A row over an extension to the Panama Canal has escalated after a Spanish-led consortium threatened to down tools in three weeks unless cost overruns were paid – a claim totalling over a billion euros.
But the Panamanian president has refused to back down and says the leaders of Spain and Italy have a moral duty to help resolve the conflict, based on promises they made to him as he took office in 2009.
Ricardo Martinelli told reporters: "I am going to go to Spain and Italy to demand that each government (intervenes), because a company cannot come up with a huge amount of money for overrun costs in an extension project. It's work for humankind which they gave a cost for and now they can't come with the story that they're raising the cost."
The aim is to widen and deepen existing channels so bigger vessels can sail through, increasing revenues for the Central American nation.
A spokesman for Spanish firm Sacyr said part of the cost overrun was due to some building materials not being of sufficient quality and that the Panama Canal Authority provided "inexact" information for the project.

Sprint car veteran David Steele has died during a race in Florida. Desoto Speedway officials said in a Facebook post on Saturday night that track owners and staff were saddened by the crash. The statement says Steele was trying to win his 100th race in Florida.
Arrogate showed his class again as he came from dead last out of the stalls to win the Dubai World Cup by an impressive 2 1/4 lengths on Saturday. With the win, four-year-old Arrogate became the highest-earning racehorse ever, surpassing California Chrome, winner of the same race last year. In the second richest horse race in the world at $10 million, run over dirt and 2,000 meters at Meydan Racecourse, Arrogate produced a powerful finish under jockey Mike Smith to beat Gun Runner and Neolithic in a 1-2-3 for the U.S.
Arrogate, ridden by Mike Smith, came back from a shaky start to sprint to victory in the $10-million Dubai World Cup on Saturday, beating Gun Runner in the world's second-richest horse race. Trained by Bob Baffert, the odds-on favorite, made a dramatic comeback in the 2,000-metre contest after breaking from the stalls at the back of the pack. "It was like watching Seabiscuit or something.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Arrogate has been winning one big race after another. The 4-year-old now goes after a big pile of money in the desert.

Deepak Chopra has touched millions of readers by demystifying our deepest spiritual concerns while retaining their poetry and wonder. Now he turns to the most profound mystery: What happens after we die? Is this one question we were not meant to answer, a riddle whose solution the universe keeps to itself? Chopra tells us there is abundant evidence that the world beyond is not separated from this world by an impassable wall; in fact, a single reality embraces all worlds, all times and places. At the end of our lives we cross over into a new phase of the same soul journey we are on right this minute.

Killing the Need for Passwords With Biometrics [Bloomberg]
Biometric technology uses our unique body traits to establish identity, replacing passwords as the log in criteria for our devices. Learn more about this rapidly growing technology.
Do Now
Should we continue to develop more advanced biometric technologies, or should we stop and simply use older methods of security, such as passwords? #DoNowBiometrics

In recent years, the development of biometric technology in our everyday lives has grown tremendously. Biometric verification analyzes physical characteristics that are unique to each individual as a means of authentication. A popular example of biometric technology is Touch ID found on Apple iPhones and iPads. Touch ID has the ability to unlock a user's phone with just a scan of their fingerprints. Additionally, Touch ID is an integral part of Apple Pay, which allows users to pay with their phones instead of carrying around payment cards. To purchase an item, users simply hold their device up to a wireless payment terminal while holding their finger on TouchID. Using their fingerprint to verify the use of the payment card, transactions are completed in an instant without ever pulling out their wallets. As society becomes more reliant on biometrics as a means of authentication, the demand for protection against theft has been subject to debate.
What Are Biometrics?
With technology progressing at an exponential rate, biometric technology has become more prevalent in our lives. Biometrics utilizes body parts that show minimal change over time; common biometric identifiers include fingerprint scans, retinal scans, and voice recognition. For example, a fingerprint scanner takes a multitude of images of a fingerprint, mapping out ridges and curves. The map is then converted into code that is stored on the device or cloud database for future verification. Biometric information is stored as data, similarly to passwords, but instead of letters and numbers, patterns and characteristics are saved as a series of numbers. Essentially, an encrypted image or sound acts as a password. Biometrics has become very popular because of how easy and secure it makes accessing high security items, such as bank accounts. With advances in biometric security features, we may soon be paying for our groceries using our earlobes.
The Debate
Biometric security has been regarded as the most secure identification measure due to its life-long sustainability and uniqueness to a person. In other words, biometric identifiers are nearly impossible to fraud, and are therefore more secure compared to the traditional password method that is designed using attackable software. In a New York Times article titled "From Man to Machine", it is calculated that the chances of two people having identical irises is about 1 in 10^78, which drastically reduces the probability of yielding false identification. In addition to accountability, biometric security is often favored because of its convenience and efficiency. Imagine you're standing in line for Christmas shopping, wouldn't it be much faster if everyone can make transactions only by pressing their thumbs on a small device?
While the use of biometric authentication would revolutionize everyday life with added efficiency and convenience, it would be accompanied by an increased privacy risk. According to a recent article in Wired, while passwords and traditional security measures are private by nature, "biometrics… are inherently public." Our bodies are on display all the time; body parts used for biometric identification, such as fingers and eyes, can be accessed easily in comparison to protected passwords and security badges. The Biometric News Portal also points out that once "a set of biometric data be compromised, it is compromised forever." The possibility of government misuse of this technology is another downside to the widespread use of biometric security. The FBI's biometric database, which includes criminal and noncriminal photos and fingerprints, has been criticized for its infringement of privacy according to a 2014 article from Fast Company. Overall, the threat biometrics poses to personal privacy may outweigh the convenience it brings.
What do you think should be done with biometric technology? Should we continue to expand on it, or should we stop and simply use older methods of security, such as passwords?

