Yes, I use powerpoint. Please don’t read my emails.
Thanks everyone for staying here and not going to the next room. Thanks for the organizers for inviting me. Today I am going to talk about Rootstock. It’s a codename for a smart contracting platform that we are developing for SKY labs, which is a company we founded in 2015.
I am Sergio Lerner. I am from Argentina. Is there anyone else here from South America? I am a computer security researcher. I am also an entrepreneur. My first company was a high-tech medical company. When I discovered bitcoin, I completely switched to doing bitcoin companies. From the very beginning, I was working with smart contracts. This is a combination of many years of work.
I am going to start from some simple concepts about smart contracts. I hope I don’t bore anyone. Then I will start with the more complex things.
When I have to explain to my mother what I am doing, I found I had no explanation. There are two ways to understand this. One way is that a smart contract is a way to attach rules to money in a payment network. I can send you money, but at the same time restrict it so that you can only use it in some ways. The other way to understand a smart contract is where you have a program, and you give the program the control over the money. So you can have a distributed DNS system where you can have this system to register payments to register domains.
What’s the relation between Bitcoin and smart contracts? Bitcoin has a limited implementation of smart contracts. The multi-sig wallet is based on this smart contracting scripting system. This is called Bitcoin script. Taking the case of Bitcoin wallet, there are things we cannot do. We can’t apply limits on daily withdrawal amounts. We need some persistent memory to store the partial amount of money we are spending. We don’t have reflection, we can’t inspect the timestamp or inspect the transaction amount. Also, one of the things we would like to do with a wallet is have some payment addresses, and we can’t do this with Bitcoin right now because we cannot inspect the confidential transactions.
So why did Satoshi chose to implement this restricted incomplete non-turing complete language? There is a reason for this. It allows transactions to be replayed when there is a huge reorg of the blockchain. In that case, you can take a transaction from one of a branch and then put it into another branch. At the time that Satoshi thought abut this, I think he had a good design goal. But this time, we don’t see many huge reorgs, so we can start to think what if we could include introspection into transactions so that they can relate to the block and read the block timestamp for example.
So these are the restrictions of Bitcoin Script. We have no recursion. Not turing complete. Limited resources. No persistent memory. Almost no context inspection. Most of the interesting opcodes in Bitcoin Script are disabled. We want to extend these. We want to give Bitcoin the power of smart contracts, before Blockstream sidechain Elements Alpha becomes better known to the public.
Off-chain contracts is one way to do this. You could have oracle-based model, like Codius. This was tried by Ripple, but was later deprecated. Someone proposed a tamper-proof open-source hardware platform, like Andrew Miller’s recent paper. This is obviously difficult to do.
Another way to do smart contracts is to do on-chain verification and off-chain execution, using hybrid techniques like SNARKs (libsnark etc.) which is very promising but it has some drawbacks, like right now it seems to require a trusted setup, and it’s not battle-tested. So it could be problematic for implementing in Bitcoin right now. Zero-knowledge contingent payments are using SNARKs right now.
Another way is to do on-chain deterministic replicated execution. Once you have this setup, you can emulate smart contract execution on SNARK, but with a minimum cost. So the solution allows you to grow into any other possible of smart contract solution.
The history of practically implementing smart contracts begins in 2013 with QixCoin which was determinstic… created only for gaming and gambling. At the time I was working on peer-to-peer poker playing. I implemented a prototype which is similar to today’s Ethereum. I was aware of the financial applications but I was focused on poker.
The following year, Ethereum came around. And over the last year we had Counterparty which implemented an Ethereum-compatible VM. And then we presented Rootstock.
A smart contract is a program that is given persistent memory. This memory is protected from access by other contracts. It also has a digital safe deposit box where it can deposit other crypto assets, such as currency. It can create deposits and payments. It can receive messages and send messages, to interact with other programs and other smart contracts within the blockchain.
What is a distributed application? It’s a collection of smart contracts, together with the external applications that interact with them. One example is a protected wallet that stores BTC and USD and in order to pay $1000 per day into BTC or USD, to do this the smart contract to pay more each day, it would … to authorize more spending. And at the same time, it has to see what is the value of the Bitcoin each moment, to be able to restrict Bitcoin spending. It has to interact with two other smart contracts which are probably created by the same people. The design which includes 3 smart contracts, each one interacting with each other, and also interacting with external applications like graphics interfaces and gateways to other systems, etc.
So why did we choose Bitcoin? Why not create yet another new speculative token? It’s clear that Bitcoin is the most secured decentralized cryptosystem. With the advent of the 2-way peg, we can do almost anything with Bitcoin to do almost anything that other blockchains can do. Also, it has the most real-world use cases. It has a large head start, large network effect, and most importantly, we have been part of this community for more than 4 years and we love it. Even if there is argue all the time, we feel part of it.
The team is, these are the six founders: Gabriel Kurman, Diego Zaldivar, …. slide gone.
