to and Summary of the Case
Always Sunny in Philadelphia," is the longest-running sitcom series on
Television. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," is about five dysfunctional
alcoholic friends (the Gang) who own a bar called Paddy's Pub in Philadelphia,
together. The Gang includes Dee, Dennis, and Frank Reynolds, Charlie Kelly, and
Mac. The Gang challenges the social norms of society and the humor in the
series shows how the gang is selfish, unaware and oblivious, they are compared
to the outside world. Sometimes they care about the bar and other times they do
not care and get drunk. The Gang comes up with insane schemes and they use
Frank's money to make it happen. The
Gang has never hesitated to backstab each other if there is something to be

Reynolds is the owner of Patty's Pub and one of the bartenders. He is a
narcissus, control freak, and charming womanizer. Dennis is the most
Psychopathic of the gang. He has an extreme temper and will explode if he is
called out on it. He is the only one to graduate from an ivy league college
because of this he thinks he superior to the others in the Gang. Since he is a
control freak and narcissus he takes the position of the leader of the Gang. He
has an older twin sister, Dee.
known as Bird is one of the bartenders at the bar. She's a struggling actress
and comedian that does not have a chance of becoming famous. She has an intense
fear of crowds and cannot talk to them without wanting to throw up. Like, her
brother Dennis, she is manipulative and controlling, but she usually gets the
short end of the stick with the gang. She likes to consider herself one of the
guys. She is the only female that is a part of the Gang, so they constantly
make fun of her. She lives alone with her cat but then everyone starts moving
in her apartment without asking.
Reynolds is Dee and Dennis's father and possibly Charlie's biological father as
well (he had an affair with Charlie's mom). He is a new character that was
added in season 2. Frank is a successful businessman and his wealth allows the
gang to do whatever crazy shenanigans they would want to do it without having
to worry about money. Since the Gang did not want him hanging out at the bar,
he bought the bar from under the Gang to make sure he could hang out there. He
is a pervert, sleazy, and insane old man. He prefers having to live in poverty
with Charlie.
Kelly is the one who does all the janitorial work or "Charlie work," at the
bar. He suffers from deep psychological problems and in lives in poverty. He
has an anger problem and abuses substances, such as glue and sprays paint. He
is childish, lacks social skills, full of energy and enthusiasm. He studied
bird law and likes to use big lawyer words. He lives in a little run-down
apartment and sleeps on a pull-out couch surrounded by trash. He is obsessed
with the waitress a woman he does not have a chance with, cats, and cheese.
Compared to the others in the gang he is the most "kind-hearted." Charlie is
the wildcard in the gang.
is the "dumb muscle" of the bar. He is always trying to show off that he is a
"tough badass", even though he has no real physical skill. He is a
contradictory Christian and self-righteous, and ambiguously gay. He likes to do
things that imply he is gay, but he will deny it and say being gay is a sin.
The entire group knows he is gay but when they say it he plays dumb and acts
confused. He makes up stories to seem cool to the Gang because he is desperate
to be loved by everyone including his parents.
are many communication theories that can be applied to this TV series because
of the controversial topics that are included in each episode. This case study
will focus on the application of standpoint theory and social judgment theory
in the TV series. Both of these theories apply perfectly to the TV series.
There are many examples from this TV series that can analyze and interpreted by
these two theories.
Theory Summary and Application
Standpoint Theory
Hart stock and Sandra Hardy where the Pioneers the feminist standpoint Theory,
which we now know as just standpoint theory, because it does not only apply to
feminism anymore (Griffin, 2012). Standpoint theory originally comes from Marx
and is a postmodern method for analyzing inter-subjective discourses. The main
concept of standpoint theory is how being a member of a social group shapes what
individuals experience, know, feel, do, as well as how they understand social
life as a whole. Standpoint theory comes from critical reflection and
engagement in oppositional stance to the dominant one.
theory is not just a perspective but it is rooted in a person. Standpoint
theory happens in the recognition that unequal relations are responsible for
the margination or oppression of those groups are shaped by that inequality and
it critiques claims of commitment knowledge. Standpoint theory is a person's
attitude and viewpoint on a particular issue based on their experiences
everyone has different standpoint because we don't have the same experiences as
others. There are standpoints based on geographical location, race,
socioeconomic status, and gender differences (Littlejohn, Foss & Oetzel,
2017, pg.58)."
example, Dee is a woman who speaks bluntly and because of this, she is viewed
negativity by the Gang. Dee is clear and direct with the way she sends her
messages but because of social hierarchies and norms that expect women to be
quiet can prevent her message from being heard. When there is an issue that the
Gang needs to solve, Dee will voice her opinion and even though her idea might
be good the Gang tends to block her out or put her down just for a laugh. There
is even an episode that Dee becomes so depressed and gives up on her appearance
the rest of the gang gets worries. They start "listening" and "helping" her to
become a successful comedian. It gets to the point where she can even tell
jokes in front of crowds despite her fear and urge to throw up. A manager comes
up to her and offers her a job. She starts being the same old Dee again. This
is when the Gang reviles that the manager is just a paid actor to trick her.
She loses her self-confidence. She asks why they would do that? Pull such a big
prank and they say they just wanted her back to normal and now that she is they
could tell her the truth. They start laughing at her for thinking she could be
a famous comedian because women are not funny. Their standpoint is that woman
should be looked at and not heard. Dee's standpoint is that since she is a
woman that women can do anything they can put their minds too.
example is when the Gang decides to leave the bar for some different scenery at
the park and they instantly regret it. While they are there a football is
thrown in their direction and the guy who threw it says the Philadelphia Eagles
are having tryouts. Dee says she wants to try out and The Gang tells her she
cannot try out because she is a girl. She said well see about that. Dennis and
Mac show up to tryouts and Dee shows up dressed up like a man so she can try
out. She outperforms all the guys at the tryouts including Dennis and Mac.
Since she is doing so well, she decides to reveal she is a woman to everyone
who is left with the tryouts that she is a woman. She states that she is going
to kick the ball 60 yards to prove that woman can be just as good as men. When
she goes to punt she ends up breaking her foot. Mac and Dennis feel like that
proves they were right in their standpoint.
The Gang's standpoint is that women are weak and cannot play sports.
They believe that football is a man's sport. Dee's standpoint since she is a
woman is different from the Gang's. Her standpoint is that women are equal to
men in all aspects.
example of a standpoint based on race is in the first season in episode one.
The episode starts with Charlie, Mac, and Dennis in the bar counting their
profits from the bar from the night before. After counting everything they talk
about closing the bar because they cannot pay rent. Dee walks in and says that
her friend from theater class is coming to the bar and not to act strangely. As
Dee is debating with the guys if they are strange or not, her black friend
Terrell walks into the bar. The guys act surprises this black guy has walked in
and they tell him the bar is closed. Terrell tells them he knows and is
confused by the way Mac tells him, "we do not any trouble." The guys saw
Terrell as a threat and got fearful. Dee tells the guys that he is Terrell from
her acting class. They laugh and say sorry about what has just happened to
break any tension and from making it seem like they are racists. Dennis tries
to explain to Terrell why their behavior is acceptable.
Charlie and Dennis's standpoint caused them to react frightened and defensive
when they met Terrell. They perceived the world from their particular
standpoint based on their experiences. Dee views the world from a different
standpoint than the Gang. Therefore, she perceived the situation and the bar
differently and she did not see a problem with her friend's race. Here again,
we see how the gang's particular standpoint makes them act and communicate a
certain way. One might say they are
naive because their past experiences have caused them to judge others. This is
where the standpoint theorist idea about people of the dominant having a less
subjective view of the world. Privileged groups are not forced to observe the
realities of inferior groups; therefore, their standpoints are usually more
narrow and biased.
Social Judgment Theory
Sherif and his colleagues called the analysis of attitudes the social
judgment-involvement approach, but most scholars refer to it as social judgment
theory. The social judgment theory (SJT) is the perception and evaluation of an
idea by comparing it with current attitudes. Sherif says the SJT is, "a classic
in social psychology; it has had a long-term impact on the study of social
persuasion (Littlejohn, Foss & Oetzel, 2017, pg.58)." SJP started with