It does make sense that your nose would need time to heal, but it stinks that the doctor doesn't want you to use CPAP FOR 11 days.
The only thing you can do is try to sleep as elevated as you can, and don't sleep on your back. Run a humidifier in your room so you don't dry out.
Hope for a speedy healing!

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Clean rooms, updated décor, complimentary wireless and breakfast, pool The hot tub wasn't working.
The staff was very friendly & helpful and the room was clean. Traveling with young children, I appreciated the microwave & fridge in the room as well.
Breakfast was great. Room was tidy. Extra Pillows in room. TV was good. Enjoyable stay overall. Bed was a little harder than I am used to, but extra pillows made up for it.
Cleanliness, simple Breakfast
Front desk staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean and comfortable, better than I expected for the price. Requested one extra towel from housekeeping in the morning and was guests "were not allowed" to have extra towels. Asked about this at front desk upon checking out and was informed that is not the case. It was the only dissapointing thing about our stay though.
Good Price Location with loud road noice
The room was comfortable and affordable. It took nearly three hours, 3-4 stops, and 5-6 phone calls to find the location. It was extremely frustrating. The desk tried to be helpful but seemed to be limited, not knowing the correct directions and arrival estimates. With e-mail confirmation a map of where the client will be and a map with directions could have been provided. I came away feeling like I should have not been charged for all the time and grief endured that evening. Sincerely
Good enough except for the bathtub. The bathmat towel was very damp, which kinda freaked me out. Also, some hair in the bathtub drain.
Location & Price Also, they were very helpful in scanning business documents for me and enabling me to move business forward without any delays.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
staff no
The hotel is directly off the interstate. Food places nearby. The young lady at the front desk was pleasant; always had a smile; very helpful. The hotel does have a eatery and bar which we did not use this visit. We have eaten breakfast in the past.
Convenient location nice clean rooms Felt the star levels are miss leading. We looked at alot of 2's and 2 1/2's and felt this hotel could have been rated better. Maybe the system should have criteria behind star rating. For example to get a 3 you need A,B,C etc.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Excellent staff. Personal service.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Very clean, nice beds and bathroom. Easy access to the interstate. Hotel doesn't allow ESPN in the rooms! They rather you go down to the Bar to catch the game. That isn't convenient for business travelers. The wifi was very very slow after 930pm even after it was reset by my Request.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The staff was incredibly friendly and the hotel facilities all felt fresh and new. The beds are very comfortable, and the hotel makes it easy to get in and out of the Richmond area. It would have been nice to have a complimentary breakfast for as much as you pay, but I can deal. My biggest problem was that my room was facing the freeway, which was more noise than I would have liked, but not enough to bother me.
The staff member was friendly. Price was right Beds smelled like urine. Hotel was located near the highway and the train track. Toygh to get any sleep
Location to the friends we were going to see Called a week ahead for 1st floor room because of knee problems, Both days we stayed, our key cards stopped working before we went into our room at night. Over charged my credit card by $2.22 over the price you quoted me on the Kayak website. Said they refunded my card and it's been 2 days and still on refund. Wouldn't say anything about that amount if it weren't for all the issues.
The staff was friendly What I did not like..The heater/AC unit for the room was quite dated. It made a loud noise while on. But, wasn't as disturbing as the train that passed by quite a few times during the night,not too far from the hotel. The extra door lock at the top of the door had been removed. Last thing, I had food that need to be refrigerated but since the fridge didn't look like it had been maintained for at least 3 months, I ended up having to throw my food away.
Room was pretty clean and well-stocked, and the front desk guy was friendly enough. I didn't use the microwave or fridge but they looked fine. The bane of motels was present at this one: A loud heater. The heating/AC unit was many decades old, and didn't have a digital thermostat. The train was audible even from the middle of the building, although fortunately I'm a deep sleeper. Parking was a little tight when I arrived.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location Smelled
The room was clean and well furnished. The wifi was very good. The staff was very nice and enthusiastic. Several of the channels that were supposed to be available on the tv were not.
Room was good enough, we just stayed overnight while traveling. Public spaces were not maintained enough. Small bathroom and on again, off again internet connection.
The lobby and room both appeared to be newly updated. The continental breakfast was nice and the staff was super friendly! Hotel was easy to get to from the interstate. They were doing major renovations & construction but had no please excuse the mess & no one told us or acknowledged it. Breakfast hours were pretty early for a weekend. We were suppose to have suite with l couch but got reg room given to us at check in.
Staff was friendly. The hallways *really* smelled and while the hotel had been updated it was still worn. All the knobs on the hallway ac were torn off and obviously never run. Will never stay here again. The Hampton is the only decent hotel in Richmond.
Price was decent. Other guests were smoking marijuana in their rooms, pool was cold, air conditioning didn't work in the room, breakfast was cold, and biscuits were moldy.
Room was very clean and big I didn't sleep well. A lot of noise and air not cool enough
good breakfast, clean rooms, nice visit everything was fine
One of the desk clerks was very friendly and customer service oriented. The kitchen and microwave were convenient. The room was clean. The air conditioner didn't work, but luckily the windows opened and it was cool outside. The pool was closed due to construction. Actually, much was closed due to construction. We had to pay extra for even reasonably good internet.
The breakfast area was satisfactory. The bathroom had hair in the tub, the pool was ice cold and had icky stuff on the bottom of the pool, although looks were deceiving because it looked clean, a great big spider in the pool area (4 inches across)as well.
Free breakfast, free internet, quiet, safe and close to Hwy.
The location is only a few hundred feet from a McDonalds and a Bob Evans. Parking was great. Room was clean & comfortable, internet fine, staff friendly. Maintenance needs to improve. 'Good enough' isn't. Limited hot water & sink cracked & broken mounting. Location near train tracks is very AM noisy. Morning coffee was weak and warm. A classic 1 or 2 star stopover. Adequate for a few night's stay.
The strawberry waffles and the Staff. It was also close to my daughter's residence. It's condition of up keep and cleanliness. It needs maintenance by a competent maintenance worker with more experience.
The person behind the counter was nice the night we checked in They put us in the better rooms. It was very worn and the tube was stained so bad I didn't take a shower. It looked like there was a bad attempt to do a remodel however it was a poor attempt.

