From time to time, I get absorbed by questions for no clear reason. This is one of these times – you have been warned.
So here is the question: can I use a logistic map to encode an arbitrary list of 1s and 0s into a single float, and generate back the series by applying the logistic map? I don't think there is a clear theoretical or practical interest in this question, but for some reason I couldn't shake it off, and had to do it.
Just to clarify a bit what I have in mind, here is the expression for the logistic map:
x(n+1) = alpha * x(n) * (1-x(n))
This is a recurrence relation, and has been well studied, because it illustrates very nicely some important ideas in chaos theory. In particular, for x0 in ] 0.0; 1.0 [ and values of alpha between 0 and 4, the series will remain in the interval ] 0.0; 1.0 [, and for certain values of alpha, 4.0 for instance, the series will exhibit a chaotic behavior.
Anyways – so here is what I have in mind. If I gave you an arbitrary float in the unit interval, I could "decrypt" binary values this way:
let f x = 4. * x * (1. - x)
let decrypt root =
|> Seq.unfold (fun x -> Some(x, f x))
|> Seq.map (fun x -> if x > 0.5 then 1 else 0)
let test = decrypt 0.12345 |> Seq.take 20 |> Seq.toList
Running that example produces the following result:
val test : int list = [1; 1; 0; 1; 1; 1; 1; 0; 0; 1; 0; 1; 1; 0; 1; 1; 0; 0; 0; 1; 1; 1; 0; 0; 0; 1; 1; 0; 1; 0; 0; 0; 1; 0; 1; 1; 0; 0; 0; 1; 0; 0; 0; 1; 0; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 1; 0; 1; 0; 0; 1; 1; 0; 0; 0; 1; 1]
This illustrates how, from a single float value, in this case, 0.12345, I could generate a list of 0s and 1s. The question is, can I generate any sequence? That is, if I gave you (for instance) the following series [ 0; 1; 1; 0; 1 ], could you give me a float that would produce that sequence? And are there sequences that I couldn't generate by that mechanism?
As it turns out, any sequence is feasible. If I start from the last number in the series (1 in our case), the value that generated it, x4, had to be in [0.5;1.0], because it got rounded up to 1. But then, x4 = f(x3), which implies that 4.0 * x3 * (1.0 – x3) belongs in [0.5;1.0]. I'll let you work through the math here (it involves solving a second-degree polynomial) – what you should end up with is that there are exactly 2 segments that, when transformed by f, result in [0.5;1.0] (see the diagram below for a more visual explanation, illustrating how to find the two segments that f transforms into a given segment x(n)).
Because we know that the 4th value in our series is a 0, we also know that x3 has to be in [0.0; 0.5], so we can just compute the intersection of f inverse (interval(x4)) and [0.0; 0.5], and repeat the process over and over again, until we have finished covering the sequence and reached x0, and we are left with one interval. Any number we pick in that interval will produce the desired sequence.
So how does this look in code? Not awesome, but not too bad. invf is the inverse of f, which returns 2 possible values – and backsolve computes the current interval x has to belong to, given the interval its successor has to be in, and the desired value, a 0 or a 1:
let f x = 4. * x * (1. - x)
let decrypt root =
|> Seq.unfold (fun x -> Some(x, f x))
|> Seq.map (fun x -> if x > 0.5 then 1 else 0)
let empty (lo,hi) = lo >= hi
// two inverses, low value then high value
let invf x = (1.-sqrt(1.-x))/2.,(1.+sqrt(1.-x))/2.
// interval = where f(x) needs to be
// binary = whether x is 0 or 1
let backsolve interval binary =
let lo,hi =
match binary with
| 0 -> (0.0,0.5)
| 1 -> (0.5,1.0)
| _ -> failwith "unexpected"
let lo',hi' = interval
let constraint2 =
let x1,x2 = invf lo'
let y1,y2 = invf hi'
(x1,y1),(y2,x2) // this is union
// compute intersect
let (lo1,hi1),(lo2,hi2) = constraint2
let sol1 = (max lo1 lo,min hi1 hi)
let sol2 = (max lo2 lo,min hi2 hi)
if empty sol1 then sol2 else sol1
let solve (xs:int list) =
let rec back bins curr =
match bins with
| [] -> curr
| hd::tl -> back tl (backsolve curr hd)
back (xs |> List.rev) (0.,1.)
Does this work? Let's try out, by generating a random sequence of 20 0s and 1s, and checking that if we encrypt and decrypt it, we get the initial series:
let validate xs =
let l = List.length xs
let lo,hi = solve xs
decrypt (0.5*(lo+hi)) |> Seq.take l |> Seq.toList
let rng = System.Random ()
let sample = List.init 25 (fun _ -> rng.Next(2))
sample = validate sample
It does work – up to a limit. If you start expanding the length of the series you are trying to encrypt, at some point you will observe that the encrypted/decrypted version stops matching the original. This should not come as a surprise: we are operating in finite precision here, so there would be something deeply flawed if we managed to encode a potentially infinite amount of information, by simply using a float. However, in the world of math, where infinite precision exists, we could transform any sequence of 0s and 1s, of any length, into a segment in [ 0.0; 1.0]. Pretty useless, but fun.
One thing I started playing with was representing segments better, with a discriminated union. After all, the algorithm can be expressed entirely as a sequence of interval unions and intersections – I'll let that to the reader as a fun F# modeling problem!

