Batman Movie Foreshadows Doomsday Cyber Terror The concepts and ideas put forth in the 2012 Batman movie entitled “The Dark Knight Rises” appears to be programming for what will transpire in America near the end of 2012. “The Dark Knight Rises” has implications that America will literally go dark, most likely from a cyber-attack or EMP, and it is filled with numerous acts of terror which ultimately programs viewers for what is planned to later transpire in reality. “The Dark Knight Rises” depicts a bloody attack on the New York Stock Exchange, a cyber-terror attack and heist where criminals make off

belong to a provincial governor, an Afghan legislator, several academics and activists. These incidents, which appear completely contrived, have set the stage for the return of Islamic terror to the United States. 1. POTENTIAL TERROR SCENARIOS 1.1: Active Shooter? In 2012 alone, there have been over 30 highly publicized shooting and massacres in America, the most deadly being the “Batman Massacre” which occurred on July 20, 2012, in a theater in Aurora, Colorado. In the weeks following the Batman Massacre, there was a rash 9 shooting in August of 2012 including the Sikh Temple Massacre, something unprecedented in American history. Although a majority of the 2012 shootings occurred in public locations fully equipped with working CCTV security cameras, the video footage of almost all the shootings has never been released toof airport terror drills which have been preparing local, state and federal officials for impending airport terror. 1.4: Bio-Terror Attack? Based on the cumulative data of bio-terror research, a made-for-TV bio-terror “event” will likely occur in America involving the use of agents known as Anthrax and Smallpox. This future event is most likely being masterminded by the Center for Biosecurity (UPMC), who is responsible for numerous bio-terror related war games. Despite the television theatrics, the true source of the pandemic which is planned for 2012 will be poisonous vaccines issued to the public by the government and medical establishment in the immediate aftermath of a major bio-terror attack. Aside from having the means, the motive and the opportunity to conduct a major bio-terror attack, the government is the only entity

hydrogen leak on October 23, 2012, and a 700,000-pound steam generator which was allegedly removed on November 5, 2012. On September 9, 2011, there was a massive power outage in San Diego whereby 1.4 million people lost electricity, exactly the same amount of people which lost electricity on February 1, 2012, when the San Onofre plant was shut down. Whether or not the blackout was a beta-test of the eventual San Onofre nuclear meltdown is unknown, but San Onofre appears fully prepared to go offline. 5. NFL TERROR 5.1: NFL Terror Drills (2001-Present) The NFL has allowed the U.S. government to conduct numerous terror related drills in their football stadiums throughout America. These terror drills have trained local, state and federal officials for almost every conceivable act of NFL terror includingwho wounded seven people, mostly teenagers, after opening fire amid the rides at a crowded fair in Georgia. Coincidentally, Atlanta is home to CDC, a city has been conveniently set-up for bio-terror. 6.2: Chicago, Illinois (O’Hare International Airport?) Obama’s hometown Chicago has a rich history of bio-terror and its Mayor Rahm Emanuel, is the son of a Zionist terrorist. Chicago was also recently depicted in the bio-terror propaganda film entitled Contagion as the first American city hit with a bio-terror outbreak in a fictitious global pandemic that kills millions. Chicago is also one of 21 cities NOT at risk for elimination from the Cities Readiness Initiative, meaning that Chicago is “ready” for bio-terrorism. 6.3: LA Terror Threat (LAX?)

Significant activity has also been seen around al-Mokha and the Bab-al Mandab Strait, where Houthi forces have repeatedly fired antiship cruise missiles and artillery rockets at nearby military and commercial vessels. As of September 16, 2020, there have been 177 publicly reported intercepts of missiles fired from Yemen. Interactive Timeline This timeline illustrates Arab coalition intercepts of ballistic missiles launched from within Yemen since the operation began. The Saudi-led coalition is employing PATRIOT ballistic missile defense units to defend against these strikes. Its first reported intercept of a ballistic missile fired by Houthi forces occurred in June 2015. Due to the limited reliability of information concerning the ongoing conflict, there may have been other intercepts or ballistic missile strikes not reflected here. The information on this timeline was obtained from theand enhancer sites, revealing the latter in particular to have DNA methylation variability associated with the lowest levels of gene expression. The genes at which this enhancer-associated variability is enriched are those encoding proteins with properties associated with leukocyte function. Because of the necessity for intermediate DNA methylation values to require allelic subpopulations with distinct methylation states, we interpret the epigenomic variability to be due to DNA methylation-sensitive enhancers changing their epigenetic states as nearby genes switch their transcription on or off in different CD34+ HSPC cell subtypes. The presence of differing proportions of these cell subtypes in the different individuals studied, and the consequent differences in allelic proportions of methylated DNA at these *cis*-regulatory sites, together drive the variability observed. In keeping with this model of allelic and

the UCSC Genome Browser *bigWigAverageOverBed* (<http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/downloads.html>) was used to calculate the sum of the ChIP-seq signals over 100 bp genomic intervals spanning the 22 autosomal and 2 sex chromosomes, a resolution which we believe is sufficient to characterize chromatin states, being smaller than an individual nucleosome while usually including no more than 0--1 HpaII sites per window. ChIP-seq signals summed over 30,956,785 intervals were generated and formatted in bedGraph format. The Roadmap in Epigenomics data are provided as raw signals and not as defined peaks. To avoid imposing excessive processing on these data, we used as simple and intuitive an approach as possible.

gradients in the speaker chamber. These distortions can be heard as static and/or unnatural discontinuities in the sound. The ratio of the speaker basket back opening “B” (which supports the spider) to the speaker basket front opening “A” (which supports the surround) is approximately 0.5 (or 50%). In the instance when a passive radiator constructed solely of a speaker cone is connected only as its peripheral rim to an annular support surface in the wall of a speaker, for example, as shown in the Klasco, U.S. Pat. No. 4,207,963, a larger range of travel is available to accommodate large movable element displacements experienced at high volume and low frequencies. However, the use of a surround around the perimeter of the top of the cone and the cone shape producesshortcomings of the prior art passive radiators. The spatial requirement of the prior art passive radiators is also a drawback. The prior art passive radiators are quite large and bulky and extend a large distance into any sealed cavity. This spatial requirement must be taken into account when designing features and companion speakers to fit into the sealed cavity. Recently there has been an increasing demand for loudspeakers for use in a very compact/shallow space. This demand was born by consumer appetite for louder sound grew couple with the desire for less obtrusive speakers. Recently, home audio consumers have begun a major shift from larger, conventional loudspeakers housed in cabinets that stand alone in the room—to smaller piston speakers that mount within the wall of a house.

scalar theories, and in [@Braun:2014vba] for flavor-nonsinglet operators in QCD to two-loop accuracy. As a major step towards the NNLO calculation, in [@Braun:2016qlg] we have calculated the two-loop quantum correction to the generator of special conformal transformations. In this work we use this result to obtain the three-loop (NNLO) evolution equation for flavor-nonsinglet leading twist operators in the light-ray operator representation in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme. The relation to the representation in terms of local operators [@Mueller:1991gd; @Mueller:1993hg; @Mueller:1997ak] is worked out in detail and explicit results are given for the matrix of the anomalous dimensions for the operators with up to seven covariant derivatives. Our results are directly applicable e.g. to the studies of the pion light-cone DA and flavor-nonsinglet GPDs. The presentation is organized as follows.