We setup ourselves into roles last November. We want this to be a smart contract layer for Bitcoin. We want it to be democratic yet decentralized. We want to increase the number of use cases for Bitcoin. We want financial institutions to comply with their regulations and develop their use cases over Rootstock. We want to incentivize the Bitcoin and Ethereum community to test our platform. Most important, we want high incentives for Bitcoin miners. They are the ones that are doing the security. We can’t forget that. We want them to be 100% mining on Rootstock. We have managed to do this I think. And trying to kind of solve a few things.
We are trying to bring all the actors, we are trying to test the different, bring all the actors to form a community and try to design which will be the changes in the standard. Of course, we want to have low transaction fees, high transaction rate, we want to scale a little more than Bitcoin, maybe 100 transactions/sec to 500 transactions/sec without trouble. There is a tradeoff with decentralization, it’s not free, I think we already have a decentralized Bitcoin so we want to be more scalable on top of Bitcoin.
These are the incentives for the Bitcoin ecosystem for the governance platform. There’s nothing new here. There’s a federation. Essentially, the two interesting protocols are for, for allowing Bitcoin users to vote, we are using proof-of-stake. This is something we are trying. It’s something new. We are going to try to reward, to give votes to full nodes. Bitcoin full node owners, or Rootstock full node owners, and through a cryptographic construction called proof-of-unique blockchain storage, where we can test onchain if these nodes are holding a unique copy of the full blockchain.
What’s the tech? What’s new in Rootstock that we have created? We have the smart contracts. We are doing this as a … compatible with… we’ve seen a lot of companies, each day we have a call with a company that wants to develop in Rootstock, we tell them OK, start working on Ethereum and then if you want you can switch. That’s important for us because we want to see a standard. We don’t want to have different smart contracting platforms. I think Rootstock can be that standard for Bitcoin. We have the 2-way peg which allows the Rootstock platform to use Bitcoin as a native currency. Because we have that fully 2-way peg, we need some new opcodes on the Bitcoin side, we will start with something simple, a hybrid - a federation and a sidechain.
The federation will have custody of the BTC funds. And then a sidechain on the Rootstock side, until we have a fully automatic 2-way peg on Bitcoin.
Also, we are doing merged mining. Bitcoin miners will be able to mine the Rootstock blockchain with the same mining power from Bitcoin, with no loss of profits on the Bitcoin side. We are making sure that when they do merge mining with Rootstock they will never lose out on Bitcoin mining.
The federation has a few rules. We begin to protect the network using checkpoints, distributed by the network. If a node wants to know if it is being sybil attacked, it can use the federation checkpoints as a second mechanism to make sure it’s connected to Rootstock. We are also providing a fallback system where if the merge mining ever goes below a certain threshold, then the federation can use byzantine fault tolerance consensus to take control and take activity of mining on their shoulders. I think this will never happen, but we want to make sure the network will keep running even if we lose miners.
The Rootstock network we are having interesting technical improvements in terms of low latency for example. What is different? Well, in the first release, it’s actually integrated interpreted VM compatible with the Ethereum VM. But in the next release, in the works, we are doing dynamic retargeting of some opcodes into a java-like bytecode. We will be able to use java to develop distributed applications. We will test this soon.
We will have a just-in-time (JIT) compiler for this.
Regarding the interface and higher-level applications, … called Web3. This standard is pretty solid. We are implementing that. If you write an application in javascript that uses Web3, switch the network and you can use Rootstock.
Regarding the 2-way-peg, there’s a problem. We have two blockchains. One is the main Bitcoin blockchain. The other one is the secondary chain. And you want to move BTC from one blockchain to another. The problem is that this is not possible. You have to lock or destroy the BTC on the Bitcoin blockchain, and then create the same amount of Bitcoin on the other secondary chain. Eventually you might unlock the Bitcoin on the Bitcoin blockchain. You need a protocol that enforces that the Bitcoin are never unlocked on both chains at the same time.
One is to use a federation, using multisig where, of course, you want to have renowned parties taking part of the federation. OP_CHECKMULTISIG.
The other solution is to use a sidechain, which is the concept that Blockstream has developed, which requires two new opcodes on the Bitcoin side. This is kind of problematic because these opcodes allow you to interpret other blockchains which uses the same transaction format as Bitcoin. This is limited. OP_WITHDRAWALPROOFVERIFY, OP_REORGPROOFVERIFY.
The third one is called Drivechain, proposed by Paul Sztorc, which requires a single new opcode. OP_CHECK_VOTES_VERIFY.
You could mix some of these solutions together. You can have groups validating and votes maybe. I am going to skip the part about how sidechains and drivechains work. Basically I would say that a drivechain is a way for miners to vote on which is the transaction that will unlock the bitcoins. If the miner engagement in Rootstock is high, then the same group of miners will have the same power about how to unlock the bitcoins, which is the same as in a sidechain anyway.
