Spinach Chicken Stromboli
Be careful to avoid making the dough too thin in the center, otherwise it won’t be strong enough to hold the pieces together while dipping. This would probably be pretty awesome with some Pesto mixed into the toppings as well, but that’s future scientific research to perform.
If you need to cook shredded chicken relatively quickly:
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat.
- Drizzle about 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil into the pan.
- Apply salt and pepper to two chicken breasts, then sear on both sides (about 3-5 minutes per side)
- Add about 1 cup chicken broth, reduce heat, and cover. Add more chicken broth if necessary, and let cook for 10-15 minutes, until the breasts reach at least 165˚F.
- Shred chicken breasts and use for the recipe.
Yields: 4
Preparation time: 20
Cooking time: 20
Ingredients
-
1 refrigerated pizza crust or equivalent homemade dough2 teaspoons olive oil, divided1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning3 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, divided1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese2 cups loosely packed spinach leaves8 oz shredded, cooked chicken breast (about 2 cups)2 Roma tomatoes, diced
Directions
-
Preheat over to the temperature indicated for the dough being used.Working on a floured surface if needed, roll pizza dough into a 12 x 15 inch rectangle.Brush 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil across dough surface.Evenly sprinkle Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese across dough surface.Keeping remaining toppings 1 inch away from all edges, even spread spinach leaves, shredded chicken, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese over the dough.Working from the long end of the rectangle, roll up from one end to the other (like a cinnamon roll).Pinch seam shut, and then pinch each end shut and tuck under toward seam.Place seam-side down one a baking sheet sprayed lightly with nonstick spray or lined with parchment paper.Brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil on top and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.Gently cut 3 or 4 slits along the top of the Stromboli (short slits perpendicular to the length of the roll).


The Festival: October 2 - 4, 2014
As part of the City’s official planning process for Market Street, the Festival will bring exceptional ideas to life as prototypes that can be developed into long-term fixtures of city streets. Hundreds of thousands of people along Market Street will engage with public design installations and give direct feedback to project teams and the City.
Open Call for Proposals: May 12 - June 27, 2014
We are accepting proposals for prototypes that bring Market Street’s sidewalks to life.
In June our jury will select up to 50 of the submitted projects to present at the Festival on Market Street in October 2014.
Selected project teams will:
- receive a $2,000 stipend - $1K at the beginning, $1K upon completion
- have access to the machines and tools needed to build their projects
- work directly with global design leaders in San Francisco
- interact with local communities to refine their visions
- have a platform to share and scale their projects in cities around the world
After the Festival, the City will work to make the most successful projects part of the Better Market Street redesign in 2017.
Community Context
Designing With and For Community: Consider the goals below, read previous Market Street reports, and engage people on the street.
Over the past several years, the City’s Better Market Street initiative has gathered extensive community feedback; the result, the public wants a more vibrant street life on Market Street. The City has responded with a commitment to redesigned sidewalks and “Street Life Zones” that make our public space more active and attractive. These are the zones we are asking YOU to reimagine and activate during the Festival.
As a placemaking project, the Festival is driven by community needs and desires - we are looking for project designs that do the same. Your project’s selection depends on your ability to listen to and respond to the community’s feedback as well as on the inventiveness of your design and the .
If you are a selected designer, you will frequently and considerately interact with the community where your project will be installed. The more resilient and responsive your prototype to community needs, the more likely it could be funded/produced as a more permanent installation. Required participation includes attending several Festival-sponsored public engagement activities this summer as well as gathering feedback from those testing your project during the Festival.
What We’re Looking For
Bold and imaginative projects that create a vibrant public space along Market Street.
We are looking for projects that encourage activity where people linger, socialize and spend time. We also want projects that identify Market Street as uniquely San Francisco, creating an experience of the city’s history, diversity, environmental commitment, and leadership in cultural creativity and technological innovation.
More specifically, we are seeking projects that address one or more of the goals outlined below. These are suggestions; we invite you to be inventive.
Goals + Criteria + Constraints
Goals
- Create a unique identity or “story” for Market Street’s diverse neighborhoods
- Increase invitations to relax, socialize and enjoy
- Improve navigation experience and connections to nearby neighborhoods
- Make the street more welcoming to underrepresented populations
- Address micro-climates along Market
- Improve the aesthetic experience of buildings and landscaping
Criteria

