Three successful Houston artists, Shreddi, 2:12 and Garro hit the streets to say bid adieu to 2013.
2:12 has been the featured artist in several galleries this year. He's been experimenting with several new techniques and materials including working on tiles. He tucked some tiles up on the street about six months ago, and wheat pasted a few large portraits but didn't have much inspiration to hit the street.
I had that piece (belly dancer) set aside since 2011 and had the spot in mind just as long. Shreddi hit me up about going out so I decided to finish it up. Wheat pasting is more fun with a friend.
Here's hoping that 2014 will bring Houston a resurgence of both new and veteran street artists and a renaissance of art.
*Readers: please let me know when/where you find new work. Let's try to keep a record of what's happening on the street in Houston!

The single most common scenario that leads to a birth injury lawsuit is when a medical team fails to properly monitor a child during birth, distress arises, the distress is missed, and emergency steps are not taken quick enough to prevent injury or death. Many of the stories we share about children who develop cerebral palsy as a result of birthing complications fit this model. Often, the fetal distress leads to oxygen deprivation which damages the brain and brings about the cerebral palsy.
Unfortunately, sometimes the lack of oxygen continues for too long, making it impossible for the already vulnerable fetus to survive. That is allegedly what happened to a woman during a complicated delivery in 2011 which has led to a new injury lawsuit.
As discussed this week in the Dispatch, the plaintiff in the case is a thirty year old mother who went into the defendant hospital to have labor induced. The mother was forty weeks and two days pregnant, and in order to spur the delivery, she was given inducement drugs. It is important to note that, even before going in for the scheduled inducement, the medical team should have been aware of a few risk factors that existed for the mother. A previous delivery resulted in some complicated, and during this pregnancy she had gestational diabetes. Awareness of those factors may play a role in the lawsuit, as the doctors' knowledge impacts what is or is not reasonable conduct in any given situation.
Sadly, the delivery in this case also came with complications. According to allegations made in the medical malpractice complaint, there were signs throughout the day that the child was experiencing fetal distress. Though, the mother claims that those signs did not spur the medical team to take any action. It was not until well over thirteen hours after the induction that the delivery actually took place. By then, problems had escalated. The baby was born while not breathing. The baby never actually took a breath and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
This was an obvious tragedy for the family, and they eventually began asking questions to figure out what went wrong. Should it have been prevented? Those concerns and unanswered questions soon led them to seek out the help of an attorney. Just last week a malpractice lawsuit was filed.
The main argument made in the complaint which initiated the lawsuit is that the medical team should have noticed the signs of fetal distress far earlier. If they would have done so, steps could have been taken to relieve the stress and prevent the tragedy. More specifically, a C-section could have been performed to relieve the child immediately. But the signs were ignored and the baby did not make it.
This exact chain of events occurs with too much frequency. It is critical that those families affected in this way receive redress for their losses and help to prevent future harm to other patients.

The association between emergency department crowding and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chest pain.
Acad Emerg Med. 2009 Jul; 16(7):617-25.AE
While emergency department (ED) crowding is a worldwide problem, few studies have demonstrated associations between crowding and outcomes. The authors examined whether ED crowding was associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chest pain syndromes (chest pain or related complaints of possible cardiac origin).
A retrospective analysis was performed for patients >or=30 years of age with chest pain syndrome admitted to a tertiary care academic hospital from 1999 through 2006. The authors compared rates of inpatient adverse outcomes from ED triage to hospital discharge, defined as delayed acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, hypotension, dysrhythmias, and cardiac arrest, which occurred after ED arrival using five separate crowding measures.
Among 4,574 patients, 251 (4%) patients developed adverse outcomes after ED arrival; 803 (18%) had documented acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and of those, 273 (34%) had AMI. Compared to less crowded times, ACS patients experienced more adverse outcomes at the highest waiting room census (odds ratio [OR] = 3.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.3 to 11.0) and patient-hours (OR = 5.2, 95% CI = 2.0 to 13.6) and trended toward more adverse outcomes during time of high ED occupancy (OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.0 to 9.3). Adverse outcomes were not significantly more frequent during times with the highest number of admitted patients (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 0.6 to 4.1) or the highest trailing mean length of stay (LOS) for admitted patients transferred to inpatient beds within 6 hours (OR = 1.5, 95% CI = 0.5 to 4.0). Patients with non-ACS chest pain experienced more adverse outcomes during the highest waiting room census (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.4 to 8.4) and patient-hours (OR = 4.3, 95% CI = 2.6 to 7.3), but not occupancy (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 0.9 to 3.3), number of admitted patients (OR = 0.6, 95% CI 0.4 to 1.1), or trailing LOS for admitted patients (OR = 1.2, 95% CI = 0.6 to 2.0).
There was an association between some measures of ED crowding and a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with both ACS-related and non-ACS-related chest pain syndrome.

