How do you top an almond croissant? Add a shot of tart, pink raspberry powder. Perfect with a latte on a Sunday morning.
Prepare the chilled butter by placing it between two sheets of greaseproof paper and banging with a rolling pin until you have a 8x15cm/3¼x6in rectangle about 1cm/½in thick. Put this back in the fridge.
Place the room temperature butter, strong white flour, powdered milk, caster sugar, salt and 150ml/5½fl oz water into the bowl of a freestanding mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on a low setting until combined. Pour in the yeast and continue to mix on low speed for five minutes, then turn up the speed to medium and continue mixing for another 5-7 minutes.
Tip the dough out of the bowl and bring it together into a smooth ball, then place in a greased, non-metallic bowl and set aside, covered, for 15 minutes.
Transfer the bowl to the microwave and heat at 100 watts for six minutes then leave to rest for another 10 minutes. Alternatively, prove the dough in a warm room for a further 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Tip the risen dough out onto a worktop then roll out into a 18x25cm/7x10in rectangle about 1cm/½in thick.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, cover with cling film and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Remove the dough from the freezer and place the rolled block of chilled butter in the centre of the rectangle. Fold the top third over the butter then the bottom third up over the top. Roll out into a 18x25cm/7x10in rectangle about 1cm/½in thick, turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat the folding and rolling process again.
Fold the dough back into thirds and place back into the freezer for 15 minutes. Roll out again and this time fold into quarters – folding each short edge into the centre, then closing it up like a book. Roll out again, then repeat this double-fold once more and freeze the dough for another 15 minutes.
Wrap the dough in cling film and set aside in the fridge.
For the raspberry and almond filling, place the almonds, almond extract, sugars, and raspberry powder into a bowl. Mix with a spoon, adding enough egg yolk to bind to a paste. Tip the paste onto the work surface, then roll 12 sausages about a 0.5cm/¼in thick and 5cm/2in long and place on a plate in the fridge.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 40x30cm/16x12in. Cut it down the centre lengthwise then cut six triangles from each strip (the triangles will be approximately 10cm/4in wide at the base). Place a sausage of raspberry almond filling along the long edge of the triangle, and roll each croissant up.
Place onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment and leave to prove for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
When ready to bake, brush the top of the pastries with beaten egg and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden-brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
When cool, sift some icing sugar over the raspberry and almond croissants and serve.

SQLiteDatabase sqlite_factory ( string $filename [, int $mode = 0666 [, string &$error_message ]] )
sqlite_factory() behaves similarly to sqlite_open() in that it opens an SQLite database or attempts to create it if it does not exist. However, a SQLiteDatabase object is returned rather than a resource. Please see the sqlite_open() reference page for further usage and caveats.
Returns an SQLiteDatabase object on success, NULL on error.

Starbucks reveals when it'll release its red cups for Christmas 2019
While Starbucks keep their seasonal range secret until the launch, these old favourites are rumoured to be making a return
by James Rodger, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalistMany Christmas traditions have stood the test of time - roasting chestnuts, hanging up a stocking and leaving a mince pie out for St Nick.
But for the modern festive fan - the latest staple of any successful December is a red coffee cup.
And in Birmingham the countdown is on for Starbucks to return with their limited edition Christmas beverages.
They will be in stores across the UK, from Tuesday, November 5.
While Starbucks keep their seasonal range secret until the launch, these old favourites are rumoured to be making a return.
On the yuletide list are Gingerbread and Eggnog Lattes, as well as a Toffee Nut option.
And this year will also see two types of hot chocolate on offer, including Salted Caramel Brownie and - as a new addition for 2019 - Toasted Marshmallow flavour.
Those who fancy something a little colder, however, can pick from a range of Crimbo-themed iced drinks, like the Salted Caramel Brownie, Gingerbread Coffee and Gingerbread Cream Frappuccino.
Each store will also have a range of limited-edition reusable cups, each with a wintry theme, to help you do your bit for the enviroment.

@dukeleto they k64 are game devs they are all marketing look and feel. They play hard and live hard we can't be all core devs with autisme and a hard on for deper technical code. Let them enjoy their succes and if you want to worry worry about what they will do with those other 60 million k64. They have a good team and i enjoyed their company with expensive gin tonic
BanHammer29-Aug-19 02:59 PM
@dukeleto you could also wonder why Redfox would let them fly all the way there for

@cascrypto you are an expert troll or one of the most degen people in here

dukeleto29-Aug-19 03:05 PM
It remains to be seen if KMD wants to keep notarizing the K64 chain. Perhaps they will refund the money, if RFOX is going take legal action against K64
K64 without dpow, well, that's nothing at all

They would just fly there without an appointment?

Cease notarizing a coin that has paid is not very cool for the coin that paid a service. I m not in K64 and have no bags... but please, don't make that mistake.

rfox ending relationship with k64 does not mean kmd is doing it too. Kmd is neutral. They're just part of the same kmd ecosystem and that's it.

Neko29-Aug-19 03:55 PM
kmd is still small so these things can affect the main coin
richardt29-Aug-19 03:56 PM
but KMD is better than ETH though

yes
ethereum enterprise alliance but without having to fork the code
richardt29-Aug-19 04:02 PM
ETH still #2 after all the scams and failed projects
but KMD still better
polycryptoblog29-Aug-19 04:10 PM
Eth is in its death throes. Founder abandoned the project, 5 years and no PoS, demonstrably can’t scale, All hopes pinned on sharding which as often been described here as unscrambling an omelet .

