The paper considers the problem of density estimation and clustering in distributed sensor networks. It is assumed that each node in the network senses an environment that can be described as a mixture of some elementary conditions. The measurements are thus statistically modeled with a mixture of Gaussians, each Gaussian component corresponding to one of the elementary conditions. A distributed EM algorithm is developed for estimating the Gaussian components, which are common to the environment and sensor network as a whole, as well as the mixing probabilities which may vary from node to node. The algorithm produces an estimate (in terms of a Gaussian mixture approximation) of the density of the sensor data without requiring the data to be transmitted to and processed at a central location. Alternatively, the algorithm can be viewed as a distributed processing strategy for clustering the sensor data into components corresponding to predominant environmental features sensed by the network. The convergence of the distributed EM algorithm is discussed, and simulations demonstrate the potential of this approach to sensor network data analysis.

"Everything about this wedding invite was perfect to me. It is simple and elegant. I got it on the pearl shimmer paper, and it came out beautifully. Not sparkly, but just a little hint of shimmer in the design. I am having an outdoor wedding, and I think the design fits with that style wedding. Also, it shipped SO quickly. I got these in the mail less than a week after I placed the original order. So happy with every WPD order I've placed!"
"I was very pleased with the design we chose for our wedding invitation. They were simple and elegant , just what I was hoping for."
"Very happy with my purchase and wedding paper divas as a whole. Customer service is excellent; I spoke on the phone with a representative twice and they were very friendly and helpful."
"Thank you Wedding Paper Divas for making our invitations perfect! Our photo had us in black and cream attire with a sunset background, and we chose the yogurt color overlay. The quality was perfect and the peal shimmer finish was the perfect elegant touch to complete the tone of our wedding we were going for. The communication was much appreciated by all of the representatives; they were clear and helpful. Thank you so much! I got the invites in perfect shipping time and packaging as well!"
"I absolutely love this design. I was looking for something that we could customize with our engagement photo without being overbearing. The image sits behind the type and looks amazing & subtle in black & white. I personally chose the light turquoise color as my wedding colors are Tiffany blue, orchid purple, and silver. The color was perfect and subtle enough to still look elegant. I chose the ticket version because I think it gives it a old time feel. We used a black & white photo of our historic venue on the back which turned out perfect. I added the pearl finish as well to give it a little sparkle which is nice but I think the matte looks good too. We did our response cards in matte & they turned out great as well. The designers were quick to fix the issues I was having with getting my text to fit and also helped with stationary etiquette, which apparently I know nothing about. :)"

iFunny is a mobile app available for iOS and Android opporating systems which features user submitted pictures.
The first version of the iFunny app cited on the Apple App Store was released on April 26, 2011.
Featured Section
The iFunny "Feature Team" chooses 40 pictures a day to display in the featured section. They post 20 in the morning and another 20 in the afternoon. The pictures chosen to be published in the featured section are selected from popular pictures in the collective section of the app.
Collective Section
The collective section contains every user submitted picture. The pictures in the collective section are rated on the like/dislike system, similar to the karma system on Reddit. The collective section is often looked down upon for its lack of quality content. The average picture seen in the collective section of iFunny is a picture asking for likes or asking for the viewers to "repost" the picture.
Midway through 2012, the collective section of iFunny began to become littered with pictures of users asking for others to contact them on the free messaging app KIK.
Frustration between the users posting "KIK Me's" and the "OC" (Original Content) users grew throughout the following months.
On Febuary 5th, 2013, iFunny added an option to report "KIK Posts". The addition of this option cleared the app of many KIK related posts but the occasional "KIK Me" can still be found in the collective section of the app.
Reddit VS. iFunny
Users on Reddit began complaining about users on iFunny stealing content from Reddit which was then getting featured on iFunny. On July 2, 2013 redditor jvm4th posted a gif picture featuring Jason Bateman's character Michael Bluth from the TV Show Arrested Develpoment (shown below) with the tag "MRW my cousin says that iFunny is a better version of reddit".
Removal From App Store
iFunny was unexpectedly removed from the Apple App Store in mid august. The reason for the app's removal is still unknow but user's and various tech sites have posted possible reason's why. PhonesReview.com posted a speculative explanation for the app's removal on September 9th. The review cited that iFunny could have been removed due to a shortage of server space, failure to comply with Apple, or due to the large amounts of child pornography that were posted on the app.
The app remains on the Google Play store and is available to all Android devices. Any user who downloaded the app on their iPhone prior to the removal from the app store still retains access to the app in its entirety, but the app can not be recovered if deleted.
Return to App Store
iFunny returned to the App Store sometime around September 20th. The return was met with mostly positive responses, many of which being included in the featured section. Some users criticized the return to the app store, stating that it's return brought back much of the KIK and spam problems that iFunny had experienced before its removal.
Silly Sea Pig
The Silly Sea Pig is a popular web comic that originates from iFunny and is written and drawn on the in-app Comic Creator from iFunny

So I have been looking at bb7's for a while as I have been using mech discs for years, but a friend offered a pair of tektro hydros that came off his bike for 50.00 for the set. I am wondering if a skuffed pair of hydros would be better than the bb7. What would other options be as good as the bb7?

Still Life
Curated by Jennie Lennick
Exhibition Dates: 4/8/15 – 4/25/15
Root Division invites artists working in all media to submit work for an exhibition entitled Still Life.
Still Life is an exhibition that embraces the tradition of still life, a subject matter which represents the underrepresented by highlighting the mundane. The genre is so benign that the known form of the still life becomes radically contemporary. Focus will be made on artworks that call attention to overlooked artifacts from private and public histories. The exhibition will consist of artists creating artworks directly referencing the still life conceptually and formally with special focus on works that feature food and/or dining.
Still Life is being presented in tandem with Root Division's annual fundraiser TASTE 2015.
Artists may submit up to four works for review.
Deadline for Submission: Monday, February 17, 2015

Beef Hamburger Steak With Sauteed Summer Squash and Refried Beans
The other night I needed a fast meal — more than that, I needed to put more fiber in front of my hubby that day…It was good enough together that he didn't even go get a bun to have with his hamburger steak!

Grant Writer Interview
I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Ryerson University in March 2012.
applied using the Ryerson career centre portal. few weeks later, got a phone call and called in for an interview at the Pod/Library building. I was interviewed in a very small, cramped office by two employees in the Health Promotion department
The interview involved a spontaneous written test at the end in which they asked me to go online and write 1,000 words of a hypothetical research proposal. So have an idea for a health-related research proposal in mind.
Impressions of workplace: very cluttered and disorganized. They seemed somewhat unprepared to be doing interviews. When I walked in, was not offered water or any beverage. They did not offer to take my coat from me. I was left trying to find a place to put it. Not impressed.

can't scroll
gabriell_gwJuly 14, 2012
I have a new HP lap top.With emails of a certain length I am not able to scroll to see the hidden body of text.My granddaughter told me to left click twice and "drag across" but this does not work.What should I do? Thanks for any help.I asked a question once before and it put me on the right path.
Are you using the touchpad on the laptop or a separate mouse? There's something about scrolling on HP laptops that can be tricky. If you're using the touchpad, there should be a line on the right side that you slide your finger down. This may vary in different models, so if you told us your HP model, it would be helpful perhaps.
