In darkness bound, he wanders solemnly,
and seeks to find some rest and hope this night.
He walks to free himself of Emily,
and to, at last, forget their final fight.
The cold: unmatched to purge his wrath, for in
his bitterness the deadly sin takes root,
the snow but the foundation's shadow thin.
The less the better seen, as when beneath
his feet a man knows not the mountain, yet
a pebble sees, so his chattering teeth
are understood while truth is still unmet.
His body needs comfort and warmth to live,
just so his soul must now learn to forgive.

I know you are out there but no one seems to be reaching out to you. Left out in the cold as everyone huddles around the wives who have lost their husbands… but what about the husbands who had to say goodbye to their wives? You are men and so the world expects you to suck it up and keep moving, keep working, work through the pain. Few see you cry and when they do you quickly pull yourself back together because that's what you expect of yourself. But the truth is, your heart is no less broken and you hurt no less than a widow. But you are passed by more quickly. Your pain is dismissed more quickly… and in many ways that makes the pain sink that much deeper and the loneliness hurt that much more.
For all the men who have lost the love of their lives, I see you there. I see you breaking. I hear you cry and I know the tears fall like rain when no one is looking. It's ok to cry. It's ok to hurt more than you've ever hurt before. I'm so sorry this is the hand you've been dealt, it's not fair. You are carrying the world on your shoulders and your back is getting tired. You have kids and now you have to be dad and mom, but no one can replace mom. You don't have kids and now you wish you had that little version of her running around just so you could hold onto her longer.
Everything I talk about in my writing is for men and women, the widowed, the bereaved parents, anyone who knows this pain… but only 8% of my readers are men. Men are coping differently, finding other resources I suppose, maybe no resources at all. Maybe it's because I call my blog Mommy Is A Widow, and men are not mommies. I don't know what it is but I want you to know that I get it. I know the pain. Your challenge is different but your pain is the same. I hope that if nothing else, this can bring just a tiny bit of comfort to you. You are always welcome here.

The main goal of this Ph.D. thesis is to improve locations of earthquake hypocenters and to resolve heterogeneous crustal structure and its effects on travel times. The data and case studies are drawn from the Icelandic national SIL network and the temporary NICE project deploy-ment in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone. Iceland presents complex tectonics and active volcanism, consequences of its position astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the European and North American plates and on top of a melting anomaly in the mantle below. Studies focused on characterizing the seismicity and the crustal structure are prerequisites for further seismologi-cal studies in Iceland, e.g., on seismic sources, the evolution of volcanic systems, activity on seismic faults and seismic hazard, among others.
Different methods have been explored. First, we estimated empirically travel-time functions of seismic waves and their uncertainties for 65 stations in the Icelandic permanent network (SIL) using arrival times. The estimated travel-time functions and uncertainties were used to relocate the complete catalog applying a nested-search algorithm to this non-linear problem. The clearest changes in locations compared to the SIL solutions were obtained in the peripheral areas of the network, in particular in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone (North Iceland) and on the Reykjanes Peninsula (South Iceland).
Relocations with empirical travel times were used complementary with constrained earth-quake relocation and the collapsing methods of Li et al. [2016] to study the seismicity in the Hengill area (South Iceland). Patterns in the seismicity in the final locations reproduce lin-eations previously found in relative relocations in the area. The brittle-ductile transition was estimated, obtaining a smaller depth in the northern part of the region, dominated by volcanic processes, compared with the south, controlled by tectonic processes. Furthermore, the Hengill fissure swarm that hosts two large geothermal power plants, was found to have deeper penetrat-ing earthquakes than adjacent volcanic areas, presumably because it is more effectively cooled.
Local earthquake tomography was used to solve simultaneously for earthquake location and velocity structure in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone, using data from the temporary network installed during the North ICeland Experiment, and data from the permanent SIL network. 3-D velocity models for P- and S-waves were obtained for the area and used to relocate the complete SIL catalog. The results demonstrate significant structures associated with the different branches of this complex transform region, e.g. low velocities along the Husavík-Flatey Fault (HFF), penetrating to about 10 km depth. Low Vp/Vs ratios were also mapped at depth along the HFF indicating presence of highly compressible fluids in the middle crust. In general, the seismicity pattern was shifted towards the surface from SIL locations and clarified in its lateral distribution. This highlighted a zone of concentrated deformation in the Tjörnes Microplate, which intersections with the two main strands of the overall zone coincide with changes in their geometry and character.

