--- layout: newsstory title: WHAT A WEEK! match: Chippenham 1 Yeltz 2 ---
With a second win in a week away to a top of the table side, the mighty Yeltz continued their fight to stay in the Premier Division with an excellent 2-1 victory at Chippenham . First half goals from Lee Williams and Gavin Stone took us into a 2-0 lead, and although they got one back on the hour, we hung on to get another valuable three points.
We're still in the bottom four with Grantham beating Hastings and Hinckley beating Welling, but we've moved up a spot and are still only in the relegation zone on goal difference.
On Tuesday we're back at The Grove where we welcome Newport County . They've been on a poor run of late, and we're only 5 points behind them even though they're in 10th place, so let's hope we can continue our recent excellent form and continue our fightback.
Chippenham Town: Bittner; Andrews (Mills 58), Thorne, Towler, Gould, Charity, Walker, Horgan, Paul (Godley 90), Mings, Griffin (Rawlins 81). Unused Sub: Bull
Halesowen Town: Clarke; Colwell, Hines, Bauress, Collins, Stone, Williams, Ashby (Leadbeater 61), Danks (Master 90), McHugh, Skidmore. Unused Subs: Spencer, Trainer, Charlton
Referee: R. Green (Berkeley, Glos.) Attendance: 605 Booked: None
Rejuvenated Halesowen reeled off their third straight away win to haul themselves closer to safety and extend their unbeaten run to five games.
Halesowen weathered some early Chippenham pressure and slack defending allowed Charlie Griffin to nip in and head a Gary Horgan free-kick against the cross-bar in the 2nd minute. Lee Collins then cleared a Scott Walker cross from the left and in the 5th minute Adie Mings miscued his shot from the edge of the box when well placed.
An 11th minute Les Hines free-kick was met by a Gavin Stone header but goalkeeper James Bittner scurried across his goal to make a fingertip save. Home skipper Colin Towler then cleared off his goal-line when Mark Danks took down a 14th minute right wing cross to shoot on target.
Chippenham's direct approach continued to cause problems up the slope and Gary Bauress was forced to clear over his own bar in the 16th minute. Simon Charity then hit wide from 20 yards and Griffin lobbed over the bar in the 23rd minute.
Jason Ashby nipped in to latch onto a long ball from Lee Williams in the 25th minute but Bittner rushed out to make an acrobatic block. After a stoppage for injury to Bittner, Danks then turned in the area to produce a reflex stop from the keeper and in the 32nd minute Ashby almost connected after neat play by Danks and Williams. At the other end Tim Clarke grabbed Horgan's shot at the second attempt in the 42nd minute.
The Yeltz then blasted the Bluebirds with a two-goal salvo in the final minute of the first half. Halesowen took the lead in the 45th minute with their own route-one style when a long ball from Danks bounced over Wayne Thorne and WILLIAMS lobbed the goalkeeper from 15 yards. Seconds later, STONE was on hand to touch home a right wing cross from close range that had escaped Collins under pressure to take a 2-0 half-time lead that looked unlikely just minutes earlier.
Five minutes into the second half a stunned Chippenham could only watch when a Collins header hit the crossbar with Horgan standing on the line. However, Chippenham pulled a goal back in the 57th minute with Scott Walker rifling home the loose ball from 18 yards after Clarke had failed to hold a deep cross from the left under pressure following Tom Gould's 30-yard free-kick. Three minutes later Griffin headed inches over the bar as it seemed the home side were about to apply the pressure down the slope.
However, with Frazer McHugh and Williams pulling the strings in midfield the Yeltz were never seriously troubled in the final half-hour despite seven minutes of injury-time. Mings drove wide from the left in the 70th minute before Bittner collected a 75th minute curling free-kick from Hines.
Halesowen's controlled and neat passing almost created a third goal in the 76th minute with McHugh hitting the outside of the angle as Danks and substitute Richard Leadbeater broke through the home defence. Five minutes from time Clarke tipped away a left-wing cross from Martin Paul for a corner, but the Yeltz easily held on to record a splendid win and condemn Chippenham to their first home league defeat since August.


