Get on your bike 'n' ride - Perthshire woman writes book about biking across North America
Lynn hopes book will inspire other women
by Rachel Clark, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/rachel-clark/A Perthshire woman is hoping to encourage others to follow their dreams, after motorcycling across North America.
Lynn Aitken (58) from Almondbank only got her motorcycle licence at the age of 49, and wanted to go on an epic adventure.
In two parts, Lynn and her husband Mike took on the trip of a lifetime by traversing from Mexico, travelling through the US and Canada, and finishing up in Alaska.
She said: “I only got my motorbike licence at 49.
“My husband and I were on holiday in Canada and we saw a signpost for the scenic route to Alaska and we both said ‘one day we will have to go down that road’.
“It took a couple of years of planning and saving up, but in 2016 we headed out to Mexico.
“When it came to saying goodbye to my kids, that was the biggest step for me to leave my family.
“It was not just a two week all-inclusive vacation, we were literally riding off and taking on this big challenge.
“It was a bit of a journey of discovery for me.
“At first I was absolutely terrified and when we landed I went straight to the departures board to try and go back home.
“I still don’t know why I did it.”
The pair travelled all the way to Canada, and had almost made it into Alaska when disaster struck back home.
Due to a family crisis back in Perthshire, they had to cut their journey short - but they were determined to finish the challenge, and last year went out and completed the leg of Alaska.
Lynn said: “When we were on our first trip, we got about 20 miles short of Alaska and we had to turn around and come back home.
“We headed down to Vancouver as quickly as we could.
“I knew we needed to finish the journey, so we went about saving up to get back out there again.
“It was niggling at me, I had to finish what we started.
“All in all it took about six months to do.”
She continued: “My favourite bit was meeting all the incredible people along the way.
“They were all so friendly and we have made lifelong friends, we met some of the most amazing people.
“We tried to do mostly camping, but when we started the first leg it was early in the season and a lot of the campsites weren’t open yet, so we stayed in budget hotels as well.
“The second part last year was completely camping.
“The wildlife was amazing as well.
“In all the places we’ve travelled to, you can’t beat Scotland for scenery, but the wildlife in America was amazing.
“We saw bears, moose and there was a lone wolf watching us at one point.
“We went whale watching in a protected area as well and the whales brought their babies up to the boat to show everyone.
“This was in their birthing area, so only small boats were allowed to approach the whales.
“I ended up covered in whale snot, but I didn’t care.”
Since finishing her epic adventure, Lynn has written and published a book on her trip called ‘Long Roads and Lipstick’.
She hopes she can encourage other women to follow their dreams and take a leap into the unknown while they still can.
Lynn explained: “There are not many books written by women, particularly women of my age, on motorcycling.
“It started off just as a thought.
“All along the way I wrote notes most days and then I thought ‘you know what, I will write a book’.
“Everyone knows me for always having lipstick on - if I have my lipstick on, I am ready for it all.
“Other women who write these kinds of books don’t talk about their family, but I am just a normal woman with a family and I want to inspire other people.
“The book is the story of what happened, but also hints and tips on what we found out along the way.
“Anyone can do something like this, but the hardest step is the first step, just going out there and doing it.
“Whatever your dream is, follow it.
“Before I went out there, my husband had loads of books to read.
“I started to read one woman’s book as well and it was a good book, but the woman who wrote it was very gung-ho and ‘I can do this’ whereas I was a bit hesitant.
“I would have loved to have read this book before I went out.
“There are sad bits in it, but funny bits as well that will have people laughing out loud.”
She added: “At first I couldn’t get it published so I have done it myself.
“My daughter said it is perfectly imperfect and now my story is out there.
“The book is now out on Amazon for £8.99 or on Kindle for £2.99.”
Lynn and her husband are now planning to do another trip, and are hoping to go east and motorcycle to Russia.


When trying to run buildtemplateparallel.sh, I ran into several problems. Here are a list of changes I had to make. Here’s my code to run buildtemplateparallel.sh:
Problem 1
There was not a qscript variable after the elif
command on line 1237.
Problem 2
Next issue was the lack of specifying the amount of memory required for the sbatch submission. The FSL supercomputer requires memory listed, --mem-per-cpu=32768M
. Here’s how I fixed the code on line 1242 (previously 1241 before fixing Problem #1).
Problem 3
The latest version of N4BiasFieldCorrection
was giving errors and aborting script. I was able to copy the script from the pre-complied code:
Here’s the end result of using the 20 SOBIK participants. Goosebumps!

Resonance structures are localized representations of the electronic structure of a molecule depicted using Lewis Structures, such that the true structure of the molecule is some weighted average of the localized representations (read more about resonance).
RMG generates resonance structures using templates in a restricted electronic structure search space defined by atom types. These resonance structures are subsequently filtered to identify representative structures which are used to generate reactions.