Surgical management of the problematic hip in adolescent and young adult patients can be challenging. In many of these patients, hip arthrosis and pain occur secondary to hip dysplasia associated with chronic instability, whether the result of prior treatment or chronic unmanaged acetabular dysplasia. Surgical techniques such as the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy are performed to correct acetabular deficiency, restore hip joint stability, and eliminate pain. Patients with previous Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease or slipped capital femoral epiphysis frequently note onset of symptomatic hip arthrosis and pain in adolescence or young adulthood. Pain occurs secondary to pathologic impingement of the deformed proximal femur against the anterolateral acetabulum (ie, femoroacetabular impingement).

Inhibition of 3H-uridine, 3H-phenylalanine and 3H-leucine incorporation into TCA precipitable material was also inhibited by GnRH in the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treated animals. These studies further confirm that GnRH acts directly on ventral prostate and causes inhibitory effects.----Bylsma, shades of last years first round. 0-2, okay drink your water bottle buddy.

(Hodgkin and Huxley, [@B50]) take into account the activity of the ion channels in the cell membrane that lead to changes in the membrane potential, eventually causing the neuron to spike. However, simpler but still biologically realistic models of the single cell are preferable when interested in modeling the dynamics of a larger number of cells. A good candidate is the adaptive exponential integrate and fire (adex) neuron model (Brette and Gerstner, [@B8]), which has been shown to reproduce the intrinsic neuronal properties of a number of cell types, including those with spike frequency adaptation (Destexhe, [@B33]). Interestingly, adex neurons network models with different adaptation levels can reproduce the dynamical properties of distinctive brain states such as wakefulness, sleep, or anesthesia (Zerlaut et al., [@B122]; Nghiem et al.,[@B70]). This property makes adex neuron networks suitable to model the dynamics of the emerging activity in a local network of neurons after injury, given that, after a stroke, the dynamics of the local network switches to a slow oscillatory rhythm which resembles that of sleep or anesthesia (Butz et al., [@B10]). Moreover, alterations in low-frequency cortical activity in the peri-infact cortex after stroke are known to correlate with motor recovery (e.g., Yilmaz et al., [@B121]; Ramanathan et al., [@B87]). ### 1.1.2. Brain Network Modeling Efforts have been made to reconstruct single brain regions with as many details as possible (Markram et al., [@B60]), or to build detailed networks of multi-compartment oscillators (Izhikevich and Edelman, [@B53]).

Ia afferents directly provide excitatory inputs to the α-motoneurons (monosynaptic stretch reflex mechanism), while the II afferents output is mediated by a set of interneurons before reaching the α-motoneurons, creating a disynaptic reflex.

hole in the miniature’s area of contact. I glue the pin into the hole with Super Glue then cut off the extent of the pin, leaving just few mm. I drill another hole in the base, using the miniature to ensure it fits the base. I apply Super Glue to area of contact. I glue the miniature on top of the base. Natural Pin: This is my favorite method. I believe that a natural part of the miniature is better at holding it in place rather than a smooth steel pin. This is what I do: I cut off most of the rail from underneath the miniature, leaving just a a piece or two in place. I then ensure the area of contact on both the miniature and the base is flat and fit one anotherit into the hole, using blades side to push the magnet in until it’s parallel to the bases bottom line. Step three: Sealing Magnets You can skip on this one, but if you want your magnets to hold firm inside the base and for the miniature to come off the case with it’s base attached you might consider this Hack. Simply glue a circle of paper thin plasticard on top of the magnets. This barrier won’t be as thick as to significantly weaken the pull, but will definitely make the transition onto and out off the metal surface smoother. It will also keep the magnets inside the holes – no matter what. Do you find this article helpful? Please consider sharing it and/or dropping me some feedback down below or at

They're bad. They're, like, disaster-level bad. They're bad in a way that feels pointedly contemptuous of Louis Vuitton's customers. It's over 24 hours later, and my mind is still boggled that they even exist at all. It takes quite the effort to take both priceless works of classic art and some of the world's best, most luxurious leather goods and make both look inexpensive, but that's what's going on here.

Indeed, to evaluate the truncation $f_K(x)$ at any $x$ (*target policy*), we only require the *behavior policy* “data” at $x_0$ (i.e., derivatives $f^{(i)}(x_0)$). Our paper proceeds as follows. In Section \[sec:terl\], we start with a general result of applying Taylor expansions to Q-functions. When we apply the same technique to the RL objective, we reuse the general result and derive a higher-order policy optimization objective. This leads to Section \[sec:TayPO\], where we formally present the *Taylor Expansion Policy Optimization* (TayPO) and generalize prior work [@schulman2015trust; @schulman2017proximal] as a first-order special case. In Section \[sec:uni\], we make clear connection between Taylor expansions and $Q(\lambda)$ [@harutyunyan_QLambda_2016], a common return-based off-policy evaluation operator. Finally, in Section \[sec:exp\], we show the performance gains due to the higher-order objectives across

