying the frequency domain by a rectangle signal, and therefore I can get it's ifft in time so I may do a convolution in time.
The code is: (matlab)
for x - the signal in time, X=fft(x), W - the window in frequency, w=ifft(W)
filteredX=X.*W;
Fx=ifft(filteredX);
Fx2=conv(x,w,'same');

The results of the signals are different.
While the filteredX shows the correct spectrum, the fft of Fx2 (the results of the convolution) is completely different.
Any suggestions?
EDIT:
As suggested by EitanT (thanks), I've played around with the following code:
im = fix(255 * rand(500,1));
mask = ones(4,1) / 16;

% # Circular convolution
resConv = conv(im, mask);

% # Discrete Fourier transform
M = size(im, 1) + size(mask, 1);
resIFFT = ifft(fft(im, M) .* fft(mask, M));
% # Not needed any more - resIFFT = resIFFT(1:end-1);  % # Adjust dimensions

% # Check the difference
max(abs(resConv(:) - resIFFT(:)))

Which works fine, but I can't use it so I had to change the parts that are concerned with size issues and got the following (please see comments):
 im = fix(255 * rand(500,1));
mask = ones(4,1) / 16;

% # Circular convolution
resConv = conv(im, mask,'same'); % # instead of conv(im, mask)

% # Discrete Fourier transform
M = size(im, 1) % # Instead of: M = size(im, 1) + size(mask, 1);
resIFFT = ifft(fft(im, M) .* fft(mask, M));
resIFFT = resIFFT(1:end-1);  % # Adjust dimensions

% # Check the difference
max(abs(resConv(:) - resIFFT(:)))

If though I would expect to get the same results, now the difference is much higher.

A: Eitan's earlier verification of the convolution theorem is excellent. Here, I wanted to demonstrate time-domain convolution for filtering a particular frequency band, and show it is equivalent to frequency-domain multiplication.
Beyond knowing how to run the fft and ifft function, there are two pieces required in making this work:

*

*determining the frequency (Hz) of each Fourier component returned by the fft function

*padding the signal before fft, and cropping it after ifft or after conv function.

The code below generates a random signal, performs both time-domain and freq-domain filtering, and shows the equivalence in a figure something like this:

Nsamp = 50;  %number of samples from signal X
X = randn(Nsamp,1);  %random Gaussian signal
fs = 1000;     %sampling frequency

NFFT = 2*Nsamp;  %number of samples to be used in fft (this will lead to padding)

bandlow = 250;  %lower end of filter band (just an example range)
bandhigh = 450; %upper end of filter band

%construct a frequency axis so we know where Fourier components are

if mod(NFFT,2) == 0 %if there is an even number of points in the FFT
    iNyq = NFFT/2;     %index to the highest frequency
    posfqs = fs*(0:iNyq)/NFFT;  %positive frequencies
    negfqs = -posfqs(end-1:-1:2);  %negative frequencies

else  %if there is an odd number of point in the FFT
    iNyq = floor(NFFT/2);     %index to the highest frequency
    posfqs = fs*(0:iNyq)/NFFT;  %positive frequencies
    negfqs = -posfqs(end:-1:2);  %negative frequencies
end

fqs = [posfqs'; negfqs'];   %concatenate the positive and negative freqs

fftX = fft(X,NFFT);  % compute the NFFT-point discrete Fourier transform of X
                     % becuse NFFT > Nsamp, X is zero-padded

% construct frequency-space mask for the desired frequency range
W = ones(size(fftX)) .* ( and ( abs(fqs) >=  bandlow, abs(fqs) < bandhigh) );

fftX_filtered = fftX.*W; %multiplication in frequency space
X_mult_filtered = ifft( fftX_filtered, NFFT);  %convert the multiplicatively-filtered signal to time domain

w = ifft(W,NFFT); %convert the filter to the time domain
X_conv_filtered = conv(X, w); %convolve with filter in time domain

