Child sex abuse survivor Kirsty Pratt vows to keep watch of WA Parliament until Labor deliver on election promise
Sitting in the public gallery in plain sight of MPs, Kirsty Pratt hopes her bright blue hair will be hard to miss.
The 41-year-old child sex abuse survivor has vowed to sit and watch Parliament until the State Government fulfils its election promise of removing the statute of limitations on legal action against culprits.
It's been 10 months since she stood side by side with Attorney-General John Quigley during the election campaign, when he pledged to end the current five-year limit on legal action by victims against the perpetrator.
But since then, there's been no Bill brought to Parliament.
Last week after Blue Knot Day, which recognises child sex abuse victims, Ms Pratt, who was sexually abused by her primary school teacher over two years, told The West Australian she came to Parliament to convey that survivors were disappointed with the inaction of the Labor Government.
"I thought it was a good opportunity with Blue Knot Day to have a passive protest to be seen, not making a fuss, not making a scene, just to be present to let the members of Parliament know that we're not going away and we feel forgotten," she said.
"For an issue that was supposed be first cab off the rank, from our outsiders' view it appears to have slid dramatically down the list of priorities.
"I was pretty damning of how the Liberal Party failed to address this issue and survivors are struggling to see the difference."
Mr Quigley said he sympathised with Ms Pratt.
"The hold-up has been that during the year the royal commission has put out several interim reports around this subject, and I wanted to consider those reports before presenting the Bill to Parliament," he said.
Mr Quigley said the legislation would not only remove the statue of limitations, but also place a cap on legal fees and help identify the defendant for plaintiffs.
"The Bill is in its final stages of drafting and will be soon before the Parliament," he said.
Mr Quigley said he expected the legislation to be debated before the end of the year.
Ms Pratt's expectations are not high. She said she had no hope legislation would be introduced before the end of the parliamentary sitting year next month.
She has vowed to keep watch over MPs and wait for action.

My Beloved Sons, may the blessings of Love be enlightening you today and always.
Each day we will be closer to you, to blow our sweet words to relieve your hearts, which are already so often tired of this process.
Our intention is always to relieve them, to make them stronger, more understandable, always with a breath of hope, wisdom and strength.
But this, not because we need to support them, but because the Love that radiate us, when we approach, breaks the barriers of their world to bring us even closer to you. Every time we approach you, you only emit Love, admiration and nothing else, because, deep down, you carry within you the feeling of Oneness with all Creation. Otherwise, they would not love us that much!
And in these words, we have the great opportunity to radiate our Love, and open them to send the Love that is in their hearts back to the whole Creation. It is a great opportunity for our beings to help them in this journey, and thereby also enrich themselves with their experiences. It is a gentle and fraternal exchange that we carry out in these readings.
You know, Beloved Ones, the emotional baggage that you brought to release in these final times is one of the heaviest ones that you have carried for a long time inside. It was a source of great pain, many challenges and even the opening of so many lives, between comings and goings, between our plan and the terrain.
These words that we bring to you, therefore, are an encouragement to look at the very process - which each of you pass - so that they reflect, so that they try to feel their bodies, so that they begin to look at and thus to understand the experience Earthly.
We bring words of empowerment, not because you need it, but because you, Beloved Masters, have everything you need in your hearts and you are the wise and courageous, who have accepted the beautiful mission of rising and thus raising a planet together.
You have come to protect this environment, for everything you bring within you, for many are prevented from continuing your plans, just because you are here on this planet.
We bring these words as the keys of their hearts to remind them that they have everything they need within them, and with that we have the great opportunity to assist them in this process. Yes, help, because these little keys are nothing before ALL that they bring within themselves; They are just little reminders of Love.
There is nothing, Masters, who does not know and is not in your Hearts, but we are here to support and bring you these keys that you both appreciate and ennoble in your day. Our role is to support you, and yours is to shine and allow, in the process of purification and enlightenment, to expand consciousness and anchor Light in an environment so lacking in true wisdom.
It is a hard process, yes, that touches them in the heart, but the blessings they will take from there will be infinite, greater than life itself.
I bless you, for I am Rowena, the Teacher of Love, and I come today to thank you for loving us so much.
Lady Master Rowena

It was exactly years ago today — May 19, 2009 — that Newton Alderman (now City Councilor) Lenny Gentile delivered his most notorious City Hall floor speech.
Videos didn't go viral in 1990 the way they do now. But Gentile's "SOMERVILLE!!??? Why not Everett? Or Chelsea?" rant sparked editorials, video parodies. and even editorial cartoons…
If my memory serves me right, Gentile was upset on that day by suggestions that Newton could benefit from following some of Somerville's best practices when it came to zero sum budgeting.
But Gentile's disdain for Somerville, Everett and Chelsea — three communities with large numbers of blue collar and immigrant populations — touched a nerve in other ways. It felt elitist and snobbish, the implication being Newton was too smart to learn from these lesser communities.
Somerville, of course, has transformed itself, from its Slummerville days and has become regarded as a well-run, forward-thinking and hip pace to live. And ironically perhaps, Gentile has emerged as an advocate Newton's blue collar residents of late, which of course was at the core, a big part of the image of the three communities he was dismissing on that day.
Meanwhile, Somerville is still used as a dog whistle in Newton's housing debate (As in, "We don't want Newton to become the next Somerville") to flag concerns about about race, diversity and poor people moving to the Garden City.

BlueboxCutting-edge digital displays, interactive technologies, and moveable furniture join together in 101 Althouse Laboratory to create an experimental classroom where innovation and excellence meet.
Bluebox Instructors in the 2019-2020 Academic Year
Bluebox Students in the 2019-20 Academic Year
Enhanced Teaching and Learning in a Dynamic Space
An essential component of active learning – defined by Bonwell and Eison in 1991's Active Learning: Creating Excitement in the Classroom as anything that "involves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing" – is a learning space's flexibility. The rigidity of old classroom designs shackled even the most creative teachers by dictating pedagogy. Driven by Penn State's priorities of transforming education and driving digital innovation, the Bluebox aims to undo those shackles by providing a learning space limited in flexibility only by a faculty member's creativity.
