I'd like to try the Rimmel's foundation, I put it on my wishlist, however, I have heard more opinions that were similar to yours. That's why I think I'll ask for a sample before I buy a whole bottle. Especially that I usually have the problem with patches on my nose with thicker foundations. I guess, it's the same thing you described. But of course, the shade range in Poland starts with 100 Ivory... Luckily, the shade seems to be okay for me :)OdgovoriIzbrišiOdgovori
You certainly should get a sample first. It's not an easy foundation to work with and if you have the same issues with patches on the nose, it's worth testing it our before :)Izbriši
I'm sure that if we had Rimmel in Slovenia, we'd be missing the lightest shades as well. Drugstore companies make the oddest decisions :/
That's true! Our shade ranges of foundations, eyeshadows and lipsticks are totally different than e.g. in the UK or Germany... And the shades that interest me are always missing in Poland :DIzbriši
Don't I know it *sighs*. That's why I'm so glad Boots International started shipping here and that Feel Unique is adding new drugstore brands :)Izbriši

Jaz sem drugače, ko sem šla enkrat prej pogledat stroške dostave na NARSovi evropski strani, opazila, da jih ni, če naročiš izdelke v vrednosti nad 50 EUR. Ker nisem bila popolnoma prepričana, da to velja tudi za dostavo v Slovenijo, sem poskušala dati dva izdelka v nakupovalno košaro in se je res takrat, ko sem v nakupovalno košaro dodala še drugi izdelek, da je vrednost obeh izdelkov skupaj presegla 50 EUR, izpisalo poleg tega, da so stroški dostave v Slovenijo 18 EUR, še, da je popust na stroške dostave 18 EUR. :)OdgovoriIzbrišiOdgovori
Vem za to brezplačno poštnino, samo s tem me dejansko silijo v to, da moram še nekaj vzet, ker puder s pumpico pride ravno pod 50 €. Nimam pojma kaj bi še vzela :)Izbriši

Ja, res je, da je v takem primeru potrebno počakati, da si še kaj zaželiš ali da ti zmanjka kakšnega drugega njihovega izdelka, ker je že smešno plačati tako drago poštnino ali nakupiti nek drug, isto kot poštnina drag izdelek samo zato, da ne bi plačala poštnine. :D :)Izbriši
Pa še fora je ker moj znesek pride malo nad 40 €, potem pa nimajo praktično nič pod 20 € in zato zapraviš absolutno preveč :/Izbriši
I didnt try rimmel foundation, but it looks so great on you! Shade is perfect match and your skin is glowing. It fits you better then nars. My friend has this rimmel foundation so for sure im going to try it. :)OdgovoriIzbrišiOdgovori
I agree, the shade is better for me as pink toned foundations work better with my skin tone, but I'm not a huge fan of the formula. You should definitely try it if you have a chance, it might work great for you. I still have Wake Me Up to try as it has the same shade as well :)Izbriši
I've seen your review for that Max Factor foundation and I really want it now :)

Your swatch comparisons are SO helpful! It really puts the color of a foundation into context and perspective. Great review, thanks.OdgovoriIzbrišiOdgovori
Thank you :D I'm always struggling with shades, so I want to make it easier for others :)Izbriši
I immediately noticed the white cap.... first time I see that, than the NUDE white circle ... and the medium coverage....I use the one with the red cap, instead of the white circle it says "with comfort serum" and on the bottom part it says full coverage! That's why I was wondering HOW you dont like this foundation! Mine cover quite well, blends nicely and leaves your skin dewy (and a bit sticky, so setting it with powder is recommended... and that works great , also)OdgovoriIzbriši
The only thing is that's it has SPF20 so its not the best for flash photos!Odgovori
I never tried that one, but even after a year of trying to make this foundation work, it just hasn't happened. It looks odd on my skin, but I use it for mixing with my yellow toned foundations. I might try the one with the red cap next :)Izbriši

When it comes to games designed for your iDevice, the "line-drawing" segment really is perfect for it. Games that involve simple taps and swipes make use of the device's prominent features and if done well, can also result in a great game. Enter Super 7, a line-drawing title (with a math twist) brought to you by developers No Monkeys (makers of the fun Green Fingers and Alphabetic). So with expectations set, read on to see if 7 equals heaven, or if these devs were just monkeying around.
Just as there's an app for pretty much anything you need, there seems to be a game for just about every type of person. Whether you're into racing, hunting, maths, or … gardening. The latest in the pick up and play format to fall into my hands is geared toward the latter.

Nicki Minaj is urging rapper Gucci Mane, real name Radric Davis, to go to rehab.
Mane made some off-key comments about Minaj via Twitter on Monday, including alleging that the two had slept together. He also went on the offensive against his label, Atlantic Records, and other stars like Waka Flocka Flame, Drake and Ciara, the latter of whom he also insinuated he slept with.
But the "Starships" singer quickly denied his allegations, writing on Twitter, "May God strike me dead if I ever had sex wit that man... N**ga da way ya ugliness is set up... crackhead. Jesus strike me dead right now if I ever had sex with this animal."
Gucci Mane later apologized, which Minaj Tweeted about later, revealing that she think he needs some time in rehab.
"Ok Gee (Gucci Mane) called me... that was fun tho I'm praying 4 him. 4real," she wrote. "He's sick and in dire need of rehab. Love".
Mane has been troubled for several years, battling legal issues including recent battery charges over a nightclub altercation in Atlanta in March, where he allegedly hit a soldier over the head with a bottle, and he was just released from prison in May.
Some believe that the rapper went on his Twitter rant because he was dropped by his record label, something that has yet to be confirmed.

Jim Sutton promising "cheese" bested the Flying Urbanski brothers buckeye push in the competition for the 2007 Convention in the Midwest.
Wisconsin-native Jim badgered convention goers in with promises of two cheese factories within 10 miles, hints of scheduling it around the Oshgosh fly in and noting it is between Michigan and Illinois. Perhaps his trump cards were the support of Don Holmes who did the research and arch convention mega organizer Nikki Hemphill.
The stiffest competition came from the Ed and Steve Urbanski, famed for their flyins to highpoints, who actually went to Bellefontaine to discuss convention options with the city tourism officials. It was one of the best presentations from a practical point of view (complete with low cost hotels and campgrounds). The Urbanskis graciously agreed to help with the 2007 convention.
Ken Akerman nominated Michigan to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the club's first convention there in 1987.
The Urbanski brothers nominate Ohio.