What we have now, what have we implemented? We are using a hybrid federated sidechain solution. We don’t need new opcodes on the Bitcoin side. There is a Bitcoin address for the federation. On the Rootstock side, we have a full SPV node running on the Rootstock side. That SPV node is synced to the Bitcoin network through external messages. This provides the locking and unlocking services for Rootstock users and Rootstock smart contracts.
The bridge takes a long time to transfer Bitcoin to Rootcoins (which are Bitcoin-specific coins). We must protect the network from hacking, long reorgs, and if that occurs, it could create bitcoins that live in both blockchains. We’re partnering with market makers and exchanges to provide liquidity just to trade 1 BTC for 1 Rootcoin, more immediately, in less time.
How does the federation work? It’s running special software called a FedNode that runs a Bitcoin node and a Rootstock node at the same time. The FedNode listens to events created by the bridge. It just has to obey the messages. The bridge will say here is the transaction to sign, the FedNode has to transmit to the bridge the signature, then the bridge assembles all the signatures, creates the transaction, announces the transaction that has to be broadcasted on the Bitcoin side. There is no intervention by the FedNode of which outputs to spend or anything else.
This is how it works. Basically, we have these bitcoinj nodes running SPV node, in the matrix, because these bitcoinj nodes think they are connected to the network. But really it’s a separate world in a smart contract. Nodes can send headers over this bridge, they can also send the transactions that lock the BTC, with an SPV proof so that the bridge contract can receive those BTC and release Rootcoins. So the bridge actually has a Bitcoin wallet, a copy of the Bitcoin blockchain, and a Rootstock account to unlock the Rootcoins. This Rootstock account initally has 21 million “BTC” locked in an account.
Here’s another diagram of how the federation works. There are several fednodes running connected to both networks. The other one is a fallback system which could take control of the mining operation if the mining hashrate goes below some threshold. This could be fooled, that’s true.
So what is needed to implement the two-way peg? We need new opcodes on the Bitcoin side, to do either a sidechain or drivechain. This could be done with a soft-fork or a hard-fork. We are sponsoring an approach to this, called Bit2, which will bring these opcodes to the community to consider which path is the right way to go. We would like the Bitcoin community to decide. Soon we will have much debate over how to extend Bitcoin. I think Blockstream will be very interested in participating in Bit2.
Another thing is the checkpoint protection provided by the federation, which allows for nodes to prevent Sybil attacks or at least check that they are being attacked.
Rootstock uses merged mining. We have 10 second block intervals. We have tested and simulated this. It works pretty well. We have no loss in pool efficiency for Bitcoin mining. This is important to us. We are paying fees to the bridge contract using the SPV proof, the proof-of-work that Rootstock uses. This diagram shows how a proof-of-work of Rootstock… it contains… the SHA…. you can embed the tag and a hash of the Rootstock blockchain header in the last part of the … and you don’t have to transmit the full .. transaction.. just the mid state, the tail of the coinbase transaction which has a hash and that hash maps to the Rootstock header, and you also transmit of course the different nodes in the merkle tree to be able to map that into the Bitcoin header.
One of the other things we have been working on is the integration with the most known and used mining pool softwares because we wanted the miners to be able to run our nodes on merged mining. So we created pladdings for these three implementations, ckpool, and another stratum mining pool. These will be available when we are ready. CoiniumServ, ckpool, eloipool (python).
So what’s new in terms of network? The network we aim to low-latency. We tested, we can have 300 transactions/second at 10 block sec interval. We have implemented mostly known tricks about how the network can operate. We have two-stage block propagation, we first propagate the header of the blocks in kind of a algorithm where the header propagates as fast as possible so that miners can mine only on top of the header. Miners have a timeout where they switch away from what they were doing, if the header does not come with block information.
We have some local optimizations in each node. Some local route optimizations can be made to embed into the network, a graph that is more friendly to block propagation. Local Route Optimization (LRO). You can find the near minimum path between miners using the network itself, and you don’t have to have another low-latency centralizing network like in Bitcoin.
We are implementing the GHOST protocol. We are implementing the DECOR+ protocol, for reward sharding between competing blocks. The selfish mining problem completely disappears. The competition for latency goes away. We can have much higher block rates because of this.
This is an explanation of how DECOR and GHOST work together. This is a case where we have 3 competing blocks. Block X, block W, block Q. The miners can include reference to these other headers. They can receive a reward for including those other headers. The block reward of block X is divided almost evenly between all of the competing miners. There is some extra reward that some miners will get. There is a punishment fee for having uncles, which pushes the network to optimization rather than having everyone trying to create uncles.
In the future, this will come in the first hard-fork maybe, we are doing the optimization in blockchain sharding, probabilistic verification, fraud proofs, we will be implementing Schnorr signatures. We will have agility. You can use whatever signature algorithm you can think of. Also we will be doing special proof-of-stake voting. Users can use that key to vote with their Rootstock stake, but prevent the … to have two different key lifetimes, one for the monetary asset protection, and another just for voting, which is useful for proof-of-stake.
