Remembering anti-caste social reformer Savitri Bai Phule on her birth anniversary
Published on: January 4, 2019
Today marks the 188th birth anniversary of Savitri Bai Phule regarded as an icon in the field of education for girls in India. Born in 1831 in Naigaon, Maharashtra, she was married off to Jyothi Rao Phule at the age of 9.
Jyothiba taught her at home and later on the couple began to teach other girls for which they faced stiff opposition from the dominant castes of the Hindu Society because learning was a taboo for women then. The couple began their first school with support from Fatima Sheikh and her brother Usman Sheikh who gave them a place to stay.
Thus the first school for girls was started in their home and Savitri Bai was its first teacher. Apart from teaching she fought against other social evils such as Sati, Child marriages, infanticide, killing widows (Sati) and caste based discrimination.
The home of Jyothiba and Savitri Bai was not just for learning but also a refuge for rape survivors, sexually exploited widows, unwanted babies born out of wedlock and abandoned and so on.
Savitri Bai Phule is among the pioneers who fought patriarchy and set a trial for other men and women who are continuing their fight against the patriarchal structure that is deeply rooted in our society.
Jyotiba and Savitri Bai together started 18 schools, a care centre for pregnant rape victims called "Balhatya Pratibandhak Griha" which helped the women deliver their children.
She wrote many poems on caste based discrimination asking the people to educate themselves as that is the only way to fight the caste oppression.
She died on 10th March 1897 after contracting plague from one of the patients she was taking care of in the clinic set up by Yashwant her adopted son.
The India Post has honoured Savitri Bai Phule by releasing a postage stamp in her name on 10th March 1998, marking her birth centenary.
The University of Pune has been re named to Savitri Bai Phule University in 2015. And Google, the search engine has dedicated their google doodle to her in 2017.

It has been said, that in today's online, social, digital world, if you are in a job search and don't have a LinkedIn profile – you don't exist. LinkedIn is critical. Many hiring managers and recruiters use only LinkedIn and networking to find potential job candidates. LinkedIn is complex. Here, we will just skim the surface of what you need to know to establish a presence on this critical platform.
Signing up for LinkedIn is easy and free. Simply go to LinkedIn.com and click on Sign Up. Enter your name and a valid email address (an email verification will be sent to the address you provide) and you're all set! Alternatively, you can also sign up using your Facebook account.
Having a photo is critical to your success with LinkedIn. Imagine if someone knocked on your door while wearing a paper bag over their head. Would you answer the door? Probably not. That is basically the same as not having a photo on your profile. People want to see that you're a real human being.
LinkedIn is not Facebook! Your photo doesn't have to be a professionally taken photo, but it should be professional in nature. Remember, this is the first thing potential employers, clients and colleagues will see and represents the professional face of you. Act accordingly!
The headline is the second thing people see that impacts their immediate impression of you. It also states the critical information - Your key experiences with a flavor of what you want to be. Insert keywords that will help you stand out in the position you are targeting. Overused as the analogy may be, imagine your profile is an iceberg. The headline is just the tip. How will you create enough interest to make them read the rest?
The summary is one of the most important and often underutilized sections. This is your chance to shine and show off your accomplishments and goals, as well as your skills set. It should read like a conversation. Don't write incomplete sentences or in the third person. This is also your chance to add a hint of your personality. You can be a little creative here, but in a professional way. Again, make sure you use plenty of relevant keywords to help you show up in searches.
You do not have to enter the full date under your positions. This is flexible and up to you. Only the year is required. Additionally, dates are not required for education. It is important that you add a description for each position you've held. However, this should not be a copy/paste from your resume. Gear it towards the job you want, not the job you had.
Lastly, add any other relevant information that you feel adds to your value and where you want to be professionally. Examples: Volunteer experience, publications, etc.
Connections are key! In the beginning, it will be difficult to gain connections. And until you have a solid group of connections, it will be difficult to utilize LinkedIn to its full potential. Start by finding your friends and past colleagues, regardless of the country they are in – people who you know will be happy to add you. This will begin the process of growing your network. But keep in mind as you go – there should be a healthy balance between quality and quantity when it comes to your connections.
Another tip to help grow your network – join relevant groups to your target industry. You can also connect other accounts to your LinkedIn account so you can see, of those contacts, who is on LinkedIn as well that you may wish to connect with.
Now is the time to strategize and network. LinkedIn is great for searching and following companies, learning who works there now and who has moved on, finding recruiters, hiring managers and CEOs. The key thing to understand is that your "network" consists of your 1st, 2nd and 3rd connections as well as members in shared groups.
LinkedIn should be treated differently from your resume. It is not an online copy of your resume. Think of your LinkedIn profile as the face of where you want to be and develop it accordingly. LinkedIn is future facing, your resume is your past.
Remember, in today's competitive job market, you need to do all you can to get in front of the people hiring. LinkedIn has over 450 million users – you need to be one of them.

Q: Creating and accessing a global constant in AngularJS Does anyone know the best way to create and access a global constant is AngularJS?
I want to be able to doe something like:
app.constant('baseURL','http://www.baseurl.com');

and access it from any factory or controller.

A: Going for constant would be one of the better way as it has ability that we can access it inside the config level or in provider, so that we can take use of them to carry the config level settings.
For usage you could inject the same way as we do inject for service/factory or consider any dependency.
For making it more better you could use Object inside the your app.constant, so that it can carry multiple settings in it.
Constant
app.constant('configSettings', {
   'baseUrl': 'http://www.baseurl.com',
   'someElseSetting': 'settingValue'
   //other setting will also be there.
});

Controller
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, configSettings){
   //console.log(configSettings.baseUrl);
   //you could use base URL here
});

