Q: Correct way of using the --remove-files option with TAR What is the correct way to use the --remove-files option when using tar?
Is it...
tar -cfvj --remove-files archive.tar.bz2 archive/

Or...
tar -cfvj archive.tar.bz2 archive/ --remove-files

A: Since the -f argument is telling tar you are going to speficy the file name of the archive you are acting on, I would keep the archive name right after that argument. The list of files and directories to include in the archive should come last. You can specify --remove-files before your other arguments like this:
tar --remove-files -cvfj archive.tar.bz2 archive/

A: For me, the archive file name MUST be after the -f option to avoid bad interpretation and make it easier to understand.
In my scripts, I prefer to use this syntax :
tar -cvjf archive.tar.bz2 --remove-files archive/

I've only switched the j and f options and moved the remove before the dir to archive.
The -c (--create) is a function to create the tar file, and must be at the beginning.


I'm looking for a fun and hardworking female to join my team. Preferably just finished college and who wants to learn. Successful applicant must have their own car and drivers license as well as camera, tripod and flash. Jobs will be anything from admin, to assisting me on site and learning the trade and then after a few months you will be shooting as well.

Microsoft and Walmart could turn TikTok into an e-commerce platform for creators
By Anthony Spadafora
Monetizing TikTok's user base could help Walmart better compete against Amazon

With the deadline for TikTok's parent company ByteDance to sell the social media app to a US business quickly approaching on September 15, there have been some major developments related to a potential deal.
First off, TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer, who joined the company just over three months ago, has made the decision to step down. In a letter to the company's employees obtained by The Financial Times (opens in new tab), Mayer explained his reason for stepping down, saying:
"I understand that the role that I signed up for — including running TikTok globally — will look very different as a result of the US administration's action to push for a sell off of the US business."

As for potential bidders interested in acquiring TikTok, Microsoft, Twitter, Google, Oracle and now Walmart have held discussions with the company about a deal. As reported by The Wrap (opens in new tab), Oracle also recently announced that it is close to reaching a deal with the White House which would see it hand over $10bn in cash and $10bn in stock for the social media company with 50 percent of TikTok's annual profit going back to ByteDance.
Microsoft and Walmart join forces
Although Oracle may be close to reaching a deal with the White House, the enterprise software company may now be at a disadvantage as Walmart recently announced that it is teaming up with Microsoft in a bid for TikTok. As of now though, it is still unclear as to how Microsoft and Walmart would split ownership of TikTok as well as which company would be the majority owner.
The retail giant has been working on a new membership program called Walmart+ in an effort to better compete against Amazon in the e-commerce space. The company believes that the social media app's integration of e-commerce and advertising could really benefit creators as well as users in the markets where it operates.
In a statement, Walmart provided more details on why it has decided to partner with Microsoft in a bid for TikTok, saying:
"We believe a potential relationship with TikTok US in partnership with Microsoft could add this key functionality and provide Walmart with an important way for us to reach and serve omnichannel customers as well as grow our third-party marketplace and advertising businesses. We are confident that a Walmart and Microsoft partnership would meet both the expectations of US TikTok users while satisfying the concerns of US government regulators."
If Microsoft and Walmart do win the bid for TikTok, the deal would provide both companies with access to hundreds of millions of consumers, many of them of a younger demographic, who they could sell their products to or use as an audience for online advertising.

My parents got of their week long cruise and I just wanted to cry for them… in joy! They had the best time on Holland Cruise Lines. They were catered to like royalty and my father had every kind of buffet available to him possible!! They were going to wander back through the Everglades before heading back to the frigid midwest. My father is a letter carrier and has kept many phuysicslly demanding jobs over the years, so I am especially thankful to the cruise group for giving them this great opportunity. They waited and saved for 35years to get this vacation!! I am so glad it was well worth it for them!!!
(X) Been on the opposite side of the country All the opposite sides—DITTO!
(X) Made prank phone calls BUT I AM SORRY I DID!! Really, Kay? Because I think calling Jesse up and making him take a Teen Magazine survey, and then calling him back as us and asking him if he had been asked to take a Teen Magazine survey is actually pretty FUNNY!
(X) Laughed until some beverage came out of your nose SO MANY LIQUIDS HAVE COME CRUISING OUT OF MY NOSE!!!
(X) Ever steal any traffic signs DO STREET SIGNS COUNT??? Of course!
We are having tooth issues in the house this week. My children have my problem…I had adult teeth grow in on top of my baby teeth while the baby teeth had no intention of getting out of the way! My duaghter is working very hard at wiggling hers and solving the problem herself. Yet my hubby (type A. take charge kind of guy) told them that by Friday if all the teeth weren't gone, he was going to pull them out with plyers. My duaghter got upset, but my son (who has 3!!!!!) busted up crying. Not the best 'bedside manner' in this situation. Have you guys had to either do this or had your own teeth pulled out? My folks remember doing it once to me at home and letting the dentist do the others.
Speaking of the dog, I got a huge kick out of our playdate this week. I was enjoying getting to know a fellow mom from church. We shared all manner of pleasant conversation. Her girls love the IDEA of a dog, and were so very happy to pet our pooch… as long as he was not looking at them. Considering he stood taller than both girls it is fully understandable. As they were leaving one of the girls were talking about him and playing outside. I told her all about how Swissies are the cart horse of Switzerland and about his harness and sled pulling ability. She was so excited I am sure in her brain is set in stone a playdate next winter in their open field for our pooch to give sleigh type rides. And I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Just stopped by from Friday Fragments and love your blog. I can't wait to come back for another visit.
That comic is awesome! i have to ditto your comments about mom & dad's cruise! they have worked so hard to earn this vacation, they deserve the royal treatment!
Yuck on the tooth issues. I have some horrible stories of tooth pulling, have I ever told you? pic is too funny!So glad your parents got this chance! Remember Reagan being terrified of Heidi? Hee hee, you'd never know it now!
I just learned what a Swissie is. My brother has one — I think he said it's called a red swissie, even though it looks blond. That dog is GI-normous, but the sweetest dog you'd ever want to meet.
Yeah!!! You joined the Fragmenters! You have hada week like mine! I was so tired today with snow and the events of the week I didn't get my fragments up. Sigh…. I hope you are doing well!! I ❤ your commetns on my blog. Always so nice!!! And I LOVE your layout!!! Wow!
I have often thought about how the invention of caller id has rendered an end to the prank call, which, I guess, is a good thing, but it still makes me sad… it was such a rite of preteens sleepover passage!
The retired super heroes is a riot!
I totally understood the Thomas the Train conversation!My teeth & my kids teeth are pulled by the dentist. Some things are best left to the pros! lolStopping by from Friday Fragments.

