I started my deep learning journey a few years back. I have learnt a lot in this period. But, even after all these efforts, every Neural network I train provides me with a new experience.
If you have tried to train a neural network, you must know my plight!
But, through all this time, I have now made a workflow, which I will share with you today.
I am sharing my learning / experience about building Neural Network with all of you.
I cannot guarantee it will work all the time, but at least it may guide you as to how would you approach to solve the problem. I will also share with you a tool which I find is a useful addition to the deep learning toolbox – TensorBoard.
P.S.: This article assumes that you know the basics of building a neural network and have a fair degree of knowledge about keras. If not, I would recommend going through these articles first and then come back to this article.
Training a neural network : a boon or a curse?
Training a neural network: a boon or a curse?
Training a neural network is usually a high risk – high reward strategy. If you have tuned it right, you could potentially have a state-of-the-art working model for the task.
Just to give an example, image generation is a recent breakthrough of neural networks. With just a few strokes of artificial brush, you can create an authentic looking image of natural scenes.
But on the other hand, it is extremely difficult to train a generative neural network. You would have to go through a rigorous trial and error phase to get things right.
I had to go through a similar experience of training a neural network few days back when trying to build a working model for Age detection problem. When I made my first model for the problem, it absolutely refused to train. In this article, I will share my approach of how I debugged the neural network. Stay tuned, because there's a happy ending!
Before jumping on to solve the problem, let me give an overview of what the problem was.
Age Detection of Indian Actors is a recently released practice problem which deals with extracting facial features for age analysis. As this is a image processing problem, I naturally jumped on to picking up neural networks to solve the problem. But as I said earlier, the network would not train. There was no change in the accuracy rates whatsoever, even when I let it train for more than an hour for 200 iterations. Here's a proof!
Clearly this was not working!
Let's go through these reasons one by one and eliminate the improbable.
The first thing you should check when building a neural network is whether you have defined the architecture properly. Here we have a three class problem with varying sizes of images in the dataset. To simplify things, I converted all the images to size 32×32.
I don't see any issue in the architecture of neural network.
Fortunately, I had used a very simple neural network with only one hidden layer trained with classical gradient descent algorithm (SGD).
Here is a thing to look out for; it is said that when you train a neural network with SGD, it may train slowly. To overcome this, we can use adaptive gradient descent to train the network faster.
But the thing was, even on changing the training algorithm from SGD to Adam (aka adaptive gradient descent), the network did not train. This simply meant that something was fundamentally wrong with the network. I had to pull Thor's hammer to break through this problem!
Throughout my journey of understanding the neural network, I have gone through a number of tools for building and visualizing a neural network. Of all of them, I have found tensorboard to be an important asset. It can give you useful insight when training a neural network.
Along with this, it gives a nice dashboard like view of the findings, which is very important when explaining your findings to the stakeholders 🙂 The image you saw above of a proof was a dashboard of tensorboard itself.
I will mention the steps for how to install tensorboard in your system. I suggest you to try it out for yourself.
write_graph: Print the graph of neural network as defined internally.
Coming back from our short excursion, the next thing I tried was to check if the network I had built was enough to learn the distributions of the problem or not. For this, instead of a simple neural network I changed the architecture to a convolutional neural network. The effect was that the accuracy increased drastically from the beginning (from 33% to 54%). But still it remained constant even after training.
After thoroughly checking the network architecture, it was time to check if we have the proper dataset itself.
If all the records are of same size?
As discussed in step 1, we have already ensured that the images are of same size before sending it to the network, so that's out of question.
If the problem is imbalanced or not?
If proper preprocessing is done or not?
Here we should check if we have a properly processed input. For example in an image processing problem, if we processed the image and the resultant input has irregular aspect ratios, the neural network would obviously be flummoxed by it.
Here as it was a simple network, we haven't really done any preprocessing steps. So that's out of question too.
Having exhausted most of the problems that we might encounter, I was getting a bit frustrated as to what might be the real problem. Luckily my journey came to an end, as I found a weird bug which I should have caught on much earlier.
You can see that if your data is does not have a simple distribution, the neural network might find it hard to learn this distribution. It will surely try to converge, but it won't guarantee complete convergence. An extended version of this concept is batch normalization, which ensures the data is normalized after a layer of neural network. This paper covers in-depth analysis of how batch normalization helps train a neural network better.
Here's the code I used to read images and normalize them.
Voila! After I added a simple step of normalization, I saw that the neural network started to train. I was so happy!!
Just to summarize, these are the steps you should look at when debugging a neural network.
In this article, I have given my personal experience of debugging a neural network and a brief overview of visualization and debugging tool called tensorboard. I hope this will guide you solve the problems you would face in your own incursions. Please feel free to try out tensorboard and share your experiences in the comment below.
Just to clarify, the data you were sending the model was 1 to 255 because of the pixel coloring and you normalized it with np.stack()? If not how did you normalize the image np arrays?
You are right that the range of data was from 0-255 because of RGB coloring. To solve this get this in 0-1 range, I just divided the data by 255. I have updated the article to include this.
Thanks for the clarity Faizan!