How to start speaking at conferences?
Haga clic aquí para la versión en español
So you have been to meet-ups and conferences and wish that you are one of the speakers, or you have some great ideas, discover something or have an opinion about something that you wanna share, and you wonder how can you start? Here are some useful information for you. The information provided will apply to both in-person and online events.
How to become a speaker?
Everyone can become a speaker, the best way to start is by giving a 5 mins (or less) lightning talk at a friendly conference or a local meet-up. It is because you don’t have to write a proposal and get through the process of CfP reviews which can be difficult for new speakers.
Attend the event that you want to speak at a few times and see what the vibe is like, Is the community welcoming? Is the audience supportive? Would you feel comfortable giving a talk there? Look for an event that has an effective Code of Conduct (CoC) in place.
What can I speak about?
Now, you have found the perfect conference or meet-up as your debut stage. You may ask: what am I gonna talk about?
It depends on the event. Generally, lightning talks are more relaxed and any topics (as long as it’s short and not violating the CoC) are accepted. You can even talk about your cat!
For local meet-ups, I think the best way is to ask the organisers, they know the community and the audiences. You may ask them what kind of talk would they be interested in. Usually by attending the meet-up a few times you may already get a clue.
As a rule of thumb, choose a topic that you are passionate about. Unless specified by the organisers, a beginner-friendly talk will be suitable for most audiences (no one is an expert in everything and there will usually be more beginners than experts in that topic in the room). So don’t overthink and give yourself pressure to give a very deep talk (you only got 30-45 mins). Think of it as telling a story about a thing that you care about.
If you planned to give a talk at a meet-up, there are some tips for preparing a talk below that may be useful for you.
How to create a great CfP (that helps you get selected)?
 You want to get the full speaker experience and are planning to submit a proposal to a CfP (Call for Proposal) at a conference that you are planning to attend. What shall you do?
If you have done the previous step - gave a lightning talk or a talk at a meet-up, you could reuse the same material. This will give you confidence that the topic works as you have already given the talk once. However, you may need to extend or adjust the material as the setting is different this time.
What to write in a proposal?
To write a good proposal, first, we need a good title. It needs to be catchy as this is the first thing the reviewers see. If you are not good at making puns, don’t worry, a precise title that gives the reviewer an idea of what you are going to talk about is also ok.
Next, you may be asked to provide an abstract, this is usually a short paragraph that is less than 300-400 characters. This lets you extend the title of your talk and briefly explain what your talk is about. This will usually be made public so think of it as if you are a conference attendee, what will make you come to this talk?
After the abstract, you may be asked to provide a description, this will also be public but you can provide details about your talk. A lot of reviewers will also judge if this is a good talk by the description provided. You should put the most effort into the description. It is not only for the reviewers, it would also be useful when your talk is selected and you have to prepare your talk for real. This is how I do it:
When I write the description of my talk, I already have an idea of how I will give my talk, I will talk about what I am going to talk about first, then what next, and how I would end the talk. I will also explain what knowledge is required for the audiences and what are the takeaways for the audiences. On top of that, I will also write an outline of the talk in the description, using the outline I can easily create the structure for my slide deck when I need to prepare to give the talk.
 This is an introduction about you in 3rd person. This will be made public, think of it as how you want someone to introduce you on stage. It doesn’t need to be long, a short paragraph will do.
Besides the title, abstract and description of your talk, you may be asked about other things. These vary from conference to conference. One last thing, if you are a speaker from the under-represented group, state it in the extra session (only visible by the organisers and/ or the reviewers). Some conferences may want to ensure a diverse representation of speakers and this will help them to decide while selecting the talks.
Becoming a reviewer
Mentioned above are just how I do it, there are many ways that you can write a good proposal, another way to learn how to write good proposals is to volunteer to be reviewers to different conferences. There you can understand more about the talk selection process and you can see for yourself what is a good proposal and what is not.
What if I am not selected?
It happens all the time! Even for experienced speakers, rejections can happen sometimes. It is not because you have written a bad proposal, it may be there are many submission that is very similar to your topics, it may be the topic you have chosen does not have enough interest in this particular community, it can be anything!
If you want to get feedback on your proposal, you may ask the organisers. It is not common for conferences to give feedback to every single proposal (as there are many!) and sometimes it is impossible to provide specific feedback to your proposal even if you ask. But it is no harm trying if you want to get feedback on your proposal, just don’t expect you will get feedback every time you submitted a proposal.
So what’s next? Submit to another event! As I mentioned before, it is not because you have written a bad proposal. If you have got feedback, that’s great! You can review your proposal and submit it to another event and try again.
What if I am selected?
Congratulation! You are going to be speaking at this conference that you like. You must feel excited but worried at the same time. Take a deep breath, usually the organisers will also send over a speaker guide. Give it a good read and check what you, as a speaker, need to prepare at different times. Sometimes organisers will require certain materials to be sent over ahead of time. Check the technical requirement to give you a talk and be prepared.
How to prepare my slide decks?
Next, you will have to prepare the slides and other materials for your talk. You can use any software for your slides - some people prefer Google Slides, some prefer reveal.js, and some prefer pdf. Up to you! As long as it works technically (check the speaker guide or with the organisers). For creating the slide deck, use the outline that you have written in your proposal to guide you. Avoid putting too much on one side so it looks too busy, remember, less is more.
You may want to put down some speaker notes to help yourself while giving the talk. Avoid putting the whole speech there, putting it down as point forms would be a better idea. It will be easier to refer to if you forgot what you want to say. You may want to practice and test your talk with someone. It may be good to get some feedback from a friend or mentor but I know it may not always be possible. I think practice giving it and seeing if it works within the time limit is still a good preparation so you should try giving your talk at least to a rubber duck as a practice.
How to ask audience questions during your talk?
I made it a habit to ask one question on the first few slides of my talk. This will “wake the audience” up because it passed the attention back to themselves. It can be as simple as asking: “Have you heard of X, give me a show of hands”. Then you can comment about it briefly (e.g. “So not many of you know”, “Oh you already know, but I am going to tell you anyway”) and move on. The key here is to move on no matter what the outcome is. The outcome of this question should not change what you are going to present next.
Prepare what you are going to say in both outcomes, so you can be real when you comment on it. This is much better than presuming an outcome because if it turns out the other way you will be thrown off guard (audiences can be unpredictable) and it feels weird saying something that is not true.
What about demos?
For some presentations, it may be suitable to have code demos. As a new speaker, I would avoid doing a live demo, as many things can go wrong in a live demo. Imagine there are 100 pairs of eyes watching you type, the stress and pressure will make you suddenly unable to type and see properly and there will be typos that you cannot find and bugs that you cannot solve on the spot. The workaround is to record the demo (there is various screen capture software that is free) and play it as a video during the talk - I am not suggesting faking it - but you can openly show a recorded demo instead of a live one. It’s ok and no one is going to think it’s not a good talk because the demo is not live.
Note: for anyone who what to do a live LLM demo, if you know the result is going to be unpredictable, please do a recorded demo instead of a live demo to make sure the content generated does not violate the CoC. It is generated by a trained model does not mean that you are not responsible for what is shown.
The big day
During the day of giving your talk, if there are organised sessions to do a tech check, please do that. If there is not, you may ask the organisers or the volunteer that is responsible for your session when you can do a tech check. The last thing that you want is to have to solve technical problems the first few minutes of your talk, this creates extra stress for presenting. If you need audio output e.g. playing a video with audio in your talk, please make sure to check that as it is more complicated than a talk with no audio output.
Remember to bring some water with you on stage, usually the organisers will have some water for the speakers but in case they don’t have it, you can use your water bottle. You cannot believe how many times I forgot and wish that I have some water with me while on stage! You may have a dry throw towards the end of the talk (I had a bad cough during my talk a few times), or you can use “drinking some water” as a buffer if you need to catch your train of thought or need to quickly glimpse your speaker notes as you forgot what’s next. Remember water is your best ally while being on stage. Don’t be shy to drink water when needed, it looks natural on stage and it will give both you and the audience time to have a break.
How about Q & A?
You don’t always have to take questions while you are on stage! If you don’t feel comfortable answering questions in front of the audience, you can prepare the talk a bit longer so it includes the time for Q&A (usually the last 5 minutes of your session). Let the volunteer who is responsible for your session know in advance that you will not take questions on stage, instead, ask the audience to find you later. You can say you will be outside of the room after your talk or you will be at a certain place during the next coffee break. I think for new speakers, this may be the better option as the audience’s question is another unknown and can be tricky to handle sometimes.
If you are brave enough to handle questions, there are a few tips for you:
-
You presented a talk doesn’t mean that you have to know everything, it’s ok to say “I don’t know”. If you are not sure about something, you can say “I am not sure”. Try not to give wrong information.
-
If the question asked is not genuine and makes you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer it. I am advocating for the session chair should be given the power to intervene if the questions asked are not genuine and audiences should be reminded about asking genuine questions. But, if it happens, you can say “I don’t get your question, how about we talk about this afterwards outside” and move on to the next question.
Where can I find help?
So, after reading this post, you want to become a speaker but still think that it would be nice to have more help. Where can you find help?
Since I cannot mentor everyone, I have created various speaker mentorship programs with various events. One of them is EuroPython. This is now run by volunteers and you can find more resources about how to become a good speaker, it is a community that helps each other. You may also apply to get paired with a mentor.
If you are organising events and want to set up similar programs, I am happy to see how I can help. Please get in touch via Twitter or LinkedIn

