Lazarus Straus, son of Isaac and Johanette Straus, was born in Otterberg Germany in 1809. He was the oldest of fourteen. In 1838 he married a cousin, Davora (Fannie) Levi. The couple had one daughter, Karoline. Fanny died in 1843 and Lazarus married his first cousin Sara the following year. They had five children, Isidor, Hermine, Nathan, Jakob Otto and Oscar. Jakob died when he was a year and a half.
Following the Revolution of 1848 and the economic difficulties that ensued, Lazarus immigrated to the United States in 1852. He arrived in Philadelphia but was persuaded that rural Georgia would provide better opportunities. The Kaufman brothers who were in Oglethorpe GA, set him up as a pushcart peddler. Peddlers not only brought necessary goods to the plantation owners and their families, they also brought news from one widely distributed plantation to the others. On Court Day in the county seat of Talbotton, Lazarus found the place he wanted to settle. He opened a dry goods store and by 1854 he felt sufficiently successful to send for his family. When Lazarus and Sara immigrated to the United States, Lazarus' teenage daughter Karoline decided to stay in Germany with relatives.
Isidor's privately published autobiography gives us a glimpse into their lives in Talbotton and later in Columbus GA where they moved in 1863. The Strauses became successful merchants. At the close of the Civil War, Columbus was burned and Lazarus decided to move his family north. They settled in New York, opening L. Straus & Sons, importers of china, porcelain, glassware and crockery. In 1873 Nathan convinced Rowland H. Macy to allow them to open a concession in the basement of Macy's store on 14th Street. By 1884 the Strauses were part owners and by 1896 they were sole owners of R. H. Macy's & Co.
Isidor continued to run Macy's until his death, along with that of his wife Ida, on the "Titanic" in 1912. He served in the House of Representatives in 1894-5 and was a founder of The Educational Alliance in New York City. He belonged to many philanthropic organizations and was active in city politics.
Hermine married Lazarus Kohns of Coblenz Germany. Lazarus became a vice president of L. Straus & Sons where he was highly respected by all. As was the custom of the day, Hermine did not participate in the family business. Instead, she cared for her chldren and her widowed father Lazarus. She hosted Sunday dinners at her home for all family members who were in town. Hermine cared for Lazarus during his final days and was lauded by all for her nurturing and compassion.
Nathan used his boundless energies to develop outside sources for the family business. He traveled to Europe on buying trips where he met and married Lina Gutherz. He became interested in the pasteurization of milk after a cow on his farm died of TB. He built and paid for pasteurization laboratories first in New York, then all over the US and finally around the world. He built a TB "Preventorium" and became a Zionist during the early part of the 20th century. He built the Jerusalem Health Center and labored for the Hebrew University. He was Commissioner of Parks in NYC and head of the Department of Health.
Oscar had little interest in merchandising and, with the support of his brothers, became a lawyer. He served as Minister to Constantinople, Ambassador to Turkey, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, a founder and president of the American Jewish Historical Society and was a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague. He was the author for several books including Roger Williams, The Pioneer of Religious Liberty and Under Four Administrations.

How to Download iMovie for PC (Windows 10/8/7)
An Apple's roll-out for MAC and iOS, iMovie is a well-reckoned video editing software, bearing specifications that are best by a country mile. It is certainly a big hoot for those who have been casting their net around to get applications that could bring them a 'wow' end product in terms of clean, jerk-free and quality edits. iMovie, the application, has hit a bumper success by surpassing all pre-drawn levels of visual briskness and delectability, notched up by other pieces of software in the markets. Today, it has positioned itself as an indisputable leader in the arena of video editing, and we are totally convinced of its excellence of the motives.
iMovie for windows has been having a lubricated sail in the business ever since its launch day for providing a better elbow room to perform customary operations like merging, cropping and splitting the movable video clips. Besides this, its free availability to users is an added bonus.

Why iMovie is a Great Find?
Given a remarkable pick-up in the social media use, and a greater relevance attached to the mass media products, there has been a full-figure increase in the numbers of video editing software. This eventually brings us to the dilemma of choosing the best out of the rest, and the very same juncture brings us to the realization that iMovie is an all-perfect creation.
iMovie fro windows scores a hundred by whittling down the time spent on reading the to-do guides and internet assistance sections that may choke one's brain passages. This application is easier to operate, and is sure to give users the ultimate chill when it comes to its applying mechanics. Not only does the application offer facility to edit and watch videos, but also enables users to share it with their counterparts.
Creating slideshows and representations is a pushover on iMovie, as the concerned setup requires a midget effort. The enhancement of the video clips happens under the spread of professional filters, such as Chroma Key, Color Balance, Denoise and so on. There is a wide assortment of transitions as well, which are highly customizable and easy-to-add.
Trending : Vainglory for PC
Downloading iMovie for PC
The thin possibilities of downloading iMovie for PC may turn users pale, but it's definitely not the end of the road. Hope is the driver, and we should keep ourselves moving for the best and the desirable.
VMware and parallel desktop programs are the suggested open routes to access the application on PC. However, the fact that they are paid programs might make users a bit reluctant to use them. Plus, these programs also entail the use of dual boot feature.
While these options may take the downloading task down in the dumps, there are a plenty of other alternatives to iMovie that brilliantly fill the shoes, such as Movavi Video Editor, Final Cut Pro X, iMotion HD and Magix Movie Edit Pro 18. Bring any of these substitutes in use, and we're sure that you aren't going to lament the unavailability of iMovie for PC any longer. We wish you tons of good luck!
iMovie Features
iMovie's timeline is well replete with special effects and tailor-made templates, making this application highly effective in enhancing the quality of the videos. Not to mention, the availability of online tutorials is an instant heart-digger.
Broadcasting comes easy with iMovie, courtesy the access to a raft of sharing and airing options.
iMovie hits the nail with its file transferring mechanism. Users can instantly transport files from one system to another using FireWire, and all they need is a workable USB port.
Apple INC has recently unveiled the updated iMovie 10.0.8, which, as expected, is powerpacked with phenomenal features that may take one's fascination to the most productive lands.
iMovie for pc draws a functional parallelism between itself and the social media tools. Users are provided with opportunities of sharing their edited clips directly on social networks, like Twitter and Facebook.
DVD or CD burn is doable.

