Bill de Blasio poised to usher in new era of liberal governance in New York
He ran against the city's establishment with "a tale of two cities" theme: The moneyed Manhattan elite have had their mayor, de Blasio argued, and the 46 percent of New Yorkers living at or near the poverty level need one of their own.
I was in NYC last year and it amazed me that I didn't encounter one bum panhandler. You can't go to Chicago without being harassed by bums.The Sun Times has a section called "Homicide Report" since there are about 8 murders a day in Chicago. Well NYC by electing a commie who makes Nanny Bloomberg look like a Ted Cruz, you are going to become the new Chicago.
Please, some of us have to live here.
[[ Please, some of us have to live here. ]]Off-topic, but if one has the skills to earn a living in New York City, one can do as well or better elsewhere.Why not get out while the gettin's good?
http://www.dailyfreeman.com/general-news/20131104/casino-proposition-ny-voters-hold-the-cardsCasino proposition: NY voters hold the cardsThe Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel opened in 2004 on Indian land in Salamanca, N.Y. If Proposition 1 is approved by New York voters on Tuesday, seven Las Vegas-style casinos would be allowed on non-Indian land in the state. AP photoBy Michael Gormley, Associated PressPosted: 11/04/13, 3:44 PM EST | Updated: 10 hrs agoALBANY >> Following months of debate over the benefits of expanded gambling and the rewording of a ballot proposition, voters on Tuesday will decide whether New York state should have seven Las Vegas-style casinos.Two casinos would be in the Catskills/Mid-Hudson Valley, one would be in the Southern Tier near Binghamton and another in the Saratoga Springs-Albany area if Proposition 1 is approved. A New York City casino would be built in seven years, though some casino operators say the law could allow for a New York City casino sooner.Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn't allow specific sites to be chosen, saying that will be up to the casino developers. His budget office says the state will take in $430 million in new casino revenue, with $238 million for education in a repeat of the strategy that approved lottery games. The rest would go to communities near casinos to compensate for public safety and social costs and for tax reduction.Boosters held news conferences statewide touting bipartisan support by local government officials."When you're at 18 percent unemployment, you've lost your industry, the housing market has really taken a hit around here, the potential of 1,500 jobs — it can be a game changer," town of Wawarsing Supervisor Scott Carlsen told The Associated Press in an interview.Wawarsing is home to the former Nevele hotel, the new owner of which hopes to have a casino.The latest Siena College-New York Times poll shows the pro-casino efforts appear to have paid off. After New Yorkers have spent years split over the notion of expanding casino gambling, the poll released a week ago found 60 percent of New York City voters — who are expected to dominate Tuesday's turnout — support the question. However, in that poll they were still split over whether voters wanted a casino in New York City, which would be authorized in Tuesday's referendum.Critics — including good-government groups, the state Conservative Party and the state's Catholic bishops — argue that Cuomo's estimates of benefits are inflated and that the social cost to families and communities will be profound. They also criticized what they called the referendum's unusually rosy, one-side view of casinos.Opponents have little money to combat the multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns of a powerful mix of business, gambling and union interests. And Cuomo had sidelined much of the expected opposition.He assured Native American tribes they wouldn't face nearby competition to their five casinos now operating under federal law. Cuomo also assured no competition to horse racing centers with video slot machines and gave them a chance to pursue casinos. The state Board of Elections also moved the casino referendum to the advantageous top spot on the ballot.If voters reject casino gambling, the law will automatically allow more video slot machine centers.Supporters say casinos will recapture more than $1 billion a year now spent at casinos out of state."Proposal No. 1 would start to bring that money back to New York and create over 10,000 good-paying new jobs in New York state," states one of the statewide TV ads paid for by the NY Jobs Now Committee and featuring a hard-hatted everyman.The key may be in the referendum's wording.The Cuomo administration rewrote the referendum from the straightforward form submitted by the Attorney General's Office. The Board of Elections added disputed promises that casinos would bring more school aid, jobs and tax breaks, without mentioning the opponents' concerns about crime, addiction or the declining casino market that has forced some states to subsidize casinos.An October Siena College poll tested the impact of the rewording. Voters statewide were split on casino gambling in general. But when shown the promises in the rewording, approval reached 55 percent for the first time.State Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long called the casino effort "the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the taxpayers of the state of New York," while The New York Times called the rewording "advocacy, pure and simple."The critical wording was unsuccessfully challenged in court by Brooklyn lawyer Eric Snyder. The state Board of Elections won on a technicality that Snyder didn't file his lawsuit by the Aug. 19 deadline, although the state didn't post the rosy wording until Aug. 21. Powerful Republican Sen. John DeFrancisco is pushing a bill to prohibit rewording."I hope the voters send the Board of Elections the message that it's wrong to stack the deck," Snyder said.
look who is very, very happy tonight...........EJ Dionne @EJDionne 19mBill de Blasio: "Tackling inequality isn't easy. Never has been, never will be." Don't think I ever heard that in a victory speech.Retweeted by Donna Brazile