What makes the Bluebox so flexible? To start, there is no "front" of the room. All four walls are "share walls" that can be written on with dry-erase markers. Every piece of furniture inside the space is mobile, a feature that offers a virtually unlimited array of configurations. With this ability, instructors can create myriad team-based, collaborative learning environments.
The highlight of the Bluebox, however, is the eight-panel, fully-interactive Planar display. Students and instructors can connect to the panel wirelessly via iOS, Android, Mac, and PC devices. This makes any and all content produced during a course sharable. Also, because the display is comprised of eight panels it can be divided into smaller individual screens or used as one large screen.
The Bluebox is a discipline-agnostic learning space. During its first semester in use, Fall 2016, the Bluebox hosted courses in biochemistry, molecular biology, astronomy, statistics, and information science technology. With each new course there is an opportunity not only to understand the space better but for faculty to learn new ways to teach in their discipline. TLT happily collaborates with and supports instructors who wish to engage in scholarship of teaching and learning research related to the Bluebox.
TLT's learning spaces team and Penn State faculty who teach in the Bluebox engage in iterative cycles of teaching, reflection, adjustment, and more teaching. Together we discover new pedagogies, determine best practices, and contribute to the growing national discourse on effective learning spaces.
Bluebox's features make it a dynamic and flexible space where active learning is possible.
Collaborative configurations of furniture
From small groups to whole class debates, movable furniture can support a wide range of instructional goals.
Interactive display wall
An eight-panel interactive digital Planar display supports wireless screen sharing from almost any device. The display can be split by panel or can be used as one large screen.
Writeable surfaces
Whiteboard walls and movable whiteboards can be used by individual student groups or to partition the room into separate smaller learning spaces.
I taught in Althouse, including the room that became the Bluebox, for over 40 years. Teaching in this space is so enjoyable it almost made me reconsider retirement.
TLT is actively engaged in research efforts around our suite of learning spaces. Whether trying to understand the multi-dimensional nature of active learning in our Active Learning Classrooms or exploring what it means to learn in an "Experience Lab" like the DEX or IMAX labs or the Media or Maker Commons, we are developing new research methods to answer our unique questions.
In the Bluebox, we have collected data in ways that are both traditional, like surveys and focus groups, and also in ways that are creative and novel. Two of the latter approaches are Flashbacks and Re-Captures. Flashbacks are weekly prompts delivered to faculty via
email and to which instructors can respond either by text or by video. Flashbacks solicit frequent, and brief, reflections about teaching in the Bluebox. Re-Captures invite faculty to re-create configurations of the classroom space in Google Drawings in response to reflective prompts. Faculty cohorts later reflect on their colleagues' Re-Captured configurations and consider their implications for pedagogical practice.

How Sesame Street Helps Sell Machine Learning and Learnings for All Startups
One of the hardest parts of bringing any new technology to market is customer acquisition. Inherently, people are reluctant to jump into an unknown technology so having a clear and articulate way to convert interest to understanding in your funnel and a compelling sales pitch is critical to converting your leads into paying customers. Machine Learning (ML) companies face this challenge head on every day. When we brought together a group of AI and ML experts from our Core Community to discuss their businesses overall, how they effectively articulate their value proposition to attract customers turned into a lively conversation with an unlikely set of analogies and metaphors.
In addition to the regular challenges of selling a B2B product (identifying a segment, targeting prospects, educating them, showing measurable or even potential ROI, etc.) the 'black box' nature of machine learning makes it tough for people to buy into. Alan Ringvald, CEO of Relativity6, offered some advice on how he was able to better explain the technology.
During our first few months out in the field pitching Relativity6's technology to potential customers, whenever the inevitable "so how does this actually work?" question would rear it's head, my CTO and co-founder Abraham [Rodriguez] would roll up his sleeves and start explaining how our convolutional neural network worked or how we built a unique approach to feature learning based on space and time.
The room of non-technical people would nod their heads in unison signaling that they understood what he was saying, but we didn't get one buyer in those first few months. Something was definitely wrong.
One fateful day the lightbulb turned on. Abraham and his young son were watching an episode of Sesame Street called "Hungry Games: Catching Fur" which is a parody of the hit series Hunger Games. In this episode, the cookie monster and crew were forced to predict the next item in a fairly straightforward pattern: Banana, Apple, Banana, Apple, Banana, etc.
Pretty simple, right?
But eventually things got trickier. After finding the obvious pattern, the cookie monster was faced with predicting the next item in a series of items featuring: cheese, cookie, sandwich, pizza, cracker….
Not so obvious.
[Spoiler Alert] Turns out, the answer wasn't a certain item of food, but instead the shape of the food. The cookie monster predicted a round item would be next, and he was right!
I don't think Sesame Street or it's intended audience was aware, but this was actually a very elegant way to explain non-obvious pattern recognition which was similar to how our technology spotted similarities between customers based on non-obvious contextual features.
We showed this video to a non-technical customer and they instantly understood what we were talking about. This lead us to start coming up with machine learning analogies related to all kinds of mundane things like shopping for fruit to blowing bubbles in the air.
Real-world ML analogies are now a standard part of our pitch, which has lead to way less confusing pitch meetings and some significant sales.
As our session continued we opened up the black box further and inevitably came to the human vs. machine discussion.
Matt Osman, CEO of Legit Patents offers another perspective on how he humanizes the technology to make it easier for buyers to digest.
So far, we've found the message of human intelligence augmentation far more powerful than the message of replacement.
[Identifying the persona is key here.] We just happen to think that in the patent space the human that should be augmented is the inventor not the attorney.
I think when selling software that performs functions formerly reserved for human cognition you need to humanize the technology but only to an extent. The pitch has to be human-enough to breed trust but not emphasizing superiority in the manner of a 'robot overlord'.
A technique that works with a management level buyer is suggesting that the software is doing the job of a junior employee — one of the reasons that digital assistants (bots used to schedule meetings and automate basic tasks) are such a natural initial application of AI (at least from a marketing perspective). For example, we've found the best way to explain our first product is as 'a patent agent that lives in your browser'.
People are comfortable with a digital servant but not a digital master.