Download the complete WASHU game notes by clicking HERE (PDF).
• UPCOMING WashU swaps locations with last weekend's University Athletic Associaiton (UAA) opponents and returns home. The Bears will host No. 20 Carnegie Mellon University on Friday, Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. and Case Western Reserve University on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. WashU pulled out a pair of clutch victories against both the Tartans and Spartans this past weekend, utilizing strong fourth quarters in which the Bears outscored the opposition 53-39.
• UAA PLAY WashU enjoyed a 2-0 weekend of UAA play on the road, defeating CMU 78-72 on Friday before a 92-79 win over CWRU on Sunday. With the two victories, the Bears moved into a tie for first place with University of Chicago and University of Rochester. WashU, Chicago and Rochester have 5-2 UAA records.
• NATIONAL POLLS WashU currently ranks No. 9 in the D3hoops.com poll and No. 7 in the latest Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) poll. CMU dropped from D3hoops.com top-10 to No. 20 after a 0-2 weekend, losing to WashU on Friday and Chicago on Sunday.
• NEW LEADING SCORER Sophomore Madeline Homoly moved into the WashU scoring lead after 51 points last weekend, including a career-best 33 against CWRU on Sunday. Homoly now averages 12.4 points per game and is joined by Jenn Dynis (11.4) and Natalie Orr (11.1) as the trio of Bears to average in double-figures.
• STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE According to the winning percentage of WashU opponents, the Bears possess the third toughest schedule in all of Division III. WashU's opponents possess a 0.657 winning percentage. The number one and two spots on the list are WashU opponents, Illinois Wesleyan (0.685) and Chicago (0.663).
• QUALITY POSSESSIONS WashU possesses one of the top offenses in the country and the attack is boosted by a Bears knack to maintain possession. The Red and Green have given the ball away the third fewest times in the country (223). Combined with the Bears average of 17.7 assists per game, WashU has the second best assist-to-turnover ratio (1.43) in the country. The Bears offense also possesses the ninth best field-goal percentage (45.3). WashU's 77.7 points per game average is also 12th best in Division III.
• HISTORY WashU leads the all-time series with CMU, 55-3, including a 48-game winning streak. The Bears also hold the series lead against CWRU as well with a 46-1 mark. The Bears have won eight straight games against the Spartans.
• Following a 0-2 weekend, CMU fell from first place all the way down to fourth with a 4-3 UAA record (15-3 overall).
• Senior Lisa Murphy is the engine that propels the CMU offense. The senior is leading the country in points per game (25.7), field-goal percentage (81.5) and is second in free throws made (128). She is 54 points shy of bypassing NYU's Marsha Harris to becoming the all-time UAA leading scorer. She is also on pace to break the NCAA Division III field-goal percentage record of 75.2% in which she set last year.
• The Tartans have the highest scoring duo within the UAA in Lisa Murphy (25.7) and Jackie Hudepohl (19.4). On Friday against the Bears, Murphy and Hudepohl combined for 57 of the Tartans 72 points in WashU's 78-72 win. The duo collectively made 21-of-30 shots (70.0%) while the rest of the team made 4-of-34 (11.8%).
• In the loss to the Bears, CMU used just two players off the bench combining for nine points while WashU's reserves totaled 29 points. A total of 12 Bears entered the game. WashU held CMU's third leading scorer, Makayla Filiere (9.7), scoreless for the first time in her career.
• Expected starting lineup: Katharine Higgins, Jenn Mayberger, Jackie Hudepohl, Makayla Filiere and Lisa Murphy.
• Kara Hageman was named USBWA Division III National Player of the Week after averaging 34.5 points per game. The junior forward set a school record with 41 points during CWRU's 92-79 loss to the Bears on Sunday. Hageman also scored 28 points in a victory over Chicago on Friday, Jan. 27.
• Hillary Hellmann is leading the country in three-point field-goal percentage (50.0). She also ranks seventh in threes made per game (3.17) and 10th in total threes made (57). WashU held her to three points on Friday as she shot 1-of-9 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free throw line.
• Kara Hageman (20.7 ppg, 6.4 rpg), Hillary Hellmann (19.4 ppg) and Jess McCoy (14.9 ppg, 7.3 rpg) lead the team in scoring. The Spartans average 76.8 ppg which is the 17th best mark in the country.
