Democrats' Stalingrad: Total defeat. The Counter-coup begins
I have been trying to stay current on the political situation but for the blizzard of information being released daily pertinent to many matters political, but most pointedly on the Müller investigation, aka Witch Hunt (WH).
Many who read this board know that my analyses of Trump politically, as opposed to policy, have been quite appreciative of his genius (scoff, you disbelievers if you will) in maneuvering through a full-blooded Deep State (DS) attack, which actually began at MI-6 in late 2015. Then came tracking the fixing, both locally and nationally by the Dems (e.g., Brenda Snipes of Broward County FL). Future criminal indictments will be forthcoming following Stalingrad*, which occurred today.
To acquaint those who are unfamiliar with WW2, the Battle of Stalingrad was the most lethal battle of WW2. Two things occurred with that defeat: the Wehrmacht was permanently weakened and after that battle, except for the subsequent tank battle at Kursk, the Germans began a never-ending retreat until Berlin was obliterated.
Stalingrad thus is emblematic for a huge battle of any opposing group of interests, people, nations, and money, after which the loser is decisively and irreparably damaged, not to survive the contest.
Briefly re-stated Russiagate was, in the words of Peter Strzok, an insurance policy in the unlikely chance that Trump won the presidency. This is not to overlook the electronic eavesdropping of Trump's personal and business offices, as well as those of his close associates, which is a separate matter from spying. One key element in this debilitate/eliminate Trump plot was the insertion of multiple stooges and patsies by Stefan Halper, a never Trumper who was in the White House until Trump learned about Halper's insertion of Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and George Papadopolous into the campaign. They were used to serve as FISA warrant triggers, despite flimsy reasons, so they could hippity hop two jumps, like a king in a checkers game, to surveil somebody with likely no conceivable connection to anything or anybody.
Müller's credibility has now sunk to lower than Trump's (Trump 30% vs. Müller 28%). His special counsellors are departing the ship, even last week, including the insufferable Andrew "I'm so Proud of You" Weissmann.
Barr, today received the Müller report as final from the SC. Barr will likely rewrite the whole thing, then submit parts to congress, the whole to Trump but possibly none to the public. Fear not, the contents of the WH report will leak steadily to the last drop. Be patient.
Over two years wasted? Yes and No.
Yes, for which most progressives should be thankful. The legislative roadblock has prevented bad legislation (and it's all bad) to pass lots of it (most of which profits the peasants and alligators naught).
No: whether one believes in the DS, one, who cares about these matters that is, or not, we have an intelligence-surveillance-politice-fascist state peopled by a variety of unelected and/or rich people, which ensures that the status quo remains static. This is how the ruling elite perpetuate their greed-beloved position of powers and authority.
Trump, for some reason, unknown to me, the establishment, define it as you may, has incited virulently, rabidly, psychotically hostility to him. No, it's not about wealth. Trump isn't after more money in a substantial way for himself (but family and friends perhaps).
Those who have identified Trump as a juvenile, disorganized, impulsive, sociopathic ne'er do well have grossly underestimated him. Those who have adopted this view have fallen into a 2500 year old trap identified by Sun Tzu: Let your enemy think you are insane, then strike hard when they unpreparedly come to smash you.
Trump has most of America, including those who still believe in Russiagate, attuned to the crimes of Clinton & Co., through his tweets, which, laugh though you may, he uses superbly for his base--don't believe this? Go to most conservative channels and you will find core support is not dwindling, but slowly growing. Don't shoot the messenger folks. That's the evil truth.
Dems have used up every bit of congressional obstruction, as well as State and DOJ obstructions to completely stop Trump. They have held endless committee hearings, both public and secret, about Russiagate. Stasi-like FBI raid on 70 year old Manafort with guns. Mass FBI arresting force against Roger Stone, conveniently televised by CNN, arriving one hour earlier. Multiple Trump associates questioned, requestioned. Lots of Dem noise, getting louder and shriller -- until TODAY.
Almost all Dem ammunition has been exhausted, though an insignificant bit may yet remain. These were expended not only in lawsuits, congressional, DOS, DOJ, CIA resistance efforts. I am not unmindful of numerous false flags, such as the recent episode in Christchurch, NZ. But actions such as those previously would have interrupted the news cycle, slowing the Trumpian counter-attack, the counter coup, successfully less well with each iteration.
The funerals of No Name McCain and GHWB did slow the "great awakening" for several days. Both of these traitors and war criminals were given state funerals. What monumental hypocrisy!
Now the Dems are in a fighting retreat, with Schiffty Schiff fighting a lonely battle to protect, temporarily, the evacuating troops. Adam, what goes around, comes around. From this point on, Republicans will charge the Gates of the Clinton Crime Family. They will not stop.
You should listen to this segment from Sean Hannity today.
Here your campaign plan laid out in broad terms politically, by Hannity. Don't doubt that he and Trump personally communicate. This segment reveals simultaneously a justification for the counter-coup as well as a list of target issues and people. This will go all the way to BHO, but what happens to him is unclear.
In order to make the counter-coup palatable to the citizens, one prong of the response, already in the action phase, is the crusade against pedophilia and child trafficking. These two issues are loathed by 98% of people, regardless of political persuasion. The perversity attempted by those with such sociopathies to "normalize" their perverted behavior have failed, will fail, and will certainly enrage numerous people.
Simultaneously with the anti-trafficking business, Trump's team is going cull Congress, especially Dems but also Never Trumpers, perhaps like Mittens. He has got stuff on everybody, and they know it. Ambassadors, holdovers from BHO, are soon to be removed. The Dem infrastructure will be substantially damaged. Barr IS Trump's man and he is moving as rapidly as circumstances permit. Example in chief: getting Müller to end his commission.
Trump shrewdly allowed the Dems to do the worst they could throw at him in an illegally originated and unethically staffed, rapid anti-Trumpers like AW. "15 Angry Democrats".
Trump got rid of Paul Ryan, anti-Trumper, by holding several weapons over his head, one of which was PR's secretly aiding the dissemination of the Steele Dossier to other Reps, etc. But the deal ensured the Rethug subpoenas from the various involved House oversight committees would be issued, a job the Speaker controls. So the Repugs got their witnesses, even though the questioning was never as incisive as elicited by Gowdy from the rest of them.
How can anybody, except AS, complain about prejudice or obstruction, during the entirety of the WH. Trump patiently waited, until the committee concluded its seemingly rabbit hole-ridden work.
No valid complaint can be wielded by Dems against this.
The Press: Trump is clearly winning the battle against the MSM, whose readership and viewership are steadily dwindling. Despite ongoing purges from many alternate media/social media sites, conservative subscribers are accruing at a greater rate than Dem channels. Despite daily bashings from Clinton News Network, MS-DNC, etc., Trump's using tweet jiu jitsu against a flat-footed dying industry and winning. Watch out Twitter, Facebook (aka LifeLog), Google.
I repeat a statement previously made: if one fails to appreciate an opponent's strength, that confidence contributes to his victory.
To all Hillbots and Democrats, I present for your admonition: Who's Sorry Now?
Yes, I still suspect
that Mueller has been destroying evidence that could harm HRC.
Russia gate was a WH but I do not believe for a minute that
Corruption is not deeply embedded in all institutions of the government by both parties simply for the sole purpose of fleecing the wealth from we the sheeples. If there were an individual courageous enough, selfless enough, and smart enough to take this shitshow down, now would be a great time to get in the game. If Bernie or Tulsie is that person its time to go all in. Including calling out the Clinton mob.
O.k. When is the next meeting for the revolution?

