Developing a search technique (strategy) when you know a possible position of your target, and keep on updating your prior information, with respect to your initial point and your target’s possible location using some Bayesian approach, and then further calculating the accuracy of the process. We tried to present the problem in form of a story so that readers don’t find it that boring to leave it untouched.
So what’s the Problem???
A man seeking a job is going for an interview but he has no idea of the city, he only knows the geographic direction (East, West, North, and South etc.) and he also knows that his office is located in the North-west direction from the bus stop. He was instructed to get off at the bus stand and ask anyone to instruct him further. After getting off at the city bus stand he meets a person and asks him how to get to the office, he says, "Go ahead!! You will find a diversion of four identical roads.
But unfortunately, the beggar that day sat in front of a different road (any of the other three roads, other than the one the person intended). The stranger following the given instructions takes the road where he found the beggar sitting. Hence he might find either a candy seller, a fruit seller or a newspaper vendor, but not the ice cream seller. Meeting someone other than the ice cream van will make him realise that he is going in the wrong direction, so he stops and again explains the situation the one whom he meet, but the ice cream vendor, candy seller, fruit seller or the newspaper man do not know each other, so he will ask the possible geographic direction of his destination, without taking the risk of being misled further. If he knows that he walked towards north before taking one of the diversions and after that he took a right turn and then a left turn to meet newspaper vendor (say). Now using the information he gets from the persons he meets and his sense of direction, he develops a strategy to reach his destination by finding out an optimal path following which he will never be late (assuming that no one misdirects him intentionally). So what can be his strategy and how often do you think his strategy may work?
Let’s think together, what you would have done in such a situation, when you have no smartphone (just for the sake of solving the problem)?
Although our friend is still jobless (may be consequences of unemployment), he is quite smart with some knowledge of mathematics and probability). Once misled, he decides not to be misdirected again and loose some important time so he starts asking the geographic direction (East, West, North, and South etc.). He took out a piece of paper and first drew the axes of direction on a corner of that and drew a special kind of rectangle( such that more or less 60% of the rectangle always happens to be a square) keeping his possible direction well inside that rectangle and keeping himself as any corner or vertex of that rectangle. In this case as he knows that he was facing north before taking one of the diversions and after taking the diversion ( where he found the deaf beggar sitting), he turned right and then left to meet the newspaper vendor, it’s evident that now he is facing towards north and his destination is towards north-west (leftward). So in his rectangle he will be at thebottom right corner or vertex, his destination is somewhere in the area enclosed by the two opposite adjacent sides from the bottom right corner.
Above here, is the axes of direction as he drawn on his paper and in the adjacent figure, he denotes his present position as p00 (the bottom left vertex of the rectangle) and his possible destination as D.
Now he asks a person whom he meets two questions, as follows-
Q1. In which direction is his destination?
If the answer is say towards left, then the 2nd question,
Q2. Is there is nearly 60% chance that my destination is somewhere near me?
If the answer is “yes” or “can’t say, I’m not a statistician” or even “no”, he proceeds with his further
strategy.
Now look carefully if he stands facing north then his left means west, but our friend knows that the location is possibly north-west , so to him left means union of north and north-west ( which still remains left for our friend), and hence if the person says left our friend is happy to continue, but if the first answer is not left he should not trust the stranger and ask again to another one, as he is very much certain that the possible direction of his destination have to be leftward from his position as he knows the bus stop is now towards his south( as he facing north) and he neither have travelled a long distance from the bus stop yet.
Now let’s come to the answer of the second question (Q2), if the answer is “yes” or “can’t say.....”, he cuts the rectangle one big and one small such that the bigger rectangle (or in this case a square, due to the special kind of the former rectangle) is at least 60% of the former rectangle and the smaller rectangle is at most 40% of the former rectangle. Now as he was said that there is 60% chance that his destination may ( due to answer “yes”) or may not( due to the answer “ can’t say...”) be anywhere near him, he draws the bigger rectangle is towards right or east ( following the axes he drawn on the corner of the paper). But still he have some suspect about the information and cannot take the risk of avoiding the bigger rectangle completely (let’s call it rejection rectangle (square) ), even though from his current state of information its says there is at least 60% of chance, that his destination is not anywhere near him. So he decides to cover a part of the rejection square (not the whole) without taking any paths towards east or south (just to keep himself psychologically near tohis destinations), hence he will cover maximum area that can be covered within the rejection rectangle not going towards east or south.
Shown above how he divided the former rectangle into a bigger rectangle or a possible square (60%
of the former rectangle), here the 60% rectangle (or square) is our rejection rectangle (square).
Now as he decides to cover the maximum of the rejection rectangle (or square), from p00.
There is no value of the answer “no” as an answer to his second question, as he knows that his
destination is somewhere to his left and he is suspecting either of the former answers and covering
the maximum area in the rejection rectangle anyway, so the answer “no” is as good as the other two
answers. Funny enough isn’t it!!
Actually all the answers of the 2nd question is equivalent to him, he is just asking it may be for sake
of psychological peace, if he is confident enough about his present position with respect to the bus
stop( starting point) and his possible destination, he may not bother to ask that question either.
So, his path from p00 will be somewhat-
Put r=0 ; the area under the curve is the area our friend is likely to cover before going to the other half of the rectangle. Note that, our friend may even find a way to his destination (D), even from this bounded area, but if he fails to find a route from the above bounded area, he will end up being at p10, where he will have to again find another person to ask some question.
But before asking, the other passer-by let us explain why our friend drew such a (regular)curve such that the adjacent sides of the rejection rectangle(square), happens to be tangents to the curve at p00 and p10. Actually as we said our friend knows a bit of mathematics, so he knows that the above claim actually follows from a theorem named Isoperimetric Theorem. The theorem states that “within aclosed isoperimetric (same or constant perimeter) regular figure the maximum possible area that can be covered has to be a circle.”
Now if our rejection rectangle is actually a square , as stated due the speciality of the rectangle drawn by our friend at first, then the maximum possible area that can be covered within the square is (π/4)r2 square units , if we consider the sides of the rejection square to be r units. Note that “(π/4)r2 square units” is the area that can either be covered by a circle within a square of sides r units , or the same area can be covered also by a quarter of a circle of radius r units. In this case, let us consider the latter case as it supports our friend’s strategy of “not to travel towards east or south”.