Sometimes it take cries in the night to interrupt a long held silence.
Nobody said it would be easy. She just didn't expect it'd be this hard. The clock ticks the hours, the minutes, the seconds, and with each passing minute of daylight, she sighs deeply and braces for the screams.
Her husband's arrival carries with it simultaneous relief and anguish for she knows he, too, fears the minutes, the hours, the untold time that will pass tonight, and the screams that will ensue.
She smiles at her child and looks into his big blue eyes, hoping for some kind of psychic connection, but it's too late. The screams have begun. The routine is set, and now she and her husband will take turns holding their bundle of joy, the one who screams at ghosts they cannot see, whose eyes are focused on objects in a faraway distance, and whose body stiffens and contracts and with each passing breath seems to release an ever louder scream than the last time.
And then there is silence.
A golden hour that lasts sixty to ninety seconds until the creak of the hardwood floors echoes too loudly and a sigh of relief proves to be an unwelcome interlude. Let the screams begin. One minute. Two minutes. There, there now. Shhh.
"Forget waterboarding," the woman tells her husband while swaying to imaginary music. It's now 9pm, and the three hours of stop-start crying just might end soon. But it's more likely that it'll continue for another three hours. Or more. Her swaddled child watches the bedroom fan with rapt attention. "Send those terrorist prisoners a recording of this night – of all of these nights – and I assure you, they'll confess all their secrets."
"Nah," her husband replies. "Hasn't worked for me. I still keep a few secrets from you." He smiles as he kisses her on the forehead, then takes his turn to change his crying son's diaper, regardless of whether or not it's dirty. It's all part of the routine.
"Oh really," she teases, settling into the nursery room glider. "But perhaps it's only because you know there's an end, and I'll offer relief from the torture. Prisoners would have no relief, but you can take a break downstairs." Suddenly she remembers the bowl of ice cream sitting in the kitchen. It's likely melted by now, a delicious dessert for the cat to enjoy.
He yawns and looks at his wife kindly, the sound of their baby's cries serve as background music to their evening together. "You should get some sleep; I'll take this shift."
She stretches her arms and considers the idea, but smiles back. "That's OK, I'm comfy right here. You can keep me company sharing your secrets." Confessions are easiest in the dark. Even the Catholic Church knows that.
"Ah yes, I'm sure you would like that wouldn't you." He demonstrates the recommended "S" techniques like a pro. "Shhhh…." He begins, then sways back and forth. When there is no end to this round of crying, he gently lays the baby down beside a receiving blanket, folds the corners deftly, and then with the baby's arms tucked close to his body, he swaddles the blanket around him, then cradles the crying cocoon in his arms.
"How do you do that?" she asks softly. The glow of the moon casts a soft light on the man and his baby.
"Do what? Swaddle?" he asks. He's now holding his son in the "football hold," a move that scares his wife since its name is far too accurate. Then again, she was never very athletic.
"No, the patience… thing." She signs and looks up at the dark ceiling. "You're able to keep your cool, even when the screams are their loudest. For me, that football hold would be too tempting." She looks out the window.
"Shhh.. don't say that," he whispers. The baby is catching his breath as his dad's rhythmic dance seems to be working.
"What?" she looks at him, her voice raised a bit. "I'm just confessing. Like those prisoners. You can't say you haven't felt it too."
"No, not really," he says. After a long pause he adds, "You're home with him all day; I understand."
"I suppose," she sighs. "But the truth is, during the day, he's so sweet, it's only at night that the crying starts."
"Yes, when I get home. I know."
"And yet it doesn't bother you?"
"Of course it bothers me," he looks at her with crinkled brow. "What makes you think it doesn't?"
"Oh, I dunno," she shrugs. "Maybe I'm just jealous. You're the better parent, I can tell already."
"Hush," he looks at her. "Please stop saying things like that. You're an awesome mom." The baby's cries begin again, coupled with a twist of his neck into his father's shoulder. "In fact, he needs you more than he needs me."
He hands the child to his wife and squats before the glider to watch as she positions the baby to her breast to feed.
"Ah yes," she smiles, "Of course, I've got the upper hand. I've got the milk."
"Hey now, don't knock it. That's a gift," he stands up and walks to the changing table, readjusting items, checking the moisture of the wipes, adding more diapers to the tall stacks.
"I know, I know," she sighs. "I probably take this parenting thing for granted. But you don't. And that's what makes you the better parent."
"There's a reason for that," he says softly.
"Hmm?" She holds her baby in a seated position, his eyes closed, a satisfied smile between his chubby cheeks. She taps his back lightly waiting for a burp.
"I said, there's a reason I don't take this for granted."
She looks up. Her husband is standing above her, looking down with anguish in his eyes.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"Confession time?" he asks. Despite the lack of screams, he suddenly seems coerced into sharing.
"Sure," she replies. "I'm listening."
The man takes the burp cloth from his wife's hand and places it on his right shoulder, picks the baby up by his armpits. Resting his son against his shoulder and patting firmly, he turns away and says, "He's not my first."
"What do you mean?" she asks. The baby burps, ushering in a new round of crying.
His voice is irritated now. "I mean, he's not. My. First. I had a girlfriend. When I was 18. She got pregnant. We agreed we were too young to – "
"You never told me this –"
"I know. I'm telling you now," he shakes his head and turns away, speaking louder to muffle the baby's cries. "Anyway, it was a long, long time ago. We were kids. I was heading off to college, and she wanted us to go our separate ways. No strings attached." He's swaying and shushing, and offering his son a look at the moon outside the window.
"So did she keep the baby? Or put it up for adoption? Or did she have an abortion…. What?"
"I have no idea." He looks at his son avoiding eye contact with his wife.
"No idea?! How can you not know what happened to your own child?" Now she's the one raising her voice.
"I didn't want to know, OK? I know, I was selfish. I was 18 for cripe's sake. It was a different chapter in my life. We went our separate ways, and that's that." He's shushing his son with effort, and she sees his eyes glisten in the moonlight. The baby quiets a bit, catching his breath and closing his eyes between sighs.
She stands up and softens her voice, as she pets her baby's hair and rests her head on her husband's firm shoulder. "It's OK. I understand," she whispers. "But if you wanted to know, it'd be easy to find her… there's Facebook and Google, and…"
"I've tried all that."
"You have? When?"
"It doesn't matter. I had no luck finding her. She had the good fortune of being named "Smith" if you can believe it." He chuckles quietly.
His wife isn't sure what to believe.
"Anyway, I tried to find her, and when it didn't pan out, I decided, case closed. It's in the past, and it should stay there. Nobody knew besides me and her, and --"
"But you could have a teenager out there – your own flesh and blood," she cries in a loud whisper.
Her husband's eyes widen , and he glances to the child in his arms, a reminder that they must match his volume when talking.
She takes a deep breath and quietly asks, "Don't you want to know him – or her? And what about your parents? They could have another grandchild out there!"
The baby shudders with a sigh, and his head limps to one side. He startles himself awake, and for a moment looks through his parents eyes, then closes his own eyes into a peaceful sleep.
"I've got my own flesh and blood right here," he whispers and tiptoes carefully toward the crib.
She knows better than to disturb this moment, the quiet seconds when the endless routine of rocking, swaying and shushing pay off, and their son will sleep in his crib for hours at a time. But first, he must be placed on his mattress just so.
The man achieves the task with quiet ease and slowly, quietly, they creep to the master bedroom.
"It's late," he tells his wife before she can start further conversation. "We can talk more about it in the morning." He kisses her on the forehead, her cue to let it lie, and so she quietly goes about the bedtime routine beside him, and together they climb into bed, kiss each other good-night, and, without saying a word, fall asleep.
The baby's cry wakens the new mother as light streams in through the window. Time for the morning feeding. She moves in a half-awake state and picks up her child in a hypnotic trance – a routine she's now familiar with. As the baby latches on, then suckles, she looks at him and smiles and considers further sleep. She closes her eyes and nods her head, catching herself when she hears a sound at the doorway. She turns to see her husband standing there, smiling.
"Oh, you scared me," she whispers.
"Shh..." he walks toward her and kneels before the glider. "I like to watch you feed him. It's beautiful."
She switches her baby to the other breast. "Yes, but honey, about last night – "
He puts a finger to her lips and looks directly into her eyes. "Shh… please. It's morning now. Let's leave the confessions in the dark, OK?"
Light is streaming into the room, and she looks at her husband, takes a deep breath, then nods.
"OK," she says, knowing that another round of screams will likely take place this evening. "OK, fine."
Her husband breathes a sigh of relief and smiles. He makes brief eye contact with his wife, then looks down. "Just look at him," he says. "Isn't he perfect?"
And together they admire their firstborn child.