This is a comparison between Counterparty, Ethereum, Rootstock VM implementations. We have tried to improve every feature of the network, like average confirmation time, mining security threshold, denial of service protection, incentivizing mining, etc.
Talking about distributed applications, moving from the technical part to the community part, micropayment channels, hub-and-spoke networks, peer-to-peer decentralized exchanges, issued assets, asset securitization, fiat-pegged assets with BTC collateral (using oracles), IP protection and registration like NameCoin and DNS, supply chain traceability. The whole network can be implemented with like 100 lines of smart contracting code. Lightning network will therefore be much easier to implement on Rootstock. We also want to support fair gambling over the internet, we want to implement crowdfunding, and also voting, prediction markets, these are all applications that have been widely discussed in the community.
HOw is the project going? RSK labs. In November we published a whitepaper, in December we started coding, in January we founded a company to have funding, we received seedfunding from a very strategic partners like … digital currency group, I don’t know if they are here. Thanks. We have received more than, in funding… we are sure that we will get to our goals. In February we hired 6 senior developers, 3 which are internal to Rootstock, 3 which are outsourcing. We are developing industry partnerships and with companies that want to work with us.
In March we are on schedule for first alpha release in April. How are we able to do this? We took the improvements from Bitcoin, we took code already written, we don’t want to write anything from scratch. We took ethereumj, and bitcoinj, we brought that code into Rootstock. Qixcoin.
In April, we are doing a private testnet for a few partners please ask us if you want to participate. In July we are deploying our first public testnet. In August, we will establish a federation. In September we want the RSK launch. In December, we are going to test release 2 of the platform. In January, we will have a governance body established to take positions on how the protocol should be improved in a more democratic more contentious way. And in Q1 2017 we will have our first hard-fork.
Rootstock is a combination of 4 years of blockchain tech improvement. It’s from the entire community, it’s not just our own work that we are reusing here. This is the benefit of being second. We want the Bitcoin miners to participate in the smart contract revolution. We’ve got excellent support from them. That’s very important to us. Also, we managed to get ethereum applications running on our platform without problem. Most improtantly, and since I come from the third world, we are working with the third world companies to develop applications for the unbanked. They are developing their pilot use cases over Rootstock. The whitepaper is available on our website, thank you.

Mirage was created to let you easily fake your JSON API. It's built on existing libraries, but brings along conventions to make setting up your fake server quick and painless.
One primary goal of the project is maintainability. New developers should be able to jump into an existing Ember project that uses Mirage and understand the API endpoints the app expects, be able to create data for tests, add new routes, and more, without having to understand a custom setup.
Additionally, an Ember test suite that uses Mirage can run anywhere a normal test suite can, since Mirage runs completely in the client. Many existing solutions rely on a node server, which can make CI integration cumbersome.
For questions about how to use Mirage, join the #ec-mirage
channel on the Ember Community Slack or ask a question on StackOverflow using the tag ember-cli-mirage
.
For feature requests or bugs, open an issue.
Can I share my app running on a Mirage server as a demo/prototype?
Yes! This is a great use case for Mirage. Simply enable Mirage in production, and everything will work just like it does in development.
This project seems complex. Is it a good idea?
Mirage tries to do a lot so you don't have to. Mirage server definitions end up being straightforward, which is especially important for long-lived projects with multiple developers.
As long as people are faking JSON APIs for testing and development, we should try to build on each other's knowledge, and establish some conventions.
What's on the roadmap?
Several things:

1995 Buick Riviera Rendered As A Modern Luxury Car
Can you actually make the 90s Riviera pretty?
by Chris OkulaThe Buick Riviera started life as a gorgeous luxury coupe in the 1960s, but by 1995 the Riviera’s clean muscular lines gave way to a swooping curvey coupe which ended production in 1999. The Riviera was an important car for Buick but that final 8th generation design never caught on as poor sales lead to its demise. This leaves us wondering, is it even possible to save the design of the final Buick Riviera?
Well, TheSketchMonkey is ready to get to work and do his very best to create a beautiful 8th generation, Riviera. Can his photoshop skills turn the bland Buick into a stunning coupe like the original?
Gallery: 1995 Buick Riviera Rendered As A Modern Luxury Car
When the Buick Riviera debuted in 1963, the new personal luxury coupe received high praise from the automotive media at the time. Buick used a bespoke body shell for the Riviera which was unique for General Motors products at the time. It was also lighter than other Buicks and used stiffer springs resulting in a fairly sporty driving experience when compared to contemporary American cars. During the 1963 model year, Buick limited production to only 40,000 units to create more demand and add exclusivity to their new coupe.
As time went on the exclusive Riviera slowly lost its appeal. Eventually, the Riviera was reduced to a familiar name to slap on a coupe shared across GM’s brands. With declining coupe sales in the 1990s, Buick decided it was time to put the Riviera to rest.
