La Bodleian Library (en llatí, Bibliotheca Bodleiana) és la principal biblioteca de recerca de la Universitat d'Oxford, Anglaterra. És una de les biblioteques més antigues d'Europa, i al Regne Unit només la supera en grandària la Biblioteca Britànica. És una de les cinc biblioteques britàniques de dipòsit de drets d'autor.

Història
La Bodleian Library (oficialment Bodley's Library) d'Oxford -coneguda de manera informal durant segles per als erudits oxonians com «The Bod» - es va inaugurar el 1602 amb una col·lecció de dos mil llibres reunits per Thomas Bodley (del Merton College d'Oxford) per substituir la biblioteca donada a la Divinity School per Humfred de Gloucester (germà d'Enric V d'Anglaterra), però que havia estat dispersada durant el .

El 1610, Bodley va arribar a un acord amb la Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers de Londres per dipositar a la biblioteca una còpia de cada llibre que registressin. La col·lecció Bodleian va créixer tan ràpid que es va necessitar una primera ampliació de l'edifici el 1610-1612, i una altra el 1634-1637. Quan John Selden va morir el 1654, va llegar a la Bodleian la seva gran col·lecció de llibres i manuscrits.

El 1911, la «Copyright Act» va mantenir l'acord amb els Stationers fent que la Bodleian fos (en aquell temps) una de les sis biblioteques del Regne Unit dipositàries d'una còpia de cada llibre amb drets d'autor.

El 1913 es van obrir dues plantes per a emmagatzematge sota la Cambra Radcliffe i la plaça Radcliffe. En els anys trenta del segle XX es va construir l'edifici New Bodleian (Nova Bodleian), amb un ampli magatzem i una nova sala de lectura. Un túnel sota el carrer Broad connecta ambdues Bodleian (la Vella i la Nova).

Torre dels Cinc Ordres

Una part de la Bodleian Library està continguda en l'anomenada Torre dels Cinc Ordres (Tower of the Five Orders). La torre rep aquest nom perquè està ornamentada, en sentit ascendent, amb columnes de cadascun dels cinc ordres de la arquitectura clàssica: dòric, toscà, jònic, corinti i compost.

L'astrònom Thomas Hornsby va observar el trànsit de Venus des d'aquesta torre el 1769.

La Bodleian avui

Avui, la Bodleian inclou diverses àrees d'emmagatzematge externes així com unes altres nou biblioteques situades a Oxford. Aquests llocs contenen nou milions d'articles en 176 quilòmetres de prestatges, i tenen seients per 2500 lectors:
 la Bodleian Japanese Library
 la Bodleian Law Library
 la Hooke Library
 la Biblioteca de l'Institut Indi
 la Biblioteca de l'Institut Oriental
 la Biblioteca de Filosofia
 la Radcliffe Science Library
 la Bodleian Library de la Commonwealth i Estudis Africans a la Casa Rhodes
 la Vere Harmsworth Library
Abans d'accedir al contingut de la biblioteca, els nous lectors han de fer la següent declaració, habitualment en anglès en comptes de fer-ho en el llatí com es feia originalment:

Desenvolupament digital

La biblioteca digital: "Oxford Digital Library" (ODL ) és un component clau de l'estratègia digital dels Oxford University Library Services (OULS). S'ha establert per a poder desenvolupar la infraestructura tècnica d'un servei avançat, proporcionant accés online a les col·leccions. La Bodleian Library ha ofert el seu suport a l'establiment de la biblioteca digital de lliure accés: Journal Server com també ha allotjat recursos dels Oxford Digital Library Servers. La Biblioteca Digital "Oxford Digital Library" va començar a operar al juliol de 2001 i té una petita col·lecció d'arxius digitals.

La Bodleian Library en la ficció
La bella arquitectura de la Biblioteca ha fet que es roden diverses pel·lícules en aquesta localització. Es pot veure en Another Country ( 1984 ), La bogeria del rei Jordi ( 1994 ) i en els dos primers Harry Potter, en el qual la Divinity School, on es fa passar per ala de l'hospital Hogwarts i la Biblioteca Duke Humphrey és la biblioteca de Hogwarts. La Cambra Radcliffe apareix en la pel·lícula El Sant ( 1997 ). En El nou món ( 2005 ) l'edifici de la biblioteca és l'entrada a la cort anglesa.

Les primeres paraules de la versió en llatí de la promesa del lector (Do fidem em nullum librum vel) es pot veure al barret del lingüista a la mini sèrie de 1996 sobre Els viatges de Gulliver.

Atès que John R.R. Tolkien havia estudiat filologia a Oxford i amb el temps va arribar a ser-ne professor, estava molt familiaritzat amb el "Llibre vermell de Hergest" que es conserva a la Bodleian, i més tard va crear el seu propi "Red Book of Westmarch" ( « Llibre Vermell de la Frontera de l'Oest ») de ficció, narrant la història d'El Senyor dels Anells. Molts dels manuscrits de Tolkien estan ara a la Bodleian Library.

Online marketplace Babakimpo pictured at the first Brunei Cyber Shopfest last year.
17 local e-commerce businesses will be showcasing promotions on their products and services at the CyberShop Fair this February 2 to 3 at The Airport Mall's atrium.
The CyberShop Fair is a physical extension of Authority for Info-Communications Technology Industry's (AITI) second CyberShop Festival which hopes to encourage more Bruneians to shop from local online businesses through promotions including discounts, free shipping, giveaways and othe rewards.
The fair opens up an opportunity for online businesses to showcase their brands in person, and capitalize on their promotions tied to the festival which is currently ongoing until the end of February.
Managing director of Brunei's only online pet products store Nimanja Anderson Lim said that they were currently offering five to 50% discounts on their website.
"We participated in the first CyberShop Festival last year where they also set up at ICC in conjunction with the Consumer Fair and it helped us increase awareness of our offline and online sales platforms," said Anderson, who will be opening Nimanja's third store at One City Shopping Centre next week.
AITI's Senior Manager for Internet Economy Rosnani Haji Mohd Yussof said that their recent survey showed that although 76% of Bruneians had made online payments, the majority of these were from foreign vendors. 24% of respondents also said they don't shop online, citing fear of fraud and preference to shop in physical stores.
Rosnani added that the CyberShop Fest – also supported by Department of Economic Planning and Development and Darussalam Enterprise – was one of their annual initiatives to help improve consumer confidence in shopping from local online vendors.
@naindahbn is offering up to 55% discounts and fantastic prizes throughout the Cybershop Fest period. Save time, shop online and support your local online vendors!