$Q^\pi(x,a) = (1-\gamma)^{-1}\mathbb{E}_{(x',a')\sim d_\gamma^\pi(\cdot,\cdot|x,a,0)}[r(x',a')]$. We focus on the RL objective of optimizing $\max_\pi J(\pi) \triangleq \mathbb{E}_{\pi,x_0}[\sum_{t\geq 0}\gamma^t r_t]$ starting from a fixed initial state $x_0$. We define some useful matrix notation. For ease of analysis, we assume that $\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{A}$ are both finite. Let $R \in \mathbb{R}^{|\mathcal{X}| \times |\mathcal{A}|}$ denote the reward function and $P^\pi\in \mathbb{R}^{|\mathcal{X}||\mathcal{A}| \times |\mathcal{X}||\mathcal{A}|} $ denote the transition matrix such that $P^\pi(x,a,y,b) \triangleq p(y|x,a) \pi(b|y)$. We also define $Q^\pi\in \mathbb{R}^{|\mathcal{X}| \times |\mathcal{A}|}$ as the vector Q-function. This matrix notation facilitates compact derivations, for example, the Bellman equation writes as $Q^\pi = R + \gamma P^\pi Q^\pi$. Taylor Expansion of Q-functions. -------------------------------- In this part, we state the Taylor expansion of Q-functions. Our motivation for the expansion is the following: Assume we aim to estimate $Q^\pi(x,a)$ for< (1-\gamma)/\gamma$, then the limit for $K\rightarrow\infty$ exists and we have $$\begin{aligned} \label{eq:taylorexpansionoriginal} Q^\pi - Q^\mu = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \underbrace{{\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\gamma (I - \gamma P^\mu)^{-1}(P^\pi - P^\mu){\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^k Q^\mu}_{\triangleq U_k}.\end{aligned}$$ The constraint between $\pi$ and $\mu$ is a result of the convergence radius of the Taylor expansion. The derivation follows by recursively applying the following equality: $Q^\pi = Q^\mu + \gamma (I-\gamma P^\mu)^{-1}(P^\pi - P^\mu)Q^\pi.$ Please refer to the Appendix \[appendix:taylorexpansionq\] for a proof. For ease of notation, denote the $k$-th term on the RHS of Eq.\[eq:taylorexpansionoriginal\] as $U_k$. This gives rise to $Q^\pi - Q^\mu = \sum_{k=1}^\infty U_k$. To represent $Q^\pi - Q^\mu$ explicitly with the deviation between $\pi$ and $\mu$, consider a diagonal matrix $D_{\pi/\mu}(x,a,y,b) \triangleq \pi(a|x)/\mu(b|y) \cdot \delta_{x=y,a=b}$ where $x,y \in \mathcal{X}, a,b\in \mathcal{A}$ and where $\delta$ is the Dirac delta function;

recovers the result in prior work for $K=1$ [@schulman2015high]. #### Higher-order objectives and trade-offs. When $K\geq 3$, we can construct objectives with higher-order terms. The motivation is that with high $K$, $\sum_{k=1}^K L_k(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ forms a closer approximation to the objective of interest: $J(\pi) - J(\mu)$. Why not then have $K$ as large as possible? This comes at a trade-off. For example, let us compare $L_1(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ and $L_1(\pi_\theta,\mu) + L_2(\pi_\theta,\mu)$: Though $L_1(\pi_\theta,\mu) + L_2(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ forms a closer approximation to $J(\pi) - J(\mu)$ than $L_1(\pi)$ *in expectation*, it could have higher variance during estimation when e.g., $L_1(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ and $L_2(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ have a non-negative correlation. Indeed, as $K\rightarrow \infty$, $\sum_{k=1}^K L_k(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ approximates the full IS correction, which is known to have high variance [@munos2016safe]. #### How many orders to take in practice? Though the higher-order policyin a diverse set of scenarios. In particular, we test if the second-order correction helps with **(1)** *policy-based* and **(2)** *value-based* algorithms. In large-scale experiments, to take advantage of computational architectures, actors ($\mu$) and learners ($\pi$) are not perfectly synchronized. For case **(1)**, in Section \[onpolicy\], we show that even in cases where they almost synchronize ($\pi \approx \mu$), higher-order corrections are still helpful. Then, in Section \[offpolicy\], we study how the performance of a general distributed policy-based agent (e.g., IMPALA, [@espeholt2018impala]) is influenced by the discrepancy between actors and learners. For case **(2)**, in Section \[value\], we show the benefits of second-order expansions in with a state-of-the-art value-based agent R2D2 [@kapturowski2018recurrent]. #### Evaluation.

Distributed agents generally consist of a central learner and multiple actors [@nair2015massively; @mnih2016asynchronous; @babaeizadeh2016reinforcement; @barth2018distributed; @horgan2018distributed]. We focus on two main setups: **Type I** includes agents such as IMPALA [@espeholt2018impala] (see blue arrows in Figure \[fig:architecture\] in Appendix \[appendix:experiment-architecture\]). See Section \[onpolicy\] and Section \[ss:gendist\]; **Type II** includes agents such as R2D2 ([@kapturowski2018recurrent]; see orange arrows in Figure \[fig:architecture\] in Appendix \[appendix:experiment-architecture\]). See Section \[ss:disvb\]. We provide details on hyper-parameters of experiment setups in respective subsections in Appendix \[appendix:experiment\]. #### Practical considerations. We can extend the TayPO-$2$ objective (Eq.\[eq:TayPO2\]) to $\hat{L}_\theta = \hat{L}_1(\pi_\theta,\mu) + \eta\hat{L}_2(\pi_\theta,\mu)$ with $\eta > 0$. By choosingdo not yet perform as well as radically biased off-policy variants, such as *uncorrected-nstep* [@kapturowski2018recurrent; @rowland2019adaptive]. **(3)** Zero-order performs the worst — though it is able to reach super human performance on most games as other variants but then the performance quickly plateaus. See Appendix \[appendix:experiment-valuelearning\] for more results. \[value\] ![**Value-based learning with distributed architecture (R2D2).** The x-axis is number of frames (millions) and y-axis shows the mean human-normalized scores averaged across 57 Atari levels over the training of 2000M frames. Each curve averages across 2 random seeds. The second-order correction performs marginally better than first-order correction and retrace, and significantly better than zero-order.

