I spent a short time - about 10 weeks or so - at Adobe India's Noida office in 2003 as a summer intern while studying at IITK. I had the good fortune to have acquiantance with Dr. Naresh Gupta, the pragmatic co-founder of Adobe India and the present CEO. He was always full of energy within the office and used to spend time with the engineers in the evening playing Volleyball and Tennis within the Adobe office. From what I have heard, he was instrumental in getting high quality work for Adobe India and has since built a very good engineering center out of the Noida office, while simultaneously expanding the operations and assimilating the India part of Adobe's take over of Macromedia.
His background before Adobe is also excellent. He happens to be co-alumni of IITK with a President's Gold Medal to his name and then he completed his PhD, conducted high quality research with many patents to his name before joining Adobe.
With such admiration for him, it was extremely disturbing to read in the morning newspapers of his son - Anant's kidnapping from his house in morning hours of Monday. My heart-felt feelings are with him and his family in this hour of adversity. I have offered a chanting of Hanuman Chalisa for the speedy rescue of Anant. Lets all offer our best wishes and prayers for his rescue.

Pension Funding Index October 2021
By Zorast Wadia and Charles J. Clark
Milliman analysis: Funded status creeps up by $1 billion in September
Asset losses and increased liabilities leave the Milliman 100 PFI funded ratio flat compared to August
The funded status of the 100 largest corporate defined benefit pension plans remained nearly flat, increasing by $1 billion during September as measured by the Milliman 100 Pension Funding Index (PFI). The deficit declined to $51 billion, the result of a decrease in liabilities that just barely outpaced investment losses. Pension liabilities declined due to an increase in the benchmark corporate bond interest rates used to value those liabilities while investments posted their largest monthly loss of the year. As of September 30, the funded ratio held steady at 97.3%, unwavering from the value at the end of August.
An investment loss in September of 1.68% lowered the Milliman 100 PFI asset value by $38 billion, to $1.809 trillion. By comparison, the 2021 Milliman Pension Funding Study reported that the monthly median expected investment return during 2020 was 0.50% (6.2% annualized). The full results of the annual 2021 study can be found at milliman.com/pfs. September's asset decline reverses the upward trend of aboveaverage returns seen over the past five consecutive months.
The projected benefit obligation fell by $39 billion during September, decreasing the Milliman 100 PFI value to $1.860 trillion from $1.899 trillion at the end of August. The monthly discount rate increased 13 basis points to 2.78% for September, from 2.65% in August. Discount rates have shown upward progress over the last two months but have only been above 3.00% once over the past 12 months.

FIGURE 2: MILLIMAN 100 PENSION FUNDING INDEX — PENSION FUNDED RATIO
Third Quarter 2021 Summary
As of September 30, 2021, the third quarter (Q3) funded status deficit improved by $4 billion. July had a $27 billion funded status loss due to a drop in the discount rate for that month, while August and September posted funded status gains as discount rates reversed course. Asset returns in July and August were above expectations but faltered in September, spoiling what would otherwise have been a strong quarter for funded status. The funded ratio of the Milliman 100 companies improved to 97.3% at the end of September from 97.1% at the end of June.
Over the last 12 months (October 2020 to September 2021) the cumulative asset return for these pensions was 12.27% and the Milliman 100 PFI funded status deficit declined by $222 billion. Discount rates showed a net increase of 21 basis points during the same time period. The funded ratio of the Milliman 100 companies improved significantly over the past 12 months, to 97.3% from 86.0%.
2021-2022 Projections
If the Milliman 100 PFI companies were to achieve the expected 6.2% median asset return (as per the 2021 PFS), and if the current discount rate of 2.78% were maintained during 2021 and 2022, we forecast that the funded status of these plans would increase. This would result in a projected pension deficit of $37 billion (funded ratio of 98.0%) by the end of 2021 and a projected pension surplus of $23 billion (funded ratio of 101.3%) by the end of 2022. For purposes of this forecast, we have assumed 2021 and 2022 are respectively aggregate annual contributions of $25 billion and $28 billion.
Under an optimistic forecast with rising interest rates (reaching 2.93% by the end of 2021 and 3.53% by the end of 2022) and asset gains (10.2% annual returns), the funded ratio would climb to 101% by the end of 2021 and 117% by the end of 2022.
Under a pessimistic forecast with similar interest rate and asset movements (2.63% discount rate at the end of 2021 and 2.03% by the end of 2022 and 2.2% annual returns), the funded ratio would decline to 95% by the end of 2021 and 87% by the end of 2022.

PENSION ASSET AND LIABILITY RETURNS
About the Milliman 100 monthly Pension Funding Index
For the past 21 years, Milliman has conducted an annual study of the 100 largest defined benefit pension plans sponsored by U.S. public companies. The Milliman 100 Pension Funding Index projects the funded status for pension plans included in our study, reflecting the impact of market returns and interest rate changes on pension funded status, utilizing the actual reported asset values, liabilities, and asset allocations of the companies' pension plans.
The results of the Milliman 100 Pension Funding Index were based on the actual pension plan accounting information disclosed in the footnotes to the companies' annual reports for the 2020 fiscal year and for previous fiscal years. This pension plan accounting disclosure information was summarized as part of the Milliman 2021 Pension Funding Study, which was published on April 7, 2021. In addition to providing the financial information on the funded status of U.S. qualified pension plans, the footnotes may also include figures for the companies' nonqualified and foreign plans, both of which are often unfunded or subject to different funding standards than those for U.S. qualified pension plans. They do not represent the funded status of the companies' U.S. qualified pension plans under ERISA.