• Expected starting lineup: Kara Hageman, Alexis Amburgey, Alicia Marie Gonzales, Jess McCoy and Hillary Hellmann.

Hello everyone! A really old eyeshadow review today Almay just redid their entire eyeshadow line so I can't speak for the quality now but this was their eyeshadow quality before the line-up change.
Description: Swatches were done quite heavily (3 swipes) for the color payoff shown in the photo.
Review: I found that the shades were not as pigmented as I thought they were (it decieved me!). But the shades are very wearable for an everyday look and since they are not so pigmented it is great for days where I don't want to put effort into my eyeshadow. The powders are actually kind of chalky if you pick up too much a flat shader brush as ideal and using small strokes to pick up the product resulted in not so much fall-out. Packaging is nice clear plastic and the designs on the shadows just make it appealing to me. Overall, not a very good palette so I'm glad it's gone from the original line their new line products are much more pigmented.
Cost: $3CDN @ London Drugs (this palette style is not sold anymore)
Would I recommend this product? Since this product style is discontinued I won't recommend nor recommend as it doesn't exist.

The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) in Hong Hong
Today, we live in a politically and ethically complex world that is both integrated yet interdependent, where decisions taken in one part of the world can, and do, affect developments in another. Within this context, The Royal Commonwealth Society in Hong Kong is as important today as ever. It is an organisation that interfaces two enormous but widely different communities, China and the Commonwealth.
- The Modern Commonwealth is a free association of 52 independent nations with historical links and shared values of democracy, rule of law, tolerance and diversity.
- With a population of 2.3 billion (nearly a third of the world's total) and the majority under 25, it represents a very strong soft-power network, which the Queen has called, 'A Platform for the Future'.
- One Family, One Language – it is defined by the Commonwealth Charter, biennial Heads of Government Meetings (CHOGM) and quadrennial Commonwealth Games.
- RCS/HK Branch brings together citizens of Commonwealth countries and their Consuls General in Hong Kong. It organizes speaker lunches and interesting events (like Out of the Blue); an annual Charity Ball; Commonwealth Day celebrations in March every year, and an annual Essay Competition.

She Was The Universe
"Man is weaker and baser by nature than Thou hast believed him!
By showing him so much respect, Thou didst, as it were, cease to feel for him, for Thou didst ask too much from him - Thou who hast loved him more than Thyself?
Respecting him less, Thou wouldst have asked less of him.
That would have been more like love, for his burden would have been lighter."
[The Grand Inquisitor to Jesus, in Fjodor Dostoevsky "The Brothers Karamazov"]
I had a dream which was not all a dream
The sun was extinguished
And the stars wandered darkling in space
Rayless, and pathless
And the icy Earth swung blind and blackened in the moonless air
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation; And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light: They did live by watchfires
And the thrones of crowned kings
Habitations of all things which dwell
Were burnt for beacons
Oh Lord, I lack the strength
To turn and leave you
There's no confidence
In my hesitation
Happy were those who dwelt in the eye of the volcanoes
Their mountain-torch: A fearful hope was all the world contained
Forests were set on fire
But hour by hour they fell and faded
The crackling trunks extinguished with a crash - And all was black
The brows of men by the despairing light wore an unearthly aspect
The flashes fell upon them; Some lay down and hid their eyes
And some did rest
Their chins upon their clenched hands, and smiled
And vipers crawled
And twined themselves among the multitude
Hissing, but stingless
They were slain for food
A meal was bought with blood
And each sate apart
Gorging himself in gloom: No love was left

Although New York Fashion Week officially starts Thursday, the shows are well underway. Among the first to capture attention and a personal favorite is the American brand Rachel Comey; a brand that has a care for women and her world. I personally believe that the designers themselves are an extension to their brand. So for me what they do, say and don't is important because I see myself, my time, my space and money as sacred investments. Most recently, I read a piece on the brand that just made me more enamored of it, Rachel Comey Knows What Her Woman Wants--completely head over heels on her initiative. I agree, there definitely comes a time in a woman's life that one just has to take authority.
For Spring/Summer 2018, she inspires me further on relaxed modernity, my favorite silhouette by the way. If you recall a post back, we talked about shirt-dresses and their longevity throughout the decades, you can see a maxi option within the collection in a stripe pattern. Comey frills us with a mixed of materials such as a sweatshirt style top styled with a fringe evening-esque skirt. You can see that in other styled looks, so it's sure making a point, love it! I don't think evening dressing has looked this comfortable either, that last look: crinkle transparency over jeans, like yes! Also, hands-up for the age diverse of models used, something that should be the norm and not to have to point out. See the full collection here.