Skander Jabouzi<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Today Android development is made easy thanks to Android Studio (powerful set of tools), a customized IDE, based on IntelliJ.
In this section we will learn:
https://developer.android.com/studio/#downloads
Check the checkbox at the bottom of the screen if you agree to the terms and then Click the Download Android Studio button.
The goal in this secrtion is getting your app running as quickly as possible on a device. We will go into more details in the next slides.
We need to setup the Android SDK first, open
Select the second tab for the SDK tools
On the welcome screen, click Start a new Android Studio project:
Android supports a variety of devices: phones, watches, cars and even refrigerators! If you want to configure a new app to run on these devices, this is the screen to do it. This window provides also, a variety of preset projects you can choose from to set up the foundation of your app. Each choice provides your starter project with different code and resources generated by Android Studio. The Empty Activity is already selected for you by Android Studio, which is exactly what you want. Don’t worry about what an Activity is right now; all will be revealed soon. Go to the bottom of the window and press the Next button.
Android Studio has set a minimum Android version for the app in the dropdown box (next image). your app will be required to run on an API. So click
the dropdown to discover the available APIs. You can click on "Help me choose" to have a detailed information. You can keep the default one. This final window is dedicated also
to setting up your empty Activity — in particular, giving it a name.
More details on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
Note: The "gathering" phase may take a while, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
When that process finishes, Android Studio will show you your created project, with the MainActivity.java and activity_main.xml files already open for you.
With your project created, you are now free to work on your project as you please. Android Studio is a large and complex piece of software and, if you dive in without a good map, you may find yourself lost! Before you start to build you app, take a look at what Android Studio has to offer as part of your app development experience.
Before you start to build you app, take a look at what Android Studio has to offer as part of your app development experience.
1. The right window is the Editor.
This window provides you with space to edit your app’s source code. It provides
syntax highlighting, auto completion for methods and objects as well as the ability
to drop breakpoints into your code while debugging. You’ll learn more about
breakpoints and debugging in "Chapter 4: Debugging." You’ll spend most of your
development time using the Editor to code your app to work exactly the way you
intend.
2. The left window is the Project
navigator, to the left of the Editor.
This window shows you everything your project contains; from code to image
assets, you can find it here. Android Studio already provides you with a lot to begin
with. You can see this by left-clicking on the arrow to the left of the items in the
Project navigator.
Don’t worry about these files for now. You’ll become well-acquainted with them in
the chapters to come.
Looking at editors and files is great, but after you’re done writing code, you’ll likely want to run your app. But before you can run your app, you need a device — real or virtual — on which to run it! Take a look at the button highlighted.
This button allows you to create an Android Virtual Device, or AVD for short. This is
an emulator that pretends to be a device on your computer, which lets you test your app
without requiring a physical device. If you don’t have a physical device to test your app
with, you’ll need to create a virtual device before you can run your app.
Click the Android Virtual Device button, and a new window will appear.
This window shows all the available AVDs that exist on your machine. Since you’ve just installed Android Studio, no AVDs will be available yet.
Click the Create Virtual Device button in the middle of the screen and the Select Hardware window. This window allows you to select what kind of device you want your AVD to emulate.
After you select x86 images tab, we will be using the default options for the following screens.
This window gives you the opportunity to give your AVD a name and to confirm other aspects of the device such as the Android version. You don’t need to do anything here, so Click Finish at the bottom-right of the screen to create your AVD.
The current window will disappear. In the original AVD window that listed all available AVDs, you’ll see your freshly created AVD ready for use:.
One of the joys of Android development is having your app working on your own device
to show to your friends. But before you can install your app onto your device, you
need to get your device up for use with Android Studio. The first thing to do is to
connect your Android device to your machine via a USB cable.
Note: If you’re using a Windows machine, you’ll need to download a USB driver
for your device first. You can download the driver and find instructions on
installing it at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html.
On your device, open the Settings app.
Scroll through the settings until you find the About Phone button and tap it.
Note: If your device is running Android 8.0 (Oreo) or above, you need to tap System first to find the About Phone section.
Now for the magical part! Scroll to the bottom of the About Phone screen, until the build number item appears.
When you see the build number item, tap it several times until you see a toast message appear, informing you are a few steps away from being a developer. Keep tapping away until you get another toast message telling you that you’ve become a developer.
Tap the Back button to go to the previous Settings page.
A new item has appeared called Developer Options! Tap the option to check out all the developer features available to you.
There’s a lot, here, but there is only one option you need right now: USB Debugging. Scroll down to the option and toggle it on. A dialog will appear informing you of the intended usage of USB debugging.
Granting USB debugging privileges is a potential security hole, so most devices have this turned off by default. Since you will need to install apps over USB as a developer, you need to turn this on. When you are ready, tap OK and the USB Debugging toggle will enable. Your device is now set up for development!
At the top of Android studio, select a device from the dropdown list
Click the button at the top of Android studio that looks like a green Play button.
Android Studio will build your app then will install it on the selected device.
When Android Studio finishes, Your app will appear on your device.
You’ve just built your very first Android App! before we finish let’s make it a little more personal. Back to Android Studio, if it's not already open, open activity_main.xml file
located at: in the project navigator open app ‣ res ‣ layout ‣ activity_main.xml.
Locate "Hello World!" and changed with "Hello Your name!".
Rerun the app. If the app is still running on the device, the green play button will change to circular one.
Layouts are incredibly flexible and let you define how your user interface is presented on the device to the user. You can create layouts in one of two ways:
You will define your layouts in XML. This is because Android Studio has a powerful Layout editor that covers 90% of the cases you’ll ever need when creating a user interface.
Open the activity_main.xml layout file
At the bottom of the file there's two tab buttons: Design and Text
The design tab displays the Visual Editor! In design mode, the middle of Android Studio will show a
few different screens.
The first screen of interest is the preview area in the middle, next to what looks like a
blueprint. This is where you’ll begin to build your user interface.
In the top left of the middle section of Android Studio, you’ll see the Palette.This contains all the built-in user interface components you can use to build the
screens of your Android app.
What’s even more useful is that you can drag and drop from this palette straight into
the preview screen to add a component. Finally at the bottom it's the Component Tree where you have the layout hierarchy
The Text tab displays the Visual Editor! in Text Mode, you’ll find the Text Editor. This shows the XML representation of the first screen of your app. You can create your interface here if you like — but using the Design tab is much more visual.
LinearLayout is a ViewGroup that arranges all layout elements next to each other – element by element. They could be set horizontally (into columns) or vertically (into rows).
Positioning your using with Linear Layout with live examples
RelativeLayout is a ViewGroup which is used to specify the position of child View instances relative to each other (Child A to the left of Child B) or relative to the parent (Aligned to the top of parent).
Positioning your using with Relative Layout with one live example
The ConstraintLayout is a powerful new class. It allows you to lay out child views using "constraints" to define position based relationships between different views found in your layout. The aim of the ConstraintLayout is to help reduce the number of nested views, which will improve the performance of your layout files. The layout class also makes it easier for you to define layouts than when using a RelativeLayout as you can now anchor any side of a view with any side of another, rather than having to place a whole view to any side of another.
Positioning your using with Constraint Layout with live examples
Android apps are exactly the same — they’re built around a set of screens that have a specific purpose. Each screen you see in an app is known as an Activity. An Activity is built around a single task that you want your user to perform. For instance, in most apps you have a settings screen to adjust the settings of the app. There is a sign-in screen where you login using your username and password, and many other screens that have specific purposes. From now you’ll begin putting together an Activity and you’ll finally get to lay down some code!
From now it will be less slides and more live coding and demos.
Programming a simple calculator app.
All apps have bugs at some point in their lifetime. Some will be subtle, such as oddities within the UI, while others will be obvious, such as outright crashes. As a developer, you need to avoid bugs in your app at all costs to make sure your users are happy as can be. Android and Android Studio provide developers with a number of tools to help you track down and fix bugs with relative ease.
How to debug your app using Android Studio’s debug tools.
Having an app that looks visually appealing and can surprise the user in gentle ways is one that will stick out when compared to similar apps. While it’s not integral to the functionality of your app, it shows that you care about your app and gives its own look.
Animations give visual emphasis to elements and help you direct the user’s attention. When it comes to animation, the most important rule is to use it where and when it matters — not simply because you can.
Think of a Dialog as a way to provide a snippet of information your users need, without being taken away from the main content on your screen. They come in all shapes and sizes.

