Who We Are
Posted on September 7, 2015
Mission Statement
In the spirit of service, not self, the mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home and abroad. For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.
Vision Statement
The vision of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion while becoming the premier service organization and foundation of every community providing support for our veterans, our military, and their families by shaping a positive future in an atmosphere of fellowship, patriotism, peach and security.
Purpose
The vision of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion while becoming the premier service organization and foundation of every community providing support for our veterans, our military, and their families by shaping a positive future in an atmosphere of fellowship, patriotism, peach and security.
Fun Facts
The Auxiliary and the Legion are often centers for community and civic activities in mid-America, and provide a focal point for citizens' involvement.
The Auxiliary raises more than $18 million every year and reinvests those funds in VA medical centers and community programs.
Thousands of hours are devoted to crime prevention programs, instructing children, the elderly and the general public on safety, crime prevention and protection within the community.
Auxiliary volunteers are the backbone of assistance in the 171 VA Medical Centers.
They not only provide diversion and entertainment for patients, but assist the hospital staff in physical and psychological therapy, clerical and many other duties that would otherwise cost American taxpayers millions of dollars.
The Auxiliary deals with issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, missing and abused children, teen suicide and teen pregnancy. Its services touch the lives of all Americans directly or indirectly.
More than 20 nationwide programs receive support and financial aid from the American Legion Auxiliary.
The President's Theme & Symbol
“Honoring Our Veterans – Past, Present and Future!” is the theme selected for our 2015-2016 Auxiliary year. I am thrilled to be working with you all this year to make our organization strong and sustainable for future generations! Together we can and must achieve this goal or we will not be here into the future for our veterans of yesterday, today and tomorrow. We MUST embrace our membership challenge and grow our organization or who will be here to serve our veterans? It’s going to be a terrific year for TEAM IOWA! You are all Super Stars!
The symbol I selected is red, white and blue stars which I hope you have a lot of fun with.
Focus songs for the year are: “This is My Country”, “You’re a Grand Old Flag”, “When you Wish Upon a Star”, “Stars & Stripes Forever”, “If I Can Dream”, “Unsinkable Ships” and “Surely the Presence of the Lord is in this Place”
Selected scripture is “1 Corinthians 13:4-8”
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Awards and incentives are many this year as you document your activities throughout the year, be sure to submit your narratives before April 30 to the appropriate Department Chairman.
Again, I look forward to a wonderful year with TEAM IOWA! Thank you for your service!

BOYS DON'T CRY (Fox Searchlight) Directed by Kimberly Peirce
Although it's not mentioned in director Kimberly Peirce's wrenching "Boys Don't Cry," the real-life Brandon Teena worshipped Cher, the singer-actress who has made a career out of her ability to change her looks to suit whatever's in fashion. But gimmicks that may work perfectly for a superstar with a reputation for outrageousness are a good deal more difficult to pull off in the real world. That proved to be a lesson Brandon Teena -- who was actually a woman named Teena Brandon -- learned too late in the game.
"Boys Don't Cry," which takes its title from a classic song by the Cure, lays out the facts of Teena's bizarre life and horrifying death frankly but sympathetically. Although Peirce and Hilary Swank, the amazing actress who plays Teena, don't make apologies for their subject's reckless behavior, they seem to understand the sexual confusion and desire to be different that drove a young woman to remake herself as a male. The movie has to address some fairly shocking subject matter, but Swank and Peirce refuse to allow Teena's story to become lurid or titillating. In other, less capable hands, "Boys" could easily have become either a sleazy piece of exploitation or a sanctimonious look at how awful the Bible Belt can be towards people who don't follow the straight and narrow path.
The film introduces us to Teena in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1993, after her decision to disguise herself as a man. With her hair in a crew-cut, her chest strapped and a confident swagger in her step, "Brandon" looks uncannily like an adolescent boy and is so kind towards the women she dates that such tell-tale signs as her stubble-free face and her delicate hands go mostly undetected. "They say I'm the best boyfriend they ever had," Brandon brags to a pal.
