New Hearing Technology Brings Sound To A Little Girl

Many of us are familiar with the cochlear implant, but did you know it doesn't work for everyone? We came upon this article featuring information about clinical trials for a new technology that gives the hearing-impaired another option for the ability to hear.
Jiya Bavishi was born deaf. For five years, she couldn't hear and she couldn't speak at all. But when I first meet her, all she wants to do is say hello. The 6-year-old is bouncing around the room at her speech therapy session in Dallas. She's wearing a bright pink top; her tiny gold earrings flash as she waves her arms.
"Hi," she says, and then uses sign language to ask who I am and talk about the ice cream her father bought for her.
Jiya is taking part in a clinical trial testing a new hearing technology. At 12 months, she was given a cochlear implant. These surgically implanted devices send signals directly to the nerves used to hear. But cochlear implants don't work for everyone, and they didn't work for Jiya.
"The physician was able to get all of the electrodes into her cochlea," says Linda Daniel, a certified auditory-verbal therapist and rehabilitative audiologist with HEAR, a rehabilitation clinic in Dallas. Daniel has been working with Jiya since she was a baby. "However, you have to have a sufficient or healthy auditory nerve to connect the cochlea and the electrodes up to the brainstem."
Jiya's connection between the cochlea and the brainstem was too thin. There was no way for sounds to make that final leg of the journey and reach her brain.
Usually, the story would end here. If cochlear implants don't work, you turn to sign language. And the Bavishis did — for years they communicated with their daughter through sign language. But then they heard about an experimental procedure called an auditory brainstem implant.
It is a very rare procedure, according to Dr. Daniel Lee, director of the pediatric ear, hearing and balance center at Harvard Medical School. "There have been less than 200 of these implanted worldwide in children," he says. In the U.S., auditory brainstem implants are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for adults and teenagers who have lost their hearing due to nerve damage, but they have not been approved for use in younger children.
Surgeons in Europe have pioneered the use of the auditory brainstem implant in children who are born deaf and can't receive a cochlear implant, Lee says. "And those data look pretty encouraging."
So in 2013, the FDA approved the first clinical trial in the U.S. for young children. The Bavishis decided to apply for Jiya. It wasn't an easy decision. It would involve surgery to place a tiny microchip into Jiya's brainstem.
"The family was at a crossroads," Daniel says. Did they want to take a chance on a risky, experimental procedure to give their daughter a chance to hear? They decided to try the procedure and traveled from their home in Frisco, Texas, to Chapel Hill, N.C., for the eight-hour surgery. The University of North Carolina is one of four institutions investigating the implant.
Jiya's mom, Jigna Bavishi, pulls back her daughter's purple headband to reveal two of the three parts of the device.
There's the piece that sits on her ear, which works like a microphone to pick up sounds. That microphone is attached to a small black magnet that rests on her head. What you can't see is what the magnet is connected to. And this is what makes it different from a cochlear implant. Below the skin, there's a receiver, and down in the brain stem is the microchip. The idea is that the sounds picked up from the microphone on her ear end up in the implant in the brainstem.
"It's a rectangular shaped element," says rehabilitative audiologist Linda Daniel. "It has two rows of electrodes and each electrode is responsible for a band of frequencies." The electrodes transmit signals directly into the brain.
Daniel says we don't know exactly what Jiya hears.
"I think we could assume that it doesn't sound crisp, distinct, clearly interpretable," she says. "It would take longer to learn to interpret the sound."
Doctors told the Bavishis not to expect any changes for a year or two. But Jiya didn't take that long to start recognizing and mimicking sounds. On the day I visit, Jiya is playing with a yellow toy car. "Beep, beep," she says.
"They actually had to tell us, even though she's doing so good right now, we have to still be careful where we set our expectations," says Jigna.
Doctors will monitor Jiya, and four other children taking part in the study, for the next few years. They'll be studying how their brains develop and incorporate sounds and speech. There are two other clinical trials investigating auditory brainstem implants in children: one at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, and the other at the New York University School of Medicine.

