Obituary for Walter Miles Shephard
Mr. Walter Miles Shephard, beloved husband for 63 years of Virginia Masten Shephard, passed away on January 21, 2016. He is survived by his daughter Susan Shephard Fornaro and her husband Nicholas of Easton, MA; son Richard Miles Shephard and his wife Linda Devore Shephard of Albuquerque, NM; his daughter Barbara A. Shephard and her husband Ivan D. Frantz III of Hingham, MA, his sister Dorothy Moran of Ansonia, CT and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his sisters Arlene Shephard and Grace Falco and brother Clarence. He is also survived by grandchildren Alex Fornaro, Brittany Shephard Baca, Emily Hall Shephard, Ivan D. Frantz IV and Leland Miles Frantz; great-grandchildren Noah and Austin Baca.
Walter was born in 1928 and raised in the south end of Bridgeport, CT, attended Sacred Heart School, Bassick High School, and University of Bridgeport. He started his 44 year career at Sikorsky Aircraft in 1948, served and retired from the Connecticut National Guard and moved to Stratford, CT in 1952. During his career at Sikorsky Aircraft he was assigned to a Program Management Team located in Germany where he moved his family for three years. He returned to Sikorsky in Stratford where he progressed to higher management positions. Walter retired as Director of Operations-Spares in 1991, responsible for processing customer orders and delivery to US Military and customers worldwide.
Walter was a gregarious, generous man who endeared himself to all who came to know him. He was happiest when surrounded by friends and family in social gatherings. He was unbeatable in pinochle which he taught his children and grandchildren. He was well-known for his meticulous grooming of his yard and especially his cars. He loved music and was active in singing groups throughout the area including Our Lady of Grace church choir, St. Mark's church choir and St. Mark's Players as well as United Chorale. As a young man he was a musician in local dance bands. Walter and Ginny loved traveling which they were able to do extensively after his retirement, visiting 6 continents. Walter was a sports enthusiast and was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. Recently his loyalty drifted to the New England Patriots.
In 2010, Walter and Virginia relocated to the Boston area to live closer to their daughters. During these past months of illness, Walter inspired all by his spirit and energy driven by his desire to stay with his family as long as he could. Though he will be sorely missed, his comfort and rest in heaven is well deserved.
Friends are invited to attend his Funeral Service on Tuesday, January 26, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. in the William R. McDonald Funeral Home, 2591 Main St, Stratford and at 10:00 a.m. in Saint Mark's Church for a Funeral Mass of Christian Burial. Interment will follow in Saint Michael's Cemetery, Stratford. Friends may visit with the family Monday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the funeral home.

We're using unusual weights on the NTW Satellite this week!
I'm currently sat in the balcony of Small World Theatre in the most gorgeous of Welsh towns, Cardigan. It's the morning of our latest Assembly "Who controls the Drones in our Sky?" and all of the team are scurrying around trying to get the place ready for tonight's performance.
This will only be a quick blog, as we're about to do a camera tech rehearsal, but I just wanted to point you towards the link if anyone wanted to tune in tonight online- we'll be livestreaming the whole event, and would love you to watch and let us know what you think!
You can see the stream over here, to join in with the chat, you need to sign in/ join livestream.com.
Hope you all enjoy it! It's been a gorgeous project to work on!


Anthony Davis, Ryan Anderson and Jeff Withey of the New Orleans Pelicans joined some local children at a toy store for the team's yearly Christmas shopping spree.
Glad we were able to give back tonight.. Here's the boyz @rjanderson33 @antdavis_23 And I doing an interview. Don't I look good!!
Davis is expected to return to action for the Pelicans Tuesday night after leaving early in the team's Friday game against the Cavaliers with a chest injury which also kept him out of the game against Golden State on Sunday. New Orleans is looking to get back to .500 with a win against the 6-18 Jazz.

