Marquis Dio Seraceni
If you can take it, it's yours.
Description: He is slightly over average height, with a physique composed of lean muscle. His hair is a lustrous black, and his eyes a dark but vibrant shade of brown. A scar marks the lower right side of his cheek and jaw, creating a memorable fishhook pattern causing a subtle break in his beard. Like the sea, his expressions are sometimes fierce and full of wrath, and other times serene. Something in his eyes always seems to suggest a depth and vastness like that of the waters over which he's prone to sail.
Personality: On the seas, Dio is fierce and stern - a man who understands necessity and uses the force of his personality to enthrall his crew with a sense of purpose and destiny. At other times, he can be personable and warm, a master storyteller, who can draw his listeners into foreign lands or times not their own, to taste victory on their lips, or feel the weight of silver coins passing through their fingers. The nature of his speech is also as mutable as the sea. He can be formal, even eloquent in the courts of Velenosa or Arx, or spit the most vile and base curses with the lowliest of cutthroats. To those inclined to pay close attention, it is clear that whatever lies underneath these cultivated personas has been locked in a well wrought chest, and buried deep.
Background: Little is known about the true origins of Dio, who claims, or at least fails to deny, that his father was Count Paolo Seraceni. His name is first associated with an enrollment in the School of Steel and Silk in Setarco, where he studied under Captain Guelio Busemi in the arts of naval warfare. According to official school documents, he killed another student in a tavern brawl, and was expelled from school. He was given the choice to serve in the Setarco navy or to rot in prison.
After surviving the devastating battle against the forces of the Gyre, Dio was under consideration to become an officer of the Pravus navy, but was captured by a group of Lycene pirates off the coat of Ostria. After apparently managing to murder the captain and dive overboard, he survived four months on a small island near Esterhold, before being rescued by Seraceni sailors and brought to Morisco, where Prisila greeted him as a brother, and granted him command of a ship to sail under the Seraceni banner.
After meeting a woman formerly of House Blanchard while on shore in Ischia, it is said that Dio offered a mountain of silver to Count Philippe, with the promise of much more to come for the hand of Lady Imogen. The offer was accepted, and it was only shortly after that news of Prisila's passing reached Ischia, setting into motion a series of events that culminated in the newly married couple being named Marquis and Marquessa.
Relationship Summary
|Fine taste in clothing and such manners. A pirate you say? Interesting.
|He does not seem like your typical Silk, the Marquis of Seraceni. He sails and takes risks and seems keen on adventure rather than resting in a manor letting his subjects do all of his dirty work. That says something for the man.
|I won't have anyone talking about a bunch of sailors jerking off to pictures of my younger cousin. I don't care who he is. She deserves more respect than that.
|Ruthless Pirate or Dashing Marquis? What does one do when the two may find their way into the same person? Why, you offer them the best damn scotch this side of the ocean, that's what! Seraceni seems a House to watch, not the least of which is due to its Head.
|A shark. A lycene shark that will eat me whole if I let him.
|A lion and a sailor? What a curious combination.
|The Marquis Seraceni is obviously not a man to be trifled with. Quick of wit, even if he claims his sister to wield those particular gifts, he makes for a great drinking companion.
|Marquis Dio is a very intriguing man--especially with talk of a knife-dance!--and I look forward to getting to know him better. I've heard whispers he's a pirate, and if it is true, he's a rather charming and friendly one.
|The Ceraceni pirate that pirates like a legendary pirate pirates. If anyone pirated more piratey, they are surely a dead pirate now.
|Charming and urbane. Something screams -- don't trust him as far as you can throw him. But, probably a good potential business partner.
|The Marquis of Ischia. He seems to be a man of vision and purpose. I can appreciate that.
|Pretty eyes, pirate smile--and the kind of soul to make me open mine.
|A generous fellow who shares his fish and fire. Perhaps he enjoys the taste of his tongue burning, but he was kind towards Resolute.
|A Marquis that appreciates art and rum. Winning combination.
|Rakish man and that is something that I do appreciate. An air of knowing just what it is they dearly do, who they are and their role in our dear Compact.
|Barely met, only know he really is focused when it comes to treasure.
|My new patron, with ambitions to match my own. I have to wonder if all pirates are so alluring, or if it's just this one, whose bearing is mercurial, whatever it needs to be in the moment, and whose intelligence (he chose /me/, after all) is clearly unparalleled.
|Seems like someone I'd be willing to go to sea with. More importantly, seems like someone capable of making it back.
|An assuming, presumptive man who fits the caricature of a pirate. His men appear loyal though, and that bespeaks some qualities worth following.
|Genial, friendly, and ready with a smile. They say Ischia breeds cutthroats and pirates. It's always a good idea to befriend a pirate who knows how to hide it behind a smile, because you really wouldn't want one as your enemy.
|Not what I'd say a genteel one, but he certainly has a commanding word! Quite grateful that he knows how to break up a fight.
|Almost...ALMOST...as frightening as my sister. For a moment! I think that I'll hear more tales of his adventures with the Explorer's Guild sometime in the future.
|A pirate with the charm of a Lycene lord. That's a dangerous combination.
|Aye, that's one of the pirate Lords I met on my first night in Arx... I hear he's a charming fellow - to some.
|What. Are. Your. Priorities.
|A rather notorious Marquis of a rather notorious house. He always seems to be surrounded by some of his crew and they clearly respect him, which labels him a good leader. Given their boisterous nature I bet their presence is at least partly meant to make sure it is them, and not him, that most people actually remember.
|Dancing to the edge of avarice.
|They call him a pirate king; I think of him as a practical trader. I'll bet he has better stories than I to tell.
|His associate pulled two knives when he spilt wine all over himself. I don't think he's a very good or noble man.
|A man of mystery. A Marquis of the Seraceni. I find him rather intriguing.
|Used to think silks were ridiculous. Maybe that's why he didn't get tricked by Allicot Percival Thoroughgood. Dunno him, but he loves his wife. The kinda person who's down for change, at least some sorts of change.
|My favorite pirate of all time! Would sail again!
|He is both more sentimental than I would have guessed and more considerate regarding the fate of those he freed from slavery upon the islands. In short, he is not entirely what I would expect from a man with the reputation of a ruthless pirate.
|I knew that the Countess' party would be delightful, but I was quite happy to meet the Marquis and his wife! An art-lover and possible Bard's College patron who sings sea shanties? I know that we are going to be the best of friends just from that eclectic description!
|What a charming corsair. He's got the roguish good looks too, hard to find any complaints when a man looks that good. He's got this honesty about him that cuts through any of the other qualities of his person, even though it seems reserved for those he respects and only then.
|A sailor who seems to...have fine tastes.
|A pirate he may be, but the man does the work of the gods. I am glad he called on my blade, and would proudly fight beside him again...I hope this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
|He seems to be a shrewd businessman, whatever else he might be as well.
|As good at shouting as he is at dancing, which is not something to sniff at!
|You seem charming and kind enough, but the company you keep makes me wary. I'll be interested in what the family says about you.