\section{Introduction}
We address two ill-posed inverse problems: Compressed Sensing (CS) and speech denoising. To remedy their ill-posedness, we assume $x$ is analysis sparse \cite{rauhut}. The optimization problems occuring under this scenario are --for CS and denoising respectively-- the following:
\begin{align}
    \label{regl1}
    &\min_{x\in\mathbb{V}^L}\|\Phi x\|_1

    \quad\text{subject to}\quad \|Ax-y\|_2\leq\eta\\
    \label{regl1d}
    &\min_{x\in\mathbb{V}^L}\|\Phi x\|_1\quad\text{subject to}\quad \|x-y\|_2\leq\eta,
\end{align}
$A\in\mathbb{V}^{K\times L}$ ($\mathbb{V}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, $K<L$).
We turn to analysis sparsity instead of its synthesis twin \cite{figu} due to some advantages the former has, e.g. lower computational cost, the optimization algorithm used may need less measurements for perfect reconstruction etc.

\subsection{Motivation and key contributions}
We are motivated by related works proposing either analysis operators $\Phi$ associated to  full spark frames or a finite difference operator \cite{elad,genzel,rauhut}. In a similar spirit, we employ spark deficient Gabor frames (SDGF). Our main contributions are the following: a) we generate an SDGF, associate to it a Gabor analysis operator/digital Gabor transform (DGT) called star-DGT and use it as a sparsifying transform in both analysis CS and denoising b) we compare numerically star-DGT with three other DGTs,
based on famous windows of time-frequency analysis, on synthetic and real-world data. Our experiments show that our method outperforms all others, consistently for all signals, in both CS and denoising.

\section{main results}
\begin{definition}
A \textit{discrete Gabor frame} $(g,a,b)$ \cite{dgs} is a collection of time-frequency shifts of a window vector $g\in\mathbb{C}^L$, expressed as
\begin{align}
    \label{gaborsystem}
    g_{n,m}(l)&=e^{2\pi imbl/L}g(l-na),\quad l\in[L],
\end{align}
which spans $\mathbb{C}^L$ \cite{sparkmal}. Here, $a,\,b$ denote time and frequency parameters respectively, $n\in[N]$ with $N=L/a\in\mathbb{N}$ and $m\in[M]$ with $M=L/b\in\mathbb{N}$ denote time and frequency shift indices respectively.
\end{definition}
The number of elements in $(g,a,b)$ according to \eqref{gaborsystem} is $P=MN=L^2/ab$ and since $(g,a,b)$ is a frame, we have $ab<L$.
\begin{definition}
The \textit{Gabor analysis operator} associated to a Gabor frame is defined as
\begin{equation}\label{gabcoeff}
    \Phi_g:\mathbb{C}^L\mapsto\mathbb{C}^{M\times N}:x\mapsto\sum_{l=0}^{L-1}x_l\overline{g(l-na)}e^{-2\pi imbl/L},
\end{equation} for $m\in[M],\,n\in[N]$.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[\cite{dang}]
To the \textit{Zauner} matrix
$\mathcal{Z}=\big(\begin{smallmatrix}
0 & \beta\\
1 & \beta
\end{smallmatrix}\big)$, $\beta=L-1$, $L\in\mathbb{Z}$,
corresponds the unitary $U_\mathcal{Z}$ given by the explicit formula \cite{dang}
\begin{equation}\label{sic}
    U_\mathcal{Z}=\frac{e^{i\theta}}{\sqrt{L}}\sum_{u,v=1}^L\tau^{\beta^{-1}(\beta(u-1)^2-2(u-1)(v-1))}e_ue_v,
\end{equation}
with $\theta$ an arbitrary phase, $\beta\beta^{-1}\equiv1\mathrm{modulo}L$, $\tau=-e^{\frac{i\pi}{L}}$ and $e_u,\,e_v$ the standard basis vectors.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[\cite{sparkmal}]
The \textit{spark} of a set $F$ of $P$ vectors in $\mathbb{C}^L$ is the size of the smallest linearly dependent subset of $F$. A frame $F$ is full spark if and only if every set of $L$ of its elements is a basis, otherwise it is spark deficient.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}[\cite{dang}] \label{sdgf}
Let $L\in\mathbb{Z}$ such that $2\nmid L$, $3\mathrel{|} L$ and $L$ is square-free. Then, any eigenvector of the Zauner unitary matrix $U_\mathcal{Z}$ generates a spark deficient Gabor frame for $\mathbb{C}^L$.
\end{theorem}
In order to produce an SDGF and apply its associated analysis operator in \eqref{regl1} and \eqref{regl1d}, we first choose an ambient dimension $L$ that fits the assumptions of Theorem \ref{sdgf}. Then, we perform the spectral decomposition of $U_\mathcal{Z}$ in order to acquire its eigenvectors. Since all the eigenvectors of $U_\mathcal{Z}$ generate SDGFs, we may choose an arbitrary one, call it \textit{star window} from now on and denote it as $g_*$. We call the analysis operator associated with such an SDGF \textit{star-DGT} and denote it $\Phi_{g_*}$.
\section{Numerical Experiments}
We solve \eqref{regl1} and \eqref{regl1d}, for synthetic (complex and real-valued) and real-world speech signals respectively, using star-DGT along with three other DGTs emerging from famous window vectors (Gaussian, Hann, Hamming or itersine). Fig. \ref{} presented in the next page, show a) for CS, the 4 relative reconstruction error decays as the number of measurements increases b) for speech denoising, how the 4 MSEs scale as the noise's standard deviation increases. In all cases, star-DGT (blue line) outperforms the rest of DGTs, consistently for all signals and for different choices of ambient dimension with time-frequency parameters for each signal.
\section{Conclusion}
In the present paper, we took advantage of a window vector to generate a spark deficient Gabor frame and introduced a (highly) redundant Gabor transform, i.e. the star-DGT, associated with this SDGF. We then applied star-DGT to analysis Compressed Sensing and analysis-sparsity-based speech  denoising, along with three other DGTs generated by state-of-the-art window vectors in the field of Gabor Analysis. Our experiments confirm improved performance: star-DGT outperforms all others for both synthetic and real-world data. Future directions will include the combination of deep learning architectures with star-DGT, as well as the extension of the presented framework to largescale problems.

