When IBM Watson Robot Bae Ignores You
Tags: Robotics, Womenintech, Coding

The #BUILTBYGIRLS squad is taking over the most powerful companies in the world. We launched a tech-focused event series in January called The Hashtag, with the help of a very special guest — Pepper, a humanoid robot powered by IBM Watson. In an exclusive, #BUILTBYGIRLS-only tour of IBM Watson at Astor Place in New York City, 37 teen girls spent quality time with Pepper, got an inside look at the Watson technology, and shared some really heartfelt thoughts about modern-day tech:

We brought team #BUILTBYGIRLS to Watson in the first of our Hashtag events, a monthly series designed to highlight how trending companies use tech and expose high school girls to the incredible careers and experiences that technology can unlock for them. The girls heard from IBMers who handle everything from Watson programming to social media — and got a sense for how all roles rely on an understanding of the very cool technology.

Pepper welcomed us into the Watson Experience Center, where she answered our important questions, like “where can we find some snacks?” and showed off her impressive dance moves. Watson team members gave us a glimpse of the code that powers Pepper, and explained cognitive computing with stunning visuals that animated across a 40-foot interactive wall.

100% of the girls agreed that this event opened their eyes to the possibilities of technology that they were unaware of — “AMAZINGGG!!! Never knew this technology existed but now that I do I so want to be a part of its future development.”

We got the rare chance to sit inside the immersive Watson Experience room, where we learned how the Watson technology might have changed a real medical case. Rachel, our Watson Experience leader, assured us that Watson will never plot to take over the world (phew!), and shared how the girls can access the Watson technology to build on their own. The girls teased that the only drawback might be a requirement to share their gigantic profits with IBM.

The evening ended with chips and a dip tasting — the recipes created by Chef Watson, of course, and we made plans to see the girls again in February for our “Technology of Love & Connection” Hashtag event. We invited Pepper along, but something tells us she has a pretty full calendar…so for now, we’ll just keep her on our list of #squadgoals.

What you need to know about Forks

These are forks that are related to the amazing crypto world, not to in any sense less amazing world of food. Basically, Fork is simply a cool name for a software or a protocol update. Forks create a new version of blockchain and, depending on what type of fork this is, two blockchains will run on different parts of the network at the same time.

Are the Responses to the Viral Renault Clio Advert Biphobic?
Tags: LGBTQ, Digital Life, Bisexual, Zuva, Social Media

I hesitate to label her. After all, it is a short clip to be over-analysing. However, as a bisexual woman, the leap by some to erase such a pivotal part in the plot unsettles me. After all, watching the French woman marry a man through the eyes of the sad British woman was a turning point in the story. Without that, the final shot of the two women happily together with their children wouldn’t have felt so rewarding. Which is why I wonder if this is another instance of bisexual erasure (bi-erasure) — the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or reexplain evidence of bisexuality.

Bisexuality is stigmatised in both society and the LGBTQ+ community — even though we reportedly make up 52% of the latter. A 2015 study found that gays and lesbians had nearly identical prejudice against bisexuals as heterosexuals. We are commonly stereotyped as greedy, cheaters and confused. The biphobia is so serious that we are statistically less likely to come out, with one survey finding that compared to 71% of lesbians and 77% of gay men, only 28% of bisexual individuals shared their sexual orientation.

A different report found that bisexual individuals are prone to higher rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide. Not to mention, Bi youths have a higher incidence of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts than gay and lesbian youths as well as a higher risk of truancy and bullying.

Bi-erasure at its most extreme can include the belief that bisexuality does not exist. That all bisexual individuals are in a phase and will soon choose a side, either heterosexual or homosexual.

Which is why I found the reaction to the advert unsetting. Renault, did an amazing job telling a beautiful queer story, however to call it a ‘lesbian love story’ seems limiting? Maybe I have become to hyperaware and sensitive but it seems to me that many people have forgotten that bisexuals exist. Is this an innocent reaction or has the public picked a side? Then again, by claiming bi-erasure, am I not doing the same as those I am critiquing by labelling something unsaid?
👀Huobi x CoinMarketCal👀A Coin To Keep An Eye On!
By: Huobi Global
Tags: Huobi, Buyatom, Coinmarketcal, Cryptocurrency, Cosmos

CoinMarketCal has selected ATOM as the coin to keep an eye on this week!