Its national bird is the Saint Vincent Amazon, an endemic bird of the Saint Vincent island.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. The Queen does not live in the islands but she is represented in the country by the Governor-General, currently Sir Frederick Ballantyne.

The island now known as Saint Vincent was originally named Youloumain by the native Caribs. The Caribs inhabited Saint Vincent before the Europeans arrived, and it is possible still to find Carib artifacts in the island.
Christopher Columbus explored in 1498 the main island on Saint Vincent's Day. The Caribs did not allowed Europeans to settle in Saint Vincent until 1719 when some French people came from Martinique and began to grow coffee, tobacco, indigo, cotton and sugar cane with the help of African slaves.
In 1763 by the Treaty of Paris, France gave control of Saint Vincent to Britain; France took the island again in 1779, but the British then regained Saint Vincent under the Treaty of Versailles (1783).
In 1834 slavery was abolished and people from the portuguese island of Madeira and from India came to work as agricultural workers.
In 1871 the group of islands became part of the Windward Islands Colony and in 1956 a member of the Federation of the Windward Islands. In 1958 Saint Vincent joined the Federation of the West Indies and in 1969 it got full internal self government. Finally in 1979 it became an Independent Sovereign State within the Commonwealt.
The estimated population in 2003 was 103,220. The population density is 265 persons per square kilometre.

I am looking to drag my husband away from the computer and heat of Cannes for the weekend. I have in mind a reasonably priced, quiet guest house with good food and a pool. Don't want to travel more than 1 hour from Cannes. Apreciate it may be busy at this time of year, but wondered if anyone had any ideas?!
Thank you every one that posted ideas - will store them away for another time!
Infact, we took Cathy's advice and headed of to La Rivolte in Grasse for a couple of days. It was heavenly. Wonderful breakfasts on the terrace overlooking the Bay of Cannes, morrning strolls around Grasse and lazy afternoons around the pool. Couldn't ask for more!
Would recommend it to anyone who, like us, just facies getting away fron it all!!
You could try us! I run a large 8 bedroom 19th century villa in Grasse with amazing sea views, 2 hectares of gardens and a jade green swimming pool. We normally rent the villa as a whole week by week during the summer and it is rented until the end of September, but due to this being an odd season we still had next week free so we're now offering Bed & Breakfast from Saturday 23rd August until the following Saturday. So far, I only have the Herb Cottage reserved. Please see our website for more details and photos: www.larivolte.com As we don't normally offer B&B during the summer, there are no peak season prices listed for July or August - please just add 10% to the high season room rates.
I should, at least, spell this place right. It is the Domaine de Chateauneuf, Nans-les-Pins. Have fun!
You might look into the Chateau Chateneuf in Nans-les-Pins.Should meet your criteria!
hmmm - no more than 1 hour from Cannes in the 3rd week of August eh? So you are thinking of Mandelieu, Valbonne, Golfe-Juan sort of radius then?


The Willem II Fabriek in 's-Hertogenbosch is a cultural hotspot located in a former cigar factory. Today the monumental building accommodates over 30 artists, designers, illustrators, architects and filmmakers. There's a graphic workshop, a venue and four exhibition spaces. The aim is to stimulate cross-over collaborations between different art disciplines. It also functions as a meeting place and cultural hotspot.
We were asked to design a framework in which all residents would be able to present themselves as independent organisations. But also displays in the collective mindset. The concept we pitched, is built upon the foundation that the Willem II Fabriek features a versatile character which is visualised through the diversity in use. It shows that the Willem II Fabriek stimulates new encounters and creates new collaborations between organisations and parties.
A dynamic identity, adaptable to the need of appliance and expression instead of a static logotype, was an obvious solution. So we designed a custom typeface with a modular font-system, based upon the grid of the exterior of the historical building. The way the typeface is displayed symbolises the use of shared space by all the different parties housed in the Willem II Fabriek.
The colour palette refers to the interior; the green architecture reminds of old industrial times while the orange and yellow, used in the renovation, illustrates the new fulfilment.

