Billiter, Mrs. Sarah E. Billiter
Source: Spirit of Democracy, January 24, 1895
Mrs. Sarah E. Billiter,
wife of Noah Billiter, living three miles southwest
of Sardis, Monroe county, Ohio, was born February 2, 1849, and died at her home
January 13, 1895. She was a good woman
of many parts.  Industrious almost to a fault she labored in
connection with her husband from a very small beginning to a competency. In her twenty-fifth year she united with the
M.E. church and gave her heart to Christ.
She was greatly afflicted for over two years. Having been stricken with paralysis that
caused her much pain, finally a painful ulcer of some character developed from
which she died after four months of great suffering. During all her affliction she trusted in God
and said near the close of life that God cheered her heart with His precious
love. Her funeral was largely attended,
conducted by the writer of these lines at the Locust Grove U. B. church in
which cemetery she was buried. She
leaves a husband, three children, a mother, three brothers, two sisters and
many friends to mourn her loss.

BIOGRAPHICAL: (from obituary and family information) He was
born in York Co. PA in 1818 and went with his parents to Guernsey Co., Ohio, in
about 1826. In 1841, that being the time before railroads
were in operation, and not being able to possess a horse or means to pay for
his conveyance, he made a journey on foot back to his old home in
Pennsylvania. Soon after his marriage
to Elizabeth Schell in Monroe Co., Ohio, in 1842, they moved to Pike Co., Ohio,
and entered 80 acres of what was then known as congress land. They resided
there until 1871 when they moved to Nebraska where he applied for homestead
land in Buda Precinct of Lancaster Co. and remained there, farming, until his
death in 1895. He was one of the oldest members of the German Congregational
Church of Princeton, having donated land for the church and occasionally
preaching when no other minister was available. Funeral services were held at
that church. The largest concorse [sic] of people
was in attendance that was ever witnessed in that locality for a funeral.

Death of Blanche Pugh. Last week we were called upon to chronicle
the death of Vernon and Bunnie Pugh, who died at Miltonsburg, the first, December 20, 1894, the second,
December 25, 1894; but now we give notice of Edna O. B., the eldest and only
child of Dr. J. H. and S. J. Pugh, aged 11 years, 9 months and 5 days, who died
on New Year s day, 1895.
The three children were taken away
within two weeks by diphtheria. After
the death of two, it was hoped that Blanche would be spared to comfort the sad
hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Pugh; but such was not the case. Death, with his icy hand, plucked the last
beautiful flower and left the home childless.
How lonely will the home be when the little steps so often heard, the
little prattle so much enjoyed, the little voices so well remembered, are heard
no more.
The chairs are vacant now, the toys
will remain on the shelf, the school books will be packed away, the hats and
bonnets will be keepsakes and the little shoes will be looked on with
tears. You can not call them back but by
faithful lives you can go where they are.
The parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their
sad bereavement. The interment took
place in the Ozark cemetery.
Five who surrounded the family board,
The voice of Mr. and Mrs. Pugh only is heard;
Blanche, Bunnie and
The Father has called the children home.
The three who re gone to rest,
Are now within their Father s breast;
Weep not for they have flown,
To their Father s heavenly throne.
The home may lonely be,
For them no more we ll see,
Their memory we ll cherish still,
And bow to God s own will.

In Memory of the Three Children of Dr. J. H. and S. J. Pugh.
The first was little
Who was called from earth away,
In the bleak month of December,
And on the 20th day,
And we saw him borne so sadly
From our earthly sight away.
And then on Merry Christmas,
When others were happy and gay,
The Reaper called for Minnie
And she too was carried away
To her lonely home in the churchyard,
To await the judgment day.
Yet, our eldest daughter was
left with us
To cheer our hearts bleeding and torn;
And did we think she too must leave us
And to the silent churchyard be borne;
Yet tis so! And the day after New Years
We last gazed on her innocent form.
Oh! Why was our home made so desolate
By the grim, silent reaper, Death,
Who within two weeks so fleeting
He chilled with his icy cold breath
Our only most cherished darlings
And now they lie cold in death.
The home nest is now left
empty;
By the birds that so lately have flown
But tis only our Heavenly Father
That is calling to him his own,
To dwell with him up in Heaven
That beautiful, beautiful Home.
Methinks I can hear them
singing
With the ransomed ones on that shore,
Around the white throne of Heaven
Where they ll live forever more.
And in this we find consolation,
They are not lost, but gone before.
Some day in Heaven we ll meet
them
When this weary life is o er,
And with other loved ones will greet them
On that bright, everlasting shore.