CNN Poll: Nearly Half Say Obama Won Showdown
Posted By roneepowell
Give a slight edge to President Barack Obama.
Forty-six percent of voters who watched Tuesday night's presidential debate said that the president won the showdown, according to a CNN/ORC International nationwide poll conducted right after Tuesday night's faceoff here at Hofstra University on New York's Long Island. Thirty-nine percent questioned said Republican nominee Mitt Romney did the better job.
Obama's seven-point advantage came among a debate audience that was somewhat more Republican than the country as a whole and is within the survey's sampling error.
The president's edge on the question of who won the debate appears to be the result of his much better than expected performance and his advantage on likeability. But the poll also indicates that debate watchers said Romney would do a better job on economic issues. And the two candidates were tied on an important measure – whether the showdown would affect how the debate watchers will vote. Nearly half said the debate did not make them more likely to vote for either candidate, with the other half evenly divided between both men.
Tuesday night's poll only reflects the view of voters who watched the debate, not the views of all Americans. The reactions of all voters across the country to the second presidential debate must wait until polls are conducted in the coming days.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Cleanthony Early scored 23 points, including 12 of the 21 Wichita State scored in the second half, to help the fourth-ranked Shockers stay unbeaten with a 57-45 victory over Loyola of Chicago on Tuesday night.
Wichita State (22-0, 9-0 Missouri Valley Conference) saw a 22-point second-half lead trimmed to nine in the game's final minutes but hung on to extend school records for winning streak and start to a season. The Shockers shot 23 percent (6 of 26) in the second half.
Freshman Milton Doyle scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half for Loyola (8-13, 3-6).
The Shockers outrebounded Loyola 44-28.
Consecutive 3-pointers from Ron Baker and Early pushed Wichita State's lead to 42-20 early in the second half, but the Shockers made only two of their next 18 shots.
Doyle's three-point play with 2:27 left shaved the lead to 52-43, but four free throws by Anthony and a dunk by Darius Carter sealed the victory.
No. 7 MICHIGAN ST. 71, No. 15 IOWA 69, OT
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Keith Appling scored 16 points and Michigan State handed Iowa its first home loss of the season.
Matt Costello had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Spartans (19-2, 8-1 Big Ten), who avoided consecutive defeats despite missing injured starters Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson.
Costello's tip-in with 1:14 left gave Michigan State a 67-64 lead, and Russell Byrd's 3 with 34 seconds put Michigan State up by six.
Iowa still had a chance to force a second overtime, but Mike Gesell missed a driving layup at the buzzer.
Roy Devyn Marble had 21 points for Iowa (16-5, 5-3), which went without a field goal for the final 10 minutes of regulation and until the final seconds of the 5-minute overtime.
The Hawkeyes had a chance to win in regulation, but Marble missed a runner just before the buzzer. The Hawkeyes didn't hit a field goal from the 9:56 mark of the second half until Marble's layup with 6 seconds left in OT.
LSU 87, No. 11 KENTUCKY 82
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – Johnny O'Bryant III had 29 points and nine rebounds, and LSU led wire-to-wire.
Jordan Mickey scored 14 points and blocked five shots for LSU (13-6, 4-3 SEC), which blocked 11 shots and helped force 13 Kentucky turnovers.
Shavon Coleman added 14 points for the Tigers, who outshot the Wildcats 51 percent (32 of 63) to 44 percent (32 of 73).
James Young scored 23 points and Dakari Johnson had 15 for Kentucky (15-5, 5-2), which has lost all five of its games away from home, including two straight road games in the Southeastern Conference.
Aaron Harrison had 14 points and Alex Poythress added 10 for the Wildcats, who go right back on the road Saturday at Missouri.
No. 20 CREIGHTON 63, ST. JOHN'S 60
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Doug McDermott hit a 25-footer with 2.5 seconds left to finish his season-high 39-point night for Creighton, which squandered all of an 18-point lead.
The Red Storm had just tied the game on Rysheed Jordan's two free throws before McDermott took a pass from Jahenns Manigat on the left wing and got off his winning shot as Chris Obekpa tried to get a hand in his face. Phil Greene IV's desperation 3-point try at the buzzer didn't even touch the net.
D'Angelo Harrison scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half to lead St. John's. Obekpa and Jordan had 11 apiece and JaKarr Sampson added 10.
Winning for the 13th time in 14 games, the Bluejays (18-3, 8-1) stayed in first place in the Big East. St. John's (12-9, 2-6), playing in Omaha for the first time since 1966, had its three-game winning streak end.
Jordan made two free throws with 11.1 seconds left to set up McDermott's dramatic shot.
McDermott scored 10 points during a 17-1 spurt that bumped the Bluejays' lead to 46-28. The lead grew to 18 points before the Red Storm went on runs of 11-2 and 12-2.
McDermott finished 15 of 26 from the field, including 5 of 9 on 3s, and had six rebounds.

