Sadly, a third student has lost his life after yesterday's shooting at an Ohio high school. As expected, as the story continues to unfold, details are emerging, and it's a tightly wound ball of confusion. According to a published report today, the prosecutor, David Joyce, says that bullying wasn't a factor in the shooting, that Thomas "TJ" Lane has admitted to taking the .22 caliber gun, and a knife, into the school Monday morning and randomly shooting his victims. Yet, in an article also released just today, "students say Thomas was shy and targeted by bullies." Again, the pieces of this puzzle are still being sorted and spread across the kitchen table as authorities try to put it all together.
In the court of public opinion, the pendulum has swayed from the "bullying must end" sentiment to the "he's an animal" wrath. The bullying card is apparently still in the deck. And, with all due respect to the victims and their families, (and, with my deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences), the early indication is that TJ is not "an animal", either. Rather, there are apparent deep-rooted mental health issues in play here.
What is emerging is that Thomas Lane is a troubled young man. Tumultuous family life, with his parents divorcing when he was young, and his father spending substantial time behind bars for abusing women, amongst other things, including TJ's mother. One of the things that was pointed out from the beginning was that Lane had been looking into information about depression. Did he WANT help but couldn't find it? That answer is yet to come.
I return to my original assertion that somebody, ANYBODY!, should've taken his tweets from the previous day seriously. He allegedly tweeted that he was going to "bring a gun to school". No one took him seriously. If any one person would've, this could've been prevented. Would've, could've. But, it goes beyond even that. According to news reports, and as stated in the original post, Lane had posted dark status updates to his facebook page that, again, apparently no one paid attention to. Gregg Jantz, a psychologist and mental health author from Seattle, says that Lane's Facebook post from December should have triggered a red flag with any adult who saw it.
If we are to avoid tragedies like Chardon High School, if we're to start preventing teen suicides, it's absolutely essential that we pay close attention to what's being said. And, done. There ARE warning signs. It is imperative that every one of us pay attention to the red flags as they pop up. And, they will pop up.
I posted this link in an earlier blog post about depression: I think this would be a very effective tool for educating about depression. I believe this program should be implemented in every school across the country, and around the world. There's no way to have enough tools available to fight what's going on with today's youth. That said, I strongly encourage every one to push to get this program implemented in your local schools. If you're parents, if you have younger siblings, if you have friends who could be at risk, wouldn't you feel better knowing that everyone in their school is being educated about depression and how to deal with it? I know it would certainly give me a little peace of mind. It's also a valuable tool to have in the home. Home is absolutely where all of this begins. Unfortunately, "home" failed Thomas Lane. And, as a result, three families must struggle to make sense of the madness that claimed their loved one's life. As a result, the small community of Chardon, Ohio has been changed forever.
This morning, in a sleepy town 30 mile east of Cleveland, Ohio, 17-year-old Thomas "TJ" Lane opened fire on some of his high school classmates, injuring five. One of the five was fatally wounded. There's an unconfirmed report that a second victim has also died. It has been reported on a Cleveland news channel although no details were given. Yet another of the victims is still in critical condition.
Initially, the reports were that "TJ" had been bullied by this group of students that he obviously targeted in his rampage. I personally heard a news report that said that the alleged gunman confessed to stealing the handgun from his uncle and that he'd been "picked on" and bullied by this group for a long time. Conversely, there was this quote from one of his fellow students: "Even though he was quiet, he still had friends," said Tyler Lillash, 16. "He was not bullied." I will add here that in a recent suicide, there were those who admonished that, despite what I'd reported, the victim was not bullied when, in fact, he had been.
What's harrowing about this great, life-changing tragedy is that the warning signs were in place. Reportedly, TJ posted on his twitter just last night that "I'm bringing a gun to school". And, as a response to that, as a Washington, D.C. news outlet reported, one boy tweeted that he'd probably be one of the first ones to get shot because he'd always been mean to [TJ]. Lots of unanswered questions. What is known is that there has been a dark side to TJ that has gone unchecked. A check of his facebook account suggested that he, himself, was interested in learning more about clinical depression. I've been saying for a while that it's so vital that we as adults pay attention to what's being said. No one took TJ seriously when he tweeted about bringing a gun to school. No one paid attention to the dark posts he made on his facebook page or that he was looking to learn more about depression. Now, there's one confirmed death in this unfortunate event and unconfirmed reports of a second. If someone, ANYONE!, had paid attention and taken that tweet or facebook posts seriously, 16-year-old Daniel Parmertor may still be alive today.
If it's, in fact, true that Thomas Lane had been bullied, this wouldn't be the first time that the bullied took matters into his own hands rather than commit suicide. Just recently, a Florida youth was found not guilty in the murder of a teen who had allegedly been bullying him. In 2001, I followed the story of a young man who had been bullied at his Maryland school. His father moved him to a San Diego suburb to get him away from the torment. However, the bullying continued there as well. He took a gun to school and killed two of his bullies. As with Lane, this young man had told someone the day before that he was going to take a gun to school. He wasn't taken seriously. As a result, three young lives were lost: two boys lost their lives, and the shooter will spend the rest of his life in prison.
If bullying was, indeed, the driving force behind this, there cannot be louder wake-up call. What that would clearly indicate would be that not only are we losing young lives to bullying because of suicides but also because, in cases like this one, the one in Florida, and the one in the San Diego suburb, sometimes the bully, themselves, pay the ultimate price with their own lives. In either case, it's an unthinkable tragedy, one that can be prevented.
BULLYING MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! It's a serious issue that is claiming lives at a break-neck pace. NO LONGER is "boys will be boys" or "kids will be kids" acceptable.
Listen to what these young people are saying. Remember: hearing and listening are two completely different functions. In far too many cases, these troubled young people are screaming out at the top of their lungs, like Andy Williams did in San Diego, but no one listens to them. So, to get their troubled voices heard, they act out. The result of that action is rarely good.
Pay attention to the mental health of your child or even a troubled young person you may know from your neighborhood or through your own child. I'm no professional, but I would bet that very rarely do events like we witnessed today happen out-of-the-blue. There are always warning signs. We have to pay attention, however, in order to see them.
Understand that bullying and depression can be a disastrous combination. It was that combination that claimed Jamie Hubley's life last year. It was the combination that caused Andy Williams to go on his rampant is the San Diego suburb in 2001. And, according to early reports, odds are that it played a role today in Chardon, Ohio.


