For the last couple of weeks I've worked on a new library for Flowee. The library is called 'P2PNet' and has been pushed to the project git yesterday.

The purpose of this library is to provide programmers with a very simple way for their programs to become part of the network of Bitcoin Cash, speaking the peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol. It allows applications to be written in a way that with about 10 lines of code they will be able to discover peers, connect to them and validate, and sync the Blockchain, SPV style. The library should work on all desktop and mobile platforms.

In Flowee we believe that the best way to benefit humanity is to get more people to use Bitcoin Cash. Use it in their normal daily lives. From getting wages in Bitcoin Cash to paying rent, water and groceries with it. All those people and companies need good bitcoin-cash infrastructure. Libraries and services. This is what Flowee is all about. We add more services and libraries on a regular basis.

The ability for an application to access the Bitcoin Cash P2P network is the basis for many useful applications and tools because it is the full nodes who provide the backbone of Bitcoin Cash. One application to benefit from this library that I want to highlight today is a Bitcoin Cash wallet.

Building a wallet can be easy, just trust something like a block-explorer or online API-service and you are halfway there. But this requires trust. It gets harder if you want to avoid trusting any company or random 3rd party. Bitcoin Cash gives us the promise of being our own bank, which is a fancy way of saying that people can set up a wallet which nobody can confiscate, censor or block. You, and you alone, can decide how your money is moved.

To build a wallet that avoids this privacy problem is to create one which will automatically also become immune to confiscation of funds, blocking of participation or censorship of payments. Because there is no 3rd party to block you. No government that can lean on them. You own your own money.

The most popular wallets we have today all have major privacy issues where a very small number of central servers are fully aware of exactly the bitcoin you have in your wallet. This is because those wallets ask what funds are stored on your address. This avoids searching through the Blockchain, and thus is faster, but it does have a huge down-side that the 3rd party now knows all your addresses.

To improve on this, in 2012 the 'bloom filter' infrastructure was designed and support for it is available in most full nodes. This technology allows a fuzzy request where the server thus doesn't actually know exactly which addresses the user owns. While it is a big privacy improvement over the model where all addresses are sent to a central server, research has shown it is not an absolute improvement. This research showed that a full node receiving a bloom filter can do heuristics and after a long time of usage it can make some reasonably good guesses on which addresses belong together to the one wallet, and thus one person.

In P2PNet Flowee builds on top of this and adds the next level privacy feature: complete separation of wallets into Privacy-Segments. A user that uses cash-fusion to anonymize their funds would create a new Privacy-Segment for those funds to completely separate them from her previous wallet.

If we look at the most uses of Bitcoin Cash wallets we observe that they use the worst-case solution when it comes to privacy: a request is sent to a server to find out usages of a certain bitcoin-address. This means that one of a very small number of servers knows exactly which addresses a user has. Bloom is better since there now are 1000 servers available. The chance of them being bugged by evil people is much lower, on top of the already significant privacy advantages of bloom.

The solution that the P2PNet library adds to this is based on distributed nature of the coin. Since we have a lot of servers, we can associate a server with a privacy-segment of our wallet. Flowee connects to a unique set of full-nodes for each privacy-segment. This effectively means that one full node will never get a request for Blockchain-data for more than one privacy-segment. This total separation will have a huge increase of privacy as an effect.

When a user runs an anonymizing feature like 'cash-fusion' we will also switch to a different set of full nodes in order to get information about the new bitcoin-addresses the funds have been transferred to. Ensuring maximum privacy.

This means we provide a scalable way to ensure privacy on a simplified payment validation (SPV) based wallet, now let's build a wallet on top of this.

Generally, there are known advantages for using an offset shift lever assembly arrangement that fastens to a transmission shift stub extending into a vehicle interior compartment. One primary advantage is being able to easily remove the shift lever assembly from the transmission by simply unfastening the shift lever assembly from the transmission shift stub. This and other advantages are described in commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,360,627, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Automotive vehicles of today are being continually refined to improve several areas of performance, such as noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) that would be potentially perceived by a vehicle occupant. These refinements include, among other things, improvements to existing isolation arrangements for a vehicle powertrain, such as improvements to transmission shift lever isolators. Vibrations from powertrain components, such as an engine or a driveline, can be potentially transmitted through a transmission to a shift lever via the transmission shift stub. These transmitted vibrations may result in a visible shaking motion of the transmission shift lever that would be apparent to a vehicle occupant.
Thus, while known transmission shift lever assemblies and known isolator arrangements work for their intended purpose, there is still a need for an improved offset transmission shift lever isolation arrangement capable of further reducing the potential for vibrations to be transmitted from the powertrain to the shift lever.