September 2022 Status Update
It’s the first Tuesday of every month, meaning your latest starbeam.one status update is here. Let’s begin!
Finishing Tasks
The past few weeks have been really focused on the Administration Application, which can be viewed as a CMS application around the entire starbeam.one system. I wanted a way to quickly jump through all the different entities of the system and I am pleased to say that I finally have a first version that I am happy with using.
It’s not perfect, but it’s “perfect enough” which is sort of my mantra these days with software development. There have been a few times already I have asked myself a question about something and was able to track it down using the this application, so it’s already yielding some positive results. As with any application, it could use some improvements, but for now it will do.
Take a Midjourney with Me
With the Administration Application out of the way, I can move onto the big news, which is that I have started to integrate artificial intelligence art via Midjourney, and the results have been beyond impressive and even game-changing for me.
Now all my covers and backgrounds for all my products featured on starbeam.one are created via artificial intelligence. This not only takes the quality to another level (while still retaining the same low prices), but saves me so much time and effort in producing product. I am beyond elated with this development!
Onboarding the First Artist
But that’s not all, I am very pleased to announced that I have onboarded my first artist on starbeam.one: ImAIgin. Please check them out and maybe purchase a license (or two? 😁).
ImAIgin hails from India and it is more than exciting to be able to connect with artists across the world and feature their work. In this case, ImAIgin also features AI-generated work, so if you are into that please check out their marketplace!
What’s Next?
There’s a lot of activity in my world right now, and to be honest it has been incredibly difficult to focus on features. Most of my time has been making sure that the site is operating as expected and addressing any bugs that may arise.
However, this next month will be spent on user-account improvements. The highest priority is to enforce email addresses for each account. When I launched in February as a preview, my approach was to make email more of an optional requirement than a required one. After all, each account is OAuth2-based. However, it has become clear since then that e-mail addresses are required for not only support (duh) but also to contact and notify users for when new products are produced.
(And also, our newsletter!)
Stand-up & Shine (& Shill)
That’s it for this month’s update here on this blog. More details – many more details! – can be found in the latest Stand-up & Shine (& Shill), seen below:
Until next time, stay bright out there. ✌ ✨


The problems we have can be classified into two broad categories:
1. The information related to RiceApps on the current website is not accessible and organized enough. We need to add new information that consists of:2. The current website does not reflect the identity of RiceApps in a unique way. We need to improve the design of the website by:1) Ongoing
projects
with relevantsources
2) Information on club's
student body
3) Other CS related
opportunities
,activities
, ororganizations
1) Eliminating information other than
navigation bar
andlogo
on ourhomepage
.2) Having a
cleaner
and moredistinctive
design for the homepage.3) Having a few
theme colors
for the whole site.4) Creating some
interactive features
.
1.
Prospective students
looking to gain information about RiceApps2.
Current students
interested in ongoing CS relatedprojects/events/opportunities
3.
Employers
interested in RiceApps projects
We will be specifically targetting at current Rice students interested in ongoing CS related projects/events/opportunities. Catering to this group's needs first, we will then try to diversify and include our other target users, namely employers and prospective students.
One of the most important information we need to have on our website is RiceApps vision and mission statement. It is the first thing those who have no knowledge of RiceApps will be looking for when they open our website and it tells people the reason RiceApps is founded and its short and long-term goals.
Besides that, additional information such as achievements and history of the club can be added to give people a more comprehensive idea of RiceApps.
After having a basic idea of what RiceApps is, students might care most about the projects club members are doing. For each project, the website should involve relevant information on:
1. The purpose of conducting this project and some general descriptions, in other words, reasons of developing this application or disadvantages of the current application.
2. Team leaders and team members.
3. Sources/links/references for those who want to check the technical details of the project.
4. The evolution process of the project in case that anyone is curious of how the project, starting from little, has come this far.
5. Images related to the project.
For people who have questions or suggestions for RiceApps, or those who want to cooperate with RiceApps, a page with contact information is necessary. Useful information includes address of RiceApps, chairs’ emails and phone numbers, and a suggestion box.
For students who have general questions or want to join RiceApps, a FAQ page might be helpful.
1. Information regarding how to apply for RiceApps.
2. Information regarding how to submit the projects that people want us to do.
3. Other General questions and answers.
1. Instead of having a one-page website, we will design a more flexible website that have multiple pages.
2. In order to make the website look cooler and more like a technology site, we are going to have a white or black canvas and implement more interactive features like animations.
To show the identity of RiceApps better, there will only be two things on our homepage: the navigation bar and the logo of RiceApps.
The navigation bar will lead the viewers to five separate pages: About Us Page, Projects Page, Events Page, Contact Us Page, and FAQ Page.
These subpages are going to include a blockquote commenting on Rice Apps.
- Projects will be displayed as tiles on this page. When users hover on these tiles, they can change into cooler shapes.
- Each project will have its name, image, short descriptions, and a link to its own page on its tile.
- For the separate pages for each projects, we will have
descriptions(namely, why are we doing this project?), team members’ names, images and emails, external links and sources, technology the project involves, a timeline showing the evolving process of the project, images of this project.
- Suggestion bar
- Google maps for the location of RiceApps
- Chair email and phone number
- RiceApps email