Welcome to Science!, an 80 page middle-grade original graphic novel written by husband and wife team, Jason Inman and Ashley Victoria Robinson, who you've probably seen somewhere on the internet (Collider Heroes, DC All Access, Jawiin). This is their second co-created comic after their debut creator-owned series Jupiter Jet, published in 2017 by Action Lab Comics. This graphic novel will feature art by illustrator Dez Pittman, colour art by Gehenna: Death Valley creator Becka Kinzie, and letters by Ghost Glyph Studio's Taylor Esposito, edited by Hope Nicholson (Angel Catbird, Moonshot) and will be published by the multi Eisner-nominated publisher Bedside Press (The Secret Loves of Geek Girls, Gothic Tales of Haunted Love).
We successfully funded and reached our first stretch goal! Thank you! That means that not only is Science! happening, but it will be bigger and better. Check out the rewards section below to learn more about our next stretch goal!
Science! is the story of Tamsin Kuhn Trakroo, a fourteen-year-old girl who is already the smartest Theoretical and Applied Physicist in any room. Yeah, she's that super smart! Tamsin has just started studying at The Prometheus Institute which is only the world's most famous and prestigious science school. The Institute is a futuristic wonderland filled with genius teachers (some who might not be of this world), and floating helper robots known as S.T.A.T.s.
But Tamsin is stressed, and if your dead father talked to you through your super-cool science glasses, you'd be stressed out too. That's right, her father, the world-renowned Dr. Thomas Trakroo uploaded his consciousness before his death and now lives as a hologram stored in Tamsin's glasses.
Her father claims that Lucan Laveran, headmaster of The Prometheus Institute, is his murderer, and is on a mission to destroy the Institute! But Lucan just offered Tamsin a really cool position as his assistant. He can't be a murderer, right? Can she trust her weird holographic Dad?
Laveran and Tamsin strolling the grounds of the Prometheus Institute.
Tamsin's really cute roommate, Garyn, is the only one that she can trust right now. However, Garyn's just discovered a dangerous energy source that could win her the Prometheus Institute Award for Superior Science, or it could tear a hole in the very space/time continuum!
Will Tamsin let the pretty girl she has a crush on push the boundaries of astrophysics too far? Probably. Will she try to stop the man who her father says killed him? Maybe. In the ultimate school of science it's not your friends, your teachers, or your family that you can trust. You can only trust in SCIENCE! And it's time for Tamsin True to grow up.
This comic was created when Inman had an idea for a science-adventure story in the vein of Star Trek: the Original Series, that would read like the school-based stories he and Robinson enjoyed growing up (s/o to Harry Potter!). Pittman was a last-minute addition to the team after she met Inman and Robinson at Wizard World Portland earlier in 2018 and the team clicked so well they knew they had to collaborate on something. This is a further amping up of the science fiction tropes in storytelling that Inman and Robinson began exploring in Jupiter Jet!
But did you know? The first 10 pages of Science! are already COMPLETE! Story, art, colors, letters and experiments are complete and ready to go! This means the story is ⅛ complete and we are looking to fund the production and printing costs associated with creating the final 70 pages so that it can be a real-life book As Soon As Possible! Since this book is 100% creator-owned, there's no publisher financing. We, the creators, are responsible for all costs to make this SCIENCE! story come to life! Even our publisher, Bedside Press, isn't getting paid by this Kickstarter.
Our goal is just enough to bridge the gap to make SCIENCE! a real physical book. With that in mind, if you've enjoyed our previous comics work (Jupiter Jet, Captain Terrific stories in the IF Anthologies, Love is Love, The Red Shirt Diaries), please support our next step in the world of creator-owned comic books. SCIENCE! will become a reality with your support, we have some outstanding reward for you AND REMEMBER: you're only charged if we make our funding goal. As of right now, this Kickstarter is the only way you can purchase the book. So don't miss out on these amazing SCIENCE! adventures.
Money earned will go to covering fees, production, postage, and printing of the collection. The writers aren't even being paid for this book. All Kickstarter funds are to support our artist, colorist, letterer and more! Any leftover money will be used to pay for new artwork that will be used in the series...maybe some back-ups by other creators? A variant cover? All money will go back into the book, period. The first goal of this campaign is to give our readers a high-quality product.
STRETCH GOALS! Because our graphic novel is fully funded, we can add stretch goals!

Jason Inman is a farm boy from Kansas, and since he now thrives in the superhero universe, it's no wonder why Jason Inman is often mistaken as the last son of Krypton. His comic book writing has been featured in projects published by DC Comics/IDW, Action Lab Comics, Alterna Comics, and Not Forgotten Comics. He just finished co-writing Jupiter Jet, a five issue mini-series published by Action Lab Entertainment. Plus, his podcast, Geek History Lesson, a weekly show that explores the secret histories of everyone's favorite pop culture characters, and various other weekly reaction and recap videos, can all be found on Jason's YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/Jawiin which has over 13 million views.
Together, Jason and Ashley have co-written Jupiter Jet (Action Lab), The Red Shirt Diaries (and tie-in webcomic), Town Hall (stage play), Terrific & Thief (featured in Alterna Comics' IF Anthology), Swan Story (featured in DC Comics/IDW's Love is Love Anthology), as well as several projects yet to be announced.
Dez Pittman Hello there! My name is Desiree' Pittman, Dez for short. Growing up, I just wanted to create art all the time. In 2001, I attended the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan where I studied cartooning and illustration and later graduated in 2005 with a BFA.
I currently reside in Portland, Oregon with my amazing husband, Jason, who is also a very talented artist. On top of doing my own projects, I enjoy commission work and collaborations. You're most likely to see me at a Convention drawing Zombie Portraits and selling prints of my illustration work.
Becka Kinzie is a freelance artist and colorist from Ontario, Canada. Some of her coloring work has been featured in comics such as Hacktivist (vol. 2), and the Gothic Tales of Haunted Love anthology. When not coloring, she's drawing her own horror/darkly inclined comics and art. She's currently working on her horror/sci-fi webcomic, which can be found on her website at thebecka.com.

