Eden Prairie, Minn. firm settles wrongful termination suits
by BMD Editors on September 28, 2017 2:00pm
in Firing,Human Resources
Starkey Laboratories, an Eden Prairie, Minn. maker of hearing aids, has settled two wrongful termination lawsuits that followed the sacking of several top executives two years ago.
The bloodbath began following an internal investigation that found a cabal consisting of the company president and two executives conspired to embezzle more than $20 million.
The settlements went to a former vice president and a former executive assistant who were swept up in the resulting purge. They both filed lawsuits alleging their firings constituted a breach of contract.
The executive assistant was married to the company's HR director. She claimed the company fired her only because of their relationship. She argued her termination was "marital status discrimination" in violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
Terms of the settlements paid to the two were confidential.
The company president, HR director and chief financial officer have been charged in federal court with embezzlement by using a complex series of transactions involving restricted company stock. The president has sued the company over his termination, but that case is on hold while the criminal trial moves forward.
Note: When employee malfeasance occurs, relationships with related or married employees can get awkward. Always consult your attorney when handling sticky situations like this one.

10th ABET Awards a Success!
The 10th ABET Awards was held in the Center for Performing Arts, USJR at 6:00pm last February 18, 2011 which was organized by the Masscom Coordinates. Now on it's 10th year, the ABET Awards showcases the results of the various Video projects created by students, from music videos, drama, comedy indie interpretations which range around 5-10 minutes.
It was an interesting event since it was my 1st time attending a student led event in a different course, school and scale. Equally interesting also is that the entries created by them with their various 'indie' interpretations and music video re-creations. It was also nice touring and getting lost around USJR, since it was my Father and Grand-mother's Alma-mater.
ABET or Amateur Broadcast for Experimental Television Awards is a yearly event of the said organization that gives commendations to the short films and music videos of the students enrolled in Mass Communications.
will be updated soon with the complete list!
Till the next ABET Awards!

Q: Mixed data type case expression PostgresSQL I am trying to do a case expression with mixed data types with no avail. Please could I get some help with what I'm doing wrong, please see my statement below
Case
   when c.student_age > 19
     and c.count_forms > 3
     and ss.value :: date <@ fiscal_year.f_year
       then "Y"
   else "N"
end as student_r_year

I'm using both int and date data in the first part of the case statement and that's where the issue is.

A: I could not find the definition of <@, but from your description, I assume that you  mean that ss.value is the same year as fiscal_year.f_year:
Case
   when c.student_age > 19
     and c.count_forms > 3
     and ss.value :: date BETWEEN (fiscal_year.f_year::varchar || '-01-01')::date
                              AND (fiscal_year.f_year::varchar || '-12-31')::date
   then 'Y'
   else 'N'
end as student_r_year

An alternative is to extract the year from ss.value:
Case
   when c.student_age > 19
     and c.count_forms > 3
     and extract(year from ss.value :: date) = fiscal_year.f_year
   then 'Y'
   else 'N'
end as student_r_year

If not, you need to modify mynetworks to include your IP range.

Q: How to filter and loop through a nested associative object in JavaScript? So I have three nested associative objects/arrays in total. Employee1 and employee2 were first made, and then employees was created in order to nest the two associative objects. Next, I created a third associative object, employee3, to nest into the employees object. What I am trying to do now is filter through the 2D array using the .filter() method to only bring up the employees that are currently working there, which is indicated in the arrays by ["isCurrent"] = true; but all I'm getting in the console window is undefined. Why is this happening and how do I fix this?

var employee1 = [];
employee1["id"] = 33;
employee1["name"] = "Carey Shanks";
employee1["title"] = "Knife Maker";
employee1["department"] = "fabrication";
employee1["isCurrent"] = true;

var employee2 = [];
employee2["id"] = 34;
employee2["name"] = "Giles Newman";
employee2["title"] = "Lead Sales";
employee2["department"] = "Customer Service";
employee2["isCurrent"] = true;

var employees = [];
employees[0] = [];
employees[0]["id"] = 33;
employees[0]["name"] = "Carey Shanks";
employees[0]["title"] = "Knife Maker";
employees[0]["department"] = "fabrication";
employees[0]["isCurrent"] = true;

var employee3 = [];
employee3["id"] = 35;
employee3["name"] = "Tori G.";
employee3["title"] = "Product Demonstrator";
employee3["department"] = "Marketing";
employee3["isCurrent"] = false;

//MERING THE ARRAYS
employees.push(employee2);
employees.push(employee3);

//TESTING TO SEE IF IT POPULATED
//window.console.log(employees);

var i;
var currentEmployee = function (isCurrent) {
    var isCurrentEmployee = true;
    for (i in employees) {
        if (isCurrent !== true) {
            isCurrentEmployee = false;
            break;
        }
    }
    return isCurrentEmployee;
};
var isCompanyEmployee = employees.filter(currentEmployee);

window.console.log(isCompanyEmployee[i]);

A: Some issues:

*

*Arrays should only be used with numeric indicies. If you want to use arbitrary string keys, use an object instead.

*The first argument to the filter callback is the current item being iterated over; your
var currentEmployee = function (isCurrent) {

defines isCurrent as the first argument, but that's not the isCurrent property. If you wanted to immediately extract the isCurrent property from the object, destructure the parameter instead, and then you can just return it:
var currentEmployee = function ({ isCurrent }) {
  return isCurrent;
}

Or, if you're not comfortable with destructuring, this is equivalent to
var currentEmployee = function (employee) {
  return employee.isCurrent;
}

*i has no meaning outside the currentEmployee function - log the filtered array instead:
console.log(isCompanyEmployee);

*You never push employee1 to the array.

var employee1 = {};
employee1["id"] = 33;
employee1["name"] = "Carey Shanks";
employee1["title"] = "Knife Maker";
employee1["department"] = "fabrication";
employee1["isCurrent"] = true;

var employee2 = {};
employee2["id"] = 34;
employee2["name"] = "Giles Newman";
employee2["title"] = "Lead Sales";
employee2["department"] = "Customer Service";
employee2["isCurrent"] = true;

var employees = [];
employees[0] = {};
employees[0]["id"] = 33;
employees[0]["name"] = "Carey Shanks";
employees[0]["title"] = "Knife Maker";
employees[0]["department"] = "fabrication";
employees[0]["isCurrent"] = true;

var employee3 = {};
employee3["id"] = 35;
employee3["name"] = "Tori G.";
employee3["title"] = "Product Demonstrator";
employee3["department"] = "Marketing";
employee3["isCurrent"] = false;