See below for a full list of available titles by this Author
Kevin Powers was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University, and holds an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin, where he was a Michener Fellow in Poetry.
He is also a veteran of the Second Gulf war, serving in the in the US Army in 2004 and 2005, where he was deployed as a machine gunner in Mosul and Tal Afar.
His first novel is The Yellow Birds, set during the conflict in Iraq, an unforgettable account of friendship and loss. It was awarded the 2012 Guardian First Book Award.
Private Bartle returns home after his tour in Iraq, numbed by the trauma of fighting in the heat and dust and traumatised by the death of his closest friend out there, to whose mother he'd made a solemn promise that he would ensure his safe return.
Powers' poetic language contrasts sharply with the horror and absurdity of the war he depicts and comparisons have been made with Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Michael Herr's Dispatches, Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried and Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front.
In this exclusive interview with Foyles, Kevin discusses why he signed up for military service, the difference in covering war through art and journalism and empathy as an act of imagination.
How did you come to join the army at the age of seventeen?
I wasn't a particularly good student in high school, but I knew that I wanted to go to college. And given the fact that there is a long tradition of military service in my family, enlisting always seemed like a viable option. It was neither encouraged nor discouraged, but I had by then inferred that the military was where a person went to develop the qualities I had come to admire in my father, my uncle, and both of my grandfathers. The cliché, in my case, was true: I thought that the army would "make me a man."
First World War poet Wilfred Owen wrote in the Preface to his poems: "My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity". Does this apply to The Yellow Birds?
I can only say that the impulse to write The Yellow Birds came from a desire to look for some truth that I hoped could be found at the core of that most extreme of human experiences. I also thought that by placing the emphasis on the language, using it to demonstrate Bartle's perpetual, unbearable sense of awe and wonder, I'd have at least a chance of connecting to another human being on an emotional level. I wanted to engage with the imagination above all else, because I believe that empathy is an imaginative act.
What sort of reactions to your book have you had from those with combat experience in Iraq?
I don't know that many vets have had a chance to read it yet, but I have had several kind messages of encouragement and support for which I am deeply grateful.
You're also a poet and this comes across in the deeply lyrical quality of your prose. Was this intended in counterpoint to the rawness of the dialogue?
I intended it not just as counterpoint to the rawness of the dialogue, but also to the rawness of the experience. In that respect it is more point than counterpoint. In trying to demonstrate Bartle's mental state, I felt very strongly that the language would have to be prominent. Language is, at its essence, a set of noises and signs that represent what is happening inside our heads. If I have faith that those noises and signs can be received and understood by another person, than I should also have faith that they can be made more finely tuned.
You've said that you were asked most often what it was like in Iraq on your own return. Do you feel that fiction works better than reportage in overcoming people's squeamishness and portraying the reality of combat?
I wouldn't say that it works better, only that it works in a different way. The benefit is that it can confound expectations, particularly in the case of these wars that have been going on so long. It is perfectly understandable that people become inured to the violence when it is presented to them in the same way for ten years or more. Art will sometimes allow you to see the same thing in a new way. But this is only possible because artists don't have the same kind of responsibilities as journalists. The work that journalists do during wartime is utterly essential and, to me, incomprehensibly difficult.
One particularly poignant moment comes when Bartle make a promise to the mother of his future comrade-in-arms Murphy that he'll make sure her son makes it home safely, by which time in the book we know he will not be able to do. Is Bartle's guilt fuelled more by Murphy's death or his own survival?
I would not be able to separate the two. The root of his guilt is that he wanted to be good, and he tried to be good, but he failed. His conflict is between his desire to redeem that failure and his acceptance of complete powerlessness.
The Yellow Birds has already brought comparison with books as diverse as Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, Joseph Heller's Catch-22 and Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. Were there any particular books that served as an inspiration to you?
Those books were all very meaningful to me. I would include Meditations in Green by Stephen Wright, as well as the poetry of Yusef Komunyakaa.
Can you tell us anything about what you're working on at the moment?
I have a collection of poems I'm nearly finished with. And I've begun work on my second novel, about a murder that takes place in Virginia just after the American Civil War.

$1 transactions explained
$1 transactions explained
The real estate listings include many $1 transactions.
Most of those listings do not mean that properties were sold for
$1, according to a spokesman for The Warren Group, of Boston, which
provides the information to The Journal.
Most are not "arms-length transactions," transfers of property
from one unrelated party to another, and they do not reflect true
market value, according to The Warren Group.
The $1 listings, called nominal sales, can include quit-claim
deeds, which could involve transactions involving a divorce or
transfer of property within a family, such as an inheritance, or
any other changes made to a deed, even minor corrections. The $1
listings can also include bank transfers, according to The Warren

Complementary Currencies in Japan Today
Since 1995 the number of experiments with complementary currencies in Japan has exploded. Not only is Japan the country in the world with the most systems in operation today, but also the nation with the greatest diversity of such experiments. The aim of this paper is to bring to light the strata of the heterogeneous Japanese schools of complementary currencies, and describe how they relate to each other. It provides a description of the different models used in each school, as well as their numbers and locations. Finally, the most original models are highlighted, and the relevance of these experiments for the rest of the world is evaluated.

