My main focus for this corset was opulent embellishment with the inspiration of 'touch' from the Five Senses. I used a slightly modified version of the 'Sanakor' pattern as the starting point for this corset – this was the first piece I'd ever used another person's pattern for, as well as my first experimentation with using lapped seams as bone channels. I used a fine weave grey coutil as the corset's base, to lend some historical accuracy to this otherwise frivolous corset.
The embellishment is a deliberate clash of textures, eras and colours. Of the two laces used for appliqué, one is a handmade Victorian silk lace, cut from a mantilla, using the original pattern to dictate its near symmetrical placement. The other lace is an ivory contemporary Leavers lace from Sophie Hallette – of a much finer and delicate texture, with its soft eyelash finishing trimming the bust line. The obviously contrasting monochromatic colour palette makes these differences that much clearer. A contemporary Leavers lace in cotton is used to tie the bust closed, sourced from the last remaining English Leavers lace manufacturer.
Ethically sourced scraps of rabbit fur were appliquéd onto the high and low hips to add a softness and greater emphasis to the corset's silhouette. Surrounding the areas of fur, Czech bicone crystal beads were tightly clustered to offer a harsh contrast in texture – ultra soft through to jagged and sharp. A mix of jet black and mirror finished crystals also offer a contrast in light, giving a dazzling and sharp sparkle as opposed to the fur's silky soft reflections.
Swarovski flatback crystals in clear and jet are scattered throughout the corset, giving emphasis to the patterns of the lace. Large Swarovski crystals are also handsewn onto the ivory lace for added sparkle and a jagged surface texture, whilst potato and seed freshwater are scattered to offer a contrasting softness and smoothness in feel. The corset is finished with pale grey flossing on the back bones, with binding hand finished on the inside for a seamless exterior finish.
I learned a lot from this this piece – it was the first corset I'd created since graduating from university, and only the second such garment that hadn't been created for a marked assignment. It was a personal challenge in using limited resources with very limited time (created to bring to the Oxford Conference of Corsetry in August 2014, after having previously decided that I simply didn't have enough time to sew a corset in between finishing university and attending the event!). It was also the first time I hadn't used my bra and knicker shapes as the starting point for the corset's shaping, giving me new ideas for pattern cutting. Looking at the garment now, I can see a lot of areas that I could now improve on, but I can also see a lot of areas that were a great learning curve for my approach to corsetry.

Another week of this crazy campaign unfolds.