KMD is a better meme

polycryptoblog29-Aug-19 04:38 PM
Kmd will be protean currency. If/when PegCC and it’s related components are ready and integrated in. People can choose to store value as nearly anything they choose, Like the way payment processor stocks perform , convert KMD to KMDVISA and back again when needed.
Only limit to what can be polymorphed into is really what you can get multiple feeds for
Some cases may only need a single feed
This is revolutionary for a whole host of reasons .
richardt29-Aug-19 04:49 PM
it's only revolutionary if/when it works and people actually use it
we tend to use the term "revolutionary" too loosely in crypto (edited)
polycryptoblog29-Aug-19 04:53 PM
Well to be able to directly invest in an asset that you would otherwise not be able to is pretty revolutionary.

Neko29-Aug-19 04:54 PM
its the holy grail
3rd parties are a big source of problems in crypto
polycryptoblog29-Aug-19 04:54 PM
And in the real world.
For instance an Iranian can’t invest in US stocks, the gatekeepers ( brokerages and regulatory orgs ) block them out.
Same , US investors have limited selection of Chinese companies they can invest in
richardt29-Aug-19 04:57 PM
yeah, well, a lot of things were suppose to be revolutionary back then but never panned out. So excuse me for not being overly excited just yet
We want to introduce our proof-of-concept Private Atomic Swaps. The first #privacyswap happened between $NIX and $KMD using #AtomicDEX.
We want to thank the @KomodoPlatform team for their support.
Exciting times ahead! @FlareWallet

@Deleted User seems that you missed me?
Yes, I am a KMD core dev, and also, I am not a KMD employee and yes, I offered to buy his notary node so he would leave, as sanctioned by James. Notaries can buy notary nodes from other NNs. So again, there is no drama
tolken29-Aug-19 05:48 PM
$NIX ?
dukeleto29-Aug-19 05:48 PM
and also, there goes that new ZEC/BTC ATL, it just took some time
@Deleted User it seems that you want the censorship of my opinions in here that made you leave the KMD notary network, funny
censorship is a funny thing, depends on where it's aimed
tolken29-Aug-19 05:49 PM
Ahh got it. Privacy swaps in AtomicDEX will be huge.

We Totally Dig This Rendering Of A 1965 Ford Mustang Wagon
Would you have bought one?
by Jacob OlivaI think we can all agree that the Ford Mustang Mach-E is a controversial car. A name that has been known as a fossil fuel-burning, low-riding, two-door coupe was given a brother with the same name. But this time, it's a Mustang that's practical and electric – words that are hardly best to describe the pony car.
But what if Ford did the same thing with the 1965 Mustang? Would it have received the same flak as the Mustang Mach-E?
That's the exact train of thought by the folks over at Abimelec Design. Posted over at their Facebook page, the design gurus made a realistic rendering of a Mustang wagon dubbed as the Mustang Mach-4.
Gallery: Ford Mustang Mach-4 Wagon Rendering By Abimelec Design
Abimelec Design's Mustang Mach-4 isn't electric, though. But they have employed a little parallelism between their rendering and the Mustang Mach-E, taking what makes the electric Mustang sacrilegious and translated them into what could have been their equivalent in 1965.
Instead of being electric, the Mach-4 runs on a Lotus-tuned four-cylinder engine with dual camshafts. To give it an SUV vibe, the supposed Mach-4 was rendered as a wagon (or a shooting brake) and was given a four-wheel-drive system. Again, two things that you'll never find in a Mustang – except for a Mustang station wagon concept that never hit production.
People Have Strong Opinions About The New Mustang Mach-E:
With this rendering, we got to thinking – if Ford pushed for production of a Mustang wagon, would we be more accepting of the full-electric Mustang Mach-E? Wouldn't that change our perception that the pony car should remain as a coupe for its entire lifetime?
And more importantly, would you have bought one if Ford had made this a reality? Let us know in the comments section below.

| SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
public interface ExtendedPathIterator
The ExtendedPathIterator
class represents a geometric
path constructed from straight lines, quadratic and cubic (Bezier)
curves and elliptical arcs. This interface is identical to that of
PathIterator except it can return SEG_ARCTO from currentSegment,
also the array of values passed to currentSegment must be of length
7 or an error will be thrown.
This does not extend PathIterator as it would break the interface
contract for that class.
| Field Summary | |
|---|---|
static int |
SEG_ARCTO
The segment type constant for an elliptical arc. |
static int |
SEG_CLOSE
The segment type constant that specifies that the preceding subpath should be closed by appending a line segment back to the point corresponding to the most recent SEG_MOVETO. |
static int |
SEG_CUBICTO
The segment type constant for the set of 3 points that specify a cubic parametric curve to be drawn from the most recently specified point. |
static int |
SEG_LINETO
The segment type constant for a point that specifies the end point of a line to be drawn from the most recently specified point. |
static int |
SEG_MOVETO
The segment type constant for a point that specifies the end point of a line to be drawn from the most recently specified point. |
static int |
SEG_QUADTO
The segment type constant for the pair of points that specify a quadratic parametric curve to be drawn from the most recently specified point. |
static int |
WIND_EVEN_ODD
The winding rule constant for specifying an even-odd rule for determining the interior of a path. |
static int |
WIND_NON_ZERO
The winding rule constant for specifying a non-zero rule for determining the interior of a path. |

