Christmas Holidays
I loved my Christmas holidays this year. I relaxed and spent time with family. Before Christmas, I took a trip around central Mexico with my son. We visited old haciendas in Queretaro and saw poinsettias. In San Luis Potosi, we explored natural areas like Tamul waterfall. We also saw the surreal designs created by Edward James in Xilitla. We watched dancers in Veracruz and visited archeological sites. We admired 16th century Catholic temples on our travels. We returned in time for Christmas dinner with family and friends. I enjoyed my trip as a Christmas present.

Reducing ac power consumption by compressor downsizing on a sport
This document discusses reducing air conditioning (AC) power consumption in vehicles by downsizing the AC compressor. It describes testing conducted on a sports utility vehicle (SUV) originally equipped with a 170 cc/rev reciprocating piston compressor. The study involved experimentally evaluating three compressors: 1) the original 170 cc compressor, 2) a 130 cc reciprocating compressor, and 3) a 90 cc rotary scroll compressor. The compressors were tested at the component, system, and vehicle levels. Results showed the 130 cc compressor reduced power consumption by 5-18% compared to the 170 cc compressor at the component level. At the system level, the 130 cc compressor maintained equivalent cooling to the 170 cc compressor after optimizing other system components

Fast Iterative Graph Computation with Block Updates
Scaling iterative graph processing applications to large graphs is an important problem. Performance is critical, as data scientists need to execute graph programs many times with varying parameters. The need for a high-level, high-performance programming model
has inspired much research on graph programming frameworks.
I will first introduce GRACE, a high-performance parallel graph processing framework. GRACE adopts the widely used vertex programming abstraction in graph processing applications, and it provides users with customizable functions for flexible scheduling. We observed that in GRACE, computationally light graph applications have severe
scalability problems across multiple cores as these applications hit an early “memory wall” that limits their speedup. We propose a novel block-oriented compute model where computation iterates over blocks of highly connected nodes to achieve better computation-to-communication ratios. Following this model, I will describe the design and implementation of a block-aware graph processing runtime for GRACE without changing its vertex-oriented programming model.
Iterative Graph Computation in the Big Data Era
Iterative graph computations are a key component in many big data applications. In my work, I have developed new frameworks to support efficient implementation of iterative graph computations, new distributed systems for analyzing dynamic graphs, and new algorithms for fast approximate computation over graphs that depend on time or on some parameters. In this talk, I focus on one example: the algorithmic challenge of efficient edge-weight personalization for PageRank.
I will first introduce two different ways to personalize PageRank: node weight personalization and edge weight personalization. Node weight personalization changes the teleport probabilities and edge weight personalization changes the transition probabilities in a random surfer model. While there exists many efficient methods for node weight personalization, fast edge weight personalization has been an open problem over a decade.
I will then describe the first fast method for computing PageRank on general graphs when the edge weights are personalized. Based on model reduction, this method is nearly five orders of magnitude faster than the standard approach for an example learning-to-rank application. This speed improvement enables interactive computation of a class of ranking results that previously could only be computed offline.
Fusion 360 architecture

Cricket predictor
This document discusses predicting the outcome of cricket matches and assisting coaches. It will use algorithms like Naive Bayes and ID3 to predict matches based on factors such as home advantage, toss result, and team combination. These predictions will determine betting odds. The system will also assist coaches by selecting the best team using player records and using algorithms like Gale-Shapley to determine the optimal batting order.

Following Enigma
The Enigma machine was a series of electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines created in 1918 and used commercially and by the military. Polish, French, and English scientists worked to decrypt Enigma messages in the early 1920s, with three Polish students solving the mystery of how Enigma encoded messages in 1932. As the Germans learned their messages were not secure, they improved the machine and encryption methods, requiring the Allies to continue working to decrypt messages during World War II from centers like Bletchley Park. Thanks to the efforts of Polish, English, and French scientists, the Allies were ultimately able to read messages encrypted by Enigma by the end of the war.
Names
The document discusses the names of students in classes IV and VI at a primary school in Zabór, Poland. It provides background information on various students' names, including their origins, histories, and meanings. For many of the names, it also gives brief descriptions of the typical characteristics of people with those names. The reasons for choosing the names discussed include family tradition, popularity, characters from history/literature, and the sound of the name.
Easter in our countries summary
The document summarizes some of the similarities and differences in how Easter is celebrated in Poland and Spain. In Poland, celebrations include decorating homes with bunnies, eggs and chicks, eating traditional foods like eggs and cakes, and beliefs around an Easter bunny bringing sweets. In Spain, traditions involve eating Easter cakes and chocolate eggs, singing songs and dancing with sticks. Both countries celebrate in church and with family, though not all celebrate due to religious beliefs.