"It depends on your definition of terrorism," Cuomo said. "A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism, but it's not linked to international terrorism."
I am having a lot of trouble even parsing this.
It's like they want to give Trump ammo.
I have no hypotheses. Crazed Arab teen? White supremicist? Russian operatives? Paranoid schizophrenic?
Bomb Explosion Shocks Manhattan Neighborhood to Its Core
This is a chilling thought:
The location of the bombing was odd, she said, because it wasn't in a tourist hot spot.
"This feels like a test run," she said of the attack.
"These pressure cooker bombs are terrorism, and it does not matter whether it's home-grown terrorism or foreign terrorism. It's terrorism, Mr. De Blasio."
I don't doubt that some remarks by public officials and news reporting are done with the intent to shape public opinion. You don't want to stoke fear, but you should be as honest as possible in reporting what happened.
Suspect wanted for questioning in NYC attack:
The man has been identified as Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, a naturalised US citizen from Afghanistan.
Both my kids work a few blocks from where the explosion occurred.
Local news says the authorities are looking for a man named Khan Rhahami, and that the bombs were placed by a team of three men, plus they apprehended five on the Verrazano.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that it was not the work of a lone wolf Lutheran protesting Hillary.
No hypotheses? How about Islamic jihadist radicalized online? It's not too hard to connect the dots. And Chelsea is a trendy hipster location. It's not a mall in the Midwest. Where another Islamic jihadist struck, though police are not sure of his motivation.
It looks like it might be connected to other explosive devices found last night in New Jersey.
The guy in the mall in MN, and these guys are all the same. They want to kill and scare Americans. I
I was watching an old Law and Order episode this weekend from the 90s. It was 20 people killed in a subway by some nut. It was a crossover episode with Homicide. It's so interesting to see how different the show is vs. the shows that were post 2001.
I would much rather have the crime and regular scary criminals from my childhood in NYC than the terrorism of today.
My phone went off with high pitched alerts several times just now, tellling me to be on the lookout for this guy.
Why don't we simply call it what it is? Why dance around words and dissemble?
Also, they are active in some of the biggest democracies in the world, USA, France, India and so on.
My first thought is always that it was an Islamic jihad attack. Initial media or official suggestions that it was a workplace dispute (San Bernardino) or a tea partier (Boston) or an anti-gay hater (Orlando) are almost always wrong.
Isn't there a strong potential connection between Islamic jihad attack and anti-gay hating, i.e., isn't Islam, at least as it is often practiced, a religion that espouses anti-gay hating?
Islam condemns homosexuals to death. It's not an issue of nuance. But it also condemns heretics and blasphemers and formicators and immodest women to death as well. Islam is very inclusive that way.
Kerri – thank you for sharing that
I have great compassion for the millions of peaceful Muslims who are watching their fellow Muslims DAILY kill innocent victims around the globe in the name of Islam.
But it is important to acknowledge the truth, which is that that these terrorists are not twisting the peaceful teachings of the Quran and the Hadith, but rather following them. And, when one hears of an explosion in Chelsea or a man stabbing people at a shopping mall, it's not unreasonable to think that the perpetrators were Islamic jihadists instead of white supremacists or Puerto Rican nationalists. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably not a swan.
And it is also not impossible to believe that most Muslims are peaceful people while also understanding that Islam is NOT a religion of peace.
In fact, it is very impressive that so many Muslims have been able to disregard the violence and hatred embedded in Islam and to focus instead on doing good in the world.
More deplorable every day.
First the gas chamber comment. Now this. http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a48728/donald-trump-jr-just-compared-syrian-refugees-to-poisoned-skittles/
They suck.
Eh, it's a metaphor. And he said three Skittles out of a bowl, not half.
Kate, I agree with you. I read a compilation of Trump's racist history going back to his penalties for refusing to rent to blacks, accusations that he made all the black casino workers leave the floor when he came in, and on and on through present day. And then the police shooting in Tulsa, where I have a lot of ties. It is depressing me to an extent I am unable to shake off. I don't see a near-term solution to this divisiveness, and a long-term resolution just feels like wishful thinking.
The Tulsa thing is so terrible. I am glad things are recorded now.
The Tulsa video makes no sense. It starts in the middle of the confrontation, not the beginning, and it's impossible to tell exactly what happened in the moments leading to the taser and shooting. And because the victim is dead, we aren't going to get his side of the story. You have to assume that the cops know that cameras are running and of the repercussions for an unwarranted shooting and that the motorist knew that ignoring police commands might not end well. So why didn't he comply with their orders and why didn't the police manage to subdue an unarmed man without killing him? It seems that the entire tragedy could have been easily avoided by all parties.
And does every report of a stalled car trigger multiple responders speeding to the scene?
Scarlett, she just happened to drive by where his car had stalled, and then she called for backup. Whether he was complying with whatever orders they were giving him will be a matter for the person that gets to tell the story. It is clear that his hands were up and visible, and did not contain a weapon, and he was not making any motion towards the officers. But this was not a shooting in the pursuit of a criminal – this was a guy with car trouble. As you said, there absolutely should have been a different ending. I don't think there is any narrative that can be attached to that video that would make people think shooting that man was the right course of action. And I will admit that I have absolute bias in favor of Tulsa police, through various personal connections and personal experience.
""But if the media keeps recording everything I say, word for word, and then playing it back so that everyone in the country hears exactly what I said, I would consider that very, very unfair." -Trump, August 2016
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Never mind, that was a satire. But so believable
This, however, is not satire
MM – and here is what he bought with other people's money https://mobile.twitter.com/DanEggenWPost/status/778245233779806212
I used to think that he wouldn't release his tax records because it would show he didn't make nearly as much as he claims. But now I think it is because everyone will be going through them and be able to figure out his shadiness. Can you imagine how shady his for profit stuff must be if this is how he handles his non-profit stuff?
MBT, I watched the two videos several times and neither provides a good view of what the guy was doing before he was shot. Also he was walking in a strange manner, as though disoriented by alcohol or drugs or a medical issue. And one account stated that when the first cop arrived, the car was stopped on the wrong side of the road with the engine running, the door or doors open and no driver. So it does not seem like an ordinary guy with car trouble, at least based on what has been revealed so far. And why none of the officers moved to assist the victim bleeding on the ground is another mystery. Even the reaction of the guys in the helo was bizarre. Oh he's been shot, we need to close off this road.
I, too, love Seth. The stage falling apart was hysterical. As was Chris Christie. At least we will have some really great late night tv for the next 4 years.
I know some people think Trump isn't a racist, but isn't his birther conspiracy racist?
Of course it is racist. But facts don't matter and you will never, ever convince a Trump supporter that (1) it is racist, and (2) supporting a racist makes you a racist.
Sid Blumenthal, Kate. Look up Sid Blumenthal.
Yeah, he seems like a total sleeze.
Definitely. And pursuing the rumors that Trump later fanned the flames on. Working for Hillary's unsuccessful campaign, and with her obvious approval, since she tried to bring him along to the State Department, only to have that nixed by Obama, after which she hired him at Clinton Foundation.
So the accusations of racism go to both sides.
Hmm, it appears to me that this is a situation where it is the word of a seemingly pro-Trump reporter against the word of a definitely pro-Clinton friend. Clearly, Sid Blumenthal was encouraging this reporter to check out Obama's ties to Kenya – but would have been normal in a primary campaign like that one (campaigns always look for dirt on the other candidate), and doesn't mean he was hinting that Obama might have been born there. The reporter says, yes, he did say that, but Blumenthal says no, and there is no proof one way or another, at least for now.
and it is a long jump from digging around in Kenya for possible family dirt (and coming up with nothing, incidentally) and loudly demanding, as the centerpiece of your public persona, that the President show his birth certificate.
If Hillary actually pushed the birther story, I wouldn't vote for her.
Mooshi – They just did it more secretively. I'm not sure that's something to brag about.
It was also Hillary who distributed the photo of Obama in the traditional African garb.
"If Hillary actually pushed the birther story, I wouldn't vote for her."
Get real. Yes you would.
No. I really wouldn't.
So you think Obama was wrong when he said that Hillary's campaign circulated the photograph?
I do. She said at the time that the campaign didn't sanction it. That is very different from Trump personally repeating over and over that Obama was not born in the US. Trump uses it to gain supporters. I have never, ever heard Hillary do the same. If you have documentation of her doing this, I would not vote for her.
"She said at the time that the campaign didn't sanction it."
Oh, well that's a relief to hear.
I don't get how you don't see a huge difference. Critics of Hillary say that she did this (supported birther theory). There is not really any proof that she did and she has consistently said that it isn't true. Trump has said over and over that he had doubts. Over and over for years. And years. Energized his base by doing this. Got more supporters by doing this. At no time did Hillary ever push this theory. And he has tons of times. You are a smart guy. You must understand the false equivalency you are making.
I'm not endorsing either of them for doing it. I am saying that Hillary was fine with a healthy dose of subtle racism when it suited her campaign, and she's never apologized, so for you to accuse every Trump supporter of being racist is hypocritical at best.
Wait, how do you know "they did it more secretively". There doesn't appear to be any proof that the reporter was sent to specifically check out Obama's birthplace. We have only his claim, and the independently verified fact that they were digging for dirt generally, which is something all campaigns do. I bet people were digging for dirt in Hawaii too. Were you there when Blumenthal spoke with the reporter?
No. There is no evidence that Hillary did anything.
There's evidence, but of course she denies it. What else is new? I'm sure you believe her.
Where? Where is the evidence that Hillary did it or told someone to do it?
Asher's statements.
But Asher admits he has no proof, no record. And as a guy who tweets under pro-Trump hashtags, I suspect there may be some bias at work
Can I admit that I have never heard of McClatchly before? What is it?
He just said that shady Blumenthal said that. Nothing about Hillary. I believe he might have come some of what has been said. But there is nothing to suggest that Hillary knew or was involved.
MM – publishing co.
So someone who'd been a close adviser to the Clintons for decades is doing this entirely on his own, she has given no approval of it, has no knowledge of it, and he does this digging for dirt in Kenya and trying to tip off journalists of whatever African dirt he can find on Obama, and even if you believe that he was working entirely on his own, she obviously did not disapprove since she hired him to the Clinton Foundation.
But yeah, if you want to say that she kept her hands clean on this one, you can convince yourself of it, I'm sure.
Yes, when faced with a known racist who has pushed this theory for years and energized his base with the story v someone who has denied it all along, has not used the story to gain voters and there exists no actual proof of this happening, I will pick her. This false equivalency stuff is tiring.
Kate – If Wikileaks shows a definite connection, are you voting for Stein or Johnson? :)
Probably Johnson because he climbed the mountain. God I am so scared about Wiki.
"God I am so scared about Wiki."
He's surely saving the best for last, and it could be huge, or it could be only slightly juicier than Colin Powell insulting everybody, and it won't make a difference.
Trump is up again, ever so slightly in 538 forecast to about 44% chance of winning, but it also seems like some very recent polls have his ascent stalled once again. There are so many different ways to look at it. It could be a Brexit where he has all the unseen enthusiasm and actual turnout. Or it could just be a case where this is as far as he gets, after some really bad times for Hillary, and he never actually pulls ahead ever and then loses.
Nobody knows, and people are going nuts over it.
You cannot make this stuff up http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37421886?ocid=socialflow_twitter
I read that for 45 seconds, and I'm lost at who said what to whom, who's a refugee. That's getting too far.
I would say that a sizeable, if mostly silent, majority of Americans would like the Skittles analogy, especially after this past weekend. It's the kind of thing that the media should be careful about giving too much attention to. Anyone who's outraged is already voting for Clinton.
The guy who took the photo of the skittles is a refugee. Donny Jr stole the photo. What are the odds that DJ steals from a refugee for THIS tweet?
Changing topics back to the Tulsa shooting. I have been thinking about Scarlett's statement regarding the video and the police knowing that they are being taped. Have there been officers convicted after unwarranted shootings? I haven't found any. Also, I read that the officer who shot him didn't turn her camera on. It is activated automatically by turning on the siren/lights (which wasn't done) or manually (which she didn't do). Not sure if that has been confirmed.
And I find it super disturbing that they didn't try to help him for so long after she shot him. Isn't that standard? The goal shouldn't be to have him die, even if it is a warranted shooting.
The North Charleston shooting had to end in a conviction or plea deal (or maybe it's still in progress), but that was the worst one I've seen on camera.
My kids are watching a Simpsons from almost 20 years ago that looked into the future when Lisa was President. She makes a reference to the previous Trump administration.
At this rate, I will be very scared if I my car breaks down or am stopped by the police at any point. That one time we were driving at night and had unknowingly passed a cop car while not speeding. Though the cop did not ticket us, he seemed really crazy and had been angry about us passing him.
Scarlett's older relatives are in here somewhere:
Yes, somewhere in that basket of deplorables.
He literally pees out his window. Nice.
Maybe he's trying to conserve water.
Amen, RMS.
Out of Mass – http://www.wbur.org/news/2016/09/20/mass-high-court-black-men-may-have-legitimate-reason-to-flee-police
I read a comment somewhere that with 200 million the "self-made businessman" Trump inherited, had he invested it all in stock market he would have been way richer than he claims to be now. I wonder if that is true? Anyone?
What a creep!! That works?? People find photos of him in his boxers plus creepy messages to be sexy? I just don't understand.
Weiner is totally out of control and needs to be locked up. What a creep.
Excerpt from NY Times comment on the election that I like
People who are well-intended make the (very human) mistake of scaling their social and emotional reactions to the system level too quickly, so we end up with large centralized behemoths like Obamacare and Common Core that don't really work but are all about the rightness of people's original intentions.
We see an increased desire from liberals to submit to presidential edicts (on amnesty, patching Obamacare, negotiating treaties abroad without the Congress) without constitutional authority. Likewise, we see tolerance for lawlessness like sanctuary cities and (too often) romancing civil disorder, even if the ends might be just.
This is again because politics is merely a system of social cues for many, hence checks and balances don't inhere. Public order and equal enforcement of the Law is the dull concern of the bourgeois, not the socially astute.