Well, last year's F# tour was so much fun, I figured I would try to do it again, in Europe this time. I am becoming quite fond of F# tourism: after all, what better way to discover a place than going there and meeting locals who happen to have at least one common interest – and spread the F# love in the process?
Anyways, if everything goes according to plan, I should be visiting F# communities in 7 different countries in 6 weeks :) As an aside, if you are running a meetup/user group that is somewhat on my way, have a couch I can crash on, and would like me to stop by, ping me on twitter. I can't make promises (obviously the schedule is a bit tight already), but if can, I will.
One thing I find pretty exciting is that all of a sudden, conferences are starting to have very nice F# and functional programming offerings. In particular, huge props to:
At any rate, here is the current plan – stay tuned for updates and more details, and hope to see you somewhere along the way!
Nov 3 & 4: Aarhus, Denmark
Nov 6 & 7: London, UK
Nov 10: Dublin, Ireland
Nov 11: Munich, Germany
Nov 12: Zurich, Switzerland
Nov 17, Paris
Nov 19-23: Vilnius, Lithuania
Nov 24: Lodz, Poland
Nov 25 & 26: Berlin, Germany
Nov 27: Frankfurt, Germany
Dec 1 – 5: London, UK
Dec 8 & 9: Oslo, Norway

If you have ever come across my blog before, it will probably come as no surprise if I tell you that I enjoy coding with F# tremendously. However, there is another reason why I enjoy F#, and that is the Community aspect. One thing we have been trying to do in San Francisco is to build a group that is inclusive, and focused on learning together.
This is why we started the coding dojos a while back: one of our members mentioned that while he was convinced from talks that F# was a good language, presentations were not quite enough to help him get over the hump and feel comfortable coding, so we started sessions completely focused on writing code in groups to solve fun problems. This has been an amazingly fun experience.
During a discussion with my sister last year, we ended up talking about gender inequality, a topic that is also dear to my heart – and, in her great wisdom, she made the following remark: scheduling a meeting at 6:00 PM is possibly the worst time you could pick for a mom. In hindsight, this is totally obvious; it also goes to show that everyone has blind spots. For that matter, it applies more broadly: choosing to go coding after work instead of going back home is not feasible for everyone. So I thought, why not try meetings in completely different time slots?
At the same time, I came across the Alt.NET Paris group (which is pretty awesome); one thing they do is run Coding Breakfasts, which they expanded into Coding Mojitos, and Coding Candies. I really liked the idea, and adapted it a bit for F# Coding Breakfast.
Here is the format we have been following so far:
So far, we have had 4 breakfasts in San Francisco, and the response has been very positive. It's usually a smaller crowd than the evenings, but different people show up, and it has a different energy than evening sessions. Minds are still fresh (well, most minds – I have a hard time booting my brain before 9 AM), there is light outside...

The next step in San Francisco is to try out different time slots. After all, mornings are also not convenient for all, so this week, we will have our first F# Coding Lunch, hosted at Terrace Software (thanks Clayton!). Same general idea, but, you guessed it, 12:00 to 1:00. We'll see how that goes!
So if you are considering starting or developing an F# community in your area, I encourage you to try that out! It is tremendously easier to setup than an evening presentation (you don't really need a venue or a speaker), it has potential to be owned or replicated by multiple people (my dream is to see regular F# breakfasts everywhere in the Bay Area), and I suspect it would make a great way to introduce F# in a company as well…
If you have questions or comments, ping me on Twitter – I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas!

