USU Enrollment Rates Decline While Graduation Rates Increase
By Kerry Bringhurst • Oct 4, 2019
USU student graduation rates have increased by fifty percent compared to 2009.
Fall enrollment rates at Utah State University have dropped according to a statewide report released this week. The Utah System of Higher Education enrollment numbers show Utah State University's fall enrollment fell by 122 students. The University of Utah enrollment numbers fell by 171 students.
Speaking just days before the release of enrollment numbers, Utah State University President Noelle Cockett told faculty, staff and students that she chooses to focus on graduation rates to gauge the success of the state's higher education institutions.
"It dawned on me that if we are only pulling in 3,300 freshman and we are graduating 4,500 students then what is happening to our enrollment?" Cockett said. "That is why I don't think enrollments are the best measurement for our success."
Cockett said student success efforts at the USU Logan campus and throughout the university's statewide campus program will include experiential learning opportunities, including the issuing of certificates. And, she said, USU Advancement is preparing to launch a second fundraising campaign to raise money for student scholarships.
"Great news for Utah State. We are bringing in these students and we are making sure that they leave with that degree that they are seeking," Cockett said. "We had 50% more graduations in spring of 2019 than we had 10 years ago. Again, just phenomenal numbers."
There are more than 189,000 students enrolled in public universities for the fall of 2019, an increase of more than 3% and translating to more than 5,400 students.
State education officials say Utah Valley University gained the most students overall with 1,797 at the Orem campus.

For nearly a year, PNC-DC has been reporting on the announcement and progress of the New Alexandrian Library – a Pagan library project at Seelie Court in Delaware. This week, a huge step in the construction process took place as workers laid the foundation for the physical structure. I was able to briefly speak with ASW elder Michael Smith on the process. Additional information on the building was given by Jim Dickinson, the NAL's Project Construction Manager.
CapitalWitch – Recently the foundation for the library site was poured. Can you describe what that process was like?
Michael Smith – It was actually a several stage process. First the footers were poured and a riser wall was constructed to make sure that the finished floor would be above the 100-year flood-water estimates. We want to make sure everything we are entrusted with is kept safe for the ages! After the foundation was backfilled to ensure a minimum 4" floor pad, we held a ritual to seed the floor area with crystals charged at the Between the Worlds rituals in 2004 and 2007, waters collected from the sacred sites around the planet, and crystals charged by supporters of the project over the years. The floor pad was then poured over all those charged sacrifices and blessings. It is just amazing how much energy people have given in support of this project through the years, in anticipation of this manifestation, and we are so grateful that it continues!
CW – Are there any obstacles such as weather that pose challenges?
MS – The construction process can be unpredictable – as anyone who has ever built their own home knows! After the necessary permits were obtained (a daunting process in itself!), the weather was our most difficult challenge. There were alternating periods of extreme heat and then strings of days when rain prevented work. Temperature is very important when pouring concrete and too much heat can cause all sorts of issues: early set of the concrete, inadequate time to work it properly and ensure air bubbles are floated out and the pad cures level. Today, we got very lucky in that the temperature was much lower than predicted a few days ago. The decision was make by the contractor and the masons at 5:30 a.m. this morning. The floor is in, beautifully flat and curing well!
CW – The laying of the foundation seems like an exciting step both physically and spiritually. Was there or will be any additional magickal prep-worked involved in the setting of the foundation or the raising of the walls?
MS – As mentioned above, sacred waters from around the world, sacred protective objects and crystals charged for this very purpose at our Between The Worlds gatherings' main rituals in 2000, 2004, and 2007 are placed throughout the foundation. This work was designed to root all of the power and intention we have raised to support the Library over the years. Additional ritual and magickal work will be done at each step of the construction. The specific dome construction allows us to place objects and implant workings into each seam between the triangles – to help the project grow and prosper each step of the way.
CW – What are the next steps for the structure of the building?
MS – After the pad is full cured, the contractor will begin assembling the vertical riser walls. Then he will use a small crane to lift the triangle components into place. It is then that we will be able to see the 'dome' take form! Soon after, the standard wood construction bits will be put in (and windows and doors installed) – and we will have a strong, durable, long-lasting concrete vault for the collection!
CW – Do you expect the upcoming stages to move forward in the time frame you anticipated?
MS – Giving a couple of days here and there – to deal with future weather issues – we are expected to be right on schedule! The dam has broken and the energy of this project is flowing from Yesod to Malkuth in a free and beautiful way! The building will be done on schedule. We have great confidence in our contractor and appreciate his desire to make sure things are done right and well, even if it take a little longer than expected. We expect the Library to be around for many, many, many decades and recognize the need for the beginnings, and there will be many, to be as considered and grounding as possible.
Then begins the hard work of outfitting it to display and maintain the collections in peak condition: shelving, digital media equipment, etc. It is a very exciting time and there are small hoards of people that cannot wait to get into the nuts and bolts details of outfitting a state-of-the-art esoteric research library!
CW – Is there anything else you'd like to add?
MS – We need continued donations of money! We will, of course, release a complete accounting of the project and an official audit of the project by an outside firm. We want everyone to know we are using your donations wisely and responsibly!
New Alexandrian Library is a Dream whose time is now. Now, more than ever, we need the continued support of the communities and individuals the NAL is being built to serve. Please donate!
Please, spread the word of this important project to one's communities and friends. And look for more exciting news and additional ways that people can help the New Alexandrian Library in the near future.
I love living in Washington, DC. Just ask anyone who knows me at all. The first time I visited DC was in 2007 and as soon as I entered the District I knew I would live in the area some day. The call from the land to connect was stronger anything any other land call I had ever felt before. Two years later my life somewhat imploded in a way that pushed me to peruse my dream of living in the capital area and working for the civil rights organization I work for now. It turns out the call to live here came for very specific reasons. I immediately immersed myself in the local community here with activism, leadership, and community service. I joined a coven I'm still happily with that I'd give my life for. I made friendships that will last until the day I die. I believe that all of this was a call from Columbia. She wanted me to come her and also to become her. Let me explain.
Whether you think of Columbia as a goddess, a land spirit, or an archetype, most people who work with her in some way will tell you that she is very real and very alive. Standing atop the dome of the Capitol Building, I pass by her many times in the week as I leave my office and make my way around town. Her posture is regal and protective, sovereign and welcoming. To me, she is a goddess of the area I live in as well as the United States itself. She is known also as Lady Liberty or Libertas, protecting the largest city in the country, New York City. In New York, she welcomed hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the shores of America in our early melting pot days. I wonder if those settlers felt the same type of call I do when I talk past her in DC?
Columbia is a featured goddess in my personal pantheon because of the spirit she embodies, justice and freedom. And no, I don't mean the overused patriarchal use of "freedom" as in the colonization of other countries and the greed of war. When I speak of freedom, I mean our ability to live our own authentic lives while we co-create a better world with those around us. Freedom to me means that I rely on myself to create the changes I need to make myself happy and to assist my beloved community I'm a part of. Like Lady Liberty, I pick up the torch and light my own path because I'm confident in my power to do so. This is becoming Columbia. When aspecting Columbia, she doesn't seem to respond to lengthy invocations or petitionary appeals. Instead, she looks to see how I carry myself, how I speak, and what I do for others. Her words of challenge are "what have you done for others today?" She does not help those who do not try to first help themselves. She teaches me personal responsibility every single day.
If Columbia is a patron goddess of DC and the US, then surely the Fourth of July would be among the most sacred of her feast days. Today I will make donations to social service programs that help the poor in DC. I will direct energy from my home to Columbia's statue atop the Capitol dome and ask for her continued blessing. Most importantly, I will rededicate myself to a continued life of activism and service. In doing so, I become Columbia. I become the spirit of Liberty and Justice for all.