Testing any kind of software is difficult. The programmer is faced with a multitude of choices and trade-offs: what components to test and in what scenarios, how much time to spend writing test cases vs. developing new features, and so on. No matter how hard, many acknowledge that testing is paramount to producing a quality product. So important, in fact, that companies like Microsoft make software testing a full-time position.
And if testing most software is hard, testing statistical software is even harder. For most of my programming career I hardly had to deal with statistics and "big data" problems. As a result, when I embarked upon my first significant statistical project a year ago, it proved to be a major source of frustration. In this post I hope to share my experiences with testing statistical code. I will start by describing my initial sources of difficulty stemming from the differences between statistical and non-statistical programs. I will then present a number of testing guidelines which I have found to be particularly effective, and which avoid some of the pitfalls I would initially get myself into.
The initial discussion and guidelines are primarily about probabilistic software, which is just a subset of the possible statistical programs you could write. However, later sections deal with statistical software in more generality.
How Many Outcomes?!
Testing non-statistical software components often involves executing some action which can result in some fixed number of outcomes, and then verifying that the actual outcome is what we expected. For example, one might write the following code in Java:
Set<String> hat = new HashSet<String>(); hat.add("rabbit"); Assert.assertTrue(hat.contains("rabbit"));
In the above case, there are two possible outcomes of an "insert" operation: either the set contains the added element, or not. Having inserted an element into the set, we check whether the outcome is what we want it to be. Of course, in real programs tests are more complicated and often involve a significantly larger number of possible outcomes. However, the outcomes still usually form a set of a manageable size.
Statistical code differs in two significant ways:
- there are several orders of magnitude more possible outcomes of an operation
- it is often not obvious which outcomes are correct
I will try to illustrate the impact of the two points above on an example. Consider a Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) – arguably one of the simplest statistical tools. An MLE counts the occurences of an element in a sequence of observations , and uses that to estimate the probability of that element. For example, if you observe three dogs and two cats, then an MLE would estimate the probability of each as 0.6 and 0.4, respectively. Notice how the outcome of an MLE is a number – a number that we cannot conveniently restrict to a small set of possible values. Not even in the range 0-1, since we cannot make correctness assumptions about the very thing we are testing. It can be said that despite the large number of possible outcomes, it is straightforward to say which are correct. That is often not the case, however, as the dataset might be too large or the model too complex to manually estimate probabilities. And even in cases when such manual estimation is possible, it is all to easy to make mistakes.
To make matters worse, the naive MLE is an oversimplified example. Consider only a slightly more sophisticated estimator, called an Absolute Discounting Estimator (ADE). An ADE subtracts a (small) probability mass from seen events, and distributes it across unseen events. This process of transferring probability mass, so called "smoothing", is of paramount importance in applications such as spam classification and statistical Natural Language Processing. Let's first define an ADE mathematically: let be the sequence of observations, where each observation belongs to a set of possible events, and let be a constant which controls the amount of smoothing. An ADE is then defined as:
While only slightly more complicated than an MLE, testing the ADE on large datasets can be a nightmare if you simply compare hard-coded estimates. You have to test that the ADE behaves correctly for different values of , and possibly on different datasets. It would be a Herculean task to manually compute all those probabilities, and then test the ADE against these estimates. That's what I used to do as a beginner, and calling my experiences frustrating would be an understatement.
Obey Probability, It's The Law!
Luckily, when it comes to probability, there are a few simple guidelines that make testing much easier. They might sound obvious to many, but the obvious sometimes needs pointing out, especially if our mindset is from another, non-statistical domain.
A great thing about probability is its extensive mathematical foundation, and the fact that it obeys several rather simple laws. Instead of testing the returned values directly, test that your components behave properly with respect to the laws of probability. No matter how complicated your model, or how large the test dataset, these laws should always hold. Always. Some of the laws I have found particularly useful are outlined below.
Stay positive
Make sure that every probability produced by your code is non-negative. While this may sound trivial, in many cases it is not. Consider the ADE formula I showed earlier – it has a flaw that might not be immediately obvious. Namely, if , we will get negative probabilities for infrequent elements! This problem might be extremely hard to track down in production, since the wrong answer produced by an ADE will usually be propagated through a long chain of other mathematical operations.
Be normal(ized)
If your code defines a discrete probability distribution, as in the case of a classifier, make sure that the probabilities of all events add up to one. Since this test requires your code to produce probabilities for all possible arguments, it has a good chance of detecting miscalculations for any single one.
Know your maginals
I have found marginalization to be extremely useful for testing classifiers, and it applies to other kinds of programs, too. It relies on the formula:
In many cases, you know the value of (for example, it might be your prior), and you know how to compute with the component you are testing. And even if you do not know , you can often compute it using conditional probabilities:
Similarly to normalization, marginal probabilities require you to compute probabilities for all possible values of an argument, and are good at catching any single miscalculation. They also have another advantage: you only have to sum over the possible values for one argument, which is computationally cheaper than summing over possible values for all arguments, as would be required by normalization.
Of course, the above list of probability laws is by no means exhaustive, and it is always a good idea to open a probability textbook and search for formulas that apply directly to your problem. For example, there is a large body of theory behind Markov Chains, and if Markov Chains is what you are testing, the relevant formulas will probably be better at testing your code than the general laws outlined above. No matter what laws you end up using in your code, however, the message is the same: try to avoid testing exact values if possible, as they are too parameter-dependent and too hard to correctly calculate manually – and use probability laws instead.
All Your Baseline Are Belong To Us
A good way to test any statistical software is to compare its performance against some reasonable baseline. For example, suppose you are developing a very sophisticated reinforcement learning system, and initial tests show great performance. The problem is that "great" is relative, and you never truly know how good your method is until you compare it to something else. Last week I was working with my CSAIL collegues on a paper for a large Machine Learning conference. We devised a clever method to apply Multi-armed Bandit techniques to online multi-objective tuning of computer programs. We gathered a lot of data, did statistical analysis and then plotted the average performance of a benchmark program as a function of time (lower is better):
We were excited since our approach seemed to converge very fast, and reduced the runtime of the benchmark by a significant amount. However, we then compared the performance of our method to a naive, "uniform random" baseline. Here is what we saw:
Uniform random clearly outperformed our method, regardless of how good the results initially looked. This allowed us to discover a major problem with our methodology – we did not correctly optimize hyperparameters. It also emphasized how important and useful it is to test your code against a baseline. Not only will it show how well your code performs, but also whether it performs worse than you expect it to. If it does perform worse, it might indicate a serious bug, as it did in our case.
You might argue that baseline testing is not really useful as a unit test, since it involves looking at plots and making inferences about behavior, but that is not necessarily true. There are many ways you can programmatically compare the performance of one method against another, such as Student's t-test. It was in fact a t-test analysis of our benchmark data that allowed us to conclude that our buggy program was no better than a naive approach.
It's All Magic!
My final point is not so much about writing unit tests, but about designing for testability. A few years ago, before I took any formal courses in probability and statistics, I would often use "magic", ad-hoc scores for various things to indicate, for example the "likelihood" that candidate is better than candidate . While in many cases using such ad-hoc scores can seem straightforward and their use tempting, they are a nightmare to test. This is due to the fact that there is usually no sound theory to support them, and if you want to evaluate their performance and/or test them you cannot rely on any laws or tried analysis tools. Because of this, try to resist the temptation to use magic scores and other such metrics, no matter how straightforward to implement they are. More often than not, as I learned all too well, they will only lead to problems later on. Whenever possible, try to re-formulate your problem in terms of probabilities and other well-founded metrics. I wish somebody had said this to a younger me – how many hours of frustration it would have saved!
Go Forth and Estimate
That's it, folks. In this article I tried to describe why, in my opinion, statistical software is much harder to test compared to "ordinary", non-statistical programs. I argued that it was due to the sheer number of possible outcomes that statistical components can produce, and it is not always immediately obvious which of those outcomes are the correct ones. I gave a few guidelines that I personally found very useful when testing various kinds of statistical programs – both probabilistic and non-probabilistic. Finally, I made a case why magic, ad-hoc scores should not be used in place of probability whenever possible.
I hope you found my entry useful – there's surprisingly little about testing statistical code on the Internet. As always, please let me know your thoughts and comments. Now, go back to your statistical programs and estimate (hopefully correctly)!