One thing we could all agree on is that for now AI/ML is a complex enough new technology domain that it will be difficult for most buyers to understand. The black box nature of data trained models or neural nets and deep learning may present unique challenges to explain, but this is not unique to early markets. Odd as the analogies that surfaced may be to explain AI/ML, the idea of using analogies and metaphors to simplify and help a broader audience relate and understand is a powerful tool for startups to consider.
Thanks to the many great Boston ML companies that have contributed to our discussions and for their fun and enlightening work to explain their technology.
What's the best way you've found to boil complex ideas down to a straightforward explanation? Share your analogies and stories with us in the comments below.

Thousand Days Red Jasmine
Tea flowers are not produced by the tea plant itself, rather they are handcrafted specialties combining tea leaves, and – depending on the type – other ingredients, like flower petals. These unique teas are reminiscent of dried flowers, and their name refers to the wonderful spectacle of 'blooming' they produce when dropped in warm water.Use Thousand Days Red Jasmine to bring a sense of the unexpected into a moment You share with your friends or loved ones, making it an experience that is set apart from everyday life. Thousand Days Red Jasmine is not only a special sight to behold, but also produces several cups worth of brew with excellent flavor. Like most other green and white teas of high quality, Thousand Days Red Jasmine also produces at least one additional batch of brew if the teapot is refilled with warm water, although – naturally – the spectacle of blooming unfolds only at the first brewing, so put the tea flower in a spacious translucent vessel and look carefully so You don't miss the moment when the flower unfurls.The uniqueness of white tea originates from the minimal amount of processing that the leaves and buds undergo after being picked. As opposed to green and black varieties, white tea is comprised of only the youngest buds and leaves on the tea plant, which are normally allowed to wither and dry in sunlight and fresh air. The lack of fermentation and heating produces a less robust flavor compared to other teas, and is therefore closest to the original taste of the natural tea leaves. White tea is attributed an abundance of health preservation benefits.

|The goal in this exercise is to create a model to predict
|how many bicycles will be used in a day, given the
|available information.
|Data source: UC Irvine Machine Learning dataset, "bike sharing":
|We will first explore the data, using the CSV type provider
|and fsharp.Charting to visualize it.
|Then we will develop a regression model to predict usage,
|using Math.NET and a bit of linear algebra, starting simple,
|and progressively increasing power and complexity.
|Step 1. Opening the data using the CSV Type Provider
|Type Providers make it extremely easy to access data in
|various formats: point to a sample, generate a type based
|on the sample, and start exploring using IntelliSense.
|// TODO: run the following code, step-by-step
|#I @"../packages/"
|#r @"FSharp.Data.2.2.5/lib/net40/FSharp.Data.dll"
|open FSharp.Data
|// we create a type based on sample data
|type Dataset = CsvProvider<"day.csv">
|type Datapoint = Dataset.Row
|// we can now read data...
|let dataset = Dataset.Load("day.csv")
|let data = dataset.Rows
|// ... which is statically typed
|let firstObservation = data |> Seq.head
|printfn "First date: %s" (firstObservation.Dteday.ToShortDateString())
|// we can print out the file headers
|match dataset.Headers with
|| None -> printfn "No headers found"
|| Some(headers) ->
||> Seq.iter (fun header -> printfn "%s" header)
|// ... or print the total number of users for 5 first days
||> Seq.take 5
||> Seq.iter (fun day -> printfn "Total users: %i" day.Cnt)
|// TODO: explore the dataset
|// what was the day with the most wind?
|data |> Seq.maxBy (fun e -> e.Windspeed )
||> (fun x->x.Dteday.ToLongDateString ())
|// what is the average number of riders?
|data |> Seq.averageBy(fun e-> e.Cnt|>float )
|// what is the average number of riders
|// during holidays? On Sundays?
|data |> Seq.filter(fun e -> e.Holiday ) |> Seq.averageBy(fun e-> e.Cnt|>float )
|data |> Seq.filter(fun e -> e.Weekday=0) |> Seq.averageBy(fun e-> e.Cnt|>float )
|Step 2. Visually exploring the data using F# Charting
|It is usually easier to understand a dataset by looking at
|it with charts. Let's use F# Charting to visualize our data.
|// TODO: run the following code, step-by-step
|#load @"FSharp.Charting.0.90.13/FSharp.Charting.fsx"
|open FSharp.Charting
|// Creating basic charts with F# Charting
|Chart.Column [ 1 .. 10 ]
|Chart.Bar [ 1 .. 10 ]
|Chart.Line [ 1 .. 10 ]
|Chart.Point [ (1.0,1); (2.5,3); (3.9,8)]
|Chart.Line [ "Monday", 1; "Tuesday", 2; "Wednesday", 3 ]
|Chart.Line [ for x in 1 .. 20 -> x, x * x ]
|// Using additional features
|Chart.Line [ "Monday", 1; "Tuesday", 2; "Wednesday", 3 ]
||> Chart.WithTitle("Value by day")
|// Combining charts
|Chart.Combine [
|Chart.Line [ 1 .. 10 ]
|Chart.Line [ 3 .. 12 ]
|// TODO: plot the number of users, Cnt, over time.
|// Is the curve flat? Is there a trend?
|let users =
|data |> Seq.map(fun e -> e.Dteday, e.Cnt)
||> Chart.Line
|// Scatterplots (Chart.Point) are often helpful to see if
|// some features / variables are related.
|// TODO: plot windspeed against count, temperature against
|// count. Which one seems more informative?
|let users1 =
|data |> Seq.map(fun e -> e.Windspeed, e.Cnt)
||> Chart.Point
|data |> Seq.map(fun e -> e.Weathersit, e.Hum) |> Chart.Point
|Step 3. Defining a Regression Model to predict Cnt
|We want to create a model that, given data for a day, will
|return a number, the predicted total number of users for
|that day. This is called a Regression Model.
|// TODO: run the following code, step-by-step
|// Model structure: take a day, predict the number of users
|type Model = Datapoint -> float
|// Our first model will be a straight line through the data
|// The parameter theta is called the 'coefficient'.
|let prediction (theta:float) (day:Datapoint) =
|theta * (float day.Instant)
|// compare the results of 3 models, using 3 different
|// values for Theta (1.0, 5.0, 20.0), against the 'real'
|// value we are trying to predict.