Trump is completely aligned with deep state
in his firing up the war machine against Iran. Period. Everything else is circus. That is what is on their (and Bibi's) agenda. And the Republican machine has his back against the Dem/deep state faction. He's a damned idiot and criminal, just a different variety from the Bushes, Clintons, and Obama. I wouldn't follow him across the street. Just look at our defense budget and tell me the deep state is against him. LOL!
The deep state tried to
overthrow him with their 'insurance policy.'
And they are still working on it. Just because Trump throws some money at the military - which every president has done since the beginning of time - does not mean that there wasn't/isn't some faction working to replace him somehow.
Of course you can.
I'm quotable - yay!
Let's not forget
That Congress gave Trump more in the defense budget than he requested. And that includes many Democrats who voted for it. When it comes to war making, Congress is deeply bipartisan.
"I don't want to run the empire, I want to bring it down!" ~ Dr. Cornel West
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." ~ President John F. Kennedy
Yes, I forgot about that too. nt
I beg to differ
the D's Stalingrad was by empty suit
the retreat was then led by her heinous
the surrender has been orchestrated by Chuckie/Pelosi
none of the above know it though
the right has won, the D's are finished
and we amerikans all pay the price as we
enter further into a rabid racist oligarchy
Buy a Bible don't read it and you'll be a Catholic
Buy a Bible read only what suits you and you'll be an Evangelical
Buy a Bible read it fully, analyze it, reason it and you will be
an Atheist
The Clintons are still, as far as I know, buddies with
the Bushes. Has that changed?
Until it does, a large portion of Republican forces will not, repeat not, attack the Clintons or their political party (and yes, it is theirs). The only Republicans who will attack the Clintons in any real way, by which I mean not just excoriating them in a speech, which the Republicans have been doing since the early 90s, but actually doing something which would inconvenience them, will be the non-Bush-faction Republicans. If you want a reasonable measure of how that breaks down within the Republican party, look at how many Republican politicians and media figures supported Hillary last time. The ones who did are Bush faction. The ones who didn't, probably not.
Unless the alliance between the Clintons and the Bushes has fractured, don't expect the Bush Republicans to do anything new.
"I tell you I'll have nothing to do with the place...The roof of that hall is made of bones." - Fiver
Exit polls not involving George W. Bush or Hillary Clinton tend to be quite accurate.
--Doug Hatlem
And Jebbie has
been squawking about running.
Couldn't GWB run again?
I'm not sure Trump is a genius.
It may just be that he's mad as a hatter, and the various forces arrayed against him simply do not how to attack such an opponent. They keep doing things that should destroy him, but he just acts like it's not a problem ... and it turns out that, hey presto, It's not a problem, because at the end of the day he's still the president, no matter how outraged the press or the public get.
Until and unless the Republicans in the Senate are willing to get on board with an impeachment conviction, the dude doesn't need to give a fuck about public opinion -- the constitution is on his side.
The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.
On 9/11/01 a Boeing 757 (AA77) flew into the Pentagon.
AGCC is happening.
If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
Trump still
reminds me of Clinton, and how the right was in continual hysteria about him. Yet Clinton just kept on truck'n.
Alligator Ed,
this is a keeper, one of the best essays I've read here, and the comments are brilliant. I read as far and wide as I can on this subject, but I haven't read anyone saying what you did:
One key element in this debilitate/eliminate Trump plot was the insertion of multiple stooges and patsies by Stefan Halper... of Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and George Papadopolous into the campaign. They were used to serve as FISA warrant triggers, despite flimsy reasons, so they could hippity hop two jumps, like a king in a checkers game, to surveil somebody with likely no conceivable connection to anything or anybody.
Each of those persons has intelligence connections in their backgrounds, especially Carter Page, an openly identified FBI informant. So I'm hoping the untangling of all of this brings down not only the Democrats and the Republicans but the Deep State.
Also, your statement here says so much:
Exposing these grave crimes against children will leave the Dems absolutely defenseless.
What we need is news media that publish photography and film of what we do to children in war. That would put war out of business.
raw footage, unedited that is .../nt
This is one of Alligator Ed's best essays. It is also great to see him back posting here again.
"I don't want to run the empire, I want to bring it down!" ~ Dr. Cornel West
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." ~ President John F. Kennedy
Not exactly
Those who have identified Trump as a juvenile, disorganized, impulsive, sociopathic ne'er do well have grossly underestimated him. Those who have adopted this view have fallen into a 2500 year old trap identified by Sun Tzu: Let your enemy think you are insane, then strike hard when they unpreparedly come to smash you.
Sun Tzu didn't actually put it that way.
It was more like "Appear weak to your enemy when you are strong."
Trump is guilty of all those things you list.
His genius was recognizing that modern politics was all kayfabe and was exactly like Reality TV.
Don't forget heavyweight wrestling
Trump has taken a lot of his cues from Rowdy Roddy Piper and the like:
Here's Tucker Carlson
last night.
Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News 3/22/19[FULL] - Tucker Carlson Fox News on March 22, 2019
How could they
possibly be more irrational than they already are.
People are so completely and emotionally invested in Trump's demise that I think they really need some psychological/psychiatric help.
So, if the Dems are the Germans...
and the Goopers are the Soviets, does that makes Progressives the Americans?
Biding our time and letting the other two armies exhaust themselves fighting it out before launching D-Day?
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
May your waters always be warm, Ed.