Q: Setting Hyper and Super modifiers for certain keys with setxkbmap or xmodmap Problem: I want to modify/redefine my keyboard layout (pc105 se) so that when I press certain keys with mod3 (super) and mod4 (hyper), a different character is returned than usual.
E.g.
Keycode 61 produces 'minus' (-) when pressed normally and 'underscore' (_) when pressed with shift. When pressed with the first modifier group (AltGr) 'dead_belowdot' and 'dead_abovedot' is produced (without/with shift).
What I want is a left paranthesis or right paranthesis (without/with shift) when I press the key with the Super (win) key also pressed, and slash/backslash for the Hyper key (which I have configured to Caps Lock).
I have tried to add a .Xmodmap to my home directory and run it with
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap using the following syntax
keycode 61 = minus underscore a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p

However, that will cause AltGr to result in c/d, while win/caps lock still only results in -/_
I have also tried modifying /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/se directly and tried the following changes:
key <BKSL>  { [apostrophe, asterisk, acute, multiply], [a,b,c,d], [e,f,g,h], [i,j,k,l]};

But all that happens is ' * ´ × ' * ' * (for normal, altgr, win and caps lock respectively).
I have also tried
key <BKSL>  { [apostrophe, asterisk, acute, multiply, a,b,c,d, e,f,g,h, i,j,k,l]};

But as soon as there are more than four specified fields, it seems to break the key totaly, and the key reverts to default pc105 (us?) behaviour.
As I have failed to find anything on stackoverflow, superuser or google on how to deal with my scenario, I ask here.
This is my xmodmap -pm
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        Hyper_L (0x42),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)

A: Two years later, I am finally proud to answer my own question.
I have found the easiest, most reliable and most extendable method is to solely rely on xmodmap.
 1. Get keycodes of special keys
Run xev to determine the key code of keys you wish to use as mode switchers. Then press the keys you are interested in and note down the keycode
$ xev
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x2a6, subw 0x0, time 1221887800, (885,743), root:(3447,805),
    state 0x2010, keycode 66 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_switch), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

The keycode is on the third line, keycode 66.
For me, these were the keys I was particularly interested in, and their corresponding key codes for me:

*

*Caps Lock, keycode 66

*Pause|Break, keycode 128

*Left Windows key, keycode 133

*Num Lock, key code 77

 2. Set switcher keys
This is the setup I have opted for, but you can choose your own setup. I have saved this to a file $HOME/.xmodmap.
~/.xmodmap
keycode  66 = Mode_switch
keycode 127 = Multi_key
keycode 133 = Super_L
...

This way I have bound Caps Lock to Mode_switch, Pause Break to Compose and the left Win key to Super_L. The Compose key is particularly useful as it allows two keys to be combined to ligature. E.g. Compose followed by T and M results in the trademark sign ™.
 3. Get current keymap bindings of xmodmap
In order to not destroy my keyboard layout, I wanted to keep my keys as close to my original layout as possible. In order to do that I printed the current keymap and looked for the keycodes I wanted to change.
$ xmodmap -pke | ag 'keycode  51'

Off course, you could just as easily use grep or ack, depending on the tool you prefer to use.
$ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode  41'
$ xmodmap -pke | ack 'keycode  31'

The output of this is in the same format as the one you specify in your ~/.xmodmap like this:
keycode  31 = i I i I rightarrow idotless rightarrow idotless i I rightarrow idotless i I rightarrow idotless

 4. Backup your existing xmodmap
Just in case something goes wrong, it's never a bad Idea to have your current xmodmap available to fall back to easily.
$ xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap.bak

 5. Add characters to 2nd, 3rd, 4th level of your keys
As far as I have understood, the format of the .xmodmap file is like this:
keycode <keycode> = <1st level> <Shift+1st> <2nd level> <shift+2nd> <3rd level> <shift+3rd level> <4th level> <shift+4th> ...

Now, I don't understand all those levels but Mode_Switch (Caps Lock in my case) will give you level 2 and Alt Gr gives me level 3, and that is pretty much all I am interested in so I left the rest of that line as it was in my ~/.xmodmap.bak and just changed the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th columns (level 2 and 3, plus shift) to valid characters (See here for a list of valid characters).
~/.xmodmap
...
keycode  51 = apostrophe asterisk dollar ampersand acute multiply acute multiply apostrophe asterisk acute multiply apostrophe asterisk acute multiply
keycode  59 = comma semicolon parenleft parenright dead_cedilla dead_ogonek dead_cedilla dead_ogonek comma semicolon dead_cedilla dead_ogonek comma semicolon dead_cedilla dead_ogonek
keycode  60 = period colon bracketleft bracketright periodcentered dead_abovedot periodcentered dead_abovedot period colon periodcentered dead_abovedot period colon periodcentered dead_abovedot
keycode  61 = minus underscore braceleft braceright slash backslash braceleft braceright
keycode  65 = space space space space space underscore space space
...