"solid growth"
Three classes of incentives
Suppose we have a tiny economy in equilibrium. An economy similar to an early medieval, non-monetary economy. Ten people each producing 12 per year of whatever it is they produce. Each guy takes one of what he produces as his profit, barters nine, and pays the remaining 2 to the lord of the manor as taxes.
This little society can run at that speed forever. You can assume barter conditions that make it fail, of course. But for purposes of equilibrium, we assume barter conditions that make it not fail: Everybody trades one-for-one with nine of his neighbors.
The equilibrium could be upset by an external factor: One guy dies, for example, or a mutant fungus kills his crop. Or somebody revises these sentences.
But there are no internal factors that might arise to destroy the equilibrium. By this I mean the numbers work. Each year 10 people produce 120 things and consume 100 of them, and the lord of the manor consumes the other 20. There are no excesses, no shortages, nothing to upset the apple cart.
We could plug money into this model and it will still work just as well: Each year 10 people produce $120 of things, 10 people consume $100 worth, and one person consumes $20 worth. There are no excesses and no shortages.
But in this case, to make it work, we also have to assume that nobody does any saving. Maybe the lord of the manor is getting fat because he consumes twice as much as everybody else. So he goes on a diet. He decides to save $10 each year, and only consume $10 worth like everybody else.
So now the tiny economy could still produce just as much as ever, but it doesn't, because the people can't afford to buy it all because they don't have the money. Ten dollars disappeared. Ten dollars disappears every year. This can't go on forever. Our little economy will soon run out of money.
You could fix the problem by setting up a system of lending and borrowing. Now it appears that this economy can again go on forever.
But things are going on here that we cannot see. To see them we need more columns in the table. We need a category for accumulated savings and another for accumulated debt. And if our system of lending and borrowing requires that interest be paid, we need a column for that, too.
Everything is fine now, as long as everybody can borrow all they need. They still need to borrow $10 every year to bring consumption up to $120, plus now they need to borrow a little more to cover the interest owed.
But that means people have to borrow more each year than the year before. Before long they will have to borrow more each year than they produce!
And the amount they have to borrow still keeps getting bigger every year. At some point the lord of the manor, the guy with all the savings, decides it's just not worth the risk any more. He says "That's it! No more borrowing! Everybody pay up!" But how can you pay up when you owe $234 and have no savings?
So life as we know it comes to an end.
It is not the "real" economy that's the problem here. Everyone can still produce just as much as before. But they don't, because the equilibrium has collapsed.
The problem is in the money. The money problem crashed the "real" economy.
An internal factor crashed the economy.
"plus now they need to borrow a little more to cover the interest owed."
That's a questionable assumption. What it implies is that the saver will save forever and never spend from savings (not even the interest).
What happens if you construct a model where there exists a rational saver in the economy who is not willing to save for no purpose at all and decides to save for a purpose and when the time comes spends the savings on that purpose?
The problem with your model is you created a saver that is totally bonkers. If he had a lick of sense he would figure out that he has no savings at all. All he has is IOUs from destitute people who can never pay and the process is making them even more destitute.
If he were smart he would quickly realize he should be doing the exact opposite. That is, spending more than income and issuing IOUs to cover the extra spending. Try that model and see where it goes.
If you construct a model where borrowing has no purpose ( other than staying alive a bit longer) and saving has no rational purpose at all then you are going to have a pretty ugly economy.
Jim: "That's a questionable assumption. What it implies is that the saver will save forever and never spend from savings (not even the interest)."
What it implies is that the saver will not spend 100% of what he has saved. As long as savings is growing, I think my assumption is valid.
"The problem with your model is you created a saver that is totally bonkers. If he had a lick of sense he would figure out that he has no savings at all. All he has is IOUs from destitute people who can never pay and the process is making them even more destitute."
I know! Where did I ever get such a crazy idea?!
"What it implies is that the saver will not spend 100% of what he has saved."
It sounds like he won't ever get to spend any of his
savings.
When the saver decided to save that was the point where the equilibrium was broken.
What the saver's saving meant to the workers is that they each year could produce 10% less or consume 10% more of their own production. Or they could even leverage the new surplus capacity they now enjoy to expand their capital and increase future productive capacity. At any rate they have no reason to complain about the silly irrational game that their lord has decided to play.
The important point that the MMT people will point out is that to have a money economy, taxes must be paid in money. If the workers paid taxes in goods it would have no impact on them if tax collector consumed them or saved them. If you had created a model where the tax collector was a dis-saver instead of a saver the outcome over time would be much less likely to be feudalism
After a long delay...
Jim, you said:
"That's a questionable assumption. What it implies is that the saver will save forever and never spend from savings (not even the interest)."
I replied: "What it implies is that the saver will not spend 100% of what he has saved."
Better, here is Keynes:
"... we have no such easy escape from the sufferings of unemployment. We have to accept them as an inevitable result of applying to the conduct of the State the maxims which are best calculated to "enrich" an individual by enabling him to pile up claims to enjoyment which he does not intend to exercise at any definite time."

Hunters Sharing the Harvest notes expanding hunger fight
At one of the last such events likely to happen for weeks, hunters, U.S. Senate staff, the state Secretary of Agriculture, and a Pittsburgh Steeler gathered to laud a successful season fighting hunger in Pennsylvania with venison. Hunters Sharing the Harvest (HSH) convened the fete March 12 at the Collier Sportsmen's Association in Oakdale, suburban Pittsburgh. Since 1991, HSH has channeled more than 1.5 million pounds of deer meat, donated by Pennsylvania hunters, to food banks, soup kitchens, and churches for distribution to those in need.
John Plowman, HSH executive director, said donations during the 2019-20 hunting seasons had surpassed 100,000 pounds, and that breaking the record of 150,000 pounds set one year earlier remains possible. "As of today, our program has reached 118,000 pounds of venison donated," Plowman said. "But we still have about 30 butchers around the state who have not yet completed their paperwork and submitted their vouchers, so this total will go higher."
Hunters who decide to donate a deer take it to one of 127 certified butchers participating in the HSH program. There is no fee to the hunter because generous HSH-supporter businesses, agencies, and individual donors have already paid the butchers' processing fees through program sponsorship. Butchers grind all donated venison into burger because it is the most versatile way to use the meat, and food bank personnel pick it up for distribution to people who need it.
"Before Hunters Sharing the Harvest reached this scale of effectiveness, we were often getting a lot of things like cookies and sugar-coated cereals donated to us. We wanted to move to more nutritious offerings, but lean red meat is expensive for programs like ours," said Sheila Christopher, executive director of Hunger Free PA, an organization of community food banks. "Please keep us in your thoughts so we can continue to provide nutritious protein to people who would otherwise seldom have it."
"What we are doing with Hunters Sharing the Harvest in Pennsylvania is not normal, it's extraordinary," said Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. "It's troubling that we live in a state of such abundance, yet we have 10 percent of our population that struggles for food. To see the overwhelming response by Pennsylvania's outdoorsmen and Hunters Sharing the Harvest supporters is personally and professionally gratifying."
The state Department of Agriculture is one of HSH's biggest supporters. Secretary Redding announced a 5-year plan of sponsorship for HSH from his department, totaling $145,000. Plowman noted the consistent support of private companies, many of which are part of the state's energy production sector. He thanked EQT Foundation, Seneca Resources, FirstEnergy Foundation, Range Resources, and others, and displayed a placard recognizing more supporters. "None of this would be possible without the dedicated help of these companies," Plowman said. "Their generosity complements that of hunters who ultimately provide the food from a natural and renewable resource."
Deer-meat donations to HSH once spiked in mid-December, during the state's regular deer season, but Plowman noted that the period of donations has lengthened in recent years because of the growth in archery hunting. "Bowhunters have really taken an interest in us," he said. "And the archery season is so long, stretching from September to January, that it results in a longer donation span, and more efficient distribution of the meat." Those in attendance were eager to hear from a man Plowman described as a "great shot and frequent donor of deer meat," retired Pittsburgh Steeler, Brett Keisel. "I grew up in Wyoming eating deer meat," Keisel said. "When I got drafted by Pittsburgh, I didn't know what to expect. But then I saw how easy it was to get out into the woods and mountains around here, and that lots of people hunt. I knew Pittsburgh was a perfect fit for me, and that's why I still live here. "I believe in this program," he continued. "What I'm most proud of is that all of you don't even know the people you are helping through Hunters Sharing the Harvest, but you make it possible for them to get through another day."

At a gathering prior to virus containment measures, retired Pittsburgh Steeler Brett Keisel thanks Hunters Sharing the Harvest supporters for their efforts on behalf of Pennsylvanians in need of food. Keisel often donates deer to the program.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has proved to be a powerful tool for target-specific gene silencing via RNA interference (RNAi). Its ability to control targeted gene expression gives new hope to gene therapy as a treatment for cancers and genetic diseases. However, siRNA shows poor pharmacological properties, such as low serum stability, off-targeting, and innate immune responses, which present a significant challenge for clinical applications. In addition, siRNA cannot cross the cell membrane for RNAi activity because of its anionic property and stiff structure. Therefore, the development of a safe, stable, and efficient system for the delivery of siRNA therapeutics into the cytoplasm of targeted cells is crucial. Several nanoparticle platforms for siRNA delivery have been developed to overcome the major hurdles facing the therapeutic uses of siRNA. This review covers a broad spectrum of non-viral siRNA delivery systems developed for enhanced cellular uptake and targeted gene silencing in vitro and in vivo and discusses their characteristics and opportunities for clinical applications of therapeutic siRNA.
Keywords: gene delivery, gene silencing, nanoparticles, non-viral vectors, small interfering RNA (siRNA).