Maybe the gods have a puckish sense of humor, or maybe they are telegraphing the trouble ahead. Either way, it cannot be mere coincidence that Barack Obama's namesake experiment in left-wing social engineering is crashing just as New Yorkers are poised to crown an ideological soul mate."Don't do it, don't go there," is the only rational response to the prospect of a Mayor de Blasio just as the ObamaCare debacle comes into view. But the race for City Hall proves that elections are not always exercises in rational thinking.If they were, this contest would have started and ended on how New York could continue its 20-year run of remarkable progress on public safety and prosperity. Instead, voters signaled they preferred the candidate who vowed to dismantle the gains and redistribute the fruits. Backwards, march!Sex sells beer and newspapers, but class warfare is going like hot cakes in Democratic politics. Preaching unity while practicing division is hardly a new idea, but there is no denying that the old trick is on a new winning streak.Consider that New Yorkers are buying a pitch almost identical to the one they bought last year, with striking similarities between the president and mayor-in-waiting.Obama and de Blasio are red-diaper babies whose fathers disappeared, and both have biracial families. Both changed their names and expressed enduring interest in anti-American radicals — Obama learned from Bill Ayres and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, while de Blasio cheered the Sandinistas and Fidel Castro.They became community organizers before entering elective politics, where they were undistinguished until riding vague promises of change to the top of the heap.Their triumphs testify to their talents and persistence. But it is no accident that de Blasio became a copycat of Obama, who has redefined liberalism, and not for the better.Under Obama, Dems have moved so far left that Bill and Hillary Clinton were caught off guard, their center-left orientation leaving them dust-covered relics. Oddly, de Blasio started out in the Clinton clan — he worked for Bubba and helped run Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign — but adopted the Obama Way after the president topped 80 percent in the city in 2008 and 2012.De Blasio's direct appeals to racial and ethnic minorities, the unemployed, white women, the young and unions are straight out of the president's playbook. So, too, are his scorn for those not charmed by calls for tax hikes; they also share the moralizing habit of denouncing big spending by opponents while embracing it among supporters.Most troubling, neither Obama nor de Blasio had a whit of management experience before being entrusted with government power and huge bureaucracies. And neither had the wisdom to realize that shooting for the moon to remake a mature, complex society ends up leaving most people worse off, especially those they purport to be helping.It has taken nearly five years for a majority of Americans to smell it, but the stench of failure surrounding Obama's radical ideas is unmistakable. His health-care law's inherent flaws are being revealed, adding to the crisis of incomes and labor participation. Many "ObamaCare losers" will not find a doctor, even if they find insurance.National security is slipping, too, with our enemies emboldened and our friends alarmed at his abdication of global leadership. Most Americans now say we will become a second-rate power sooner rather than later.Many New Yorkers fear de Blasio's utopian schemes will have the same effect here, that he will wreak havoc on finances and the economy and jeopardize the record-low crime levels.It all begins with the NYPD. If de Blasio handcuffs cops, the inevitable crime spike will claim the lives of more black and Latino young men. If the spike becomes the new normal, families and businesses will look for safer pastures, and the city's death spiral will have begun.He will react by freezing prices — rents, for example — and slap more controls on businesses in terms of pay and benefits. Each step will be popular with his base but ultimately fail to help because the laws of economics and human nature are immutable. That is the lesson of Cuba he didn't learn.Admittedly, this sounds like a worst-case scenario, but there is no way de Blasio can keep his promises and also keep the city moving forward. He was resolute in vowing to turn the page on the last 20 years, and the consequences of that mistake will, sooner or later, be felt by every New Yorker.Those counting on his pledge to fix the "affordability" crisis will be especially disappointed because much of the price burden is the trickle-down result of the high cost of government. Everything de Blasio wants to do will only increase that burden.Naturally, there will be winners. Business titans willing to pay tribute will be rewarded with favors, proving again that cronyism lives when capitalism dies.Then there are the unions. Their push for retroactive pay is so unreasonable that it could be the first big test. A capitulation will signal weakness and open the door to endless demands for more, more, more.Don't be surprised. Just remember, you've been warned that de Blasio will do for New York what Obama is doing for America.
It's what Americans want. We are officially a minority, with no protection. Quite the opposite, our mere existence is reason enough for liberals to blame all ills, all failures on us. We are watching an epic tragedy play out before us.
Ray Kelly in talks for JPMorgan job
He's outta here!Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is in advanced talks to take the top security job at JPMorgan Chase Inc. – and he may leave his current post before Bill De Blasio is sworn in, The Post has learned.De Blasio, a sharp critic of Kelly's stop-and-frisk policy, was widely expected to name a different top cop.Kelly's potential position with JPMorgan Chase would make him responsible for security at the giant financial firm, with emphasis on cyber-security, people familiar with the ongoing talks said.Kelly's new job could come with a seven-figure package of salary and bonuses.