I have been setting expressions to music and rhythmic chants for decades with excellent results.
What did you do today? is an action song for kids, which, through repetition, teaches the question form in the past simple tense, the answer with relative prepositions, shop vocabulary, infinitive of purpose and prepositions with transport.
The idea is that you fix these expressions through repetitive chants so that they flow from your mouth spontaneously when you are speaking, without having to think.
After having written and recorded a video of the song I realised it contradicts my lessons on the Present Perfect Tense always being used with 'today', 'this week' etc. and according to the grammar books you shouldn't use 'today' with the Simple Past Tense. This proves that a language is alive and more flexible than the rigid rules of a grammar book because the sentence is completely natural and widely used. The explanation lies in the fact that this question is asked at the end of the day when the events have already taken place and therefore are considered to be in a period which is completely finished, therefore using the Simple Past Tense despite the word 'today'.
I hope you have fun with this repetitive chant.
You can download the worksheet to the song below.
Hope it's useful!

Despite the growth of alternate communication means like Chat applications (Whatsapp, Slack, Snapchat), Social web-sites (Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter), communicating via icons (Emojis) and images (Instagram), the good old Email is not yet dead. Almost all companies still rely on Email to not only run their business, but also to do marketing to their customers. This, in itself, has evolved into a field of study. The main concern facing any marketing manager is to control the amount of email to send to their clients so that the customer stays interested in the company and does not unsubscribe because of too much junk mail. So the balance between too much mail and too little mail is very sensitive.
We can employ data science to solve this problem. The problem solved here is taken from a real company's data and was presented to me as a test. So I thought this is good problem to solve and demonstrate the use of data science. Emailing customers too frequently can cause them to unsubscribe from the email list. Sending them too many mails will lead them to not open emails that can cause promotional emails to be sent to their junk mailbox. The goal is to find out the optimum amount of emails to be sent to each customer so that they stay interested over time. Note that this number is different for every customer. We want to predict a customer's propensity to open an email in the future based on observed historical trends as well as their propensity to unsubscribe if they do open the email.
Before I start describing the dataset, you may be inclined to see it first. To introduce some variety in my solution approach - and since most of the data is tabular in fashion, I have decided to use a relational database (MySQL) to store the data, and query it, using JOINs if necessary to generate my feature set. You can download the entire dump of the MySQL database and restore it on your local machine to get started.
We have data in 5 tables as follows:
Let me describe in detail what each column in the given tables mean.
|Data Type
|Unique identifier of a campaign by date of send.
|Type of campaign (email send), where "Heavy Promo", "Light Promo", "Evergreen" (No Promo) refer to the magnitude of promo offer, and "Primary Messaging"/"Secondary Messaging" refer to the degree to which the promotion is messaged within the email content.
|Data Type
|Unique identifier of a customer
|Date customer's email was acquired as stored in current email system
|Desciption of where the customer registered their email
|Data Type
|Unique identifier of a customer
|Send date of campaign
|0 or 1, indicator of whether or not a given riid opened a given campaign
|Data Type
|Unique identifier of a customer
|Send date of campaign
|0 or 1, indicator of whether or not a given riid opened a given campaign and unsubscribed
|Data Type
|Unique identifier of a customer
|Name of the event the record is associated:
|Date an event was recorded.
|Different aggregate measures depending on the associated event:
Before we jump into a predictive model building, let us analyze the data to understand it better.
As a first exercise, let us attempt to detemine the aggregate open rate. In other words, what percentage of people actually opened their email. This is a very simple ratio determined from the count of emails opened vs. count of email. We can do this in one SQL statement as follows:
The answer is about 18%.
Of the people who opened their email, how many got irritated and unsubscribed? Again, this is a simple SQL query on the "opens" table as follows:
The answer is about 1.4%.
How about calculating the open rate based on launch Id. Since one mail is sent every day, we can group the results by launch date and expect the same result. This is a simple group by query as follows:
The answer lies between 11% and 42% that happened only once when mails sent were too low.
We could also group the results based on other criteria, like sub_source. This query will be a bit longer, but here it is as given below. Note that we are using the WITH statement available in MySQL that is a more recent addition to the MySQL syntax.
A ratio is expected to average 18% or so, and the results look plausible.