Nike Earnings Fail to Wow Investors After Stock Hits Record
Despite posting quarterly results that sailed past Wall Street estimates, the shares dipped in late trading, suggesting some investors were looking for an even bigger upside surprise.
Nike+ studio | Source: Courtesy
NEW YORK, United States — After hitting a record high on Thursday, Nike Inc. is finding it harder to keep investors happy.
Fiscal second-quarter profit rose to 70 cents a share, Nike said, beating 58-cent average of analysts' estimates. The company overcame headwinds from tariffs that were stiffest in the period, boosting sales by 10 percent to $10.3 billion and topping projections.
While Nike routinely beats profit estimates, its shares don't always follow suit. The company has exceeded estimates in every quarter but one going back to mid-2012, but the stock has declined about a third of the time.
Shares of Nike fell as much as 3.1 percent in extended trading before recovering to a loss of less than 1 percent. The stock touched an all-time high in regular trading Thursday, closing at $101.15.
Two possible negatives: Profit margins and inventories. Nike's gross margin expanded to 44 percent, short of estimates of 44.1 percent. The margins have grown as the company focuses more on selling direct to its customers.
Rising Inventory
Inventory rose 15 percent to $6.2 billion, an all-time high. Nike said that jump was a result of strong global demand, as well as a higher rate of on-time deliveries from factories. The Bloomberg MODL estimate for inventory growth was 6.1 percent.
It was a busy quarter for the Beaverton, Oregon-based Nike. The company named a new chief executive officer, recently sold the surfing brand Hurley, and also drew criticism from Vice President Mike Pence over its business in China.
In October, the company shuttered its elite Oregon Project distance running team after coach Alberto Salazar was suspended for doping violations. Weeks later, a number of former Nike runners claimed they were verbally and emotionally abused by Salazar while with the Oregon Project.
Analysts remain optimistic about Nike's digital transformation, specifically its push to sell more product directly to consumers, without a retail middleman. In 2019, Nike Direct sales grew twice as fast as its wholesale business, and now account for about 32 percent of all sales. That number should continue to grow.
Central to that growth is the proliferation of the Nike app, which is at the heart of Nike's new stores, products and acquisitions. In its first quarter, the company expanded its app to 13 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; last quarter, it launched in China.
In November, Nike said it would stop selling products on Amazon, the end of a two-year pilot program. That change comes amid a broader move by Nike to limit its retail partners — opting instead to work more closely with a handful of select companies, and put more resources behind its direct-to-consumer business.

Black Diamond: Open-Cast Coal Mining at Piparwar
Nilesh Kumar
Nilesh Kumar is a travel and documentary photographer from Ranchi, Jharkhand. The majority of his photography works revolve around the environment, tribes and festivals of India. Nilesh loves to go on solo trips and dreams to travel and explore the world in the future.
Industrial history Jharkhand Labour Sahapedia frames
Throughout human history, coal was mined as a low-value fuel, used by smiths for smelting metal ore and in households for firing hearth. From the 1760s onwards, the potential of steam energy as a substitute for human and animal energy was discovered, and the value of coal soared. Anthracite (high-grade coal with a carbon content between 86% and 98%) was the new gold; its value reflected in its epithet 'Black Diamond'. As a coal-powered Industrial Revolution kicked off in Britain, it gave rise to the development of power-driven machines, which permanently changed the nature of industries and manufacturing.
From Britain, the Industrial Revolution trickled to its colonies, including India. In India, exploration for coal deposits started in the late eighteenth century. In 1774, John Sumner and Suetonius Grant Heatly of the British East India Company found coal near Ethora, a rural suburb near Asansol, in West Bengal. Initially, coal mining happened in an unorganised manner, but by 1820, Raniganj Coalfield—India's first coalfield—was established. In the 1830s, operations at Raniganj Coalfield was taken over by the first Indo-British joint venture Carr, Tagore & Co., set up by wealthy investor Prince Dwarkanath Tagore, grandfather of poet Rabindranath Tagore.
In 1843, rival Jeremiah Homfray's mine was taken over by Carr, Tagore & Co. to form the Bengal Coal Company (BCC). They immediately closed Homfray's mine and monopolised the trade. Bengal's industrial development took off, powered by coal mined and supplied by BCC. After the formation of BCC, the coal industry started getting regularised, but Dwarakanath Tagore, the prime investor, had started losing interest, and he wanted to explore a new technological innovation that he had witnessed on a visit to England—the steam engine.
Steam locomotives were initially used in hauling coal from underground mines. Soon it was driving passengers. England had its first locomotive driven inter-city public railway in 1830 when the Liverpool and Manchester Railway started operations. Prince Dwarakanath Tagore recognised the potential of steam locomotives and wanted to bring the technology to India, to make transportation of coal from Raniganj to Calcutta much easier. However, in an era when Indian entrepreneurship was discouraged by European stakeholders, he was thwarted in this attempt by the East Indian Railway Company, and his plans did not materialise. Nine years after Dwarkanath Tagore's death, in 1855, the first steam engine of the East Indian Railway Company chugged into Raniganj.
Between 1850–1900, Jharkhand underwent a coal-mining boom. Large-scale mining operations destroyed the ecosystem of the Chhota Nagpur region. Mine waste and toxic effluents were dumped in the Damodar River, one of the major water systems of eastern India, which due to large-scale coal mining operations, is now one of the most polluted rivers in India. Other than environmental damage, coal-mining operations have come at a huge cost for the native population, the Adivasi and Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe, most of whom are economically disadvantaged, belonging to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) families. These displaced communities had earlier been engaged in agriculture, hunting and rearing livestock, but now either work in the mines or as migrant labour.
Cheap coal is abundant in Jharkhand. Much of it comes from the Piparwar operational area of Central Coalfields Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, an undertaking of the Government of India. Several mines operate in this area, located mainly in Chatra district, and some parts of Ranchi district. Amongst the biggest coalfields in India, North Karanpura Coalfield in Chatra district has reserves of 14 billion tonnes of coal, around 9 per cent of India's total coal reserves. Ashoka open-cast project in the North Karanpura Coalfield commenced operations in 1995. In 2013–14, it produced 7.50 million tonnes of coal. Every village in this region is directly or indirectly engaged with the coal industry. Every day, thousands of villagers in Piparwar go to work in the mines to support their families. For a meagre wage, men and women break coal and carry it in baskets on their head to load on trucks. Much of the coal mining is illegal and unregulated, controlled by the coal mafia.
Everywhere you look in Piparwar, there is a coal mine. A fine layer of coal dust covers everything. The main source of air pollutants, like coal dust, comes from the transportation of coal, but also from drilling, blasting and the loading and unloading of overburden (the upper layer of soil and rock removed in open-cast mining to get to the coal below). These pollutants cause significant damage to public health and safety. For example, suspended coal dust is a leading cause of coal worker's pneumoconiosis, or black lung disease, caused by inhaling coal dust.
Coal dust is a by-product of open-cast mines, most of which are in Piparwar. In open-cast mining, a massive pit is dug, and coal is removed from the bottom. The pit gets wider towards the top. The upper diameter can be as much as a kilometre wide. Compared to tunnelling, open-cast mining is considered more efficient but produces a significant amount of overburden. Open-pit mining causes long-term soil erosion, which ultimately contributes to change in surface hydrology, groundwater levels and flow paths, polluting rivers, ponds and other water resources. Not just water bodies, environmental degradation affects the topography of the land, agriculture, forests and biodiversity in the areas surrounding open-pit mines.
In Piparwar, what adds to the problem of coal dust and open-cast mines is effluent from coal washeries, coke-oven plants and soft-coke batteries. Each year they release hundreds of millions of tons of solid waste produced by coal-burning, including fly ash, bottom ash, and flue-gas desulphurisation sludge. Due to all these factors, coal is the largest contributor to the human-made increase of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other organisations calculated that coal particulates pollution cause approximately one million deaths annually worldwide. The global spread of the Covid-19 pandemic added to the already existing complications of air pollution related illnesses, further increasing the risks to the respiratory system.
Currently, India is the third-largest (after China and the USA) emitter of carbon dioxide in the world (though low on emissions per capita). As signatories of the Paris Agreement, India will need to reduce its dependency on coal if it has to reverse this spiralling environmental collapse. As nations get together to mitigate climate change through the reduction of fossil-fuel emission, India will need to increasingly invest in alternative energy like nuclear power, wind power, solar power, tidal power, bioenergy, battery technology and natural gas. Problem is, even though clean energy investment is increasing, coal isn't going away anytime soon. The coal sector is a major source of revenue for states and the central government. Also, coal still provides around 70 per cent of the country's electricity. Till coal becomes commercially unsustainable and loses government patronage, Piparwar will continue to be hell on earth.