The Art of Communication in Data Science – through the lens of experience
Published by Subhadra Dutta | Assistant Vice President, Client Solutions
Communication is of paramount importance in every aspect of our lives. Data science is no exception. However, the additional complexity that Data Scientists live with is that they are required to closely interact with diverse groups of people even within a single project lifecycle. To put things into perspective, see the diagram below that captures the project lifecycle of a typical analytics project as per the internationally accepted CRISP-DM framework, and some examples of the various type of people involved at each stage.
In this blog, we at Analyttica Datalab want to provide you with some exposure around the different types of people you would work with at different stages of a typical project in data science. This diversified interaction requires customized communication across different people. We have compiled the finer nuances of communication across various types and seniority of people, from the vast and diversified experience in analytics consulting and delivery,
The type and channel of communication would vary for different audience and so would the content. Here we will take you through a typical data science project lifecycle using the widely-renowned Seven C's of effective communication – Completeness, Conciseness, Consideration, Clarity, Concreteness, Courtesy and Correctness. Depending on the type of people you are interacting with, both the order and the magnitude of each of these principles would change for most impact. Let's understand this through the different stages of the project lifecycle of a typical data analytics project.
Stage 1: Business Understanding
This stage sets the basic context for the understanding of the business in general and the specific problem that you are trying to solve for. At this stage, you will be initiated into the project by the manager of the project at the client/business side. This person could be a product/marketing/analytics/business manager depending on the kind of organization structure the business has. This stage is foundational to the project and often to the relationship or contract as well, hence the communication should be capable of setting the right expectation with both sides. Clarity and concreteness would assume a big role within the communication principles here. Also, given that this stage is often the stepping stone for a new relationship, the degree of formality through courtesy and the ability to think from their point of view are also critical elements of the communication at this stage.
Stage 2: Data Understanding
This is the stage where a Data scientist gets into the actual business – data. At this stage, the interactions are mostly with highly technical individuals or teams such as Data warehousing teams, business intelligence teams or other data scientists. With these people, clarity, completeness, concreteness and correctness of the communication assumes primary role because the understanding of data of the client/business is the basic premise for any good analytical solution.
Stage 3: Data Preparation
This stage is similar to the previous stage in its communication ethos except this stage is an assimilative stage wherein, a lot of the learnings from the previous stage is processed and synthesized. This is also a stage where a significant share of communication will be with direct internal team members, hence the ability to leverage existing work relationships into communication will play a key role here.
Stage 4: Modeling
This stage, though called Modeling as per the CRISP-DM framework, actually refers to the creation of analytical solutions which would ultimately solve the business problem. This stage is where the data scientist often works with their own team to help create the solution. However, given that most of the work that goes into creation of this solution is highly technical, the communication needs to be articulated with clarity and conciseness. The ability to translate an analytical solution into a business solution is often the key differentiator between a good and great data scientist. This is also the stage where the recommendation of the data scientist is often the final word, as long as the client/business can interpret them. An analyst who has confidence in their recommendation as well as their analytical prowess usually does a better job in this stage.
Stage 5: Evaluation
This is the stage where the analytical solution – converted business solution is shared with the key stakeholder at the client/business side. This is where the data scientist shares their work with the work requestor and at times with senior team member in the client organization. This is where the art of storytelling in analytics plays out. The communication principles which are to be used in this stage should ultimately make your audience feel proud about the decision to engage you to work on their business problem. Hence, at this stage all the seven C's of communication play a pivotal role. In addition, the way you lay out the content of the discussion, usually in a PowerPoint presentation becomes critical for this stage. There are many articles on the web providing various recommendations for presentation creation but one thumb rule which always helps is to try to think from a pyramidal perspective – the most senior person in the audience to the most junior person. What each of them would want to know for them to make a decision of evaluating your work for implementation, should be at the heart of your presentation content.
Stage 6: Deployment
This is the stage where it comes to life, and hence the most rewarding stage for a data scientist. At this stage, the analytical solution created by you would be implemented in the client/business systems and/or processes. Some examples of these are marketing campaigns, risk scorecard in marketing and collections systems, fraud detection rules in contact systems, proactive attrition flags in contact channels, recommendations in e-commerce pages, targeted advertisements on social media pages etc. At this stage, the data scientist would be interacting with various IT and execution teams to get their analytical solutions into the execution platforms of the client/business. Clarity, completeness, concreteness and correctness of the communication would become significant here to ensure that what gets implemented is what was recommended. What also follows the Deployment stage is the "Measurement" stage which is about measuring the impact of the solution from real-time implementation. This stage involves all the above project life stages and corresponding communication principles by turning the output into a story pre-and post implementation with concrete metrics, that can be understood in simple language. Ultimately this stage feeds into the Stage 1 as a continuous learning and feedback loop for future improvement.
Ultimately, communication is all about understanding and being understood. Hence at all times, the balance between listening and speaking needs to be maintained. As Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