Another similar criteria to group the results is month of acquisition. Here is the query for that.
The user data appears to have some problems (NULL values) for earlier dates. This was confirmed as those were reported to have been migrated from a legacy email system, and were not completely correct.
So far we had no need to use data-science tools as most of the analysis was simple enough to handle through SQL. Let's try to do a slightly more involved analysis. Before a data scientist attempts to do some prediction, he/she has to work with some conjectures or hypotheses. These are theories based on intuition and one must be able to either prove or disprove it using derivation from the data.
One of the assumptions is that a customer's propensity to open an email as well as their propensity to unsubscribe (after opening the mail) may be related to their tenure. To analyze this theory we need a dataset that has the tenure (difference between the mail's send date and the acquisition date) alongside for each record in the "send" table.
How do we get the tenure in the "sends" table? This is done through a simple JOIN statement as follows:
The statement above prints only 10 rows, but the tenure has been elegantly inserted as an extra column in this table. If our theory is correct, there should be a positive relationship between the "opened" state and tenure. Since the "opened" state is a discrete variable which takes only two values (0 and 1), we may be able to show a corelation if we plot a histogram of opened state against tenure range.
Since I have made my hands dirty with SQL, let me become a bit bold and try to write a SQL query to plot a side-ways histogram using just SQL. Yes, you were expecting me to write a Python program or an R program to draw a beautiful histogram, but I am feeling a bit lazy now, and if SQL can give me a decent graphic, why not?
This SQL query needs some explanation. In the internal SQL query "
select sends.riid, sends.campaign_send_dt, sends.opened, user_info.aq_dt, user_info.sub_source,
DATEDIFF(sends.campaign_send_dt, user_info.aq_dt) AS tenure from sends left join user_info
ON sends.riid = user_info.riid where opened = 1" we are just creating a joined table with only the entries that were opened. Then the rest of query is creating buckets with a range of 100 in each bucket. The variable "COUNT" is the count of entries in each bucket and the "bar" is a poor man's histogram.
We see that if the tenure is low, then the person is more likely to open the email. Those with a higher tenure tend not to open their email. This may be explained by the fact that interest in the email dwindles with time - which I believe is natural to expect.
A related problem to the above is to figure out how tenure affects someone's likelyhood of unsubscribing. For that we can use the "opens" table and do a similar query on the "optout" column. This will tell us if people who have a long tenure are more likely to unsubscribe or not. To continue the tradition, I am going to write this query in SQL again.
It is very clear from the histogram above that people with less tenure tend to opt out of email campaigns quickly. Those whose have been a subscriber for a long time will hesitate to opt out of email campaigns. The highest rate of opt-outs come between the first 200 days or so.
I am finally going to solve a real data-science problem with this data-set. For those of you who believe that I have been dilly-dallying with SQL all this while, this would be interesting.
We would like to predict the likelihood that a customer will open an email sent on a given day in the future for a given campaign type. Is it also possible to predict if the person who opens the email will unsubscribe? Let us try first create the dataset and then fit a model on that dataset.
To solve this problem, I would like to create a dataset that has the following columns.
Most of the information is in table "events", but it needs to be augmented with additional information from other tables. To do so we have to do a few more joins. Ideally I would like to do everything in one join statement as follows:
But alas, the datasize is too big to do this in one shot. We have about 8.3 million records in the events table! So we have to break up this query into several parts and do some indexing in between to make it work faster. Here is the trick.
We would like to do the joins in three stages - joining one table at a time and saving the result to a different table. (This is similar to the MapReduce paradigm where each MapReduce step writes its result to the disk before the next stage begins). Here are the steps to do it for this problem. We are creating three tables called dataset1, dataset2 and dataset3 - each of them them bigger than the previous one and pulling in some columns from different tables. Our final table will be dataset3 which will be used for the machine learning exercise.
Here is how you will create the first dataset.
Notice that we have the same number of rows in table dataset1 as the events table. The next stage includes more data from the campaign_types table
Before we do the final join, it is necessary to make the database efficient as this join is quite exhaustive. So let's create some indices to make the database queries efficient. I am going to create four indices as follows:
The final join brings in data from the opens table into this composite table.
It turns out that the data came out in a slightly different format than what I had expected, but it is workable. Here is a small sample of the resulting table which will be our starting dataset for the rest of the machine learning exercise.