Tully (R) ★★★½
Posted on May 3, 2018 September 19, 2018 by Sarah Knight Adamson
Charlize Theron stars as Tully. Photo Credit: Focus Features
Authentic Portrayal of Motherhood
Tully is a female character driven movie from the heart, which mothers universally will champion and applaud for its realism—to be clear, it is not the flawlessly staged Mommy Blog Instagram photos that display angelic children with posed smiles and lovely stain-free attire. Native Chicago suburban writer Diablo Cody, known for her Academy Award winning screenplay of Juno (2007) along with director Jason Reitman brings us their third film together. Tully's tone feels like the grownup version of Juno; she's now in mid-life crises mode, heading smack dab into postpartum depression. But, don't let that scare you off, this quick-witted dark comedy, had me laughing out loud. Tully is a film for all to see, to clearly appreciate that motherhood, like old age, is not for sissies. If anything, you'll gain an empathic view of the never-ending duties and responsibilities of merely being a mom.
To begin, we are introduced to 40-year-old Marlo (Charlize Theron) in her last days of pregnancy; a mother of two who's expecting her third and, alas surprise baby. It's the nightly bedtime routine as Marlo gently therapeutically brushes the skin of her 5-year-old son, Jonah (Asher Miles Fallica), as he has dramatic, anxiety-driven episodes, undiagnosed at this point, but labeled "quirky." Marlo's husband Drew (Ron Livingston) doesn't interact much with the kids; he travels and tunes out by playing video-games when he is home. To be fair, Drew loves Marlo and their children, he's taken on more responsibility in his job, which yields a higher paycheck, but as a result, he's stressed out. Quickly, we surmise Margo's challenging situation—this is all before the baby is born.
In capturing the actual essence of the birth experience, I must say, this is one of the most genuine I've seen on screen. Edited to perfection—the real deal. Not the drawn-out wailing, ear-piercing screams—here the focus is on the nonnegotiable exhaustion from hours of labor. Theron's performance is astonishing, she, along with the clever script and sharp direction bring the movie to life. Ah, yes, a new baby, Mia, is her name, all those hopes, and dreams. Yet, there's constant sleeplessness, non-stop nursing, piled-up laundry, that over-flowing Diaper Genie, atypical outbursts from Jonah, lack of co-parenting, unfamiliar body image, etc. We see the helplessness of the situation and come to realize that even in a wanted pregnancy that has support, motherhood is a tough job.
Charlize Theron stars as Marlo in Jason Reitman's TULLY, a Focus Features release.
Suddenly, out of nowhere a ray of light appears. Marlo's wealthy brother (Mark Duplass) talks her into hiring a "night nanny," a part-time nocturnal caregiver offering mom sleep so she'll be able to deal the daytime duties. And, to sweeten the deal, it's bro's gift. When Tully, played by Mackenzie Davis, shows up at Marlo's door, the film takes a tonal shift. She's a younger version of Marlo, although mysterious, an old-soul offering kind unspoken gestures, friendship, and support. Finally, we all breathe a sigh of relief.
Despite, the newfound help, Margo meets yet another roadblock from Jonah's school. She receives no clarity or answers regarding his outbursts from the school staff, all culminating with the principal asking her to withdraw Jonah from school and start elsewhere. Margo now faces the challenge and worry of finding a new school for Jonah. The tension is yet again tight in Margo's world.
Margo begins to find solace in Tully, confiding in her while chatting like old girlfriends. She longs for her 20s, plotting a trip to Brooklyn to re-visit her old neighborhood bars. Tully says she'll go out partying with Margo, but oddly, the details of those conversations begin to seem one-sided. In deference to the script, I'll keep the plot twist under lock and key. Here, just know that Theron and Davis's chemistry is spot-on.
No person, book, maternity class, blog, etc. can truly prepare anyone for 'motherhood;' having gone through it three times myself, I can attest to Tully's remarkable authenticity. One does feel under a microscope when pregnant; I'm still shocked as I recall statements and questions by total strangers. As in, "Are you going to nurse your baby?" "When are you due, looks like any day now?" " Awww…you're having a girl, I can tell, you're so big for six months, and your weight is all around." Speaking of weight, Theron shared in several interviews that she gained close to 50 pounds for the role as she wanted to experience the difference in her body, and the struggles with weight loss. She's a mother of two adapted children, August 2-years-old and Jackson 6-years-old. Her children refer to Tully as the movie when mommy's belly got big.
There's so much to learn and value in seeing the film; I appreciated the fact that a troubled mom did seek help, I'm just not sure the script needed the plot twist. To me, the film could easily stand on its own as a genuine portrait of motherhood as an art form, without the twist.

Hatters' 3-0 defeat to Coventry City at the weekend is by no way a disaster according to boss Nathan Jones.
Town were beaten for the first time in almost two months by the Sky Blues, as their nine game unbeaten run was ended, while they slipped off the top of the table in the process, dropping to third.
It's been a decent month, it's been a poor day today, but we're in a decent position, so lets concentrate on that.
However, Jones said: "On the whole we've got 10 points from the month, it's five points, two points a game, we're still third so it's not a disaster.
"It's been a decent month, it's been a poor day today, but we're in a decent position, so lets concentrate on that.
"They asked to be in the top three with 10 points, so we've done that this month, it just seems a little bit disappointing considering we had the first three games of the month where we've won and then to go and lose our home game, but we did that against Swindon here.
"We lost 3-0 after having a man sent off and then we went on a nine game unbeaten run so that's basically what we'll try to do now.
Trailing 1-0 to Marc McNulty's first half header, Luton threw captain Scott Cuthbert upfront as they had against Wycombe last month, but it didn't work this time, with Coventry adding two goals in stoppage time after Glen Rea was sent off.
Jones continued: "We're trying to chase it, we put Scott Cuthbert upfront, we just got caught on the counter attack for the last two goals.
"It was a good free kick, now maybe in hindsight if we had said we won't try anything different to try to get the goal to draw the game, we'll just lose 1-0, we could have done that.
"But we tried to get back in the game and they've scored two late, it looks convincing and puts that flattering edge on the scoreline.
"Lets give them credit, they've come and put a good away performance in and won the game.
"We wanted to get the point. You look back on things, if we'd come here, been solid and secure and then said, they don't score many goals, we could have done that and played like an away side, that would have been something, but that's not how we play.
Hatters now face a break from league action as they travel to AFC Wimbledon in the Checkatrade Trophy tomorrow evening and then switch their attentions to the FA Cup, hosting League One Portsmouth on Saturday.
Jones added: "I don't it's come at a bad time, we can't pick and chose, but it will give us time to regroup, get everyone up to speed.
"We'll go to Cheltenham, hopefully with a full squad, with everyone up to speed and Alan McCormack will be closer to playing, Andrew Shinnie's had minutes, he'll have had more minutes this week.