 6. Test your .xmodmap
Now let xmodmap execute your .xmodmap and test your brand new keyboard layout.
$ xmodmap /home/user/.xmodmap

 7. Make sure your keyboard layout is loaded on x init
I added this to my $HOME/.xinitrc:
~/.xinitrc
...
[-f $HOME/.xmodmap] && xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmap
...

I hope this was helpful!

John Martorano
By Matt Connolly, A Former Prosecutor's View and Analysis of the Whitey Bulger Trial, his Life, and the F.B.I.
My friend Brendan B used to say to me: "I was born at night but not last night." In going along willy-nilly with some of the testimony I've heard without properly considering it sometimes I think I was born last night.
Here's one thing I was bothered by after writing about Murderman Martorano and recalling his testimony. I couldn't put my finger on it until today.
I told how Murderman Martorano testified in a multiple hearsay manner saying that Whitey said John Connolly said Billy Bulger said Connolly should keep Whitey out of trouble. I told how the newspapers sang with glee in their next day headlines about this testimony suggesting that it apparently implicate Billy in Whitey's criminal enterprise.

Q: How to get the value from a list which is bigger and the rest of lists elements is also bigger than the defined value? I have a 2D list Signal that is a list and contains two lists, the first list is the x values of the signaé and the second is the y values. I would like to get the x value when the y value is bigger than 54.7, but if one of the y values is bigger than 54.7, the rest of the y value should also bigger than 54.7.
Here is the code, but it has a bug. How shall I proceed further
    #The signal is a list which contains 2 lists
Signal=[[0,2.5,3,5,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18],[10,20,30,40,57,53,54.2,53,52,55,57,52,58,70]]
ti=-1

#Create an x values
x = Signal[0]
#Create an y values
y = Signal[1]

I want to get the first value of the x when the y >54.7, and after all the element is bigger.
The desired output would be 17, so the (ti=17)
Thank you in advance!

A: You should search the y array from right to left. If the first checked value is < 54.7, return None, since there is no solution. For each consequent value, check if it is < 54.7 - if it is, keep going, if it is not, return the previously corresponding x. If you reach the leftmost element and it is also < 54.7, return x[0].

A: signal=[[0,2.5,3,5,8,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18],[10,20,30,40,57,53,54.2,53,52,55,57,52,58,70]]
ti=-1
threshhold = 34.7
y = signal[1]
y_thresholded = np.array(y)-threshhold
y_bool = y_thresholded > 0

Thomas Exley (9 December 1774 – 17 February 1855) was an English schoolmaster and schoolkeeper, who taught and occasionally published on mathematics, but was better known for advancing controversial scientific theories and for theological discussions, with special reference to Methodism.

Exley was born in Gowdall, a village one mile west of Snaith, Yorkshire. He settled at Bristol in the last week of 1799, quickly resuming work teaching mathematics. In 1812 he brought out with the Rev. William Moore Johnson, then curate of Henbury, Gloucestershire, a compilation entitled The Imperial Encyclopædia; or, Dictionary of the Sciences and Arts; comprehending also the whole circle of Miscellaneous Literature, &c., 4 vols. 4to, London [1812]; the following year, on 6 January 1813, he was awarded an honorary MA degree from King's College, Aberdeen, on the nomination of Johnson and their mutual brother-in-law Dr. Adam Clarke, both Johnson and Clarke already holding honorary degrees from Aberdeen. By 1848 Exley had given up keeping school and retired to Cotham Park Road, Bristol. He was an early member of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and read several papers at its meetings.

The Imperial Magazine; or Compendium of Religious, Moral & Philosophical Knowledge carried a profile of Exley in the sixth issue of its first volume in 1819. Exley was then only forty-four, but the final paragraph observes that, the life of a retired mathematician can hardly be expected to furnish any extensive variety. He died on 17 February 1855, aged 80.

Mathematical activities
Exley showed an early taste for mathematics. He was a pupil at a classical and mathematical school near Barnard Castle, North Yorkshire and then moved to Manchester in search of further study and employment, finding both in a recently opened classical school. This was also his entry to the Clarke family, as, in 1796, he married Hannah Clarke, a daughter of the schoolkeeper and sister of Dr. Clarke. Exley opened his own school in Huddersfield, but, despite its success, ill health obliged him to move again, which is how he came to settle in Bristol. His reputation was assured there when, in 1802, he solved some challenging questions that appeared in a local paper.

