Trump has given staffers assignments and told them not to tell Kelly: report
By Rebecca Savransky
President Trump has reportedly given staffers direct assignments by calling them secretly to the residence in the evenings, in an attempt to circumvent chief of staff John Kelly.
Trump reportedly gives aides tasks and says they should not share them with Kelly, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing several people familiar with the matter.
Aides have in the past decided not to abide by the president's requests in order to not "run afoul" of Kelly, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal also reported that sometimes, friends of Trump will get a message to the president through first lady Melania Trump.
"If I don't want to wait 24 hours for a call from the president, getting to Melania is much easier," one person said.
A spokeswoman for the first lady pushed back, saying this is "more fake news."
"These are more anonymous sources peddling things that just aren't true. The first lady is focused on her own work in the East Wing," the spokeswoman said.
Kelly was hired as chief of staff earlier this year. In October, Kelly used his first public appearance before the news media to dismiss rumors of friction between himself and Trump.
Speaking to the White House press briefing room, he said in October he had no plans to leave his post, and acknowledged his new position is "the hardest job I've ever had."

ATLANTA (AP) Jawing incessantly and playing with plenty of bravado, the Washington Wizards hardly look like a .500 team.
John Wall is certainly doing his part to lift them to the playoffs.
Wall scored 27 points and dished out 14 assists, while Bradley Beal chipped in with 25 points to lead another dazzling offensive display for the surging Wizards, who cooled off the Atlanta Hawks with a 117-102 victory Monday night.
Washington won its season-high fifth in a row, getting back to .500 and staying in the hunt for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, while snapping Atlanta's five-game winning streak.
''This probably is the best stretch we've ever played, to be honest,'' Wall said.
He'll get no argument from the Hawks. Wall posted his 43rd double-double of the season, darting through an Atlanta defense that had little chance of stopping him inside or out.
He finished 3-of-5 from 3-point range and set up plenty of open jumpers for his teammates, including Beal, who missed only once in six attempts beyond the arc.
Overall, the Wizards shot nearly 51 percent from the field, knocked down 13-of-25 from 3-point range and got double-figure scoring from every starter. Otto Porter had 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Indeed, the Wizards had just nine turnovers - a far cry from the season-high 25 they committed in their first meeting against the Hawks back in November, a 114-99 loss.
The Hawks had won eight of their past nine games, pushing to 12 games above .500 for the first time and finally showing the form that carried them to the best record in the Eastern Conference a year ago.
But this was a step back for a team that has struggled to find the consistency it showed last season.
Jeff Teague led the Hawks with 23 points. Atlanta kept up with the Wizards over the first three quarters, only to struggle offensively in the final period. Atlanta made just 7 of 16 shots, missed all five of its attempts beyond the arc, and turned it over five times.
Washington remained 1 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot in the East after Chicago and Milwaukee both won. Still, the Wizards are feeling a lot better about their chances.
Atlanta guard Dennis Schroder had a scare in the final period when he went down hard attempting to drive to the basket, tweaking his left ankle.
As Schroder rubbed his ankle and two teammates reached down to help him up, the Wizards quickly inbounded the ball and forced Atlanta to foul at the other end to get a stoppage.
The Atlanta bench leaped up in unison to complain, while Schroder finally was able to hobble to the bench. He was not believed to be seriously hurt.
Wizards: Averaging 110.6 points a game during its winning streak. ... Washington had three other four-game winning streaks this season. ... Marcin Gortat added 15 points and Markieff Morris 14. ... Outrebounded the Hawks 44-33.
Hawks: Failed to match its second-longest winning streak of the season. ... After two straight games with more than 20 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. had another good night - 16 points and 4-of-5 shooting beyond the arc. ... Kyle Korver, on the other hand, took only two shots and finished with three points. ''We've got a find a way to get Kyle cleaner, more free,'' Budenholzer said. ... The setback snapped a streak of six straight wins at Philips Arena. ... Paul Millsap's run of three straight double-doubles ended with 13 points and only two rebounds.
The teams meet again Wednesday night in Washington.

Whether it's complimenting someone on their smile, helping a student with a problem or even a simple thumbs up.. you never know.
You never know what type of impact you can have on someone's life with the smallest gesture of love and kindness.
As teachers and students head back to the classroom, they often need an extra pick me up to start the school year.
Tommy's oasis in those days was his girlfriend Kayla, but a young couple would unexpectedly become a family of three his junior year. "I was scared to death, I wanted to quit school and go to work. I wanted to do right by my family I'm going to be that dad and I'm going to be that father that I never had." With the help of his in-laws. The couple got married and Tommy set out a new goal. Coach the game he loves and teaches with those who inspired him.
Wimberly's story is a perfect example of "you never know." A simple word, hand gesture or facial expression can stick with one person forever. As we grow older every minute, another minute goes by that you could influence someone's life and change it eternally.

