[ "Collegiate Cyber Threat Competition - Wave III\n\nSDSLabs participated in and won the 3rd Deloitte CCTC\n\nDeloitte has been organizing the Collegiate Cyber Threat Competition every year for the past 3 years. ", "SDSLabs has been fortunate enough to be the winning teamthree years in a row now. ", "Although they change the format of the competition every year and will continue to do so, their main idea is to get students and industry experts together on the same platform, and discuss and tackle challenges in cyber security. ", "Taking part in the competition is in itself an immense learning experience. ", "This post summarizes my experience at this year’s CCTC.", "\n\nRound 0\n\nSince SDSLabs has been participating in the earlier two iterations of CCTC, we were looking forward to Deloitte coming to our campus this year as well. ", "Round 0 was held at several college campuses across India in February, and involved a written quiz in teams of 3. ", "The problems ranged from web application security to networking and were fairly straightforward. ", "3 teams were shortlisted from each campus to proceed to the following rounds. ", "Our team, Legacy, consisted of Abhay Rana, Ravi Kishore and myself.", "\n\nRound 1\n\nRound 1 was an online jeopardy-style CTF. ", "There were multiple categories of problems such as SQL injection, XSS, cryptography, network analysis, etc which had difficulty-based point values. ", "We were to submit a flag obtained by solving the challenge, and the 1st two teams to solve every challenge were given bonus points. ", "Solutions to most of the challenges are given here and we had a lot of fun solving them. ", "We solved all but one challenge and were happy to be on top of the leaderboard before it was frozen, although we were later told that the final leaderboard was much closer than we expected. ", "Top 5 teams from Round 1 were invited for the grand finals held in Hyderabad on May 1-2.", "\n\nRound 2\n\nRound 2 was organized at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre. ", "We landed in Hyderabad on the evening of 1st May, checked in at the Novotel and had some time to freshen up before meeting the Deloitte team for dinner. ", "We were under the impression that the finals would take place the following morning and we would enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. ", "They seemed to have other plans for us though. ", "After dinner, the competition was declared open, and each team was handed 2 identical laptops with 2 VMs each which we were told were known to be compromised. ", "We had all night to analyze the systems, identify the extent of compromise, the malicious files/processes, the changes (filesystem/registry) made by them, the network activity, etc. ", "and were to deliver a presentation on our findings to a panel of security experts from the industry. ", "This was for 400 points. ", "In addition, we also had to submit a STIX document to share the security threat information with our peers (in a real-world scenario), which was for 200 points.", "\n\nBoth the VMs were Windows machines. ", "We weren’t allowed to mess with the host machine, or transfer files from the VMs to the internet or external media. ", "Initially, our attention was divided over both the VMs but we were very early to figure out that one of them was a decoy (thanks to Nemo’s intuition). ", "We used a host of tools such as CurrProcess, Wireshark, RegScanner, ProcessActivityView, SmartSniffer, Malware Bytes, HijackThis, etc. ", "We kept logging our observations and steps on a shared WorkFlowy list.", "\n\nThis round was very exciting, more so because we hadn’t taken part in this kind of a challenge ever before and the whole real-world scenario of working in a Cyber Incident Response Team was very new to us. ", "Although we were far from discovering all the malicious files and processes, we did well enough in our analysis to be declared the winners and were awarded INR 120000.", "\n\nWe thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this version of CCTC. ", "Both round 1 and round 2 had brilliant challenges and we learnt a lot in the process. ", "We are looking forward to next year’s competition and we have been promised that it’ll be bigger and better." ]

[ "William Hendricks\n\nWilliam Hendricks (November 12, 1782 – May 16, 1850) was a Democratic-Republican member of the House of Representatives from 1816 to 1822, the third Governor of Indiana from 1822 to 1825, and an Anti-Jacksonian member of the U.S. Senate from 1825 to 1837. ", "He led much of his family into politics and founded one of the largest political families in Indiana. ", "He was the uncle of Thomas Andrews Hendricks, who was also Governor of Indiana and Vice President of the United States. ", "Hendricks County was named in his honor. ", "His term as governor was spent repairing the state's finances to later enable large scale internal improvements. ", "The establishment of the basic framework of the state's public school system and the transfer of the capital from Corydon to Indianapolis also occurred during his term.", "\n\nEarly life\n\nFamily and background\nHendricks was born in Ligonier Valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania on November 12, 1782, the son of Abraham and Ann Jamison Hendricks. ", "His father was a prominent man in the community and a state legislator. ", "He was the brother of Thomas Hendricks and John Hendricks, the uncle of Vice President Thomas Andrews Hendricks, and the father of William Hendricks Jr.