Today a post on FQL (Facebook Query Language). I will give you some examples that hopefully show the power of this SQL-like querying interface of the Facebook API.
So in short: FQL lets you query Facebook's Graph API (what is the Graph API?).
1. get all comments for a specific URL
For example to see the comments on this book that was added to My Reading List: http://www.bobbelderbos.com/books/?googleID=UgrUeIwsS60C
Query:
SELECT post_fbid, fromid, object_id, text, time FROM comment
WHERE object_id IN (SELECT comments_fbid FROM link_stat WHERE url =
'http://www.bobbelderbos.com/books/?googleID=UgrUeIwsS60C')
This returns:
[ {"post_fbid": "10150238413182479", "fromid": 628517118, "object_id":<PHONE_NUMBER>2007479, "text": "worth every penny, one of the best css titles I have read.", "time":<PHONE_NUMBER> } ]
(more info on comments and replies per comment)
Query:
SELECT uid, name, pic_square FROM user WHERE uid = me()
OR uid IN (select uid from group_member where gid =<PHONE_NUMBER>02671)
order by name
(requires extended permission: friends_likes)
Query:
SELECT uid, name, pic_square,music FROM user WHERE uid = me()
OR uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) order by name
!! Note the batching of multiple queries into a single call !!
Snippet output:
... you can do the same for movies - query:
SELECT uid,name,pic_small,movies FROM user WHERE uid = me()
OR uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) order by name
(requires extended permission: friends_birthday)
Query:
SELECT uid, name,pic_square, birthday_date FROM user
WHERE (substr(birthday_date, 0, 2) = "07") AND uid IN
(SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) order by name
!! Note the use of substr in this query !!
Other functions that are available are now(), strlen(), substr() and strpos().
XML and JSON are supported formats. I am using JSON for this example.
$oauth_token is obtained by the Facebook's Authentication: you need to create a Facebook App first and get the user to login and grant permission to your app (I will do a followup post ...)
$query = "https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query="; $query .= urlencode("<above query>"); $query .= "&access_token=".$oauth_token."&format=json"; $out = file_get_contents($query); $response = json_decode($out, true); echo '<pre>';print_r($response);echo '</pre>';
There is a great test console where you can play with the queries. With another user account FQL console gave me "Something went wrong. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can." It seems you need to have an Application setup and the test user might need to have granted the extra permissions him/herself.
A handy trick is to click on the URL in the FQL console, it will open a new tab with the URL to fetch. For example 1 that would be:
Of course a lot more is possible, see all Tables. The only limitation is that you can only query indexable properties (columns)
In the next post I will iterate over example 4. (birthday calendar) to show you how to use FQL as a workhorse for the input of your Facebook app. I will also cover some more aspects of the Facebook API like authorization and dialogs ...
You can subscribe to this blog, join my Facebook group, comment on this post below, or find me on twitter @bbelderbos.
By the way, if you have interesting topics you would like to see covers, just drop me a message, I am open to anything web-related.