University of Missouri Nurse Helps Improve Hearing Aid Use
Mon, Mar 02, 2015 @ 02:29 PM
A University of Missouri nurse researcher is working to ensure people who use hearing aids for the first time are not bombarded by sounds that could be overwhelming and potentially painful.
Individuals who wear hearing aids for the first time can potentially hear sounds they have not heard in months of even years, according to a University of Missouri news release on the research. The study, published online Dec. 17, in the journal Clinical Nursing Research, looked at the feasibility and initial effect of Hearing Aid Reintroduction to assist people 70 to 85 years old to adjust to hearing aids.
Some of the noises hearing aids enable their users to hear are not always easy to embrace, researchers found. These include air conditioners, wind and background conversations which can be annoying, painful and tough to ignore, the release said.
Kari Lane, PhD, RN, MOT, assistant professor of nursing at MU Sinclair School of Nursing, studied a group of elderly adults' satisfaction with hearing aids after participating in HEAR, according to the release. Study participants recorded the total time they wore hearing aids for 30 days. Participants gradually increased the amount of time they wore the hearing aids and the variety and complexity of sounds they experienced, including household appliances or sounds from crowded areas, the release said.
"Hearing loss is a common health problem facing many aging adults that can have serious effects on their quality of life, including heightened chances of depression and dementia," Lane said in the release. "Hearing aids are not an easy fix to hearing loss. Unlike glasses, which provide instant results, it takes more time for the brains of hearing-aid users to fully adjust to the aids and new sounds they could not hear before."
All participants at the start of the research reported being unsatisfied with their hearing aids, Lane said. At the end of the study, more than half of participants reported being able to increase their hearing aid use and 60% of them said they were satisfied with their hearing aids, the release stated.
"It is common practice for audiologists to have their patients wear hearing aids all day when they first buy them, but not all persons are able to do this comfortably," Lane said in the release. "Prior research shows there is a need for alternative ways to teach people how to use hearing aids like the HEAR intervention, which allows hearing-aid users to gradually adjust to using the aids while receiving support and coaching from health professionals and family members."
Healthcare providers should give patients guidance on conditions they might experience during the aging process, such as hearing loss, according to the release. Such proaction could help to reduce the stigma surrounding hearing aids, Lane said.
"If healthcare professionals begin discussing hearing loss with their patients sooner, before problems arise, the use of hearing aids could be normalized, and individuals would be better prepared for the transition when it is time for them to begin use," Lane said in the release.

Android App That Helps The Deaf Have A Conversation On The Phone
Wed, Oct 01, 2014 @ 10:57 AM
By Federico Guerrini
I just had a Skype chat with entrepreneur Olivier Jeannel about his new product. It was a text chat, as Olivier – just like roughly 70 million people in the world (of which approximately 26 million of Americans) – suffers from profound hearing loss. If he has his way, soon this is no longer going to be a problem. Together with his associate Sidney Burks and product manager Pablo Seuc-Rocher, he's working on the launch of RogerVoice, an Android app that has been designed from the ground up for those who cannot hear on the phone.
With RogerVoice, the deaf or hard-of-hearing person starts a call and receives on his smartphone instant live transcriptions of what the other speaker is saying, regardless if he is speaking in English or another of the many other languages recognized by the system (Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Greek and Japanese top the list).
While the idea, generally speaking, is brilliant, there are still some hurdles to overcome. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology is still far from flawless; also, unlike other softwares (Dragon and friends) that can be trained to recognize a single voice, improving this way the recognition rate, RogerVoice has to work with any kind of voice, so don't imagine you can have a long, complex conversation without any trouble.
"You might use it to confirm an appointment with a doctor – Olivier says – or tell a plumber to come". Basic stuff, but enough to significantly improve the quality of life of a deaf person, allowing he or she to rely less on other people's intervention. It's also up to the hearing person to make a better effort to enunciate, to help the voice recognition software's performance. So you could in fact have a long and articulate conversation, provided that the counterpart is a relative, a friend, or someone that's kind enough not to speak in a rush.
I asked Jeannel if – when the problem is not too severe – an hearing aid wouldn't work as well, and the answer was quite interesting, because it pointed to the social implications of suffering from hearing loss.
"The interesting fact is – he says – that most deaf people don't wear hearing aids, only 1 in 5 apparently bother to get equipped. This is because wearing hearing aids is often associated to a kind of social stigma. Also, of the profoundly deaf population, most manage to speak, but understanding a conversation without visual cues is difficult, if not impossible. In my case, impossible without lip-reading. More and more profoundly deaf use cochlear implants, which is a revolution: it helps a lot to understand speech, but it's still quite difficult over a phone".
The app is designed to be Bluetooth compatible, meaning that the RogerVoice app could connect directly to a Bluetooth-equipped hearing aid for a better listening experience and, after the launch of the Android version, the team will start working on the iOS and Windows ones.
The business model will be based on subscriptions, with one year of unlimited calls priced at $59 for those that will contribute to the Kickstarter campaign that's currently running to support the product's development. As for the time to market, if the $20,000 is reached on Kickstarter, founder hope to release the product by the end of the year. "Hopefully for Christmas – Jeannel says".