This function is used in conjunction with GUI.GetX, GUI.GetY and GUI.GetWidth to determine the bounds of a widget. The entire widget should always fit in the box (GUI.GetX, GUI.GetY) - (GUI.GetX + GUI.GetWidth 1, GUI.GetY + GUI.GetHeight 1)
The position and size of a widget is known only after it has been drawn to the screen. Attempting to get the location or dimesions of the widget may cause an uninitialized variable error.
import GUI in "%oot/lib/GUI"
procedure BoxWidget (widgetID : int)
var x, y, width, height : int
x := GUI.GetX (widgetID)
y := GUI.GetY (widgetID)
width := GUI.GetWidth (widgetID)
height := GUI.GetHeight (widgetID)
Draw.Box (x 1, x 1, x + width, y + height, red)
Draw.Box (x 2, x 2, x + width + 1, y + height + 1, red)
end BoxWidget
var title : int := GUI.CreateLabel (20, 20, "Frame This!")
BoxWidget (title)
This means that you can only call the function by calling GUI.GetHeight, not by calling GetHeight.

Emery the ‘right man’ for Arsenal, say club’s hierarchy
by Staff ReporterLONDON – Unai Emery has been offered the public backing of the Arsenal hierarchy – but he has been warned that results must improve.
The Arsenal head coach has come under mounting pressure following a string of poor performances and a record of just two wins from their last 10 Premier League games.
Raul Sanllehi, head of football, and Vinai Venkatesham, managing director, met more than 200 Arsenal colleagues from across the club on Monday in a pre-planned staff meeting as part of an on-going series of internal staff events.
“We are as disappointed as everyone else with both our results and performances at this stage of the season,” they told Arsenal staff.
“We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect. Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season, and we firmly believe Unai is the right man for the job, together with the backroom team we have in place.”
Sanllehi and Venkatesham added: “We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will.
“We never take our fantastic support for granted. We hope we can all stick together and get behind the team in this challenging period, as together we are stronger.” – Sky Sports

Welcome to AKJ Group of Institution Since 1993
The college was founded in 1882 by the Fathers of the French Foreign Mission. The need for instituting a College of this magnitude in Bangalore was felt by the catholic Missionaries and it was the vicar apostolic of the coramandel coast, the Rev. Dr. Bonnand, who propounded the idea, in 1841, in a letter to Rev. Fr. Bertrand. Complying with the order, the Foreign Missions Society of Paris bought a plot of land on St. John's Hill and gradually made the transition to the location it occupies today

From the Principal’s Desk
In 1881, an 18 year old teenager, not unlike yourself, presented himself before the spiritual guru, Sri Ramakrishna, at a temple in Dakshineshwar and asked him profound questions on the nature of existence. This interaction would later be known as the beginning of the making of the man who would go on to be known around the world as Swami Vivekananda. This anecdote shows that it is never too early to consider the most important questions a person can face, it is never too early to ask what small change you can bring to this world and even if you haven’t thought of it until now, it is never too late to begin. At the core of his belief system was a deep and abiding trust in the true nature of human beings who would act as ethical beings because it was the right thing to do.
Each and every one of you will one day have to ascribe a meaning to your life. As Swami Vivekananda said, “Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.”

We offer asset finance that is tailored for whatever your business needs might be, covering new and used moveable assets.
You can use asset finance for the purchase of equipment and machines(identified by serial numbers) that are important in the day to day running of your business. When you apply for this option you can rest assured that your business will function optimally, having all the equipment and machinery required without impacting your bank balance. You also have the option to lease or rent the asset if this would better suit your business need and/or budget
The repayment term (i.e. how long you have to finish paying the loan)is either 60 months or the amount of time the asset is deemed to be economical. Important to note, AIDC can use your acquired asset as security for the loan
This is a loan or financing for a business to fund its day to day operations providing for items such as stock and operating overheads.
If you run a business that transacts or have contracts with other businesses and require immediate funding for these operations, this is the option for you. The repayment term of the loan is equal to the duration of the contract you have, up to a period of 12 months.
This is an option where the entity borrowing can use the funds as and when needed. This is suited for businesses with contracts of predefined monetary value and lifespan or term. The loan is used mainly for day to day operations of the business, with varying amounts loaned as is needed by the customer on a month to month basis.
Due to the nature of the loan,this option is only offerred or available to business with a proven track record and credit history. The loan is repayable for a duration of 12 months or for the contract term.
This type of loan can be used by businesses to get different forms of moveable assets. This is slightly different from asset finance as with this option you can buy moveable assets such as office supplies and furniture that cannot be identified by serial numbers.
The repayment term for this type of loan is between 12 and 60 months.