🔹What is (Cosmos) ATOM?

The Cosmos (ATOM) is a cryptocurrency that is positioning itself as a decentralized network of independent blockchains that operate on the basis of Byzantine fault tolerance algorithms (BFT). Tendermint BFT is a byzantine fault-tolerant consensus engine that powers Cosmos Proof-of-Stake. These blockchains interact with each other through the Cosmos network, called the “Internet of blockchains.” Cosmos Hub is the first blockchain launched in Cosmos, and its main task is to interconnect other blockchains in the ecosystem. Tokens can be safely and quickly transferred from one blockchain to another within the Cosmos Hub.

ATOM | USDT 1D Oct 4th 20:20 EDT

📅Event: On Oct 5th Cosmos had an AMA with @chjango about Cosmos with @kyle_vbc.

📈Analysis

After a meteoric 245% rise in July alone, ATOM has almost fully retraced and could form a reversal.

The bullish trendline, consolidation area, and 62% fib retracement converge near a former price inefficiency near $4.256. This level provided support — and also provided the base to what many traders may view as a potential inverse head and shoulders pattern reversal.

Bulls might take positions in the current area or on a pullback toward the previous week’s low. Targets include a previous week’s high and probable resistance levels up to $6.978.

Bears could enter near the bearish trendline and a previous week’s high near $5.596. Targets range from the previous weekly low down to price inefficiency near $4.304.

Providing An Incentive For Investors to HODL
By: Pam Phua
Tags: Blockchain, Investing, Elysian, Hodl, Ely

Initial Coin Offerings(ICOs) are all the rage now with hundreds of ICOs happening across the globe. However, many of these ICOs have failed due to manipulation, pump and dump schemes, and communities that tend to flip the coins for short-term profits. One platform that can solve all of these issues is Elysian, a blockchain-based ecommerce platform.

Elysian provides an exclusive membership program that can build and maintain a strong community of individuals that are truly vested in the platform. These type of investors help the long-term future of the project as actually care about the results from the project and not just the short-term returns.

The Elysian membership program is a three-tiered program that provides varying rewards depending on the level of ELYCOINs held by community members. Community members who wish to enjoy these benefits must lock their ELYCOINs for a minimum of 12 months. To do this, the tokens that participants want to use for the membership program are required to be sent to a particular address with a smart contract to ensure that the tokens are locked for exactly 12 months. With this smart contract, individuals will be unable to withdraw the tokens for their own use within the 12 months.

The Elysian membership program is split into three tiers, gold, platinum, and diamond. Each one of these three tiers requires a certain level of commitment with its own rewards. The gold tier requires a lock-in of 10,000 ELYCOINs while the platinum tier and diamond tier requires 100,000 and 1,000,000 ELYCOINs respectively. One important consideration is that each tier is capped at an arbitrary number of members. The limited availability of membership slots will generate high demand for the program. The details of each criteria and incentive for the three tiers are shown in the table below.

One important incentive in the membership program is that members are able to receive discounts on purchases made on the Elysian e-commerce platform. This provides a tangible use case for ELYCOINs, which would help to raise the value of the token in the long run.

As you can see, with the Elysian membership program, Elysian is able to provide a strong incentive for users to hold on to their ELYCOINs for the long term. Besides the discounts, members can enjoy other great benefits like a yearly Elysian merchandise package, first-class airfare to the annual Elysian summit and more. Thus, investors in the Elysian platform can now HODL without worry!

Conundrums

Tags: Sex, Sensuality, Love, Life, Poetry

Smell the taste of burning orgasmic self-expression,

lovers reach a paradise of wanting peaks of existence such as mountains, do,

cherry trees blossom underneath the covers of self-tribulation,

it is within the boneless creation that a man and a woman join, hand in hand,

heart within the heart, egoic dissolution of the self,

helpless and angered by the masts that break;

inside the deep tragic oceans, covered by dreams of misty waters,

explain the tragedy of loving, the majestic tribulations of truth, beheld,

only if the greater purpose was to join the hand that holds.