Firefighters are on scene at the Douglas Family Preserve for a cliffside rescue. Resources are 3 engine companies a truck company and heavy rescue company and a Battalion Chief. Santa Barbara Police Department is also assisting.
Please remember anytime you are walking in the preserve or near cliff-sides to stay away from the edge.
Cliff Rescue in the 2400 Block of Mesa School Lane subject on the cliff.
In regards to criticizing the number of emergency responders: I was there, on the beach, when the good citizen called 911 to report the guy on the cliff. There were a lot of us on the beach as it was sunset. I imagine the police/fire was preparing to evacuate the beach below where he might fall, plus crowd control on the beach and the parking lot. They also needed crew at the top-- Douglas Preserve. Thank God this guy didn't jump and a big thank you to the woman that called for help.
Sorry, I agree with the people who think the fire and police response is OVERKILL. Big time. One, maybe two trucks could handle it. And how many cops do you need? They clearly aren't doing their job on other crime related things when that many cops show up. I see this in routine traffic stops too. Two or three cars to stop Grandma. CoME ON! This is too much.
I still remember the phrase about 'safety in numbers', which is why I am concerned with safety when I see a lone police officer pulling over a car for what may indeed be a routine traffic stop. No matter who appears to be driving. As far as rescuing someone. That can be difficult when the person is cooperative. Even more so when they want to harm themselves. They may think nothing of other people's safety. I would much rather see them show up in large numbers, and reduce them as they work out the problem and decide what is actually needed, than have them need to call for more personnel, and/or equipment, and wait. Sometimes there isn't time for waiting, when a person's life is at stake. And, it isn't as though a fire unit, ambulance, or police car can't go somewhere else quickly if things change, and they are needed elsewhere more.
How many police have been shot, and/or killed during a 'routine traffic stop' (such as for a tail/brake light being out)? And, they can't always see that 'just' Grandma is in the car. I always say a prayer for everyone's safety, when I see someone pulled over.
One of the reasons other "agencies" show up is for training purposes, where the rescue can be observed by those who have not been involved in, let's say, a night time cliff rescue of an unstable subject.
Hendry's parking lot may be County, but The Wilcox is 100% City Park.
Actually the Co. Park encompasses more than just the parking lot and having worked with County Fire while at County Roads I can assure you that both City and County Fire are aware of who owns Wilcox. However when dispatched as mutual aid as in this case and countless calls along Modoc, Tunnel or Gibraltar Rds., Even Foothill, just to name a few they don't argue as you are appearing to but release unneeded resources from the other jurisdictions first. Also this appeared to be a life or death situation which could well have needed all the personnel responding as they could not wait for Search and Rescue.
It's fine if lots of police and fire folk show up for something like this. If another emergency occurs elsewhere, they can peel off and go to that. No harm done.
Nanny us NOT! Life is dangerous and no one gets out alive. No fences, no new laws.
I don't think it was overkill There was mutual aide with county because that's a county park per what TAGDES said below...A full City Fire response on a cliff rescue is a requirement they do it on rollover traffic accidents too. Different engines have different equipment. Hook and Ladder might have been used it just happened it wasn't needed...Only 5 PD Units? Crowd control on the cliffs and on the beach officers to keep people back..Negotiator to talk the man down. Plus the man had possibly committed a crime earlier in the day I don't think it's overkill at all..Every responder there played a part in the rescue.
I'm sure they will take your feedback into account next time...because your professional training with emergency response is? I wish the armchair warriors could know how ridiculous they sound.
@0044 How many people would you want helping if it was for a member of your family? Remember when people call 911 with their cellphones they can end up sending out the emergency calls to different First Responders so that is how so many show up. A cliff rescue at night is dangerous for everyone so the more help the better. Remember they saved a life with all their efforts and that is truly what matters.
How does it take five fire trucks including the hook and ladder and five police cars( several of the cars showed up later with their flashing lights racing to the scene ) that I counted to rescue a suicidal person they jeopardize our complete public service for somebody else In need and why so many vehicles and people for one incident?
You're just annoyed because there were more first responders than there is punctuation in your ridiculous sentence. Try not to take someone's mental health crisis response so personally next time.
We live in hard times and turmoil. For those who are particularly vulnerable to believing things will always be the way they are, it's easy to lose hope. The reality is things may get better or worse but can't ever stay the same. Hate contracts people and love expands them. The first has a limit (extinction), the second doesn't.
Let's hope he gets the help he needs to lend his life meaning.
Whewww. After reading these comments, I wish that I could go back in time, and have a couple of "stiffies" at Pasqual's to calm down. That Mr. Pasqual Gamboa sure knew how throw down a drink. Glad to hear the gent on the cliffs is ok.
I'm sure glad he did not jump.
You're welcome. Glad they talked him back up.
SUBJECT IS CLIMBING UP THE CLIFF TOWARD POLICE.
Checking the Hendry's parking lot for the possible subjects' vehicle from Carp. who may be suffering from some issues he said he would deal with in Santa Barbara.
Requesting CARES...I hope they get there soon.
Alot of responders on scene.
Setting up ropes and lights where the logs cross the road in the preserve.
Subject is holding a red piece of paper.
Verbal contact with the subject..
Subject aprox. 200 feet up on the ledge..
Subject reported as a male on the cliff..
Can hear sirens all the way at Foothill and San Roque Road. Does that make sense that fire response would come from so far away?
Yes , that's County Engine 15 from Mission Cyn. responding to Hendry's mutual aid since it's a county park.
Changing channels on me so if someone hears it feel free to report it.