Blog: Our adversaries 'want to own us.' Are we capable of a whole-of-society approach to stop them?
By Chad Hemenway on March 2, 2020
By Chad Hemenway, Advisen
Some interesting things have occurred since our Cyber Risk Insights Conference in San Francisco and I am increasingly queasy the more I read and speak to experts.
One cannot consider cyber risk without being aware of the threats posed by nation states. But a new wave of troubling information is upon us. It is becoming increasingly apparent that we need to fight against cyberattacks together because our government agencies admit they can't do it alone. Are we prepared to do that? How?
The swell began at our conference earlier this month with Robert Anderson, former head of the FBI's Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch and current CEO of Cyber Defense Labs, telling us that the U.S. is not exactly approaching cyber risk with the intensity it should.
Read: U.S. way behind cyber threat, says former head of FBI cyber investigations
Following Anderson, and before I could catch my breath in San Francisco, I was reintroduced to Jarrett Kolthoff, a former special agent in U.S. Army Counterintelligence and CEO of SpearTip. He said he had a good piece of contributed content for me for Front Page News (We accept contributed content for FPN regularly. If you have something, send it my way. My email is below). Kolthoff was right, and he added a great deal to the conversation.
Read: Chinese leverage private data breaches for espionage
After arriving back on the East Coast, I was able to arrange a phone call with T. Casey Fleming, CEO of BlackOps Partners, a multi-disciplinary team of top-level, thought leaders from cybersecurity, national intelligence, national law enforcement, cyber law and management consulting.
You may remember, Fleming spoke at our Cyber Risk Insights Conference in London in March 2018.
In 2018, Fleming said: "Our adversaries are a lot better at intelligence than we are," Fleming said. We—places like the UK and US—are operating in tactical, maybe operational mode. Our Chinese, Russian and North Korean opponents are operating at the strategic level." He called what is happening now the "Cold War on steroids."
That was two years ago. I have some additional work to do to get all that Fleming has to say to our audience. But I want you revisit the blog post I wrote after Fleming's keynote two years ago.
Read: Looking the wrong way through a telescope at strategic ghosts
In an email prior to our recent call Fleming wrote to me: "Perhaps it's time for an update to the article?"
Fleming told me that our enemies "want to own us." He said we work off rules of international law. Countries like China, Russia, North Korea and others recognize no law in this regard – "unrestricted warfare," Fleming said. Anderson made a very similar point in San Francisco.
"We see the carnage every day," Fleming told me. "They want to defeat us – our democracy, capitalism, the free world – and their efforts have ramped up in an effort to accelerate our demise."
Fleming forwarded me these stories that I think our audience should read:
U.S. counterintelligence chief warns of broadening spy threat
Confronting the China Threat
And I also found this one: National Counterintelligence Plan Calls on 'Whole-of-Society' Approach to Tackle Emerging Threats
It's not a new term but get used to call for a "whole-of-society" approach to cybersecurity. In a statement released with a new report and strategy to combat a growing list of nation-state adversaries, National Counterintelligence and Security Center Director William Evanina said: "With the private sector and democratic institutions increasingly under attack, this is no longer a problem the U.S. government can address alone. It requires a whole-of-society response involving the private sector, an informed American public, as well as our allies."
Our federal authorities and intelligence agencies are telling us they can't fight this alone, because attacks against us are bigger than them. Are we ready to fight this together? Do we understand what that means?
Not long ago we found out Russia was already meddling in our election process. (Anderson in San Francisco told us, as he did to 60 Minutes a few weeks prior, that Russia never left after interfering with the 2016 election.) Russia wants to disrupt, disinform, cause chaos, control, inject doubt, get us to point fingers and watch us become divided.
During a recent conference on Capitol Hill, David Porter, an assistant section chief with the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force, said Russia wants to watch us "tear ourselves apart." Mission accomplished, no?
What is a whole-of-society approach look like when we've allowed our enemies to create such a chasm between us – when we do not trust each other because of their efforts?
It's something I've thought about recently thanks to our conference speakers and sources, and it's something we'll continue to stay on top of as we report, seek new speakers for our conferences and select stories for Front Page News because it appears our critical infrastructure, supply chains, intellectual property, economy and personal privacy are under attack more than ever.
As part of this whole-of-society approach, we welcome your perspectives and ideas. Email me with your thoughts and content.

A speech by Prince Harry at Youth Rally and Queen's Commonwealth Canopy dedication, St Kitts and Nevis
I feel so lucky to be visiting St Kitts and Nevis on behalf of The Queen
The Duke of Sussex
I feel so lucky to be visiting St Kitts and Nevis on behalf of The Queen. Her Majesty sends her best wishes to you all and is sorry not to be able to come personally.
On trips like this, I have the great privilege of meeting leaders and dignitaries from many fields. But what is most important to me, is having the chance to meet the young people of the countries I visit.
There is no better way to judge the future of a country then by spending time with its youth; taking the time to listen to what they have to say; and understanding their vision for the nation they will inherit.
Those performances showed that the young people of St Kitts and Nevis have creativity and energy in bounds - two qualities that will set you up for the future. Well done and thank you for sharing your talent with us all.
I am also really pleased to have the opportunity to thank the people of St Kitts and Nevis for committing the Central Forest Reserve to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy. My grandmother launched the Canopy project last year. All members of the Commonwealth have agreed to donate forested lands to this international environmental network.
Your contribution is incredibly generous. Not only will it encourage more visitors to this beautiful place, but will also give people around the Commonwealth the opportunity to learn about your forests and the ways you protect them. The forests we see behind us are truly amazing - thank you so much for contributing them to this project in the year of The Queen's 90th birthday - and wow what a present.
Thank you again for your friendly Caribbean welcome. I am only here for a short time, but can safely say that the beauty and people of St Kitts and Nevis will stay with me for a very long time.

What to watch: The Bulls had success limiting Williams' lane penetration after his dominant Game 1 performance. Williams vowed after Game 2 to be more aggressive, so Hinrich will need his big men to show and recover for help. Hinrich is excellent at getting over multiple screens on the same possession.


Today my emotions ranged from being spontaneously happy to sad to WTF? to excited to furious to elated to every little feeling in between - not necessarily in that order. Unlike Ron Weasley, I do not have the emotional range of a mere teaspoon. It was a wild ride, and it's only Monday.
Kikomachine Komix Blg. 11: Mga Kirot ng Kapalaran by Manix Abrera that I got last Easter Komiket. I am taking my sweet time, because after this I would have to wait for another year or so again before a new book comes out. I have all volumes of this comic book series and I'm very happy with how the characters and Manix's style have developed over the years.
Act One of my Spark NA novella. For the uninitiated, Spark Books is an imprint of Anvil. They sponsored a class under Mina Esguerra where everyone who can finish a contemporary New Adult novella by June 6 will be eligible for a possible book deal. The requirements are sent via email. For those who were able to go, we had our first face-to-face class last Saturday in National Bookstore Cubao. Images of having a book under my name out there consumed my brain that I was so inspired to work on my story!
I just hope I really get to finish it.
Of how I shouldn't let my heart override my thoughts and my emotions dictate my actions.
All sorts of emotions, as stated above.
That we now have new interns in the office, because I like it when there are new people around; That our event slated for this Friday has been moved to a later date, giving us more time to prepare for it; That I have friends I can talk to anytime I feel like I'm going crazy.
Wednesday to come around soon because I'm excited to shop at the first ever SM Woman Ladies' Night!
Peace of mind, wisdom, and clarity.
To be more careful of what I wish for. For the past few weeks I have been feeling concerned because I was feeling nothing. Empty. Hollow. Nada. I wanted to feel. And now, this. A barrage of emotions I can't keep track of.
Thank you for that wonderful blog post. It's very refreshing and so much fun to read.