Department History	Pitt - Department of Plastic Surgery	2018-06-15T11:05:37+00:00
"OUR MISSION REMAINS ONE OF CULTIVATING AND NURTURING FUTURE LEADERS; SURGEON-SCIENTISTS; AND ACADEMIC PLASTIC SURGEONS WHO WILL BECOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF PROGRAM DIRECTORS, CHAIRS, AND PRESIDENTS OF NATIONAL SOCIETIES."
At the University of Pittsburgh, this residency tradition began in 1948. S. Milton Dupertuis, MD, the first division chief and program director, recruited John C. Gaisford, MD, as Pitt's first plastic surgery resident—at a salary of $34 a month. The following year, Ross H. Musgrave, MD, became Pitt's second plastic surgery resident. These pioneers of the Pitt plastic surgery residency would lead the way of academic excellence, setting a precedent for what would become a tradition of training leaders in plastic surgery. Dupertuis; Musgrave; and William L. White, MD, would each serve as president of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, and, Dupertuis; Musgrave; and Dwight C. Hanna III, MD, all served as directors of the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
To date, there have been approximately 310 plastic surgery residents and fellows trained at Pitt, accounting for generations of leaders in our field. At last count, 22 alumni of Pitt's plastic surgery residency program have served at one time as division chiefs at nearly a quarter of the nation's 90 plastic surgery programs.
In 2008, we were given approval by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to establish one of the first "categorical plastic surgery training programs" in the United States. This innovative program is similar to other core surgical residencies and is uniquely designed to train and prepare plastic surgeons. As our goal is to produce surgeon-scientists, the curriculum includes a required year of basic science research in one of our three independently funded laboratories. Our mission remains one of cultivating and nurturing future leaders; surgeon-scientists; and academic plastic surgeons who will become the next generation of program directors, chairs, and presidents of national societies.
Today, our residency program consists of both an integrated and independent training pathway that is accredited for 27 full-time residents. Our citywide program benefits from a strong and positive "town and gown" participation and consists of seven hospital sites with 26 full-time faculty members and 28 volunteer, adjunct, and affiliated faculty members. We offer fellowship training in hand surgery, pediatric plastic/craniofacial surgery, body contouring surgery, and reconstructive microsurgery. Congratulations, Pitt Plastic Surgery on achieving a full departmental status in 2012 and for status and nearly 70 years of training leaders in American plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh began in the early 1940s with the arrival of S. Milton Dupertuis. Having just completed his training as Jerome Webster's first resident at Columbia University in New York City, Dupertuis was recruited to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP) and Presbyterian University Hospital (PUH) to serve as their sole plastic surgeon. John C. Gaisford, assistant chief surgery resident at CHP and PUH, was assigned to assist Dupertuis. After several months of operating with Dupertuis and admiring his work, Gaisford asked Dupertuis if he would consider starting a plastic surgery program at the University of Pittsburgh. Dupertuis replied, "Nobody'd be interested in that. Nobody." Wishing to train under Dupertuis, Gaisford became Pitt's first plastic surgery resident, starting July 1, 1948, at a salary of $34 a month.
William L. White came to the University from Philadelphia Naval Hospital to work with Dupertuis, who he had met in Valley Forge during World War II. Gaisford and White recruited Ross H. Musgrave as the second plastic surgery resident.
Musgrave came on board as staff and continued to recruit the very best candidates, such as Salvadore Castanares, Dwight C. Hanna III, Herb Lipshitz, Hank Shimuzu, Philip Antypas, and Robert Chase. The Pitt plastic surgery founding team of Dupertuis, White, Gaisford, Musgrave, Hanna, and James E. Conklin played a significant role in developing cleft lip and palate, head and neck, and hand surgery. Dupertuis died in 1959 at the age of 53 and at the pinnacle of his career, serving as chair of the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and president of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. White became the second chair of the division, a position he would hold for 20 years.
White became chair of the Plastic Surgery Research Council (PSRC) and hosted the PSRC annual meeting in Pittsburgh in 1962. The program continued to flourish, attracting excellent surgeons such as Garry Brody; George Richardson; Timothy Miller; and Libby Wilson, who was also the program's first female doctor. Gaisford, Hanna, and Richardson left PUH for Allegheny General Hospital (AGH), where they practiced for two years before moving to West Penn Hospital and establishing a second plastic surgery residency program in 1967.
J. William Futrell became the division's third chief and first full-time professor. He recruited William M. Swartz, who brought his experience in hand and microvascular surgery from Brown University. The program's headquarters moved from White's office at 3500 Fifth Avenue to Scaife Hall. Skin grafting and random flaps evolved into the use of myocutaneous flaps. A replantation program was created. Gaisford established the burn unit at West Penn.
In 1982, Frederick R. Heckler came to AGH from Mississippi to start a private practice and work with the trauma service, later joined by Michael White, upon his graduation from the Pitt Plastic Surgery Residency. In 1983, Hanna and Futrell consolidated the West Penn and Pitt plastic surgery training programs. At that time, Hanna was chair of ABPS and was determined to take the total number of residents from six to five to reduce the competition in the market.
Microvascular surgery expanded with the arrival of E. Douglas Newton, and breast reconstruction using muscle flaps and tissue expansion became standards of care. Kenneth C. Shestak, a graduate of the Pitt residency program, joined the faculty. Pitt plastic surgery took on a citywide presence, with a strong "town and gown" collegial interaction. Resident experience expanded with the creation of weekly grand rounds for all citywide faculty. The pediatric plastic surgery program expanded when Wolfgang Losken came to Pittsburgh, bringing craniofacial reconstruction and research to Children's Hospital with a gentle hand. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering became hot research topics.
James M. Russavage joined the faculty after completing his training at Pitt in 1993. In 1997, Ernest K. Manders came to Pitt from the Hershey Medical Center, bringing to the trauma service a great wealth of experience in scalp reconstruction, tissue expansion, and major reconstruction. Peter C. Johnson hosted the PSRC annual meeting in Pittsburgh in 1999. Pioneering work in adipose stem cell biology was championed by Futrell. In the new millennium, Shestak became interim chief until the arrival of W. P. Andrew Lee, who became the fourth full-time division chief. Lee brought his lab group with him, strengthened the hand fellowship, and enhanced collaborations with orthopaedic hand surgeons. He developed an internationally recognized Composite Tissue Allotransplantation (CTA) program. During this decade, volunteer clinical faculty continued to convert to full-time faculty based out of Scaife Hall.
Under Lee, research became a major focus. Research on immunosuppression and CTA became an established line of investigation. Kacey G. Marra joined the faculty as laboratory director and brought new expertise in tissue engineering. Stem cell research, especially adipose-derived stem cells, was strongly emphasized in laboratory studies and clinical trials. Pitt plastic surgery was noted for performing the nation's first bilateral hand transplant, above-the-elbow transplant, and first female hand transplant. Joseph E. Losee came to Pitt from Rochester to serve as director of the pediatric and craniofacial plastic surgery program at CHP. He established the Cleft-Craniofacial Center within the Division of Plastic Surgery. Under his direction, the pediatric plastic surgery section grew to six full-time faculty members at the new Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. Losee was also named director of the residency program, which he expanded into one of the largest independent and integrated plastic surgery residencies in the country. J. Peter Rubin, who followed Lee to Pitt, developed nationally recognized programs in body contouring and stem cell research. He hosted the 2009 PSRC annual meeting, marking the third time the event was held in Pittsburgh, a feat rarely accomplished by any institution. Rubin was instrumental in creating the body contouring fellowship and the UPMC Life After Weight Loss program. Shestak and Rubin founded the UPMC Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center. The faculty expanded with the arrival of Carolyn De La Cruz, Michael L. Gimbel, Vu T. Nguyen (associate program director), and many other talented surgeons.
The University of Pittsburgh Division of Plastic Surgery earns departmental status under the leadership of Rubin as chair and Losee as executive vice chair and program director.

