# Dachshund (gene)

dachshund (dac) is a gene involved in the development of the arthropod compound eye which also plays a role in leg development. It is activated by the Distal-less (Dll) gene.
Dachshund homologue (DACH1) regulates tumorigenesis in humans as a part of the Retinal Determination Gene Network (RDGN) complex, with cancer patients showing altered DACH1 expression. Its homologs form the SKI/SNO/DAC family (Pfam PF02437).

# Dale Levitski

Dale Levitski is an American chef and television personality. He is a former Top Chef television series alum.

## Career
### Television

Dale Levitski competed on Top Chef season 3. After having been one of the runners-up to Hung Huynh (along with Casey Thompson), Levitski was invited to compete again on Top Chef season 8 among the All-Stars. He was eliminated in the third episode.

### Chicago

After leaving the TV show, it took Levitski 18 months to get going on his next project. He rebounded to open Sprout in 2009, garnering praise, three stars from the Chicago Tribune, and a semifinalist nod from the James Beard Foundation for Best Chef: Midwest, something that might be considered a coup considering the glut of competition in the brutally tough Chicago-centric category." A year after Sprout opened, the restaurant received a three star rating from the Chicago Tribune and also was named by Chicago Magazine as a Best Restaurant. Levitski also opened a bistro called Frog n' Snail. Levitski started to have failing health due to the stress of the two restaurants. He decided to leave Chicago, and the two restaurants closed after his departure.

### Nashville

In 2014 Levitski moved from Chicago to Nashville, Tennessee, and opened a new restaurant called Sinema in the old Melrose Theater. He left the project in 2016.
# The Awakening (soundtrack)

The Awakening (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2011 film of the same name directed by Nick Murphy. The original score is composed by Daniel Pemberton in his maiden feature film. Recorded at the Abbey Road Studios with the Chamber Orchestra Of London and Crouch End Festival Chorus, performing the orchestra and choir, the album was released on 15 November 2011 by Screamworks Records through MovieScore Media, and received generally positive reviews.

## Background

Pemberton recorded his score at the Abbey Road Studios with a large ensemble orchestra and choir, even with limited resources. However, he recorded some of the music through swanee whistle in his flat and tuned it in his computer. Using time-stretching softwares, he stretched the sounds of the swanee whistle to create a "foggy" texture and make certain sounds even more creepier. In his blog written for The Guardian, he cited The Third Man (1949), Halloween (1978) Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and Inception (2010) as inspirations to his score as it was "simplistic and more effective".

## Reception

James Southall of Movie Wave called it as "really solid stuff, worthy of a lot of attention". Matt Goldberg of Collider complimented Pemberton's score as "beautifully melancholy".
Ridley Scott recruited Pemberton to provide music for The Counselor (2013) after he listened to the score for The Awakening and appreciated his work.

# Hard sigmoid

In artificial intelligence, especially computer vision and artificial neural networks, a hard sigmoid is non-smooth function used in place of a sigmoid function. These retain the basic shape of a sigmoid, rising from 0 to 1, but using simpler functions, especially piecewise linear functions or piecewise constant functions. These are preferred where speed of computation is more important than precision.

## Examples

The most extreme examples are the sign function or Heaviside step function, which go from −1 to 1 or 0 to 1 (which to use depends on normalization) at 0.
Other examples include the Theano library, which provides two approximations: ultra_fast_sigmoid, which is a multi-part piecewise approximation and hard_sigmoid, which is a 3-part piecewise linear approximation (output 0, line with slope 0.2, output 1).
# Johannes Oosthout