Exley has not left much in the way of mathematical legacy, but work on the extraction of cube roots did attract favourable attention. He published his method in the entry on arithmetic in The Imperial Encyclopædia and returned to the subject in a note in The Imperial Magazine in 1819. His friend and associate W. G. Horner remarks on this contribution in his more celebrated paper on root extraction presented to the Royal Society of London that year. Exley and Horner were examiners at Kingswood School, then in Bristol: Exley for mathematics; Horner for classics.

In the preface the author states that "this work is not a mushroom notion just sprung up; indeed for more than forty years it has occupied my thoughts".

John Thompson Exley
A son, John Thompson Exley (1815—1899), from Thomas Exley's second marriage, matriculated at St. John's College, Cambridge in 1834 and stood twenty-third Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos in 1838. He taught at the short-lived Bristol College, being styled Vice-Principal in the period 1840—1841, just before the College failed. Thereafter he kept a substantial boys' school in Bristol on Cotham Road. On his death, the substantial library built up by the Exleys, father and son, passed to the fledgling University College and today forms the core of the Exley Collection at the University of Bristol. An item of special personal interest in the collection is John Exley's manuscript notebook on mathematics from his undergraduate years.

The Pros and Cons of an Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP)
Web Development, Marketing
AMP is an acronym for the Accelerated Mobile Page (AMP) project. It is an open source initiative launched by Google and Twitter that increases the loading speed for web pages on mobile devices. At its core AMP is a stripped-down form of HTML, effectively making it a web page designed to be extremely lightweight and fast loading. It derives its speed advantage over regular web pages by limiting the number of tags allowed on an HTML page. It also uses a streamlined version of CSS where only certain parts of the standard can be used to transform particular HTML elements. However, it is its restriction on the use of JavaScript that gives AMP its superior speed advantage over regular web pages.
Fundamental to the AMP specification is that JavaScript is not allowed. It does come with an off-the-shelf JavaScript library that provides some scripting features users have come to expect. By limiting HTML tags, streamlining CSS, and severely restricting JavaScript, AMP pages load much faster and are an ideal platform for displaying content on mobile devices. The core premise of this platform is to allow content creators to deliver information to end users in an easily readable and super fast format. It does this in a few ways. For example, images do not load until the user scrolls them into view. The other factor that makes it so fast is that it is designed to be heavily cached. As the user's device effectively fetches the content directly from Google instead of the origin server, its load times are significantly improved. However, even though AMP provides various advantages for creators and publishers, there are a few disadvantages that come with utilizing this platform for delivering high-speed content to your end users.
When it comes to making advertising revenue off ads hosted on your website running your site via the AMP platform has a significant disadvantage. Since users are effectively accessing content hosted on Google's servers, they will be viewing Google ads as opposed to paid content that is hosted on your website. This feature means that there will be more ad revenue for Google and less for the paid content creator. However, Google has acknowledged this shortcoming and allows you to link back to ads on your original site by using an amp-ad script and adding an amp-ad tag to your Accelerated Mobile Page site.
As stated, AMP is able to provide superior performance over standard web pages due to its implementation of a stripped down HTML, a streamlined instance of CSS, and severely limiting the use of JavaScript. However, these development features can hamstring the creation of modern websites where users expect a certain level of animation and functionality. It also limits what UX designers can create and align with your site and corporate branding guidelines. The other issue is building the AMP site itself. Since most of the coding needs to be done manually, an architectural decision needs to be made before any development can begin. You either need to build your traditional site and then refactor it, or disregard any aesthetics and features and make it an Accelerated Mobile Page site from the outset.
User Tracking and AMP Cached Pages
Another disadvantage of using the AMP platform instead of having visitors access your regular website directly is that tracking user activities is not straightforward. The fact is that AMP does not work with any visitor tracking that you have already implemented. Google tracks and stores these pages differently. Although some solutions resolve this challenge, monitoring user activity on AMP pages takes effort and a different set of resources. The other negative drawback from using AMP is that the content is served directly from Google's cache servers. This feature allows Google to serve AMP pages much faster as they do not need to send traffic to an origin server. However, it also means the pages that appear in search results are held on the Google platform. As a result of this cached architecture, your visitors are not receiving content from the pages you originally created. They are effectively viewing a cached copy of your content that is stored somewhere else. Not only does this influence user tracking behavior, but it also means sites that need to serve refreshed content regularly need to factor this mechanism into their overall solution architecture.
Hidden Implementation Costs
In addition to the advertising revenue, user tracking, and the challenges that come with having your pages cached by Google, AMP pages also have a few other disadvantages. The limited HTML and CSS you can leverage, as well as the near non-existent use of JavaScript, means that you cannot develop rich User Interface (UI) experiences. The engineering time needed to build AMP pages is also much longer, so it increases your overall site development costs. For example, if your AMP site needs forms, adding this feature requires further technical implementation which results in additional time and expense. You also need to factor in the maintenance cost of managing an AMP site. As it would form part of your larger digital strategy, you would need to ensure compatibility across different browsers, devices, and align and design the AMP experience with the equivalent regular versions of your content.
The Benefits of AMP Far Outweigh the Costs
Even though AMP has its drawbacks, leveraging this platform to deliver content to your mobile user base has many more advantages than disadvantages. It offers you standardized mobile optimization, and it gives your site a significant improvement when it comes to search ranking in a mobile-first world. In addition to these benefits, one cannot argue that the speed performance of AMP versus traditional mobile sites is far superior. You may have limitations in what you can do with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but the limited user interface is a small price to pay for the significant improvements in speed and performance. Finally, AMPs have the distinct advantage of rating first in Google's search engine result algorithm. Site owners who are considering AMP for their websites must weigh the advantages against the disadvantages. They need to evaluate the pros of improved speed and higher search ranking versus the cons of development limitations, complex user tracking, caching issues, higher upfront development costs, and the ongoing maintenance burden of using this platform.