I am going to take one more step with processing the data to make my life simpler for the following step. I am about to use a standard machine learning package to process my data, and so I am going to export the entire dataset to a file format that is friendly to most packages. Yes, it is possible to read the data from the database directly (and I will show it in a different article some day), but at the moment I want to solve this problem with the tools already availble in the machine learning package without writing anything complicated.
Therefore I am going to export the entire table into CSV format so that I can read it from a file. The export is done simply through the following statement:
Note that I am only including the records where the camptype and optout variables have either a 0 or a 1 (not NULL). The resulting file looks like this:
You can download the CSV file to look at it in its entirety.
With the dataset thus created, we are now ready to fit a machine learning model over it. We used to have 8.3 million records in this dataset, but after eliminating all those records that have either a NULL camptype or a NULL optout field, the resuting records amount to only 186,584 records. Our job is to make a prediction based on that. I would like to be able to fit a machine learning model using the entire dataset. For that I am going to use SPARK as my tool-set. Since the output is binary (i.e. 0 for open and 1 for optout) I am going to use LogisticRegression to fit a model.
You will find the entire code written in Java in GitHub. Clone this repository to follow along.
Prerequisites for running this program are Apache SPARK that you need to download and install on your computer first. I will be using Spark in standalone mode, so there should be no difficulty to run it. Make sure that 'spark-submit' is in your $PATH variable.
I have created the repository in such a way that the dataset is in the folder 'data' under root. After cloning the repository look at the Java file CustomerOpenResponsePredictor.java. Let us look at the main() function of this class to see the logic behind it.
First task is the create the Spark session which happens in line 1. In lines 7-10 I am loading the data from the CSV session. (Note that since this is multi-threaded, the data will be read in parallel in chunks through different threads). This dataset has three fields that are given as strings, but they can be converted to categorical variables (i.e. they are basically enumerations of state). Spark offers a way to do this through the StringIndexer class. Lines 12 - 14 define three different indexers that convert the columns event, sub_source and camptype to eventIndex, sub_sourceIndex and camptypeIndex respectively. The remaining variables are all integers, so LogisticRegression will work fine in this case. Lines 16-18 do the actual conversion of these three columns to integers from String. The next step is to split the data randomly into two sets - one for training and another for validation. I am using the randomSplit() function to do that in lines 22 to 25. After doing this, I now have two datasets with a 80%-20% split.
To be clear, here are all the parameters in the feature set (the input X vector):
The output (y) is a binary value "optout" which represents whether the user will stay (represented by 0) or unsubscribe (represented by 1).
Note that all the columns present in the dataset are not to be fed into the LogisticRegression model builder. Only certain meaningful columns must be selected for the model building. I am going to use the VectorAssembler class to create my feature set. Lines 1 - 3 creates a composite output column called "features" that comprises of the columns eventIndex, cnts, sub_sourceIndex, tenure and camptypeIndex. These are our input variables. The LogisticRegression model is built in line 6 with epochs as 10, regularization parameter as 0.3 and elastic network parameter as 0.8. The input feature set is the "features" column I just created and the output is the "optout" column. Lines 13 to 15 are the Spark steps to create a workflow pipeline. Line 15 creates the actual learning model from the dataset. Line 17 uses the test dataset to make a prediction based on this model. Lines 21 to 26 finds out the accuracy of the model using a simple comparison of the predicted value and the original value of optout.
One point to note about software versions: I am using Spark 2.3.1 and JDK 1.8 to do my work. This combination worked for me. (JDK 10 has some compatibility problems with Spark 2.3, so avoid this combination.)
To compile type the following:
To run the program type:
Your output is going to look somewhat like this:
Since the model does the splitting between the training and test dataset randomly, the results will be different each time. For most of my runs, the accuracy of the model varies between 98.2 to 98.5 percent. This is pretty good given that we had to crunch so much data to come to this conclusion.
Now the big question is, what can we do about it? Since we are able to predict quite accurately whether the user will unsubscribe, it is best not to send the email to that user. The next step in deployment of this model is to keep it running as a web-service, and before sending an email, check (through the web-service) if the user is likely to opt out of the emails. If so, it is best to suppress sending that email to the user. Awesome! So now we have found an innovative way to retain customers.
I am not going to disappoint any person who came to this page thinking that they will get nuggets of information and instead found a bunch of SQL and mathematics. Here are some tips for really sending email for your campaigns. I am reproducing below for your reference.