Q: windows terminal can't find my font that i just download I'm about to start to use the Windows terminal. and I wanted to change my whole set of it. so I tried to change the font and downloaded it. but here's the question. although in control penal, there was the font that I downloaded and after searching for my problem, I used the "downloading for every user" function. but it didn't work. my terminal can't find my agave NF Nerd font..
"profiles":
    {
        "defaults":
        {
            "colorScheme": "One Half Dark",
            "font":
            {
                "face":  "agave NF"
            },
            "opacity": 70,
            "useAcrylic": true
        },
    }

here's the code that I tried to put in the profiles defaults in js file of the Windows terminal.

A: I know its a meme but restarting the Terminal worked for me.
The steps I took were:

*

*Follow the steps on Nerd Font Webinstall depending on your system

*Open the settings on the Windows Terminal

*Open the settings JSON file (located on the bottom left)

*Add the following snippet under the defult section of your profile (as listed above in the question)
"font":{"face":"<font name>"},
or
"fontFace":"<font name>"

*Restart the Windows Terminal

I hope this helps anyone else running into this.

Group seeks to get young people to vote, accept Jesus
An organization called "Redeem the Vote" is hoping to get younger Iowans to participate in Saturday's Straw Poll. Pastor Bill Devlin is national president of the group and he's been traveling around Iowa this past week.
"Our goal at 'Redeem the Vote' is to get these young folks involved in the participatory contact sport known as democracy," Devlin says. According to Devlin, the presidential candidates have written off voters who're under the age of 35.
"We believe at Redeem the Vote that we're actually starting a revolution amongst young people. Just as 'Rock the Vote' has done an incredible job, they have a TV station — MTV and VH1 and BET," Devlin says. "We don't have a TV station and that's why we're boots on the ground, grassroots." Devlin's been speaking in Iowa churches and has been showing up at presidential candidate stops around the state to spread his message.
"We're also doing a huge project on responsible citizenry and civic responsibility because we believe that we're only one generation away from totalitarianism," Devlin says. "That's why we often think that young people have forgotten…freedom isn't really free." The pastor says his group's target audience is "people of faith," as Christians need to be involved in the electoral process.
"We don't say 'Who would Jesus vote for?'" Devlin says. "But we do say 'What would Jesus do?'" Devlin's handing out a flier that not only encourages people to vote, but to choose Jesus as their personal savior.

About CMHD
Parent Attitudes toward Text4Baby Service
Research on language development suggests that children from low-income families hear nearly 30 million words less than their higher income counterparts (Hart & Risley, 1999; Hart & Risley, 2003). We were interested in parent perceptions of two mobile interventions designed to support parents' engagement with their young children as a way of reducing this gap and improving child outcomes. To better understand participants' opinions of these services, we conducted a total of eight focus groups with participants from Text4Baby and Univision Contigo in two different U.S. cities in both English and Spanish. We hope that our findings shed light on the opportunities for mobile technology to reach and support all families by modelling and encouraging specific parenting behaviors.
Text4Baby was a collaboration with Too Small To Fail and the Clinton Foundation.
Young Children's STEM Learning from Media
Measuring with Murray: Touchscreen technology and preschoolers' STEM learning
Early exposure to STEM-related concepts is critical to later academic achievement. Given the rise of tablet-computer use in early childhood education settings, interactive technology might be one particularly fruitful way of supplementing early STEM education. Using a between-subjects experimental design, we sought to determine whether preschoolers could learn a fundamental math concept (i.e., measurement with non-standard units) from educational technology, and whether interactivity is a crucial component of learning from that technology. Participants who either played an interactive tablet-based game or viewed a non-interactive video demonstrated greater transfer of knowledge than those assigned to a control condition. Interestingly, interactivity contributed to better performance on near transfer tasks, while participants in the non-interactive condition performed better on far transfer tasks. Our findings suggest that, while preschool-aged children can learn early STEM skills from educational technology, interactivity may only further support learning in certain contexts.
What STEM topics are represented on Children's STEM TV? A Content Analysis of Programming on U.S. Television
Early learning of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is important for developing children's interest and achievement in these disciplines (Watts, Duncan, Siegler, & Davis-Kean, 2014). Considering that children can learn science and math from educational television (Fisch, 2014), it is important to understand what science and math topics are present in television shows for young children. We analyzed 20 U.S. children's programs that were described as STEM programs and assessed their depictions of STEM content based on math and science learning standards. The results demonstrate that STEM television programs for young children frequently represented foundational math and science topics, such as "scientific practices," "living things," and "working with numbers," but represented others skills, such as "energy," "forces," and "natural hazards," less often.
Teachers & Media Technology in the Classroom
The Center on Media and Human Development is examining data collected by the Fred Rogers Center and the National Association for the Education of Young Children to understand teacher attitudes and use of technology in their classrooms. Findings have been published in Computers & Education as well as "Technology in the Lives of Teachers and Classrooms," a report for the Fred Rogers Center.
Food Marketing to Youth Across TV, Websites, Video Games, and Apps
Children's media have historically been rooted in characters—from Mister Rogers and Big Bird to Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants. Unlike any previous technological age, however, children now encounter these characters across media platforms, including television programs and advertisements, computer games, video games, and mobile apps. In some cases, food and beverage companies use branded or licensed media characters to promote their products to children across these platforms. This character-based marketing practice may be particularly influential when it comes to children's food and beverage preferences in the real world. Although media characters populate all aspects of children's lives, little is known about the underlying reasons for why character-based marketing may influence children's food preferences and consumption patterns. For example, who exactly are the media characters used in marketing to children? And why are certain media characters able to persuade children to prefer and to consume specific foods and beverages? To answer these questions, the Center on Media and Human Development is working in collaboration with the Children's Digital Media Center on an NSF-sponsored project that examines food marketing to youth.
Teaching Reproductive Health through Media
As part of an NICHD grant, we currently are conducting formative research in support of a series of educational video shorts that will teach preadolescents about puberty and human reproduction. We recently held focus groups with 7- to 12-year-old children as a part of this effort. Children were asked about their experiences learning and understanding of reproductive anatomy, puberty, menstruation, and conception, as well as their attitudes towards preliminary materials from that might be used in the show. Children in this age range receive formal sexual education in 5th and 7th grade, and informal lessons from family members and peers. Despite recent increases in access to Internet and federal funding for formal sexual education, these children were just as uninformed about these topics as youth were in the 1980's and '90's. That said, children around the age 10 were very receptive to the idea of watching a high quality series of educational shorts centered around these topics. Another wave of formative testing will take place in the Fall.
Prompting Parent Engagement with Text Messages
We assessed whether a service that delivered parenting tips via text message could prompt mothers and fathers of children enrolled in Head Start to engage in more learning activities with their 0- to 5-year-old children (N ≈ 300). Parents liked the texting service and reported engaging children in many learning activities. We believe delivering some educational content via cell phone may allow intervention service providers to consistently reach a greater number of parents in a way that is enjoyable and convenient for parents and cost-efficient for programs.
Media Technology at Home and the Role of Parents
The Center on Media and Human Development conducted a nationally representative survey of parents of children ages 0 to 8-years old. The "Parenting in the Age of Digital Technology" report was released in June 2013 at the Parenting in the Age of Digital Technology conference held in Washington, DC.
Race & Media Use
The Center on Media and Human Development was launched in June 2011 with the release of a report titled "Children, Media, and Race: Media Use Among White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian American Children" which was presented at the Lambert Family Communication Conference: Children, Media, and Race: Exploring the Implications of Racial and Ethnic Differences in Media Use Among Children and Youth.
Quality Media for Young Children
As part of an initiative started by the Fred Rogers Center, the Center on Media and Human Development is working to aid in the creation of quality media for young children framework.