Abstract: Conﬁdence-weighted (CW) learning [6], an online learning method for linear classiﬁers, maintains a Gaussian distributions over weight vectors, with a covariance matrix that represents uncertainty about weights and correlations. Conﬁdence constraints ensure that a weight vector drawn from the hypothesis distribution correctly classiﬁes examples with a speciﬁed probability. Within this framework, we derive a new convex form of the constraint and analyze it in the mistake bound model. Empirical evaluation with both synthetic and text data shows our version of CW learning achieves lower cumulative and out-of-sample errors than commonly used ﬁrst-order and second-order online methods. 1

Andrew McCarthy: Did Trump commit impeachable bribery?
by Andrew McCarthyThe Constitution makes bribery a predicate for impeaching and removing a president. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is pushing the theory that President Trump has committed impeachable bribery because, as Schiff sees it, the president’s conduct violates a subsection of the federal bribery statute.
As in most criminal statutes, Congress includes several crimes in the bribery law. The offenses have gradations of seriousness, ranging from directly paying a public official a lavish bribe, to a public official’s indirectly agreeing to receive (but not ultimately receiving) some “thing of value” to be influenced in some official act. Like some of the lesser bribery offenses, the one Schiff is homing in on does not require an actual bribery (in the sense of an actual payoff).
Specifically, he is accusing the president of making a “corrupt demand.”
INDEPENDENTS SOURING ON IMPEACHMENT AS INQUIRY HEATS UP, POLLS INDICATE
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR OPINION NEWSLETTER
Under the law, if a public official, with corrupt intent, demands that someone provide him a bribe (a “thing of value”) as a condition for performing an “official act,” that is enough to prove guilt, even if the official drops the demand before something of value is exchanged.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
The Democrats’ theory is that Trump, intending nothing other the advancement of his own political interests (i.e., improving his 2020 reelection chances), corruptly demanded that Ukraine conduct investigations of his political rivals in exchange for two official acts — viz., granting a White House visit for Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and transferring $400 million in military aid authorized by Congress to help Ukraine defend against Russian aggression.
Schiff theorizes that this statutory bribery crime was complete when the demand was made; it makes no difference that the demand was dropped, and the Ukrainians got their aid. (Zelensky has not yet visited the White House, but Trump did meet him publicly at a session attendant to the annual U.N. festivities in September.)

This is testing the effect of a tiny bias.
Initially every level is filled with people with a randomly assigned gender (50/50), and a randomly assigned quality level (0-1, from a roughly normal distribution).
Each cycle, a random 15% of each level is culled; they've retired, or moved on to other companies. Each level, starting from the top, then fills their holes by grabbing the best people from the level immediately below; level 8 grabs the best level 7s, level 7 grabs the best level 6s, etc. Level 1 refills by generating new random people.
There is a very tiny bias introduced here - when comparing two workers, red workers get a 2% boost to their perceived performance. This is the minimum difference that Google's own internal scoring system (5 point scale, incremented in tenths, for 50 total values) can even indicate - in other words, it means that a red who "deserved" a 3.4 would instead get a 3.5, while a blue with the same quality gets the 3.4. This difference is far too small to even consciously give; we can't actually articulate the difference between a 3.4 and 3.5, so the difference is purely due to forces underneath our conscious mind.
The goal of this is to show how very tiny initial biases can be massively magnified by repetition.
Press this button to begin the process; it'll do 20 runs, running each until all the original population has left the company (guaranteeing that each level is composed purely of fresh people who have been promoted), and report the average results.