But when this dreamy guy is revealed to be female, opinions change quickly and Brandon flees Lincoln to hide out in the small Nebraska town of Falls City. There she falls in with ex-cons John (Peter Sarsgaard) and Tom (Brendan Sexton III), neither of whom suspect there's anything unusual about him, perhaps because they're usually too drunk or stoned to pay much attention to anything. "People like you don't need drugs," Tom laughs as he observes Brandon's urgent desire to fit in with the kids in Falls City. "You just hallucinate 24 hours a day."
Brandon also attracts the attention of John's former flame Lana (Chloe Sevigny), the kind of girl who seems to have developed a bulletproof shell around her heart while still in her teens. Lana, whose life appears to consist of partying, working on the line in a cannery and cleaning up after her slovenly mom, finds herself gradually opening up to the new boy in town. Eventually, their relationship will have ghastly consequences.
The movie would have fallen flat if we didn't believe in Brandon's masquerade and kept waiting for the moment when her true identity would be uncovered. Swank immerses herself so completely in the character, however, that it's entirely possible to forget you're watching a woman pass herself off as a man. Peirce assists the illusion by setting most of the story in poorly-lit bars, shadowy living rooms and dark backroads and alleyways.
Reportedly, Drew Barrymore was anxious to tackle a different project about Brandon, one which has since been shut down. That's probably all for the best, since Barrymore is so easily identifiable she would have had an extremely difficult time convincing an audience she was anything more than a renowned movie star attempting a cross-dressing stunt. Swank, on the other hand, doesn't have to deal with nearly as many preconceptions (unless you're one of the dozen or so filmgoers who saw her in "The Karate Kid, Part 4") and slips easily into the crowd.
Although Swank's phenomenal performance is unquestionably the centerpiece of the film, Peirce gets outstanding work from just about everyone in her cast. In Sevigny's tortured eyes and rocky voice we learn everything we need to know about Lana's background and, perhaps, her future. When Lana naively talks about running away with Brandon and making a career for herself as a karaoke singer, Sevigny allows us a brief glimpse of the desperation and need for escape that Lana learned long ago to suppress.
Sexton, looking like a walking bruise, and Sarsgaard are chilling as good old boys who are always a breath away from turning into mindless, raging monsters. The acting is so electrifying it lends the picture the kind of punch usually found only in documentaries. Especially in its last half-hour, "Boys Don't Cry" is often extraordinarily tough to watch -- much in the same way the truth can be difficult to face. James Sanford

How to Cut Through the Web3 Hype and Anti-Hype
(Or, Public Open Source Event Ordering Has No Valid Use Case)
It's 2022 and there is an insane amount of hype surrounding blockchain and web3 technology. This has understandably led to a lot of backlash from technologists, journalists, and cultural critics. When confronted with one another, the advocates and skeptics get into heated arguments that usually end with both sides becoming further polarized. One side maintains that blockchain technology is the most revolutionary technology since sliced bread, and the other side reiterates that the only valid use cases for blockchain are ponzi schemes and money laundering.
This is a completely exhausting argument to keep track of, and I've found myself using a simple rule of thumb to evaluate claims made by both sides of the argument. Replace the following buzzwords with dry descriptions of what the technology actually does:
Blockchain -> Open source event ordering systemWeb3 -> Public open source databaseNFT -> Publically ownable digital object
Let's take the rule of thumb for a test drive.
"Open source event ordering systems can only be used for money laundering and ponzi schemes.""Open source event ordering systems are going to completely democratize finance.""Public open source databases have no valid use cases.""We should rebuild the entire internet on top of a public open source database.""Publically ownable digital objects are all scams.""My publically ownable digital object is worth $3 million because it points to a picture of a cartoon monkey."
In my opinion, these don't sound like great takes. Alternatively, the following seem reasonable:
"Open source event sourcing has some really interesting and novel use cases around ownership and digital public property.""A public open source database could lead to powerful network effects of data, which could enable some interesting applications.""Publically ownable digital objects make sense for certain assets, and can also be used to artistically explore ideas value and ownership in interesting ways."


Because owning your data also means having the freedom to visualize it the way you want, Fluxtream can be customized with community contributed dashboard widgets. Provided the right CORS headers configuration, those widgets can be hosted on an external server (e.g. S3). This means that tech-savvy end-users are able the tailor the UX to their own, specific needs without having to host their own server instance. They are able to experiment with their custom widgets directly in the browser and share them with others by just sharing the URL of their widgets repositories!