Q: Matplotlib: Plot a function with multiple defintions How do I plot e.g. a function f(x) = x for 0 < x < 1 and f(x) = 1 for x >= 1?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Okay, I have thought for a while and found a solution for the given function, but I'd really like to find a more generic solution. Maybe like f=f1+f2+...fn, where fi is the function in domain i and then plot f alltogehter.
f = 0.5*(1*(1-np.sign(1-x))+x*(1-np.sign(x-1)))

A: Matplotlib doesn't care where your data comes from: you can either make lists from two different functions and combine them, or call a function with a conditional in it.  The most mathematically appealing choice is probably
def f(x):
  return 1 if x>=1 else 0 if x>0 else ...

Of course, if you care only about x>0, your function can be computed just as x>=1, which can be used as a number already.

Needle, thread and cloth may not seem like much, but for members of the Augusta chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America Inc., those items equate to creative artwork.
"When people think of embroidery, they think of senior citizens and cross-stitching," said Janine Bangs. "Actually, people of all ages do embroidery, and there are tons of other techniques that you can do in addition to cross-stitching."
According to the guild, embroidery is "the process of textile designs, embracing both traditional and contemporary needlework as an art form."
The Augusta chapter uses a variety of forms including cross-stitch, beading, needle-weaving and black work to create everything from ornaments and dresser scarfs to pillows and Christmas cards.
"It's amazing what you can do with different techniques," said Myrtle McGee. "It's truly an art form."
Guild members also use their creativeness to give back to the community. They embroider pieces for babies at the neonatal intensive care unit at University Hospital, create bereavement bags, sell pieces to benefit the American Heart Association, and hold workshops to educate the community about embroidery.
The group meets once a month to participate in different programs and twice a month to work on embroidery.
"We enjoy meeting with each other to work on our pieces," Ms. Bangs said. "There's a strong camaraderie in the group because of the love and appreciation for needlework."
Stitching can become addictive, Ms. McGee said.

Tennessee Loveless Left Disney To Make Art About Queer Icons And Drag Queens
With a recently published retrospective book of his work, a piece commissioned for the Cannes Film Festival, and several of his portraits hanging from light posts in Chicago, out pop artist and painter Tennessee Loveless hopes to follow in the footsteps of his idol, Keith Haring.
Loveless, a 40-year-old self-proclaimed "visibly gay" man with striking face tattoos, started his career in licensing and production development at Disney. Working behind the scenes for several years, he finally got his break when someone saw his work hanging in his cubical.
"Disney thought I was eccentric, but I could paint, so they went with it," Loveless tells INTO. "I was never shy about who I was there. I learned at a young age, that as long as you're a good person, you can be unapologetically you. If people hold you accountable for your queerness, then that's their problem, not mine."
Loveless went on to create officially licensed art for both Disney and Warner Brothers, as well as several other brands like MAC, OPI, and Urban Decay, but in 2018, he'll make history with his Disney-published book that featured 100 silhouettes of Mickey Mouse. The Art of Tennessee Loveless: The Mickey Mouse TEN x TEN x TEN Contemporary Pop Art Series is a pop journey exploring the history of the icon, while bringing global, societal, and personal context to the imagery. With text written by by David A. Bossert, the book explores Loveless' childhood growing up gay in Georgia and his early struggles in a conservative environment.
"It isn't just a regular Disney book," says Loveless, who now lives between Paris and Chicago. "I'm the first openly gay artist with a story Disney has published along with my artwork."
Another challenge Loveless faced was the diagnosis of severe colorblindness at the age of seven. He can see the colors blue and yellow, but red hardly registers, and green not at allit looks grey and muted.
"My life is a dim room in the color scheme," he says. "There's no color value." But, he explains, he's able to create his colorful work by labeling his paints with pigment codes.
"If I'm trying to communicate an emotion or something that exists in the world, like a fire for example, I'm going to know what color code that is because I've been taught that," he says.
His aesthetic outside of Disney and other branded work centers on being queer. Loveless came out at 16, in Marietta, Georgia, but after being bullied by classmates, and not feeing supported by family, he escaped to Athens, and was embraced by the drag community there.
"The first people who gave me a reason to paint were drag queens," Loveless says.
After his lover of 15 years died of a heroin overdose, Loveless painted his first portrait and included the story of their relationship on and around the face. He started doing portraits of more public figures after that, with the intention of illustrating what he feels are their true stories. His first 10 portraits of drag queens were hung along light posts in Chicago's Boystown neighborhood, and the city's LGBTQ community center, The Center On Halsted, uses them to highlight their HIV awareness program Get to Zero.
The issue of HIV/AIDS is an important one to Loveless personally. He's lost several close friends to AIDS, has close friends living with HIV, and is a regular user and advocate of PReP. He recently created a portrait of Elizabeth Taylor in tribute to the actress/activist and the Liz Taylor AIDS Foundation.
His work Art Outsiders is series of portraits of heroes in their fields. People who've made a difference, he says. Included are such luminaries as Andy Warhol, Judy Garland, Tesla, and Vincent Van Gogh. He's also done a portrait of Keith Haring, whom he says is a catalyst for much of his work.
"[I admire] his work during the AIDS era, when Reagan was doing nothing," Loveless says. "Haring used his voice to raise awareness. We have an option as artists to be incredibly selfish and just do our own aesthetic and voice, but I want to take it further and do what Haring did, use my abilities as a painter to create portraits and pieces that have to do with political justice or queer identity or AIDS awareness."
Loveless is now focusing on his long-term project Drag Landscapes, a series of in which he anticipates 15 years of work, hoping to create 500 individual international drag queen portraits. He says he wants to capture "their stories growing up queer, and how drag became a part of their lives." Drag Landscapes will showcase "both the heartache and the power of being queer."
"I think you've got one life to live," Loveless says. "Why not use your voice for others and not yourself? Today more than ever we need warriors."