March 23, 2015
During his Spring Break, CCU education major Jordan Payne experienced history firsthand. He accompanied a church group to Selma, Alabama for the fiftieth anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march. The event marked an unforgettable moment in U.S. history, when a peaceful march for voting rights turned violent. When Civil Rights protestors crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 7, 1965, they were met by Alabama State troopers who attacked them. The brutality of the day led President Lyndon Johnson to immediately submit a voting rights bill to congress.
Jordan appreciated the opportunity to see the impact that Selma had on the civil rights movement. While there, he had the opportunity to meet many national figures. Pictured above, he was able to speak with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Georgia Representative John Lewis (leader of the Bloody Sunday march) and Rev. Jesse Jackson.
In describing this experience, Jordan recalls, "I got to see President Obama give an excellent speech on the importance of remembering the sacrifice of those before us and continuing our own march. I was able to meet many unique and intellectual African-Americans with whom I share a mutual passion—breaking barriers of racial stereotypes."

The first time I ever walked into a Major League Baseball stadium was August 1, 1982. I was 7 years old. My grandfather, Elek Keri, took me there.
Olympic Stadium was weird and unique for many reasons. Every sign, every hot dog stand, every player introduction was bilingual — French and English, just like the city of Montreal.

Awareness and prevention
Information and resources
For professionals
The foundation is here to help people affected by gambling harm, as well as their families and friends. We are also responsible for fostering greater understanding and awareness of the concept of responsible gambling in the wider community.
Our work can be broadly categorised into the following areas:
Providing high-quality support services for Victorians affected by gambling is one of the foundation's top priorities. We fund a network of organisations across Victoria to deliver integrated gambling treatment and support services for people experiencing gambling problems, their families and communities at risk. Our range of services include telephone, face-to-face, online and financial counselling, advice and information.
Our community education and prevention programs include statewide awareness campaigns, local community education activities, special events like Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, programs for schools and local sporting clubs and work with venues to help create safer gambling environments.
The community education and prevention programs aims to improve community understanding of the risks and potential harms from gambling.
The foundation's innovative research program provides a strong evidence base to help us better understand gambling-related harm. This knowledge is used to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies.
Our research program includes grant funding for established and early career researchers. We also commission major research projects.
We provide information about gambling and its regulation and licence approval processes to the Victorian community through the Gambling Information Resource Office (GIRO).
The focus of our professional development centre is to improve clinical services available for gamblers seeking treatment by contributing to the professional development of clinicians.

VIENNA, May 22 (Reuters) - Raiffeisen Bank International has barely been affected by massive capital outflows from Russia amid Moscow's political confrontation with the West, Chief Executive Karl Sevelda told Austrian radio in an interview on Thursday.
"That hardly affects us. We assume that lots of this money is Russian money that has flowed abroad. So far we are observing none to little of this outflow," he said.
Sevelda said RBI had closed 14 of its 84 branches in eastern Ukraine - hotbed of a pro-Russian separatist movement - and had massively curtailed new lending at the rest although they were still conducting business. He said RBI had no plans at this stage to sell branches there, as it had done with branches in the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula. (Reporting by Michael Shields, editing by William Hardy)