Audio Tagging

             View page source

Audio Tagging¶

The goal of audio tagging is to assign tags (one or many) to audio signal. Tags can be considered as sound events
without timing information (onset or offset).

Metrics¶

Main functions:

sed_eval.audio_tag.AudioTaggingMetrics.evaluate: Calculate intermediate values for evaluation and accumulate them.

sed_eval.audio_tag.AudioTaggingMetrics.results: Calculate and return all metrics.

sed_eval.audio_tag.AudioTaggingMetrics.results_overall_metrics: Calculate and return overall metrics (micro-averaged).

sed_eval.audio_tag.AudioTaggingMetrics.results_class_wise_metrics: Calculate and return class-wise metrics.

sed_eval.audio_tag.AudioTaggingMetrics.results_class_wise_average_metrics: Calculate and return class-wise average metrics (macro-averaged).

Function sed_eval.audio_tag.AudioTaggingMetrics.evaluate takes as a parameter tag lists,
(use dcase_util.containers.MetaDataContainer to read them from a file), and probability lists (use dcase_util.containers.ProbabilityContainer to read them from a file).

As the school year resumes after the new year, teachers are often looking for activities for students to record their New Year's Resolutions. However, I think it's important for students to record their goals ALL year and be aware of the necessary steps to accomplish their goal.
If you're interested in reading about how I implement this in my classroom, take a look at my blog post here.
I use this resource daily/weekly for students to record the tasks they'd like to accomplish that day.
I hope your students enjoy this FREEBIE as much as my students have!

Mere possession of anything can't be a krime. There must be possession plus… something. What "something"? To be a krime there has to be possession plus archation–possession plus an act which violates someone, and mere possession doesn't. It can't.
Possession is passive. Believing this violates someone is basically the same as believing offending someone violates them– it's like believing in "microaggressions". No one has a right to not be offended, and no one has the right to prohibit mere possession of something.
But then I thought and considered this from every angle for a decade or two and finally came to realize it didn't end there. Mere possession of anything doesn't violate anyone, ever. I keep trying to think of a way to passively archate– violate someone in some real way without acting– and I haven't yet.
For possession of anything anywhere to be archation you have to have possession plus. Plus a credible threat to archate. Plus aggression. Plus theft. Plus radiation or some other active dispersal of something physically harmful onto another person or their private property. Plus something. Because mere possession isn't a violation of anyone's rights.
You can possess any religious beliefs you want. You can possess those beliefs wherever you go, even when on the private property of someone with different religious beliefs. This is passive. No one can possibly be violated by your religion– no matter what it is– until you put your beliefs into action by actually doing something; by no longer passively possessing those beliefs, but by acting them out. By whipping them out and waving them around, as it were. You can be banned from performing rituals on someone else's property, but they can't reasonably (or ethically) ban you from passively possessing religious beliefs they oppose while on their property. It's just none of their business.