The integral form of Ampere's law is:
$$ \oint \mathbf{B.dl} = \mu_0 I$$
Ampere's law states that when a loop is placed around a current carrying wire, the integral of the magnetic
field
around the loop is equal to $\mu_{0}$ multiplied by the current enclosed. If you add a loop in the
visualisation
on the right then you can see, by clicking and dragging wires into and out of the loop, that this is true.
When there are wires near to, but outside of a loop, there is flux into and out of the loop however the
average
flux is zero which means the total integral is zero. You can see how the magnetic flux varies around the
loop
in the plot shown. The reason for this can be seen by placing a wire just outside a circular loop; in this
scenario dl is in the same direction of the field for about half of the loop, and opposite to the field for
the
other half.
Consider an infinitely long current-carrying wire. Recall the integral form of static Ampere's law
$$\oint \textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} = \mu_0 I_{enclosed},$$and construct a circular Amperian loop (Amp loop). The loop encloses the wire. The magnetic field generated by the wire is circular with a constant magnitude at a given distance $r$. Hence,
$$ \displaystyle \textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} = |\textbf{B}||\textbf{dl}|\cos(\theta)= B dl $$as the magnetic field aligns with the loop. The integral can be performed and equation for the magnetic field strength $B$ can be derived.
$$ \int B dl = 2\pi r B= \mu_0 I_{enclosed}. $$Hence,
$$ B = \frac{\mu_0 I_{enclosed}}{2 \pi r}. $$The direction in which the magnetic field rotates can be confirmed by using the Ampère's right-hand grip rule. Note that the magnetic field strength falls off with distance from the wire. You can confirm this using the visualisation on the Right.
A solenoid can be approximated as a series of circular loops of current with fixed separation. In this model, the solenoid is aligned such that we can consider the current flowing into and out of the screen. Now consider a rectangular Amperian loop (Amp loop). The Amp loop can be split into four straight lines. This allows the closed integral of static Ampere's law into four integral representing the four straight lines.
The diagram shows this Amp loop. The length and the alignment of the sides are chosen to simplify the integral: Side $2$ and $4$ align perpendicularly to the direction of the magnetic field, hence $\textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} =0 $. Side $3$ is positioned at $r=\infty$, hence $|\textbf{B}|=0$.
$\displaystyle \oint \textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} = \int_{a}^{b} \textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} + \int_{b}^{c} \underbrace{\textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl}}_\text{=0} + \int_{c}^{d} \underbrace{\textbf{B}}_\text{=0} \cdot \textbf{dl} + \int_{d}^{a} \underbrace{\textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl}}_\text{=0}.$Hence,
$\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} \textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} = BL=\mu_0 I_{enclosed}=\mu_0 N I,$where $L=b-a$, $N$ is the number of current loops enclosed in the loop, and $I$ is the current through each current loop. Rearranging gives the equation for the magnetic field strength within the solenoid.
$$ B = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{L}=\mu_0 n I, $$where $n$ is the number density of the current loops, meaning the number of current loops in a unit length of the solenoid. Note that the magnetic field strength is constant within the solenoid. You can confirm this by using the visualisation on the right. Keep in mind that the side outside the solenoid does not go off to infinity, however you can see how quickly the magnetic field falls off with distance. The arrow moving around the Amp loop in the visualisation represent the resultant magnetic field's magnitude and direction, $\textbf{B}$, NOT $\textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl}$.
A toroid is simply a solenoid formed into a loop ( a loop of loops!). To calculate the magnetic field strength generated, a circular Amperian loop (Amp loop) is used to evaluated the three regions of the toroid.
At the centre and outside of the toroid, the net current enclosed is zero, therefore based on static Ampere's law, $|\textbf{B}|$ the magnetic field strength is zero. Within the toroid,
$\displaystyle \oint \textbf{B} \cdot \textbf{dl} = \oint Bdl = 2\pi rB = \mu_0 I_{enclosed},$as the magnetic field within the toroid aligns with the Amp loop. Hence,
$\displaystyle B = \frac{\mu_0 I_{enclosed}}{2\pi r} = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{2\pi r} = \frac{\mu_0 (nL) I}{2\pi r},$where $n(=N/L)$ is the number density of the current loops, $L$ is the circumference of the toroid, and $N$ is the number of current loops enclosed in the Amp loop. In the approximation that the radius of each current loop in the toroid is negligible compared to the radius of the Amp loop, we can assume
$\displaystyle L \approx 2 \pi r.$Hence,
$\displaystyle B = \mu_0 n I$which is the same equation that was derived for the solenoid. You can confirm this by using the visualisation on the right. Keep in mind that the visualisation calculates the net magnetic field generated at the point the arrow is. Hence there is a small variation from the theory when that approximation is not applied ( ie. the radius of the current loops is comparable to the radius of the Amp loop. Also note the change in the direction of the magnetic field when the Amp loop is slightly out of region B. You can confirm the direction using the Ampère's right-hand grip rule.