There are two ways you can take these classes.
- You can purchase access to the entire series of 44 Modules by paying a one-time only fee of $499. That fee can be paid on this website.
- You can purchase access to the Module of your choice by paying A$20 per Module. This fee is paid when you select that Module and payment is made via Vimeo.
For those selecting individual classes there are a number of approaches. Students can commence at Module 1A and work their way through all the classes from beginning to end. This will provide a comprehensive understanding of the full gamut of the music industries. Obviously if you take this approach it would be cheaper to purchases the full series access (which provides you with a saving of $381)
Some students may prefer to focus on particular areas and for that reason the classes are divided into streams.
It's recommended that all students complete the Foundation Stream and the Legal & Business Stream though - as these provide important building blocks for later streams.
Each Module has a a short essay question attached. If you choose to do this question you will beed to upload a submission of between 300-500 words. These submissions will be personally reviewed and graded by Andrew Watt and based on these submissions you will receive a certificate of completion, career mentoring and a personalised letter of recommendation that you can use to further your career in the music industries. View the testimonials page to see how these recommendations from Andrew have assisted other students. There is no obligation to do the essay question if you don't want to.Course Log In

'Weekend at Bernie's' (PG-13)By Hal Hinson
Washington Post Staff Writer
July 06, 1989
Usually, Bernie is the life of the party, laughing, pouring drinks, everybody's pal. But this weekend, Bernie is off his form. His eyes are glassy, his energy is low and the patented Bernie smile isn't much in evidence. He seems, well, dead. In fact, he is dead.
And you thought your friends were boring.
"Weekend at Bernie's" is an unfettered but uninspired one-joke movie about a pair of ambitious computer specialists -- played by Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman -- who, while working at an insurance firm, stumble onto a plot to defraud the company out of millions of dollars. Thinking that this discovery will spring them to the top of the corporate pile, they rush to inform their boss -- the notorious Bernie (Terry Kiser) -- who invites them to his house on Hampton Island for the Labor Day weekend to go over the figures. In truth, it's Bernie who's skimming off the top and the invitation is only the first move in his plan to bump the boys off.
Bernie's mob pals have a different scheme, though -- one calling for Bernie to sleep the big sleep. When the boys arrive, primed and ready for fun at Bernie's pleasure palace, they find their host smooching his desk blotter. Richard (Silverman), the nicer of the two, wants to call the cops. But Larry (McCarthy), the not-nice one, doesn't see any reason why this should cramp their style. Plus, he says, what would they tell them anyhow?
The rest of the film is centered around the 1,001 rude and indecorous things Larry and Richard do with Bernie's corpse, and clearly some ingenuity has been used to conjure new wrinkles in this much-traveled routine. Most of them score rather low on the scale. But a few -- such as the scene in which they staple his toupee in place -- are indecently funny, and with Ted Kotcheff directing, one gag is barely completed before another is begun. There's some originality, too, in the notion of setting a black comic farce against the sunny decadence of this millionaire's playground, but the idea is played out coarsely, with too many bimbos and too many drug jokes. The stars -- including, as Richard's love interest, Catherine Mary Stewart -- come off as bimbos too, and if I were McCarthy and Silverman, I'd be nervous. Actors may die a thousand deaths, but being upstaged by a corpse? Now that's dying.
"Weekend at Bernie's" contains some adult material.

What is Medical Treatment?
Children with autism almost always have medical conditions that cause or aggravate the symptoms of autism. Treating those conditions makes the child's health improve. When a child is in less pain he can learn better, have less aggression, communicate, and learn coping skills among many other improvements. Some children even recover from autism through the use of medical treatments used alongside traditional therapies. Recent studies demonstrate that children with autism can have many other health issues in addition to the autism diagnosis (http://www.tacanow.org/blog/many-children-with-autism-have-other-health-problems/)
What is a MAPS Doctor?
MAPS is Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs. These doctors are trained to treat the underlying causes of the medical conditions, rather than the symptoms. To learn more and find a list of doctors, visit www.medmaps.org
It is recommended that parents get referrals from other parents, through a TACA Chapter meeting or a mentor.