Yes, times are tough and a backyard fire or bonfire by the river can ease tension and bring a sense of normality to what are very stressful and strange times.
There is really nothing better — or perhaps more Squamish — than standing around a campfire, with a beverage, roasting marshmallows, surrounded by our stunning landscape.
But during this pandemic, and given what we have seen so far, a campfire ban should be put in place in Squamish until fall.
The ban put in place April 17 was lifted on Tuesday.
But the fire chief has the authority to place a campfire ban at any time and for any duration.
And he should, because, unfortunately, we can't trust everyone to treat fire with the respect it deserves.
That has been proven time and again.
The reckless few ruin it for the responsible many.
We are not even close to summer and fire has already been a burden on our community.
April 9, two houses went up in flames on Fourth Avenue, displacing two families.
Over Easter weekend, fire crews battled a house fire on Government Road, and doused a small brush fire.
Squamish Fire Rescue also received three calls for illegal burns over the Easter weekend.
From April 14 to 20, Squamish RCMP responded to seven fire complaints. The calls were for backyard, camp, and beach fires, according to police.
"These types of calls unnecessarily strain ...police and fire resources," said Cpl. Angela Kermer in the weekly RCMP media briefs.
And of course, we've seen the wildfire in Upper Squamish that cost several families their homes and cost many others their sense of peace as they were displaced for days.
We also had the brush fire in Valleycliffe that took 10 fire fighters and locals to stamp out.
Not all fires are easily prevented.
Lightning, for example, could still cause more wildfires this season.
If a fire ban can lessen the number of preventable out of control fires, let's do that.
With the pandemic, there is no room for mistakes and when campfires are allowed, history teaches us, mistakes will be made.
Early research suggests wood smoke could increase the risk that wildfire firefighters will develop more severe COVID-19 symptoms.
The same is likely true for residents with lung issues who are exposed to the same smoke.
Luckily, our air quality wasn't so bad with the Magee Road fire, but it could have been. Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald told The Chief he drove up from the city to double-check our air quality during the fire, because it was a concern.
If another wildfire comes close to town, it puts our first responders and some Squamish residents at increased risk of contracting the most serious form of COVID-19.
Not to mention that having to fight a fire puts responders and anyone evacuated at increased risk of contracting the virus just by virtue of them having to be out among more people.
Campfires are awesome, but let's wait until we aren't also battling a global pandemic to enjoy them.

I recently spoke with Debbie Matis of Rebirth Homes in Riverside, California about what they have been currently achieving, and what their needs are since we will be donating all net proceeds to RH until September 7th. RH houses Riverside County victims of sex trafficking in a protective, healing and nurturing environment for 2 years, AND IT'S ALREADY WORKING!
In the 10 months since the first home opened, Debbie has been amazed at how quickly they have been able to help 21 women heal and move forward in reaching their personal goals. 11 women are living in the supervised house and 10 are being helped by Rebirth Homes to varying degrees. RH is more than a house, it's a home of healing. You can feel the warmth and relief in Debbie's voice as she talks about seeing women transform; who have come from a place of no hope - to leaping forward to hoping and dreaming again. These women finally feel free to dream of a future - as some finish high school and others enter college and attain jobs. Rebirth Homes is there to help them achieve their personal goals that before seemed washed away with their tears.
As you can imagine, it takes many resources to keep this organization running. They need our help and Debbie makes sure to state that even $5 makes a difference in being able to provide the necessities these women need on their way to recovery. Food is of course the highest cost, so all Heroes 4 Victims net proceeds will be currently going toward filling that need. There are other opportunities to help though. If you wish to do something more, or your family or organization would like to help RH grow toward greater sustainability, please contact them at email@example.com or 951-394-8142 to find out how you can do that. RH is also in need of part time and full time employees and volunteers. These positions are also listed on their site.
Please order our baked goods in our online bakery for delivery to Corona, Riverside, Norco and Eastvale every Friday, except August 17th through September 7th at www.heroes4victims.com/shop