Should America Promote Democracy Abroad?
This is about an hour of good discussion with Elliot Abrams and Nicholas Burns on how best to use American foreign policy as a tool for promoting democracy. They talk at length about the illusive balancing act between US interests (economic, geopolitical, etc) and the ideals of America (democracy, freedom, etc) in the process of conducting US foreign policy. They both agree on the need to balance between what is "just" and what is "practical," but they differ on how and when the US should use its hard/soft power to promote democracy and freedom.

Your dog must always feel it's safe to come to you
Where possible in the early stages of training, the dog's return to you should be made worthwhile, even exciting. Use a pleasant tone and a little fuss to show the dog you're pleased that he's returned.
If the dog doesn't respond to this, the chances are that it's finding being somewhere else more interesting than being with you!
You can resort to the (strictly temporary) use of titbits to encourage the dog back (although we never need to use titbits for training) and whenever possible grade the reward according to the response you get - most fuss (or titbit) when the dog obeys instantly - polite acknowledgement if the response is reluctant.
If you need to shout at your dog after it's done something wrong, think carefully about it. It's best to correct a dog at the precise time of the offence (or preferably just before) rather than later - but sometimes you have no choice.
When training your dog with sheep, don't call the dog back to you and then shout at it, the dog will think you're shouting at it for coming back, then when the dog does whatever you rebuked it for again, you'll repeat the procedure . . . and soon end up with a thoroughly confused dog.
A dog's mind works an awful lot faster than a human's, so we should bear this in mind when training. A good example of this is gripping (biting the sheep or pulling at their wool). If we see our dog grip, we're inclined to shout at it to stop, but it's really already too late! The dog's mind's moved on and he's considering his next move - which may be perfectly good. Scold him too late and the dog may well think it's this next move you disapprove of.

Wild Night Honey Cream Ale -- FloriBrew Guest Post
I was going to save this guest review for when I'm on vacation next week, but whatever, I do what I want! This review was sent to me by Twitter friend Mike, who recently joined my "People I've Met in Real Life" list after meeting him at Funky Buddha a few weeks ago. Like Mike's Twitter handle, he also uses FloriBrew for the name of his blog. Check it out, then sit back and enjoy his beer review.
Wild Night Honey Cream Ale
This is beer is brewed by Swamp Head Brewery in Gainesville, Florida. As the name suggests, it's a cream ale with honey added to it. Swamp Head uses Florida Tupelo Honey from the swamps of Northwest Florida because of its taste and purity.
This beer was very pale yellow in color and had very little head.The aroma had a little sweetness to it with a slight honey scent. Wild Night is a very drinkable brew with a light taste. It's pretty mild and there is a bit of honey sweetness surrounded by a grass-like flavor. This is not a really hoppy beer and the carbonation is in the mild to medium range. While the alcohol level is a tad high at 5.9% it was not noticable at all.
Wild Night is a beer that you can sit and drink all afternoon on a hot day. I could imagine myself drinking this out by the pool on a July afternoon or while cutting the lawn.

Doctor reveals harrowing unseen 9/11 photos from the day of the attacks
A doctor who claims to have been one of the first on the scene as the twin towers collapsed on 9/11 has released a series of unseen photos from the day of the attack.
Dr Emil Chynn, now 50, rushed to the World Trade Center after seeing the Twin Towers burning on September 11 2001 whilst walking his dog.
When Emil, who lives in New York City, arrived at the scene he was surrounded by debris and smoke.
He rapidly got to work setting up what he claims to be the first triage centre on site.
The doctor has now released the photographs he took during the week he volunteered at the scene to demonstrate the kindness of strangers in such a heartbreaking time.
Some 9/11 firefighters may have higher heart risks now
9/11 relived by British woman who worked in South Tower
Facts you probably didn't know about 9/11
Emil said: "The scene was awful, people were trying to clear debris and body parts from all over the place.
"I quickly did what I could to help and - as the first physician on the scene - set up the first triage centre.
"I was on the scene volunteering for about a week and captured these photos whilst I was there.
"They were captured on a film camera, so took me a while to get them developed, but as soon as I got the physical photos back I knew I had to share them.
"As distressing as the time was and the photos are, they show the pure compassion that people have for other strangers.
"Everyone looks back on what happened in dismay at the human race instead of how a city came together to risk their lives and help people they didn't even know."

God knew I needed to slow down this Christmas and just take everything in. Every Christmas story, every Christmas Carol, every special moment. I have been loving it. I have been able to just trust God that He has everything under His control. He has taken care of us and blessed us with his hand.
It has been great to spend so much quality time with Walter too. We have definitely been using this time to grow even closer together. I am so very blessed.
The Scripture for today is 1 John 2:24-25 "As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. This promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life." God trumps us all when it comes to the greatest gift of all time. He gave us eternal life!