Constellation Energy to Expand Residential Customer Base, Broaden Geographic Footprint with Acquisition of MXenergy
Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG), a leading competitive energy provider, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of MXenergy, a Connecticut-based supplier of natural gas and electricity.
BALTIMORE, MD - Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG), a leading competitive energy provider, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of MXenergy, a Connecticut-based supplier of natural gas and electricity with more than half a million customers in North America.
The proposed transaction to purchase MXenergy for $175 million, subject to normal adjustments, broadens Constellation Energy's mass market presence to include the 15 states and two Canadian provinces where MXenergy supplies gas and electricity to more than 540,000 residential and small commercial customers.
"MXenergy provides us with a broad platform that supplements our growing retail business, particularly in the residential market, at a time when customers are choosing energy suppliers in significant numbers," said Mark Huston, head of Constellation Energy's retail business.
"By combining forces with Constellation, we strengthen our ability to provide customers with quality service and innovative products that can help them manage their energy needs," said Jeffrey Mayer, president and chief executive officer of MXenergy.
MXenergy has more than 200 employees and is headquartered in Stamford, Conn., with a major operational office in Houston, Texas, and call-center operations in Annapolis Junction, Md.
Huston said the acquisition positions Constellation Energy to exceed 1 million mass market customers by the end of 2011. Constellation Energy has been steadily growing its residential base the past year by offering electric choice to residential customers in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and parts of New Jersey and Illinois.
The definitive agreement signed by MXenergy and Constellation Energy is scheduled to close in the third quarter, subject to required regulatory approvals and approval by MXenergy shareholders.
Constellation Energy demonstrates its commitment to environmental stewardship and a clean energy future by delivering innovative energy solutions that help customers control energy use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and utilize sources of renewable energy.
MXenergy is one of the country's largest independent suppliers of energy to mass market customers throughout the United States and Canada. It was founded in 1999 and received major financial support from a number of private equity investors, most notably Denham Capital Management LP, and Charterhouse Group, Inc. MXenergy was the first retail marketer to provide carbon offsets for its customers through the planting of a certified pine forest in Georgia.
BofA Merrill Lynch acted as financial adviser to MXenergy on the transaction, and Duff & Phelps delivered a fairness opinion to the MXenergy Board of Directors.

Q: Java - Getting same day of week for next year I was looking for a way to make optimum of Java 8's LocalDate to find next year's date which falls on same day of week.
For example today is 1rd March 2022 - Tuesday. Assume this is the input date, the the output date that I expect to get is 28th Feb 2023, because its the same day (Tuesday) for next year
One option that I tried was adding 364 days as shown in the example
public static void main(String args[]){
    LocalDate currentDate= LocalDate.now();
    System.out.println("Current Date: " + currentDate + " Day" currentDate.getDayOfWeek().name());
    System.out.println("Next Year's date: " + currentDate.plusDays(364) + " Next year day: " +currentDate.plusDays(364).getDayOfWeek().name());
  }

This works but may have drawback with leap years.
Other option is to add 1 year to current date and do a while loop check for dayOfWeek for each day - 1
Is there a better way to do this?