– EV3 Devices¶
LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 motors and sensors.
Motors¶
-
class
Motor
(port, positive_direction=Direction.CLOCKWISE, gears=None)¶ Generic class to control motors with built-in rotation sensors.
Parameters: - port (Port) – Port to which the motor is connected.
- positive_direction (Direction) – Which direction the motor should turn when you give a positive speed value or angle.
- gears (list) –
List of gears linked to the motor.
For example:
[12, 36]
represents a gear train with a 12-tooth and a 36-tooth gear. Use a list of lists for multiple gear trains, such as[[12, 36], [20, 16, 40]]
.When you specify a gear train, all motor commands and settings are automatically adjusted to account for the resulting gear ratio. The motor direction remains unchanged by this.
Measuring
-
speed
()¶ Gets the speed of the motor.
Returns: Motor speed. Return type: rotational speed: deg/s
-
angle
()¶ Gets the rotation angle of the motor.
Returns: Motor angle. Return type: angle: deg
-
reset_angle
(angle)¶ Sets the accumulated rotation angle of the motor to a desired value.
Parameters: angle (angle: deg) – Value to which the angle should be reset.
Stopping
-
stop
()¶ Stops the motor and lets it spin freely.
The motor gradually stops due to friction.
-
brake
()¶ Passively brakes the motor.
The motor stops due to friction, plus the voltage that is generated while the motor is still moving.
-
hold
()¶ Stops the motor and actively holds it at its current angle.
Action
-
run
(speed)¶ Runs the motor at a constant speed.
The motor accelerates to the given speed and keeps running at this speed until you give a new command.
Parameters: speed (rotational speed: deg/s) – Speed of the motor.
-
run_time
(speed, time, then=Stop.HOLD, wait=True)¶ Runs the motor at a constant speed for a given amount of time.
The motor accelerates to the given speed, keeps running at this speed, and then decelerates. The total maneuver lasts for exactly the given amount of
time
.Parameters: - speed (rotational speed: deg/s) – Speed of the motor.
- time (time: ms) – Duration of the maneuver.
- then (Stop) – What to do after coming to a standstill.
- wait (bool) – Wait for the maneuver to complete before continuing with the rest of the program.
-
run_angle
(speed, rotation_angle, then=Stop.HOLD, wait=True)¶ Runs the motor at a constant speed by a given angle.
Parameters: - speed (rotational speed: deg/s) – Speed of the motor.
- rotation_angle (angle: deg) – Angle by which the motor should rotate.
- then (Stop) – What to do after coming to a standstill.
- wait (bool) – Wait for the maneuver to complete before continuing with the rest of the program.
-
run_target
(speed, target_angle, then=Stop.HOLD, wait=True)¶ Runs the motor at a constant speed towards a given target angle.
The direction of rotation is automatically selected based on the target angle. It does matter if
speed
is positive or negative.Parameters: - speed (rotational speed: deg/s) – Speed of the motor.
- target_angle (angle: deg) – Angle that the motor should rotate to.
- then (Stop) – What to do after coming to a standstill.
- wait (bool) – Wait for the motor to reach the target before continuing with the rest of the program.
-
run_until_stalled
(speed, then=Stop.COAST, duty_limit=None)¶ Runs the motor at a constant speed until it stalls.
Parameters: - speed (rotational speed: deg/s) – Speed of the motor.
- then (Stop) – What to do after coming to a standstill.
- duty_limit (percentage: %) – Torque limit during this command. This is useful to avoid applying the full motor torque to a geared or lever mechanism.
Returns: Angle at which the motor becomes stalled.
Return type:
-
dc
(duty)¶ Rotates the motor at a given duty cycle (also known as “power”).
This method lets you use a motor just like a simple DC motor.
Parameters: duty (percentage: %) – The duty cycle (-100.0 to 100).
Advanced motion control
-
track_target
(target_angle)¶ Tracks a target angle. This is similar to
run_target()
, but the usual smooth acceleration is skipped: it will move to the target angle as fast as possible. This method is useful if you want to continuously change the target angle.Parameters: target_angle (angle: deg) – Target angle that the motor should rotate to.
-
control
¶ The motors use PID control to accurately track the speed and angle targets that you specify. You can change its behavior through the
control
attribute of the motor. See The Control Class for an overview of available methods.
Touch Sensor¶
Color Sensor¶
-
class
ColorSensor
(port)¶ LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Color Sensor.

A few days back I read an article by a prominent blogger Anil Dash.In that article he urged the web publishing platforms to stop producing web pages and instead focus on producing consumable streams.In his own words
"Users have decided they want streams, but most media companies are insisting on publishing more and more pages. And the systems which publish the web are designed to keep making pages, not to make customized streams."
There is some truth in what he says.The success of facebook and twitter prove the incredible demand of web streams.Digg is another application that filters the most interesting content from across the internet and generates a stream that is read by millions of users.But if we look at the most of the user generated content it is still in the form of orthodox web pages.For the publishing platforms of user generated content there are three schools of thought
The first one is represented by medium.It agrees with Mr. Dash and gives it’s users’ a system that produces consumable streams.Along the way medium has introduced more innovations.One of them being collections.Collections allow the writers to classify their content into groups.The folks at medium are adding new collections on a daily basis and as the content on their application grows they will become more meaningful.In a way the collections are a natural evolution of twitters’ tagging system.
Personally however I am not a big fan of collections.I like to read a wide variety of interesting content, which medium produces on a daily basis.But I have hardly clicked on collections and browsed through the classified articles.I am not criticizing the idea however, since I am sure that there must be users who only like to read about the stuff that they fancy and might have subscribed to some of those collections.
Unlike Anil Dash I am a big believer in web pages.They might be hard to maintain for the one who is making them but they give a sense of uniqueness to a website.I believe that the design of the website goes a long way in establishing a relationship with the reader.This is where I feel that medium falls short.
Despite several criticism launched at Svbtle I actually quite like it and often revisit several times a day to either absorb a few design tricks or to read an interesting article.It gives the user ability to map custom domains to their writings which is a big step in personalization.The design changes like medium are quite limited but I guess that would not be too hard to implement if Dustin chose to do so.But I understand that he is of the opinion that the current design improves readability, with which I agree, though I also feel that decision should be left to the users especially if they are paying a monthly fee.
Kudos button has been bashed around a lot.But personally I like it.It looks slick.The animation is smooth and it uses html 5 local storage in a clever way which brings a smile to my face.
throwww is relatively new but it has a few neat ideas that I really like.One is that it allows any body to just drop in and write their thoughts.There are no hassels.Then there is a respond to article feature which is a really neat idea and the one I think should be implemented in the commenting platforms of today to spark a meaningful discussion.It is simply a response to the article.But unlike comments the user is given an opportunity to sort out his thoughts and write a complete article instead of leaving a single line comment.
Well to be honest I am not entirely sure where brislink is headed.I want the users to own their content.Which is why instead of providing them tools to blog on brislink I give them a script to paste on their blog and then track the posts.But seeing the success of these platforms and the epic editors that the oopen source community is building I will probably intoduce a way for users to directly blog from brislink.One thing is for sure though, the online publishing is witnessing a revolution and I feel proud to be a part of it.
brislink has reincarnated as specter, the posts in the brislink blog have moved to my personal blog