Q: How to ensure security in Stripe webhooks? I would be creating Stripe web hooks and want to know how to ensure security such that only Stripe can access my URL?
I am using Laravel with the Stripe library.

A: Actually you can limit the access to your webhooks only to the Stripe IPs. That's why Stripe have a list of webhooks ips updated.
https://stripe.com/docs/ips
I just did it for a project using Laravel and Stripe. You can do something like:
//Only accept connections from stripe ips.

    //Save stripe info for 24 hours for performance.
    $stripe_webhooks_ips = Cache::remember('stripe_webhooks_ips', 1440, function()
    {
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://stripe.com/files/ips/ips_webhooks.json');
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

        $json_result = json_decode($result,true);

        return $json_result['WEBHOOKS'];
    });

    if(in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],$stripe_webhooks_ips)) {
        //Your Code Here.
    }

About the security of the remote_addr variable:
Is it safe to trust $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']?
Remember to take extra measures to get the origin ip if you are behind a proxy or a CDN service like Cloudfare, etc.

A: Stripe signs the events it sends to you, so you can validate the signature to check Stripe was the sender.
The Stripe libraries will handle this for you, including replay attack prevention. See the docs at https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/signatures. There is a PHP example.
Idempotency is a separate matter. You could receive events more than once, which is your problem to deal with (by tracking event IDs). This is mentioned on this page: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/best-practices.

A: As noted in the documentation:

If security is a concern, or if it's important to confirm that Stripe sent the webhook, you should only use the ID sent in your webhook and should request the remaining details from the Stripe API directly. We also advise you to guard against replay-attacks by recording which events you receive, and never processing events twice.

In other words, there's no way to confirm where a request came from. As such, don't trust any of its data, except for the id of any given item. You then contact the Stripe API yourself, asking for the item with the given id. This way you know where you're getting your data from, and the webhook call essentially just becomes a notification letting you know you should check in with the API.

\section{Introduction}
 Sparse multiple kernel learning (MKL; see~\cite{LanCriBarGhaJor04,MicPon05,BacLanJor04}) is often outperformed by the simple uniformly-weighted MKL
 in terms of accuracy~\cite{Cor09,KloBreSonLasMulZie10}. However the sparsity offered by the sparse MKL is
 helpful in understanding which feature is useful and can also save a lot
of computation in practice. In this paper we investigate this trade-off
 between the sparsity and accuracy using an elastic-net type
 regularization term which is a smooth interpolation between the
  sparse ($\ell_1$-) MKL and the uniformly-weighted MKL. In addition,
 we extend the recently proposed SpicyMKL algorithm~\cite{SuzTom09} for efficient
 optimization in  the proposed elastic-net regularized MKL
 framework. Based on real and  simulated MKL problems with more than
 1000 kernels, we show that:
\begin{enumerate}
 \item Sparse MKL indeed suffers  from poor accuracy when
       the  number of samples is small.
 \item As the  number of samples grows larger, the  difference in the accuracy
       between sparse  MKL and uniformly-weighted  MKL becomes smaller.
 \item Often the best accuracy is obtained in between the sparse and
       uniformly-weighted MKL.
This can be explained by the dependence among candidate kernels having
      neighboring kernel parameter values.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Method}
Let us assume that we are provided with $M$ reproducing kernel Hilbert
spaces (RKHSs) equipped with kernel functions $k_m$:
$\mathcal{X}\times\mathcal{X}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$
$(m=1,\ldots,M)$ and the task is to learn a classifier from $N$ training
examples $\{(x_i,y_i)\}_{i=1}^N$, where  $x_i\in\mathcal{X}$ and
$y_i\in\{-1,+1\}$ ($i=1,\ldots,N$).
We formulate this problem into the following minimization problem:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:functional-problem}
 \mathop{\rm minimize}_{\substack{f_m\in\mathcal{H}_m\\(m=1,\ldots,M),\\ b\in\mathbb{R}}}\quad &\sum_{i=1}^N\ell\Bigl(\sum_{m=1}^mf_m(x_i)+b,y_i\Bigr)+C\sum_{m=1}^M\Bigl((1-\lambda)\|f_m\|_{\mathcal{H}_m}+\frac{\lambda}{2}\|f_m\|_{\mathcal{H}_m}^2\Bigr),
\end{align}
where in the first term, $f_m$ is a member of the $m$-th RKHS
$\mathcal{H}_m$, $b$ is a bias term, and $\ell$ is a loss function; in
this paper we use the logistic loss function.
 The second term is a
regularization term and is a mixture of $\ell_1$- and $\ell_2$-
regularization terms. The constant $C$ ($>0$) determines the overall trade-off
between the loss term and the regularization terms.
Here the first regularization term is the linear sum of
RKHS norms, which is known to make only few $f_m$'s non-zero (i.e.,
sparse, see \cite{Tib96,YuaLin06,Bac08}); the second regularization term is the squared
sum of RKHS norms.  The two regularization terms are balanced by the
constant $\lambda$ ($0\leq\lambda\leq 1$); $\lambda=0$
corresponds to sparse ($\ell_1$-) MKL and $\lambda=1$ corresponds to
uniformly-weighted MKL.

Due to the representer theorem (see~\cite{SchSmo02}), the solution of
the above minimization problem \eqref{eq:functional-problem} takes the form
$f_m(x)=\sum_{i=1}^Nk_m(x,x_i)\alpha_{i,m}$ ($m=1,\ldots,M$); therefore
we can equivalently solve the following finite-dimensional minimization problem:
\begin{align}
\label{eq:problem}
 \mathop{\rm minimize}_{\substack{
\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m\in\mathbb{R}^{N}\\(m=1,\ldots,M),\\b\in\mathbb{R}} }\quad&L\Bigl(\sum_{m=1}^M\boldsymbol{K}_m\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m+b\bm{1}\Bigr)+C\sum_{m=1}^M\Bigl((1-\lambda)\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m\|_{\boldsymbol{K}_m}+\frac{\lambda}{2}\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m\|_{\boldsymbol{K}_m}^2\Bigr),
\end{align}
where $\boldsymbol{K}_m\in\mathbb{R}^{N\times N}$ is the $m$-th Gram matrix, $\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m=(\alpha_{1,m},\ldots,\alpha_{N,m}){}^\top$ is the
weight vector for the $m$-th kernel, and
$\bm{1}\in\mathbb{R}^{N}$ is a vector of all one; in addition,
$L(\boldsymbol{z})=\sum_{i=1}^n\ell(z_i,y_i)$ .
Moreover, we define $\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m\|_{\boldsymbol{K}_m}=\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m{}^\top\boldsymbol{K}_m\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m}$.