If your website's traffic seems to be dropping and you hear tons of complaints that your site is so unreliable, then it might indeed be the case. The last thing that you need is for your own website to drive your online visitors away for the reason that it is not reliable enough to appeal them of visiting it. Here are some nifty tips you can use to enhance the reliability of your site and increase the number of its visitors.
Many online users are often weary of sites that do not have sufficient information about the people running them. This is especially the case for new websites which only a few people are already familiar with. If you want to build up your reputation early, it would be a good idea to provide as much information as you can about yourself and the site you are running. This way, users will be able to verify that your site is indeed legit. If you have an actual physical office, then it is a must that you include it. There are also certain instances you need to disclose how your site is funded, especially if you are dealing with financial transactions.
Just like any business, people will be more convinced that you are able to deliver the services you have promised if you have a strong mission statement displayed on your site's pages. Avoid using abstract mission statements like "we are here to deliver the best services" as this doesn't really cut it out for your audience. Instead, use concrete words that are directly related to your site, as this would convince them much better.
This is especially important for sites dealing with factual information, such as those relating to health and nutrition. If you are creating your own data, such as from a research conducted by your own site, you have to disclose the methodology you used to come up with the results. On the other hand, if you are presenting information coming from other sources, it is important that you clearly identify and acknowledge these sources. It would be a good idea to post a link back to the source for your readers' convenience.
Having an expert backing is very effective in convincing your readers that your site is indeed reliable. However, simply saying you were assisted by experts doesn't cut it. You have to tell your readers who these experts are. A simple profile page would often be enough. These experts would also be thankful if you can provide links to their own contacts page for readers.
Aside from providing the sources of your information, you need to also give references to other sources you have used in your web site's contents. This is so that your readers will be able to easily access them in case they also need these sources. You can simply provide links to the sources, or in case of electronic copies of materials, such as PDF files, you can provide these as downloads for convenience.
All this information is pretty useless if your readers won't get hooked into reading them. With that in mind, you need to come up with really engaging content to present your info. Instead of going all too technical, you can play around and find ways to make your content more fun. This also has the added bonus of helping your readers understand your information more.
While textual presentation is always good, your visitors will find it more useful if you have other forms of content available to back this up. In some cases another content format, such as a video might even prove more effective in delivering your content. You can mix and match different types of content depending on what you see fit to deliver your content. You can add images, graphs or other forms of presentations that will be helpful for your visitors to understand better. Some online users are fond of reading while others prefer watching videos instead in order to get the information that they want. Your website will likely be more reliable when you can cater to both of these types of online users.
One of the things that annoy many online users is when they spot too many errors in your content. And this gets even worse if they spot it on a lot of your other materials. Before putting your content out, make sure that you run it through quality control. And this is not only about spelling and grammatical errors. You also need to make sure that all of your facts and other data are correct. Also check that all your links are active and correct for your visitors' convenience.
People will easily shy away from your site if they don't get the content they need or want. Know what your audience wants by placing yourself in their shoes. If you yourself already have experience looking for similar content on the internet, then you already have an idea of the stuff your audience wants. From there, you will get a good picture of what to serve your visitors.
Online users can get easily annoyed if they have a hard time going around your site and looking for information. Free them from the burden of having to go through several pages by making everything accessible right from the home page. A simple search bar is more than welcomed to quickly get into specific pages. Also make your user interface easy and intuitive for visitors.
People are on the lookout for the latest information on the topic they are checking. Spend a little time in researching the newest developments in your area so that you are able to deliver them as soon as they come out. In case you already posted on the topic and new info suddenly pops up, update yours immediately to reflect this.
People can quickly drop your site if they don't see anything new for a few days. Post as frequently as you can in order to keep them interested. One new content per day is often enough to keep your site going. In case you don't have new content that is directly related to the site's topic, you are free to post something different as long as it is interesting to your audience and does not stray too far off-course.
Getting viruses and malware into their computers after visiting your site is definitely going to piss off a lot of visitors. Do a thorough inspection of your site to make sure that no malicious software is hitching a ride in your side. Do a regular check once every week and equip your site with the latest virus and malware protection software. In case your site has financial transactions going through it (such as if you are running an online store), you definitely need to be doubly careful. Make sure that you only use a trusted and secure method to handle these financial transactions, as well as your users' data.
If people need to sign up for your site's services, they often want to do it quickly, especially if they are in a rush. So, you don't want to bother them with a lengthy form to fill up. Make it just a few fields long with only the most essential information needed. Also, the email sign up page should be prominently displayed on your site for easy access. Again, assure your users that all of their personal information are safe within your site\s servers.
A simple comment box is useful for hearing out your visitors' comments, suggestions, and rants. Position it in a spot where they will be able to access it and post immediately. A comment sidebar has been often useful for this purpose. But of course, don't just let the comment stream. Take time to read through them. You will surely find many useful comments you can take into consideration for improving your site.
Many users will expectedly have a lot of questions when it comes using your site's services. And they would want to get in touch with someone to help them sort it out. Make sure that all your communication channels like email, chat, and even the phone, open for any inquiries regarding your site's services. If you have the time, it would be a good idea for you to personally respond to the inquiries. This will definitely improve your relationship with your site's visitors, as they will be able to get in touch with the person behind the site.
Aside from doing tech support, you also need to interact with your site's visitors in a variety of other ways. Again, the idea here is to foster a more personal relationship with your visitors, which in turn would make them feel more secure with your site. If your site has its own forum section, participate and initiate threads which will be in your visitors' interest. You can also personally respond to the comments made by your visitors to your contents.
Social networking sites have become very popular nowadays and you definitely would want to take advantage. Much like the above tip, your goal here is to bolster your relationship with your site's audience. Using the social networking site, you will be able to get in touch with your audience outside your own site. This will also have help in increasing your potential audience as you will be able to reach more people who might not be familiar with your site. Connect your social network profiles to your site to your site in order to entice them to drop by.
Remember that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of competitors out there who would try to get a fair share of your audience. Be steps ahead and look for ways to improve your site. Be it a new way to deliver content or a method to speed up transactions within your site, they will all come in handy in better increasing the reliability of your site.
All of these will be useless if you are not able to properly deliver your site's services in the first place. Make sure that your site runs smoothly before introducing it to the public. When it comes to your site's services, make sure that these are flowing smoothly so that delivery will not be affected. In case of hitches in either the site itself or supporting services, deal with them immediately and avoid a long wait for your site's users.