Yan Li, a CoSN NextGen Leader, tells EdScoop TV about the data analytics initiative at the Mississippi Department of Education.
An ambitious analytics project is underway at the Mississippi Department of Education that aims to "transfer massive data into meaningful stories, stories that are logical and easy to follow and understand," Yan Li , director of research and analytics at the department, tells EdScoop TV.
The data-driven initiative is part of the state's effort to extract insightful information about student trends and development over time, says Li, a 2018 CoSN/EdScoop NextGen Leader .
An internal data dashboard was released in February, and the external one is still being fine-tuned with the help of surveys, feedback from education stakeholders and a number of researchers, analysts and data experts at the state education department, Li says.
In order to glean helpful insights that can eventually improve educational outcomes for students in Mississippi, department officials have to learn to ask the right questions.
"When you are doing data analytics, choose questions that matter because over time you want to know what is working and what is not working so that you can focus more on what is effective and less of what is not," Li says.

Fritz Leist (* 31. Juli 1913 in Rockershausen bei Saarbrücken; † 1974 in München) war ein deutscher Psychotherapeut und katholischer Religionsphilosoph.

Leben

Fritz Leist wuchs in Elversberg/Saar auf und besuchte von 1924 bis 1933 das Gymnasium Wendalinum in St. Wendel. Der Schüler von Romano Guardini war ein führendes Mitglied der aus dem Quickborn gegründeten Deutschmeister-Jungenschaft. Anfang 1934 entstand aus dieser und aus Gruppen des Bundes Neudeutschland der Graue Orden, der von Leist trotz der Verbote der bündischen Jugend weitergeführt wurde. Im Januar 1938 wurden 18 Mitglieder des Grauen Ordens, unter ihnen auch Leist, von der Gestapo wegen "bündischer Umtriebe" verhaftet. Nach dreimonatiger Haft wurde er aufgrund einer nach der Annexion Österreichs ergangenen Amnestie entlassen. Obwohl sich Leist nach der Amnestierung von Grauem Orden und bündischer Jugend distanzierte, traf sich in seiner Münchner Wohnung weiterhin ein bündischer Freundeskreis, zu dem auch Willi Graf gehörte. Als Graf 1942 Leist um Beteiligung an den Aktionen der Weißen Rose bat, lehnte dieser das für sich und die Restgruppen des Grauen Ordens ab.

Fritz Leist war seit 1951 mit der Psychotherapeutin Marielene Leist (1925–2007) verheiratet. Das Ehepaar hatte vier Kinder.

Studium und Professur

Leist studierte Theologie, Philosophie und Tiefenpsychologie. Er promovierte 1938 über Thomas von Aquin und habilitierte 1947.

Ab 1952 war Leist Professor für Religionsphilosophie der Philosophischen Fakultät der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

Für den Aufklärungsfilm Abarten der körperlichen Liebe (1970) fungierte Leist als wissenschaftlicher Berater und Drehbuchautor.

Sein Buch Der sexuelle Notstand und die Kirchen (1972) wurde teilweise als Angriff auf die Kirchen gewertet. Der Druck auf den Herderverlag wurde so groß, dass die Auslieferung nach 14 Tagen eingestellt wurde. Leist widersprach den Wertungen und das Buch erschien umgehend beim Gütersloher Verlagshaus Gerd Mohn.

The Missouri city of Ferguson, site of protests after the 2014 shooting of a black teen by a white police officer, has sworn in a new police chief. Delrish Moss will head a mostly-white police force in a community that is two-thirds black.
Most recently the supervisor of public information and community relations for the Miami Police Department in Florida, Moss, 51, was sworn-in as Ferguson police chief on Monday afternoon. He will be the second black chief of police in Ferguson, a 21,000-resident inner suburb of St. Louis, after Interim Chief Andre Anderson resigned in December.
Moss's first day comes on the heels of a federal judge's approval last month of an agreement between the city and the US Department of Justice over police reform in Ferguson. Moss, a former homicide detective, said Monday that he is ready to approach the issues in Ferguson with patience and collaboration.
"I don't think I come in here offering some magic pill or magic solution curing all the problems of Ferguson," Moss told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Ferguson city officials have said Moss's role as spokesman for the Miami Police Department contributed to his hiring.
"I think one of the things Ferguson has missed out on is telling our story," Ferguson City Manager De'Carlon Seewood told the Post-Dispatch.
Protesters are expect to demonstrate outside the city's municipal court building on Monday, though city attorney Stephane Karr and the city's courts are the protesters targets, not Moss.
In March 2015, seven months after police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Michael Brown, the DOJ issued a scathing report on the Ferguson Police Department and the city's judicial practices.
In its report, the DOJ found a pattern of unconstitutional behavior in the Ferguson PD, noting that while African-Americans represented 67 percent of Ferguson's population, they accounted for 90 percent of traffic stops and arrests. The government also found that Ferguson police officers have routinely detained and arrested residents without probable cause or suspicion, and have all too frequently resorted to using excessive force.
After contentious negotiations, the final agreement reached between Ferguson and the DOJ requires the city to hire a police monitor, institute police diversity training, and spend money on software and staff to keep track and analyze information on arrests, use of force incidents, and other police matters. The agreement also lays out a plan to revise Ferguson's Municipal Code. This includes repealing penalties for failure to appear upon arrest or summons, as well as repealing an authorizing fee for the withdrawal of a complaint.
Ferguson's police chief amid the protests over Brown's killing, Thomas Jackson, resigned in March 2015 after the DOJ report was issued.
Moss, whose hiring was announced last month, was one of the more than 15 applicants for the city's police chief position. Six of them were interviewed by multiple panels of residents, police executives, and criminal justice experts.
"Our officers have worked extremely hard to implement community policing and community engagement in their daily practices," Seewood, Ferguson's city manager, said at the time of the hiring. "Mr. Moss is the right man for the job to continue those initiatives."
Moss "has my support to make whatever changes that are necessary," Seewood told the Post-Dispatch on Monday.
A St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict Wilson, the police officer who shot Michael Brown, in November 2014. Upon release of its report on Ferguson, the DOJ also announced that it would not charge Wilson with civil rights violations related to the incident.
Brown's death touched off mass demonstrations in Ferguson and across the US against racial profiling, police brutality, police impunity, and the judicial system in America, especially in communities of color.
A recent analysis by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review found that, from 1995 to 2015, federal prosecutors chose not to levy charges against US law enforcement officers alleged to have committed civil rights violations in 96 percent of relevant cases.