The Drop: Local Natives
Date	 Aug 26 , 2019 Doors: 7 p.m.	Show: 7:30PM
With the recent release of their new album, Violet Street, the GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome Local Natives for an intimate conversation moderated by Scott Goldman, followed by a performance. Based in Los Angeles, Local Natives [Taylor Rice (vocals, guitar), Kelcey Ayer (vocals, keys), Ryan Hahn (vocals, guitar), Matt Frazier (drums), and Nik Ewing (vocals, bass, keys)] progressed their blissful sound over the course of three full-length albums: Gorilla Manor [2009], Hummingbird [2013], and Sunlit Youth [2016]. The latter received praise from The FADER, Consequence of Sound, and The Guardian. In between countless sold out shows and festival appearances - including a standout Coachella 2017 set - they've graced the stages of Austin City Limits, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,The Late Late Show With James Corden, and more. On their newly released fourth full-length album, Violet Street, the classic studio setting is juxtaposed with modern production and visuals to form a timeless album. The band's signature soaring 3-part harmonies are augmented by loops of tape, physically spliced and transformed by hand. The result of experimenting in the studio with producer Shawn Everett [Alabama Shakes, Kacey Musgraves, The War On Drugs] is a band renewed.

I am afraid the Daily Free Press has swung a bit to the right. At my first glance of the front page, I noticed that half of the front page stories were not congratulatory of Barack Obama, but mourning the loss of John McCain. Would it not have been more appropriate to focus on the win, not the loss?
In further investigation of the articles, unnecessary digs were taken at liberals, and biased reporting abounded. The two articles 'GOP has low hopes for Obama' and 'BU Republicans mourn result' (Nov. 5, p.1) were filled to the brim with quotes from students and Massachusetts residents associated with politics expressing their scorn for Obama supporters, confusion at how he could have possibly been elected and dismay for America's future. There was no 'other side' presented. There were no quotes of equal ardor expressing joy and excitement for Obama. The Daily Free Press barraged readers with a flood of negativity for Obama, and did little in surrounding articles to match the fervor of negativity with support for our new president.
Also '-'- the claim in 'BU Republicans mourn result' that the Obama campaign deserves credit for tying McCain to the Bush administration is preposterous. McCain did that to himself. He needed no help from the Democrats! He agrees with Bush on many issues, including the Iraq war, the economy, abortion, appointment of judges and health care. His record is proof no matter who interprets it, Republicans or Democrats.
In addition, there was not one photograph of Obama in the entire issue. The center spread 'A Sea of Change' (p.4) focused on Sen. John Kerry. He is not a 'sea of change' '-'- he has been a senator in Massachusetts since 1985! Obviously his victory is important to Massachusetts residents, but not nearly as historical [sic] or shocking as the election of Obama. It would have been nice to see such respect given to our president.
Why is it ok for the issue to be slanted to the left and not the right?
If you don't like the paper then don't read it.
Why don't you grow up a little and stop wasting time complaining about a newspaper you only contribute to when it upsets you.
i wasn't the only one who felt this way, there was another article with mine in the issue…and like I said in my comment, I was shocked by the Freep's coverage! "I always believed the FreeP to be liberal, but was shocked by the issue." And I did look beyond the front page, if you had bothered to read my entire letter and examples given. I am talking about this specific issue and how they chose to cover the aftermath of the election. I'm pretty sure you didn't even read my letter.
Ps. I'm a voice major, thanks. I'll go off to CFA now and sing some songs.
you gotta be kidding me!!!!
I don't know where to start.
First off while the one line about Obama tying McCain to Bush was a little off, but "BU Republicans mourn results" 11/5 was a complete character assassination of conservatives and republicans at BU. The entire article portrayed bu republicans like nomads walking a trail of tears from place to place across BU campus election night whining and frowning down upon Barack Obama along the way. The article presumes two things; all republicans and conservatives at BU automatically voted for McCain, and two; that the BUCR represents all the conservatives at this University. The BUCR is small and stagnant in comparison to liberal organizations on campus not just for the fact of the overall greater amount of liberals then conservatives at BU, but also because many conservatives at BU choose not to join the organization because of its past radical and unorganized actions; quoting BUCR as the sole source for conservative thought on campus is just not fair or accurate.
also, HAVE YOU EVER READ THE PAPER BEFORE WEDNESDAY!!, seriously.
the freeP endorsed obama as their candidate, they had a front page article "Mr.Precedent" congratulating him, all but one of there opinion columnists is liberal, they praise the universities growing liberal leader Andrew Bacevich weekly, and 6 pages forward from the article you moaned about is one from the freep declaring California's ban on homosexual marriage a "great step backward".
What do you want? A party? some cake?
go back to cfa and paint a picture if your upset, but first get past the front page and read a couple other issues before you write in.
Morgan- Did you even read the 11/5 article??? Granted, I always believed the FreeP to be liberal, but was shocked by the issue. It's undeniable that the issue is slanted towards the right.
A very perceptive and on-target letter from Ms. Hauck. The BU Free Press needs to do a better job of reflecting the wide diversity of opinion on the BU campus, and wake up to the reality that voters overwhelmingly rejected the Bush-McCain agenda. Yes, Barack Obama won the election in a landslide, but his victory was made easier by the wretched and pathetic Republican policies of the past eight years. The Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for their loss on Tuesday.
The FreeP is one of the MOST LIBERAL papers I have read. There is NO way that it is even close to conservative. Period.