The HP Color LaserJet 2820 gives you color copying, network printing, scanning. A great way for a home small office to consolidate several machines to save space.
The 70 pound unit takes up a 20" x 21" space on a sturdy desk. Its 21-inch height brings the multi-function at a comfortable standing height when using the scanner or copier functions.
Although a USB or Ethernet network connection is required to run the printer, the control panel allows for the LaserJet 2820 to also function as a walk-up standalone machine for the other features. Scanning, faxing and copying controls can be performed without the need for a computer interface.
The LaserJet 2820 does not come with the 250-sheet cassette tray that's found on the LaserJet 2040. Instead, the flip-door opens to a 125-sheet multi-purpose tray that can handle paper, labels, post cards, envelopes, 4" x 6" cardstock up to 8.5" x 14" legal paper of various bond weights. A 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder allows for quick single-sided scanning, faxing, and copying of multiple pages up to 8.5" x 14".. The ADF lifts to use the glass platen for scanning and copying books or single sheets.
As a printer, the 2820 can connects to your Mac or PC through USB 2.0, or via its built-in Ethernet. To achieve the 2400 x 2400 color resolution, HP utilizes a technique where each dot in the native 600 x 600 dpi contains 4 colors. Think of it like having a whole pie then cutting it up into 4 smaller pieces. At the maximum print resolution text is reasonably sharp, and photographs are very detailed with smooth color transitions. Using a instant fuser technology, the LaserJet can go from sleep to print in 18 seconds. The 2820 uses multi-pass printing technology so B & W prints are 20 ppm, and color prints take 4 pages per minute.
Understanding the printing needs of today's businesses and the software applications and suites they often use, HP has installed the popular PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulators.
As a copier, this multi-function can zoom from 25% up to 400%, and make up to 99 copies in color or B&W. Copy quality can be set either manually or automatic for contrast, text or photo modes. The color scanner portion of the LaserJet 2820 is compatible with TWAIN & and XP/Vista/Win7 WIA standards. The 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution can be enhanced to 19,200 dpi.
Having built-in Ethernet network support and a hi-speed USB, this multifunction is right at home either in the middle of an office floor or connected to a secretary's computer. HP also equipped the 2820 with a surprising 96MB of memory. Memory can be expanded up to 224MB, enabling the LaserJet to easily handle workloads as a high-volume network office printer.
One of the things you need to consider when you decide to get a color laser printer is if you want a "multi-pass" color printing or "single-pass" printing. The LaserJet 2820 is a color multi-pass printer: color printing is 4 times slower printing because the paper has to pass through each of the 4 toners. It's similar to the way t-shirts and posters are manually silk-screened. If you plan on a lot of color printing, you might want to opt for a single-pass printer instead.
HP slyly chose to list the noise level of the printer in "Bels", not the typical decibels. Saying the LaserJet is only 6.6 Bels makes it sound (no pun intended) less noisy than saying it's makes 66 decibels when printing. Whether it's Bels or decibels, this is a noisy printer that you don't want sitting next to you.
Review it: "HP Color LaserJet 2820 "
Out of the box, HP includes a full standard 5,000 page black toner. Unfortunately, the three color toners provided are only 50% full, providing only 2,000-pages. It may be a good ideal to order the standard 4,000-page yield color cartridges. While 2,000 seems like a lot of printing, remember that those print numbers are based on the always asterisked "5% ink coverage per page". To give you an idea of what that mean's: a standard business letter uses 5% ink coverage; a newsletter 30%, and a print with graphics, text, and photos can exceed 60%.