Teenager forced to court over litter row after feeding McDonald's chip to PIGEON
A TEENAGER who fed a pigeon a McDonald's CHIP has been summoned to court.
Lauren-Paige Smith has been summoned to court for feeding a pigeon a McDonalds chip
Lauren-Paige Smith, 19, was tucking into lunch when she gave the bird a chip, which it wolfed down.
But moments later, the customer services advisor was approached by a man she thinks was a council worker - and slapped with a £25 fine for littering.
Ms Smith told the official that the bird had finished the chip and there was no 'litter' left, but she was still fined.
The teen, of Cardiff, Wales refused to pay the sum and carried on with her life after the incident, on July 8.
But on Thursday, she received a letter in the post summoning her to court.
It says she dropped litter, which is an offence under Section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act.
The teenager claims there was no litter as the bird finished the chip - but was still fined
Ms Smith said: "I was feeding the seagulls and pigeons some of my lunch when a man who worked for the council came out of nowhere and told me I was littering.
Anybody with an ounce of sense would realise this is ridiculous
"He asked for my details because he wanted me to pay a £25 fine.
"I asked him are you serious? I was feeding the birds - and they ate all of the chips.
"But the fine has escalated and now I'm being hauled into court.
The summons claims the teenager was littering
"There's so much worse things going on in the world. I was only in Swansea because I was doing training for work."
Thes fine has now escalated to £100 and she is expected at Swansea Magistrates' Court on November 15.
Her grandfather Lance Brewis, 66, said: "It's madness. Lauren has never been in trouble in her life and they're summoning her to court for feeding some birds.
The fine has now escalated to £100 and she is expected at Swansea Magistrates' Court on November 15
"This is a complete waste of taxpayers' money. Anybody with an ounce of sense would realise this is ridiculous.
Ms Smith added: "I can't believe I'm being penalised for doing a kind act. I thought it was a wind up."
Swansea Council failed to respond to requests for a comment.

Modeling Long-Term Memory Effect in Stock Prices: A Comparative Analysis with GPH Test and Daubechies Wavelets
Long-term memory effect in stock prices might be captured, if any, with alternative models. Though Geweke and Porter-Hudak (1983) test model the long memory with the OLS estimator, a new approach based on wavelets analysis provide WOLS estimator for the memory effect. This article examines the long-term memory of the Istanbul Stock Index with the Daubechies-20, Daubechies-12, the Daubechies-4 and the Haar wavelets and compares the results of the WOLS estimators with that of OLS estimator based on the Geweke and Porter-Hudak test. While the results of the GPH test imply that the stock returns are memoryless, fractional integration parameters based on the Daubechies wavelets display that there is an explicit long-memory effect in the stock returns. The research results have both methodological and practical crucial conclusions. On the theoretical side, the wavelet based OLS estimator is superior in modeling the behaviours of the stock returns in emerging markets where nonlinearities and high volatility exist due to their chaotic natures. For practical aims, on the other hand, the results show that the Istanbul Stock Exchange is not in the weak-form efficient because the prices have memories that are not reflected in the prices, yet.