|Chart.Combine [
|Chart.Line (data |> Seq.map (fun day -> day.Cnt))
|Chart.Line (data |> Seq.map (fun day -> prediction 1.0 day))
|Chart.Line (data |> Seq.map (fun day -> prediction 5.0 day))
|Chart.Line (data |> Seq.map (fun day -> prediction 20.0 day))
|Step 4. What is a 'good model'?
|What is a good model? A model where for each point, the
|error (the difference between the correct and the predicted
|values) is small.
|// TODO: run the following code, step-by-step
|// There are many possible ways to measure error; for
|// instance, the absolute difference between the 2.
|let absError (model:Model) (day:Datapoint) =
|abs (model day - (float day.Cnt))
|let meanAbsError (model:Model) (data:Datapoint seq) =
|data |> Seq.averageBy (absError model)
|// TODO: for theta = 0.0, 1.0, .. 20.0, compute the
|// model error. What is the best value of Theta?
|let thetas=[0..20] |> List.map float
|thetas |> List.map(fun e ->e, meanAbsError( prediction e ) data) |> Chart.Line
|Step 5. More complex models
|So far we have used only one coefficient. We can build more
|complex models, by adding coefficients, for instance:
|Prediction = Theta0 + Theta1 * day.Instant + Theta2 * day.Temp
|// TODO: run the following code, step-by-step
|let complexPrediction (theta0:float,theta1:float,theta2:float) (day:Datapoint) =
|theta0 + theta1 * (float day.Instant) + theta2 * (float day.Temp)
|// now we have 3 coefficients, instead of just one
|// note that complexModel still has a signature of
|// Datapoint -> float: it is still a valid model
|let complexModel = complexPrediction (500.0, 7.5, 2500.0)
|let complexModelError = meanAbsError complexModel data
|Chart.Combine [
|Chart.Line (data |> Seq.map (fun day -> day.Cnt))
|Chart.Line (data |> Seq.map (fun day -> complexModel day))
|Step 6. Using Math.NET & Algebra to find the best Theta
|WARNING: MATH ALERT. The following section contains a bit
|of algebra. If you don't follow everything, that's OK: we
|are just using algebra to create an algorithm that will
|automatically find the best model. In Section 7, we will
|use our algorithm, showing a practical usage.
|Manually searching for the best value of Theta is painful.
|Fortunately, using Linear Algebra, we can find in one shot
|the best solution for Theta, using what is called the
|'normal form'.
|// TODO: run the following code, step-by-step
|#r @"MathNet.Numerics.3.8.0/lib/net40/MathNet.Numerics.dll"
|#r @"MathNet.Numerics.FSharp.3.8.0/lib/net40/MathNet.Numerics.FSharp.dll"
|open MathNet
|open MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra
|open MathNet.Numerics.LinearAlgebra.Double
|type Vec = Vector<float>
|type Mat = Matrix<float>
|// instead of defining explicitly coefficients
|// (theta0,theta1,theta2, ...), we are going to
|// transform our model: we use a vector Theta to
|// store all these values, and we will transform
|// datapoints into another vector, so that our
|// prediction becomes simply the product of 2 vectors:
|let predict (theta:Vec) (v:Vec) = theta * v
|// using Normal Form to estimate a model.
|// For more information, see:
|// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_least_squares_(mathematics)
|let estimate (Y:Vec) (X:Mat) =
|(X.Transpose() * X).Inverse() * X.Transpose() * Y
|// We create a 'Featurizer', a function that will turn
|// a Datapoint into a Vector:
|type Featurizer = Datapoint -> float list
|let predictor (f:Featurizer) (theta:Vec) =
|f >> vector >> (*) theta
|let evaluate = meanAbsError
|// Given a Featurizer (what data we want to use
|// from the Datapoints) and data, this will
|// return the 'best' coefficients, as well as a
|// function that predicts a value, given a Datapoint:
|let model (f:Featurizer) (data:Datapoint seq) =
|let Yt, Xt =
||> Seq.toList
||> List.map (fun obs -> float obs.Cnt, f obs)
||> List.unzip
|let theta = estimate (vector Yt) (matrix Xt)
|let predict = predictor f theta
|Step 7. Using our algorithm to create better models
|Now that we have an algorithm in place, let's use it on our
|dataset, to see if we can produce better prediction models!
|// illustration: show no constant, add a constant
|// we separated the dataset into 2 parts, one for training,
|// one for testing the quality of our model.
|let train = Dataset.Load("train.csv")
|let test = Dataset.Load("test.csv")
|// for our first model, we will use a constant (1.0), and
|// day.Instant as features.
|let featurizer0 (obs:Datapoint) =
|[ 1.0;
|float obs.Instant; ]
|let (theta0,model0) = model featurizer0 train.Rows
|Chart.Combine [
|Chart.Line [ for obs in data -> float obs.Cnt ]
|Chart.Line [ for obs in data -> model0 obs ] ]
|// we can now compare how good the model does,
|// both on train and test sets. A good model should
|// have similar performance on both.
|evaluate model0 train.Rows |> printfn "Training set: %.0f"
|evaluate model0 test.Rows |> printfn "Testing set: %.0f"
|Chart.Point [for obs in data -> float obs.Cnt, model0 obs ]
|theta0 |> Seq.iteri (fun i x -> printfn "Coeff. %i: %.1f" i x)
|// TODO: add temperature to the features
|// is this better? worse?
|let freq = 2.0*System.Math.PI / 365.25
|let featurizer1 (obs:Datapoint) =
|[ 1.0
|float obs.Instant
|-System.Math.Cos(freq*float obs.Instant)
|float obs.Temp
|float obs.Temp * float obs.Temp
|(if obs.Holiday then 1.0 else 0.0)
|float obs.Hum
|float obs.Windspeed
|let (theta1,model1) = model featurizer1 train.Rows
|evaluate model1 test.Rows |> printfn "Testing set: %.0f"
|evaluate model1 train.Rows |> printfn "Testing set: %.0f"
|evaluate model1 data |> printfn "Testing set: %.0f"
|Chart.Point [for obs in test.Rows -> float obs.Cnt, model1 obs ]
|theta1 |> Seq.iteri (fun i x -> printfn "Coeff. %i: %.1f" i x)
|// TODO: visualize the result
|// TODO: try out some others, eg windspeed
|Step 8. Using discrete features
|So far we have used numeric values (ex: temperature, wind)
|as model input. Let's see if we can use information from
|values that are not numbers, such as "is it a holiday"?
