NEW: Historians worry a Trump library will be an airbrushed 'MAGA' tribute to a twice-impeached president https://t.co/1MWRjE3WlN by @rbravender & @davelevinthal ($) @Politicsinsider

 Historians and presidential-library buffs say they're worried that any sort of Donald Trump presidential library or museum will be used entirely to glorify the ex-commander in chief while promoting lies about his administration and attacking his critics.
Construction could wind up being a major battleground over the legacy of the 2x-impeached president. Historians & DC insiders are speculating about whether Trump's kids might lead the effort, where it would be located, & whether the federal government might withhold its support.
"It will be ostentatious. It will be like Trump Tower. It'll be like everything he does — over the top & not very subtle," said Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University.
"I think he'll use it to promote his memory or his understanding of what's happened. Not only the things he accomplished, but the people he doesn't like," Zelizer added.
Sources close to Trump say it hasn't been a central focus for POTUS in the waning days of his administration, partly because of his reluctance to admit he lost. Former WH spox Sean Spicer said he was unaware of any plans that Trump or his associates had for a library.
Political insiders are chattering about whether Trump might look to a conservative college or university to house a presidential center or museum, or if his family might run the effort. Trump himself could design the exhibits to excoriate his enemies.
"I'd assume the kids take charge" of any library planning, a former senior Trump administration official told Insider. "Maybe Ivanka or Don Jr."
Zelizer predicted a whole wing packed with exhibits about Trump's perceived opponents, like the media, Democrats, and "socialists." He said he expected that Trump's friends and donors would happily shell out cash to bolster the effort.
"I actually made a crack when he was first elected he'd probably put his library over a casino," said John Dean, the former White House counsel to President Richard Nixon often seen on cable TV sizing up the latest presidential scandal.
Trump and his backers are entitled to portray his life and administration any way they'd like inside a monument to his legacy. That could be a glitzy "MAGA" museum housed inside a casino in Florida or a glowing Trump exhibit inside a new wing of a conservative university.
But things get a lot more complicated if they want it to be an official presidential library with the logistical support of the National Archives and the legitimacy that comes with it.
Presidents dating back to Hoover have presidential libraries. The latest addition for President Obama is in the works, and it will be run under a new model where there's no on-site research facility — but the Obama Foundation is paying to digitize official White House records.
Such a "virtual presidential library" model, where research-worthy material that is administered in part by the National Archives is stored in a low-profile facility & publicly presented online, could appeal to Trump, said Mark Updegrove, president and CEO of the LBJ Foundation.
That way Trump could erect a privately funded monument "to control his own narrative and not have the federal government having a hand in presenting his narrative to the public," said Updegrove, the former director of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin.
Libraries are treasures for historians & extreme points of pride to outgoing & former presidents, who dedicate a lot of their energy to mapping out how they're perceived by the buses of school children, retirees, & history buffs who will visit their libraries and museums.
The federal government technically owns ex-presidents' documents, & the National Archives usually works in conjunction w/ private foundations. That federal backing is important for the public's perception that the enterprise is providing factual information.
But if Trump wants an official library with guardianship over his White House records, he'll have to follow the federal government's rules. Congress can deny any presidential-library proposal.

The rally tonight was brilliant. Did you catch what was happening?

Essentially, Trump laid down a million tons of pressure on the Senators, the Gov, the SoS, the Minion, and anyone else involved in the fraud.

But, he's also given them a choice.

Let me explain.

Trump comes out and immediately starts praising the Senators and talking about the "socialists taking over the country if we don't elect them", yadda yadda yadda...

He repeats all the same talking points the GOP has been flooding the media with these last weeks.

But if you think about it, these talking points are moot. Trump is playing the game.

Do you really think the good guys would allow the fate of the country and WTP to rest on the outcome of runoff election for 2 feckless, spineless, corrupt GOP RINO Senators?

Not at all.

Remember: the goods guys caught them. They captured all the evidence they ever needed.

At any time, Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act, layout the case and clean this all out. Military planning.

But it's not time for that yet.

So what does Trump do instead?

He comes to GA for a rally, gets all his followers fired up, tells them they should all vote in the runoff, and smiles at the Senators.

He then proceeds to list out all the unsealed evidence of voter fraud in GA on camera with millions watching

Trumps Amtsenthebung II: Auch dieses Mal wird der abgewählte Präsident nicht seines Amtes enthoben, so wie genau vor einem Jahr. Und zwar schon heute. Aber was ist da heute passiert?