The term "user-centric" identity is getting bandied about a lot these days. It's generally understood to be a different way of expressing the entire identity transaction as opposed to what might be called the "enterprise-centric" approach traditionally used within provisionin...


This series is to record my SmartNode journey. This is very much a high-risk experimental act and I’m prepared to lose all the fund invested. Do your own research as this is not a financial advice.
This feels like an eternity
After setting up the SmartNode 24 days ago, finally I got to see this sweet notification in the morning. It has been so long that I have almost forgotten how everything was started.
I wasn’t aware of the initial waiting time before setting up the node.  Luckily the incoming project update will reduce this period down to 4 days. I’m particularly sure about the exact new period but this will be a great news to many.
I’ve talked about the @smartbot on previous post and if @smartbot was meant to tip everyone who contributes to SmartCash on Steem platform, the next bot I’m going to talk about is a must to have for all the node owners.
I can’t run the node without SmartNodeMonitor
The biggest reason I’m using it is the ability to do what the bot name suggests it would do, monitor your running nodes. If you are not aware, all it take is 1 hour of downtime to completely wipe out your waiting time and start all over again for the next reward payment. If it happens in the initial waiting period which is easily almost a month long, it would spell disaster.
SmartNodeMonitor helps by ping-ing the registered node every few minute and make sure it is still online. If the ping result is negative for more than 30 minutes, it will warns you to take further action to make things right.
Following I will use a few screenshots to explain what this bot can do and my journey of waiting for the first reward.
/detail
is my most used command through the waiting period. It will show everything about the node and the most one will be taking note was the Position Initial wait time. This command was taken after my node was running after 2 days and you can see the remaining waiting time is about 17 days but this is not true.
Due to the queue jumping mechanism, other nodes will jump in front of you from time to time and the countdown timer will sometimes moving backward. I will demonstrate further in the later screenshots.
Fast forward to 3 weeks later, you can tell how long it has lapsed by looking at the Active since...
, it was 23 days already instead of the originally suggested 19 days. This extension is understandable as more nodes are joining the network and the difficulty will only goes up.
And finally I can see the countdown timer in Hour unit instead of the never-ending Day.
When your node finally made to the top 10% out of total running SmartNode, it shows Payout Zone
and I thought that was the most beautiful text I’ve been reading in a while. Being in the payout zone means that you have the chance to get paid anytime. The system would randomly pick randomly from the top 10% node for awarding. According to the info
command, the worst case it could take some days.
Lucky for me, I’ve got mine within 6 hours during my sleep as shown in the first picture.
SmartNodeMonitor is more than just a monitoring bot but I’ve learnt a lot of useful facts via commands like faq
and info
. It provides real-time information like how many nodes are running in the network, average waiting time to reach payout zone, and much more. Go through all the commands if you can. This bot is available on Discord and Telegram with username @SmartNodeMonitorBot
.
After all, definitely feeling great to receive the 290 SMART reward especially the painfully long waiting time. The future rewards will be about after 10 days including the random waiting time within payout zone. Sunshine!

IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 7.2
Date Released: 7/29/94 Running Length: 1:51 Rated: PG (Language, mature themes)
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda, Rosie Perez, Wendell Pierce, Isaac Hayes, Stanley Tucci Director: Andrew Bergman Producer: Mike Lobell Screenplay: Jane Anderson Cinematography: Caleb Deschanel Music: Carter Burwell Released by TriStar Pictures
Those with a cynical bent will not enjoy IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU. If you don't like happy endings, think Christmas is just for kids, and feel vaguely ill while watching IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, you would do well to stay away from this movie. On the other hand, if you're looking for a late summer, "feel good" romantic comedy, there aren't too many around more affable than this one.
Depth is one thing this film does not have, nor is it especially strong in the originality department. It's easy to predict what's going to happen, especially for those who have seen IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, from which IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU borrows heavily (with Rosie Perez taking on the Lionel Barrymore role!).
As every summer is plagued by a new offering from Pauly Shore, so there's at least one romance. Often, while not a great motion picture, it's good enough to capture some favorable reviews and positive word-of-mouth. In 1993, the title was SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. This year, if the public finds the attraction between Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda to be irresistible, it may be IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
Charlie Lang (Nicolas Cage) is a New York cop, and a genuinely nice guy--so nice, in fact, that when he doesn't have the change to tip his coffee shop waitress Yvonne (Bridget Fonda), he promises to split his winnings from a lottery ticket with her--if he wins, that is. Yvonne, who is having a bad day (she declared bankruptcy before coming to work), doesn't give the offer a second thought--until Charlie returns the next day with the news that he's $4 million richer. Despite the pleadings of his wife Muriel (Rosie Perez) to "stiff" the waitress, Charlie lets his conscience guide him, and sticks to his promise.
Love is in the air, as the old John Paul Young tune goes. You know from the beginning that Charlie and Yvonne are going to get together. If you can't figure that out, you've probably gone to the wrong movie. The chemistry between Fonda and Cage is tangible--not the sultry, sexy kind that often characterizes boy-meets-girl stories, but something cuter and more fanciful.
Often, relationships in romantic comedies are contentious. Not so in IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU. Charlie and Yvonne are two kind-hearted people who don't yell at each other. Instead, all scenes of conflict are reserved for vain, gold-digging Muriel, who begrudges Charlie every penny he gives away. She's the obvious villain of the piece, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU's version of Mr. Potter.
I'm not sure if Rosie Perez does a great job of acting or not, but her character is really, really annoying. The word "shrill" doesn't begin to do her justice.  Screeeeeeeeech!
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU is the most inoffensive of motion pictures, and that's precisely where the core of its charm lies. Other than a little suspension of disbelief, it doesn't demand a heavy investment from its audience. Of course, you have to enjoy this sort of movie to appreciate its appeal. If you do, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU will convince you that the magic of Frank Capra isn't dead in Hollywood after all.

Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott To receive reviews by e-mail at no charge, send subscription requests to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>When trying to determine how best to describe "Clay Pigeons," the image of a Dennis Miller performance comes to mind. Generally, Miller makes his stage entrance displaying supreme confidence, half ambling and half swaggering his way to the microphone. Then he lets rip with a torrent of dazzling verbal creativity. Adroitly juggling observations and indictments, with accents from his vast personal warehouse of arcane pop references, Miller's presentation style announces "I'm smart, hip and right, and so are you, if you're able to keep up with me."
After a few minutes of watching Miller, though, you begin to notice other things. He's extremely mannered, without a hint of spontaneity.  And, beneath his exalted moral righteousness, he's often just as mean as the villains against which he rails so mightily. Typically, Miller ends his rants by saying "Or maybe it's just me," but he's only being facetious, using the catch-phrase as an easy way to wrap up the show. As much as I enjoy Dennis Miller, his performances usually leave me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Which brings us to "Clay Pigeons." This darkly humorous tale about murder in a small Montana town starts off with a knockout punch, daring to take a classic film noir storyline and place it outdoors in bright sunlight. Combining bold camerawork, brazen situations and a terrific soundtrack, the film quickly establishes its stance as smart and hip, aiming for that post-modern cinematic playground occupied by the likes of the Coen brothers.
It all rolls along smoothly for a while, but then you begin to notice things. When a woman gets backhanded early in the story, the filmmakers make sure we understand that she deserved it. Later, a woman gets stabbed to death in a scene filmed so stylishly that the violence seems almost pornographic. Like most noir thrillers, our hero is a hapless type whose poor judgment lands him in a heap of trouble, but these filmmakers clearly have far more affection for the villain than the victims. Ultimately, this mannered, disdainful work rewards viewers with an lazy ending and a bitter aftertaste.
The story begins when Clay Bidwell (Joaquin Phoenix) goes out shooting with his best friend Earl (Gregory Sporleder). In a burst of emotion, Earl angrily informs Clay that he's aware of his friend's ongoing affair with his wife, Amanda (Georgina Cates). Abruptly, Earl turns the gun on himself, intending to exact revenge by framing Clay for his "murder." A stunned Clay disposes of Earl's body and tries to break off contact with Amanda, but the sultry widow, totally unfazed by her husband's death, is determined to continue the affair. When Clay resists her advances and takes up with another woman, he soon finds himself with an additional corpse to dispose of.
In-between fatalities, Clay makes friends with the charismatic Lester Long (Vince Vaughn), a drifter hanging around the sleepy Montana town. They take off for a fishing trip on the lake where Clay dumped corpse number two and, to the ominous strains of "Dueling Banjos" from the film "Deliverance," a body rises from the murky depths. Enter the FBI, led by bright-eyed, sharp-tongued agent Dale Shelby (Janeane Garofalo), on the trail of a serial killer who specializes in women. Suddenly, Clay finds himself the prime suspect in a string of murders.
In addition to its clever presentation style, "Clay Pigeons" boasts a number of stand-out performances. Vince Vaughn is electric as Lester Long, an imposing figure comfortable even when striding in public wearing only his briefs. Lester is a man who leans in a little too close while talking and relishes being overly familiar with anyone he meets. You'll remember him and his nervous giggle long after leaving the theater.
Janeane Garofalo is wonderful as the caustic, but deeply humane Agent Shelby, brightening the grim proceedings with her understated wit. Phil Morris is effective as her stoic co-worker, a man of few words whose facial expressions more than make up for his relative silence, and Scott Wilson (one of the killers from "In Cold Blood") scores as the laconic Sheriff Mooney. In the lead role, Joaquin Phoenix is adequate, if overly flat in his delivery.
After a great beginning, "Clay Pigeons" grows more forced with each new outlandish twist, as the film's carefully crafted tension slowly unravels. The story eventually sputters to an unsatisfying end with a denouement that feels perfunctory at best.
The bottom line is that sadism and death are punchlines in "Clay Pigeons" and we're expected to play along, else we jeopardize our status as smart, hip filmgoers. While the production offers sharply drawn characters, a powerhouse cast, some great deadpan one-liners, exceptional music and robust visuals, there is an underlying nastiness that becomes increasingly difficult to tolerate as the film goes on. "Clay Pigeons" is hip at the expense of its humanity, and that's more nihilism than I'm willing to embrace.

PSALMS 128
A psalm written for those going up to the temple to worship.
1 How fortunate are you who have an awesome respect for him
and do what he wants you to do.
2 You will be able to enjoy the food you provide yourself with;
you will be fortunate and prosperous.
3 Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes;
she will give birth to many children.
Your children who sit around your table;
you will be like a strong olive tree that has many shoots growing up around it.
4 Like that, Yahweh will bless every man who has an awesome respect for him.
5 I wish that God in his temple on Mount Zion may help you greatly,
and that you will see the people of Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!
6 I wish that you may live many years
and that you may have grandchildren and be able to see them.
I wish that things may go well for people in Israel!