Trusting the seeker, fortune awaits those that awaken in slumber,

concrete floors are for the falling, while curtains blow in the summer winds,

it is this prediction that favors the fortunate,

the predilection for awakening the prophets,

the magnetic compulsion of the awakened.

A Sheet of White Paper
By: Lunatic Thoughts
Tags: Love, Feelings, Sadness, Thoughts, Poetry

My mind is blank today

a white piece of paper

incidentally stained

by the cup of your coffee

on a typical morning

these brown lines

relentlessly circling

around the same topic

you will regret it — later

when you’ll sit down to write

and for another, whiter and prettier paper

you will cast me aside

and maybe tomorrow

lost in thought and so kind

you will doodle a picture

on the sheet of my mind

and I’ll lay there, surrendered

and I’ll wait for the day

when you finally crumple

and throw me away

Flowers of attainment are the beginning point of all existence, rare in their composure,

investing in cherry red maples, clarity through focus on salutation,

the sunset begins to end the day whilst the orange glow penetrates your soul,

endless beaches fulfill greatest fantasies of trampling upon the shore,

sand castles crumble as tides start rolling in,

bereft in their character, suppose one has the strength of arbor trees,

willows dining upon fresh grasses while geese stop their waddling to enjoy,

castles of ginger fill the house with fresh scents of translucence,

behold the king of the down trodden and master of the fill; the heron,

jewels of utmost perfection reside inside the oyster,

pearls sifting through the bottom of the ocean, layer by layer it is excavated,

wearing the shifting patterns of black and white as ensconced,

all the while, summer awaits in the backwards, waiting for petals to unfold.

Bones You Crack With Your Teeth
By: Felicia C. Sullivan
Tags: Women, Fiction Friday, Family, Fiction, Abuse

Kitty Lister tore off her nails, one by one, with her hands. She was determined to get down to the quick, that one. Kitty did it because she was bored and hoping for blood, desperate for a kind of wound that only comes from vulnerable skin. When there’s nothing to shield or protect it. But all she got was a palm of half-moons and a disappointment rivaling the blizzard that threatened to black out their house.

Kitty patted her hair, stiff from a bottle of spray. The sides reminded of her shark fins, sleek and swift, cutting through water on a hunt. At night, she stood over her mother’s sleeping body and shook her head, willing the fins to move. Kitty opened her mouth and bared her teeth until her mother whimpered. Cried in her sleep. Was it because her father had raped a pack of Lithuanian girls and maybe killed one of them? That he’d been part of a ring of balding, paunchy men who paid the town pharmacist to stuff the girls with bottles of Love’s Baby Soft and air freshener? Transformed their pale faces into coconut cream pies? Hey, sweet girl. Daddy’s here with the frosting.

The things men do.

Paul Lister was the do-gooder gone bad making headlines. While her mother adequately scream-cried for the cameras, Kitty was curious. Murder? She didn’t think the old man had it in him.

Kitty leaned over her mother and placed a crescent on each eyelid, whispered, “June, open your eyes.”

Kitty had a feeling of floating, of being a cell divided in two. One version stood still while the other hovered in the distance. One girl opened a window, considered falling out of it like the fifth girl under the floor, while the other watched her mother maw at a pillow. The Kittys bargained and conspired while their mother’s splayed-out body and tear-soaked sheets resembled an after-school special on TV.

They wondered what it would be like to plunge a pair of scissors through their mother’s cheek. What sort of mess it would make.

Did the Jets now accuse the Patriots of bugging their locker room?!?
By: Paul Dughi
Tags: NFL, New England Patriots, New York Jets

When the Jets played the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, reports say they placed was swept for bugs… just in case somebody from that Pats organization might have been listening in.

Maybe. Maybe not.