1) Offene Fragen: Immer mehr Details zur Kommunikation zwischen Trump & im Kapitol befindlichen

RepublikanerInnen während des Kapitol-Sturms werden bekannt. So soll Trump in einem Telefonat mit engen Verbündeten die Bitte aktiv verneint haben, den Mob über Social Media zurückzupfeifen - "die Leute sind offenbar wütender als ihr über das, was da passiert ist", soll er laut

einer Republikanerin gesagt worden, der vom Anruf erzählt wurde. Und in den heutigen späten Nachmittagsstunden sind Gerüchte über weitere Kommunikation zwischen Trump und im Kapitol befindlichen RepublikanerInnen laut geworden. Das alles genau nachzuforschen, war auch der Plan

der demokratischen AnklägerInnen aus dem RepräsentantInnenhaus, die dafür für viele überraschend eine kurzfristige Abstimmung anberaumten und die ebenso überraschend deutlich mit 55:45 gewannen.

2) Der Deal: Dann muss es zwischen demokratischer und republikanischer Führung des

Senats zu einem Deal gekommen sein, der viele Trump-GegnerInnen erzürnt: Anstatt ZeugInnen vorzuladen und damit den Prozess gegen Trump zu intensivieren und zu verlängern, wurde vereinbart, die mediale Aussage der Republikanerin über das Telefonat einfach zu Protokoll zu nehmen

Important paper from Google on large batch optimization. They do impressively careful experiments measuring # iterations needed to achieve target validation error at various batch sizes. The main "surprise" is the lack of surprises. [thread]

https://t.co/7QIx5CFdfJ


The paper is a good example of lots of elements of good experimental design. They validate their metric by showing lots of variants give consistent results. They tune hyperparamters separately for each condition, check that optimum isn't at the endpoints, and measure sensitivity.

They have separate experiments where the hold fixed # iterations and # epochs, which (as they explain) measure very different things. They avoid confounds, such as batch norm's artificial dependence between batch size and regularization strength.

When the experiments are done carefully enough, the results are remarkably consistent between different datasets and architectures. Qualitatively, MNIST behaves just like ImageNet.

Importantly, they don't find any evidence for a "sharp/flat optima" effect whereby better optimization leads to worse final results. They have a good discussion of experimental artifacts/confounds in past papers where such effects were reported.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YAJNA

Fire is, of course, one of the greatest discovery of mankind. Our control over the fire dramatically changed the entire human habits; earlier it was used to cook food, protection from animals and to stay warm.


Among the many applications of fire, one is Yajna (यज्ञ, yajña); also called as Havana (हवन) or Agnihotra (अग्निहोत्र).
Yajna is elaborately described in Yajurveda. In Yajurveda, Yajna is the greatest among all works (Karman). One can purify his /her soul by performing Yajna.

In Vedic culture, it is thought that the holy fire is the mediator between Gods and us; when the offerings are made to Yajna with chanting mantras, it directly reaches the Gods, who bless the people with rains, food, health, and good luck.

According to Apastamba Sutra, the definition of Yajna is Vedic sacrifice; an act by which we surrender something for gods e.g. grains (Anna), pulse, milk and milk product (ghee, butter, curd) fruits, plant juice (soma), etc.

As we said; Yajna is the contact medium for gods and

to seek their blessings.

There are many types of Yajna performed by Hindus for e.g.,

1. Rajsuya Yajna
2. Ashwamedha Yajna
3. Chaaturmasya Yajna
4. Vaajpey Yajna
5. Purushmedha Yajna
6. Sarvamedha Yajna

But another reason why the name of this Amarkot is inextricably linked with the history of the subcontinent is the partition of the country.

A long but must read thread. Udaybhan Rathore and myth making in Maratha history: An analysis. This is the thread on Udaybhan Rathore, who he was and how over the time period, his life was portrayed in maratha chronicles and pseudo history. (1/n)

Udaybhan rathore was the head of Bhinai thikana (84 villages) in Ajmer. He was the direct descendant of the famous Rao Chandrasen, Raja of Marwar (4th generation) who resisted Akbar all his life and never made any alliance with mughals like Maharana Pratap. (2/n)

Later in 1783, Maharaja of Jodhpur gave title of Raja to Bhinai family for their military service. Bhinai family and their direct descendant Raja Sh Mayuraj Singh still lives in Ajmer. Anyway coming to Udaybhan Rathore and story of Tanaji. (3/n)

Jai Singh's march on Shivaji and treaty of Purandar (1665) is a well known episode to repeat here. After getting the hill forts from Shivaji under the treaty, Jai Singh didn't have enough man-power to man every one of the small forts because of his next (4/n)

campaign against Bijapur. Jai Singh personally took over a couple of important forts like Kondhana (Sinhgarh), Purandar etc. Others were given to some mughals or their fortification walls destroyed. Jai Singh died in 1667 near Burhanpur while enroute to the north. (5/n)