Testing for laws instead of specific instances is indeed a powerful mechanism (QuickCheck, for example, encourages this, though it randomly generates inputs and attempts to condense down results into a "yes" or "no" answer, which is frequently not reasonable for statistical applications). You gloss over, however, how you select input data, which I'm curious about: I guess you take sample data from the real world and use that to run tests?February 18, 2011 3:04 am
Hi Edward,
That's exactly what you do in most cases. You obtain a large dataset (such as the Penn Treebank if you do natural language parsing), and split it into a small training set and a larger test set. You then train on one and test on the other. However, if you're only testing correctness and not performance/accuracy, you could probably get away with randomized input.February 18, 2011 3:46 pm
This is a very well compiled list of things. I write statistical software as part of my job profile and ran into very similar issues and coming up with similar solutions.
I will just like to add one thing, any dataset where-in you know that your algorithm overfits is a nice software testing dataset :-). For example, if one writes an HMM code, then one can generate a synthetic dataset using just a single path in the HMM. Then, one can allow the HMM to train from this dataset using different training sizes and monitor the entire HMM (along with its transition probabilities) and how it behaves with differing training sizes. This allows us to catch some odd behaviour that can happen due to underflow (which can go unnoticed for a long time).
Doing the same for other algorithms is not very easy, but when it is possible, it comes in very handy to catch some subtle bugs.July 31, 2012 11:33 pm