Chuquicamata was a city located in the Chilean region of Anatofagasta, near the city of Calama in the Northern part of the region. It was referred to as Chuqui by its residents.
Chuquicamata is the largest open pit copper mine in the world, and as such copper mining the the sole source of the economy.
The area of Chuquicamata was used as a copper mine by the native people of the reqion as long ago as 3000 years. The town of Chuquicamata was built up around the copper mine of the same name starting around 1917 as a worker camp. At its height, Chuquicamata had a population of around 20,000 people.
Due to health and environmental concerns, the town was officially closed in 2007, and its residents were relocated to the nearby town of Calma, and permanent residences are not allowed within a 10km radius around the mine.
Than name of Chuquicamata is believed to derive from Aymaran. "Chuqui" referring to the Chuco people who used to mine in the area, and "camata", meaning "the limit of". The name is then thought to mean "The range/limit of the Chuco people".

US Economy Creates 162,000 – A Disappointment, But One That Won't Alter Fed Tapering Timetable
Written by Mathilde Hamel on August 2, 2013
The best way to characterize the July U.S. jobs report – a slight disappointment regarding jobs created – but one that neither furthers nor detracts from the market consensus that the Federal Reserve will begin to reduce stimulus in September.
The world's largest economy created 162,000 jobs in July, the U.S. Department of Labor announced said Friday – slightly less than the 174,000 Bloomberg News consensus estimate.
Moreover, the number of jobs added in May and June were revised downward to 176,000 and 188,000, respectively, reducing job gains for those two moths by 26,000.
"We get an employment picture that reflects an economy stuck in a 2% real growth rut with no real signs within the data to suggest a change anytime," Steve Blitz, Chief Economist at ITG Research Investment, wrote in a report.
Further, the unemployment rate edged down to 7.4 percent – the lowest rate since December 2008 and below the 7.5 percent economists had forecast.
However, investors should not accept the unemployment rate decline uncritically. A seemingly good number can be deceiving, according to Dan North, Lead Economist at Euler Hermes North America.
"We should not be fooled," North said. "This number is going down for the wrong reasons. More people are leaving the labor force."
With the above in mind, one metric that's certain to concern institutional investors, according to North, is the civilian labor force rate: it decreased by 0.1 percentage point to 63.4 percent in July – well below pre-recession levels. Meanwhile, the employment-population ratio remained unchanged at 58.7 percent.
Further, 11.5 million people remain unemployed, and long-term unemployment was unchanged at 4.2 million.
By sector, the July jobs report was mixed: some clear winners, and others that need considerable improvement. Retail added an impressive 47,000 jobs, and financial services added 15,000 jobs.
In addition, merchandising stores added 9,000 jobs; motor vehicle and parts dealers, gained 6,000, and health and personal care stores added 5,000.
Also, food services and drinking places – within the leisure and hospitality sector – added 38,000 jobs in July and seem to be doing relatively well compared to other sectors. Barack L., owner of Robusta Café in New York City's Financial District, says that his business is doing as well as it could.
"The main issue for us was Superstorm Sandy," Barack L said. "I'm a bit disappointed, but it's getting better. The problem is that I was closed for two months after Sandy and still some people are not back in the neighborhood. I cannot afford to hire more people."
On the other hand, Jana Kasperkevic, who had been working in the hospitality business for about five years, said that the economy has not impacted their business.
"Hospitality industry is very seasonal and since a lot of the workers view this job as transient, there are a lot of people coming and going," Kasperkevic said.
Another sign that July's jobs report was indicative of a job market that still is in the process of healing, according to North, is the quality of jobs created: the bulk of job growth occurred in jobs with low wages in the hospitality or retail trade sectors.
One clear July report bright spot was the manufacturing sector: after five months of relative stagnation, the sector created 6,000 jobs.
"The fact that the jobs reported is adjusted for seasonal variation might have boosted the manufacturing sector," said Sal Guatieri, Senior Economist at BMO Capital Markets. "The auto makers kept their plants running, the demand was quite good."
Other sectors like mining and logging, construction, transportation and warehousing, and the public sector showed little job change in July.
Also, the average workweek decreased by 0.1 hour to 34.4 hours and in the manufacturing sector, it decreased by 0.2 hour to 40.6 hours.
Meanwhile, average hourly earnings declined 2 cents to $23.98 in July, but it came after a large 10-cent gain in June.
In short, the consensus regarding the July jobs report was that it should not have a major impact on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's decision to start decreasing gradually, or "taper" its $85 million per month bond-buying program. July's jobs report contained job growth, but the growth was lackluster and a disappointment – not enough to change investors' consensus that the Fed will not taper its bond buying program before September.
"Growth is still growth no matter how anemic, and that is enough for the Fed to end the extraordinary suppression of yields out beyond 5 years of maturity," Blitz said. "It is not enough growth, nor is it sufficiently chipping into underemployment for the Fed to end zero interest rates at the short end."