What is Lisplay?
Lisplay allows independent creators to get paid by running a membership program and connect with their fans. Register on Lisplay as a creator. After that your fans can join your membership program by paying a small monthly subscription fees. This way your fans will get a chance to support your work and you’ll have more time and resources to focus on the work you love to do instead of chasing advertisers and sponsors and worry about revenue all the time.
Why will anyone pay if my content is already free for everyone?
Why do your fans do anything that you request them to do?  But no. They take time to do things for your benefit because they believe that you deserve it. It's time that you start believing that too. Besides, you'll never know until and unless you try.
What do I need to do for my supporters on Lisplay?
Supporters are paying you voluntarily so rewarding them is not mandatory but it's highly recommended. You can reward them by thanking them on social media, providing them exclusive content and sneak peaks, chatting with and even meeting them in person if possible. You decide the rewards so it's totally up to you.
Do I need to post my content on Lisplay?
Not at all. Lisplay is a payment platform, not a social media platform. You keep posting your content on platform(s) of your choice. Lisplay will help you with running your membership program, handling payments and connecting with your supporters.
How do I get started on Lisplay as a creator?
Sign up on Lisplay and fill all the details required for a creator account. That's it. Once the registration process is complete, your fans can start paying you on Lisplay. Don't forget to share this good news with them.
How do earnings get distributed?
Creators get 90% of the total payment made to them. Transaction charges averages to 5% and we take the rest of the 5% as our fees. Please note that even if transaction charges are more of less than 5%, creators still get their 90%.
How do I get the money and when?
We start to transfer money to creators at end of each month and it takes about a week. We'll inform you in advance if there's any delay. To make sure that the money is going to the right person, we do a thorough verification of creators before we transfer them any money. We'll contact you for the verification process.
Does Lisplay have an app?
Our app will be available soon. Using our app, you will be able to share your exclusive content and connect with your fans. Stay tuned.
What is Lisplay?
Lisplay allows independent creators to get paid by running a membership program and connect with their fans. Through Lisplay, you can provide financial help to your favourite creators. Direct help from their fans means that creators won’t have to do jobs on the side or chase sponsors/advertisers. With your help they can keep doing what they love to do and you get to enjoy their creations and satisfaction of knowing that you made a difference.
What can I do on Lisplay?
Are there any YouTubers, musicians, bloggers, tutorial makers or simply any kind of content creator on Internet whom you really love? Would you like to support them so they can keep doing what they do? Yes? Then you're on the right platform. You can join the membership program of your favourite creators and pay them a monthly amount using Lisplay. It's that simple.
Why should I pay for content which I can access for free?
To keep receiving that content for free. Contrary to the popular belief, being a full time creator is not easy at all. Apart from being creative almost all the time, creators also have to worry about finances. Now, if their fans start to support them directly, they won't have to chase down advertisers and sponsors. They can simply be a full time creator, create the content you love and everyone lives happily ever after.
Do I get anything in return?
Fans pay voluntarily on Lisplay so rewarding them is up to the individual creator. Check their Lisplay page to know more about the rewards they offer.

Twitter reacts to Shafiul Islam’s ‘priceless’ send off to Rohit Sharma
by SportsCafe DeskThere’s no question as to why a bowler would celebrate intensely after getting the extremely dangerous Rohit Sharma out. The stand-in Indian captain was sent back to the pavilion by Bangladesh quick Shafiul Islam, who in turn gave the audience a reaction to be remembered for a long time.
Bangladesh set out to tour India at the start of the month without their captain Shakib Al Hasan in the side. But the way they started their tour could be summed up by their win in the first T20I in Delhi. In that game, too, Rohit was dismissed early and Bangladesh went to win the game by seven wickets. In the 2nd T20I, much to the visitors’ discontent, Rohit hammered a 43-ball 85 to steer India to an eight-wicket victory. Needless to say, Rohit’s wicket is monumental in any limited-overs game.
Bowling the second over of India’s innings, in the 3rd T20I at Rajkot, Shafiul Islam got rid of Rohit in just his third delivery. Rohit’s was termed ‘lazy’ by the commentators as the batsman tried to flick the length ball on the off stump he and ended up angling the ball with an inside edge onto the stumps. Hence, getting the leg stump uprooted completely. Shafiul, rejoicing the wicket gave a ‘priceless’ and intense reaction to it. Staring deep into the eyes of the batsman, the bowler roared in celebration.
The next three deliveries were faced by the new batsman KL Rahul, who failed to open his account and Shafiul ended up bowling the first maiden over of the series!
Woah!! Brilliant by Shafiul Islam!
Yup! Looked like a Lazy shot.
Hahahaha!! Lol.
And also a maiden wicket for Shafiul Islam!
He is proving himself today!
Great delivery by Shafiul!!

Task Description
You will be given
an n x m ASCII representation of a solved crossword
puzzle. Each single character represents a square of
the crossword puzzle. Blank spaces will be denoted by
an asterisk (*). Your job is to construct the list of
words that make up the crossword answers. Words must
consist of at least two (2) letters and can run across
from left to right or they may run down from top to
bottom. Each word should be printed along with its
corresponding number. A word’s number refers to the
number of the square that contains the first letter of
the word. Squares should be numbered from left-to-right
first, then top-to-bottom starting with number 1. Only
squares that start a word get a number.
Program Input
The first line of
input file (prob15.in) will be two integers n and m
separated by a single space denoting the number of rows
and columns, respectively, in the crossword puzzle. The
next n lines contain m characters each and represent the
solved crossword puzzle:
15 15
*t*s*o*e*f*g*m*
serendip*atonal
*n*r*y*s*g*i*g*