Try sending email on weekends: Based on data of over 9 billion emails (yes, billion with a "b") provided by Mailchimp, Saturdays and Sundays have notably higher Click Thru Rates (CTRs); this is coupled with said data showing unsubscribes peak on Tuesdays. These rates include both B2B and B2C emails (although given the volume, are presumably skewed towards B2C.)
Send very early in the morning: Data layered over Hubspot survey results reveal while recipients report reading email throughout the day, CTRs peak between 6 – 7 am (localized). And while unsubscribes also peak in the morning, they also spiked late in the evening (when readership dropped off).
Optimize your email for mobile: a bit of a no-brainer; surveys cited 80% of the respondents read email on mobile devices, highlighting the importance of making sure your email doesn't look like scrambled eggs on mobile.
Include reference data in your email: Make email searchable. Focus group participants report using email inboxes as an archive of 'elite', personal data, referring back to it on an informational basis.
Use lots of links in your email: While this may be counterintuitive, Zarrella says there is strong correlation between a greater number of links and higher CTRs. Data also shows lower unsubscribes as the number of links increase. (This may be, of course, because the unsubscribe link is tougher to find…)
Serialize and label your email: Using continuity and content-based words such as "[this] week's," "newsletter," or "digest" in the subject line leads to the higher CTRs. Conversely, the traditional "spam" words continue to hold true. [Bonus hint: monitor your spam box for common "trigger" words to avoid.]
Give your subscribers special access: Focus groups find people like getting offers specific to them, offers with exclusivity built into them. Another no-brainer, but worth repeating.
Send email from people they've heard of: Be it a celebrity name or a guru, people like receiving emails from names they recognize.
Do not be afraid to send too much email: Unsubscribes are notably higher for organizations that send one or two emails per month; as the frequency of emails reaches eight the number declines.
Your newest subscribers are your best: While most subscribers opt out shortly after first subscribing to an email, CTRs early on are also at a high – proving the adage "get 'em while they're hot."
Ask people to follow you, not forward emails: It's not just using social media, but using it wisely. Survey data showed about 80% people either never or rarely forward or Tweet commercial email, even with the advent of 'share' and 'tweet' buttons. Instead, get people to follow you through Facebook, Twitter, etc. driving prospects to subscribe to your email.
Make them want to get your emails: 70% of people report reading most or all of their email, and 58% have separate "junk" inboxes. Given that, Zarella stressed incorporating all the best practice takeaways detailed to ensure your message gets to people's "good" email address, read, and acted upon.
So that's it folks. You are now an Email marketing ninja. Go out and start practicing some of these ideas.

when your body says stop
I am as guilty as the next person of burning the candle at both ends.
Sometimes, I have to stop and remind myself to stop, before the fire starts.
Maybe you are like me and tend to get engrossed in what you are doing, or keeping pushing through, when your body is on it's knees.
If so, take some words from the wise – watch for your vulnerability factors, which gently signal when to stop, before your body screams.
What are vulnerability factors?
They are the whispers you get that says 'hey, slow down.'
They can be different for everybody, but some we shall all share.
Getting a little grumpy or snappy? This is a whisper, a vulnerability factor, saying time to stop whatever you are doing.
Notice that you are tired but still push through? If it is a life and death situation, you won't have to make the choice to keep pushing. Your brain takes over, engages your nervous system (the fight or flight) and this wonderful system keeps you out of harms way.
If it is not a life or death situation. Stop when you are tired, the chances are the work that you do tired takes twice as long and with more errors!
Skipping meals? Another whisper, saying hey what's so important that you stop feeding me?
Not sleeping? Now you are leaving the whispers and getting quite an abrupt shove! This is a definite vulnerability factor that needs taking care of. Why?
Your body is telling you it is running out of steam. If you ignore it, you are using up resources you no longer have and are running on adrenalin.
This is not a good place, as more sleepless nights and stress are no longer knocking at your door, they are starting to accompany you everywhere you go.
Many people run for pills or potions. Herbal remedies to calm them down (as that feels more natural), caffeine to pick them up.
Sometimes, just stopping, being aware of your own vulnerability factors, and doing what your body asks, is all you need.
When I ignore my body, a day spent outdoors is often all I need.
I did this a few weekends ago, as a recharge. My reset button is nature. I took myself off, (with a packed lunch, as I am that nerd) came home feeling tired – the nice tired that allows sleep, not the wired tired. Had the best nights sleep in a long time.
The trick is to do this on a regular basis, not to wait until you need it.