\n\nHe attended a common school in Ligonier Valley where he was a classmate of Jonathan Jennings and William W. Wick, who later became his close political allies. ", "After completion of the lower grades Hendricks attended Jefferson College (now Washington & Jefferson College) until 1810. ", "After completing college he moved west to Ohio where his older brother Obadiah operated a law practice, and briefly lived in his home. ", "He studied law with him a short time and was admitted to the bar. ", "From 1810 to 1812 he made a living as a school teacher while he studied law in Cincinnati and lived in the home of his sister, Ann. ", "He remained there until he was admitted to the bar.", "\n\nMove to Indiana Territory\n\nAfter 1813 he moved to Madison in the Indiana Territory. ", "Madison remained his home for the rest of his life. ", "During his early days in there, he set up a printing press he brought with him from Cincinnati, and became the proprietor of the Western Eagle, the second newspaper to be printed in the territory. ", "His paper and the positions he supported helped him to quickly gain popularity in the local community. ", "The anti-slavery eastern part of the territory was at that time locked in a struggle with the pro-slavery western party for control of the territorial government. ", "The Western Eagle combated the pro-slavery Vincennes Sun, and garnered considerable support from the eastern settlers. ", "He later used his printing press to print the first codification of Indiana state laws during his term as governor.", "\n\nHendricks married Ann Parker Paul of Hardin County, Kentucky. ", "She was the daughter of Colonel John Paul, who was the founder of Madison. ", "The couple had nine children. ", "William Hendricks Jr became a state legislator. ", "Two sons were killed during the American Civil War and two other children died in infancy. ", "Ann outlived her husband by some thirty-seven years, and died at Madison on September 12, 1887.", "\n\nPublic office\n\nTerritorial legislator\nIn February 1813 Hendricks was elected clerk of the territorial legislature in Vincennes. ", " In May the capital was moved to Corydon following the outbreak of the War of 1812 and the reorganization of the territory. ", "The legislature, which was then dominated by the anti-slavery and pro-statehood faction, appointed Hendricks as printer and charged with publishing the assembly's records. ", "The following year he was elected as a representative of Jefferson County, of which Madison was the county seat. ", "In the legislature he fell into party with speaker Dennis Pennington and the anti-slavery faction. ", "In 1814 Hendricks was chosen to succeed Pennington and became speaker of the legislative assembly. ", "The same year he opened his own law practice and stopped printing his newspaper for lack of time for the enterprise. ", "He received several lucrative positions from the territorial government, including being appointed prosecutor of several eastern counties. ", "He was also appointed by President James Madison as U.S. Attorney for the entire territory.", "\n\nIn 1816 he attended the state Constitutional Convention held in Corydon as an unofficial delegate. ", "Although only two years since he entered the territory, he had become so well known and popularized that he served as the convention's secretary. ", "He was again in party with Jonathan Jennings, Dennis Pennington, and others seeking to institute a constitutional ban on slavery. ", "His actions at the convention further strengthened his reputation for business aptitude and political skills.", "\n\nCongressman\nJennings was elected Governor of Indiana in the first election leaving his congressional seat vacant. ", "That same year Hendricks was elected as the only Indiana representative, defeating former territorial governor Thomas Posey. ", "His election occurred shortly before Indiana's statehood had been approved by Congress and there was a brief debate about the legality of seating him when he arrived in Washington D.C., but the situation was resolved in his favor. ", "He served in the 14th Congress, succeeding Jennings. ", "Hendricks was reelected three times, serving from December 11, 1816, until the 17th Congress when he resigned July 25, 1822. ", "In Congress he was a member of the Select Committee on Roads and Canals. ", "He supported legislation to fund the construction of the National Road, which would connect Indiana with the eastern states. ", "He also supported several measures to fund other minor road and canal projects, but was unsuccessful. ", "He was a proponent of rapidly granting statehood to the western states, and delivered several speeches urging the statehood of Illinois and Missouri. ", "In his final reelection bid, he won by a margin of ten to one, and was recognized as one of the most popular political figures in the state.", "\n\nGovernor\n\nIn 1822 Hendricks ran unopposed for the position of Governor of Indiana and succeeded Jonathan Jennings; Jennings in turn succeeded Hendricks in his congressional seat. ", "Hendricks won 100% of the 18,340 votes, the only governor in Indiana history to win by that margin. ", "He assumed