This is a growing problem for most people since by the time they figure out

substantial unpaid medical expenses, the sort
that people who have health insurance don. The remaining 20% of applications are declined by carriers due to health history that increases the carrier's
claims exposure in excess of the premium that can be charged
for the coverage. In this example her total out-of-pocket expense (deductible plus her share of coinsurance) is $1,200 ($1,000 deductible and $200 coinsurance).June 12, 2013 4:08 pm

bought 1gal. container of 2% and need to know how much to use to get .12% for oral rinse. my math sucks
How do I dilute 2% cholorhexidine gluconate dwn to .12% for oral rinse?

Responses (1)
Are you saying 12% or 1.2%. There is no way you can get it to 12% accurately. You'd have to boil it down. If you put equal parts of the chem and water it would be 1%. I'm a person who bakes from scratch and if in doubt I just thro in a little more. I'm not good doing exact solutions. Your pharmacist should be able to help you with that if no one else here can tell you exactly.
Sorry, when I looked at the header it makes sense. My answer stands. I would just keep breaking it down. Take the 1% solution and mix with equal parts, and get 0.5% then in half again would be 0.25. and again would be 0.125.

*Because of their status as people vying to become president, the Republican politicians campaigning often produce statements critical of the current president. And because they all run under the guise of conservatism, their criticism often revolves around how Obama is too much of an activist president and is not following the Constitutional guidelines for the office.
Much of the sniping aimed at President Obama can be attributed to partisanship and can therefore be summarily dismissed. Nevertheless it is noteworthy that attacking Obama for not following the Constitutional version of the Presidency is philosophically questionable if not outright wrong.
The Constitution outlines the executive branch very loosely. This is because the Founding Fathers were pretty certain what they wanted from the legislature (pass laws to protect property and promote commerce) but pretty uncertain what they wanted from the executive. The Framers were torn between the horrors of absolute monarchy and the unsustainability of not having a chief officer, both of which they had recently experienced under colonial rule and the Articles of Confederation respectively.
This is why the responsibilities of the office of the Presidency is intentionally vague. And how conservatives are able to say Obama is overstepping his job description when he promotes universal health care. But the Framers also intentionally left room for growth in all three branches. As new technologies, industries, issues, and alliances emerged over time, Congress had a responsibility to legislate and regulate these developments. The President then, would necessarily have a responsibility to uphold the new laws. This is why the executive bureaucracy grows; it is also why the President must be active – creating new positions, appointing officers and researching issues to name a few actions that need to be taken.
To say that the President should be reserved in his actions is to make him an extension of Congress only acting at their prompting. Much to the contrary he needs to be assertive in enforcing the laws. Presidents throughout American history have acted according to their understanding of the law (including the Constitution), what should not be debated is the idea of Presidential activism. Obama is no different in this respect.
Of course if most of the would be Presidents were honest with themselves, their supporters, and the American people at large, they would admit that their critiques of Obama comes not because of his contradicting the Constitutional mandate for the presidency. Instead those critiques come because of a difference of opinion about what is best for the American public. But again Obama is merely following his conscience and acting according to the Constitution.
Part of the explicit duties of the President is to conduct an annual State of the Union in which the executive reports to the legislature how things are going nationally and makes recommendations. Essentially the president is charged with saying what direction the country should take. When President Bush talked about the problem of performance enhancing drugs in professional sports, he highlighted potential health issues because of the tendency of young people to emulate prestigious athletes. He essentially promoted the country going down the road of ethics and health as it pertains to athletics.
When President Obama promoted health care he was also highlighting potential health issues but on a much larger scale. Obama was and is not concerned about only the health of professional athletes but all Americans. He essentially directed the country down the path of everyone being physically able to work and contribute to society.
President Obama is operating in exactly the way the Framers wanted. People of all political bents (but especially conservatives) should keep this in mind as the Presidential campaign season begins in earnest. Doing so will help the arguments that will inevitably arise will be relevant instead of people simply shouting "The Constitution!!"