Women's Health in the South East (WHISE) welcomes the announcement from the Australian Labor Party that, if elected, they would deliver Australia's first National Sexual and Reproductive Health strategy.
"We believe it's essential that every woman has access to services and supports they need to ensure optimal health, regardless of their personal circumstances," says Ms Kit McMahon, WHISE CEO.
Sexual and reproductive health is a crucial issue to improve outcomes for women. WHISE is in its second year of Good Health Down South: A Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy for the Southern Metropolitan Region.
Built on the evidence of the needs and service gaps for women in the region, the strategy priority areas take action on:
- Reproductive rights and access to termination services,
- Primary prevention to address increases in sexually transmitted infections,
- Advocating for better services for women in our region, and increasing the health literacy of women in our region when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health.
"The ALP announcement is significant. We know that the release of the state strategy for sexual and reproductive health in Victoria was important for women's health – a national strategy would be an incredible opportunity to improve outcomes for women across Australia." says Ms McMahon.
"The partners to our strategy recognise the challenges and complexities in providing consistent access to support services – harmonising access to those services across borders is important, especially abortion. What is also important is ensuring that there is consistent understanding across all parts of the health system, of the rights that women have to making choices about their own health including reproductive choices."
WHISE is working with a number of providers across the southern metropolitan region to promote positive service models. Scaling what is already working on the ground is a valuable way to leveraging success across Australia.
"With our colleagues from other Women's Health Services, we are working to promote great services such as the 1800 My Options line, an independent confidential service for women seeking further information on reproductive choices."
As the leading voice for the health and wellbeing of women in the South East we embrace the opportunity to work with a range of partners, governments and stakeholders on ensuring that all women in our region are safe, healthy and thriving.

2008 Recap/Redux/Rewhatever
In January, my job fucked me, and that was the impetus for my decision to move.
In February, I started to experiment with my wardrobe, and I went to Philadelphia for Molly's bachelorette party.
In March, right before I moved bad shit went down at my old job, and I moved and started working here.
April was Molly's wedding.
In May, I totaled my car, broke my foot, and moved out of my parents' house.
In June, I started up Disgraced Shopping.
In July, I went to BlogHer.
In August? Stella's birthday comes to mind. I also started up my CafePress Shop.
September was my birthday (26 ain't so bad).
October....I broke my computer. But it's better now! So that's something. And I got new glasses! Seeing has worked out really well.
November! We made history! Thank God! Or, more accurately, thank American voters!
And December is still technically happening. Christmas was great, K is making me shoot hate rays out my eyes, Gabriel is poxed yet adorable, and I haven't had sex for almost half a year. What happened to you this year?
5 comments:
Oh, you don't really want to know what happened to me this year.ReplyDelete
...What? You do?
Okay. I wrote about it on my blog. Go check it out.
Wait - he's poxed? Like chicken poxed??? If so, I'll be needing you to rub a cloth or shirt ALL OVER HIM and mail it to me in a tupperware container immediately. I'll pay shipping!!ReplyDelete
I still find it vaguely hilarious what you managed to write about being in Philadelphia. Maybe it's to spare the rest of us the embarrassment of leaving you on the wrong side of town for a traumatizing two hours?ReplyDelete
You know, since I have only been reading your blog for a few months, I found this post great, because I could go back and check out what I'd missed.ReplyDelete
Lots of things happened to me in 2008. Biggest things? Getting married June 21st and then having my bone spur surgery December 5th.
Whoa, May was a big month. Lots going on there. Can't wait to hang out with you again at BlogHer in Chicago! You'll love it here.ReplyDelete