the office on December 5, 1822. ", "While governor he occupied the Governor's Headquarters in Corydon, which he purchased from Davis Floyd. ", "He served as governor from 1822 until 1825. ", "He was the last governor to serve while the capital remained in Corydon.", "\n\nWhen he came to office, the state was still in a poor financial condition because the state's bank failures caused by the Panic of 1819 and the ensuing collapse of the modest internal improvement programs. ", "The state's bonds had been depreciated in 1821 and severely hurt the state's credit and ability to borrow funds. ", "The state budget was still in deficit, and the state's sparse population was producing very little revenue. ", "The situation was resolved by selling public land to raise money to pay off a significant portion of the outstanding debt, and government accounts were moved to the Second Bank of the United States since there were no banks operating in Indiana.", "\n\nThe foundation of state's school system—the first state-funded system in the nation—also began to be laid during Hendricks's administration. ", "During his tenure as governor each township was granted land on which a public school could be established. ", "The value of these improvements totaled over $1.25 million, making it the highest dollar item on the budget to that date. ", "Construction of the State Seminary, later to become Indiana University, also began during his term. ", "Hendricks also contributed personally to Hanover College. ", "As the state's finances would not allow the large-scale improvements Hendricks envisioned, he focused efforts on creating critical routes and approved legislation that required state residents to spend allotted amounts of time helping to build the state roads. ", "Existing roads and rivers were improved by clearing obstacles.", "\n\nHendricks codified Indiana's laws for the first time in 1822, creating the Indiana Code. ", "In 1824 a Seneca family was murdered by a group of men near Pendleton, Indiana, and tension between the natives in northern Indiana and the settlements in central Indiana moved quickly toward conflict. ", "Governor Hendricks, hoping to maintain peace and enforce justice for the tribe, ordered the murderers to be captured and tried. ", "While one of the murderers escaped, the others where captured and all were sentenced to death. ", "One of the murderers was a minor and was later pardoned by Governor James B. Ray. ", "Governor Hendricks had denied his appeal for clemency and used the execution to show the natives his goodwill. ", "This was the first time a white man was executed for killing a Native American in the United States.", "\n\nOne of his final acts as governor was to approve a move of the capitol from Corydon to Indianapolis. ", "There had been an intense debate to keep the capitol in the south where almost all of the state's population resided. ", "Indianapolis was north of the nearest settlement and on the edge of the frontier. ", "Despite considerable pressure, Hendricks signed the measure in late 1824.", "\n\nSenator\n\nOn February 14, 1825, Hendricks resigned his position as Governor to become a United States Senator after being elected to that position by the legislature, defeating Chief Justice Isaac Blackford. ", "Lieutenant Governor Ratliff Boon had resigned earlier and the governorship devolved to James B. Ray, the Senate president pro tempore. ", "Back in Congress in 1825, Hendricks was an Anti-Jacksonian, supporting federal funding for western internal improvements. ", "He chaired the committee on roads and canals from 1831 until 1837 and joined fellow Indiana congressman Ratliff Boon in support of federal funding for the Wabash and Erie Canal in the Senate. ", "He failed in his attempt to be reelected to his seat in the Senate in 1836. ", "He served in the Senate from March 4, 1825, to March 3, 1837 after having lost the election in 1836 to Whig Oliver H. Smith. ", "Hendricks also served as a trustee on the Indiana University Board from 1829 to 1840.", "\n\nLater life\n\nHaving served in public office for twenty-nine years continually, Hendricks returned to private life in Madison in 1839.", "\n\nDuring his life he had gathered a large estate which he returned to manage and to also practice law. ", "Being a large landholder in the Madison area, he built many homes and leased them to individuals. ", "In his later years he was criticized for not wanting to sell them, and was accused of behaving in an aristocratic fashion in that regard.", "\n\nOn May 16, 1850, while he was overseeing the construction of his family vault, he suddenly became ill. ", "He died the same day and was buried in the Fairmount Cemetery.", "\n\nIn his obituary the Indiana Gazetteer said: \"Governor Hendricks was for many years by far the most popular man in the State. ", "He had been its sole representative in Congress for six years, elected on each occasion by large majorities, and no member of that body, probably, was more attentive to the interests of the State he represented, or more industrious in arranging all the private or local business entrusted to him. ", "He left no letter unanswered, no public office or document did he fail to visit or examine on request; with personal manners very engaging, he long retained his popularity.