Weatherwatch: how Europe is aiming to read climate change
by Paul BrownResearch into Europe’s rising land temperatures is helping scientists form a regional climate prognosis
Looking at weather maps showing the changes in temperature already occurring in Europe it is clear how lucky those are who live next to the cooling Atlantic Ocean. Even over the next three years the increased temperature gradient from west to east is quite alarming – with central Europe up to 2C hotter on average than 30 years ago.
Even in Britain it is up to 1C warmer in the south-east. Ireland, Cornwall and west Wales, close to the cooling sea, are the only places where the rise is minimal. Even the Outer Hebrides and the far north of Scotland are warming appreciably because sea temperatures there have risen quite fast too.
So that everyone can prepare for the disruption that droughts, floods and extreme weather events will bring, researchers are dividing Europe up into 25km squares and developing a regional climate prognosis for each of them for the next few years.
As scientists study past and present climate changes, the computer model can also calculate what the land surface temperature will be in a lattice of thousands of boxes across the earth’s surface. In Britain and Europe generally the forecasts are said to be most accurate because the sea temperatures off our west coast are the most comprehensively measured in the world.

Former Browns Star Calls Out Steelers QB Mason Rudolph
by Andrew HolleranPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph released a new statement today, addressing last week’s incident with Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns. Rudolph admitted he should have done a better job handling things.
“I should’ve done a better job handling that situation,” Rudolph said today. “I have no ill will towards Myles Garrett. Great respect for his ability as a player. And I know that if Myles could go back, he would handle the situation differently.
“As for my involvement last week, there’s no acceptable excuse. The bottom line is I should’ve done a better job keeping my composure in that situation and [not] fall short of what I believe it means to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and a member of the NFL.”
The statement isn’t sitting well with some, including former Browns star Joe Thomas.
“If we’re going to do prepared statement apologies 6 days after an incident, wouldn’t the statement being accurate be somewhat important? I mean, they had 6 days to come up with this statement and this is the best they can do?” Thomas wrote.
No one is excusing Garrett’s actions, but there are some who believe Rudolph isn’t taking enough heat for his role in the on-field fiasco.
Garrett, meanwhile, is expected to hear from the NFL soon regarding the appeal of his indefinite suspension.
We’ll get Steelers-Browns again in two weeks, too.

Solution Architect FAQ¶
Question 1:¶
From George:
Hello, I’m new to search engines, and there are a lot of concepts I’m not educated on. To make my onboarding smoother, it’d help if you could provide me with some definitions of the following concepts: - Records - Indexing
George, yes, it’s common for anyone new to search to feel a bit overwhelmed. We make an ongoing effort to arrange the concepts in a coherent sequence. It turns out that you are right on schedule because Records and Indexing are the topics that come up at this point in the process.
Records¶
An Algolia record (or object) is a set of key-value pairs called attributes. Attributes are similar to fields, yet they don’t have to respect a schema and can change from one object to another. You can also think of the attributes as facts which describe the same piece of data, so you will want to include any information that facilitates:
search,
display on the front end,
filtering,
or relevance.
Algolia uses the properties of the fields to improve search results. Algolia can also use the fields to create a sequence of records and provide results more quickly.
Indexing¶
Indexing is the process of arranging references to fields so that you can locate their the corresponding records without waiting to read the content. Indexing is also useful to calculate facts about the set of records; such as the total, the most/least recent, etc.
I’m also struggling with understanding what types of metrics would be useful to include in the “Custom Ranking.” Cheers, George
In general, you will want to consider custom ranking in any situation where you want to determine the order using a combination of several values. Let’s say that you want to broadly represent sentiment analysis by combining “Likes” and “re-tweets”. At index time, Algolia will create a third index, representing the combination of both metrics.
Thank you for bringing these questions to my attention. It helps me track the effectiveness of our onboarding process and identify where we can improve.
Question 2:¶
Hello, Sorry to give you the kind of feedback that I know you do not want to hear, but I really hate the new dashboard design. Clearing and deleting indexes are now several clicks away. I am needing to use these features while iterating, so this is inconvenient. Regards, Matt
Hi Matt, thank you for bringing this to my attention, you are providing me with information I can’t easily obtain. Please enjoy the beverage of your choice with the attached gift card. You will also notice a new badge on your profile for the power user achievement. Speaking of power usage, I want to confess that the design goal of the dashboard is to provide casual users with access to the features; and to illustrate the structure of the service.
If your goal is to reduce the number of clicks you need to make to update your config, I can propose two automation strategies to consider I’m happy to provide you with concrete examples of whichever one you pick:
On demand: you can trigger the edits/delete steps from a command line or via integration with a web app of your own.
Batch: you can extend your content management system to trigger the steps as part of some existing workflow.
Question 3:¶
Hi, I’m looking to integrate Algolia in my website. Will this be a lot of development work for me? What’s the high level process look like? Regards, Leo
Hi Leo, You can get value from Algolia in as little as 45 seconds by doing no more than:
Upload a description of your data
Paste three lines of code into the code for your website
Our business model is based on your continued success, so Algolia does provide additional tools and examples for customers who decide to go deeper. You can determine when you’re ready to explore additional integration, and we will be there to help.

