But while signposts identify the stretch as “Historic Mississippi,” you will have to scratch to find that history.

Settled mostly by Scandinavians and Germans in the late 1800s, the district — and the Boise-Eliot neighborhood to which it belongs — became heavily African-American by World War II. In 1919, the Portland Realty Board forbade its members to sell property to blacks and Asians, except in a few places. And though that policy was formally rescinded in 1952, banks continued to redline those areas, hampering development and depriving property owners of loans for improvement. In the 1950s through the ’70s, highway construction and urban renewal displaced many residents of northeast Portland, reconfiguring its neighborhoods and contributing to their decline.

Kay L. Newell, who moved her light bulb store, Sunlan Lighting, to the corner of Failing and Mississippi in 1991, recalled that 43 businesses, including a metal shop and a headstone carver, operated on Mississippi at the time. But they did it behind barred doors and shuttered windows, she said, as a protection against theft and gang violence. Today, Ms. Newell, who wore a black beret over long graying braids, works behind big plate-glass windows filled with vintage bulbs and geegaws. She dates the beginning of the turnaround to 1995, when the city of Portland began a program for improvement with input from the community.

“We’ve gone from the worst neighborhood in the city to one of the hottest and coolest,” she said.

Not everyone agrees. Angel Barrera, who has lived in the area for 30 years, interrupted a walk with his dog to complain about density. We were standing near a pair of small houses between North Shaver Street and North Mason Street that he said would soon be demolished to make way for new apartments. As in many revitalized neighborhoods, this one is being planted with expensive condos and rental buildings.

The displacement of longtime residents is a concern, and so is parking. Mr. Barrera, who sported a tattoo on the side of his neck that read “Trust No Man” in Chinese, said he has to drive blocks to find a space. He also fretted about rising property taxes.

text: Armenia And Azerbaijan Ceasefire agreement Is it Joke? This cease-fire agreement is like signing a joke, but it’s actually playing a house. Previously, two or three ceasefire agreements were signed, and within a few minutes, they opened fire, firing at each other, and then they were responsible for each other’s violation of the ceasefire agreement.. So, will the ceasefire agreement signed now be effective? The Prime Minister of Azerbaijan laughed in the live broadcast, but it is not easy to speculate about what the laugh means.. However, this time with Russia’s strong entry, the Russian peacekeeping forces will go to the conflicted Naka area. If one party still works and hurts the Russian side, it is estimated that Russia will take care of it… Then, Armenia and Azerbaijan will not Will new conflicts break out in other regions? We don’t know.. Peace is really hard-won, we must cherish it, but it is irritating that there are always some people destroying the peace…

text: The dependence of topological Anderson insulator on the type of disorder [PDF]Juntao Song, Haiwen Liu, Hua Jiang, Qing-feng Sun, X. C. Xie. This paper details the investigation of the influence of different disorders in two-dimensional topological insulator systems. Unlike the phase transitions to topological Anderson insulator induced by normal Anderson disorder, a different physical picture arises when bond disorder is considered. Using Born approximation theory, an explanation is given as to why bond disorder plays a different role in phase transition than does Anderson disorder. By comparing phase diagrams, conductance, conductance fluctuations, and the localization length for systems with different types of disorder, a consistent conclusion is obtained. The results indicate that a topological Anderson insulator is dependent on the type of disorder. These results are important for the doping processes used in preparation of topological insulators.View original:

Lesson: Understanding the Dependence of Topological Insulators on Disorder

Introduction:
Topological insulators are a unique class of materials that exhibit insulating behavior in their bulk but have conducting states on their surface or edges. These materials have attracted significant attention due to their potential applications in quantum computing and spintronics. However, the presence of disorder in these materials can lead to phase transitions and affect their topological properties. In this lesson, we will explore the dependence of topological insulators on different types of disorder, such as bond and normal Anderson disorder, and understand the physical mechanisms behind these effects.

Section 1: Introduction to Topological Insulators
- Topological insulators are materials that have insulating bulk states but conductive surface or edge states.
- These materials are characterized by a non-trivial topological invariant, which makes them robust against local perturbations and impurities.
- Topological insulators have potential applications in quantum computing and spintronics due to their unique properties.