Deep Learning Tutorial - Sparse Autoencoder
This post contains my notes on the Autoencoder section of Stanford's deep learning tutorial / CS294A. It also contains my notes on the sparse autoencoder exercise, which was easily the most challenging piece of Matlab code I've ever written!!!
Autoencoders And Sparsity
Autoencoder - By training a neural network to produce an output that's identical to the input, but having fewer nodes in the hidden layer than in the input, you've built a tool for compressing the data.
Going from the input to the hidden layer is the compression step. You take, e.g., a 100 element vector and compress it to a 50 element vector.
Going from the hidden layer to the output layer is the decompression step. You take the 50 element vector and compute a 100 element vector that's ideally close to the original input.
Sparse activation - Alternatively, you could allow for a large number of hidden units, but require that, for a given input, most of the hidden neurons only produce a very small activation.
For a given hidden node, it's average activation value (over all the training samples) should be a small value close to zero, e.g., 0.5
A term is added to the cost function which increases the cost if the above is not true.
Visualizing A Trained Autoencoder
In this section, we're trying to gain some insight into what the trained autoencoder neurons are looking for. For a given neuron, we want to figure out what input vector will cause the neuron to produce it's largest response.
That's tricky, because really the answer is an input vector whose components are all set to either positive or negative infinity depending on the sign of the corresponding weight.
So we have to put a constraint on the problem. Specifically, we're constraining the magnitude of the input, and stating that the squared magnitude of the input vector should be no larger than 1.
Given this constraint, the input vector which will produce the largest response is one which is pointing in the same direction as the weight vector.
The below examples show the dot product between two vectors. The magnitude of the dot product is largest when the vectors are parallel.
Ok, that's great. But in the real world, the magnitude of the input vector is not constrained. The reality is that a vector with larger magnitude components (corresponding, for example, to a higher contrast image) could produce a stronger response than a vector with lower magnitude components (a lower contrast image), even if the smaller vector is more in alignment with the weight vector.
Given this fact, I don't have a strong answer for why the visualization is still meaningful. I suspect that the "whitening" preprocessing step may have something to do with this, since it may ensure that the inputs tend to all be high contrast.
Sparse Autoencoder Exercise
For the exercise, you'll be implementing a sparse autoencoder. No simple task!
The work essentially boils down to taking the equations provided in the lecture notes and expressing them in Matlab code.
I won't be providing my source code for the exercise since that would ruin the learning process. However, I will offer my notes and interpretations of the functions, and provide some tips on how to convert these into vectorized Matlab expressions (Note that the next exercise in the tutorial is to vectorize your sparse autoencoder cost function, so you may as well do that now).
If you are using Octave, like myself, there are a few tweaks you'll need to make. See my 'notes for Octave users' at the end of the post.
Step 1: Compute Cost
The first step is to compute the current cost given the current values of the weights.
Step 1.1: Feedforward Evaluation
In order to calculate the network's error over the training set, the first step is to actually evaluate the network for every single training example and store the resulting neuron activation values. We'll need these activation values both for calculating the cost and for calculating the gradients later on.
Step 1.2: Mean Squared Error (MSE) Cost
Once you have the network's outputs for all of the training examples, we can use the first part of Equation (8) in the lecture notes to compute the average squared difference between the network's output and the training output (the "Mean Squared Error").
Step 1.3: Regularization Cost
Next, we need to add in the regularization cost term (also a part of Equation (8)).
This term is a complex way of describing a fairly simple step. You just need to square every single weight value in both weight matrices (W1 and W2), and sum all of them up. Finally, multiply the result by lambda over 2.
Note that in the notation used in this course, the bias terms are stored in a separate variable _b. _This means they're not included in the regularization term, which is good, because they should not be.
Step 1.4: Sparsity Cost
Next, we need add in the sparsity constraint.
First we'll need to calculate the average activation value for each hidden neuron.
If a2 is a matrix containing the hidden neuron activations with one row per hidden neuron and one column per training example, then you can just sum along the rows of a2 and divide by m.
The result is pHat, a column vector with one row per hidden neuron.
Once you have pHat, you can calculate the sparsity cost term.
To vectorize this equation:
Use the pHat column vector from the previous step in place of pHat_j
Replicate p into a column vector.
Use element-wise operators. That is, use ".*" for multiplication and "./" for division.
This will give you a column vector containing the sparisty cost for each hidden neuron; take the sum of this vector as the final sparsity cost.
The final cost value is just the sum of the base MSE, the regularization term, and the sparsity term.
Step 2: Computing Gradients
This part is quite the challenge, but remarkably, it boils down to only ten lines of code.
Note: I've described here how to calculate the gradients for the weight matrix W, but not for the bias terms b. The bias term gradients are simpler, so I'm leaving them to you.
I think it helps to look first at where we're headed. The final goal is given by the update rule on page 10 of the lecture notes.
This is the update rule for gradient descent. However, we're not strictly using gradient descent–we're using a fancier optimization routine called "L-BFGS" which just needs the current cost, plus the average gradients given by the following term (which is "W1grad" in the code):
[Equation 2.1]
We need to compute this for both W1grad and W2grad.
The key term here which we have to work hard to calculate is the matrix of weight gradients (the second term in the table).
To understand how the weight gradients are calculated, it's most clear when you look at this equation (from page 8 of the lecture notes) which gives you the gradient value for a single weight value relative to a single training example. This equation needs to be evaluated for every combination of j and i, leading to a matrix with same dimensions as the weight matrix. Then it needs to be evaluated for every training example, and the resulting matrices are summed.
In the lecture notes, step 4 at the top of page 9 shows you how to vectorize this over all of the weights for a single training example:
Finally, step 2 at the bottom of page 9 shows you how to sum these up for every training example.
Instead of looping over the training examples, though, we can express this as a matrix operation:
[Equation 2.2]
So we can see that there are ultimately four matrices that we'll need: a1, a2, delta2, and delta3. Once we have these four, we're ready to calculate the final gradient matrices W1grad and W2grad. We already have a1 and a2 from step 1.1, so we're halfway there, ha!
Delta3 can be calculated with the following. I've taken the equations from the lecture notes and modified them slightly to be matrix operations, so they translate pretty directly into Matlab code; you're welcome :).
Next, the below equations show you how to calculate delta2. Again I've modified the equations into a vectorized form. Here the notation gets a little wacky, and I've even resorted to making up my own symbols! Hopefully the table below will explain the operations clearly, though. Just be careful in looking at whether each operation is a regular matrix product, an element-wise product, etc.
Now that you have delta3 and delta2, you can evaluate [Equation 2.2], then plug the result into [Equation 2.1] to get your final matrices W1grad and W2grad. Whew!
Use the lecture notes to figure out how to calculate b1grad and b2grad. It's not too tricky, since they're also based on the delta2 and delta3 matrices that we've already computed.
Good luck!
Vectorization Exercise
The next segment covers vectorization of your Matlab / Octave code. You may have already done this during the sparse autoencoder exercise, as I did.
In that case, you're just going to apply your sparse autoencoder to a dataset containing hand-written digits (called the MNIST dataset) instead of patches from natural images.
They don't provide a code zip file for this exercise, you just modify your code from the sparse autoencoder exercise.
One important note, I think, is that the gradient checking part runs extremely slow on this MNIST dataset, so you'll probably want to disable that section of the 'train.m' file.
Here is my visualization of the final trained weights. The weights appeared to be mapped to pixel values such that a negative weight value is black, a weight value close to zero is grey, and a positive weight value is white.
Notes For Octave Users
I implemented these exercises in Octave rather than Matlab, and so I had to make a few changes.
In 'display_network.m', replace the line: "h=imagesc(array,'EraseMode','none',[-1 1]);" with "h=imagesc(array, [-1 1]);" The Octave version of 'imagesc' doesn't support this 'EraseMode' parameter.
The 'print' command didn't work for me. Instead, at the end of 'display_network.m', I added the following line: "imwrite((array + 1) ./ 2, "visualization.png");" This will save the visualization to 'visualization.png'.
Octave doesn't support 'Mex' code, so when setting the options for 'minFunc' in train.m, add the following line: "options.useMex = false;"
Perhaps because it's not using the Mex code, minFunc would run out of memory before completing. This was an issue for me with the MNIST dataset (from the Vectorization exercise), but not for the natural images. To work around this, instead of running minFunc for 400 iterations, I ran it for 50 iterations and did this 8 times. After each run, I used the learned weights as the initial weights for the next run (i.e., set 'theta = opttheta').