be the maximum reward in the entire MDP, $R_{\text{\rm max}} \triangleq \max_{x,a} |r(x,a)|$. Finally, let ${\varepsilon}\triangleq ||\pi - \mu||_1$. Then $$\begin{aligned} ||E_K|| \leq {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\varepsilon}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{K+1}{\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(1-\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\varepsilon}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{-1} \frac{R_\text{\rm max}}{1-\gamma}\cdot\end{aligned}$$ The proof follows by bounding each the magnitude of term $||U_k||$, $$\begin{aligned} ||E_K|| = {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}\| \sum_{k=K+1}^\infty U_k {\aftergroup\egroup\originalright}\| &\leq \sum_{k=K+1}^\infty||U_k|| \nonumber \\ &= \sum_{k=K+1}^\infty \| \gamma^k{\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}((I-\gamma P^\mu)^{-1}(P^\mu - P^\mu){\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{k} \| \cdot ||Q^\mu|| \nonumber \\ &\leq \sum_{k=K+1}^\infty {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{k} {\varepsilon}^k \frac{R_{\text{max}}}{1-\gamma} \nonumber \\ &= {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma} {\varepsilon}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{K+1} {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(1-\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\varepsilon}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{-1} \frac{R_{\text{max}}}{1-\gamma}\cdot \nonumber\end{aligned}$$ The above derivation shows that once we have ${\varepsilon}< \frac{1-\gamma}{\gamma}{\mathbin{\raisebox{0.5ex}{,}}}$ $||E_K|| \rightarrow 0$ as $K \rightarrow \infty$. In the above derivation, we have applied the bound $||U_k|| \leq {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^k {\varepsilon}^k \frac{R_{\text{max}}}{1-\gamma}{\mathbin{\raisebox{0.5ex}{,}}}$ which will also be helpful in lateris well defined and we deduce $$\begin{aligned} Q^\pi &= \sum_{k=0}^\infty {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\gamma (I-\gamma P^\mu)^{-1} (P^\pi - P^\mu){\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^k Q^\mu. \end{aligned}$$ Proof of Theorem \[thm:monotonic\] {#sec:proofmonotonic} ================================== To derive the monotonic improvement theorem for generalized TRPO, it is critical to bound $\sum_{k=K+1}^\infty L_k$. We achieve this by simply bounding each term separately. Recall that from Appendix \[appendix:generalizedtrpo-residuals\] we have $||U_k|| \leq {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^k {\varepsilon}^k R_\text{max}$. Without loss of generality, we first assume $R_\text{max}=1-\gamma$ for ease of derivations. $$\begin{aligned} |L_k| \leq {\varepsilon}||U_{k-1}|| + ||U_k|| \leq {\varepsilon}{\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{k-1} {\varepsilon}^{k-1} + {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{k} {\varepsilon}^{k} = {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{k-1} \frac{1}{1-\gamma} {\varepsilon}^k.\end{aligned}$$ This leads to a bound over the residuals $$\begin{aligned} {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}|\sum_{k=K+1}^\infty L_k{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright}| \leq \sum_{k=K+1}^\infty |L_k| \leq \sum_{k=K+1}^\infty {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{k-1} \frac{1}{1-\gamma} {\varepsilon}^k = \frac{1}{\gamma}{\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(1-\frac{\gamma}{1-\gamma}{\varepsilon}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{-1} {\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft}(\frac{\gamma{\varepsilon}}{1-\gamma}{\aftergroup\egroup\originalright})^{K+1}.\end{aligned}$$ Since we have the equality $J(\pi) = J(\mu) + \sum_{k=1}^\infty L_k$ for

delays between actors and the central learner, we schedule all components of the algorithms on a single host machine. The learner uses a single TPU for fast inference and computation, while the actors use CPUs for fast batched environment rollouts. We apply a small network similar to @mnih2016asynchronous, please see Appendix \[appendix:experiment-offpolicypg\] for detailed descriptions of the architecture. Following the conventional practice of training on Atari games [@mnih2016asynchronous], we clip the reward between $[-1,1]$. The learner applies a discount $\gamma=0.99$ to calculate value function targets. The total loss function is a linear combination of policy loss $L_\text{policy}$, value function loss $L_{\text{value}}$ and entropy regularization $L_{\text{entropy}}$, i.e., $L\triangleq L_\text{policy} + c_v L_\text{value} + c_e L_{\text{entropy}}$ where $c_v\triangleq0.5$ and $c_e\triangleq0.01$. All missing details are the same as the hyper-parameter setup of thethe first-order case and the performance gets marginally worse as discussed in the main text. #### Value-based learning. The effect of $\eta$ on value-based learning is different from the case of policy-based learning. Since the second-order expansion partially corrects for the value function estimates, its effect becomes more subtle for value-based algorithms such as R2D2. See discussions in Appendix \[appendix:secondorderr2d2\]. ![Ablation study on the effect of varying $\eta$. The x-axis shows the training frames (a total of 400M frames) and y-axis shows the mean human-normalized scores averaged across all Atari games. We select $\eta \in \{0.5,1.0,1.5\}$.

When you lift with lower rep sets, it allows for increased motor unit recruitment because you are working the nervous system’s ability to recruit more motor units. When we lift we do not recruit all of our muscle fibers so in essence we could lift a lot more with the same amount of muscle. So by lifting very heavy weights with low reps you will get stronger without gaining size. I will go more into detail in next week’s article though.

taken or dealt damage. Players can now hold Melee for 1 second to respawn or press Melee while standing inside the white station in town to toggle between default/alternative selling method. The match time default HUD element will now only be visible in the last 10 minutes of a match. Players now lose 1 point of Horadric Favor when they respawn after dying. The Mercy AI will now sometimes use her pistol to attack players. Players will now be teleported back to town when they have been idle for 2 minutes (hunting maps only). The default and maximum duration for matches in Loot Quest is now 4 hours and 25 minutes. Bugfixes Fixed a bug with the first boss in the Unstable Core raid sometimes attacking players earlier than intended. Fixed a problem with someof 40-digit save codes that can be entered in another match to load the saved state. 2. Controls When playing on console or with a controller on the PC, make sure a button is bound to Crouch (instead of the default Toggle Crouch) so every button press gets registered for custom Crouch button commands! 2.1 General Commands Action Command Alternative Commands Pick up loot Crouch Use the primary function of a station in town Crouch Use the secondary function of a station Crouch while holding Reload Respawn (when dead) Hold Interact for 1 second Hold Melee for 1 second Go to next item in inventory Melee Equip selected inventory item Communicate: Acknowledge while at full health and out of combat¹ Communicate: Yes while at full health and out of combat¹ Sell selected

accessed by holding Reload while pressing Crouch - allows a player to abandon their current quest. All quest progress is lost and the player does not get their gold back. 3.8 Create Save Code and Autosave 3.8.1 Create Save Code By using the green Create Save Code station, players can obtain a 40-digit save code that represents their current progress. A save code will only appear for 5.5 seconds on the screen of the player who saved, so it is vital that the player takes a screenshot or uses camera to keep an image of their code. Be aware that some spectators may be able to see your code! A save code stores a player’s level progress towards the next level the amount of gold a player owns the number of carried Soul Stones the player’s equipped item The goldvalue of the player’s inventory is included in the code as well, but the actual items in the player’s inventory are not. To save multiple items, a player needs equip and get a different save code for each item. Horadric Favor and the number of Stones of Jordan/Puzzle Rings that have been sold to merchants cannot be saved. Save codes store all values at the state they were in when the code was created. Anything that happens after that is not included in the same code anymore. (You can think of the save codes like of passwords in old video games.) Whenever a player obtains a save code, no other player can create a code for 6 seconds. The player who obtains a code cannot create another code for 40 seconds. 3.8.2

Autosave Using the secondary function of the Create Save Code station by holding Reload while pressing Crouch will activate/deactivate the Autosave feature for the user. Autosave is disabled by default. When a player has activated it, they will automatically obtain a save code once every 30 minutes of playtime. Autosave is the only way a player can obtain a save code outside of town and without manually using the Create Save Code station. 3.9 Load Save State and Load Item 3.9.1 Load Save State At the Load Save State station (represented by a white ring), players can load their progress as it was stored in a save code. In order to do that, they need to enter all 40 digits of a save code correctly (see 2.2 Entering Save Codes on howfrom a save state. 60+ The player can load any item from a save state below level 100 as long as it is not a common item from a save state below level 60.