The minimization problem \eqref{eq:functional-problem} is connected to the
commonly used ``{\em learning the kernel-weights}'' formulation of MKL
in the following way. First let us define
$g(x)=(1-\lambda)\sqrt{x}+\frac{\lambda}{2}x$ for $x\geq 0$ and
$g(x)=-\infty$ for $x<0$. Since $g$ is a concave function, it can be
linearly upper-bounded as $g(x)\leq xy-g^\ast(y)$, where $g^\ast(y)$ is
the concave conjugate of $g(x)$. Thus substituting
$x=\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m\|_{\boldsymbol{K}_m}^2$ and $y=\frac{1}{2\beta_m}$ for $m=1,\ldots,M$
in \Eqref{eq:problem}, we have:
\begin{align*}
\mathop{\rm minimize}_{\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m,b,\beta_m}\quad
 &L\Bigl(\sum_{m=1}^M\boldsymbol{K}_m\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m+b\bm{1}\Bigr)+C\sum_{m=1}^M\Bigl(\frac{\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m\|_{\boldsymbol{K}_m}^2}{2\beta_m}-g^\ast\Bigl(\frac{1}{2\beta_m}\Bigr)\Bigr),
\intertext{where}
g^\ast\Bigl(\frac{1}{2\beta_m}\Bigr)&=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(1-\lambda)^2\beta_m}{1-\lambda\beta_m}.
\end{align*}
Minimizing the above expression wrt $\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m$
{\em while keeping the loss term unchanged} (i.e.,
$\sum_{m=1}^M\boldsymbol{K}_m\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m=\boldsymbol{z}$ for some $\boldsymbol{z}$), we have
$\boldsymbol{\alpha}_m=\beta_m\boldsymbol{\alpha}^\ast$ and finally we can rewrite
\Eqref{eq:problem} as follows:
\begin{align*}
 \mathop{\rm minimize}_{\boldsymbol{\alpha}^\ast\in\mathbb{R}^n,b\in\mathbb{R},\boldsymbol{\beta}\in\mathbb{R}^M}&\quad
L\Bigl(\boldsymbol{K}(\boldsymbol{\beta})\boldsymbol{\alpha}^\ast+b\bm{1}\Bigr)+\frac{C}{2}\Bigl({\boldsymbol{\alpha}^\ast}{}^\top\boldsymbol{K}(\boldsymbol{\beta})\boldsymbol{\alpha}^\ast+\sum_{m=1}^M\tilde{g}(\beta_m)\Bigr),
\end{align*}
where $\boldsymbol{K}(\boldsymbol{\beta})=\sum_{m=1}^M\beta_m\boldsymbol{K}_m$ and
$\tilde{g}(\beta_m)=-2g^\ast(1/(2\beta_m))$.
Therefore
\Eqref{eq:problem} is equivalent to learning the decision function with
a combined kernel $\boldsymbol{K}(\boldsymbol{\beta})$ with the Tikhonov regularization on the
kernel weights $\beta_m$. Note that $\tilde{g}(\beta)=\beta$ ($\ell_1$-MKL) if
$\lambda=0$ and $\tilde{g}(\beta)$ approaches the indicator function of the
closed interval $[0,1]$ in the limit $\lambda\rightarrow 1$
(uniformly-weighted MKL). In this paper we call
$\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_m)_{m=1}^M$ a {\em kernel-weight spectrum}.

The regularization in \Eqref{eq:functional-problem} is known as the elastic-net
regularization~\cite{ZouHas05}. In the context of
MKL, Shawe-Taylor~\cite{Sha08} proposed a similar approach that uses the square
of the linear sum of norms in \Eqref{eq:problem}. Both Shawe-Taylor's
and our approach use mixed ($\ell_1$- and $\ell_2$-) regularization on
the {\em weight vector} (or its non-parametric version)  in the hope of curing
the over-sparseness of $\ell_1$-MKL.

 There are alternative approaches that apply non-$\ell_1$-regularization
 on the {\em kernel weights} $\beta_m$. Longworth and
Gales~\cite{LonGal09} used a combination of $\ell_1$-norm constraint and
$\ell_2$-norm penalization on the kernel weights.
Kloft {\it et al.}~\cite{KloBreSonLasMulZie10} proposed to regularize
the $\ell_p$-norm of  the kernel weights (see also \cite{CorMohRos09}).
 Our approach (and \cite{LonGal09}) differ from
\cite{KloBreSonLasMulZie10} in that we can obtain different levels of
{\em sparsity} for all $\lambda<1$ (see bottom row of \Figref{fig:caltech}), whereas for all $p>1$ the resulting kernel-weight spectrum
is dense in \cite{KloBreSonLasMulZie10}. Note also
that uniformly-weighted MKL  ($\varphi=\infty$ in \cite{LonGal09} and $p=\infty$
 in \cite{KloBreSonLasMulZie10}) corresponds to $\lambda=1$ in our
 approach, which may be a possible advantage of our approach.