1964 Aircraft engineer Peter James Rowling and science technician Anne Rowling met on a train departing from King's Cross Station. Little did they know that King's Cross Station would be where their daughter would set the stage for the infamous platform 9¾--a gateway into a fictional wizarding world.
1965-83 As a child, J. K. Rowling compares herself to her own character Hermione Granger--studious and albeit sometimes pedantic. Growing up, Rowling's fantasy world began to formulate as she wrote and read her stories to her younger sister, Diane. Rowling's great-aunt introduced Rowling to the writing of Jessica Mitford. Jessic Milford is the writer of "Hons and Rebels"--an autobiography which describes Mitford's aristocratic childhood and conflicts between her and her own sisters Unity and Diana, ardent proponents of Nazism. This introduction to racism, ethnic cleansing, and Nazism later become essential allegories to Rowling's series. Rowling even states that the Harry Potter phrases 'pure-blood', 'half-blood' and 'Muggle-born' compared to "some of the real charts the Nazis used to show what constituted 'Aryan' or 'Jewish' blood.
1983 Rowling moved on to get a B.A. in french and Classics at Exeter University. She was a soft-spoken, competant but albeit forgetable student. Rowling often remembers preferring listening to The Smiths and reading Dickens and Tolkien to studying. However, superficial observations of Rowling were misleading, as Classics such as Iliad and personal readings such as A Tale of Two Cities and Lord of the Rings further sparked her imagination and directly influenced her later work.
1986 Upon graduating, Rowling went to work as a researcher and bilingual secretary at Amnesty International. While attempting to protect human rights at Amnesty International, J. K. Rowling was exposed to the darker parts of human nature all around. Here she conceived the idea for her Harry Potter series realizing "imagination is what allows us to empathize with people who have suffered horribly and to act on their behalf."
1990 Motion seems to be a common thread for genius ideas. Charles Dickens walked through London at night working on plots, Mark Twain was known as a constant pacer. Research out of Standford University found people on treadmills produced more creative ideas. Therefore, it should be no surprise, that it was while on a train trip from Manchester to London, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry "came fully formed" in Rowling's mind.
1990 Rowling's mother died after suffering ten years from multiple schlerosis. Rowling never told her mother about her writing but used her own feeling of loss to influence Harry's in her first book. Rowling moved to Porto, Portugal to teach English. She taught at night and wrote during the day.
1992-93 Rowling met Portugese television journalist Jorge Arantes in a bar after discovering their shared love for Jane Austen. They married and had a child Jessic Isabel Rowling Arantes. Four months later, the couple separated and Rowling moved with her infant daughter to Edinburg Scotland.
1993-95 Seven years after graduating, her marriage had failed, she was jobless, on welfare, and now had a dependent child. During this period, Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression. Her illness inspired her characters known as Dementors, soul-sucking creatures introduced in her third book. Rowling turned all her attention to writing. She often wrote in cafes where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.
1995 Rowling finished her manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on an old manuscript type writer. Christopher Little Literary Agents eagerly agreed to represent Rowling. The book was sent to twelve publishing houses which all rejected the manuscript.
1996 A year later, Rowling received the green light by editor Barry Cunningham from Bloomsbury. The decision came when the eight-year-old daughter of Bloomsbury chairman Alice Newton demanded the next chapter after being given the first chapter to review. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers asked that she use two initials rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K (for "Kathleen") as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother. Joanne Rowling officially became J. K. Rowling.
1998 An auction was held in the United States for right to publish the novel. The auction was won by Scholastic Inc. for $105,000 and Scholastic changed the title to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Watch: Shower of currency notes from building in Kolkata during search
It cannot be definitely said that there was a relation between the search operations and the shower of currency notes on the street.
by PTIKolkata: There was a shower of crisp currency notes from the sixth floor of a building in Kolkata's central business district on Wednesday afternoon while DRI officials were conducting a search in a private office on that floor.
Bundles of currency notes of denominations of Rs 2,000, Rs 500 and Rs 100 were seen being pushed out of a window in the sixth floor with the help of a broom.
DRI sources told news agency PTI that its officials had gone to the office of a private company engaged in export-import activities located on that floor to conduct search operations for alleged evasion of duty.
"Later reinforcements were also sent," sources said, adding searches were on.
However, it cannot be definitely said that there was a relation between the search operations and the shower of currency notes on the street below, the sources replied when asked.
Police said investigations into the incident are on.