//MERING THE ARRAYS
employees.push(employee1);
employees.push(employee2);
employees.push(employee3);

//TESTING TO SEE IF IT POPULATED
//window.console.log(employees);

var i;
var currentEmployee = function ({ isCurrent }) {
    return isCurrent;
};
var currentEmployees = employees.filter(currentEmployee);

window.console.log(currentEmployees);

Q: Using 3v3 zener, with actual max 3.5v, to protect Raspberry input? I'm interested in making a serial connection between an Arduino and a Raspberry.
I'm using a SN74HC14N inverted Schmitt trigger to provide 5V logic from the 3v3 signal. (3v3 TX -> 1A; 1Y->2A; 2Y-> 5V RX)
I'm intending to use a 3v3 Zener (BZX55C3V3) in series with 220ohm to provide 3v3 level to the Raspberry RX, but it gives me 3.5V (which is the max Vz in the datasheet).
Would this be a safe Zener to use, or should I buy a 3.0V Zener (max 3.2V) instead?


"price, save 30 on krill alone with first order, as you stated amazon would be cheaper"
"Great product and quick delivery.. "
"I have been buying from you for many years. I will continue great service ,Christian company"
"The overall experience from order to delivery has been satisfactory."
"I hope that this is a good product! Time will tell!"
"I do like that the Krill has no taste, only slight smell, but NO fishy burps. Both supplements are easy to swallow. I like the information provided about the products. I've only used the Krill product for a month so I can't really report a huge 'difference' in how I feel. I've been eating clean for about 7 months as in no sugar or flour or junk food. Maybe once a week or so I may have some bread, also some dark chocolate more often. Eating this way is a totally different thing for me. I add that information because changing what I eat has made a big difference in energy, etc. The probiotic product is new for me so I can't comment at all. I've taken both types of products in the past and look forward to seeing if I notice a change. Even if I don't notice any change, I am satisfied that the products seem like good ones. "
"Just got them but so far so good."
"Good honest company and Captain's Krill Oil is the best!"
"Not crazy about all the pop-ups suggesting additional products"
"Your product is good but very pricey."
"Wish you could ccarry Algaecal and Strontium...."
"Every time I buy from you everything is great. Never have had a problem. Been a customer for quite a while."


The actress stars as a journalist in t he powerful film about child trafficking.
Gillian Anderson attended the opening night gala premiere of Sold at the London Indian Film Festival on Thursday (July 11).
The Fall star was welcomed by a group of dhol players, as she took to the red carpet at the Cineworld Haymarket in central London.
Directed by Jeffery Brown, Sold, tells the story of Laxmi (Niyar Saikia), a young Nepali girl who is sent away by her family to work as a domestic servant in Kolkata, only to find she has been trafficked into a brothel.
Anderson plays the US photographer who learns of Laxmi's plight and helps local agencies spearhead a dangerous mission to rescue her.
Describing her experience of the film, Anderson said: "Working on this sensitively-told film and with young women who have themselves experienced the unbelievable trauma of abduction and trafficking has opened my eyes to the horrors these young people face on a daily basis, as well as the often life-threatening danger those working at the charities put themselves in, to free these innocent victims from modern day slavery."
Produced by Oscar winner Emma Thompson, the film also stars American actor David Arquette.
The film is based on Patricia McCormick's bestseller of the same name.
Also in attendance at the fifth London Indian Film Festival was British-born Bollywood actress Amy Jackson, EastEnders star Nitin Ganatra and cinematographer Santosh Sivan.
Europe's largest platform for Asian cinema, the London Indian Film Festival returns to the Capital, celebrating Independent cinema and bringing to UK audiences a rare selection of cutting-edge films from some of India's hottest independent talents.
The annual festival presents a kaleidoscope of new films that challenge, shock, generate debate and present a more realistic view of India and the subcontinent today, in all its diversity.
The festival continues at BFI Southbank, ICA and Cineworld Cinemas around London. Highlights include a talk with filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar and an in conversation event with Nana Patekar.
The London Indian Film Festival takes place from July 10-17.

As stated, hardly any objects or memories remain of the presence of the Dutch in Odisha. Where did they go and why? What happened and why is so little evidence left? In 2015 Naveen Patnaik, chief minister of Odisha since March 2000 (!), inaugurated a splendid maritime museum by the riverside at Cuttack town. Sadly, the museum could not present information on overseas trade during the 17th and 18th centuries, since, according to its Director, little knowledge and objects were available. Below, whatever was available so far is summarized.
The VOC was founded in 1602 at Amsterdam, and began to set up a chain of trade posts all along the Indian East coast as rapid as possible. In Odisha they first settled at Pipely, in 1616. At Pipely a harbour had been constructed in the 15th century under the former Afghan rulers of Bengal, and connected via an inland channel system from Tamluk in Bengal to Baliapal in Odisha, by the river Subarnarekha in northern Odisha. This was necessary because of the dangerous seafaring conditions around the mouth of the Ganges. Originally, the harbour was called Shahbandar, until the Mughal empire took over. At Pipeli the Dutch shared the cemetery and other facilities with the Muslims (2). The Dutch had a lodge and a saltpetre factory there. The saltpetre was shipped to Holland, while rice and clarified butter were sent to the VOC centre at Batavia, and slaves were to provide for the work force in J.P. Coen's scheme for developing and securing Dutch colonies in Indonesia.