[ Saalouk #2: Tom Young ] 'I want to tell the truth – not just the tragedy but also the beauty'
Posted January 25th, 2008
[ Saalouk #2: Tom Young ] A modern-day David Roberts
Listen to the interview: Part I, II, III, IV, V
MENASSAT.COM: As a British painter who has done work in so many idyllic settings, the south of France, Italy, the Thames River, what are you doing in Lebanon?
TOM YOUNG: "Well, I spent a lot of time when I was young in countries surrounding Lebanon. I studied architecture and art for a term at Istanbul University and had been to Israel when I was 11, in 1984.
"So I became aware of the struggle in this part of the world from a very early age.
"As well, the whole of the British TV news was saturated with reports about the war in Lebanon at a very important time in my life, when I was 10 and 11, back in the 80's.
"There's a tragic event that happened in my family. My mother died when I was eleven. She actually took her own life. And so, at that time, I was completely shocked and devastated by that event in my own life.
"While I was going through that experience, I was watching TV reports about what was going on in Beirut and maybe there was some connection deep inside of me that I made, some type of connection between the two. And so [Lebanon] was always in my consciousness."
When was the first time you actually came to Lebanon?
"I came to Lebanon in 2006 in the spring. I was deeply shocked and saddened and affected by the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and my interest in this part of the world was greatly heightened at that point because I felt what my country was doing at that time was wrong, and I wanted to somehow express my feelings. So I went on the big anti-war march in London.
"I was planning to actually go to Baghdad and do some painting of some kind, I suppose, a sort of protest but also to show empathy with the people there.
"And, I was planning this project but then the situation there just escalated into total – well, it just got much worse. So that idea got shelved. As soon as this happened – well, I've got a friend in London who is Lebanese and actually runs the car mechanic business that fixes my car. And he's done well for himself. He immigrated to England during the civil war.
"He had always taken interest in my painting, and had always said to me that he would like to buy a painting – a landscape – because he loves my landscapes. And, then he said, 'Right Tom, I want to buy a painting from you now.'
And I said to him, 'Why do you want a painting of England or France? Why don't you have a painting of your homeland?'
He said, 'That is my dream. I would love to have a painting of my home because I miss it so much. You've got go to Lebanon! I'll pay for your ticket – you can meet my family.' "
'My work is rather like Roberts' – it is romantic and ideal. But it also takes into account the sadness and tragedy'
'Damaged.' © tomyoung.com
Do you fancy yourself a sort of contemporary David Roberts?
"Yes, I do. His work does interest me from the point of view of its uplifting quality and by the way he manages to cross sectarian divides and paint the land of Palestine and The Levant in a way that appeals to everyone.
"I am interested in this idea of art being a unifying force that joins people divided by religious and political divides, conflicts. I am interested in the idea that the work of Roberts now hangs on the corrugated iron walls of the Palestinian refugee camps here in Lebanon and this part of the world because it harks back to the land they once had and it puts them in touch with something that is very close to their hearts.
"I think this is what art can do when it works well. And my work is rather like Roberts' work – it is romantic and ideal. So I am interested in making work that is uplifting and gives people warmth and some hope. But it also takes into account the sadness and tragedy.
"I think in Roberts' work, he hasn't necessarily got a sense of this. But I'd like to take the best of his work and infuse it with something contemporary and real."
It's a much smaller world now; people are much more connected. In your painting – as you say you're trying to contemporize Roberts' vision because it is not a perfect world here – are you trying to challenge the West's perceptions of the Arab world as well?
"Yeah, I would really like to challenge and reverse these rather patronizing visions of the Orient, as it were. Some elements of this idea of romantic idealism do appeal to me because I find this part of the world beautiful and inspiring. I'd like to tell the truth of the whole of this part of the world, not just the tragedy and the violence, but also the beauty."
How are you going to avoid the concept of coming to Lebanon, extracting your experience, putting it down on canvas and then taking it back to the U.K. and keeping it there?
"Obviously I will have to do that in the beginning because I've got to earn my living. I'm an artist. I need to make paintings and I'll go back and have an exhibition.
"But I want to invite the Middle Eastern community in London – as you say, 'It's a much smaller world now' – I want to draw the Middle Eastern community in the West to my exhibition. For example, to invite the ambassadors of Lebanon, Syria and Israel all to come to the exhibition so that maybe the exhibition in my part of the world becomes a platform for people to meet and talk – and to appreciate what might be lost if more effort is not taken to protect and improve the lives of people here. So that is one level on which I'd like to work.
"I'd also love to have an exhibition here in Lebanon. Don't take it back home. Keep it here where it belongs. This is something I'd love to do, and not just be a traveler tourist who comes and takes. But I want to come and contribute and add to some of the culture here if I can."
'Painting and drawing is a common language that everyone speaks, rather like music'
'Downtown Beirut.' © tomyoung.com
Do you find as painter that it is difficult to go into sensitive areas here in Lebanon – like Hezbollah areas or the Palestinian camps? Talk to me about the process that you go through. As a painter, how do you approach that?
"I think painting and drawing really has a got a special quality that appeals to everyone. It is a common language that everyone speaks, rather like music.
"When I was in Lebanon for the first time in the spring of 2006, whilst I was doing a commission for a wealthy Christian family, I also wanted to go into the Palestinian refugee camps. I went to Chatila and I spent a couple of days there doing portraits of children. Really as a way of connecting and just trying to have some fun.
"It was a wonderful experience and the kids loved it so much that they were queuing up to be drawn. There were kids sharpening my pencils for me, picking up my paper if I dropped it. It was just a lovely communal experience that went beyond the fact that I was British and they were Palestinian.
"I think that is something that painting has got that perhaps photography and film-making haven't got. And that became particularly apparent when I was in Chatila, because as I was drawing these portraits, a photographer appeared and he began taking photos of people. As soon as the kids saw the camera, they all ran away and I was left alone with my sketchbook.
"They all hid behind bits of wall near their shacks. As soon as the photographer disappeared, they ran back out to have their portraits drawn again. And that told me something about drawing and painting and what it can do particularly in the technological age because it is a language that crosses all boundaries and that kids find fun. And the mothers joined in as well.
"I also met some older people there at Chatila who spoke quite good English, and they questioned me about the whole history of British involvement in what has happened in this region. And this is something I've always been aware of too.
"I'm an Englishman and I love my country. But I'm deeply shocked and saddened by some of the things that my country has done. And in some senses, I don't know if I feel guilt, but it's certainly a deep concern for what my forefathers have done.
"It does inspire me to perhaps try and do something to counter the terrible effect that the Balfour Declaration and before that the Sykes-Picot Agreement that led to it – has had on people here. People's lives have been ripped apart here. And it is just not right!
"I'm not a politician. I'm not a doctor and I'm not a soldier. There's perhaps not much I can do in practical terms. But as an artist I'd like to think I can do something to help or to aid in understanding. Even it's just a drop in the ocean, I feel compelled to make this drop."
'There's no big clever concept here, I just want to express my feelings about what I see. Be it beauty or be it destruction'
Your painting, "20 Years," which is clearly in the Dahiyeh, which was devastated during the Israeli war – that was one of those pieces that came from your trip to Lebanon in September of 2006?
"Yes, it did. It came directly from that. A very good friend of mine – a Shi'a Lebanese – took me to places in Dahiyeh where some of his family had been living and where their homes had been destroyed. It was a very moving experience – the devastation, the desolation.
"Actually, we met one woman who refused to leave her house throughout the entire Israeli bombing campaign. She had an amazing dignity and strength. My friend introduced me to her – and she let me draw her and photograph her.
"I did some drawings of her that really personified for me, you know, the strength and the defiance of the people here which I find moving and inspiring, and I wanted to express that in my work.
"Also to express a sense of her individuality - she's not a statistic. She's not just a number on a news report – these are people here, and I wanted to try to get that across in my drawing.
"Also when I was in Dahiyeh, I decided to try and find a group of children there that I could work with because of course, it's the children that really suffer and have these terrible experiences so early in their lives.
"Through an NGO social worker in Beirut, we went into the heart of Dahiyeh where it had been most bombed and we worked with a group of kids in this playground surrounded by bomb craters.
"From London, I had brought two very big primed canvases with me, and my idea was to do some workshops with kids. We created these two big collaborative paintings and drawings which all of the kids joined in on. It was a great experience for me because I learned a lot about their tenacity and their enthusiasm. And they got to do these great drawings and paintings, which I still have.
"I made a short film of the making of these projects and now I still have these big paintings and the short film, which form a sort of video installation, which I hope to exhibit and sell and then hopefully that money will eventually go back to the very children who made the work.
"So, I'm working on this idea. But I didn't want to take, as you say, everything that they'd done back to England. All of the individual drawings and paintings that they did in the run up to the collective pieces they kept and took back to their homes.
Can you address the irony of the romantic idealist painter dealing with scenes of destruction. How do you reconcile the concept of romantic idealism with this concept of tragedy in a landscape – is it some sort of sick sense of humor? How do you characterize it?
"I guess I'm interested in challenging myself and taking my work into a completely different environment, and seeing how it will work.
"But, I'm mainly just interested in the world around me, and I just paint it. There's no big clever concept here, I just want to express my feelings about what I see. Be it beauty or be it destruction."
Do you worry about that falling into an orientalist perspective and that being abstracted from the suffering?
"The only way to prevent being abstracted from the suffering is to get involved with people who are suffering. I am aware that I might disappear into this ivory tower of this orientalist romance and just the ivory tower of art itself. And I know I may be guilty of that sometimes, but I want to challenge that.
"The only way I can see to challenge that is to get involved with people and to not just think about my voice but to try and give other people a platform to express themselves.
"So that it's not just about me coming here to do what I want to do here, but by doing these projects with kids in Dahiyeh, that it's about giving them a chance to express themselves in a way that they want to. And I just want to perhaps be a medium for that. I don't want to control anything."