The Variegated Fiveleaf Aralia has attractive white-variegated light green foliage throughout the season. The round palmate leaves are highly ornamental and turn yellow in fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.
The Variegated Fiveleaf Aralia is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
The Variegated Fiveleaf Aralia will grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 10 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 25 years.
This shrub performs well in both full sun and full shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.


Nowadays, Dunkin' Brands Group is OK with simply being a cold brew coffee serving company called Dunkin'.
So if investors are looking to the donut chain – set to release a new line of discount espresso drinks – to wade into the breakfast price wars with McDonald's, think again. "We like this niche we have carved out, it's about being the best Dunkin.' We are not in this discount swamp, we are building a better experience on the coffee side," Dunkin' Brands Group (DNKN) CEO David Hoffmann told Yahoo Finance when asked if the company would get into a renewed battle with McDonald's (MCD) in breakfast soon.
McDonald's said this week it will unveil a host of new breakfast sandwiches to reignite its stagnant U.S. sales. McDonald's third-quarter U.S. same-store sales slowed for the second straight quarter. The company also signaled it would return to offering sharper price points on breakfast food to win back diners.
Hoffmann would know a thing or two about McDonald's offering cheaply priced breakfast sandwiches.
Prior to joining Dunkin' in 2016, Hoffmann served in various leadership roles at McDonald's. He began his fast-food career as a line cook at the Golden Arches. Hoffmann was the key architect of Dunkin's new three-year growth plan unveiled at an analyst day earlier this year.
As part of that plan, Dunkin' began removing unprofitable sandwiches from its menu in 2017. This year, it has pivoted to marketing snacks like packaged brownies, simple egg wraps and an array of new coffees. The effort stems from Hoffmann's belief that consumers want quicker service these days – and not to wait 12 minutes for an iced coffee (we see you, Starbucks). Coffee continues to be a hot category with lucrative profit margins, too.
Dunkin' has said new restaurants will just be called Dunkin', a nod to the new coffee push. Cups with the new branding will hit stores soon.
So far so good for Hoffmann's repositioning.
Dunkin' shares are up 11% year to date, outperforming the S&P 500's modest advance. Dunkin' reported Thursday that third-quarter earnings came in at 83 cents a share, beating forecasts of 73 cents a share.

The Analytics Engineer – new role in the data team
Tags: Analytics, Analytics Team, Data Science Team, Engineer, Skills
In a constantly changing landscape and with many companies, the roles and responsibilities of data engineers, analysts, and data scientists are changing, forcing the introduction of a new role: The Analytics Engineer.
By Michael Kaminsky, Data Strategist.
The landscape of the data and analytics world is shifting rapidly. In many companies, the roles and responsibilities of data engineers, analysts, and data scientists are changing. This change has created the need for a new role on the data team which some have taken to calling the "analytics engineer".
The analytics engineer sits at the intersection of the skill sets of data scientists, analysts, and data engineers. They bring a formal and rigorous software engineering practice to the efforts of analysts and data scientists, and they bring an analytical and business-outcomes mindset to the efforts of data engineering. It's their job to build tools and infrastructure to support the efforts of the analytics and data team as a whole.
Before we dive further into the role, we should cover some background on the "traditional" roles on the data team1.
Data engineers: traditionally, this has been a "plumbing" job of moving bytes from point A to point B, typically misnomered simply as "ETL". They were concerned with building robust and scalable infrastructure for ingesting and storing data, but generally did not concern themselves with "business logic" – once the data were in the warehouse, it wasn't their problem any more.
Analysts: traditionally, this has been a reporting and pure analysis job. Using a little SQL and a lot of excel, analysts would maintain dashboards and perform one-off strategic analyses to support key business initiatives.
Data scientists: somewhat of a mixed bag, however data scientists traditionally spent their time using statistical programming languages (like R or SAS) to perform more complicated or sophisticated analyses. They would perhaps "prototype" machine learning models that get handed off to the "real engineers" for implementation in production.
In the last few years, we've seen a lot of exciting developments in the analytics domain that have caused a shift in these traditional responsibilities. They are:
The rise of MPP SQL data-warehousing technologies like Redshift, BigQuery, and Snowflake
The birth of data-pipelines-as-a-service companies like Stitch and Fivetran
The advent of SQL-first BI tools like Looker, Mode, and Periscope
The emphasis companies are putting on prediction and personalization
The first two, taken together, have shifted the role of analysts dramatically. Nowadays analysts must know how to write SQL, use git/github, and generally spend a majority of their time writing code. While they aren't necessarily trained as software engineers, they are now responsible for managing substantial codebases. Similarly, while data engineers used to spend a lot of time split between building new data integrations between systems or working on platforms for scalable computation, most of that work can now be offloaded to Stitch/Fivetran (integrations) or to the warehouse itself (just let BigQuery figure out the optimal query plan). Finally, data scientists have suddenly become responsible for managing sophisticated production systems that are making real-time productions with significant business impact.
So what are the new roles and responsibilities?
Data engineers: still responsible for data infrastructure and plumbing code, but the team is now generally much smaller than it was in the past. Many companies can get by just using contractors and consultants in the beginning, and they may only need one or two data engineers to "fill in the gaps" of what they can't purchase from off-the-shelf solutions
Analysts: In addition to performing ad-hoc analyses, analysts are responsible for programming and managing BI tools and writing some ELT jobs (in Looker PDTs or via a tool like dbt)
Data scientists: In addition to doing one-off research tasks, data scientists are managing complex pipelines of data cleaning and orchestration feeding into machine learning models and sophisticated testing platforms.
Those who have worked in an organization like this before have likely felt the pinch of a missing role. While data scientists and analysts are writing a lot of code, being great software engineers isn't what they've been trained for and it often isn't their first priority. Similarly, while data engineers are great software engineers, they don't have training in how they data are actually used and so can't always partner effectively with analysts and data scientists.
I believe this gap should be filled in by analytics engineers. Their job is to:
Write production-quality ELT code with an eye towards performance and maintainability
Coach analysts and data scientists on software engineering best practices (e.g., building testing suites and CI pipelines)
Build software tools that help data scientists and analysts work more efficiently (e.g., writing an internal R or Python tooling package for analysts to use)
Collaborate with data engineers on infrastructure projects (where they advocate for and emphasize the business value of applications)
While they have a lot of strengths, analytics engineers can't (and shouldn't) do everything. Though they may have exposure to analytic methodologies, they often aren't as strong at communicating results or winning over business partners. While analysts specialize in deriving insights and communicating those to a wider audience, analytics engineers often don't do that as well. Similarly, while a data scientist may have a graduate degree in mathematics and a deep understanding of statistical theory, an analytics engineer will generally favor working code over theoretical correctness (so know what you're getting into!). Finally, with such a blend of skills, analytics engineers generally aren't the strongest software engineers you can find – their value comes from their well-roundedness. So while you may expect your systems engineers to have a deep knowledge of both networking and CS algorithms, analytics engineers often have shallower and more applied knowledge (and will need support from more technical engineering partners on especially tough engineering challenges).
This role can provide a multiplier effect on the output of an analytics teams. By helping analysts and data scientists scale their efforts without getting bogged down in unmaintainable code, you can run much leaner. Similarly, with talented software engineers on the team, analytics teams don't get blocked waiting on resources from other parts of the technology organization. Finally, with these resources you have someone naturally ready to partner with the rest of the tech organization on building data-driven products (like adding a recommendation engine into a web platform) than if you just have data scientists and analysts who might be less familiar with the operational constraints of such a feature.
Some readers may be thinking that this role sounds like a real unicorn that will be impossible to hire. I don't believe that's true – many teams have the people with the requisite skills and experience already on their teams today. Often this person looks like someone who was trained as an analyst or data scientist but who has elected to go deeper into software engineering. They're often the person showing new team-members how to set up git, who are volunteering for tasks with thorny technical issues and avoiding anything that requires working excel, or who are taking software engineering MOOCs in their spare time. There are a surprising number of these people out in the world today, but in the status-quo world they often go under-utilized and under-appreciated.
We as analytics leaders, by recognizing the importance of this skill set and the value of this role, can work to both cultivate and develop analytics engineers by 1) recognizing individuals who are positively inclined to this combination of responsibilities and 2) helping them find the right place in the organization where these skills can be fully leveraged, recognized, and appreciated.
I believe that recognizing the role and the title as an important job that is in fact distinct from the responsibilities of analyst/data-scientist/data-engineer is the first step. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this role and how to make analytics teams works more effectively. Please send me an email or join our slack channel to share.
Bio: Michael Kaminsky likes to build teams that build things and is a statistics nerd who somehow isn't very good at math, but a software engineer who isn't very good at writing code.