Posted: 8/20/2004 9:13:15 PM EST
OK, so I was out shooting my Beretta .22 A out in a field behind my house trying to find some good ammo for it, When out of no were this thunder storm pops up. I go inside to look up the storm on the net to see were it came from...And my mother is telling me, it looks like it is going to hail...Being a dumbass me and my dad ignore her...Well five minutes later all hell breaks lose and it starts hailing golf ball size hail...So now I have 14 dents in my brand new Dodge...I really dont want to pay the $500 for my insurance and was wonder how much paintless dent repair cost...anyone know? or have had this done?...THanks
My Father-in-law does it and charges around $50 per dent, less so if there are more than one dent per panel. Given that you have so many dents, you may be able to get a discount.
Call the dent guy and find out. He'll probably want to take a look at it first.
What if the Hokey-Pokey is really what it's all about?
dosen't insurance cover that repair, pretty neat to watch the process
"Driver carries at least 300 rds"
$75 for the first dent per panel, $15 each additional per panel here. I got it done about 8-9 months ago, and the guy told me the dents I had would be difficult to come out completely. For the money paid, I was originally thrilled - looked like some rippling in the paint when you looked at it on an angle, but the surface felt smooth. However, since then, the dents have actually seemed to come back a bit - I don't know if this is typical or just because of the difficulty of my dents, but now I can sort of see the individual "poke marks" of the tools they use to push the dents out. Still, for the amount of money, I am satisfied, but realize that it may not come out perfect. From what I was told when researching it myself, everything depends on the skill of the guy doing it, so you may want to ask around first. Used auto lots hire these guys out a lot, so if you happen to know anyone in that business, find out who they use.
However, for the amount of dents you have, you're probably approaching your $500 deductable anyway. Since it would be a no-fault comp claim (and are you sure your deductable is $500 - that's high for comp, although more normal for collision), and not collision, hopefully it won't really effect your rates. If that's the case, it really may be better to submit it to the insurance co. for traditional body repair.
All depends on the dents. Sheet metal thins as it stretches, when you try to move it back there is usually excess. That's why there is such a thing as a "shrinking" hammer used in the traditional bodyshop.
Buy all the justice you can afford!!
I had some work done on my truck and it was $80 per pannel. I had one bad dent at the top outside of the box where I had lost control of a heavy piece of firewood. It was very noticable. After the guy "repaired" it, I can just barely make out were it is. If you didn't know where to look you'd never see it. He used angled rods to pry and bend it back into shape. He spent a lot of time on that one dent; the others went pretty fast. I thought it was well worth the $. Be aware, like everything else in life, some guys (gals too!) are more skilled than others.
I found my guy by observing him coming out of the ford dealer and I wrote down his phone number located on his van and gave him a call. I was having some work done on one of the Toyotas at the dealer and talked to a lady that had been run into by a bike. The dealer had arranged for the guy they use to come over and fix her car for her (a deal between the lady and the fixer).
Point: find out who does the work for the car dealers. Good luck.
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women! -Conan
Yep, tits are like toy trains. Meant for kids, but it's the dads who play with them. -TexasEd
One time I took my vehicle through a huge snow drift, and made it. When I got home I had a huge dent in the drivers door. I about shit - I took a toilet plunger put Vaseline along the rim of it and pulled the dent out --- worked fine I was so happy, saved me a ton of bucks.
If your not the lead dog, the view never changes

Gameday Program | BIG EAST Championship Central
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Fifth-seeded Notre Dame will take on fourth-seeded Syracuse at 10:00 a.m. (CT) on Friday (Nov. 18) in the opening round of the 2011 BIG EAST Conference Volleyball Championship. Hosted by Marquette, the three-day event will be held on campus at the Al McGuire Center.
Notre Dame last visited the Al McGuire Center just last week while falling to Marquette, 3-0, during the final weekend of the regular season.
The Irish (15-11 overall, 8-6 BIG EAST) were also defeated earlier this season by Syracuse (19-11, 8-6) but have never dropped two straight against the Orange in the history of the 20-match series.
Syracuse returns to the BIG EAST Championship after missing out on the showdown in 2010, while Notre Dame – which has nine BIG EAST tournament titles under its belt – reached the conference tournament for the 17th time in as many seasons since joining the league.
Though all 16 members of the BIG EAST Conference field women's volleyball teams, Providence ceased its league participation in the sport after the 2002 season. The other 15 schools take part in round-robin play during the regular season, and the top eight teams then participate in the BIG EAST Championship, a single-elimination tournament with the winner receiving the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. This championship format is a departure from the traditional four-team event that had been in place when the Irish first joined the league (with the exception of 1999, when the league experimented with an expanded three-day, six-team event).
Notre Dame has experienced unprecedented success in the 15 years since joining the league in 1995. The Irish have compiled a 180-31 (.853) regular-season mark, highlighted by nine tournament titles and winning streaks of 45 and 35 consecutive matches.
Notre Dame once earned 58-straight victories at home in BIGâ⒬ˆEASTâ⒬ˆregular-season play. Irish volleyball squads carried a home conference winning streak of 74 straight matches from 1991 to 2004, which includes wins over both Midwestern Conference and BIG EAST opponents. Notre Dame has streaked through the BIG EAST regular season slate seven times without a loss (most recently in 2009 after going 14-0) while becoming just the second team to go undefeated since the league adopted the 14-match format in 2005.
The Irish have won nine BIG EAST Tournament championships, posting a 29-7 (.806) mark in the event while reaching the final match in its first 12 tournaments. After taking a one-year hiatus from the finals, the Irish returned in 2008 before falling to Louisville.
Notre Dame has also dominated the league's postseason awards, winning both player-of-the-year and coach-of-the-year awards on six occasions. On nine occasions, Irish players have been named the league tournament's most outstanding player. Notre Dame student-athletes have garnered 56 all-conference accolades – including 30 first-team honors.
Prior to joining the BIG EAST, Notre Dame was a member of the North Star Conference from 1983-87 and the Midwestern Collegiate Conference from 1990-94. The Irish won regular-season and tournament titles in the NSC in 1986 and 1987, and then captured both the regular-season and tournament championships in the MCC from 1991-1994.
In 25 years of conference participation, Notre Dame has won 17 regular-season crowns and 15 league tournaments while compiling a 237-44 (.843) mark in regular-season conference matches.