We're about to depart for France. Without a lap top, I'll be posting to the blog from internet cafes but I may not even do that at all! It is my honeymoon after all!
We got our photos from KEVIN DILLARD yesterday. Kevin, being an expert photographer, specializing in portraiture, did THE BEST job ever. Our wedding album is incredible!! I'll post a bunch of photos from our wedding when we return to the states in a couple of weeks. In the mean time, check out Kevin's two sites, loaded full of amazing works:

text: This song reminds me of Christmas. Cheap shot, I know. It's by far my favorite Christmas song because it combines so many cultural elements I love. When I used to run a personal website, I once had a survey– which cartoon character reminds you of me (or do i remind you of)? Charlie Brown tied with (Hey) Arnold. When people keep me in mind as they watch Peanuts, they see similarities emerge almost right away. It should probably be scary, but I think people tend to like Charlie Brown, so maybe they'll like me, too. The way this song mixes in Beastie Boys beats, Vince Guaraldi music, and show clips, it drives me crazy. That idea of seeing something that was there all along and bringing it together– I think it's pretty amazing. Another thing that emerges from this song and how the clips are arranged is that you really don't miss people being douchey to Charlie Brown (and him returning it, at times). When I watch Charlie Brown specials around the holidays now, I have an experience like some cliche dude watching football. I'm standing and shouting at the screen, "Yes, Charlie Brown! I get it! I know how you feel!" If you track the degression of Charles Schultz, you'll see that's not a good way to be, but he had these silver linings to him and affected the world in some very positive ways. Maybe one day I'll affect change in that way and make something new and interesting for the world to love.