Q: main method with class name and file name My file name is Temp.java and inside it I have this. I'm using eclipse IDE
/*package*/ class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("test");
    }
}

So I was unable to run this as java application. I change my class name to Temp
class Temp {
 ....
}

Now I can. Can someone explain me why ?

A: This is probably a limitation of Eclipse. The code runs well from command line.
As I understand, you are trying to embed your unit tests in the same file with the class under test. This is a nice idea and I totally concur with it. You can read more about how you can succeed in Ben J. Christensen's blog post. Generally, he suggests placing the tests in a static inner class, not a standalone class in the same file.
An example from the Netflix Hystrix framework: HystrixCircuitBreaker.UnitTest

A: The class (which main should be run) inside the .java file must have the same name as the file. If the class is not public (as in your case) the class will compile but it can't be run since Eclipse tries to load the class according to the file name.

A: The code below, located in Temp.java, compiles and runs fine with Netbeans:
class Whatever {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("hello");
    }
}

A: The problem is with eclipse, i think you are trying to run using right click -> run as -> Java Application, unfortunately eclipse is not showing this option if the class is not public.
But you can still run the class using Alt+Shift+X,J.
Its not the problem with Java, its with Eclipse.

A: The name of the file should be the same as the class name which is public and has the main() method. In your first case the file name Temp.java will compile and will create Test.class file not Temp.class because there is no Temp class declared in your file.
after .class file is created , run it with java Test
so here's an example
//Filename abc.java
public class hi
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
 System.out.println("Hell");
}
}

the output
abc.java:1: class hi is public, should be declared in a file named hi.java
public class hi
       ^
1 error

but if you do this
 //Filename abc.java
    class hi
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
     System.out.println("Hell");
    }
    }

it will create hi.class file so
D:\>java hi
Hell

A Complete Guide to
NORTH RIM
While Grand Canyon National Park draws millions of visitors each year, few of those visitors visit the North Rim. Yet, the Grand Canyon North Rim feels like a hidden gem, and is well worth visiting.
Because of its higher level, the Grand Canyon North Rim experiences winter weather. Therefore, the park is not open year-round. The opening dates usually run mid-May until mid-October.
The Grand Canyon North Rim sits on the northwest corner of Arizona. It is 80 miles from Kanab, Utah, and is an ideal stop on an itinerary that also includes Zion and Bryce Canyon.
Why the North Rim?
The Grand Canyon North Rim only receives 10% of the park's 6 milllion visitors, so there are no crowds. It's also 1000 feet higher in elevation, which means better views and cooler temps.
North Rim Scenic Drive
Driving along the North Rim Scenic Drive will gives you an appreciation of the scenic beauty and remoteness of the park. Be sure to stop at the viewpoints and pullouts.
Cape Royal
Cape Royal sits on the southernmost point of the Grand Canyon North Rim – because of this, this is the closest thing you get to a total panoramic view.
Point Imperial
Standing at 8803 feet, Point Imperial is the highest point in the entire Grand Canyon National Park. It is also the northernmost overlook, which gives you a different perspective than other viewpoints.
Bright Angel Point
Hands-down the most popular of the things to do at Grand Canyon North Rim, because it is where you will find those classic North Rim views. It is also easily accessible from the visitors center.