Let's face it, @fsibot in its initial release came with a couple flaws undocumented features. One aspect that was particularly annoying was the mild Tourette's syndrom that affected the bot; on a fairly regular basis, it would pick up the same message, and send the same answer over and over again to the brave soul that tried to engage in a constructive discussion.
I wasn't too happy about that (nobody likes spam), and, being all about the enterprise and stuff, I thought it was time to inject a couple more buzzwords. In this post, I'll briefly discuss how I ended up using the Azure Service Bus to address the problem, with a sprinkle of Azure Storage for good measure, and ended up liking it quite a bit.
So what was the problem?
The issue came from a combination of factors. Fundamentally, @fsibot is doing two things: pulling on a regular basis recent mentions from Twitter, and passing them to the F# Compiler Services to produce a message with the result of the evaluation.
Mentions are pulled via the Twitter API, which offers two options: grab the latest 20, or grab all mentions since a given message ID. If you have no persistent storage, this implies that when the service starts, you pull the 20 most recent ones, and once you have retrieved some messages, you can start pulling only from the last one seen.
This is a great strategy, if your service runs like a champ and never goes down (It's also very easy to implement – a coincidence, surely). Things start to look much less appealing when the service goes down. In that scenario, the service reboots, and starts re-processing the 20 most recent mentions. In a scenario where, say, a couple of enthusiastic F# community members decide to thoroughly test the bots' utter lack of security, and send messages that cause it to have fits and go down in flames multiple times in a short time span, this is becoming a real problem.
So what can we do to fix this?
A first obvious problem is that a failure in one part of the service should not bring down the entire house. Running unsafe code in the F# Compiler Service should not impact the retrieval of Twitter mentions. In order to decouple the problem, we can separate these into two separate services, and connect them via a queue. This is much better: if the compiler service fails, messages keep being read and pushed to the queue, and when it comes back on line, they can be processed as if nothing happened. At that point, the only reasons that will disrupt the retrieval of mentions is either a problem in that code specifically, or a reboot of the machine itself.
So how did I go about implementing that? The most lazy way possible, of course. In that case, I used the Azure Service Bus queue. I won't go into all the details of using the Service Bus; this tutorial does a pretty good job at covering the basic scenario, from creating a queue to sending and receiving messages. I really liked how it ended up looking from F#, though. In the first service, which reads recent mentions from Twitter, the code simply looks like this:
let queueMention (status:Status) =
let msg = new BrokeredMessage ()
msg.MessageId <- status.StatusID |> string
msg.Properties.["StatusID"] <- status.StatusID
msg.Properties.["Text"] <- status.Text
msg.Properties.["Author"] <- status.User.ScreenNameResponse
mentionsQueue.Send msg
From the Status (a LinqToTwitter class) I retrieve, I extract the 3 fields I care about, create a BrokeredMessage (the class used to communicate via the Azure Service Bus), add key-value pairs to Properties and send it to the Queue.
On the processing side, this is the code I got:
let (|Mention|_|) (msg:BrokeredMessage) =
match msg with
| null -> None
| msg ->
let statusId = msg.Properties.["StatusID"] |> Convert.ToUInt64
let text = msg.Properties.["Text"] |> string
let user = msg.Properties.["Author"] |> string
Some { StatusId = statusId; Body = text; User = user; }
| _ -> None
let rec pullMentions( ) =
let mention = mentionsQueue.Receive ()
match mention with
| Mention tweet ->
|> processMention
|> composeResponse tweet
|> respond
mention.Complete ()
| _ -> ignore ()
Thread.Sleep pingInterval
pullMentions ()
I declare a partial Active Pattern (the (|Mention|_|) "banana clip" bit), which allows me to use pattern matching against a BrokeredMessage, a class which by itself knows nothing about F# and discriminated unions. That piece of code itself is not beautiful (just it's a try-catch block, trying to extract data from the BrokeredMessage into my own Record type), but the part I really like is the pullMentions () method: I can now directly grab messages from the queue, match against a Mention, and here we go, a nice and clean pipeline all the way through.
So now that the two services are decoupled, one has a fighting chance to survive when the other goes down. However, it is still possible for the Twitter reads to fail, too, and in that case we will still get mentions that get processed multiple times.
One obvious way to resolve this is to actually persist the last ID seen somewhere, so that when the Service starts, it can read that ID and restart from there. This is what I ended up doing, storing that ID in a blob (probably the smallest blob in all of Azure); the code to write and read that ID to a blob is pretty simple, and probably doesn't warrant much comment:
let updateLastID (ID:uint64) =
let lastmention = container.GetBlockBlobReference blobName