\"", "\n\nSee also\n\nList of Governors of Indiana\n\nReferences\nNotes\n\nBibliography\n\nExternal links\nIndiana Historical Bureau: Biography of William Hendricks\nBiographical Directory of the United States Congress: William Hendricks\nWestern Eagle listing in the Library of Congress\nWilliam Hendricks at Findagrave\n\nCategory:Governors of Indiana\nCategory:1782 births\nCategory:1850 deaths\nCategory:Members of the United States House of Representatives from Indiana\nCategory:Washington & Jefferson College alumni\nCategory:United States senators from Indiana\nCategory:People from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania\nCategory:Members of the Indiana Territorial Legislature\nCategory:Indiana Territory officials\nCategory:United States Attorneys for the District of Indiana\nCategory:People from Jefferson County, Indiana\nCategory:Indiana Democratic-Republicans\nCategory:Indiana Whigs\nCategory:Delegates to the 1816 Indiana constitutional convention\nCategory:Indiana National Republicans\nCategory:National Republican Party United States senators\nCategory:Democratic-Republican Party state governors of the United States\nCategory:Democratic-Republican Party members of the United States House of Representatives\nCategory:19th-century American politicians" ]

", "Farrar, Straus and Giroux/Sarah Crichton, 229 pp., ", "$22.", "\n\nBy Janice Harayda\n\nAt the age of 13, Ishmael Beah practiced for combat in his native Sierra Leone by “stabbing the banana trees with bayonets.” ", "He had fled into the bush months earlier, carrying a few cassettes by LL Cool J and other rappers, when rebel forces attacked village and scattered his family.", "\n\nBeah stayed on the run, near starvation, until captured by government soldiers who promised that if he joined the army, he would have food and a chance to avenge the loss of parents. ", "Afraid he would be shot if he refused, he became part of a squad of boys between the ages of 7 and 16 who learned to use AK-47s and other weapons against the rebels who were still terrorizing the countryside. ", "He also became addicted to the marijuana, cocaine mixed with gunpowder, and “white tablets” – presumably amphetamines – that the army gave young conscripts to ease their fears and keep them awake on patrol. ", "For more than two years, he says, killing was “a daily activity” that he describes in chilling detail in A Long Way Gone. ", "Then one day United Nations workers showed up – as unexpectedly as rebels had attacked his old village — and demanded that the army release some of boys, including Beah, who made his way to Guinea and from there to New York.", "\n\nThese experiences make for a story that, if gripping, is at times hard to believe, and not just because the killings it describes are so savage. ", "Now 26 years old, Beah could not have taken many notes as a soldier, because their discovery could have led to his death. ", "Instead, he implies, he relied his “photographic memory” in telling his story. ", "But you wonder if that memory might have been impaired by near-starvation or the chronic use of drugs, an issue that A Long Way Gone doesn’t address. ", "And some of the events seem implausible regardless. ", "In one scene Beah tells how he and several friends “lay in the dirt” on a coffee farm near a ruined village and eavesdropped on rebels who played cards and chatted “for hours.” ", "He says he heard one rebel say that his group had just burned three villages:\n\n“Another rebel, the only one dressed in full army gear, agreed with him. ‘", "Yes, three is impressive, in just a few hours in the afternoon.’ ", "He paused, playing with the side of his G3 weapon. ‘", "I especially enjoyed burning this village.

", "Commander will be pleased when he gets here.’ ", "He nodded, looking at the rest of the rebels, who had stopped the game to listen to him. ", "They all agreed with him, nodding their heads. ", "They gave each other high fives and resumed their game.”", "\n\nIf Beah and his friends were close enough to hear that conversation, how did the rebels avoid hearing them “for hours”? ", "If the boys could see a rebel “nod,” and others “nodding” in agreement, how could the rebels not see them? ", "It appears that they could have avoided notice only by hiding behind bushes dense enough that neither group could see, or hear, the other.", "\n\nBeah has described some of his wartime experiences at a United Nations conference and in other settings likely to have included experts who could have challenged aspects of his story that didn’t ring true. ", "Even so, the tragic abuse of child soldiers is so important – and has received so little attention – that you wish he had made an airtight case for believing all that he has to say about it.", "\n\nBest line: Beah writes his first visit to Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone: “I was amazed at how many lights there were without the sound of a generator.”", "\n\nWorst line: The scene at the coffee farm, described above, is one of a number that make you question the accuracy of some of Beah’s recollections.", "\n\nEditor: Sarah Crichton\n\nPublished: February 2007\n\nFurthermore: On Feb. 15, A Long Way Gone replaced Mitch Albom’s For One More Day as the only book sold at Starbucks coffee shops in the United States.", "\n\nReading group guides: The site for Farrar, Straus www.fsgbooks.com has a reading group guide.