NCAA to allow athletes to cash in on their fame
Posted 12:55 pm, October 29, 2019, by Associated Press
ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) – The NCAA Board of Governors has taken the first step toward allowing athletes to cash in on their fame. The board voted unanimously on Tuesday to clear the way for the amateur athletes to "benefit from the use of their name, image, and likeness."
The vote came during a meeting at Emory University in Atlanta after Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith and Big East Conference Commissioner Val Ackerman presented a progress report to the NCAA Board of Governors.
In a news release, board chair Michael V. Drake said the board realized that it "must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes."
It is an important early step in a process that could take months or even years to work its way through the NCAA various layers.
NCAA rules have long barred players from hiring agents and the association has steadfastly refused to allow players to be paid by their schools, with some exceptions.
A California law set to take effect in 2023 would prevent athletes from losing their scholarships or being kicked off their teams for signing endorsement deals.
Other states could put laws in place earlier than that.
The NCAA says it represents some 450,000 athletes nationwide.

We are an award-winning marketing firm that matches brands with high-mileage car owners who want to drive with an ad decal on their car. Since 2012, we have put thousands of wrapped cars on the road for brands throughout the entire country. Through this mutually beneficial relationship, brands use Carvertise to get their message seen in certain geographic locations while drivers join us to make money for something they already do.
Why other drivers advertise with carvertise!
WHAT IS THE WRAPPING PROCESS?
The car wraps we use are safe for your car and its paint.
You are never obliged to participate in any campaign. You always have the choice of what brand goes on your car.
We specially design the car wrap to fit your car.
Our team of professional installers puts the decal on your car and takes it off at the end of campaign.
"Always glad to share my experience. My favorite interactions have been the drivers who honk and wave at me while driving, whether it be in town or at a stop light. I notice a lot of pedestrians in town looking at my car, pointing at my car, and telling their friends or kids to look at my car."
-Erika B., Integrity Staffing Campaign.
"Having the extra cash is great. I use it as my play money where I'll treat my girl friends to dinner on me at least once a month. I've been recommending your program to everyone who asks me about it. It's so easy and makes so much sense."
-Bonnie D., University of Delaware Health Sciences Campaign.
"I honestly think my car looks better with the wrap on it. People don't believe me when I tell them that the original color of my car is silver… everyone thinks it should be black!"
I've received emails offering to wrap my car and pay upwards of $400 per week. Are these real opportunities?
No these are not real opportunities. This is a very common internet scam where a scammer will mail you a fake check and ask you to wire transfer money to an account to "pay for your wrap". The scammers receive the money you transfer, and the fake check they wrote you bounces once you try to deposit it. Carvertise has been receiving more and more notifications that scammers are using our good company name and address to try and trick drivers. Note: Carvertise will never ask for money from our drivers and we will never ask you to write a check to anyone. Secondly, so you can be sure that you are speaking with a real Carvertise representative, we will only ever contact you from an @carvertise.com email address.
No. This service is free to join and always will be.
What are the qualifications to become a driver?
– Drive at least 30 miles / day.
– Own a 2008 model car or newer.
– Factory finish paint job.
This is completely dependent upon our partnering advertisers and when & where they are looking to run campaigns. As soon as there is a potential match between your driving profile and an interested brand, we will be in touch with you through email. Filling out an application does not guarantee that you will be in a campaign.
Our standard payment rate is $100/month. Sometimes there are more specialized campaigns that can pay up to $200 / month but this is not common. We also offer drivers the ability to make additional passive income through parking their cars in certain places at certain times. Our going pay rate for this is typically $30/hour.
Do I get to pick what brand goes on my car?
Typically, you don't have many options for what brand wants to put their message on your car. You are reached out to once we are working with a brand that likes your driving profile, and you are then asked as to whether you would like to participate in the campaign or not. Note, that even after you fill out the driver application, you are never obliged to participate in any campaign unless you want to.
All drivers in our campaigns get paid at the beginning of each month through direct deposit. If your car gets wrapped between the 1st – 15th of the month, then you will get paid at the beginning of the very next month. If your car gets wrapped between the 16th – end of month, then you will get paid at the beginning of the subsequent month.
Can I wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes. Since the wrap can be removed without harming the vehicle, there are no restrictions against wrapping a leased car.
Where would I bring my car to get wrapped?
If operating in the Philadelphia / Greater Philadelphia region, the drivers will come to our headquarters in Wilmington Delaware to get wrapped. If the campaign will be conducted anywhere else in the United States, the car drivers will get their car wrapped at one of our partnered signage shops. Location and appointment wrap time would be clarified well before the start of a campaign.
How long does it take to get my car wrapped?
If the campaign is a partial wrap style, it will take anywhere between 30min – 60min to wrap your car. If the campaign is a full wrap style, it can take anywhere between 6 – 10 hours. In the case the campaign is full-wraps, Carvertise will reimburse its drivers up to $30 for an Uber/Lyft ride to pick them up from the install shop and to drop them back off at an install shop when the car is done.
Would I be considered an independent contractor or employee?
Independent contractor. None of our drivers are considered employees of Carvertise nor our partnered advertiser.
What are the wraps made out of?
The car wraps are essentially oversized stickers that are made specifically for cars. The adhesive is compatible with a car's paint job – it comes off very clean and actually protects your car's paint.
What parts of the car will be wrapped?
If the campaign is a partial wrap, then the sides of the car and the back window will be wrapped (the back window is a transparent perforated decal). If the campaign is a full-wrap, the entire car will be wrapped with the exception of the front window and the side front windows.
How long does my car stay wrapped in advertising?
It depends upon the length of the campaign, but it can be anywhere from 2 months to 6 months.

Q: Parsing a (complicated) URL This is a tricky one that requires a level of Excel function mastery I don't currently have. I have been studying Excel's site for way too long and I'm still not progressing.
I am trying to take a complicated URL like:

http://dp18776.live.domiain.net/active/MO_Mi_WFM

and parse it so that I get this:

live.domain.net

The closest I have gotten is with this:

http://dp18776.live.domiain.net

My logic:
=LEFT(A17, SEARCH(".net",A17)+3)

The reason I can't stop there is because the local part can be variable across the thousands of records, whereas only the domain is (e.g. live.domain.net) constant.
I also know I need to use the MID function, I was testing what I could get away with on more basic functions, but the bigger wrench in the works is that I need to be able to key off ".net" to retrieve the domain, so I need to set the starting point in MID() as ".net" - len(domain)
Would anyone be able to help me complete this formula?