Nicéforo Focas (; m. 895/896 ou ca. 900), geralmente apelidado como o Velho para distingui-lo de seu neto, o imperador  , foi um dos generais bizantinos mais proeminentes do final do , e o primeiro membro relevante da família Focas. Quando jovem ingressou no séquito pessoal do imperador  , ascendendo à posição de protoestrator e então governador de Carsiano, onde lutou com sucesso contra os árabes. Em ca. 886, liderou uma grande expedição no sul da Itália, onde suas vitórias cimentaram as bases para o ressurgimento bizantino na península.

Após seu retorno, foi elevado ao posto de doméstico das escolas, em efeito o comandante-em-chefe do exército, que liderou com sucesso contra os árabes no Oriente e contra os búlgaros do imperador  nos Bálcãs. Ele morreu em 895/896 ou, menos provavelmente, em algum momento ca. 900. Contemporâneos e historiadores posteriores louvaram-o por sua habilidade militar e caráter. Ambos os seus filhos posteriormente sucederam-o como domésticos das escolas. Seus netos Nicéforo e Leão foram igualmente generais distintos, enquanto o primeiro tornou-se imperador em  963–969, encabeçando a recuperação de várias províncias perdidas para os árabes.

Vida

Infância e carreira

Nicéforo foi o filho do fundador da família Focas, um homem chamado Focas, nativo da Capadócia. Durante uma das campanhas do imperador   em algum momento na década de 870 (provavelmente ca. 872), o pai de Nicéforo chamou a atenção do imperador e foi elevado ao posto de turmarca. Ao mesmo tempo Nicéforo, ainda jovem, ingressou no séquito imperial, e foi logo nomeado para os corpos de guarda dos manglabitas. Ele possivelmente participou na campanha de Basílio de 873 contra Samósata.

Logo depois, em algum momento antes de 878, Nicéforo foi promovido ao posto de protoestrator e recebeu do imperador seu próprio palácio nas proximidades da Igreja de Santa Tecla. Posteriormente, ascendeu ao posto de governador militar (estratego) do Tema de Carsiano, um posto com o qual, segundo os continuadores de Jorge Mônaco, conseguiu numerosos sucessos contra os árabes.

Comando no sul da Itália

Nicéforo permaneceu no comando de Carsiano até sua nomeação como comandante-em-chefe (monoestratego, "general único") contra os árabes no sul da Itália em substituição de Estêvão Maxêncio, que havia sido derrotado por eles. Isso ocorreu em 885, segundo a datação tradicional. É provável, contudo, que Nicéforo foi originalmente enviado para a Itália já antes disso, como chefe dum destacamento removido das tropas de Carsiano, que Teófanes Continuado relata como parte da força expedicionária de Maxêncio. Seu comando envolveu as forças de vários temas ocidentais (Trácia, Macedônia, Cefalênia, Longobárdia e Calábria), mas Teófanes Continuado também relata que Nicéforo recebeu mais reforços dos temas da Ásia Menor, incluindo um destacamento pauliciano. O comando de Nicéforo na Itália durou até sua reconvocação para Constantinopla após a ascensão de  no final de 886. Shaun Tougher, contudo, aponta que Nicéforo foi enviado para a Itália apenas após a ascensão de Leão VI, pois os escritos de Leão tomam crédito por seu envio para lá, e que sua reconvocação não ocorreu até ca. 887.

O Império Bizantino esteve ausente de seus assuntos no sul da Itália por quase um século, mas a ascensão de Basílio, o Macedônio mudou isso: de 868 em diante, a frota e diplomacia imperiais foram empregadas num esforço para assegurar o mar Adriático dos raides sarracenos, restabelecendo o domínio bizantino sobre a Dalmácia, e estendendo o controle mais uma vez sobre partes da Itália. Otranto foi tomada dos sarracenos em 873, e Bari em 876. Segundo as fontes bizantinas, durante seu mandato na Itália Nicéforo recuperou numerosas cidades tomadas pelos árabes nos anos anteriores, incluindo Taranto, Bari, Santa Severina, Régio e Taormina, Tropas e especialmente Amância, que Maxêncio havia anteriormente atacado sem sucesso. Segundo os continuadores de Jorge Mônaco, ele estava sitiando Amância quando notícias chegaram da morte de Basílio I e sua reconvocação por Leão VI; Nicéforo manteve as notícias em segredo até persuadir a guarnição árabe a render-se sob garantia de salvo conduto.