"One person's craziness is another person's reality"-Tim Burton.
In the sense of Tim Burton a group of students from the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg faced the challenge to combine virtual reality technology and the horror genre in one game.
On both the artistic and the technical level, the students wanted to break fresh ground and walk new paths.
The project was exhibited with many other student projects at the Creativity Rules Festival in Hallein from June 8th to June 11th 2017.
The game tells the story of a gray future where, thanks to the latest technology, it is possible to enter another's subconsciousness and treat their psychological problems.
During a routine procedure, the player enters the subconscious mind of a former instrument maker. Shortly after the entry he has to realize that things don't go according to plan and that he is locked inside. During the search for a way out, the terrible past of the instrument maker is gradually revealed and the player discovers that he is not alone.
Aimed at a very simplified and abstract design the team wants to stand out from the mass of hyperrealistic horror games and offer their own distinctive style.
On a technical level, the students try to use new and innovative techniques to push the game onto a new level.


My first post to the O.E.M. forum, hello world!
http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/02/raspberry-pi-2/
"....This is the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B: a substantial upgrade from the Model B+ that will go on sale later today for $35/£25. The new board has some fundamental upgrades that could well warrant the upgrade for existing Raspberry Pi dabblers -- that is, if smaller wasn't better. Raspberry Pi Foundation lead Eben Upton told The Register that the new Model B "is a usable PC now." A fact borne out by official support for Windows 10."
I like the idea of using the new Pi for the the emonBase + the new unit seems also ideal to also host standard windows monitoring software ( SNMP + web portal etc....) all in one module.
Anyone have any thoughts on the timeframe or the shop to have this unit tested and for sale as a upgraded emonBase?
Thanks.
I'm looking to build a home energy monitoring solution from O.E.M.'s solution, one that can feed the metrics into my existing monitoring solution.
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
Is very appealing!
Apparently the Pi 2 B is totally compatible with existing B and B+ software, so it shouldn't need much testing if any with existing software. However "windows 10" will not be released until late 2015 and the "previews" are currently only available for x86 and x64 platforms.
You could email the shop (contact details) to ask about stock dates, but both the hardware and software for the Pi should be good except maybe for the pre-built SD card image as the basic raspbian OS image has changed. But once you have the OS up and running other SW should be fine.
Paul
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
The Pi 2 caught my attention as well. The increase in processing power and doubling of RAM is welcome and will be useful in at least two of my projects.
But the upcoming (if at all) support for Windows 10 is a weak negative as far as I'm concerned. The reason I'm drawn to the Pi is the low price. Requiring any kind of commercial software for a Pi-based project could easily kill it versus the same project using an open source software stack. I don't see Windows 10 getting much traction in the Pi community, but I could be wrong.
I guess my read on the market is that standard monitoring software is generally open source and I can't really see any advantage of moving the platform onto Windows, especially on resource constrained hardware like the Pi and Pi 2.
But to each his own.
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
Windows 10 for the Pi will be free.
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
I hear Windows 10 for the Pi will be free as well.
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
I'd like the ability to run virtualization software on the Pi 2. One VM configured to run the OS for the emonBase and one VM to host my windows based monitoring and reporting solution.
Does anyone know of a VM solution for the Pi?
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
windows may be free - but who cares - linux has *always* been free
Mind you Linux is open as well as free...
I like to know what's happening
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
Anyone got the current SD card image to work on the new Pi? http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/10134
Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Announced Today -official support for Windows 10.
Windows 10 will be free as is Windows 8 for any device with a screen size lower than 7". Windows has already been ported to run on ARM, both Windows Phone and Windows RT are ARM compilations. Microsoft has opened up .Net core which is available on GitHub - https://github.com/dotnet/corefx The Microsoft of today is not the Microsoft of the 90's. I see this as opening up further innovation which surely has to be a good thing, even if it is just because of greater competition

Warner, Labuschagne thwart Pakistan after early wicket
David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne pushed Australia to 70 for one after Pakistan made an early breakthrough before rain brought an early tea on the opening day of the second test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.
MELBOURNE: David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne pushed Australia to 70 for one after Pakistan made an early breakthrough before rain brought an early tea on the opening day of the second test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.
Paceman Shaheen Afridi had opener Joe Burns caught behind for four in the fourth over after Australia captain Tim Paine won the toss and chose to bat in the first day-night test between the teams at the venue.
Warner and number three Labuschagne were largely untroubled by the pink ball, with the Pakistan bowlers struggling to find the right length and produce much swing despite the overcast conditions.
Warner, who scored 154 in Australia's series-opening win in Brisbane, was 45 not out, with Labuschagne on 18.
Pakistan overhauled their pace attack after their innings and five run thrashing at the Gabba, with teenager Muhammad Musa receiving his first test cap from Pakistan great Wasim Akram before the start of play.
He replaced 16-year-old prodigy Naseem Shah, with Imran Khan also dropped in favour of more experienced quick Mohammad Abbas who was surprisingly left out of the Brisbane test.
Top order batsman Imam-ul-Haq returned in place of Haris Sohail.
Paine had little hesitation choosing to bat but Pakistan captain Azhar Ali was also happy with the decision, calling it a "win-win".
With his pace bowlers pitching too short and wide early, he will hope they can find a more testing line and length heading into the twilight session.