Still from Jamie xx's "Gosh" video
The best music videos of 2016
From Jamie xx's stunning trip through a Chinese replica of Paris to Beyoncé's instantly-memeable baseball bat rampage, these were the videos we couldn't stop watching this year
This year saw the music video bite back in a big way: after years of dwindling budgets, record labels were starting to offer directors more money to work with, coming up with inventive visual counterparts for their artist's songs. Beyoncé dropped a full-length feature for Lemonade that was more accomplished than her self-titled effort in 2013, Rihanna worked with cult auteur Harmony Korine, artists like Drake turned even their most straightforward pop songs into cinematic shorts, Radiohead tapped invited a string of renowned filmmakers to turn songs from A Moon Shapes Pool into 15-second vignettes, and for every artist approaching their 'visual albums' with big ambitions (and bigger budgets), you had Grimes and Peaches getting creative their iPhones.
As 2016 comes to a close, we've picked out a handful of the music videos that wowed us the most.
Priest goes to hell, says the demons were singing Rihanna
Soldier, Tiktokker, pop star: The stratospheric rise of Bella Poarch
Rick Braukis is the firestarter behind SZA's hypnotic visual effects
There is a serious problem with live music audiences right now
10. GRIMES – "KILL V. MAIM" (DIR: CLAIRE BOUCHER)
No other video captures the madcap excellence of Grimes' singular Art Angels as perfectly as "Kill V. Maim". In the same way that Grimes commands full creative control of her musical vision, the video sees her take command of her visual presentation: directed by Claire Boucher with a co-assist from her brother Mac, it's a cyberpunkish journey through a manga-esque, neon cityscape that ends in a Blade-styled blood rave.
09. BTS – "BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS" (DIR: LUMPENS)
Phenomenally successful K-Pop seven-piece BTS regularly work with directorial collective LUMPENS to create intricate visual universes for their music videos. Densely layered with metaphors, allegories, and literary references, the classical imagery and dark undertones of the six-minute "Blood Sweat & Tears" video rewards inquisitive fans with its musings on themes of destiny and mortality.
08. BEYONCÉ – "HOLD UP" (DIR: JONAS ÅKERLUND)
The video for "Formation" was Lemonade's most politically-charged moment, but "Hold Up" was its most lighthearted. Bey's baseball bat rampage, coupled with her instantly memeable lyrics – were deliberately designed for maximum virality, but the sense of genuine fun that everyone brings to the shoot (just look at those behind-the-scenes photos) kept it from seeming cynical. Plus, director Jonas Åkerlund's stylish cinematography and intuitive understanding of colour gave it all an effortless sense of cool.
07. YEARS & YEARS – "DESIRE" (DIR: FRED ROWSON)
As we wrote back when it was released in March, Years & Years' video for the Tove Lo-featuring "Desire" ends with a cast of queer and non-binary characters in a steamy make-out sesh: it's surprising to watch, because even today LGBTQ+ people are underrepresented in music videos from mainstream pop acts, and certainly not when they're expressing their sexuality so openly. "Most of the pop videos I've seen that have male and female interaction are usually centred around a romance, and that's great," the band's Olly Alexander said in a Facebook post, "But there are a lot of other sexualities and identities that are well deserving of some shiny pop video love."
06. KANYE WEST – "FADE" (DIR: ELI LINNETZ)
More stylish than the controversy-baiting clip for "Famous", the eyebrow-raising (and headline-generating) "Fade" video stars frequent Kanye collaborator and G.O.O.D. Music signee Teyana Taylor and her IRL boyfriend Iman Shumpert, with Taylor pulling some Flashdance-inspired dance moves before transforming into a cat while surrounded by sheep (as you do). Director Eli Russell Linnetz, aged just 24 when Kanye asked him to helm the visual, told the New York Times that inspirations included Grace Jones' work with Jean-Paul Goude, John Carpenter films, and 70s porn – "that was less about the imagery and more about the texture of the skin, the oiliness," as he said.
05. MASSIVE ATTACK – "VOODOO IN MY BLOOD" (DIR: RINGAN LEDWIDGE)
Massive Attack released a lot of good videos this year – including the backwards-walking narrative of "Come Near Me" and the Cate Blanchett-starring "The Spoils" – but the pick of the crop was probably Ringan Ledwidge's visual for "Voodoo In My Blood". Drawing inspiration from Andrzej Żuławski's cult horror film Possession and Don Coscarelli's Phantasm, the video sees Rosamund Pike possessed by a floating metallic orb in an underpass. "I'd been thinking a lot about technology – about how it's very seductive and sexy, but also very benign until you engage with it, and how that engagement takes over your life," Ledwidge told Dazed when the video was released, "In a funny way it is sort of like possession."
04. KLEIN – "MARKS OF WORSHIP" (DIR: AKINOLA DAVIES JR.)
South London singer/producer Klein builds an abstract, ethereal sound world on "Marks of Worship". For its captivating video, directed by Akinola Davies Jr., she explores Nigerian traditions and her family's religious background, building up to a spiritual release. "I genuinely thought of it as a non-song – it was a five minute interlude that I made for myself; I didn't think it'd matter much," Klein told us, "Akin hit it on the nail though when he sent me the treatment as that's what the interlude was about – it was a celebration of me being cleansed."
03. DAVID BOWIE – "LAZARUS" (DIR: JOHAN RENCK)
Having kept his 18-month battle with cancer secret, the hidden meaning behind "Lazarus" – the final music video featuring David Bowie – took on a new significance only after the legendary musician's death. Released just a few days before he passed, the video was a dignified send-off: filled with the sort of occult imagery that Bowie had always been fascinated with, there's a fixation on (and acceptance of) mortality, with Bowie lying on a deathbed with skulls at his work desk before finally retreating into a coffin-like wardrobe. "I just thought of it as the Biblical tale of Lazarus rising from the bed," director Johan Renck told The Guardian, "In hindsight, he obviously saw it as the tale of a person in his last nights."
02. MYKKI BLANCO – "HIGH SCHOOL NEVER ENDS" (DIR: MATT LAMBERT)
The visual counterpart to "High School Never Ends" matches the drama and cinema of Mykki Blanco's music. It's a queer retelling of Romeo & Juliet, shot in the German town of Freyenstein. With its backdrop of Neo-Nazism, it's a particularly necessary story given the rise of the far right in 2016. "This video was born out of months of conversations and writing between Mykki and myself, and a world and character Mykki knew he wanted to inhabit," director Matt Lambert told us when we picked the song as our #1 track of the year, "While commenting on the still-very-alive racism in old world Europe and timeless ideas of us vs. them, we also explore and humanize characters who weren't often humanized as well as show the moral flaws in all who preach hate and violence."
01. JAMIE XX – "GOSH" (DIR: ROMAIN GAVRAS)
Jamie xx's "Gosh" featured high up in our music videos of the year last year, but this year it received a second official visual courtesy of director Romain Gavras – and it was one of the most astounding things we'd seen in years. The video takes place in Tianducheng, a replica of Paris constructed in east China. It stars Hassan Kone, a black man with albinism, who begins the story in a purple room, moves to a blue car, drives around a grey environment, and ends surrounded by 300 schoolkids with yellow hair. It's a stunning piece of filmmaking, made all the more stunning when you learn that no CGI was used in it.
As Gavras explained, the video was also inspired by cultural appropriation debates. "It came about when I saw the pictures of the fake Paris in China," he told Dazed earlier this year, "Everyone is talking about cultural appropriation and I was like, 'That thing is the most insane fucking cultural appropriation.' It's almost like you don't put it on a moral level – it's not Iggy Azalea singing like a black woman, it's fucking insane. It's like a cultural appropriation vortex."