A GPS Network is a high-precision global navigation satellite system (GNSS) providing real-time corrections and data for post processing. A GNSS network consists of permanently located GPS receivers, installed across an area, that generate real-time, high-accuracy GPS positioning. Basically, all of the permanently installed GPS receivers send their data to a central system via the internet. This central system analyzes the input and adjusts and corrects the data to provide the most accurate locations, usually down to centimeter level. Our networks use the Trimble PIVOT VRS Platform. The generated data is sent from the GPS receiver to the GPS reference network through a wireless connection using the Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP).
Any person or company that wants or requires precision GPS information should be using a GPS network. Surveyors, construction crews, field mapping technicians, and GPS-controlled machinery are able to operate with up-to sub-centimeter precise measurement by connecting their existing GPS receivers to the GPS Network correction service over a smart phone hotspot.
A reference network eliminates the need for a reference (base) station. As base stations and consumer devices require funding and staffing, using a reference network reduces your costs for quality GPS readings. Reference networks also minimize ionospheric errors for rovers in the network coverage and improve efficiency and productivity in your surveys.
Currently, UGRC is maintaining two separate networks:

I’ve had my Fender Stratocaster for many years and it’s done me well - it was the first electric guitar I bought and I’ve barely tampered with it, aside from replacing the strings every few months. I didn’t see the need. It’s a great guitar. Next-level Mexican craftsmanship.
But it looked a little drab. It has an Arctic White finish, so with its maple neck and white pickguard, it all looked rather devoid of colour contrast.  Here’s a picture of it before, with me using it during a Christmas bash:
First step was to take off the old plate. Unlike like Jazz Bass when I took off the cover for a look underneath, the Strat bares all, revealing just how simple they are inside - just a few rustic components wired together. Well, it was designed in the 50s, and the design has done them well so far!
I made sure to keep a close eye on all the screws I removed, since there were quite a few. 11 for the outer rim, 2 for the switch, 6 for the pickups, 3 nuts for the knobs. Below shows my outstanding screw-separating skills, and the stripped guitar covered with a towel at that point to stop the dust from getting in to the components (or rather, to save its dignity!)
Then it was time to get rid of the towel and add the new pickguard, which thankfully matched up to the same dimensions as the old one (one would hope so, but you can’t be too sure with internet parts!). It was a fiddly procedure connecting all the parts back to the pickguard (which seems to be the anchor point for all the electronics inside), but due to the lack of tension in the wires, I was able to lift the guard up from different angles as I connected things to maintain clear access.
After a few minutes of hardcore screwing (har-de-har), all the parts were in place and fixed to the board, with the knobs and switchheads reattached also. No real difficulties here, except for adjusting the height of the pickups by tightening the screws (which compressed a rubber dampener the more it was turned, raising the pickup).
Looking better already, but the sound had room for improvement on accounts as it had no strings…
Done! A nice change to the old guitar. While the only changes are superficial, it’s amazing how much difference a clean and a polish and a new set of strings can make to an instrument - it feels like new (though not too new, it has those slightly “worn in” qualities). And it only cost me a tenner. Fond memories are restored of when I first bought it, with a super-smooth neck and ringing sustain, and that penetrating Strat-esque “quack”.
The question is, what more can be done to it? Answer - endless things, I just don’t have the wallet for it. I could replace the pickups with superior single-coils, or I could replace one of them with a humbucker for a thicker sound - changing the sound entirely. I could literally replace anything on it with something better than the stock component, but at the end of the day, if you’re going to do that, just buy a new guitar. There’s tinkering with the look to make it more unique, and then there’s being an anorak. For me, it sounds spot on.

Chapter 11 - oracles example
Oracles CC is an example where it ended up being simpler than I first expected, but at the same time a lot more powerful. It is one of the smaller CC, but it enables creation of an arbitrary number of data markets, in a performant way.
In order to gain the performance, some clever usage of special addresses was needed. It was a bit tricky to generate a special address to keep track of the latest data.
Let's back up to the beginning. Just what is an oracle? In this context it is something that puts data that is not on the blockchain, onto the blockchain. Since everything other than the transactions and blocks are not in the blockchain, there is a very large universe of data that can be oracle-ized. It can be literally anything, from the obvious like prices to specific results relative to an arbitrary description.
The most difficult issue about oracles is that they need to be trusted to various degree to provide accurate and timely data. The danger is that if a trusted node is used to write data to the blockchain, it creates a trust point and a single point of attack. Ultimately there is nothing that can ensure only valid data is written to the blockchain, so what is done is to reinforce good behavior via pay per datapoint. However, for critical data, higher level processing is needed that combines multiple data providers into a validated signal.
At the oracles CC level, it is enough that there is financial incentive to provide good data. Also it is needed to allow multiple vendors for each data that is required and to enable efficient ways to update and query the data.
The following are the rpc calls:
oraclescreate name description format
oracleslist
oraclesinfo oracletxid
oraclesregister oracletxid datafee
oraclessubscribe oracletxid publisher amount
oraclesdata oracletxid hexstr
oraclessamples oracletxid batonutxo num
The first step is to create a specific data description with oraclescreate, which also defines the format of the binary data. This creates an oracletxid, which is used in the other rpc calls. name and description are just arbitrary strings, with name preferably being a short name used to access the data. The format is a string comprised of a single character per data element:
's' -> <256 char string
'S' -> <65536 char string
'd' -> <256 binary data
'D' -> <65536 binary data
'c' -> 1 byte signed little endian number, 'C' unsigned
't' -> 2 byte signed little endian number, 'T' unsigned
'i' -> 4 byte signed little endian number, 'I' unsigned
'l' -> 8 byte signed little endian number, 'L' unsigned
'h' -> 32 byte hash
For example, if the datapoint is comprised of a 4byte timestamp and an 8byte number the format string would be: "IL"
oracleslist displays a list of all the oraclestxid and oraclesinfo displays information about the specific oracletxid. Each oracletxid deterministically generates a marker address and a small amount is sent to that address to mark a transaction's relation to the oracltxid.