lookup_dcookie - return a directory entry's path
int lookup_dcookie(u64 cookie, char *buffer,
size_t len);
Look up the full path of the directory entry specified by the value
cookie. The cookie is an opaque identifier uniquely identifying a
particular directory entry. The buffer given is filled in with the full path
of the directory entry.
For lookup_dcookie() to return successfully, the kernel
must still hold a cookie reference to the directory entry.
On success, lookup_dcookie() returns the length of the path string copied
into the buffer. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
- EFAULT
- The buffer was not valid.
- EINVAL
- The kernel has no registered cookie/directory entry mappings at the time
of lookup, or the cookie does not refer to a valid directory entry.
- ENAMETOOLONG
- The name could not fit in the buffer.
- ENOMEM
- The kernel could not allocate memory for the temporary buffer holding the
path.
- EPERM
- The process does not have the capability CAP_SYS_ADMIN required to
look up cookie values.
- ERANGE
- The buffer was not large enough to hold the path of the directory
entry.
Available since Linux 2.5.43. The ENAMETOOLONG error return was added in
2.5.70.
lookup_dcookie() is Linux-specific.
lookup_dcookie() is a special-purpose system call, currently used only by
the oprofile(1) profiler. It relies on a kernel driver to register
cookies for directory entries.
The path returned may be suffixed by the string "
(deleted)" if the directory entry has been removed.
This page is part of release 5.05 of the Linux man-pages project. A

Ont. Catholic teachers file for conciliation in talks with Ford government
by The Canadian PressTORONTO -- Ontario's Catholic teachers have filed for conciliation in their negotiations with the province.
The Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association says the province is insisting on drastic cuts, and has demonstrated what the union calls a total lack of understanding or respect for the bargaining process.
Catholic teachers voted 97 per cent in favour of a strike if necessary.
The union representing Ontario's high school teachers will be releasing the results of their strike votes today.
A media advisory also says the president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation will be talking about the union's “next steps.”
OSSTF is already in a legal strike position as of today, though it's also required to give five days notice before a strike and has not yet done so.
Three of Ontario's four major teachers' unions are taking steps toward potential strikes as they negotiate with the government for new contracts.
Elementary teachers are set to start a work-to-rule campaign on Nov. 26 that they say will target ministry and school board administrative tasks and will not affect student learning.
Negotiations between the province and French teachers continue.

See the documentation for examples on how to use this library in your own application. Please note that the library does not include mithril, nor the materialize-css JavaScript or CSS, so you have to include them yourself, as documented.
This repository consists of two packages, combined using lerna
: the lib
package that is published to npm
, as well as an example
project which uses this library to display the Mithril components that it contains.
To install the dependencies, you can use npm i
, or, alternatively, use pnpm m i
(assuming you have installed pnpm
as alternative package manager using npm i -g pnpm
) to perform a multi-repository install. Next, build everything using npm start
and visit the documentation page on http://localhost:1234 in case port 1234 is not occupied already.

Born in 1995, I was fortunate enough to grow up with the rapid changes in technology. I got to witness the end of some technologies and the advent of other technologies. The first computer language I learned was HTML - back when MySpace was a thing and you could customize profiles by embedding HTML. This happened at the age of 12. After buffing up a bit on HTML in high school, my first year of college unfolded and Java was the second computer language I learned. Ever since then, I've considered myself devoted to computer science. ❤
Some of my favorite hobbies besides coding include: studying Latin, looking at cute Shiba Inu pictures, gaming and reviewing games. I also currently manage and run a review page with over a quarter of a million followers.