ID |> string |> lastmention.UploadText
let readLastID () =
let lastmention = container.GetBlockBlobReference blobName
if lastmention.Exists ()
lastmention.DownloadText ()
|> System.Convert.ToUInt64
|> Some
else None
However, even before doing this, I went an even lazier road. One of the niceties about using the Service Bus is that the queue behavior is configurable in multiple ways. One of the properties available (thanks @petarvucetin for pointing it out!) is Duplicate Detection. As the name cleverly suggests, it allows you to specify a time window during which the Queue will detect and discard duplicate BrokeredMessages, a duplicate being defined as "a message with the same MessageID".
So I simply set a window of 24 hours for Duplicate Detection, and the BrokeredMessage.MessageID equal to the Tweet Status ID. If the Queue sees a message, and the same message shows up withing 24 hours, no repeat processing. Nice!
Why did I add the blob then, you might ask? Well, the Duplicate Detection only takes care of most problem cases, but not all of them. Imagine that a Mention comes in, then less than 20 mentions arrive for 24 hours, and then the service crashes – in that case, the message WILL get re-processed, because the Duplicate Detection window has expired. I could have increased that to more than a day, but it already smelled like a rather hacky way to solve the problem, so I just added the blob, and called it a day.
So what's the point here? Nothing earth shattering, really – I just wanted to share my experience using some of the options Azure offers, in the context of solving simple but real problems on @fsibot. What I got out of it is two things. First, Azure Service Bus and Azure Storage were way easier to use than what I expected. Reading the tutorials took me about half an hour, implementing the code took another half an hour, and it just worked. Then (and I will readily acknowledge some F# bias here), my feel is that Azure and F# just play very nicely together. In that particular case, I find that Active Patterns provide a very clean way to parse out BrokeredMessages, and extract out code which can then simply be plugged in the code with a Pattern Match, and, when combined with classic pipelines, ends up creating very readable workflows.
My recollection of how this all started is somewhat fuzzy at that point. I remember talking to @tomaspetricek about the recent "A pleasant round of golf" with @relentlessdev event in London. The idea of Code Golf is to write code that fits in as few characters as possible – a terrible idea in most cases, but an interesting one if you want to force your brain into unknown territory. Also, a very fun idea, with lots of possibilities. If I recall correctly, the discussion soon drifted to the conclusion that if you do it right (so to speak), your code should fit in a tweet. Tweet, or GTFO, as the kids would say (or so I hear).
Of course, I began obsessing about the idea, that's what I do. The discussion kept going at LambdaJam, with @rickasaurus, @pblasucci and @bbqfrito (beers, too). So I thought I had to try it out: what if you set up a twitter bot, which would respond to your F# inquiries, and send back an evaluation of whatever F# expression you sent it?
As it turns out, it's not that difficult to do, thanks to the fsharp Compiler Services, which lets you, among many things, host an FSI session. So without further due, I give you @fsibot. Tweet a valid expression to @fsibot, and it will run it in an F# interactive session, and reply with the result:
@sforkmann ["1"; "2"; "Fizz"; "4"; "Buzz"; "Fizz"; "7"; "8"; "Fizz"; "Buzz"; "11"; "Fizz"; "13"; "14"; "FizzBuzz"]
— fsibot (@fsibot) August 25, 2014
@sforkmann ["1"; "2"; "Fizz"; "4"; "Buzz"; "Fizz"; "7"; "8"; "Fizz"; "Buzz"; "11"; "Fizz"; "13"; "14"; "FizzBuzz"]
Note that you need to send an expression, as opposed to an interaction. As an example, printfn "Hello, world" won't do anything, but sprintf "Hello, world" (which evaluates to a string) will.
What else is there to say?
A couple of things. First, my initial plan was to run this on an Azure worker role, which seemed to make a lot of sense. Turns out, after spending countless hours trying to figure out why it was working just great on my machine, using the Azure emulator, but exploding left and right the moment I deployed it in production, I just gave up, and changed track, rewriting it as a Windows Service hosted in an Azure virtual machine (it's still a cloud-based architecture!), using the awesome TopShelf to simplify my life (thank you @phatboyg for saving my weekend, and @ReedCopsey for pointing me in the right direction).
You can find the whole code here on GitHub. As you might notice, the whole TopShelf part is in C# – nothing wrong with it, but I plan on moving this over to F# as soon as I can, using existing work by @henrikfeldt, who discreetly produces a lot of awesome code made in Sweden.
Another lesson learnt, which came by way of @panesofglass, was that if your code doesn't do anything asynchronous, using async everywhere is probably not such a hot idea. Duh – but I recently got enamored with mailbox processors and async workflows, and started initially building a gigantic pipe factory, until Ryan aptly pointed out that this was rather counter-productive. So I simplified everything. Thanks for the input, Ryan!