research that showed how context affects the assessment of physical objects.
Social perception is the way humans judge messages. Sherif says,"In
interactions with others, we rely on our international anchor or reference
points; these are based largely on previous experiences (Littlejohn, Foss &
Oetzel, 2017, pg.58)." There are three levels of SJT: 1. Latitude of
acceptance, 2. Latitude of rejection, and 3. Latitude of noncommitment. (Littlejohn,
Foss & Oetzel, 2017, pg.58-59)."
The first level of SJT is the latitude of
acceptance is the range of ideas that a person sees as reasonable or worthy of
consideration and "it's made up of the item you underlined and any others you
circled as acceptable (Griffin, 2012, pg.195)." Assimilation effect is if
something falls within the latitude of acceptance. Arguments are seen as more
persuasive and fall within the latitude of acceptance. An example of the
latitude of acceptance is in the episode where Charlie writes, The Day Man
Cometh, it is a musical that he wants the Gang to help him perform. The episode
starts with Charlie entering the bar all excited and singing and he tells the
Gang about the awesome musical he just wrote. The Gang is skeptical as to why
he would write a musical, so they start guessing the ulterior motive. Charlie
starts yelling at them saying they are wrong and he just did it to do it. Charlie uses persuasion to convince the Gang
to be in the musical. He states, if you guys do not want to be in it he can
give away their parts. This is when the Gang decides they want to be a part of
it. The anchor he uses is he knows that all of them like be the in the
spotlight and would want to do it knowing he wrote parts specifically for each
one of them. Before he says he will give away their parts the gang did not want
to be part of it and were determined to find out why he wrote it. Once he says
he says they have parts that is when They drop the subject and want to be in it
and Charlie has gotten what he wanted.
second level is called the latitude of rejection this is the range of ideas that
a person sees as unreasonable or objectionable (Littlejohn, Foss & Oetzel,
2017, pg.59).". This means that I am dealing with the previous statement. If a
message falls under the latitude of rejection, attitude change will be reduced
or nonexistent; "Contrast effect is if the message is distorted negativity and
perceived as the father from and less similar to your anchor position than it
actually is (Littlejohn, Foss & Oetzel, 2017, pg.59)." An example is when
Dee is singing a song and her interpretation of the song was different than
Charlie has written. Dee is expressing
her latitude of rejection by not wanting to sing the song because she finds its
unacceptable. Charlie tells her that is fine and the song is out and that is
when she asks what else will she sing and he tells her to turn to the back page
and it is blank. Charlie tells her its either sing the song or there is no song
and Dee is upset and says hey this is her only song. This is when you see
Charlie has persuaded Dee into doing the song. Charlie starts to express his
anger and ask, "was it dee who wrote a musical? No, it was Charlie." He gives
her three options either she does the song, the pianist will sing the song
because dee did not write it, or he will strap on a wig and sing the song
himself. Charlie asks, "Song or no
song?" Dee says, "Song, yeah song. I was
never not gonna sing the song. I would like to do it." After that, she takes
her place back on stage. He knows how bad Dee wants to be an actress but he
knows this is his musical.
effect happens if your position strengthens the discrepant message (Littlejohn,
Foss & Oetzel, 2017, pg.59).". An example in the same episode, Dee tries to
add a song to the play right before they perform. She tries to do it last
minute to get her way, but Charlie tells her he will slap her face into tiny
pieces. She said, "okay, no song." Earlier, we saw that Charlie needed to
convince her into doing the song but this time he does not need to use as much
persuasion to get Dee to let go of adding another song. Even though Dee has a
high ego most of the time, Charlie is able to convince her rather fast.
last level of a latitude is the latitude of non-commitment the range of ideas
that a person sees as neither acceptable nor objectionable (Littlejohn, Foss
& Oetzel, 2017, pg.59)." At the end of the play, Charlie comes out singing
a song that was not included in the script. Everyone is watching him to see
what is going on and that is when he asks the waitress to marry him. The
waitress gets up and starts to walk away. Charlie is stunned that his plan of
writing the musical just to persuade the waitress into falling in love with him
has failed. The musical is a metaphor for what Charlie would like to happen
between him and the waitress. He is the boy and Dayman and the waitress is the
princess in the story. The waitress does not find Charlie's idea making a
musical just for a marriage proposal as acceptable or unacceptable. She does
not have any feelings toward what has just happened, she just wants Charlie to
leave her alone. This time Charlie did not have a strong enough argument to
change the waitress latitude.
involvement is the sense of the personal relevance of an issue, demonstrated by
membership in a group with a stand. If a person has a high attitude relevance
of the topic they may feel passionate about it they have a high ego (Littlejohn,
Foss & Oetzel, 2017)." For example, this person would be Charlie since he
is so passionate about his musical. This
high ego would make it very difficult for them to persuade or doing the
opposite side. An example of this is when the Gang tries to make adjustments to
the musical and Charlie is not having it. If a person has a low attitude they
would have a low ego towards the topic at hand his means they are easy to
persuade to join your cause. An example of this is the rest of the Gang and how
at first, they were not interested in Charlie's musical but once he said they
had parts they jumped on board.
standpoint theory and SJT can be applied very well to this case. The TV series
relies on the main characters to show their thought processes through
communication. The two theories are closely related in the sense that they both
have to deal with the thought process people have. Standpoint theory is not
just a perspective but it is rooted in you. A person's standpoint regulates how
they will compose, analyze and relay messages. One of the limitations of using
this theory is it results in generalizations and stereotypes. All members of a
group are not the same because they can belong to more than one group. An
example is how Charlie is the one that stands out the most because he is purer
and kind compared to the others in the group. Even though he has been hanging
out with these people since he was in high school, he still has a different way
of thinking. Like one-day Dee offers to take Charlie out for a Spa day. Charlie
is so confused he thinks a spa day is short for spaghetti day. They are a part
of the same group but Dee came from a different social economical background
then Charlie.
The biggest strength of standpoint theory
is it has been good for grabbing the attention of communication behaviors of
different social groups, increasing our knowledge of human interaction. An
example is how a scientist sees how Charlie interacts at the bar and wants to
do a study on him and the rest of the Gang. Another example is the Gang grabbed
the attention of a toymaker and he is interested in mass producing a board game
they have created together. He wants to watch how they play the game because it
is so unusual. In this episode, you can see how different the Gang is compared
to other groups in society.
judgment theory is important because it says each audience member will perceive
a persuasive message differently from each other. How we respond to the
messages depends if the message falls in their anchor and latitude. There are
three levels of SJT: 1. Latitude of acceptance, 2. Latitude of rejection, and
3. Latitude of noncommitment. Contrast and boomerang effects what happen when
messages fall within the latitude of rejection. If a message falls under the
latitude of rejection, attitude change will be reduced or nonexistent (Littlejohn,
Foss & Oetzel, 2017, pg.58)."
strength of SJT is that it helps attitude changed on where a person holds a
position. An example of this each time someone in the Gang comes up with a bad
idea, they someone convince the rest of them to join in. Furthermore, this
theory does a good job in explaining the perception of messages that influence
persuasion. An example of this how the Gang is able to convince the waitress
and Cricket (secondary characters) into doing things for them that end up in
disaster for the two. Their social status declines after they get involved with
the Gang.
limitation of this theory is that it ignores message content. An example of
this is the episode where Charlie uses his mom to act like she has cancer in
order to make money for the bar. She does not approve of this idea at all but
since his argument is strong she ends up going along with the idea, even though
she feels really guilty about it. Another limitation ignores the effects of
source credibility, a factor that can change attitude. For example, Charlie
likes to say he studied bird law and he is the expert on the law just to appear
standpoint theory and social judgment theory work very well together to explain
how the Gang thinks because of past experiences and how they are able to change
each other's latitudes. These two theories can be used as a way to help a
person understand their personal perspective and what will cause them to change
them. We can see how the Gang has changed over the years and are more opened
minded but are still naïve. The Gang still has their own ways of thinking but
that makes for an interesting TV series.