SUPERCOP
A film review by Michael Dequina
Copyright 1996 Michael Dequina
(R) *** 1/2 (out of ****)
Jackie Chan should have no trouble keeping his new American fans--or gaining new ones--with Miramax/Dimension's wide release of Supercop, enormously entertaining 1992 second sequel (originally released as Police Story III: Supercop) to his 1985 classic Police Story.
Supercop, directed by frequent Chan collaborator Stanley Tong, boasts a sturdier story than Chan's recent American breakthrough, the messily-written Rumble in the Bronx (which was also helmed by Tong). Chan once again plays Hong Kong cop "Kevin" Chan, who this time teams with tough mainland security officer Yang (the incredible HK superstar Michelle Khan, a.k.a. Michelle Yeoh) on an undercover mission to befriend a criminal (Yuen Wah) to take down his drug kingpin brother (Ken Tsang). The title is something of a joke--the mainland forces recruit Kevin because his past extraordinary feats make him out to be a "supercop"; however, while he's definitely good at what he does and delivers in the pinch, he's also a cocky goofball. The true "supercop" is the no-nonsense Yang, who could very well be tougher than he is.
Miramax/Dimension has altered a few things in reworking the film for a stateside audience. There's a sharp new opening credit sequence (which rivals Mission: Impossible for best opening of the year) in place of the original's brief flashing of the title, stars, and director; and the film now opens with Chan's entrance, which originally came about five minutes in, after some lengthy exposition. But not all of the changes are for the better: there's (of course) a mostly ineffective English dialogue track (thankfully, though, Chan and Khan do their own dubbing); a new score by Joel McNeely, complete with some out-of-place rap tunes, that doesn't improve on the perfectly adequate original music; and the de rigueur closing outtake reel is scored to an excrutiating Tom Jones cover of that '70s camp gem, "Kung Fu Fighting."
The less successful alterations, though, don't detract from the film's existing charms, which, of course, is explosive action. Chan doesn't engage in as much martial arts as he did in Rumble, and the action here is more in line with Hollywood productions (i.e. more explosions and gunplay). But that is not to say the Supercop does not deliver some knockout sequences, which it definitely does. The most notable set piece is the incredible final 20 minute chase, which involves vans, cars, motorcycles, helicopters, a train, and some unbelievable derring-do from Chan and Khan. Khan is perhaps the real star of the film, engaging in more of the physical stunts than Chan, and matching his moves punch for punch, kick for kick (in fact, Khan and the character of Yang caused such a sensation that she was given her own spinoff starring vehicle: the disappointingly tepid, virtually action-free Supercop 2, a.k.a. Once a Cop, a.k.a. Project S, a.k.a. Police Story III Part 2). She and Chan also make a formidable pair between action scenes; their spirited verbal sparring packs as strong a kick as their martial arts moves.
What is especially notable about Miramax/Dimension's version of Supercop is what they _didn't_ take out--the comedy, which New Line mostly removed from Rumble. While the Americanized Rumble was an entertaining action flick, it didn't really show a lot of the comedic prowess that makes Jackie Chan so special and unique; thankfully, the revised Supercop keeps a great comic scene in which Kevin's girlfriend (played, as in the first two Police Story films, by the stunning Maggie Cheung) thinks he's cheating on her with Yang.
Supercop is a double-barreled blessing for Hong Kong action fans. Number one, it continues the long-overdue stateside success of Jackie Chan; number two, it unleashes the mighty Michelle Khan on an unsuspecting American public. Now, if only John Woo muse Chow Yun-Fat could make _his_ U.S. breakthrough...