Durante seu tempo na Itália também tomou medidas para fortalecer a posição bizantina ao assentar muitos armênios na região, bem como  escravos alforriados doados pela antiga benfeitora do imperador Basílio, a viúva Danielis. O historiador do  João Escilitzes relata ainda que Nicéforo terminou o abuso contra a população local, ao acabar com a prática de reconvocar soldados bizantinos portando italianos locais para serem vendidos no Oriente como escravos. Segundo Escilitzes, o agradecidos italianos dedicaram uma igreja em sua honra. Pelo tempo de sua partida, ele havia estendido o controle bizantino sobre boa parte da Apúlia e Calábria. Estas vitórias foram seguidas por seus sucessores e levaram à fundação de um poder bizantino ressurgente no sul da Itália, culminando no estabelecimento do Longobárdia em ca. 892. As regiões da Apúlia, Calábria e Basilicata permaneceram firmemente sob controle bizantino até o .

Doméstico das escolas e guerra na Bulgária

Seu sucesso na Itália assegurou a Nicéforo uma recepção amigável e honra em seu retorno para Constantinopla, mas não é mencionado novamente por vários anos, até a eclosão da guerra com a Bulgária em 894. Nesse meio tempo, foi elevado à posição de patrício e nomeado ao posto de doméstico das escolas, em efeito o comandante-em-chefe do exército bizantino, após a morte de seu predecessor, . Em 895, foi enviado contra os búlgaros como chefe dum grande exército. É incerto se Nicéforo lutou com os búlgaros, pois uma invasão dos magiares ao norte instigada pelos bizantinos e as atividades da marinha bizantina no Danúbio forçaram o imperador  a solicitar uma trégua, e os bizantinos se retiraram.

Essa é a última campanha associada com Nicéforo Focas, e Simeão Logóteta relata que ele morreu em 895/896. Sua morte relatadamente encorajou Simeão I a reabrir hostilidades, com sucesso devastador contra o doméstico sucessor de Nicéforo, Leão Catacalo. A última crônica de Teófanes Continuado, contudo, relata uma história diferente, segundo a qual Nicéforo foi desgraçado e demitido de seu posto após recusar a proposta de aliança matrimonial com o poderoso ministro chefe de Leão, Estiliano Zautzes. Após um período fora de ofício, Nicéforo foi então nomeado estratego de Carsiano ou do Tema Tracesiano, gastando seus anos remanescentes, até sua morte em torno de 900, lutando com os árabes. A Táctica de Leão VI e a posterior De velitatione bellica também mencionam um raide bem sucedido em terras árabes na Cilícia liderado por Nicéforo, em retaliação dum ataque árabe na fortaleza de Misteia no Tema Anatólico. Enquanto direcionando os estrategos dos anatólios e do Tema Opsiciano para lidar com a invasão árabe, Nicéforo liderou suas forças numa invasão às imediações de Adana, fazendo muitos prisioneiros, e confundiu os árabes ao seguir um curso diferente em seu retorno, evitando o exército inimigo enviado para bloquear sua retirada. Esse raide não datado provavelmente ocorreu nos anos antes ou diretamente depois da guerra com a Bulgária.

Nenhuma conclusão definitiva para sua morte pode ser alcançada hoje, mas muitos estudiosos modernos, como Jean-Claude Cheynet, duvidam da versão de Teófanes Continuado. Teria sido muito incomum para um antigo doméstico ser nomeado à posição subordinada dum estratego temático, e há razão para duvidar-se da autenticidade da história de Zautzes vendo em Nicéforo um potencial futuro imperador e oferecendo a mão de uma — de outro modo desconhecida — filha em casamento.