Machine Learning: Parameter optimization for custom IIR filter
The Right Parameters
My research often tends to create prototypes with many parameters. The adjustment of those parameters can be time-consuming and, well, boring. For those occasions I always wanted to have an automation process, that would do that for me. That is why I created a JavaScript prototype for a
black box optimizer
, that is able to figure out good sets of parameters on its own. It needs no neural network or topology and needs only to know how good the parameters are (cost function). Below is a
to figure out coefficients (parameters) of an IIR filter (bi-quad low-pass) by measuring the difference in the time domain on processed random signals (cost function).
Let's Try 'Em All
The optimizer itself manages a collection of different
, which cover a big range of optimizing strategies. They focus differently on gradients, statistics, geometry or randomness. During the search for parameters, the optimizer picks one randomly and asks for proposals of parameters, that are evaluated by the
cost function
and given a
. This repeats until the
for the cost of one parameter set is met (success) or an maximum trials limit is reached (fail). During the process, the optimizer can adapt the chance of how likely an algorithm get picked and can so self-optimize its success.
Ants Knowledge
The algorithms are
(instead of state-less global functions) that are reused while searching and can memorize things on their own. But in addition, a list of evaluated parameter sets (of all algorithms) is stored in the optimizer: the
. Every time an algorithm is requested for proposals, it is passed this knowledge, eventually using it for creating proposals. The knowledge is inspired from the
ant colony optimization algorithm
. It helps to identify and mark promising paths in the parameter space and also allows to analyze multiple previous proposals.
Kill Your Darlings
The optimizer's
is not keeping all evaluated parameter sets. Every time the optimizer gets new parameter sets, it sorts them ascending by
least cost
and splits them by the
darlings range
. The first parameter sets inside the darlings range are hold infinitely. Everything outside the darlings range will be checked for their
and removed if the innovation value is lower than the
innovation keep threshold
. A parameter set's innovation value is assigned to
on creation and decreases (multiplied by the
innovation abrasion factor
) every time the optimizer gets new parameter sets.
Interestingly, in the prototype example it was even needed
to keep any result forever in the knowledge (the darlings range was 0). Without removing parameter sets (killing darlings) eventually, it was sometimes to hard escaping local optima fast enough.
Filter Design Prototype
The optimizer in the demo finds
(parameters) randomly chosen for a bi-quad low-pass filter. It creates a
and runs
, that are initial random configurations and parameter sets of the optimizer. If a trial is not successful after 10000 iterations (stuck in local optimum) it clears the old one and starts an new trial (different configuration and initials sets). If the cost is less than
the trial succeeds and the session is closed. Afterwards, a new session is started with new coefficients.
cost function
computes the cost by creating a random signal and processing it with the chosen and the proposal coefficients (parameter sets). The sum of the average and maximum difference of those signals equals the
The demo shows - besides numeric statistics about the ongoing and past sessions - the current progress of the optimizer. The left graphic is the parameter search space. It renders the chosen parameters, the best proposal parameters and the optimizer's knowledge. The right graphic is the history of the cost of the best proposals for all algorithms. (It actually also draws a history for each algorithm separately, but that is not important).
First: parameter search space - chosen(green), best(orange) and knowledge(purple).
Second: best cost history(white) and per algorithm cost histories(colored).
Optimizer Demo
Optimizer Demo
Live demo for bi-quad low-pass coefficients optimization
Although it has a lot of prototype overhead (naïve JavaScript, single-threaded and competing with the UI, wasteful memory management, etc.), it still looks quite
. The (computation and time) performance depends also on the perspective, it is not even close compared to the performance of calculating the coefficients directly, but still significantly faster than a human. Most of the time it needs approx. 1.1 trials in a session to solve the coefficients with ca. 2000 iterations for a succeeding trial. Since it can be run easily in multiple threads, it is probably a good candidate for evolutionary algorithms. By running multiple optimizers in parallel, the genes (knowledge) of different species (optimizers with different randomizations) can be shared to shorten the time to succeed. Most settings of the optimizer itself are setup by hand and could be optimized as well.