Another violent shooting occurred over the weekend at a church in Sutherland Springs Texas. The crime is said to have stemmed from a domestic issue that escalated outside of the home. The families of the victims are still coming to terms with what occurred and an emotional candlelight vigil was held for those lost during this gruesome act.
The continued rise of spontaneous shootings in America and in many places around the world is an indication that there is a need for stricter gun laws as a means of prevention. It is also understandable that another portion of the population sees this as a reason to carry weapons.
270 million to 310 million guns in the United States — close to one firearm for every man, woman, and child. But in point of fact, only a minority of Americans own guns.
President Donald J.Trump and CEO and Executive Vice President of the NRA Wayne Robert LaPierre, Jr.
The gunman was said to have been wearing a tactical vest and carried an assault rifle.
According to Grant Stinchfield of NRA TV, another neighbor tried to stop the attacker by picking up his "own rifle following the church shooter until he crashed" from his injuries inside of a car.
This act of evil occurred as the victims and their families were in their place of sacred worship. I cannot put into words the pain and grief we all feel, and we cannot begin to imagine the suffering of those who lost the ones they so dearly loved. Our hearts are broken but in dark times such as these Americans do what they do best, we pull together, we join hands, we lock arms, and through the tears, and through the sadness, we stand strong.

"You live in a junkyard?"
"Sort of."
"And I thought our gaff was a tip."
- Gillian and Susan discuss Susan's home in Time and Relative
The Doctor and Susan lived in the early 1960s for several months.
The Rag and Bone Man's Story
(Short Trips: Repercussions; p. 46-48)
(First Doctor , Susan Foreman )
The Doctor and Susan visit the a pre-industrial planet called Tacunda. The Doctor steals an item called The Blessing Star from their altar. The star contains a microscopic empathic life form which responds to desires and generates a field of positivity. He believes it will help him guide the TARDIS. It helps him directs the TARDIS to 20th Century Earth, landing in a junkyard in Totter's Lane. However, interfacing it with the TARDIS causes significant damage to the TARDIS. The Doctor will rent the junkyard under the name "Smith" from a man named Hawkins for a period of nine months.
Duration: This scene takes less than an hour, but it's unclear how long the previous trip takes.
Location: Tacunda; Totters Lane (1962 or 1963)
Notes: The Doctor arrives on Totters Lane in this scene. However, it directly contradicts The Little Things (Short Trips: A Christmas Treasury), which shows a different last trip before their arrival. We can speculate that this was an unplanned side-trip after that story. We can even speculate that the TARDIS deviating from its course is the reason the Doctor steals the Blessing Star. Though that doesn't explain why the fourth Doctor remembers The Little Things as his last trip before Totters' Lane.
(Short Trips: A Universe of Terrors; Flashback)
Susan "forces" the Doctor to accompany her on an evening out. They get lost somewhere in Shoreditch. They encounter a being that is somehow trapped in a mirror, and has been holding two people trapped as if it were 1963. They smash the mirror and escape.
Duration: One evening.
Location: Shoreditch, 1963
Notes: This is a story that the Doctor tells Steven. There are inconsistencies in his account (He first says that they went to the theatre, and later that they had been to see a film), so it's possible that not all of it actually happened. At this point, the Doctor isn't letting Susan out on her own at night.
Whilst at Totters' Lane, the Doctor makes repairs to the TARDIS [this may be why he is already known to the scientific community in The War Machines]. He also makes arrangements to hide the Hand of Omega in a coffin.
Location: Totters Lane, London, 1963
Notes: Repairs are mentioned in An Unearthly Child and the Hand of Omega in Remembrance of the Daleks. Both are mentioned in The Rag & Bone Man's Story (Short Trips: Repercussions).
The Juror's Story
(Short Trips: Repercussions)
A werewolf by the name of Roberta Samson befriends Susan. When the Doctor discovers this, he warns her to stay away from his granddaughter. She attacks, and he defends himself by shooting silver bullets in her shoulder and thigh. He is arrested for the girl's murder, under the name of Doctor Foreman. At the trial, he is acquitted because his future selves have packed the jury.
Duration: The jury's deliberations last 2 days. There is no indication how long the trial lasted, how long there was between Roberta's death and the trial, or how long Roberta and Susan knew each other before this.
Location: London, 1963
Notes: This is clearly during the first Doctor's stay at Totter's Lane, but there is no more information on when.
(Short Trips: Repercussions; p.49-51)
Susan takes the Blessing Star into school, hoping to fit in more. It works too well – warping reality to help her, but that just makes her stand out in a different way. She decides it is too dangerous to keep in the TARDIS, and hides it in the junkyard.
Duration: One day.
Location: Coal Hill School, 1962 or 1963.
Notes: These events happen on pages 49-51. Susan is starting to chafe at being stuck in a single time, and thinks that the TARDIS repairs are taking "forever".The fact that the repairs are nowhere near complete suggests it's before Time and Relative
Time and Relative
The Doctor and Susan arrive in London during late 1962 or early 1963, The Doctor enrols Susan in Coal Hill School, using forged records. This idea is her suggestion. Susan also gets a weekend job looking after a six-year-old boy called Malcolm.
The cold that has been around since Christmas intensifies. The Doctor discovers that it is sentient and that it ruled the Earth before humanity evolved. He intends to let it eliminate humanity.
Meanwhile, Susan sees the Cold begin to attack others at Coal Hill. Whilst in detention after school she sees the Cold kill several people and holes up in the school with two friends - John and Gillian - and John's dad. They struggle to get back to Foreman's Yard. On the way John's dad is killed. They stop for a bit in the local Wimpy and join up with Malcolm and Zack, a biker with whom Gillian had made friends.
They eventually make it back to Foreman's yard, where the Doctor is studying the Cold - which has centred itself there - and persuade him to interfere to protect the humans. He captures the heart of the Cold and takes it in the TARDIS to Pluto in the far future. However, he takes five trips to get there and a more than a dozen to get back, arriving a moment after he left. These trips cause something in the TARDIS to break down.
Location: Coal Hill School & Totters' Lane. 24th March - 4th April 1963. p.17-30 suggest they've been there since before Christmas 1962.
Notes: This is a prequel to An Unearthly Child. Susan says that it feels like they've been in 1963 for five months (p.11), but also says that everywhere feels like that (accounting for her claim in the first episode of An Unearthly Child that her stay on Earth has been "the happiest five months of her life". It seems that she has been there since before Christmas 1962 (p. 17, 30).
The Little Things (Short Trips: A Christmas Treasury) establishes that the TARDIS's chameleon circuit broke before they originally landed in Totter's Lane. Since this is a surprise to the Doctor in An Unearthly Child, it seems clear that he didn't leave the ship during the trips he takes here.
Time & Time Again
(1st Doctor)
(First Doctor , Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor )
The Doctor is walking back to the TARDIS, contemplating the issues with Susan and the Hand of Omega when he trips, dropping the TARDIS manual. He continues on his way, not realising that he has lost it. These events are orchestrated by the seventh Doctor, who was both saving him from extermination by an Imperial Dalek and obtaining the manual - which was the "current" form of a segment of the Key to Time.
Duration: A few minutes.
Notes: The presence of the Dalek suggests this is very shortly before An Unearthly Child.