%now plot and compare the frequency and time domain results
figure; set(gcf, 'Units', 'normalized', 'Position', [0.45 0.15 0.4 0.7])

subplot(3,1,1);
plot(X)
xlabel('Time Samples'); ylabel('Values of X'); title('Original Signal')

subplot(3,1,2);
plot(X_conv_filtered(1:Nsamp))
xlabel('Time Samples'); ylabel('Values of Filtered X'); title('Filtered by Convolution in Time Domain')

subplot(3,1,3);
plot(X_mult_filtered(1:Nsamp))
xlabel('Time Samples'); ylabel('Values of Filtered X'); title('Filtered by Multiplication in Frequency Domain')

for sp = 1:3; subplot(3,1,sp); axis([0 Nsamp -3 3]); end

A: Here's an excellent example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUafo2UZowE
EDIT:
Just don't forget the padding. for 1d signals it's like this:
lh=length(h);
lx=length(x);

h=[h zeros(1,lx-1)];
x=[x zeros(1,lh-1)];

The rest is simple:
H=fft(h);
X=fft(x);

Y=H.*X;

y=ifft(Y);

stem(y)

If you want to plot the response vs. time:
let's say nh and nx is corresponding times of h and x samples, then the corresponding times of the response samples can be calculated like this:
n=min(nh)+min(nx):+max(nh)+max(nx);

And finally
stem(n,y)


Taking on a new hobby can be exciting, and full of things you are unsure of. To reduce some of this anxiety for beginning your yoga practice, here is a list of things you should have in your yoga wardrobe.
Pants are important, you need to wear them. Finding the perfect pair of yoga pants might take a while, but to get started just find something you are comfortable in. You need to be able to move, bend, and flex in them, so keep that in mind. If you are thinking of just using a pair of leggings, make sure they can pass the bend test.
Many leggings are not designed for things like bending over and can become see through in some positions. Your pants should be washed after any hard session, but if you are sticking to more calm and restorative practices you can get away with washing every two sessions. Having at least two pairs to get your through a week is recommended as a good starting point. Here's a guide on how to prolong the life of your yoga pants.
Guys, you can skip over this, as it isn't going to be applicable. Ladies, this is something that can really impact your practice. A good, supportive sports bra is going to help you out. While most yoga isn't too heavy impact, like running is, you still want to keep the girls in line. Bras don't just make sure you don't bounce around (which can stretch out your skin, causing pain and increasing sagginess), they can also make a big difference in your posture. These should be washed after every session, so have as many bras as yoga sessions you do a week.
The shirt that you need for yoga is going to depend completely on what you find stylish, the climate where you practice, and what makes you feel comfortable. Men, you can get away, in some yoga studios going shirtless, but some poses can be uncomfortable with your bare back on the mat. You probably want to start your practice with a shirt and judge with a couple of sessions if shirtless would be appropriate.
Long sleeves are great if your studio is a little cold, and stick to short sleeves or tank tops where it is warmer. Depending on the type of yoga you are participating in, you might warm up quite a bit, so remember that when picking out your shirt. There are a number of different styles, both that are tight fitting and more loose in design. When you are picking out a shirt the main things to remember is comfort and range of motion. Yoga is going to have your upper body moving a lot, and your shirt cannot impede that. For most yoga practices, yoga shirts can be worn a couple of times, as long as it isn't too intense. Similar to pants, it is recommended to have at least 2 comfortable shirts in your yoga wardrobe.
So, to summarize, many people like to coordinate their yoga outfits, but this is entirely up to you. Don't sweat it if you are mismatched a bit. Make sure that you are comfortable and can move freely, and that you have enough clothes to get you through a week. 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and 3 bras give you a fantastic base.