In the early days of Djokovic's partnership with Uniqlo in 2012, the Big Four (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray) was at its peak, trading Slam wins as Djokovic failed to build on his monstrous 2011 season. He finished 2012 as the year end world number 1, and won the 2013 Australian Open a few months later
However, between 2012 and 2014, Djokovic's record in Slam finals was poor, as he lost 5 out of 6 finals, including the US Open 2012 and Wimbledon 2013 finals to Andy Murray, and the French Open 2012 and 2014, and US Open 2013 finals to Rafael Nadal. Questions were being asked of Djokovic's mental strength in big matches
Djokovic answered his critics in emphatic style, winning the Wimbledon 2014 final in a classic against Roger Federer, before completing the non-calendar Grand Slam by winning all four slams in a row between Wimbledon 2015 and French Open 2016, a feat only matched by Rod Laver. He was now firmly in the 'Greatest of all Time' discussions


So there is no rate limit on how many requests I can send to the network? i.e. Am I rate limited on how frequently I can create orders?
jl777c02-Jan-19 05:32 PM

1
wbradt02-Jan-19 05:34 PM
Is this to prevent the network from being flooded? Or for something else?
jl777c02-Jan-19 05:37 PM
spam prevention can be enabled
it is just set on the minimum setting now but PoW for each packet can be changed with a #define
also there are 14000+ different netids, each a totally independent networl
wbradt02-Jan-19 05:52 PM
What do you mean by "PoW for each packet" @jl777c
Also, could you please tag me in responses if possible? I am using discord in browser so it's much easier to respond if I get a notification
jl777c02-Jan-19 05:55 PM
@wbradt each packet would do some PoW to be valid
wbradt02-Jan-19 05:57 PM
Sorry, I do not quite understand this. What PoW is being done? Doesn't PoW require computational resources? Whose are used? How is a packet "valid"--or rather how would one be invalid? @jl777c(edited)
jl777c02-Jan-19 06:09 PM
@wbradt each packet would do some PoW to be valid
any PoW that takes computational resources will force the sender to spend resources and thus make spam more expensive to do
packet would be considered valid based on the PoW rules, whatever they are. I used the standard leading 0 bits
but it can be like txpow, generate txids until first and last bytes are 0, then it would limit to once per 20 seconds
so a bit too much PoW
wbradt02-Jan-19 06:13 PM
Ok, I understand. So is the POW constant for all users? So it takes less time for a node with a "faster" computer to create orders?
@jl777c ^
jl777c02-Jan-19 06:16 PM
@wbradt it would need to be a network wide rule. yes, faster nodes could make more orders
wbradt02-Jan-19 06:30 PM
I think I may have misunderstood: Is requiring PoW to send a message (or "validate a packet") in place (or "a rule") on the main BarterDEX network? @jl777c(edited)
jl777c02-Jan-19 06:30 PM
i remember i had it in place, but set it to minimum work, so it only takes a few millliseconds
not hard to add/change
wbradt02-Jan-19 06:44 PM
Is the 1-second request limit in place? @jl777c
jl777c02-Jan-19 06:47 PM
each request needs a unique timestamp, which has 1 second resolution

Well, I guess, semantically speaking, this is a "bot channel"
@jl777c@artem.pikulin@artemciy_dice are any of you familiar with this: https://github.com/GuggerJoel/XMR-BTC-atomic/blob/master/whitepaper/xmr-btc.pdf
Do you think it would be feasible to implement in mm?
I think the first practical BTC <-> XMR atomic swap implementation would be pretty big news.
I thought XMR needed more features added to be able to implement atomic swaps but this whitepaper seems to imply it can be achieved using just multisig on the XMR end.
A draft of a cross-chain atomic swap between Monero and Bitcoin - GuggerJoel/XMR-BTC-atomic
artem.pikulin23-Jan-19 06:24 AM
@lukechilds Hi, I see this whitepaper 1st time. It looks similar to old swap protocol that was used in MM1, Hash/time locked txs on BTC side and multisig on XMR. It's possible to add/reimplement this in MM2, however there were no requests to add XMR previously.
lukechilds23-Jan-19 06:38 AM
Yeah, possibly for political reasons? Because Zcash and Monero are somewhat rivals and Komodo is a Zcash fork, Komodo members are more likely to be interested in Zcash as a privacy coin than Monero. So that could explain why there hasn't been much demand for Monero from within the Komodo community.
But I think this could be more of a publicity stunt that could bring a lot of attention from people outside of the current community. The Monero community has wanted atomic swaps with Bitcoin for a very long time. A working implementation of this that people can test out would be big news and hopefully get some well deserved publicity for Komodo.
But I'm assuming it would be quite a bit of work to implement so obviously you'd need to weigh up if it's worth implementing over other stuff you're working on
Also, due to the private nature of Monero, it's very popular on decentralised exchanges, BTC/XMR is the highest volume pair on Bisq. It could bring in some much needed liquidity
artem.pikulin23-Jan-19 07:31 AM
I'm not involved in any political discussions. Didn't ever see that XMR is not allowed to be mentioned here. From developer point of view it's possible to integrate. However it might be hard to support different swap protocol for every coin. Also it might confuse the user, e.g. Why do I need to have 2 BTC to sell only 1 for XMR?.
We can discuss it later if there's a demand from users to add XMR or any other coin.
KomodoWorld23-Jan-19 08:59 AM
I remember many people asking for XMR, also ptyx or someone else approached fluffypony but XMR devs were not interested to collaborate
or so I read