So now, with well satisfied with “why our friend chose such a path”, let’s move on to establish what
should be his strategy from thereafter.
So at p10, he will ask again questions but this time 3 questions, as he almost may have forgotten the
position of the bus stop with respect to his present position (p10).
Hence the possible questions are,
Q1. What is the direction I’m facing now? And in which direction, I can find the bus stop?
At, point p10, one might say him that he is facing towards west and the city bus stop is towards
south-east (SE), which may make him surprised( as he neither travelled south nor east), so he will
ask another question to the 2nd stranger.
Q2. In which direction is my destination?
If the answer is say towards left, then he feels satisfied with the stranger’s, answer to the
first question. But why?
Because, he will understand that he is facing west (W) and the direction of the bus stop is in
SE, even though he came a long way towards north-west(NW)(as he didn’t took a single way
towards east or south), but haven’t yet found his destination, this means that he may have
possibly travelled a more towards north(N) than towards west(W). So using the the answers
of both the above questions, he develops his hypothesis about his destination as,
“ my destination is towards left(L) means its towards south(S), but I know it can’t be so, but I
have also travelled more towards N than towards W, which implies that I have tom travel a
bit towards S and W to equalise my excessive movement towards N. my movement should
be towards south-west(SW).
Hence, SW = L ∪ W, where L ≈ S;
And hence he proceeds to the last and useless question,
Q3. Is there is at least 60% chance that my destination is somewhere near me?
If the answer is “yes” or “can’t say, I’m not a statistician” or even “no”, he proceeds with his further
strategy.
Now his strategy is very similar from here what he did earlier, he now again divides the 40% of the
remaining former rectangle (which he not yet travelled), into two a square and a rectangle. The
square will be the 60% of that rectangle which he haven’t travelled yet. By the information he got at
p10, he constructs the square(60% of the smaller rectangle) towards his right, as he was said that the
possible location of his destination is towards left, and he also decides not to take any more paths
towards north (N) or east(E), as he needs to equalise his excessive movements towards north hemade while covering the 1st rejection square. Now again this square becomes his 2nd rejection
square, we he decides to cover the maximum of it like he did in the 1st rejection square.
So again his path to in the 2nd rejection square is as
the direction axes given is the direction axes at the point p10.
Similarly, even after performing this for r times he fails to find his destination, his strategy will be the
same,
1. Asking questions and assessing his position with respect to the bus stop (initial point) and his
possible location D.
2. Dividing his suspected rectangle in a 60-40 proportion, such that the 60% of the rectangle
always gives him a rejection square, which he covers with a certain suspect probability, such
that he travels maximum of the rejection square.
3. If he fails to find his way to his destination from the rth>/sup> rejection square, and comes to the
point pr0, and he do the same again, until he reaches D.
So, combining above figures and assuming that our friend will reach D after covering 6 rejection square, then our friend’s path may seem like this-
[In the given figure, the or points where the curve is having tangents are p00, p10, p20, p30, p40, p50 and p60 and eventually he will find D. ]
It’s quite surprising isn’t it?
The path in which our friend converges towards D is a Logarithmic Spiral!! and also that he will
eventually find his destination somewhere in some jth rejection square , after meeting and collecting
information from j-1 strangers.
Well now happy with a strategy in hand, our friend must keep another thing in his mind(or in hand), which he may fall short off if he doesn’t take care of it from the very beginning of his journey. That thing is time.
He must even make a strategy how he should spend his time in each rejection square such that he is not late when he actually manages to reach the office.
Now he assumes here another thing, that he will have to ask for new information infinite number of times. So, if he has k units of time in his hand at the starting of his journey, he needs to partition k in infinite number of terms such that the infinite number of terms add up to k. He also notices that each rejection square is decreasing in size and hence the time he requires to inspect each rejection rectangle decreases as he moves nearer to his destination D, by the property of logarithmic spiral.
So he approximates the partition of k into infinite number of terms by a geometric progression of infinite terms,
Let he takes a (

I'm currently reading Gödel Escher Bach. His first formal system he introduces is the MIU system. It follows four rules.
I
to the U
?The only rule that can reduce the number of I
the the 3rd rule, so we should focus on that.
To remove all I
, we need to fullfill count(I) mod 3 = 0
, which means that the number of I
must be divisible by 3.
count
represents the number of I
, mod
is the mathematical operation modulo.
With the second rule, we can duplicate the starting I
.
But doubling a number that is not divisible by 3 will never make it divisible by 3.
Proof sketch:Suppose you have a number
n
that is not divisible by 3, son mod 3 != 0
, which means thatn = x * 3 + y
, wherex
can be any number andy
is 1 or 2. When doubling the number we getn * 2 = x * 6 + y * 2
.y * 2
is now 2 or 4, both numbers are still not divisible by 2.x * 6
is divisible by 3, so adding 2 or 4 will make it not divisible by 3.
Reducing the number of I
by 3 obviously won't help, we can only use this rule in a useful way when we already have a number that is divisible by 3.
All other rules don't affect the number of I
.
So the first exercise given by Douglas Hofstadter in Gödel Escher Bach is impossible to solve.
When you don't believe this proof, simply try it out and check if you're able to find a solution. You won't.

Tarzan * * * (out of * * * * )
Directed by Kevin Lima and Chris Buck. Voices: Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Glenn Close, Lance Henriksen, Rosie O'Donnell, Wayne Knight, Nigel Hawthorne, Brian Blessed, Alex D. Linz. 1999 - 88 minutes Rated G (if this were live-action, it would be at least PG for violence). Reviewed June 18, 1999.