Sweet and Savoury Pursuits
March 24, 2015
I love lemon flavoured desserts as well and these bars look delicious!
A few weeks ago I attended a "Dinner for 12 Strangers," a UCLA alumni tradition. It's exactly what it sounds like; alum in various cities host a dinner at their house for 12 strangers, all of whom share UCLA as their alma mater. It's always an amazing experience and a way to meet and network with highly motivated and interesting individuals. This was a special one for me because it was my first on the East Coast, and the group very much enjoyed reminiscing about Westwood and discussing how much we miss SoCal weather and Korean Barbeque. Turns out I am not alone in my #eastcoaststruggles.
Our Dinner for 12 Strangers was potluck-style, and I volunteered to bring a dessert (of course). I wanted to make something seasonal, but I find winter a little hard for seasonal desserts since fruit is fairly limited. I settled on Meyer lemons as my main ingredient and went with a classic lemon bar. One of my main deciding factors was that I needed something easily transportable taking public transportation all the way to the UWS; these worked out well in that regard.
I had actually never made lemon bars before, but I pretty much love everything lemon-flavored so there's no going wrong here. They turned out fabulous and I received quite a few compliments at my D-12 dinner.
Bon Appétit!
Meyer Lemon Bars (recipe from Treats)
1 1/4 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup powdered sugar, plus more to sprinkle on the finished bars
A pinch of salt
8 Tbsp unsalted butter, still cool and cut into 8 pieces
7 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
1 Cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
2/3 Cup meyer lemon juice (from about 4-5 medium lemons)
Finely grated zest from the lemons
1/2 Tsp salt
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut in to 4 pieces

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey I'm PerturbdPineappl and this is my first guide. I have had lots of good experiences with Katarina lately and want to share my build
Pros and Cons
I don't know quite how this works so I am just going to list them without the fancy stuff.
Insane damage when fed
Can carry team fights easily
Ward jumps
Amazing roam
If you lose too bad early you are almost useless
CC is your hard counter
Lame joke
Squishy when built like this
I always max my Q first because it allows you to do lots of poke damage in lane, also it scales better then your W if you can proc the mark. Next you max W because that ill do lots of aoe damage when maxed, and gives you a nice move speed boost for trying to escape. Lastly max your e because you won't really need it other then for you dashes. Always max your R when it is available
Flat AP runes for your Blues and Yellows give you a nice amount of AP, Magic Penetration Reds give you extra damage, and the scaling CDR Quints will give you max CDR at full build, and help with your poke potential as you will be able to spam your Q more and more.
Unless you are losing lane you always want to get Mejai's. Because of Katarina's ability to roam you can get quick stacks in bot lane which will allow you to do even more damage. If you are losing just pick up a Haunting Guise for the early HP and Magic Penetration. After you finish your Mejai's get a Deathcap so that the Mejai's stacks scale really well. After this depending on how your doing get a Zhonya if you feel you need to survive more, or a Void Staff if you just want more damage. Keep in mind that a Zhonya will give you more damage with its hefty 120 bonus AP, but Void Staff gives Magic Penetration. Always get the Void staff they are getting Magic Resist. After these two items sell your Haunting Guise and get a Death Fire Grasp which will help you 100 to 0 the enemy tanks quicker. When you are at full build you will Insta Kill any squishy that gets near, just beware of any hard CC
Early Game
Just poke with your q and farm as well as you can. Use your Q to farm if you can't hit the enemy with it. Once you get lvl 3, you are going to want to poke them down with q till they are half HP, and when they are at half HP, use your full QEW combo. After doing that twice they will either be forced to back or will be dead. Remember to use ignite.
Mid Game
As soon as you hit lvl 6 you want to roam. If you don't have your Mejai's yet, wait until you get it to roam as it is very beneficial for when you are roaming. You could go top or bot but I recommend bot because there are two people which means more stacks for you. If your team's lane is pushed, and the enemy is at around half HP, enter through the tri-brush and dive them with all three people. If they are pushed, you can enter through the river but always be wary of wards. Have your bot lane initiate and after the enemy has committed go in on the person with least HP with your QEWR combo. As soon as they are dead jump to the next person if possible. Roaming to top is the same principle just with more tanky people. Roam as much as possible to get those stacks and finish your Deathcap. If executed correctly you will be unstoppable
Late Game
Late game you should be almost finished with your build and should be inspiring fear into the hearts of the enemy. If you see a squishy alone immediately jump on him/her with QEWR combo and that should delete them. If it doesn't just wait for your Shunpo to come up, and use your warding trinket to ward jump to close the gap, and throw your Q at them for the kill. Don't chase too much or else you might get ambushed. While TeamFighting, you are generally not gonna want to initiate. Preferably you go in last after the enemy team as burned all their hard cc. Throw your Q and Shunpo to the nearest squishy or low HP champ and unleash your combo. Get resets and continue killing people. If and only if you are ultra fed and the team doesn't have hard CC. Don't be afraid to initiate 1v3 or 1v4. They won't expect it so you will have the upper hand. Q 1 of them then E then W then R. Let your R run until it kills at least one person then if everyone else is at Half HP, you can cancel your ultimate by using another ability, and QEW the nearest person. Rinse Lather Repeat. All three or four should be dead in a couple of seconds.