Hello
anyone here who can me help about BarterDEX ?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴23-Jan-19 12:15 PM
Best thing to do is ask away and someone will likely know how to help
DRE23-Jan-19 12:29 PM
@everyone which config i have to add to native coin that it works
i have open my wallet but it dont works, with linux no problem it works
not really... besides making sure the config file has the same name as the datadir
~/.electra/electra.conf and not ~/.electra/Electra.conf or something else...
if the config file has the same name, confpath is not needed and everything works fine
in Linux i made a symlink to correct this: cd ~/.electra && ln -s electra.conf Electra.conf
DRE23-Jan-19 12:56 PM
@cipi where i can find electra.conf in barterdex
cipi23-Jan-19 12:57 PM
electra.conf is the config file of the wallet... it is located in the datadir, where wallet.dat and blockchain-data is also located
i would change the code of the daemon, so that the config file is named electra.conf and not Electra.conf
yes... if the wallet would use electra.conf, confpath can be removed from the barterdex config... it is the best solution
i can also remove confpath from coin database for ECA and let the people deal with it... either the devs correct this in the code, or the users make symlinks
DRE23-Jan-19 01:06 PM
So to understand, I change nothing in Electra folder and remove only the electra path in BarterDex coin?
cipi23-Jan-19 01:07 PM
yes, if you remove confpath and the config file is called electra.conf, it will work... even under Windows
"name": "electra" is the paramater that normally tells BarterDEX where to find the config
it is ~/.$name/$name.conf
DRE23-Jan-19 01:10 PM
thank you, sorry for my english,
so I changed the Electra.conf to electra.conf in appdata and now change the line "confpath" in BarterDex Coin: "USERHOME / .electra / Electra.conf" to "confpath": "(edited)
cipi23-Jan-19 01:10 PM
remove the line confpath completely...
but as i said: the wallet expects the file to be named Electra.conf... it must be either corrected in the source code of the wallet or you will have to make a symlink electra.conf -> Electra.conf(edited)
or make a copy... so that you have 2 files with the same content, one named electra.conf and the other Electra.conf(edited)
but best is to fix this in the source code of the wallet, so that it uses electra.conf
DRE23-Jan-19 01:15 PM
cant create second Electra conf windows says its already available
i deleted "confpath": "USERHOME/.electra/Electra.conf"
but dont works
cipi23-Jan-19 01:16 PM
lol ... windblows filesystem is total crap
what do you mean with "doesn't work"? what happens if you launch BarterDEX?
DRE23-Jan-19 01:17 PM
cant send images here
maybe you can help via teamviewer
cipi23-Jan-19 01:18 PM
don't have windows, only linux
Jenova23-Jan-19 01:19 PM
@cipi hey Cipi
just pop here
so i tested the Barterdex App on linux, all good. Electra is well added and setup in the Dex.

Abraham targets Euro glory after first England goal
by AGENCE FRANCE PRESSELONDON, United Kingdom, Nov 15 – Tammy Abraham has set his sights on firing England to Euro 2020 glory after the Chelsea striker scored his first senior international goal in the demolition of Montenegro.
Abraham came off the bench to wrap up England’s 7-0 victory at Wembley on Thursday as Gareth Southgate’s side booked their place at Euro 2020.
His maiden England goal continued a memorable 2019 for the 22-year-old after winning promotion to the Premier League while on loan with Aston Villa last season and scoring 11 goals in 18 games for Chelsea this term.
With three group games and a possible semi-final and final at Wembley, Euro 2020 is almost a home tournament for England and Abraham is confident Southgate’s men can get their hands on the silverware.
“Being at the Euros, winning it, top four or top two in the Premier League. Just believing! The sky’s the limit,” Abraham said of his dreams for 2020.
“Hopefully, hopefully, I don’t want to jinx myself.”
Asked if England can finally win their first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup, Abraham said: “I believe so.”
Abraham’s game has gone to the next level this season, but he thinks he can get even better working alongside England captain Harry Kane.
Kane took his tally to 31 goals for England with a hat-trick against Montenegro, moving the Tottenham forward above Alan Shearer, Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney on his country’s all-time list.
“It’s always been a dream for me to be on the same pitch as him.
“To be on the same pitch with him, training with him every day, it’s always nice to have that type of player to learn from.
“Even in training practising, you can see his professionalism. He wants to be the best, to have someone like that to look up to is a dream.”