A Brief Bio on Wicker Park
April 26, 2020 | ALL POSTS
I moved to the Wicker Park neighborhood over 20 years ago. As an Urban Studies major, the rich immigrant and architectural history of this neighborhood mixed with the fiercely independent and artistic energy truly appealed to me. Learning about the history of Wicker Park helps to understand how this neighborhood became the vibrant area that it is today.
The Wicker Park District has been part of Chicago since it's incorporation as a city in 1837. At the heart of this community is a beautifully landscaped park developed and named after Charles G. Wicker and his brother Joel H. Wicker. Industry first came to the area in 1857 when the Rolling Mill Steel Works opened along the river near Ashland and Armitage. An Irish community settled in that area providing the major source of labor for the mill. Germans and Norwegians were the first ethnic groups pushing out of the city along the immigrants' path to prosperity. Not too long after they were followed by the Jews and then the Poles.
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 changed the landscape forever. Prosperous families that moved into the area built large mansions and greystones that still line our picturesque, tree-lined streets. Like the Wicker Park Inn, a plethora of the homes have historical value and can be traced back to the industrial surge in the 1900s.
Beginning in the 1960s, Wicker Park began to change radically. Construction of the Kennedy Expressway, completed in 1960, had displaced many residents and torn holes in the sustaining network of Polish-American churches, settlement houses, and neighborhood groups. This transition coincided with a post World War II housing shortage, and many of the mansions were divided into multifamily units and rooming houses. Although today you'll notice the emergence of newly remodeled single family homes, the prominence of these is still palpable.
Following these shifts, The Wicker Park Eagle newspaper began publishing and claimed to be "in the interest of Wicker Park and the North-West Side." Other businesses included stables, blacksmiths, tailor shops, sausage-makers, coal, wood, stone and lumber yards, laundries, greenhouses, milk depots, bakeries, drug stores, dye works, and eventually large department stores.
During the 1970s, hundreds of cases of insurance-motivated arson were reported in Wicker Park, near St. Elizabeth Hospital. Many small factories near the area (many in woodworking) also closed or moved away. The city increased building code enforcement and raised taxes. The shift from manufacturing to the new city sponsored service economy also increased unemployment in the area and it was now in a downward decline.
Efforts by community development groups like Northwest Community Organization (NCO) to stabilize the community through new affordable-housing construction in the 1980s coincided with the arrival of artists attracted by the neighborhood's easy access to the Loop, cheap loft space in the abandoned factories, and a distinctly urban feel. Our present day neighborhood is best known for its bustling retail corridors filled with hip cafes, boutique shops, excellent dining and great entertainment. Wicker Park is a convenient place to live for due to its proximity to public transportation and The Loop. In a September 2012 Forbes article, Wicker Park was named the #4 hippest hipster neighborhood in the country. Today, it is home to about 26,000 residents and is known for its architecture, culture, nightlife, and food scene.

Q: Faster 32 bit execution with Hyperthreading disabled? I am using numpy-Python scripts that take a lot of computing power to execute. The scripts themselves are already quite well written an I can say that I cannot really improve their speed by writing them better.
I have an intel i7 m620 (old guy...) on my machine, with Hyperthreading enabled. That means I have 4 threads on a dual-core CPU.
Python only runs one one thread at a time, would disabling Hyperthreading in the BIOS make my program run nearly 2x faster? (only two threads would be available, one per CPU)
Thanks