Avaliação e família

Em todos os relatos, Nicéforo Focas aparece como um soldado capaz. Leão VI louva-o por seus talentos militares em sua Táctica, e ele é creditado com a invenção duma arma para conter a cavalaria inimiga durante sua campanha contra os búlgaros, consistindo numa estaca afiada cravada no solo.

Nicéforo era pai de  e , ambos futuros domésticos das escolas e, através de Bardas, o avô de  , general e imperador entre 963 e 969, e de , general. Tanto Leão como Nicéforo II conseguiram grandes sucessos contra os árabes, com Nicéforo em particular liderando a recuperação de Creta, Chipre, Cilícia e Antioquia.

Monetary Policy with Diverse Private Expectations
Mordecai Kurz
Maurizio Motolese
Giulia Piccillo
Howei Wu
We study the impact of diverse beliefs on conduct of monetary policy. We use a New Keynesian Model solved with a quadratic approximation. Aggregation renders the belief distribution an aggregate state variable. Diverse expectations change standard results about a smooth trade-off between inflation and output volatility. Our results are: (i) The policy space contains a curve of singularity which is a collection of policy parameters that divides the space into two sub-regions. Trade-off between output and inflation volatilities exists within each region and some across regions. (ii) The singularity causes volatility of variables to be non monotone in policy parameters. (iii) When beliefs are diverse a central bank must also consider the volatility of individual consumption and the related volatility of financial markets. We show aggressive anti-inflation policy increases consumption volatility and aggressive output stabilization policy entails rising inflation volatility. Efficient central bank policy must therefore be moderate. (iv) Optimism about the future typically lowers aggregate output and increases inflation. This "stagflation" effect is stronger the stickier prices are. Policy response is muted since the effects of higher inflation and lower output on interest rates partially cancel each other. Effective policy requires targeting exuberance directly or its effects in asset markets. Central banks already do so with short term interventions. (v) The observed high serial correlation in policy shocks contributes greatly to market volatility and we show that a reduction in persistence of central bank's deviations from a fixed rule will contribute to stability. (vi) Belief dispersion is measured by cross sectional standard deviation of individual beliefs. An increased belief diversity is found to make policy coordination harder and results in lower aggregate output and lower rate of inflation. Bank policy can lower belief dispersion by being more transparent

As the war continued, It became apparent which side God was blessing. David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul crumbled. The story highlights one of the High/ Low points of the war. Abner was Saul's main general. After Saul and Jonathan's death, Abner took charge and preserved the house of Saul's rule. Still, Saul's son the king began to ridicule Abner and made clear he did not respect the general. This so offended Abner, that he decided to join David and unite the kingdom. It had to be a difficult move for both Abner and for David. Still, these warriors were willing to settle their differences to unite the kingdom.
In life, there are tough events that seem hopeless. In the midst of them, God can change a heart, a circumstance, or an alliance that will literally change the course of history. When that happens, God's people have to humbly seek him and follow his lead. One can never tell when our obedience could propel us into peace and victory. It is our job to listen and follow, it is God's job to change history!
15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back home!" So he went back.
17 Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, "For some time you have wanted to make David your king. 18 Now do it! For the Lord promised David, 'By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.

The private angst over Donald Trump's racist attacks on Elaine Chao goes public
By From elsewhere | January 25, 2023
Politico reports:
Over the past several months, the leading Republican presidential candidate has launched a series of racist attacks on the wife of the Republican Party's Senate leader, a woman who once served in his Cabinet.
But while former President Donald Trump's taunts at Elaine Chao — demeaning her as "Coco Chow" or a variation of Mitch McConnell's "China-loving wife" — have been mostly met with silence from fellow GOP officials, the main target of them is now speaking out.
"When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name. Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation," Chao said in a statement to POLITICO. "He doesn't seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans."
Chao's statement is an extremely rare case of the former Transportation Secretary wading into the political thicket that her former boss has laid around her since the end of his administration. It suggests that discomfort with Trump's anti-Asian rhetoric has reached a new level amid several high-profile shootings targeting Asian Americans.
On at least a half a dozen occasions, Trump has taken to his social media platform, Truth Social, to criticize McConnell's leadership, and to suggest, among other things, that he is conflicted because of his wife's connection to China. Last fall, in a message widely viewed by Republicans and Democrats as a threat, he said that McConnell "has a DEATH WISH."
But the personal attacks on Chao have stood out above the others, both for their overt racism and the relatively little pushback they've received. [Continue reading…]