After four weeks of vacations, I am back home, ready to continue my series of posts converting the samples from Machine Learning in Action from Python to F#.
Today's post covers Chapter 5 of the book, dedicated to Logistic Regression. Logistic Regression is another classification method. It uses numeric data to determine how to separate observations into two classes, identified by 0 or 1.
The entire code presented in this post can be found on GitHub, commit 398677f
The main idea behind the algorithm is to find a function which, using the numeric data that describe an individual observation as input, will return a number between 0 and 1. Ideally, that function will return a number close to respectively 0 or 1 for observations belonging to group 0 or 1.
To achieve that result, the algorithm relies on the Sigmoid function, f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-x)) .
For any input value, the Sigmoid function returns a value in ] 0 ; 1 [. A positive value will return a value greater than 0.5, and the greater the input value, the closer to 1. One could think of the function as returning a probability: for very high or low values of x, there is a high certainty that it belongs to one of the two groups, and for values close to zero, the probability of each group is 50% / 50%.
The only thing needed then is a transformation taking the numeric values describing the observations from the dataset, and mapping them to a single value, such that applying the Sigmoid function to it produces results close to the group the observation belongs to. The most straightforward way to achieve this is to apply a linear combination: an observation with numeric values [ x1; x2; … xk ] will be converted into w0 + w1 x x1 + w2 x x2 … + wk x xk, by applying weights [ w0; w1; … wk ] to each of the components of the observation. Note how the weights have one extra element w0, which is used for a constant term.
If our observations had two components X and Y, each observation can be represented as a point (X, Y) in the plane, and what we are looking for is a straight line w0 + w1 x X + w2 x Y, such that every observation of group 0 is on one side of the line, and every observation of group 1 on the other side.
We now replaced one problem by another – how can we find a suitable set of weights W?
I won't even attempt a full explanation of the approach, and will stick to fuzzy, high-level intuition. Basically, the algorithm starts with an arbitrary set of weights, and iteratively adjusts the weights, by comparing the results of the function and what it should be (the actual group), and adjusting them to reduce error.
Note: I'll skip the Gradient Ascent method, and go straight to the second part of Chapter 5, which covers Stochastic Gradient Ascent, because the code is both easier to understand and more suitable to large datasets. On the other hand, the deterministic gradient ascent approach is probably clearer for the math inclined. If that's your situation, you might be interested in this MSDN Magazine article, which presents a C# implementation of the Logistic Regression.
Let's illustrate the update procedure, on an ultra-simplified example, where we have a single weight W. In that case, the predicted value for an observation which has value X will be sigmoid (W x X) , and the algorithm adjustment is given by the following formula:
W <- W + alpha x (Label – sigmoid (W x X))
where Label is the group the observation belongs to (0 or 1), and alpha is a user-defined parameter, between 0 and 1. In other words, W is updated based on the error, Label – sigmoid (W x X) . First, obviously, if there is no error, W will remain unchanged, there is nothing to adjust. Let's consider the case where Label is 1, and both X and W are positive. In that case, Label – sigmoid (W x X) will be positive (between 0 and 1), and W will be increased. As W increases, the sigmoid becomes closer to 1, and the adjustments become progressively smaller. Similarly, considering all the cases for W and X (positive and negative), one can verify that W will be adjusted in a direction which reduces the classification error. Alpha can be described as "how aggressive" the adjustment should be – the closer to 1, the more W will be updated.
That's the gist of the algorithm – the full-blown deterministic gradient algorithm proceeds to update the weights by considering the error on the entire dataset at once, which makes it more expensive, whereas the stochastic gradient approach updates the weights sequentially, taking the dataset observations one by one, which makes it convenient for larger datasets.
Enough talk – let's jump into code, with a straightforward implementation first. We create a module "LogisticRegression", and begin with building the function which predicts the class of an observation, given weights:
module LogisticRegression =
open System
let sigmoid x = 1.0 / (1.0 + exp -x)
// Vector dot product
let dot (vec1: float list)
(vec2: float list) =
List.zip vec1 vec2
|> List.map (fun e -> fst e * snd e)
|> List.sum
// Vector addition
let add (vec1: float list)
(vec2: float list) =
List.zip vec1 vec2
|> List.map (fun e -> fst e + snd e)
// Vector scalar product
let scalar alpha (vector: float list) =
List.map (fun e -> alpha * e) vector
// Weights have 1 element more than observations, for constant
let predict (weights: float list)
(obs: float list) =
1.0 :: obs
|> dot weights
|> sigmoid

President, CEO and APF board member John Simons shared: "As we build to become the premier value-added protein and sandwich producer in our very competitive marketplace, we are uniting senior company leaders in our new corporate headquarters in the city of Blue Ash. Consolidating these leaders into a team-based work space in Blue Ash, and renovating our existing administrative offices in West Chester into our shared services center, will help us build upon our strong local legacy and further our innovative approach to delight our customers through superior service and great-tasting food solutions."
"The city of Blue Ash is excited and honored that AdvancePierre™ Foods has chosen our city for its new headquarters," said Lee Czerwonka, city of Blue Ash mayor.

One of Marcel Duchamp's reproductions of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", on to which he pencilled a beard and moustache, has sold for 632,500 euros ($750,000) at Sotheby's in Paris.
It was part of the sale of a collection of surrealist works owned by American Arthur Brandt, with 110 pieces fetching 3.9 million euros, including commission.
However, some standout pieces, including a work by Francis Picabia, which was estimated at 700,000 euros, did not find a buyer.
Duchamp's version of the "Mona Lisa" was one of nine works in the sale by the French artist, who is seen as the father of conceptual art.
The "Mona Lisa" works are entitled "L.H.O.O.Q", which in French sounds like the phrase "elle a chaud au cul", roughly translated as "she's horny". It had a pre-sale estimate of 400,000 to 600,000 euros.
The version that sold late Saturday was created in 1964 after the original 1919 so-called "ready made" piece.
The other Duchamp pieces on offer at the auction included "Boite-en-valise" or "Box in a Suitcase", which beat its pre-sale estimate of 180,000 to 250,000 euros, selling for 319,500 euros.
The work is a portable museum featuring 68 of the artist's most famous works, reproduced or miniaturised. Seven distinct versions were made in limited edition between 1941 and 1966.
A painting by Swiss artist Kurt Seligmann called "Buste d'homme", estimated at 60,000 to 80,000 euros, was sold for 181,250 euros, "not far from a world record for the artist", according to Sotheby's.
Among the six pieces offered from artist and photographer Man Ray, "The Lovers", a set of lips engraved in lead and then painted, accompanied by a rope, sold for 81,250 euros, far above the upper pre-sale estimate of 25,000 euros.

My story,
I was born in 1959 one month early weighing 4# 5ozs. I had to spend 4 weeks in the hospital to gain 1 pound and I had my foreskin for 4 weeks to the day before I was to come home. The doctor came in and told my parents your baby boy is ready to go home. He has already been circumcised. (Yes without consent!)
[Mod edit: Did you catch that? Without consent!]
Well, I'm restored now and overcame circumcision; I've told my parents I'm restored and the wrong has been reversed.
I feel whole now, what a great feeling when one overcomes circumcision, thanks for allowing me to tell my story it helps alot to tell others.