He told me where they were kept so I went there to root them out. As I was looking through all his papers - I came across a lovely little note card that my Mum had given to him (quite recently) (Mum has AZ). It made me smile and yes brought a little tear to my eye. Just nice to know that there is love there still - even though they keep it hidden. It must have been nice for my Dad to have received this card out of the blue. He doesn't say much, you never really know what his true thoughts and feelings are - but I guess it was the way of that generation - Mum's 78 and Dad's 80. I thought it was a poignant moment - after 60 years of marriage and this awful disease. TTFN x

Australian Supercross Championships Round One – Jimboomba
Americans take first blood as Australian SX season 2016 gets underway in Queensland
Words and images by Marc Jones
Anticipation had been growing from the social media storm that the news of the American import riders had brung to Australian Supercross 2016. Some of the world's best supercross riders taking on Australia's best was enough bring in the fans to the Jimboomba track, the international rivalry brewing anticipation amongst the crowd.
Off-season team changes including the rebirth of Yarrive Konsky's Penrite Honda squad now returning to the paddock and fielding a formidable international line-up spearheaded by former AMA Supercross factory rider Justin Brayton, last year's Pro Lites Champion Jimmy Decotis, former Pro Lites Champion Gavin Faith, and crowd favourite Adam Enticknap.
Former Under 19's Supercross champion and local rider Josh Cachia rounded out the star-sudded team. Faith and Cachia running under the Penrite Honda banner while Brayton, Enticknapp and Decotis are running Honda Genuine Racing signage.
Former AMA Lites Supercross champion Wil Hahn joined Kade Mosig at NPE Kawasaki, and was of course immediately considered a major threat.
Other noticeable returns included Hayden Mellross and Jackson Richardson returning from rides in USA.
Along with Mellross and Jackson, Last year's Australian Pro Open Champion Dan Reardon and newly crowned motocross champion Dean Ferris were perhaps the best Australian hopes to try and keep the Americans honest.
With minimal time between the motocross and supercross seasons some teams were caught perhaps a little underprepared in practice, top contenders scattered down the charts, but this seemed to be enough for most to dial in the bikes for the night ahead. Gavin Faith bounced back from a poor practice session to take out qualifying in Pro Lites. Teammate Jimmy Decotis would follow close behind leaving Wade Hunter to be the fastest local.
A stacked Pro Open class lived up to the hype, with only 1 second separating the top 10 riders. Returning once again to Australia, Kyle Peters put down the fastest lap followed by Justin Brayton. Dan Reardon was the best of the locals, leaving fans wanting more after an exhilarating qualifying session.
Heat racing was definitely heated; Faith and Cachia battled it down to the wire in the opening race. 'White Lightning' privateer Geran Stapleton turned heads returning from injury with minimal support for the series, and choosing to run white/black plastics on an otherwise unrecognisable Honda.
Heat two featured great racing between Mellross and Richardson, with Decotis struggling after a poor start and working his way around the traffic. Mellross held on to to take the win and showed that his riding time in the USA with motocross icon Tim Ferry has payed off.
The crowd was electrified as the flames rose from the start line and the gates dropped in the main event.
Like any race a clean start is key and Faith found his way to the front early to pick up where he left off in 2014. Slick conditions meant race incidents were a plenty, causing a series of yellow safety flags throughout the final.
Mellross continued on from his impressive heat race win and kept Faith honest, looking to make passes, as the race would draw to a close. Many valiant efforts by the young Australian were not enough to make the pass, leaving Faith to light the candles and take home the red plate.
Behind Mellross was teammates Wade Hunter and Jackson Richardson, claiming vital points in the short series. Privateer Geran Stapleton turned heads, showing he's a genuine threat for the series, and showed teams and sponsors what they may have missed out on. Cachia finished just outside of the top five, finding his feet once again after a hiatus from Supercross.
The talking point out of the race was Jimmy Decotis, who once again struggled to get the start he needed to set the pace in the final. Last year Decotis battled through traffic each round to almost most seal an undefeated year, but just didn't seem to have the same sprinting pace he displayed in 2015.
The top 12 all finished on the same lap as race winner Faith, with the American victor also carding the fastest lap of the race, a 50.745, Mellross' best was half-a-second slower with a 51.239 registered as the Yamaha rider's fastest lap in the main.
Gavin Faith on the win….
"It feels great to take the win. I pretty much had a perfect day being the fastest in qualifying, and then winning my heat race and transferring it to the main. It's awesome to be back on the 250, I feel really comfortable on the bike, and the whole Penrite Honda team has been putting in the work. I can't thank them enough. It's been awesome and a great way to start the championship."

SX1 Pro Open
The night's final event put the best Pro Open riders to the test, and questions were answered as the USA vs Australia debate came to blows.
It was import Justin Brayton that showed class and resilience to take the lead early and lay down 20 solid laps to take the chequered flag. Ferris kept Brayton on his toes as the track became slick, leaving riders on the cautious side.
There was no backing down for the leaders though, with lap traffic becoming an issue mid race. At times it seemed Ferris was setting up a pass, but the experience of Brayton kept him on two wheels, showing why he's been a firm choice as a factory rider in the USA for the last few years.
Brayton went on to take the chequered flag just three-seconds ahead of Ferris.
Reardon returned from midyear ACL surgery to attempt to defend championship, rounding out the podium after being hounded by Todd Waters in fourth.
Hahn and Mosig put their green machines behind Waters, having their own in house team battle throughout the race.
Former Champion and Australian legend Jay Marmont came out of retirement after a year off the professional scene to finish in 8th.
Justin Brayton on the win….
"I felt good tonight, especially with the timeframe we've had to deal with. I've only ridden the Honda for a week, but I'm just thankful for American, Genuine Honda and Australian Honda for making this all happen, and in all just a short time. This win definitely makes it worth it.
"There was definitely a lot of pressure on me tonight. Ferris rode really good too. I felt like there was a cap on the track on how hard you could ride, and I definitely went over that cap a few times tonight. I made a few mistakes, but as we all did. We all dealt with the same conditions. It was really fun though and great to come away with the win. I'm excited to get back to work and hopefully keep winning races."
Only six riders finished the race on the same lap as the American victor. Brayton also registered the fastest lap in the main, his 48.987 underlined his superiority over the field. Ferris' fastest lap was 50.583 while third placed Reardon actually carded a lap fractionally quicker that Ferris, a 50.560.
SX1 Final
- Justin Brayton
- Dean Ferris +3.612
- Daniel Reardon +11.866
- Todd Waters +12.218
- Wil Hahn +16.278
- Kade Mosig +19.885
- Luke Wilson +1 lap
- Jay Marmont +1 lap
- Jay Wilson +1 lap
- Adam Enticknap +2 laps
- Joel Newton +3 laps
- Barry Surawski +4 laps
- Boyd Hocking + 5 laps
The series remains in Queensland and moves to Toowoomba on October 14. Given the short break just experienced between the motocross series finale and the supercross season opener, this few weeks will be crucial for teams to test their equipment and dial in the bikes for the rest of the series.