Bishops' Hardline Restrictions Written into Government Shutdown Deal
The bishops and their radical allies in Congress showed that they are willing to go to any lengths in their latest gambit in the culture wars—even forcing a shutdown of the US government—so they can control what women do in the privacy of their bedrooms. The House of Representatives, spurred on by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has threatened to shut down the government if the Senate and President Obama won't agree to outrageous limitations on the Affordable Care Act's women's preventive healthcare services, thereby jettisoning the protections guaranteed to all Americans by the First Amendment to our Constitution.
Jon O'Brien, president of Catholics for Choice, issued the following statement.
"On the eve of the first step to realizing greater access to healthcare for millions of Americans, the Catholic bishops, once again, proclaim that their opposition to reproductive healthcare is more important than women's health and liberty, the business of government, or the paychecks of hard-working government employees. And the out-of-control, out-of-touch majority in the House of Representatives agrees with them.
"The bishops' demands, now included in the proposed legislation to keep our government operating, would limit more than women's access to contraception. They would limit the fundamental ability of each person to act in accord with his or her conscience. They would allow one person's religious beliefs to determine another person's freedom. That's not right.
"Too many women have already been left out of the promise for comprehensive healthcare coverage by the accommodations and exemptions in Obamacare that allow some employers to make decisions about their employees' family planning. Now, the radical conservatives demand that all employers be allowed to discriminate against their employees' religious liberty, saying that the beliefs of a boss or a member of Congress trump the conscience of a working woman or man on one of the most intimate and important decisions people make: whether and when to have children.
"Catholics, and every American who values the religious liberty our Constitution guarantees, implore the Senate and the president not to give in. Don't use women's health and religious liberty as a bargaining chip to placate the bishops—not in this fight, and not ever. Preserve our freedom of conscience and deliver on the promise of comprehensive healthcare coverage, including access to contraception, for every American no matter where they work."