June 2, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
12th April 2016
Women take the lead over their partners when it comes to investing with 60% of women investors take the lead in their household when it comes to making ISA decisions says research from the Share Centre.
One in three say they don't have the confidence to talk about investments and the stock market
A new survey by The Share Centre has found that UK women are in control when it comes to their domestic finances – with well over half of female investors saying they take the lead in their household when it comes to making investment decisions.
The survey of women investors* found that 60% take the lead on ISA investing, compared to 28% who rely on their husband or partner, and just 12% who make investment decisions jointly. A quarter of female investors have previously dealt on behalf of a male relative or partner.
Despite being in the driving seat when it comes to investment decisions, only 27% of female investors said they would feel confident when talking about the stock market, although 43% feel they know enough to get their point across. Nearly one in three (30%) say they wouldn't know where to start.
However, adding further weight to the argument that female investors are more confident than they think, 58% of respondents invest directly in shares, with only 28% preferring the more 'hands off' approach of funds.
With lots of publicity around pension shortfalls, it doesn't come as a surprise that 63% of female ISA investors are investing for retirement. Although some are investing for children and for a rainy day, these are secondary goals. Several respondents also mentioned that they treat investing as a hobby, since they find it interesting and fun, with one commenting, "It keeps my brain working!"
Just over three quarters (77%) of female ISA investors "don't trade very often". This fits with the strategy of many long-term investors who 'buy and hold', rather than trying to time the markets by frequently buying and selling. Only 17% trade monthly, suggesting that many are missing out on the potential benefits of regular investing, such as cheaper dealing charges and Pound Cost Averaging (a technique that reduces exposure to falling markets through investing regularly).
The research was made up of a total sample size of 288 female investors holding a Stocks and Shares ISA with The Share Centre. Fieldwork was undertaken in March 2016. The survey was carried out online.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Alan Watts' tag.
Zane Bennett Contemporary Art in Santa Fe has two of my Portals in their holiday show. It's an exciting exhibit of mostly small, affordable work by lots of the gallery's New Mexico and Southwest artists, so come by and see it.
The Portals, though small (19 x 16″) are a significant aspect of my studio practice. Because of their size, the flow of paint is highlighted. There is really nothing else to see in these works but paint, rectangle and space, with two or more layers of painted surfaces suggesting a milky depth. To me, these are little spiritual exercises. Alan Watts wrote (and I paraphrase from memory) that the human being is an aperture through which Source sees itself. The Portals present that aperture in abstract form.

Helping the Youth in our Communities
Our youth are our future. They have the power to bring a fresh, new essence into our world and it's important that they feel loved, protected and encouraged to grow and develop. We feel it is never too late to give our youth what they need to help them realize and express who they truly are.
There are several ongoing initiatives sharing Tao Practices for the benefit of our youth and children. Our first sharing has to do with how Tao Calligraphy can benefit high school students, even those who may sometimes be hard to reach. Our second sharing involves sharing Tao Calligraphy with younger children in a Montessori School.
Tao Calligraphy in High School Classrooms
In 2016, Tao Calligraphy was brought into the classroom at two schools in the Toronto area, as a creative way to help students to relax, release stress, and increase joy and confidence and more.
What is Tao Calligraphy?
Calligraphy is revered in Chinese culture and widely practiced as a way to receive universal wisdom and qi, as well as to enrich life through powerful positive messages. It is also known as one of the most relaxing yet highly disciplined exercise for one's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Master Sha's Tao Calligraphy is a unique style of calligraphy that combines the artistic beauty of Yi Bi Zi (fully cursive script, oneness writing) with Tao light transmissions. Every Tao Calligraphy emits frequencies and vibrations that create a field of light for anyone in its presence. When people meditate, draw or trace Tao Calligraphy, they immerse themselves in this frequency and vibrational field, which can lead to experiences of Soulfulness™. Soulfulness can be described as soul awareness and nourishment, which may enrich any aspect of life.
Master Rosamund Palmer Shares What Happened in the Classrooms.
Central Tech, Toronto
Master Teacher Mabel Lee came into my 11th grade classroom of Central Tech High School in Toronto in June of 2016. This is a high needs school in which many of the students live in challenging environments and circumstances. Exams were coming up and among other things, students can become very anxious, worried and even depressed during this time. I shared with the staff that Tao Calligraphy could be good for reducing such stress.
Master Mabel was so kind, gentle and compassionate to the students. She patiently taught them how to write Da Ai (Greatest Love) in Yi Bi Zi (Oneness writing), using water paper and brushes. She encouraged a few of the students who are generally not confident, who were afraid of failing, and one who would normally not participate at all, to try writing Da Ai, and they did. It was a beautiful time and it really did help the students feel calm and peaceful. A few students even asked deep and profound questions, demonstrating great insights during the lesson.
I then spoke to the head of art who also decided that her students could benefit from a Tao Calligraphy Teacher coming into her 9th grade classroom. On this occasion, Masters Nina Mistry and Sande Zeig taught the students to write Da Ai. Master Nina shares the following about this experience:
It was very fulfilling for me. Many of these kids have had a tough time. They are vulnerable and not always feeling safe or stable. Some didn't want to participate at all in the beginning, but sooner or later, they were all writing Da Ai, and there was a sense of peace and calm that was not there in the beginning. I felt that their hearts opened more.
The head art teacher says she would love to have the Master calligraphy teachers come in again to teach her students Tao Calligraphy.
Bloor Collegiate Institute, Toronto
Also in April of 2017, at Bloor Collegiate Institute in Toronto (High School), Master Francisco Quintero and Master Nina Mistry came to teach Tao Calligraphy to a small group of art students and art teachers. In this environment, engagement was high; there was a great deal of enthusiasm and interest in learning about Tao Calligraphy.
Master Francisco and Master Nina taught this group how to write the words "Tao" and "Tian". Tao means Source. Tian means Heaven. They really enjoyed it. One student liked it so much that he was given a book by Master Sha and he traces calligraphy. He keeps asking for when they will come back to teach more!
The ancient art and increased power of Tao Calligraphy bring beautiful and incredible opportunities for students of all ages to be showered in the field of Tao Light. Tao Calligraphy practices can help our youth open their hearts and souls to the light of infinite possibilities. To share Tao Calligraphy in this way is a profound honor.
About Master Rosamund