|let featurizer2 (obs:Datapoint) =
|[ 1.0
|float obs.Instant
|float obs.Temp
|(if obs.Holiday then 1.0 else 0.0) ]
|let (theta2,model2) = model featurizer2 train.Rows
|evaluate model2 test.Rows |> printfn "Testing set: %.0f"
|Chart.Point [for obs in data -> float obs.Cnt, model2 obs ]
|// Coeff. 3 shows you the impact of holidays:
|// on average, we lose 760 users.
|theta2 |> Seq.iteri (fun i x -> printfn "Coeff. %i: %.1f" i x)
|// TODO: are Mondays bigger days than Saturdays?
|Bonus section: even more features!
|At that point, we pretty much threw everything we had into
|our model - is that all we can do? Well, no: we can do
|potentially more, by combining features into new ones.
|// If you look at the temperature vs. users chart, it
|// looks like very low or very high temperatures result in
|// lower usage:
||> Seq.map (fun day -> day.Temp, day.Cnt)
||> Chart.Point
|// instead of modelling usage = theta0 + theta1 x temp,
|// you could do instead
|// usage = theta0 + theta1 x temp + theta2 x (temp x temp).
|// TODO: include square of the temperature in the model
|let featurizer3 (obs:Datapoint) =
|[ 1.0
|float obs.Instant
|// use your features
|// use temp * temp
|let (theta3,model3) = model featurizer3 train.Rows
|// TODO: Is the quality improving the same way on train and test?
|// TODO: play with more features
|Bonus section: accelerate computations with MKL
|One of the beauties of algebra is, a lot of work has gone
|into it to make it run fast. Math.NET supports MKL, which
|runs algebra on a dedicated piece of hardware on the CPU.
|To use it, install the corresponding NuGet package,
|configure Math.NET to use MKL, and compare speed:
|System.Environment.CurrentDirectory <- __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__
|open MathNet.Numerics
|open MathNet.Numerics.Providers.LinearAlgebra.Mkl
|Control.LinearAlgebraProvider <- MklLinearAlgebraProvider()

The Student ID card will function as a debit card in the cafeterias and cafe. Any amount may be deposited in your student's account. The account can be set to automatically replenish by going online to the portal at www.payforit.net. Select "Auto Replenish" under the "Lunch" tab. You can also replenish your account by bringing a check or cash to the cafeteria. We expect all students to be aware of their account balance and to see that their account is replenished before they run out of money. Low Balance alerts and Monthly Account Updates can also be set up under your email preferences on www.payforit.net. For more details on how to set up your account please visit https://www.payforit.net/Images/AddStudents.pdf
Should a student lose their ID, the library is able to offer replacements for $3.00. Account balances are to be up to date and current at all times; absolutely no credit will be extended the last six weeks of each semester.
Flik Independent School Dining (FISD) will assume responsibility for the food service program at Regis Jesuit starting in August 2018. This will include the cafeteria operations in both buildings, the Steele Center Café and many of our special events and activities. They are also working with the Parent Community Association to determine opportunities to assist the athletic concessions program.
We are pleased that Flik ISD has a strong commitment to sustainability, healthy cooking from scratch and using locally sourced food whenever possible to bring the highest quality food to our program. In addition to serving great food, Flik ISD also wants to be involved with student education regarding nutrition and healthy eating. We are looking forward to the partnership with Flik Independent School Dining as they bring high-quality food to our campus that supports the health and wellness of our students, staff and guests.
You can check out the Flik ISD website for more information about their philosophy and program. www.flikisd.com/
Nutrition and Food Preparation Philosophy Flik ISD's philosophy is based on the idea that scratch-made is best made. By serving food that is fresh and prepared from scratch, the food served by Flik ISD will have less added sugar, artificial ingredients, food dyes and preservatives that are often found in processed foods. In addition, Flik ISD will batch-cook (small quantities) through the lunch service to ensure all food served is fresh from the beginning of service until the end. This also helps reduce food waste from overproduction.
Flik ISD also believes food and nutrition education is important for the development of our students. Flik ISD will be introducing monthly nutrition marketing that will introduce and highlight new foods being served in the cafeterias. Additionally, the introduction of "performance meals" will provide athletes with daily offerings tailored to their unique nutritional needs.
Finally, a fun and seasonal menu will be created by our onsite chef at Regis Jesuit.
Sustainability Initiatives and Social ResponsibilityFlik ISD understands going green is important to the Regis Jesuit community. Flik ISD's SEED (Sustainable Eating and Environmental Dining) program is an industry-leading program that ensures the product is available for generations to come. Not only does FISD purchase quality ingredients that are local whenever possible, the SEED program encompasses a number responsible purchasing initiatives including eggs that are always cage-free, poultry that is raised with the limited use of human antibiotics and milk that is always sourced from cows that have not been treated with artificial bovine growth hormone (rBGH-free). They have also partnered with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program to preserve our ocean resources.
Enhanced Dining ExperienceFlik ISD proposes to modernize the serving areas in both buildings. There is a huge opportunity to redesign the functionality and flow, therefore creating a more user-friendly space that is open and inviting. The retail program will include an introduction of new air screen coolers for grab & go items, beverages and healthy snack items. The entree stations will include thermal heat shelves, which allow for attractive merchandising and batch-cooking replenishment. The deli station will include in-house roasted meats and a wide selection of toppings, which is always a student favorite.
Catering CapabilitiesFlik ISD has provided the appropriate staffing to allow for the school's daily catering needs and special events. They will provide a catering menu with a wide variety of daily and specialty items that will be creative, diverse and appetizing to meet the needs of our banquet events, team dinners, meetings and other special events. In addition, the on-site Chef is happy to create customized menus upon request.
Q. What offerings are available during lunch? Every day students have a choice of either a hot or cold main dish including vegetarian and free from gluten options, vegetables, a full salad bar, a deli option, fresh fruit and a choice of milk, 100% fruit juice or Waterworks, our fruit infused water program.