Breaking Buick news
TheSketchMonkey had his work cut out for him with this video. To take the bubbly Riviera body and turn it into something you want to buy required a great deal of focus and planning. With the continued decline of coupe sales, we will most likely never see a new Riviera from Buick, but if it looked this good I wouldn’t mind.

Little Nicky
Adam Sandler's latest flick has him playing the son of the devil. Must.... resist.... obvious.... one-liner.
But seriously folks I'm starting to think Mr. Sandler must be the most powerful person in Hollywood because every celebrity on the planet is willing to appear in his movies no matter how bad they are. Technically, "Little Nicky" should be his worst movie to date because it is so unabashedly commercial and outrageous, but it's not.
Sandler's style of comedy is directly responsible for a lot of the humor we see on TV and in the movies today. It's the "lowest common dominator" philosophy multiplied by stupidity. He's crude and lowbrow but he's also using ideas most others aren't. He'll do pretty much anything for a laugh and he never expects you to take him seriously. That worked back in his debut starring vehicle "Billy Madison" and it still works here.
As I mentioned before, Sandler plays the son of the devil, Nicky. Actually, he's just one of the devil's three sons and he's the "good" one. A goofy guy with a speech impediment and a wacky face who doesn't really comprehend what it means to be part of the evilest family in existence. Harvey Keitel plays Satan who's trying to decide which of his sons will succeed him. But since he's the devil he of course chooses himself which irks the two really nasty sons Adrian and Cassius who flee Hell to set up camp on Earth. That screws up everything, the devil begins to "die" and Nicky is the only one capable of capturing his two mean brothers and making sure Hell stays where it belongs.
The plots to Sandler's movies aren't exactly the most intellectually stimulating are they? His prior box office blockbusters have kept the story "realistic" for the most part, but this is his first foray into something more supernatural and more of a fantasy. When you're making a movie about a regular human guy you're kind of limited as to who the supporting characters and story situations can be.
A lot of the film talks place in Hell and there's minor characters running all over the place, such as Rodney Dangerfield as the original Lucifer, a gatekeeper with breasts on his head and lots of demons and other monsters. Sandler's brand of comedy has been pretty lowbrow before, but since Satan himself is actually a major player in this story, the cruel, mean comedy is a bit more justified. Not that I condone the scenes of sodomizing Hitler with a pineapple, but the stuff that happens up above on Earth where Nicky must track down and battle his brothers is funny.
Take for example a scene in which Cassius has possessed the referee at a Harlem Globetrotters game. When he makes the players bash their heads on the table, and throws everyone out Nicky steps in and the two battle each other with their "magic powers." The audience just thinks it's part of the show even though the things they do are totally impossible. Another showdown occurs near the end where Nicky and Adrian actually get into a pillow fight ov er who the next leader of Hell will be.
"Little Nicky" doesn't have the best screenplay in the world, in fact it's probably one of the most contrived to come along in a few years. However, I must admit most of the jokes pay off. Sandler and his crew tend to repeat themselves with jokes about transvestites, bathroom functions, bodily fluids, and outrageous cartoony characters that end up getting hurt a lot. Technically, this stuff isn't much different from a b-movie but what makes it work is that it's consistent, and so over-the-top you know there's no way it can be taken seriously. It's almost as if you're laughing AT the movie instead of at the individual jokes. But as long as you enjoy yourself then what's the problem?

public interface PSVIProvider
For implementations that would like to provide access to the PSVI in a
streaming model, a parser object should also implement the
PSVIProvider
interface. Within the scope of the methods
handling the start and end of an element, applications may use the
PSVIProvider
to retrieve the PSVI related to the element and
its attributes.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
AttributePSVI |
getAttributePSVI(int index)
Provides
AttributePSVI given the index of an attribute
information item in the current element's attribute list. |

FACT CHECK: Fake photos shared during Kogi/Bayelsa elections
by adminBy Seun DUROJAIYE
DESPITE public outcry against the rise of information disorder in Nigeria, partisan groups and social media trolls still circulated images that turned out to be misleading during the governorship elections held on Saturday, November 16 in Kogi and Bayelsa States.
Many photos have been posted and shared on various social media platforms, illustrating violence, disruptions of the electoral process and vote buying as captured in the two states. While some of the images tell the true story, others are deployed to mislead Nigerians.
The ICIR finds some of such photographs to be dated and explains how we arrived at this conclusion.
Number 1
An image of youths holding of cudgels was shared on three different platforms including; Vanguard Newspaper, a Facebook page identified as The Buharist Reporters and a Facebook user identified as Shima Ate.
On the Vanguard Newspaper, the image was used to report an attack of journalists by thugs at Ayaingba, Kogi state.
The same image and link was reshared by Facebook user Shima Ate on his personal page and the image was shared also by the Facebook page, The Buhari Reporters, that used it to report that “INEC cancelled polls in Ologi Ogbla LGA in Bayelsa State.
A search was conducted on the image using a reverse image search engine, Tineye, and it was found that the image has been used 140 times with the earliest post shared on July 2016 by a blog called Ansutalktalk.