Check out this fantastic National Geographic series trailer for "Drugs, INC" Brilliant idea for a trailer, and excellent post work.
Drugs, INC from Andy Baker on Vimeo.
What better way to talk about the billion dollar drug industry than to show just how similar the corporate world is to the drug trade? That's just what we did – using classic office and business terms in juxtaposition with some stylized images of the drug industry.
We partnered with the team at Evolve IMG to capture some incredible visuals of our "terms" and the audio team at Radium to make it sound great.
The team at Evolve overshot for many, many more terms and all of the visuals on the cutting room floor will still be used for episodic promotion for the entire season.

Q: creating grunt task accessing passed values this is about a particular grunt-plugin that is not working for me but also a general query.
The plug in is grunt-xmlpoke.  The issue is that in one's Gruntfile.js you define something like this:
xmlpoke: {
    options: {
       xpath: '//title',
       value: 'The Good Parts'
    },
    files: {
      'dest.xml': 'src.xml'
    },
},

My understanding is that inside the
grunt.registerMultiTask(

you would have access to a "this.options" object and a "this.files" object.  However what I find is that the this.files property is undefined. Further when I look at the "this.data" object I find that it has property called "dest.xml" which has a value of "src.xml".
Edit
I guess it's not so strange that it's doing the property value thing.  That makes sense.  So let's focus on how one should get values from the files input
End Edit
This seems counter intuitive and I've failed to find the proper way of accessing what the user passes in.
If you can either make xmlpoke work or tell me how you are supposed to do it or preferably both :) that would be great.
Thanks,
Raif

A: When using a task that is a multitask, you need to give it a target. This should have been documented in the plugin, but basically change your config to the following:
xmlpoke: {
    build: {
        options: {
            xpath: '//title',
            value: 'The Good Parts'
        },
        files: {
            'dest.xml': 'src.xml'
        }
    }
}

That should give you the output.

Q: Neural network layer for vector normalization We have a neural network that returns a vector $v$ with length $n$.
However, these results $v_i$ must be normalized to unity so that their sum $\sum_{i=1} ^{n} v_i=1$. It must be done inside the network to make its training go well.
Which kind of layer can do something like:

*

*Take a vector $v$ with length $n$

*Calculate the sum $S$ of all components $v_i$ of the vector $v$
$$S=\sum_{i=1} ^{n} v_i$$
(its total)

*Divide all the components $v_i$ of the vector $v$ by the calculated sum $S$
$$v_i '=v_i/S $$

*Return the new vector $v'=(v_i ')_{i=1} ^n$ with the same length $n$.

The sum can be obtained by SummationLayer[] operating on the entire vector $v$. Division could be obtained by ElementwiseLayer[(#/S)&]. But how do you deliver the divisor (sum) $S$ from SummationLayer to ElementwiseLayer?
Maybe there is another way to achieve this normalization ...

A: You can build this function yourself using SummationLayer, ReplicateLayer and ThreadingLayer.
v = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6}

normalizeLayer = NetGraph[{
   SummationLayer[],
   ReplicateLayer[Automatic],
   ThreadingLayer[#1/#2 &]
   }, {NetPort@"Input" -> 1 -> 2, {NetPort@"Input", 2} -> 3}]

normalizeLayer[v]

{0.0555556, 0.111111, 0.222222, 0.277778, 0.333333}

That is, sum the input, replicate the sum Automatically to have the same dimensions as the input, and divide the input by it.
(In fact, the ReplicateLayer[Automatic] gets its dimensions from ThreadingLayer - Wolfram Language takes care of resolving these dimensions for you. The ThreadingLayer knows that it needs dimensions that are the same as its first input, and asks the ReplicateLayer to replicate its input to those dimensions. It's very handy.)
SoftmaxLayer is very related here:
SoftmaxLayer[][v]

{0.00440888, 0.0119846, 0.0885547, 0.240717, 0.654335}

But as you can see, the results are slightly different - SoftmaxLayer doesn't do exactly what you're looking for (it normalizes the exponential of the input, rather than the raw input). In both cases the output sums to 1.
To build a SoftmaxLayer from scratch, you can modify the above normalizeLayer very slightly, to get the sum of the exponential and dividing the exponential of the input by it:
ourSoftmaxLayer = NetGraph[{
   ElementwiseLayer[Exp@# &],
   SummationLayer[],
   ReplicateLayer[Automatic],
   ThreadingLayer[Exp@#1/#2 &]
   }, {NetPort@"Input" -> 1 -> 2 -> 3, {NetPort@"Input", 3} -> 4}]

ourSoftmaxLayer[{1, 2, 4, 5, 6}]

{0.00440888, 0.0119846, 0.0885547, 0.240717, 0.654335}

Note that there is a small error between our softmax and the SoftmaxLayer output:
ourSoftmaxLayer[{1, 2, 4, 5, 6}] - SoftmaxLayer[]@{1, 2, 4, 5, 6}

{-4.65661·10^-10, 0., -7.45058·10^-9, -1.49012·10^-8, -5.96046·10^-8}

I attribute this to some rounding errors.
We can visualize the difference between the normalization function in the question and a softmax layer:
BarChart[Transpose@{normalizeLayer[v], SoftmaxLayer[][v]},
   ChartLabels -> {"norm", "soft"}]

In a future version of Wolfram Language (perhaps 12.1), the upcoming NetFunction functionality may make this slightly easier, allowing you to do something along the lines of NetFunction[u, (#/Total@u &) /@ u], but we shall see.