Otherwise, trade from Pipely mainly concerned textiles from Bengal and Odisha. In 1627 the VOC established their trade office for Orixa there, but had to leave it in 1635 already, due to the horrible weather conditions as well as to silting up of the river. The main office was shifted to Chinsurah (now: Chuchura), by the Houghly river in West Bengal. Over there, however, a serious conflict arose with the local authorities. As a result, the transit trade via Houghly to and from other places in the North was blocked. Because of this, Houghly had to be closed temporarily in 1636 (3). Eventually the problem was solved with two firmans (concessions) in 1636 and 1636 from the emperor Shah Jahan, allowing transit trade from Piply and Baleshwar via Bengal to other parts of Northern India, while avoiding Houghly. Only saltpetre and slaves were exempted from trade. By 1646, Pipely had firmly established itself as a transit office, and soon afterwards shifted their VOC by-office for Orixa to 'Bellesoor' (Baleshwar), with a small factory.
In 1633 the VOC attempted to set up another factory in the old harbour of Hariharpur, by the north of the Chilka Lake, but this was abandoned soon due to "inadequate opportunities of trade" (4).
From Baliapal and nearby Balaramgadi (on the way to Baleshwar), only some steel anchors remain, dug up from the mud.
Odisha State Museum, Bhubaneswar
In 1655, The Batavia Council of the VOC decided to increase the importance of Bengal trade. This worked out very well, and as Houghly grew, the factory at Pipely became less important, and was abolished eventually. So there is hardly anything left to remind us, because the river had changed course so much, that the harbour soon sank into the mud (5).
Remains at Olandaz Sahi, Baleshwar: landing stage at the former warehouse: excavated in 1990-1991 by OIMSEAS (6); channel dug to and from the Burhabalanga river.
After 1991 the rest of Olanda Sahi was torn down, and replaced. Mainly, the study by OIMSEAS concerned the wreck of a small transport boat buried at the landing stage. Maybe the boat was overloaded, as the Dutch were vacating the place, but no one knows for sure. The boat and its contents had rotten away. No other structures and memories of the Dutch remained; except for the name of the ward where some traders, guards and other employees once lived or visited.

TrueLayer's Payments API lets companies accept payments through Open Banking
Steve O'Hear	@sohear / 12 months
Open Banking and PSD2 — groundbreaking regulation from the U.K. and European Union, respectively — set out to fix what politicians and civil servants perceived as a malfunctioning financial services market, evidenced most prominently by the banking crisis in 2008. It is also closely linked to the EU's privacy directive GDPR, which aims to ensure citizens are given better access and use of their own personal data.
Central to Open Banking is a requirement that banks open up the data they hold and offer an API to let customers optionally share financial information with third-party providers. The idea, amongst other more innovate use cases, is to make it easier to shop around for financial services or to switch banks entirely.
In addition, a second aspect of Open Banking, which arguably targets the Visa-Mastercard duopoly, stipulates that banks offer an API to let customers authorise payments directly from their bank account as an alternative to other types of payments, such as card payments or manual bank transfers.
Enter TrueLayer, the London startup that's built a developer platform to make it easy for fintech and other adjacent companies, such as retailers, to access bank APIs and in turn ride the Open Banking and PSD2 gravy train. Today, the young company is launching a beta of its own Open Banking-based Payments API to enable businesses to start accepting payments through Open Banking.
By using the payment initiation process created by PSD2, TrueLayer says its new API offers a number of benefits over other payments options.
First is immediate settlement, whereby cleared funds are received in just a few minutes, as with any bank-to-bank transfer that uses "Faster Payments."
Second is security, as the API requires active bank authentication before any money can leave the account. "This means high security and extremely low fraud rates," claims TrueLayer. That's not pure hyperbole: The nature of the payment initiation process, as stipulated by Open Banking, means the customer is required to sanction any payment request within their own bank's app or website. The user journey (shown in the video below) goes something like, "hey my bank, please make this one-off transfer on my behalf to X." The person or business receiving the payment never sees your bank details (or card details, for that matter).
Third is that it is cheaper, as payments do not have the high fees of card transactions.
Lastly, the user experience is arguably more streamlined than some other payments options, including traditional bank transfers. For example, customers do not need to manually type in a business' bank account number to transfer money to a business, as they would do for a manual bank transfer.
"Both businesses and consumers will benefit substantially, but I think the biggest winner will be merchants, application providers and SMBs," TrueLayer co-founder Francesco Simoneschi tells me when I ask him who the biggest benefactors will be.
"Faster Payments cuts the time it takes for a payment to come through from days to few seconds. This is a crucial factor for a lot of businesses where instant settlement and transaction risk are big concerns. Add to that the minimal costs involved to process a payment and our API will make a big difference in a short period of time. We think that many businesses will end up sharing these savings with their customers."
Simoneschi won't be drawn into saying who the biggest loser will be under the new payments directive, arguing that it isn't a "zero-sum game." "However, we do believe that payment initiation is disrupting the four-party model of the existing card networks," he adds.
That's because payment initiation is serviced via a direct relationship between the merchant and the customer's bank. And although Simoneschi doesn't think it will happen overnight, he believes that as merchants start to incentivize Open Banking payments for their customers, it is likely to quickly gain traction. One way for credit card companies to remain competitive, he says, is to embrace and enhance Open Banking payment initiation by adding services such as dispute management.
"It's also worth noting that banks generate a substantial amount of revenue from the fees involved in credit and debit card transactions," says Simoneschi. "These fees are paid for by merchants, and indirectly, by consumers. Reducing these transactions could sting the bottom line of some of the major banks. Another factor is how a few banks make money as the 'acquirer bank' — a bank that merchants use to receive and clear funds. PSD2 and Open Banking removes both parts of this equation, essentially making that role obsolete."
Meanwhile, asked what use cases are initially best-suited to this new payment method, Simoneschi says the most obvious is any scenario where payment is normally done via manual bank transfer. For example, services that require you to top up your account, such as international money transfer apps, cryptocurrency exchanges or even a pre-paid mobile phone account, are ideal candidates. He also thinks managing or facilitating B2B payments, such as payments requested by suppliers, is another extremely good fit.
Longer-term, however, that's barely scratching the surface. It's not hard to see large merchants, such as Amazon, embracing Open Banking in a big way so that they bypass Visa and Mastercard as much as possible. For those merchants with less deep pockets, services like TrueLayer over time will likely help them do the same. In other words, the payments space could be about to get interesting — again.