Alan Tracy rubbed his hands together in gleeful anticipation. Destruct-All was the best fighting robot he had ever built, certain to pulverize anything that the others might come up with to challenge it.
Standing 22 inches high, with two hammer-arms moving vertically and two more moving horizontally—hinged so they would not interfere with each other—it would obliterate anything. He could hardly wait for the competition.
When Gordon, his next-oldest brother, had suggested a robot tournament, he had been skeptical at first. However, the entire International Rescue organization had endured a long interval without a single disaster to respond to, and while the peace was great for the world and humanity, Alan and the rest of the household had become restless. Initially, designing the robot had been a way to pass the time, but as his plans took shape, Alan had become more and more excited about the prospect, especially when the other declared participants in the household—Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Brains, and Tin-Tin—hinted excitedly at their own robot designs.
Alan's wristwatch beeped. The face, which had displayed the time, disappeared and was replaced by an image of his father, Jeff Tracy, founder and head of International Rescue. Jeff was 58 years old, with craggy features and gray hair receding at the temples. A former astronaut and former CEO of his own company, he had a wide range of experience.
"Where are you, Alan?" Jeff asked.
"I'm in the workshop next to the Thunderbird 2 hangar."
"I need you to get to Thunderbird 3 right away. Immediate lift-off. The thrusters on the Space Garden research satellite have been struck by a meteor. The satellite's spun out of orbit and is heading for a cluster of vital communications and GPS satellites…including one of ours. The astronaut gardeners inside have no control. You need to locate it, rescue the astronauts, stop it from colliding with other satellites, and if possible, get it back to its proper orbit. John's already sent its projected path and your interception course to Thunderbird 3's navigation system."
"Right away, Father." Alan took the robot, put it in his storage locker, and entered a code on the keypad to secure it. Hurrying to the hangar, he scrambled up the ladder to the inspection monorail. A car immediately moved into place. He opened the door, climbed in, shut the door, and pressed the starter. The car zipped ahead, over and past the underground storage area for the various International Rescue vehicles, and into the hangar for the rocket Thunderbird 3.
The red spaceship stood 287 feet high, resting in a cave underneath a donut-shaped structure on the surface that the Tracys called the Round House. Alan stopped the car, got out, and stood on the movable catwalk. It swung over to the Thunderbird 3 airlock door, near the tip. He opened the door and stepped in. The catwalk automatically swung back into place.
Inside Thunderbird 3's control room, Alan secured the airlock door and walked to the pilot's seat. Standing in front of it, he consulted the readouts on the flight console and started a countdown.
"Prepare for lift-off," he automatically said over the intercom, before remembering that he had no passengers. He sat in the pilot's seat and strapped in. Checking the monitors to verify that the hatch above him had opened, he hit the ignition. Even though he was alone, he could not resist saying, "Blast-off!"
The three engines roared into life. Alan felt himself being pressed into the seat as Thunderbird 3 soared through the middle of the Round House and into the sky. Within minutes, he had cleared Earth's atmosphere. The artificial gravity snapped on. Alan left his seat and put on his International Rescue uniform: a teal jumpsuit with matching boots, plus a white sash and utility belt. On the sash was International Rescue's symbol—a helping hand extended over a map of Earth. Completing the uniform was a matching teal garrison cap.
Back at the console, Alan saw the signal showing an incoming message. "Thunderbird 3," he said.
A picture of his brother John came on the screen. John, currently on duty on International Rescue's orbiting communications satellite, Thunderbird 5, wore a uniform similar to Alan's, except that his sash was lilac-purple in color. "Confirming that you're on course for the Space Garden satellite, Alan."
Alan nodded. "What's the brief?"
"A meteor the size of a truck hit the Space Garden—a glancing blow at one end where the thrusters are—and spun it out of its orbit."
"No warning?"
"Yes, somewhat. The meteor registered on radar, but the surface was too sooty to reflect much light, so we couldn't get a clear visual. Besides, there's always a margin of error in the projected path. The Space Garden moved before being hit, and the meteor almost missed it, but it wasn't able to move far enough in the time we had. The thrusters were smashed, the fuel leaked out, and the satellite was knocked in another direction."
"Is the meteor going to hit Earth?"
"No, it ricocheted back out into space."
"How about the astronauts?" Alan asked.
"They're fine so far," John said. "But with the positioning thrusters damaged, there's no way they can move it."
"And ground control can't reposition it?"
"Same problem. No thruster control."
Alan sighed. "Just our luck."
"If you're able to pull alongside, Thunderbird 3's robot arm ought to be able to grab it at a couple of points."
"Can you send me the schematics?"
"Sure thing," John said.
Alan checked his monitors as the data came in. "Okay, got them. Stay in touch."
"F.A.B." John signed off with International Rescue's private acknowledgement code.
Alan kept an eye on the exterior monitors and the flight path. Many large satellites built in recent years broadcast automatic recognition codes, to make satellites easier to track and identify. He found the Space Garden's almost immediately, and let out a breath in relief. That meant that the generator still worked, even if the thrusters did not. He felt it would be a shame to lose the Space Garden, and a setback to biological science, which seemed to be on the verge of some exciting discoveries as a result of growing plants—grains and fruits as well as flowers—in zero gravity.
He sent out a communication. "International Rescue to Space Garden. Do you read?"
A faint voice came over the intercom. "Space Garden reading you, International Rescue."
"What's your situation?"
"The satellite is intact. No loss of air. We've put on space suits as a precaution in case of collision."
"I'm on my way, Space Garden. I should be able to reach you soon."
"We'll be watching for you, International Rescue."
Soon the Space Garden appeared on radar, and shortly after that he had a visual. He reduced speed and maneuvered Thunderbird 3 until it was even with the oblong satellite, which was not significantly larger than the International Rescue vessel. Turning on Thunderbird 3's exterior lights gave an even better view. He could see the smashed thrusters at a tapered end, and confirmed that there was no sign of a breach or loss of atmosphere. The satellite's interior lights seemed to be working, and the clear viewports showed no frost or condensation. He could see inside clearly. Astronauts in spacesuits waved at him, and from what he could observe, the inside still had healthy, thriving plants as well.
Alan called the Space Garden again. "Okay, I'm going to try to grab the satellite. Brace yourselves."
"Will do, International Rescue."