In this codelab you'll learn how to use Agera to eliminate lag and jank from your UIs and think in a reactive and functional way. You will also learn how to use lambda expressions and method references to keep your code compact and clean.
You can clone the GitHub repository from the command line using this command:
$ git clone https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-agera
To run a specific step of the codelab, choose it in the run configurations selector.
Every step of this codelab has a "final" version that runs the solution. Likewise, there is a "final" class with the suggested solution in every step.
Reactive programming is a paradigm related to how changes are propagated in a program. A good example is a spreadsheet: cells contain formulas that depend on other cells' values. When one of these values are changed, there's no need to manually update the resulting values; the changes are propagated for you.
Agera brings a reactive flavor to Android using an observer pattern.
The main class in Agera is the Repository
. To understand it, let's go over the basics first.
The foundation of Agera is a set of very simple interfaces including: Observable
, Updatable
, Supplier
and Receiver
public interface Observable {
void addUpdatable(Updatable updatable);
void removeUpdatable(Updatable updatable);
public interface Updatable {
void update();
public interface Supplier<T> {
T get();
public interface Receiver<T> {
void accept(T value);
As you can see, these four interfaces are very simple. This is what they're responsible for:
Interface | Description |
| Something that can be observed for changes and stores a list of updatable objects. When a change occurs, the updatables are poked. |
| Called when an event has occurred. Its |
| Something that supplies data when the |
| Something that can receive (and normally store) a value send to it via |
Let's create objects implementing these interfaces to get used to the terminology.
In this chapter, we'll create a simple implementation of the observer pattern to become familiar with Agera's interfaces. Skip to the next chapter if you already understand these concepts.
Many times the Observable
is also a Supplier
and a Receiver
, since the thing that is observed is probably the data we're interested in and you need a way to receive it. Create a class that is an Observable
, a Supplier
and a Receiver
Open step1/Step1Activity.java
Create a inner class in the Step1Activity
class that implements these three interfaces:
private static class MyDataSupplier implements Observable, Supplier<String>, Receiver<String> {
It will show an error, so let Android Studio tell us what we need to fill in:
Implement methods, create a list to store the Updatable
s and a way to set the data. It should look something like this:
private static class MyDataSupplier implements Observable, Supplier<String>, Receiver<String> {
List<Updatable> mUpdatables = new ArrayList<>();
private String mValue;
public void addUpdatable(@NonNull Updatable updatable) {
public void removeUpdatable(@NonNull Updatable updatable) {
public String get() {
return mValue;
public void accept(@NonNull String value) {
mValue = value;
// Notify the updatables that we have new data
for(Updatable updatable : mUpdatables) {
Now, in Step1Activity.onCreate()
, create an Updatable
and an instance of our Observable-Supplier class.
// Create a Supplier-Observable-Receiver
MyDataSupplier myDataSupplier = new MyDataSupplier();
// Create an Updatable
Updatable updatable = new Updatable() {
public void update() {
Log.d("AGERA", myDataSupplier.get());
// Connect the dots:
Convert that "new Updatable()
..." to a lambda expression.
updatable = () -> Log.d("AGERA", myDataSupplier.get());
Feel free to run the activity, but you won't see a thing in the logcat. We're missing a line in onCreate()
myDataSupplier.accept("Hello Agera!");
To understand how this works, let's follow the dots:
Seriously? All this effort for a hello world?
This is a naive implementation of the Observer Pattern, but most of this boilerplate is already in Agera. Let's remove some code in the next chapter.
The most important concept in Agera is the Repository. Repositories receive, supply, and store data and emit updates. The interfaces Observable
, Supplier
and Receiver
are combined into two types of repositories:
Interface | Observable | Supplier | Receiver |
| ☑ | ☑ | ☐ |
| ☑ | ☑ | ☑ |
A simple repository can be created using one of the utility methods in the class Repositories
).In our code, you could replace
implements Observable, Supplier<String>, Receiver<String>
implements MutableRepository<String>
but Agera provides a Repository factory, so remove the MyDataSupplier
class altogether and replace
MyDataSupplier myDataSupplier = new MyDataSupplier();
MutableRepository<String> mStringRepo = Repositories.mutableRepository("Initial value");
creates a repository similar to our previous implementation, but that is thread-safe and has a more sophisticated update dispatcher, so let's use that from now on.