Q: Distribution of functions of uniform random variables Given these two independent and uniform distributed random variables, $$X \sim U[-\pi,\pi]$$ and $$Y \sim U[-\pi,\pi]$$
What is the distribution of $$\sin(X)$$ and $$\sin (Y)$$ and the distribution of $$\sin(X)-\sin(Y)$$
Thanks

A: The number $\sin X$ is the coordinate on the vertical axis of the point $(\cos X,\sin X)$, which is uniformly distributed on the circle of unit radius centered at $(0,0)$.  Since the distribution of the coordinate on the vertical axis on the left and right halves of the circle are the same, we may as well consider only the right half, so we have the distribution of $\sin X$ with $X$ uniformly distributed between $-\pi/2$ and $\pi/2$.  This makes the sine function strictly increasing, so we can say
$$
\Pr(\sin X\le w) = \Pr(X\le \arcsin w) = \frac{(\arcsin w) - (-\pi/2)}{(\pi/2)-(-\pi/2)} = \frac{(\arcsin w)+\pi/2}\pi.
$$
The distribution of $Y$ is the same.  And so is the distribution of $-Y$, since this distribution is symmetric about $0$.  Hence the distribution of $\sin X-\sin Y$ is the same as that of $\sin X+\sin Y$.  The density for that distribution can be found by convolving the density above with itself.  Maybe I'll be back$\ldots\ldots$

How To Pick a Stamp Album
By Jessica Turner
The best way to store your growing stamp collection is to house it in a stamp album. A stamp album comes in varying thicknesses and formats, depending on your need. There are albums with blank pages, in which case you can design and lay out your collection yourself. There are others that are pre-printed to guide the collector as his collection grows. There are stamp albums that are sold per country, so you can separate your collection by the stamp issuing country. Here are some guides to help you choose a stamp album.
Most stamp albums today are designed to hold stamps from one country or geographic region. If you intend to collect stamps from different countries, then a stamp album like this is a very ideal choice.
To a beginner collector, it is a good choice to look for albums that come with pre-printed pages that show the image of stamp that will fit inside each slot. This type of album is arranged chronologically and all stamps that have been issued for certain years are pre-printed in the album pages to help you build a proper collection. Some even include catalog numbers to aid the collector in identifying the stamps.
Choose an album with the best format for the type of stamps you are collecting. Stamps can be easily damaged and you have to be careful about the stamp album that you will buy. The paper stock should be thick enough to withstand the increase in number of stamps they would hold. The album leaves should be acid-free as other chemicals used in paper manufacturing can cause damage to the stamps.
If you collect expensive mint stamps, they should be stored individually in stamp mounts. Some albums are designed to hold stamp mounts in facing pages. The mounts can become entangled when the album is opened. For albums like these you need to buy special plastic sheets that can be inserted between the pages.
Choose a stamp album that is about two to three inches thick to hold more of your collection before you need to buy another one. There are some stamp albums that will allow you to add more blank pages.
If you do not like to use pre-printed pages, you can make your own stamp album. Check the album leaves that are available. The standard is 8 ½" x 11" or 9" x 12" sheets. Look for a three-ring binder that will fit the standard album leaves. Some are blank with rows of transparent sleeves that will hold the stamps, while others have lightly printed grids to help a collector align the stamp display properly. In this case you can add as many album pages as can be accommodated by the three-ring binder. Make sure that you buy quality paper stock, made thick archival paper to hold up to the stress of additional stamps as well as the opening and closing of the album. Protect the stamps by inserting glassine interleaves in between the sheets. You should also add one on the inside front as well as the inside back covers of the binder.
Buy your albums in specialty stores that sell philately-related products. This will assure you that you are buying the right materials to house and protect your stamp collection.