Why Kate Middleton's Fourth Pregnancy May Be Announced Soon After This Event
Mimi Heimbrod | Jul 09 2019, 12:16AM EDT
Kate Middleton is not expecting her fourth child with Prince William just yet. But bookmakers are convinced that an announcement will be made before the year ends.
On Saturday, the Duchess of Cambridge attended the christening of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son, Archie Harrison, at Queen Elizabeth II's private chapel in Windsor. Bookies claimed that Kate must have felt broody after seeing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's adorable 2-month-old son.
Bookmaker Coral slashed the odds of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announcing Kate's fourth pregnancy this year. Coral Aitkenhead, the spokesperson for Coral, previously said that the announcement will be made within the next 18 months or so.
Earlier this year, the mom of three hinted on the possibility of having another baby after meeting 5-month-old James Barr during her tour of Northern Ireland. Prince William's wife told the baby's father that his son makes her feel broody because James is so gorgeous.
"Privately, the Duchess has indicated that she would like to add another child to her brood," a source told Daily Mail two months ago. However, there is also a possibility that Prince William and Kate are already contented with having three children.

Kate just gave birth to Prince Louis on April 23, 2018. Her eldest son, Prince George, was born in 2013, and her only daughter, Princess Charlotte, was born in 2015.
While speaking with Express, Victoria Jennings, a parenting expert, said that there's one tell-tale sign that suggests that Kate won't have more kids. She said that the way the royal interacts with Prince Louis is a very obvious indication.
"As a mom of three, I completely understand how it looks as if Prince Louis is Kate Middleton's favorite child," she said. "As a parent, things go by in a flash and so you want to nurture the youngest child for as long as possible; this was certainly the case with me and my youngest daughter. You just want to baby the third child for as long as possible, especially if you're thinking they will be your last," she added.

The Illyrian type helmet (or Greco-Illyrian type helmet) is a style of bronze helmet, which in its later variations covered the entire head and neck, and was open-faced in all of its forms. It originated in Peloponnese, ancient Greece, and was developed during the 8th and 7th centuries BC (700–640 BC). Accurate representations on Corinthian vases are sufficient to indicate that the Illyrian type helmet was developed before 600 BC. The helmet is named today as Illyrian type for convenience due to many initial archaeological discoveries coming from the region of Illyria.

Archaeology
According to archaeological evidence, the Illyrian type helmet evolved from the Kegelhelm (or Kegel type) of the Archaic Period found in Argos. The earliest Illyrian type helmets were developed in a workshop located in the northwestern Peloponnese (possibly Olympia), although the first Type II Illyrian helmets were created in Corinthian workshops. The first Type III helmets were created in workshops situated somewhere on the Illyrian coast of the Adriatic. The Illyrian type helmet did not obstruct the wearer's critical senses of vision though the first two varieties hampered hearing. There were four types of these helmets and all were open faced:

Type I (c. 700–640 BC) left the neck unprotected and hampered hearing.
Type II (c. 600 BC) offered neck protection and again hampered hearing.
Type III (c. 550 BC) offered neck protection and allowed better hearing.
Type IV (c. 500 BC) was similar to Type III but hearing was not impaired at all.

The Illyrian type helmet was used by the ancient Greeks, Etruscans, Scythians, and became popular with the Illyrians who later adopted it. A variety of the helm had also spread to Italy based on its appearance on ivory reliefs and on a silver bowl at the "Bernardini" tomb at Praeneste. The helmet became obsolete in most parts of Greece in the early 5th century BC. Its use in Illyria had ended by the 4th century BC.

Public Broadcasting Service for Entertainment and informative Programming
Television and Radio are perhaps the two biggest draws to any given year, which is why these two are usually the first things you think of when considering new television programming for the upcoming year. But just because these are the two biggest draws doesn't mean that you can't have a little fun with them during the year. Take the top two finishers in major awards shows like the Emmys and Oscars, for example. During the summertime, the number of viewers watching both the Grammys and the Academy Awards grow by leaps and bounds as more people tune into the television networks. Then in September and October, once the awards show season is over, the audiences for the major national TV and radio shows drop dramatically.
If you're looking to inject some life into your television programming, consider bringing in a little bit of humor from both television networks and the radio stations. In early 21st century sitcoms, there are plenty of funny moments that can be included into your programming – after all, isn't that what television is all about? If you're looking to give your audience something to laugh about in between the serious and romantic stories that make up the dramas of the year, then you may want to consider including a few comic sequences into your TV & Radio show. Even if your show is not primarily intended as a comedy, it can still benefit from a few laughs here and there.
Finally, consider trying something a little different. Take a look at how you can take advantage of one of the most powerful assets in modern society – the internet. The internet has given us many ways to communicate with each other, and more television stations and radio stations are finding that this format works well for them as well. Instead of holding an open house on a Saturday night, for example, you can host an internet-based "blog fest" instead. Thousands of people can watch your webcast and you can give away details and teasers about your new program or current events. Many of these types of online public broadcasting service programs are aired on the Internet on Saturdays.