Hunting and Experience 4.1 Experience and Level Progress Players can earn Experience (EXP) by defeating monsters and by completing quests. The higher the level of an enemy, the more EXP a player can earn from defeating it. The higher a player’s level, the more EXP they will obtain from completing a quest. Once a player’s EXP progress towards the next level reaches 100%, they will gain a level.

Glow effect colors Color Item type Yellow A non renewed Super Novice item that has absorbed the Essence of Evil White A renewed Super Novice item with 3 rank 10 special abilities Orange A legendary item that has the same special ability three times (triple ability specialist bonus) Red A primal item that has absorbed the Essence of Evil to get rank 15 on all special abilities Aqua An heirloom itemBlue A unique item Sky blue A special unique item 6.7 Item Power / Item Gold Value Most equippable items have an item power value that is visible as a number next to the item’s hero icon. Other players can see the item power of a player’s equipped item. The Item power value is an indicator of an item’s overall power and rarity. It also determines the amount of gold a player will receive when selling it. An item’s gold value is equal to its item power divided by 8 (rounded up to an integer). Uniques do not have an item power value. Their name will be displayed in HUD texts instead. The gold value of a unique is 0. Item power calculation Item power = item quality multiplier * (

Trump’s Idea For A Space Force Is Probably Not Going To Happen Sorry, everyone, it looks like Trump’s idea for an independent Space Force is on the chopping block. We know how much you were looking forward to it. Trump’s Space Force dates back to March 2018, when the president said that he wanted to set up a sixth branch of the US military that focused entirely on space. A Space Force, if you will. “I was saying it the other day – because we’re doing a tremendous amount of work in space – I said, maybe we need a new force. We’ll call it the Space Force and I was not really serious,” he said back then. “And then I said, what a great idea. Maybe we’ll have to do(b) is = \[eq:two\] For $\nu=1/3$ we find the saturation (maximum) value ${\frac{1}{2}} {\frac{e^2}{h}}$ that we discussed above. Two Point Contacts ------------------ In case (c) we have a FQH droplet conected by two separate QPC’s to two independent reservoirs at voltages $V_R$ and $V_L$ respectively. there is no equilibration going on in this case. The same line of argument used for case (b) now tells us that $$\begin{aligned} V_+-V_-=&&{\frac{\nu}{g'}}(V_R-V_L)={\frac{2}{1+\nu}} (V_R-V_-) \nonumber\\ V_--V_+=&&{\frac{1}{\nu g'}} (V_L-V_+)={\frac{2}{1+\nu}} (V_L-V_-) \label{eq:deltaV2}\end{aligned}$$ Hence, $$\begin{aligned} V_+=&&{\frac{1+\nu}{2\nu}}V_R+ {\frac{\nu-1}{2\nu}}V_L \nonumber\\ V_-=&&{\frac{1+\nu}{2\nu}}V_L+ {\frac{\nu-1}{2\nu}}V_R \label{eq:deltaV3}\end{aligned}$$ Therefore, V\_+-V\_-= (V\_R-V\_L) \[eq:deltapm\] The tunneling current $I_t$ is found to be I\_t=(V\_+-V\_-) \[eq:tcurrent2\] which implies that the two-terminal conductance is G= instead of the FQH conductance.

Contacts, Equlibration and Chang’s Experiments ------------------------------------------------------- Finally, let us consider case of figure \[fig:tunnel-multi\]. In this case we have many QPC’s. However, we will assume that the QPC’s are sufficiently far apart from each other that the reflected amplitudes equilibrate with the source reservoir (the “battery") and that as a result there is no interference between QPC’s. Notice, however, that the FQH edge always remains coherent. Furthermore we will consider an arary of weak tunnel junctions so that each junction remains in the perturbative regime. =3.0in In this case, which presumably applies to the actual experimental setup of A. Chang and coworkers [@chang], the total differential conductance $G_t$ at temperature $T$ and the total voltage drop $V=V_0-V_R$, is given by [@junction] $$G=\nu\frac{e^2}{h} \left\{ 1-\frac{e^{-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2\pi T}{T_K}\right)^{2(g-1)}}} {\left[\frac{1}{\Gamma^2(g)} \left(1-e^{-(g-1)\left(\frac{2\pi T}{T_K}\right)^{2(g-1)}}\right) \left(\frac{V}{2\pi T}\right)^{2(g-1)}+1 \right]^{\frac{2g-1}{2(g-1)}}}\right\}\ . \label{eq:fullotherg}$$ where $g={\tilde g}^{-1}$. Here we have introduced the effectivescale $T_K^{eff}$ ()\^2= \_[n=1]{}\^N ()\^2 \[eq:Tkeff\] The expression for the differential tunnel conductance of Eq. \[eq:fullotherg\] is used in reference \[ref:junction\] (see figure \[fig:chang\] below) to fit the experimental data of A. Chang and coworkers [@chang]. At large voltages $V \gg T_K^{eff}$, the differential tunnel conductance approaches the bulk FQH conductance, \_[V T\_K\^[rm]{}]{} G\_t= \[eq:equlibration\] which shows that the edge and reservoir are in equlibrium. For $T\ll T \ll T_K$, the differential conductance of Eq. \[eq:fullotherg\] exhibits scaling behavior, $G_t \propto V^\alpha$, with an exponent $\alpha=2g-1$. For $\nu=1/3$, we find $\alpha=3$. =4.0in It is also possible to calculate the asymptotic conductance of a set of $N$ junctions in the strong coupling limit provided they are sufficiently far apart that there is no interference. For a set of $N_L$ and $N_R$ junctions between the FQH fluid and

vanishes exactly at ${\tilde \Gamma}=0$. The same applies to the reflection of a single FQH quasiparticle at the junction. In contrast, as shown in figure \[fig:elementary\], the elementary allowed processes are of two types: (a) $e-e^*$ scattering, that is, the [*scattering*]{} of an electron off a quasiparticle, without a charge exchanged across the junction, and (b) the [*Andreev*]{} process in which there are $k+1$ quasiparticles in the initial state (for $\nu=1/(2k+1)$ and $k$ a positive integer) and the final state has one transmitted electron and $k$ quasiholes. This process is analogous to an Andreev reflection at a normal-superconducting (NS) interface. (In the NS problem, the initial state has one electron and the final state has a Cooper pair plus a reflected hole.) =3.0in The selection rules exactly at ${\tilde \Gamma}=0$, for if not result: _log.error(' Please install using: "sudo apt-get install ' 'apache2 libapache2-mod-php5"') _log.error('') return result def _check_lighttpd_install(self): result = self._check_file_exists( self._path_to_lighttpd(), "LigHTTPd executable") result = self._check_file_exists(self._path_to_lighttpd_php(), "PHP CGI executable") and result