The report initially said the Jets requested the sweep. And so says former NFL QB Boomer Esiason on his radio show this week. The NFL says that didn’t happen.

“No such request was made by the Jets.” — NFL’s Brian McCarthy to NBC Sports

But sources report the sweep did happen. Regardless, it has happened before.

we have for years conducted regular & random checks. we do not get into details of specific games. https://t.co/tRsXOr2iEP — Brian McCarthy (@NFLprguy) October 30, 2015

And teams have taken extraordinary precautions when playing the Patriots. SI reported in September that at least five teams did bug sweeps at their hotels, locker rooms, or coaches’ booths.

It’s not the first time the claim has been made against the Pats. Former Colts coach Tony Dungy, appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, said that when the Colts were playing in New England, Peyton Manning would leave the locker room and go into the hallway when he wanted to discuss strategy because they feared the room was bugged.

Android Click Debounce
By: Aleksander Kubista
Tags: Android, Data Binding, Kotlin, Coroutine

Implementation

Now it’s high time to get back to our empty block and fill it with proper code.

Debounce.kt fun <T> debounce(

delayMillis: Long = 300L,

scope: CoroutineScope,

action: (T) -> Unit

): (T) -> Unit {

var debounceJob: Job? = null

return { param: T ->

if (debounceJob == null) {

debounceJob = scope.launch {

action(param)

delay(delayMillis)

debounceJob = null

}

}

}

}

If debounceJob is null, action is launched in new coroutine and until delay time passes there will be no more invocations.

Finally we can add our custom debouncer to binding adapter.

BindingAdapters.kt @BindingAdapter("android:onClick")

fun setDebounceListener(view: Button, onClickListener: View.OnClickListener) {

val clickWithDebounce: (view: View) -> Unit =

debounce(scope = MainScope()) {

onClickListener.onClick(it)

} view.setOnClickListener(clickWithDebounce)

}

Some of you might noticed that we use MainScope() which is not cleared at any point. As our debounceDelay is very short, chances of leak are rather small. We have three options:

We leave it with MainScope() → works automatically with databinded onClick / possible leak. We use lifecycleScope passed by databinding→ safe from leaks / requires additional line of code Thanks to Pavel Shchahelski for mentioning. We can now obtain lifecycleScope from view with use of ViewTreeLifecycleOwner. It has advantages of first and second option and has no drawbacks.

If you don’t want to remember about adding some additional lines you have the possibility. In my opinion we should always write safe code and it requires adding only one more line to our activity.

BindingAdapters.kt @BindingAdapter("android:onClick")

fun setDebounceListener(view: Button, onClickListener: View.OnClickListener) {

val scope = ViewTreeLifecycleOwner.get(view)!!.lifecycleScope

val clickWithDebounce: (view: View) -> Unit =

debounce(scope = scope) {

onClickListener.onClick(it)

}



view.setOnClickListener(clickWithDebounce)

}

We also need to decor our activity layout

A Simple Linear Regression Model
By: Carter Bouley
Tags: Data Science, Linear Regression Python, Energy, Carbon Emissions

Regression analysis is a powerful statistical method that enables examination between variables of interest. It can be utilised to assess the strength of the relationship between variables, and modelling the future relationship between them.

Economists are obsessed with Regressions. This is likely why they were such an integral and formative chunk of my university years. This kind of quantitive estimation is one of the most important and frequently used tools to understand economic theories.

In economics, correlations are common, but identifying whether the correlation between two or more variables is causal is rarely as easy. Regression analysis enables us to predict the direction and distance of change, and significance of this relationship between variables.

It is also one of the most well known and understood algorithms in statistics, Data Science and Machine Learning. Its simplicity means it’s a good place to start for those looking in to the space.

Optimize Jekyll Assets With Gulp Using Netlify
By: Chirag Paliwal
Tags: JavaScript, Programming, Continuous Deployment, Netlify, Jekyll

This piece is for someone who’s looking to set up a Jekyll + Gulp workflow with Netlify to utilize Netlify’s seamless integration with GitHub and its continuous-deployment (CD) feature.