Jekalyn Carr, 20, is a GRAMMY®, Two-Time Billboard Music Award and GMA Dove Award-nominated and Stellar Award-winning independent recording artist, musician, evangelist, entrepreneur, actress, and author. Jekalyn encompasses the right kind of substance in which great personalities are made of and understands the dynamic and sacrifices she has to make for her platform, and she does them willingly because her focus is on the greater good—impacting people. Her gift, passion, character, integrity, talent, and sacrifice is evident in everything she does.
Jekalyn has started 2018 with the release of her first book You Will Win: Inspirational Strategies To Help You Overcome (Feb 20) and fourth album One Nation Under God (Feb 23). You Will Win is a collection of Carr's most poignant and riveting exhortations, inspirational messages, pointers and strategies designed to promote a victorious life, in Christ. While out traveling the world, and ministering to the masses, Carr has sensed a strong desire among God's people, for the tools necessary to live victoriously, in Christ. To that end, she felt compelled to create this printed resource that will provide Biblical and relevant insight for believers. You Will Win challenges the reader to lay their hands on everything in their life that seems it's been defeated and command it to win.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD (Feb 23) on her Lunjeal Music Group imprint is a call for all of God's people to unite, removing the limitations of race, religion, denomination, organization, location, gender, or class. Carr addresses how God desires to see His people, and how we should see ourselves – as one united body of believers. ONE NATION UNDER GOD is already shaping up to pick up right where the successes of its predecessor left off. Released on September 15, 2017, the album's lead single, "You Will Win," debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Gospel Digital Song Sales chart and reached No. 2 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart and Top 10 on its Hot Gospel Songs chart.
Her most recent monumental milestone was the success of her 2016 release of The Life Project (Lunjeal Music Group/eOne). The album debuted at Number 1 on both Billboard's Top Gospel and the Combined Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart. The project spawned the mega-hit song "You're Bigger," which spent four weeks at Number 1 on both Billboard's Gospel Airplay (34 consecutive weeks in the Top 5) and its Gospel Digital Song Sales Charts. "You're Bigger" was named the 2nd Most Played Gospel Song at Gospel Radio in 2016 by Billboard Magazine Year-End Gospel issue. The song also crossed over into mainstream radio reaching Number 33 on Billboard's Adult R&B Radio Airplay chart.
In 2017, the success of The Life Project and single "You're Bigger" earned Jekalyn a GRAMMY nomination, two Billboard Music Award nominations, five Stellar Gospel Music Award nominations and a GMA Dove Award nomination. Jekalyn also made her television acting debut with a featured role on the television series Greenleaf on OWN Network.
The West Memphis, Arkansas native burst on the scene in 2013 with the poignant and powerful Billboard Top 5 single, "Greater Is Coming," which showcased a vocal ability and intensity far beyond her15 years. In 2013, she released her debut studio album of the same name reaching No. 3 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart. This embryonic artist's burgeoning national acclaim was evinced when she received the distinct honor of being named a POWER 100 by Ebony Magazine in 2014 as one of the most influential people in the world. She was on the same list as Beyonce, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Lebron James, and Quincy Jones to name a few. Her sophomore studio album, It's Gonna Happen, was released that same year on her own imprint, Lunjeal Music Group and debuted at No. 9 on the Gospel Albums chart. In 2015, Jekalyn won her first Stellar Award, at the age of 16, for Youth Project of the Year.
Jekalyn Carr has appeared on many notable televised programs, such as The Stellar Awards, The Dove Awards, NFL Super Bowl Gospel, TBN, Black Music Honors, GMA Honors, The Trumpet Awards, The Triumph Awards, The Bobby Jones Gospel Show, Tye Tribbett's Joyful Noise and many more. A number of the U.S. cities in which she has performed in have honored her, by giving her official proclamations and keys to the cities.

Q: Filter/Search NSMutableDictionary I have an NSMutableDictionary (PerosnsListSections) and a class names Persons
NSMutableDictionary:

*

*Keys are letters like "a,b,m ..."

*Values are NSMutableArray
             -> NSMutableArray have objects of class Persons

Persons class:
@property (assign,nonatomic) NSInteger pid;
@property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *name;
Now i have PerosnsListSections displayed in UITableView as shown in the image

what I want to achieve is when user types in the search bar first i have to filter the section which is the first letter then to filter the names under that section.
Sorry for my bad English (:

A: You can first select the correct array in the dictionary by doing:
NSString *firstLetter = [searchString substringWithRange:(NSRange){0,1}];
NSArray *people = PersonsListSection[firstLetter];

Then you can filter down on the people by using NSPredicates:
NSPredicate *namesBeginningWithKeyword = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(name     BEGINSWITH[cd] $letter)"];
NSArray *filteredPeople = [people filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[namesBeginningWithKeyword predicateWithSubstitutionVariables:@{@"letter": searchString}]]);

The question of how you make that be reflected in the tableview's content is a whole another question though.

*

*Typically, you'll want your view controller to be the UISearchBar's delegate and react to change using the – (void)searchBar:textDidChange: delegate method.

*There you could just call your tableview's - reloadData method so it tries recompute its content, calling all of its dataSource method like - numberOfSectionsInTableView: and so forth.

*In these methods, in turn, you'll want to check whether some text was entered in the search bar and use the above tips to return the right sections/cells.