Eminem has seemingly confirmed the title of his upcoming album. After weeks of rumors and fake prescription ads popping up for the drug "Revival," Em posted a mysterious image to his social media of a "Revival" prescription note on Wednesday (Nov. 8) and teased a possible new single off his highly-anticipated album.
See latest videos, charts and news
The "Revival" prescription note follows the same design as the fake ads that began to circulate on the internet back in October. The note simply read, "'Walk On Water'" and "Take as needed" with a website link at the bottom of the page.
If you head to the website and quickly examine the content, you'll find a list of health conditions the prescription drug Revival is supposed to treat. "Tell your doctor about all health conditions, including if you: Have a history of confusion or poor judgment; Are allergic to midwestern tympanic stimulators; Are pregnant or nursing," the list reads.

"Brett Steenbarger gives traders the best tool to improve their own trading: a look into themselves. By setting up a quantifiable, positive learning system, Brett allows anyone, from experienced fund managers to beginner traders, to maximize individual potential."
"Brett proves that mental toughness CAN be learned and hits the nail on the head when applying performance theory to trading!

Traders of all levels will be inspired by these strategies for performance enhancement in their journey towards mastery."
"Successful traders know that winning has less to do with technical knowledge and more to do with understanding yourself, pinpointing your strategy and process, and implementing it in a consistent, disciplined manner. Enhancing Trader Performance shows that your personal success lies at the intersection of your talents, skills, and opportunities. Brett guides you toward identifying your talents, developing your skills, and applying both as opportunities arise. For anyone interested in improving their trading, reading this book may be one of the best trades you ever make."

Booking through the website about a month in advance with no issues.
Lobby : This escape room has a black/white keyhole themed lobby, and it is one of the most comfortable, spacious lobbies in the area. For large parties and events, 20+ people can comfortably sit or stand around, without being on anyone's toes. There is a receptionist desk at the far side of the lobby, with the control room directly behind.
Hospitality : While they do not sell food or drinks, the employees have a stack of all takeout places that deliver to the venue. The single unisex restroom is at the rear of the facility, up a half flight of stairs.
Time Keeping : Our games started on time.
Briefing Details : We are in a bunker, and running out of air. We have 60 minutes to escape!
Great GM, kept the immersive factor going strong.
Full disclosure: We played this room during Beta testing in late 2016, and were super excited to replay the room in its entirety in 2018. This is our first room ever being replayed. With ~150 rooms between late 2016 and now, it was great to revisit a positive experience. We were surprised that we needed a clue, even after playing before!
This facility is well run and maintained, and it is wonderful to see them improve their games over time.
Gritty and beautiful at the same time, the main room of this game is visually impressive. Fans of 'Fallout' and 'The 100' will truly appreciate the scenery involved here. The main room is big enough for 4 people to truly explore and engage with, without stepping on toes.
The flow of this game is rather obvious, due to the placement of placards throughout the game assisting you in your tasks. Instead of taking away from the puzzles, they nudge you in the right direction. Sometimes, the instructions seem too far-fetched, adding a 'wow' factor to the tasks at hand.
Not your typical escape room puzzles, expect to engage with the room and environment in ways you have never seen in other adventures, even by the same company. Three puzzles within this room have rather physical components, so be prepared! Pants are preferred while playing in this room. Some of the puzzles are truly amazing, and there is only one (rather well done) leap of logic.
Hints & Clues : Ask, and you shall receive, via room-themed speaker system. Very, very well done.
Hints & Clues Quality: We needed one clue, and it was well received without just telling us what to do.
With about 13 minutes left on the clock, our experienced team of four players escaped! The ending of this room is fabulous, and I cannot give it away.
Venue Description: On a block of brownstones, there is one building with a glass storefront - this is Brooklyn Escape. I felt like I was on a TARDIS - the game rooms and facility are SO MUCH BIGGER on the inside.
There is parking inside the mall nearby, or take a chance on street parking.

Verticordia pulchella is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a much-branched shrub with short, narrow leaves and feathery red or red and yellow flowers with long styles in spring and early summer.

Description
Verticordia pulchella is a shrub with many spreading branches, which grows to a height of  and  wide. Its leaves are rough, linear in shape,  long and more or less circular in cross-section.

The flowers are arranged in rounded groups on the ends of the branches, each flower on a stalk  long. The floral cup is top-shaped, about  long, hairy and rough near the base. The sepals are  long, spreading, bright red or rarely, white, with many long hairs around the edges. The petals are a deep pink, sometimes yellow or creamy-coloured,  long, erect, egg-shaped to almost round with short hairs around their edge. The style is  long, curved and slightly hairy near the tip. Flowering time is from October to December.

Taxonomy and naming
Verticordia pulchella was first formally described by Alex George in 1991 and the description was published in Nuytsia. The specific epithet (pulchella) is a Latin word meaning "pretty" or "rather pretty" referring to the appearance of this species.