After 130 days in prison, IDF frees conscientious objector Tamar Alon
After 130 days in military prison, the Israeli army on Wednesday released conscientious objector Tamar Alon from mandatory service. Alon served six terms in military prison for her refusal to be conscripted, which she said would have contributed to the oppression of the Palestinian people. She had expressed her willingness to instead perform civilian national service, an alternative the army rejected.
"The price I paid is small compared to the price millions of Palestinians have been paying for 50 years, whose basic rights are violated on a daily basis and whose freedom has yet to be returned to them like mine was returned to me," Alon said upon being released from prison and military service.
This is an article by Yael Marom which appears on +972 Magazine.
Thailand: Interview with the conscientious objector Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal
During a War Resisters' International trip to Thailand last month we met Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal, a conscientious objector. Here's a short interview by WRI staff member Hannah Brock, talking with Netiwit about conscription and the role of the army in Thailand.

Israel: Activists refused to serve in the occupation
On November 16, Tamar Ze'evi and Tamar Alon declared their refusal to serve in the occupation at the IDF's Tel Hashomer induction base outside Tel Aviv. A military tribunal sentenced both to two days in prison (following which they will be brought back for another hearing, and possibly sentenced again). Many activists supported Ze'evi and Alon, and accompanied them to the military induction base.
Alongside their solidarity protests taking place as part of the International Week of Action Against the Militarisation of Youth, מסרבות (Mesarvot) -a network of Israeli organizations, groups and individuals who support political conscientious objectors- is also working on an international day of action to take place on 1st December.
Webinar: Countering the Militarisation of Youth: Examples of Resistance
Young peoples' experiences of the military, and exposure to militarist values, differ around the world. In this webinar, we gathered examples of everyday militarism from two countries, Israel and Germany, and discussed with activists about their strategies and campaigns to counter it.
Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg introduce mobile app "Draftee Online" to help draftees
The Android application "Draftee Online" is an aid to any draftee, whether he intends to do army service or has the right to an exemption.
The app provides advice based on the rich experience of the lawyers at the human rights organization Soldiers' Mothers of St Petersburg, who help draftees to figure out the most pressing and complex questions of the military draft, and to defend their rights independently.
"Draftee Online" is set up so that a young person who suffers a violation of the law can find a case related to his own situation and receive concrete recommendations as to the actions he can undertake to protect his rights.
The application describes the most frequent situations that draftees encounter, as well as giving templates of the necessary declarations and complaints.
The application unites a large number of useful functions, which every draftee should have at the ready:
Rejecting Militarization
Colombia is the only South American nation with an ongoing internal armed conflict where military service is obligatory, requiring all 18-year-old young men to serve for 1 to 2 years - with no option of an alternative civil service. The Collective Action of Conscientious Objectors (ACOOC) is committed to nonviolence and they educate and defend the rights of youth who object to serving in the military. ACOOC works towards demilitarization of society by using creative means such as films and street theatre to highlight the degree of militarization in Colombian society.

Colombia is the only South American nation with an ongoing internal armed conflict where military service is obligatory, requiring all 18-year-old young men to serve for one to two years - with no option of an alternative civil service. A military identification card is required to work in the public sector. Julián Ovalle and Alejandro Parra, of the Collective Action of Conscientious Objectors, describe their personal experience with forced recruitment and how it can be a nightmare for someone who has a fundamental objection to military service.

This is a simple application to get you started with Keycloak Authorization Services.

It provides a single page application which is protected by a policy enforcer that decides whether an user can access
that page or not based on the permissions obtained from a Keycloak Server.

## Create the Example Realm and a Resource Server

Considering that your Keycloak Server is up and running, log in to the Keycloak Administration Console.

Now, create a new realm based on the following configuration file:

    examples/authz/hello-world-authz-service/hello-world-authz-realm.json

That will import a pre-configured realm with everything you need to run this example. For more details about how to import a realm
into Keycloak, check the Keycloak's reference documentation.

After importing that file, you'll have a new realm called ``hello-world-authz``.

Now, let's import another configuration using the Administration Console in order to configure the client application ``hello-world-authz-service`` as a resource server with all resources, scopes, permissions and policies.

Click on ``Clients`` on the left side menu. Click on the ``hello-world-authz-service`` on the client listing page. This will
open the ``Client Details`` page. Once there, click on the `Authorization` tab.

Click on the ``Select file`` button, which means you want to import a resource server configuration. Now select the file that is located at:

    examples/authz/hello-world-authz-service/hello-world-authz-service.json

Now click ``Upload`` and the resource server will be updated accordingly.

## Deploy and Run the Example Application

To deploy the example application, follow these steps:

    cd examples/authz/hello-world-authz-service
    mvn clean package wildfly:deploy

Now, try to access the client application using the following URL:

    http://localhost:8080/hello-world-authz-service

If everything is correct, you will be redirect to Keycloak login page. You can login to the application with the following credentials:

* username: jdoe / password: jdoe
* username: alice / password: alice

Case Study: Penn State University Empowers a Community of Innovators with MakerBot
Jun 22 - 2016 | | by MakerBot
About Penn State University Founded over 150 years ago, Pennsylvania State University is lauded worldwide as a respected leader in research, creative activity, and scholarship in higher education worldwide. This public research university relies on federal funding, grants, and private donations to provide quality education, tools, and resources for its 100,000 students. With undergraduate and graduate programs that rank globally each year, Penn State University is celebrated for its diverse curriculums and distinguished faculty. To achieve noteworthy breakthroughs in STEAM advancement, Penn State's students, faculty, and staff use innovative technology. Challenge: Access After observing 3D print success in a variety departments like Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Engineering, Penn State's Academic Technology department decided that every PSU student should have access to 3D printing. They wanted to create a dynamic 3D print experience that would encourage innovation and collaboration across all academic disciplines. But with 24 campuses sprinkled throughout Pennsylvania, and many students attending PSU's World Campus online, it's a challenge connecting students in different learning communities all over the world. They also sought to better serve their large population of commuter students who don't always have the convenience of visiting departments that house 3D printers. They wanted to ensure that these online and commuter students could receive the same learning experiences as those who live on campus. A Lab Built for All In February 2016, Penn State opened a Maker Commons, a new 3D printing lab on campus. The lab includes a MakerBot Innovation Center, which features 32 MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printers. Students can find the new lab in the Pattee Library at the PSU University Park campus. PSU's Educational Technology Services (ETS) team used MakerBot's on-site training to equip their multimedia specialists with the knowledge to assist students and faculty. Staff, faculty, and students at Penn State University can enjoy 3D printing with Maker Commons. The lab was created with the intention of giving students the freedom to do whatever they want. "We've allowed for experimentation and exploration, not being controlled what was being printed. This allows students completely new to 3D printing to learn the technology while using it 'just for fun,' and then progress onto designing projects for class," explains Ryan Wetzel, Manager of Maker Commons and Media Commons. A New Reality for Students and Staff Ordering a 3D print from the MakerBot Innovation Center is easy. Pattee Library has an intercampus library material delivery system that it's using to ship 3D prints. A student simply uploads a 3D design on the Maker Commons website. From there, the design will be added to a queue of print projects waiting to be completed. When it's done printing, the print is sent through the library delivery system. Students can then pick up their print wherever they requested to have it shipped. The PSU library relies on its relationship with various courier systems to make this happen. By making it so easy to order, request, and receive new prints, the school has made it convenient for students of all majors, residencies, degree levels, and disciplines to enjoy access to 3D printing. Maker Commons was also designed to appeal to faculty. Librarians and ETS directors hosted an event called "Make It" for faculty interested in learning how to include 3D printing in their curriculum. "They got to learn firsthand what some of the possibilities are," says Kyle Bowen, ETS Director of Teaching and Learning with Technology. "We're already starting to see that kind of faculty engagement pay dividends, even as early as we are in this process." After learning how easy it is to incorporate 3D print innovation into their curriculums, PSU educators have started to think outside of the box and try new things. Students and faculty also have the freedom to 3D scan and recreate old, hard-to-find objects from the library's special collections database. "They're rare and we want to show them off, but they've never been part of the curriculum because you don't want them handled," shares Joe Salem, Associate Dean for Learning, Undergraduate Services, and Commonwealth Campus Libraries. He believes that re-creating these objects gives educators the freedom to help students think creatively about what 3D printing can do and how it can add new dimension to their learning. Projects That Challenge and Motivate Professors are using the MakerBot Innovation Center to add depth and creativity to coursework. One PSU engineering professor gave a class of 300 students a design challenge that explores buoyancy. Students were tasked with designing and printing a boat that could hold a large number of pennies. Maker Commons printed about 100 different iterations of boats. "These students were able to apply that [STEAM] thinking to something they could physically engineer. It was a design challenge for which they could get immediate feedback. They were able to essentially develop those skills they could apply to design problems in the future," Bowen explains. Essentially, this sort of dynamic STEAM learning experience will prepare them for challenges in their future careers. It's a project that challenged them, inspired them, and motivated their growth as future innovators. New Convenience for Campus Innovators Even students that already had access to 3D printing on campus enjoy the convenience of Maker Commons. Mitchell Lester, a sophomore on the Penn State Lunar Lion Team, had been using his access to various facilities and labs on campus to help the group achieve their goals with 3D printing. The team has a mission to land a spacecraft on the moon. They typically use their MakerBot Replicator 2X, a MakerBot Replicator 2, and a MakerBot Replicator Z18 to make prototypes, print specific parts, and create battery casings and jigs to assemble new models. Maker Commons has helped the team expedite the production of new parts and cut down on the time it takes to train new members. "We'll send new members of our program to Maker Commons to get them up to speed. We don't have to spend our time familiarizing freshmen with 3D printing," Lester says. The Lunar Lion Team attracts students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, exposing many to in-depth engineering experimentation for the first time. "Additive manufacturing gives students a balanced idea of what actually goes into making the first product and getting it to the market. Our MakerBots help with that," Lester says. With rapid prototyping capabilities available in Maker Commons, engineering teams like Lunar Lions have the chance to experience real-world manufacturing and design. Similarly, students in other disciplines can use Maker Commons to test out ideas, print designs, kick off their startups, and more. Over 18,000 Hours and Counting Since its opening, Maker Commons has boosted creativity and collaboration within the PSU community. According to Ryan Wetzel, the lab has yielded over 18,000 hours of print time and over 2,000 successful prints since the MakerBot Innovation Center opened 3 months ago. This high demand of prints and heightened passion for 3D printing throughout campus is a testament to the true depth of service it provides for students. Penn State is interested in adding on another MakerBot Innovation Center or two in the near future. As the popularity of the service continues to expand, the current lab will shift to becoming a larger incubator for entrepreneurship and research. Pennsylvania State University will continue to empower, challenge, and motivate its community of 21st century innovators with 3D printing.

Q: How to convert custom class pointer to unsigned int I need to type cast custom class pointer to unsigned int value. Here is what I tired.
Class A{
};

int main()
{
A* a = foo();
unsigned int handler = reinterpret_cast<unsigned int>(a);
return 0;
}

It gives the warning
warning C4302: 'reinterpret_cast': truncation from 'A *' to 'unsigned int'
What it the proper way to overcome this in C++ way

A: The error may imply that you're compiling to a 64 bit target, in which case a pointer a 64 bit, which reinterpret_cast'd to int means truncation (because int is atmost 32 bit).
Not sure what you're going to do with the handler, but the safer way is to cast to uintptr_t if c++11 is available.
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/integer
With <cstdint> included, it should be something like,
uintptr_t handler = reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(a);

Philanthropy doesn't need to be complicated nor does it require great wealth. We found a way to participate in giving back to the community we love that's convenient, financially comfortable and personally rewarding. We chose to use life insurance as our way to give back for the education and community services that were provided to us over our life time. We took out a $100,000 life insurance policy and named the CCF as the beneficiary and the irrevocable owner of the policy. By working with the Minnesota Community Foundation and our financial advisor, we were able to find a way that will create future unrestricted funds for the foundation and leave a legacy.
Both of us graduated with the Class of 1968 and personally received 26 years (K-12 X 2) of education that currently is valued at about $12,000 per year. So, it seemed right for us to try to repay a part of what our parents, grandparents, and citizens of Chisholm had invested in us. The community of Chisholm provided a great place to raise our two children. Chisholm is a special place with a bright future. We liked the fact that we are contributing to sustain the community by providing resources to make it even better!