"When one speaks of ufology in Sicily, it is impossible not to think of the famous Catanian contactist Eugenio Siragusa, who died some years ago. Had you ever related with him? "
"Right!! I have a very special and significant memory of Eugenio Siragusa. We knew from that land on the occasion from a television broadcast, and I received the "strange" invitation to go with him on Mount Etna to… four in the morning! I accepted and, after three hours' journey, we arrived in front of a lava cave where, in his words, dwelt in his "friends". Well, in front of our eyes four figures materialized from nothing, similar to human beings, but extremely high (almost three meters), with long blond hair and dressed in white tunics. Some years after, during a conference in Northern Italy where there was speaking only of Siragusa, I saw projected onto a screen, the design of those four figures. As I said before, I do not feel passionately much about the ufology and the persons that revolve around it, but I have always felt to say that those beings who Eugenio Siragusa claimed to meet remained only on his sketches; as far as I am concerned I can, instead, to bear testimony that that design responded perfectly to reality".
Eugenio said ... "they do measures on man's genetic, to see at what point has arrived blood in percentage and at what level it is rotten ... exceeded 30% he is endangered ... They are the sample tests... that can come to know and give the exact measure of how they are compound hundreds, if not thousands of persons ... Conversations with Eugenio Siragusa December 1983.
What fruits do you expect to collect?
Our Fathers where the ones who grafted your first tree of life.
The Sons of God fell in love with the Daughters of men, and they were married.
A tree, fecundated by a New Genetic Force that would have had to give best fruits, if it had been tidied, lopped and cultivated with spiritual zeal and with the Laws of Archetype, Fertilizer of Life, for Supreme Will of the Creative Spirit. The Program remained, even if the new shoots have brought with them a degenerated sap, devoid of genuine Force, made almost sterile and incapable of regenerating the Values grafted with a primary genetic, which is capable of developing and food always more and better the Tree of Life and make it fruitful, fructifying good fruits. Still, after so much time, the Tree of your life appears dying, almost sterile.
The Vine, the bine, the grape?
But what you have understood?
How, How have you worked the Vineyard of the Lord?
The New Tree is about to be transplanted and gardeners of the Cosmos are already at Work.
The good shoots of the old tree will be grafted in the new and from there will be born the fruits that the Spirit of the Lord will savor for his eternal joy.
When a negative cause has been produced, it perpetuates through a Genetic Process.
The effects of the cause always remain active and may be transmitted without even know it.
Your science should take an interest to explore, with scrupulous care, on the Genetics' instruction of each individual to be able to identify, in time, the negative transmissible effects and to modify them in order to avoid the grafting and the inevitable perpetuation of the original cause.
We believe it's a duty of your science to make series research in the field of genetics to find the causes that develop those effects and annulled them.
Only in this way it will be possible to eliminate the acts and the sufferings that afflict a large multitude of Beings of the Earth forced to commit crimes or to behave criminally. There are negative genes that can be placed in a position totally positive only if one is able to eliminate the cause of their dystonia and therefore their anomalous evolutionary process.
IF YOUR SCIENCE DEDICATED ITSELF WITH MORE ENTHUSIASM AND WITH TRUE LOVE FOR THE STUDY OF THE BLOOD, IT WOULD FIND OUT THAT PRECISELY IN THIS ESSENTIAL AND PRECIOUS ELEMENT LIES THE STRENGTH BALANCING OF ALL THE ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE HUMAN BODY. THE INSURGENCE OF SO MANY DEADLY DISEASES SUCH AS CANCER AND LEUKAEMIA AND MANY OTHER LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES IN EXISTENCE, ARE MAINLY DUE TO EXTERNAL CAUSES, PRODUCING EFFECTS OF IMBALANCE, ALTERING THIS FLUID AND IMBALANCING VITAL FLUIDAL FORCE. IF A GROUP OF CELLS OF AN ANY ORGAN OF YOUR BODY ARE FORCED TO VIBRATE WITH A WAVE DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL AND SUITABLE TO THEIR NEEDS IN ORDER TO BE FUNCTIONAL, THESE SUFFER FROM A DISORDERED DEGENERATIVE THRUST UP TO CREATE THE IDEAL COMMUNICATIVE CONDITIONS TO OTHER CELLULAR GROUPS AND THEN THE OCCURRENCE OF EVIL. THE CAUSES THAT PRODUCE SUCH LETHAL EFFECTS ARE MANY AND, AMONG THE MANY, WE CITE THE MOST IMPORTANT: THE TOBACCO SMOKE, DRUGS, MORPHINE, COCAINE AND OTHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS, THE EXCESSIVE USE OF ALCOHOL, SMOG IN GENERAL AND IN PARTICULAR THE EXHAUST OF MOTOR VEHICLES, THE SALT PRODUCED BY MARINE WATERS POLLUTED AND FINALLY THE TOXIC CHEMICALS THAT, IN LARGE QUANTITIES, ARE USED FOR THE CONSERVATION OR THE PRODUCTION OF FOOD IN GENERAL.
CANCER, LECEMIA, AND ALL OTHER HARMFUL DISEASES AFFLICTING YOUR EXISTENCE, ARE DUE PRECISELY TO THESE TERRIBLE VEHICLES, ACTING IN A VIOLENT WAY IN VITAL FLUID THAT RESIDES IN THE BLOOD. CANCER IS NOT OF VIRAL NATURE, NOR ARE ALL THE OTHER EVILS THAT KILL YOU. YOUR BODY IS AN OASIS OF BILLION AND THOUSANDS OF BILLION MICROORGANISMS WILLING NOT TO GIVE YOU DISCOMFORT IF THEY DON'T HAVE A REASON TO DO SO.
YOUR CELLS ARE COCKPITS OF EXISTENCE TO THEM, TO DRAW THE NECESSARY NOURISHMENT THAT BUILDS THE MOMENT OF THEIR LIFE AND ALSO OF THEIR WORK, WHICH ALLOWS ANY ORGAN THE EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONALITY HARMONIOUS OVERALL BUILDING OF THE BODY. THE BLOOD IS A PERFECT CONDUCTOR OF VITAL QUALITY THAT SERVES TO LIVE ORGANS AND TO DRAW UP THE NECESSARY ACTS SO THAT EACH CELL HAS ITS INDISPENSABLE PART OF FLUID ENERGY THAT ENABLES PEOPLE TO LIVE AND GIVE LIFE. BUT WHEN THIS CONDUCTOR IS PLACED IN A POSITION TO BRING WITH IT, IN THE INTRIGUING LABYRINTH OF THE BODY, A VITAL FLUID CONTINUALLY TAMPERED OF ELEMENTS THAT DISCOMPOSE AND CANCEL THE BALANCE, THEN THE INDISPOSITION AND THE REACTION HAPPEN, BOTH THE CELLS AND OF THE MICRO-ORGANISMS WHICH HAVE BEEN HIT HARD BY THE LACK OF QUID OF ENERGY FORCE ESSENTIAL TO A HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT. THIS DEFICIENCY PREDISPOSES US TO A GROSSLY DISTENDED AND DISORDERED MOVEMENT STIMULATORY OF MICROBIAL COLONY, PUTTING THE CELLS IN CONDITION TO STAGNATE IN THEM AN ELEMENT OF DEGENERATIVE COMMUNICATION.
THE BLOOD IS DOING WHAT IT CAN TO GIVE YOU A HEALTHY EXISTENCE, BUT IF THIS WONDERFUL AUTHOR OF LIFE IS NOT CAREFULLY EDITED AND CAREFULLY NURTURED, THE EVILS THAT AFFLICT YOU REMAIN INEVITABLE. MEDITATE ON WHAT MATERIALIZES IN YOUR HEAVEN, REMAIN IN YOUR MINDS WHAT CHRIST HAS LEFT SCULPTED IN THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN AND OF COURSE YOU WILL FIND THE TORCH OF THE ETERNAL TRUTH, THE GLORY OF THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD, THE HOLY GOSPEL, ILLUMINATED NEW UNIVERSAL FAITH FOR THE SALVATION OF THE HUMAN KIND. YOU WILL FIND THE REDEMPTION OF MAN, THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA, THE REALIZATION OF A CONCEPT OF GOD.
MEDITATE AND INVESTIGATE ON THE CONSISTENCY OF THE FACTS THAT WERE WRITTEN AND THAT HAD TO BE DONE, AND WE ARE SURE THAT THEY WILL RISE TO ALL THE TRUTH TO YOUR LOGIC, WITH THE PERFECT CONSISTENCY OF THE TEACHINGS LEFT ON EARTH BY JESUS - CHRIST AND BY HIS PROPHETS. WOMEN AND MEN OF THE EARTH, LET THE BLOOD OF THE SON OF GOD AND THE BEST PEOPLE TO BE ENOUGH NOW TO WRITE "THE END" ON THE SAD AND TERRIFYING CHAPTER OF THE DESTRUCTION AND PAIN.
LET FROM THIS BLOOD GERMINATE THE JUSTICE, PEACE, LOVE, BROTHERHOOD AND THE GLORY OF CHRIST AND OF THE ETERNAL FATHER FOR EVER IN THIS SAD PLANET OF PASSION.


A house improvement/renovation/restore loan is a secured loan that's lined by collateral and is used to fund a house's renovation. Mortgage providers maintain credit score into consideration whereas lending money to debtors. Bad or impaired credit score can affect your probability of being approved for a private mortgage however with residence ownership it is not fairly as troublesome as acquiring an unsecured personal mortgage.
A home fairness mortgage is a lump sum at a fixed rate of interest, whereas HELOCs have a credit score limit at variable rates that fluctuate with the prime mortgage rate of interest. The primary is that no fairness residence improvement loans are particularly designed to handle the pursuits of the home-owner by providing an answer for the financial issues encountered of their plans.