Earthworms are far more diverse in the UK than previously thought, according to new University findings which could have important consequences for agriculture.
Dr Bill Symondson, of the School of Biosciences, along with Dr Andrew King and undergraduate student Amy Tibble, found that that many of the common earthworm species in gardens and on agricultural land are actually made up of a number of distinct species. Each species could have its own individual roles in food chains, soil structure and ecology.
The discovery was made after efforts to develop better tools to identify earthworm DNA in slug and worm-eating beetles produced some unexpected results.
Dr Symondson said: "We started getting results that were not really what we expected to see and that indicated the presence of several new earthworm species. After investigating this further we eventually found that there are significant numbers of what we call 'cryptic species'. These different species live in the same environment and have the same outward appearance, but do not interbreed and have clearly distinct DNA sequences.
"Earthworms play a major role in the agricultural environment because they are involved in many soil processes such as soil turnover, aeration and drainage, and the breakdown and incorporation of organic matter. For this reason, they have often been the subject of research into, for example, ecology and toxicology. It is vitally important that we know exactly which species we are studying, in case they respond differently from one another – to agrochemicals or heavy metals in the soil, for example."
Dr Symondson and his team studied nine different species of common earthworm and collected samples from Britain and mainland Europe. They found evidence that four of the nine species are made up of complexes of multiple species. Furthermore, detailed analysis of one common species – Allolobophora chlorotica – shows that it is made up of at least three species in Britain and one additional species in central Europe.
Dr Symondson added: "Any further earthworm research will now have to be done with the knowledge that in many cases there are multiple species where we thought there was just one. We need to establish for certain whether the different cryptic species play different roles in the ecology of our agricultural land or have different tolerances to potential environmental stresses such as toxins, parasites, or extremes of temperature."
The research is published in the journal Molecular Ecology, and was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