"lifetime": "1.50000000",
"funds": "0.01000000",
"datafee": "0.01000000"
}
]
}
A data publisher needs to register a datafee and their pubkey for a specific oracletxid. datafee needs to be at least as big as a txfee. Using oraclesregister the current datafee can be updated so a publisher can adapt to market conditions. Once registered, subscribers can prepay for some number of datapoints to a specific publisher using the oraclessubscribe rpc. At first, it is likely that the publisher would pay themselves to enable the posting of initial data points so the potential subscribers can evaluate the quality and consistency of the data.
The one final rpc is oraclessamples, which returns the most recent samples of data from a specific publisher. In order to have a performant solution to track all the potential data streams from all the publishers for all the oracletxid, a baton utxo is used. This is an output sent to a specific address and expected to have just a single utxo at any given time to allow for direct lookup. oraclessamples requires a starting txid to use and with each datapoint having the prior batontxid, there is a reverse linked list to traverse the most recent data.
In order to implement this, the following vin/vout contraints are used:
create:
vins.: normal inputs
vout.0: txfee tag to oracle normal address
vout.1: change, if any
vout.n-1: opreturn with name and description and format for data
register:
vins.: normal inputs
vout.0: txfee tag to normal marker address
vout.1: baton CC utxo
vout.2: change, if any
vout.n-1: opreturn with oracletxid, pubkey and price per data point
subscribe:
vins.*: normal inputs
vout.0: subscription fee to publishers CC address
vout.1: change, if any
vout.n-1: opreturn with oracletxid, registered provider's pubkey, amount
data:
vin.0: normal input
vin.1: baton CC utxo (most of the time)
vin.2+: subscription or data vout.0
vout.0: change to publishers CC address
vout.1: baton CC utxo
vout.2: payment for dataprovider
vout.3: change, if any
vout.n-1: opreturn with oracletxid, prevbatontxid and data in proper format
The oraclesdata transaction is the most complex as it needs to find and spend the baton utxo, use the correct datafee and spend funds from the locked subscription funds. With the above, the oracles CC is complete and allows the creations of massively parallel data streams from multiple vendors that uses free market feedback via payments, ie. poorly performing providers wont get renewals.
I expect that at first, the data providers will just be dapp developers deploying a working system including the required data, but its structure allows open market competition. Of course, specific dapps could restrict themselves to using only publishers from a whitelist of pubkeys. The potential usecases for oracles CC is quite varied and limited only by the imagination.


Face/Off (1997)
A movie review by Michael J. Legeros Copyright 1997 by Michael J. Legeros
(Paramount) Directed by John Woo Written by Mike Werb and Michael Colleary Cast John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, Joan Allen, Gina Gershon, Alessandro Nivola, Dominique Swain, Nick Cassavetes, Harve Presnell, Colm Feore, Margaret Cho MPAA Rating "R" (presumably for violence and language) Running Time 140 minutes Reviewed at Carmike 7 Cinemas, Raleigh, NC (27JUN97)
==
Dis/appointing. The talkiest thrill-ride of the summer stars John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, as two guys who swap faces. Literally. Cage plays a terrorist and Travolta plays a terrorist tracker and each ends up with the other's face, and identity, through a series of events that writers Mike Werb and Michael Colleary, along with director John Woo (BROKEN ARROW, HARD TARGET), take great pains to make believable. They explain the entire medical process and how the facial skin is re- moved and what's done about scars, hair lines, and body fat. Surpris- ingly, this premise-- set in the near-future, if that helps-- is one of the more *plausible* components of the movie. It's so utterly over-the- top that it blends perfectly with the accompanying action, Action a la Woo, a gracefully choreographed carnival of all things flinging, flying, shooting, and exploding. What's much more *difficult* to believe are the smaller, subsequent story details, ranging from the circumstances surrounding a character's heart attack to a wife who fails to notice a scar that her husband no longer has. (Not to mention other physical differences that are never, ah, expanded upon!)
Those only familiar with the John Woo of BROKEN ARROW are in for a treat, as the world-renowned director is almost back to his old self. I say, I say, *almost*. He's returned to the world of Grand Guignol, but without enough lighting! Three, maybe, four sequences are damn diffi- cult to follow, shot for shot. (From what I recall of his more-recent HARD TARGET and HARD BOILED, the photography was much... cleaner.) Worse, there isn't *enough* action to keep these pulpy characters in- teresting. (At least an hour passes without any gun battles, which is a l-o-n-g time to spend with Cage's good guy, all stooped shoulders and stupored stares.) That said, there's still enough here to satisfy most moviegoers. The surgery sequence is an armrest gripper. The body count is refreshingly high. Travolta is wicked fun playing Cage's character playing Travolta's. Olivia Newton-John sings "Over the Rainbow." And two late sequences-- a Mexican standoff in a church (complete with flut- tering white doves) and a high-speed powerboat chase (is there any other kind?)-- bring everything home. For those fast, furious, fleeting moments, it's why we go to the movies. (Rated "R"/140 min.)