One could always set up a Gulp workflow with Jekyll and later manually deploy it on Netlify — and there are numerous articles to help you deal with that — but manual deploys would bypass the CD, which is arguably Netlify’s best feature, allowing the deploys to be triggered by a quick git push.

What we want to achieve here is to run a Jekyll blog that’s completely optimized — all images minified and style sheets bundled. Gulp should pretty much take care of all of the optimizations, but writing a simple blog post shouldn’t be a cumbersome task where you’d have to run jekyll build and gulp build every single time — let alone the hassle of installing all Gulp modules locally. It should be as simple as performing a simple git push.

So we can leverage Netlify’s CD feature to take care of the building, optimizing, and deploying of the website for us.

Technical Case Study for Software Developers
By: Ben Aron Davis

Photo by Maksym Kaharlytskyi on Unsplash

Congratulations! You made it past the phone screen, and the recruiter schedules your next round of interviews. One is a behavioral interview. The other is a technical interview, which will include a case study. What is a case study? I don’t claim to have every possible version of how these case studies go, but I can offer you one scenario to expect based on my own experience.

The recruiter notified me that I’d receive an email with the case study a specified time before my technical interview. I had no idea what to expect from the case study. As promised, the email arrived at the scheduled time prior to the technical interview.

The case study consisted of one text file that provided a scenario and a desired feature with certain functionality. It instructed me to take the time prior to my interview to prepare an example solution for that feature with the ability to explain it to the technical interviewer. This solution did not need to be functioning code. However, the instructions did suggest creating visuals to supplement the solution. Visuals don’t need to be pictures or graphs either, although they can be. For my visual, I wrote out pseudocode, which I referred to during my discussion with the technical interviewer.

I recommend taking advantage of some sort of visual supplement for two reasons. The first reason is that you should have something to reference in case you don’t remember every aspect of the solution you thought of while you’re discussing with the interviewer. The second reason you should create a visual for your solution is that it will guide you through the solution thought process in the first place.

I decided I would write pseudocode, because that’s typically how I think through features in the first place. Since the company uses Java, I pseudocoded an object-oriented program in a similar fashion to a Java file. Later I talked through my thought process with the interviewer and felt confident knowing I already had the blueprint created. The rest of the technical interview consisted of general programming questions.

Don’t let this fool you into expecting you can make it through the hiring process without writing actual, functioning code. Before I ever made it to the technical interview, I completed the company’s code challenge through HackerRank. Luckily, that code challenge allows you to write in any language of your choosing, so as long as you’re confident in one of the common languages you should be okay. If you’re curious about code challenges, I wrote about my experience in that arena as well.
Five Women Making Waves in the World of Cryptocurrency
By: Thuy Nguyen
Tags: Bitcoin, Blockchain, Women In Tech, Cryptocurrency, Fintech

Cryptocurrency is having a hot moment, but amongst all the buzz, there’s a key ingredient that many are overlooking: diversity.

Many think the white guy in the hoodie is driving the revolution, although in actual fact, some of the key players don’t exactly fit this brief. The cryptocurrency marketplace is diverse and exciting, just like the leaders spearheading it all.

Tech companies are among the worst offenders for sexism, and it’s no surprise the #MeToo movement started in Silicon Valley. There’s still a long way to go for full D&I, with some studies indicating women account for only four to six percent of blockchain investors. But there are green shoots at the grassroots level suggesting things are fundamentally changing.

Introducing women in crypto — not a definitive list (which is hopeful in itself), but definitely a good place to start.

Pretty much everyone is familiar with TechCrunch, but you may not know that TechCrunch has a global presence in China. This year, TechCrunch China’s event was called Beyond Unicorn and took place on July 2–3, 2018. Blockchain startups were included in the event, with an entire section dedicated to the space. Ke Xu, founder and CEO of ONO gave a presentation at the TechCrunch CN event, Beyond Unicorn: Hangzhou on July 2–3, 2018.