Co-working continues to take Australia by storm: Meetings and new spaces launched
Rose Powell / Friday, September 13, 2013
The co-working trend continues this month with a 50-strong gathering in Queensland meeting to discuss collaborative workspaces and a new space launching in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda this month.
One of the groups attending the Queensland meet-up was the Creative Collective, a marketing and online community management company.
Project coordinator Bronwyn Buksh told StartupSmart Australian start-ups were increasingly keen to get out of their homes and work in vibrant communities.
"We understand the future of work is more about knowledge flows through the individuals rather than offices. Teleworking has been fantastic and offers lots of flexibility, but it can be isolating," Buksh says.
"Even with the disruption of digital tech, we're still seeking and needing face-to-face interaction, communication and collaboration."
Buksh says she expects more and more people across a wide range of industries will explore co-working in the next few years.
"This new active work model, where people work side by side based on task rather than based on teams or companies creates new options for people who want to balance life and work," Buksh says. "It also lets regions develop innovation precincts."
In line with this trend, a new co-working space, The Junction, was launched in St Kilda in Melbourne this week.
Co-founder Rupert Greenhough told StartupSmart they wanted to launch a co-working space out of the city, and chose St Kilda as there was increasing start-up activity in the local area.
"We wanted to be outside the city to set up a more relaxed space. We found a building in St Kilda that had 22 parking spots, easy access to transport, the airport and the city, and there weren't many other start-up groups out there but lots of activity," he says.
The Junction has 35 desk spaces, of which six are currently filled by two start-ups. Greenhough says they're keen to welcome more start-ups to the space.
"When you're a start-up with two or three people, you can do that in the garage or around the kitchen table, but you don't get the benefit of working with other people. It can be very lonely running a start-up, so co-working offers the opportunity to share ideas and genuinely help each other with referrals and breaking down issues," Greenhough says.
He adds with time and the right mix of start-ups, they hope to launch a more structured presentation and education offering as well.

At last week's Re-Work Internet of Things Summit there were many exciting new IoT examples (I'll blog others in coming weeks) but perhaps the one that got more people talking was the [Bigbelly] trash compactor & recycling system, high-tech successor to the lowly trash can.
I was first attracted to the [Bigbelly] systems because of my alternative energy and environmental passions: they featured PV-powered trash compactors, which can quintuple the amount a trash container can hold, eliminating overflowing containers and the need to send trucks to empty them as frequently. Because the containers are closed, there's no more ugly banana peels and McDonald's wrappers assaulting your delicate eyes — or noses! Equally important, each is paired with a recycling container, which are almost never seen on city streets, dramatically reducing the amount of recyclables that go into regular trash simply because no recycling containers are accessible downtown. These features alone would be a noteworthy advance compared to conventional trash cans.
But [Bigbelly] wasn't content to just improve the efficiency of trash and recyclable collection: they decided to make the containers smart.
– instead of traditional pickup routes and schedules that were probably based on sheer proximity (or, as [Bigbelly] puts it a little more colorfully, "muscle memory and gut instincts"), they now offer a real-time way to monitor actual waste generation, through the "CLEAN Management Console," which allows DPW personnel to monitor and evaluate bins' fullness, trends and historical analysis, for perspective. Collections can now be dynamic and driven by current needs, not historical patterns.
– For those cities that opt for it, the company offers a Managed Services option where it does the analysis and management of the devices — not unlike the way jet turbine manufacturers now offer their customers value-added data that allows them to optimize performance — and generates new revenue streams for the manufacturers.
– You may remember that I blogged a while ago about the "Collective Blindness" analogy: that, until the IoT, we humans simply couldn't visualize much about the inner workings of the material world, so we were forced to do klugy work-arounds. That's not, strictly speaking, the case here, since trash in a conventional can is obviously visible, but the actual volume of trash was certainly invisible to those at headquarters. Now they can see — and really manage it.
– They can dramatically increase recycling programs' participation rate and efficiency. As [Bigbelly] says, the system provides "intelligent infrastructure to support ongoing operations and free up staffing and resources to support new and expanded recycling programs. Monitoring each separate stream volumes, days to fullness, and other activities in CLEAN enables you to make changes where needed to create a more effective public recycling program. Leverage the stations' valuable sidewalk real estate to add messaging of encouraging words to change your users' recycling behaviors." Philadelphia is perhaps the best example of how effective the system can be. The city bought 210 of the recycling containers in 2009. On average, each collected 225 pounds of recyclables monthly, resulting in 23.5 tons of material diverted from landfills. Philly gets $50 per ton from the recycling — and avoiding $63 in landfill tipping fees, with a total benefit to the city of $113 per ton, or $2599 per month.
Because the [Bigbellys] are connected in real time, the devices can serve a number of real-time communication functions as well (enabled by an open API and an emphasis by [Bigbelly] on finding collaborative uses). That includes making them hubs for a "mesh network" municipal wi-fi system (which, by the way, means that your local trash container/communications hub could actually save your life in a disaster or terror attack, when stationary networks may be disrupted, as I explained years ago in this YouTube video).
The list of benefits goes on ([Bigbelly] lists all of them, right down to "Happy Cities," on its web site). Trust me: if my premise is right that we can't predict all of the benefits of the IoT at this point because we simply aren't accustomed to thinking expansively about all the ways connected devices can be used, there will be more!