HRL develop a low-power cold-atom source for atomic clocks and physics experiments

MALIBU, Calif. July 27, 2017 -- HRL Laboratories, LLC, researchers have developed a reversible alkali atom source that runs at low power and low voltage, which is beneficial in applications such as smaller, more efficient, and ultimately portable atomic clocks that use cold atoms. The research on the device was published online June 13, 2017 in Applied Physics Letters.
"There are two basic types of atomic clocks, some operate at room temperature and some use atoms cooled down to just above absolute zero," said Chris Roper, HRL's project leader and senior author on the paper. "Scientists have managed to miniaturize room temperature atomic clocks, but cold-atom atomic clocks are much more accurate, so DARPA would like to have miniaturized versions of those too. The problem is that cold-atom clocks come with a whole host of added difficulties. Our device is a big step toward solving many of those problems."
This HRL research project, Solid Electrolyte Rubidium Vapor Orchestration (SERVO), was part of a larger Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program called Enabling Component Technology for Cold-Atom Microsystems (CAMS). Because modern communications, navigation, and electronic warfare depend on accurate timekeeping, according to DARPA the success of the CAMS program will benefit nearly every US defense system.
The HRL device could enable lighter weight platforms with fewer batteries or longer duration missions. To operate at temperatures near 100 microkelvin, it is necessary to capture a subset of atoms from a warm vapor--a vapor of the alkali element rubidium in the HRL device -- and cool them down. The cooled atoms are trapped, and the more background warm atoms there are in the chamber, the weaker the signal-to-noise ratio is for the cold atoms, which reduces device accuracy.
The HRL device uses materials originally developed for batteries to remove only the warm rubidium atoms. This will reduce measurement noise and increase accuracy when integrated into a cold-atom clock. It will also keep the cold atoms cold for longer, enabling greater accuracy in atomic clocks, especially at higher operating temperatures.
"Our device can be integrated in a platform with smaller batteries because it uses much less power than traditional rubidium sources and it is reversible, depending on the polarity of the voltage applied, so it works as a source or a sink," Roper said. "Our research is continuing and we're very excited about our results thus far."
Other HRL scientists who were authors on the paper were Russell Mott, Logan Sorenson, and Matthew Rakher. Songbai Kang, Kevin Gilmore, Liz Donley, and John Kitching from the collaborative team of the National Institute of Standards and Technology also were authors.

India's Surgical Strikes: Walking Into Pakistan's Trap?
India's elite have become more and more disillusioned by strategic restraint. Pakistan noticed – and baited its trap.
By Sandeep Singh for The Diplomat
India's recent claim to have conducted surgical strikes on alleged terror launch pads in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK), a disputed territory between India and Pakistan, has generated much euphoria among the general public and the wider strategic community in India. While the public excitement was mostly to be expected, the glee inside India's wider strategic community could be a cause for concern. It raises important questions about whether such strategists have an accurate understanding of surgical strikes, and their efficacy as either a military tactic or a strategic response to India's wider security challenges.
If the narrative emanating from New Delhi is to be believed, then it is being suggested that there is a significant policy shift, abandoning the much disdained policy of strategic restraint in favor of a militarily assertive behavior. Although it is too early to assert that there is a radical shift in the Indian state's national security policy, this piece aims to caution India's strategic elites to stop short of getting entrapped in Pakistan's strategic ambush – the "strategic ambush" being a temptation to the Indian political elites to initiate military action against Pakistan, which in turn, offers Islamabad a much desired strategic parity with India.
Prior to any further discussion, it is important to note a few observations about surgical strikes. First, for a long time there has been a growing inclination within the Indian strategic community toward adopting "surgical strikes" as an effective military tactic in responding to range of security challenges faced by the Indian state. The Modi government has demonstrated an intent to respond positively to this growing demand within India's strategic community. Previously, India has claimed to execute similar attacks in Myanmar to neutralize alleged terrorists.
However, given the distance of penetrated foreign territory from the origin of the attack, and the tentative geographic location of the area under attack, it would be more appropriate to depict these attacks as "border raids" than surgical strike. The military term "surgical strike" is more appropriate for instances involving an attack deep inside the enemy territory, with a substantial use of air power.
Perhaps the most important fact is that such strikes are not without precedent in India's military history. Such attacks have happened in the past; the only thing that is new is that India's political leadership has publicly owned it up this time. The way in which these "border raids" were publicly acknowledged by none other than the director general of military operations (DGMO), army chief, minister of defense, and prime minister accentuates one important fact – these raids were anything but a military tactic. In contemporary military science, a military tactic is considered a lowest level of planning, after strategy and organization, and seldom requires such a public oversight from the country's topmost leadership as demonstrated in this case by the Modi government.
A discussion on the foundation, and perceived abandonment, of strategic restraint, is beyond the scope of this piece, yet it is important to acknowledge that India's political elites and wider strategic community have perennially lived under the debilitating shadow of strategic restraint. Undoubtedly, India faces a gamut of security challenges, the likes of which no other state in the international system of comparable national power is currently experiencing. Apart from facing the normal, tangible external security threats emanating from Pakistan to the west, and China to the north and northeast, India is exposed to the perennial threats of internal insurgencies and cross-border terrorism. However, it is not just the multitude of security challenges alone that makes India's situation precarious. Instead, it is the restiveness within India's strategic community vis-a-vis the shadow of strategic restraint, which has been so persuasively imposed on the current Indian strategic thinking that India's choices of action in securing the nation becomes difficult.
It is important to note that no other nation comparable to India's size, status, and power in international relations has to ever fight a battle of perception of this magnitude about their ability to defend themselves against any adversary. Every time the Indian state has to exercise military power against what it perceives as a threat to its national security, policymakers have to simultaneously wage a war against the ghost of strategic restraint. One important architect of this web of strategic restraint was George Tanham's powerful essay, written immediately after the end of the Cold War, which asserted that India had no strategic culture.
Ever since then, there has been a notable restiveness within the Indian strategic community, seeking to break the web of strategic restraint that often threatens to muddle Indian strategic thinking. Since a wider section of this strategic community finds a natural affinity with the current government in New Delhi, as a consequence, this government also appears to be influenced by the same restiveness. This explains the current hullabaloo in New Delhi about the recent alleged surgical strikes.
On the contrary, what is clearly evident in this instance is the fact that India's strategic adversaries, at least those on the northwestern frontiers, have an accurate understanding about the inherent restiveness in India's strategic community, and more so, within the new government in Delhi. This explains a conspicuous shift in the strategy of terror attacks allegedly emanating from Pakistan ever since the change of government in New Delhi in 2014, where targets have been security forces installations such as Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Udhampur, and Uri. The objective seems to be to exasperate the current government, which is clearly seen to chafe at strategic restraint, with the hope that Delhi ultimately falls into the strategic ambush of Pakistan.
Pakistan has always managed to maintain strategic parity with India for most of its history as an independent state. That is to say, the international community has always clubbed India and Pakistan together as dangerous, nuclearized rivals. It is only in the last decade that India has succeeded in breaking away from this dualism and crafting a global identity as independent from Pakistan – a situation of acute discomfort for Islamabad.
There seems to be an understanding within Pakistan's military planners that a military conflict in the region, especially one where Pakistan is seen as being forced to take recourse to war, has the potential to elevate Pakistan's strategic parity with India. Evidence suggests that the current Indian government is being slowly dragged into that strategic ambush by their western neighbor.