9 Generalized linear models (GLMs)
9.1 Model form
Instead of the model being a direct linear combination of the variables, there is an intermediate step called a link function \(g\).
\[ g(\mathbf{\hat{y}}) = \mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta} \]
This implies that the response \(\mathbf{y}\) is related to the linear predictor \(\mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta}\) through the inverse link function.
\[ \mathbf{\hat{y}} = g^-1(\mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta}) \]
This means that \(g(.)\) must be an invertable. For example, if \(g\) is the natural logarithm (aka, the “log-link”), then
\[ log(\mathbf{\hat{y}}) = \mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta} \Rightarrow \mathbf{\hat{y}} = e^{\mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta}} \]
This is useful when the distribution of \(Y\) is skewed, as taking the log corrects skewness.
You might be asking, what if the distribution of \(Y\) is not normal, no matter what choice we have for \(g\)? The short answer is that we can change our assumption of the distribution of \(Y\), and use this to change the parameters. If you have taken exam STAM then you are familiar with maximum likelihood estimation.
We have a response \(\mathbf{Y}\), and we fit a distribution to \(\mathbf{Y} | \mathbf{X}\). This is the target variable conditioned on the data. For each \(y_i\), each observation, we assign a probability \(f_Y(y_i)\)
\[ f_y(y_i | X_1 = x_1, X_2 = x_2, ..., X_p = x_p) = Pr(Y = y_i | \mathbf{X}) \]
Now, when we choose the response family, we are simply changing \(f_Y\). If we say that the response family is Gaussian, then \(f\) has a Gaussian PDF. If we are modeling counts, then \(f\) is a Poisson PDF. This only works if \(f\) is in the exponential family of distributions, which consists of the common names such as Gaussian, Binomial, Gamma, Inverse Gamma, and so forth. Reading the CAS Monograph 5 will provide more detail into this.
The possible combinations of link functions and distribution families are summarized nicely on Wikipedia.
For this exam, a common question is to ask candiates to choose the best distribution and link function. There is no all-encompasing answer, but a few suggestions are
- If \(Y\) is counting something, such as the number of claims, number of accidents, or some other discrete and positive counting sequence, use the Poisson;
- If \(Y\) contains negative values, then do not use the Exponential, Gamma, or Inverse Gaussian as these are strictly positive. Conversely, if \(Y\) is only positive, such as the price of a policy (price is always > 0), or the claim costs, then these are good choices;
- If \(Y\) is binary, the the binomial response with either a Probit or Logit link. The Logit is more common.
- If \(Y\) has more than two categories, the multinomial distribution with either the Probit or Logic link (See Logistic Regression)
The exam will always ask you to interpret the GLM. These questions can usually be answered by inverting the link function and interpreting the coefficients. In the case of the log link, simply take the exponent of the coefficients and each of these represents a “relativity” factor.
\[ log(\mathbf{\hat{y}}) = \mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta} \Rightarrow \mathbf{\hat{y}} = e^{\mathbf{X} \mathbf{\beta}} \]
For a single observation \(y_i\), this is
\[ \text{exp}(\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_{i1} + \beta_2 x_{i2} + ... + \beta_p x_{ip}) = \\ e^{\beta_0} e^{\beta_1 x_{i1}}e^{\beta_2 x_{i2}} ... e^{\beta_p x_{ip}} = R_0 R_2 R_3 ... R_{p} \]
Where \(R_k\) is the relativity of the kth variable. This terminology is from insurance ratemaking, where actuaries need to be able to explain the impact of each variable in pricing insurance. The data science community does not use this language.
For binary outcomes with logit or probit link, there is no easy interpretation. This has come up in at least one past sample exam, and the solution was to create “psuedo” observations and observe how changing each \(x_k\) would change the predicted value. Due to the time requirements, this is unlikely to come up on an exam. So if you are asked to use a logit or probit link, saying that the result is not easy to interpret should suffice.
9.2 Example
Just as with OLS, there is a formula
and data argument
. In addition, we need to specify the response distribution and link function.
model = glm(formula = charges ~ age + sex + children,
family = gaussian(link = "log"),
data = health_insurance)
We see that age
, sex
, and children
are all significant (p <0.01). Reading off the coefficient signs, we see that claims
- Increase as age increases
- Are higher for men
- Are slightly higher for patients wich children
## # A tibble: 4 x 5
## term estimate std.error statistic p.value
## <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
## 1 (Intercept) 8.55 0.0953 89.7 0.
## 2 age 0.0201 0.00179 11.3 3.12e-28
## 3 sexmale 0.112 0.0459 2.44 1.49e- 2
## 4 children 0.0489 0.0182 2.69 7.29e- 3
9.3 Reference levels
When a categorical variable is used in a GLM, the model actually uses indicator variables for each level. The default reference level is the order of the R factors. For the sex
variable, the order is female
and then male
. This means that the base level is female
by default.
## [1] "female" "male"
Why does this matter? Statistically, the coefficients are most stable when there are more observations.
## female male
## 662 676
There is already a function to do this in the tidyverse
called fct_infreq
. Let’s quickly fix the sex
column so that these factor levels are in order of frequency.
Now male
is the base level.
## [1] "male" "female"
9.4 Interactions
An interaction occurs when the effect of a variable on the response is different depending on the level of other variables in the model.
Consider this model:
Let \(x_2\) be an indicator variable, which is 1 for some records and 0 otherwise.
\[\hat{y_i} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + \beta_2 x_2 + \beta_3 x_1 x_2\]
There are now two different linear models dependong on whether x_1
is 0 or 1.
When \(x_1 = 0\),
\[\hat{y_i} = \beta_0 + \beta_2 x_2\]
and when \(x_1 = 1\)
\[\hat{y_i} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 + \beta_2 x_2 + \beta_3 x_2\] By rewriting this we can see that the intercept changes from \(\beta_0\) to \(\beta_0^*\) and the slope changes from \(\beta_1\) to \(\beta_1^*\)
\[ (\beta_0 + \beta_1) + (\beta_2 + \beta_3 ) x_2 \\ = \beta_0^* + \beta_1^* x_2 \]
The SOA’s modules give an example with the using age and gender as below. This is not a very strong interaction, as the slopes are almost identical across gender
.
interactions %>%
ggplot(aes(age, actual, color = gender)) +
geom_line() +
labs(title = "Age vs. Actual by Gender",
subtitle = "Interactions imply different slopes",
caption= "data: interactions")
Here is a clearer example from the auto_claim
data. The lines show the slope of a linear model, assuming that only BLUEBOOK
and CAR_TYPE
were predictors in the model. You can see that the slope for Sedans and Sports Cars is higher than for Vans and Panel Trucks.
auto_claim %>%
ggplot(aes(log(CLM_AMT), log(BLUEBOOK), color = CAR_TYPE)) +
geom_point(alpha = 0.3) +
geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = F) +
labs(title = "Kelly Bluebook Value vs Claim Amount")
Any time that the effect that one variable has on the response is different depending on the value of other variables we say that there is an interaction. We can also use an hypothesis test with a GLM to check this. Simply include an interaction term and see if the coefficient is zero at the desired significance level.
9.4.1 Poisson Regression
When the dependent variable is a count, such as the number of claims per month, Poisson regression is appropriate. This requires that each claim is independent in that one claim will not make another claim more or less likely. This means that the target variable is actually a rate, \(\frac{\text{claims}}{\text{months}}\). More generally, we call the months the exposure.
Let \(m_i\) by the units of exposure and \(y_i\) the target. We use a log-link function to correct for skewness.
\[ log(\frac{\hat{y_i}}{m_i}) = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + ... + \beta_p x_p\]
By using the fact that \(log(\frac{a}{b}) = log(a) - log(b)\) this turns into
\[log(\hat{y_i}) = log(m_i) + \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + ... + \beta_p x_p\]
We call the \(log(m_i)\) the offset
term. Notice that there is no coefficient (beta) on this value, because we already know what the impact will be.
In R, the code for this equation would be
9.4.2 Tweedie regression
While this topic is briefly mentioned on the modules, the only R libraries which support Tweedie Regression (statmod
and tweedie
) are not on the syllabus, and so there is no way that the SOA could ask you to build a tweedie model. This means that you can be safely skip this section.
9.4.3 Stepwise subset selection
In theory, we could test all possible combinations of variables and interaction terms. This includes all \(p\) models with one predictor, all p-choose-2 models with two predictors, all p-choose-3 models with three predictors, and so forth. Then we take whichever model has the best performance as the final model.
This “brute force” approach is statistically ineffective: the more variables which are searched, the higher the chance of finding models that overfit.
A subtler method, known as stepwise selection, reduces the chances of overfitting by only looking at the most promising models.
Forward Stepwise Selection:
- Start with no predictors in the model;
- Evaluate all \(p\) models which use only one predictor and choose the one with the best performance (highest \(R^2\) or lowest \(\text{RSS}\));
- Repeat the process when adding one additional predictor, and continue until there is a model with one predictor, a model with two predictors, a model with three predictors, and so forth until there are \(p\) models;
- Select the single best model which has the best \(\text{AIC}\),\(\text{BIC}\), or adjusted \(R^2\).
Backward Stepwise Selection:
- Start with a model that contains all predictors;
- Create a model which removes all predictors;
- Choose the best model which removes all-but-one predictor;
- Choose the best model which removes all-but-two predictors;
- Continue until there are \(p\) models;
- Select the single best model which has the best \(\text{AIC}\),\(\text{BIC}\), or adjusted \(R^2\).
Both Forward & Backward Selection:
A hybrid approach is to consider use both forward and backward selection. This is done by creating two lists of variables at each step, one from forward and one from backward selection. Then variables from both lists are tested to see if adding or subtracting from the current model would improve the fit or not. ISLR does not mention this directly, however, by default the stepAIC
function uses a default of both
.
Tip: Always load the
MASS
library beforedplyr
ortidyverse
. Otherwise there will be conflicts as there are functions namedselect()
andfilter()
in both. Alternatively, specify the library in the function call withdplyr::select()
.