Made our Wedding Perfect!!
We had our September 2018 wedding here and couldn't of been happier with choosing Brock House as our venue. Everyone you will work with here is a real professional - we had a great experience all the way from booking to planning to the day itself and the follow-up billing afterward.
Brock House had thought of tiny details I would never have thought of. The food was excellent and filling. There is a reason why this venue is one of the most popular in the City - and they live up to their reputation. We really appreciated how much Brock House 'comes with' - you don't have to worry about any rentals whatsoever. We brought in our own decor but beyond that had very little 'clean-up' to do at the end of the night. This was really important to us and I was surprised when venue shopping how difficult it was to find a venue with everything but still in an intimate setting (beyond hotel ballrooms etc.).
What really made the day was the on-site service manager, Leslie, without him I am sure our day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. Thank you Leslie, thank you Brock House!!Sent on 13/11/2018

Our wedding was more than perfect
The Brock House was perfect, the location is amazing! Right off Jericho beach with a view of the ocean and mountains in the background. Everything was set up for us and required minimal set up on our end! The food was very delicious, and table service was fast and efficient! With the Brock House you're able to customize the menu and they have options for all dietary requirements, I am vegan and my husband is gluten free and we were able to customize our menu to fit us perfectly! Everyone said it was the best food they've ever had! Very impressed! Our day was so perfect! The only thing I would say is that it can be expensive, the little things added up we had to change a few things last minute but it was worth it!Sent on 21/08/2018

Fabulous venue
When my husband and I first visit the venue we knew it was the one.Sent on 15/10/2019
We met with Melissa and she walked us through all the offers they had and help us understand what we wanted.
Melissa is friendly, helpful and very professional with a personal touch.
It was a pleasure organising our special day with Melissa who proved to be very reliable and supportive.
As I work in the industry I am very peaky and opinionated. Melissa was very responsive and accommodated every request to the best of her possibilities.
The venue itself is stunning, the food is absolutely phenomenal and the service very professional.
The whole team made our special day truly SPECIAL.

A heartfelt thank you to all of the Brock House catering team. From the multiple planning conversations with Kaitlyn and Hikari, through to the efficient and professional service and kitchen staff on our wedding day, we felt very well taken care of at this charming venue.Sent on 09/07/2017
Our guests had a lovely time, were delighted with the space (and gorgeous view!) available to us, and everyone complimented the food - everyone loved how fresh the food both looked and tasted.
We couldn't have been happier with our wedding at Brock House and highly recommend this venue for your wedding.
Justin Avellar · Married on 10 of August of 2019
Beautiful, Professional Venue
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful at Brock House. The location was incredible and the tent was amazing with the lights and chandeliers inside. The Brock House staff were extremely responsive and easy to work with. We made all of our plans with them over email and phone from the opposite side of the continent and it was no problem. The food was great--we got compliments from all the guests on how delicious it was (especially the dim sum bar). And the service from the staff--both the servers and bartenders--were great. There were no lineups for drinks and no one was left waiting for dishes to arrive at their tables.
We highly recommend this venue. The only thing we suggest you do is not book their DJ. Brock House says only one-or-two special DJs are allowed to use their sound system, but the DJ just set up their own speakers anyway. The DJ we used from Brock House, Xtreme Events, did not mic the event very well, brought bad speakers, and did not know the event timeline or music we wanted. Definitely just BYO DJ. But don't let that turn you off from the venue!
Just as an FYI, Brock House has a 1.5 hour set-up window. Most vendors you will talk to will know this and can work around this, but it is best to make sure your vendors are aware of this restriction and are comfortable working within it.
Brock House was an incredible venue and made our day the most special one of our lives. We couldn't imagine having it anywhere else!Sent on 14/08/2019

04 Oct This dietitian's pantry staples: Peaches
For those of you not old enough to remember, there was once a quirky band in the mid 1990s called The Presidents of the USA who sang, "If I had my little way, I'd eat peaches every day". Those wacky lads were certainly on to something. I, too, have a great love for peaches. And if I had my little way, I'd eat peaches every day too.
Peaches are coming back into season and they are beginning to reappear on greengrocers' shelves. Does this bring a smile to your dial as well?
Peaches are one of my pantry staples because not only are they delectable, they're also extremely nutritious. Peaches mostly contain water, but also contain a moderate amount of low GI carbs and fibre, plus a decent whack of vitamins A and C, potassium and small amounts of vitamins E, K, B3, B5 and folate.
Peaches make the perfect mid-afternoon snack and they are the perfect accompaniment to yoghurt or custard. Given their high water and fibre content they are a great filler. You certainly won't get fat if you choose to snack on a juicy peach between meals.
And if you choose to go for the tinned option, be careful to pick one in natural juice rather than in syrup.
This summer be sure to include peaches as part of your diet. The Presidents of the USA also said, "Millions of peaches, peaches for me". Perhaps a million peaches is a bit of a stretch, but certainly one a day gets my nod of approval.