New Insights Into the Relationship Between Erosion and Tectonics in the Himalayas
earth, Earth History, edu, Tectonic 2:24 PM
Through its unique topography and relationship with the Asian monsoons, the Himalayan system constitute the largest erosion system of the planet.
Earth's climate interacts with so called surface processes -- such as landslides or river erosion -- and tectonics to shape the landscape that we see. In some regions, the sheer force of these processes has led scientists to believe that they may even influence the development of tectonics. An international team of researchers headed by the Cologne-based geographer Dr. Georgina King have now disproved this assumption. The results of their study, "Northward migration of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis revealed by OSL-thermochronometry," will appear in Science on 19 August 2016.
In the eastern Himalaya, mountains exceeding 7,000 meters are coincident with extremely powerful rivers such as the Yarlung-Tsangpo, which is known as the "Everest of Rivers" and runs through the deeply incised Tsangpo gorge. "In this region the dramatic topography coupled with highly erosive rivers means that if surface processes can control tectonics, we should be able to record it here," says King.
Dr. Georgina King heads the luminescence laboratory at the University of Cologne's Institute of Geography. She and her team used a new technique called luminescence thermochronometry to measure the cooling histories of rocks as they move towards the Earth's surface (exhumation). Their research revealed that surface processes do not control the location of tectonic deformation, but rather are responding to changing tectonics. The team measured the most recent stages of exhumation, that is, the final 1-2 km of the Earth's crust, which have risen to the surface over approximately the past 1 million years. In geological terms this is a quite recent period.
The results show that in this time period, the rate of exhumation in the northward part of the eastern Himalayas increased. The scientists compared this record to plausible climatic and tectonic explanations. Using their data and data from other studies, they were able to show that this increased exhumation rate reflected tectonic changes and associated changes in river shape. "Our findings fit very well with previous hypotheses for this region, namely that there is tectonic, rather than climatic control over the pattern of erosion rates," King notes.
Since surface processes can also influence the carbon cycle, this new research technique can also make valuable contributions to climate research. "As we improve our understanding of the role of surface processes in the dynamic evolution of mountains, it will give us insights into the associated carbon fluxes and how these influence global climate," King concludes.

Q: Conventional practice for signal handling/child processes EDIT: If managing child processes for a shell script is really purely a matter of "opinion"......no wonder there are so many terrible shell scripts. Thanks for continuing that.

I'm having trouble understanding how SIGTERM is conventionally handled with relation to child processes in Linux.

I am writing a command line utility in Bash.
It looks like
command1
command2
command3

Very simple, right?
However, if my program is sent SIGTERM signal, the Bash script will end but the current child process (e.g. command2) will continue.
But with some more code, I can write my program like this
trap 'jobs -p | xargs -r kill' TERM

command1 &
wait
command2 &
wait
command3 &
wait

That will propogate SIGTERM to the currently running child process. I haven't often seen Bash scripts written like that, but that's what it would take.

Should I:

*

*Write my program in the second style each time I create a child process?

*Or expect users to launch my program in a process group if they want to send SIGTERM?

What's the best practice/conventions for process management responsibilities with respect to SIGTERM for children?

A: tl;dr
The first way.
If a process starts a child process and waits for it to finish (the example), nothing special is necessary.
If a process starts a child process and may prematurely terminate it, it should start that child in a new process group and send signals to the group.
Details
Oddly for how often this applies (like, every shell script), I can't find a good answer about convention/best practice.
Some deduction:
Creating and signaling process groups are very common. In particular, interactive shells do this. So (unless it takes extra steps to prevent it) a processes' children can receive SIGINT signals at any time, in very normal circumstances.
In the interest of supporting as few paradigms as possible, it seems to make sense to rely on that always.
That means the first style is okay, and the burden of process management is placed on processes that deliberately terminate their children during regular operation (which is relatively less common).
See also "Case study: timeout" below for further evidence.
How to do it
While the perspective of the question was from the requirements of a vanilla callee program, this answer prompts the question: how does one start a process in a new process group (in the non-vanilla case that one wishes to prematurely interrupt the process)?
This is easy in some languages and difficult in others. I've created a utility  run-pgrp to assist in the latter case.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Run the command in a new process group, and forward signals.
import os
import signal
import sys

pid = os.fork()
if not pid:
    os.setpgid(0, 0)
    os.execvp(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[1:])

def receiveSignal(sig, frame):
    os.killpg(pid, sig)
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, receiveSignal)
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, receiveSignal)