The Rational Obliviousness
Issue 3, Volume 17
CAMERON MOIR
After reading your opinion piece, I felt an urge to respond. And I felt that urge because I can, to a degree, empathise with the skepticism you've expressed. I grew up in a small town in the country, in a relatively comfortable middle class family, and that brought with it certain assumptions and ways of thinking that made me skeptical about the things you have labelled as 'woke'. I wanted to write a response from the perspective of a convert. I'm certainly left wing by inclination in any case, so I didn't put up much resistance to conversion, but I still had to go through a conscious thought process to arrive at my current position. So, below I have given what is, by my own admission, an imperfect response to some of your contentions, as well as a short meditation on how my opinions came to form as they did.
Paul Keating's Redfern Speech
When you discussed IWD, you referred to the hurdles faced by women as historic, and you pointed to the gender balance in university graduation rates as evidence to support your position that the situation has changed. Certainly, it has; women have greater opportunities to determine the course of their own life than they did a century ago. But that observation alone ignores the fact that many women endure ongoing objectification through violence, sexualisation at a young age, exploitation at the hands of men in positions of power, and being told what to do with their bodies –– having something as personal as reproductive choice seized from them.
The reason for the reaction to IMD is that it effectively serves as a slap in the face: it fails to recognise what women are talking about. The suffering of some men is real, and I don't think anyone is going out of their way to ignore it; but IMD symbolically says that the position of men is in its way equivalent to what women are going through, rather than recognising that women face challenges that are institutionalised and degrading to their humanity. That is, it's a lack of recognition of, and tacit belittlement of, what women are struggling against.
I'll move onto your discussion of the Acknowledgement of Country. Acknowledgement is a recognition of the ongoing relationship of the Aboriginal people of Australia to the land we're on. As was established in Mabo, the common law recognises the relationship of Aboriginal people with the land as continuing to survive, in one way or another, even after an invasion. Acknowledgement, even if there are no people of Aboriginal heritage present, serves as a show of basic respect and recognition for that ongoing relationship, and is a reminder of the history of the land we're on, and what has happened for us to get where we are. It's not an empty gesture, and it's not virtue signaling.
On your suggestion that Acknowledgement "[elevates] one race," I find this claim to be your most objectionable, and, frankly, stupid. I've resisted devolving into ad hominem attacks so far, because I want to engage with you in good faith. But the idea that anyone is going about this with the intention of elevating Aboriginal people to some sort of superior status, or that any person who can claim to be rational would interpret it that way, beggars belief. Aboriginal Australians have a unique historical and political status by virtue of their relationship to the land we're on. Their status because of that relationship is, relative to everyone else, anomalous. To recognise that unique status and accord it with some basic level of respect is not to elevate it to some form of superiority, and I think to go out of your way to interpret it in such a manner is to act in bad faith.
I want to wrap up my response by reiterating that I have stood in your shoes. I have felt skepticism. I was not, initially, totally onboard or wholly enthusiastic with either of the issues you discussed. But what changed my mind (and this is where I make the shocking reveal of my political persuasions) was considering a line from Paul Keating's Redfern Speech: "With some noble exceptions, we failed to make the most basic human response and enter into their hearts and minds. We failed to ask - how would I feel if this were done to me?" Empathy is what is needed to understand the reactions of those you disagree with, and I came to my current positions after considering the hurt, the degradation and the humiliation that motivate the causes you have described derisively as 'woke'.

Illogi Classics - #2, Click for free holiday!
A series highlighting the unsung articles of Illogicopedian history.
The difference between this and those stupid newspaper holiday offers is that the Illogicopedian version isn't a load of rubbish. It's true, you really do get a holiday. You don't even have to pay anything, despite what the article says.
An integral part of the article is the feedback section, which is surprisingly positive considering the cheap destination on offer. It also has nothing to do with Euroipods whatsoever, though has a faint whiff of propaganda about it.