This entry is part 11 of a 12-part series on WPF 3D.
I've said it before and I'll say it again now: It's just incredibly cool that WPF's integration of 3D is so thorough that printing is supported.
Hardware accelerated 3D graphics APIs (like OpenGL and Direct3D) are all about screens, not paper. If you're building a 3D graphics app, these APIs are great. They not only make things a bit easier, but they offer a big performance boost as well. But then if you want your app to be able to print, the API disappears and you're left all alone.
In contrast, WPF makes this relatively simple. Printing a Viewport3D in WPF looks like this:
PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
if ((bool)dlg.ShowDialog().GetValueOrDefault())
{
dlg.PrintVisual(myViewport3D, "Sawdust");
}
Five lines. Were it not for my pathological need to use braces on every if statement, it would be three lines.
As cool as it is to be able to print so easily, the code above is rather simplistic. Most applications will want to offer their users more.
My current printing code for Sawdust is focused on XPS, which is printer-friendly document file format, conceptually similar to PDF. After constructing an XPS file, I can spool it to the printer or save it to disk so the user may view, print or archive it like a PDF file. More people use PDF, but for a WPF 3D app, XPS is much easier to generate. Start by creating a FixedDocument.
In the August 2007 issue of MSDN Magazine, Markus Egger has a nice overview of WPF's FlowDocument class. FlowDocument is designed for viewing document-oriented content on a screen. Its sister class is FixedDocument, which is designed for putting document-oriented content on paper.
As you might expect, a FixedDocument is simply a collection of pages:
public static
void CreateFixedDocument()
{
FixedDocument doc = new FixedDocument();
doc.DocumentPaginator.PageSize = new Size(96 * 8.5, 96 * 11);
foreach (page that I want)
{
PageContent page = new PageContent();
FixedPage fixedPage =
CreateOneFixedPage();
((IAddChild)page).AddChild(fixedPage);
doc.Pages.Add(page);
}
return doc;
}
The IAddChild cast is rather funky. Microsoft's own sample code shows this technique, but their documentation for IAddChild says: "This member supports the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0 infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code." Hmmph.
The real work of creating aFixedDocument is in creating each page.  To layout your page, you simply add a bunch of things to it, each with a specific size and position.
First, create a FixedPage:
FixedPage page = new FixedPage();
page.Background = Brushes.White;
page.Width = 96 * 8.5;
page.Height = 96 * 11;
Now let's add a big title at the top of the page:
TextBlock tbTitle = new TextBlock();
tbTitle.Text = "My Page Title";
tbTitle.FontSize = 24;
tbTitle.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial");
FixedPage.SetLeft(tbTitle, 96 * 0.75); // left margin
FixedPage.SetTop(tbTitle, 96 * 0.75); // top margin
page.Children.Add((UIElement)tbTitle);
Now we add our Viewport3D to the page. We want it to be 2 inches from the top of the sheet and 2 inches from the left side. We'll assume we have already prepared a Viewport3D which is the proper size to fit. I think I'll draw a thin black border around it as well.
Border b = new Border();
b.BorderThickness = new Thickness(1);
b.BorderBrush = Brushes.Black;
b.Child = myViewport3D;
FixedPage.SetLeft(b, 96 * 2);
FixedPage.SetTop(b, 96 * 2);
page.Children.Add((UIElement)b);
Once you've constructed all the elements on your page, you need to call Measure(), Arrange() and UpdateLayout() to get it ready for drawing:
Size sz = new Size(96 * 8.5, 96
* 11);
page.Measure(sz);
page.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(), sz));
page.UpdateLayout();
Once we have constructed a FixedDocument object in memory, what do we do with it? Writing it out to an XPS file is pretty simple:
FixedDocument doc =
CreateFixedDocument();
XpsDocument xpsd = new
XpsDocument(filename, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
XpsDocumentWriter xw = XpsDocument.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(xpsd);
xw.Write(doc);
xpsd.Close();
For viewing XPS files, I recommend you download the XPS Essentials Pack from Microsoft. It contains a nice viewer application.
For WPF applications, XPS is the way to implement any serious printing capabilities. I'm no expert with XPS yet, but so far I'm quite pleased with the results I'm getting.


LAST DANCE (DONG) (THE HOLE) (director/writer: Tsai Ming-Liang; screenwriter: Yang Ping-ying; cinematographer: Liao Peng-Jung; editor: Hsiao Ju-kuan; cast: Lee Kang-Sheng (The Man Upstairs), Yang Kuei-Mei (The Woman Downstairs), Lin Hui-Chu (Neighbor), Tong Hsiang-chu (The Plumber); Runtime: 70; La Sept Arte; 1998-Taiwan / France)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A minimal story that is too thin for a feature film. It is about urban deterioration and alienation in Taiwan as seen just seven days before 2000 and leading up to the 'new millennium.' A nameless, boyish appearing young man, dressed most of the time in his underwear, who runs a vegetable market, Lee Kang-Sheng, lives in a dingy building that has bad plumbing and lots of leaks. He lives above Yang Kuei-Mei, the nameless woman, who is upset that there is a hole in her ceiling. It is one that a plumber made and never returned to repair. The upstairs neighbor now looks down at her as she prances around in her black slip and he leeringly watches as her discomfort grows as conditions worsen. We even get to watch her pee while she's on the cell phone. The hole will become their means of getting to know each other, for better or worse, as he comically tries to communicate with her by placing a black umbrella in the hole.
A radio report mentions that the city water is contaminated and the water supply will be cut off by the end of the week in the quarantined sections. There's also a citywide garbage strike and a constant downpour outside. To make matters even worst, there is a deadly Taiwan virus going around caused by the cockroach. It makes one act like a bug, crawling on all fours and so on, as the victim first shows flu-like symptoms. These two tenants are living in the quarantined part of the city because of the virus emergency and their only solace might be in getting to know each other and offering comfort to one another, an opportunity afforded by the hole, as their physical barrier that separates them is removed.
At the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, this Taiwanese-French drama won a Fipresci Award, given by international critics. What I liked best about it were the half dozen musical numbers sung by Grace Chang, as the two tenants lip-synch and dance along to the tunes. The film would be interrupted by the fantasy scenes, where the dressed-up protagonists would go into their lively cabaret-like song and dance routine.
This film was initiated as part of the French TV series of one-hour end-of-millennium dramas. Its appeal will probably be most appreciated by the music lovers of those old Hong Kong films (Grace Chang was a popular singer in the China of the 1950s), and those admirers of French directors Rivette and Demy, whose musicals are also followed by strange stories and a dead-pan humor. It also should appeal to those who want to see the unusual, and their reward might be that this is a film that makes them think they have something to think about. For me, nothing much happened in this intriguing Kafka-like idea for a film to rise above its leaky promises. It needed more of a story and protagonists with more personality, in order for it to feel more alive.