", "Background Information\nA combination weighing device that mixes and discharges a plurality of types of articles, e.g., one that conducts xe2x80x9cmixedxe2x80x9d weighing, is typically used on frozen food or snack food production lines. ", "With this type of combination weighing device, a plurality of types of articles are each divided into portions having a predetermined weight or quantity, mixed together, and then discharged therefrom as a combination article.", "\nWith these types of combination weighing devices, quality management must be performed on the articles discharged from these devices because they are mainly used on production lines that handle food. ", "Quality management involves randomly checking the quality, the weight, and other characteristics of each respective article that makes up the combination article. ", "In addition, it is also necessary to keep each respective article that was sampled for a predetermined period of time so that problems with quality can be traced back to their source.", "\nHowever, in order to confirm the quality, weight and other characteristics of each respective article in a mixed article, they must be first sorted by hand, and this process consumes a great deal of time and labor. ", "In addition, because the sorting is conducted by hand, there are times when article sorting will not be carried out properly, and mistakes will occur.", "\nIt is therefore an object of the present invention to make the task of managing the quality of the combination articles easier.", "\nAccording to one aspect of the present invention, a combination weighing device weighs each type of a plurality of types of articles, and then carries out a combination weighing based upon the weights of the plurality of types of articles. ", "The combination weighing device comprises a calculation means, a normal discharge means, a sample selection means, and a sample discharge means. ", "The calculation means conducts a mixed combination weighing of the plurality of types of the plurality of articles weighed according to a predetermined ratio. ", "A normal discharge means discharges the articles selected by the calculation means. ", "A sample selection means selects a specific type of article from amongst the plurality of types of articles selected by the calculation means. ", "A sample discharge means discharges the specific type of article selected by the sample selection means.", "\nIn this combination weighing device, a plurality of types of a plurality of articles are weighed, and then based upon their weights, are combined and then discharged by the normal discharge means. ", "On the other hand, if the quality, weight, or other characteristics of each type of article are to be checked, a specific type of article to be checked is selected by the sample selection means. ", "The specific type of article selected by the sample selection means is discharged as a random inspection sample by the sample discharge means.", "\nHere, when each type of article handled by a combination weighing unit is to be randomly inspected, the specific type of article selected will be discharged. ", "This eliminates the need to manually sort that type of article from the combination article in order to inspect it, and makes the work of quality management easier.", "\nIn addition, when expensive types of articles are used, and samples are discharged in the mixed state, the expensive articles are discharged at the same time.", "\nIf the sample inspection is to occur on a type of article other than the expensive type, the expensive type of article will be wasted and thus cost the manufacturer money.