Q: SVC's predict_proba and decision_function speed difference Does predict_proba have any dependency on decision_function under the hood of sklearn for SVC?
I trained a SVC model with probability set to True, when performing inference on a single data entry x.shape = (1, N_features), the time requires to get result from model.decision_function(x) is much slower than model.predict_proba(x). I assume predict_proba would first call decision_function and then calculate the calibrated probability, why would it run faster than decision_function. Also when computing decision_function, it also runs out memory with large dataset and large class number, which is not the case for predict_proba.
Are there some fundamental differences on how these two methods are implemented?

model = SVC(probability=True)

#class_num = 150, data_train.shape = (3000, 500)
model.fit(data_train, label_train)

start_time = time()
model.predict_proba(data_test[0].reshape(1, -1))
inference_time = (time() - start_time) # takes 0.002 seconds

start_time = time()
model.decision_function(data_test[0].reshape(1, -1))
inference_time = (time() - start_time) # takes 0.15 seconds

I expect the predict_proba to be slower than decision_function, however the result is the opposite.

Republican leadership in the House has decided to block Steve King from serving on committees because of an alleged racist remark about White supremacy.
House Democrats have scheduled a Tuesday vote on a resolution of disapproval of Rep. Steve King over the Iowa Republican's comments on white supremacy.
This is so stupid. You don't see Democrats doing this to their most radical members. Republicans are afraid of the Jewish media calling them racists and fold like cowards each and every time. The context of what King was saying about White supremacy and White nationalism wasn't even remotely offensive and would't be considered as such by any reasonable person.
Mitt Romney is siding with Democrats and calling on King to resign. Of course that doesn't surprise me in the least. Romney is basically a centrist Democrat masquerading as a Republican. He's only in the Senate because he's a Mormon and ran for the seat in Utah.
This whole situation is a joke. Other than wrongly apologizing for his statements, King literally did nothing wrong.

Financing local adaptation: Ensuring access for the climate vulnerable in Bangladesh
Source(s): Action Research for Community Adaptation in Bangladesh (ARCAB)
ActionAid - Bangladesh (AAB)
Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS)
International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD)
This report explores the crucial question of how to bridge the divide between increasing sources of adaptation finance, most of which currently exist at international or national levels, and local communities at the grassroots level that are facing the impacts of climate change. It explores to what extent local government institutions could provide a gateway for vulnerable communities to gain increased access to climate adaptation finance.
This report examines a number of initiatives, projects, and systems in Bangladesh that potentially have relevance to the design of an adaptation finance mechanism for the local level. The findings are presented in three frames: the local level, the national level, and linkages between the local and national levels. Lessons learned from each of these frames have helped to shape and guide a set of core principles, presented in Chapter 9, which in turn inform the report's recommended local adaptation finance mechanism, discussed in Chapter 10. Lastly, in Chapter 11, it proposes a possible two-phased pilot project that would lay the foundations for scaling up local adaptation finance in Bangladesh.

America's Finest Charter School
Dated school facilities, a lack of site accessibility and an absence of community presence, America's Finest Charter School (AFCS) needed modernization and expansion in order to improve the quality of their learning environments to meet today's needs and tomorrow's future learning strategies.
Tasked with preparing a long-term development strategy for AFCS, DAHLIN + Rodriguez Park developed a Site Master Plan through a comprehensive and collaborative effort between the school's end users, students, parents, teachers, school staff, and community members. As an integral part of the outreach and design process, they provided insightful information on the wants, needs and desires for their new campus.
Multiple site planning scenarios were developed through an interactive design process, ultimately culminating in two final development approaches for consideration by the Charter School Facilities Committee. The new Site Master Plan proposed replacement facilities for the aged school site of primarily non-conforming portables. The favored approach strategically phased construction where further site improvements could stop indefinitely after each construction phase, and allow school operations to proceed unimpeded.
Site Area: 2.97 acres

Review: Beautiful - The Carole King Musical, Sunderland Empire, until Saturday, March 10
Will you still love this musical tomorrow?
Wednesday, 7th March 2018, 10:12 am
Updated Wednesday, 7th March 2018, 10:15 am
Bronté as Carole King. Photos by Craig Sugden
The morning after press night and I'm certainly still humming along to its infectious soundtrack.
I hold my hands up, I wasn't massively au fait with Carole King's career prior to seeing Beautiful. Sure, I'd heard of landmark album Tapestry and knew she'd penned Will You Love Me Tomorrow, made famous by The Shirelles. But, other than that, my knowledge was limited.
My mother, however, knew all about her incredible career. No surprise, therefore, that the audience last night was mostly made up of people who remember the hits from their release in their '60s and '70s. That doesn't make it any less enjoyable for audiences who weren't around during the songs' inception: you just have to be a fan of music and the craft of song-writing.
What this musical does is to celebrate (and highlight for the uninitiated) just how talented a writer and composer Carole King is.
Songs she's associated with such as The Locomotion, One Fine Day, Up On the Roof, It's Too Late and You've Got a Friend are deftly woven together by the story of Carole's life, from her formative teenage years to her late '20s and the release of Tapestry.
Her's is not a dramatic story of growing up on the wrong side of the tracks or drugs and violence, but it is one countless women can relate to. It's an ordinary story of making a voice for yourself, juggling motherhood with a career and dealing with the heartbreak of your husband's infidelities.
Stepping behind the piano in the lead role is Bronté Barbé whose understated, emotional portrayal of King is the lynch pin of the show and you can't help but give her a whoop and holler when she finally kicks writing partner and adulterous husband Gerry (played by Kane Oliver Parry) to the kerb.
The American accents may be hammy, but the relationships feel more real and the connection between Carole, Gerry and friends and sometime writing partners Cynthia Weil (played by the feisty Amy Ellen Richardson) and Barry Mann (played with good comic timing by Matthew Gonsalves) are well fleshed out for a jukebox musical.
The accents are more seamless in the singing numbers and Bronté is brilliant at breathing theatrical life into one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.
She may not be playing the piano - that's done by a talented pianist in the pit - but everything else about the performance is pitch perfect.
A talented ensemble cast perform some of the hits King and her writing partners penned for other artists, including Some Kind of Wonderful and On Broadway, made famous by The Drifters and You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling as performed by the Righteous Brothers.
It may have been vocal powerhouse Aretha Franklin who made (You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman famous, but Bronté's performance of this number in the context of Carole's marriage problems made it seem all the more beautiful.