9.4.4 Advantages and disadvantages
There is usually at least one question on the PA exam which asks you to “list some of the advantages and disadvantages of using this particular model”, and so here is one such list. It is unlikely that the grader will take off points for including too many comments and so a good strategy is to include everything that comes to mind.
GLM Advantages
- Easy to interpret
- Can easily be deployed in spreadsheet format
- Handles skewed data through different response distributions
- Models the average response which leads to stable predictions on new data
- Handles continuous and categorical data
- Works well on small data sets
GLM Disadvantages
- Does not select features (without stepwise selection)
- Strict assumptions around distribution shape, randomness of error terms, and variable correlations
- Unable to detect non-linearity directly (although this can manually be addressed through feature engineering)
- Sensitive to outliers
- Low predictive power

IV. How to Get There
The PWG meeting space is located on the Radisson campus but
not directly inside the hotel. From Rt 119 (Diagonal Hwy / Ken Pratt)
just west of the Radisson, turn North onto Industrial Circle. Continue
North past Kline Drive and turn West into the parking lot. You should
see a small black sign "Radisson Conference Center". In the row of
offices along the West side of Industrial Circle you will see a black
awning. Use that entrance or (better) the doors just to the South.
These doors lead directly into our conference room straight and to the
right.

About every hour on the hour the pool cuts out.
Im going to bed early tonight all. I will see you tomorrow.
I will move to the other pool if the pool stability issue isn't fixed. It's draining making my hashpower less cost effective
Dr Debt08-Oct-18 05:35 AM
Xyz?
kangster08-Oct-18 05:35 AM
how often does difficulty readjust
yes xyz
Dr Debt08-Oct-18 05:36 AM
Yeah it’s fluctuations are cray
I’m going to put my next batch on the other pool
DR3WSKi08-Oct-18 05:46 AM
Any idea y one of my gpus are putting out 270h/s and the rest doing over 700?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴08-Oct-18 05:47 AM
riser?
DR3WSKi08-Oct-18 05:48 AM
It’s on both pool of pirate, but if I point at mining something else all is fine
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴08-Oct-18 05:49 AM
then sounds like sharediff issue
DR3WSKi08-Oct-18 05:50 AM
Something I can do to fix it?
0x0308-Oct-18 06:30 AM
no, something i will have to do to fix(edited)
but it's not costing you any money, just sayin
DR3WSKi08-Oct-18 06:58 AM
Not costing n electric but costing profits lol
0x0308-Oct-18 07:04 AM
feel free to mine on the other pools that have a fee or to set up your own
blackjok3r08-Oct-18 07:10 AM
a solo pool for PIRATE is very very easy.
but with this hash rate, its not really a grreat idea anymore
DR3WSKi08-Oct-18 08:14 AM
my avg stays quite a bit higher on piratepool
Mylo08-Oct-18 08:51 AM
@jspook16 "still a steal", the alliteration would be the use of s's & l's. Depending on your accent, "still" and "steal" could be considered a homophone.(edited)
is not a grammar pirate

the richlist is now composed of mining pool and solo miner balances that havent been shielded yet. it seems we wont be able to get it reduced to much less. as the coin supply goes up, this number should still stay about the same, so we can get to 99.99% shielded

Blacksmith Poitan:
Alas, they can no longer be found in this world.
Perhaps they became extinct or migrated to another part of the world or evolved into other beings...
Truthfully, we don't know. We have only a handful of myths and historians' theories.
Just speculations, mind you, but...
There are rumors that your race might be closely related to the Giants...
I feel like our rulers are hiding something from us, some secret that links the Kamael with...
Well, no matter -- it's all rumor, anyway.
But there was one thing...
What is it?