\section{Results}
\subsection{Real data}
We computed 1,760 kernel functions on 10 binary image classification problems
(between every combinations of ``anchor'', ``ant'', ``cannon'',
``chair'', and ``cup'') from Caltech 101 dataset~\cite{FeiFerPer04}.
The kernel functions were constructed as combinations of the following
four factors in the prepossessing pipeline:
\begin{itemize}
 \item Four types of SIFT features, namely hsvsift (adaptive scale),
       sift (adaptive scale), sift (scale fixed to 4px), sift (scale
       fixed to 8px). We used the implementation by van de Sande {\it et al.}.~\cite{vdSGevSno10}. The local features were sampled uniformly
       (grid) from each input image. We randomly choosed 200 local
       features and assigned visual words to every local features using
       these 200 points as cluster centers.
 \item Local histograms obtained by partitioning the image into
       rectangular cells of the same size in a hierarchical manner;
       i.e., level-0 partitioning has 1 cell (whole image) level-1
       partitioning has 4 cells and level-2 partitioning has 16
       cells. From each cell we computed a kernel function by
       measuring the similarity of the two local feature histograms
       computed in the same cell from two images. In addition, the
       spatial-pyramid kernel~\cite{GraDar07,LazSchPon06}, which
       combines these kernels by exponentially decaying weights, was
       computed. In total, we used 22 kernels (=one level-0 kernel + four
       level-1 kernels + 16 level-2 kernels + one spatial-pyramid
       kernel). See also \cite{GehNow09} for a similar approach.
\item  Two kernel functions (similarity measures). We used the Gaussian
       kernel:
\begin{align*}
 k(q(x),q(x'))&=\exp\Bigl(-\sum_{j=1}^n\frac{(q_j(x)-q_j(x'))^2}{2\gamma^2}\Bigr),
\intertext{for 10 band-width parameters ($\gamma$'s) linearly spaced between
 $0.1$ and $5$ and the $\chi^2$-kernel:}
 k(q(x),q(x'))&=\exp\Bigl(-\gamma^2\sum_{j=1}^n\frac{(q_j(x)-q_j(x'))^2}{(q_j(x)+q_j(x'))}\Bigr)
\end{align*}
for 10 band-width parameters ($\gamma$'s) linearly spaced between $0.1$ and $10$,
       where $q(x),q(x')\in\mathbb{N}_+^n$ are the
       histograms computed in some region of two images $x$ and $x'$.
\end{itemize}
The combination of 4 sift features, 22 spacial regions, 2
kernel functions, and 10 parameters resulted in  1,760 kernel functions
in total.

Figure~\ref{fig:caltech} shows the average classification accuracy and the number
of active kernels obtained at different values of the trade-off parameter
$\lambda$. We can see that sparse MKL ($\lambda=0$) can be significantly
outperformed by simple uniformly-weight MKL ($\lambda=1$) when the number
of samples ($N$) is small. As the number of samples grows the difference
between the two cases decreases. Moreover, the best accuracy is
obtained at more and more sparse solutions as the number of samples
grows larger.

  trade-off parameters $\lambda$ that achieve the highest test accuracy
  are marked by stars.}
  \label{fig:caltech}
 \end{center}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Simulated data}
In order to explain the results from the image-classification dataset in
a simple setting, we generated three toy problems. In the first problem
we placed one Gaussian kernel over each input variable that was
independently sampled from the standard normal distribution. The number
of input variables was 100. We call this setting {\em Feature
selection}. In the second problem we increased the
variety of kernels by introducing 12 kernels with different band-widths on
each input variable. The number of input variables was 10. We call this
setting {\em Feature \& Parameter selection}. In the third
problem, we used the same 12 kernel functions with different band-widths
but {\em jointly} over the same set of 10 input variables. We call this
setting {\em Parameter selection}. The true kernel-weight
spectrum $(\beta_m)_{m=1}^M$ was changed from sparse (only two non-zero
$\beta_m$'s), medium-dense (exponentially decaying spectrum) to dense
(uniform spectrum).

Figure~\ref{fig:sim} shows the test classification accuracy obtained from
training the proposed elastic-net MKL model to nine toy-problems with
different goals and different true kernel-weight spectra. We choose the
best regularization constant $C$ for each plot.
First we can observe that when the goal is to choose a subset of kernels
from {\em independent} data-sources (top row), the best trade-off parameter
$\lambda$ is mostly determined by the true kernel-weight spectrum; i.e.,
small $\lambda$ for sparse and large $\lambda$ for dense spectrum.
 Remarkably the sparse MKL ($\lambda=0$) performs well even when
the number of samples is smaller than that of kernels if the
true kernel-weight spectrum is sparse.
 On the other hand, if we also consider the selection of kernel parameter
through MKL (middle row), the best trade-off parameter $\lambda$ is
often obtained in between zero and one and seems to depend less on the
true kernel-weight spectrum.
This finding seems to be consistent with the observation in \cite{ZouHas05} that
the elastic-net ($0<\lambda<1$) performs well when the input variables
 are linearly dependent because kernels that only differ
in the band-width can have significant dependency to each other.
Furthermore, if we consider the
selection of kernel parameter only (bottom row), the accuracy becomes
almost flat for all $\lambda$ regardless of the true kernel-weight spectrum.
 The behaviour in the Caltech
dataset seems to be most similar to the second column of the second row
(feature \& parameter selection under medium sparsity).

 \begin{center}
  \includegraphics[width=.9\textwidth]{ElasticPlotSurf.eps}
  \caption{Classification accuracy obtained from the simulated datasets. The
  magenta colored curves with stars denote the value of trade-off
  parameters $\lambda$ that yield the highest test accuracy.}
  \label{fig:sim}
 \end{center}
\end{figure}

\section{Summary}
In this paper, we have empirically investigated the trade-off between
sparse and uniformly-weighted MKL using the elastic-net type regularization
term for MKL. The sparsity of the solution is modulated by changing
the trade-off parameter $\lambda$. We consistently found that, (a)
often the uniformly-weighted MKL ($\lambda=1$) outperforms sparse MKL
($\lambda=0$); (b) the difference between the two cases decreases as the
number of samples increases; (c) when the input kernels are independent,
the sparse MKL seems to be favorable if the true kernel-weight spectrum
is not too dense; (d) when the input kernels are linearly dependent (e.g.,
kernels with neighboring parameter values are included), intermediate
$\lambda$ value seems to be favorable. We have also observed that as the
number of samples increases the sparser solution (small $\lambda$) is
preferred. It was also observed (results not shown) that sparser
solution is preferred when the noise in the training labels is small.

Proscenium est un théâtre liégeois créé en  situé rue Souverain-Pont.

Historique
En 1972, Nicole Brahy, André Clérinx et Marcel Van Kerkhoven décident de réunir autour d'eux de jeunes passionnés de théâtre. Afin de rassembler les fonds nécessaires pour monter leur première pièce, ils se font engager comme figurants à l'Opéra Royal de Wallonie.

Pendant près de dix ans, cette nouvelle compagnie va monter de nombreux spectacles et les présenter un peu partout dans la province de Liège. Mais, petit à petit, les comédiens se sentent frustrés de jouer seulement de temps en temps dans diverses salles. Dès lors, la troupe a comme objectif de trouver un lieu attitré afin de jouer ses pièces plusieurs soirs de suite. Après avoir été accueilli par le Théâtre de l'Œil et le Centre Culturel de Chaudfontaine, le Proscenium a une furieuse envie de trouver un lieu où il pourra construire son propre théâtre.

Pendant l'été 1981, la troupe découvre une ancienne salle de vente à louer, au rez-de-chaussée du 28 rue Souverain-Pont. Tous les membres du Proscenium se mettent alors en action pour transformer le lieu en un véritable théâtre.

Depuis lors, le Théâtre Proscenium est donc installé au cœur de Liège, dans sa propre petite salle de 50 places. Chaque saison, de début septembre à fin juin, il propose une reprise et quatre nouveaux spectacles.