Q. How does my student know what to do on the first day of school? Freshmen will learn about the food serving procedures during Compass Day. All other students will receive information during registration day. On the first day of school, signage will be on each station and additional associates will be available in case questions arise.
Q. How do we get information regarding menus and promotions during the school year? You now can link online to mySchoolDining.com/regisjesuit. This will connect you to the Flik website which has been customized for Regis Jesuit. There you will find the monthly menus, promotions and dining staff contact information. You can also download the mySchoolDining app, available in the App Store or in Google Play Store.
Q. What if my student has special dietary needs?You can schedule a meeting with the Cristian Pintovidal, Director of Dining Services. You can contact him by email at email@example.com. Cristian will work individually with any family that may have concerns regarding the dietary needs of their student. In addition to the posted allergy board, all foods are labeled and they are available throughout lunch to answer any questions the students may have.
Q. How can I get additional information regarding the dining services program? Cristian Pintovidal, Director of Dining Services, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and his team is always available to answer questions. You will also receive communications periodically through the Red & White weekly e-blast.
Q. Will the Card System Continue? Yes, the same point-of-sale software and registers that the school uses now will continue to be used by Flik ISD.
Q. Will prices change?The goal is to continue a similar pricing structure for the food provided by Flik ISD.
Q. Will we still have the RJ cookies and Chik-fil-A?Flik ISD will continue to serve the same RJ cookies offered this year in addition to a Flik ISD specialty cookie. Flik will provide a similar chicken sandwich and maybe even better than Chik-fil-A, as the use of outside vendors for prepared food will be discontinued.
Q. Will parents still be able to volunteer during the snack and lunch times?Yes, Flik would like the parents and students to stay involved with the program. Flik would like to keep the parent volunteer program and involve the work grant students in their operation.
Q. Is Flik involved with other Jesuit schools?Yes, Flik provides the food service program in a number of Jesuit schools, including Creighton Prep in Omaha and Rockhurst in Kansas City. Flik was recently awarded the food service contract at Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch. Their sister companies also are involved with numerous businesses in the metro area and at Regis University.
Q. What will be the serving hours?Both cafeterias will be open before school, during the morning Academic Support/Break period and during lunchtime. The Steele Center Café will be open from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm daily.
Please contact Ben Teeples, Facility Manager at 303.269.8053 for any additional information.

I was playing a home game the other night, when a particular hand came along that sparked some healthy debate. I thought Id share it here.
It was a cash game, blinds at 10p/20p. The hand had reached the turn with 2 players still in. Each player has about £15 in their stacks.
The board was 789T rainbow. My brother, Al, has a supertight image and tends to be a station, bets out half the pot (about £1.50) from out of position. There is absolutely no doubt in anyones mind that he has a Jack (and indeed he had QJ). My buddy, Brian, hesitates for a couple of minutes before reluctantly folding. He shows his hand: T8 for 2-pair.
Heres where the debate kicked off: did Brian make a good fold, since he was clearly behind and didnt have the immediate odds to call, or should he have called since he had great implied odds if he hit a full house?

Campaigners' call for CLR James Library
PUBLISHED: 12:10 08 September 2010 | UPDATED: 12:26 08 September 2010
ANGRY campaigners are calling on the council not to discount the cultural contribution of Hackney's African and Caribbean residents by ditching the name of a popular Dalston library.
More than 100 protesters have signed a petition to demand that the new library being built as part of the Dalston Square development to replace the CLR James Library in Dalston Lane retains the name.
Members of the borough's Black & Ethnic Minority Arts network (BEMA) and House of Arts & Music Production Services (H-AMPS) took action after discovering that the library's current name was set to be dropped.
Town hall bosses called the library after the Afro-Trinidadian historian, cricket journalist and theorist Cyril Lionel Robert James in 1985. They now want to call it Dalston Library and Archives when it reopens next spring.
"I think the council, at the time the library was named, was making a statement and commitment regarding the literary contribution of African Caribbean people worldwide," said Ngoma Bishop, chairman of BEMA.
"Given the high percentage of African and Caribbean people in Hackney, I feel that taking a decision to drop the name is making an equally strong statement in the opposite direction.
"It's one step short of being an insult to the community."
CLR James gained acclaim for The Black Jacobins, his 1938 book about the 1791-1804 Haitian revolution, and his 1963 autobiographical book, Beyond A Boundary.
He attended the library's naming ceremony. He died in May, 1989.
"This is not just about his contribution as a black individual," said Andrea Enisuoh, of social justice group Hackney Unites.
"He was a campaigner and a thinker and we want to keep his legacy alive."
"It is known internationally that there is a CLR library in Hackney and that is something we should be proud of.
"It's about what sort of Hackney we want to see in the future. Now that Hackney and Dalston are developed, do we no longer want to support these people?"
A Hackney Council spokesman said: "We feel it's important for the names of our libraries to reflect their location. We also had to consider the fact that Hackney's archive service will be situated in the building.
"This will also ensure consistency with the borough's other seven libraries, which are named after the area they are located in.
"However, this is the not the end of the council's affiliation with CLR James, who we are proud to be associated with.
"As part of the new library, there will be a permanent exhibition to chronicle his life and works and an annual event in his memory, and we are pleased to report the state-of-the-art education room will also be named after this influential figure."

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few will find it." Matthew 7:13-14
This is a beautiful and telling verse.
I have not fallen off the wagon, but this week has been rather busy, and as much as I have wanted to, I just haven't been able to fit writing in. I have gotten up early. I have tried and tried to carve out time to get it done, but inevitably something has gotten in the way. Time and time again, I have gotten distracted by something. However, as usual, God has used this experience to lay something important on my heart.
This weekend, I had the good fortune of attending the Country Music marathon in Nashville with some awesome people from my running group. I will be honest, however. I stressed about this trip all week. It weighed on me. I had this gut feeling that this was not how I was supposed to be spending my time. I'm not sure if it was just the Mommy stress of leaving my kids for the weekend or if it was truly not what I was supposed to be doing. Regardless, I was, and still am, very unsettled about this trip.