_, status = os.waitpid(-1, 0)
sys.exit(status)

The caller can use that to wrap the process that it prematurely terminate.
Node.js example:
const childProcess = require("child_process");
(async () => {
  const process = childProcess.spawn(
    "run-pgrp",
    ["bash", "-c", "echo start; sleep 600; echo done"],
    { stdio: "inherit" }
  );
  /* leaves orphaned process
  const process = childProcess.spawn(
    "bash",
    ["-c", "echo start; sleep 600; echo done"],
    { stdio: "inherit" }
  );
  */
  await new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, /* 1s */ 1000));
  process.kill();
  if (process.exitCode == null) {
    await new Promise(res => process.on("exit", res));
  }
})();

At the end of this program, the sleep process is terminated. If the command invoked directly without run-pgrp, the sleep process continues to run.
Case study: timeout
The GNU timeout utility is a program that may terminate its child process.
Notably, it runs the child in a new process group. This supports the conclusion that potential interruptions should be preceded by creating a new process group.
Interestingly, however, timeout puts itself in the process group as well, to avoid complexities around forwarding signals, but causing some strange behavior. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/57692/56781
For example, in an interactive shell, run
bash -c "echo start; timeout 600 sleep 600; echo done"

Try to interrupt this (Ctrl+C). It doesn't respond, because timeout never gets the signal!
In contrast, my run-pgrp utility keeps itself in the original process group and forwards SIGINT/SIGTERM to the child group.

Consumer confidence remains strong and forecasts for the upcoming holiday period remain positive. However, B2C and B2B online fulfillment will face added challenges in the coming weeks recruiting added labor, implementing new online fulfillment processes, and securing added resources. This may well be a period where investments in advanced technology can pay dividends.
In a mere five weeks, the November 11th Singles Day holiday shopping event again kicks-ff in China, while in a matters of 6 weeks, the 2018 holiday fulfillment period kicks-off in earnest. Both are expected to secure record online shopping volumes.
As always, the open question is whether online, and indeed physical brick and mortar supply and demand fulfillment networks are ready to support this year's record volumes as well as compete with the likes of Amazon and other large retailers.
Last year, Alibaba's sponsored Singles Day shopping event amounted to in excess of $25 billion in online and physical stores revenues, by far the largest global single day event. The open question is whether this year's event can surpass that number.
According to Adobe Analytics, 2017 Black Friday related online sales amounted to $5 billion while the linked Cyber Monday shopping event amounted to $6.6 billion in online sales.
For the U.S., the National Retail Federation (NRF) expects 2018 holiday retail sales for the November thru December 2018 time period– excluding automobiles, gasoline and restaurants- to increase in range of 4.3 and 4.8 percent, amounting to a total of $717 billion to $721 billion. For comparison, 2017 holiday sales in the same period totaled upwards of $688 billion, amounting to an increase of 5.3 percent over 2016 levels.
Online retail sales forecasts vary but remain in rather healthy double-digit growth. Deloitte is forecasting 2018 online sales growth (November thru the end of January 2019) of 17-22 percent amounting to $128 to $134 billion. That compares with last year's 16.6 percent increase amounting to $110 billion. Market analytics firm eMarketer is forecasting online sales growth (November thru December) of 16.2 percent, amounting to $123.4 billion.
A recent blog posting from market analytics firm ComScore reminds retailers and product marketing teams that over the past few years, a clear trend has been online consumers shopping earlier in the season and primarily during the period spanning Black Friday and Cyber Monday. According to data collected, this period accounted for 17.7 percent of total desktop E-Commerce holiday spending in 2017. Thus, retailers are already in the process of queuing-up this year's holiday promotional plans.
Seasonal labor forecast needs come on the heels of new U.S. government data indicating the lowest unemployment rate since the late nineteen sixties and that logistics and warehousing hiring surged last month. According to the U.S. Labor Department, warehouse and storage related hiring grew by 8400 positions in September alone. Parcel delivery giants FedEx and UPS have indicated intent to add 100,000 and 55,000 workers respectively to handle upcoming surge volumes, while the latter expects to have regular Saturday and Sunday delivery services operational under a revised labor contract. The question remains where will these added workers be found?
As Supply Chain Matters and other media has noted, Amazon elected to raise its minimum wage to $15 per hour, adding to industry wide pressures to incent needed temporary workers to support the upcoming online surge. According to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, employers are now willing to recruit workers before completion of either criminal background or drug use testing.
To offset added labor requirements, retailers are expected to have deployed increased automation including robots and drones to handle added volumes. This year should provide added evidence in the use of more automated and autonomous material handling equipment to keep material moving around the clock.
In the grocery and food sector, retailers Amazon-Whole Foods, Kroeger and Walmart are expected to have increased use of robots to assist in pick, pack, and ship operations of online food orders for either store pickup or same day or hourly based home delivery. Walmart will be utilizing in-store robots to continually monitor on-shelf inventories.
Retailer Target anticipates shipping the majority of online orders utilizing local brisk and mortar stores, leveraging an investment in a new inventory management system.
Our U.S. readers may have already noticed that Christmas and holiday focused merchandise is already on store shelves. The reason is because many retailers brought in inventory earlier to avoid the imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports. With retail stores and warehouses stacked with inventory, retailers have must insure that their bets on the most in-demand merchandise will play out this holiday season. With the cost of warehouse and logistics rising to all-time levels, retailers do not relish having high levels of left-over inventory. All of that implies that holiday promotions will appear much earlier and most inventory will be targeted for sale by the end of November.
In addition to the labor constraints noted earlier, transportation remains in high demand with constrained supply. Resources were strained when Hurricane Florence struck North and South Carolina in September and in the continued re-building after the storm. As we pen this blog, Hurricane Michael has struggled to a Category 4 storm heading for a direct hit on the Florida panhandle region, and then moving across the U.S. Southeast. This event will further strain trucking capacity.
With more furniture, appliances and household goods being sold online, needs for white glove delivery services will be strained in the coming weeks. In bulk movement of freight, there were already reports that carriers were turning down record levels of movements, and this condition will likely further deteriorate with retailers' attempts to re-position, replenish or shift channel inventories in the coming weeks.
Thus, sloppy planning will have added consequences for cost and customer service penalties.
While consumer confidence remains strong and forecasts for the upcoming holiday period remain positive, B2C and B2B online fulfillment will face new challenges in recruiting added labor and securing added resource requirements for the remainder of the year. New investments in advanced technology will likely provide opportunities to overcome such constraints while accurate and continuous daily and weekly planning will become essential in the coming weeks.
Business outcomes will be fulfilled, and management bonuses will be garnered by those teams that are able to grasp and manage all of these constraints as well as leverage such opportunities. Business competitiveness will come from means and methods to differentiate from Amazon in each of these areas.