text: All About Gravity in Mrs. Bird's ClassPublished by lena.bird on Fri, 02/23/2018 - 17:59. Our class has just finished learning all about gravity. We learned about scientists and did some experiments, we did gravity art, we tried to build marshmallow towers that stood up agains gravity and we flew paper airplanes. Everyone had fun! Here is what some of our students had to say:. "I loved the paper airplane experiment. We learned about why gravity does not pull an airplane down." (Cambrie). "My favorite thing was when we did the gravity art page. I learned that not everything always falls straight down." (Ryker). "My favorite part was when the balls fell at the same time." (Nolan). "My favorite experiment was the paper airplanes because I did not think some things could go against gravity." (Diego). My favorite experiment was doing the water color paint because it was fun and cool but it took a lot of patience. I learned that gravity pulls things down." (Reese)

text: We propose to participate as a collaborating clinical unit in a feasibility study and phase III trial of low-fat diet to prevent breast cancer in women at increased risk of that disease. We have assembled a team of investigators with considerable experience in areas relevant to breast cancer and the trial, including community screening for breast cancer, epidemiology, biometry, nutrition counseling and behavior and participation in long-term clinical and public health trials. Depending on protocol design, we propose to randomize 400 subjects recruited from participants in the Iowa Breast Cancer Detection and Demonstration Project and women screened privately for breast cancer using similar techniques in the clinical practice of the principal investigator, a pool that numbers approximately 18,000. After protocol design and finalization, dietitians at the Des Moines Clinical Center would be trained in nutrition counseling, surveillance and adherence by the nutrition scientists at the University of Iowa. Then, those subjects randomized to the intervention group would receive a staged 20%-of-calories-as-fat diet. All subjects would be screened annually for breast cancer by palpation and mammography for at least five years.

Lesson: Introduction to Clinical Trials

**Objective:** To introduce primary through high school students to the concept of clinical trials and their importance in medical research.

**Introduction:** Clinical trials are research studies that involve human volunteers. They are designed to answer specific questions about new tests, treatments, or drugs. These studies are essential for advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care.

**Section 1: What is a clinical trial?**

A clinical trial is a research study that involves human participants. These trials are designed to answer specific questions about new tests, treatments, or drugs. The goal of these studies is to advance medical knowledge and improve patient care.

**Section 2: Why are clinical trials important?**

Clinical trials are important because they help us learn more about diseases and conditions. They also help us understand how well new treatments work and whether they are safe. Without clinical trials, we would not be able to find new and better ways to treat or prevent diseases.

**Section 3: How do clinical trials work?**

Clinical trials are conducted in several phases. In Phase I, researchers test a new drug or treatment on a small group of people to see how it works and how safe it is. In Phase II, the drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and safe. In Phase III, the drug or treatment is tested on an even larger group of people to confirm its effectiveness and monitor side effects. Finally, in Phase IV, the drug or treatment is studied in large groups of people to assess its long-term effects.

**Section 4: Who can participate in clinical trials?**

Anyone can participate in a clinical trial, but there are certain criteria that must be met. For example, you may need to have a specific disease or condition, or you may need to be a certain age. Your doctor will help you determine if you are eligible for a clinical trial.

**Section 5: What are the risks and benefits of participating in a clinical trial?**

Participating in a clinical trial has both risks and benefits. On one hand, you may be helping to advance medical knowledge and improve patient care. On the other hand, there may be risks associated with the new drug or treatment. Your doctor will explain these risks and benefits to you before you decide to participate.

**Section 6: Conclusion**

In conclusion, clinical trials are essential for advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. They help us learn more about diseases and conditions, and they help us understand how well new treatments work and whether they are safe. If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk to your doctor to see if you are eligible.

**Glossary:**

- Clinical trial: A research study that involves human participants.
- Phase I: The first phase of a clinical trial, where a new drug or treatment is tested on a small group of people to see how it works and how safe it is.
- Phase II: The second phase of a clinical trial, where the drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and safe.
- Phase III: The third phase of a clinical trial, where the drug or treatment is tested on an even larger group of people to confirm its effectiveness and monitor side effects.
- Phase IV: The fourth phase of a clinical trial, where the drug or treatment is studied in large groups of people to assess its long-term effects.

**Self-Taught Lesson: How to Clean Windows**

## Introduction

Cleaning windows can be a daunting task, especially if you're not sure where to start. But with the right tools and techniques, anyone can achieve sparkling results. In this lesson, we'll explore the basics of window cleaning and provide some tips and tricks to make the process as easy and effective as possible.

## Section 1: Preparation

Before you start cleaning your windows, there are a few things you'll need to prepare. Here are some essentials:

1. Supplies: You'll need a bucket, soap or detergent, a squeegee, a scrubber, and a microfiber cloth.
2. Safety: Make sure you have a stable ladder or step stool to reach the upper parts of the windows. Also, wear gloves to protect your hands and avoid getting soap or chemicals on your skin.
3. Time: Choose a time when the weather is calm and dry. Avoid cleaning during periods of high winds or rain, as this can make the process more difficult and may damage your windows.