Jack Delano (born Jacob Ovcharov; August 1, 1914 – August 12, 1997) was a Ukrainian immigrant who became an accomplished photographer for the Works Progress Administration, United Fund, and most notably, the Farm Security Administration (FSA). He wore many hats as he also was a composer known for his use of Puerto Rican folk material, started a television production company, and was a cartoonist, poet, moviemaker, professor, and architectural designer.

Early life
Delano was born Jacob Ovcharov (Cyrillic: Яков Овчаров) to a Jewish family in Voroshilovka, Podolia Governorate, Russian Empire (now Vorošýlivka, Ukraine). Delano, along with his parents and younger brother, emigrated to the United States in 1923. The family arrived in New York on July 5, 1923 on the SS Homeric, and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, soon after.

Between 1924 and 1932 Delano studied graphic arts/photography and music (viola and composition) as a scholarship student at the Settlement Music School. After graduating high school he attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) where he studied illustration and continued his musical training. While there, Delano was awarded the Cresson Traveling Scholarship, on which he chose to travel to Europe, where he bought a camera that got him interested in photography.

Career

Farm Security Administration

After graduating from the PAFA, Delano found it difficult to secure a career in painting, illustrating, or music, so he decided to look into a photography program he had heard about through the Federal Art Project (FAP). He had moved to New York and had been freelancing as a photographer at the time, and decided to propose a photographic project to the FAP.: a study of mining conditions in the Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, anthracite coal area. Delano sent sample pictures to Roy Stryker and applied for a job at the Farm Security Administration Photography Program. Through the help of Edwin Rosskam and Marion Post Wolcott, Stryker offered Delano a job at $2,300/year in 1940. As a condition of the job, Delano had to have his own car and driver's license, both of which he acquired before moving to Washington, D.C.

Before working at the FSA, Delano had done his own processing and developing but did neither at the FSA. The FSA was created under the Roosevelt administration under the New Deal as a means to support small farmers and help restore the communities most affected by the depression. Many noteworthy photographers worked for the FSA until it was eliminated as "budget waste" in 1943 (including Esther Bubley, Marjory Collins, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Carl Mydans, Gordon Parks, Arthur Rothstein, Ben Shahn, John Vachon, and Marion Post Wolcott), but Delano's work continually differed greatly from his colleagues. He generally focused more on cultural and social patterns of regions rather than focusing solely on the people and landscape.

World War II
By the time the United States entered World War II, Delano completed a number of photo essays on industry in America preparing for the war. He was then drafted into the United States Army Air Corps and served in the South Pacific from 1943 to 1946. Throughout his time in the military he continued documenting his experience via films and photographs, many of which remain classified to this day. He came home a captain and was determined to move to Puerto Rico with his wife, Irene (a second cousin to fellow photographer Ben Shahn), a land both of them had fallen in love with.

Move to Puerto Rico

Delano traveled to Puerto Rico in 1941 as a part of the FSA project. He was meant to spend a few days there on his way to the Virgin Islands, but his trip turned in to a few months due to the US declaring war after the Pearl Harbor bombing. This trip had such a profound influence on him that he settled there permanently in 1946. He mentioned being both fascinated and disturbed by the conditions he saw on the island, that he had never seen such intense poverty or met such kind people.

He became well known, well loved, and highly regarded on the island. There were few Puerto Ricans who did not know who he was, or interact with his work (illustrations, cartoons, movies, movies, musicals, etc.) in some way on a day-to-day basis.