April-May notes
23 May 2019Some deadlines disturbed the schedule of the monthly notes ; this post is for both April and May.
Cuckoo cycles
A guest post by John Tromp, on the Computational Complexity blog, is about the cuckoo cycle problem.
Basically there are some crypto-currencies, where the proof-of-work consists in finding cycles in a huge graph. This graph is the cuckoo graph, whose edges are defined by the hash function of the cuckoo hashing. The post describes briefly the method used by the miners for this problem.
Interesting to see a theoretical problem tackled in very practical way.
PCP videos
At the end of 2018, a workshop took place in Tel Aviv, about the PCP theorem and related topics. Great news: the talks have been recorded, and the videos are available on a youtube channel.
I watched Ronitt Rubinfield’s talk, and it’s very good. She tells the story of checkers and testers. Just a bit to arouse your interest: like many people, I know interactive proofs for difficult problems (isomorphism, satisfiability etc.), but actually testing and interactive proofs have started with things as simple as GCD.
Graphs defined by matchsticks, pennies and hinges.
Here are three types of graphs that have a description in terms of real-world objects.
First, matchstick graphs are graphs that you can draw on a table with matchsticks.
In more precise terms, these are planar unit-distance graphs, that is graphs that you can draw on the plane with only (straight) edges of length 1.
Second, penny graphs are graphs that can be represented by pennies on a table. More precisely, a graph is a penny graph, if it is possible to represent each vertex by a unit disk, and to place the disk in such a way that they touch only at the boundaries, and that each contact represents an edge.
Penny graphs are matchsticks graphs but the reverse is not true.
Finally consider the following experiment. Take a graph, replace edges by rods and nodes by hinges. Now, if when you push on some side, the graph changes shape, then the graph is flexible, otherwise it is rigid. For example a cube is flexible, and a tetrahedron is rigid.
Breaking symmetries, in cells
A common challenge in distributed algorithms is breaking symmetry: if two processors have exactly the same view, they have to take the same step. For example, on a cycle, if the nodes do not have a way to break symmetry (for example unique identifiers), then they all have the same view, thus they take the same steps, and will output the same thing.
Let us now take a look at biology. We know that an essential mechanism in living stuff is cell division, where a cell is basically replaced by two copies of itself. At the very beginning of a new organism, there is one cell, and then it divides again and again, and at the end you get a fully developed living being.
From a distributed computing perspective, int his context, it would be natural to have the exact same cell everywhere, with the same development. It is not the case: brain cells are not muscle cells. Ok, so a first reason it that there is the environment: two identical cells could evolve differently because the things around them are different. In some sense the environment breaks symmetry. But if you think about an embryo, the environment is probably very similar on one side or the other, so at least at the beginning it should be just a heap of identical cells, and it is not the case. So, what’s going on?
A quick look at wikipedia provides the answer: cell division does not produce identical cells. In particular, stem cells divide asymmetrically. The wikipedia article goes quickly into specific things, but from what I understand, that fact that the sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell “in one direction” gives a special direction, that influences the way the small stuff in the cell is distributed. Thus what is inside the cell is not uniformly distributed. This asymmetry is then propagated at the level of the cells. This is because the division of a cell happens in such a way that the two cells have very different small stuff inside (because some proteins make this happen this way).
Discrete analysis and light bulbs
Once in while I remember that the Discrete Analysis journal exists. It is one of these few journals that are really open access, in the sense of the Free journal network. One can check the list of free journals here. The relevant journals for complexity/algorithms/graphs are DMTCS, JoCG, JGAA, LMCS, TAG, and ToC.
Discrete analysis is mainly about analytic methods in combinatorics, thus not exactly my cup of tea, but I know it from the blog of Timothy Gowers. And once in a while, there is a paper that arouses my curiosity.
The website is especially well-done for readers like me. Unlike usual journals with ugly websites, and just a list of papers, Discrete Analysis has a nice picture for each paper, a small page describing it, with an introduction written by a member of the editorial board. All this is very nice, although at first sight it may look a bit too flashy.
A paper that “makes the cover” of the website these days is Fixed-energy harmonic functions. In addition to the introduction, there is the video of a talk about the paper. It goes quickly into maths that I can’t understand without effort, but the first five minutes explain the problem in a fun fashion. Consider an electric circuit with light bulbs. The circuit is represented by a graph and every edge has a weight: the resistance of the light bulb of this section of the circuit. Now you can plug the wires of a battery at two arbitrary nodes of the graph and ask for the energy dissipated on each bulb, that is for the brightness of each bulb. This is a classic exercise in physics, and on reasonable circuits one just has to use simple laws of electricity and a lot of time. For example the video features this circuit, where all the resistances are equal.
The paper studies the reverse problem: given a graph, and two nodes to plug the battery, how to choose the resistance of the light bulbs such that they all shine with the same brightness?
Pie rule
In the March notes, I mentioned some criteria for fair item assignment. One is well-known: the first player defines two bundles of items, the second player choose the bundle it prefers. This way the first player will design the bundles in the most balanced way. A more concrete setting is with a pie (hance the name of “pie rule”): the first player cuts the cake into two pieces, and the second player chooses the slice.