Q: Checking model, the same variance, in one-way ANOVA test \begin{array} {|r|r|}\hline A & B & C \\ \hline 24 & 21 & 16 \\ \hline 18 & 26 & 22 \\ \hline 27 & 32 & 19 \\ \hline 28 & 25 & 17 \\ \hline  \end{array}
At the significance level of $\alpha = 5\%$, compare the average number of tomatoes produced when these types of fertilizer are used.
I'm using ANOVA test for this kind of problem. However, I am stuck in checking the model, especially the same variance between populations. I have two courses of action. Firstly, I will make variance tests between each pair of population. Nevertheless, this measure violates the nature of ANOVA, that is, massive testing. To be more specific, if we test the variance of each pair of population, it is time-consuming, inefficient and it is better to use t-test. Secondly, I just calculate the estimated standard deviation between those populations and decide empirically whether it is acceptable or not. Is there any customary criteria to make rough estimation or more advanced techniques to test the equality of variance between populations?

A: Data
a = c(24,18,27,23)
b = c(21,26,32,25)
c = c(16,22,19,17)

Not enough data for a formal test of equal variances, but
I agree that there may be some doubt. So I would use oneway.test in R,
which does not assume equal variances. (The adjustment for possibly
unequal variances is similar to the adjustment in a Welch 2-sample t test,
used as a substitute for a pooled 2-sample t test.)
sd(a); sd(b); sd(c)
[1] 3.741657
[1] 4.546061
[1] 2.645751

The null hypothesis that all three population means are equal is
not rejected at the 5% level of significance.
x = c(a,b,c)
g = rep(1:3, each=4)
oneway.test(x ~ g)

        One-way analysis of means (not assuming equal variances)

data:  x and g
F = 4.2711, num df = 2.0000, denom df = 5.6994, p-value = 0.07355

The standard ANOVA is also not quite significant at the 5% level.
Notes: (1) You must declare as.factor(g), otherwise you get inappropriate output for
a regression. (2) oneway.test has DF(Resid)$=5.7\ne 9,$ so
some allowance has been made for unequal sample variances.
anova(lm(x~as.factor(g)))
Analysis of Variance Table

Response: x
             Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value  Pr(>F)
as.factor(g)  2    114  57.000   4.104 0.05411 .
Residuals     9    125  13.889
---
Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

Thus, no ad hoc tests are appropriate. [For the record, just looking at
B and C, and ignoring the ANOVA, a Welch two-sample t test would (barely) find
significance with P-value 0.037. But this would be P-hacking and risks false discovery.]
There is not enough data formally to test residuals for normality, but a normal
probability plot of residuals raises no alarms.
r = lm(x~as.factor(g))$resid

Anderson Cooper Brought Boyfriend To Oscar Party
By claire daniel — Written on Mar 09, 2010
Quelle surprise! Anderson Cooper brought his under-the-radar boyfriend to Vanity Fair's Oscar party on Sunday night. You would never know it, though, if it weren't for an anonymous tipster.
Although the silver-haired CNN anchor has yet to publicly come out of the closet, it seems that he has been taking the first few steps of relationship recognition with Ben Maisani, the French-lipped barman/owner of Eastern Bloc.
First the $4.3 million Greenwich Village firehouse and now this!
This would mark a big turning point for the glass closeted Cooper, who refuses to acknowledge the relationship or his sexual orientation publicly, but isn't afraid to bring him to one of Hollywood's most high-profile parties. Too bad the photographers are in on the conspiracy. From what we can tell, this is the back of Maisani's head and it seems the Coop is introducing him to Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld. The caption by WireImage—the agency that pays the magazine a massive sum each year for exclusive photos of party guests—only has three names and one ends in Cooper and the other two in Seinfeld. (According to our tipster, Maisani and Cooper were seated at a table with Mary Richardson Kennedy, Aaron Sorkin, Katherine Ross, Ron Howard, Tabitha Soren and Michael Lewis.) [Source: Gawker]

Epistemology of the Closet, Updated with a New Preface
by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (Author)
Introduction to Women & Gender Studies Sociology of Gender
About the Book About the Author Reviews Table of Contents Related Books
Since the late 1980s, queer studies and theory have become vital to the intellectual and political life of the United States. This has been due, in no small degree, to the influence of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's critically acclaimed Epistemology of the Closet. Working from classic texts of European and American writers—including Melville, James, Nietzsche, Proust, and Wilde—Sedgwick analyzes a turn-of-the-century historical moment in which sexual orientation became as important a demarcation of personhood as gender had been for centuries. In her preface to this updated edition Sedgwick places the book both personally and historically, looking specifically at the horror of the first wave of the AIDS epidemic and its influence on the text.
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (May 2, 1950 – April 12, 2009) was a poet, artist, literary critic and teacher. She is perhaps best known as one of the originators of Queer Theory. Her work and her example continue to have a significant effect in shaping the lives and thought of many people.
"Close readings of Melville's Billy Budd, Wilde's Dorian Gray, and of Proust, Nietzsche, Henry James, and Thackeray bristle with keen observations relating entrenched fears of same-sex relationships to contemporary gay-bashing." —Publishers Weekly
"No book I have recently read is as successful as Sedgwick's in making provocative connections between literary acts and social dynamics." —The Nation
"Pioneering and rewarding. Sedgwick has zeroed in on the taboo area of male sexuality, and the architecture she exposes is stunning." —Boston Globe
"An important contribution to lesbian and gay studies." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Brilliant as a work of literary criticism, a cultural study, a political analysis, and as a landmark in the development of lesbian and gay studies."
—Women's Review of Books
"To read (and reread) Sedgwick's Epistemology of the Closet is a rewarding experience. This text will shatter the framework through which you think about life." —Feminist Review