These past two years have not been kind to Disney's animated features, particularly their last two summer films--the mediocre "Hercules" and the arrantly forgettable "Mulan." With the same old story formula and increasingly dull music, not to mention unextraordinary animation, I was beginning to wonder if Disney had finally run out of steam. At least one thing was certain: they weren't making top-quality films like "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast" anymore. With that said, the writer of this review is going to have to eat his own words as the newest Disney feature, "Tarzan," is a rip-roaring, thoroughly entertaining, and emotional motion picture, one of Disney's better recent excursions. Fascinatingly, it is said that the books of Edgar Rice Burroughs, based on the human "ape-man," Tarzan, is one of the most consistently remade stories in history, second to only Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Since I was more or less unfamiliar with Tarzan, aside from the basic details, this new Disney-fied version of "Tarzan" came off as more original than it probably should have, and it was rather easy to get caught up in the joyful goings-on.
The stunning opening, played to the lyrical tune, "Two Worlds," by Phil Collins (who composed five songs specifically for the film), introduces us to a young couple in perilous danger, as they escape with their baby from a burning ship. Stranded in the jungles of Africa, the kindly ape, Kala (voiced by Glenn Close), grieving over the tragic death of her own child, finds the human baby in a cottage atop the trees, which also leaves traces of his own parents, who were killed by a leopard. Convincing her companion and leader, Kerchak (Lance Henriksen), to take the baby, whom she names Tarzan, into their ape community, Tarzan finally grows up into a buff young man who has learned ape-"speak" and is able to swing gracefully from vine to vine. He realizes that he looks different than his surrogate "mother," Kala, but has been able to get past this fact and has made two good friends, the loudmouthed ape, Terk (Rosie O'Donnell, who else?), and the elephant, Tantor (Wayne Knight). As luck would have it, one day Tarzan narrowly saves the good-natured, young British woman, Jane (Minnie Driver), who is on a gorilla expedition with her professor father (Nigel Hawthorne) and the smarmy, rifle-toting Clayton (Brian Blessed), from a pack of wild monkeys. Discovering for the first time that there are beings just like him, Tarzan grows a fondness for Jane, who teaches him English in exhange for Apish, and finds himself suddenly torn between two completely different worlds--the one he grew up in, and the one he is supposed to belong in.
Using a brand-new technique known as "deep canvas," which three-dimensionalizes the backgrounds, the animators of "Tarzan" have really outdone themselves this time. The film is constantly an enjoyable piece of eye candy, with the scenes of Tarzan swinging through the trees almost as exhilarating as riding a rollercoaster. In particular, the sequence in which Tarzan saves Jane from the monkeys is a definite runner-up for the most exciting action set-piece in any movie this year.
While the other recent animated pictures have had approximately the same exact running time as "Tarzan," they all have come off as oddly empty and seemingly much too short. This unfortunate fact most likely was due to the repetitive nature in which they were made, as the characters would break into a ho-hum song every ten minutes, thus taking away from actual character development. Wisely and refreshingly choosing to not be a musical this time around, with the Phil Collins songs simply playing in the background, "Tarzan" feels neither hollow nor too-brief, and Tarzan's plight was far more easy to get into. Continually, the relationship he forms with Jane is one of the sweeter romances seen in any animated film in, dare I say it, history. Their connection, and gradual love for one another, does not come off as a contrivance (as so many of them do in Disney movies), and it, like the the film as a whole, felt more adult-oriented, although children 5 or 6 and up will also fall in love with it.
Too often voice-over work isn't as effective as it should be, but once again, the Disney folks have hit jackpot, particularly in the form of Minnie Driver, who gives one of the most winning performances I've seen in 1999, animated or not. Driver brings a surprising sassiness and life to Jane, and gets the most unforced laughs in the film. Tony Goldwyn is also perfect as Tarzan, with the pitch-perfect deep voice and expressions (although I couldn't help but be reminded of Brendan Fraser throughout, no doubt due to the 1997 live-action "George of the Jungle"). Glenn Close is touching in the voice of Kala, and her sad character, coming-to-terms with her own child's death, even has a scene that almost stole some liquid from my tear ducts. Lance Henriksen, as the gruff Kerchak, who makes it clear to Kala that, "Tarzan will never be my son," also gives fine voice work. Even Rosie O'Donnell, who began to seriously grate on my nerves after her first few scenes, grew on me, and even had one opportunity to flex her dramatic muscles(!)
With "Tarzan," Disney has hinted at a possible, much-needed redemption for the studio. If their animated tentpole for next summer is also a winner, then their talent will be confirmed. Though nowhere near as masterful as Dreamworks' "The Prince of Egypt," "Tarzan" remains everything a quality animated feature should be: intelligent, accessible to both kids and adults, and most important, genuinely fun. If only Disney could improve their incessantly awful live-action attempts; well, we can always hope, can't we?

We often hear the term 'stage of cancer' being thrown around when discussing the development level of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. However, many lack an understanding for what each of the stages actually mean. The stages of cancer exist as a reference system through which doctors can plan an appropriate treatment plan and estimate a patient's prognosis. There are 5 primary stages of cancer that are important to know.
Stage O - This is used to identify a cancer which is isolated to a singular place of origin. This means that the cancer has not invaded nearby tissue. It is ideal to discover the cancer at this stage, as its static state of development often means that doctors have the opportunity to remove it through surgery before it becomes a larger issue.
Stage I - This stage of cancer is defined when the cancerous cells have begun to invade neighboring tissue. While the disease is usually still under control at this point, this can often be a very frightening step, as it means that the cancer has the potential to threaten life.
Stage II and Stage III - These stages of cancer are declared when the cancer has begun to spread in the general region of the body in which it first developed but has not extended past this point. Surgery and Chemo or Radio therapies may be necessary at this point to prevent the disease from growing further.
Stage IV - This stage of cancer occurs when the cancer has spread to other locations in the body. It may enter the blood stream and form colonies at various points around the body. Cancer at this stage is sometimes described as being advanced or metastatic.
Cancer can be an incredibly expensive problem to deal with. While the cost of care varies greatly depending on the type and severity of the cancer, it is not uncommon for annual cost to be tens or even hundreds of thousands of United States dollars. Nearly everything associated with cancer treatment is expensive, and these towering expenses are the product of doctor visits, lab tests, chemo and radio therapy treatments, hospital visits, surgeries, and more.