Number 2
A Twitter page, Confluenceviews, shared two photos, claiming that they depict disruptions perpetrated by thugs in Kogi state. One of the photos shared shows a collection of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and a short gun. The caption shared with the photo reads: “Thugs nabbed with PVC and other materials this early morning.”
A check of the image was run on Tineye and it showed that the image was first shared in February 2019 by Naijapals under the file name ‘hoodlum PVC Ibom’.
Another image shared on the same page showed a group of men lying on the ground, and what appears to be seized weapons were laid close to them. The photo caption reads: “Some thugs identified to be working for PDP has been nabbed by the law enforcement agency”
A search on Tineye showed that the image was first shared in June 2015 on Lazywrita.com and tagged ‘political thugs’, the same image was again used by the same website in July 2015.
Number 3
Another photo was used by a Facebook page, Info Hq to report the disruption of elections in Anyigba, Kogi state, where hoodlums were reported to have snatched ballot boxes.
A search on Tineye showed that image used by four different news sites with the earliest being shared in March 2019 by Dailypost.ng.
The ICIR’s check shows that all these photographs were used in a way that is dishonest and therefore finds them as misleading.

- Researchers Ryan Wade and Gary Harper created a scale to measure the psychological impacts of sexual racism on young men of color.
- The results found that black men who were objectified on these platforms experienced higher rates of depression and lower rates of self-worth.
- Visit Insider’s homepage for more.
“No Blacks, No Asians.”
This isn’t language taken from a segregation-era poster. Rather, they’re “dating preferences” listed on some queer men’s online dating profiles, found on apps like Grindr and Scruff.
Queer digital dating spaces – especially those involving men – have a race problem. And while apps like Grindr have launched campaigns to combat racism on their platforms, there’s little existing research on how this form of racism impacts young men of color.
There isn’t even a way to clearly measure the impacts of this kind of racism in general. Most research on young gay and bisexual black men focuses on HIV/AIDS while neglecting other important areas of study, according to Ryan Wade, a University of Illinois social work professor.
This lack of data inspired Wade and Gary Harper, a University of Michigan health behavior professor, to create a scale and survey measuring the psychological impacts of Racialized Sexual Discrimination (RSD) on young men of color.
Overall, their research confirmed that racism on queer dating apps can have significant negative health impacts on men of color, including depression and feelings of lower self-worth.
The most common forms of sexual racism included men of color being excluded, rejected, degraded, or objectified by white men.
Racism in online dating spaces has “been a part of the popular discourse for a very long time within the queer community” according to Wade.

“Even with no profile photo, he said the number of messages he got increased four-fold,” Wade said.
The problem is so pervasive that Grindr launched the “Kindr” campaign in 2018 to try and combat RSD amongst its users.
“Racism is a serious concern for Grindr and the community at large, and this prompted us to launch our Kindr campaign to further the conversation about the various types of discrimination that happen online,” a Grindr representative told Insider.
But because previous research on RSD was primarily based on interviews and other personal anecdotal experience, it wasn’t possible to look at overall trends on the impact of racism on these online dating communities. In developing their scale, Wade and Harper wanted to quantify how RSD manifests online as well as its effect on self-worth and depression.
The scale broke down RSD into four distinct areas – exclusion, rejection, degradation, and erotic objectification.
When the researchers put their scale to the test on a survey group of 2,000 young men of color, they found people who were erotically objectified experienced higher rates of depression and lower rates of self-worth.
While being rejected individually by white men didn’t have a significant impact, those who reported being immersed in a dating app environment where whiteness was seen as the most desirable characteristic also reported higher rates of depression and negative self-worth.
Being objectified by white men had the worst impact on mental well-being for participants
According to Wade, erotic objectification stems from certain racial groups being stereotyped in the context of sex, like assuming that black men are aggressive or dominant in the bedroom.
Erotic objectification was the only kind of RSD in the study that was linked to both elevated rates of depression and lower rates of self-worth. Wade said that this finding was surprising for researchers.
“If you’re being objectified, theoretically that could provide an opportunity for you to find an intimate partner. And if that’s their goal, we didn’t know if that would maybe offset the negative effects,” Wade said.
Wade eventually wants to turn the research into a national campaign against sexual racism
Looking beyond the scale, Wade said that he and Harper hope to eventually use their findings to prevent RSD from occurring.
“I think of the success of things like the ‘It Gets Better’ campaign or the Trevor Project and how these have been successful to bringing awareness around things like LGBTQ bullying and suicide,” Wade said. “I could envision something similar to RSD.”

CHEM 202 is a one-semester, comprehensive course that introduces the students to the fundamental principles of organic chemistry including relationships between the molecular structure of organic compounds and their macroscopic properties. Some of the principles are illustrated with a variety of examples from nature and everyday life. The course covers the following topics: alkanes; alkenes, including polymers; alkynes; benzene and aromaticity; alcohols and phenols; ethers; aldehydes; ketones; carboxylic acids and their acyl derivatives; amines; alkyl halides; nomenclature; stereochemistry, including conformational analysis and chirality. Chemical reactions of the functional groups will be discussed along with the mechanistic details, including stereospecificity, of some of these processes. Biological molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, steroids, peptides/proteins and nucleic acids, along with their importance in living systems, will be surveyed.