De locataire, le Proscenium est devenu propriétaire des lieux. Non seulement du rez-de-chaussée, mais de tout le bâtiment. Cela lui permet d'aménager les étages en espace de répétitions, bureau, salle de réunion et local de rangement des costumes et des accessoires.

Weimer finishes possibly her last work
By John La Porte |
If Dawn Weimer's career as an artist is coming to an end, she will be finishing it in style.
The former Fort Morgan resident was diagnosed with memory loss (Alzheimer's disease and dementia) about five months ago.
"She and I knew last year that something terrible was happening to her brain," said her husband, Tom.
The two grew up in Fort Morgan, graduated from Fort Morgan High School in 1962 and have since lived in Fort Collins and Loveland, where Dawn had studios and did her work.
She has completed almost 130 bronzes in her 17-year-long career. A "Ram Pride" sculpture is on display in Fort Collins on the campus at Colorado State University, Tom's alma mater, and a buffalo is on display at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
Some of her works, including "Mother of the Plains" and a dog sculpture titled "Annie," are on display inside and outside the Fort Morgan library-museum building, and a "Making Tracks" roadrunner, the Morgan Community College mascot, graces the MCC campus.
Dawn completed a sculpture of two rams butting heads, titled "Rocky Mountain Rumble," last week. The sculpture is to be placed at CSU.
"She has labored over this since Dec. 1 last year," Tom said. "One, because she wanted to finish this monument all the while knowing that this would be her last sculpture she would probably ever complete, and two, because she knew all along since last year that her opportunity to sculpt would be cut short sometime in the near future.
"She expressed her desire to finish this monument even if she could only work about two hours at a time and only two to three times per week," he added. "What a trouper!"
The next steps in the process of turning the sculpture into a bronze are always done by other people (mold maker and foundry), and Tom said he can check on the progress through the foundry.
"I feel like I was intimately involved in the sculpting of the rams even though she actually did the sculpting," Tom said. "I was always there to keep her from getting too upset about her confusion at times."
Dawn only got one of the rams signed and marked, Tom said. By the time she had finished the second ram, she could not figure out how to sign and mark it even with his help, so he signed the second ram for her.
"What a legacy she is leaving for herself!" he exclaimed. "I do believe that the sculpting of this monument was a miracle and that God himself did the sculpting."

An extension of the local projection stabilization (LPS) finite element method for convection-diffusion-reaction equations is presented and analyzed, both in the steady-state and the transient setting. In addition to the standard LPS method, a nonlinear crosswind diffusion term is introduced that accounts for the reduction of spurious oscillations. The existence of a solution can be proved and, depending on the choice of the stabilization parameter, also its uniqueness. Error estimates are derived which are supported by numerical studies. These studies demonstrate also the reduction of the spurious oscillations.

Audience Analysis
This encomium, praising New York Fashion Week is one of the most well known events in the fashion industry. I have chosen fashion week to show my audience of inspiring designers as well as many opinionated "Vogue" readers and everyday people who crave high end fashion. It will show the dedication and hard work a designer much out forth in order to make not just a simple outfit but a mesmerizing and breathe taking design. An inspiring designer should be serious about their work and the industry, ones design can and will go along way when recognized. They will acknowledge the designer in his/her masterpiece and hope to soon have that fame and wealth. I ponder that the audience will admire the success of many unique designs and also fashion week. The audience will look up to the designs knowing that the days weeks, months and maybe years that go by, that one day those will be their designs and creations on the catwalk of New York Fashion Week.

Fashion Capital: New York Research Paper
...same way, fashion and body beautification have their own language and can be read as explanation of a person's character as well as personality. Cultural semiotics makes up a significant element of visual rhetoric because of the fact that it can turn simple signs and codes into actual conversations. Every individual possesses unique personality, opinions, and set of beliefs. Moreover, to express identity people use the body as a canvas for projection. According to Elizabeth Wilson: In all societies the body is 'dressed' and everywhere dress and beautification play symbolic, communicative and artistic roles. Dress is always 'unspeakably meaningful.' The earliest forms of 'clothing' seem to have been beautifications such as body painting, ornaments, scarifications (scarring), tattooing, masks and often constricting neck and waist bands. Many of these deformed, reformed or otherwise modified the body. (Rampley 68) According to Bennett (96), "fashion provides one of the most ready ways through which individuals can make expressive visual statements about their identities." From this perspective, it is reasonable to suggest that fashion has a very important role in the society. Thus, understanding various aspects of fashion is also of utmost importance. It is from this point of view that this paper discusses the importance of New York as a fashion city. A fashion...

Analysis Of The New York Poets Essay
...Assignment title: To what extent did the New York School poets bring a fresh sense of life to poetry? Close analysis of the poems written by Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery and Kenneth Koch, has lead me to believe that they bring a fresh sense of life in the poetry they write with the help of many factors ranging from the way they structure their poems, which is in the free form. To contextual and social references through the arts and the city. Effectively, almost embodying life in their poems, I believe that this was only possible through the use of free form poetry. Free form poetry lacked the traditional poetic characteristics normally associated with traditional poetry or "academic" poetry, and could be seen as similar to a collage. Due to the fact that each poem took is constructed of various images which coincide to make one larger image, evident in Koch's poem 'Fresh Air'. This idea is evident in 'Fresh Air' due to the way in which Koch portrays his thoughts about academic poetry which is almost lifelike, in the sense that the poem lacks a structure yet still tells a story, making the poem itself almost autonomous. This can be justified as the structure, which is free form, lacks both metre and a rhyme scheme. This poem in particular could be viewed as being similar to a collage, which is a type of art form made by sticking various images or materials to make one larger image. Just like a collage, 'Fresh Air' pieces together...

...DNY: Landscapes in New York 11/12/14 Term Paper – Rising Sea Levels and PlaNYC Ban Ki-moon once said, "Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are - rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call 'global challenges,' which require global solidarity." This quote shows how we as a world must work together to try and slow down climate change because it is something that is affecting us all, and eventually will distress us all in a very drastic manner, due to climate change leading to more natural disasters and extreme living conditions no matter where you are. On a smaller scale, we as New York citizens must work together to prevent climate change, and something that applies to us much more directly, rising sea levels. We as a city have already seen the problems caused by climate change and these rising sea levels in some of the low lying neighborhoods here in the city, more specifically when Hurricane Sandy ended up in New York City and left many of us New Yorkers without electricity, and some even without homes. Scientific researchers at NASA had started predicting our rising sea levels and what effects it would have on our city in 2006, and published an article stating what problems we as a city are going to face such as flooding. In 2007, New York City's government responded to our environmental problems...