Categorical encoding of color in the brain
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014 Mar 25;111(12):4590-5. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1315275111. Epub 2014 Mar 3.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1315275111
The areas of the brain that encode color categorically have not yet been reliably identified. Here, we used functional MRI adaptation to identify neuronal populations that represent color categories irrespective of metric differences in color. Two colors were successively presented within a block of trials. The two colors were either from the same or different categories (e.g., "blue 1 and blue 2" or "blue 1 and green 1"), and the size of the hue difference was varied. Participants performed a target detection task unrelated to the difference in color. In the middle frontal gyrus of both hemispheres and to a lesser extent, the cerebellum, blood-oxygen level-dependent response was greater for colors from different categories relative to colors from the same category. Importantly, activation in these regions was not modulated by the size of the hue difference, suggesting that neurons in these regions represent color categorically, regardless of metric color difference. Representational similarity analyses, which investigated the similarity of the pattern of activity across local groups of voxels, identified other regions of the brain (including the visual cortex), which responded to metric but not categorical color differences. Therefore, categorical and metric hue differences appear to be coded in qualitatively different ways and in different brain regions. These findings have implications for the long-standing debate on the origin and nature of color categories, and also further our understanding of how color is processed by the brain.

The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choicest words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech.
Neither greater economic opportunity nor equal rights guarantee an increase in people's capacity to handle crisis maturely.
I always know I've made a good point when someone begins to diagnose me.
If you want to preserve your ideas, keep them to yourself.


Describe your job in five words!
Education, ranger-ing, stewardship, inclusive, inspiring!
As a park ranger, I am always out and about! What I love about this job is that the day-to-day is always totally different. One day I might be stationed at the Bear Valley visitor centre, helping people from all over the world figure out how to spend their day at Point Reyes National Seashore; the next I might be at Drakes Beach, pointing out elephant seals; and other days I might be leading a bird programme, or climbing 308 steps up the historic lighthouse built in 1870.
What animals do you often see whilst at work?
Wow, well the ones that people really want to see are the gray whales migrating past the Point Reyes Headlands, or the northern elephant seals when they haul themselves out of the water to breed, give birth and molt, or the majestic tule elk. Personally though, I have a soft spot for birds, which is lucky because Point Reyes is one of the best spots in the country for birdwatching – over half of all North American bird species have been recorded here!
What challenges do you often face as a part of your job?
Finding enough time to do everything I need to do. But on those days when the fog clears at the lighthouse and I point out whales to visitors that have never seen them, when peregrine falcons scream past a group of us, on days like that, I have to pinch myself to realise it's not a dream that I get to work here.
I started as a volunteer and then got hired as a seasonal park guide and through hard work, timing, networking and a little bit of luck, I got a permanent park ranger position here at my dream park.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue a similar career to you?
Start out as a volunteer, ideally in the park you want to eventually work in. If you want to be a ranger-naturalist like me, have a curious mind driven by the need to learn many new things every day.
Being able to share my excitement for this protected land and seascape with everyone that visits!

Poll: What features and changes do you want to see in iOS 10 at WWDC?
At WWDC on Monday, Apple will unveil the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 10. With the conference being light on hardware, expectations are high for Apple to announce some major new features for iOS 10 on iPhone and iPad. The rumor mill is quieter than usual, so there's definitely a bigger opportunity to be surprised with this year's keynote.
Microsoft is bringing its predictive Windows Phone keyboard, called Word Flow, to the iPhone. The third-party keyboard is now available for free in the US App Store. The keyboard features traditional keycap input as well as the popular swiping-between-letters gesture input method popularized by Swype.
Apple doesn't normally improve the capabilities of Siri outside of a major operating system update, but it has made an exception this time around for baseball. Apple has dramatically improved the knowledge base Siri can draw from for Siri, allowing the voice-activated personal assistant to answer a wider range of questions about the sport. Via The Verge, Siri now covers 28 leagues, not just Major League Baseball, too.
Siri first started answering sports questions with iOS 6. Apple says that the upgrade to baseball, timed alongside the new MLB season, allows users to ask more detailed questions about career statistics and baseball history.
I had two immediate impressions when first picking up the iPhone SE. First, 'wow this feels small!'. Having gotten used to the iPhone 6 and 6s as the new normal, the SE really does feel like an iPhone mini when you first handle it.
I'm old enough to have used the very first mobile phones, which were ginormous. For many years, the primary goal of manufacturers as they introduced successive models was to make them smaller and smaller. Smaller was newer, sexier and more hi-tech.
Picking up the iPhone SE gave me that feeling all over again. It didn't feel like a step down, it actually felt like a step up. It was like 'wow, Apple has managed to fit (almost) all of that 6s tech into this much more pocketable phone.' And yes, this thing fits sideways into jeans pockets, and gives no sense of being at risk of falling out of other trouser pockets while cycling.
As part of Apple's Renew program, where the company is encouraging people to recycle their old devices to help the environment, Apple has posted some exclusive environmental wallpaper to download on its website. The URL (apple.com/thanks) is given out on cards in Apple Stores to people who recycle their old device in store, as a small gesture of appreciation.
Poll: Will you be buying the iPhone SE or 9.7-inch iPad Pro?
The new toys are official. The iPhone SE very nearly amounts to an iPhone 6 in an iPhone 5 casing, and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is effectively a smaller version of the 12.9-inch model.
While the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were Apple's response to a large part of its customer base who were waiting impatiently for larger-screened phones, there were others who found them too big – either awkward to handle, or just too large to fit comfortably into some pockets. Those people were left with the choice between a 4-inch phone with out-dated specs, or a high-spec phone that was larger than they wanted.