I'm showing my age. My face is no longer full with youth. Instead, it's thinning and submitting to gravity's pull. The wrinkles are getting deeper and my puffy morning eyes last well into the afternoon. I've found several grays in my strawberry-blond hair.
My body is changing, too. The daily two-mile walks I take aren't maintaining my weight like they used to.
But to my husband, I'm beautiful.
I was in the front flower bed occupied with the weeds. My hair was in a sloppy pony-tail, make-up worn off, with an old faded t-shirt and frayed shorts on. Dressed appropriately for yard work but not for feeling beautiful.
He called me hot stuff.
I want to see what he sees all the time. Yes, I have "I feel beautiful" days. On the other days……I try to remember that to him……… I'm beautiful.
I'm beautiful to God, too.
On the days I feel ugly and used up, when my confidence is shaken and I don't know what to do next. When I'm fearful and feel like my dreams won't ever come true. Or failed, and feel like giving up. When I'm angry and feel the ache of life is just too much.
I'm a messy work in progress……..but still, I'm His masterpiece.
In response to The Daily Post's daily prompt, In the Summertime.


Summary: Small businesses are as much at risk to cyber attacks as large companies. Defending your business and its valuable data is therefore of paramount importance. Here are 5 simple tips to secure your business data.
According to Stephen Coty, chief security evangelist at Alert Logic, the worldwide leader of cloud security companies, cyber-attacks don't cost much. This means that attacking any organization or individual naturally results in profit.
"Cyber attackers usually go after computing systems they know well, so oftentimes it's more about compromising a particular technology rather than targeting a specific person or entity," said Coty in an article for Small Business Computing.
In this age, where hackers are continuously upgrading their skills, small business owners must know at least the basic security strategies to keep everything (employees', customers', and business owners' data) safe.
The product and services approach includes cybersecurity technologies 24x7 by a team of security experts. This will keep your and your customers' data secure.
Perform a regular maintenance routine by updating your software to ensure that your systems are clean and to lessen the possibility of cyber threats.
It's important that you monitor your network traffic to prevent anomalies like suspicious IP addresses and unauthorized file transfers. Your IT administrators can then block these addresses to prevent them from accessing your network. "When a hacker tries to exploit web platforms or as your firewall identifies intrusion attempts, the WAF immediately alerts the IT admin, making it much harder for cyber attackers to access the applications that your business uses regularly," Coty explained.
This is self-explanatory since business data must be backed up all the time whether or not cyber-criminals will attack your system. Backup your files and keep them in a secure place.
Keep your employees updated on the company's security program. Train them quarterly about the basic precautions they can take to protect your/their digital assets online and offline. You can also allow your employees to use their own devices when accessing the company data to prevent compromising the company's IT infrastructure.
With the latest cybersecurity products available in the market, detecting intrusion attempts will be very easy and can even save you time and money in the process.


In a julep cup, add the mint leaves and the simple syrup. Lightly press the mint with a muddler to release the oils from the leaves. Pour a small amount of ice on top of the mint and syrup mixture, and then add half of the bourbon. Stir until the outside of the cup becomes very cold and condensation appears. Add another layer of ice, then top with the remaining Bourbon. Stir once again until proper dilution and temperature are achieved. Top with more pellet ice, so a "snow cone" is formed on top. Garnish with a mint sprig.
Make Bar Mash's Cold Brew Coffee Julep: For a coffee julep, Nixon begins by gathering all of the same ingredients as the classic mint julep, but he uses Prichard's Double Chocolate Bourbon for a mocha-inspired taste. "Chocolate pairs well with coffee, and also with mint," he notes. He adds two extra ingredients to the recipe: 1½ ounces of cold brew coffee and two drops of Crude "Big Bear" Coffee + Cocoa bitters, which enhance the flavors of chocolate and java.
To make the drink, place the coffee, bitters, simple syrup, and mint leaves into a cup. Continue following the same recipe steps as the classic mint julep. For an extra minty taste, slap the mint sprig lightly on your arm before using it as a garnish. "Slapping the sprig releases the mint's oils," Nixon explains.
■ Proper cups: Though mint juleps are traditionally served in silver or pewter cups, copper vessels make a fine budget-friendly option. For the mint julep, Nixon uses a copper cup, while the cold brew coffee julep can be served in a glass tumbler or copper mug.
■ Top-shelf supplies: "Because mint juleps have such a short ingredient list—they're just Bourbon, simple syrup, mint, and ice—you have to use high-quality ingredients," Nixon notes.
■ Ice advice: "We purchase ours from Sonic Drive-In, because it has the best julep ice around," says Nixon. The fast food chain sells the frozen pellets in bags to customers.
Before he became bar manager at Bar Mash in 2015, Nixon honed his mixing skills while working at Bay Street Biergarten and Edmund's Oast. He also practiced his craft at home "like a mad scientist," he says, perfecting classic cocktail recipes along with frothy daiquiris and tiki drinks. Though Bar Mash is known for whiskey and beer, Nixon likes to throw other beverages into the mix, hosting events like Tropical Tuesdays. "I love to experiment," he notes.

The missus said a storm was blowing in at 13h00. Just time to go up to the Col de Marcieu and ski the Chemin de Herse over to St Hilaire. Well not quite, I was caught by the strong winds coming around the various "capi" but fortunately this was on the return so could race back to the car. Hit 40km/h on the descent but the snow was fairly soft and sure.
Warm, above freezing air temperatures. Snow was pretty good to ski, a bit sticky on the return. Lots of debris on the trails due to the storm force winds.
The piste is not traced for classic but the resort plateau pistes are and it is the first time they've been open for 4 years!

Welcome to Wednesday's episode of the podcast! Today we talked a bit more about how we want to give away $10,000 that you could potentially win. We've settled on attempting to win the money by getting a hole in one at Taupo's hole in one challenge. We'll have 1000 shots at it, but we had to bring in Boss Todd to discuss a contingency plan if we don't win the $10K. Because regardless, we still want to give away the money! Also on today's poddy, Ben was walking on eggshells when his wife came home with a new haircut. And he's worried he said the wrong thing. We've all been there! All that and more on this episode.

I stumbled upon your site from the madsci.org page, and dropped by the guest book simply to exclaim how intriguing this collection of webpages are.
The family mp3s are an interesting and old collection of music- I have not taken advantage of the collection, but still commend it on its diversity and organization.
Further, the Sethi websnoop is entirely accurate and quite frightening, though I'm sure most IP trackers are able to do the same.