Luckily, proper health insurance can do much to keep many of this financial burden from coming out of the patient's pocket. In fact, health insurance typically covers medical expenses, doctor and hospital visits, and many forms of drugs and medications.
In summary, while the costs of cancer are tremendous, there do exist ways to keep this burden from being a distraction while the patient undergoes treatment. That said, it is a good idea to fully understand your insurance plan and its limits, as the consequences can be severe for the underprepared individual.
Cancer patients should be focused on getting better, not managing a complex financial situation in the face of disease. One of the best ways you can reduce the financial burden on cancer patients is to donate to charities associated with cancer treatments, as many of them are involved with supporting tens of thousands of patients financially each and every year.
It's not uncommon for medical terms to be thrown around when discussing cancer. While this site was written with the intention of being accessible to everybody, there are still some terms that are worth knowing in order to fully grasp the medical context of what cancer patients deal with everyday.
Chemotherapy - The use of drugs to combat cancer and its side effects. Chemotherapy can be used for a variety of things, including but not limited to: killing cancerous cells, preventing tumor growth, relieving symptoms, and shrinking tumors before surgury.
Radiotherapy - The use of high energy rays to treat cancer by destroying mutated cells. Although normal cells can sometimes be damaged through this practice, they can typically repair themselves.
Metastasis - The spread of cancer from the point of origin of the disease to another location in the body. The cancer is often much harder to contain once metastasis has occured.
Remission - A cancer patient is in remission when cancer symptoms disapear or are reduced. This is referred to as partial remission and complete remission respectively.
Cancer is one of the most prominent diseases in our world today. Fourteen million new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year, with well over eight million of those cases resulting in death. In fact, someone died from cancer in the time it took for you to read this sentence.
While cancer may seem entirely random in who it strikes, there are some patterns which may someday guide us towards reducing the occurance rate of the disease. For instance, around 78 percent of all cancer cases in economically developed countries are in people over the age of 55.
The 5-year survival rate is a tool that doctors use to gauge how deadly a particular varient of cancer is. For instance, the 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is 16 percent. This means that 16 out of every 100 people survive 5 years or more after being diagnosed with their illness. This does not mean that the chances for survival for any particular individual are 16 percent: each case is different, and it is important to avoid applying blanket statistics such as these to indidual cases.
Surviving 5 years is an indication to many that the treatment has been effective and recovery is an option. One common misconception is that 5-year survival means that it is impossible for these patients to survive past 5 years. This is not true - many cancer patients go on to lead happy, healthy, and full lives. 5-year survival rates are just that: a number. It is important for patients to not take too much stock in it and instead focus on their own individual case.

Fight Colorectal Cancer has been on the front lines of the fight against Colorectal Cancers for years now. They have dedicated themselves to promoting the development of new treatments as well as making sure the public is well educated on the causes of Colorectal Cancers, something that has done much to inspire hope in those who suffer from it.
They fight against Colorectal Cancers in five main ways: advocacy, awareness generation, providing patients with resources, funding research, and philanthropy. All of these efforts have combined to make them a fortible contender in the fight against this disease. They have managed to do all of this while ensuring financial and ethical transparency, achieving an A+ rating on Charity Navigator in this regard.
In addition to this, they have optained a 4 star rating on Charity Navigator, meaning that all funds donated to them will be allocated responsibly and in a manner that is consistent with those who aim to fight Colorectal Cancers. You can join them in their battle by clicking on the button below to donate.
The NCCRA (National Colorectal Cancer Alliance) has made it their mission to eradicate the threat of Colorectal Cancers once and for all. They attempt to do this by promoting and raising funding for medical screenings, scientific tests, and treatments. They hope that their efforts will one day prove successful enough to yield a cure, and they have been selflessly pursuing this goal since their founding in 2000.
They have raised well over 33 million dollars to date, and have provided thousands of patients with advanced technologies that make their lives more comfortable and fulfilling. One such advancement that they have funded has been the development of a DNA-based stool test that can detect the gene mutation that led to the occurance of the disease. This provides researches everywhere with more data with which to construct future treatment plans.

INSPECTOR GADGET (PG). (Walt Disney Pictures/Buena Vista International) Director: David Kellogg Stars: Matthew Broderick, Rupert Everett, Joely Fisher, Michelle Trachtenberg, Dabney Coleman, Rene Auberjonois, Michael G Hagerty, voice of Don Adams.
This pedestrian and largely unfunny adaptation of the popular children's cartoon series joins those other woefully miscast, misguided live action adaptations of animated series (The Flintstones, Mr Magoo) in the cinematic wasteland.
A strangely uncharismatic Matthew Broderick (remember his glory days as Ferris Bueller?) steps into the shoes of the robotic sleuth with more gadgets than a hardware store, but he is clearly out of his depth. Broderick plays John Brown, a security guard who dreams of becoming a police officer in Riverton. His wish comes true in a most unexpected way after he is severely injured while attempting to stop a break in at the laboratory where he works.  He ends up looking like a cross between the Six Million Dollar Man and Robocop, without the inventive genius of either!
Gadget's first case involves trying to solve the murder of Brenda's father, which brings him up against the villainous industrialist Claw (Rupert Everett, in a complete contrast to his recent role in An Ideal Husband, etc), who creates an evil version of Inspector Gadget and sets about creating havoc in the city. The less than cluey Inspector Gadget gets plenty of help from his inquisitive and intelligent niece Penny (Michelle Trachtenberg, from Harriet The Spy) and her dog Brains.
David Kellogg's direction is ham fisted and unsubtle, and the film has plenty of flat moments, especially for older audiences or those who fondly remember the '80's cartoon with some affection. The special effects are occasionally quite good, but more often than not they are distinctly second rate and unconvincing.
The performances are suitably camp and unconvincing. Everett hams it up nicely as the arch villain of the piece, and almost steals the movie. Some of the film's best lines belong to the gadgetmobile, the wise cracking, talking car with attitude, whose antics will probably delight younger audiences. Don Adams, who provided the voice of Gadget in the original series, gets a brief cameo here providing the voice of Brains, the dog, in some nonsense during the final credits.