## Section 2: Technique

Now that you're prepared, it's time to get started. Here are the steps to follow when cleaning your windows:

1. Fill your bucket with warm water and add soap or detergent. Swirl it around to mix it in.
2. Dip your scrubber into the soapy water and then scrub it onto the window. Work in circular motions, applying more pressure to remove stubborn spots.
3. Squeegee the excess water off the window, starting at the top and working your way down. Use even, steady strokes to avoid streaks.
4. Repeat the process until all the windows are clean.
5. Finally, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff out any remaining streaks or smudges.

## Section 3: Troubleshooting

Even with the right tools and techniques, there may be some obstacles that arise when cleaning your windows. Here are some common issues and how to address them:

1. Hard Water Stains: If you live in an area with hard water, you may encounter mineral deposits on your windows. To remove these stains, use a mixture of vinegar and water instead of soap.
2. Grease or Grime: For tougher stains, such as grease or grime, try using a commercial window cleaner or a mixture of ammonia and water.
3. Cloudy Windows: If your windows are cloudy or etched, consider using a window polishing kit, which contains specialized compounds to restore clarity.

## Glossary

Lesson: Introduction to Conceptual Photography

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Conceptual photography is a type of artistic photography that uses visual elements and techniques to create an idea, a concept, or a message. It is not about capturing reality as it is, but rather about creating something new, imaginative, and thought-provoking.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
A practical example of conceptual photography can be seen in the work of artist Cindy Sherman. In her series "Untitled Film Stills," she created a series of photographs that look like stills from old movies. However, instead of capturing reality, she used her own body and makeup to create different characters and scenes, making a commentary on gender roles and the representation of women in cinema.

Another example is the work of photographer Gregory Crewdson. He creates elaborate scenes with multiple models and actors, using lighting, props, and sets to create a surreal and dreamlike atmosphere. His photographs often explore themes such as isolation, desire, and the subconscious mind.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussion
What makes conceptual photography different from other types of photography? How does it challenge our perception of reality? What role do visual elements play in creating a concept or a message?

## Glossary
- Conceptual Photography: A type of artistic photography that uses visual elements and techniques to create an idea, a concept, or a message.
- Visual Elements: Elements in a photograph that contribute to its overall meaning or effect, such as color, composition, and lighting.
- Techniques: Methods or processes used to create a photograph, such as manipulation of the image, use of special effects, or multiple exposures.

## Conclusion
Conceptual photography is a fascinating art form that challenges our perception of reality and encourages us to think outside the box. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical examples of this type of photography, we can develop our critical thinking skills and apply them to new problems and scenarios.

Disturbed flow disrupts the blood-brain barrier in a 3D bifurcation model.
The effect of disturbed flow profiles on the endothelium have been studied extensively in systemic vasculature, but less is known about the response of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to these flow regimes. Here we investigate the effect of disturbed flow on the integrity of the BBB using a three-dimensional, perfusable bifurcation model consisting of a co-culture of endothelial cells with mural and glial cells. Experimental flow patterns predicted by computational fluid dynamics mimic in vivo flow regimes, specifically the presence of a recirculation zone immediately downstream of the bifurcation. Dextran permeability assays and immunostaining with markers for tight junctions show that barrier disruption is significantly greater in areas of disturbed flow compared to fully developed regions downstream of the bifurcation. Probing crosstalk between cell types suggests that disturbed flow causes barrier breakdown independent of endothelial-mural and endothelial-glial interaction. Overall, disturbed flow-induced disruption of the blood-brain barrier suggests that flow-mediated mechanisms may contribute to vascular pathologies in the central nervous system.

Lesson Title: Understanding the Blood-Brain Barrier and its Response to Disturbed Flow

Introduction:
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized barrier that separates the circulatory system from the brain and protects the brain from potential harm. It is composed of endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, and microglia. The BBB is crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis, as it regulates the movement of molecules and ions between the blood and the brain. However, when the BBB is disrupted, it can lead to various neurological disorders. In this lesson, we will explore the BBB and its response to disturbed flow.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is understanding the importance of the BBB and its response to disturbed flow. By studying the effects of disturbed flow on the BBB, we can gain insights into how to prevent or treat neurological disorders caused by BBB disruption.

Lesson Outline:
I. Introduction to the Blood-Brain Barrier
- Definition of the BBB
- Composition of the BBB
- Importance of the BBB
- Potential consequences of BBB disruption

II. Effects of Disturbed Flow on the Blood-Brain Barrier