Section 2: Types of Disorder and Phase Transitions
- There are two types of disorder that can affect topological insulators: bond disorder and normal Anderson disorder.
- Bond disorder refers to the variation in the strength of chemical bonds between atoms, while normal Anderson disorder refers to the random distribution of impurities or defects in the material.
- The presence of disorder can lead to phase transitions in topological insulators, where they can transition from a trivial insulator to a topological insulator or vice versa.

Section 3: Investigating the Dependence of Topological Insulators on Disorder
- Researchers have investigated the dependence of topological insulators on different types of disorder using various theoretical and experimental techniques.
- One approach is to use Born approximation theory to study the effect of bond disorder on the phase transition between a topological insulator and a trivial insulator.
- Another approach is to compare phase diagrams, conductance, conductance fluctuations, and the localization length for systems with different types of disorder to understand the physical mechanisms behind the effects of disorder on topological insulators.

Section 4: Conclusion
- The results of these studies show that the dependence of topological insulators on disorder is not universal and depends on the type of disorder present.
- Bond disorder plays a different role in phase transition compared to normal Anderson disorder, leading to different physical pictures for the phase transition process.
- Understanding the dependence of topological insulators on disorder is important for controlling their properties through doping processes.

Glossary:
- Topological insulator: A material that has insulating bulk states but conductive surface or edge states.
- Topological invariant: A quantity that characterizes the topological properties of a material and makes it robust against local perturbations.
- Bond disorder: Variation in the strength of chemical bonds between atoms in a material.
- Normal Anderson disorder: Random distribution of impurities or defects in a material.
- Born approximation theory: A theoretical approach used to study the effect of disorder on the electronic properties of materials.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have explored the dependence of topological insulators on different types of disorder and the physical mechanisms behind these effects.

InVite

InVite

Personal Project / Mobile App UIUX Design / 2016

QUICK OVERVIEW

Problem Needed a service that could help organize not only large official events but also small and casual gatherings. Also needed a better way to storage photos and videos rather than dumping them into a folder that is never opened again. Challenge If the service was going to be for casual gatherings as well, it needed to be quick in receiving responses. Once photos and videos started piling up, it was difficult to organize them. Solution Created a service based on a mobile platform which is easier for the guests to RSVP quick. Created a system where the photos and videos will be naturally organized and labeled when using the Event Invite service.

What was the purpose of this project?

After using only an iPhone for 7 years, I have become more and more curious about Android devices. I realized my lack of experience and knowledge about Android systems and felt the desire to study it. With great interest in Material Design, I told myself what better way would there be to study it than designing my own app using the principles?

What is InVite?

InVite is a smartphone application that connects people by helping coordinate small and large events together.

A user creates events and invites others, while also being able to manage it before and after the event. It is a mobile based service, which allows the communication to be easy with quick responses. This means it is useful for not only big official events but also for anything as casual as "Pizza and beer on Friday night."

The mobile app can accumulate images and videos from other users who attended the event and create well organized galleries. Naturally, this gallery would be shared with anyone who was a part of the specific event. This could later develop into a storage service, where images and videos are automatically organized by event, time, attendants and etc. Hopefully this could solve a problem many users have with current storage services, where hundreds of images and videos are dumped into a folder and never opened again.

source: minipile

textbook:
in learning about Android development, I decided to create a personal project that would allow me to explore the Android platform while also addressing a need that I had personally experienced.

What was the problem you aimed to solve with this project?

The problem I aimed to solve with this project was the difficulty of organizing photos and videos from events. I wanted to create a service that would make it easy for people to store their photos and videos in a way that made sense, rather than just dumping them into a folder that was never looked at again. Additionally, I wanted to create a service that could help organize both large official events and small, casual gatherings.

What was the solution you came up with?

The solution I came up with was a mobile app that was designed to make it easy for people to RSVP quickly to events. The app was built on the Android platform, making it easy for guests to respond quickly to invitations. The app also included a system for naturally organizing and labeling photos and videos, making it easy for users to find and access their memories.