A judge's gavel is seen on February 2, 2009 in Miami, Florida.

Fourteen people from the Tucson area were each fined $300 by a judge for failing to show up for jury duty in federal court.
The fines were issued Monday after the prospective jurors were called before U.S. District Judge David Bury to explain their repeated failures to comply with a jury summons.
None were able to show good cause for missing jury service.
Last month, a federal judge in Phoenix fined 30 people who failed to show up for jury duty.
People who ignore jury summons can face a fine of up to $1,000, be jailed for three days and be ordered to do community service.

Stephen N. Palmer, born in Madison county, N. Y., Feb. 7, 1816; settled at Napoleon Sept. 20, 1845. Mr. Palmer married Miss Rebecca Farley March 18, 1838, who was born in the same county Aug. 28, 1818; came West with her husband in 1845, and though living throughout the years on the same location, have, on account of change of names, found themselves citizens of the townships of Napoleon, Brooklyn and Columbia.
Source: History of Jackson County, Michigan. Chicago: Inter-State Publishing Co., 1881, p. 148.
Stephen N. Palmer was born in the town of Lenox, Madison Co., N. Y., Feb. 7, 1816. His father, Joshua G. Palmer, was a farmer, and one of the early settlers of Madison county. He was a native of Connecticut, and when a young man moved to Madison county, and settled at Brookfield. He was a mechanic by trade, but turned his attention to farming. He married Miss Esther Randall, sister of Elder Joseph Randall, a native Baptist divine of that section. Stephen N. came to Jackson county in 1845, and located on sec. 7, this tp., then Napoleon. This property was purchased from second hands by his father, and at that time consisted of 160 acres, to which Mr. Palmer has, from time to time, added, until now he owns 360 acres, which is mostly tinder improvement, well fenced, and upon which he has erected first-class farm buildings, including a spacious and modern farm dwelling. Mr. Palmer received his schooling at Lenox, and in 1838 married Miss Rebecca A. Farley, daughter of Abiah Farley, a laborer of that section. They have had 5 children—Joshua G., Helen L., wife of George Luce; Maria, wife of Edgar N. Randall, of Bridgewater; Mary, now Mrs. Austin Miller; and Alonzo T., the eldest, who lay down his life for his country in the war of the Rebellion. He enlisted in the 7th Mich. Inf., Co. B, in 1861, and fought in the battles of Fair Oaks and Williamsburg, passed through the campaign of Chickahominy and Yorktown, and fell at the battle of Antietam. He, with four others of his comrades, who lost their lives in this, one of the severest battles of the war, were buried on the battle-field, and their remains were brought home by Mr. Stephen N., who, with much difficulty, made the journey to the scene of their death in person. Alonzo Palmer was a brave soldier, and the account of the imposing burial services of these four young martyrs, that appears in the sketch of Columbia tp., was a just tribute to the departed heroes. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are members of the First Baptist Church of Napoleon, of long standing.


The U.S.S. Enterprise-D was Galaxy-class Cruiser which served as flagship of the Federation from 2364 to 2371.
The Enterprise launched in 2364 under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. During her maiden voyage the ship made first contact with the omnipotent Q. In 2365 Q officially introduced the Federation to the Borg collective and the Enterprise was subsequently involved in the events which led to the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2366.
During her voyages, the Enterprise made numerous additional first contacts, among them with the Devidians, the Ferengi and the Solanae. The ship also contributed to scientific and archeological discoveries, most notably perhaps the uncovering of an ancient Gateway on Iconia.
The Enterprise was destroyed in 2371, when the ship engaged the Duras Sisters over Veridan III. Her successor, the Sovereign class U.S.S. Enterprise-E, was launched the following year.
In an alternate timeline created by the disappearance of the U.S.S. Enterprise-C in 2344, the Enterprise-D was a Battleship built to fight a war against the Klingon Empire. The Enterprise-D negated this timeline by helping the Enterprise-C return to its own time. However, the Enterprise-C was stranded in the future instead, only returning to its own timeline after another adventure.
A plaque depicting the Enterprise-D can be seen inside starbases whose fleets have completed the special project "History and Movement".
While the Enterprise-D has yet to make any official appearances in-game, she appeared as an Easter egg in "State of Q", seen through one of the hull breaches on the U.S.S. Saratoga. This is somewhat anachronistic however, as the Enterprise-D did not make it to Wolf 359 until after the battle was over.
The alternate timeline version of the Enterprise-D, seen in the series finale "All Good Things...", appears in-game as the Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser.

Machine Learning Notes (6)

	   August
	   16th,

	   2015

To solve a classification problem with neural network, we usually do these following steps:

1. Pick a network architecture

Number of input units = dimension of features

Number of output units = number of classes

the number of hidden layer and hidden units depends

2. Randomly initialize weights

Considering the bias unit, we add layer_in with 1. And we declare  so that all elements in W are in

W = rand(layer_out, 1 + layer_in) * 2 * epsilon - epsilon;

3. Forward propagation to compute

In a neural network model,
\[
a^{(L)} = g((\theta^{(L-1)})^Ta^{(L-1)})
\]
where g is the sigmoid function and  contains a bias unit.