U.S. Chamber Foundation and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announce New Health and Economic Opportunity Initiative
Two-Year Campaign Will Engage Businesses in Community Wellness
.@USCCFBiz4Good @RWJF's Better Health through Economic Opportunity engages #business in community wellness http://bit.ly/1DfyK52
Tuesday, April 7, 2015 - 2:30pm
NEWSROOM: USCCF Corporate Citizenship Center
CAMPAIGN: Health and Wellness
WASHINGTON, April 7, 2015 /3BL Media/ - The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation today announced a two-year initiative to engage the American business community on the overlap of health and economic opportunity. The "Better Health through Economic Opportunity" campaign will be made possible through a $1.7 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Q: Idiomatic clojure question on sequence transformation I am learning Clojure, and I need a push in the right direction with this problem I came up with.
I have a sequence of events.  Each event includes a 'date'.
(def events
  [
   [1509 :marry   "Catherine of Aragon"]
   [1527 :unmarry "Catherine of Aragon"]
   [1533 :marry   "Anne Boleyn"]
   [1536 :unmarry "Anne Boleyn"]
   [1536 :marry   "Jane Seymour"]
   [1537 :unmarry "Jane Seymour"]
   [1540 :marry   "Anne of Cleves"]
   [1540 :unmarry "Anne of Cleves"]
   [1540 :marry   "Catherine Howard"]
   [1542 :unmarry "Catherine Howard"]
   [1543 :marry   "Catherine Parr"]])

I want to convert this into a lazy timeline, i.e. a sequence containing one vector per year.  Starting with the year of the first event, and continuing to infinity.
[[[:marry "Catherine of Aragon"]] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [[:unmarry "Catherine of Aragon"]] [] [] [] [] [] [[:marry "Ane Boleyn"]] [] [] [[:unmarry "Anne Boleyn"] [:marry "Jayne Seymour"]] ...]

A: (def timeline
  (let [events-by-year (group-by first events)]
    (map #(map next (events-by-year %))
      (iterate inc (reduce min (keys events-by-year))))))

Quick test:
=> (take 30 timeline)
(((:marry "Catherine of Aragon")) () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () ()
 () ((:unmarry "Catherine of Aragon")) () () () () () ((:marry "Anne Boleyn")) ()
 () ((:unmarry "Anne Boleyn") (:marry "Jane Seymour")) ((:unmarry "Jane Seymour"))
 ())

A: I would suggest something like:
(defn timeline
  ([] (timeline (ffirst *events*) *events*))
  ([time evts]
     (let [[now later] (split-with #(= time (first %)) evts)]
       (cons (map rest now)
             (lazy-seq (timeline (inc time) later))))))

Test:
user> (take 30 (timeline))
(((:marry "Catherine of Aragon")) () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () ()
 ((:unmarry "Catherine of Aragon")) () () () () () ((:marry "Anne Boleyn")) () ()
 ((:unmarry "Anne Boleyn") (:marry "Jane Seymour")) ((:unmarry "Jane Seymour")) ())