What were some of the challenges you faced during this project?

One of the biggest challenges I faced during this project was the need for the app to be quick and efficient. Since the app was designed to help people organize events, it needed to be easy for guests to respond quickly to invitations. Another challenge was creating a system for naturally organizing and labeling photos and videos. This required careful consideration of user needs and preferences, as well as a thoughtful approach to design and functionality.

What did you learn from this project?

Through this project, I learned a lot about Android development and design. I also gained a deeper understanding of the needs and preferences of users when it comes to event planning and photo organization. Additionally, I learned how to think critically and creatively about solutions to problems, and how to effectively communicate those solutions to others.

What are some potential applications of this project?

There are many potential applications for this project, including event planning and organization, photo and video storage and organization, and social networking. The app could be used to help people plan and organize all kinds of events, from weddings and birthday parties to corporate meetings and conferences. It could also be used to help people easily store and access their photos and videos, making it easy to relive memories and share them with others. Finally, the app could be used to facilitate social networking and communication, helping people connect and share experiences with others.

There are no constraints of the spatial weights employed in conventional canonical correlation analysis (CCA) leading to model overfitting and a decrease of specificity. We propose two different constrained CCA (cCCA) methods to improve the detection power of fMRI data analysis and compare results with the GLM method without and with fixed Gaussian spatial smoothing. Quantitative results from pseudo-real data as well as qualitative results from real data show that both novel cCCA methods can detect activations more accurately for noisy fMRI data without losing specificity.

Lesson Title: Constrained Canonical Correlation Analysis for fMRI Data Analysis

Introduction:
Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) is a multivariate statistical technique used to find linear combinations of two sets of variables that have the highest possible correlation. It has been widely used in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data analysis to identify brain regions that respond to specific stimuli. However, the conventional CCA does not have any constraints on the spatial weights, which may lead to model overfitting and a decrease in specificity. In this lesson, we will learn about constrained canonical correlation analysis (cCCA) and its application in fMRI data analysis.

Core Value:
The core value of this research is the development of two different constrained CCA methods to improve the detection power of fMRI data analysis. These methods aim to address the limitations of conventional CCA by introducing constraints on the spatial weights, which helps to avoid model overfitting and maintain specificity.

text: Like many other mammals, mice reproduce by mating with one another by using their sexual reproductive organs. Mice are polygamous, which means that male mice often mate with several different females. Breeding between mice occurs all throughout the year and commonly results in female mice giving birth to around five or six young per litter.Continue Reading. After being pregnant for 19 to 21 days, females give birth to tiny young that are helpless, blind, without fur and weigh only 1 gram. Baby mice grow fur after 10 ten days, and they are finally able to open their eyes after a period of about 2 weeks. After 3 weeks, young mice are mature enough to leave their mother's nest and explore new territory.Learn more about Rodents

Lesson: Reproduction in Mammals

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the process of reproduction in mammals. We will cover the basics of mammalian reproduction, including the roles of male and female mammals, the different types of mating behaviors, and the stages of development for baby mammals.

Section 1: Basic Concepts

**Topic 1: Male and Female Roles in Mammalian Reproduction**
- Male mammals are called males, and they produce sperm cells that fertilize the eggs produced by female mammals.
- Female mammals are called females, and they produce eggs that are fertilized by male sperm cells.
- Males also produce a substance called semen, which contains sperm cells and other fluids that help to transport the sperm cells into the female's body.

**Topic 2: Types of Mating Behaviors**
- There are two types of mating behaviors in mammals: monogamy and polygamy.
- Monogamous mammals mate with only one partner throughout their lives.
- Polygamous mammals mate with multiple partners during their lives.

**Topic 3: Stages of Development for Baby Mammals**
- After mating, female mammals become pregnant. During this time, the fertilized egg begins to develop into an embryo.
- After about 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, the baby mammal starts to develop fur, and its eyes open after about 2 more weeks.
- After 3-4 weeks, the baby mammal is born and is ready to explore its surroundings.