To achieve these goals, we will study the structure and function of organic molecules with emphasis on their physical properties and chemical reactivities. An understanding of the structure and function of various functional groups is essential to master the content of this course.

AUGTOOL
Section: Augeas (1)Updated: 2011-02-21
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
augtool - inspect and modify configuration filesSYNOPSIS
augtool [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]DESCRIPTION
Augeas is a configuration editing tool. It parses configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native config files.augtool provides a command line interface to the generated tree. COMMAND can be a single command as described under ``COMMANDS''. When called with no COMMAND, it reads commands from standard input until an end-of-file is encountered.
OPTIONS
- -c, --typecheck
- Typecheck lenses. This can be very slow, and is therefore not done by default, but is highly recommended during development.
- -b, --backup
- When files are changed, preserve the originals in a file with extension '.augsave'
- -n, --new
- Save changes in files with extension '.augnew', do not modify the original files
- -r, --root=ROOT
- Use directory ROOT as the root of the filesystem. Takes precedence over a root set with the AUGEAS_ROOT environment variable.
- -I, --include=DIR
- Add DIR to the module loadpath. Can be given multiple times. The directories set here are searched before any directories specified in the AUGEAS_LENS_LIB environment variable, and before the default directory /usr/share/augeas/lenses.
- -f, --file=FILE
- Read commands from FILE.
- -i, --interactive
- Read commands from the terminal. When combined with -f or redirection of stdin, drop into an interactive session after executing the commands from the file.
- -e
- When reading commands from a file via stdin, echo the commands before printing their output.
- -s, --autosave
- Automatically save all changes at the end of the session.
- -S, --nostdinc
- Do not search any of the default directories for modules. When this option is set, only directories specified explicitly with -I or specified in AUGEAS_LENS_LIB will be searched for modules.
- -L, --noload
- Do not load any files on startup. This is generally used to fine-tune which files to load by modifying the entries in "/augeas/load" and then issuing a "load" command.
- -A, --noautoload
- Do not load any lens modules, and therefore no files, on startup. This creates no entries under "/augeas/load" whatsoever; to read any files, they need to be set up manually and loading must be initiated with a "load" command. Using this option gives the fastest startup.
- --version
- Print version information and exit. The version is also in the tree under "/augeas/version".
COMMANDS
In interactive mode, commands and paths can be completed by pressing "TAB".The paths accepted as arguments by commands use a small subset of XPath path expressions. A path expression consists of a number of segments, separated by "/". In each segment, the character "*" can be used to match every node regardless of its label. Sibling nodes with identical labels can be distinguished by appending "[N]" to their label to match the N-th sibling with such a label. The last sibling with a specific label can be reached as "[last()]". See ``EXAMPLES'' for some examples of this.
- quit
- Exit the program
- ls <PATH>
- List the direct children of PATH
- match <PATTERN> [<VALUE>]
- Find all paths that match PATTERN. If VALUE is given, only the matching paths whose value equals VALUE are printed
- rm <PATH>
- Delete PATH and all its children from the tree
- mv <SRC> <DST>
- Move node SRC to DST. SRC must match exactly one node in the tree. DST must either match exactly one node in the tree, or may not exist yet. If DST exists already, it and all its descendants are deleted. If DST does not exist yet, it and all its missing ancestors are created.
- set <PATH> <VALUE>
- Associate VALUE with PATH. If PATH is not in the tree yet, it and all its ancestors will be created.
- clear <PATH>
- Set the value for PATH to NULL. If PATH is not in the tree yet, it and all its ancestors will be created.
- get <PATH>
- Print the value associated with PATH
- print [<PATH>]
- Print entries in the tree. If PATH is given, printing starts there, otherwise the whole tree is printed
- ins <LABEL> <WHERE> <PATH>
- Insert a new node with label LABEL right before or after PATH into the tree. WHERE must be either 'before' or 'after'.
- save
- Save all pending changes to disk. Unless either the -b or -n command line options are given, files are changed in place.
- load
- Load files according to the transforms in "/augeas/load".
- defvar <NAME> <EXPR>
- Define the variable NAME to the result of evaluating EXPR. The variable can be used in path expressions as $NAME. Note that EXPR is evaluated when the variable is defined, not when it is used.
- defnode <NAME> <EXPR> [<VALUE>]
- Define the variable NAME to the result of evaluating EXPR, which must be a nodeset. If no node matching EXPR exists yet, one is created and NAME will refer to it. If VALUE is given, this is the same as 'set EXPR VALUE'; if VALUE is not given, the node is created as if with 'clear EXPR' would and NAME refers to that node.