Babel Siem Reap Guesthouse is a very good option when considering what you get for the price you pay. The staff is very attentive and willing to help at all times. The food in the restaurant is delicious (even the western option which is very rarely good in Asia!). The only bad point would be that wifi connection is very poor and keeps falling all the time. Once they sort that out, it would be a 10 out of 10!

Room was clean and spacious, the small restaurant/bar has a relaxed vibe, and there is a very nice swimming pool on the neighbouring property which you can access for $3 extra. Was also impressed at how the owner seems to be giving back and supporting the local community. Overall it was good value for money, the only flaw was that it's a little bit away from the town centre (15-20mins walk away) and on a dirt backstreet which some may not feel so safe walking back to in the dark.

Rokform Unveils New Products for iPad Mini, iPhone 5 and Showcases Fuzion+ Case
Rokform,a leading creator of innovative and functional cases and accessories for mobile devices, as well as a CES 2013 Innovations Award Honoree, announced today at CES 2013 new products for the iPad Mini and iPhone 5.
In line with other mounting cases from Rokform, the new RokShield v3 iPad Mini case integrates advanced mounting capabilities. The included Easy Stick Remote Mounting System (RMS) allows the iPad Mini to be firmly positioned on almost any surface, while an optional magnet kit with High Pull Rare Earth (HPRE) magnets also lets users conveniently and securely attach their device to any magnetic surface.
The new iPad Mini RokShield v3 provides maximum protection with the shock absorbing rubber outer bumper and high impact polycarbonate frame. The outer bumper can be easily removed for a slimmer profile and the case is also compatible with all iPad mounting accessories, including the best-rated new Swivelmount.
The RokShield v3 iPad Mini case is made in the USA, with an MSRP of $49 and is expected to be available in January 2013.
"CES is an exciting time for us because it gives us the chance to speak with the people who know the consumer electronics industry the best," said Jeff Whitten, Vice President of Rokform. "We're constantly working to make sure the products we design are relevant and useful, as well as good looking. Attending CES is the time to validate our efforts."
Also debuting at CES, the SlimRok for the iPhone 5 is the thinnest Rokform case yet. Designed to provide six-sided protection with minimal bulk, the SlimRok is a two piece slider case made from high impact polycarbonate. SlimRok has an MSRP of $29.
The new RokDock adds to Rokform's line of versatile accessories and will also be announced at the show. The CNC machined aluminum RokDock lets you dock, charge and undock your iPhone 5 easily, and in style, either with or without a case. An adjustable insert makes the RokDock compatible with nearly any iPhone 5 case, not just a Rokform case. Each RokDock is made completely in the US, machined and hand assembled in Southern California, and available in seven color combinations with an MSRP of $99.
In addition to these new products, Rokform will highlight its aluminum Rokbed Fuzion+ case for the iPhone 4/4S, a CES 2013 Innovations Award Honoree. The Fuzion+ is the new and improved version of the original RokBed Fuzion case and now features an integrated magnetic mounting system, giving the ability to be mounted to nearly any magnetic surface for a practical hands free experience. A built-in anti-slip grip also keeps your device secure even when it's not mounted.
Rokform will demo these new products, as well as existing favorites from the current mountable, metal and accessory lines, in the North Hall at booth #6530. For more information on existing products, visit http://www.rokform.com

Hearts for happiness
In a nation of narcissists and voyeurs, happiness is linked to validation from others
Money can assuage the material problems we encounter in day-to-day life, like paying rent, filling our car up with gas or buying groceries for the week, but it most certainly cannot help with our relationships or become something meaningful we devote our lives to.
But I don't think I'm telling you anything you didn't already know.
I've had a hunch that America at large no longer sees wealth as integral to happiness for a while now.
Rather, I think our perceived sense of happiness is becoming increasingly determined by our lives constructed on social media sites.
Generations just after World War II experienced the beginning of mass consumerism as the economy expanded and technology progressed. After the major economic tragedy that was the Great Depression, wealth became increasingly important to Americans.
Since then, we've come a long way in the globalization of the economy and technological progression - and we've realized that goods are no longer status symbols. A significant portion of Americans have smart phones; clothing brands like Forever 21 and H&M make high-fashion trends available on most budgets; and thrift shops have become hip places.
Just one in four Americans still believes that wealth determines success, according to the recent LifeTwist study.
The study, commissioned by American Express, surveyed more than 2,000 Americans. 85 percent said good health is essential to happiness; 83 percent said happiness can be finding time for the "important things in life;" 81 percent think it's having good intimate relationships; 79 percent attributed happiness to a good balance between life and work; and 75 percent cited having a career you love. An overwhelming 94 percent surveyed said that the key to a successful and happy life is being open to change.
In the study, Americans ranked 'having a lot of money' as 20th on a list of 22 possible factors in having a happy life.
According to The Guardian, a study done by the Office of National Statistics in the United Kingdom surveyed more than 150,000 British citizens regarding personal wellbeing. The data showed that 30 of the 34 boroughs in London, the wealthiest area of the UK, were "below the UK average for wellbeing."
With these statistics in mind, it is pretty clear what many Americans and Brits consider as components of a happy life. But there is something to be said for the prevalence of social media in society.
As of 7:35 p.m. on May 5, there were 159,091,789 posts on Instagram under the hashtag 'happy' and another 15,353,170 under 'happiness.' In accordance with the findings of the LifeTwist study, many of the pictures posted are not of material goods or stacks of money -they're selfies, pictures of newborns, couples kissing, cats, fireworks, groups of friends smiling, wedding photos, quotes and food.
One could argue that posting pictures of what makes us happy is a way to share our happiness with others, but that simply doesn't seem to be the case. Just as me taking a picture of my dinner doesn't mean you're going to taste it, my sharing of a picture of what makes me happy won't make you happy.
Instead, more and more people - mainly from the X Generation and younger - associate happiness, on some level, with our personas on social media. We post pictures of what makes us happy in order to earn validation from others. Basically, if you 'heart' or 'like' my picture on Instagram or Facebook, I know that you understand what makes me happy. You validate my happiness.
We share our lives through pictures and posts with others solely because we want others to know about ourselves. We want people to know what interesting things we get up to. I'm writing this column because I want you to read it and either agree or disagree with me - the same way I post pictures on Instagram because I want you to like them.
It is understood by mass society that interacting through social media rather than through face-to-face conversations is detrimental to happiness and human society. And yet, mainstream media and culture have adopted this technological phenomenon. We all hate seeing groups of friends, sitting at a restaurant, each person absorbed in his or her phone - so why can't we put down our own?
According to a study by PBS, "Belonging to a group or community gives us a sense of identity. It helps us understand who we are and feel part of something larger than ourselves." This has long driven the motivation for joining religions or clubs at school. Furthermore, "Researchers have found that people are happier when they are with other people than when they are alone." Being absorbed in our phones removes us from the group we are most immediately connected to - the people surrounding us at a table, on a bus or in a classroom.
Communicating with others through social media is definitely a form of connecting with others, but because we're mediating and constructing our persona through a phone or a computer, we can never be our genuine selves. In conversation, we can often slip up and let our true selves out, be it through a silly laugh we hate, a gesture we always make or the way our face scrunches up when we don't like something.
Online, however, I pick and choose exactly what I want to say, which pictures I want to show, who I respond to or who I ignore - quite literally, I am constructing my own particular version of 'Emma Janicki.'
But we are not just a society of narcissists, picking and choosing what to show. We are a society of narcissists and voyeurs. In an attempt to rekindle the potentially lost art of face-to-face human interaction, we seek out a group to interact with through social media. We post pictures in the hopes people will like them and we like other people's pictures - this gives us a sense of community.
Right now, the community of 'happy' people on Instagram has grown to 159,121,808. Most of them will never see each other in real life, but they are part of a community.
As the definition of community changes and the ways we communicate with others becomes more and more mediated by social media, maybe happiness will become increasingly genuinely linked to our lives online.
But for now, I see social media as artificial communities and artificial representations of ourselves. For many young people, happiness is associated with likes and the number of followers we have. Young people have begun attaching more importance to the value of their handle than on real friendships. By seeking artificial and constructed forms of validation through social media, we are undermining the importance of direct, more traditional forms of contact with other humans.