New York City Transit Analysis Essay
...New York City Transit Analysis Determinants of impasse MTA thought that they could strong arm the union as they had in the past. In 1999 and 2002 MTA threatened the union with fines and jail time if they did not negotiate. Therefore, union leaders accepted terms and contracts that they normally would not have if they had other options. But members of the union were tired of promises by management of better working conditions and wage increases that did not cover the cost of inflation. Union members also felt that because they were minorities that they did not get the same pay as their counterparts in other MTA companies. They were determined not to settle for a mediocre contract. But when MTA proposed a contract with small pay increases, an increase in the pension age, increases in the amount that workers would pay for pension and workers now paying for healthcare that was once free to them, they decided that the striking was their only option even though it was illegal. Public Interest The public definitely suffer from the strike. It was especially hard for low income residents that could not pay for an alternative way to get to work or school. Because of this hardship, many New York residents remain at home. "Scores of commuters walked, pink-faced and sniffling, to their final destinations, across bridges, down busy avenues, where the determined but...
New York City and Fashions Essay
...Fashions are changing Rapidly. Mini skirts were fashionable in the sixties. But today long skirts are fashionable. Thus fashions keep on changing. It is natural to ask why fashions change. It is the desire to attract the attention of other people that causes new fashions to rise. A man makes certain modifications in his dress or hair style in order to attract the attention of others. People notice his new fashion. Many people imitate his new fashion because they think that they will not be noticed if they do not follow the new fashion. Thus the new fashion spreads and becomes common. When most people have accepted the new fashion, it is no longer new. It becomes the ordinary style. Fashionable persons may have already invented or followed newer fashions. That is why they are called fashionable. They follow the latest fashions which have not been accepted by the ordinary people who follow the ordinary or accepted style of life. Even then there may be persons who cling to the style of life that prevailed a generation or two earlier. Such persons are called old-fashioned and are often laughed at. Going after fashions is not desirable. It shows an inherent weakness. Only a person who has no merit in himself...

Wesley Center remains steadfastly in corner of LGBTQ flock
The UMC and its Iowa Conference are the ones opposing equality of members of the LGBTQ community, not the Wesley Center.
Wesley Center remains steadfastly in corner of LGBTQ flock The UMC and its Iowa Conference are the ones opposing equality of members of the LGBTQ community, not the Wesley Center.

Robert R. Cargill, Guest opinion Published 11:35 a.m. CT May 21, 2019
I want to follow up on my Saturday Press-Citizen opinion piece in defense of Rev. Anna Blaedel. Specifically, I want to make clear where the primary source of my frustration lies.
The General Conference of the United Methodist church recently voted to ban gay clergy from ordination and service in the church, and to punish those who employ LGBTQ ministers by threatening to eliminate their funding. This disastrous vote, which many of my Methodist friends and colleagues rightly condemn as one that will divide the church, was preceded by several official complaints brought by the Iowa Conference of the United Methodist Church against Anna Blaedel and the Wesley Center, seeking to punish Anna for performing the duties traditionally associated with serving as pastor like conducting weddings, and sanction the Wesley Center for employing and steadfastly defending Anna.
The Wesley Center at the University of Iowa has long been a sanctuary of respite and comfort for Iowa student members of the LGBTQ community. The Center's work dates back to the early 1970s, when it bravely hosted meetings of the nation's first gay student alliance at a state university. LGBTQ students in my Judaism and Christianity classes regularly cite the Wesley Center as a safe haven—a place where they are welcomed and accepted as they are for who they are, and perhaps more importantly, a place that advocates for them and other LGBTQ students, often in defiance of the Iowa UMC Conference.
Likewise, for years Anna has had to defend against multiple complaints coming from the Iowa and national UMC Conferences, as well as out-of-state conservative think tanks opposed to LGBTQ equality, in addition to enduring the exhausting spiritual and emotional anguish associated with being chastised by Christians within Anna's own denomination, who engage in the religious bigotry we have too often witnessed against members of the LGBTQ community.
Through all of this, the Wesley Center has defended Anna in defiance of the dictates of the Iowa and General Conferences of the UMC. Their decision to advocate on behalf of members of the LGBTQ community—as well as to defend Anna throughout Anna's tenure as Executive Director—should be applauded by members of the Iowa City community.
Make no mistake—the fault for the present dilemma lies squarely at the feet of the UMC and its Iowa Conference. They are the ones opposing equality of members of the LGBTQ community, not the Wesley Center. University of Iowa students should know that despite the present interdenominational conflict, the Wesley Center continues to be a place where LGBTQ students can seek refuge, counseling, comfort, spiritual guidance, and friendship, and that Rev. Anna will still be there working with and pastoring them, even if not as Executive Director.

Korea (disambiguation)
Coordinates: 36°N 128°E / 36°N 128°E / 36; 128
South Korea ( listen), officially the Republic of Korea (Hangul: 대한민국; hanja: 大韓民國; RR: Daehanminguk, listen) and commonly referred to as Korea, is a sovereign state in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name Korea is derived from the ancient Kingdom of Goguryeo, also known as Koryŏ. Highly urbanized at 92%, Koreans lead a distinctive urban lifestyle with half of them living in the Seoul Capital Area, the world's second largest city with over 25 million residents and a leading global city with the fourth largest economy, rated in 2016 as the world's most livable megacity and safest city to live in. Highly mountainous, Korea is a popular winter sport destination in Asia, hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The earliest Korean pottery dates to 8000 BC, with three kingdoms flourishing at 1st century BC. One of them, Goguryeo, ruled Northeast China, parts of Russia and Mongolia under Gwanggaeto the Great. Since their unification into Silla and Balhae in the 7th century, Korea enjoyed over a millennium of relative tranquility under long lasting dynasties with innovations like Hangul, the unique alphabet created by Sejong the Great in 1446, enabling anyone to easily learn to read and write. Its rich and vibrant culture left 17 UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity, the third largest in the world, along with 12 World Heritage Sites. Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan in 1910 due to its strategic and central location, after whose surrender in 1945, it was divided into North and South Korea. A North Korean invasion lead to the Korean War (1950–53). Peace has since mostly continued with the two agreeing to work peacefully for reunification and the South solidifying peace as a regional power with the world's 10th largest defence budget and strong global alliances. In 2016, Korea was rated as the world's safest country to live in, with the lowest crime rate.

Korea, called Chosŏn (Korean: 조선; Hanja: 朝鮮) in North Korea and Hanguk (Korean: 한국; Hanja: 韓國) or Daehanminkuk (Korean: 대한민국; Hanja: 大韓民國) in South Korea, is an East Asian territory that is divided into two distinct sovereign states: North Korea, formally the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea (ROK). Located on the Korean Peninsula, Korea is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast. It is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait and the Sea of Japan .
Korea emerged as a singular political entity after centuries of conflict among the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which were unified as Silla (57 BC – AD 935) and Balhae (AD 698 – 926). The united Silla was eventually succeeded by Goryeo in 935 at the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Goryeo, which gave name to the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state and created the Jikji in the 14th century. The invasions by the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, however, greatly weakened the nation, which forced it into vassalage. After the Yuan dynasty's collapse, severe political strife followed. Goryeo eventually fell to an uprising led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 1388.