Admittedly, Inspector Gadget is comic book stuff, but still some effort should have been made to accommodate those audiences older than eight years old who will inevitably be dragged into the cinemas. The biggest problem lies with the uneven script, which can't seem to make up its mind whether it should be over the top comic book fantasy or not. There are a few clever in-jokes throughout the film (such as the Godzilla send up) that provide a few chuckles. Unfortunately, the best and most inspired moments come too late, during the final credits.
Sadly this disappointing film is a case of no go gadget!

DbTradeAlert alerts you to securities reaching a specified price or at a specified date and pays for itself by showing banner ads.
This page consists of a Quick Start followed by a description of the app's Screens, a Glossary , and the Data Retention Policy.
DbTradeAlert comes with some predefined securites and watchlists. You can use them to try DbTradeAlert or simply remove them.
After that add the securities you are interested in:
Tap OK in the Edit Security screen and close the Manage Securities screen to go back to the main screen. Then tap the Refresh button in the top right corner to update the reports. If any of the specified targets are hit you will also get a trade alert.
You can also tell DbTradeAlert to remind you of a specific date. For this go to the Edit Reminder screen like described above for securities and type in the reminder's date, heading and optionally a note. Also activate the reminder and finally tap OK.
DbTradeAlert will get quotes for all securities about every hour even when the app is closed and notify you about targets that are hit. At the same time it will evaluate reminders.
At any time you can add, edit and remove securities as well as add them to or remove them from watchlists. You can also add, edit and remove watchlists as well as reminders.
On Android Marshmallow the app's settings and database will be backed up automatically if you opted for backups when creating your Google account. You can also copy the database to a computer:
To copy the database back to your device:
Please note that Android will automatically delete the database copy in internal storage when you uninstall DbTradeAlert. If you want to keep a copy save it to your computer.
DbTradeAlert is meant for people who check their portfolio maybe once a week. If your portfolio needs more attention you probably need a more sophisticated app. It's also butlerlike discreet: neither the database nor the UI including trade alerts provide any clues about your portfolio's worth — or whether you have a portfolio at all.
Use the About screen to find out which version of dbTradeAlert you are using:
Note that you can select the screen's content to copy and paste it.
To access the About screen select About in the app's overflow menu.
You use the Edit Reminder screen to add or change reminders. The heading will show in trade alerts while the notes are not used by DbTradeAlert. Due date and Is active are used to determine when to show a trade alert.
To access the Edit Reminder screen:
You use the Edit Security screen to add or change securities.
The security's symbol can only be specified when adding a security.
In addition to the symbol you can provide information like
To remove the base or maximum prices, their dates, or a target clear the respective field.
You will also want to add the security to a watchlist. Note that if you entered an invalid symbol the security will be ignored and not show up in any watchlists.
The security's name and currency symbol come with the quotes so you don't need to provide them.
To access the Edit Security screen:
You can also access the Edit Security screen by long-tapping a security in the app's main screen.
You use the Edit Watchlist screen to add or change watchlists. Here you can edit a watchlist's name as well as add securities to it or remove them from it.
To access the Edit Watchlist screen:
Use the Help screen — the one you are currently looking at — to find out what DbTradeAlert can do for you.
To access the Help screen select Help in the app's overflow menu.
In the Manage Reminders screen you can delete reminders as well as start the Edit Reminder screen.
To access the Manage Reminders screen select Manage Reminders in the app's overflow menu.
In the Manage Securities screen you can delete securities as well as start the Edit Security screen.
To access the Manage Securities screen select Manage Securities in the app's overflow menu.
In the Manage Watchlists screen you can delete watchlists as well as start the Edit Watchlist screen.
To access the Manage Watchlists screen select Manage Watchlists in the app's overflow menu.
In the Settings screen you specify your preferences:
Gaps in the settings for business days and hours have no effect. DbTradeAlert uses the first and last day / hour of the setting to decide whether it should auto refresh.
To access the Settings screen select Settings in the app's overflow menu.
The trade alerts window contains a line for each trade alert and each due reminder. Tapping the window will take you to the main screen.
Example for a trade alert based on a target: “NOVN.VX: low = 79.55; T = 92.07” means that Novartis named shares have a trailing target coresponding to 92.07 (CHF) which is hit because the day's low was at 79.55 (CHF). The trade alerts window will have one line like this for each trade alert.
Each due reminder will show its heading as a line. And if the window shows one or more reminder-related trade alerts it will also have a Reminders button. Tapping that button will take you to the Manage Reminders screen.
The Watchlist screen is the app's main screen and shows reports for all securities in a watchlist. Watchlists are ordered by name.
Tap and hold a report to go to the Edit Security screen. Swipe right or left to go to the next or previous watchlist.
The top of the screen shows the timestamp of the last update and provides access to the Refresh button as well as to the app's menu.
The base price is a price you want to remember like the price you paid for a security. You can edit it in the Edit Security screen. Reports show this price marked with "B".
The base price date is a date you want to remember like the date you bought a security. You can edit it in the Edit Security screen. This date is for your information only and not used by DbTradeAlert.
When you add a security DbTradeAlert will automatically start recording the highest price. Only if you want to use a historical price that was reached before you added the security you need to specify it in the Edit Security screen. Doesn't show up in DbTradeAlert directly but is used to calculate trailing targets and the percentage of maximum price shown in the report's chart.
The maximum price date is the date on which the security's maximum price was reached. Like the maximum price its date is updated automatically. This date is for your information only and not used by DbTradeAlert.
The overflow menu is depicted by three vertically ordered dots in the upper right corner of the app's main screen. You can access all the app's management screens from this menu.
A quote is information about a security that DbTradeAlert aquires online every hour or upon manual request. DbTradeAlert shows this information in its main screen for each security in a watchlist. Quote data is updated even when a security is in no watchlist.
Note that quotes will occasionally have missing or incorrectly formatted values which DbTradeAlert will ignore. If the value for last trade (current price) is missing or incorrectly formatted the whole quote will be ignored. Quotes for invalid symbols will also be ignored.