Australian Legal Procedures and the Protection of Secret Aboriginal Spiritual Beliefs: A Fundamental Conflict
LAW AND RELIGION IN THEORETICAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT, Cane, Evan Robinson, eds., Cambridge University Press, 2008
Posted: 24 Dec 2009
Date Written: October 1, 2008
The essays in this book explore the intersections between law and religion. When Australian law intersects with Aboriginal religion the outcome is a massive collision. This essay explores that collision, a collision between core legal values of the dominant legal system and core religious values of a small minority group, Aboriginal Australians. That collision, or conflict, arises because Aboriginal religions are fundamentally different from mainstream religions. That difference is legally significant. But the dominant legal system has failed to accommodate the difference. In this essay I contend that Australian law has failed to resolve a fundamental conflict between, on the one hand, basic common law values including openness and transparency in public administration, open administration of justice, a legal culture that gives special weight to the protection of private property interests and, on the other hand, Aboriginal religious values, in particular, the secret nature of much Aboriginal religious belief. I further contend that, because Australian law has failed adequately to recognize and to adapt to the secret nature of much Aboriginal religious belief, because common law values particularly principles directed at protection of private property interests prevail, laws enacted for the purpose of protecting Aboriginal religious beliefs have failed to achieve their purpose. The final part of the essay offers suggestions for reform, including mechanisms for protecting the confidentiality of secret spiritual beliefs.

If the shaft is loose or won't turn at all, then the bearings are worn out. You will need to replace the motor. If the blades turn freely, check if the power is reaching fan motor. If the power is getting to the motor and it is not running then the motor is defective and should be replaced.

Friend or foe?
SINCE 1995, global capital flows have tripled to $6.4 trillion—reaching about 14.5 percent of world GDP—after 15 years of staying within a relatively narrow range of 2-6 percent. Should the surge in capital swirling around the globe be cause for joy or alarm? Alarm seemed to dominate in the aftermath of the East Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. But a major reappraisal is now under way of the costs and benefits of these global flows, especially since many developing countries are grappling with the question of whether they should open up more to these flows or resist them, using capital controls.
This issue of F&D explores the two faces of financial globalization, beginning with an IMF study that suggests that "financial globalization appears to be neither a magic bullet to spur growth, as some proponents would claim, nor an unmanageable risk, as others have sought to portray it." A second IMF study asks if it makes sense (and if it is sustainable) to have the industrial countries running current account deficits while emerging markets, who have less capital, export some of that capital. It suggests that this perverse phenomenon of capital flowing uphill could be because developing countries may not have the capacity to efficiently intermediate the capital and to prevent adverse effects on the tradable sector.
A third IMF study, based on material in the April 2007 Global Financial Stability Report, tries to figure out who's supplying all the global capital. It finds that, with the integration of markets and the involvement of a wider array of participants, financial risk taking has also increased. It warns that it's too soon to conclude that the expansion and deepening of the international investor base is, on balance, stabilizing. A fourth article explains why the IMF is stepping up its own efforts to better analyze the role of financial sectors when it regularly does health checks of its 185 member countries. We also touch base with a policymaker, Governor Reddy of India's central bank, who reflects on his country's experience over the past 15 years with gradually and cautiously opening up its capital account. And for a private sector viewpoint, we turned to Mohamed El-Erian, who manages Harvard University's $29 billion endowment fund.
In "Back to Basics," we take on the debate over whether to rely on market exchange rates or purchasing power parity (PPP) rates when comparing GDP across countries. Using market rates, the United States dwarfs all other countries in terms of contributing to global growth; but using PPP rates, as the IMF's World Economic Outlook does, China grabs the top spot by a long shot. Not surprisingly, this debate on market versus PPP rates is increasingly becoming a political one as well. When PPP rates are used, developing countries generally have relatively bigger economies, as captured by the level of GDPs. Many of them are thus pushing the IMF to use PPP rates for determining quotas and voice—which would give these countries a bigger say in the institution.

The Yonkers School District was on high alert Wednesday after Facebook posts surfaced Tuesday night threatening the well being of students and staff after similar "Creepy Clown" incidents in Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and Port Chester.
The concerning national trend made its way to Yonkers on Tuesday after a screenshot was posted of the Casimir Pulaski School on social media with a message from the "Yonkers Clown" saying everyone there was going to die on Wednesday.
The social media accounts have reportedly been deleted.
The source of the post is being investigated, and there was no incident at any Yonkers school on Wednesday. According to police, they did not believe it to be a true threat, though they added security patrols outside of several schools as an added precaution.
This is the latest threat to be posted following a national trend of recent social media posts made by "creepy clown" accounts.

I think it's time to re-gift this little gem. Happy Holidays!
I totally get the Grinch. The poor old guy lives all alone up in his cave with only a mangy dog for company while the residents of Whoville go on about the business of living their selfish little lives and completely ignoring the Grinch. And then, every year, they make it a point to celebrate Christmas as boisterously and obtrusively as possible, thereby forcing their belief system on the Grinch, who probably just wants to be left in peace to gaze at the stars with his own quiet dreams of cheerful solitude.
And then, when he finally couldn't take it anymore, I'm sure the Whos were ready for him. He probably couldn't leave his cave without triggering Whoville's Early Warning Defense System and relegating his whole carefully thought out plan to the crapper. As he was sledding down the hill in his bright red Santa Claus disguise, the Whos were…

Hmmm... If I had known that Day One would be this awesome, I could have decided to drop by as well. Oh.... But anyway, let's move on to Day Two.
It has been months since I last cosplayed. And I remember that I haven't brought my Rei Ayanami costume to Cosplay Mania before. The year 2012 was for Sakura Haruno and 2013 was for Xion. Now for 2014, it's Rei.

I am currently addicted to Pokemon X (trying to breed 6 IV Larvitars hehehe~) and no doubt about it, the cutest Pokemon for me is still Pikachu! And this was the most unforgettable cosplay for me in this event!

More than 17 million chickens have been culled in Iran over the past ten months as part of efforts to control avian flu, head of Iran Veterinary Organization said.
In comments at a press conference on Sunday, Alireza Refiepour said the bird flu would have spread to many parts of the country if the culling operation had not taken place.
According to the official, 15 provinces in Iran witnessed the outbreak of avian flu.
He also noted that arrangements have been made to secure a steady supply of chicken and eggs, saying the Agriculture Ministry even imported eggs to balance the market.
A hike in the price of chicken eggs in Iran over the past month forced the administration to import the product from abroad. Officials blamed bird flu for a shortage of eggs in the market.
Avian flu, a type of influenza caused by viruses adapted to birds, has also broken out in some other countries lately, including in Britain and Turkey.