36-608 In previous years, a small number of well-prepared graduate students from other departments have been allowed to take this course, by registering for it as 36-608. (Graduate students enrolling in 36-402 will be dropped automatically from the roster.) This year, because of the number of undergraduate students needing to take 402, we have no resources to accommodate students wishing to take 608 for a grade. If space is available in the classroom, a few may be allowed to audit the course.
See the end of this syllabus for the current lecture schedule, subject to revision. Lecture notes will be linked there, as available.
Homework will be 50% of the grade, a midterms exam 20%, and the final exam 30%.
You are responsible for all material covered in lecture, whether or not it is in the textbook. If you are unable to attend a particular lecture, arrange to get notes from a classmate. If you have problems coming to lecture, see me.
The homework will give you practice in using the techniques you are learning to analyze data, and to interpret the analyses. There will be 12 weekly homework assignments, nearly one every week; they will all be due on Wednesdays at 11:59 pm (i.e., the night before Thursday classes), through Blackboard. All homeworks count equally, totaling 50% of your grade. The lowest three homework grades will be dropped; consequently, no late homework will be accepted for any reason whatsoever.
Communicating your results to others is as important as getting good results in the first place. Every homework assignment will require you to write about that week's data analysis and what you learned from it; this writing is part of the assignment and will be graded. As always, raw computer output and R code is not acceptable; your document must be humanly readable. You should submit an R Markdown or knitr file, integrating text, figures and R code; submit both your knitted file and the source. If that is not feasible, contact me as soon as possible. Microsoft Word files get an automatic grade of 0, with no feedback*.
For help on using R Markdown, see "Using R Markdown for Class Reports".
There will be a take-home mid-term exam (20% of your final grade), due at 11:59 pm on Wednesday, 8 March. You will have one week to work on the midterm, and there will be no homework that week. There will also be a take-home final exam (30%), due at 10:30 am on Monday, 8 May. These due date will not be moved once the semester begins; please schedule job interviews and other extra-curricular activities around them.
The exams may require you to use any material already covered in the readings, lectures or assignments. All exams will be cumulative.
Exams must also be submitted through Blackboard, under the same rules about file formats as homework.
The purpose of this course is to help you learn data analysis. The purpose of the assignments is to help you learn by giving you structured opportunities for practice. The purpose grading is primarily to give you feedback, distinguishing what you did well on from what you should work on improving.
The exams will each be curved separately to ensure that they are comparable in scale to the homework before calculating your final grade. You should not presume that an un-curved average of 90 guarantees you an A.
If you believe that particular assignment has been incorrectly graded, tell me as soon as possible. Direct any questions or complaints about your grades to me; the teaching assistants have no authority to make changes. (This also goes for your final letter grade.) Complaints that the thresholds for letter grades are unfair, that you deserve a higher grade, etc., will accomplish much less than pointing to concrete problems in the grading of specific assignments.
As a final word of advice, "what is the least amount of work I need to do in order to get the grade I want?" is a much worse way to approach higher education than "how can I learn the most from this class and from my teachers?".
Solutions for all homework and exams will be available, after their due date, through Blackboard. Do not share them with anyone, even after the course has ended.
To help the instructors get a better sense of how the class is going, every week (after the first week of classes), six students will be selected at random, and will meet with me for 10--15 minutes each, to explain their work and to answer questions about it. You may be selected on multiple weeks, if that's how the random numbers come up. This is not a punishment, but a way to see whether the problem sets are really serving their goal of helping you learn the course material; being selected will not hurt your grade in any way (and might even help).
We will be using the Piazza website for question-answering. You will receive an invitation within the first week of class. Anonymous posting of questions and replies will be allowed, at least initially; if this is abused, anonymity will go away.
Blackboard will be used for submitting assignments electronically, and as a gradebook. All properly enrolled students should have access to the Blackboard site before the first assignment is due.
The primary textbook for the course will be the draft Advanced Data Analysis from an Elementary Point of View . Chapters will be linked to here as they become needed. You are expected to read these chapters, and are unlikely to be able to do the assignments without doing so. (There will be a prize for the student who identifies the most errors by the next-to-last class, presented at the last class meeting.) In addition, Paul Teetor, The R Cookbook (O'Reilly Media, 2011, ISBN 978-0-596-80915-7) is required as a reference.
Everything you turn in for a grade must be your own work, or a clearly acknowledged borrowing from an approved source; this includes all mathematical derivations, computer code and output, figures, and text. Any use of permitted sources must be clearly acknowledged in your work, with citations letting the reader verify your source. You are free to consult the textbook and recommended class texts, lecture slides and demos, any resources provided through the class website, solutions provided to this semester's previous assignments in this course, books and papers in the library, or online resources, though again, all use of these sources must be acknowledged in your work.
In general, you are free to discuss homework with other students in the class, though not to share work; such conversations must be acknowledged in your assignments. You may not discuss the content of assignments with anyone other than current students or the instructors until after the assignments are due. (Exceptions may be made, with prior permission, for approved tutors.) You are, naturally, free to complain, in general terms, about any aspect of the course, to whomever you like.
Any use of solutions provided for any assignment in this course in previous years is strictly prohibited, both for homework and for exams. This prohibition applies even to students who are re-taking the course. Do not copy the old solutions (in whole or in part), do not "consult" them, do not read them, do not ask your friend who took the course last year if they "happen to remember" or "can give you a hint". Doing any of these things, or anything like these things, is cheating, it is easily detected cheating, and those who thought they could get away with it in the past have failed the course.
R is a free, open-source software package/programming language for statistical computing. You should have begun to learn it in 36-401 (if not before), and this class presumes that you have. Every assignment will require you to use it. No other form of computational work will be accepted. If you are not able to use R, or do not have ready, reliable access to a computer on which you can do so, let me know at once.
There is a separate page of resources for learning R.