", "Furthermore, manually sorting them from other types of articles that they are combined with is very difficult. ", "By separately discharging these sticky articles, their inspection becomes even easier.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, the combination weighing device further comprises a switching means. ", "During normal operations, the switching means switches between article discharge by means of the normal discharge means and article discharge by means of the sample discharge means.", "\nIn this combination weighing device, when switching is to occur by means of the switching means during normal operations, normal operations will be suspended, and the sample discharge means will discharge a sample.", "\nHere, a sample can be discharged during normal operations. ", "This allows samples to be obtained at arbitrary times during normal operations. ", "Thus, because it is possible to inspect samples taken during normal operations, inspections that conform to reality are made possible.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, the switching means discharges the articles by means of the normal discharge means after discharging the articles by means of the sample discharge means.", "\nHere, the combination weighing device returns to normal operations after a sample has been discharged. ", "Thus, because articles can be discharged as samples without stopping the operation of the combination weighing device, the samples can be inspected without stopping the production line.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, the combination weighing device further comprises a reservation means that reserves a selection by means of the sample selection means. ", "In addition, the sample selection means makes a selection based upon the reservation in the reservation means.", "\nHere, because sample discharge can be programmed to occur in advance, the samples can be discharged automatically and reliably.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, the reservation means can schedule a selection to be made at a particular time, at fixed time periods, each time a predetermined number of articles have been discharged by the normal discharge means, or as a predetermined percentage of each production run of articles.", "\nHere, samples can be discharged based upon fixed criteria. ", "In addition, it becomes possible to periodically discharge samples according to the criteria stored in the reservation means. ", "In other words, it becomes possible to conduct inspections according to the settings entered in the reservation means, and also allows flexibility in inspections. ", "Thus, this makes it possible to reliably conduct periodic inspections of discharged samples to check the quality thereof. ", "In addition, it also becomes possible to ensure that quality problems with the articles can be traced.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, the combination weighing device further comprises a sample sorting device that sorts the articles that are discharged by the sample discharge means.", "\nThe sample sorting means sorts articles discharged when the sample discharge means is employed to a discharge area that is different from that used during normal operations.", "\nHere, articles discharged during normal operations can be clearly distinguished from samples because the sample sorting means is provided herein. ", "Thus, it becomes unnecessary to distinguish between and sort normally discharged articles and samples.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, a combination weighing and packaging system comprises a combination weighing device and a packaging device. ", "The packaging device packages and discharges articles discharged from the combination weighing unit.", "\nLike the articles discharged during normal operations, this combination weighing and packaging system also packages samples in the packaging device that have been discharged from the combination weighing device.", "\nHere, because the articles discharged from the combination weighing device are packaged, the samples can be both handled and sorted with ease. ", "In particular, even when sorting occurs downstream of the combination weighing device and the packaging device, the sorting is made easier because the samples are packaged. ", "In addition, packaging the samples prevents them from being scattered and spilled around the vicinity of the devices. ", "Moreover, storing the samples is made easier, and tracing quality problems with the articles is made even easier and more reliable.", "\nAccording to another aspect of the present invention, the combination weighing and packaging system further comprises a weight checker that measures the weights of the articles packaged by the packaging device.", "\nIn this system, it can be confirmed whether or not the weights of each packaged article is within a predetermined weight range because the weights of the packaged articles can be confirmed by the weight checker. ", "For example, because the weight of an article that will be used as a sample will be lighter than a combination article discharged during normal operations, it becomes possible to check the weight of each article and sort them according to whether they are normal articles or samples. ", "Note also that because the weight checker is permanently disposed on the production line as a weight inspection device that checks all of the articles, a new device that distinguishes between sample articles and articles discharged during normal operations is not required.", "\nThese and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses a preferred embodiment of the present invention." ]

", "We can observe how the accuracy drops significantly after roughly 1,500 predictions and reaches a value of less than 40%, almost as low as random-guessing (25%), in the end.", "\n\nWhen we use stable walkthrough to train our model, we will retrain at regular time periods. ", "Our tests are based on trading period or a financial trading cycle of five days. ", "On our data, this leads to four retrains (identified by rectangular points on the accuracy line). ", "The first retrain point has obvious effects in improving accuracy and it starts to go up slightly before retraining. ", "After four instances of retrain, the accuracy stabilizes around 80%.", "\n\nWhen we use MDD-Dynamic Walkthrough method, we retrain the original model when the accuracy drops by more than 15%.

", "The experiments use an extensive data selection, including bull-market condition, bear-market condition, high-transaction-volume condition, low-transaction-volume condition etc. ", "Quality of data is another important factor to discuss. ", "As the data is collected live from Coinbase Pro, poor connection might affect the data (e.g., missing values). ", "To mitigate this risk, we have compared the data collected from Coinbase Pro with other third party service providers to make sure the experiment have not been affected by inappropriate financial data.", "\n\nConclusions {#sec:con}\n===========\n\nThis paper analyzes a data-driven approach to predict mid-price movements in cryptocurrency markets, and covered a number of research questions en route regarding parameter settings, design of neural networks and universality of the model. ", "The main finding of our work is the successful combination of an autoencoder and a walkthrough retraining method to overcome the decay in predictive power on live data due to non-stationary features on the order book. ", "Prediction in high-frequency cryptocurrency markets is a challenging task because the environment contains noisy information and is highly unpredictable.