Dak On Amari Trade: "I'm So Excited About It"
When the Dallas Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper on Monday, Dak Prescott was on a plane.
Indeed, the Cowboys sent a 2019 first-round pick to the Raiders for Cooper. The 24-year-old has been inconsistent over the last year-and-a-half but began his career with back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons.
Prescott was thrilled with the trade.
Dallas (3-4) has alternated losses and wins this year but hopes Cooper will improve the offense. The Cowboys rank 29th in passing offense and 26th in scoring offense (20.0 points per game).
Jason Garrett has come under fire this season, but Prescott said the team is solely focused on winning.
The Cowboys, who have a bye this week, host the Titans (3-4) on Monday Night Football on Nov. 5. Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET.

I'm developing a quiz like game for Android and I'm using the Input Field to accept input from user. There is one issue which I'm facing, when I click on the input field, it launches the default keyboard and this keyboard hides the Input field. How can I solve this? In fact it would be great if you could give me ideas on how to implement a custom keyboard.
Custom Keyboards are the most tedious but easiest thing you can make. Its really as simple is making buttons for each letter then firing events for each to them to a Keyboard class to add that character to your input string.
then you check the "Hide Mobile Input" on the bottom.
Saying this another solution is to "move" the Input Field into the view area when it is selected so that the Android Keyboard no longer hides it. Might be Tight if your going Landscape mode though.
How do I detect if the keyboard is hiding the input field?
Its kind of guess work, it depends on each device and unity doesn't have a built in way I know of.
Doesn't seem to be feasible then.. Best way is to build a custom keyboard I feel. Please elaborate on how to achieve this?
you can, it just involves a bit of mathematics with two Rect(s).
The way to check if two Rect(s) intersect is here (follow the Algorithm, its in C++ so don't bother with Copying and pasting).
As for the custom keyboard if your bent on making one, as I said its easy but kinda repetitive. Basically they I'd have it is to set up pages of Buttons. so you get your lower case, upper case symbols and numbers and whatever.
First Create a Panel name it keyboard ,and size it to your keyboard size, then create yet another panel , make it the parent of Keyboard and name it LowerCaseAlpha. Make these a Prefab and store in Resources Somewhere, this way you can call upon it anywhere in the game if for some reason it has been deleted from your scene.
Now create a bunch of buttons for your lower case, be sure to add a SHIFT button, A DONE or ENTER Button, A BACKSPACE button and a Symbol access button(on some keyboard sit looks like +-?!).
Repeat for the other pages as needed.
Now got to your keyboard object and create a Script called Onscreen Keyboard. Now make a string variable for your text input, and maybe an UI reference variable called textOBject for what to send the text to.
Make a public function that has a string parameter and call it CharInput, this will appended you input to the end of the input string. if you want you have send the input string now to the InputField of you want to see it update as they type. Basically when you clisk a button, add a OnClick Receiver for it that and add your corresponding character to it.
Next is our Shift/Symbol Button, there alot of way to do this , the best is to keep all but the active pages hidden, and select them by deactivating all children then activate the one you want.