my baby is 13 weeks now and she's been arching her back a lot lately... These are different from the gas arching back pain.
Is there a baby whisperer that could tell me what could this mean? She doesn't really cry when she does it but she seems to be doing it a lot. She only cries when she goes off the seat from arching her back so much.

Drake is taking his music down under, as the rapper/singer has announced his first-ever 2015 headlining tour in Australia and New Zealand. To make it even more fun, he is bringing 2 Chainz along for the ride! The performances begin on February 23 in Auckland's Vector Arena and end on March 5 at Brisbane's Entertainment Centre. There are only five dates, so hopefully Drake will extend his stay.
The two have collaborated quite a few times already (2012′s "No Lie," the mega-mashup of "Fuckin' Problem" and Nothing Was The Same's "All Me"), so this tour should come easy to them!
General ticket sales will be available for purchase here, beginning on December 1. View all of the dates after the jump! More »

Uncovering Jewish Family HistoryPermanent link
Books about Jewish family histories - like the Jewish families they portray - come in all shapes and sizes. Some chronicle life in situations and places very much like your own family's experiences, while others share stories of Jewish families in circumstances and corners of the world entirely unlike your own.
In The Family, this year's One Book | One Community selection, author David Laskin traces his own remarkable family across five generations and three continents. He sleuths out past locations, uncovers long unread correspondences, and interviews historians, close friends, and newly discovered distant cousins.
With Laskin's family memoir as inspiration, the books listed here are recommendations from the One Book team at Spertus Institute. Like The Family, each unearths the history of one Jewish family, often with surprises discovered along the way.