Q: Using StackingClassifier with train/test split instead of CV I've been experimenting with StackingClassifiers lately, and usually it's used with cross-validation (default: K-fold, num-folds = 5). That's written like so:
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split, RandomizedSearchCV, KFold

X, y = load_breast_cancer(return_X_y=True, as_frame=True)

model = StackingClassifier(estimators=[
        ('tree', Pipeline([('tree', DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42))])),
        ('knn', Pipeline([('knn', KNeighborsClassifier())])),
    ],final_estimator = final_estimator, n_jobs = 10, passthrough = False, cv = KFold())

model.fit(X, y)

which works just fine. However, k-fold cross validation as a way to train a stacking classifier is really quite slow. Ideally i'd like to use to approach where 80% of the training data is used to train the component models, and the other 20% used to train the final_estimator. According to the docs, you can use an iterator that yields a train-test split as an input to cv (Cross Validation) (which is wonky because it's no longer CV). So I suppose two part question

*

*Is it possible to use StackingClassifier to work in this way, where it's not using cross-validation(CV) at all but a train/test split (mostly to speed up fitting)?

*If so, how would this look? what would i set as my input to cv?

One other note. Looking through potential CV options in the user guide ShuffleSplit with nsplits=1 seemed like a good option, and i tried it.
model = StackingClassifier(estimators=[
        ('tree', Pipeline([('tree', DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42))])),
        ('knn', Pipeline([('knn', KNeighborsClassifier())])),
    ],final_estimator = final_estimator, n_jobs = 10, passthrough = False, cv = ShuffleSplit(n_splits=1))

model.fit(X, y)

But unfortunately that doesnt work and throws an error:
ValueError: cross_val_predict only works for partitions

A: From the Stacked Classifier page of sklearn, it states that "... estimators_ are fitted on the full X while final_estimator_ is trained using cross-validated predictions of the base estimators using cross_val_predict."
I think if you would like to use 80%-20% based traditional trainig-testing approach, you should do that outside of the StackedClassifier. The primary reason is to keep the process consistent with how would want to use Stacked Classifier per the documented note above.
I have done this and my pipeline / setup descriptively looked as follows. I did not mind the extra time in doing the training-testing with each classifier since the StackedClassifier was processed more efficiently for the final  classifier:

*

*Run individual classifiers (KNN, Decision Tree, Random Forests, Naive Bayes etc) with 70%-30% / 80%-20% split. Find the best parametrization.

*Setup StackedClassifier where each classifier is fit with the best parameters that you identified with whole data (no splits at this stage)

*Check and validate the results of the final classifier relative to the performance of individual classifiers.

I think the extra time taken is unavoidable, since you are introducing an extra step of splitting data for your individual classifiers. For your final classifier CV stage, even if you do a split, the final model input should be run on whole data for maximum efficiency for the individual and final clssifiers.

A: The fastest speedup you can get is with KFold(n_splits=2):
model = StackingClassifier(estimators=[
        ('tree', Pipeline([('tree', DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42))])),
        ('knn', Pipeline([('knn', KNeighborsClassifier())])),
    ],final_estimator = final_estimator, n_jobs = 10, passthrough = False, cv = KFold(n_splits=2))

cv param only accepts "partitions" or "partitioners" ("by defintion" as they say). They are KFold(), StratifiedKFold, but not ShuffleSplit or train_test_split.
Partitioners:
n =5
x = range(90,100)
cv = KFold(n_splits=n).split(x)

for i,j in cv:
    print("TRAIN:",i,"TEST",j)
TRAIN: [2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] TEST [0 1]
TRAIN: [0 1 4 5 6 7 8 9] TEST [2 3]
TRAIN: [0 1 2 3 6 7 8 9] TEST [4 5]
TRAIN: [0 1 2 3 4 5 8 9] TEST [6 7]
TRAIN: [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] TEST [8 9]

Non-partitioners:
n =5
x = range(90,100)
# cv = KFold(n_splits=n).split(x)
cv = ShuffleSplit(n_splits=n, train_size=.8).split(x)

for i,j in cv:
    print("TRAIN:",i,"TEST",j)
TRAIN: [7 9 0 1 6 4 8 3] TEST [2 5]
TRAIN: [3 2 7 0 8 4 6 1] TEST [5 9]
TRAIN: [5 1 8 7 4 0 2 6] TEST [9 3]
TRAIN: [7 1 5 8 6 9 4 0] TEST [2 3]
TRAIN: [7 0 3 2 6 1 5 9] TEST [4 8]


I think that there's no doubt that practically anybody who's been a few years around knows that Bruce Lee is a one-of-a-kind legend, icon and extremely charismatic person that influenced and changed the whole world of martial arts. It was thanks to him that there's so many people dedicated to study different fighting styles. I'd say that practically all of your new favorite TV stars that play in the action movies as fighters, as well as UFC competitors or martial arts enthusiasts in general would admit that the reason why they got so crazy about their training is the influence of Bruce Lee. There's actually even a term for that – "Bruce Lee Effect".
In 1964, hew was challenged to a duel by Wong Jack Man, a disciple of a very traditional branch of Chinese martial arts. At stake was everything as he promised to close his fighting school when losing this battle. Even though Bruce won within 3 minutes, he was so strict with himself that he considered it too long and later radically changed his teaching and training methods.
I know that you've probably seen a lot of shots where you could admire his talent and skills, but this one is different – I promise. In the following video you'll see him doing tricks you wouldn't normally expect. When I saw it I just thought to myself that the video just proved it requires more than just some specific skills to get on the level he was – it's actually the whole mindset and life attitude that allowed him to become a legend.