It's taken me a few days to come to terms with the fact that Matt Murton is no longer a member of the Chicago Cubs. Although I knew it was going to happen, I didn't expect it to happen this early in July. It's hard to put your feelings into words when things like this happen. Even though my favorite Cub is no more, I can say that there are some positives that come out of this trade.
First of all, I think Matt Murton would be of value to teams. I think he would start on a lot of Major League clubs, but there just wasn't a whole lot of room in the Cubs outfield for him. This is Murton's 4th season of bouncing between Iowa and Chicago. I'm sure he could tell me some great places to eat along Interstate 80. This move is probably good for Matt's career. After looking at the A's outfield, I'm assuming he'll get more playing time with them.
Another great thing about this trade is that the Cubs organization is finally Patterson free! I challenge anyone to convince me that the Cubs are not better off without a Patterson on the roster.
So we knew it was coming. There was no avoiding it and now it's over. I see nothing negative about this trade. In all honesty, Murton and Patterson offered no more than any other Triple A outfielder could provide. I think Gallagher has a bright future. But the Cubs are closer now than they ever have been and they need to put all their eggs in one basket. Live in the now, Cubs fans. But Harden will be with the Cubs next year and Sabathia will, most likely, not be in Milwaukee. I admire their effort, but I think the Brewers come up short in the present and the future. If Harden can stay healthy, I think he has drastically improved the Cubs playoff pitching situation.
I don't pay a whole lot of attention to the American League outside of Sportscenter, so I really don't know much about Harden. I guess the key is for him to stay healthy. I look forward to many jokes about his name. I'm assuming Rich is short for Richard. I would say about half of the times I've heard people say his name, I have heard the word "Retarded" instead of Rich Harden.
But I think Hendry has made a good move. I like most of the moves that Hendry makes this time of year. Who could forget the trade with the Pirates in 2003 that brought the Cubs Aramis Ramirez, Randall Simon and Kenny Lofton for Jose Hernandez? In my opinion, that trade clinched the division for the Cubs. So I trust Hendry and I currently don't see anything wrong with this trade.
I now face the challenge of picking a new favorite Cubs player. I'm leaning towards Derosa or Theriot. This isn't a decision I can just jump into, though. Do you, the average Ivy Envy reader, have any advice for me in this? I am not drawn to players that are flashy or even popular. I won't consider Ramirez or Soriano. However, my pro-Ramirez post is coming. Expect it over the All-Star break. This is a big step for me.
Matt Murton, I will miss your swinging bunts and awkward feet-first slides at the ball in Left Field. Keep your chin up and we'll see you down the road, my friend.