Cellular microRNA detection with miRacles
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding regulatory RNAs that can repress gene expression post-transcriptionally and are therefore increasingly used as biomarkers of disease. Detecting miRNAs can be arduous and expensive as they require amplification, labelling and radioactive probes. In a recent report published on Science Advances, Arun Richard Chandrasekaran and co-workers at the RNA Institute and Department of Biological Sciences, at the University of Albany, State University of New York, reported on a single-step, non-enzyme microRNA detection assay using conformationally unresponsive DNA nanoswitches.
The scientists named the assay 'miRacles,' to abbreviate 'micro-RNA activated conditional looping of engineered switches'. The assay demonstrated subattomole and single-nucleotide specificity using an agarose gel electrophoresis readout. In the experiments, they detected cellular microRNAs from RNA extractions obtained from differentiating muscles at the nanogram-scale. The scientists presented a cost-effective experimental setup to detect miRNAs in an hours' time frame to provide a compelling alternative to the existing methods of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Northern blotting to quantify the regulatory genetic materials.
miRNAs can regulate many biological processes during normal physiological development and disease by affecting cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in vivo. The expression of miRNAs can be quantified in tissues, cells and body fluids as stable biomarkers for cellular events and disease diagnosis, highlighting the importance of their detection. Nevertheless, miRNA detection is challenging due to low abundance, small size and similarities in sequence. The biomolecules comprise approximately 0.01 percent of the total RNA content and individual mRNA copies per cell range can widely vary. Additionally, miRNAs in a family can differ by a single nucleotide, while specific miRNAs can be regulated during disease and regular cellular function. As a result, the strategies of detection for miRNA require high specificity and the ability to correctly identify a few molecules from a sample abundant with predominant RNA molecules.
Traditional methods for miRNA detection include Northern blotting, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), next-generation sequencing and microarray based hybridization to separate the miRNA signal from noise. Of the methods specified, Northern blotting can directly identify native miRNAs, while others rely on additional labelling methods or step-wise amplification, adding to the cost, complexity and performance of detection. For example, innovative DNA nanostructures can be used for miRNA detection, where various research groups have previously combined nanostructures with nanoparticles, hybridization chain reactions and transition-metal dichalcogenide nanosheets to enable the process.
In the present work, Chandrasekaran et al. developed a relatively simple DNA-based device to solve a complex biomedical challenge. In the miRacles assay, the scientists used a 'smart reagent' composed of rationally designed DNA nanoswitches for simple and cost-effective native miRNA detection without using specialized equipment in the lab. DNA nanoswitches were originally designed as tools for single-molecule biophysics experiments and later recognized for their capacity to detect and quantify biomolecular interactions using gel electrophoresis. Previous collaborative research efforts by the same research team focused on molecular detection to quantify protein levels and detect synthetic DNA sequences as a proof-of-concept.
The present work expanded on preliminary studies and concepts to produce user-ready multiplexed miRNA detection and quantification. The scientists analyzed nanograms of cellular RNA extracts in a short time-frame using an experimental setup built using common laboratory supplies. They designed the DNA nanoswitch as a linear duplex that formed a loop in the presence of the target miRNA molecule. To construct the nanoswitch, Chandrasekaran et al. used the DNA origami approach by hybridizing short oligonucleotides complementary to a single-stranded DNA scaffold.
They designed two distant "detector" strands with overhangs complementary to different segments of the target miRNA. When the miRNA recognized and bound to the construct, the switch reconfigured from the linear "off" state to the looped "on" state. They quantified the two states using standard agarose gel electrophoresis to detect the signal arising from the looped nanoswitch. The signal was only amplified by a single miRNA of interest, the results compared favorably with the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique.
To validate the concept, the team of researchers chose a let-7b target miRNA due to its highly conserved family of more than a dozen-related miRNAs that varied by one or more nucleotides. These miRNAs were suited due to their critical role in biological functions and dysregulation in multiple human diseases. To eliminate cross-talk and noise between the nanoswitch and the target—which led to reduced signal intensity compared to a perfect match, the scientists rationally redesigned the nanoswitches. To achieve perfect specificity, they destabilized the interaction on the side containing the mismatch. Results of the study illustrated high specificity of the assay thus developed, providing an answer to a key challenge in miRNA detection that culminated from a high signal/noise ratio.
The low abundance of miRNAs also required high-sensitivity of detection, which the scientists achieved by optimizing the protocol. They then performed similar experiments for two other variants of miRNAs (miR-15 a and miR-206), resulting in subattomole to single-attomole levels of detection. For instance, for a low concentration of a target sample (6 pM), the signal increased for 4 hours, with little change beyond that timeframe.
Since multiple mRNAs can also alter their expression during different cellular or disease stages, the phenomenon required additional capabilities of detection. To accomplish this in the experimental setup, Chandrasekaran et al. used the programmability of nanoswitches and developed a multiplexing system capable of detecting multiple miRNAs from the same sample. They placed the detector strands at desired locations of the DNA scaffold, resulting in loops of different sizes when bound to the target miRNA. The loop size of the nanoswitch thus determined gel migration, resulting in a unique band on the gel for accurate detection. For the experiment, the scientists chose four miRNAs present in muscle cells; miR-206, miR-125b, miR-24 and miR-133-3p and a negative control miRNA; miR-39 specific to the species Caenorhabditis elegans.
Within 50 ng of small RNAs, the scientists detected the four miRNAs at various expression levels, while confirming no detection with the negative control. The multiplexing strategy allowed the scientists to directly compare miRNA levels in a single sample, without labeling or amplification. In total, the work provided an additional step in the direction of expanding the throughput of the miRacles assay. The capability can be expanded to accommodate more miRNAs per switch as well.
In this way, Chandrasekaran et al. substantially moved forward from their preliminary proof-of-concept detection of synthetic DNA sequences; to establish, characterize and optimize a ready-to-use miRNA detection assay with biological extracts. The demonstrated work was a first example to use DNA nanoswitches to detect miRNAs from a true biological sample. While the performance of the miRNA assay was competitive compared to other commonly used techniques, the selectivity of 1 nucleotide seen in the present work was difficult to accomplish with existing methods. The sensitivity of miRacles also outperformed Northern blotting and microarrays. The assay could measure miRNAs without needing amplification, with simpler protocols and without the added error of extra sample processing. The protocol simply mixed the nanoswitches with the sample liquid for gel electrophoresis, to produce high quality results in the lab. The research work is potentially transferrable from biological to clinical samples to diagnose and monitor disease.
More importantly, the present work aligns with the broader concept of frugal science; a promising vision of cost effective science that has already produced low-cost solutions to blood centrifugation and water purification techniques in biomedical engineering. Chandrasekaran et al. aim to continue to contribute to the emerging trend in science, by disrupting the existing cost/performance relationship to provide broad scale access to simple miRNA detection methods with mix-and-read smart reagents.