How to calibrate a monitor?
How to calibrate your monitor?
Now that you are convinced about the importance of calibrating your monitor with a colorimeter, I am going to help you do it through this page, and especially to help you choose the right target values (gamma, color temperature, brightness...) according to whether you have purchased a medium or high-end screen.
In the first part dedicated to monitor calibration, in the previous page, we defined important notions and vocabulary, such as calibration/gauging and characterization. We saw that these two steps are part of calibration in a general way.
In this second part, I will now try to show you why you should calibrate your monitor with a colorimeter and not to the naked eye from a random print for instance, and then explain the settings and ideal values to use to calibrate your screen according to your use of it.
Monitor calibration : with or without colorimeter?
And it is unable to "read" an L*a*b* color without having any comparison support.
Considering these two reasons, it is impossible to perform a good calibration to the naked eye. You could possibly approach something not too bad, especially on a very good screen but not more. And to close this old debate forever: defects are never linear. Your monitor is never too magenta on the whole spectrum but only between one brightness value and another. So no chance to correct a grayscale with such a local area of color predominance.
The correction curves of the RGB signals of a display after calibration: the three curves are not linear and vary according to the brightness level of each RGB channel. So you MUST CALIBRATE with a colorimeter!
Possibility to calibrate a video projector.
Each equipment will be distinguished by its number of settings, its number of calibration modes - basic and advanced - and by its reports at the end of calibration, rather than by the quality of its colorimeter - difficult to assess at home, by the way.
If you consider that we are using the fourth generation of screen calibration colorimeters of very good value for money nowadays, you can certainly assume that the overall quality of colorimeters - 4 recent models today - is completely satisfying, except for two models: the Spyder4Express and Colormunki Smile that I would not recommend to photographers. However, depending on the price, we still see large differences in adjustment possibilities.
Colorimeters with glass or gelatin filters?
And think that X-Rite is releasing its Eye One Display II again, disguised into Colormunki Smile, while precisely, it has gelatin filters???
The current Datacolor and X-Rite colorimeters have organic glass (plastic!) mass tinted filters. They are, in essence, less accurate than gelatin filters but significantly more resistant to the passage of time (and of better quality in the latest Spyder5 version from Datacolor).
After installing the profile creation software and the colorimeter on your computer, quite simply as you'll see, you will thus have to calibrate your screen using the said colorimeter, also used for gauging. Your monitor should be turned on for at least 15 minutes before performing any calibration. If not functionning at the right temperature, colors may change slightly even when if it seems imperceptible to the eye. The colorimeter, as for itself, will see the difference!
2 - Choose the right backlight technology... or let it happen!
Sometimes, the screen calibration software asks you to indicate the backlight technology of the screen (CCFL, Diode, etc...) if it cannot detect it automatically. Depending on this technology, the color matrix (the short calculation basis) used by the software will be different and will influence the calibration. However, this is all the more true since the 1.6 version of i1 Profiler from X-Rite and the recent high-end displays. As I explain on my blog during the BenQ PG2401PT review, the famous Delta E can go from 2.73 to 0.84 !!!!
Note at the beginning of 2018! The latest software updates do the job very well automatically.
The first important point is to set the black and white points of your monitor. Your colorimeter will then be used as a calibration tool. If the monitor is set too dark, the details in the shadows will be lost and if the monitor is too bright the colors will look washed out and it won't be possible to correct them properly. In addition, there will be no correspondence between the image displayed and the one printed.
It is thus important that you can distinguish a difference between a pixel at 0 and a pixel at 2 or 3 on your calibrated monitor, and this is also true for high values. Why?
Reminder! Don't look for a setting that would show a difference between a pixel at 254 level and one at 255, because it would mean that you're able to see a difference of 1/255 which is impossible because the most sensitive eyes see a difference of 1/200. If it is technically possible for the monitor to display such a difference, it means that other values are not properly set.
The ideal brightness for a monitor lies between 80 and 140 Cd/m², depending on the luminosity of your work environment or on the destination of your photos: rather 80/100 Cd/m² if you print and 120/140 cd/m² if you only display them on the web. To properly set black point AND white point at the same time, you must adjust your monitor's brightness AND contrast. The brightness setting is used to adjust the white point and the joint contrast setting is used to adjust the black point and the dynamics between the two. Choose "native contrast" if you work without printing and prefer "287-1" if you print very regularly in a "controlled" light environment. This contrast ratio is that of the eye when looking at a print.
Tip! On laptop monitors - see this page for recommendations more specific to their calibration -, you can not perform manual contrast adjustment. So it has to be performed automatically. Hopefully the new generation of calibration colorimeters Spyder5Pro, Spyder5Elite, Colormunki Display and i1Display Pro all have this functionality. If you have an older colorimeter, it will be a huge improvement for you to replace it.
Be careful if you calibrate a laptop or an iMac!
Indeed, these computers always activate by default in their monitor preferences the "Automatic brightness" option, which must absolutely be deactivated BEFORE starting the calibration.
A - Gamma : Depending on the colorimeter you will use, it is possible to choose the targeted gamma. In absolute terms, you should now target 2.2, but if your calibration software allows it, you can also try the L Star curve, especially if you regularly print your photos. Finally, if you calibrate with a high-end calibrator and software, you will have the option of choosing between 1.6 and 2.4 in 0.1 increments. I advise you to try on two or three values around 2.2 and see with which gradient of your monitor is the most beautiful. With the so-called Art-graphic screens, try the L* curve, the most natural on paper although there is not a very large difference with the gamma 2.2. Personally, on my Eizo CS240 I preferred 2.2.
B - ICC V2 or V4 standard - Even today (early 2018), it is very important for an amateur who discovers color management or even more (!) to choose the V2 standard, especially in a Windows environment, when your calibration software offers you to choose this standard, either during the calibration process (X-Rite) or in the software preferences (Datacolor). Indeed, when you leave or choose the V4 standard, the photos will be too dark in the Windows viewer for example. Obviously, an informed user will be able to choose the V4 with full knowledge of the facts because he will not be surprised by this darkening in some software... that he will not use a priori!
The last important point is the color temperature of the monitor, or more precisely of its white point. When you display a white in Photoshop (255, 255, 255) does it really look white or is it displayed as a warm white that is to say a little yellow or is it displayed as a cold white that is to say slightly blue? At 9,300 K, default factory setting for most monitors that are not graphic art ones, the monitor is too bright and cold (too blue). For many monitors around £600/£1,100, the factory setting is around 6,500 K.
The ideal target value is therefore between 5,000 K and 6,500 K, 6,500 K being the traditional color temperature of the light on a sunny day.