I'm assuming that the list of events is infinite as well :)
Updated with improvements, and borrowing a couple of ideas from cgrand (thanks :)

NOT AN APPROPRIATE PLACE
The Scrooges of Amtgard
[12/24/2004] [Matthias]
Past topics and threads in the forums have dealt with "belt hunger", the getting of awards and which motivations in the pursuit of excellence are pure and which ones are impure, and why some of these impure motives deserve to be looked down upon and not be rewarded.
In this article I want to address the other side of the coin. The people who want to tear down instead of build up; the people who dislike seeing other people excel; the people who would rather see the worst in people rather than the best.
These are the people who will think a genuinely good fighter must be sluffing. These people despise someone who "takes charge" and regard him as a bully, egomaniac, or worse. These people see a fantastic artisan and think that the A&S judges who give them high marks are showing favoritism. These people are the type who will feel contempt for those who serve and help as suck-ups, brown-nosers, yes-men, gophers/"go-fors".
These people hate to see others succeed, and may feel some need to "keep them down" or "keep them in their place". They become stingy with the honors and accolades they bestow upon others, like the Scrooge of literature. In their zeal to find people who are "worthy", they fail to give credit where credit is due.
I'd be willing to bet that most of these "Scrooges" are veterans who have become comfortable in their position of prestige and accomplishment and may feel threatened by those with whom they would share that position. Others may be threatened by change itself, and merely project this fear on the up and coming "new blood". Whatever the reason, the Scrooge does not give adequate respect to the person who is doing well, not as much as he might respect his fellow veterans for doing the same thing. He maintains one standard for the "old blood" and one for the new.
In practical terms, this translates to fewer awards, the raising of expectations and standards for projects and services, and in general not giving the newer players the recognition they rightfully deserve. When a veteran fighter ends up ignoring hits from a new (and good) fighter because he thinks there's no way they should have hit (but the veteran would most likely have accepted the same hits from a fellow veteran), it is this same "Scrooge" syndrome at work.
What are the results of this attitude if it becomes pervasive? Contentment, security, and happiness for the Scrooges obviously (as all successful defense mechanisms do). Now, the Scrooges may not even know they are being intellectually dishonoest or biased ... but if they do, they still excuse it by saying it's really in the best interests of everyone (meaning them and theirs) to keep the game from being "ruined". When multiple Scrooges get together, this usually ends up as a clique.
But what is more important is the effects on the new players who are being mistreated. They may feel dissatisfaction, frustration, and eventually disillusionment. When they realize the deck is subtly or blatantly stacked against them, they will leave, or they will make alternative arrangements (such as going off and founding a separate group outside of the clique's sphere of influence). Barring secession, the most tragic result of all may happen: the new player just gives up and embraces mediocrity, because it's just not worth the trouble.
Some may say that their leaving would be more tragic, but I disagree -- the player who gives up and leaves Amtgard entirely has not let the situation crush his spirit; he has left in self-defense and will find some other place he can excel in. The one who stays and tolerates the bias lets the infection of complacency take hold. Maybe not entirely, but in this part of his life, it has. This is the tragedy of the whole situation.
It is not enough to encourage excellence in others. You must also be willing to give excellence its due when you find it. The more you tell someone, even indirectly, that they're not good enough, the more they will believe it.

Ratings rise for host-less Oscars
Lady Gaga with her best song Oscar for A Star Is Born's Shallow
Ratings for this year's Academy Awards were up on last year's record low, according to data released by US broadcaster ABC.
The broadcast averaged 29.6 million viewers – an 11% increase on last year's audience of 26.5 million.
Instead of using a host, the Academy had celebrities – among them Daniel Craig, Julia Roberts and Dame Helen Mirren – announce each category.
But don't get used to it, as a host may be back for next year's ceremony.
Oscars draw smallest US TV audience
Rob Mills, ABC's senior vice president said that while the show "works when it's host-less… a host will be in the conversation for next year".
"Imagine what would have happened if Envelopegate had happened this year and we didn't have a host?" he told Variety.
Mills was referring to the moment when La La Land was accidentally named best picture instead of Moonlight in 2017in 2017.
"It's hard to imagine that moment now without Jimmy, who was able to rein in the chaos" he added.
Truth behind 'Envelopegate' emerges
While Hollywood's stars delight in their victories and nurse their after-party hangovers, here's a final round-up of this year's event.
Lady Gaga praises Bradley Cooper (again)
Following their sizzling duet of Shallow during Sunday's telecast, Gaga has praised her A Star Is Born co-star and director Bradley Cooper as an "artistic genius".
The pop star, who won best original song for Shallow, posted a picture of the pair on Instagram celebrating their moment on stage together.
It also appears that Gaga has patched things up with the original Queen of Pop.

A post shared by Madonna (@madonna) on Feb 25, 2019 at 3:12pm PST
End of Instagram post by madonna
The pair's on-off feud began in 2011 after Lady Gaga was accused of copying Madonna's 1989 hit Express Yourself in her single Born This Way.
Since then the ladies have exchanged not-so-nice comments – but it seems that's now all water under the bridge.
Queen announce new documentary
Queen and singer Adam Lambert were tasked with opening this year's ceremony with a powerful performance of the group's 1977 anthems, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions.
Brian May of Queen with Adam Lambert
Brian May and Roger Taylor, the band's founder members, worked with Lambert during his time on American Idol in 2009 and have since toured together.
Lambert has revealed that a new documentary about the band will air in April.
Titled The Show Must Go On, it will feature concert footage and interviews with the likes of Simon Cowell and Rami Malek, crowned best actor on Sunday for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
What's better than the Oscars? The after-parties of course
With all the hard work done and dusted, the Oscar after-parties were a chance for celebrities to let their hair down.
Melissa McCarthy and husband Ben Falcone decided to keep it casual, while J-Lo and partner A-Rod went the glamorous route.
L to R: Ben Falcone, Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez
Rather than donning a standard tuxedo, Pharrell Williams, Chadwick Boseman and Sir Elton John opted for more daring looks.

Meanwhile, Tiffany Haddish, Chrissy Teigen and Lupita Nyong'o showed that birds of a feather party together.