A: Everybody here seems to focus on the .com or .net, but domains don't always end with .com or .net... however, they always end before the /.
So first find where the host name begins:
=FIND("://", A1) + LEN("://")
=FIND("://", A1) + 3

Then find the first slash afterwards – that's where the host name ends:
=FIND("/", A1, FIND("://", A1) + 3)

Or, just in case there's no path at all:
=IFERROR(FIND("/", A1, FIND("://", A1) + 3), LEN(A1) + 1)

And extract everything in between:
=MID(A1;FIND("://";A1)+3;IFERROR(FIND("/";A1;FIND("://";A1)+3);LEN(A1)+1)-(FIND("://";A1)+3))

A1: https://www.example.com/foo/bar
A2: =FIND("://";A1)+3
A3: =IFERROR(FIND("/";A1;A2);LEN(A1)+1)
A4: =MID(A1;A2;A3-A2)

If you want to throw away the leftmost domain component, you can use FIND(".",A1):
=MID(A1;FIND(".";A1)+1;IFERROR(FIND("/";A1;FIND(".";A1)+1);LEN(A1)+1)-(FIND(".";A1)+1))

A1: https://www.example.com/foo/bar
A2: =FIND(".";A1)+1
A3: =IFERROR(FIND("/";A1;A2);LEN(A1)+1)
A4: =MID(A1;A2;A3-A2)

For Salesforce, with no error checks:
=MID(A1,FIND("://",A1)+3,FIND("/",A1,FIND("://",A1)+3)-(FIND("://",A1)+3))

=MID(A1,FIND(".",A1)+1,FIND("/",A1,FIND(".",A1)+1)-(FIND(".",A1)+1))

Note: This still has a few assumptions – e.g. it won't work right if the URLs have a username@domain or username:password@domain. The FIND(".") version also assumes there are at least two domain components and won't work right with https://example/foo – it needs some extra IFERROR() checks for that.

A: You can use regexp via VBA
and get your hostname with something like that:
https?:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)\/.*

group 1:
live.domain.net

A: Without knowing what the conditions are of your local part and where your hangups are, I'd search for the extension and then the first . as you don't have a www.. If you do - search for the second .. I'll provide the parts and then the actual formula.
Searching for whatever extension you need to find.
=IFERROR((SEARCH(".com",A1)),0)+IFERROR((SEARCH(".net",A1)),0)+IFERROR(SEARCH(".org",A1),0)

Searching for your first .
=SEARCH(".",A1)

Then combine them in =MID()
=MID(A1,SEARCH(".",A1)+1,IFERROR((SEARCH(".com",A1)),0)+IFERROR((SEARCH(".net",A1)),0)+IFERROR(SEARCH(".org",A1),0)-SEARCH(".",A1)+3)

If there isn't always a local part, then it may get trickier. There are also some other ways to do it if your local string is always the same length or always has a specific string, or certain values, etc.
You can get rid of the iferror portions if you always know the extension, or you can add additional extensions.

Q: How to use function argument as part of variable? This works
chrome.storage.local.get('sizePref', function(items) { // Get size preferences from storage
  var sizePref2 = items.sizePref.tops; // Set size to a var
  console.log("You can get this " + sizePref2)
});

However, when I try to make it a function
function getSize(itemSize) {
  chrome.storage.local.get('sizePref', function(items) { // Get size preferences from storage
    var sizePref = items.sizePref.itemSize;
    return (sizePref);
  });
}
var mySize = getSize(tops);
console.log("This size that u are looking for is " + mySize)

it says "tops" is undefined.

A: When the property name is in a variable, you use the bracket syntax.  So, instead of this:
items.sizePref.itemSize

you use this:
items.sizePref[itemSize]

In addition, you cannot return a value synchronously from an async callback.  That logic is just wrong.  So, you can't make a function getSize() that will return the result.  The result will not be available until some time LATER after getSize() already returns.  You would have to either pass a callback into getSize() or have getSize() return a promise.
function getSize(itemSize) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve) {
      chrome.storage.local.get('sizePref', function(items) { // Get size preferences from storage
        resolve(items.sizePref[itemSize]);
  });
}

getSize("whatever").then(function(result) {
    // code that uses the result here
});

A: If you are not familiar with promises (viz. unlikely) then you can use callbacks too. I personally think promises are a better way to solve your issue.
function getSize(itemSize, callback) {
  chrome.storage.local.get('sizePref', function(items) {
    // Get size preferences from storage
    var sizePref = items.sizePref[itemSize]; //thanks @jfriend00
    callback (sizePref); //thanks at @Kevin Friedheim
  });
}
var mySize = getSize(tops, function (mySize) {
    console.log("This size that u are looking for is " + mySize)
});

Уильям Брэдфорд (; 14 сентября 1755 — 23 августа 1795) — американский адвокат и судья, 2-й генеральный прокурор США.

Биография
Он был сыном печатника Уильяма Брэдфорда. Начал своё образование в Академии Филадельфии, затем учился в Принстонском университете, где подружился с Джеймсом Мэдисоном. Окончил образование в 1772 году получив степень бакалавра искусств. Вернувшись в Филадельфию, работал и учился у Эдварда Шиппена. Его карьерное продвижение было прервано начавшейся войной.

В 1776 году было созвано ополчение Пенсильвании, куда Уильям записался добровольцем. В том же году был организован «быстрый лагерь» для обучения новобранцев. Руководил им Даниэл Робердо в качестве первого бригадного генерала в штатах. Генерал Робердо выбрал молодого человека в качестве помощника, а затем произвёл его в бригад-майоры в штаб-квартире.

Когда срок его пребывания в ополчении истёк, он присоединился к Континентальной армии в качестве капитана и командира роты в 11-м Пенсильванском полку под командованием Ричарда Хэмптона. 26 декабря 1776 года принимал участие в битве при Трентоне. 10 апреля 1777 года был повышен до подполковника. Вышел в отставку после двух лет службы из-за плохого состояния здоровья и вернулся домой в начале 1779 года.

Брэдфорд присоединился к коллегии адвокатов перед Верховным судом штата Пенсильвания в сентябре 1779 года. 23 ноября 1780 года он был назначен генеральным прокурором штата и работал в этой должности до 20 августа 1791 года. В 1784 году он женился на Сьюзен Вержеро Будинот, единственной дочери Элиаса Будино. 2 августа 1791 года Брэдфорд представлял генерала Уильяма Уэста в первом зарегистрированном деле Верховного суда США. 22 августа 1791 года Брэдфорд был назначен в Верховный суд штата Пенсильвания и прослужил три года.

В 1793 году губернатор Томас Миффлин попросил его помочь в вопросе о смертной казне в штате. Его доклад в законодательном органе был представлен в виде эссе «Запрос о том, насколько необходимо наказание смертью в Пенсильвании». При следующей реорганизации уголовного кодекса Пенсильвании, количество статей со смертной казнью значительно сократилось. Другие штаты последовали примеру Пенсильвании.

8 января 1794 года Джордж Вашингтон сделал его генеральным прокурором США, чтобы заменить Эдмунда Рэндольфа. Он умер во время пребывания в должности в 1795 году.

Округ Брэдфорд, штат Пенсильвания, был назван в его честь.