Crowdbotics, a software development platform with a library of prebuilt app architectures, today announced that it raised $40 million in a Series B round led by NEA with participation from Homebrew, JSV, Harrison Metal and Cooley. The new cash will be put toward expanding Crowdbotics' enterprise presence, CEO Anand Kulkarni told TechCrunch in an email interview, as well as growing the company's product offerings and invest in helping increasing its current customer base.
Kulkarni founded Crowdbotics in 2017 after launching LeadGenius, which used AI to crawl the web and discover sales leads. With Crowdbotics, he sought to create a catalog of reusable modules of code to simplify the process of planning and deploying software.
"Because up to 80% of requirements are similar between software applications -- things like single sign-on flows or payment gateways don't vary much between products -- customers can build applications using strategies and reusable modules of code that have worked in the past, and focus custom engineering efforts just on the parts of their application that are truly unique," Kulkarni said. "Customers specify custom software products using our planning engine, which is powered by a growing repository of historical data about how applications are built. Customers can convert these specifications into code on Crowdbotics, typically in React, React Native and Django, and deploy applications into the web, Android and iOS app stores, or on-premise environments, with staging and production workflows included."
Kulkarni thinks of Crowdbotics as a sort of ERP for software creation. ERP, or enterprise resource planning, is a type of system that helps organizations automate and manage core business processes. Instead of business processes, Crowdbotics orchestrates the management of development processes, helping keep app development in line and -- with any luck -- on time.

On the surface, the idea isn't dissimilar to DhiWise, which converts visual app elements into structured, readable and modular code that can be later built upon for scalability. In terms of potential rivals, there's also Appsmith, which offers an open source platform for internal development teams to build custom apps, and WorkOS and Onymos, which lets developers add enterprise features like single sign-on (SSO) and directory sync to apps,
"We're displacing last-generation app-building tools like Microsoft PowerApps and Mendix," Kulkarni said confidently. "Crowdbotics prices based on the number of features in the application irrespective of the number of users ... [and] lets developers work directly in open source software development frameworks like React Native and Django, and also lets CIOs set and enforce their own standards for development and security -- generating readable code."
Kulkarni says that most enterprises on Crowdbotics create a private module library on the platform, categorizing their own organization's reusable components of code plus data. Developers can use these private module libraries to rapidly generate their own IT-approved feature libraries that can be maintained and repurposed across the org. Or they can hire project managers and developers from Crowdbotics' gig marketplace, paying a monthly subscription for hosting, infrastructure, maintenance, monitoring and more.
"By reusing standardized, well-supported architectures and quickly snapping together modules of interoperable code, customers can build stable apps quickly, or have applications built to their specifications," Kulkarni added. "By decreasing development time and budget, and facilitating code reuse at scale, while playing nice with an organization's own standards, there are benefits to the CTO, CIO and other IT department heads that directly impact their performance and their department's bottom line."
There might be a bit of hyperbole there. But Crowdbotics, which has raised over $68 million in funding to date, certainly hasn't failed to nab customers. The startup claims to have over 500, the largest being the U.S. Air Force, which is using Crowdbotics to build flight analysis and training tools. Kulkarni says that Crowdbotics' revenue has been tripling year-over-year for the past three years and that its 90-person workforce is on track to double by year-end 2023.
"Right now the changing economy is looming over most businesses, and making sure capital isn't wasted will be a critical concern. Crowdbotics is positioned to help by allowing organizations to be more strategic and efficient with their development resources," Kulkarni said. "Not only does it reduce overall cost and overhead, but also creates a path for code reuse, ensuring all future development carries the same cost efficiencies ... We've seen accelerating impact from the pandemic as digital transformation initiatives moved to the forefront of every company's strategy, and we expect business to continue to grow even in 2023's market as companies start to look to use code reuse to reduce software development costs and turn to Crowdbotics."

A Silver Lining in Intel's Miserable Earnings Report
Few things went right for chip giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) in the fourth quarter. In the PC market, a dramatic tumble in demand that played out in the second half of 2022 transformed component shortages into gluts. Intel shipped PC central processing units (CPUs) at a rate that was about 10% below consumption throughout 2022, with that gap expanding in Q4 and expected to further widen in Q1 2023.

A massive congratulations to Natalie and Greg who were married on Friday 16th August 2013 at the Saddleworth Hotel, Oldham.
It was fantastic working with this lovely couple on their wedding stationery, especially as they were Love Invited's very first official customer. Their wedding was to be sweetie themed, so the Sweet Heart wedding stationery collection from Love Invited fit the bill perfectly.
Natalie and Greg wanted to notify their friends and family of their wedding date as soon as possible so they chose to send a save the date. The Sweet Heart save the date is based on a lolly pop and it looked perfect in their colour scheme of lavender and coral, finished off with a coral polka dot bow, all mounted on a wooden lolly stick. This save the date was a great way to introduce their theme to their guests.
Natalie and Greg also ordered the A5 wedding invitation which came in a striped sweetie bag style wallet, both featuring their own customised monogram with an additional information card, menu options card and rsvp.
For the day it's self they also had table names based on classic sweets, place cards printed with their gusts names and a beautifully framed and mounted table plan in an ivory swept frame.