What if there really is a magic money tree? What if governments can spend as much money as they want, without raising taxes or borrowing? What if they can pay for free college education for all, free health care, decent social housing, shiny new infrastructure and a universal basic income – all without worrying about deficits or debt accumulation?
To most people this sounds downright crazy – the sort of fiscal recklessness dreamt up by an extreme fringe of economic illiterates.
Nevertheless, it is an idea that is rapidly gaining adherents. Dubbed modern monetary theory, or MMT, the notion that governments can indulge in endless deficit spending with no fear of the consequences has found favour with Bernie Sanders, former contender for the US Democratic presidential nomination, and socialist heroine Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others.
Far from being dangerously reckless, MMT, say the idea's advocates, simply reflects a clear understanding of how money actually works in a fiat currency system.
Their notion of free money for all is a deeply seductive one. Unfortunately, there are some big flaws in MMT – institutional, economic, and political.
The basic insight underpinning the theory is that a government which issues its own sovereign currency need never go bust, need never default. Because it owns the printing presses, it can always print money to pay its debts. More than that, if it wants to spend – to build a new high-speed rail system, say, or to run a free health care service – it can just print money to do so. It doesn't need to raise revenues through tax or to borrow to pay for its spending. It simply prints money.
The first objection here is that MMT would do away with central bank independence, effectively folding the central bank into the finance ministry, but that is the least of its problems. Central bank independence was always something of an illusion anyway.
There is more force to the objection that such unconstrained money printing would lead to runaway inflation. Here, MMT enthusiasts point to recent history. In the US, the euro zone and Japan, central banks have all resorted to quantitative easing since the financial crisis, effectively printing money to buy government debt. Yet in all three economies, consumer inflation has remained remarkably subdued.
And in China, the government countered the economic slowdown caused by the 2008 US financial crisis by ordering the country's state banks to lend to state-owned companies, effectively conjuring money out of thin air and using it to pay for state-backed investment projects. Yet Chinese inflation has for the most part remained modest.
At first this rebuttal might sound reasonable. However, it is not strictly true to say that quantitative easing did not cause inflation. In the US, for example, when the Federal Reserve printed more than US$3 trillion, it did not use the money to buy stuff in the real economy. Instead it used it to buy financial assets. And the prices of financial assets duly soared, with bond yields collapsing and the stock market rising fourfold.
So, just as money-printing in the financial system led to financial inflation, it makes sense that unconstrained money printing to fund spending in the real economy would lead eventually to inflation in the real economy. After all, if an ever-increasing amount of money is chasing a limited amount of stuff – and any economy can only produce so much stuff – the price of that stuff is going to rise. And it will rise at an ever-increasing rate causing hyperinflation, much like that suffered by Venezuela.
The advocates of MMT are undismayed. If unrestricted money printing to pay for government spending programmes pushes up inflation, they will move to limit private demand in the economy by raising tax rates. In their scheme, the purpose of taxation is not to raise revenues to fund government spending, but to regulate the inflation caused by that spending.
This is where MMT really breaks down. The people who advocate it have the best intentions. They want to fund jobs for all, and a green transformation of the transport and energy sectors.
But the problem with their proposals are that they would place the government, not individual citizens and enterprises, at the centre of the economy.
Increased government spending would no longer be used as a tool to support private demand when the economic cycle turns down.
Instead private demand would be suppressed to support government spending.
In short, in a world which followed MMT, public spending would no longer be one means by which the government seeks to achieve its policy aims. Rather, public spending itself would become the policy aim.
Private demand and private enterprise would inevitably get crowded out.
As a result, productivity growth would evaporate and wealth creation would stall, leaving the government as the only source of demand growth in a stagnating economically totalitarian state – or something resembling the later days of the Soviet Union.
It's not much of a choice is it? Venezuela or the Soviet Union? But that's what the proponents of MMT are offering.


Many college students aren't looking for jobs with the highest pay. Instead, they dream of applying their talents, making an impact, and leaving a legacy. In other words, they're seeking meaning in their work.
Some might tell you if you want meaning in your life, you should go see a priest. A new survey (July 22) from PayScale tells you that if you want meaning in your career, you should go be a priest. Or if you want meaning and money, well, you may belong in the doctor's office – behind a surgeon's mask. If, however, you're interested in a career in business, the survey says . . . aim high.
The massive survey by PayScale, a leading data warehousing firm that specializes in employee compensation, found that when it comes to having a meaningful career, religious vocations top the list. Ninety-eight per cent of clergy members found meaning in their jobs. At the same time, parking lot attendants reported the lowest rate of meaning at 5%. And over a quarter of fast food workers believed their efforts made the world a worse place.
People who work in religious vocations tended to score highest here. Aside from clergy, directors of religious activities and education also derived deep meaning from their work – at a 96% clip (tied for second among over 800 jobs). Both groups also reported a high degree of job satisfaction, defined by respondents answering "Extremely Satisfied" or "Fairly Satisfied" to the question, "How satisfied are you in your job?"Here, 90% of clergy were highly satisfied, among the highest totals in the survey. And religious educators came in at 84% – well above average. Even more, clergy and religious educators maintained these high levels of meaning and satisfaction despite paltry median pay ($46,600 and $37,600, respectively).
Looking for another career with high meaning? Try education. Finishing second were postsecondary English language and literature teachers at 96% (which is undercut, to an extent, by a lukewarm 74% satisfaction rate). Similarly, elementary and secondary school administrators finished fifth in meaning at 95%, while also yielding one of the highest satisfaction scores (88%). And that doesn't include pay ($76,700), which is well above the average.
According to PayScale, education professionals report one of the highest discrepancies between job meaning and job satisfaction. For example, 80% of K-12 teachers who participated in PayScale's survey considered their work meaningful. However, this same sample earned, on average, less than $45,000 annually. At the same time, as PayScale reports, educators face high certification requirements and debt loads to enter the profession. Those factors, coupled with a rising cost of living, take a toll on teachers – some of whom ultimately leave the profession to pursue higher wages.
As a group, health care practitioners were the happiest professionals, with high marks in all three categories: Median pay ($83,500), job meaning (82%), and job satisfaction (74%). In fact, health care contains 7 of the 13 most meaningful roles. Computer and mathematics professionals also performed well collectively on annual income ($74,300) and job satisfaction (70%), but ranked in the lower half for job meaning (46%). Despite raking in a modest $40,600 median income, community and social services professionals find high meaning (84%) and job satisfaction (74%) at work. The same is true of health care support professionals ($33,800 median pay against 78% meaning and 72% satisfaction). Despite earning 40% of what health care practitioners make, the support professionals have nearly the same levels of meaning and satisfaction – reinforcing that money isn't everything in a job.
Overall, 55% of PayScale's sample considered their work meaningful. And you'll find a few surprises at the bottom. For example, just 20% of gaming supervisors consider their work meaningful. And it's not much better among pre-press technicians (25%), title examiners (25%) and fabric and apparel pattern makers (25%). What's behind this, you ask? For starters, all earn less than the Census Bureau's median household income ($53,046). What's more, all except gaming supervisors are being squeezed out by automation. Surprisingly, you'll find fashion designers – often portrayed as glamorous work by the media – ranking in the bottom 10, with just 26% achieving fulfillment in their work.
PayScale also asked respondents whether their jobs made the world a better or worse place to live. While most believed their work was a help, several professions reflected higher demoralization and disillusionment. According to the data, 25% of fast food workers – buffeted by low pay, a fast pace, higher customer expectations, and attacks from nutrition advocates – believe their work makes life worse. They were followed by warehouse pickers at 21%.
In fact, you could find a correlation between professions with a perceived low meaning and social betterment. For example, casino gaming supervisors rank second from the bottom on meaning and third from the bottom (20%) on making the world better. Similarly, fashion-related jobs (merchandise planning managers and commercial photographers for value and fashion designers) also appeared in the bottom 10 for both categories.
When it comes to business and finance, the sample was relatively tepid in its responses. As a group, just 47% of business professionals enjoyed heavy meaning from their job. At the same time, 70% were satisfied with their work. On average, business professionals earned a median $54,600 per year. Conversely, sales professionals scored low across the board, with 42% meaning and 63% job satisfaction . . . scores only eclipsed by anemic $40,800 median annual pay.
Not surprisingly, chief executives – who earned $126,000 on average, had the highest rates when it comes to meaning (74%) and satisfaction (88%) in business-related jobs. Accountants and advertising sales reps had the lowest percentages for meaning (38%), while interviewers, at 61%, were among the least satisfied business professionals.