4. Compute the cost function J()

The cost function of the neural network is :

m is the number of training set

K is the number of units in the output layer

 is the number of unit in layer

L is the total number of layers

When , the function is regularized. We take no account of the bias units for the regularization.

hidden = sigmoid([ones(m, 1) X] * Theta1');
h_theta = sigmoid([ones(m, 1) hidden] * Theta2');
term1 = (-y_code)' * log(h_theta);
term2 = (1-y_code)' * log(1-h_theta);
J = 1/m * (sum(term1(:)) - sum(term2(:)));

reg_theta1 = Theta1(:, 2:end);
reg_theta2 = Theta2(:, 2:end);
reg_term = lambda / (2*m) * (reg_theta1(:)' * reg_theta1(:)...
                       + reg_theta2(:)' * reg_theta2(:));
J = J + reg_term;

5. Back propagation to compute

for i = 1 to m

First, get the values for all units

  % code for m training set
  a1 = [ones(m, 1), X];
  z2 = a1 * Theta1';
  a2 = [ones(m, 1), sigmoid(z2)];
  z3 = a2 * Theta2';
  a3 = sigmoid(z3);

Second, define  error of node j in layer l.

For the output unit,

For l = (L-1), …, 2,

  % code for m training set
  delta3 = a3 - y_code;
  delta2 = delta3 * Theta2(:, 2:end) .* sigmoidGradient(z2);

Third, suppose

  % code for m training set
  Delta1 = delta2' * a1;
  Delta2 = delta3' * a2;

Finally,

6. Gradient checking

To make sure that the back propagation didn't go wrong, the method gradient checking is used.
Suppose e=[0 0 …  … 0 0] that  is the  element.

If
, the propagation will work.

7. Minimize J

Since we have both the cost function and its partial derivatives, we can minimize J with gradient descent or other advanced optimization.

Q: Change icon in android I would like to know how I can change image in imageview but in specific way. I would like to when I start application I have a default icon and when I click on them I change icon on the othe. But when I click again my icon return to default, and again....
This is what I got at this moment:
    final ImageView check_box = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.email_list_item_checkbox_icon);

    check_box.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {

            check_box.setImageResource(R.drawable.checkbox_android);
        }
    });

How I can do next step and loop this solution?

A: You can use some flags which becomes true to default icon and false to checked icon. Using flag you can achieve your part of goal.

A: Simple, As per your requirement.
Just take a boolean flag variable.
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    if ( !flag) {
        check_box.setImageResource(R.drawable.checkbox_android);
        flag = true;
    }
    else {
        check_box.setImageResource(R.drawable.other_image);
        flag = false;
    }
});

A: ImageView check_box = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.email_list_item_checkbox_icon);

check_box.setTag(R.id.email_list_item_checkbox_icon);

check_box.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {

        Integer integer = (Integer) view.getTag();
        switch(integer) {
        case R.id.email_list_item_checkbox_icon:
            check_box.setDrawableResource(R.drawable.checkbox_android);
            check_box.setTag(R.drawable.checkbox_android);
            break;
        case R.drawable.checkbox_android:
            check_box.setDrawableResource(R.id.email_list_item_checkbox_icon);
            check_box.setTag(R.id.email_list_item_checkbox_icon);
            break;
        }
    }

});

View Full Version : This puts the eastern front into a whole new perspective.
I was watching a video series I have and Gunther Rall was being interveiwed and he stated that America gave the Soviets 3,000 p-39 aircobras thru lend lease. Now thats more aircraft than what was in the entire Luftwaffe!
Germany invaded Russia with 1,800 aircraft (including bombers)which was by far the Majority of the Luftwaffe VS 3,000 p-39's!
Thats not including I-16's, Mig 3's, Laggs, Hurricanes from england, P-40's etc vs russia!
K_Freddie
That being the case (first time I've heard of numbers like this), it comes down to management of the military resources and as history tells us, Stalin did a good job of destroying his military, prior to Barbarossa
Klemm.co
Of course they didn't have all those P-39's, P-40's and all the other aircraft at once at the start of the war. They kept coming in at a slow rate, just like the Germans produced new aircraft and sent them to the eastern front. In some areas the Germans even had the numerical advantage for some time.
Over 20000 FW-190's and over 30000 Bf-109's produced, and that's only two types of aircraft.
The Germans weren't as outnumbered as you seem to make it.