Alan opened up a panel on the side of Thunderbird 3 and extended the robot arm. The satellite had the standard universal docking connections, and the usual rings where a space tug could clamp on. Alan had used Thunderbird 3's robot arm numerous times before, and locked it on a ring on the first try. He gradually reduced speed and found the connection held. Now he could bring the Space Garden back to its original orbit.
"International Rescue to Space Garden," Alan called, "I've locked on to you. Will return you to your designated orbit."
"Thanks, International Rescue!"
"Do you need our assistance in repairs?"
"Negative. We have the tools and equipment to start repairs ourselves, and ground control is already planning to send a team to assist. But thank you."
"Happy to help, Space Garden." He closed that communication line and opened the International Rescue frequency. "Thunderbird 3 to Thunderbird 5 and base. Target acquired. Returning satellite to previous orbit."
"Good work, Alan," Jeff called back. "The university research department called and said they're sending a repair crew at the earliest launch window. You can come on home once it's back in place."
"F.A.B., Dad," Alan said.
International Space Control assigned orbits to all registered satellites to avoid space collisions and satellite overcrowding. All Alan needed to do was to tap into its public database to get the details on the Space Garden, and plot a course to that sector. Within an hour, the Space Garden was securely back in its regular orbit. After circling the satellite once to be sure everything was fine, he plotted a course to Tracy Island.
Once Alan had Thunderbird 3 on its way back to Earth, he found himself reflecting on how far he had come. When International Rescue started operations, his only previous space experience had been astronaut training, which culminated in a couple of NASA space missions. Although he had helped build Thunderbird 3, and they were all new to it at first, he found that Scott and Virgil and John—even his famous astronaut father—seemed more expert in operating it than he, and right away, too. Then again, Scott, Virgil, John, and Jeff had had logged countless hours working in space all those years while he had split his time between earning a college degree and participating in the Grand Prix racing circuit.
In the early years of International Rescue's operation, someone else—usually his oldest brother Scott—would be on board when he piloted Thunderbird 3. Giddy with being in space at all, and at the controls of this one-of-a-kind vessel, he had not minded one bit. As time went on, he spent more and more hours in space, either piloting Thunderbird 3 or working every other month as space monitor on Thunderbird 5, switching off with John.
Eventually, Jeff allowed Alan to take Thunderbird 3 up on his own—though a significant number of missions still required two or more to be on the crew. Now, no one questioned his space experience; indeed, the rest of the International Rescue team seemed to take it for granted. He felt comfortable on Thunderbird 3 and Thunderbird 5, and his enthusiasm for space flight had not diminished one iota.
Re-entry, the most dangerous part of the space flight, passed routinely. Approaching Tracy Island, Alan maneuvered Thunderbird 3 so that it settled vertically through the donut hole in the Round House and back into the Thunderbird 3 hangar. Once the rocket ship was secured and the hangar had cooled, Alan changed into his civilian clothes, and left Thunderbird 3 the way he came: through the airlock door, onto the catwalk, and into the inspection monorail car. Since the robot was finished, he did not go back to the workshop, but stopped at the access door leading to Tracy Villa.
Once inside the house, he went directly to the lounge, which served as International Rescue's control center. His father Jeff sat at his desk, checking his computer monitor screen. When Alan walked in, he looked up and smiled.
"Welcome home, Alan. The university wanted me to extend its thanks."
"I was glad to help." Alan looked around the lounge. The baby grand piano was unoccupied; Virgil regularly sat there, playing whatever music came to mind. The chairs and couches were empty. Stepping out onto the balcony, he saw no one splashing in the swimming pool. Turning to the ocean, he saw no one on the beach, either.
He looked back at Jeff. "Where is everybody?"
Jeff gestured to the door leading to the kitchen. "Grandma and Kyrano are making supper. Everyone else seems to be working on their robots."
Knowing that an intrusion on any of the other robot makers would probably result in a request to get lost, Alan wandered into the combination kitchen/dining area. This was a huge expanse, filled with the latest appliances, abundant counter space, and numerous cabinets.
Alan sniffed the air. "What's for dinner?"
Kyrano, International Rescue's personal chef, turned from a floured counter. "Herb chicken with spinach salad, and dinner rolls." He shaped the dough with his hands as he spoke.
"And apple pie for dessert!" Grandma Tracy said as she sliced apples in another corner of the kitchen.
"Sounds—and smells—good," Alan said, as he accepted a piece of apple from Grandma. After munching and swallowing, he strolled over to Kyrano, who arranged the bread dough on the baking pan. "Any ideas on what to give Tin-Tin for her birthday?" Alan hoped her father had heard some hints or clues.
Kyrano looked up briefly and smiled. "Oh, I think Tin-Tin would be happy with anything that came from you."
Grandma looked over and grinned slyly. "How about jewelry?"
Alan chuckled nervously. He and Tin-Tin had an off-again, on-again romance for many years now, which had remained steadily "on" in recent months. The relationship was comfortable, pleasant, and, on occasion, intoxicating, but he was not sure he was ready to commit just yet. "I'll have to think about it, Grandma." He sauntered out as quickly and casually as he could, before Grandma could hint at diamond rings.
Returning to the lounge, he saw Jeff still at his desk and ambled over.
Jeff looked up. "Something, Alan?"
"Well, I was just wondering what to give Tin-Tin for her birthday. Kyrano and Grandma were somewhat vague."
"Why not ask Lady Penelope? She and Tin-Tin go shopping together a lot. She probably knows what Tin-Tin wants."
"That's a great idea, Dad. Thanks!" Alan walked to his room and sat at his desk. Turning on his laptop, he checked the time in England and dialed Lady Penelope's computer.
Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, formerly of British Intelligence, currently an agent of International Rescue, appeared on the screen within a minute. In her late 20s, Penelope was a slim blonde with a highly developed fashion sense. "How can I be of service, Alan?"
"Just to be clear, I'm not calling with an International Rescue assignment."
"Oh, I know. If it were, Jeff would have called on the emergency frequency."
Alan nodded. "I need some ideas for a present for Tin-Tin's birthday."
Alan braced himself for Penelope to hint at an engagement ring, but she said, "I have just the thing. The current high-fashion item is a bracelet made of tiny LED lights strung together. They sparkle like diamonds. Cheap models abound, of course, but Tin-Tin has been admiring the ones sold in fine jewelry stores. I understand that one can find schematics on the web for various models. Custom-made ones are highly prized. With your engineering experience, I imagine you could fashion a unique design. I'm sure she'd love it."
After a moment's thought, Alan said, "That's a great idea! I'll get to work on it."