Q: How to check empty variable in javascript I have JSON file like below:
[{"url":null,"id":null},{"url":"bHo2M0V6ZzdOK0JPUFFSRG16ZHErRUJSWTRCQmxIY2lTL0I3Z2xkeVpnZHpRODRaaHZhOFR6S3VLZFpSaXpsWkVvY25jNDZIZGdJbzl3UE9MZGtmSXBsbHVvLzZuOXB5WXBYWS9VTk03dXM9","id":"7c1335b69b2b4a037b3474da1fab2bbe"}]

Now I am using javascript to parse this JSON file extract values from it. The code for same is:
<script>

<!-- This functions matches query string from URL-->

function getQuery(query) {
  var pReg = new RegExp(query + "\\=([^\\?&]+)", "i");
  if (!pReg.test(window.location.href)) {
    return '';
  }
  var pRes = pReg.exec(window['location']['href']);
    return decodeURIComponent(pRes[1]);
  }

<!-- This function parse JSON -->
function parseJSON() {
  fetch(`cache.json`)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(resJSON => sendData(resJSON))
  .catch(console.error);

<!-- Now this function here, grabs "query string" from "url" and passes it in below function. After that it "searches" that "URL" in "parsed JSON" file above and returns the "id" associated with it. -->

var url;
url = getQuery('url')
function sendData(jsonObj){
  for(var i=0;i<jsonObj.length;i++){
    if(jsonObj[i].url == url){
      var id = jsonObj[i].id;

    }
  }
}

I have explained what above functions do, now coming to question, when I pass a URL as query string which is not present is above JSON file, it will now not return any id because it doesn't have value associated with it. It does same, it doesn't return anything. But then, when this happens I want to log it. For same, I did this:
1.

var url;
url = getQuery('url')
function sendData(jsonObj){
  for(var i=0;i<jsonObj.length;i++){
    if(jsonObj[i].url == url){
      var id = jsonObj[i].id;
      if(id){
        console.log("exists");
      } else {
        console.log("not exists");
      }
    }
  }
}

OR

2.

var url;
url = getQuery('url')
function sendData(jsonObj){
  for(var i=0;i<jsonObj.length;i++){
    if(jsonObj[i].url == url){
      var id = jsonObj[i].id;
      if(typeof id === 'undefined'){
        console.log("not  exists");
      } else {
        console.log("exists");
      }
    }
  }
}

But it is not logging anything when passing URL as query string which does exits in JSON file. Though it logs perfectly when an id is associated with URL. So I guess the code is not wrong. If their is something wrong please point it out.

A: Your first answer should work and also it is better to use let instead of var when using for loops. Try logging the json object inside for loop.
Tried like below and It seems to work.
var jsonObj = [{"url":"abc","id":null},{"url":"abc","id":"7c1335b69b2b4a037b3474da1fab2bbe"}];
var url = "abc"
console.log(jsonObj.length);
for (let i = 0; i < jsonObj.length; i++) {
  let temp = jsonObj[i];
  console.log(temp);
  if (temp.url === url) {
    let id = jsonObj[i].id;
    if(!id){
      console.log("not exists");
    } else {
      console.log("exists");
    }
  }
}

A:

var jsonObj = [{"url":"abc","id":null},{"url":"bHo2M0V6ZzdOK0JPUFFSRG16ZHErRUJSWTRCQmxIY2lTL0I3Z2xkeVpnZHpRODRaaHZhOFR6S3VLZFpSaXpsWkVvY25jNDZIZGdJbzl3UE9MZGtmSXBsbHVvLzZuOXB5WXBYWS9VTk03dXM9","id":"7c1335b69b2b4a037b3474da1fab2bbe"}];
var url = "bHo2M0V6ZzdOK0JPUFFSRG16ZHErRUJSWTRCQmxIY2lTL0I3Z2xkeVpnZHpRODRaaHZhOFR6S3VLZFpSaXpsWkVvY25jNDZIZGdJbzl3UE9MZGtmSXBsbHVvLzZuOXB5WXBYWS9VTk03dXM9";
for (let i = 0; i < jsonObj.length; i++) {

DPD France to Conduct Parcel Delivery by Drone in France
DPD France has been given authorisation to deliver parcels by drone on a second regular commercial line. Located in Isère (South-East of France), which links Fontanil-Cornillon to the village of Mont-Saint-Martin in an 8-minute round trip. The drone will travel from a mobile terminal installed directly in a delivery vehicle, guaranteeing safe drone take-off and landing.
The introduction of this service follows a research project backed by ADEME (Agency for the Environment and Energy Management). To date the delivery driver must travel 20 km for a round trip lasting around 30 minutes to go to Mont-Saint-Martin. This new drone delivery line means that delivery vans can avoid mountain roads and reduces the parcel delivery route to 3 km for a round-trip flight of 8 minutes. When the parcels arrive in Mont-Saint-Martin, they are deposited by drone in a secure, fixed receiving terminal near the town hall making it possible to receive and store several parcels. A delivery receipt is sent via SMS/email to a town hall employee, who is then able to receive the parcel in the compartment just like in a mailbox and subsequently hand-delivered to the recipient. The drone is said to have a range up to 15 km, or around 45 minutes (depending on the wind), payload up to 2 kg and a cruise speed of 30 km/h.


In our Knife Resortation Series we are looking at the big picture, and some of the ramifications, of bringing knives back to life. We recently established The Line all Knife Repairers (or repairmen) see when restoring knives.
In my interviews with these master craftsmen, it is clear they inherently shoulder a burden. A big one. And this burden exists whether they like it or not.
What's the burden? To cross the line or not.
Think about it. Put yourself in the shoes of a Knife Repairer. You repair knives. A knife owner sends you an old knife wanting its broken blade fixed. No problem. Fixing knives is what you do and you are good at it.
you could even weld the broken blade tip back on, if the owner still has it, otherwise you must weld a different tip on instead. At least this way it has the authentic tang stamp.
You know actually fixing the knife isn't the problem. The issue here is "how" to fix it. The actual labor and repair part is doable, but must you authenticate the old knife?
Is the repair going to make the knife appear to be authentic and in original condition? If you have the exact blade to replace that is one thing, but if you don't what is the customer asking you to do?
It'd be easy to say- My job to fix knives. This one needs a new blade and that I can do. What does it matter to me what the knife owner does with this knife? I've simply been hired to fix it. Plus, I don't know he's not just going to give it to little Johnny to dig in the dirt with.
Is it your responsibility to screen your customers to determine their intent for the knives? Are they going to sale or keep them? Even if your customers say they are collectors won't the knives be sold eventually, so what then? Or do you simply do what you've been hired to do and fix the knife- no questions asked.
Do you repair it and then give the owner a "letter" explaining the repair that he must use if he ever decides to sell it so the buyer will know the knife's not authentic (assuming you couldn't find a blade original to the pattern and the knife company with the right stamp to use)? How then do you know the owner will provide the eventual buyer with your letter anyway? Or do you add something to the knife- an identifier, so it's "tagged" for the rest of its life clearly distinguishing it as having been worked on?
You are a Knife Repairer. And inherent with that job is a burden, because you see The Line.
Knife Restoration- Is it an acceptable practice for old knives?
Folks have different opinions on Knife Reconditioning, which is why it is the most widely debated topic today.
This discussion leads us head-on into seeking answers to questions like- What obligations do the sellers of repaired knives have, if any? What about the guys doing the reconditioning- are they free to do whatever their customers want or are they obligated to police customers' requests?
Check most any knife forum and you'll find Knife Squads critiquing old knives. And when they think a seller is trying to slip one by- Katie bar the door.
CNJ is wading knee-deep into this controversial topic through a series of articles exploring the ethics of working on and selling repaired old knives.
To launch this series, let me pose this situation to get you thinking.
You're at an estate sale digging through a box of old knives when one catches your eye. It seems all the knives in the box have one problem or another, but you give the guy $2.00 and off you go.
Later that night you empty your pockets on your dresser and there that knife is. You decide to set aside time tomorrow, if you have it, to clean the knife up a bit, cause it really needs some attention.
Tomorrow comes and goes, as does the next day and the next. Actually it is several weeks before you find the time and the interest to hit at that knife. But when you do, its character begins to shine through. And while you like the knife, it isn't an EDC, so you put in back in the drawer with your other knives.
Then one day while you are looking for something in that drawer- there that knife is again. You'd forgotten all about it. You decide to take it to a guy who is a master craftsman to work his magic on it.
You drop it off the next week with the guy hoping he can bring it back to life.
A couple weeks later he calls- your knife is alive and doing well, and ready to be picked up.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention- the master craftsman had to put another old blade on it, cause as you know when you bought it, that blade was broken off.
Stay tuned and get ready- the Knife Restoration Series should be real interesting.