With his wife he worked in the Community Division of the Department of Public Education producing films, for many of which Delano composed the score. Delano also directed Los Peloteros, a Puerto Rican film about poor rural kids and their love for baseball. The film remains a classic in Puerto Rican cinema.

Photography

Delano's photography was highly regarded, not only for his unconventional subjects and locations, but because of his unconventional use of scale and proportion. This dramatically differentiated him from other FSA photographers. He used these techniques to dramatize the subject's presence and better underline the strength and character of the individual. He often took photos of the unsafe or poor conditions many individuals were living and working in. He used his photography to highlight the important of the "average" person as well as expose the conditions many of them were working in, in both the coal mines and Puerto Rico.

Musical works
Delano's musical compositions included works of every type: orchestral (many composed for the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra), ballets (composed for Ballet Infantil de Gilda Navarra and Ballets de San Juan), chamber, choral (including Pétalo de rosa, a commission for Coro de Niños de San Juan) and solo vocal. His vocal music often showcases Puerto Rican poetry, especially the words of friend and collaborator Tomás Blanco. Blanco, Délano and his wife Irene collaborated on children's books. The most prominent of these remains a classic in Puerto Rican literature: The Child's Gift: A Twelfth Night Tale by Tomás Blanco, with illustrations by Irene Delano and incidental music (written on the margins) by Jack Delano.

His score for the film Desde las nubes demonstrates an early use of electronic techniques. Most of his works composed after he moved to Puerto Rico are notable for using folk material in a classical form.

Public television
Delano and two of his friends from the FSA, Edwin and Louise Rosskam, helped to create the Cinema and Graphics Unit (CGU, now known as the Division of Community Education) of the Commission of Parks and Recreation when asked by the governor to create a platform that would use film and graphics to improve education in rural areas. In 1957, they then founded Puerto Rico's first publicly funded educational television station, WIPR where Jack also acted as a station producer, composer, and program director. This started Jack's slow move away from photography and into creating in other areas.

WIPR produced many notable programs, including "Puerto Rico: Workshop for the Americas" in 1961 which shed a light on the importance of Puerto Rican development to the Americas, touched on the difference between Cuba (under Fidel Castro) and Puerto Rico and how peaceful the island is, and even secured an exclusive interview with Puerto Rican governor Luis Munoz Marin.

Venado Oil and Gas, LLC reaches deeper into the Eagle Ford with an agreement to purchase more acres in Zavala, Frio and Dimmit counties.
Venado will purchase the Eagle Ford assets from EXCO Resources, Inc and plans the transaction to close in June 2017. During December 2016, the properties produced approximately 4,100 BOE per day (~90% oil).
Exco announced they will use the proceeds from the $300 million deal to fund drilling and development in the company's Haynesville and Bossier shale assets. Four years ago, Exco purchased this acreage from Chesapeake for more than $680 million but suspended exploration in the Eagle Ford during the pricing crash of 2015.
This purchase is the second in recent months that marks a move by Venado to build their Eagle Ford business. In March, Venado EF L.P., a subsidiary of Venado Oil & Gas, LLC, acquired approximately 37,500 net acres in the Maverick Basin/Eagle Ford area from SM, which included a 12.5% interest in the Springfield Gathering System.