Also, remove the updatables (with removeUpdatable()
) when you know you're done with them. In our example this is not needed but it is a good practice: it avoids potential leaks and prevents updating destroyed views. The class is now much shorter:
public class Step1ActivityFinal extends AppCompatActivity {
private MutableRepository<String> mStringRepo;
private Updatable mLoggerUpdatable;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Create a MutableRepository
mStringRepo = Repositories.mutableRepository("Initial value");
// Create an Updatable
mLoggerUpdatable = () -> Log.d("AGERA", mStringRepo.get());
protected void onStart() {
// Change the repository's value
mStringRepo.accept("Hello world.");
protected void onStop() {
However, there's still a lot of boilerplate. The next step will introduce complex repositories, which is where the power of Agera lies.
, Updatable
, Supplier
and Receiver
. These are combined in the Repository
and MutableRepository
and Repositories.repository(T)
for immutable repositories.A complex repository in Agera can react to other repositories (or observables, in general) and produce values by transforming data obtained from other data sources, synchronously or asynchronously. The data supplier by this repository is kept up to date in reaction to the events from the sources it's observing.
The description provides a declaration of:
The declaration is defined compiling a repository. Example:
topAlbumsRepository = repositoryWithInitialValue(emptyList())
.observe(accountManager, // When the account changes...
networkStatus) // or when we get online...
.onUpdatesPer(10000) // but at most every 10 seconds...
.goTo(networkExecutor) // on the network thread...
.getFrom(albumsFetcher) // fetch albums from API...
.unpack(jsonUnpacker) // unpack JSON items...
.map(jsonToAlbum) // for each album...
.filter(fiveStarRating) // filter the best...
.thenLimit(5)) // and give us the first five of those!
.compile(); // Create the repository!
or .onUpdatesPerLoop()
.getFrom(...), .mergeIn(...)
See below (Operators)..compile()
, the previous directive must start with .then
, .thenMerge
, .thenGetFrom...
, .onDeactivation(...)
, .onConcurrentUpdate(...)
, etc.Data transformation is done with operators.
Operator | Description |
| Ignores input and returns a value from a supplier |
| Applies a function to an input and returns the result |
| A function that takes the input from the previous directive and the input from an external supplier to produce a result |
| The input is not modified, but it's sent to an external receiver |
| Similar to |
| Evaluates a condition for "early exit" |
The functional interfaces Supplier
, Function
and Merger
are defined not to throw any exceptions, but realistically, many operations may fail. To help capture the failures, Agera provides a wrapper class Result
, which encapsulates the (either successful or failed) result of a fallible operation, which we call an attempt. The attempt can be implemented as a Supplier
, Function
or Merger
that returns a Result
The data processing flow provides failure-aware directives that allow terminating the flow in case of failure:
.attemptMergeIn(Supplier, Merger).or
The Result wrapper class can also store absent (or present) values.
Enough theory. In the next chapter, you'll see this in action.
In this step, you're going to create a simple UI that uses a complex repository.
It has a TextView
and a Button
. The Button
increments the value shown by the text view.
Open step2/Step2Activity.java
, and in onCreate()
1. Set an OnClickListener
on the button that increments the valueRepository
which is a MutableRepository<Integer>
that will be the source of truth for the value.
mIncrementBt.setOnClickListener(view -> valueRepository.accept(valueRepository.get() + 1));
3. Create our first complex repository. It observes the valueRepository
and transforms its value to a String
textValueRepository = Repositories.repositoryWithInitialValue("N/A")
.thenTransform(input -> String.format("%d", input))
4. Create an Updatable
that will react to a change in the textValueRepository
and set the text view.
mTextValueUpdatable = new Updatable() {
public void update() {
Now, let Android Studio convert that to a lambda expression:
mTextValueUpdatable = () -> mValueTv.setText(textValueRepository.get());
5. Add and remove updatables in onStart
and onStop
protected void onStart() {
6. Optional: Handle rotation changes with onSaveInstanceState
and onRestoreInstanceState
Now the TextView
should be updated on each click. Let's take it up a notch in the next chapter.
By now you should understand the difference between a simple repository and a complex repository and how to wire them to UI elements.
This peculiar calculator uses RadioButton
s to choose an operation and SeekBar
s to set the two operands. This way we can generate multiple operations per second while sliding one or both bars at the same time quickly. (You'll see why in the next chapter.)
Run the Step 3 - Calculator
configuration and play with it.