From the TechCrunch China website:

It has been four years since TechCrunch.cn and the TechCrunch China Summit landed in China. In that time, we have seen 8 sessions in Beijing and Shanghai with more than 650 speakers, including the world’s most famous entrepreneur, venture investor like Alphabet/Google CEO Mr. Eric Schmidt, Xiaoping Xu, Fan Bao, Kaifu Li, Yossi Vardi, Davide Cole, and Huateng Ma, CEO of Tencent as well as other high-profile guests from around the world from companies including, Twitter, ZTE, DJI, Xiaomi, iRobot, Smartisan, Mobike, Sogou, Mogujie, Ele.me, and NextVR. Each session has attracted 200+ startups, 170+ media around the world, furthermore, our feature VC Meetup sessions attracted 800+ startups to participate. The annual TechCrunch Summit is the definitive international venture conference in China.

During Ke Xu’s presentation, she stated:

In the field of content creation, blockchain technology has changed the way that value is delivered. The old systems do not adequately give back value to those who create it, but now blockchain tech gives us an opportunity to redistribute those benefits to the original creators. It allows people to own their data and control how it is monetized. This will inspire content creators to produce better content and in the process, make the platform more prosperous. As the system flourishes, it will also become very high quality, so we believe that the blockchain can form a new economic source in the content field.

What is a Data Analyst? What is Data Scientist? Qualification: Data Science vs Data Analyst. Skill Set Required: Data Science vs Data Analyst. Roles & Responsibilities: Data Science vs Data Analyst. Salary: Data Science vs Data Analyst.

Firstly, I would like to start with:

What is a Data Analyst?

Today’s age is of the Data age, where lots of data is generated daily. So to handle this huge amount of data, there are various roles that are in demand. The Data Analyst is one of the roles. A data analyst takes the data, perform analysis on this data, and help companies to make better decisions. Data analysts perform analysis on numeric as well as other kinds of data. Then convert it into the English language so that anyone can understand. After translating it to the English language, the upper management uses this data to make a better decision, that helps them in the business.

So the main responsibilities of Data analysts are to collect the data. Then performs correlation analysis and reports it to upper management.

What is Data Scientist?

A data scientist is a professional, who works on a vast amount of data. This data may be structured as well as unstructured. They use their all skills like statistics, programming, and machine learning for creating a tactical plan. A data scientist has the power of all data editor activities. For business-related decision making, a data scientist has a higher probability to make a decision.

The Magical Shower

A shower is indeed magical don’t you think?

Nature has its own range of showers to offer.

Where rainfall is considered a marvel,

Meteor shower is termed as a disaster.

The waterfall is admired by us all,

but snowfall covered roads could be painful

for a man named Paul.

But we humans know how to create mini-natures,

and so we recreated nature’s shower in our bathrooms.

Basking in our own glory every single day,

Celebrating our ‘unique’ discovery

which is only a meagre way of imitating

one of nature’s yet another wonderful creations

— The One and Only Magical Shower of Nature.
A Tale Of Two Kinds of Media Workers

If Zoom Dick has reinforced anything about journalism, it’s the reminder of a stark stratification in the industry. There are people who feel totally fine literally jerking off at work and collecting a comfortable paycheck, while the media underclass writes SEO posts in a permanent stress-crouch position for barely enough money to cover rent. You’re a figurative Toobin, or you’re writing 7 posts a day, wondering if you’ll be allowed back in the office to collect the stuff on your desk if you get let go in the looming next round of layoffs, or if they’ll just throw out your succulent and your notepads when they decide to shift to permanent WFH in a few months because of the overhead rent costs.

In some newsrooms, these directives for non-Toobins are explicit. McClatchy, the owner of the Sacramento Bee wants to tie its reporters’ pay to how many clicks a story gets. In an open letter to McClatchy CEO Tony Hunter, the Pacific Media Workers Guild said that a pay-for-clicks strategy would “negatively affect newsgathering, employee morale and The Bee’s reputation.” According to the newspaper’s union, its owner is withholding months of backpay from last year’s contractually guaranteed raises unless the newsroom accepts the pay-for-clicks terms.