George placed this species in subgenus Verticordia, section Intricata along with V. monadelpha and V. mitchelliana.

Distribution and habitat
This verticordia grows in sand with loam and sometimes with clay, in heath and shrubland. It occurs in an area near Narrembeen, in the Avon Wheatbelt and Coolgardie biogeographic regions.

Conservation
Verticordia pulchella is classified as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife, meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.

Use in horticulture
Verticordia pulchella has been difficult to propagate from cuttings and to establish in gardens. Some specimens have been grown from seed but have not survived for longer than a few months.

What Trump rally supporters say about family separation
Yamiche Alcindor Yamiche Alcindor
Rachel Wellford Rachel Wellford
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-trump-rally-supporters-say-about-family-separation
President Trump left the immigration firestorm behind on Wednesday afternoon, traveling to Minnesota to meet a far friendlier crowd. Ahead of a primary campaign rally, Yamiche Alcindor talks with supporters and protesters, then joins Judy Woodruff to discuss the news that the policy reversal on family separation won't immediately help reunite the parents and children who are already detained.
At the end of this eventful day of news, President Trump has flown to the Midwest the rally some of his base of supporters.
Our White House correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor, is also there.
Yamiche Alcindor:
Leaving the immigration firestorm in Washington behind…
Crowd:
We want Trump! We want Trump!
… the president landed in Minnesota to meet a far friendlier crowd. It's his first visit to a state he didn't win during the 2016 election.
He narrowly lost then, and hopes his visit today will bolster Republicans here in November. There's a lot at stake: Voters will cast ballots for two Senate races, a number of key House races and the governor's seat.
Randy Thom:
We can't be complacent as Republicans.
Trump supporters, like 58-year-old Randy Thom, waited in line for hours. Randy traveled from his home in Southern Minnesota to attend his 33rd Trump rally. He supported the president's policy of separating immigrant children from their families.
Well, they are breaking the law. They came across the border illegally. If you come across, that's breaking the law. What's messed up is, they're showing their kids it's OK to break our laws right off the bat.
From trade to North Korea to the economy, Randy says he is reaping the benefits every day of President Trump being in office.
My business personally has picked up quite a bit. And I attribute it to the economy growing so much. President Trump to me is the greatest leader, greatest president that we have had in my lifetime.
Others who came to the rally Wednesday struck a similar tone.
Stephanie Pechaver:
He's doing a great job. I was so excited to come today and potentially be up close and maybe even shake his hand.
Woman:
I'm proud that he hasn't backed down. I'm proud that he has stood behind what he said he was going to do.
Rich Updegrove:
Not everyone in Duluth is as welcoming. Rich Updegrove plans to attend a protest of the president's visit. The high school teacher and Democrat sees President Trump's policies as dangerous, pointing to the administration's family separation policy as particularly disturbing.
It's inhumane treatment. That's not our country. It's hard to imagine that that is really happening here to possibly 2,000 children. It's appalling. And it just flies in the face of, I think, who we want to be as Americans.
Following the 2016 election, Rich is nervous about the future of his state. He hopes voters will see this election as a chance to impeach the president.
Why is it important to be here?
We need to make sure that people see that this is not the new normal. And if you don't show up and you don't raise your voice, especially in a considerate way, you're never going to change anything.
And I think we need to show, in a community like Duluth, that we have different values and that we will stand behind those values.
Rich is not alone in this lakefront city.
I'm here because I feel like the president is a very dangerous man. I think that he is uniting people in hate, and there's a lot of misunderstanding. And I would like to do my part to just have a voice while I can.
Despite growing criticism, White House officials say President Trump plans to be on the road frequently this summer.
And Yamiche joins us now from Duluth.
So, Yamiche, before I ask you about some of the people you talked with there today, just quickly, The New York Times is reporting tonight — they're quoting a Department of Health and Human Services official as saying that there will be no efforts made immediately to reunite these 2,300 children who have been separated from their families back with their parents.
What do you know about that?
Well, that's a critical distinction.
The New York Times and several outlets are saying that the 2,300 kids that are in cages and in detention centers are not going to be grandfathered into this change. The president is blaming Mexico for having even signed this executive order.
So, he's already in Duluth backtracking what he signed today. But what we know is that these kids who the president said he was moved by were not — are not going to be able to see their parents any time soon.
So, Yamiche, you have been in Minnesota for two days now. You have been talking with folks there. What are they saying about this reversal policy change on the part of the president?
People are really torn here.
They tell me that they want the president to be compassionate, but they also feel like he was — he is really caving to unfair pressure. The president really has a base here that backs him 100 percent in almost everything that he does.
One man told me, though, that he is really upset that families aren't going to be separated anymore, because he says that they need to be separated because they want — he wants them to have a message to not come here, and that American culture is really on the line.
However, another Trump supporter who is a mother and a grandmother told me that she really appreciated that the president could admit when he was wrong and she thought that he was doing that today when he signed this executive order.
And, finally, Yamiche, what have you learned about why the president changed his mind on this, after saying there was nothing he could do, it was up to Congress?
Well, for more than three years, President Trump has really been politically Teflon. He's been able to navigate scandal after scandal.
But, today, he and Republicans learned that their limit was kids in cages and images of children separated from their families. The president was really trying to get behind the spectacle that the White House could not avoid.
The president's wife, first lady Melania Trump, and his daughter Ivanka Trump both also spoke to the president and appealed to him to try to do something different here.
The thing is, as you said at the beginning of this conversation, we're not sure whether or not this executive order is actually going to help the kids that the president was moved by.
So it remains to be seen whether or not the president's executive order is going to be actually able to help these kids that Melania and his daughter were talking to him about.
Yamiche Alcindor, covering the president tonight in Duluth, Minnesota, thanks, Yamiche.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'compressed sensing' tag.
There was an interesting discussion after the talk. Some members of the audience asked the very good question as to whether any a priori information about a signal (e.g. some restriction about the support) could be incorporated to improve the performance of compressed sensing; a related question was whether one could perform an adaptive sequence of measurements to similarly improve performance. I don't have good answers to these questions. Another pointed out that the restricted isometry property was like a local "well-conditioning" property for the matrix, which only applied when one viewed a few columns at a time.
This problem in compressed sensing is an example of a derandomisation problem: take an object which, currently, can only be constructed efficiently by a probabilistic method, and figure out a deterministic construction of comparable strength and practicality. (For a general comparison of probabilistic and deterministic algorithms, I can point you to these slides by Avi Wigderson).
I will define exactly what UUP matrices (the UUP stands for "uniform uncertainty principle") are later in this post. For now, let us just say that they are a generalisation of (rectangular) orthogonal matrices, in which the columns are locally almost orthogonal rather than globally perfectly orthogonal. Because of this, it turns out that one can pack significantly more columns into a UUP matrix than an orthogonal matrix, while still capturing many of the desirable features of orthogonal matrices, such as stable and computable invertibility (as long as one restricts attention to sparse or compressible vectors). Thus UUP matrices can "squash" sparse vectors from high-dimensional space into a low-dimensional while still being able to reconstruct those vectors; this property underlies many of the recent results on compressed sensing today.
There are several constructions of UUP matrices known today (e.g. random normalised Gaussian matrices, random normalised Bernoulli matrices, or random normalised minors of a discrete Fourier transform matrix) but (if one wants the sparsity parameter to be large) they are all probabilistic in nature; in particular, these constructions are not 100% guaranteed to actually produce a UUP matrix, although in many cases the failure rate can be proven to be exponentially small in the size of the matrix. Furthermore, there is no fast (e.g. sub-exponential time) algorithm known to test whether any given matrix is UUP or not. The failure rate is small enough that this is not a problem for most applications (especially since many compressed sensing applications are for environments which are already expected to be noisy in many other ways), but is slightly dissatisfying from a theoretical point of view. One is thus interested in finding a deterministic construction which can locate UUP matrices in a reasonably rapid manner. (One could of course simply search through all matrices in a given class and test each one for the UUP property, but this is an exponential-time algorithm, and thus totally impractical for applications.) In analogy with error-correcting codes, it may be that algebraic or number-theoretic constructions may hold the most promise for such deterministic UUP matrices (possibly assuming some unproven conjectures on exponential sums); this has already been accomplished by de Vore for UUP matrices with small sparsity parameter.