Neural networks are setting new accuracy records for image recognition. This page describes how to build a web-based application to use a well-known network, VGG-16, for inference to classify images uploaded by the app's users.
View the live demo here.
What is VGG-16?
Since 2010, ImageNet has hosted an annual challenge where research teams present solutions to image classification and other tasks by training on the ImageNet dataset. ImageNet currently has millions of labeled images; it's one of the largest high-quality image datasets in the world. The Visual Geometry group at the University of Oxford did really well in 2014 with two network architectures: VGG-16, a 16-layer Convolutional Neural Network, and VGG-19, a 19-layer Convolutional Neural Network.
Here are the results:
- VGG-16 also performed well on two other image classification benchmarks: VOC and Caltech. Those results are here.
Using VGG-16 in Web Applications
The first step in working with neural networks is training. During training, the network is fed input data (images, in this case), and the net's output, or guesses, are compared to the expected results (the image's labels). With each run through the data, the network's weights are modified to decrease the error rate of the guesses; that is, they are adjusted so that the guesses better match the proper label of an image. (Training a large network
Once trained, the network can be used for
Loading the pre-trained models for further training is a process we will describe in a later tutorial.
Load the Pre-Trained Model
DeepLearning4J lets you import models from the Python-based deep-learning framework
There are two options for loading the
- Load into
Keras, save and Load into DeepLearning4J
- Load directly into DeepLearning4J using helper functions to retrieve model from
Option 1
Load a model into
ModelImport can be used directly. You can start
Code to load the model would look something like this
ComputationGraph model = KerasModelImport.importKerasModelAndWeights(modelJsonFilename, weightsHdf5Filename, enforceTrainingConfig);
If you want to import a pre-trained model for inference only, then you should
Option 2
Import VGG-16 directly from online sources using helper functions.
For important and widely used neural net models, DeepLearning4J provides helper functions. In the case of VGG-16, we can ask the helper
Code to Load VGG-16 with Helper Functions
TrainedModelHelper helper = new TrainedModelHelper(TrainedModels.VGG16);
ComputationGraph vgg16 = helper.loadModel();
Configure a Data Pipeline for Testing
With data ingest and pre-processing, you can choose a manual process or the helper functions. The helper functions for VGG-16 style image processing
VGG-16 image-processing pipeline steps
- Scale to 224 * 224 3 layers (RGB images)
- Mean scaling, subtract the mean pixel value from each pixel
Scaling can be handled with DataVec's native image loader.
Mean subtraction can be done manually or with the helper functions.
Code Examples for scaling images to 224 height, 224
width, 3 layers
If reading a directory of images, use DataVec's ImageRecordReader
ImageRecordReader rr = new ImageRecordReader(224,224,3);
If loading a single image, use DataVec's NativeImageLoader
NativeImageLoader loader = new NativeImageLoader(224, 224, 3);
INDArray image = loader.asMatrix(file);
Code Examples for mean subtraction
If loading a directory through DataVec's RecordReader
DataSetPreProcessor preProcessor = TrainedModels.VGG16.getPreProcessor();
If loading an image using NativeImageLoader
DataNormalization scaler = new VGG16ImagePreProcessor();
Test Pre-Trained Model
Once your network is loaded, you should verify that it works as expected. Note that ImageNet was not designed for face recognition. It is better to test with a picture of an elephant, a dog, or a cat.
If you want to compare the results with
Code to test a directory of images
while (dataIter.hasNext()) {
//prediction array
DataSet next = dataIter.next();
INDArray features = next.getFeatures();
INDArray[] outputA = vgg16.output(false,features);
INDArray output = Nd4j.concat(0,outputA);
//print top 5 predictions for each image in the dataset
List<RecordMetaData> trainMetaData = next.getExampleMetaData(RecordMetaData.class);
int batch = 0;
for(RecordMetaData recordMetaData : trainMetaData){
Code to test image input from command-line prompt
//Buffered stream reader to provide prompt requesting file path of
//Image to be tested
InputStreamReader r = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(r);
for (; ; ){
System.out.println("type EXIT to close");
System.out.println("Enter Image Path to predict with VGG16");
System.out.print("File Path: ");
String path = br.readLine();
if ("EXIT".equals(path))
System.out.println("You typed" + path);
// Code to convert submitted image to INDArray
// apply mean subtraction and run inference
File file = new File(path);
NativeImageLoader loader = new NativeImageLoader(224, 224, 3);
INDArray image = loader.asMatrix(file);
DataNormalization scaler = new VGG16ImagePreProcessor();
INDArray[] output = vgg16.output(false,image);
Save model with ModelSerializer
Once you've loaded and tested the model, save it using
Code to save Model to file
File locationToSave = new File("vgg16.zip");
Code to Load saved model from file
File locationToSave = new File("/Users/tomhanlon/SkyMind/java/Class_Labs/vgg16.zip");
ComputationGraph vgg16 = ModelSerializer.restoreComputationGraph(locationToSave);
Build Web App to take input images
The following image demonstrates how we presented the user with a page to select and upload or "post" an image to our server. You can test the live demo here.
We used Spark Java for the web application as it was straightforward. Just add the Spark Java code to a class that's already written. There are many other choices available.
Whichever Java web framework you choose, the following steps are the same.
- Build a form
- Test the form
- Make sure the file upload works, write some Java that tests for access to the file as a Java File object, or the string for the Path.
- Connect the web app functionality as input into the neural network
Tie Web App Front End to Neural Net Backend
The final working code is below.
When this class is running, it will launch a Jetty web server listening on port 4567.
Starting the web app will take as much time as it takes to load the neural network. VGG-16 takes about four minutes to load.
Once running, it uses incrementally more RAM in about 60MB chunks until it hits 4G and garbage collection cleans things up. We ran VGG-16 on an AWS t2-large instance, testing it for about a week. It was stable. It may be possible to use an even smaller AMI.