I'm a speech scientist at Cobalt
Speech & Language, a company that designs custom speech
recognition, text-to-speech, and dialogue models. While at Cobalt
I've worked on some neat projects, including language modeling for
recognizing air traffic control speech and creating an online
training system for ASR models. I am currently in the process of
applying to PhD programs in computer science, to start in 2021. See
the Research section for some of the areas
of machine learning that I find fascinating.
I love using math and code to solve complex problems. I wrote my
first lines of Python in 2012, and it was there that I developed a
love for software. I graduated from BYU with a BS in Applied and
Computational Mathematics (ACME)
with an emphasis in linguistics and a minor in computer science.
(ACME coursework focuses on the rigorous math for data science,
modeling, optimal control, and machine learning.)
During my undergrad I interned with Cobalt
Speech (my current employer), as well as Emergent Trading, an
automated trading firm that made
the news for reporting a problem in a Eurodollar exchange
rule that unfairly favored larger competitors. (I developed the
analysis tools that were used to track the issue down and determine
how our opponent was taking advantage of the rule.)

My first foray into ML research was when I received a grant to apply
a variable-order CRF model to a morphological parsing task in
Basque, achieving 71.3%
accuracy. A few months later I started working with the computational
photonics group at CamachoLab, where I
worked to simulate photonic components using DNNs as replacements
for expensive FDTD simulations when designing chip components.
Here are some of my current interests:
In my spare time I'm working on an app for language learners
can use to develop their vocabulary. Users can add words to their
active list, and the app will recommend additional words that they
might also want to learn. I hope this app will make it easier for
displaced people to adapt to the culture where they find themselves,
even when their language skills are intermediate or advanced.
Here are some projects I've worked on:
an attention review
I felt I had a poor understanding of attention mechanisms, so for a
writing assignment I
created a literature review of the important work being done with
neural attention.
I wrote about the various formulations of attention found in the
literature, and
discussed important applications. I learned a lot as I studied this.
You can check out
my write-up here.
speech2phone was a class project I worked on with two other
ACME students our senior year. We tried to tackle the problem of
phoneme recognition on the TIMIT corpus by splitting it into the
tasks of segmentation and classification. We had some fun exploring
various algorithms and architectures. We didn't yet have a good
sense for the current state of the art research and so we sort of
threw everything at the problem and watched what happened. You can
see the repo here and
the final report here.
SLURM_gen makes it easy to generate and handle arbitrarily-sized
datasets on a SLURM HPC environment. I used this tool during my
undergrad while working on computational photonics research. (I used
the BYU supercomputer to generate FDTD simulations, which were then
used as training data for the neural network model.)

One&Other and New Visuality are excited to announce the return and relaunch of New Chapter Arts Prize, the inclusive arts competition open to both amateur and professional artists based in the region.
Hidden II is an arts prize with a social conscience, aiming to provide a platform for creative minds (and hands) to explore and express social issues. Following the success of the New Chapter Arts Prize back in 2012, this year's competition looks to venture further with the theme of "Hidden", looking past our city walls and infamous heritage, and to the true realities of the poverty in our city, that need to be unmasked before they can be solved.
Looking to be part of the solution to alleviate poverty in the UK, Hidden II aims to bring art and artists into the conversation, with an array of interpretations and experiences.
The art will fall into one of three categories: Painting, Photography or Illustration. We don't mind how you interpret 'Hidden", we care that you are bold, original and have something to say through whichever medium you choose. And that you say it so articulately that it brings the issue to the front of everybody's mind.
Each fortnight throughout the competition, Greg and Ails McGee from According to McGee will talk you through every step of the process, critiquing the entries to date and being transparent in their decisions. The overall winner will then be announced by our panel of judges at a culminating event on the 6 June at One&Other's very own Creative Chapel.
Winner Showcasing your work to the city the winning piece will receive a citywide exhibition across public spaces in York, as well as featuring in the window of According to McGee and exhibiting at York's Fairness Conference on the 9 June. * The winner will also received coverage in One&Other.
Runners Up Each category will see shortlisted entries that will be showcased at the Hidden exhibition at York's Fairness Conference on the 9 June.
*The winner will also be given the opportunity to have prints of the piece sold through According to McGee. Arrangements for this are to be confirmed between the winning artist and the business once the winner is announced.
1) Everyone is able to submit as many pieces of work as they wish into any of the three categories, but please don't submit the same piece of work twice!
2) All entries should be accompanied by the artists name (you) and contact details along with a brief description of the work and how it relates to our brief of 'HIDDEN', without this information we can't accept your entry!
3) Only works within the mediums of photography, painting and illustration can be official entries into the competition.
4) Entries can be submitted with a image via email (don't forget your details!) to [email protected] or [email protected] or, for those without access to the internet, you can drop in a photo of your work to According to Mcgee, 8 Tower Street, York. Images are to be sized At least 1,600 pixels wide (if a horizontal image) or 1,600 pixels tall (if a vertical image). Total file size must be 5 megabytes (MB) or less.
5) The deadline for entries is 1 June. Winners from each category will automatically make the shortlist for the final exhibition.
6) A winner and a first runner up from each category from the shortlist will be awarded an exhibition at the York Fairness Conference on the 9 June.Any questions you may have please do get in touch! You can catch us at [email protected] or [email protected]New Chapter Art Prize