Written by Raven Clabough
A San Francisco jury has found agrochemical company Monsanto liable for causing a school groundskeeper's cancer in a case that could turn a powerful tide against the biotech giant — also the world's leading producer of genetically modified seeds — as the recent claim is just one of thousands against the company. Bayer, which purchased Monsanto just two months ago, has already seen its shares plummet after the loss.
According to California school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson (shown), exposure to Monsanto's Roundup is what caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The product's key ingredient is glyphosate, which was classified by the UN World Health Organization as "probably carcinogenic to humans" three years ago. Bloomberg News reports that Johnson mixed and sprayed hundreds of gallons of Roundup in his job as a groundskeeper. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, and by July 2017, after chemotherapy and other treatments, he was given six months to live. Johnson contends that it was his exposure to Roundup, which included accidents that resulted in his being soaked in the product, that caused his cancer.
Johnson's lawyer, Brent Wisner, provided evidence that Monsanto scientists were aware of the cancer risk posed by the product as early as the 1970s but kept it from the public and even went out of their way to "distort the truth." Wisner said in a statement after the verdict, "Despite the Environmental Protection Agency's failure to require labeling, we are proud that an independent jury followed the evidence and used its voice to send a message to Monsanto that its years of deception regarding Roundup [are] over and that they should put consumer safety first over profits."
The court ordered Monsanto to pay $250 million in punitive damages and $39 million in compensation and other costs.
The case marks a major victory for Americans who are opposed to pesticides and herbicides. As noted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Roundup is the most commonly used herbicide in the world, and traces of glyphosate have been found in foods, including children's cereals such as Cheerios and Trix.
Cases against the product are being made all across the world, according to Phys.org. A beekeeping cooperative in northern France, for example, filed a legal complaint against Bayer after discovering traces of glyphosate in batches of honey.
Some countries agree that glyphosates are dangerous. In August, a federal judge in Brazil ruled that new products containing glyphosate could no longer be registered in the country. The Sri Lankan government outright banned imports of glyphosate in 2015 after agricultural groups criticized the government for failing to conduct the necessary scientific research. That ban was lifted in July, though the use of glyphosate remains restricted. BBC News reports that French president Emmanuel Macron has been working to ban glyphosate in the country but has faced resistance from some French lawmakers.
But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continues to insist that the product is safe. However, critics claim that the EPA assessment was determined because of collusion between government officials and Monsanto — claims that seem to be supported by the evidence provided in Johnson's case.
Monsanto's lawyers released a written statement that continues to claim that glyphosate is a safe product: "Today's decision does not change the fact that more than 800 scientific studies and reviews — and conclusions by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US National Institutes of Health and regulatory authorities around the world — support the fact that glyphosate does not cause cancer, and did not cause Mr. Johnson's cancer."" The main assertion seems to be that since glyphosates are the world's most common weedkiller, if it caused cancer, it would be very evident. The jury in the case was empaneled in San Francisco, a state that also recently said that coffee must carry a warning label because it may cause cancer, and the jury did not claim that the pesticide caused Johnson's cancer, rather that it likely substantially contributed to it. The company claims the product is safe if used according to directions.
On Monday, Bayer's market value plunged by $11.4 billion following the verdict that surprised investors, the Chicago Tribune reports. Bayer's shares dropped as much as 12 percent. Investors fear that the trial was a test of the evidence against Monsanto for thousands of other claims being made against Roundup.

It all begins with a young woman by the name of Anna, whom of which married into a man's family for the wealth. She did not care for the least bit for the man, but the man cared with all his heart. One dark day, while the man was enjoying the company of his dear wife, Anna asked if he would like some champagne. He agreed with a smile, and the young lady went to pour two glasses full. A shift in her eyes flares, and she drops something within her husband's clear drink. It foams for a second then settles. Anna brings the tainted drink to her love, then takes her own. They have a small toast to their marriage, then drink.. A small few seconds after the man drinks, he is overcome by a seizure. His body jerks around in horrible positions, all the while making loud snapping sounds. Anna watches coldly as her husband falls to the floor, not without smashing his head against the table. Head coated in blood, body still trembling, a small whisper is heard from Anna- "Don't worry.. Its all for the best.."
A few years pass by. Anna had gained her deceased husband's money and home, and also had re-married to an old friend named Horus. She cared for this man, unlike her previous husband, and they had a wonderful relationship with each other. One day, Horus noticed a cold spot where he was sitting. Anna didn't know what to say about it. She got up and walked to her love to see what it was he was talking about. A force suddenly tosses her across the room, slamming her body into the wall. She slowly gets up and shakily looks to her husband, whom is now having a seizure. Anna gasps and goes to help Horus, but is flung away again by the force. She flies back, and feels her spine being torn as she hits the corner of the fireplace. The woman looks helplessly to Horus, whom is out cold, but still is jerking around horribly.. As if he was being strangled. A voice echoes.. How could you, Anna.. Anna's eyes open wide. She coughs up some blood then speaks, "WY..what?" Horus begins to float before her eyes, and a demonic figure appears behind him. The demon has a familiar gash in its head.. It oozes liquid over its face. Anna's eyes flutter as she realizes whom this is.. I gave you my heart.. only to be betrayed? You don't know how bad it hurts.. The demon rases Horus by the back of his neck and stretches out his other arm and looks at Anna in sorrow. It brings its claw down into the body of Horus, penetrating his organs and ripping through his soul. Blood begins to rain across the room, at the sight of which, Anna faints. She awakens a time later, woozy from the loss of blood, and shocked from the loss of the ability to move her legs. the woman looks back to see her legs crumpled in a shape behind her, and in front of her to see her dead husband Horus, complete with a gaping hole where his chest should be. She cries softly, wishing she had never left the young man from before, and wishing she had cared for him as he did for her.