North Korea ( listen), officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK; Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선민주주의인민공화국; hancha: 朝鮮民主主義人民共和國; MR: Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk), is a country in East Asia, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name Korea is derived from the Kingdom of Goguryeo, also spelled as Koryŏ. The capital and largest city is Pyongyang. North Korea shares a land border with China to the north and northwest, along the Amnok (Yalu) and Tumen rivers, and a small section of the Tumen River also forms a border with Russia to the northeast. The Korean Demilitarized Zone marks the boundary between North Korea and South Korea.
Korea was annexed by the Empire of Japan in 1910. After the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II in 1945, Korea was divided into two zones by the United States and the Soviet Union, with the north occupied by the Soviets and the south by the Americans. Negotiations on reunification failed, and in 1948 two separate governments were formed: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north, and the Republic of Korea in the south. An invasion initiated by North Korea led to the Korean War (1950–53). Although the Korean Armistice Agreement brought about a ceasefire, no official peace treaty was ever signed. Both states were accepted into the United Nations in 1991.

Why are gas pumping robots a really dumb idea? Is Facebook offering anonymity for a price? What secret quality does Microsoft's new CEO possess? And is it smart to watch a smartwatch? Get answers to these burning questions, and the scoop on the latest tech news, in this edition of the Geekly Update. It's guaranteed to make you 146% smarter. Read, think and comment!
Everyone knows computer programmers love Nutella. So it is just coincidence that Satya Nadella was chosen as Microsoft's new CEO? The search came back to the 21-year Microsoft veteran after going as far afield as the CEO of Ford Motor Company, who took himself out of the running in December. Forbes notes that he's never run a company before, but details how he got the top spot at Microsoft.
If you hate pumping gas, you may love the robotic gas pump being tested by Husky Corp. in Missouri. Infrared sensors detect the car's fuel intake door. An arm equipped with a suction cup opens the door and removes the cap. Another robotic arm inserts the fuel nozzle and pumps gas. Or you could move to New Jersey, where you're not even allowed to pump your own.

Two high-priority projects code-named Fast Break and Curveball have been ordered by CEO Marissa Mayer, aiming to regains Yahoo!'s control over the business side of search by dissolving the company's partnership with Microsoft Bing. Meanwhile, Yahoo!'s share of the search market fell again to 10.8 per cent in November, while Google's rose to 67.3 per cent and Bing's to 18.2 per cent.

I love it that NJ doesn't allow us to pump our own gas. Our prices are lower than anywhere else except Texas, we provide employment to a vast number of people, and we don't have to get gasoline or oil or road dirt on our clothes and hands. What more do you want?
EDITOR'S NOTE: I live on the NY/NJ border, and the irony is that once you cross into NY you have to pay 60 cents more per gallon AND pump it yourself!
Hola is cool, but netflix only allows streaming to the US for a US account.
I installed Hola on Monday. Found the website unclear on just what it was, what it was supposed to do, and how it was supposed to do it on Tuesday. Tried to run a DVD (Lord of the Rings) on Wednesday and found Hola had implanted itself in my startup menu, usurped default player status for DVDs, and refused to yield even to Win Patrol. Also got told I was now using an incompatible player (Win7) as my player.
Deleted Hola. Bloody good riddance. DVD played in Windows Media Player.

Fun Facts You May Not Know About Showbiz Pizza Place in Owensboro, KY
Chadwick Benefield Published: November 30, 2021
Nathan Spies via YouTube
I remember it very well. Most of us who grew up during the 80s here in Owensboro remember Showbiz Pizza Place at Towne Square North. It opened in the Fall of 1985 and featured just about everything a kid could want under one roof. Arcade games, Skee Ball, a giant air hockey table, a singing bear and his band, that gigantic pit of plastic balls and, of course, PIZZA!
I have a lot of memories of Showbiz Pizza Place. I remember birthday parties there. I remember going with some college friends from Kentucky Wesleyan College one time. But I don't remember much beyond that. I moved to Jefferson County in the Fall of 1991 when I transferred to the University of Louisville. A month after graduating, I moved to San Diego, California.
So, while I remember the early days of Showbiz Pizza Place's Owensboro location, I don't recall much of anything about the latter years and its ultimate closure. In fact, I'll be honest. I don't remember Showbiz even transitioning to an official Chuck E. Cheese's location.
That said, I recently stumbled across a new video history on YouTube. Using old newspaper articles, a collection of archived video and social media recollections, Nathan Spies has pieced together an audio/visual history of Owensboro's Showbiz Pizza Place and its brief run as a rebranded Chuck E. Cheese's location.
While I learned much from this video, there are clearly still a lot of questions about the final days of Showbiz/Chuck E. Cheese's here in town. Nathan, though he tried to connect all the dots with missing pieces, was unable to do so completely. There's a definitely a bit of mystery remaining about why the franchise's Owensboro location closed.
While I wasn't in this part of the country when it closed, I do remember being surprised to see a place called CiCi's Pizza in its place when I made it back to town. I remember wondering what happened to Showbiz.
So, what about you? Do you remember Showbiz Pizza Place becoming a Chuck E. Cheese's, albeit briefly, in Owensboro?

In 2006, in response to increased concern for acts of violence committed at the workplace, New York State enacted the Workplace Violence Prevention Act, which required most public employers to develop and implement programs to prevent such violence. Last week, the New York legislature passed a bill extending the reach of that Act to all nonprofit corporations incorporated in New York that receive at least fifty percent (50%) of their funding from government sources, whether federal, state, or local.
Develop and post a written policy statement about the employer's workplace violence prevention program goals and objectives and provide for full employee participation.
Conduct a risk evaluation by examining any history of workplace violence and assessing administrative or environmental risk factors.
Develop a workplace violence prevention program that explains the risks that were identified in the evaluation, the methods the employer will use to address those risks, the various controls of the program, a system for reporting any incidents of workplace violence, a lesson plan for employee program training, and a plan for program review and update on at least an annual basis. If there are 20 or more full-time permanent employees, this program must be described in writing.
Provide training and information for employees regarding the workplace violence prevention program, including any risk factors identified and what employees can do to protect themselves.
Establish and maintain a system for documenting workplace violence incidents as they occur.
The amendment to the Act will take effect one year after the governor signs the bill, which he is expected to do in the near future. Affected employers should, therefore, begin considering how they will comply with these requirements. Regardless of the application of the Act, however, all employers should consider undertaking formal measures to minimize the risks of workplace violence and provide a safe working environment for their employees.