[ "It figures it would be the latest propaganda about baby sleep that would wake me from my blogging slumber. ", "This time it was news reports of a study by Dr. Marsha Weinraub, a psychologist at Temple University. ", "In an article recently published in Developmental Psychology, she reports on data (collected 20 years ago, oddly enough) from a study which tracked patterns of nighttime sleeping and wakening in babies aged 6 to 36 months. ", "Sleep patterns were recorded at four points in time – 6 months, 15 months, 2 years and 3 years. ", "They found that 30% of the babies were sleeping through every night at age 6 months, while another 29% were waking one or two nights a week. ", "The researchers decided for some reason that 30% and 29% add up to 66%, and that this means that that most babies sleep through the night at six months.", "\n\nI don’t agree with the math or the interpretation, but what really got me is the egregiously inaccurate way these findings were spun in the news piece put out by Temple University’s communications department and subsequently parroted in web and news stories around the world. ", "The University news story is framed with the entirely unjustified and arguably dangerous headline “Let crying babies lie: Study supports notion of leaving infants to cry themselves back to sleep.”", "\n\nThe study does nothing of the sort.", "\n\nI have to wonder if that headline made Dr. Weinraub, who is an attachment researcher among other things, cringe. ", "But, upon reading the journal article it’s very clear that she does support the mainstream idea that it’s important for babies to learn how to “self-soothe” and that mothers who attend too often or too quickly somehow interfere with this “ability.”", "\n\nThis is an opinion, not fact. ", "Nothing in her data supports this idea.", "\n\nFurther, Weintraub’s opinion is based one the biggest lies that parents have ever been told: the doctrine of self-soothing.", "\n\nI gotta tell ya. ", "My blood pressure rises every time I hear or see the words self-soothe. ", "Because it’s such a crock. ", "There is no research proof whatsoever that babies who sleep through the night do so because they have learned to “self-soothe.”", "\n\nOh, search the literature and you’ll find all sorts of references to self-soothing, some of which Dr. Weinraub quotes. ", "I know those studies because I read them. ", "I traced my way back through the all the references on self-soothing, trying to locate the study that actually proved that babies soothe themselves back to sleep. ", "I couldn’t find it – just a bunch of people saying (claiming) that babies learn to self-soothe around six months. ", "But actually, all that’s really been proven, as Dr. Weinraub’s data confirms, is that some babies are sleeping through the night by age six months. ", "But whether or not they do this because they’ve learned to self-soothe, is an interpretation, not science-based fact.", "\n\nHow do I know? ", "I e-mailed Dr. Thomas Anders, the guy who invented the term self-soothing way back in the in 1970s. ", "Here’s what he said when I asked him if any studies had documented that infants who go back sleep without crying engage in some sort of soothing behaviour to help themselves get back to sleep.", "\n\n“I know of no studies that address either of your questions. ", "Self soothing is a label we coined to contrast it with signaling (crying) upon awakening. ", "I would bet that most non-signaling awakenings occur without active self soothing.”", "\n\nThat’s a direct quote. ", "I still have the e-mail.", "\n\nSo this self-soothing that experts talk about is nothing more than a made-up research term. ", "But here’s what sometimes happens to research terms. ", "Somebody coins a research term in a study and then all the researchers doing similar research start to adopt it because it’s “in the literature.” ", "But after awhile people start to forget that it’s just a research term. ", "And since self-soothing appears to mean a certain thing – a baby actively soothing herself back to sleep – people started believing that it meant much more than it was ever intended to mean. ", "This is the same sort of thing that happens in propaganda and advertising. ", "Repeat something over and over and people start to assume it’s true.", "\n\nBut, no Virginia, there is no such thing as self-soothing, at least not the self-soothing that conventional sleep pundits talk about.", "\n\nI’m not saying that babies don’t wake up and go back to sleep on their own without crying. ", "Some do. ", "And I’m not saying babies never do things that could be thought of as self-soothing. ", "Obviously some suck their fingers and thumbs and seem to be calmed by that. ", "I’ve seen it happen. ", "But what isn’t proven – even though lots and lots of experts will tell you it has – is that babies learn the “skill” of self-soothing and that this “skill” is a developmentally normal and appropriate milestone for all six-month old babies.", "\n\nSo, anybody who says things like, “Learning how to self-soothe is a vital skill in learning how to develop good sleeping patterns