Many consumers do not realize that they have the power to enter into a debt settlement agreement with their creditors if they have a debt load they cannot handle such as a student loan debt. Sometimes, creditors are willing to receive pennies on the dollar for debts simply because they will receive something for the debt in contrast to nothing if the debt goes into bankruptcy court.
One of the most popular types of debt these days is high student loan debt. Many people have older type student loans with previous higher interest rates and also just unmanageable monthly payments. Student loans can be as high as $1000 a month or more depending on the type of school and amount of debt. There may be student loan consolidation programs or better loan options for you to bring down your student loan monthly payments. Fill out the form above to find out more information on reduction of student loans if it is possible in your state.
Your creditors are not going to roll over and hand you a debt settlement offer without a fight. Make your offer, and expect them to tell you no. Do not get angry, but continue to push for what you need.
If you can get together enough cash to make a cash payment to pay down your debt, you are more likely to be successful in your endeavor. This may not be possible, and in recent economic times creditors have been more willing to work with borrowers to make regular payments, but if possible, have a lump sum ready to pay, even if you have to borrow it from a friend or family member.
Call Your Credit Card Company Call your credit card company and ask to talk to someone who has the authority to work with debt settlement. Then, make your offer. Credit card companies will not make debt settlement offers in writing. Accepting an offer over the phone is acceptable.
Keep in mind that your offer will not likely be accepted with your first phone call. The creditor is going to push to see if you have more money to offer. Keep a log of all phone calls, including the name of the person you talked to. Your creditor will have a similar log on your account.
If your account gets turned over to collections, your creditor stands to get back very little, often as little as a few cents per dollar. As such, start your offer low, because your creditor will still benefit substantially. Consider asking for a settlement of 25 percent or even less. If the creditor is willing, they will likely negotiate with you. The lower you start the offer, the better your final agreement will be.
Because credit card companies will not negotiate until you are at least 60 days behind in your bills, you have little to lose by playing the waiting game. If you cannot get an acceptable debt settlement the first time you call, call again and again until someone is willing to work with you.
. If you feel uncomfortable working through the settlement of debt on your own, be willing to enlist the help of a professional debt settlement company.


Many people have a long delay between developing a mental health problem and receiving appropriate treatment and support. The longer people delay getting help and support, the more difficult the recovery can be. It is important that people are supported by their family, friends and work colleagues during this time. People are more likely to seek help if someone close to them suggests it.
It can be hard to know whether you or someone you know needs help for a mental health problem. These sites can help you find out more about mental health problems and where to get help in Australia.
Psychological injury claims tend to be more costly and usually involve longer absence periods than physical injury claims. Early intervention for mental health problems, paths to alternative employment where possible and effective conflict resolution where necessary can help prevent many claims occurring. Mental health training can play a key role in assisting supervisors with these processes.

After A. E. Housman's death in 1936, his brother Laurence was made his literary executor and over the next two years published further selections of poems from his manuscripts: in 1936 More Poems and, between 1937-9, Additional Poems, although the latter were never printed as a separate edition. As much more of Housman's earlier writing was brought to light, its autobiographical nature clarified his suppressed homosexuality. There are also recognisable Classical influences.

Editing

In the preface to More Poems, Laurence Housman quoted the following instructions from the poet's will:
 "I permit [my brother] but do not enjoin him to select from my verse manuscript writing, and to publish, any poems which appear to him to be completed and to be not inferior to the average of my published poems; and I direct him to destroy all other poems and fragments of verse."

Only two collections of A. E. Housman's poems had been published at widely separated intervals during his lifetime, A Shropshire Lad (1896) and Last Poems (1922). Laurence published a further 49 poems in More Poems on 26 October 1936, only a few months after the poet's death. The first impression was of 8,856 copies, followed immediately by a second impression of 5081; a later corrected third printing of 7,500 followed that. The American edition published that year had several textual differences to the British original.

A further selection of 18 poems under the title Additional Poems appeared in Laurence's memoir My Brother, A.E. Housman (1937), together with his light verse and parodies and a selection of letters. Five more poems (three from old periodicals) were added to these in the Collected Poems of 1939.

Subsequent scholarship, most notably by Tom Burns Haber in The Manuscript Poems of A. E. Housman (1955) and Archie Burnett in his edition of The Poems of A. E. Housman (1997), has deprecated Laurence's editing. Burnett charged that "The text of many poems was misrepresented: poems not completed by Housman were printed as though complete; versions he cancelled were reinstated; separate texts were conflated; and many poems were mistranscribed from the manuscripts."

The poems
Several poems in Laurence's selection for More Poems had already been considered by Housman for his previous collections, even reaching the page proof stage, before being rejected as not meeting his editorial aims there. Among them was the earnest "The Sage to the Young Man" (4), with its old fashioned forms of address, originally destined for A Shropshire Lad. It had, however, been published anonymously at a later date in the school magazine The Edwardian (April 1916).  Five more, Poems 18, 26, 33, 45 and 46, had been intended for Last Poems. Among work taken from old publications, Poem 48 was one of the earliest, having appeared as "Parta Quies", under his initials only, in Waifs and Strays (March 1881). With textual variants, it was retitled "Alta Quies" for More Poems but the original title and text were restored in Collected Poems (1939).

One of the notable qualitative differences between More Poems and the earlier collections was the greater use of a personal voice, unmediated by such fictitious masks as the rustic 'Shropshire Lad', on which Laurence commented himself in his memoir: "I found that most of these were more autobiographical than any that had appeared previously," citing in particular Poems 30-33. The first two of those poems have been taken to refer to the break in relations with Moses Jackson. The intimations of homosexual feelings there were reinforced by the publication of "Oh who is this young sinner with the handcuffs on his wrists", Poem 18 in Additional Poems, for which there is evidence that it shows sympathy for Oscar Wilde at the time of his trial in 1895.