Refresh means to download quotes, evaluate targets and reminders, and update reports and trade alerts. By default DbTradeAlert does that once an hour but you can tap the main screen's Refresh button at any time. Auto refresh is limited to exchange's opening hours to save battery and network usage. The default values for those opening hours are monday to friday from 9 am to 7 pm. You can change the opening hours and whether DbTradeAlert auto refreshes at all in its Settings screen. Consider auto refresh's delay of up to 1 hour and timezone differences when you set opening hours.
You create a reminder for a date you want to act on. That could be a bond's maturity date or a date where the issuer can call the bond. But you don't directly connect a reminder to a security.
If the reminder is active its heading is shown in a trade alert starting at the specified date. So make shure the heading only contains information bystaders may see.
Watchlists show a report for each security added to them. A report's upper part shows these values (from left to right and top to bottom):
If a quote is older than 24 hours its timestamp and trade alerts fileds will have a sepia background color. Missing values will be shown as hyphens.
A report's lower part provides two charts:
A security can be any financial instrument like stocks, bonds, currency pairs, funds or indexes. It's identified by a security symbol and edited in the Edit Security screen. To add a new security use the Manage Securities screen.
A symbol identifies not only the security but also the exchange — for example NESN.VX means Nestle AG registered shares at SIX Swiss Exchange. Symbols have to be unique in DbTradeAlert. As the quotes are delivered by Yahoo the symbol needs to be supported by Yahoo. If you enter an invalid symbol it will be ignored and its reports will not show in any watchlist.
A target is a condition you want to act upon. When a target is reached it triggers a trade alert. Reminding you of those is DbTradeAlerts main purpose. While your bank or broker provide stop loss orders and the like you probably won't want to use them for low-volume securities especially if they trigger market orders.
Targets and resulting trade alerts are shown in each report of a watchlist. If one or more targets are hit you'll also receive a notification.
You specify targets in the Edit Security screen.
A trade alert is the thing that gave DbTradeAlert its name. If a target is hit or a reminder is due you'll receive a trade alert. Trade alerts use an Android feature called notification that consists of a small window showing messages. It is usually accompanied by a sound and optionally vibration. DbTradeAlert issues trade alerts for all its hit targets and due reminders directly after a manual or scheduled refresh.
A trailing target a.k.a. trailing stop or trailing stop loss trails the security's maximum price. For example if you specify a trailing target of 10 % in the Edit Security screen and the security's maximum price is 100 EUR the trade alert will be triggered when the security's price drops to 90 EUR or below. But if the security's maximum price meanwhile rose to 110 EUR the trailing target of 10 % will equal 99 EUR. So a trailing target simply avoids having to constantly adjust a lower target.
A watchlist is a named list of reports on securities ordered by their names. A security can be in any number of watchlists. It can also be in no watchlist at all for example if you want to keep the notes and targets but don't currently follow the security.
Short form: DbTradeAlert doesn't collect any personal data.
The following sections explain what non-personal data may be collected.
The app tracks non-personal values to identify usage scenarios:
It does not track any data you entered nor does it track your settings. The app currently tracks invalid symbols though to figure out whether assistance is needed to enter them.
Google creates tracking data and shares aggregates of that with its partners including app publishers. This topic shows all the data available to app publishers: BigQuery Export for Firebase Analytics.
Everything about your data used by Google's ad business is detailed here including the option to turn off Ads Personalization altogether: About Google Ads.

Migration guide from 1.X to 2.0¶
This is a guide for people moving from NetworkX 1.X to NetworkX 2.0
Any issues with these can be discussed on the mailing list.
At the bottom of this document we discuss how to create code that will work with both NetworkX v1.x and v2.0.
We have made some major changes to the methods in the Multi/Di/Graph classes. The methods changed are explained with examples below.
With the release of NetworkX 2.0 we are moving to a view/iterator reporting API.
We have changed many methods from reporting lists or dicts to iterating over
the information. Most of the changes in this regard are in the base classes.
Methods that used to return containers now return views (inspired from
dictionary views
in Python) and methods that returned an iterator have been removed.
The methods which create new graphs have changed in the depth of data copying.
G.subgraph
/edge_subgraph
/reverse
/to_directed
/to_undirected
are affected. Many now have options for view creation instead of copying data.
The depth of the data copying may have also changed.
One View example is G.nodes
(or G.nodes()
) which now returns a
dict-like NodeView while G.nodes_iter()
has been removed. Similarly
for views with G.edges
and removing G.edges_iter
.
The Graph attributes G.node
and G.edge
have been removed in favor of
using G.nodes[n]
and G.edges[u, v]
.
Finally, the selfloop
methods and add_path
/star
/cycle
have
been moved from graph methods to networkx functions.
We expect that these changes will break some code. We have tried to make them break the code in ways that raise exceptions, so it will be obvious that code is broken.
There are also a number of improvements to the codebase outside of the base graph classes. These are too numerous to catalog here, but a couple obvious ones include:
- centering of nodes in
drawing/nx_pylab
, - iterator vs dict output from a few
shortest_path
routines
Some demonstrations:
>>> import networkx as nx
>>> G = nx.complete_graph(5)
>>> G.nodes # for backward compatibility G.nodes() works as well
NodeView((0, 1, 2, 3, 4))
You can iterate through G.nodes
(or G.nodes()
)
>>> for node in G.nodes:
... print(node)
0
1
2
3
4
If you want a list of nodes you can use the Python list function
>>> list(G.nodes)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
G.nodes
is set-like allowing set operations. It is also dict-like in that you
can look up node data with G.nodes[n]['weight']
. You can still use the calling
interface G.nodes(data='weight')
to iterate over node/data pairs. In addition
to the dict-like views keys
/values
/items
, G.nodes
has a data-view
G.nodes.data(‘weight’). The new EdgeView G.edges
has similar features for edges.
By adding views NetworkX supports some new features like set operations on views.
>>> H = nx.Graph()
>>> H.add_nodes_from([1, 'networkx', '2.0'])
>>> G.nodes & H.nodes # finding common nodes in 2 graphs
set([1])
>>> G.nodes | H.nodes # union of nodes in 2 graphs
set([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 'networkx', '2.0'])
Similarly, G.edges
now returns an EdgeView instead of a list of edges and it
also supports set operations.