Section 2: Practical Examples

**Example 1: Human Reproduction**
- Humans are mammals, and human reproduction follows the same basic principles as other mammals.
- Male humans produce sperm cells that fertilize female eggs.
- The fertilized egg develops into an embryo, which eventually becomes a baby.

**Example 2: Mouse Reproduction**
- Mice are a type of rodent, which is a group of mammals that includes rats, mice, and other small animals.
- Male mice mate with several different females, making them polygamous.
- After 3 weeks, young mice are mature enough to leave their mother's nest and explore new territory.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

**Discussion Topic 1: Is it better to be monogamous or polygamous?**
- Monogamous mammals typically have stronger pair bonds with their mates, which can lead to more stable relationships.
- Polygamous mammals may have more opportunities to reproduce, but they also may face competition from other males.

**Discussion Topic 2: How do different mammals adapt to their environments?**
- Different mammals have adapted to their environments in many ways, including changes in body size, coloration, and behavior.
- For example, some mammals living in cold environments have thick fur coats to keep them warm, while others living in hot environments have thin fur coats to help them stay cool.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the process of reproduction in mammals, including the roles of male and female mammals, the different types of mating behaviors, and the stages of development for baby mammals. We also explored practical examples of human and mouse reproduction and engaged in self-debating discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of being monogamous or polygamous and how different mammals adapt to their environments. By understanding these concepts, we can apply our knowledge to new problems and continue to learn more about the fascinating world of mammals.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an apparatus for cutting a continuous slide fastener chain into individual fastener product lengths.
In the manufacture of slide fasteners, it is the customary practice to make a continuous chain of a pair of so-called "stringers" each comprising of a support tape carrying along a beaded edge thereof a row of coupling fastener elements, to provide element-free gaps at predetermined intervals in and along the beaded edges of the tape, and to cut the fastener chain into individual fastener lengths at the gaps, thereby providing tape ends which are devoid of coupling elements for attachment thereon of fastener parts such as sliders and end stops to complete the formation of commercial product fasteners.
2. Prior Art
In the art of cutting a slide fastener chain into individual product lengths to which the present invention relates, to this end there have been proposed various machines, a typical example of which is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,754,908. This patent shows a machine comprising a vertically movable cutter and an anvil cooperating therewith to cut the fastener chain as desired, a pair of feed rolls disposed forwardly of the cutter and a pair of delivery rolls disposed rearwardly of the cutter. One of the feed rolls is a driven roll and the other is a follower roll normally resting on the driven roll; the driven and follower rolls coact to feed the fastener chain. Likewise, one of the delivery rolls is a driven roll and the other is a follower roll normally resting on the driven roll; the driven and follower rolls coact to deliver the cut length of the fastener chain. While this prior art machine is satisfactory in respect of delivering the cut length of chain out of the machine, there is encountered a problem in the feeding of an un-cut chain end from the feed-roll side to the delivery-roll side where the tape end is curled or rolled, which is usually the case with fastener chains taken up and stored on a reel. The reeled fastener chain tends to maintain its curled posture even after it is unreeled; the chain with the curled end raised advances and it is hence difficult for it to enter into and through the pair of delivery rolls forwardly of the cutter and it is therefore prone to move away, off the guideway of the machine.