ATLANTA—Will Rogers traveled from San Francisco to Atlanta just to celebrate a historic moment. He is president of the Trust for Public Land (TPL), the California-based national conservation group that turned over a house to the National Park Service on Oct. 28.
The house, at 523 Auburn Ave. in Atlanta, was the last property to complete the block which holds Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth home. TPL has bought and transferred 13 King Historic District properties to the Park Service over 30 years.
TPL buys beautiful or meaningful places with private funds and holds them until governments can turn them into parks. The group has protected islands, farms, forests, and riverbanks. The group made the King Historic District possible by buying and preserving parcels in an area of Atlanta dubbed "Sweet Auburn" starting in the 1980s, when the area was in decline and threatened by a planned highway.
Rogers said the wisdom to go beyond sustainability was the advice of a Hawaiian elder, Auntie Kua. When Rogers asked her what beyond sustainability means, she told him, "Relationship with the land, with nature, and with each other."
Relationships are what brought TPL to Atlanta. The group wants to make sure no child in America is more than a 10-minute walk from a park, a garden, or a safe place to play. The King Historic District, which includes parks and gardens, is part of that vision. During the celebration for TPL's most recent land transfer on Auburn Avenue, students played double-dutch jump rope on the sidewalk and girls from the Coretta Scott King Young Leadership Academy struck poses for cameras in the driveway of one of the houses.
Auburn Avenue was a safe place to play when Martin Luther King Jr. was growing up. According to William Holmes Borders, a descendant of an Atlanta leader, it was the richest black street in America.
"Welcome to my street!" said Mr. Borders during the dedication last week. Speaking as his father, he said "I am the person who first called this area Sweet Auburn." Mr. Borders' father of the same name desegregated Atlanta's buses and persuaded the city to hire black police officers, among many other achievements. He led Wheat Street Baptist Church in the historic district.
Also on hand was Christine King Farris, Martin Luther King Jr.'s sister, and the last member of his nuclear family. She gave up their birth home so it could be preserved as a museum.
"I am truly thankful," said Ms. Farris. "This is living history. I saw some children, even some grandchildren of original residents here today."
One such grandchild was Gail Barnes Goodwin. Her grandmother, Annie Johnson, owned the 523 Auburn Ave. house. The substantial Victorian holds "lots of wonderful memories" for Ms. Goodwin. She remembers seeing her neighbor, Dr. King, going down Sweet Auburn to the stores and playing with friends.
The area is famous for conflict resolution, yet the house came to her family with a conflict. A real estate agent sold it twice. "We slept inside that first night and the other family slept in the yard," said Ms. Goodwin. The Johnson family signed their papers 10 minutes before the other, and according to Ms. Goodwin, "That 10 minutes saved us."
City Councilman Kwanza Hall, the son of King staff member Leon Hall, also attended the festivities. He said his father had a quote from Dr. King posted on a wall in their house: "We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools." When he and his brothers fought, Hall said his dad made them look at the sign.
Scores of people came together to celebrate the milestone. Preserving the area is not about looking back, said Georgia TPL Director Helen Tapp.
"[It's about] inter-generational responsibility," said Ms. Tapp. "Responsibility for those who come after us and to those who nurtured us."

"I will be boycotting Manchester's Spar stores from now on"
In the wake of Covid-19, a sign has been spotted stating that 'prices are HIGHER than price marked packets states, on the high demand household items'.
Posted on Reddit, the sign was found in a Spar branch in Manchester, although it has not been confirmed which one, and has led shoppers to suggest they should be 'boycotting' Spar
One Reddit user expressed their anger stating: "I hope the government come down hard on those companies which are inflating the prices on household items and food due to the Coronavirus".
According to BBC News, UK retailers have been warned that they face prosecution if they exploit the coronavirus scare to hike prices for products such as hand sanitisers and face masks.
It has been reported that some stores have hiked prices up by a maximum of 2,629%.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has told suppliers their actions are being monitored and they must act responsibly going forward.

The sell-out crowd
Tony Blankley offers an Iraq comparison, no, not to Vietnam, but rather about Munich and Iraq [Townhall.com 05Ag18]
"stopping the killing" doesn't always stop the killing, while surrendering to violence rarely leads to "sanity." Sept. 29, 1938's "progress along the road to sanity" ultimately cost the world the death of 60 million souls before it reached VJ Day on Aug. 15, 1945.
The warning is for those who castigate our leaders for waging war.
Today's politicians please take note: History tends to remember harshly those statesmen who sell out their and other nations — even if it is done under cover of impeccable diplomatic language and with the best of intentions to assure the peace.
Appeasement is a dishonesty to one's values at its very base. It can be like ignoring shop lifting at a store. It might not seem like it has anything as far as you are concerned. But when the store goes out of business and you loose the access to resources it sure does.

After India imposed restrictions on the trade recently, the markets have been facing a shortage of many necessary imports.
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) report said that the economic impact of the outbreak in the mainland-China will be worse than the SARS outbreak in 2003, as the world was less dependent on China back then.