"Thanks, that'll be a great help."
Within the hour, Alan had examined a number of pictures and diagrams, and began to form an idea of what he wanted. After transferring the data to a tablet computer, he walked toward a supply room to see if he could find the materials he needed. On the way, he met Brains, International Rescue's resident genius and designer of all its vehicles. Brains stood a few inches shorter than Alan, who was 6'1". His short brown hair framed a high forehead, and he wore blue-rimmed glasses. After Alan showed Brains the schematics and explained what he needed, Brains led him straight to a storage room.
Reaching toward a bin and pulling it out, Brains said, "These bead-sized lights w-w-would be an improvement over the LED lights for the bracelet, I think." He put his hand into another bin and drew out a small square. "This would be your p-p-power source." Again, he picked out materials from another drawer. "Here is what I r-r-recommend you use as a setting. And t-t-this would work as a clasp." He set out everything on a bench top so Alan could examine it, then he extended his hand toward the tablet. "If I m-m-may?"
"Sure." Alan handed him the tablet.
Brains consulted the screen and used his fingers to modify the design. "I think this w-w-would be more esthetically pleasing." He handed the tablet back to Alan.
Alan examined the design and drew his head back. "Wow." He looked up. "Thanks, Brains."
Alan spent the next few days working on the bracelet. So intent was he on his task that a knock at the door of the workroom startled him. He turned to see Gordon, who had reddish-brown hair and a lean swimmer's frame.
"Hey, Alan, aren't you coming to the robot games?"
Alan laid the almost-finished bracelet on the bench. "Oh my gosh! I forgot it was today!"
Gordon made a sweeping gesture with his arm. "Well, get moving! We're waiting!"
"On my way!" Alan rushed to the storage locker, entered the combination on the keypad, and took out Destruct-All. He walked quickly to the outdoor patio next to the pool, which had been cleared for the competition. Someone had already put wide blue tape on the flagstones in the rough shape of a circle. Far outside the circle, Jeff, Kyrano, and Grandma sat in lawn chairs, watching. Closer to the rim, Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Brains, and Tin-Tin stood or knelt beside their contraptions.
Alan surveyed the competition. Scott, the oldest Tracy brother, hovered over a boxy cube with a huge mechanical maw, complete with cruel-looking metal teeth. Virgil, the next-oldest of the brothers, knelt beside a torpedo-shaped robot with a drill at the end. Gordon sat next to a wide metal disk with jointed metal arms sprouting from it, resembling a huge metal spider. Brains stood next to a cylindrical structure with a flexible metal snake extending from the top. The tubing had grabs at the end.
"Everyone ready?" Gordon said, looking around. "Here are the rules: the robots go inside the circle. We stay outside. We can use remote controls, but can't touch the robots. If a robot leaves the circle or is unable to move, it's done. Last robot moving around in the circle wins."
The participants nodded or mumbled agreement.
Gordon bent down over his spider-robot. "Okay, at the count of three, we put the robots in the circle and let them go! One…two…three!"
Alan and the others put their robots in and stepped back. Immediately, the machines went after each other. Destruct-All's hammers went up and down, and from side to side. One got Scott's robot on the upper ridge and bent it, but the arm nonetheless was caught within the jaws and pulled off. Meanwhile, Virgil's robot drilled into Brains's robot, only to be picked up by the grabs, pulled free, and swung outside the circle.
"Virgil's out," Grandma observed.
Virgil scratched his head. "That was fast."
Destruct-All still had hammer-arms to spare. One swung at Gordon's robot and struck off a spider arm. Scott's robot abandoned Destruct-All, at least for the moment, and crunched another of the spider robot's arms. Tin-Tin's vehicle darted in and out among the other robots, avoiding damage or capture. Gordon's robot, still possessing six good arms, grabbed Scott's through a hole Destruct-All had made in it and tossed it out of the circle.
"Scott's out," Jeff announced.
Destruct-All swung its hammers, denting Brains's robot and smashing more spider arms, but the grabs from Brains's closed on one hammer and a spider arm closed on another, and together they threw Destruct-All out of the arena.
"Wow," Alan said, as the wreck of the robot slid to a stop at his feet.
The spider's remaining arms tried and failed to reach Brains's robot. Its grabs snaked out of the way, caught an arm, and swung the spider out and away from the circle. Wasting no time, Tin-Tin's vehicle aimed its nozzle at the remaining robot's wheels and sprayed until the grabs came down. The nozzle then sprayed the grabs, which stuck open, unable to close. The gears on Brains's robot ground to a halt. Tin-Tin's vehicle triumphantly beeped as it zoomed around Brains's robot in a victory lap.
Gordon took Tin-Tin's hand and raised it above her head. "The winner and champion," he announced, "Tin-Tin!"
The others applauded.
Gordon let go of her hand. "Well done, Tin-Tin."
Alan walked over and gave her a hug. "That was a fine piece of engineering."
"What sort of glue did you use, Tin-Tin?" Scott asked.
"Glue number three," Tin-Tin said. "It had the right viscosity for spraying, but it dries quickly on contact when exposed to air."
Scott nodded. "Good thinking."
Kyrano stood from his chair. "I have prepared a coffee cake and coffee in the kitchen. Please, come."
Virgil grinned. "So you knew Tin-Tin would win?"
Kyrano smiled. "No. I did not know which robot would prevail. We all cheer each other on, and I knew whatever the outcome, we would all want to celebrate."
"Now that's a fact," Jeff said, rising from his chair.
"Amen to that," Scott said. "Let's eat!"
They took their plates, forks, and coffee cups and retired to the lounge. Opposite Jeff's desk hung five portraits of the Tracy sons, in their International Rescue uniforms. The images, however, were composed of pixels, not paint, and could change at a touch of a button at Jeff's desk. Alan glanced at his as he took a seat on the couch next to Tin-Tin and mused that in the past three or four years, since the picture was first taken, his face had become a bit leaner and more mature-looking. He wondered if he could approach his dad to have another digital picture taken, so he would not look forever like a kid on the wall.
Gordon settled back in a chair with a sigh. "Well, that was fun. What should we try next?"
Alan turned to him. "I don't know about you, but I have a race next week."
Virgil sat at the baby grand, but carefully put his coffee on a small table next to it, and his plate in his lap. "Where to this time?"
"Northwest Australia."
"Rugged terrain," Scott observed.
"Yeah, it'll be a challenging course. That's why they built it there, I think."
Jeff took another sip of coffee. "Provided we're not in the middle of a rescue, of course."
Alan chuckled. "Of course!"
"If Alan isn't able to go to this race, there will be others," Tin-Tin said. "Besides, it gives the other drivers a chance to win."
"Yeah," Gordon said. "Ever since Alan's been using the race car Brains designed, he's won every race he's entered."
"True, but they're catching up," Alan said. "Automobile technology is constantly changing, and most drivers update their cars every race."
"I think I can m-m-manage to stay ahead of them," Brains said modestly.
Scott motioned to Brains. "That's true; Brains works on Alan's car after every race."
"To be f-f-fair," Brains added, "Alan works on the car, too."
"Yes, but I couldn't begin to think up the kind of improvements you add, Brains," Alan said.
"M-m-most of the improvements come from my work on the Thunderbird machines and o-o-other vehicles we use in rescues. The principles used in p-p-power, fuel, steering, and aerodynamics apply to the car, as well."
"That's partly why I'm still allowing Alan to drive in two or three races a year, rescues permitting," Jeff said. "What we learn from the car's performance can apply to our other vehicles."
 "Two to three races a year is plenty for me."
Virgil almost choked on his cake. After downing a gulp of coffee, he said, "Are you the same Alan who joined the volunteer fire department largely to drive the trucks, and the paramedics to drive the ambulance?"
"Yeah," Scott added, "and earned money to fix up that old 1950s antique car by starting your own door-to-door delivery service just so you'd have an excuse to drive every day?"
"To Alan's credit," Jeff said, "he was a good firefighter and paramedic, as good as the rest of you when you volunteered, and the delivery service taught him sound business sense."
"Yes, when Alan and I were paramedics together," Tin-Tin said, "he always got the patients to the hospital safely and in record time. He had a spotless record—no accidents."
Alan waved toward the veranda and beyond, indicating the Round House. "As much as I love driving cars, piloting Thunderbird 3 and the other vehicles is even more exciting. If I had to make a choice between racing and International Rescue, I'd retire as a professional driver."
Scott lifted his coffee cup. "So say we all."
Virgil hefted his, as well. "You're right, Scott; given the choice as to what I was doing before and what I'm doing now—no contest."
"Hear! Hear!" the others said, lifting their mugs and joining in the toast.
The eyes on John's portrait lit up. At the same time, they heard a beeping noise.
Jeff hit a switch on his desk. "Go ahead, John."
A live picture of John on the space station replaced the portrait. "Father, we have an emergency."