SFA development office announces three new hires
Amy Roquemore
From left, major gift officer Craig Turnage, prospect research analyst Greg Garcia, and major gift officer Trey Turner make up a new team within SFA's Office of Development that will focus solely on securing major gifts for the university.
The Office of Development at Stephen F. Austin State University has been restructured to include a fundraising team of three new employees who will focus solely on securing major gifts for the university.
The team is made up of prospect research analyst Greg Garcia and major gift officers Craig Turnage and Trey Turner. All three started work at SFA on Monday.
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to welcome the university's first major gift fundraising team," said Dr. John Lewis, interim vice president for development. "With a researcher and two major gift officers, we will be better able to identify and qualify individuals and organizations desiring to support the university and its programs with a major gift commitment."
Both gift officers are SFA alums. Turnage earned a Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice in 2000 and a Master of Public Administration in 2005. Turner graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor of Business Administration and earned a Master of Public Administration in 2002.
"I cherish my memories from the time I spent at SFA, and I am very much looking forward to giving back to the institution, which helped me so much," said Turnage, a Nacogdoches native and former director of enrollment management at Tyler Junior College. "I am also very excited about supporting the Office of Development's efforts to raise needed funds for programs and services that benefit the students and faculty."
Turner, who also hails from Nacogdoches, echoed that sentiment, saying is he eager to put his education and experience to work for his alma mater.
"Much of the success I have attained in my career is attributable to the solid education and training I received at SFA," said Turner, who previously worked in pharmaceutical sales. "I'm grateful for the chance to give back to SFA, and I'm excited to know that my efforts will have a direct impact on the future of the university."
Garcia, the Office of Development's new researcher, earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of Houston in 2006, one in political science and one in history. He was most recently employed as library supervisor at his alma mater.
"Some of the most successful people I know graduated from SFA, including my wife and several other family members," said Garcia, who grew up in Houston. "I have great respect for the university, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to help this team raise funds that will benefit SFA students for years to come."