When you use images in your presentations, you might run into scenarios where you want to combine two images. In order to achieve the desired effect you may need to remove the background of one image so that it can sit in front of another image. In a past blog post, I explained how to do this in PowerPoint 2007. You can still use that approach in PowerPoint 2010 (Select image > Format > Color > Set Transparent Color). However, Microsoft offers you a new and useful option in PowerPoint 2010 to actually edit and remove the background of an image.

Using Shadow Effects in PowerPoint 2007
One of my favorite new features of PowerPoint 2007 is the ability to add shadows to images, objects, and text. Previously in PowerPoint 2003, you were only able to add shadows to text — that's it. You would need Photoshop and the necessary graphic editing skills to create professional-looking shadows for anything else. Now Microsoft gives you some Photoshop-like shadow effects in PowerPoint 2007.

Mastering Gradient Fills in PowerPoint 2007
When you upgraded to PowerPoint 2007 from PowerPoint 2003, you might have noticed a big change in the way gradient fill effects work. When I first started using the new gradient fill effect options in PowerPoint 2007, I was a little frustrated with it. I thought that some gradient functionality had actually been removed. However, once you get oriented with the new gradient fill approach, you realize you can do what you did before with gradients and much more.

PowerPoint Color Transparency Tip
When you're working with picture images in PowerPoint, you may want to remove unnecessary parts of an image so that you can see other graphics behind it. If the image in question is a vector image (e.g., WMF), it may be very easy to customize the clip art image. However, if the image is a bitmap image (e.g., PNG, JPG, GIF), then you cannot simply "ungroup" the image and edit it as you want. If you own Photoshop and you're proficient with it, this task may be fairly straightforward for you. However, many business users don't have access to this expensive photo editing software or if they do, they may not know how to use it. Continue reading "PowerPoint Color Transparency Tip"

NEW ORLEANS - JANUARY 24: Pierre Thomas #23 of the New Orleans Saints runs the ball against Jasper Brinkley #54 and Kevin Williams #93 of the Minnesota Vikings during the NFC Championship Game at the Louisana Superdome on January 24, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Jasper Brinkley has been set as the Minnesota Vikings' starting middle linebacker since the offseason, but he might have finally won the job in Friday's third preseason game. Minnesota didn't add veteran insurance in case Brinkley was slow to develop after missing all of last season after hip surgery. The starting job has been Brinkley's to lose since the team decided not to re-sign E.J. Henderson in the offseason. Yet, the Vikings had grown cautious of Brinkley's health and his ability to return confident from the injuries. Friday's game against the San Diego Chargers --when he had four tackles and two sacks -- was crucial to regaining the coaches' confidence in him, as much as it was in regaining confidence in himself. "Very important," coach Leslie Frazier said. "It's a good point, because we were concerned going into the preseason about his health and what has happened over the last year. So, to see him incrementally get better as time has gone on and then to play as well as he did in the third preseason game, that's very encouraging for our entire staff and our defense. It's good for his teammates to see him make the plays that he made in that game. It was very encouraging. We feel much better about where he is now than we did prior to that game." Brinkley has come through a lot in the past year. He entered training camp last year ready to compete with Erin Henderson for a starting outside linebacker spot. But Brinkley was had surgery during the preseason to repair the labrum in his hip and was lost for the year. He felt he was back to full health by the end of last season and entered the offseason ready to win the starting middle linebacker position, a spot he had been almost groomed for as E.J. Henderson's replacement since being drafted in the fifth round in 2009. Brinkley's return was slow once he returned to football activities though. Missing minicamp with the groin issue started to create concern. Frazier had said Brinkley needed to regain his confidence and believe that he wasn't going to get injured again. For Brinkley, it wasn't about regaining his confidence. It was just a process of returning after missing an entire year. He said himself that Friday's performance was important. "It was pretty big," Brinkley said. "Confidence has never been an issue for me. It was just getting back on the field and getting back used to playing football. I've never doubted myself or anything like that, never been tentative. I've always been a physical guy, not scared to go down and hit anything. The game Friday was great, was great. I just keep continue to build off of that." Brinkley also knows he had something to prove to his coaches. "I'm pretty sure I did," Brinkley said. "Your job is never guaranteed in the National Football League and being able to go out each and every week and improve, that's big. That's always big." Friday, Brinkley showed more aggressiveness in his play and improvement moment. He had two tackles for loss, three quarterback hits and plugged the middle of the run defense. "One of his strengths is being a downhill, in-your-face type guy, but to see him show the lateral quickness that he did and the change of direction that he did, we hadn't seen that as instinctively early on," Frazier said. "So, the fact that he was reacting and responding the way he did, it was good to see. You feel much better about him today." And Brinkley feels better about himself, day by day. "I just had to get some games under my belt," Brinkley said. "That was it. Just being away from the game for a year, you don't see everything clearly as you used to when you was on the field a lot. That was big. That was big for me." Follow Brian Hall on Twitter.