Widgets are accessible from the dashboards tab in the Calendar app and they readily have access to what we call the "digest" which contains all of the user's connectors data for a day, a week or a month
The digest is documented in the JSON resulting from calling the following endpoints.
Note: as a widget developer you don't have to make these calls yourself - they are made by the javascript framework as the user browses in time.
As you can see from the description of the JSON responses above, one of the main pieces of information, the
DigestModel's facets
field, is given as simply a Map<String,java.util.Collection>
.
The keys for this map (or dictionary, or associative array) follow the pattern [name of connector]-[name of connector object type]
.
The following widget documents the different types of facet models exposed by each connector:
All that is needed for hosting widgets is exposing a simple file hierarchy. Using S3 for instance, all you have to do is to enable Static Website Hosting, a (liberal) permission policy and a simple CORS configuration.
As an example, we set up a widget repository on S3 at https://s3.amazonaws.com/fluxtream-widgets/
Here are our CORS config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<AllowedHeader>Authorization</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>
And here's our Permission Policy (as edited with the AWS Policy Generator):
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "Policy1415285252707",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt1415285246165",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "s3:GetObject",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::fluxtream-widgets/*"
}
]
}
When scanning your widget repository for widgets, the first thing Fluxtream will retrieve is a JSON array of widget names from the [REPOSITORY_ROOT]/widgets/widgets/json URL
Check out our example: https://s3.amazonaws.com/fluxtream-widgets/widgets/widgets.json
All examples given here are available from github. The contents of this repository can serve as a starting point for your own experimentations.
In Fluxtream, go to Settings->More, and add the base URL of your widget repository – that would be https://s3.amazonaws.com/fluxtream-widgets/
in our example:
To get bootstrapped, please find a very basic example widget here
There are 3 mandatory files for a widget: the manifest, the main javascript source file, the widget's icon
Here's an example manifest.
{
"WidgetDescription" : {"en" : "Dummy Widget Sample"},
"WidgetIcon" : "empty.png",
"WidgetName" : "empty-widget",
"WidgetTitle" : {"en" : "Empty Widget"},
"HasSettings" : false,
"SupportedLanguages" : "en",
"VendorIdentifier" : "Fluxtream.com",
"RequiredConnectors": null
}
What follows is a very basic main js file for a widget. You will find a short tutorial below on how to create more involved widgets – including accessing the digest, storing and accessing settings and loading external javascript dependencies, but this will probably give you a taste.
define(["core/DashboardWidget"], function(DashboardWidget) {
var EmptyWidget = new DashboardWidget();
EmptyWidget.init = function() {
// loading our mustache template using the Widget's repository URL
// note that using requirejs to do this is theoretically possible as well, it's just
// more straightforward to do it using jQuery
$.ajax(
{
url:this.manifest.WidgetRepositoryURL + "/" + this.manifest.WidgetName + "/empty.mustache",
success: function(template) {
EmptyWidget.postLoad(template);
}
}
);
};
// This is called after we have loaded all templates and dependencies and the widget has been
// properly initialized and has access to the digest, manifest and potentially settings
EmptyWidget.postLoad = function(template) {
// hogan is one of the pre-loaded libraries and we use it to compile our mustache template
var html = Hogan.compile(template);
$("#empty-widget-widget .flx-body").empty();
$("#empty-widget-widget .flx-body").append(
html.render({"manifest" : this.manifest})
);
}
return EmptyWidget;
})
This has to be a 252x167 pixels png.
We will give a simple example of a somewhat more involved widget. We will cover:
To illustrate these points, the next widget we're going to use as an example is called moves-stats. It will use data coming from the moves connector. It's purpose is to show Walking stats for days, weeks and months. Users can use settings to show either aggregated or averaged out stats.