Memotech MTX with a CFX II+ running a colour display, plus a mono monitor showing the normal MTX output.
Last edited by 1024MAK on 16 Oct 2017 20:34, edited 3 times in total.
What's this, another cake? I'll let Martin explain...!
And of course, the real cake...!
More, you want more? And I don't just mean the cake (one of three cakes, mind! Yum!).
So last thing Sat, after everyone else had gone, Mark and I had a look at Paul D's MTX to try and work out why it was having video issues. By the time Mark had to leave for the long drive we still hadn't duplicated the fault, even with the extra load on the PSU of driving a CFX-II on the expansion connector.
Sunday morning before Paul was due I had a further play with the board before Paul arrived to collect it on his way home.
It looked like one of the capacitors on the Video Daughterboard could possibly be shorting to a via on motherboard. Once small piece of insulating tape later the potential short was history. An hour long soak test and still no problems so hopefully that's one system fixed at least for now.
The 2nd repair booked for Sunday Morning was Jim with his red MTX. Which had no display.
We connecter it up to the monitor, and as expected the display was blank. However in order to know whether we had a black screen which is a common fault, or a blue one we connected the old TV. Which produced a flashing cursor and "Seady" and a few random exclamation marks on an otherwise working display. We swapped the daughter board and then on the next re-boot had the same display on both screens.
An close examination of Jim's daughter board provided the answer. The was no link in either of the 2 jumpers that allow colour or mono composite output. Fitting one link solved the missing display problem.
I plugged in the CFX-II board so that the start-up screen would give us a display to help diagnose the corruption of "Ready" into "Seady" and it was obvious that the lowest bit of the display ram wasn't outputting correctly. The Circuit diagram suggested this should be the chip in location G4 which we confirmed with a 10R resistor grounding Pin 14. That chip came out and was replaces with a socket and one of the re-cycled 4116 chips from the spares box. Video corruption solved.
Next up was fitting the Magrom internally and a "test" of some of the games.
That revealed a 3rd problem the "H" key didn't work. Changing the cable didn't change anything so we connected my keyboard, that worked as expected, confirming the motherboard was fine and that the issue was the keyboard itself. Experimentation confirmed it wasn't just the "H" key, but also "F" Cursor right and a few others. All keys connected to the same pin on the keyboard connector. Tracing with the meter confirmed a break in between the connector and the first of the keys connected to it.
Being a Memotech, that required a yellow wire to restore connection.
With (hopefully) everything now fixed we were able to test the Magrom and confirm for now at least the Ultra Rare RED MTX WoW!! is working. Anf JIm was finally able to head for home with his repaired MTX and A large chunk of the Pothole Pete themed cake as souvenirs of his trip to the South Coast.
Mark poster a picture of a home made keyboard with a suggestion it might have been a cake. Of course it's not, Pothole Pete was the real cake.
The home made box hides a component reduces sort of MTX like system, one of a couple of experiments I'd tried with the intention of making a replacement Main board using more modern components.
Under the cover is a Z80 running at 9.8304 Mhz (the odd speed is a consequence of the requirements of the serial connection), memory, CTC, SIO and serial to USB adaptor, plus the various support chips. On the other side of the connector is a propeller video display from the CFX built onto a MTXplus compatible connector.
In theory it could run MTX basic, however it would need the display handler re-written. With only the 80 column display it's really intended to run CPM. Which it will, using the same disc images as the CFX and CFX-II, booted from a modified CPM rom.
Over all though it's still too big to fit the mounting rails under the keyboard in a real MTX. More work needed!
Sorry, just got to say again.. that red MTX is the sexiest 8 bit machine full stop. I could sit and stare at it all day. No, really!

Q: using subprocess.run to automate a command line application (windows 10) trying to use python to automate a usage of a command line application called slsk-cli
manually, the procedure is straight-forward - i open a command prompt window and type 'soulseek login', then a prompt requests username, after i type in and press enter i'm requested a password.
so far, i manage to get the prompt of the username but not getting passed that.
subprocess.run('soulseek login',shell=True)

this results in the ?Login output in the python console but also the process is stuck, when i run in debug or also in run
is there a better way to go about this?