In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to recycle paper using cold silicone molds. This is a great crafting idea that you can do with kids.
Using a two-part cold silicone mold making product, empty egg cartons, white glue, water, acrylic paint, glue and some findings you can make all kind of wearable items. You can design your own unique shapes to make molds of. Or, you can make molds from items you find around the house.
Here's a secret for more advanced jewelers. Although it isn't demonstrated in this video, you can pour melted inlay way into the same silicone molds. Let the wax chill in the mold for a bit. Then, dump out the wax that isn't solidified. After letting the wax chill in the mold for a little while longer, you can pop out a wax model that's perfectly hollowed out for casting.

The Kalari Lachlan River Arts Festival team is hoping to ignite local imaginations as they shift the date of the biennial event to winter. This year's festival will be held in Victoria Park on June 15, and now is the time to bring your ideas to the table and be part of it. The festival has a Regional Arts NSW grant to engage a festival coordinator, and Rob Shannon is returning to the role. The Bathurst-based Shannon, who grew up on a local farm, has now been involved with the River Arts Festival for a number of years. He is encouraging local artists, dancers, musicians, poets, writers to be part of this year's event. "This is very much an opportunity for all these people to have a place," he said. "You don't have to be a certified, practising artist or musician. "This is a community cultural festival and it's got to be fuelled by the community. "It's a place where people can express themselves." The "ignite" theme has many ideas behind it: the committee hopes to ignite conversations and ignite ideas. It's still in the early stages, so now is the time to bring ideas for events around that weekend to the team. They are happy to work with people to make bring a range of ideas to reality. The park will host art installations, with regional artists getting involved and more invited to bring their work, works in progress are very welcome. Dancers, musicians, poets and writers are also encouraged to be part of it. There will be food vans, and plans for a beautiful evening out for all the family to enjoy are coming together. With the early nightfall just a week out from winter solstice, and the beautiful lights now in the park, the plan is also to light the heritage buildings around the Victoria Park square. Surrounded by historic churches, the Vandenberg Hotel, police station, court house and Town Hall, the location is picturesque. "One of the things we want to 'ignite' is a stronger appreciation of this historical square," the committee's Margot Jolly said. The team is also planning creative workshops in the lead-up to the festival day. You can contact festival coordinator Rob Shannon by emailing robdha@bigpond.com or phoning 0415 223 267.

An interview from the 2018 National Association of Broadcasters Convention in Las Vegas with Arthur Mason of ChyronHego. ChyronHego, a portfolio company of Vector Capital, is a global leader in products, services, and solutions for the broadcast and sports industries. Specializing in live television, news, and sports production, ChyronHego offers some of the industry's most widely deployed solutions — including Lyric, the world's most popular broadcast graphics creation and playout offering; the all-new CAMIO Universe newsroom workflow; and the TRACAB optical sports tracking system. In this interview Arthur talks with us about their Virtual Placement for Live Video.
ChyronHego product designers created a solution that is easy to learn and doesn't require any specialist camera encoders or lengthy calibration processes, so you can get your sponsor's content on-air quickly and without error. The system can be used in virtually any live broadcast scenario from augmenting physical studio-sets with virtual objects, to much larger scenes such as sports arenas, race-tracks or landscapes.
The latest version of Virtual Placement includes Scene Tracking, ChyronHego's latest method of optical tracking. Scene Tracking is unique as it's able to gather metrics without using pitch lines or sensors. With Virtual Placement's Scene Tracking, a panoramic image is created such that the system can "learn" what the world it is viewing looks like.
The aim throughout is simple: to place virtual elements into a live scene to make them look physically real and in harmony with the environment they are projected into, with the potential benefit of additional advertising placement revenue.
Virtual Placement is based upon highly advanced image-processing algorithms and uses only the live video feed to calculate the real-time pan, tilt and zoom movement of the broadcast camera. The result is a highly accurate, low-latency and reliable tool that can make what has always been a complex and time-consuming task a much easier proposition.
With the addition of optional software modules, Virtual Placement can also be deployed in specific production scenarios. For downstream production workflows, a special anchor-tracking module uses scene-cut detection technology to cope with the challenges of placing virtual graphics into multi-camera feeds.