The best way you can prep for your Super Bowl party has nothing to do with the appetizer selection or football-field-inspired decor and everything to do with crisis prevention for your home. Before your invite everyone over, stock up on the best stain removers money can buy—spoiler: They're all inexpensive and available on Amazon—and you'll be 100 percent less likely to have a total meltdown and ruin the entire party when someone inevitably knocks over a whole glass of red wine upon the first (and hopefully not the last) touchdown. Stock up, test each of them on inconspicuous corners of the carpet or couch to be sure they won't make matters worse, and then go forth and party.
For minor mishaps . . .
You know to keep one of these on hand at pretty much all times, but do you? Order now and toss it across the room when a chip-and-dip lands in your bestie's lap. She'll thank you (as will the couch cushion, if that's where it lands instead).
For inevitable wine spills . . .
As its countless diehard fans know, the miraculously effective product known as Wine Away will cause a red wine splotch (or any other dark stains) to disappear before your very eyes.
For carpet calamities . . .
For crisis situations . . .
If something truly dire goes down (your team loses and you flip the table; someone who can't say no lets the muddy dog on the sofa; you only notice a wine stain the next morning, etc.) it's probably best to call in the reserves. Which, in this case, is a crazy-effective spot-remover from Woolite.

Dragon Ball Z Kai to Return with Majin Buu Arc
by Joseph Luster February 17, 2014
According to the April issue of V Jump, which hits shelves on February 21, revised anime series Dragon Ball Z Kai is getting ready to return to television in Japan. The show previously ended along with the close of the Cell Saga in March 2011, but now it's time to get ready for more as we enter the Majin Buu storyline.
Kai will be taking Toriko's slot on Fuji TV starting April 6. For those who haven't seen this version of DBZ, it includes high-def picture, sound, and special effects, a re-recorded voice track featuring most of the original cast, and an edit meant to improve the original's pacing.
You can also see Kai's return in the next issue preview on Shueisha's official V Jump website.

Fresh off 2018's history-making debut of American Song, the 1st modern riverboat in the U.S., American Cruise Lines is pleased to announce that 2018 was also its most award-winning year ever—receiving 13 awards from the most prestigious publications and respected institutions in the travel industry.
In 2018, American was honored to win a Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award, Top Small Cruise Lines, for a 5th year in a row. And for a 6th year in a row, American was named the World's Leading Small Ships Cruise Line, World's Leading River Cruise Company, and North America's Leading River Cruise Company by the World Travel Awards. American was particularly pleased to win two Cruise Critic Awards including their Editors' Picks Award, Best River Cruise Line for Solo Travelers, for a 2nd year in a row. Solo Travel remains one of the cruise industry's hottest travel trends and American has single cabins available on all its ships without a single supplement required.
Also notable for 2018, were several awards honoring American's commitment to building new innovative ships—winning Travel Weekly's Gold Magellan Award for American Song, best new Overall Contemporary Ship, and a Silver Magellan Award for American Constitution, best new Overall Small Cruise Ship. Both new ships debuted to much aplomb in 2018. American Cruise Lines continues to distinguish itself among all U.S. small ship lines as it designs and builds only new ships—its entire fleet is built, crewed and registered in the U.S.A.
Specializing in U.S. River and Coastal cruising for over 30 years, American Cruise Lines looks forward to another award-winning year in 2019. The Line is already off to a tremendous start this January, winning three 2019 USA Today's 10Best Awards, a 2019 Travvy Award, and a 2019 World Travel Award.