Sharon Osbourne, NBC Clash Over Alleged Firing of Son

NBC defended itself Monday against Sharon Osbourne's claim the network discriminated against her afflicted son in casting a new reality show. The "America's Got Talent" judge told the New York Post that she's quitting the show because NBC fired her son, Jack Osbourne, by email two days before he was to co-star on the reality show "Stars Earn Stripes."
Jack Osbourne, 26, was diagnosed recently with multiple sclerosis.
In a statement Monday, NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said the network "does not discriminate on any basis."
All potential contestants for "Stars Earn Stripes," which puts celebrities through arduous military-style exercises, had to undergo medical vetting, Greenblatt said. He cited medical privacy in declining to discuss Jack Osbourne specifically.
"Stars Earns Stripes," which debuts Aug. 13, requires "dangerous water stunts, strenuous physical activity, and uses live ammunition," Greenblatt said.
Jack Osbourne was offered two alternative roles on the show but declined both, said Greenblatt, who made an effort to smooth things over with the Osbourne clan, including patriarch-rocker Ozzy Osbourne.
"We have the deepest affection for Sharon Osbourne and consider her to be part of the NBC family," Greenblatt said. "And our hearts go out to her, Ozzy, Jack and his family at this time."
NBC declined further comment. Sharon Osbourne's publicist didn't respond to a request for comment.
A person close to the production said that, contrary to Sharon Osbourne's claim that Jack Osbourne was abruptly fired, NBC hadn't signed him to a contract and had tried to call Sharon Osbourne several weeks beforehand to discuss why her son wouldn't be on the show.
An email was sent after she didn't respond, said the person, who was not authorized to comment on the issue and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Sharon Osbourne had tweeted two weeks ago that she wanted to leave "America's Got Talent," but gave no explanation other than saying it wasn't an issue of money. She remains under contract with the talent contest, the summer's top-rated series.

Walmart Denies Lesbian Employee Spousal Health Coverage; GLAD Sues on Her Behalf
GLAD has filed a charge of discrimination against Walmart with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of Jacqueline Cote. Cote, a Walmart employee, was denied spousal health insurance for her wife, Diana Smithson, who is currently battling ovarian cancer. (The EEOC complaint can be read here.) That refusal, GLAD alleges, violates both state and federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in employment.
Cote works as an associate in the Swansea, MA Walmart store. Starting in 2006 and continuing through 2012, she attempted to add Smithson to her insurance during Walmart's open enrollment periods, trying to access a benefit available to other Walmart employees. Cote was particularly concerned about health insurance because of her wife's health history – Smithson had had a bout with breast cancer in 1995.
"I felt like a second class employee. I had to keep trying; I wouldn't give up." – Jacqueline Cote
But when Cote entered her spouse's gender as "female," the online system would stop her from proceeding further. When she called Walmart's home office to investigate further, she was told that Walmart did not offer health insurance coverage to same-sex spouses.
"All that Jackie wanted was to be treated like all other Walmart employees and to take care of her spouse. Instead, Walmart chose to discriminate against its gay and lesbian employees." – Janson Wu, senior staff attorney at GLAD
By the time Walmart ultimately announced that it would change its policy in 2013 (which went into effect on January 1, 2014), Cote and Smithson had racked up medical bills topping $100,000, been hounded by bill collectors, and lost many nights' sleep to worry.
Walmart is the world's largest public corporation, the biggest private employer in the world with over two million employees, the largest retailer in the world, and the largest private employer in the United States.