I really did bring a packed lunch!

This should be my second posting on a web traffic, I promised myself not to do too much on this seeing that I am not too keen on focusing to much about gaining traffic. However over the past few weeks, the amount of traffic that comes to my site has relatively shifted from the norm.
[How effective can this be?]
In my previous post (check it out here) I've highlighted several sites that I have tested out over the past couple of months and determine whether they really come up to their promise. So far, after extending my usage to promote my site even further, I realized that there has been a shift of source for traffic to my site from Link Referral!
As for most of us blogger here in Malaysia, we're used on relying the services of Innit in order to promote traffic to our site, which so far to my point of view is STILL the number one provider for traffic to my site but every now and then, Link Referral does throw a curve ball to compete for the number one spot.
Frankly, I do realize that there are a bajillion of those out there telling about sites that actually work and for me, I've pretty much tested them all and failed. Except for this one.
How Easy it is To Use?
As how most would know, getting a traffic promotion site to work for your site needs work, and this site is no different. So many of them out there promises easy referral and as far as I am concerned if they do promise you that, they are lying.
The site requires you to visit other members each day in order to get your site up and above their list of websites, provided that you're looking to get the benefits out of this services for free. Nevertherless, earning "credits" daily gives you the option to hop around other sites, categorized by your topic of interest, much how you would work StumbleUpon.
I spend around 15 minutes a day doing my required rounds to get my site on top of the list, which is by far a slightly easier way and less time spent for promoting my site.
How does this Benefit my Site?
Once you get yourself up on the list, other members from around the world would be more likely to see your site while they are doing their own rounds themselves. Imagine a barter system, only for blog traffic! :D
According to the site, once you get yourself to the top of the list, you are more likely to get on average of 60 visits a day, provided that you are hardworking enough to ensure that your site is always on top. In reality, the traffic would never get to that high but it does guarantee hit around 30 visits a day which by my count is still kinda impressive.
Pros of Site
The entire layout and interface of the site is easy to get used to so for most new users would be up and running with the system within hours of using the site. As far as I am concerned, there are really nothing much to complain about the usage of the site as a retarded monkey with a banana in one hand would be able to figure out this site.
Another good thing about this site is that it has a commenting system, which allows other members to give GENUINE feedback towards your site. Just don't take into heart if they are negative though...
Cons of Site
The one problem I find about using this site is that some of the members have uber huge sites which requires a decaded to load, which can be quite irritating especially when you are there to browse for credits. Some of the sites also link towars bad links, which does irritate me every now and then.
Second problem would be your own self discipline. One thing this system requires is the diligence of the user to actually sit and go through the entire process, which can be tedious to do (fine, I'll admit I do get my lazy spells every now and then).
Honestly, I do not see this site to replace Innit as the main source of traffic referring site but it does hold on as a very good supplementary source for your site. While it lacks the personal touch like Innit, I do believe it does provide the straight forward solution to your traffic needs, if that is what you are after.
Check out Link Referral on the links around this site! Go on press it.... you know you wanna!
Alright, no more blog whoring.
Nang this post if you like it guys! Thanks!
Follow the TehTarik way!

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are a group of parasitic and bacterial diseases that cause substantial illness for more than one billion people globally. Affecting the world's poorest people, NTDs impair physical and cognitive development, contribute to mother and child illness and death, make it difficult to farm or earn a living, and limit productivity in the workplace. As a result, NTDs trap the poor in a cycle of poverty and disease.

Fast Facts
- 100% of low-income countries are affected by at least five neglected tropical diseases simultaneously
- Worldwide, 149 countries and territories are affected by at least one neglected tropical disease (NTD)
- Neglected tropical diseases kill an estimated 534,000 people worldwide every year
- Individuals are often affected with more than one parasite or infection
- Treatment cost for most NTD mass drug administration programs is estimated at less than US fifty cents per person, per year
About NTDs
More than 1 billion people—one-sixth of the world's population—suffer from one or more Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
NTDs are a group of infectious diseases that are the source of tremendous suffering because of their disfiguring, debilitating, and sometimes deadly impact. They are called neglected because they have been largely wiped out in the more developed parts of the world and persist only in the poorest, most marginalized communities and conflict areas.
Social stigma is a major consequence of NTDs. In addition to causing physical and emotional suffering, these devastating diseases hamper a person's ability to work, keep children out of school, and prevent families and communities from thriving.