>>> G.edges # for backward compatibility G.nodes() works as well
EdgeView([(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (0, 4), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)])
>>> list(G.edges)
[(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (0, 4), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)]
G.degree
now returns a DegreeView. This is less dict-like than the other views
in the sense that it iterates over (node, degree) pairs, does not provide
keys/values/items/get methods. It does provide lookup G.degree[n]
and
(node, degree)
iteration. A dict keyed by nodes to degree values can be
easily created if needed as dict(G.degree)
.
>>> G.degree # for backward compatibility G.degree() works as well
DegreeView({0: 4, 1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4, 4: 4})
>>> G.degree([1, 2, 3])
DegreeView({1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4})
>>> list(G.degree([1, 2, 3]))
[(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)]
>>> dict(G.degree([1, 2, 3]))
{1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4}
>>> G.degree
DegreeView({0: 4, 1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4, 4: 4})
>>> list(G.degree)
[(0, 4), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (4, 4)]
>>> dict(G.degree)
{0: 4, 1: 4, 2: 4, 3: 4, 4: 4}
The degree of an individual node can be calculated by G.degree[node]
.
Similar changes have been made to in_degree
and out_degree
for directed graphs. If you want just the degree values, here are some options.
They are shown for in_degree
of a DiGraph
, but similar ideas work
for out_degree
and degree
>>> DG = nx.DiGraph()
>>> DG.add_weighted_edges_from([(1, 2, 0.5), (3, 1, 0.75)])
>>> deg = DG.in_degree # sets up the view
>>> [d for n, d in deg] # gets all nodes' degree values
[1, 1, 0]
>>> (d for n, d in deg) # iterator over degree values
<generator object <genexpr> ...>
>>> [deg[n] for n in [1, 3]] # using lookup for only some nodes
[1, 0]
>>> dict(DG.in_degree([1, 3])).values() # works for nx-1 and nx-2
[1, 0]
>>> # DG.in_degree(nlist) creates a restricted view for only nodes in nlist.
>>> # but see the fourth option above for using lookup instead.
>>> list(d for n, d in DG.in_degree([1, 3]))
[1, 0]
>>> [len(nbrs) for n, nbrs in DG.pred.items()] # probably slightly fastest for all nodes
[1, 1, 0]
>>> [len(DG.pred[n]) for n in [1, 3]] # probably slightly faster for only some nodes
[1, 0]
If n
is a node in G
, then G.neighbors(n)
returns an iterator.
>>> n = 1
>>> G.neighbors(n)
<dictionary-keyiterator object at ...>
>>> list(G.neighbors(n))
[0, 2, 3, 4]
DiGraphViews behave similar to GraphViews, but have a few more methods.
>>> D = nx.DiGraph()
>>> D.add_edges_from([(1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 3), (2, 4)])
>>> D.nodes
NodeView((1, 2, 3, 4))
>>> list(D.nodes)
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> D.edges
OutEdgeView([(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 4)])
>>> list(D.edges)
[(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 4)]
>>> D.in_degree[2]
1
>>> D.out_degree[2]
2
>>> D.in_edges
InEdgeView([(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 4)])
>>> list(D.in_edges())
[(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 4)]
>>> D.out_edges(2)
OutEdgeDataView([(2, 3), (2, 4)])
>>> list(D.out_edges(2))
[(2, 3), (2, 4)]
>>> D.in_degree
InDegreeView({1: 0, 2: 1, 3: 2, 4: 1})
>>> list(D.in_degree)
[(1, 0), (2, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1)]
>>> D.successors(2)
<dictionary-keyiterator object at ...>
>>> list(D.successors(2))
[3, 4]
>>> D.predecessors(2)
<dictionary-keyiterator object at ...>
>>> list(D.predecessors(2))
[1]
The same changes apply to MultiGraphs and MultiDiGraphs.
The order of arguments to set_edge_attributes
and set_node_attributes
has
changed. The position of name
and values
has been swapped, and name
now
defaults to None
. The previous call signature of (graph, name, value)
has
been changed to (graph, value, name=None)
. The new style allows for name
to
be omitted in favor of passing a dictionary of dictionaries to values
.
A simple method for migrating existing code to the new version is to explicitly specify the keyword argument names. This method is backwards compatible and ensures the correct arguments are passed, regardless of the order. For example the old code
>>> G = nx.Graph([(1, 2), (1, 3)])
>>> nx.set_node_attributes(G, 'label', {1: 'one', 2: 'two', 3: 'three'})
>>> nx.set_edge_attributes(G, 'label', {(1, 2): 'path1', (2, 3): 'path2'})
Will cause TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'
in the new version. The code
can be refactored as
>>> G = nx.Graph([(1, 2), (1, 3)])
>>> nx.set_node_attributes(G, name='label', values={1: 'one', 2: 'two', 3: 'three'})
>>> nx.set_edge_attributes(G, name='label', values={(1, 2): 'path1', (2, 3): 'path2'})
Some methods have been moved from the base graph class into the main namespace.
These are: G.add_path
, G.add_star
, G.add_cycle
, G.number_of_selfloops
,
G.nodes_with_selfloops
, and G.selfloop_edges
.
They are replaced by nx.path_graph(G, ...)
nx.add_star(G, ...)
,
nx.selfloop_edges(G)
, etc.
For backward compatibility, we are leaving them as deprecated methods.
With the new GraphViews (SubGraph, ReversedGraph, etc) you can’t assume that
G.__class__()
will create a new instance of the same graph type as G
.
In fact, the call signature for __class__
differs depending on whether G
is a view or a base class. For v2.x you should use G.fresh_copy()
to
create a null graph of the correct type—ready to fill with nodes and edges.
Graph views can also be views-of-views-of-views-of-graphs. If you want to find the
original graph at the end of this chain use G.root_graph
. Be careful though
because it may be a different graph type (directed/undirected) than the view.
topolgical_sort
no longer accepts reverse
or nbunch
arguments.