Freiwillige,
Remember though that lend-lease to Russia was enacted after Barbarossa had begun and that any deliveries of aircraft would have taken time to organise and complete.
It is a bit too simplistic to say that a single batch of 3000 P39's were dropped off in Murmansk on the 22nd June 1941 and were engaging the Luftwaffe in combat the very same day day.
This wikipedia page has some good information on it regarding the numbers of opposing aircraft at the start of Barbarossa. Like all internet stuff how true it is is open to argument but the author seems to have plenty of reference material.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa
I am sure the more knowlegeable members of the forum would be able to provide accurate figures on the types, numbers and delivery dates of aircraft supplied to the Russians during the course of the war.
Edit: Klemm.co beat me to it
SeaFireLIV
Yep. They weren`t all there in one go and certainly not at the critical start which could have won it for the Germans. You`re going to have to re-assess your perspective, Freiwillige.
Xiolablu3
As others have said 1800 aircraft is what the Luftwaffe had AT ONE TIME. It is not the TOTAL planes they used up during the war.
They got through 10's of thousands through losses, wastage and accidents.
There were over 20,000 BF109's built alone.
That means the Germans were losing (20,000/5 years) around 4000 Bf109s a year.
Assuming the Russians had a lot mroe losses than the Germans, and factoring in that the Germasn were losing on the Western fron too, 3000 P39's is not even enough to sustain attrition for a year.
GUnther Rall actaully says that the Luftwaffe never recovered from the losses they sustained in the Battle of Britian. I guess he cant mean actual material losses, I mean the Germans soon seemed to recover the 1500 or so planes lost in the battle. He must mean all the great pilots and leaders lost in the battle??
P-39 5707 (4719 reached the USSR)
P-40 2397
P-47 195
P-63 2397 (21 lost in transfer)
Hurricane 2952
Total: 14982 (Soviet production: 74,740)
Bomber and Attack Aircraft
A-20 2908
B-25 862
Hampden 23
plus a few others
Total: 3809 (Soviet production: 65,000)
Most of the P39's probably arrived a bit too late (after Stalingrad) rather than at the really critical period, pre winter 1942.
Hurricanes were probably the only planes to reach RUssia in the really critiacal period, when Russia was trying to fight the Germans with biplanes.
Also it was more th esum of the parts than the actual Hurricanes which were so useful to the RUssians. For example Gunther Rall states that the Russians didnt have any gunsight technology until the Hurrricanes arrived and used to paint the gunsight on the window.
He said in this period, 'pre-Hurricane' there was no danger even if a RUssian plane got on his tail as they could never hit him.
No dounbt they also took the Hurricane apart and studied it taking the good ideas and using them for their own planes.
Gunther Rall states that the Russians didnt have any gunsight technology until the Hurrricanes arrived and used to paint the gunsight on the window.
Sounds like an urban myth to me. Sure the Russians still had some ring-and-bead sights at the start of the war, but in this aspect i believe Oleg, in that most of their planes had reflector sights when the war started.
There might have been one or two instances when a Russian plane with the gunsight painted on the windshield painted had been found, but even that is unlikely.
What i read was that the Russian pilots were good fliers, but bad shooters. They could handle their aircraft well, but hadn't much of a clue about aerial gunnery. That's part of the reason why the Finns had such great successes against the Russians, thorough air-to-air combat training and air-air gunnery training.
At the start of the war between Russia and Germany, Germany just held all the cards, like pilot training, experience and technical superiority.
But all those advantages couldn't help the lack of foresight and tactical and strategical knowledge of Göing, Hitler & co., let alone their missing leadership and managing abilities.
M_Gunz
The I-16's we have are supposed to be as they were by the year each is stated to be.
That includes sights.
It might also do to find out the level of pilot training given the Russian fliers rather than
relying on western myths. They had some very good training and expert pilots who put on expert
demonstrations that have been filmed as well as written about. The same men who flew aerobatics
demonstrations with colored bands tied between their wingtips gave 1 on 1 training throughout
in the late 30's.
Note the reputation of the Rata over Spain. With poor training that plane is more danger to
the pilot than to the enemy. The Russians did not lack training. More proof is the accounts
of the Russian Aces.
Golodnikov -- 2 years of military pilot school. (http://lend-lease.airforce.ru/english/articles/golodnikov/part1.htm)
Kardopolysev (http://mig3.sovietwarplanes.com/pilots/kardopoltsev/kardopoltsev.htm)
Let's see how many people pick out details to magnify on and forget the whole picture.
Before the war, gliding was a big sport in Russia. Not as big as in Germany but then Russia
did not have restrictions placed on them so there was also sport powered flight there.
The cut-off of information between Russia and most of the west only fed the words of those who
play on ignorance. Pretty much the same was revealed in 1989 at Farnsborough.
DKoor
I'm sorry but if this isn't a troll thread then it's really belongs to some of the worse threads I opened lately.
And yes, nothing to put in a new perspective.
Well anyhow, it depends on perspective you originally had.
Some would consider the great number of the aircraft received being totally non-flyable condition after 20-30-40hours of flight etc. Lack of parts and all kind of support. And that was the top of an iceberg.
Good point DKoor. The numbers obviously don't tell the whole story qualitatively in terms of where those aircraft were allocated, the hours of training of the pilots, combat experience of the pilots, and so on and so forth. Also since the numbers are comparing standing force of the Luftwaffe at a specific point in time versus all of the P-39s shipped via lend lease between the start and end of the war...largely pointless.
Yes the economies of scale and the differences were huge but the numbers here are largely misleading or not worthy of comparison.
But be sure those planes did make a difference.

There's a whole lot more to the air war between Germany and Russia than that.
TX-Gunslinger
As many have said, you cannot characterize a 3 year and 10 month campaign by the simple sum of forces.
As a matter of fact, even campaigns of smaller scope cannot effectively be compared by the sum of the equipment and manpower.
One of the most significant missing elements is the time or phase element - the other being the density, or distribution of the equipment and manpower.
rnzoli
And exactly what are you trying to say with these one-sided figures?
So far you seem to trying to prove that the Nazi leadership was completely blind and haven't realized that the war will be ulitmately won by production quantities. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
And that the Allies were better at cooperating with each other, than the Axis powers. What's the news in that?
BWaltteri
Broadly speaking, half of the total losses in any air force happened in non combat activities. Pilot losses took place even more rarely than that.
To that opinion by Rall that Luftwaffe never recovered from the losses that happened in 1940 he was referring to the pilot losses, not to planes. No pilot that came after 1940 received as good training as the old cadre.

Yes gliding was huge in Germany in the late 20's and 30's. Because of the Versailles treaty forbid Germany from having an airforce. So glider clubs got very popular and many Luftwaffe experts started out flying gliders in highschool clubs.
Also I just want to say that lend lease did a huge part to mechanize the Russian army. More than half of their trucks came from good ol' USA. That gave them the mobility needed to use the German blitz tactics against them in 44'.
jarink
17% wastage during delivery? Woah, that's really steep. Sources? Reason for such a high number?
High number of losses was due to the fact that not only did the equipment have to get across the atlantic passed all of the U-boats but also it had to get passed the FW-200's out of Norway
and the northern U-boat fleet just to get to Murmansk.