Red Flag Remains In Effect For San Diego County Due To 'Extreme Fire' Conditions

Aired: October 31, 2019 | Transcript+ Subscribe to this podcast
A red flag warning advising of "extreme" fire weather conditions because of strong Santa Ana winds and very low humidity will last until 6 p.m. Thursday in San Diego County, according to the National Weather Service.
The warning was issued for the county mountains and valleys, where winds out of the east and northeast are expected to blow at between 20-30 mph and gusts could reach 50 mph, forecasters said. Relative humidity will drop as low as 5% by late this morning, with little or no recovery expected on Friday.
The strongest winds are expected this morning, then the winds will gradually diminish this afternoon, forecasters said.
The threat was deemed moderate Thursday, according to the Sana Ana Wildfire Threa
t Index, which means that "upon ignition, fires will grow rapidly and will be difficult to control."
A high wind warning will also be in effect until noon Thursday in the mountains and valleys. Officials warned that damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines, while travel will be especially difficult for high- profile vehicles.
High temperatures Thursday could reach 76 degrees near the coast and inland, 81 in the western valleys, 76 near the foothills, 69 in the mountains and 73 in the deserts.
San Diego Gas & Electric officials said the utility was considering precautionary power shutoffs for more than 40,000 customers. The shutoffs would be implemented to de-energize power lines in danger of being damaged or downed by strong winds, potentially sparking wildfires.
As of 6 p.m. Thursday, SDG&E said that there were two customers without power, down from 20,000 the day before. The utility said they are working to get power back up as weather conditions improve.
If power is shut off for an extended period of time, SDG&E may open community resource centers where residents can get water and snacks, charge their phones and get up-to-date information about the outages.
A full list of the center locations can be found here.
The San Diego County Office of Education announced that campuses in the Dehesa School District, Mountain Empire Unified School District, Rancho Santa Fe School District, Spencer Valley School District, Vallecitos School District, Valley-Center Pauma Unified School District and all schools in Julian would be closed today because of the power shutoffs.

