We recently highlighted opportunities for partners and peers to learn more about web archiving technology and practices through the Archive-It Advanced Training webinar series–all recorded and available on-demand. As more organizations and communities find web archiving needs though, Internet Archive staff are also introducing new and extended training materials to get them crawling for the first time.
With Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Joseph Altuzarra, Troy Arnold. The five remaining designers are challenged to create a two-look collection and a digital marketing campaign. In addition to a fashion show, the designers will have to act as creative directors in a photo shoot with their models. In an epic and rainy fashion show, some of the designers shine, while others get washed out.

Version 4.0.6 of the Simple Location plugin has been released. A lot of the under-the-hood improvements involved the development environment…working on some automations for code testing that I’m going to add to my other projects. User facing, the following features are now available HERE Maps ...
Much to my annoyance, at the end of March, Dark Sky announced it was now part of Apple and was immediately shutting down its Android app and would be shutting down its public API at the end of 2021. So, Dark Sky, my favorite weather service, is going to be dead to me. However, this is not the first ...
Having been doing it for many years now, my advice would be to start slow and take it one thing at time. Slow and steady will definitely help out a lot.
There’s also a lot out there that you can do, so tinker around a bit, read a bit, and ask yourself: what do I want my site to be able to do? Look at others’ sites: what do you like about them enough to want to build on your own site?
Maybe join us for an upcoming event too?
My PhD thesis “At the Interface of Algebra and Statistics” is now on the arXiv! https://t.co/7IwEu8wqQC It uses basic tools in quantum physics to explore mathematical structure that's both algebraic & statistical.

This thesis takes inspiration from quantum physics to investigate mathematical structure that lies at the interface of algebra and statistics. The starting point is a passage from classical probability theory to quantum probability theory. The quantum version of a probability distribution is a density operator, the quantum version of marginalizing is an operation called the partial trace, and the quantum version of a marginal probability distribution is a reduced density operator. Every joint probability distribution on a finite set can be modeled as a rank one density operator. By applying the partial trace, we obtain reduced density operators whose diagonals recover classical marginal probabilities. In general, these reduced densities will have rank higher than one, and their eigenvalues and eigenvectors will contain extra information that encodes subsystem interactions governed by statistics. We decode this information, and show it is akin to conditional probability, and then investigate the extent to which the eigenvectors capture "concepts" inherent in the original joint distribution. The theory is then illustrated with an experiment that exploits these ideas. Turning to a more theoretical application, we also discuss a preliminary framework for modeling entailment and concept hierarchy in natural language, namely, by representing expressions in the language as densities. Finally, initial inspiration for this thesis comes from formal concept analysis, which finds many striking parallels with the linear algebra. The parallels are not coincidental, and a common blueprint is found in category theory. We close with an exposition on free (co)completions and how the free-forgetful adjunctions in which they arise strongly suggest that in certain categorical contexts, the "fixed points" of a morphism with its adjoint encode interesting information.