I have read that Luftwaffe wasn't eager to take former glider pilots to their training. Julius Meimberg wrote in his book how he did everything to hide that he had been in a gliding club.
A surprise to me after reading and hearing that the Hitler Youth trained on gliders just to
be ready for powered flight. Germany was preparing itself for the war long before the start.
From Rickenbacker's Seven Came Through about a conversation he had in 1922:
Goring said something I still remember. He said: Our whole future is in the air. And it is by
air power that we are going to recapture the German empire. To accomplish this we will do three
thing. First, we will teach gliding as a sport to all our young men. Then we will build up
commercial aviation. Finally we will create the skeleton of a military air force. When the time
comes we will put all three together - and the German empire will be reborn.
Perhaps the politics changed on May 15, 1929 when an Austrian Jew named Robert Kronfeld was the
first to utilize thermal updrafts to achieve true soaring glider flight. He climbed to 6700ft
and landed 102km from his start point.
In 1985, Richard Devlin notes that the USAF Academy in Colorado operates one of the largest
sailplane schools in the world, flying more than 13,000 sorties annually. Each year some 400
cadets are enrolled in the Academy's Airmanship Program.
OTOH you can ask those who fly sailplanes and power planes if they got any edge from flying the
former. We have a few such members right here.
tragentsmith
Well, I'm a sailpilot in my free time. Not doing 500 hours in a year (more around 150) and I can tell you that compared to motor flight, gliding is a much funnier experience. You have to be careful on a lot of parameters if you want to stay in the air for more than 10 minutes and be able to do something. If you are not too bad, you can really do good things. If I remember correctlty, the record flight while starting from our airfield (near Paris, France) is 932 km in a day(but it's not me!). When you manage such a flight, well, non aerobatic flying in an engine-powered plane is a bit like taking the bus to travel... Way less funny.

Pope Francis to meet with head of Czech and Slovak Orthodox Church
Credit: St. Petersburg Theological Academy via Flickr CC BY ND 2.0.
By Hannah Brockhaus
Vatican City, May 9, 2018 / 08:45 am ().- Pope Francis and the primate of the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia, His Beatitude Metropolitan Rastislav, will meet for the first time later this week, the Vatican announced Wednesday.
The meeting will take place May 11, the first visit between the pope and the Orthodox archbishop, who was elected primate, or the head, of the Czech and Slovak Orthodox Church in January 2014. Details of the visit have not been made available.
During his May 9-12 trip to Rome, Rastislav will meet with the president of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch, and will celebrate Divine Liturgy at the tomb of St. Cyril in the Roman minor Basilica of St. Clement.
The Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia is an Eastern Orthodox Church whose territory covers the countries of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It is one of 14 self-governing Orthodox Churches originating in the Byzantine tradition, which was brought to the area through the evangelization of Sts. Cyril and Methodius.
Sts. Cyril and Methodius are sometimes called the "Apostles of the Slavs" for their tireless work in spreading the Gospel throughout Eastern Europe in the 9th century.
Such was their influence in Church history, through their evangelization efforts, that the late Pope John Paul II named the two brothers the patron saints of Europe, along with 5th century monastic leader St. Benedict.
Cyril and Methodius are venerated by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox. The common veneration of saints has been one of the tools Pope Francis uses to foster ecumenical relations with the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
One example of this "ecumenism of saints" took place last year, when relics of St. Philip and St. Nicholas were transported to Turkey and Russia, from Italy. They were exposed for the veneration of Orthodox Christians from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Patriarchate of Moscow.
On his return from accompanying the relic of St. Nicholas to Russia, Bari's Archbishop Francesco Cacucci said that the translation of the relic was "already an ecumenical dialogue," as Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill of Moscow had said many times.
"When ecumenism does not involve only the top ranks of Churches or theologians, but rather involves the people of God, then it is possible to move forward."
The archbishop explained that, for Pope Francis, the veneration of relics is "an essential part of the path toward the re-establishment of full communion among all Christians."
"The common veneration of saints helps us to look at ecumenical dialogue with a light of hope," he said.

Q: How to add flags with my intent in the manifest file we know that there  are flags which we can add to our intent  using the addFlags() method in our java code. Is there any way we can add these flags in the manifest file itself instead of writing this in java code.
I need to add REORDER_TO_FRONT flag for one of my activities in the manifest.
How to achieve this ?

A: To answer the original question, since this appears as the first answer in the google search, it can be done, since API level 3 (introduced in 2009) with adding android:noHistory="true" to the activity definition in the manifest file as described here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nohist.
example:
<activity
   android:name=".MainActivity"
   android:label="@string/app_name"
   android:noHistory="true">
  <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
      <category android:name="android.intent.cataegory.LAUNCHER"/>
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

A: I had a similar problem and wanted to set the flags
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK

in order to bring the activity always to top.
In this scenario, the solution is to set the attribute
android:launchMode="singleInstance"

in the manifest.
Generally, there are many attributes in the Android manifest for an activity, and you may play around with these to get similar effects as with flags.

A: In manifest file you can not add Intent flags.You need to set the flag in Intent which u pass to startActivity. Here is a sample:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityNameToLaunch.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT);
startActivity(intent);

A: You can easily achieve this with using android:launchMode="singleTop" in the <activity> node of manifest, like this:
<activity
    android:name=".ui.activities.MainActivity"
    android:launchMode="singleTop">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity>

Note, that android:launchMode="singleInstance" as it is given by @jörg-eisfeld is not recommended option for general use, as it is stated in official documentation: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html (see the android:launchMode section)

Burkitt-Like Lymphoma with 11q Aberration: A Case Report and Review of a Rare Entity
Case Rep Hematol. 2020 Sep 7;2020:8896322. doi: 10.1155/2020/8896322. eCollection 2020.
Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration is a rare diagnostic entity commonly occurring in children and young adults with a nodal presentation. This entity shares many similar morphologic and immunophenotypic features with conventional Burkitt lymphoma and other aggressive B-cell lymphomas, making its recognition challenging. However, the presence of its characteristic 11q gain/loss pattern is helpful in the diagnosis. We report a case of Burkitt-like lymphoma presenting as a right neck mass in
a 17-year-old female patient that demonstrated no improvement with antibiotic therapy. The neoplasm displayed a diffuse proliferation of intermediate-sized atypical lymphoid cells with prominent nucleoli in a background of apoptotic debris, morphologically raising concern for conventional Burkitt lymphoma. Subsequent immunohistochemical and cytogenetic studies established the most likely diagnosis of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration. Though rare, Burkitt-like lymphoma exhibits significant morphologic overlap with other high-grade B-cell lymphomas, making it an important entity to consider on the differential diagnosis of these lesions.