Ever since the idea of online auctions came into existence, the online selling market has been on the rise. Many are interested, but don't know how to get started. There are still all kinds of ways to make money by selling online, whether you're selling what you already have or buying and selling like a store. Before we get started, here are a few general tips when selling anything online:
Swagbucks remains popular as they are a reliable site, offering novel ways to earn rewards, including playing games and watching videos. Completing polls and surveys for money takes around 10 minutes each and can make up the bulk of your time on the site. You won't always qualify, and getting to a late stage in a survey application process and then finding out you're not qualified can be pretty galling. The slickly designed website is straightforward and pleasing to use and also allows you to make money on your shopping by offering a range of affiliate links. By simply clicking on the Swagbucks link and shopping at sites including Amazon, Walmart and Nike, you will earn points, as those companies are paying Swagbucks to link to them, and you get a share of their fee.
If you've developed valuable skill sets or picked up certifications within your industry over the years, offering your consulting services to local business owners can be a lucrative way to make money online. Whether you're an expert marketer, business strategist, or manufacturing aficionado, there's likely a local business owner who's willing to pay you to help them solve an issue with their company. Start with this 18-step checklist to becoming a local business consultant from Karyn Greenstreet and then use my guide to crafting an effective cold email to convince them to hire you.
It's sometimes hard to comprehend just how much people love t-shirts. And with the right niche, marketing, and tools, you can create an online t-shirt business that makes you extra money online while you sleep. (Even Bloomberg and Forbes feature stories from entrepreneurs who've done just that.) Services like TeeSpring make it easier than ever to create a t-shirt drop-shipping business where they handle the sales, printing, and shipping, and you're only responsible for design and marketing. For more tips, check out this simple guide to launching and marketing an online clothing store by my friends over at Selz.
I joined Pointprizes from 5 months ago and this is the first time I get rewards from you. I feel this page is very interesting with many tasks. Although you inform that I will have to wait 30 days to receive the reward but only 10 days the money got into my Paypal , and it's free, I am very happy about this. But there are also many members complain that it is too hard to earn points from you, and they think you are a scam. I hope you will provide more easy tasks so that we can complete and earn your reward. I will continue to work with PointsPrizes . Thank you very much, with love !
Find a profitable niche. Starting with your interests, write down as many niche ideas as you can. Think about topics people might search online. Ideas include passions (like surfing or body building), fears (like spiders or speaking in front of crowds) and problems (like getting out of debt). Do keyword research to see it others are interested in the topic. Find out if a domain name is available that matches the keyword 100 percent. [7]
You can earn above average rates of return because peer-to-peer lending eliminates the bank function. That means that you participate in nearly the entire interest rate being paid by the borrower, rather than the less than 1% that you will typically earn on certificates of deposit. And you can reduce your risk by investing in slices of hundreds of different loans.
Research other listings in your city on AirBnB and see what the going rate is for a place like yours. You could also just rent out a private room as well or even a bed in a shared room. In fact, that's how AirBnB got its start. However, you might find it hard in the beginning without reviews, but as long as you take really good care of your guests and provide a lot of value, the reviews will eventually come rolling in.
This is a more technical way to make money online then most of the other strategies given. But you can get an excellent course on how to make it happen with Steve Chou's Create a Profitable Online Store program. Steve and his wife have built a highly successful online store – selling wedding napkins – and he's anxious to provide insider secrets to people who sign up for his course..
Join a startup accelerator: Another great option is to apply to a startup accelerator like Y Combinator, 500 startups, or TechStars, where a group of investors will help coach you, connect you with potential partners, and provide startup cash in return for a small stake in your company. The competition is tough to get into these, so don't rely on them as your only path forward.
Get samples. When you first start out as a freelance writer, it can be hard to get work without any published samples. However, it is possible to get quality samples if you are willing to do some writing for free. First, you can publish content on your own blog or website. Also, you can write guest posts for someone else's blog. Finally, you can write blog posts for free in exchange for a byline.[20]
A spin-off for web designers is to offer a landing page creation service. Well optimized landing pages can be the difference between a successful and a failing business. And, as creating the perfect landing page isn't easy, this is a service many businesses are prepared to pay for. I know people who are earning 6 figures per year and all they do is create landing pages for businesses. There's serious money to be made.
If longevity is a sign of quality, and let's face it in the world of business it usually is, then there's no doubt about Zoombucks deserving to be inside out 2018 paid survey sites top 20. This company has been carrying out paid survey panels since 1946, so just think how many consumers they've helped since then. Things have changed since the forties, so you won't have to sit in a draughty hall, you can answer all the surveys over the internet. There's lots of surveys to choose from as well, and they promise quick pay outs.
Gigwalk is a crowd-sourced service that helps businesses with various types of tasks that help them learn how they're doing. It's an app that pays people to do these task for them. Anyone can apply to be a Gigwalker. You download the app, view a map full of tasks in the neighborhood immediately around you and get to work. Tasks can include things like:
Prolific.ac ($120): Based in the UK, this is one of my favorites because they pay in Great British Pound (GBP) which is the equivalent to 1.4x the USD. Prolific is similar to mturk in that all you do is fill out surveys. Pay is better than mturk, but the availability of surveys is not as great. The initial questionnaire you have to fill out is a bit long taking me about 20 minutes, but ensures you qualify for every survey they show you and will never get disqualified for not meeting the demographic. You have to hit £5 before you can cash out, but you get this after a few days of watching for surveys. Leave it open in a tab and check it throughout the day. I wish I could do this one all day because the pay rocks, but I only see a few a day. They pay out in PayPal anytime you request it and have a balance of over £5. www.prolific.ac
Starting a blog has multiple benefits making it a worthwhile money making idea. You can use it to build out your portfolio to land higher quality positions. Or you could build it to earn money online. It's an asset. With a blog, especially a personal one, you could build up your brand to become an industry expert. And if you're thinking about how to make money from home, try blogging. As you become more popular, you can potentially land speaking opportunities, book deals and other cool gigs.
As you start regularly putting out content, you'll hopefully start to build a bit of an audience. But to start seeing real money from YouTube you need to market your videos elsewhere. Share your channel on Twitter and Facebook. Distribute videos anywhere else you can think of. Also, interact with comments and build a community around the videos you're making so people will share it with their friends.
Read the Privacy Policy. It is usually found at the bottom of a site's homepage. This is important: who will your information be shared with? Always look for a statement along the lines of: "Email addresses given to our company will never be sold, given away, or shared with any third parties without your consent." When you read those, think to yourself if there's anything in the language that would let them sell their mailing list.
Send relevant writing samples. If someone asks for an marketing writing sample, send them marketing writing samples. Don't send a finance article. Or a fitness one. It's hard for a hiring manager to know how well you understand the niche's industry if they can't see a relevant writing sample. Apply to opportunities suited to your skill set and experience. Also, if your pitch doesn't have a list of links to writing samples, it's going to get ignored.
Upwork: This website offers a great marketplace for selling just about any professional service. You don't need a merchant account, website of your own or anything else for that matter. All you need to do is be able to provide a high-quality service at a reasonable price. But be informed, you will have to compete with many others that are constantly bidding on open jobs.
If you've got experience and expertise in a specific area of business, there are hundreds if not thousands of business owners who would love to jump on a phone call and pick your brain. This can be an easy way to make extra money online and to hone your skills to use in your consulting or freelance business. Sites like Clarity.fm let you create a profile where entrepreneurs and business owners can pre-pay to book a phone call with you for a set amount of time. Whether you're an expert in raising money for startups, building apps, or running a restaurant, you can make extra money selling a few minutes of your time to people in need.
For millennials who have moved back home and are looking for careers or are working part-time, paid online surveys are a great tool for making money from home. A few weeks of responding to questionnaires can earn a considerable sum of Opinion Outpost points. That should be good enough to bring in a few extra dollars, but savvy survey respondents will wait even longer and use their earnings to help with their budget or other expenses. Referring a friend to Opinion Outpost is a great way to make even more bonus cash, and it's just as easy as taking surveys.
Summary: A real favourite, MySurvey is a popular panel allowing members to participate in market research surveys for money, covering topics like the media, tourism and products like electronics. It's easy to set up an account on the site and begin earning points, which vary between 10 and 500 per survey, but are typically around the 100 mark for an average survey which would take 15 minutes to fill out.
Something very important to note before signing up at any site claiming to pay you cash to take surveys is that all legitimate sites offering online surveys that pay do not charge registration fees – they are free to join. Some sites may even offer you bonus as you sign in, to show you they are happy you have become a part of their team and helping them increase their revenue.
If you're a skilled worker in a specific niche, like marketing, design, or software development, there are specialty marketplaces that cater just to you. These are amazing places to make money online as you know that the people visiting them are looking specifically for the skills you have. Check out places like 99Designs or Dribbble for designers, Cloudpeeps for marketing and SEO professionals, and TopTal, Crew, or Gigster for high-level software developers. Once you've built up your development skills, you can begin building a brand for yourself as a higher-value consultant and start charging brands for larger projects like implementing an entire WordPress security overhaul or migrating a website from http to https.
Being an online freelance writer is one type of skill that you can use to make money online. But there are a wide variety of other skills that can be used in a similar manner. Every website and blog on the Internet needs technical skills. This can include graphic design, web design, search engine optimization, social media marketing and promotion, content editing, and so much more.
Starting a blog has multiple benefits making it a worthwhile money making idea. You can use it to build out your portfolio to land higher quality positions. Or you could build it to earn money online. It's an asset. With a blog, especially a personal one, you could build up your brand to become an industry expert. And if you're thinking about how to make money from home, try blogging. As you become more popular, you can potentially land speaking opportunities, book deals and other cool gigs.
this is false. I started making $ with affiliate marketing from day ONE (yes, day ONE) putting up a website based on a theme (2h) finding a product related to my niche (a mix of what I'm interested in and what there is demand for, or is "hot" right now) and bringing in traffic the same day through things like Quora and Social Media. if u think hosting, putting up a website using a cms and writing / outsourcing content is hard, i think online business isnt for you. Your reply implies that you have to wait for traffic and that it has to be "organic", but you can begin bringing 100 web views a day within a week if you listen to your target market, pay attention to where people are now-a-days (idk, instagram, pinterest and other blogs maybe?). I was promoting affiliate offers for cryptocurrency. I stalked my target market and became very active on everything from stock twits to quora, discord chatrooms and platforms like alt pocket (straight adding value, helping people, etc) and I was getting 300 page views a day within a week with 2 hours of work a day... no ranked content, no backlinks no authority site... website <1week old. seems like you have some misconceptions of how marketing works. It's the digital age man, you can fucking sell something by the end of the day if you REALLY wanted.
The first follows the startup path we outlined above: You have a disruptive idea for an app or piece of software, you validate the idea with real customers, and then raise money to hire developers or a development studio to build, launch, and scale your software. If you've done everything right, your software will be accepted to the Apple and Google Stores and you'll make money every time someone downloads it or pays for a premium feature.
I was looking into being a Cam Girl but that's really not my thing unless I can be completely anonymous. I've looked into data entry jobs, those stupid (and obviously fake) survey things, but no luck. I can't make and sell things on etsy because I don't ever have enough money for materials, which aren't even guaranteed to sell. I don't have any talents I can use to make money and I'm not a fan of children so tutoring is not something I'd like to do.
Create a killer course experience: With your course validated and in the works, you need to figure out how people will take it. Most course creators choose to host their courses from their own websites. This way, they get all the value of bringing customers back to their site on a regular basis. I host my own courses from a subdomain on my own site so I can easily add more. The course experience is incredibly important as well. And after trying most of the solutions, I highly recommend Teachable—an online platform designed specifically for courses.
One of the easiest ways to make money online is to register for paid survey websites where you can earn money for taking surveys. You can also search online for "website testing jobs" and get paid to record yourself testing websites. If you want something that pays better, become an online tutor or start an online freelance writing business. For more tips from our reviewer, like what kind of items you can sell online to make money, keep reading!
For example, iStockPhoto.com, owned by Getty Images, requires you to apply to be a contributor. You can submit Photos, Illustrations, Video and Audio but you will need three samples of your work. If accepted, you'll be paid a 15% commission for each file downloaded and if you agree to be exclusive. If you make iStock your exclusive royalty-free agent, you can earn up to 45% with additional attention.
You know those top-down cooking or craft videos you just can't seem to get away from these days? There are people out there making a living from them. 78% of B2C companies depend on user-generated content, like those videos, for their marketing campaigns. You can sign up as a creator on a site like Darby Smart and potentially work with brands like Nordstrom, Mattel, and BarkBox. Or, use them to build your YouTube following and monetize through ads and views.
With active income, you're actively working to produce those wages. So if you work for someone else and you're earning a per-hourly fee or you have clients and you're working for yourself, you're still engaged in active-income employment. However, if something were to happen to your ability to work, for example, you would be unable to produce an income. This could be anything from an injury to an illness or disease, and everything in between, when you can't work, you can't earn.
29. Videos – This could be an entire section on it's own. Many people have made money by creating YouTube videos. Evan of EvanTube is a kid and he has made millions by creating reviews of products that other kids his age would use. It's not easy to get views into the millions, but once you do, you'll start seeing some cash come in. Many bloggers have completely turned to videos to get their point across by starting a video blog.
If you've got experience and expertise in a specific area of business, there are hundreds if not thousands of business owners who would love to jump on a phone call and pick your brain. This can be an easy way to make extra money online and to hone your skills to use in your consulting or freelance business.