County of San Diego Communications Office
The total of local lab-confirmed influenza cases in San Diego County is outpacing the numbers reported at this time last year, the County Health and Human Services Agency recently announced.
Through Dec. 10, a total of 291 cases of influenza had been reported in the county, 113 more than at the same time last season, when 178 had been reported.
That is why County health officials are encouraging all San Diegans to get vaccinated before the worst of the flu season gets here.
"The flu is very unpredictable but we are seeing a larger number of cases being reported this year," said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. "The best way to avoid getting sick is to get a flu shot."
For the week ending Dec. 10, 2016, the Health and Human Services Agency Influenza Watch report showed the following:
- Emergency department visits for influenza-like illness: 2 percent of all visits (down from 3 percent the previous week)
- Lab-confirmed influenza cases for the week: 61 (up from 40 the previous week)
- Total influenza deaths to date: 1 (compared to 2 at this time last season)
How to Prevent the Flu
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone six months and older get a flu shot every year. The vaccine is safe and effective. It takes two weeks for immunity to develop.
The flu vaccine is available at doctors' offices and retail pharmacies. If you don't have medical insurance, you can go to a County public health center to get vaccinated. For a list of locations, visit www.sdiz.org or call 2-1-1.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reached a framework agreement with Tunisia on a two-year, $1.75 billion standby loan deal.
The agreement, which awaits final approval from the IMF board of directors, is aimed at helping the country's battered economy following the uprising that toppled a decades-old dictatorship in January 2011 and ignited the Arab Spring.
The loan, formally known as a stand-by arrangement, is a line of credit that "would support the authorities' economic agenda aimed at preserving fiscal and external stability, fostering higher and more inclusive growth, and addressing critical vulnerabilities of the banking sector," IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement.
The agreement "will support the implementation of the Tunisian authorities' reform program to promote private investment, foster sustainable job-creation, reduce economic and social regional disparities, and strengthen social policies to protect the most vulnerable."
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

The reforms "deserve the support of the IMF and the international community through financial assistance, policy advice, and technical assistance," Lagarde said.
Plagued by political instability, social unrest and a lack of foreign investment, the north African country fell into recession following the toppling in 2011 of strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
The IMF said in early February that an accord would be reached on a credit facility to support Tunisia's "transition" and help the country cope with possible external "shocks."
But negotiations were interrupted by a political crisis in Tunisia sparked by the assassination of anti-Islamist opposition leader Chokri Belaid, which brought down the government of Hamadi Jebali.
The ruling Islamist party Ennahda has claimed credit for an economic recovery since its rise to power in December 2011. But growth remains sluggish and widespread poverty and high youth unemployment, key factors behind the revolution, persist.

Scalebound Director Hideki Kamiya Says There's "No Way" He's Taking Time off
Kamiya is ready to keep on creating.
This week brought the cancellation of the highly anticipated Scalebound, an Xbox One and PC exclusive from PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya. Following the news, and without an explanation from the developer, word began circulating that Kamiya was taking time off for his mental health.
Kamiya certainly disagrees. The designer took to Twitter today to send out his first message to fans since the cancellation news.
"As you may have already heard, Scalebound has unfortunately been canceled," he shared. "I'm very sorry to everyone who was looking forward to this game."
"Sorry to bring you such bad news at the start of the year. All I can do for you is to promise to keep delivering fun games. I'll work extra hard to never have to let you down like this again, so I hope you will keep watching over us in the future too."
Kamiya then thanked fans for their supportive messages, and had this to say about recent rumors:
And…I took time off for my mental health? …Me!?
No way.
— 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) January 11, 2017
Platinum has also released an official statement regarding Scalebound, though it doesn't clear up much about the reasoning behind the cancellation. Xbox head Phil Spencer similarly chimed in earlier, simply saying that the decision was difficult, but that it was best for Xbox players.

Ever wonder what it would be like to live through nine months of winter at the South Pole? No surprise, it involves a lot of heavy drinking:
Each winter, the few dozen workers at the South Pole research station spend nine months in total isolation: No airplanes can fly in or out until the base "warms" up to 50 below zero—otherwise the fuel might freeze and kill the engine.
... A bored, trapped, and cold population naturally gave rise to a bar. Club 90 South was a simple, wood-paneled joint with a hole in the wall opening up to the outside, where the bartenders would put the Jagermeister to keep it chilled. Massive pallets of beer, wine, and liquor were flown in with the winter crew, and they prayed it would last until them all nine months. The previous year's team, Broughton said, ran out of wine and beer early.
Call it my womyn's intuityn but something tells me I'd be dead from alcohol poisoning within a week in Antarctica. Chinchin!
