Manage and organize searchesThe conventional least-squared-distance method of fitting a line to a set of data points is unreliable when the amount of random noise in the input (such as an image) is significant compared with the amount of data correlated to the line itself. Points which are far away from the line (outliers) are usually just noise, but they contribute the most to the distance averaging, skewing the line from its correct position. The author presents a statistical method of separating the data of interest from random noise, using a maximum-likelihood principle.

11 Best Practices
for Peer Code ReviewAs we approach what we understand to be the last weeks of stage four lockdown in Melbourne, given the necessary and dramatic reduction in COVID-19 cases and associated deaths, it is timely to reflect on things other than the obvious limitations of confinement to a household, a five kilometre geography, nightly curfew, limited rights to exercise, too much alcohol, banana bread and sourdough.
I have considered myself fortunate in that I am still attending the office, albeit in a building on my own. This has been a starkly different experience within a campus that normally bustles with 12,000 people but is now operating with as few as 24 staff to maintain essential services. However, there is now a glimmer of light on the horizon. I wish to acknowledge our extraordinary staff who have continued to teach, provide student services, and fulfil many other tasks essential for the operation of this complex organisation, often from their lounge room and sometimes under the most unusual and fraught circumstances.
There are so many I could mention, but by way of example I wish to single out the work of Jeremy Ambrose, our Campus Pastoral Associate for staff from our Campus Ministry team. Jeremy was one of the last to reluctantly leave campus, routinely visiting isolated staff in our scattered buildings, usually with gifts of food to share, conversation and deep empathy. I have been approached by multiple people praising Jeremy’s actions and unfailing support. It has made a difference. And Jeremy is a very different sort of person.
In our long isolation, Jeremy has contacted staff by email, by phone, in person where possible, and through wonderfully creative endeavours. These include: Tuesday and Thursday morning prayer sessions for staff to come together in solidarity; an online newsletter ‘Campus Connections’; video clips on Workplace such as the ‘Locked down but not out’ series, a 15-20-minute show that includes introducing one of our campus staff, a musical interlude which often showcases a colleagues’ hidden musicality, and a reflective or humorous ending to lift the spirits. ‘Meet my books’ is another series where Jeremy invites a staff member to share a recent book they have enjoyed, and then our librarian, Karen Campbell, talks further about the selection. Early on, Jeremy sent out a video of our desolate campus, devoid of people, accompanied by the boozy horn of B.J. Thomas’ ‘Everybody’s out of town’. It was humorous and poignant – a combination that resonated with so many.
The people of St Patrick’s Campus have been extraordinary across the board, and Jeremy’s efforts are but one example of how committed and creative people have sought to sustain one another through challenging times and keep the spark of hope glimmering in our hearts.SHE MAY NOT BE THE MOST FAMOUS lesbian comedienne in the biz, but she's surely one of the best. Marga Gomez has been teasing audiences around the country with wit and cutting clarity since she entered the world of theater in the early '90s. The Harlem-born Cuban/Puerto Rican began her professional career as one of the original members of Culture Clash, the influential and cutting-edge Latino comedy group. 
But soon the funny lady realized her truest talents lie with comedy, and Gomez has been developing offbeat characters that delve into social commentary and sexual politics ever since.
Gomez, who performs at UCSC's Mainstage Theater on Saturday night, bills herself as "half-Cuban, half-lesbian" and isn't shy about anything. Her shows--including Memory Tricks and A Line Around the Block--are known for their raucous, uncensored journeys through topics as varied as male bonding, Anaïs Nin and her mother's illness. But as unconventional and heavy as Gomez may be, she always manages to keep people laughing. Laughing through their tears, maybe, but in stitches nonetheless.
Her current show, Marga Gomez Is Pretty, Witty and Gay, is based more on her sexuality and relationships than past works, and is more akin to stand-up comedy than her shows about deeper family issues.
While she may seem like she can handle anything with a caustic joke, Gomez isn't fond of the rules and, like most artists, she avoids writing material at any cost--cleaning her apartment, rearranging her CDs, even tweezing her eyebrows to put off the dreaded deadline just a little bit longer. But performing--well, that's another story.
On Saturday, Marga Gomez will be punctual and eagerly awaiting her Santa Cruz audience. Tickets for the 8pm show at UCSC cost $15/$12/$7.50. For more info, call 459-2159.
The folks at MAH begin a silent journey on Friday night, when they kick off Silent Screen Classics: Silent Films of the 1920s, a series revisiting some of the best silents the early decade had to offer. The first film on the docket is G.W. Pabst's 1928 classic Pandora's Box, starring Louise Brooks in her most famous role as Lulu, seductress extraordinaire.
The series is curated by UCSC film and video professor Shelley Stamp Lindsey, who will provide a brief insider's peek at the movie.
Future screenings will be held each month and will include The Phantom of the Opera and Metropolis.
All films will be screened at MAH, 705 Front St., SC, and begin at 7pm. Tickets cost $5/$4. For more info, call 429-1964. Oh--and the whole thing is presented by Metro Santa Cruz.