The valid range for the inputs go from 0 to 100 and there's a division operation, so there's a potential problem in this calculator. We'll show "DIV#0"
when the divisor (second input) is zero.
A very convenient way to handle errors in Agera is to wrap repository values in Result
. Its values belong to an attempt, which is a call that may fail. A Result
will be absent or present, and failed or succeeded.
Open step3/CalculatorActivity.java
Our complex repository will hold a result of a String
Repository<Result<String>> mResultRepository;
Therefore, the Updatable will also get a result of an String
, which is very convenient as we can react to present, failed, or absent values:
mResultUpdatable = () -> mResultRepository
.ifFailedSendTo(t -> Toast.makeText(this, t.getLocalizedMessage(),
.ifFailedSendTo(t -> {
if (t instanceof ArithmeticException) {
} else {
You can add multiple ifFailedSendTo
methods. They give access to the throwable that caused the failure, so we can react to different exceptions.
There are many ways to compile the complex repository. In step3.CalculatorActivity
you'll find (a bad) one:
)mResultRepository = Repositories.repositoryWithInitialValue(Result.<String>absent())
.observe(mValue1Repo, mValue2Repo, mOperationSelector)
.getFrom(() -> "Lambda all the things!")
.thenTransform(input -> {
Result<Integer> operation = mOperationSelector.get();
if (operation.isPresent()) {
Integer result1;
int a = mValue1Repo.get();
int b = mValue2Repo.get();
switch (operation.get()) {
case R.id.radioButtonAdd:
result1 = a + b;
case R.id.radioButtonSub:
result1 = a - b;
case R.id.radioButtonMult:
result1 = a * b;
case R.id.radioButtonDiv:
try {
result1 = (a / b);
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
return Result.failure(e);
return Result.failure(
new RuntimeException("Invalid operation"));
return Result.present(result1.toString());
} else {
return Result.absent();
The problem with this approach is that the last function has too much responsibility and it's hard to maintain, reuse and test.
Let's break it into pieces.
In this chapter, we are going to replace the operator thenTransform()
with a set of directives that:
.Pair<int, int>
of operandsBut first, let's talk about lambdas:
If you use Java 8 and the Jack compiler (or retrolambda), you may use lambdas to keep your code clean of types and annotations.
Agera lets you use concepts from functional programming. If you're not familiar with lambdas, let Android Studio suggest to you what classes to create implementing interfaces and then convert to lambdas automatically. For example:
We know getFrom
takes a Supplier. Create a new Supplier anonymous class:
Android Studio will ask for a type.
Set it to String
, for now...
Android Studio will ask you to implement the get()
Now the IDE will suggest lambdas:
Types? Where we're going we don't need types.
The expression is replaced with a lambda function that takes no arguments and returns a string. The next directive must receive a String
in this case or the compiler will complain.
Once the directives are in place, you can move pieces of logic out of the Activity
1. Replace the last function in the repository with the flow above, after onUpdatesPerLoop
, using getFrom(Supplier)
Pair<int, int>
of operands, using mergeIn(Supplier, Merger).
attemptMergeIn(Supplier, Merger).
.You should end up with something similar to this:
mResultRepository = Repositories.repositoryWithInitialValue(Result.<String>absent())
.observe(mValue1Repo, mValue2Repo, mOperationSelector)
.mergeIn(mValue2Repo, Pair::create)
.attemptMergeIn(mOperationSelector, CalculatorOperations::attemptOperation)
.thenTransform(input -> Result.present(input.toString()))
Note that we moved the performOperation
to a different class, to keep the Activity
You might be wondering why there's a Androidified person moving around the calculator. It's our visual indicator of jankiness. Jankiness is produced when our main thread is so busy that it has to drop frames, producing a bad user experience.
We are going to make our calculation really slow, and we'll use a lot of CPU cycles and allocate unnecessary memory to demonstrate how to keep the UI smooth, no matter how busy our device is.
add these directives to your result repository:
.transform(input -> {
String stringCounter = "0";
for (int i = 0; i < 200_000; i++) {
// Show no love for our CPU and GC.
Integer intCounter = Integer.valueOf(stringCounter);
stringCounter = intCounter.toString();
return input;
This simulates a very slow operation that uses a lot of CPU and memory. It counts from 0 to 200000 using strings and allocating memory for it. Then it returns the unmodified input
Open the activity and play around with it, you'll immediately find jankiness which can be confirmed with the Android Monitor in Android Studio:
The green saw wave in the GPU graph means the device had to drop frames because the UI thread was busy.
We need to move this calculation off the main thread. Before the new transform
directive, add:
is a single thread executor in this case, but you can choose the type and size of the thread pools for intensive and parallel calculations. This directive moves the execution to a different thread from there on. It can be used down the line. For example, you might have a networking thread and a general purpose pool of threads for other operations.
Run the Activity. The CPU usage is still high, but the jankiness is gone and it's not dropping frames any more.
That's it. Moving work to a different thread in Agera is so easy, you should almost always do it. You don't need to create AsyncTasks or worry about callbacks.
Our app is super responsive now but we want it to finish as quickly as possible. The data flow is executed, including the slow function, every time any of the three observables change. What if we change one of the inputs before the previous operation has finished? We want to interrupt this operation to start the new calculation right away, because in this case, we don't care about the previous result.
Add this directive to the repository before .compile()
This will send an interrupt signal to the operation that is taking place when something changes. This is something you have to implement manually.
Normally, you will only implement an interruption mechanism in slow functions so let's modify ours:
.attemptTransform(input -> {
String stringCounter = "0";
for (int i = 0; i < 200000; i++) {
if (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
return Result.failure();
// Show no love for our CPU and GC.
Integer intCounter = Integer.valueOf(stringCounter);
stringCounter = intCounter.toString();
return Result.present(input);
.orEnd(i -> Result.absent())
Now transform
is an attemptTransform
because we want to fail when an interruption is received.
The final repository looks something like:
mResultRepository = Repositories.repositoryWithInitialValue(Result.<String>absent())
.observe(mValue1Repo, mValue2Repo, mOperationSelector)
.mergeIn(mValue2Repo, Pair::create)
.attemptMergeIn(mOperationSelector, CalculatorUtils::performOperation)
.thenTransform(input -> Result.present(input.toString()))
Congratulations! You have a very performant, jank-free activity. Now let's talk about testing with Agera.
This final chapter requires you to be familiar with advanced Espresso topics, like Idling Resources.
Functions, Binders, Receivers, Suppliers, etc. are very simple interfaces and their implementations are easy to unit test. In the CalculatorOperationsTest
class, we added some unit tests using the Result
wrapper to check for errors.
public void attemptOperationDivZero_fails() throws Exception {
Result<Integer> result = CalculatorOperations.attemptOperation(OPERANDS_1_0, OPERATION_DIV);
Animations will sometimes send messages to the main thread's queue, making Espresso wait until the app is idle, indefinitely in this case: we have an animation that needs to be disabled in the Calculator activity.
1. Open Step4CalculatorActivityTest
and finish getActivityIntent
so that it sends a boolean in the Intent
to tell the activity that animations should be disabled.
2. In step4.CalculatorActivity#onCreate()
add something like:
// For testing, the animation can be disabled via an Intent.
if (getIntent().hasExtra(ANIMATIONS_ENABLED_KEY)) {
mAnimationEnabled = getIntent().getBooleanExtra(ANIMATIONS_ENABLED_KEY, true);
3. Intercept the start of the animation:
protected void onResume() {
if (mAnimationEnabled) {
If you run the Step4CalculatorActivityTest
in step4, you'll notice that the animation is no longer moving. However, this is not enough to prepare our app for UI testing.
Agera lets you get off the main thread very easily but the moment you do that, Espresso is unaware of messages that are outside the main thread or the AsyncTasks thread(s).
We use Idling Resources to tell Espresso that our app is busy. There are many ways to implement this. The most common is using a CountingIdlingResource
to count (increment and decrement) the number of "tasks" that are being processed and if there are zero, the app is idle.
But in this codelab, we're going to go deeper. Since we're creating our own Executor, we can query it to check if there are active tasks.
Check out the ThreadPoolIdlingResource
class. You'll find that isIdleNow()
is checking if the queue is empty and if there are any active tasks.
public synchronized boolean isIdleNow() {
if (threadPoolExecutor.getQueue().isEmpty() && threadPoolExecutor.getActiveCount() <= 0) {
if (callback != null) {
return true;
return false;
1. In the class under test, change the Executor in the result repository to use our new CalculatorExecutor.EXECUTOR
2. In the test class, complete registerIdlingResource
so that it creates a new ThreadPoolIdlingResource
and passes our executor to it. Also, register the new idling resource with Espresso.registerIdlingResource()
Run the tests, they should all pass, slowly but surely, since Espresso is letting the repository compute the calculations.
You are ready to explore the more advanced topics in Agera. Network calls, SQLite interaction, RecyclerView
s and lists, BroadcastReceiver
s, etc.