"Peaches" is a punk rock single by the Stranglers, from their debut studio album Rattus Norvegicus (1977). Notable for its distinctive bassline, the track peaked at No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart.

Song information
The lyrics to "Peaches" featured coarse sexual language and innuendo to a degree that was unusual for the time. The song's narrator is girl-watching on a crowded beach one hot summer day. It is never made clear if his lascivious thoughts (such as "there goes a girl and a half") are an interior monologue, comments to his mates, or come-on lines to the attractive women in question. The critic Tom Maginnis wrote that Hugh Cornwell sings with "a lecherous sneer, the sexual tension is so unrelenting as to spill into macho parody or even censor-baiting territory".
The single was a double A-side with pub rock song "Go Buddy Go".  The latter was played on UK radio at the time and also was performed on the band's first BBC TV Top of the Pops appearance, because the sexual nature of the lyrics of "Peaches" caused the BBC to censor it. Still, "Peaches" was ranked at No. 18 among the top "Tracks of the Year" for 1977 by NME, and it reached No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart. The radio cut was re-recorded with less explicit lyrics: "clitoris" was replaced with "bikini", "oh shit" with "oh no" and "what a bummer" with "what a summer". The catalogue number of the radio version was FREE 4.

Legacy
In a 2022 feature, Guitar World named "Peaches" as having the 4th best bassline of all time.

An edited version of "Peaches", minus the lyrics, was used as the closing theme tune to many of the TV chef Keith Floyd's Floyd on... television shows. It was also used as the title music in the opening sequence of 2000 British film Sexy Beast and during a party scene in the 1997 film Metroland. The song is also on the soundtrack of the video game Driver: Parallel Lines (2006). It was used by Adidas in advertising in the Netherlands in 2002.

The song is used in episode 16 of the BBC series Being Human, when the hungry "teenage" vampire Adam stalks three teenage girls into a game arcade.

The song is heard in episode nine of series two of the TV series Gotham, the opening sequence of a 2006 Hollyoaks episode, and the 2011 film Killer Elite.

Dub Pistols covered the song on their 2007 album, Speakers and Tweeters, with Rodney P on guest MC vocals and Terry Hall of the Specials singing the chorus. Audio Bullys and Liam Howlett included it in their installment of the Back to Mine series of "after hours grooving" DJ mix albums, with Simon Franks of the duo referring to it as "raw UK old school".

The single was re-issued, with "Go Buddy Go", on green vinyl and with a new sleeve for the 2014 Record Store Day.

Q: Mapbox Directions Instructions in Metric I am trying to work with the Mapbox Directions plugin.  I have found no documentation for the various controls indicated in the example here:
https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/mapbox-directions/
The Inputs control doesn't work well at all so I'm using my own control and have got it to display the origin and destination markers, route highlight, and instructions using code similar to this:
        var loStartLatLng = L.latLng(53.5, -113.5);
        var loEndLatLng = L.latLng(53.5012, -113.5012);

        var loDirections = L.mapbox.directions({
            profile: 'mapbox.driving'
        });

        loDirections.setOrigin(loStartLatLng);
        loDirections.setDestination(loEndLatLng);
        loDirections.query();

        var loDirectionsLayer = L.mapbox.directions.layer(loDirections).addTo(moMap);
        var loDirectionsErrorsControl = L.mapbox.directions.errorsControl('divRouteErrors', loDirections);
        var loDirectionsRoutesControl = L.mapbox.directions.routesControl('divAlternateRoutes', loDirections);
        var loDirectionsInstructionsControl = L.mapbox.directions.instructionsControl('divRouteInstructions', loDirections);

I have not found documentation for any of the above controls.  One thing I absolutely must be able to change is the instructions' units.  It currently outputs in imperial/English/us units but I need to be able to toggle to metric for some customers.  How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

A: The documentation for mapbox-directions.js can be found in the API.md file in the repo. Keep in mind that this plugin is very much still in development and changes often (it is pre-1.0).
You are right about unit control -- it was added after the release of 0.3.0 so it does not appear in the library in the CDN right now. One of the directions team developers just told me that there will be a new release of mapbox-directions.js tomorrow (yay!) and unit control will be included!
In terms of the inputs control, it doesn't take addresses/POIs, but lat/lon pairs. In the example, you have to click on the map to set a start location and then click on it again to set a destination location. The control will automatically populate with the lat/lon pairs and return a list of directions between them.

A: Try: L.mapbox.directions({units: 'metric'}); I also couldn't find any documentation but looked at the repo and immediately found this push request from juni 13th.

Anthropologist wins award for ethnohistory paper
Author: Michael Lucien
University of Notre Dame anthropologist Karen Richman has been awarded the Robert F. Heizer Article Award by the American Society for Ethnohistory. The award recognizes the best article in the field of ethnohistory this year.
Richman, the director of academic affairs and the Center for Migration and Border Studies in the University's Institute for Latino Studies, was recognized for an article on Haitian Vodou art that appeared in the Spring 2008 issue of the journal Ethnohistory.
Richman's article uses a scandal at a Chicago-area elementary school as the starting point for a discussion on how artistic mimicry can serve to engage modes of perceiving and understanding Haitian culture. By utilizing the travel memoirs of experts on Haitian Vodou art, the article suggests that despite the apparent contradiction, mimicry in art can provide valuable insight into how cultures see themselves.
Richman, a faculty fellow in Notre Dame's Kellogg Institute for International Studies, specializes in Haitian society, language, religion, migration and politics.
The American Society for Ethnohistory is the preeminent international organization in the field of ethnohistory. Founded in 1954, the society is an outgrowth of research conducted for the Indian Claims Act of 1946.