As a teacher, she finds the tools she has learned can help her shift her classroom experience. She finds that Master Sha's books, CDs, and Four Power Techniques® are gifts that empower her to serve her students and community much better. She is delighted to share the teachings with others and she is honored to serve
Supporting our Children with Love and Light
Children are our most precious gifts. They bring innocence, hope, and a new consciousness to the planet. It is our goal to offer love, light and empowering service and activities to children, to support them in their growth and expansion, to be the most that they can be.
Tao Calligraphy in a Montessori Summer School Program
In April of 2017, Master Calligraphy Teacher, Nadia (Nadezhda) Rose of Phoenix, Arizona offered her services as a Tao Calligraphy Teacher to local Chinese schools. A month later, a Chinese Montessori school responded and Master Nadia conducted a complimentary introductory class. Based on this, they invited her to officially teach Tao Calligraphy in their summer school program for two age groups: ages 2 up to 5 years, and 5 – 12 years old.
Master Nadia was thrilled. It was an exceptional opportunity to spread the love and light of Tao Calligraphy, especially since many of the students were already learning the traditional Chinese calligraphy, which is the basis for the Yi Bi Zi, cursive style of writing that forms Tao Calligraphy.
Tao Calligraphy is a unique art form and treasure, written in Yi Bi Zi (Oneness writing) and transmitted with Tao Light. Therefore, Tao Calligraphy serves to radiate out the light and love of Tao (Source), to all who interact with it.
Master Nadia eagerly took on the assignment which involved three, 2-hour classes a week for both groups in July and August of 2017. She decided to teach them to write Da Ai – Greatest Love.
Children 2 to 5 Years Old
Since the younger ones were too young to write Tao Calligraphy, she innovatively created coloring materials of the Tao Calligraphy Da Ai with concepts and words that represented love to the children, such as hearts and puppies. She wrote the word "love" in traditional Chinese and in Tao Calligraphy's Yi Bi Zi style. They loved it!
She also had the children trace the Tao Calligraphy. She found that this calmed them quite a bit and helped them also to focus and properly switch gears when necessary. While these young ones were already quite well behaved, the Tao Calligraphy lessons gave them an expanded way to learn calligraphy and truly nourished and supported their happiness.
"The mother of one of the younger girls said she could not believe how dedicated her daughter was to learning Yi Bi Zi. – Master Nadia
Children 5 to 12 Years Old
Master Nadia also came three times a week to teach the older students to write Da Ai in Yi Bi Zi. It took one month for them to learn to write the different parts of Da Ai and then another month to flow them together, practice and refine their calligraphy writing to be able to pass their Tao Calligraphy writing test. Yes! They all worked hard to pass at a standard of 80%! This required that they all take turns writing their calligraphy in front of the room, receiving corrections, tracing more and practicing more and writing again. They had to write their final exams on real rice paper, with brush and ink!
The students gave it their full attention. The parents and teachers were very pleased with the outcomes – seeing the children become more focused, softer and more cooperative. In fact, two siblings that did not get along at all (and often had to be separated) somehow resolved their differences through the practice of Tao Calligraphy.
The teacher, who is Chinese, was quite complimentary of the entire experience. She has often asked Master Nadia to have the students trace Tao Calligraphy more since it seemed to have a positive impact on the children, and she happily introduced Master Nadia to many of the parents.
Parents were genuinely happy that their children had the opportunity to change their mindsets about calligraphy and other things as well. – Master Nadia

Do you or don't you agree with your Personality Color.
I totally know that these two qualities are my personality and I will not argue with it. I definitely am not any other color. There is only one code of Orange that I am not... I am not adventurous- anymore... though, I used to be pre-children. What is your personality?
Personality Color Yellow
While you may not exhibit all the character traits of a personality color yellow, if this is your favorite color you will find yourself somewhere in the description. You may also find you exhibit some of the negative traits, particularly when you are stressed.
If Your Favorite Color is Yellow
- You have a happy disposition and are cheerful and fun to be with.
- You are creative, often being the one who comes up with new ideas - an ideas person who needs others to bring the ideas into reality - you tend to have your head in the clouds much of the time.
- With a personality color yellow, you can be very critical of yourself as well as others - you are a perfectionist.
- You analyze everything, all the time, and are methodical in your thinking.
- With a yellow personality you are impulsive and make quick decisions, but often, out of anxiety, jump in too quickly and rush things rather than taking things at a steady pace.
- You have a strong independent streak in you, and are selective with your choice of friends, keeping a small group of close and like-minded friends rather than being involved in team events or large social gatherings.
- You use your mind to achieve you goals rather than your physical energy.
- You tend to hide your emotions, putting on a brave face in times of adversity.
- You are spontaneous - you are able to think quickly on your feet and make instant decisions.
- You have a modern outlook. New technology doesn't faze you.
- You communicate well on a mental level with like-minded people, but can become bitter and sharp-tongued if crossed.
- You are good at networking and getting information out of others. Journalists often resonate with the color yellow.
- Although you find it easy to make money, you tend to spend it rapidly and unwisely.
- With a personality color yellow, you can be stubborn but dislike pettiness and spitefulness of all kinds.
- You like to think you are intelligent and well educated, with knowledge about many topics.