We just got back from NYC last night, and while it's good to be home, I wish we would have had more time to spend with our friends while visiting. It was a bit of a whirlwind trip. Oh well, I should focus on the positive. We got to see our friends' brand new baby, have happy hour with a big group of people I've been missing ever since I moved, and eat some of our favorite Brooklyn foods. Not too bad for less than three days there. Also, the weather was just perfect, so we spent plenty of time walking around outside, one of my favorite NYC activities!

Miner dies in West Virginia coal mine and family sues Consol for his death
CHARLESTON, WV – A Consol Energy ditch-digging machine lurched forward and ripped off Charles McIntire's leg as it lurched forward out of control. Mr. McIntire of Shadyside, Ohio, died on Oct. 17, 2011, as a result of the incident. He was 62 years old.
Mr. McIntire's daughter filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Pennsylvania based Consol Energy. The lawsuit says Consol failed to conduct safety hazard inspections, failed to keep the machine in safe operating condition and failed to ensure it had emergency shut-off switches.
The WV mine safety office issued two violations to Consol related to the equipment involved in Mr. McIntire's death.
The complaint was originally filed in Marshall County, WV Circuit Court, but Consol recently transferred the case to the U.S. District Court in Wheeling.
Unfortunately, every year there are needless deaths and workplace injuries caused by employers who disregard the law and safety standards. Fortunately, in West Virginia, we have a judicial system that enables workers who have been injured and/or their families to bring claims against employers who put profit over safety. This not only helps workers injured in workplace accidents, it also motivates employers to provide workers a safe place to work.
Contact a West Virginia lawyer experienced in workplace accidents
If you or a loved one has been injured at work, we advise you to speak with an experienced West Virginia work injury lawyer like West Law Offices as soon as possible to discuss your options. We invite you to call us for a free consultation. Our toll free number is 1-877-943-9378.

China has denied a request for a U.S. warship to visit Hong Kong, the U.S. consulate in the Chinese city said on Tuesday, amid rising tension between Beijing and Washington over trade and a U.S. decision to sanction the Asian nation's military.
The amphibious assault ship Wasp had been due to make a port call in the former British colony of Hong Kong in October, diplomatic sources said.
"The Chinese Government did not approve a request for a U.S. port visit to Hong Kong by the USS Wasp," a consulate spokeswoman said.
"We have a long track record of successful port visits to Hong Kong, and we expect that to continue," she added.
In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang did not directly answer a question on whether China had denied the request.
"For requests for U.S. military ships to visit Hong Kong, China has always carried out approvals case by case, in accordance with the principle of sovereignty and the detailed situation," he told reporters, without elaborating.
In 2016, at a time of heightened tension over its territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea, China denied a request for a U.S. carrier strike group led by the John C. Stennis to visit Hong Kong.
On Saturday, China summoned the U.S. ambassador in Beijing and postponed joint military talks in protest against a U.S. decision to sanction a Chinese military agency and its director for buying Russian fighter jets and a surface-to-air missile system.
China and the United States are also embroiled in an increasingly bitter trade war.

Japan Jokes
The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a competitive boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance.
On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese won by a mile. Afterward, the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommended corrective action.
The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering.
After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team.
So as race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive.
The next year, the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem."

The Polish were upset because of their bad reputation. A group of them got together and approached a conference of Americans, Germans, and Japanese and asked for help on this matter. An American replied, "You must do something so the world will respect you. The Japanese are known for their technology and the Germans are known for their resourcefulness. We Americans have had respect since we helped win the World War against the other two. See, you need to do something world-famous." A German added," Yes, he's right. Why don't you find a place in this world in need of a bridge that no one has dared build, build it, come back to us, and we will help publicize it."
With that, the Polish set off to build their bridge. They designed it and worked 6 months and finally completed it. They then went back to report it to the group. The bridge was a beautiful bridge but it had one flaw: it was erected in the middle of the Sahara Desert. An American said, "No, no. See, that is why you have your reputation. There is no need for a bridge in the middle of the desert. Now go and dismantle it, and find a more strategic spot to erect it."
The Polish returned to the conference in two weeks. One of the Japanese said, "Two weeks! It only took you two weeks to dismantle that bridge and build a new one??? That is amazing!!" To which a Polish man replied, "Well, not exactly. When we returned to the bridge we couldn't dismantle it because there were all these Italians fishing off it."
Japanese Banking Crisis
According to inside contacts, the Japanese banking crisis shows no signs of ameliorating. If anything, it's getting worse.
Following last week's news that Origami Bank had folded, we are hearing that Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank plans to cut back some of its branches.
Karaoke Bank is up for sale and is (you guessed it!) going for a song.
Meanwhile, shares in Kamikaze Bank have nose-dived and 500 back-office staff at Karate Bank got the chop.
Analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank and staff there fear they may get a raw deal.
There was a Japanese man who went to America for sightseeing.
On the last day, he hailed a cab and told the driver to drive to the airport.
During the journey, a Honda drove past the taxi. Thereupon, the man leaned out of the window excitedly and yelled, "Honda, very fast! Made in Japan!"
After a while, a Toyota sped past the taxi. Again, the Japanese man leaned out of the window and yelled, "Toyota, very fast! Made in Japan!"
And then a Mitsubishi sped past the taxi. For the third time, the Japanese leaned out of the window and yelled, "Mitsubishi, very fast! Made in Japan!"
The driver was a little angry, but he kept quiet. And this went on for quite a number of cars. Finally, the taxi came to the airport.
The fare was US$300. The Japanese exclaimed, "Wah... so expensive!"
There upon, the driver yelled back, "Meter, very fast! Made in Japan!"