Groundbreaking research purposed to unlock financial obstacles in the MENA social space
I4C MENA November 25th, 2021
The Civil Society Ecosystem in the Middle East and North Africa can be described as complex, as it is linked to multiple local, regional, and international variables of change, as well as political, economic, and social upheavals and the institutionalized power structures that create a restrictive environment for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and deliberately obstruct development work in the region.
While Civil Society Organizations in the MENA region continue to face social skepticism when it comes to their legitimacy and their work, some MENA governments maintain the operations to restrict foreign funding through complicated approval processes and other centralized governmental regulations on funds transfers, which leave the civil society sector in the MENA limited in ensuring its financial sustainability. These obstacles are reflected through legal limits on the establishment's functions and funding of CSOs, and less formally by misapplication of these legal tools and the use of administrative barriers.
CSOs and the social sector in MENA should play a role in advocating for the needs of their communities and building successful relationships with technologists, technology companies, and policymakers. Digital currencies can be a game-changer, as there is fascinating work being done in the blockchain sector, yet; the MENA civil society sector is in dire need of training and capacity building about the use of digital currencies in the civic sector in order to achieve notable outcomes using these technologies.
In January 2019, the Innovation for Change Middle East and North Africa Hub published the Digital Currencies & the Civic Sector in the MENA Region that was the first mapping and assessment of digital money and crowdfunding in relatively open spaces in the region: Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco, and Lebanon. The mapping's main goal was to give a critical assessment of the possibilities of digital currencies and blockchain for the civic sector in the region. The mapping discussed the ties between cryptocurrencies and the readiness of the targeted countries in the region to adopt this technology as the essence of blockchain is decentralization, transparency, accountability, and immutability, which allows users to communicate and exchange currency with one another from anywhere in the world without the need for an intermediary, a technology to help CSOs surpass their current challenges in maintaining their organizational sustainability.
The I4C MENA team launched the second phase of the research in the same year to cover countries in closed spaces within the MENA region, namely Algeria, Egypt, Palestine, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and to assess the feasibility, potential, and challenges of digital money projects in these countries, as well as the legal frameworks and actors that are influencing the ecosystem, the mapping discussed Fintech and Crowdfunding as "Alternative Finance Benchmarking Report," which indicated that the Middle East and North Africa region is still at the early stages of crowdfunding compared to the global market. However, MENA has established donation- and reward-based crowdfunding activity.
The COVID-19 global pandemic hit in 2020, the MENA civil society sector struggle grew with the lack of available funding, increasing government and donors restrictions in response to CSOs needs for support in circumventing traditional funding models; I4C MENA launched a third phase of the Digital Currencies & the Civic Sector in the MENA Region research in June 2021 focusing on three countries in conflict zones including Syria, Yemen, and Libya, this phase of the researchers mapped out the various literature and media resources available to study the identified variables of financial technology, particularly digital currencies and blockchain technology, and their potential for civil society development in the three countries under focus.
Rajae Boujnah, the Innovation for Change MENA Hub manager, commented: "Many CSOs are in a constant struggle to sustain their operations due to local environments that can be traditionally hostile to ensuring sustainability and accelerating innovation. While donors and governments' restrictions on funding continue to exist, our work as civil society activists should focus on advocating for the adoption of flexible alternative funding models that are adapted to local needs and contexts.

It is most likely that when you are raising a young family, the future will be among in your top lists. When a person is living a free and single life, it is understandable that the demands of tomorrow is not a priority. It will be different however when you have children since the huge responsibility will make you think ahead. We do not like to imagine something horrible to happen to our family, but to be prepared on unforeseen things to happen that will keep them safe is the most sensible thing to do. Therefore, it is advisable that you consider the possible risks that could happen and come up with safeguard solutions. There are some ways therefore that can help you go on a head start to protect your family from possible risks.
In times of emergency conditions, the first thing you have to do is to prepare a medical kit. It is practical to have a kit in your home and in your car. Statistics would reveal that nine times out of ten, you will just be needing some antiseptic wipes and a band aid, but it is still better to fill your kit with the basic equipment that might be useful in some incidents. There are some extreme emergencies though, and this you should also be prepared especially if you have children with specific conditions. For example if you have a child that is asthmatic, it is better to have the medical kit secured in a safe place that you would know easily the location if you need to give your child the inhaler.
In our modern world today where children can use the technology, it is advisable to take simple measures that will help them keep safe. One way is to use protective software that require passwords thus limiting what the children will view.
Investing in insurance is another suggestion to protect the future of your family. As you come across with several policies, it is better to find an honest and independent advice and select the right insurance policy for your family. Try not to be caught in the trials of life by preparing for any eventuality, and you can do this by protecting your finances and secure your child's future by having a clean plan set.
The next measure that you can take is to secure your home by not letting it compromised and thus will secure the home where your family lives and relax in. Think of the areas which will make your home vulnerable and make sure that you are putting in place household security that is very efficient. Today, we are lucky to have many simple and cheap ways that will secure our household without spending so much money.