Influential Religious Right Organizer David Lane Admits 'I'm Actually a Political Operative'
Not many people know the name of David Lane, but he carries a lot of influence within the Religious Right thanks to his role as a behind-the-scenes organizer responsible for a variety of events aimed at mobilizing conservative Christian voters. Lane has played a key role in organizing several high-profile Religious Right events in recent years, ranging from Gov. Rick Perry's "The Response" prayer rally to a series of "Rediscover God in America" events aimed at mobilizing pastors by connecting them with speakers like David Barton, Mike Huckabee, and Michele Bachmann.
Traditionally, Lane has been rather media-shy, preferring to remain behind-the-scenes instead of giving interviews, so it was interesting when he suddenly showed up on Glenn Beck's television program last week to speak with guest host David Brody. And it was even more interesting when Lane openly admitted that "I'm actually a political operative," not a pastor ... which seems to confirm what we have said all along about these conferences and rallies being political events masquerading as "spiritual" gatherings:

From the Publisher"Writing for fans of Dylan, Eastwood, Eminem, and Lou Reed, no less than for readers of Freud, Heidegger, and Nietzsche, Lucy catalogues the ways Derrida has rocked words to their alphabetic core. There is sharpness, wit, and high seriousness in every entry." Peggy Kamuf, University of Southern California
"Niall Lucy has written a witty, incisive, timely and highly topical dictionary that deftly characterizes the most important entries in Derrida's lexicon. The book is chock full of references to contemporary film, music and politics and spares us the tediousness of trying to formalize ideas whose very idea is that they cannot be formalized. In addition to making for an insightful read and a pleasurable ride, Lucy does a good job of redefining what a "dictionary" is supposed to mean. A saucy, sparkling success." John D. Caputo, Villanova University
"Lucy brings and ironic, iconoclastic, and earthy approach to his teask... Entries are cleverly focused so that major terms and concepts get full attention ... Lucy is unpretentious and plain speaking... This is a well worthwhile purchase for the library where Derrida comes as new and rather threatening to students." Reference Reviews

4 Ways to Live a More Thankful Life
- by
- November 27, 2014
- Miscellany
Giving thanks is an important part of how we interact with God. Being thankful to God, in a way, is choosing to be vulnerable, releasing our concepts of control in our lives over to him. While giving thanks often takes place around a meal or in our personal prayers, it's worth thinking about thanksgiving as more than an act, but a state of the heart and constant outpouring. Throughout the Psalms we see countless instances of giving constant thanks with the entirety of the heart. Psalm 86:12 is a great example—"I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever,"—as is Psalm 9:1. Sometimes being thankful is hard. We have days where we can't see the good things God has provided for us. We can be envious of what others have and feel like we're coming up short on things to be thankful for. If we want to live more thankful lives, we need to put a few things into practice.
1. Think of the gospel and evaluate your mindset
Are you too wrapped up in your day-to-day challenges to see the good things God has placed in your life? It might be time to evaluate your mindset.
If you need a place to start, there is no greater thing to be thankful for than the work of Christ on the Cross.
The gospel is larger than your discomforts, hardships, arguments, and short-comings. 1 Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." It's impossible to imagine a more stunning act of love. This, first and foremost, is what we should be thankful for each day.
2. Open prayers with giving thanks
Beginning a prayer with, "Thank you, Lord . . ." is a humbling way to acknowledge God's work in our lives and our dependence on him. It's a simple, yet powerful act of gratitude that's important in any prayer life.
3. Make a daily list of what you're thankful for
Creating a list of things you're thankful for focuses your attention and time on identifying God's blessings and how he is working in your life. Try keeping a list for one week—you might be surprised at how this practice shapes your outlook on gratitude.
Get specific with your list. When you ask yourself, "What am I thankful for?" do you default to broad categories? "Family?" "Friends?" "God?" These are all great things to be thankful for, but what if you drilled down deeper to more specific events, people, and happenings? You can be thankful for your friends, but more specifically, how a particular friend supported you through a rough day and gave you much-needed words of wisdom in the situation. To take this a step further, let others know you are thankful for their friendship, fellowship, love, etc.
4. Quit the comparison game
Constantly comparing yourself to others is an unhealthy habit that's bound to leave you feeling like you're coming up short in some way. We were all created with different gifts, abilities, and life stories. It's inevitable that our blessings, and what we are thankful for, will vary. We are able to have a thankful heart when we focus on our relationship with God and what he is doing in our lives—not what others have or appear to have. Don't let your focus on someone else's blessings diminish yours or your ability to see the good things God has provided for you.
Thankfulness is always in season. If you need a resource to help you focus on giving thanks to God, A Collection of Thanksgiving Blessings is just 99 cents on Vyrso through November 30.