Other personal themes occur towards the end of More Poems. "Farewell to name and number" (40) commemorates, not the death of an anonymous soldier but that of Housman's brother George Herbert in October 1901 during the Second Boer War. Again, the initials "A. J. J." (42) conceal those of Housman's friend Adalbert Jackson who died on 12 November 1892. In the case of "For my Funeral" (47), Housman was anticipating his own death. In a sealed envelope with that title had appeared instructions that the poem should be used during his funeral service. It was accordingly printed in the four page sheet with the service order on 4 May 1936, when it was sung in Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge. It also appeared in the Evening Standard for that date. Evidence that the poem was written more than a decade before that event is given by the appearance of a translation into Latin alcaics which was published by his colleague Allen Beville Ramsay in Ros Rosarum in 1925.

Classical influences
Although Housman insisted on the separation between his work as a professor of Latin and his writing as a private person, and specifically denied all but the most superficial influence of his Classical learning on A Shropshire Lad, this was not true of his other published work. Already in Later Poems there had appeared "Epithalamium" (24), with its Classical references and form, contiguous to "The Oracles" (25), which has the  Battle of Thermopylae as its subject.  The story of "Atys" opens Additional Poems. The account was available to Housman in Herodotus, but in this case he has made of it a dialogue in the manner of a Border ballad. In More Poems, "Diffugere Nives" is a translation of one of Horace's Odes and had already been published in Quarto (Vol. 3, 1897) in the year following the appearance of A Shropshire Lad. Another poem, "Crossing alone the nighted ferry" (23), is based on ancient Greek beliefs about the journey to Hades, the land of death.

Song settings
Of the 49 texts in Last Poems, thirteen still remain unset by composers. Thirty separate settings are due to the enthusiasm of John Ramsden Williamson (1929-2015), who also compiled some into two cycles. 4 Housman Songs (2001) included single poems from A Shropshire Lad and Additional Poems as well as Poems 43 and 19 from More Poems;  3 More Housman Songs (for baritone and piano, 2004)  contained "Parta Quies" (48) from More Poems and two more from Additional Poems.

Other song-sets also combine poems from more than one of Housman's collections. Of the five in Jake Heggie's Here and Gone (2005), two are from Last Poems and three from More Poems (14, 7 and 31); in Green Buds (1954) by  Leslie Mann (1923-77), there are two from A Shropshire Lad and two from More Poems:  Poem 9, which has been given the cycle's title, and Poem 19, retitled "The Mill Stream"; in Peggy Glanville-Hicks' 5 Songs for medium voice and piano (1952), the first two pieces are from Additional Poems, while the other three are Poems 7, 12 and 29 from More Poems. Jan Meyerowitz's 2 Choruses (1957) for male voices and horn are settings of poems about death and burial (14 and 24) from More Poems alone.

In its first earnings report of the year, the e-commerce specialist with blockchain ambitions didn't do much to change that negative broader retailing story. On the one hand, it took small steps toward improving both its top- and bottom-line metrics over the past few months. Its management team also predicted a better profit outing in 2019. However, Overstock's latest results still show signs of major struggles in its core retailing division.
Overstock managed a modest sales trend improvement during the key holiday shopping period, but its results translated into significant market-share losses to rivals like Wayfair (NYSE: W). Both its retailing and cryptocurrency tech divisions lost money, as well.
A modern appointed living room.
Sales in the retail division, which accounts for the vast majority of Overstock's business, fell 1% to mark an improvement over the prior quarter's 4% drop. Yet with Wayfair growing its home furnishing sales by over 40% in the period, that metric implies significant competitive struggles.
CEO Patrick Byrne took responsibility for the company's profit struggles in 2018, saying in a press release that "Our retail arm lost money last year because I gunned things in an attempt to create a conventional high-growth/money losing e-commerce business." Byrne continued, "But the losses were nauseating, and we reverted back to the philosophy of profitability on which we built Overstock."
Management didn't announce any progress in its hope for selling off the retailing side of the business, and that fact likely played a role in the sharp stock price drop immediately following the report.

Mediaite has learned that Fox News White House correspondent Major Garrett is leaving the network effective September 3rd to return to his roots in print journalism. White House correspondents Wendell Goler and Mike Emanuel will assume joint coverage of the WH beat for Fox News.

MAJOR GARRETT RETURNS TO PRINT JOURNALISM
Leaves FOX News September 3rd
FOX News' Chief White House correspondent Major Garrett announced today that he will leave the network effective September 3rd to return to his roots in print journalism. White House correspondents Wendell Goler and Mike Emanuel will assume joint coverage of the beat.
In making the announcement, Garrett said, "Slightly more than eight years ago, [FOX News Chairman & CEO] Roger Ailes, [former FOX News Executive Vice President] John Moody and [former FOX News Washington Managing Editor and current Senior Political Analyst] Brit Hume created a full-time reporting position for me in the Washington bureau. Our new Senior Vice President of News, Michael Clemente, has continued that support. Since August of 2002, the network and its top executives have given me every opportunity a journalist could hope for. I thank the network for giving me the chance to grow as a reporter and broadcaster."
He continued, "Throughout my television career, I've known with certainty I would someday return to my roots in print journalism. That day has come. I will soon announce an exciting new phase of my career — one made possible in no small part by FOX News' consistent support. It would take a lot – something near perfection – to lure me away from the best job I've ever had. Details to come."
Garrett further remarked, "I will miss many dear FOX News journalists, colleagues and friends. I wish all of them success. I look forward to discussing my future work on FOX News – keeping in touch with an audience I've come to know and cherish. Before I leave FOX News, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every viewer who extended to me their generous good wishes, support and encouragement."
Michael Clemente, Senior Vice President of News Editorial for FOX News added, "There are reporters and then there are truly tenacious reporters who come along every so often. Major Garrett is a fact-finding machine, and wherever he goes he will continue to serve an audience that is thirsting for genuine reporting and balance. We wish him the best as he turns this page."
Joining FOX News from CNN in 2002, Garrett served as the network's chief White House correspondent since January 2009. Prior to that, he held the position of congressional correspondent reporting on House and Senate races and providing extensive coverage of the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections. Before embarking on a television career, Garrett spent seven years at the Washington Times as its congressional reporter and later a deputy national editor.
FOX News Channel (FNC) is a 24-hour general news service covering breaking news as well as political, business and entertainment news. For over 100 consecutive months, FNC has been the most-watched cable news channel in the country. Owned by News Corp., FNC is available in more than 90 million homes.
> Update #2: Here's an internal memo sent out from Clemente:
After eight years of solid work at Fox News, Major Garrett is moving to the next phase of his career and returning to his roots in print journalism.
As you well know, Major is as sharp and determined as any journalist in the business. He's been at Fox since 2002, having already worked at CNN and a number of print organizations including The Washington Times and U.S. News and World Report. He's covered everything, from wars to elections, Congress, the White House, impeachment and terror attacks. He was with President Bush on September 11th in Florida and he's been with President Obama, across the globe.
We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and we want to give a heads up to those who may find themselves on the receiving end of his questions…get ready.
A press release is attached as we send this news out beyond Fox, so please join me in wishing Major the best of luck, as he bids farewell here.