If nbunch
was a single node source, then the same effect can now be achieved
using the subgraph
operator:
nx.topological_sort(G.subgraph(nx.descendants(G, nbunch)))
To achieve a reverse topological sort, the output should be converted to a list:
reversed(list(nx.topological_sort(G)))
Writing code that works for both versions¶
Methods set_node_attributes
/get_node_attributes
/set_edge_attributes
/get_edge_attributes
have changed the order of their keyword arguments name
and values
. So, to make it
work with both versions you should use the keywords in your call.
>>> nx.set_node_attributes(G, values=1.0, name='weight')
Change any method with _iter
in its name to the version without _iter
.
In v1 this replaces an iterator by a list, but the code will still work.
In v2 this creates a view (which acts like an iterator).
Replace any use of G.edge
with G.adj
. The Graph attribute edge
has been removed. The attribute G.adj
is G.edge
in v1 and will work
with both versions.
If you use G.node.items()
or similar in v1.x, you can replace it with
G.nodes(data=True)
which works for v2.x and v1.x. Iterating over G.node`
as in for n in G.node:
can be replaced with G
, as in: for n in G:
.
The Graph attribute node
has moved its functionality to G.nodes
, so code
expected to work with v2.x should use G.nodes
.
In fact most uses of G.node
can be replaced by an idiom that works for both
versions. The functionality that can’t easily is: G.node[n]
.
In v2.x that becomes G.nodes[n]
which doesn’t work in v1.x.
Luckily you can still use G.node[n]
in v2.x when you want it to be able to work
with v1.x too. We have left G.node
in v2.x as a transition pointer to G.nodes
.
We envision removing G.node
in v3.x (sometime in the future).
Copying node attribute dicts directly from one graph to another can corrupt the node data structure if not done correctly. Code such as the following:
>>> # dangerous in v1.x, not allowed in v2.x
>>> G.node[n] = H.node[n]
used to work, even though it could cause errors if n
was not a node in G
.
That code will cause an error in v2.x. Replace it with one of the more safe versions:
>>> G.node[n].update(H.node[n]) # works in both v1.x and v2.x
>>> G.nodes[n].update(H.nodes[n]) # works in v2.x
The methods removed from the graph classes and put into the main package namespace can be used via the associated deprecated methods. If you want to update your code to the new functions, one hack to make that work with both versions is to write your code for v2.x and add code to the v1 namespace in an ad hoc manner:
>>> if nx.__version__[0] == '1':
... nx.add_path = lambda G, nodes: G.add_path(nodes)
Similarly, v2.x code that uses G.fresh_copy()
or G.root_graph
is hard to make
work for v1.x. It may be best in this case to determine the graph type you want
explicitly and call Graph/DiGraph/MultiGraph/MultiDiGraph directly.
Using Pickle with v1 and v2¶
The Pickle protocol does not store class methods, only the data. So if you write a pickle file with v1 you should not expect to read it into a v2 Graph. If this happens to you, read it in with v1 installed and write a file with the node and edge information. You can read that into a config with v2 installed and then add those nodes and edges to a fresh graph. Try something similar to this:
>>> # in v1.x
>>> pickle.dump([G.nodes(data=True), G.edges(data=True)], file)
>>> # then in v2.x
>>> nodes, edges = pickle.load(file)
>>> G = nx.Graph()
>>> G.add_nodes_from(nodes)
>>> G.add_edges_from(edges)

MIUI 11 stable version now available for Mi 8 Explorer Edition [UPDATE]
by Efe UdinRate this post
Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, has been releasing its latest MIUI 11 update to its smartphones. A couple of devices are already getting this update in China. The likes of Redmi Note 7, Redmi K20 series and even the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S are already receiving this update. The global release of this update will be verified soon. However, for now, the beta version of MIUI 11 based on Android 10 is now available for Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition.
Update: The stable version of this update is now rolling out. It weighs 2.2GB and the Chinese version of this device is currently receiving the update.
The new MIUI 11 supports cross-platform high-speed file transfer, and it is faster and more convenient to transfer photos, files and even applications between mobile phones. In addition, MIUI 11 supports all-around screencasting. The mobile phone is your pager, word processor and laser pointer. It supports more than 300 TVs, documents, videos, games, and applications. MIUI 11 also brings a mature modern design language, Vientiane screen, and even a dynamic natural sound system.
The Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition comes with a comprehensive display and also uses a completely transparent rear. This smartphone uses a 6.21-inch Samsung AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2248 × 1080. Under the hood, we have a Snapdragon 845 processor with 8GB of RAM and 128GB body storage. In the camera department, it has a 12MP + 12MP AI zoom dual-camera (supports AI video recording and AI scene camera). On the front, there is a 20MP camera (supporting micro plastic beauty). The battery capacity is 2900 mAh.


Model FixedFrame visualizes the three axes of
its coordinate system frame_a together with
appropriate axes labels. A typical example is shown in the
following figure:
The sizes of the axes, the axes colors and the specular coefficient (= reflection factor for ambient light) can vary dynamically by providing appropriate expressions in the input fields of the parameter menu.


Cogen dependencies on bsd/linux are py-sendfile and py-epoll/py-kqueue on python <2.6. On windows cogen can optionally use pywin32. On 2.6 cogen can use the builtin select.epoll and select.kqueue.
These docs are intended for the trunk version so you’ll need to get that. Some socket related api has changed since cogen 0.1.9.
Get the sources:
svn co http://cogen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ cogen
Then:
python setup.py install
or:
python setup.py develop
Or even just:
easy_install cogen==dev


Solve problems with personal guidance and interaction.
Use what you learned to prosper in your courses.


Install git, R and RStudio for your work environment. This is a developers’ release; for the moment, you’ll need to be familiar with git / GitHub, R and RStudio.
I test regularly on Windows, Arch Linux and the Data Science Pet Containers toolset, but any environment that supports RStudio should work. If anything doesn’t work or the documentation is unclear, please file an issue at https://github.com/znmeb/dfstools/issues/newdevtools
and roxygen2
from CRAN.In the RStudio console, type devtools::install_github("znmeb/dfstools")
.

On the left is the list of museums with a link to their respective pages. An info box of the museum will pop up when you mouse over the list. You may either click the name of the museum from the list or mouse over the point and click the picture; both options will bring you to the web page for the museum.