Lesson: How to Take Great Photos and Videos for Social Media
Introduction:
Photography and videography are essential tools in today's digital age. With social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, people share their lives with others through photos and videos. However, not everyone knows how to take great photos and videos that will capture the attention of their followers. In this lesson, we will learn the basics of photography and videography for social media.
Section 1: Photography
Topic 1: Understanding Exposure
Exposure is the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor. It is measured in EV (exposure value). To get the right exposure, you need to balance the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
The aperture is the opening in the lens that allows light to enter. The larger the aperture, the more light enters the camera. The shutter speed is the length of time the camera's shutter is open. A slower shutter speed lets in more light, while a faster shutter speed freezes motion. The ISO is the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. A higher ISO means the sensor is more sensitive to light, but it can also result in more noise or graininess in the photo.
To get the right exposure, you need to balance these three factors. You can use the exposure compensation feature on your camera to adjust the exposure manually.
Topic 2: Composition
Composition is the arrangement of elements in a photo. Good composition can make a photo more interesting and visually appealing. Here are some composition tips:
- Rule of thirds: Divide the frame into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines. Place the subject where the lines intersect.
- Leading lines: Use lines in the photo to lead the viewer's eye to the subject.
- Framing: Use natural frames like trees, doors, or windows to frame the subject.
- Symmetry: Use symmetry to create a balanced and visually pleasing photo.
Topic 3: Lighting
Lighting is crucial for taking great photos. Good lighting can make a photo pop, while bad lighting can ruin an otherwise great photo. Here are some lighting tips:
- Natural light: Use natural light from a window or outdoors to light your subject.
- Artificial light: Use artificial light sources like lamps or flashlights to light your subject.
- Directional lighting: Position the light source so that it lights up your subject from one direction. This creates shadows and depth in the photo.
- Soft lighting: Use softboxes or diffusers to soften the light and create a more flattering light on your subject.
Section 2: Videography
Topic 1: Camera Settings
To take great videos for social media, you need to set up your camera correctly. Here are some camera settings tips:
- Frame rate: Shoot in 30fps or 60fps for smooth motion.
- Resolution: Shoot in 1080p or 4K for high-quality videos.
- Stabilization: Use optical image stabilization (OIS) or electronic image stabilization (EIS) to reduce camera shake.
- Audio: Use an external microphone or the built-in microphone on your camera to record good-quality audio.
Topic 2: Composition
Composition is just as important in videography as it is in photography. Here are some composition tips for video:
- Rule of thirds: Use the rule of thirds to frame your subjects.
- Movement: Use movement to create interest and keep viewers engaged.
- Framing: Use framing to create a sense of depth and space in your video.
- Transitions: Use transitions like cuts, fades, or dissolves to move from one shot to another.
Topic 3: Lighting
Lighting is crucial for taking great videos. Here are some lighting tips:
- Natural light: Use natural light from windows or outdoors to light your subject.
- Artificial light: Use artificial light sources like lamps or LED lights to light your subject.
- Soft lighting: Use softboxes or diffusers to soften the light and create a more flattering light on your subject.
- Backlight: Use backlight to separate your subject from the background and create depth.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, photography and videography are essential tools for social media. By understanding exposure, composition, and lighting, you can take great photos and videos that will capture the attention of your followers. By following the tips in this lesson, you can improve your photography and videography skills and create visually appealing content for social media.

Lesson: Introduction to Pickleball

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Pickleball is a sport that combines elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton. It is played on a court similar to a tennis court, but smaller. The net is also lower than a tennis net. The ball used in pickleball is similar to a whiffle ball, which is smaller and softer than a tennis ball. The paddle used in pickleball is similar to a tennis racket, but smaller and with a larger head.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
To understand pickleball better, let's look at an example game. Player A serves the ball into the opponent's half of the court. Player B returns the serve, and Player A hits the ball back. This back-and-forth continues until one player fails to return the ball, at which point the other player wins the point. The goal of the game is to score points by getting the opponent to fail to return the ball.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's take a look at some real-world scenarios where pickleball can be played. Imagine you are at a park with your family. You see a group of people playing a game that looks like tennis, but they are using paddles and the ball is bouncing low over the net. That's pickleball! You could join in the game if you like.

## Glossary
- Pickleball: A sport that combines elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton.
- Court: A rectangular area marked off for a game or sport.
- Net: A mesh-like barrier used in sports like tennis and volleyball to catch or contain the ball.
- Ball: A small, lightweight object used in sports like basketball, soccer, and pickleball.
- Paddle: A flat, usually rounded implement used to hit a ball or other object in sports like tennis and pickleball.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the sport of pickleball. We learned that it combines elements of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton, and is played on a smaller court with a lower net. We also learned about the equipment used in the game and some real-world scenarios where pickleball can be played. By understanding these concepts, we can apply our knowledge to new problems and situations.