- help
- Print this help text
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
- AUGEAS_ROOT
- The file system root, defaults to '/'. Can be overridden with the -r command line option
- AUGEAS_LENS_LIB
- Colon separated list of directories with lenses. Directories specified here are searched after any directories set with the -I command line option, but before the default directory /usr/share/augeas/lenses
DIAGNOSTICS
Normally, exit status is 0. If one or more commands fail, the exit status is set to a non-zero value.EXAMPLES
# command line mode augtool print /files/etc/hosts/ # interactive mode augtool augtool> help augtool> print /files/etc/hosts/ # Print the third entry from the second AcceptEnv line augtool print '/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/AcceptEnv[2]/3' # Find the entry in inittab with action 'initdefault' augtool> match /files/etc/inittab/*/action initdefault # Print the last alias for each entry in /etc/hosts augtool> print /files/etc/hosts/*/alias[last()]

Robert W. Pope Drug Store
Date of photo is about 1883 - 1885
The Robert W. Pope Drug Store
on East Court Street was located on the lot across
the street from the current Beacon Newspaper office in
At the time this
photo was taken the building was the Pope Drug Store. One of the men in
the front of the store was likely Robert W. Pope. His children: Bessie in front of store - on
steps of house with mother Sarah Pope are Annie Pope (Diehl), Johnny Pope,
Mattie Pope (died as young child), Grace Pope (Parker) and one other.
John Ogden
speculates regarding the people in the photo:
I would guess the
tall person standing in the back is a servant and the smaller ones around the
seated mother are the children. She
(tall woman standing back to left on steps) was not identified. I would guess Robert Pope is standing on the
street, and possibly the fellow seated is Edgar Armstrong, who worked as a
clerk in the store when he was in college studying to be a dentist. In the 1880 census Annie age 10, Bessie age
7, Mattie age 4, Grace age 1. Looking at
the age of Bessie who was identified as standing in front of store and the
census info, I would date the picture circa 1883-5.
John Ogden
provided the following items from the newspaper, the Spirit of Democracy (SoD), as further evidence of the date of the photo:
SoD, Tuesday,
August 8, 1876 - Mr. Robert Pope
will erect a business house on
SoD, Tuesday,
September 26, 1876 - Mr. Robert Pope is
having a frame building erected, which he intends for a Drug Store and
grocery. Helbling
& Stoehr are doing the work.

Clawpack Documentation Version 5.0 --- Under Construction! Not yet accurate |
Python is a powerful object-oriented interpreted scripting/programming language. Some version of Python is almost certainly on your computer already (on unix, linux, OSX type:
$ python --version
to find out which version, or just:
$ python
to start a python shell with a prompt that looks like:
>>>
You may prefer to use IPython, which is a nicer shell than the pure python shell, with things like command completion and history. See the Quick IPython Tutorial.
To effectively use the pyclaw and Clawpack plotting routines that are written in Python, you will need version 2.5 or greater (but not 3.0 or above, which is not backwards compatible). some modules that are not included in the standard Python distribution. Python modules are loaded with the import statement in Python and a wide variety of specialized modules exist for various purposes since people use Python for many different purposes.
An alternative to installing the packages discussed below, you could also use the Clawpack Virtual Machine, which has all the required Python modules pre-installed.
For use with Clawpack, you will need the Numpy module (Numerical Python) that allows working with arrays in much the same way as in Matlab. This is distributed as part of SciPy (Scientific Python). See the `Installing SciPy http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy>`_ page for tips installing SciPy and NumPy on various platforms.
For plotting you will also need the matplotlib module which provides Matlab-like plotting commands for 1d and 2d plots (e.g. contour and pcolor plots). This is generally the hardest thing to get going properly. See the matplotlib Installation FAQ.
Often the easiest way to get all the modules you need is to install the Enthought Python Distribution, which is free for academic users. Versions are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Redhat linux.
With some versions of Linux (e.g. debian and Ubuntu), you can easily install what’s needed using apt-get:
$ apt-get install python-numpy
$ apt-get install python-scipy
$ apt-get install python-matplotlib
For OS X, you might also try the Scipy Superpack. See also these tips on installing matplotlib on OS X.
Sage is an open source mathematics software collection with its own interface and notebook system. It is based on Python and the full distribution contains in particular the Python modules needed for Clawpack.
You can try Sage directly from the web without downloading, click on “Try Sage Online” link on the Sage webpage.
We are working on incorporating Pyclaw into Sage as an optional package.

The Notebook (novel)
Section Title: Background
This was Nicholas Sparks' first published novel.
It was the third written after The Passing and The Royal Murders, which he did not publish.
He wrote it over a period of six months in 1994.
Literary agent Theresa Park discovered Sparks by picking the book out of her agency's slush pile and reading it.
Park offered to represent him.
In October 1995, Park secured a $1 million advance for the book from the Time Warner Book Group , and the novel was published in October 1996.
It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in its first week of release.
The Notebook was a hardcover best seller for more than a year.