The digest is a big JSON document containing all the info needed for any of the Calendar App's tabs. It is always readily available to widgets and is always up-to-date with respect to the current time period chosen by the user. The following snippet illustrates how simple it is to process the digest's data.
var movesFacets = this.digest.facets["moves-move"];
var runningMinutes = 0, walkingMinutes = 0,
transportMinutes = 0, cyclingMinutes = 0;
// let's run through all moves activities and extract the durations for the different
// types of activities
if (movesFacets!=null) {
for (var i=0; i<movesFacets.length; i++) {
if (movesFacets[i]["hasActivities"]) {
var activities = movesFacets[i]["activities"];
for (var j=0; j<activities.length; j++) {
var duration = activities[j]["duration"];
switch (activities[j]["activityGroup"]) {
case "walking":
walkingMinutes += duration["totalSeconds"]/60;
break;
case "cycling":
cyclingMinutes += duration["totalSeconds"]/60;
break;
case "transport":
transportMinutes += duration["totalSeconds"]/60;
break;
case "running":
runningMinutes += duration["totalSeconds"]/60;
break;
}
}
}
}
}
Since we use mustache templates by default, injecting the data for dom rendering is trivial:
var activityDurations = {
walking : walkingMinutes>0 ? moment.duration(walkingMinutes, "minutes").humanize() : "-",
cycling : cyclingMinutes>0 ? moment.duration(cyclingMinutes, "minutes").humanize() : "-",
transport : transportMinutes>0 ? moment.duration(transportMinutes, "minutes").humanize() : "-",
running : runningMinutes>0 ? moment.duration(runningMinutes, "minutes").humanize() : "-"
};
$("#moves-stats-widget .flx-body").empty().append(
html.render({manifest : this.manifest,
activityDurations : activityDurations,
digest : this.digest
})
);
Settings are very straightforward to set up. First, you will have to set the HasSettings
property
of your manifest to true
. You then have to add one settings.mustache
template to your widget's
directory. Finally, 3 callback functions need to be implemented in your main javascript source file.
In our example, all we want to know is if the user wants his moves stats averaged out or aggregated. Here's an implementation of the settings callback function for this very simple case:
// this gives us a chance to issue an error warning. If everything's OK, just save the settings and reload the view.
MovesStats.validateSettings = function() {
var aggregateValues = $("input:radio[name=aggregateValues]:checked").val();
this.saveSettings({"aggregateValues" : aggregateValues});
MovesStats.reload();
};
// inject the widget's settings into our form
MovesStats.bindWidgetSettings = function(widgetSettings) {
$("input:radio[name=aggregateValues][value=" + widgetSettings.aggregateValues + "]").attr("checked","checked");
}
// initialize settings on first run
MovesStats.defaultSettings = function(widgetSettings) {
if (typeof(widgetSettings.aggregateValues)=="undefined")
$("input:radio[name=aggregateValues][value=no]").attr("checked","checked");
}
The settings.mustache
is a very simple form. Just remember we're using Bootstrap 2.3.2
<form class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>

<input type="radio" name="aggregateValues" value="yes">
Show aggregate values for weeks and months

<input type="radio" name="aggregateValues" value="no" checked>
Values per week/month are averaged out

</fieldset>
</form>
That's it! Now settings are accessible from this
in our main javascript:
// average out duration if looking at weekly or monthly data
if (this.settings.aggregateValues==="no") {
switch(this.digest.calendar.timeUnit) {
case "WEEK":
walkingMinutes/=7;
cyclingMinutes/=7;
transportMinutes/=7;
runningMinutes/=7;
break;
case "MONTH":
var year = Number(this.digest.calendar.state.substring(6, 10));
var month = Number(this.digest.calendar.state.substring(11));
var daysInMonth = new Date(year, month, 0).getDate();
walkingMinutes/=daysInMonth;
cyclingMinutes/=daysInMonth;
transportMinutes/=daysInMonth;
runningMinutes/=daysInMonth;
break;
}
}
Fluxtream comes preloaded with a few powerful and well-know javascript libraries:
However, to create compelling widgets, you might want to tap into the abundance of super powerful javascript charting libraries available these days. We did just that in the moves-chart widget.
Loading an external js library is done at initialization time and is, again, very straightforward, thanks to requirejs:
MovesStats.init = function() {
// load Chartjs (http://www.chartjs.org/)
require([this.manifest.WidgetRepositoryURL + "/" + this.manifest.WidgetName + "/Chart.min.js"], function(Chart){
MovesStats.Chartjs = Chart.noConflict();
});
MovesStats.reload();
};
In this case, our main template just contains a canvas
tag addressable by id.