Thank you!

Dawn Chorus
More on Vireyas. This is my oldest one , Dawn Chorus. it has been in a big blue pot since 1988. This photo shows one of it's best flowerings. ( it has only 6 flowers out today ) It is now at the stage where it probably needs an even larger pot, although they do like constricted roots. It broke it's first pot by rolling off this spot and fell only about 4 inches but was so tightly packed it split the pot. I had it in a new pot the same day and it didn't even notice. I have grown many from cuttings of this particular one. ( Very hardy, but also easy) Just popped them in the ground or the edge of the pot and they took. Have managed that with one other variety as well. I'll show you some other ones when they flower.

Lovely apricot coloured flowers - and they go so well with that bright blue pot - guess you'll just have to buy a bigger one in a similar colour

I don't read many war novels, per se, with all of their action and violence and killing, though Andrew Krivak's excellent novel, The Sojourn, is a recent exception to that rule. No, I prefer to know the stories of the people who get left behind, or who are outside the immediate threat of battle. This means largely, but not always, the story of women and war. In the last couple of weeks I have read two novels about women during World War II, and each in its way reminded me of a book from a few years ago, which I loved--The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. If any of you dear readers loved Guernsey like I did, I think you might find something of interest in these other two. If you are not familiar with it, this epistolary novel, set just after World War II in London and the isle of Guernsey, is sweet, charming, and old-fashioned, in all the best senses of the words. Juliet Ashton is a journalist who begins a correspondence with the residents of Guernsey, and through their letters we get a remarkable portrait of a community's strength and perseverance during the Nazi occupation. It is a slender tome, full of both laughter and heartwarming moments, and overflowing with characters you'll wish you could call friends.
Sarah Blake's The Postmistress straddles two worlds: pre-war America and London during the blitz. When Emma's husband, a small town doctor in Cape Cod, MA, blames himself for a patient's death, she finds herself abandoned when he volunteers to work in a London hospital to make karmic amends. Iris is the titular postmistress in the same small town, who takes her official job as postmaster as seriously as her unofficial job of keeping her small community informed (or not) of the goings-on in the world. An ocean and a world apart, Frankie works for the BBC, desperately trying to tell her nightly stories in a way that will make the war seem real to her fellow Americans--real enough to sit up and participate, rather than dismiss it as something unfortunate that happens to other people. All three women cross paths after Frankie witnesses something in London and feels compelled to travel back to the US to find Emma and to confront Iris.
In the meantime, Blake does a great job of establishing how life must go on, whether you're waiting every single day for months to hear from your husband to know whether he is alive, or whether your home has been bombed and you have no place left to live. Most of all, though, she shows the importance of telling stories and bearing witness--that in the end, it's only our personal connections with other humans that will get us involved, either literally or metaphorically, in a way that will effect a change in this world.
Margaret Leroy's The Soldier's Wife takes place during the Nazi occupation of the island of Guernsey during WWII, and its third person narrative follows Vivienne de la Mare, a woman who must daily walk the fine edge between patriotism and practicality. After her husband enlists, it falls to her to keep her daughters and her ailing mother-in-law safe in a world that has suddenly become alien to her. When German officers requisition the house next door and turn out to be rather neighborly, Vivienne finds herself constantly second-guessing her actions under their scrutiny. Other islanders may be high-minded about fraternization, but Vivienne simply cannot afford those same scruples when her family's well-being is at stake. Only when food from their their own scarce supply goes missing and her younger daughter regales her nightly with tales of the ghost in the barn does Vivienne realize that there is a moral burden unfolding that might become too heavy for her to bear.
What I really liked about The Soldier's Wife is that unlike many wartime settings, it leaves room for people who are neither cowardly nor heroic, but somewhere in between. At first I was a little surprised about the rapport Vivienne develops with some of the German officers, but I think it is perhaps a more realistic presentation than the patriotic resistance narrated in The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society. It demands that readers reflect on what they would or would not do to preserve their family: Would you feed another starving human if it means your children will go without food? Would you risk your home as a safe house? Would you turn away from the torture or murder of a prisoner when interfering means deportment to a work camp? How do you raise your child to be a moral person when you cannot the example you want to, because to do so is to risk your life or your child's?
And there's always the smaller, garden variety dilemma. If the kind German officer across the street gives you medicine to save your daughter, are you morally required to show him gratitude when it's the German occupation that is causing the dire shortage of needful things? If so, how much gratitude? If medicine is okay to accept, what about a loaf of bread? Clothing? More than anything else, I would say that this book demonstrates that for most of us who aren't cut out to play the noble hero, the lines we draw in the sand between what we are and are not capable of doing are ever-shifting under the weight of our complicated humanity.
~Emily Crowe