Personality Color Orange
While you may not exhibit all the character traits for a personality color orange as listed below, if orange is your favorite color you will find yourself somewhere in the description. You may also find you exhibit some of the negative traits, particularly when you are stressed.
If Your Favorite Color is Orange
- With orange as your favorite color, you are warm, optimistic, extroverted and often flamboyant. You are friendly, good-natured and a generally agreeable person.
- You are assertive and determined rather than aggressive - having a personality color orange means you are more light-hearted and less intense than those who love red.
- You thrive on human social contact and social gatherings, bringing all types together.
- As a personality color orange you enjoy partying and socializing and planning all types of social events - orange people are the life of the party, the uninhibited performer! You are often the loud talker in a group.
- While you are charming and sociable you do tend to be a show-off.
- You get great satisfaction from helping others and they find you inspiring with your vitality and positive energy.
- You are tolerant and accepting of others just the way they are.
- You are a people person, motivated by what others may or may not think and always trying to keep up with the Jones'. You need people around you - being alone for too long makes you depressed and you then allow negativity to engulf you.
- You are a free spirit who doesn't like to be tied down - you are not always loyal in your relationships and find it difficult to commit.
- You live your life based on your 'gut reactions'.
- You are an adventurer - you love the outdoor life, camping, climbing mountains and indulging in adventurous sports such as sky diving and hang gliding. You are the daredevil, always looking towards your next challenge, your next great adventure.
- You enjoy being physically active, particularly in the outdoors, whether it's simply going for a walk, or competing in high level sporting competitions.
- You are full of life, always on the go, determined and competitive, always looking for new challenges - and this can lead to restlessness and impatience with others who do not have this need.
- Lovers of orange like to take risks in many areas of their life, particularly in the physical areas. They prefer to explore their outer world rather than their inner world. You may be lousy at housekeeping as it is not that important to you - you love having fun too much and don't like the mundane - a little dust on the mantelpiece is not that important to you. However you love to cook.
- You move on easily from life's setbacks.
- Patience is not one of your virtues and you can be quite forceful and domineering over others when under stress.
- You can be indecisive, inconsistent and unpredictable.
- You may be an unkind practical joker.
- When operating from a negative perspective, a personality color orange can become aloof, egotistical, self-centered and uncaring.
- When feeling fearful, orange lovers feel it in their abdomen, as though it is tied in knots.

For having just won a PECASE award, Dave Cullen is a pretty humble guy.
Polymers, the focus of Yangyang Wang's research, are all around us.
When biological engineers try to genetically modify an organism, they often don't know what most of the organism's genes actually do.
Discovered in 1932, neutrons are one of two particle types found within the nucleus of an atom (the other being protons). Neutrons and protons each consist of three quarks held together by the strong nuclear force.
Of the techniques available for studying the structure and dynamics of matter at the smallest scales, neutron scattering is distinguished by the fact that it interacts with an atom's nucleus.
A fundamental understanding of materials is key to solving a broad array of scientific and technological problems. Neutron scattering is a vital tool in building this understanding, and ORNL facilities are critical to keeping the United States at the vanguard of materials research.
Neutrons have contributed a great deal to our understanding of the universe and natural phenomena, although we've known about them for less than nine decades.

Does anyone give much of a damn about anything other than their own "parsnips" anymore?
I'm thinking perhaps not. As we limber up for the transition between another set of numbers - waiting for the hammer to fall - and I'm not talking about the guy that sez "you can't touch this" or the place in Canada or a football team - then I'm well on my way to losing any kind of faith i have in much of anything.
Oh sure there are some people, and things - but I'm talking about the big picture. And morale in general. I consider myself to be pretty fortunate in some ways and utterly destitute in others. No different from anyone else on that score maybe but backbone and fibre seem to be in short supply. Self preservation surely isn't the be all and end all, or is it?
Today is my annual tussle with "It's A Wonderful Life". Part of my ritual, just like "The Apartment" is on New Year's Day. It's around now that one gets to thinking how it would be to have never been born at all and can see several faces lighting up at the very thought of that.

(reviewed at the Civic Theatre, Chelmsford on 10 May)
It's hard to believe that David Wood's adaptation of The Tiger Who Came to Tea has been around since 2008. The Nick Brooke-Kenny Wax production seems to have been refurbished for the current tour; children who know every syllable and every picture from Judith Kerr's now-classic story won't be disappointed in seeing and hearing it all in three dimensions.
Susie Caulcutt's set and costumes are colourful, and there's an excellent mask and full furry body for the eponymous tiger. Benjamin Wells has the height for the part and carries off the courtly bows in greeting and farewell while allowing us that frisson which such a large non-domesticated feline needs to evoke. Wells is also the somewhat dozy father, who really does need his wife (Jenanne Redman) and young daughter Sophie (Abbey Norman) to work hard if he is to get to work on time, the doddering postman and glib salesman milkman.
We all know that the incursion of milkman and postman are there just to build up to the moment when the tiger insinuates himself into the kitchen, but it's cleverly handled and works. Wood's music and lyrics are a catchy as ever and suit Emma Clayton's choreography well. Norman is a delight as the little girl who loves the toy kitten which has been her uncle's birthday gift but is also fascinated by the tiger's incursion.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea runs at the Arts Theatre, Cambridge between 10 and 13 May and at the Watford Colosseum 11-12 July.

Now, online Roulette boasts exceptional graphics, game play that's sleek and slick, and sound effects that make you feel as if you are in a real casino. HD and 3D games and live dealer Roulette have brought the King of Casino Games straight into player's homes.
Advantages of Online Roulette
Online Roulette Australia real money offers players a number of advantages. The most obvious of these is the level of convenience it offers, as there's no need to go to a casino and wait for a spot at an open table in order to play. Games are also available 24/7 and there's no shortage of winning potential. Add to this the fact that if you are new want to try out a new variant, or are just a little budget conscious, you can play online Roulette for free. This means there's a chance to have fun risk free and just enjoy what's on offer.
When you pay online, you also do so at a far faster pace, so you can fit in more games in a shorter period of time. This means you stand a greater chance of winning, and can do so without any interruptions.
Online Roulette Options
As online casinos do not rely on floor space they are able to host a much larger number of games than their land based counterparts. This means that when it comes to Roulette, players can pick and choose from the variants they prefer.
In addition to the 3 main variants of French, American and European Roulette online casinos software developers have also created progressive jackpot games, multi wheel and multi ball games, keeping entertainment offerings fresh and exciting.
Often, a choice between accessing instant play and downloading free casino software is available, giving players the option of how they want to enjoy this classic casino game on their desktop or mobile device.
Playing Online Roulette
Regardless of which type of online Roulette you decide on to play with Gaming Club Casino for Canadians, you'll find that the game always plays out in much the same way. It's only the rules, bets, wheel or table that differ somewhat.
In every game there will be a wheel, a table and a little ball. The aim of the game is to bet on where you think the ball will come to land on the wheel, which is separated by numbered pockets. One or many bets may be placed at a time, and once the wheel has spun and the ball come to a halt, you'll be paid out according to whether any of your wagers were correct.
Easy yet intriguing, online Roulette is a game that continues to captive players at every turn.