Campaigning ends for Pithoragarh bypoll
BJP is fielding ex-MLA Prakash Pant’s wife
by PRESS TRUST OF INDIACampaigning for the by-election to Pithoragarh Assembly seat came to an end on Saturday with both the BJP and the Congress trying to woo the voters.
While the BJP sought a mandate describing itself as a party that believes in serving people quietly, the Congress raked up the issues of “growing unemployment, rising prices and stalled development schemes” initiated during its government’s tenure.
Addressing a meeting for party nominee Chandra Pant at the Ramlila ground in Pithoragarh, Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said his government released ₹350 crore for the development of the constituency in the last two years -- the highest by any government for the district.
Highlighting various steps taken by his government to boost the road and air connectivity, Mr. Rawat said the Tanakpur-Pithoragarh stretch, which is the part of an ambitious all-weather road project, is nearing completion. He said his government is in talks with several aviation companies to streamline air services from Pithoragarh to Hindon and Dehradun. The bypoll was necessitated due to the death of Prakash Pant, whose wife Ms. Chandra is contesting from the seat.


There are many algorithms presenting in RL in a very intuitive way, but looks a bit heuristic. While re-reading Reinforcement Learning as an attempt to get rid of that heuristic feeling, I’ve tried to digest it under an optimization perspective. And well, I realized I couldn’t make any connection whatsoever from optimization understanding to any algorithm presenting in RL.
So this is an attempt to make thing more concrete under a somewhat first principle view.
The note is currently very unorganized. Let’s go!


Smash Word 문제
- To a word, and a map, map which is a word, ask this if a word is smash able?
- That is, you can smash one letter each time, and the rest of the letters can form a single word
- the new word is still in the map) until it is completely hit.
- For example: sprint -> print -> pint -> pit -> it -> i -> “”
코드
bool smash_word(string& current, stack<string>& wordStack, const map<string, int>& dic) {
int length = current.size();
if(length == 0) {
cout << current << endl;
return true;
}
for(int i = 0 ; i < length; i++ ) {
string word = current.erase(i);
if(word == "" || dic.count(word)!=0) {
wordStack.push(word);
if(smash_word(word, wordStack, dic)) {
return true;
}
else
wordStack.pop();
}
}
return false;

Steve mentioned this to me the other day: "The EU Software Patent Directive has been or will be scheduled on the agenda of the Agriculture and Fishery Meeting of the 24th of January as an A item, i.e. an item that is to be adopted without a vote."
I don't know much about the workings of the EU, but it strikes me that asking an Agriculture and Fishery Meeting to rule on intellectual property for software isn't totally appropriate.

Just In: The Opening Date of the Western Suburbs’ Brand New Sydney Zoo
It’ll have Australia’s largest reptile and nocturnal animal house, lions, hyenas and a lot of monkeys.
by Che-Marie TriggAt the moment, thousands of animals are prowling the grounds of Sydney Zoo, just near Blacktown in Western Sydney. They probably don’t realise, but very soon they’ll have thousands of humans gawking at them. Sydney Zoo has announced it will open on December 7.
It’s the only place in Australia that combines both a zoo and an aquarium, and thanks to a nifty safari-like design, it’s wheelchair and pram-friendly. Over the past few months the zoo’s animals have slowly been introduced to their new homes. Four lions now live there, alongside three hyenas, a few orangutans, a couple of cheetahs, some zebras, 11 chimps and 13 baboons. There’s also a reptile and nocturnal animal house – Australia’s biggest. It contains more than 20 nocturnal animal species and 40 species of reptiles, including venomous snakes, monitor lizards, frillneck lizards and a giant grasshopper.
The reptile and nocturnal animal house is one of the country’s first green-roof habitats. It’s planted with native grasses to improve sustainability, blend into the zoo’s natural landscape and provide insulation for the critters inside.
Sydney Zoo was founded by Sydney Aquarium owner John Burgess and his son Jake Burgess. They’ll be supporting conservation in Australia and abroad, as well as participating in on-site breeding programs for endangered species. The staff have worked with the local Darug people on a natural heritage program led by Aboriginal guides.
The zoo has been designed to create a safari-like experience with boardwalks, hidden barriers and no cages. It’ll have a large show arena, gift shops, restaurants, kiosks, gardens and picnic areas.
Tickets will cost $99.99 for a family of four (two adults, two children); $39.99 for adults; $29.99 for concession-card holders; and $19.99 for children aged between three and 15. Tickets are currently available online only. There will be memberships, which offer unlimited access to the zoo; free car parking; 10 per cent off food, beverages and zoo shop purchases; and discounted entry to Raging Waters (formerly Wet’n’Wild Sydney) and Singapore Zoo.
Sydney Zoo is slated to open on December 7.