Heads of terms signed for £700m Tay Cities Region Deal
Representatives of the UK and Scottish governments joined four local council leaders and business and academic chiefs in Perth today to formally sign the £700 million Tay Cities Region Deal.
Officially agreed at a ceremony at Perth & Kinross Council's HQ this morning after months of negotiations, the heads of terms agreement commits both governments to work collaboratively with the partners to deliver a deal that will create "a smarter and fairer Angus, Dundee, Fife and Perth & Kinross".
The Tay Cities Region Deal has seen the Scottish Government pledge £200m while the UK Government unveiled an offer of £150m in Chancellor Philip Hammond's autumn Budget last month.
The overall investment has potential to lever in more than £400m of investment over the next decade.
The deal will bankroll more than 20 major projects across Tayside and Fife, creating more than 6,000 jobs.
Among the wide-ranging schemes which will benefit include a regional culture and tourism investment programme, as well as the transformation of Perth City Hall.
Secretary of state for Scotland, David Mundell, said: "The UK Government's Tay Cities Deal investment will deliver a transformational boost to the region's economy. The impact of the £150m funding package will be felt across Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perth and Kinross. I want to thank the local partners for their efforts so far.
"But this is only the start. The real work starts now to deliver these exciting projects - so it's vital the partners and Scotland's two governments work together to realise the deal's amazing potential.
"In all, the UK Government has committed more than £1.1 billion to City Region Deals right across Scotland and we are already seeing the fruits of that investment."
Michael Matheson, Scotland's infrastructure secretary, said: "Scotland's cities and their regions drive our economy. Today's Tay Cities Region Deal demonstrates our strong commitment to supporting the region and delivering significant long-term benefits to the local economy.
"That is why the Scottish Government has agreed to invest £150m as part of a £700m City Region Deal that will bring positive benefits for Dundee, Perth, Angus, the north of Fife and Scotland as a whole.
"As part of our previously stated commitment to invest £200m in the area - in the coming months - the Scottish Government will set out the details of the further £50m.
"The deal will create jobs right across the region in traditional sectors as well as in the high tech areas of biomedicine and cyber-security. Across the entire deal, we will be investing over £60m innovation and high value manufacturing.
"Developing the right skills are what will make the difference to people being able to access opportunities and new jobs through the deal. That's why the Scottish Government is also committing up to £20m for a Regional Skills Development Programme as part of this deal to reduce skills shortages and support people reskill into new career opportunities.
"The successful delivery of the Tay Cities Region Deal will help the region continue to thrive and grow, fulfilling our ambitions for it to be one of the most economically and culturally vibrant areas in the country. I am delighted that we have been able to secure this."

Author: Paul Hupton
Publisher: In The Mood
The death of John and Betty Laine in 1943 at the height of the 2nd World War initiates a chain of events stretching over 42 years that would include murder, child abuse and sexual blackmail. The story begins in 1985. A case involving drugs and the death of a police colleague in a burning building awakens a buried nightmare that threatens the sanity of New Scotland Yard Detective, Philip Graves. Grave's enforced leave comes just as he receives news that his father, a retired police sergeant, has been viciously attacked in what is thought to be a random assault. Still haunted by the burning death of his partner, he returns home determined to know the facts about his father's attack. Graves quickly learns of his father's involvement in an unusual case concerning the 25-year old mummified body of a man found encased inside a bridge column. His father has more than a passing interest in the case and Graves questions the connection between the case and his father's assault. Over the days that follow Graves conducts his own investigation, learning the identity of the mummified man and that he apparently died in 1953, along with 3 other men in a fire at Harrington Orphanage. "How does a corpse from 1953 become a corpse again in 1960?" Graves asks himself. Graves slowly pieces together the past for each victim. He learns that his father's assault is connected with the body in the bridge, but the reason stems from the past, to a time when twin boys were left in the care of Harrington orphanage following the death of their parents, John and Betty Laine. Graves unearths facts that he wished were left buried in the past, facts that would change his own life and everything that he understood to be true.