Why metrology jokes?
Jokes about Metrology are scarce, so I decided to collect them. If you know or invent any, please send it to me.
Some poetry, funny history lessons and more is located at Agilent Technologies Metrology forum. Almost the same set of texts can be found on few other websites.
During time, I see most jokes concerns USA and their inability to switch to metric system. Sorry, USA.

City of Harare launched the Customer Care Centre (CCC) in April 2015 as part of its customer relationship management strategy.
The CCC was set up to improve interaction between council and residents through phone calls, email, social media and live chat. However, it seems council is facing challenges with the centre stemming from malfunctioning software. A reliable source at Town House told Harare News that the call centre software regularly malfunctions thereby disrupting communication.
"The software should be able to handle a variety of communications such as telephone calls, social media, web chat, and emails, but most functions are not operational. Council purchased the software at a cost of $7,000 while other software for the same job ranges between $70,000 and $80,000," said the source who preferred to remain anonymous.
The source added that residents used to call the centre frequently when it was first operational, but explained that they were no longer doing so after experiencing connection problems attributed to the 'cheap' software.
The City's acting corporate communications manager, Michael Chideme, refuted these claims. "The centre is not experiencing challenges per se. This is a new baby on the block so we learn as we go and make improvements. The thing with customer care centres is that you have to improve the software from time to time as the need grows," explained Chideme.
The CCC enables residents to call council with complaints, compliments, to book appointments with senior council officials, as well as to check their bills. Chideme told Harare News that the CCC had functioning telephones, an email system, social media and had recently introduced live chat, "But council will continue to make improvements to the centre as we go."

Cutting Red Tape for Incorporated Associations
A recent change means that many registered charities, that are Incorporated Associations in Victoria, have had their reporting requirements reduced.
Incorporated Associations with a financial year that ends on or after 30 June 2018 need now only to report to the ACNC using the Annual Information Statement. They are now no longer required to pay an annual fee to Consumer Affairs of Victoria.
However, these arrangements do not apply to:
Incorporated Associations that form part of a reporting group and
Charities that have been approved by the ACNC to withhold financial details or financial reports from the ACNC Charity Register.
Benefits provided to Religious Practitioners
The ATO recently issued draft taxation ruling (TR 2018/D2) which explains when certain benefits provided by registered religious institutions to religious practitioners will be exempt from FBT. (Note: This draft ruling is a rewrite of taxation ruling TR 92/17, which was withdrawn on 11 July 2018.)
The updated ruling essentially includes some updates to reflect:
A requirement for the provider of benefits to maintain a registration with the ACNC with a charity subtype of "advancing religion" and
Changes in the nature of contemporary religious practice which have taken place since the previous ruling was originally issued.
The ruling is still in draft form and we will be making a submission to the ATO in relation to it. We will provide a further update on the implications of the ruling once it has been finalised.
31 December Year End – AIS overdue
Charities that operate on a calendar year from 1 January to 31 December 2017 should have completed their 2017 Annual Information Statement (AIS) by 30 June 2018. Please ensure that your AIS is lodged as soon as possible if it has not been done.
ASIC Supervisory Recovery Levy exemption
Charities have secured an exemption from paying the new ASIC supervisory recovery levy that is payable by all companies regulated under the Corporations Act 2001. This exemption applies to all ACNC registered charities. This means that Companies Limited by Guarantee that are registered charities are not required to pay an annual ASIC fee of $321.

I'm pooped. Tas and I just got back from an 18 day trip where we ate our way through Italy and Spain. I can't even speak the word "ham" in fear of getting heartburn. Never though I would miss chicken so much.
Grilled Chicken Kebab Bowls
with Cucumber Salad and Tzatziki
makes 4 servings
[one_half padding="0 20px 0 0″]
For the chicken:
1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 2″ pieces
1 1/2 Tb olive oil
3 Tb lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
For the rice:
2 cups basmati rice, rinsed
2 3/4 cups water
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 Tb grapeseed oil, or other neutral oil
3 Tb consumme powder or 1 bouillon cube
1/4 tsp salt
For the tzatziki:
1 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup grated cucumber
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced finely
1/4 tsp salt
For the cucumber salad:
1 english cucumber, peeled
1/4 cup sliced red onion
1 1/2 tsp chopped dill
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
[/one_half][one_half_last padding="0 0px 0 20px"]
For marinating the chicken:
1. In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except chicken.
2. Add the chicken, make sure that it is completely covered with the marinade.
3. Place it in the fridge and marinate for a minimum of 1 hour. This can also sit over night.
For the rice:
1. Heat the oil in a pot with fitted lid over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onions and sweat until they are translucent. About 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat the rice with the oil and onions.
4. Add the water and turn the heat up to high.
5. Add the consumme powder and salt. Mix.
6. When it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Turn the heat off and let the rice steam for an additional 10 minutes. Don't you dare touch that lid.
For the tzatziki:
1. Place the grated cucumber in a mesh strainer over a small bowl.
2. Sprinkle with the salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
3. Push as much of the water out of it as possible.
4. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic together in a bowl.
5. Add the drained cucumber and mix. Place in the fridge until you're ready to eat.
For the cucumber salad:
1. Place the sliced red onions in a bowl filled with ice water. This will take away some of the sharpness of the onion. It's optional.
2. Cut the peeled cucumber in half, lengthwise.
3. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeded middle of the cucumber and discard.
4. Cut the cucumber into 1/4″ slices.
5. Mix together the sliced red onions (drain them first, obvi), cucumber slices, dill, lemon, olive oil, and salt.
Grilling the chicken:
1. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.
2. Make sure you have soaked your skewers for at least 30 minutes if you are using wooden ones.
3. Skewer the marinated chicken cubes making sure they aren't too crowded on the stick.
4. Oil the grill so the chicken doesn't stick.
5. Grill the kebabs for 5-6 minutes on one side, flip and grill the other side for 5-6 minutes as well.
Construct your bowls:
Place a nice heap of rice on the bottom of each bowl. Top with cucumber salad, tzatziki, and chicken kebabs. Enjoy! This can also be eaten cold… straight from the fridge… alone… while watching Sean Brock on Mind of a Chef. Life is perfect.