A: Interacting continuously with a system via subprocess can be tricky. However, it seems that your interface prompts are one after the other, which can therefore be chained together, via newline characters which act as Return key strokes.
For example, the program shown below simply prompts a user for their username and a password, to which the 'user' (your script) provides the input via the proc.communicate() method. Once these are provided, the user is asked if they'd like to continue (and do the same thing again). The following subprocess call feeds the following input into the prompter.py script:

*

*username

*password

*continue reply (y or n)

Example code:
import subprocess

uid = 'Bob'
pwd = 'MyPa$$w0rd'
reply = 'n'

with subprocess.Popen('./prompter.py',
                      stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                      stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
                      stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
                      text=True) as proc:
    stdout, stderr = proc.communicate(input='\n'.join([uid, pwd, reply]))

Output:
# Check output.
>>> print(stdout)

Please enter a username: Password: uid='Bob'
pwd='MyPa$$w0rd'
Have another go? [y|n]:

# Sanity check for errors.
>>> print(stderr)
''

Script:
For completeness, I've included the contents of the prompter.py script below.
#!/usr/bin/env python

from time import sleep

def prompter():
    while True:
        uid = input('\nPlease enter a username: ')
        pwd = input('Password: ')
        print(f'{uid=}\n{pwd=}')
        sleep(2)
        x = input('Have another go? [y|n]: ')
        if x.lower() == 'n':
            break

if __name__ == '__main__':
    prompter()


Below is a table that summarises the details related to the trial and the results of the trial. I didn't include all this information in my blog posts.
If I were to do a meta-analysis of that looked at trials replacing SFA with PUFA and have high standards, I wouldn't include any of the trials because none of them did a perfectly simple replacement of SFA with PUFA. There was always something extra, whether it was restriction of junk food (baked goods usually) and/or trans fats in the experimental group or more obvious things like more fruits, vegetables, fish, etc in the experimental group*.
In Rose the results were consistently unfavourable for the DHH, but weren't significant (total mortality came close (0.05 < p < 0.10)), due to the low number of participants (n=80).
In MRC there were fewer CHD events but no difference in CHD mortality or total mortality.
So far these collective results suggest an inconsistency for men regarding CHD events, but likely a minor adverse effect for both CHD mortality and total mortality in men, and nothing but adverse effects in women.
* Except for Minnesota, but in the only paper I had to (the other 3 weren't even on PubMed) they didn't discuss the diet in much detail, so I can't be sure.
The trials that that more consistently supported the DHH were the most multifactorial. These trials were Oslo, Finnish and STARS. The Oslo experimental group had more whole foods, LCO3, CLO and vitamin D and less hydrogenated fish oil, refined grains and sugar. Finnish had on balance more confounders in favour of the experimental group (see the post). The STARS experimental group lost weight, had less trans fat, more LCO3, less baked goods and potentially more whole foods.
* The ACC experimental group was instructed to eat more whole plant foods and fish and less junk food and hydrogenated fats. The LA Vets control group had a vitamin E deficient diet due to reusing the butter for cooking and had hydrogenated fats. The DART experimental group increased fruits, vegetables and fish and decreased biscuits and cakes.
Next week I'll look at differences between men and women, the effect of PUFA on other things, the lower CHD events in the experimental group and a fresh look at the meta-analyses.
Steven, brilliant job on this series!
Low fat for CVD isn't a controversial issue, there's simply a lack of evidence in favour of them whether it's from RCTs (like the one you linked) or observational studies. It's a shame that this information isn't more well known and you can read stuff like "and all that fat would worry most experts"

Compressive Feature Learning
Paskov, Hristo S., West, Robert, Mitchell, John C., Hastie, Trevor
Neural Information Processing Systems Feb-14-2020, 19:11:48 GMT
This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised feature learning for text data. Our method is grounded in the principle of minimum description length and uses a dictionary-based compression scheme to extract a succinct feature set. Specifically, our method finds a set of word $k$-grams that minimizes the cost of reconstructing the text losslessly. We formulate document compression as a binary optimization task and show how to solve it approximately via a sequence of reweighted linear programs that are efficient to solve and parallelizable. As our method is unsupervised, features may be extracted once and subsequently used in a variety of tasks.

Hunt For The Unique, Stable, Sparse And Fast Feature Learning On Graphs
Verma, Saurabh, Zhang, Zhi-Li
For the purpose of learning on graphs, we hunt for a graph feature representation that exhibit certain uniqueness, stability and sparsity properties while also being amenable to fast computation. This leads to the discovery of family of graph spectral distances (denoted as FGSD) and their based graph feature representations, which we prove to possess most of these desired properties. To both evaluate the quality of graph features produced by FGSD and demonstrate their utility, we apply them to the graph classification problem. Through extensive experiments, we show that a simple SVM based classification algorithm, driven with our powerful FGSD based graph features, significantly outperforms all the more sophisticated state-of-art algorithms on the unlabeled node datasets in terms of both accuracy and speed; it also yields very competitive results on the labeled datasets - despite the fact it does not utilize any node label information.

Learning with Feature Evolvable Streams
Hou, Bo-Jian, Zhang, Lijun, Zhou, Zhi-Hua
Learning with streaming data has attracted much attention during the past few years.Though most studies consider data stream with fixed features, in real practice the features may be evolvable. For example, features of data gathered by limited lifespan sensors will change when these sensors are substituted by new ones. In this paper, we propose a novel learning paradigm: Feature Evolvable Streaming Learning where old features would vanish and new features would occur. Rather than relying on only the current features, we attempt to recover the vanished features and exploit it to improve performance. Specifically, we learn two models from the recovered features and the current features, respectively.

Data Science Buzzwords: Feature Engineering
#artificialintelligence Feb-19-2020, 17:28:05 GMT
Feature Engineering is one of those terms that, on the surface, seems to mean exactly what it is saying: you want to refactor or create something from the data that you have. Okay, fine…but what does that actually mean in real life when you're sitting in front of your data set and wondering what to do? The term encompasses a variety of methods that each have a variety of sub-methods associated with them. I'm just going to cover some of the main ones to give you an idea of the sort of thing Feature Engineering contains, with some indication of widely used methods. Encoding -- I think this is one of the most simple and commonly used aspects of Feature Engineering.

Feature Engineering - Handling Cyclical Features
@machinelearnbot Dec-29-2017, 00:45:19 GMT
I was browsing twitter yesterday (follow me!) when I came across this tweet by Data Science Renee linking to this Medium article called "Top 6 Errors Novice Machine Learning Engineers Make" by Christopher Dossman. This drew my attention because I'm somewhat new to the field (and even if I weren't, it's always worth reviewing the fundamentals).

"Approaching 65 is difficult, permanent cosmetics has helped my morale alot. I even like to look at me. People think I have had a face lift.

Everyday I look at myself. I love it."

We are huge fans of Porcupine Tree. If you love Porcupine Tree as much as we do, then this app is a must for you. See all the latest News, Tour Dates, YouTube videos, and PT's discography, including lyrics.
Just the videos alone are worth the price of the app. Oh wait, the app is free.
Since the data is stored outside the app, all the News, Videos and Tour Dates are constantly being updated without the need to update the app.
It has taken me 4 months to put this app together. With work and numerous fun development issues, it took a lot longer than I expected. I love this app and I think it is really cool.
In upcoming versions I hope to add features like being able to join the PT Fan Club and also receive the band's Tweets right from the app. I am also planning to add notification so that when new news, tour dates, or other new information is added to the app, you will instantly know it before starting the app.
Requires internet connection. Edge, 3G, Wifi should all do the trick.

It is true, you signed an agreement by way of your credit card company, but you didn't sign one with all the companies that bought your debt from the charge card company.