In the "Geographical description of Ayutthaya: Documents from the palace" are eight sacred places mentioned outside the city of Ayutthaya, being the glory of the capital since olden times. [1] One of these eight places was Wat Pho Aranyik, which featured a reclining Buddha of 30 meters long. The location of Wat Pho Aranyik is still unidentified, but one of the possible contenders could be the premises of Wat Phra Non or the "Monastery of the Reclining Buddha". The temple must have been sitting on the Chao Phraya River or one of its main tributaries, as water was the most important means of transport in the Ayutthayan Era. The other reclining Buddhas on the list are all in the vicinity of Ayutthaya, so Wat Pho Aranyik should have beenthese, but it does make it easier. You could just cut them with a knife. After cutting, pull the noodles apart. I have found the noodle cutter at a kitchen store marketed as a herb mincer. I bet the cost of the ingredients for these noodles is less than $1.

Find instructions here. I just finished making my first batch of bone broth today. I may sound simple or even bland but with a good stock this is a very filling, satisfying comfort food. You can’t beat the value!

Pretreatment of the fish with a 5-HT2 antagonist, LY 53,857 maleate, almost completely abolished the stimulatory effect of 5-HT on LHRHa-induced GtH II secretion, whereas a 5-HT1 antagonist, methiothepin mesylate, failed to influence the stimulatory effect of 5-HT on GtH II secretion. In addition, a 5-HT2 agonist, (+/-) DOI hydrochloride, potentiated the effect of 5-HT on basal and LHRHa-induced GtH II secretion, while a 5-HT1 agonist, m-chlorophenylpiperazine dihydrochloride, did not. The results clearly demonstrate time- and season-dependent stimulatory effects of LHRHa and 5-HT on plasma GtH II levels in Atlantic croaker. Moreover, the stimulatory effect of 5-HT appears to be mediated by 5-HT2 receptors in this species.Text Custom Field Type (this is definitely the most complicated options) I'd recommend first option if this only is needed in a few places.

the above we were ready to perform a $\chi^{2}$-fitting between the two libraries of galaxy spectra. Every one of the 33670 observed spectra was compared with the whole sample of the 28885 synthetic spectra. The comparison was made by masking the areas where the strongest emission lines occur (i.e. 3700–3800Å, 4800–5100Å, and 6500–6800Å) and the edges of the spectra. In figure \[f3\] we present the distribution of the reduced $\chi^{2}$ between each SDSS spectrum and its best fitting (smallest $\chi^{2}$) synthetic spectrum, for each type in our library separately. From the distributions of the differences between the two libraries we see that the results are very similar for all the four galaxy types in our library and that in many cases the value of the reduced $\chi^{2}$ is quiteall the synthetic spectra and of the synthetic spectra that produced the minimum values of $\chi^2$ when used to fit the observations. For the analysis that follows we have also used all the ranges of $\chi^2$ values mentioned in the introduction of section 3.2 (i.e. $<$1.002$\chi_{min}^2$, 1.005$\chi_{min}^2$, 1.010$\chi_{min}^2$ and 1.050$\chi_{min}^2$) even though the corresponding plots are not presented here. By comparing the plots in figures \[f8\]–\[f14\] we see that although approximately half of the early type galaxies (49.9%) seem to be the best fit for at least one SDSS galaxy spectrum, when we move to later types this percentage decreases (14.6%, 13.0% and 2.9% for S, Im and QSFG respectively). Especially in the case of the QSF galaxies, the number of galaxies that are a good fit for SDSS

seem to be the case for the irregular and QSF galaxies which seem to be the best fit for SDSS spectra when the values of both $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ are very small. For less strict acceptance criteria in the reduced $\chi^{2}$ value we see that galaxies with larger values in both $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ parameters are accepted but with the $p_{2}$ having greater values only for small values of $p_{1}$. This indicates that galaxies of these types with low SFR are more realistic than the others. We also investigated the changes in the infall timescale and $p_{3}$ parameters for spiral, irregular and QSF galaxies (tables \[t1\] and \[t2\]), with the changes in the $\chi^{2}$ limit. In figure \[f14\] we see that in all cases the distribution of the beststudy the $\chi^2$-fitting results for these two groups. For all the observed galaxies in each of these types we estimated the minimum and mean values of $\chi^{2}$ for each synthetic spectrum in our library. Figures \[f20\] and \[f22\] show the results for the early and late type galaxies in SDSS respectively. When fitting SDSS early type galaxies, we see in figure \[f20\] that $\chi^2$ increases when moving from early to late type synthetic spectra, as we would expect. The same trend though is observed for the case of the late type SDSS galaxies (figure \[f22\]). However, when studying the results for the minimum instead of the mean $\chi^2$ values we see that in general all types of galaxies in our library seem to fit the late type SDSS spectra

of galaxy spectra. Mass to light ratio can again be estimated with the highest precision, while most of the other parameters are estimated with quite large errors. The degradation of the results by the change from the synthetic library to the semi-empirical one implies that our parametrization system is sensitive to changes in the data and that we should be very careful when dealing with the real Gaia observations in the future. However, we should point out that during the fitting of the SDSS spectra we did not take into account the emission lines. This may explain the poor performance of the SVM in the prediction of those parameters which are strongly corelated with emission lines (e.g. SNIa and SNII rates in the galaxy models). Summary and Conclusions ======================= We haveindicating that not many parameters will be estimated with small errors in this way. The poor parametrization performance might also be due to (i) the additional noise included in the SDSS spectra, (ii) the dependence of many of the parameters on the emission lines, which were masked during the fitting and therefore their information were not taken into account for the parameter assignment, (iii) the removal of a wide range of model parameter values which were producing spectra with a poor fit to the observations, which in turn produces a very sparse grid that might have compromised the training of the SVM models. For these reasons, and because in some cases these results differ from those obtained with the purely synthetic library, further investigation of techniques that will

Among other shortcomings of previous double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, none of the previous trials in children with ADHD could demonstrate validity of the treatment design in terms of "learning of neuro-regulation". Acquisition of regulation capability during the treatment sessions is considered an indispensable prerequisite for a positive outcome of training. However, no previous placebo-trial could demonstrate learning. Contrariwise the latest placebo-trial in children with ADHD asserted that participant did not learn to regulate the targeted EEG parameters during treatment sessions (Vollebregt et al., [@B48]).

Regulation indices were calculated as the difference between the EEG-activity during positivity trials vs. negativity trials, reflecting a measure of neuro-regulation capability. Due to the slow development of a SCP, only the last 4 s of the 6-s-feedback-interval of a trial were taken into account (Hinterberger et al., [@B55]). Analysis of regulation capability encompassed regular feedback as well as transfer trials combined. The difference in the activity between positivity trials and negativity trials of one session in terms of a *regulation index* is considered as the regulation capability during a session.