A yeast starter was made on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 for the Wyeast London Ale yeast with 550 mL of water, 3 oz of Light LME, and 1/2 tsp yeast nutrient. Some friends came over during brewing that made the brew day even more fun. This batch is interesting because it has the most hops I've ever used in a recipe and the least variety of grains. There was about a 3 inch layer of hops above the false bottom that were a nice filter in the kettle. The fugggle hops were added at flame out and steeped for 15 mintues before starting to chill. The ambient temperature for fermentation is 70 F in the basement and the fermenter is in a cold water bath with some ice bottles to bring the temperature down to the lower 60's. A plastic bucket was used as the primary fermenter because the glass carboy is full at the moment. A partially covered lid was used to control evaporation during the boil but the 7oz of whole hops really sucked up a lot of liquid and there was just enough to get 5 gallons in the fermenter.
After two weeks in the plastic primary fermenter the Sister Star of the Sun was racked into a 5-gallon secondary fermenter. There was about 1 quart extra that wouldn't fit in the secondary so I just dumped it. Ambient temperatures in the basement are now around 65 F.
After more than a month in the secondary fermenter the Sister Star of the Sun was racked into a 5-gallon keg. There was extra beer that did not fit into the keg so I filled half of a 1L soda bottle and carbonated with my new carbonator cap. The keg is going straight into the kegerator at 40 F to carbonate at 12 PSI.
This batch of Sister Star of the Sun is just now carbonated with good head and appears very light in color. It has a nice balanced taste with smooth hop bitterness and light malt sweetness. There is some great hop aroma but not as strong as a typical IPA. Overall a really easy drinking pale ale.

Wednesday, January 23, 2013 7:22 AM
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23: New Finance Minister Bob Richards has confirmed my strategic overview of Bermuda's national finances.
Government spending is trending downwards. It will continue to trend down during Bob Richard's first stint as Finance Minister.
But that is just the opener. In his first ministerial presentation, the new Finance Minister unveiled an ugly monster.
Finance Minister Bob Richards reported that Government's personnel costs were 46.8 per cent of Government expenditure. That is the monster.
The new Finance Minister said: "The total revenue raised… for fiscal 2011/12 was approximately $914.2 million… Current expenses for fiscal 2011/12 were $1.246 billion…"
$583 million is 46.8 per cent of $1,246 million. This $583 million in personnel costs should be added to the $96 million required for 2011/12's Debt Service Costs [DSC]. The combination is $679 million.
That $679 million in personnel + DSC comes out of Government's revenue of $914 million. In 2011/12 that left only $235 million for "everything else".
But Government spent a lot more than $235 million on "everything else". In 2011/12 Government borrowed and spent a total $567 million on "everything else".
For eight consecutive years, since 2004, the previous regime had been borrowing-to-spend on "everything else". That process caused DSC to keep climbing.
From 1968 until 2004, the combination of Personnel Costs and Debt Service Costs had always been kept below fifty per cent of total Government revenue.
This meant that more than $0.50 out of every revenue dollar went back out on Government services.
That changed. Between 2004 and 2012, the percentage spent on personnel and debt rocketed to seventy-four percent. By 2012, only $0.26 was going back out on Government services.
Between 1968 and 2003, Government did not borrow-to-spend. In 2003, Government ran a small surplus. For the first time, in 2004, Government borrowed two cents out of every dollar that it was spending.
Between 2004 and 2012, that borrowing-to-spend rocketed up from two cents to twenty-six cents. That's right! By 2012, out of every $1.00 that Government spent, Government was borrowing $0.26.
Even with Bob Richards and the OBA in charge, even with reduced spending, the momentum of eight consecutive years of financial mismanagement still forces Bob to borrow $0.18 out of every $1.00 that will be spent in order to finish off Financial Year [2012/13].
Consider the monster revealing numbers in the chart below left.
Solution? Can't cut DSC. But DSC must stop rising. Still must spend on "everything else" like police, prisons, road maintenance, etc… However it is done, Government's exceptionally high personnel costs must come down. DSC must stop rising.
Government's monster problem is its $583 million in personnel costs. Savings made from personnel cost cuts must go straight to operational costs, materials, and services. And even here, savings must be made.
Hairpin turn
The problem is as obvious as a car running too fast down a hill with a hairpin turn at the bottom. Hit brakes. Slow down. Get control. Braking means cutting costs. The only major cost that can be cut is personnel cost.
How big a cut? Already three years too far downhill, start thinking about a 25 per cent cut in overall personnel costs. That takes out $140 million. Transfer that $140 million to services etc… Simultaneously cut back on the need to borrow-to-spend $140 million in this ninth year of this eight year long borrow-to-spend spiral.
Look into next year, 2013/14. With Bob forced to borrow at least another $175 million, in 2013/14, DSC will climb at least another $15 million to reach $130 million.
Without cuts in and for 2013/14, the combination will increase to $713 million [$583m personnel costs (after restoring PSSF payments) + $115m as DSC for 2012/13 and beyond + $15m DSC added for 2013/14 and beyond].
In Bermuda's still declining economy, this new Government cannot defy economics and raise taxes to push Government's actual 2013/14 revenue materially past $900 million.
In 2010/11, in Bermuda's declining economy, unwisely, the previous Government tried a tax increase. The predictable and powerful negative consequence hit Bermuda's economy in 2011/12. It still affects Bermuda in 2013.
Until Bermuda's economy grows and creates new and additional real tax revenue, the brakes will have to go on and stay on. It's hit brakes or hit the wall!
Cut personnel costs.
% of Revenue
74.2% (*)
75.9%(**)(***)
(*) All 'Government' personnel received an average 1.5% pay increase in August 2011.
(**) The $880m revenue is the Minister's projection for 2012/13.
(***) The apparent pay reduction is a result of the one-time non-payment into the Public Service Superannuation Fund (PSSF).