Lesson: Introduction to Sparkling Wines

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Sparkling wines are wines with carbon dioxide gas bubbles trapped within them, making them fizzy and effervescent. They are usually produced by the fermentation of grapes, but other fruits and even non-fruit bases can also be used. The process of producing sparkling wines involves two fermentations: the first one to create the base wine and the second one to introduce carbon dioxide gas into the wine.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
One example of a sparkling wine is Champagne, which is produced in the Champagne region of France. Other regions known for their sparkling wines include Cava (Spain), Prosecco (Italy), and Cremant (France). The second fermentation can occur in the bottle (traditional method) or in large tanks (charmat method). The traditional method is more expensive because it requires the bottles to be stored for longer periods until the desired level of carbonation is achieved.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Sparkling wines are often served as an aperitif before dinner or as a celebratory drink during special occasions. They can also be paired with various types of food, such as seafood, poultry, and light pasta dishes. In general, dry sparkling wines go well with salty or spicy foods while sweet sparkling wines pair better with desserts.

## Glossary
- Carbonation: The process of adding carbon dioxide gas to a liquid.
- Fermentation: The process by which sugars are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas by yeast.
- Aperitif: A drink served before a meal to stimulate the appetite.
- Celebratory: Relating to or associated with a special occasion or event.
- Pairing: Matching a food and a drink to complement each other's flavors.

## Conclusion
Sparkling wines are a fun and versatile beverage that can be enjoyed on various occasions. By understanding the production process and learning how to pair them with different types of food, you can enhance your overall experience when consuming sparkling wines.

Conversation between Swami Vivekananda and a Go Rakshak

Conversation between Swami Vivekananda and a Go Rakshak

An enthusiastic preacher belonging to the society for the protection of cows came for an interview with Swamiji. He was dressed almost like a Sannyasin, if not fully so — with a Geruâ turban on the head; he was evidently an up-country Indian. At the announcement of this preacher of cow-protection Swamiji came out to the parlour room. The preacher saluted Swamiji and presented him with a picture of the mother-cow. Swamiji took that in his hand and, making it over to one standing by, commenced the following conversation with the preacher:

Swamiji: What is the object of your society?

Preacher: We protect the mother-cows of our country from the hands of the butcher. Cow-infirmaries have been founded in some places where the diseased, decrepit mother-cows or those bought from the butchers are provided for.

Swamiji: That is very good indeed. What is the source of your income?

Preacher: The work of the society is carried on only by gifts kindly made by great men like you.

Swamiji: What amount of money have you now laid by?

Preacher: The Marwari traders’ community are the special supporters of this work. They have given a big amount for this good cause.

Swamiji: A terrible famine has now broken out in Central India. The Indian Government has published a death-roll of nine lakhs of starved people. Has your society done anything to render help in this time of famine?

Preacher: We do not help during famine or other distresses. This society has been established only for the protection of mother-cows.

Swamiji: During a famine when lakhs of people, your own brothers and sisters, have fallen into the jaws of death, you have not thought it your duty, though having the means, to help them in that terrible calamity with food!

Preacher: No. This famine broke out as a result of men’s Karma, their sins. It is a case of “like Karma, like fruit”.

The preacher was a little abashed and said: “Yes, what you say is true, but the Shâstras say that the cow is our mother.”

Swamiji smilingly said, “Yes, that the cow is our mother, I understand: who else could give birth to such accomplished children?”

The up-country preacher did not speak further on the subject; perhaps he could not understand the point of Swamiji’s poignant ridicule. He told Swamiji that he was begging something of him for the objects of the society.

Swamiji: I am a Sannyasin, a fakir. Where shall I find money enough to help you? But if ever I get money in my possession, I shall first spend that in the service of man. Man is first to be saved; he must be given food, education, and spirituality. If any money is left after doing all these, then only something would be given to your society.

At these words, the preacher went away after saluting Swamiji. Then Swamiji began to speak to us: “What words, these, forsooth! Says he that men are dying by reason of their Karma, so what avails doing any kindness to them! This is decisive proof that the country has gone to rack and ruin! Do you see how much abused the Karma theory of your Hinduism has been? Those who are men and yet have no feeling in the heart for man, well, are such to be counted as men at all?” While speaking these words, Swamiji’s whole body seemed to shiver in anguish and grief.