(SF15) Questions of reasoning under logical uncertainty

Knowing how the system behaves but not the result, because of lack of computational resources.
Standard probability theory assumes logical omniscience.
What are logically impossible possibilities? (Things that are logically incorrect, but kept as a possibility because you don’t have the computational power to see they’re incorrect.) Reasonable prior?
Consider truth values of sentences of logic.
Must preserve some structure: Ex. if probability 1 for \(\phi,\phi\implies \psi\), then probability 1 for \(\psi\).
2 types of logical uncertainty
Complete logical theory: for every sentence \(\phi\), either \(\phi\in T\) or \(\neg \phi\in T\).
Incomplete theories can be completed. (Use Zorn.)
(In what sense is there a “true arithmetic”? In the sense that you believe there is a true answer of whether a Turing machine halts!)1
For a deductively unlimited reasoner, an impossible possibiity is any complete theory of logic.
Deductively limited reasoners entertain inconsistent impossible possibilities.
An “impossible possibility,” then, could be any assignment of truth values to logical sentences which does not allow a short proof of inconsistency.
No precise statements about its performance have yet been proven.
How to construct a weak (e.g. maximum entropy) prior over complete theories? (It’s easy to place 0 probability on complete theories.)
Hutter prior: For each sentence, select a model in which that sentence is true, and in which certain desirable properties hold (the “Gaifman condition” and the “Cournot condition” (Hutter et al. 2013)). Add the complete theory of that model to the distribution with measure in proportion to the probability of the sentence.
Demski’s prior over complete theories extending \(B\).
Resulting prior probability is uncomputable but approximable.
Christiano uses standard ML techniques.
Undesirable: If \(B=\phi\), then 0 probabilities on complete theories where PA holds—any theory not finitely axiomatizable.2
Two ways to update Demski’s prior:
Why these are different: Consider \(\psi,\neg \psi\) consistent with \(\phi\).
Intuition
Desiderata
Note approximations must be incoherent. Reflectivity is possible up to infinitesimal error but difficult.
Inductivity is the Gaifman condition: If \(\Pj\) is logical prior and \(\phi\) is true \(\Pi_1\) sentence \(\forall n:\psi(n)\), then \(\Pj(\cdot |\text{true for }1,...,N)\to 1\). But must assign probability 0 to some true \(\Pi_2\) sentences. These priors are not weak enough!
\(\Pi_1\): \(\psi\) decidable by primitive recursive function. \(\Pi_2\): \(\forall\exists\).
(Why do we care about statements that don’t follow from PA? Toy problem for reasoning about uncertainty… is this the right problem?)
Desirable property:
Logical sentences are not the right tool for reasoning about the behavior of objects in the real world.
Realistic reasoning shortcuts. (cf. regret?)
It is not clear that sentences of first order logic are the “correct” underlying structure for logically uncertain reasoning about the world.
Ex. billiards player (?)
| Domain | Agent | Minimal sufficient conditions | Desirability arguments | Feasibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rational choice | VNM utility maximizer | VNM axioms | Dutch book arguments, compelling axioms | AIXI, POMDP solvers |
| Probability | Bayesian updater | axioms of probability theory | Dutch book arguments, compelling axioms | Solomonoff induction |
| Logical uncertainty | Garrabrant inductor | ??? | Dutch book arguments, historical desiderata | LIA2016 |
Replace logical omniscience with logical uncertain.
Logical uncertainty was a roadblock to decision theory, etc.
(What would you do tomorrow if you found Critch changed \(\pi\) to 4? Would you still go to work? Will pigs fly?)
Suppose you’re an algorithm. What if I do x?
Algorithm: what if I did this thing I didn’t do?
Put criteria for reasoning in a good language.
A good reasoning process \(P\) should satisfy
There’s a secret property (master criterion) that implies all 4 of these.
Conservatism (not too extreme)
Self-reflection
Tension between Godel (can’t prove soundness/consistency), vs. can notice certain things about own sanity.
Sequence of statements \(\phi\) is polytime generable if \(M(n)=\phi_n\) polytime.
Sequence of T/F questions relatively easy to generate, but can be arbitrarily difficult to answer deductively as \(n\) grows. p.g. statements are easy to state, hard to verify.
Ex. \(G(\ol n)\iff\) There is no proof of \(\ol G(\ol n)\) in \(\le \ol f (\ol n)\) characters.
True, but can’t be proven in fewer characters.
Analogy: Ramanujan vs. Hardy.
Timely manner: \[\begin{align} x_n \simeq_n y_n \iff \lim_{n\to \iy} x_n-y_n=0\\ x_n \gtrsim_n y_n\iff \lim\inf >0\\ ... \end{align}\](How sure of being sure…)
Self-trust
Learning statistical patterns.
Learning provable relationships:
No study of convergence rates. Point is that it verifies desiderata (first 9) are not contradictory.
Open question: Continuum hyp, bounded by Kolm complexity. depend on how parametrized. Different versions of Garrabrant inductors. Probabilities dominate each other? All universal semimeasures dominate each other. Garrabrant dominate universal semimeasures. Are all the different good ways comparable?
(Ex. \(\phi_n\): Turing machine has not halted by time \(n\).)
Try not to lose a lot of money on bets. (On agents simpler than you.)
A tad under doubly exponential time.
Mentally simulate all polytime traders. Run Wall Street traders in head output algebraic expressions. Open, algorithms respond. Algorithms respond to beliefs. This is what beliefs are, this is what I wish instead. Find fixpoint. Computably approximate.
Property: can’t lost too much money to polytime traders.
Pascal’s mugging. Where’s your \(\iy\) dollars. Bring the briefcase with the cash!
Start with finite budget, inversely proportional to complexity. By being complicated, smarter. Smart ones gain more money, larger bets, affect market prices more. Smart ones get rick and fill the market.
(Maybe that’s what neurons are! jk. SoM: Competing processes.)
Try to define like this. If there is no proof for “Turing machine halts” then say it is false. (This is a tie-breaker.) Now derive all logical consequences. Take some unknown statement \(X\). Consider machines trying to find proofs of \(X,\neg X\). Neither will halt. But this doesn’t say anything about \(X\)! Why is there a true arithmetic?↩
Induction schema consists of infinitely many axioms. What if we tried to do this with higher-order logic? What difficulties arise?↩


Today is, apparently, “the start of a two-week frenzy of online shopping”. I am told by persons who know such things that it is much easier to make purchases online than it was for Richard Bradley in the late 18th century trying to buy an island and having to negotiate with the Tobabmanser of Jancacunda and his singing man. Though in general I disapprove of shopping frenzies, I do think it would be a good idea for you all to go here and buy copies of all six Hooting Yard books, available in both paperback and ebook formats. They do, after all, make the perfect Christmas gifts for your loved ones.

For the filling, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion and garlic for five minutes or until softened. Add the mince and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally, or until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the rest of the filling ingredients, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
For the suet pastry, sift the flour into a mixing bowl with the suet and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gradually mix in about four tablespoons of cold water, or until you have a moist but firm dough.
On a lightly floured work surface roll the dough out to a 2mm thickness.
Generously butter two individual pie dishes then line each with the suet pastry, so that it covers the base and sides completely. Divide the filling mixture between the two dishes.
For the pie crust, roll out the shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured work surface to a 2mm thickness and use it to cover the two pies, pushing down the edges to seal. Brush generously with the egg yolk and make a hole in the middle of the lid to allow steam to escape.
Place the pie dishes into a deep-sided roasting tin and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the pie dishes, taking care not to get any water on the pastry. Transfer to the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden and the filling steaming hot.
Meanwhile, for the mashed potatoes, steam (or boil) the potatoes for 20 minutes or until tender. Scald the milk then mash the potatoes with the hot milk, butter and plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper until smooth. Drizzle with a little chilli oil, if using, and keep warm.
For the parsley liquor, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and whisk in the cornflour to make a paste. Gradually stir in the stock, bring to a simmer, then stir in the parsley and garlic and stir until thickened and smooth.
Serve the hot pies with the mash, parsley liquor and jellied eels on the side.

Qt NFC on Android
Automatically launching NDEF message handlers on Android
Android, the registration of NDEF message handlers is done via the Android manifest file. This means the application has to provide an AndroidManifest.xml file with proper NFC intent-filter.
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/> </intent-filter>
When the application is started it has to register an message handler with registerNdefMessageHandler() The first NDEF message arriving in the handler is the message that started the application. See the CorkBoard application for an example.
Note:
Supported tag types in Android are NDEF_DISCOVERED and ACTION_TAG_DISCOVERED with TagTechnology NdefFormatable or Ndef. If the application register other types in the Android manifest file the application will be started, but the tag will never get delivered to the handler. The handler should be registered as early as possible. If the application has not registered a handler, the application will be started every time a new tag is in range and the Android device end up running multiple instances of the application.