The additional whole brain data of the complementary fMRI CPT measurements may provide additional indications for the interpretation of the EEG results. Even if no significant difference in the GROUP × TIME interaction of the BOLD-activation could be detected between the groups of SCP- and placebo-trained subjects, significant changes in brain activation can be seen in the SCP-group across the time course of the training (within group contrasts) but not in the placebo-group.

Since the posterior parietal cortex is a multisensory motor association area, involved in motor planning (Andersen and Buneo, [@B2]), this change in BOLD-activation could reflect an aspect of the initial acquisition (pre to intermediate) and the following optimization process (intermediate to post) of the more efficient use of the neurophysiological resources. However, this interpretation should be taken with precaution, because these results are not significant in the overall GROUP × TIME interaction. The pre to post measurement increase in ACC BOLD-activation in the SCP-trained group, which is also seen in the overall contrast (main effect TIME), adds another facet, probably being more related to the changes induced by feedback processing during completing a neurofeedback (or placebo-)

This project will develop and evaluate a model for a Collaborative Quality Improvement Program in loosely structured managed care organizations (MCOs). Most quality improvement initiatives for hospitals or MCOs have occurred in tightly managed systems. This model addresses how MCOs can fulfill their responsibility for quality improvement among professionals and organizations with whom they have contractual leverage but not direct control. The model will be tested by application to the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guideline for the care of the healthy term newborn with jaundice. Two large managed care organizations will partner with the core research team, enlisting specific patient care units - organizations and professionals responsible for the continuum of care for a baby during the first month of life - to participate. The MCOsrevealed that (i) the q-region where S(st)(q) becomes dominant is closely related to that for the abnormal butterfly scattering under stretching, and (ii) as the temperature increases toward the temperature for volume phase transition, S(st)(q) of a squared Lorentzian shape increases more drastically than S(th)(q) of a Lorentzian shape. These findings were quantitatively understood in the theoretical framework by Panyukov and Rabin [Macromolecules 29, 7960 (1996)] or by Onuki [J. Phys. II. France 2, 45 (1992)], taking into account stress-fluctuation coupling under coexistence of the inherent structural heterogeneity in the real gel. We further found that the static inhomogeneity showing S(st)(q) seems to relate to the necklacelike microstructure, appearing after a shallow quench into the collapsed phase.

in $\mathcal{G}$ encoded by the transformed filters in practice, as confirmed by [@liao2013learning; @pal2016discriminative]. Though this framework did not make any assumptions on the distribution of the dot-products, it imposed the restricting assumption of group symmetry on the transformations. We now show that invariance can be invoked by avoiding the assumption that the transformations in $\mathcal{G}$ need to form a group. Nonetheless, we assume that the distribution of the dot-product $ \langle x, gw \rangle $ is uniform and thus we have the following result[^2]. \[lem\_invariance\] (Invariance Property) Assume a novel test input $x$ and a filter $ w$ both fixed vectors $ \in \mathbb{R}^d$. Further, let $g$ denote a random variable representing unitary operators with some distribution. Finally, let $\Upsilon(x) = \langle x, gw strong assumptions, Lemma \[lem\_invariance\] shows that such units can be more invariant even when there is no group symmetry within the filters/templates in Fig.\[fig\_1\_a\]. However, pooling across the entire range of all transformations simultaneously results in a trivial feature losing all selectivity (therefore not useful for any downstream task). **Limiting the Range of Pooling through a Random Support.** A solution to trivial feature problem described above, is to limit the *range* or support of pooling as illustrated in Fig.\[fig\_1\_b\]. One simple way of selecting such a support for pooling is at random. This selection would happen only once during initialization of the network (or any other model), and will remain fixed through training and testing. In order to increase the selectivity of such features, multiple such pooling units are needed

resultant tensor is average pooled across channels with a average pool size such that the desired number of outputs is obtained. After the CMP units, the output is finally fed through a two layered network with the same number of channels with $1\times 1$ kernels, which we call a pooling network. This small pooling network helps in selecting non-linear combinations of the invariant nodes generated through the CMP operation, thereby enriching feature combinations downstream. **Invariances in a PRC-NPTN layer.** Recent work introducing NPTNs [@pal2018nptn] had highlighted the Transformation Network (TN) framework in which invariance is generated during the forward pass by pooling over dot-products with transformed filter outputs. A vanilla convolution layer with a single input and output channel (therefore a single convolution filter) followed by a $k\times k$21.47 _{\pm 0.16 } $ **Efficacy in Learning Arbitrary and Unknown Transformations Invariances from Data.** We evaluate on one of the most important tasks of any perception system, *i.e.* being invariant to nuisance transformations *learned* from the data itself. Most other architectures based on vanilla ConvNets learn these invariances through the implicit neural network functional map rather than explicitly through the architecture as PRC-NPTNs. Moreover, most previous approaches needed hand crafted architectures to handle different transformations. We benchmark our networks based on tasks where nuisance transformations such as large amounts of in-plane rotation and translation are steadily increased, with no change in architecture whatsoever. For this purpose, we utilize MNIST where it is straightforward to add such transformations without any artifacts. We benchmark on such a task as

His wife’s family was already living in the Toronto area and since he planned to bring his own parents here as well, the couple looked for a place that would fit all of them. The “forever” house they eventually bought – a 3,500-square-foot newish build with a two-car garage – fits that bill. “No more fighting over the washroom,” Mr. Bhardwaj jokes of their current home, which has four bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom.

granite countertops, and a family, living and dining room, each with hardwood floors. When it came time to buy, there was a slight problem in that the Bhardwajs could not afford their dream home. Because they had borrowed money for a second car and incurred other debts, the bank would only give them a mortgage of $650,000, despite their already having purchased their place for roughly $100,000 more. In order to meet the bank’s requirements, the Bhardwajs borrowed $80,000 from family to pay down debt (which they have since repaid) and added her father – who has a pension – to the house title. If that doesn’t sound stressful enough, they also had yet to sell their starter townhouse. “We were really nervous,” Mr. Bhardwaj said. He mapped out theirexpenses, crunched the numbers and they decided they could afford it, barely. “We knew that with the income we had we would basically just survive.” Despite a mountain of debt, they don’t regret buying their home. “You do think about it – maybe it would have been easier if we had gotten a smaller house,” he said. “But my wife says it was the best decision for us, and I agree.” Mrs. Bhardwaj describes them as “house rich but home poor,” which she says means they have a large lovely home full of shabby old furniture. “We can’t afford to buy any nice new things for in there right now.” Their house sits on an 11,000-square-foot lot and in addition to repaying some debt, the couple had wanted to put in

Appraisal of Cocoa swollen shoot virus (CSSV) Mild Isolates for Cross Protection of Cocoa Against Severe Strains in Ghana. Two mild strains of Cocoa swollen shoot virus (CSSV), N1 and SS365B, were assessed for their capability to mitigate the devastating effects of CSSV in field trials at the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana in comparison with noninoculated cocoa plants. Analysis of growth, mortality, and yield of cocoa trees inoculated with the mild strains over a period of two decades between 1996 and 2014 indicated that the cocoa plants inoculated with mild strains performed significantly (P < 0.05) better in the presence of the severe strains (CSSV 1A) than noninoculated cocoa, albeit degenerated over time.