<canvas style="margin:0 auto;display:block; margin-top:40px;" id="activityChart"></canvas>

Chartjs then makes it very easy to create e.g. a pie chart given a simple data
object:
var ctx = document.getElementById("activityChart").getContext("2d");
var data = [
{
value: Math.round(walkingMinutes*100)/100,
color:"green",
highlight: "black",
label: "Walking"
},
{
value: Math.round(cyclingMinutes*100)/100,
color: "cyan",
highlight: "black",
label: "Cycling"
},
{
value: Math.round(transportMinutes*100)/100,
color: "gray",
highlight: "black",
label: "Transport"
},
{
value: Math.round(runningMinutes*100)/100,
color: "magenta",
highlight: "black",
label: "Running"
}
]
if (!_.isUndefined(this.Chartjs)) {
new this.Chartjs(ctx).Pie(data,{});
}
We hope we have made it easy for developers to create widgets and to be able to experiment with them directly in the browser. Our goal is to let as many people as possible explore and visualize their own data in as many different ways as possible. Please help us make this a reality.
Above all, don't hesitate to contact us at info at fluxtream dot org!

Bitvector[N]

bits
Bitlist[N]
Union[type_0, type_1, ...]
, e.g. union[null, uint64]
Note: Both Vector[boolean, N]
and Bitvector[N]
are valid, yet distinct due to their different serialization requirements. Similarly, both List[boolean, N]
and Bitlist[N]
are valid, yet distinct. Generally Bitvector[N]
/Bitlist[N]
are preferred because of their serialization efficiencies.
We recursively define “variable-size” types to be lists, unions, Bitlist
and all types that contain a variable-size type. All other types are said to be “fixed-size”.
For convenience we alias:
bit
to boolean
byte
to uint8
(this is a basic type)BytesN
to Vector[byte, N]
(this is not a basic type)null
: {}
Assuming a helper function default(type)
which returns the default value for type
, we can recursively define the default value for all types.
| Type | Default Value |
|---|---|
uintN |
0 |
boolean |
False |
Container |
[default(type) for type in container] |
Vector[type, N] |
[default(type)] * N |
Bitvector[N] |
[False] * N |
List[type, N] |
[] |
Bitlist[N] |
[] |
Union[type_0, type_1, ...] |
default(type_0) |
is_zero
An SSZ object is called zeroed (and thus, is_zero(object)
returns true) if it is equal to the default value for that type.
Vector[type, 0]
, Bitvector[0]
) are illegal.null
type is only legal as the first type in a union subtype (i.e. with type index zero).We recursively define the serialize
function which consumes an object value
(of the type specified) and returns a bytestring of type bytes
.
Note: In the function definitions below (serialize
, hash_tree_root
, is_variable_size
, etc.) objects implicitly carry their type.
uintN
assert N in [8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256]
return value.to_bytes(N // BITS_PER_BYTE, "little")
boolean
assert value in (True, False)
return b"\x01" if value is True else b"\x00"
null
return b""
Bitvector[N]
array = [0] * ((N + 7) // 8)
for i in range(N):
array[i // 8] |= value[i] << (i % 8)
return bytes(array)
Bitlist[N]
Note that from the offset coding, the length (in bytes) of the bitlist is known. An additional 1
bit is added to the end, at index e
where e
is the length of the bitlist (not the limit), so that the length in bits will also be known.
array = [0] * ((len(value) // 8) + 1)
for i in range(len(value)):
array[i // 8] |= value[i] << (i % 8)
array[len(value) // 8] |= 1 << (len(value) % 8)
return bytes(array)
# Recursively serialize
fixed_parts = [serialize(element) if not is_variable_size(element) else None for element in value]
variable_parts = [serialize(element) if is_variable_size(element) else b"" for element in value]
# Compute and check lengths
fixed_lengths = [len(part) if part != None else BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET for part in fixed_parts]
variable_lengths = [len(part) for part in variable_parts]
assert sum(fixed_lengths + variable_lengths) < 2**(BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET * BITS_PER_BYTE)
# Interleave offsets of variable-size parts with fixed-size parts
variable_offsets = [serialize(uint32(sum(fixed_lengths + variable_lengths[:i]))) for i in range(len(value))]
fixed_parts = [part if part != None else variable_offsets[i] for i, part in enumerate(fixed_parts)]
# Return the concatenation of the fixed-size parts (offsets interleaved) with the variable-size parts
return b"".join(fixed_parts + variable_parts)
If value
is a union type:
Define value as an object that has properties value.value
with the contained value, and value.type_index
which indexes the type.