during infancy,” (as one news story posited) is either a liar or very careless with facts.", "\n\nAnd anyone who claims that it’s normal for all babies to sleep through the night at six months is ignoring mountains of research evidence. ", "In fact, the pro-sleep training pundits’ own studies all show that night-waking is so common that it can only be thought of as one kind of normal. ", "To be fair, Weinraub doesn’t exactly state that anything is wrong with babies who wake at night beyond six months. ", "Mind you she does suggest that some babies may have had their “self-soothing” skills interfered with by parents who are too quick to comfort them. ", "Imagine! ", "Parents wanting to calm an upset baby. ", "Shocking!", "\n\nGrrrr.", "\n\nNight waking is a tough issue for a lot of families. ", "I know I’ve been there. (", "None of our three boys slept through the night until they were three – consistent, by the way, with one of the patterns noted in the Weinraub paper). ", "Tons of professionals, of varying opinions and philosophies, possibly including Marsha Weinraub, are sincere in their intent to help parents.", "\n\nI don’t believe there is any one solution that will work for all families.", "\n\nBut a couple of things are certain. ", "It doesn’t help to keep repeating something (the doctrine of self-soothing) that isn’t true. ", "Nor do I think it helps to tell parents that something that is within the range of normal is a disorder, or a sign of weak parental limit-setting, a sign of a disordered baby, or that night waking in baby and toddlerhood causes sleep and behaviour problems (I defy anyone to show me a single study that proves this).", "\n\nSome other time I’ll get into the elephant in the room which is the colossal disconnect between mainstream infant sleep ideology and the social and biological realities of breastfeeding (something that all mothers are encouraged – pressured, some say – to do these days). ", "The biggest single predictor of night waking in this study was breastfeeding at six months, something health authorities want all mothers to be doing.", "\n\nThere’s actually a lot of pretty interesting data in this study that was not reported in media stories. ", "In fact, I think the study could have been spun in a totally different way. ", "I’ll tell you about that in my next blog – very soon, I promise.", "\n\n(This post has generated an amount of interest that really surprised me.

", "Now each pixel will never end up inbetween other pixels and therefore no blurring occurs.", "\n\nTo start, let’s create a parameter to hold the capture’s location. ", "The ground material will need this for the projection math. ", "Open MPC_Capture and add a Vector Parameter named CaptureLocation.", "\n\nNext, you need to update the ground material to use the new parameter. ", "Close MPC_Capture and then open M_Landscape.

", "To save time, I have created a SnapToPixelWorldSize macro for the second equation. ", "Open BP_Capture and then open the MoveCapture function. ", "Afterwards, create the following setup:\n\nThis will calculate the new location and then store the difference between the new and current locations into MoveOffset. ", "If you are using a resolution other than 256×256, make sure you change the highlighted value.", "\n\nNext, add the highlighted nodes:\n\nThis will move the capture using the calculated offset. ", "Then it will store the capture’s new location into MPC_Capture so the ground material can use it.", "\n\nFinally, you need to perform the position update every frame. ", "Close the function and then add MoveCapture before DrawToPersistent in Event Tick.", "\n\nMoving the capture is only half of the solution. ", "You also need to shift the persistent buffer as the capture moves as well. ", "Otherwise, the capture and persistent buffer will desync and produce strange results.", "\n\nMoving the Persistent Buffer\n\nTo shift the persistent buffer, you will need to pass in the move offset you calculated. ", "Open M_DrawToPersistent and add the highlighted nodes:\n\nThis will shift the persistent buffer using the provided offset. ", "And just like in the ground material, you also need to flip the X coordinate and perform masking. ", "Click Apply and then close the material.", "\n\nNext, you need to pass in the move offset. ", "Open BP_Capture and then open the DrawToPersistent function. ", "Afterwards, add the highlighted nodes:\n\nThis will convert MoveOffset into UV space and then pass it to the draw material.", "\n\nClick Compile and then close the Blueprint.

", "No matter how far you run, there will always be snow trails around you.", "\n\nWhere to Go From Here?", "\n\nYou can download the completed project using the link at the top or bottom of this tutorial.", "\n\nYou don’t have to use the trails in this tutorial just for snow. ", "You can even use it for things like trampled grass (I’ll show you how to do an advanced version in the next tutorial).", "\n\nIf you’d like to do more with landscapes and render targets, I’d recommend checking out Building High-End Gameplay Effects with Blueprint by Chris Murphy.