Don't get me wrong, despite a very, very rainy run, I had very good time. I loved spending time with some great people in a great city doing something I love. It doesn't get much better than that. But I still feel like maybe this is a nudge from God to question HOW I am spending my time and how my family is spending their time on a daily basis.
I have spent the last 15 years, operating at a break neck pace. I have done 5 Ironman triathlons. We have started our own business, twice. We have grown those businesses to triple their original size. We have moved, had children, yada, yada, yada.
I have subscribed to the mantra of our society to do more, be more, get more, and earn more. More, more, more. Be uber busy. Workout more, run longer, buy more house, do things you have never done, work harder, be successful, be more successful, give your kids every opportunity possible. Don't miss out. It is exhausting just writing about it.
I think I need more time to "fit things" in. News flash. Hello, hello. No one is getting more time. Not me, not you, no one. I believe God is all powerful, but last I checked, the faithful weren't getting an extra hour in their day. We all get 24 glorious hours. I am choosing what to do during those hours, and with all that constant activity, I am completely distracted and often exhausted.
Although I have not had the time to write, I have had time to pick up a new book. I've mentioned Craig Groeschel before, and now I am reading one of his books called "Weird." It is a phenomenal book. I would highly recommend it. The premise of the book is based on the above verse from Matthew. We are called to travel through the small gate and on the narrow road and in order to do that, we are going to have to go against the grain. We are going to have to be comfortable with being a bit Weird.
"Everyone" won't be doing what we are called to do. "Everyone" won't even understand what we are doing. "Everyone" might tell you to do the exact opposite and it is likely going to be uncomfortable. I might have to get out of my comfort zone. Hmmm….see why I love this book?
As I wrestled all week with a decision regarding my trip, I began reading Weird. Miraculously, the first chapter is on time, specifically, what we spend our time on.
He quotes a biblical story out of Luke that is really telling. It is about two sisters who are hosting Jesus in their home. One basically sat at the feet of Jesus and spent time with him while the other one, Martha, "got distracted by all the preparations that had to be made." Luke 10: 40.
Martha actually whines "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" And Jesus answers her with this: "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be taken from her."
What I find really fascinating/telling about this passage, besides the fact that Martha whines just like I do sometimes, is that Martha got distracted by something pretty simple and harmless. It doesn't say she got distracted by porn or greed or her selfish need for attention. If it said that, I could put on our best judgemental attitude and conclude that Martha is obviously a worse sinner than I am. And then I could go on about my day feeling like a pretty good Christian.
But, it doesn't say that. It says that she got distracted by "preparations that had to be made." Groeschel points out that her pursuits were not unethical and actually quite understandable. She basically felt like she needed to get some things done instead of sitting at Jesus feet and spending time with him. The point is, even seemingly innocent things or good things, can distract us from what God wants us to experience.
Let's be real. I'm often going so fast and furious that there is no way I am able to take in all the things God is doing around me. How often do I spend time "getting things done" instead of spending time on things that matter?
Here is a quote he uses to illustrate that point. "If the devil can't make you really bad, then he will try to make you really busy." Ouch. Yes, I have been really busy for many years.
Although I still struggle with how I spent my time this weekend, I did make some progress. You see, I love to run. I love to ride my bike. I love triathlons. In general I love to do anything that involves moving my body. And it seems like the more I do it, the more I want. Farther is better, faster is better. If 5 hours a week is good, 10 is better. I know most people cannot relate to that, but over time, I have just grown to love it. And, in the past, it has certainly been a distraction. I trained on Sunday mornings. There was no time for church. I defined my worth by my performance. I put training above my relationship with my husband. I put training above my relationship with everyone. It was definitely a distraction.
But this weekend, I signed up for the half-marathon versus the marathon. I own a running store. If someone is going to do the marathon, it should be me. But I am running a different race now, a race that is not measured by the distance that I run, the amount of money that I make, the way I look or the amount of "success" I achieve here on earth. I am content with 13.1 miles versus 26.2. 100% content. It brought me great joy to be running along and see the marathoners go one direction to continue to pound out their additional miles, while I made a turn in the opposite direction to finish my 13.1. I never once felt any ounce of guilt or sense of regret. Not once. It felt good to do less.
There are a lot of things in this life to distract us from the one thing that is needed, a relationship with Christ. I don't think I even realize how many things are getting in the way and what I am missing by keeping my schedule so full all the time. In a world of more, more, more, it is time to be contented with what I have. It's time to quiet my soul and listen. It's time to quit seeking my own definition of success, but instead seek the Lord's. I am quite certain I will fail many times over, but it's at least time to move in that direction.
So, I have made some inroads here already, but I still think that my life and the schedule of my family deserve some careful consideration. We have one life on this earth to live and I personally am a bit tired of being too busy to do the things that matter. So, the challenge to myself today is to look at our schedule for the next month (which is a crazy, crazy month) and find at least 5 times or ways that I can lessen our load. Ways that we can consciously make a change and choose to spend our time on things that matter.
"Normal people allow good things to become the enemy of the best things." Normally, I would be distracted by too many good things. Today I will cut out some good things to make room for the Best. "Martha has chosen what is better." Will I?

Crowded Spokane City Hall field leads filings for August primaries
Sat., May 18, 2019
Several open seats at Spokane City Hall have led to a lengthy list of potential candidates heading into the August primary.
Races for mayor, City Council president and three seats on the council will all be competitive in the primary, when the top two candidates will advance to November's general election. Seven candidates have filed for an open seat on the panel to replace outgoing Councilman Mike Fagan, who's running for council president against Councilman Breean Beggs and candidates Phil Tyler and Cindy Wendle.
The race for mayor appeared to have just as many interested candidates, but several had dropped their names from contention by the end of the filing deadline Friday. Five people filed for the office to replace Mayor David Condon, who will reach his term limit at the end of the year. They are Jonathan Bingle, Kelly Cruz, Shawn Poole, Ben Stuckart and Nadine Woodward.
Incumbent Councilwomen Lori Kinnear and Karen Stratton will each have to defend their seats on the panel, with Kinnear facing two opponents in Liz Fleming and former Spokane City Council candidate Tony Kiepe, who filed Friday. Stratton is facing five male opponents: Jeff Martin, Andy Rathbun, Jeff Rugan, Christopher Savage and Ken Side.