serialized_bytes = serialize(value.value)
serialized_type_index = value.type_index.to_bytes(BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET, "little")
return serialized_type_index + serialized_bytes
Because serialization is an injective function (i.e. two distinct objects of the same type will serialize to different values) any bytestring has at most one object it could deserialize to.
Deserialization can be implemented using a recursive algorithm. The deserialization of basic objects is easy, and from there we can find a simple recursive algorithm for all fixed-size objects. For variable-size objects we have to do one of the following depending on what kind of object it is:
BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET
bytes each).
BYTES_PER_LENGTH_OFFSET
), as it gives us the total number of bytes in the offset data.fixed_parts
data will contain offsets as well as fixed-size objects.Note that deserialization requires hardening against invalid inputs. A non-exhaustive list:
Efficient algorithms for computing this object can be found in the implementations.
We first define helper functions:
size_of(B)
, where B
is a basic type: the length, in bytes, of the serialized form of the basic type.chunk_count(type)
: calculate the amount of leafs for merkleization of the type.
1
Bitlist[N]
and Bitvector[N]
: (N + 255) // 256
(dividing by chunk size, rounding up)List[B, N]
and Vector[B, N]
, where B
is a basic type: (N * size_of(B) + 31) // 32
(dividing by chunk size, rounding up)List[C, N]
and Vector[C, N]
, where C
is a composite type: N
len(fields)
pack(values)
: Given ordered objects of the same basic type:
values
into bytes.BYTES_PER_CHUNK
bytes, right-pad with zeroes to the next multiple.BYTES_PER_CHUNK
-byte chunks.pack_bits(bits)
: Given the bits of bitlist or bitvector, get bitfield_bytes
by packing them in bytes and aligning to the start. The length-delimiting bit for bitlists is excluded. Then return pack(bitfield_bytes)
.next_pow_of_two(i)
: get the next power of 2 of i
, if not already a power of 2, with 0 mapping to 1. Examples: 0->1, 1->1, 2->2, 3->4, 4->4, 6->8, 9->16
merkleize(chunks, limit=None)
: Given ordered BYTES_PER_CHUNK
-byte chunks, merkleize the chunks, and return the root:
chunks
with zeroed chunks to next_pow_of_two(len(chunks))
(virtually for memory efficiency).limit >= len(chunks)
, pad the chunks
with zeroed chunks to next_pow_of_two(limit)
(virtually for memory efficiency).limit < len(chunks)
: do not merkleize, input exceeds limit. Raise an error instead.1
chunk: the root is the chunk itself.> 1
chunks: merkleize as binary tree.mix_in_length
: Given a Merkle root root
and a length length
("uint256"
little-endian serialization) return hash(root + length)
.mix_in_type
: Given a Merkle root root
and a type_index type_index
("uint256"
little-endian serialization) return hash(root + type_index)
.We now define Merkleization hash_tree_root(value)
of an object value
recursively:
merkleize(pack(value))
if value
is a basic object or a vector of basic objects.merkleize(pack_bits(value), limit=chunk_count(type))
if value
is a bitvector.mix_in_length(merkleize(pack(value), limit=chunk_count(type)), len(value))
if value
is a list of basic objects.mix_in_length(merkleize(pack_bits(value), limit=chunk_count(type)), len(value))
if value
is a bitlist.merkleize([hash_tree_root(element) for element in value])
if value
is a vector of composite objects or a container.mix_in_length(merkleize([hash_tree_root(element) for element in value], limit=chunk_count(type)), len(value))
if value
is a list of composite objects.mix_in_type(merkleize(value.value), value.type_index)
if value
is of union type.Let A
be an object derived from another object B
by replacing some of the (possibly nested) values of B
by their hash_tree_root
. We say A
is a “summary” of B
, and that B
is an “expansion” of A
. Notice hash_tree_root(A) == hash_tree_root(B)
.