Important! 5,000 K is the default setting for the pre-press world as quality print controls are made at 5,000 K. This value has to be chosen with graphic art monitors most of the time, and even a bit more if you have multiple monitors and they are not all of the same quality, as you will never reach 5,000 K with these more conventional monitors. The Pre-Press world has to work with high-end displays for this reason.
However, if your screen is not set at 5000 K by design, you will never be able to reach this value - without weird defects - with a screen manufactured to work at 6500 K or worse at 9300 K. At 5000 K, your screen will look frankly yellow and strange! So with all other displays, I recommend targeting between 5500 and 6500 K with a preference for 6000 and 6500 K. I think it is also more natural when you look at your prints under a natural light or spotlights. No exhibition is lit with 5,000 K cabins and let us not forget that this standard is used to standardize the production of books, not photo exhibitions!
It is important to know that ultimately, the choice is of no real importance as long as color temperature is selected priorily to the characterization of the monitor. 5,000 K indeed corresponds to the D50 illuminant for pre-press, but D65 (6,500 K) is more natural since it corresponds to the daylight we are used to for the 4,000 years. The final choice is yours, depending on your work habits and tastes. Note that the monitor will still get worn out a little bit slower when used at 6,500 K because the gap with the factory default settings is less important. Personally, I like adjusting my color temperature between 6,000 K and 6,500 K.
Some models of calibration colorimeters enable to measure the ambient light in order to perfect brightness level adjustment. Why not, if this one does not change too much and remains in a stable lightened environment, otherwise why bother? You will find really few color management specialists to tell you that it is essential, at least with old colorimeters, since new generation ones as Colormunki Display make this measurement process mandatory. Also note that it is possible, in those circumstances, to ask the software to measure ambient light regularly and automatically. Real progress or gadget, we will see... Personally, I do not like it because in some cases the solution is worse than the initial problem, especially if your room is lit with fluocompact lamps at night.
My recommendation! Don't activate this function of ambient light measurement.
The next calibration step, called characterization, will happen without your intervention. The colorimeter is required again. Depending on the calibration software you use, a parameter that does not depend on you but on the colorimeter's manufacturer, you will see on your monitor many colored patches, more or less numerous, that the colorimeter will now measure in order to reveal the gamut of your monitor and its color characteristics - else said, its defects! -. This phase highly depends on the quality of your calibration and the quality of the filters inside the colorimeter. Spyder3Express and Pro or Elite version don't have the same, although they're all made by Datacolor. In addition to that, with the colorimeter control program, they determine the quality of the process.
Finally, you just have to check visually if everything seems to have gone well and above all, give a name to the ICC profile of your monitor that day. Your monitor is now calibrated!
8 - Last remark: what happens if you use a secondary screen on a laptop?
You can of course calibrate two displays even from a laptop computer - that of your computer and a secondary display - but it is in use that the difference will be felt compared to a desktop computer (and again, even in this case there may be strange surprises depending on the graphics card).
In short, laptop graphics cards cannot handle two ICC profiles at the same time! You will therefore have to work either on the screen of your calibrated laptop or on the secondary screen. You can choose from your computer's color preferences. It goes without saying that the other screen, which will actually use an ICC profile that does not belong to it, will be in trouble!
2 - Create a rectangular selection (shortcut M) in the middle of your window, about 150 to 200 pixels wide.
3 - Hide this selection with CMD+H (CTRL+H).
4 - Créez un calque de réglages Courbes.
a) For black point (on a black background): click on the bottom left part of the curve to display the input and output fields. Set 3 as output value and have a look at the zone of your selection at the center of your screen. If you can see a slight difference appearing, it is OK, otherwise, your monitor is too contrasted. You need to try to calibrate your monitor with a lower contrast value.
b) For white point control (on a white background): click on the top right part of the curve to display the input and output fields..
Put 252/253 instead of 255 as output value and do the same check on the central part of your monitor, in the selection area. You must see a slightly greyish rectangle appear. The selection rectangle is brighter by two or three luminosity levels if you check black point and very light grey, distinct from white, if you check white point.
Type twice the F key and then Tab. This will display your document in fullmonitor without the tool bars and menus, therefore without any window that could mislead your observation of black or very light grey.
In your work environment, if your monitor is set properly, you should see the rectangle slightly lighter if you perform the control for blacks and slightly grey if you perform the control for whites.
This checking process is valid with all the calibration procedures and works very well.
3 - Pull the gradient from the top left to bottom right. The monitor should fill with a nice gradient... it should!
Possible tone breakings, sometimes colored ones, indicating a bad calibration or the limits of your monitor.
A nice progressive gradient from black to white. Often, the black or white proportion is too high, indicating you a wrong choice of brightness, contrast or GAMMA values.
Tone breakings are highly visible and characterize a low-quality panel.
Finally, I recommend to perform calibration three or four times a year, the first three years, when the monitor is doing well and maybe a little more often then. I stopped calibrating every week long ago!
One exception: professional editors will do it every week or before each important session of edits, but they have a contractual obligation to work on the best monitors and a regular calibration is compulsory, to "make sure".
Calibrate your monitor visually is delirious nowadays! Buy a good colorimeter from $170 on.
The eye, as a tool, is excellent for a comparison job, but terrible without a reference!
2 - The brightness of your room.
When trying to obtain a good match between your screen and your print run, it is common to recommend working between 80-100 Cd/m². This is the case in a rather weak, muffled lighting environment. However, if you work in a bright environment, you will have to increase the luminance of your screen, sometimes clearly. In fact, what matters is only the search for a good match between the two.
It is true that with the same lighting environment, if you work mainly for the Internet then you can choose a higher luminance, 120-140 Cd/m² being often quoted.
Choose the ICC V2 standard (and not the V4 often checked by default in recent screen calibration software) if you use, for example, the Windows viewer, otherwise your photos will be too dark. Those who know why and how to use the V4 standard will obviously not follow this advice!
Choose a colour temperature of 5800/6500 K: on the vast majority of displays, this often represents a very nice compromise, very slightly "hot" at 5800K.
Note! Not all calibration devices enable to choose 5,500 K or 6,500 K.
Choose "Native contrast" if you work a lot on the Internet and "287:1" if you print a lot; the correspondence between the blacks in your images and those in the print run will then be very close.
Do not always check ambient light:because if your room has low consumption lamps, the light spectrum is not uniform and the automatic correction of the ICC profile will be a disaster!
If you're an amateur photographer, or even a professional but you're not a professional editor, you can calibrate your monitor only 3/4 times a year. However, if you're demanding hence on a top-range monitor, a very regular calibration will always be recommended (just in case!).