India has imported goods from China worth $52 billion between April and December 2019, which depicts a huge trade dependence bilaterally between both the countries.
India's current gross domestic product (GDP) growth slipped to nearly 4.7% in October-December 2019. The halt in the imports of more than one-fifth of its total non-oil, non-gold goods from China, has contributed to 7-year-low GDP marked by India.

When Alexander the Great reached the southeast Mediterranean he encountered resistance along the coast of what is now Israel. To deter any other rebellious towns he crucified 2,000 men, and from that point town after town surrendered to him unconditionally.
Then he reached Gaza. The local population made it clear that he was unwelcome and began an intense military campaign against him. Eventually, as many people in Gaza will happily remind you, Alexander left having contracted the disease that would eventually kill him.
There have been many subsequent invasions Napoleon, the Ottomans, the British in this narrow strip of territory into which 1.4 million Palestinians and 8,000 Israeli settlers are now squeezed.
The two sides of present-day Gaza are the poverty-stricken Palestinian population and the Israeli settlers who control about 45% of the land. But neither population is united; the divisions within each are as real as those between them. And the Israeli soldiers present in numbers to protect the settlers are now charged with overseeing their withdrawal - and if necessary, eviction - by August.
The settlers have initiated an effective grassroots campaign across Israel to protest against the withdrawal plan of their prime minister, Ariel Sharon. They have widely distributed their orange ribbon symbol, and plastered the highways and byways of Israel with posters labelling Sharon a traitor. Some of their more virulent tactics have come in for heavy criticism; nine Israeli generals, whose parents survived the Nazi holocaust, expressed their disgust at attempts by some settlers to link the removal of settlements with that catastrophe.
The settlers are far from homogeneous. They include religious Zionists from Hebron, growing in numbers in the southern part of the Gaza settlement blocs, who believe that disengagement is a denial of the will of God; but there are also social-welfare recipients with their bags packed, who are ready to go upon payment of substantial compensation packages.
The scenes of settlers attacking Israeli soldiers and stoning Palestinian civilians have shocked official Israel. Israeli commentators have been quick to state that this uncovers the truth of settler behaviour inside the West Bank and Gaza strip for years. Even hardcore settlers in the Gush Katif bloc of settlements southern Gaza publicly question why the Israeli military allowed these even more right-wing settlers into the strip.
Two polarised peoples
The Palestinian civilian population exist around, but subjugated to, these settlers, in Gazas dense and decayed refugee camps. Among them there also exists a huge variety of opinions and attitudes to disengagement. Armed groups such as Hamas are keen to prove that this is an Israeli withdrawal under fire; when the moment comes they may be unable to resist the opportunity to fire their crude home-made rockets into the settlements perhaps when they are likely to inflict maximum casualties for maximum publicity.
Alongside them are Palestinian NGOs who agree with Ephraim Sneh, member of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) and chief Sharon adviser, that disengagement will be formaldehyde for a Palestinian state liquid in which dead bodies are preserved. Somewhere in the shadows is the shaken Palestinian National Authority a body with little political or institutional authority after the years of destruction following the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000.
Amidst this diversity, there is a rare unity between groups like Hamas and the Israeli settlement movement over the disengagement plan. Each side insists, albeit in the terms of their own language, that Israel is retreating because of military failure. Palestinian civil societys views coincide remarkably with those of Dov Weisglass in believing that disengagement is a momentous setback for Israel.
But such surface agreement belies the substantial divisions between Israelis and Palestinians that are being cemented by physical separation (it is illegal for Israeli citizens to enter the occupied territories and virtually impossible for Palestinians to enter Israel). The polarisation between the two peoples is being institutionalised, making communication with and understanding of the other an even more remote prospect.
Palestine by the sea
One of the few certainties of the plan is that as a result of an agreement brokered by the United States, the institutional fabric of the settlements will be destroyed by the Israeli military. The fate of the settlements causes alarm on both sides: the Israelis worry about a public-relations disaster if it demolishes homes the Palestinians badly need, while the Palestinian National Authority fear that the settlements well-appointed homes would be seized by unruly elements in a way that would tarnish its fading authority and do little to alleviate Gazas extraordinarily acute housing crisis.
But what will come next? A long-term suggestion floated in the international community is to build a tourist-friendly Costa-del-Gaza. The rumour that the special envoy James Wolfensohn may secure a deal to build a port connecting Gaza and Egypt, and even an underground trench linking Gaza to the West Bank, may support this. But even if the reality that such construction is about institutionalising war rather then constructing peace is ignored, it is not clear that such plans will meet Gazas essential needs: for economic investment, work, and more then anything housing.
The sheer lack of horizontal space to build on, a growth rate that on current trends will double Gazas population every eighteen years, and an Israeli military policy of house demolitions (1,200 homes in 2004 alone, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights) contribute to this severe crisis.
The value of land in Gaza, in financial and status terms, is colossal. Land is the prize of the wealthy, the powerful and the connected. Most refugees in Gaza, who are financially and socially excluded, feel a sense of dislocation from land. Some are reluctant to own land because of national sentiment; they believe they will one day return to their family lands inside what became (after the 1948 nakba) the established state of Israel. Most others are simply too poor to own land and will benefit substantially if the land inside the former settlement blocs can be converted into high-rise, low-cost housing.
The symbolic opportunity for thousands of Palestinians to reclaim land, parts of which they have had no access to since 1967, and to live on this land, is highly significant. The land where the settlements lie stretches along much of Gazas magnificent coastline; Israeli surfers have prized it for years for its hospitable waves and sandy beaches.
But Palestinian civilians living in Gaza heard all this talk of Costa-del-Gaza and newfound freedoms during the Oslo process. The European Union and other donors poured money into the Gaza strip to the extent that it become the most aid-funded place per capita in the world. Yet only a few years later the Oslo process, now almost completely exhausted, erupted into the second, al-Aqsa intifada. The clear failure to end the Israeli occupation and to include essential and basic human rights into the peace process can be attributed to Oslos failure and the violence that ensued.
There may be a repeat of this pattern in the coming years. Gaza may well be transformed into an area packed with concrete towers housing desperate Palestinian families with some select beach hotels and surfing facilities. This is a prospect that many Palestinian and international civil-society activists view with trepidation. Some families will welcome the housing, the access to the sea, possible associated income and living-space; but once the euphoria wears off most Palestinians will realise that what Israeli human rights organisations Btselem and Hamoked call one big prison will have become an even bigger prison than before. For the security of Palestinians and Israelis alike this would sow not the seeds of peace but the seeds of further tragedy.