I discovered that something similar exists for games such as chess, go, etc. In some of these two-players games, the first player has a great advantage. To mitigate this, one can use the pie rule. Let say that we consider chess, and that A plays white, and B plays black. Then the pie rule says that after A has played the first move, B has the choice between:
- playing the normal way until the end
- changing the color, that is taking the white side, and letting A do the first move for the black, and then playing the normal way until the end (with A playing black, and B playing white).
This way, A has an incentive to make a not-too-good move to start, which mitigates its first-player advantage.
Multiplicative weight update
The multiplicative weight update method is a general algorithmic method, that is not known enough, and that has been discovered several times in several contexts. The basic description is the following. Suppose you have several experts, that give you advice for a series of decisions that you take one by one. After each decision, you redesign the way you aggregate the advice to take a decision. Typically you want to give more weight to experts that have given good advice. The multiplicative weight update method basically states that updating the weight in multiplicative manner is a good idea. It seems pretty specific but it is actually very general.
In addition to the wikipedia page and the references therein (including a survey by Arora, Hazan and Kale), you may want to take a look at a series of post that Luca Trevisan is currently writing on this topic. Actually he is mostly interested in the developments of this method that have been used in a variety of papers in complexity recently. The series of posts starts here.
Jeremy Kun also has a nice post about the method.
Maximum matchings that are not perfect
I recently had to think about graphs that do not have a perfect matching. The first example is of course graphs with an odd number of vertices. Next, you can find things like the one below (with a maximum non-perfect matching).
Intuitively, in each triangle, one node must be matched with a node outside the triangle, but the three triangles are looking for the same node in the middle, and as only one can be served, the other triangles must have an unmatched node. Actually, even a star with three leaves is a good example.
Remember Tutte theorem: A graph, $G = (V, E)$, has a perfect matching if and only if for every subset $U$ of $V$, the subgraph induced by $V − U$ has at most $|U|$ connected components with an odd number of vertices (definition from wikipedia). In the drawing above, take the middle node as $U$, you get three connected component with an odd number of vertices. As $3>1$, this graph doesn’t have perfect matching.
Tutte theorem is actually a special case of the Tutte–Berge formula, which states that the size of the maximum matching is: $\frac{1}{2} \min_{U\subseteq V} \left(|U|-\operatorname{odd}(G-U)+|V|\right)$
where $\operatorname{odd}$ counts the number of odd connected components.
Irreproducibility and unpublished failures
A paper in Nature identifies the “four horsemen of irreproducibility” that harm science. One of them is the publication bias: studies that do not conclude that there is a relation between two things are not publishable. Two problems with this are: (1) researchers have an incentive to find correlations, when they should have an incentive to find the truth, and (2) if because of statistics a false correlation can appear in 5% of the experiments, then only the wrong conclusion will be made public (after 19 teams on average have tried, and failed to find a correlation).
There are efforts to fight this problem. One is the notion of registered report. This consists in having the journal to review an experiment (the topic, the hypothesis tested, the method), before the experiment is made. If this set-up is accepted, then the experiment is made, the paper written and it goes through a second review. The paper is provisionally accepted after the first review.
In TCS and maths in general, this publication bias is not a central problem, as one can check the proofs, and hopefully be convinced that the papers published are correct. Nevertheless, we probably loose a lot of time trying the same approaches on the same problems, without making our failures public.
Planes etc.
As a follow-up to the note of last month about conference travel and its environmental impact, here are a few more elements.
An article (in French) about flights of researchers, mentions several alternatives. One is to have purely virtual conferences (such as this one). Another one is to have the conference distributed among multiple sites, for example one in each continent. Probably worth testing… By the way, remember that we can already enjoy a virtual TCS seminar: TCS+.
Also, it’s difficult to make efforts when you are almost alone to make them and that it even hurts you career. Maybe a charter or a code of conduct, for researchers of an institution or of a community would help. For example an important Danish newpaper now has such a charter (no domestic flights (remember it’s Danemark), less flying in general, less advertising for far away destination etc.). I couldn’t find good press coverage of this in English, but here is an article in the main French newspaper.
EDIT(July 2019): there actually exists some rules in some universities, see this Wired article.

Hi, I am going through chapter 4 in the documentation. I have a question about ∀. Is there a nice syntactic way to put a condition on a forall? For example I am going through the exercises where you define prime numbers. What I came up with was this :
def prime (n : ℕ) : Prop :=(n > 1) ∧ (∀ k : ℕ, (k = 1) ∨ ¬(divides n k)).
It seems like the ∨ part at the end is somewhat burdensome for describing a constraint. Some of the later exercises such as the Goldbach weak Conjecture were even hairier when using ∨ as a constraint mechanism.
all k, divides n k -> ...
you can do the following:
first, transform to the variant you probably intended (you're missing the k = n case and the order in divides
is mixed up)
def prime (n : ℕ) : Prop := (n > 1) ∧ (∀ k : ℕ, (k = 1) ∨ (k = n) ∨ ¬(divides k n))
then, use implication instead of or (as described by yury).
def prime (n : ℕ) : Prop := (n > 1) ∧ (∀ k : ℕ, divides k n → (k = 1) ∨ (k = n))
then, using the notation described in TPIL, you can do the following:
def prime (n : ℕ) : Prop := (n > 1) ∧ (∀ k ∣ n, (k = 1) ∨ (k = n))
Ahh I see thank you very much.
And remember that that's \|