We similarly define “summary types” and “expansion types”. For example, BeaconBlock
is an expansion type of BeaconBlockHeader
. Notice that objects expand to at most one object of a given expansion type. For example, BeaconBlockHeader
objects uniquely expand to BeaconBlock
objects.

title: "Computational Modelling of Theory of Mind using Reinforcement Learning"
excerpt: "Summer internship project with the lab for Integrated Theoretical Neuroscience (Prof. Hiroyuki Nakahara) at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute
"
collection: portfolio
---
We worked on understanding an implementing a computational model for theory of mind. Theory of mind is the ability to attribute mental states — beliefs, intents, desires, emotions, knowledge, etc. — to oneself, and to others, and to understand that others have beliefs, desires, intentions, and perspectives that are different from one's own.
The model was formulated as an inverse reinforcement learning problem where the environment is partially observable. The model tries to infer the agent's desires and beliefs by looking at its movements.

SwitchGear
In an electric power system, switchgear is the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgears are used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream. This type of equipment is directly linked to the reliability of the electricity supply.
SwitchGear is a module that will implement various failover protection layers for deploying apps at scale. The first module is a lightweight implementation of the famous Michael Nygard circuit breaker pattern.
Installation
This gem is in alpha and is on RubyGems.org. I’m still finalizing the API, but if you wish to help me get to it’s first stable release, please do!
Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:
ruby
gem 'switch_gear'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Usage
CircuitBreaker
In Memory
Here is an example of how you could use the breaker while making routine calls to a third party service such as Twitter:
```ruby require ‘switch_gear/circuit_breaker’ require ‘logger’
@logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
handles = [“joe”, “jane”, “mary”, “steve”]
def get_tweets(twitter_handle) http_result = [“Success!”, “Fail”].sample raise RuntimeError.new(“Failed to fetch tweets for #twitter_handle”) if http_result == “Fail” @logger.info “#http_result getting tweets for #twitter_handle” end
breaker = SwitchGear::CircuitBreaker::Memory.new do |cb| cb.circuit = -> (twitter_handle) { get_tweets(twitter_handle) } cb.failure_limit = 2 cb.reset_timeout = 5 end
handles.each do |handle| begin breaker.call(handle) rescue SwitchGear::CircuitBreaker::OpenError @logger.warn “Circuit is open - unable to make calls for #handle” sleep breaker.reset_timeout end end ```
You will see output similar to:
W, [2017-02-12T20:49:12.374971 #85900] WARN -- : [RuntimeError] - Failed to fetch tweets for joe
W, [2017-02-12T20:49:12.375049 #85900] WARN -- : [RuntimeError] - Failed to fetch tweets for jane
I, [2017-02-12T20:49:17.380771 #85900] INFO -- : Success! getting tweets for steve
I, [2017-02-12T20:49:17.380865 #85900] INFO -- : Circuit closed
Notice that we had two failures in a row for joe and jane. The circuit breaker was configured to only allow for 2 failures via the failuire_limit
method. If another call comes in after two failures, it will raise a SwitchGear::CircuitBreaker::OpenError
error. The only way the circuit breaker will be closed again is if the reset_timeout
period has lapsed. In our loop we catch the SwitchGear::CircuitBreaker::OpenError
exception and sleep (don’t sleep in production - this is just an example) to allow the Circuit to close. You can see the timestamp of this log,
I, [2017-02-12T20:49:17.380771 #85900] INFO -- : Success! getting tweets for steve
is 5+ seconds after the last error which exceeds the reset_timeout
- that’s why the breaker allowed the method invocation to go get steve’s tweets.
Redis
In an distributed environment the in memory solution of the circuit breaker creates quite a bit of unnecessary work. If you can imagine 5 servers all running their own circuit breakers, the failure_limit
has just increased by a factor of 5. Ideally, we want server1’s failures and server2’s failures to be included for similar breakers. We do this by using redis where the state of the breaker and the failures are persisted. Redis is a great choice for this especially since most distributed systems have a redis instance in use.