This is the reason why a way consists to use a basic description of an URL to do that.

Dark Knight, possibly the most popular and acclaimed such film ever made. I'm more of a fan of Following and The Prestige, very different films with very different budgets that both impressed me no end, and Memento, only the second of six features thus far to carry his name, seems to be holding its own. It sprung out of a cross country road trip, of all things, which prompted both a short story by Nolan's younger brother Jonathan and this screen adaptation of it, though the two apparently have a number of strong differences.

For each subsequent step,    (i) if $k=1$, switch light in room to ON, set $k=2$ and move one room anticlockwise,    (ii) if $k=2$ and light is OFF, move one room anticlockwise,    (iii) if $k=2$ and light is ON, switch light OFF, set $k=3$ and move one room clockwise,    (iv) if $k=3$ and light is OFF, move one room clockwise,    (v) if $k=3$ and light is ON, set $k=4$ and move one room clockwise,    (vi) if $k=4$ and light is ON, set $k=1$ and move one room anti-clockwise,    (vii) if $k=4$ and light is OFF, set $k=5$ and move one room anti-clockwise,    (viii) if $k=5$,order in each direction, with the order reversed if the direction changes. Each time you exit a room, face the center of the ring and move to the room either on its immediate left (L) or immediate right (R). Start in any room, switch OFF the light and initialise $k=1$. Then repeat the following procedure based on the value of $k$ until the plan says to stop. Upon entering any room, check the light. If there are two lines for your $k$, pick based on the light check. Switch the light ON or OFF according to the switch to field, set $k$ accordingly, then move into the room in the direction indicated. Your amnesia kicks in, so you repeat the whole process based on the remembered value of $k$. \begin{array}{c|c|c|c|l} k

the proper sequence. I tried it for like a week, and hated it. Besides the fact that it didn’t work, and turned my kids into resentful brats. So how do we set rules without setting rules? I can tell you no child would volunteer to pick up dog poop in the yard on a regular basis just because they want to contribute! Ok, so I did spell out some rules. And have been reminding the kids over and over and over again, asking them do things while explaining why it makes life better (yes, picking up dog poop makes life better), and keeping my fingers crossed that in the absence of a list, with humor and daily reminders, eventually these boys will get it, make a habit out of--- abstract: | The flux of social media and the convenience of mobile connectivity has created a mobile data phenomenon that is expected to overwhelm the mobile cellular networks in the foreseeable future. Despite the advent of 4G/LTE, the growth rate of wireless data has far exceeded the capacity increase of the mobile networks. A fundamentally new design paradigm is required to tackle the ever-growing wireless data challenge. In this article, we investigate the problem of massive content delivery over wireless networks and present a systematic view on content-centric network design and its underlying challenges. Towards this end, we first review some of the recent advancements in Information Centric Networking (ICN) which provides the basis on how media contents can be labeled, distributed,

highly efficient and practical means to simultaneously capture the content and network diversity gains. A number of results have been reported on converged network. The authors in [@adaptiveScheme] proposed and analyzed a hybrid scheduling scheme for mixed multicast and unicast traffics in cellular systems. A collaborative scheme is proposed in [@cost_converged] to optimize the trade-off between the amount of parity data transmitted by the broadcasting station and repair data delivered through cellular channels to users with missing information from broadcasting. For the purpose of reducing the delivery cost, the authors in [@rrm_converged] adopt application layer forward error correction with Raptor coding to repair errors of the initial DVB-H broadcast using HSDPA and MBMS channels. The converged information delivery was considered in 3GPP and 3GPP2 back in 2002, whenboth organizations created items for broadcast/multicast services in GSM/WCDMA and CDMA2000, respectively. Broadcast services delivered in 3G networks is introduced in [@deliverBroadcast3G], in which the authors argue that the hybrid unicast-broadcast delivery is superior not only in terms of the system resource usage but the user experience. Most recently, $AT\&T$ announced its plan to use $700$Mhz channels for LTE Broadcast networks to remove video from its wireless network, clearing those airwaves up for other data. At the algorithmic level, the content diversity gains are achieved by utilizing the computation power (e.g., application layer encoding and decoding) and caching capacities within the wireless networks. The major benefits of content caching in wireless applications include i) minimizing the content downloading time, ii) alleviating the traffic loads on the core networks, and

the scenario in Fig. \[system\_model\] where $L$ content *objects* (e.g., MMT assets) are available for delivery to $K$ users in the wireless system. The set of independent content objects is denoted as $\{x_{l}\}$, each with the size $|x_{l}|$ bits, $l=1,\cdots ,L$. To receive personalized services, each user would request a particular service package at a specific time. We denote such a request from the $k$-th user at time $t_{k}$ as $y_{k}(t_{k})$. Unlike a conventional wireless system which delivers $y_{k}$ in its entirety through unicasting, portions of the content objects will be sent and cached at the user end before the actual request. To understand the above process, let $$y_{k}(t_{k})=\left\{ f_{k}(x_{k_{1}},x_{k_{2}},\cdots ,x_{k_{i}}),t_{k}\right\} ,$$where $(x_{k_{1}},x_{k_{2}},\cdots ,x_{k_{i}})$ are the set of content objects needed for request $y_{k}$, and $f_{k}$ is the contentnetwork, and at the same time, undercutting the traditional business model of the NSPs. The most representative OTT service is the high-quality multimedia distribution, which is and will be the dominant wireless traffics. The accelerating trend is motivating NSPs to seek innovative service models and partnership in responsive to the new economy driven by the OTT innovation. ![Network crowdsourcing for wireless content distribution.[]{data-label="matching"}](matching.eps){width="4in"} We propose a collaborative model between the OTT Content Provider (OCP) and wireless NSPs termed as *Network Crowdsourcing*, which is illustrated in Fig. \[matching\]. The essence of Network Crowdsourcing is to distribute content objects according to OCP’s requirements by soliciting distribution services from a group of NSPs, rather than from a unique NSP as in the traditional way. The NSPs are acting as contractors to undertake the