Although it might seemed biased to put forth this assertion, the proof is truly in the pudding. Whereas virtually every other way you can earn money online will require some level of skill, more time or the like, paid online surveys consistently offer consumers an opportunity for completely autonomous and consistent participation. This means that there are no contracts, fillers or complexities to navigate, just simple, unadulterated activities that put extra cash in your pockets.

Paid survey site companies invest billions of dollars into marketing research online. They always want to find out more intricate details of a consumer's relationship with their product. Whether it's a new television show or just an existing product line, companies like Disney, Samsung, and Sony go to great lengths to find out their ideal audiences.
Hop onto the iPoll survey site, and you'll see a cheerful cartoon of a man walking his dog while thinking about products. Their boast is that thanks to its web, iPhone and Android platforms, you can complete surveys at home, in the office, at the beach, or on a walk. I put that to the test. This is one of the easiest to use survey sites on a mobile phone, and that's because the surveys offered are sharp and quick, and the site itself is easy to navigate and use, whatever platform you're using it on. This is a good choice for people whose online time is mainly spent on their cell phone.
The best part, as soon as you choose to cash out, you'll receive your rewards instantly online through your PayPal account or with gift card claims codes from online marketplaces. There's no comparison between receiving rewards electronically or via check, which is still the gold standard for most workplaces and even some other online pursuits. Instead of waiting a week or more to receive a check and deposit it into a bank account, you'll get your cash at a lightning-fast pace.
I'm not sitting here and telling you it's going to be easy though. It's going to be downright difficult. At times, you might kick and scream in frustration, wondering when it's ever going to happen. The difference between those that succeed with any type endeavor online and those that fail, are the ones that have cloud-nine dreams of lightning-fast internet riches. That might be because of all these supposed experts out there who tout these overnight systems, or it might just be our general desire for instant gratification.
Focus on the surveys and offers at the top of the list. Here's a tip not many people know. CashCrate has a special algorithm that automatically selects the best surveys and offers and places them at the top of the list. There are several factors that go into determining which are the "best", including payout, approval rate, and a variety of other factors. But all you need to know is that these surveys and offers are great, so you can do them in confidence!
OneOpinion. This site is a survey aggregator with an effective screening process. Its dashboard is informative and displays helpful sections, such as your activity and a customer support form. The site was above average at picking surveys we qualified for. As for the points awarded per survey, 500 or 1,000 points may look high at first, but when converted to actual rewards, you'd get 50 cents or a dollar. Also, you can't cash out until you reach 25,000 points, equivalent to $25. Read more in our OneOpinion review.

My style is called Split Realism and combines elements such as realistic faces, landscapes, found objects or graphic elements. I contrast these with each other, developing a different context to the work. My images tell stories with their layers of elements, creating its very own narrative. The hundreds of objects in my studio capture the "voice" of the work. Drawn in by the depth and richness, the compositions are woven together producing art that is tapestry-like in its richness.

We cannot use the same cost function that we use for linear regression because the Logistic Function will cause the output to be wavy, causing many local optima. In other words, it will be a non-convex function.
Logistic Regression Cost Function:
We can compress our cost function's two conditional cases into one case:
Cost(hθ(x), y) = -ylog(hθ(x)) - (1-y)log(1-hθ(x))
How to use:
Now we will approach the classification of data when we have more than two categories. Instead of y = {0,1} we will expand our definition so that y = {0,1…n}.

Congressman Higgins Announces $700,000 in Recovery Act Funding for WNY Passport Office
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-27) announced that Western New York will receive $700,000 in Recovery Act funding to support the opening of a regional passport agency in Western New York. Congressman Higgins and Congressman Chris Lee (NY-26) first advocated for a WNY passport office in a letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on March 26th. Just days ago, standing near the Peace Bridge, Reps. Higgins and Lee announced the State Department has agreed with their request and will begin the process of establishing a passport agency locally.
"Last week we had a verbal commitment to establish a passport agency in the Western New York region and today we have a financial commitment to see this project through," said Higgins. "Congressman Lee and I both recognize a seamless flow of cross-border traffic is important to the Western New York economy and I am pleased to work with him to make this happen for local residents."
The Peace Bridge is the busiest passenger crossing between the US and Canada. Beginning on June 1, 2009, travelers crossing local bridges along the northern border will be required to show a passport or other certified document providing identification and proof of citizenship.
There are only 14 passport agencies located within the continental U.S. It currently takes 4 to 6 weeks to receive your passport after an application is submitted. Passport agencies can serve residents who have lost or not yet received their passport and have plans to leave the country in less than two weeks or those in need of obtaining their foreign visa in less than four weeks.