Suggested Tweets: Last chance to participate in the #Lionfish Panhandle Pilot Program. @MyFWC: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLFFWCC/bulletins/18c7db9 #fishing #Florida
Lionfish Panhandle Pilot Program ends May 19
Panhandle lionfish hunters only have until May 19 to compete in the Panhandle Pilot Program. This yearlong lionfish removal incentive program rewards divers for harvesting lionfish off Escambia through Franklin counties. The program may be ending, but lionfish are open for harvest year-round and there are no bag or size limits.
For every 100 lionfish removed, divers receive a tag that allows them to take an additional cobia or red grouper in state waters, but this tag must be used before May 19. The first 10 teams who remove 500 or more lionfish also qualify to name an artificial reef in the Panhandle. To date, six groups have qualified to rename an artificial reef.
The program ends the day before the annual Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day Festival, which is May 20-21 at Plaza de Luna in Pensacola.
A revamp of the statewide Lionfish Challenge will also be launched that same weekend. More information on this program will be coming soon.
Learn more about the Panhandle Pilot Program and how you can get rewarded for your lionfish removals by visiting MyFWC.com/Lionfish.

In AODocs Team Folders and Secured Folders libraries, you can duplicate an entire folder structure (i.e. a parent folder and all the subfolders nested under it) within the same library. This operation is available to any user who is authorized to create folders in the library.
To copy a folder structure, access an AODocs view and select a single folder in the view (1). Click on the "More actions" button (2) and select the option "Copy folder tree" (3).
Copying a folder structure
A small pop-up appears prompting for the name of the new folder structure (4).
After you have entered a name, click on "Copy" (5) to launch the copy of the folder tree.
Launching the folder structure copy
Once the copy has started, AODocs will copy the folder structure and place the copy in the parent folder of the folder you have selected for the copy. For example if the top folder you want to copy is located in a parent folder named "HR documents", the copied folder structure will be placed in the same "HR documents" parent folder.
The following limitations apply to the folder structure copy:
- the folder structure copy does not copy the documents contained in the source folder and subfolders, it only copies the folder structure;
- the folder copy is limited to a structure of 200 folders maximum. If you try to copy more than 200 folders, an error message will be displayed and you will not be able to start the copy;
- the folder structure copy process can only copy the folders for which you have access: it will ignore the folders that you cannot see (and these folders will not be counted in the limit of 200 folders);
- the existing permissions of the source folder tree are ignored: the new folders created by the copy process get the same sharing permissions as the parent folder where they are created.

Popularity Contest is a WordPress plugin that keeps a count of your post, category and archive views, comments, trackbacks, etc. and uses them to determine which of your posts are most popular. I have used it for almost as long as I have used WordPress, and it was a great plugin in its time. But it is time to declare it on life support at least, if not dead in the water.
The problem with Popularity Contest is that was last updated on Dec. 16th, 2007, and it is only compatible up to WordPress 2.3.1. The current version of WordPress is 2.7. If you have had Popularity Contest installed since then, the plugin functions fine. The problem is that it will no longer connect to the database for anything else other than to record information. If you try to reset values, which is a feature, it fails.
If you try to install it on a new version of WordPress, it fails because it will not create a new database, if one doesn't already exist. You have to manually create the database on your own. Even then it may still have problems. Although there is a fix for those problems, there is no fix for the database connectivity problems other than manually modifying the database yourself.
As a result of these problems, I sought out a more current plugin that does the same thing. The plugin I found is called WordPress Popular Posts. I've been using it, and I am really satisifed with how it works. You can call it directly from your theme, or it has a widget, if your theme is widget enabled. It is also more configurable, but very simple to install. It does create a new table in your database, however, to track page views, but I had no problems with it. It uses the existing WordPress data for everything else.
I am continuing to use Popularity Contest where I already have it installed and it is working sufficiently. I am using it on this blog, in fact. But for any new installs, I am using WordPress Popular Posts. That is unless Popularity Contest ever gets updated to work with the current version of WordPress. If anyone else has abandoned it, I would like to hear what you are using instead.
Update: I'm so pleased with how WordPress Popular Posts works, I'm using it on all my sites now, and getting rid of Popularity Contest.

Wimbledon Courts
The Wimbledon courts are unique as it is the last remaining Grand Slam event played on the lush grass courts which has seen some of the best ever battles, including the epic Borg / McEnroe final of 1980 which many would call the greatest tennis match ever.
Free Wimbledon Bets - Bookmakers Betting Offers
To this day Wimbledon remains the quintessential British sporting day out, whether you spend your time watching the play on the outside courts while indulging in the Wimbledon custom of eating strawberries and cream.
Wimbledon Centre Court
Wimbledon Centre court is just about the most famous tennis court in the world which now has a capacity of 15,000. The Centre Court at Wimbledon can be compared in sporting importance to Lords for Cricket , to Wembley for football and even Twickenham to rugby.
It first opened in 1922 and had its roof changed for the first time in 1992. The roof has subsequenty been changed once more to add a new Centre Court retractable roof, which was used for the first time in 2009.
The Centre Court boasts its own Royal Box along with boxes used by major dignatories and the like. With the installation of the new roof, came new media facilities, scoreboards social areas, lifts, video facilities and new wider seats.
Mens Outright Wimbledon Betting Odds
The inscription above the entry way to Centre Court reads "If you can meet with triumph and disaster / And treat those two imposters just the same" which is a famous line taken from a poem by Rudyard Kipling entitled simply...If.
Wimbledon Court No1
Wimbledon court number 1 is also a great theatre for the best of the tennis professionals to showcase their talents and has a very large seating capacity only surpassed by the centre court. Play starts on Centre and No.1 Courts at 1.00p.m. For the first eleven days and 2.00 pm on the final days. Court No1 has a capacity of 11,249 and was opened in 1997 to replace the old court 1 which was attatched to Centre Court.