You can visualize a few servers that were originally in a closed state moving to open upon failures as such:
You can set up the CircuitBreaker
to use the redis adapter like this:
ruby
breaker = SwitchGear::CircuitBreaker::Redis.new do |cb|
cb.circuit = -> (twitter_handle) { get_tweets(twitter_handle) }
cb.client = redis
cb.namespace = "get_tweets"
cb.failure_limit = 2
cb.reset_timeout = 5
end
You need 2 additional parameters(compared to the Memory
adapter), they are defined as such:
client
- an instance of aRedis
client. This gem does not have a hard dependency on a particular redis client but for testing I’ve used redis-rb. Whatever you pass in here simply has to implement a few redis commands such assadd
,del
,smembers
,get
andset
. The client will ensure these exist before the breaker can be instantiated.namespace
- A unique name that will be used across servers to syncstate
andfailures
. I’d recommendclass_name:some_method
or whatever is special about what’s being invoked in thecircuit
.
Roll Your Own Circuit Breaker
The goal of this project is to help you implement a circuit breaker pattern and be agnostic to the persistence layer. I did it in memory and in redis both as working implementations to make the gem usable out of the box. There are other in memory data stores that would work really well with this and so you can easily implement your own.
ruby
class MyPreferredAdapter
include SwitchGear::CircuitBreaker
end
Forthcoming
- A middleware in Sidekiq using this gem
- Better in memory support for async tasks
- More examples
- More documentation
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.

This document explains how to connect your Intel® Galileo to the computer and upload your first sketch.
(:*toc :)
Figure 1 – Intel® Galileo Gen2 Board
Figure 2- You’ll need one of these USB cables.
Figure 3- You’ll also need one of these power cables.
To upload Arduino sketches the Intel® Galileo board must be powered up and connected to your computer.
Plug in the DC power supply into an outlet and into DC barrel jack on your Intel® Galileo board. You should see the green power LED light up near the USB port on the board. NOTE: If you are using the DC power supply included with the Intel® Galileo make sure you fit the apropriate plug.
Figure 4 - Intel® Galileo board with DC power plugged in and power LED lit
Plug the micro-USB cables to the micro USB connector on the board.
Figure 5 - Plug in USB cable into the micro USB port
Plug in other end of the usb cable to your computer.
Figure 6 - Plug the other end of the USB cable into your computer USB port
Wait a moment for the board to boot up. If you are plugging in your board for the first time and using Windows your computer will begin a driver install process. Allow this to complete before contining on.
Open the LED blink example sketch: File > Examples > 1.Basics > Blink. You should see a window similar to the one below.
Figure 7 - Blink example loaded into Arduino IDE
You'll need to select the Intel® Galileo in the Tools > Board menu.
Figure 8 - Select Intel® Galileo Gen2 from the Tools>Board menu
Select the serial device of the board from the Tools | Serial Port menu. The easiest way to find what port the board is using is by disconnecting your board, restarting the IDE, and re-opening the menu; the entry that disappears should be the Intel® Galileo board. Reconnect the board, restart the IDE, and select that serial port.
The port is likely to be COM3 or higher in the Device Manager, like in Figure 9. COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports.
Figure 9 - Select Intel Galileo Com Port (COM#)
Figure 10 - Select COM port from Tools>Serial Port menu is using Windows*
Now the bottom right should match the COM port number of the 'Intel Galileo Virtual Com Port (COM#)" from the Device Manager, like in Figure 11.
Figure 11 - The COM number should match the Intel Galileo Virtual Com Port (COM#).
The port is likely to be /dev/ttyACM0.
Figure 12 - Select /dev/ttyAMC0 from the Tools>Serial Port menu is using Linux*
The port is likely to be /dev/cu.usbmodemxxxx.
Figure 13 - Select /dev/cu.usbmodemxxxx from the Tools>Serial Port menu is using OS X*
Click the Upload button in the upper left to load and run the sketch on your board.
Figure 14 - Click the Upload button to upload and launch your sketch
You should see a "Done Uploading" and a "Transfer complete" when it has uploaded, like in Figure 15.
Figure 15 - You should see "Transfer complete"
The DS2 LED on your board should now blink with a 1 second delay.
Figure 16 - The LED closest to the USB port should now blink with a 1 second delay.