Dear Fairview Families:
A bit of the Luck O' the Irish was with us today as truly magical things were happening all around the city today, at ALL grade levels throughout the district. I'm so proud of the students and teachers who hit the ground running today, moving forward with our home-based teaching and learning program. We are so blessed to have Board of Education members and a community that has supported the vision and development of our technology infrastructure over the years, leading up to where we are now. I would wager that we are better positioned than nearly any district in the state, and with the amazing Warrior teachers and support staff, we are STILL making great things happen every day in the midst of these difficult times.
Here is a bunch of information, some you may have already seen, some is new. Please review each item so that you are aware of all of the current information available and so that you don't miss out on any of the extended supports that are provided.

These gluten free and keto cheesecake brownies are the best of both worlds! An incredibly fudgy low carb brownie is paired with tangy swirls of creamy cheesecake. The best part? Just 1.5g net carbs!
Oh, and if baking with cups rather than grams is your thing, just click on US Cupsfor an instant conversion.
See recipe video for guidance on the brownies!
Position a rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat to 350°F/180°C. Line with parchment paper the bottom and sides of a 8x8-inch baking pan. Set aside.
Make the cheesecake layer first. Add cream cheese and sweetener to a bowl and cream using an electric mixer (faster and easier) or whisk until creamy and smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Set aside.
Whip up a batch of our (suuuper fudgy!) keto brownies. Please note that your batter with xylitol and allulose will be thinner than with erythritrol (where you can add an extra egg or a couple tablespoons of almond milk to loosen up a bit for cleaner swirls!- see brownie post for more deets).
Pour 2/3 of the mixture into prepared pan, followed by the cheesecake layer. Add the remaining brownie batter in 4 dollops (see pictures in post for reference), and swirl the two batters together using a knife.
Bake for 15-25 minutes (we do 23), or until the center is just set and still jiggly. This really does vary (a lot!!) from oven to oven (think convection etc), so give them a check from minute 15 the first time around.
Allow to cool completely on a rack. Lift brownies using the edges of the parchment paper and cut into desired size (we do 16!). To get extra clean edges, place in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to cutting.
Store in the fridge for 3 days and freeze for up to 3 months (they freeze great!).
*The lower quantities are for more keto-adapted palates, while the larger ones will get you more 'traditional' sweetness. Please see section on sweeteners for deets and possible substitutions. Just keep in mind that stevia doesn't work (at all!) for these!
**If measuring the cocoa with tablespoons rather than grams, be mindful of how you scoop as you can end up with a lot more cocoa powder than needed. Drop the cocoa powder into the tablespoon and level it, rather than scooping it out of the bag with the tablespoon (which can lead to overpacked tablespoons!).
***Must use eggs at room temp. Reason being that if you add cold eggs, you'll solidify the batter and won't be able to mix the flours properly.
Please note that we always subtract sugar alcohols from total carbs to calculate net carbs (as is customary).

Abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized with an acute systemic vasculitis of the medium- and small-sized vessels. This disease mainly involves children within the age of 6 months to 5 years and it is often self-limited and patients seem to recover well; however, it may lead to devastating and fatal cardiovascular complications such as coronary artery aneurysm. Thus, early diagnosis and appropriate management of this disease have a significant effect on improving the prognosis and preventing its serious complications. Adult-onset KD (AKD) is rare and often misdiagnosed. Here we report a rare case of KD that occurred in a 17-year-old young adult who presented 4 weeks post splenectomy, with clinical signs and symptoms consistent with AKD. This may potentially highlight the association of AKD with infectious etiologies.
Keywords: Kawasaki disease, adult, splenectomy

NORWALK, Iowa -- Wednesday morning, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will tour a small business located just south of Des Moines in Norwalk. It's all a part of her two-day swing through the state.
Just before noon Clinton will stop by Capital City Fruit. This isn't the first time Capital City Fruit has hosted events for politicians. The list of visitors includes U.S. Rep. David Young, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, and U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin.
Brendan Comito says this will be the first time a presidential candidate pays a visit. "It makes me kind of a little bit nervous, but also excited. And everyone is just pitching it to make to really make our place look great so that's something I'm very proud of," said Comito.
Comito says Clinton's aids checked out his facility last week, but didn't tell him who they worked for. On Friday he got the call asking him if Clinton could tour the plant. "I was pretty excited… then you kind of take a deep breath and get a little overwhelmed thinking about all the stuff you have to do to get ready," said Comito.
A small-business round table will follow Clinton's tour. Clinton will sit down with 3-5 other business owners addressing concerns and answering questions.
Comito says his three main concerns as a businessman include rising health insurance costs, immigration reform, and the skills gap in our country's workforce. "There's people that are unemployed over here and there's jobs open here, but the people don't have the skills to match those jobs. So I think that's a critical issue that the next president is going to have to face," said Comito.