On Earth, meteors are called "shooting stars" because they are brief streaks of light that rarely occur. In space, meteoroids look much different, manifesting as streams or clouds of debris.
This visualization shows what meteor showers look like from space: beautiful bands of rock and dust that stretch across our entire solar system, and in some cases far beyond. With accurate orbital dynamics, you can explore as Earth passes through various meteor showers throughout the year.
Meteoroids are space debris, remnants of the tails of comets or collisions between large asteroids.
There are many major meteor showers every year. This visualization shows most of them. Find out when the next meteor shower is by looking at the meteor shower menu. Then, Google for the shower or check out the American Meteor Society website to find out what you can do to maximize your chances of seeing a meteor.
If you like these sorts of interactive visualizations, take a look at Pluto, ancient Earth, or asteroids!

lyst
Businessmodel of Lyst
Customer Segments
Lyst has a mass market business model, with no significant differentiation between customer segments. The company primarily sells products in two categories: Men and Women.
Value Proposition
Lyst offers three primary value propositions: customization, convenience, and brand/status.
The company offers customization by enabling shoppers to create lists featuring their favorite brands. Its technology remembers this content and uses it to make personalized style recommendations and notify users when items of interest go on sale.
The company offers convenience by aggregating over three million products from over 11,000 designers in one place. When it is time to make a purchase, customers just have to click an “Add to Bag” button, allowing them to place an order directly with the retailer through the site.
The company has built a strong brand as a result of its success. Its retail partners include some of the top fashion stores and brands in the world, including Burberry, Saks, J.Crew, Balenciaga, Neiman Marcus, Dolce & Gabbana, Bergdorf Goodman, and Lane Crawford. It is now one of the largest fashion tech firms in the UK, with more than 120 employees and a turnover of over $60 million.
Channels
Lyst’s main channel is its website, through which it acquires customers. The company also draws in users through its mobile app. Beyond these two, it promotes its site on its social media pages.
Customer Relationships
Lyst’s customer relationship is primarily of a self-service, automated nature. Customers utilize the website and mobile app while having limited interaction with employees. The company’s site includes a “Help & FAQs” section with answers to commonly asked questions. It also features a “Sizing Guide” that identifies specific measurements for different size categories (Small, Medium, Large, etc.) in different countries. Moreover, it offers an engineering blog for developers. That said, there is a personal assistance component in the form of phone and e-mail support.
Key Activities
Lyst’s business model entails maintaining a robust platform for its users. The platform includes its website and its mobile app (for the iPhone and iPad).
Key Partners
Lyst’s partners are the retail brands and designers it features on its website. To become a partner a company must request an invitation from the company and receive approval.
Key Resources
Lyst’s main resource is the proprietary software platform on which the site runs. The company also depends on human resources in the form of its technology and customer support staff. Lastly, as a startup it has relied heavily on funding from investors, raising $60.5 million from nine investors as of April 2015; investors include Accel Partners, Balderton Capital, Susa Ventures, and DFJ.
Cost Structure
Lyst has a cost-driven structure, aiming to minimize expenses through significant automation and low-price value propositions. Its biggest cost driver is likely transaction expenses, a fixed cost. Other major drivers are in the areas of customer support/operations, administration, and marketing, all fixed costs.
Revenue Streams
Lyst has two revenue streams:
Transaction Fees – The company makes a commission off of all sales that occur through the site.
Information Fees – The company collects information regarding customer spending and general behavior (e.g., peak browsing hours) and sells it back to brands and retailers

Written texts are typically presented in black and white. However, colors help detect/recognize objects, and hence, colors can potentially be used as word dividers during reading. Here we tested whether color information produces a benefit on the reading process. Experiment 1 showed that unspaced, alternating color sentences only produced a small reading cost relative to the spaced sentences in adult readers; unspaced monocolor sentences showed a large reading cost. Thus, colors can be used to delimit word boundaries. Using spaced text, Experiment 2 did not show any advantage of multi-colored over mono-colored text when reading aloud. Experiment 3 was parallel to Experiment 2 except that it was conducted in Chinese, an unspaced writing system. We found no effect of color in adult readers. We examine the implications of these data in the context of literacy training.

Columns and Rows
Handling Charts Versus Tables
The Data
If the data in a graph can be converted to a table, when should we use what and why? Much depends on the audience, and what you are trying to do with the data. For example, do you want to bring out the fact that there is an upward trend with the data? Show a graph. Do you want particulars, with discreet information? Use the table. If you want a blind person, who only has access to a table to understand that there is a trend, use a description for the table, an alternate text (available in certain software), captions, or other means to show a trend. Someone only looking at numbers in columns and rows won't be able to detect trends the way a sighted person can simply by looking at the graph.
It's All The Same Data
In the video below you can see where I am exporting the rows and columns of data into different formats. The rows are stock prices, and the columns are dates. Because these rows and columns are right next to each other, we perceive them as a one-line "graph". But that graph is absolutely composed of rows and columns. We see that we can alter the presentation of the data to adjust to different needs, but it is the same data.
The Implications Are Profound, Even Though It Is The Same Data
So, what makes this format of the data accessible? The descriptive elements you add to it, make it accessible. Alt Text, description, title, figcaptions, and descriptive paragraphs placed within its immediate proximity so that users may associate the descriptoin with the image.
Caution. Be Prepared To Handle The Data Multiple Times
<IP_ADDRESS>.16. When a text alternative is not available at the time of publication
In some cases an image is included in a published document, but the author is unable to provide an appropriate text alternative. In such cases the minimum requirement is to provide a caption for the image using the figure and figcaption elements under the following conditions:
- The img element is in a figure element
- The figure element contains a figcaption element
- The figcaption element contains content other than inter-element white space
- Ignoring the figcaption element and its descendants, the figure element has no Text node descendants other than inter-element white space, and no embedded content descendant other than the img element.
From W3.org <IP_ADDRESS>.16. When a text alternative is not available at the time of publication | as accessed 18 April 2019
The Data As An Image
Remember, this is still data in the form of rows and columns -- rows being stock prices and columns being dates. The software cannot see the image, so it must be described. This is why alt text and descriptions are so important. Using a description of "screenshot" isnt enough, describe what's happening. Your expertise in your field will guide you as to what is important about the data in this graph.