Mentoring a student can be a very rewarding experience. However, being a good mentor is not just a matter of winding up the student and watching them go. Quality mentoring requires a substantial time commitment and the willingness and ability to take a leadership role.
There are specific skills that you can work on in order to be more effective; even experienced mentors can improve. This chapter highlights some of the capabilities of top mentors, by suggesting some self-assessment questions that can help you to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in this role.
Are you already part of the developer community? If you are not then you are going to be less effective at introducing a student to the local culture and practices. Similarly, you are less likely to be able to propose, guide and integrate successful projects relevant to the larger effort. If you are new to the community, working as a backup mentor on a project may be an excellent way to get involved. Note that some projects are more community-oriented than others; assess the community skillset needed for your target group.
Do you have a real interest in potential GSoC projects? As a GSoC mentor you will be taking ownership of a project idea and seeing it through the summer. If you are not excited about the project, mentoring will be more difficult. You are an integral part of the process from project proposal to delivery.
Are you willing to dedicate significant time? While the time requirements for mentoring vary, you should seriously consider your prior mentoring experiences and your available time before committing to this role. If you really don't want to mentor, or really won't have a reasonable amount of time each week, then don't offer.
Are you keenly interested in mentoring students? A main goal of GSoC is mentoring students. Mentoring is important to the future of open source software, our immediate projects and the overall culture. Mentoring a student requires a combination of passion, responsibility and patience. A good mentor is willing to engage with students throughout their learning process.
At all times don't forget that you have access to people, tools and resources that can make your job much easier and make you a better mentor. Make use of your org admin when you are not sure what is expected of you or have a difficult situation with your student. Make use of other mentors in your organization and the thousands of mentors on the mentor mailing list. Though it may be an annoying list at times (don't feed the trolls!), it is a valuable resource. The GSoC admins are another important resource. They set the tone and standards for the entire program. They have heard it all, so don't hesitate to contact them when a problem arises.
The student's project is never properly defined. The project goals and deliverables are unclear, and the work schedule is not set. The consequences of this are serious and impact the project if left unchecked.
The mentor has little idea what the student is doing. The state of the project is unclear, and its progress is uncertain. Evaluation is impossible to do well.
The student produces code that isn't useful. The student starts off on 'the wrong path', failing to use existing functions or established project idioms. Rather than fixing problems as they arise they keep on adding more. The code is never integrated into the main codebase because it doesn't work well enough and would require more work to fix than it is worth.
The student gets stuck. The student seems to be engaged, and to be working hard, but no apparent progress is being made. Alternatively, the student's communications are infrequent and terse, and seem to always be on the same issue or milestone.
The student disappears, perhaps for days or weeks at a time. If the student is under-mentored, it may be difficult to determine when this period began, and thus to know when to panic. Insufficient information is available for evaluation; thus it becomes impossible to fairly evaluate the student.

Cultural Origin of
It is hard to determine the cultural origin of the Iceman because the find is absolutely unique. There is an absence of any pottery, but links can be make between the organic objects and the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age.
A flint dagger and stemmed arrow heads were found in a man's grave in Remedello. The Tisenjoch axe does correspond to the copper axes found in the area after which the culture was named, Remedello, near Brescia. The spreading of the Remedello culture into the South Tyrol can be proved by the discovery of flint daggers and flat copper axes.
The Senales Valley. The Similaunspitze (summit) is in the background.
Because of the Iceman's axe, he can probably be classified as a cattle owner or village chief. Searching for ore also fits into his possible range of activities.
Present Day - Driving Sheep through the Tisental
From Senales to the Ötztal.
Alpine pastures were subject to human influence through stock farming as early as the 4th millennium B.C. The link between the Tisenjoch find and the Ötztal pasturelands should be mentioned because they are now, and were then, tended from Val Venosta. Digested pollen of the beechtree, which only grows south of the Alps in the Val Venosta, was found in the Iceman's large intestine. Also, the grain that the Iceman came in contact with was grown in the area around the settlement. Therefore, it can be assumed that the Iceman lived in the Val Venosta.
The Iceman and his belongings were transported from the Institute of Anatomy of the University of Innsbruck to his permanent home at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy on January 16, 1998.
The Iceman Being Loaded into a Cold-Storage Van
South Tyrol Museum in Bolzano, Italy
The new South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology documents the entire ancient and early history of the South Tyrol through ancient, middle Stone Age, and Carolingian Age. The Iceman, his tools, equipment, and belongings occupy the entire first floor of the museum.
View Iceman Through the Window in the Cold Chamber
The mummy is kept in a specially designed cold storage unit. The "Iceman box" consists of a decontamination room, examining room, and two adjoining identical refrigeration chambers with independent cooling systems. The Iceman is now stored at -6° C at almost 100% humidity. The cold chamber is not open to the general public, but the public can view the Iceman at the South Tyrol museum through the little window.