Information Technology used in Library
Today’s hottest web and mobile technologies are offering libraries a new world of opportunities to engage patrons. Ultra-popular social media websites and apps combined with the availability of affordable cloud-based services and the evolution and adoption of mobile devices are enabling librarians to share and build communities, store and analyze large collections of data, create digital collections, and access information and services in ways never thought about before.
Libraries have become technology leaders by integrating cutting-edge tools to enhance users’ experience. It’s not enough to redesign the library website. Best practices mean developing user personas and following usability strategies to produce user-informed designs. New digital collections are stored in the cloud and mobile applications are developed around them. Libraries are claiming their venues on location-based mobile social networks, developing bleeding-edge augmented reality applications, and participating in semantic web efforts.


New bugtracking and feature requests database
-
Greg Hurrell
As described here, the old bug tracking database based on the phpBugTracker software has been retired from bugs.wincent.org, and replaced with a new Bugzilla installation at bugs.wincent.com. I'm hoping that we can all use it to make things more efficient and streamline the process of identifying the causes of bugs and of gauging interest in proposed feature additions.

Frequently Asked Questions¶
Logistics¶
Where is the course website?¶
The course website is here. The website has links to the resources for the course.
- Where is the course syllabus?
Syllabus is here.
When does the course begin?¶
First class is on January 28th, 2019 (Monday) in Cooke 121.
What are the other resources I should be aware of?¶
The course website has links to all the resources that we will be using during the course. We will be using Piazza for all communications and announcements, TopHat for in-class discussions, and Gradiance for the weekly quizzes. The UBLearns system will be used to manage assignment submissions and grades. The slides and handouts (for printing) are available here. We have also prepared a glossary of terms that you can refer to.
We will be using Python as the primary programming language. We will use Jupyter Notebooks for in-class demonstrations. The notebooks are available here. You can also check out the notebooks to your personal computers from Github.
What do I need to do before class starts?¶
Sign-up for Piazza (if you do not have an account aready) and enroll into the CSE 474 class.
Confirm that the class shows up in your UBLearns account.
Create an account on Gradiance.
Note
Make sure that you use your UBIT name as the user id. Gradiance requires the user name to be at least 6 characters. If your UBIT name has less than 6 characters, pad it with the required number of Xs to make it 6 character long. For example, if your UBIT name is jliu, your Gradiance username should be jliuxx.
Add the CSE 474 class on Gradiance using this token 3B8E5F3B. Will be available on Jan 28th at 9.00 AM.
Confirm that you have a TopHat account and that you are able to access the CSE 474 class in TopHat. You should be automatically enrolled into TopHat before the class begins.
How do I contact the instructors?¶
Best way is through Piazza. You may send a private or a public message, depending on the nature of the query. Direct email to instructors might not get handled in time.
Content¶
What will I learn in this course?¶
You will learn the fundamental concepts necessary to understand any Machine Learning algorithm. At the same time, we will also go deep into some key ML algorithms, but the objective would be to understand the foundational aspects of ML through these algorithms, and not learning how to use the algorithm itself. We will be looking at both supervised and unsupervised learning settings.
What will I not learn in this course?¶
Due to the limited time, we will not be able to cover many ML algorithms that you might have heard of, e.g., decision trees, convolutional neural networks (though we will look at simpler neural networks). We will also not look at reinforcement learning. At the same time, this course is not about teaching how to use a certain library or a tool. You will learn how to build such tools from scratch.
How important is Math in this course?¶
Very important. In fact, this course is one of the most math intensive course in the undergraduate CSE program. By the second class (Wednesday), we will be deriving a solution for the minimization of an objective function of a vector variable. Similarily, I will assume a strong background in Probability and Statistics.
What linear algebra topics do I need to know before the class starts?¶
Some of these topics will be covered in-class and during the recitation sections, but it would be good to brush up on these before the class starts. Also, refer to glossary for the notation that we will follow in the class:
Matrix-vector product, matrix-matrix product, vector-vector dot product, vector-vector cross product
Special matrices: Identity, diagonal, symmetric, matrix transpose
Matrix operations: trace, norms (of vectors and matrices), linear independence and rank of a matrix, orthogonal matrices, matrix determinant, quadratic form, eigendecomposition of a matrix
Matrix calculus: Gradient of a function, Hessian, Gradients and Hessians of a quadratic function
Attendance¶
Is in-class attendance mandatory?¶
5% of the total grade will be for class participation. This means responding to the questions asked in the class through TopHat. While the class videos will be posted (almost) immediately after the class, I would strongly recommend against relying on the videos to understand the material.
Gradiance¶
What is Gradiance?¶
Gradiance is an online quiz taking system. We will be using that to administer weekly quizzes. Check the syllabus for the exact schedule.
How do I enroll?¶
Sign-up here.
Warning
Make sure you use your UBIT name as your username. Any other accounts will be deleted!
After creating your account, add the class using token 3B8E5F3B.
How does it work?¶
Every week one quiz will be available on Monday morning at 9.00 AM and will be due the next Sunday at 11.59 PM.
Each quiz will contain 4-5 problems on topics covered that week.
Each problem will have multiple choices, with only one correct answer.
At the end of a submission, the system will give you hints for problems that you answer incorrectly.
There will be a 5 minute between successive tries.
Maximum 3 tries are allowed.
Every wrong answer will result in one negative point.
A practice quiz will be posted in the first week.
Piazza¶
What do I need Piazza for?¶
We will use Piazza as our primary medium of communication. Students with questions can post on Piazza (either private or public). Additionally, it will be used as a discussion forum to have discussions among students and instructors regarding various course aspects.
Why should I be active on Piazza?¶
It is well-documented that student led discussions on Piazza result in much better learning outcomes compared to a single-direction discourse.
Note
The top contributor (questions or answers) on Piazza will get “recognized”.
Assignments¶
What will the assignments entail¶
The course consists of three programming assignments. Assignments will be done in groups of 3. Tentative topics are:
Assignment 1 - Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine implementation.
Assignment 2 - Neural Network implementation.
Assignment 3 - Linear and kernel regression implementation.
What programming language will be used?¶
We will be using Python as the programming language for the assignments. We will be using the Python 3.x version. Note that if you are using Python 2.x, you might run into issues.
What if I do not know Python?¶
We will have a couple of recitation sessions to introduce you to Python. However, I will strongly advise you to checkout resources on the web to get started on learning Python, something that will help you in future too.