Estelle Taylor was recommended during a recent road trip to Romania. The local makeup artist we hired was a friend of hers and thought that Estelle had the right body and boobs for SCORE. A few test shots were sent back to Miami and that was all it took for Estelle to come over for the day. Estelle reminded your editors of Katarina Dubrova (a Czech model who joined us in Hungary in 2008), Westy and a few other slim and busty eastern Europeans we have known over the years. Estelle studied ballet when she was younger and has the lithe figure of a dancer. Then her breasts kept growing and that's something that ballet dancers don't have. Our preference is to see nude dancing, not ballet, so that's what beautiful Estelle does in this video that matches her photo set. And she's got some oil to shine up her 32DD's too. Bravo. Excellent interpretative dancing! Romania's got talent and we look forward to going back.

Successful Past Verdicts for Trip/Slip and Fall in New York
Unsafe Building Premises – Trip and Fall-Settlement $400,000.00
Our client tripped and fell due to a broken edge of a step leading from a building to the public sidewalk. She fractured her ankle and the fracture had to be reduced with surgery and the insertion of hardware. Our client is left with a permanent impairment of her ability to walk and get about. The defendants contended that the break of the step edge was minimal and that our client should have known about the condition since she had been living in the building. Levine & Slavit countered these defenses by retaining an engineer to testify as an expert and to explain why the condition constituted a tripping hazard. The settlement consisted of part cash and part a structured payout.
Trip and Fall on Metal Plate on Roadway – $350,000.00 Settlement
Our client was crossing 42nd Street in Manhattan near the Port Authority Bus Terminal when he tripped and fell on a metal plate in the crosswalk that was raised above the level of the adjacent roadway. As a result of the fall, he suffered a fractured hip requiring surgery. Fortunately our office was contacted right away so we were able to get photographs of the metal plate before they were picked-up by the defendant.
Trip and Fall on Sidewalk in Front of Construction Site – Fractured Hip – Settlement $245,000.00
Our client tripped and fell on a sidewalk in front of a construction site due to a hole on the sidewalk, fracturing her hip requiring surgery for open reduction and internal fixation with hardware. The construction project included the demolition of a building and the erection of a new building at the site. Suit proceeded against the adjacent landowner, the general contractor for the construction project, and the subcontractor for the demolition portion of the project. We went to the scene of accident shortly after it occurred and took photographs of the hole before it was fixed. These photographs were exchanged with the defendants' attorneys. Thereafter, we took a deposition of the property owner which confirmed that the general contractor was aware of the hole before the accident.
Additionally, during the course of discovery, we obtained the names of the architects who were involved with the project and served subpoenas upon them for their records. Amongst the information received in response to our subpoenas were photographs taken of the demolition showing the subcontractor's bulldozer crossing from the building to the street over the sidewalk apparently creating the hole that our client tripped in.
Expert: Orthopedic Surgeon
Trip and Fall – Flea Market – Fractured Femur – $275,000.00 Settlement
As is often the case, our office's immediate investigation of the location of accident and photographs of the area were crucial to the successful outcome of this case. Our client regularly worked at a flea market held on Sundays in an indoor parking garage. On the day of accident, our client tripped and fell due to a hole in the cement floor of the garage. As a result of the fall our client sustained a fractured femur. Our client admitted that she had seen the hole on days prior to her accident and knew it was there. The defendants argued that the hole was too trivial to form the basis of a lawsuit, but the photographs we took showed otherwise. We were able to defeat the attempt to have the case dismissed, after which we were able to successfully resolve the case.
Trip and Fall – Raised Door Saddle – Neck Fracture – $225,000.00 Settlement
Our client tripped and fell in an office building on Long Island over a raised saddle. The injuries she sustained included a displaced fracture in her neck. The position of the fracture fragment left her at risk for spinal cord injury, but surgery was not an option because she was 80 years of age. The defendant moved for summary judgment arguing that the saddle was raised so slightly that the case should be dismissed for being a trivial defect. Fortunately, immediately after being retained our office hired a professional engineer who inspected and measured the location and concluded that the defect was not trivial and violated the New York State Building Code. In addition, at the depositions we took of the security guard on duty at the time of the accident and of the building manager, we were able to obtain an admission that prior to our client's accident other people had tripped on the saddle and that the building management had considered the condition to be dangerous.
Expert: Professional Engineer.
Premises Liability – Defective Stairs – EMS Worker Requiring Shoulder and Ankle Surgeries – Mediated Settlement $195,000.00
Our client was injured when he tripped and fell down a marble staircase in the defendant's building that had a broken and missing chunk from the edge of a step. Our client was an ambulance worker who was responding to a call that a person in the building was acting in a threatening way and needed medical attention. Police officers accompanied our client and his partner to the building. Our client tripped and fell as he was escorting the person down the steps.
The defendant's insurance company and lawyer attempted to prove that our client was injured not because of the broken step, but because the person he was trying to help pushed him down the stairs. The defendant also contended that the condition of the step being complained of was not of sufficient size to be actionable under the law. Our office countered these arguments citing case law holding that the defendant's proof alleging that our client was pushed was hearsay, and holding that because the condition was located at the edge of the step, its size was sufficient for our client to recover damages for his injuries. We also successfully countered the defendant's contention that MRI studies made of our client's shoulder and ankle did not show the extent of damage that our client's surgeon found.
It is significant to note that when we were first contacted by our client, he stated that he was looking for a workers' compensation lawyer. By listening to our client's version about how his accident occurred, we realized that not only did he have a valid workers' compensation claim, for which we referred him to a law firm concentrating in that field of law, but in addition to that claim he had a valid lawsuit against the building owner.