Microsoft Plays for IoT with Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi
February 2, 2015 11:51 by Paul Roberts
Microsoft moved to make Windows 10 a player in the Internet of Things, announcing support for Raspberry Pi 2 on Monday.
In-brief: Microsoft is making good on promises that its next version of Windows will be a player on the Internet of Things, announcing support for Raspberry Pi 2.
Microsoft has already made it clear that it plans to break the mold with the next major version of its signature operating system, Windows 10. The company claims that its latest version of Windows will be a radical departure: built for a "mobile-first, cloud-first world."
After the debacles of both Windows Vista and Windows 8, the Redmond Washington company has promised that Windows 10 will be designed for the future: running on everything from datacenter servers to the Internet of Things.
On Monday, Microsoft doubled-down on that promise, announcing that Windows 10 will support Raspberry Pi 2, the latest version of the $35 minicomputer that is popular with hobbyists and device makers.
"We see the Maker community as an amazing source of innovation for smart, connected devices that represent the very foundation of the next wave of computing," wrote Kevin Dallas, the General Manager of Microsoft's Windows IoT Group. "We're excited to be a part of this community."
Microsoft said Windows 10 will be free for the Raspberry Pi developer community through the Microsoft Windows Developer Program for IoT.
Raspberry Pi is one of the more popular development platforms for connected devices and combines a system on chip with basic video and audio outputs and onboard storage provided with miniSD cards.
Version 2 represents a big step up in the power and capabilities of Raspberry Pi boards from the earlier Model B boards. Raspberry Pi 2 will feature a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU that boosts performance by roughly six times, and 1 GB of RAM, doubling the RAM of prior boards. They will support the standard complement of Linux flavors. On the IoT front, they will support Snappy Ubuntu Core in addition to Windows 10.
"Raspberry Pi has quickly become one of the Maker community's favorite platforms because their highly-capable, low-cost boards and compute modules enable developers to bring their vision to life," Dallas wrote. "Raspberry Pi 2 is a surprisingly powerful device that opens up the world of computing and programing to a huge range of people and skill levels."

December's meeting was framed around the idea of "practicing creativity" — creative processes, personal creative routines, "trigger moments," and problem-solving for the inevitable moments of creative anxiety.
As a group, we also generated a set of "oblique strategy cards" for generating ideas or getting through certain process stages. The original set of oblique strategies were developed by Brian Eno & Peter Schmidt and are generally geared towards musicians. Each card contained an aphorism intended to help artists break creative blocks by encouraging lateral thinking. When faced with a creative block, the user was to draw a card and apply the aphorism to the problem at hand.
Relate — or contrast — a random sentence from a book to your work.


The second volume in The Flax of Dream tetralogy.
Dandelion Days was rewritten in 1930, and it is the text of this edition that has been used in all subsequent reprints. The publisher's blurb for this edition states: 'Like The Beautiful Years, which was republished in 1929, this is an entirely new version of one of Mr Williamson's earlier novels. It is, in fact, a new novel, as can be judged from the author's remark in his dedication, that "only twenty-seven of the original sentences remain". Dandelion Days is the second book of a series of four, of which The Beautiful Years is the first, and The Pathway – which made Mr Williamson famous throughout Europe and America – the last. It continues the story of Willie Maddison, whose childhood was the subject of The Beautiful Years. Here is the lovely downland country seen through the eyes of a boy whose experiences start him on the lonely path of poet and dreamer; his love and agony over Elsie Norman; his great friendship and sense of fun and adventure with Jack and others of "The Owl Club"; his mental stress and struggle against the tyranny of distasteful learning – in fact Willie Maddison is shown in process of being formed into the man whose ragic and ironic story ends with The Pathway. Dandelion Days is a book full of beauty and humour.

===========

*plotting in the terminal*

what is it?
-----------

bashplotlib is a python package and command line tool for making basic
plots in the terminal. It's a quick way to visualize data when you don't
have a GUI. It's written in pure python and can quickly be installed
anywhere using pip.

installation
------------

install with pip
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

    $ pip install bashplotlib

install from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

    $ git clone git@github.com:glamp/bashplotlib.git
    $ cd bashplotlib
    $ python setup.py install

Either method will install the bashplotlib python package and will also
add hist and scatter to your python scripts folder. This folder should
be on your path (add it if it's not).

features
--------

-  quick plotting from the command line
-  customize the color, size, title, and shape of plots
-  pipe data into plots with stdin

usage
-----

command line
~~~~~~~~~~~~

hist takes input from either stdin or specified using the -f parameter.
Input should be a single column of numbers. scatter takes x and y
coordinates as input form either a comma delimited file using -f or from
2 different files using -x and -y.

in python
~~~~~~~~~

If you want to use bashplotlib from python, just import histogram and
scatterplot.

::

    from bashplotlib.scatterplot import plot_scatter

::

    from bashplotlib.histogram import plot_hist

examples
--------

::

    $ scatter --file data/texas.txt --pch .

::

    $ hist --file data/exp.txt

::

    $ scatter -x data/x_test.txt -y data/y_test.txt

todo
----

-  sideways numbers for x-axis of histograms
-  colors for individual points
-  line charts
-  trendlines


Hi there, it's Jana here again.
This time I have for you a layout using the wonderful collection Good Vibes.
As I said previously, I mostly do pocket scrapbooking but from time to time I long to do something a bit different. And sometimes I am even so brave as to try a layout. I have a big respect for 12x12 pages, so much space to work with! However, layouts sized 8.5x11 inch have become my favourite. I have a special album for them which I devote to photos of those moments when our children are together.
At first I wanted to go for white cardstock as a background but then decided to challenge myself with some colourful (ehm) option. So I went for grey (haha). This actual layout uses precisely one piece of paper. The grey one and its other yellow side which I cut into a few stripes to make it a bit more interesting.
And added some hand stitching.
As I mentioned before, I am not keen on embellishments so I just added a little something here and there. But I just HAD to use that beautiful yellow button. Don't you just love them?
It is a very clean and simple layout but the photos just say it all, don't they?

The filter trolley ClearUp cleans cooling lubricants of processing machines and frees them of tramp oil. Thus, the service life of cooling lubricants is significantly increased. In addition, it can also be used for the draining of machine tanks.
The very simple commissioning and handling as well as the compact and mobile design make the filter trolley a flexible and effective device for the preparation of cooling lubricants.
The contaminated emulsion is pumped from the machine tank to the ClearUp (❶). In the integrated inclined filter particles and contaminants are separated using a filter fleece. The filtered emulsion flows to the degreasing tank (❷), in which an integrated oil skimmer (❸) separates floating tramp oil. Subsequently, the cleaned emulsion flows back to the machine tank (❹).
The filter trolley ClearUp 205 is equipped with an inclined filter for the particle separation as well as an oil skimmer for the tramp oil separation. Optionally a float and a suction lance can be integrated.


The syllabus contains important information from Marymount, the Literature and Languages Department, and me. The syllabus is our course contract.
This schedule is our most updated version. Throughout the semester, I will link materials for in-class activities, homework, and assignments to the schedule.