MSNBC analyst: Trump impeachment hearing gave me 'patriotic goosebumps'
by Joseph WulfsohnAn MSNBC commentator expressed his giddiness Wednesday over the first public impeachment hearing into President Trump, saying how it gave him "patriotic goosebumps."
U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor and State Department official George Kent were the first witnesses to offer their testimony in the open Wednesday and were grilled for several hours over their knowledge of Trump's conduct with Ukraine.
During a panel discussion on "Hardball," MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner didn't hold back on how much he enjoyed the hearing.
"I love all of the facts and I love an overarching story, an inclusive tale being told by heroes like Bill Taylor," Kirschner said. "I get patriotic goosebumps listening to that guy."
CNN ANALYST: IT'S A 'PROBLEM' FOR DEMS THAT IMPEACHMENT WITNESSES NEVER MET TRUMP
Kirschner claimed what took place between Trump and Ukraine was "arms for political dirt" on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and dismissed the president's assertion that he had a "perfect call" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a "lie."
CNN's legal analyst, however, pointed out a "problem" Democrats have from Thursday's hearing.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
"The one criticism of these two witnesses, which I think is very much legitimate -- it's not really a criticism, it's a factual statement, is that neither of them had direct contact with the president," CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said.
"Ever," CNN anchor Jake Tapper stressed.
"Ever," Toobin responded. "And, that's a problem if you're going to impeach the president."

Our Security group defined on the wordpress/wordpress-single-instance.yaml
file on line 141 is too permissive because we have a range of ports open. Let’s narrow the range to only the one port we need for Wordpress to work. In the code sample below, you will note the Security Group resource restricts to only port 80.
WebServerSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:
GroupDescription: "Enable HTTP access via port 80 locked down to the load balancer + SSH access"
VpcId: "default-vpc"
SecurityGroupIngress:
- CidrIp: <IP_ADDRESS>/0
FromPort: 80
IpProtocol: tcp
ToPort: 80
Commit the changes and push it to CodeCommit:
git add wordpress/wordpress-single-instance.yaml
git commit -m "Closed down SG to port 80"
git push AWSCodeCommit master
The cfn-nag
tool parses a collection of CloudFormation templates and applies rules to find code patterns that could lead to insecure infrastructure. The results of the tool include the logical resource identifiers for violating resources and an explanation of what rule has been violated.
While there are quite a number of particular rules the tool will attempt to match, the rough categories are:
All the rules are considered either warnings or failures. Any discovered failures will result in a non-zero exit code, while warnings will not. In the context of a delivery pipeline, cfn-nag
should likely stop the pipeline in the case it finds failures, but perhaps not stop the pipeline in the case of just warnings.
Which rules are considered warnings and which are considered errors is a little “loose” or subjective.
The cfn-nag tool includes rules that apply universally across environments and enterprises (you can still filter which ones you want to suppress). That said, the product supports the development of custom rules to allow enterprise-specific rules for compliance and security controls.
However, the execution is still failing. There is one thing left to solve. Can you guess what the problem is?

Context¶
The context is one of the three major components of Miruken. The other two major components being the protocol and the handler.
In this example we are simply creating a new context:
namespace Example.MirukenExamples.Context
{
using Miruken.Context;
public class CreatingAContext
{
public Context Context { get; set; }
public CreatingAContext()
{
Context = new Context();
}
}
}
At the simplest level a context is a collection of handlers.
Here we are instantiating handlers and adding them to the context:
namespace Example.MirukenExamples.Context
{
using Miruken.Context;
public class AContextWithHandlerInstances
{
public Context Context { get; set; }
public AContextWithHandlerInstances()
{
Context = new Context();
Context.AddHandlers(new SomeHandler(), new AnotherHandler());
}
}
}
You can also rely on a container to create the handler instances. We like to use Castle Windsor, but as you can see by this example you can use any container you want. All you need is a handler in the context that implements IContainer and it will create the handler instances for you. My simple container here just instantiates instances and returns them.
namespace Example.MirukenExamples.Context
{
using System;
using Miruken.Callback;
using Miruken.Concurrency;
using Miruken.Container;
using Miruken.Context;
public class RelyingOnAContainerToResolveHandlers
{
public Context Context { get; set; }
public RelyingOnAContainerToResolveHandlers()
{
Context = new Context();
Context
.AddHandlers(new ContainerHandler())
.AddHandler<SomeHandler>()
.AddHandler<AnotherHandler>();
}
}
public class ContainerHandler: Handler, IContainer
{
public T Resolve<T>()
{
return (T) Resolve(typeof(T));
}
private object Resolve(Type type)
{
if (type == typeof(SomeHandler))
return new SomeHandler();
if (type == typeof(AnotherHandler))
return new AnotherHandler();
throw new ArgumentException("Unknown type");
}
...
Hierarchical¶
Contexts are also hierarchical. They have a context graph witch mean they know their parent and can create children.
In this example we use the CreateChild() method to create a child context from an existing context:
namespace Example.MirukenExamples.Context
{
using Miruken.Context;
public class CreatingAChildContext
{
public IContext Parent { get; set; }
public IContext Child { get; set; }
public CreatingAChildContext()
{
Parent = new Context();
Child = Parent.CreateChild();
}
}
}
Context Traversal¶
Context traversal is the concept of finding a handler for a message in the current context graph.
SelfOrAncestor is the default TraversingAxis which means that when Miruken is trying to handle a message it starts with the current context. If the current context cannot handle the message, the message will be passed to the parent to be handled. There are several other TraversingAxis. You can see them all described below.