Norman Friedman
British Destroyers & Frigates
The Second World War & After
Author: Norman Friedman
Since the Second World War the old categories of destroyer and frigate have tended to merge, a process that this book traces back to the radically different 'Tribal' class destroyers of 1936. It deals with the development of all the modern destroyer classes that fought the war, looks at the emergency programmes that produced vast numbers of trade protection vessels - sloops, corvettes and frigates - then analyses the pressures that shaped the post-war fleet, and continued to dominate design down to recent years. Written by America's leading authority, it is an objective but sympathetic view of the difficult economic and political environment in which British designers had to work, and benefits from the author's ability to compare and contrast the US Navy's experience. Norman Friedman is renowned for his ability to explain the policy and strategy changes that drive design decisions, and his latest book uses previously unpublished material to draw a new and convincing picture of British naval policy over the previous seventy years and more. Hugely successful with enthusiasts and professionals alike from its first publication in 2006, this is the book's third edition.
Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica
Author: Philip Larkin
Category: Literary Collections
Philip Larkin met Monica Jones at University College Leicester in autumn 1946, when they were both twenty-four; he was the newly-appointed assistant librarian and she was an English lecturer. In 1950 Larkin moved to Belfast, and thence to Hull, while Monica remained in Leicester, becoming by turns his correspondent, lover and closest confidante, in a relationship which lasted over forty years until the poet's death in 1985. This remarkable unpublished correspondence only came to light after Monica Jones's death in 2001, and consists of nearly two thousand letters, postcards and telegrams, which chronicle - day by day, sometimes hour by hour - every aspect of Larkin's life and the convolutions of their relationship.

Natsume Sōseki (夏目 漱石, lahir di Tokyo, 9 Februari 1867 – meninggal di Tokyo, 9 Desember 1916 pada umur 49 tahun) adalah nama pena untuk Natsume Kinnosuke (夏目金之助), novelis Jepang, ahli sastra Inggris, sekaligus penulis esai yang hidup di zaman Meiji hingga zaman Taisho.
think Natsume Soseki's novel The Gate (1910) is one of his best novels. It is a curious novel since not much of notice happens in the story. The main character, Sosuke, is something of a cypher, he goes through life with quiet resignation much like his contemporary salaryman brethren of today, but little by little his back story is revealed.


The stars and brains behind the BFI London Film Festival's Closing Gala Feature were out in full force yesterday at London's May Fair Hotel.
We were lucky enough to speak with actors Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Kate Waterston and Michael Stuhlbarg, plus director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who talked about their new film, Steve Jobs.
To give some context, the new biopic about the Apple co-founder and CEO employs an innovative approach to filming and structure, as it is presented in three acts – each one representing the 40-minute period preceding a product launch.
Act I takes place in 1984, before the launch of the Macintosh computer. This is then followed by Act II, which explores the launch of the NeXT project, while also featuring flashbacks to Jobs's dismissal from Apple years before. Finally, Act III skips ahead to 1998, where Jobs prepares for the launch of the iMac.
Danny Boyle: "[Jobs] has changed our lives … both in an obvious way, with communication via the phone, but in so many other ways, this drive towards the digital world that we now live in … We were very lucky, as we were able to almost illustrate it.
"We shot the first act on 16mm, because it was the earliest act, but also because … [Jobs] felt like a guy fighting all these impossible forces that were stopping him getting to this vision. It felt like a rough, home-made version, as if they'd almost done it in the garage themselves.
"Then we moved to 35[mm] for the second act, which is a beautiful storytelling act, and an illusion … And then we moved to digital. The third act is set in 1998, and although the [Arri] Alexa camera, which is what we used, wasn't generally in use then in cinema, Jobs had already got there, of course. He released Toy Story in '96, and I remember going to see it in Leicester Square, and thinking that the world had changed … that was just an earthquake. So it was great to pay him that respect.
Danny Boyle: Out of respect I rang him up and said 'We're using 1984', as he shot the 1984 advert which Michael and Jeff stand in front of, but we didn't ask his permission; the basic principle we worked to was we sought forgiveness, rather than asked permission. Which is a very sensible way to do it in this business, if you can actually get away with it!
Aaron Sorkin: "I don't know what a 'fair' sense of anybody is, really. If you asked a thousand people who knew Steve Jobs for their impressions of Steve Jobs, I think you'd get a thousand different impressions. What you don't see in this movie is a dramatic recreation of his Wikipedia page. What you see is a dramatisation of several of the personal conflicts that he had in his life, and they illustrate something. I do believe they're fair; my conscience is clear that we haven't done anything unfair.
Michael Fassbender: "For sure. The fact that he had a vision back in the mid- to late '70s and continued striving towards that vision, and here we are all living it now; I think that's extraordinary passion and commitment and focus. Also, having met people who were close to him, both in the workplace and also in personal relationships, [and seeing] the effect that he still has on these people … and the love that was apparent for the man.
Steve Jobs will be on general release in UK cinemas from November 13th.