Three positions on the Spokane Valley City Council are also up for grabs this year, with incumbent Councilwoman Brandi Peetz and Councilman Arne Woodard facing challengers. Peetz is being challenged by Michelle Rasmussen and Rocky Samson, while Woodard will face Lance Gurel, Albert Merkel and Adam Smith to retain his seat.
Four candidates have filed for the seat currently held by Spokane Valley City Councilman Sam Wood, who did not file for re-election.
Candidates may withdraw their candidacy by Monday. Voters may submit online or mail registrations to cast ballots in the August primary by July 29, with ballots due Aug. 6. The general election will be held Nov. 5.

Chris Bruzzo, CMO of Electronic Arts (EA), has a passion for "Signature Moves." His career from healthcare marketing to Amazon to Starbucks to EA is already a list of critical career moves, but within those roles, he challenges himself and his team to be constantly on the hunt for a signature move.
What is a signature move? Per Chris, "I think the challenge, especially for marketers, is to take well planned, well-executed marketing strategies and marketing campaigns and deliver them consistently with business results that leverages a moment in culture that really connects emotionally with a group of people. Those tend to be the ones that add up to what I call a signature move." Chris shared a few examples from his career, including one at Amazon which was both a signature move and a signature miss in retrospect when looking at the rise of YouTube.
Clearly at Starbucks, Chris had a number of signature moves as well, but what really lured him away was the opportunity to be the first CMO of EA since it started in 1982 to bring together the marketing team and transform the relationships with their players. As a company that produces content that evolves the moment it is released, Chris quickly brought together all traditional functions plus publishing, sales and analytics under marketing and has direct responsibility for company revenue.
"Normally the marketer is the storyteller for the product, but at EA, the product is itself a story and an experience that launches on a particular day and then becomes something totally different. The way it becomes something totally different is the engagement of millions of players who actually impact what the story is in the game. And so that's a really fascinating challenge for marketers and one of the most important things that we have to do is become a resource to the game makers to help them identify trends of what's working for players and what isn't."
Tune in to dive deeper into Chris's fantastical world of social gaming, seminal Gen Z insights, real-time player engagement, breaking down boundaries, transforming an internal culture to equal the external brand and how he's gearing up to make more signature moves!

When contemplating the best of any fashion week, the scales are favored to those with the most weight, namely the established houses whose machines have worked out the kinks. But what of those at the other end of the scale? The 'Other' designers whose lift is equally heavy if not more? We at The Impression believe the 'Others' deserve their recognition as these champions fight against all the odds to win the favor of the fashion court.
Despite the naysayers about New York Fashion Week, the week is a source of championing a number of our Top 10 Other Collections of the season. Coming in at the number one slot is none other than Chris Leba's R13 label which was shown in New York
Leba has been slowly redefining the luxury grunge-punk scene elevating from a core of denim to seasonal thematic collections that are well conceived and executed. Leba told us that the collection's inspiration started at thrift stores in Austin, which is also where a city's stylish inhabitants score timeless, well-crafted pieces. He marries high-quality craftsmanship with roughed up edges that don't fall into designer costume and are clothes one find the models actually want to wear off-duty. We look forward to watching his growing influence on the international stage.
While there was plenty to cherish from an array of designers, The Impression's breakout of the season was Khaite, designed by Cate Holstein and shown in New York. Holstein showed one of fashion's most refined and sophisticated collections of this or any fashion week. Her style is all her own but she can stand side-by-side with Phoebe Philo in that both share a fondness for understated elegance that is feminine without being monastic. While the show may have been a debut, the designer certainly has paid her dues having her own namesake collection in the early 2000s, then going on to design at Gap, Maiyet, and Vera Wang before launching Khaite five years ago.
Her collection is like rediscovering an old warm friend you should have never lost touch with. Full of wit, grace, sophistication, and style. Her success is simply a matter of time as her experience is matched with a taste level that deserves international acclaim.– Kenneth Richard, Chief Impressionist
Designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy opted to show Rodarte in Los Angeles this season offering frilly dresses juxtaposed with black leather and Hollywood-red sequins reminded us that there is no business like show business.
Proenza Schouler design duo, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, returned to New York for a second season after showing in Paris, showcasing reconstructed tailoring that matched the times.
London has always relished nurturing nascent talent. This season that talent grew up in terms of the quality of work making it feel as though it is several seasons away from tipping to become a must-see week. JW Anderson and Mary Katrantzou continue to
Milan showcased Act n°1, a womenswear label founded by Luca Lin and Galib Gassanoff in early 2016 in Reggio Emilia, Italy. With less than two years under their belt the duo is quickly becoming Milan's up-and-coming label to keep your eye one. This season the pair designed artistic patterns over printed on jacquard fabrics for elongated silhouettes. The pair is noted for hybrid styles that blend black embroidered tulle with sleek silks. Overall the collection was one of punk romanticism and stole our hearts.
Paris opened with a half day and a surprisingly fully developed collection from the team at Acne Studios. Haider Ackermann continues to walk the fine line between established and breakout. His cut and coolness make us long for Berlin nights. And once again Julien Dossena of Paco Rabanne stole our hearts offering a stunning Magical Mystery Tour mash-up of a collection which deserves a second and third look.
Here are The Impression's Top 10 'Other' fashion shows of the Fall 2019 season as selected by our editorial staff and Chief Impressionist, Kenneth Richard.

The California Highway Patrol said three men on motorcycles were shot, with two of them wounded critically, while riding on the 110 Freeway in the Gardena/Carson area Sunday.
After the shooting they were able to get off the freeway.
The injured men in their early-to-mid-40s were transported to a hospital after emergency crews reached them at an intersection off the freeway.
The Los Angeles County Fire department said paramedics were dispatched at 1:39 a.m. to South Figueroa Street and West 190th Street to treat and transport the injured bikers.
The CHP was notified of the shooting at 1:51 a.m.
Some lanes of the southbound 110 Freeway at the 91 Freeway, as well as nearby transition roads to and from the 91 and 405 Freeways, were closed during the investigation.
The 190th Street off-ramp was also closed. The roads and off-ramp later reopened.
It was not immediately known if the victims were targeted or if the shooting was random, ABC7 reported.