(“The suggestion that The Bee is tying journalists’ pay to clicks is inaccurate,” Lauren Gustus, the editor of the Bee, told the Sacramento Business Journal. “We are proposing performance metrics that measure readership and engagement to better serve our communities. This is a concept both parties agreed to in prior sessions and is one component of a comprehensive performance management process that measures performance against standards and goals.”)

But the reality is that any publication strategy prioritizing “performance metrics” continues to put pressure on the people whose daily jobs already involve stretching themselves as thin as possible for as little money as possible.

These two groups of media workers exist within the same newsrooms, inhabit the same floors of shared office space under normal circumstances. One group is hunched over their computers, taking lunch at their desks, studying Chartbeat, trying to find one more thing to post for the day, terrified of missing a quota. The other is walking around the office, cracking jokes, having a blast, popping into the EIC’s office to say hi, sitting at a shared table because they visit the office so infrequently that they no longer have their own desk.

The Toobins get talking heads spots on cable news networks. They often look like him, too. “Diversity” at media companies gets siloed into social media and low-paying editorial roles, the cogs that allow the machine to keep turning, lets the Toobins keep, uh, cranking along. The low-paid grunt workers feed the content mines, absorb the social blowback from a hastily written headline, and allow for the Toobins of the world to continue their largely metaphorical — but sometimes literal — masturbatory practices.
Killing without Knowing: We Did It Again

Gladys Kuehler ran a mobile home park in Ozark, Missouri. She was found dead in her bedroom in October 1991, sexually assaulted and stabbed more than fifty times.

Barton was a former tenant and regularly spent time at Kuehler’s mobile home park. He was with her granddaughter and neighbor on the night she was found dead. Police found three small blood stains on Barton’s clothing that matched Kuehler’s. A blood-spatter analyst testified that they were likely from the “impact” of the knife; Barton claims the blood got on him when he pulled Kuehler’s granddaughter away from the body.

The prosecution’s theory was that Barton went to borrow money from Kuehler and wound up killing her. The blood stains were the cornerstone of their case, along with another inmate who claimed that Barton confessed to him in jail.

Barton was convicted and sentenced to death in 1994, but the case was so marred by questions and errors that his conviction was repeatedly overturned. He had a total of five trials, one of which resulted in a hung jury, but was ultimately sent to die. Barton maintained his innocence.

In the years since Barton’s conviction, blood-pattern analysis has come under heavy scrutiny in the forensic science community, including a National Academy of Sciences study which noted that “the uncertainties associated with bloodstain-pattern analysis are enormous.” And recently, an independent blood spatter analyst examined the evidence from Barton’s case, concluding that the killer would have had more blood on him and the small stains were consistent with Barton’s version.

The new evidence has proven compelling enough that several jurors who convicted Barton now doubt his guilt, including the jury foreman who said that, given what is now known, he would be “uncomfortable” recommending capital punishment.

A Real-Time Video of The Titanic Sinking

It was sad when that great ship went down.

YouTube

As we learned through commercial cinema and the music of Celine Dion, the RMS Titanic sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. What you might not know is that the real-time sinking wasn’t much longer than a movie itself—the boat disappeared beneath the water only two hours and forty minutes after impact, taking with it all of the hubris and “we built an unsinkable ship” hype that had been surrounding it in the media. For no reason at all, here is what that looked like:

Stop advertising your business until you get your Yelp reviews in order.

A man showed up to pick up a hair dryer and set of curling irons for his girlfriend. As I got ready to walk away, he gave me a pitch for his contracting business as an electrician, handyman and painter. Although that seemed like a lot of careers for one person — in addition to him telling me he can build a house from scratch — he had no promo vehicle nor business cards because he wants “to save the environment.” He told me to check out his Yelp! page instead. I was excited about this impromptu networking, considering I know someone who needs bathroom repairs and my go-to handyman is hibernating for the winter. I mentioned how annoying it is when handymen are no-shows. He agreed. But then his Yelp page was full of complaints about no-shows. I mentioned that to him in a follow-up email. His response: “Oh yeah, those bad reviews are for when I didn’t show up.”