A new report says nearly three-fourths of N.C. counties have hit double digit unemployment, with Hickory, Rocky Mount and Greenville hit especially hard. 82 of the state's 100 counties saw an increase in unemployment during May, said the Employment Security Commission. Five counties joined the list of those with double-digit joblessness, bringing the number to 72.
Greenville saw the highest month-to-month jump - from 10.1 percent to 11 percent unemployment. The highest unemployment rates were found in Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, followed by Rocky Mount. Accordint to the N.C. Justice Center, "Significantly, loss of government jobs began to play a role in growing unemployment. With cuts in state and local spending, more government positions are frozen or eliminated, contributing to the rise in joblessness."
Notes the Justice Center's Elaine Mejia, as more and more working families are thrown out of work, public investment is absolutely necessary. Government programs don't just stimulate the economy, they provide essential support for people who, through no fault of their own, find themselves jobless."It's particularly important, Mejia, said, for people to have access to the NC Health Choice program, which provides health insurance for the children of working families who do not have health insurance through their employer. Another way the state can help, she said, is by keeping doors to community colleges open for workers who seek retraining after being thrown out of work.

Joblessness up; public investment needed?

Meck got $25m. in unemployment benefits in May alone, compared to $20m. for Wake.
Just how much more of an investment do we need, and wouldn't it be cheaper for folks to move to where the jobs are? - June 26, 2009 at 2:09 PM

Where do we donate to buy THOSE guys a burger and beer for twisting your arm into releasing this app, anyway?
Free Burger's for Craty's Moto Buddies c/o The Vortex Atlanta GA We are going to be there tomorrow night. T.Rex would love a free burger.
Sorry if this is an old topic, but I couldn't find it in the vids or FAQ... Is there a way I can see what areas i've cached, and at what zoom level, other than panning around in airplane mode? I want to load my 32 GB sd.
NICE! I recognize the tank bag (I have one), what tablet is that? Is it easy to use the touchscreen through the map window?
That's pretty rockin ! That's all... I'm stealth camping tonight on the drz, and we're all using gps cords and DSM to get their individually. How cool is that ? :)
Yup, fandango tank bag; and the screen works perfectly through the plastic of the map sleeve. I cut out some dense foam and made a little house for the tablet to live in, notching out where the battery charger hookup is, and the power button on the side. I made it kinda thick on purpose, to 'push' the tablet against the plastic of the bag so the touchscreen would work. And yeah, google nexus 7.
Can you upload gpx files and follow the routes with the google offline maps or do you need an app? Odd grammar, words and spelling brought to you by my iPhone's autocorrect.
Thanks. I think I'll give it a shot. Odd grammar, words and spelling brought to you by my iPhone's autocorrect.
Yup, dual sport maps. Something that needed to be created, crafty really put something cool together.
Kudos... impressed with your work.. I also feel like a rather spodely developer now. Looking forward to taking it for a spin soon.

Except in rare cases, information generated from wearable devices falls outside the scope of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, which was intended to protect the confidentiality of healthcare data. (Photo by Thinkstock.)
Consumers are more tech-savvy and results-oriented than ever before, so perhaps it's no surprise that wearables rank among the hottest forecasted fitness trends for 2017. Yet a new American University study warns against the devices' potentially unprecedented privacy risks. In a report published Dec. 15, researchers with American University and the Center for Digital Democracy cited a lack of regulatory systems as the primary reason for why consumers' personal health data ...

A 21-year-old man was being treated for serious injuries in hospital today after he was stabbed in a suspected gang attack in east London.
The victim was attacked in Manchester Road on the Isle of Dogs just before 2am this morning.
Police were called to the scene at the junction with Plevna Street, close to St John's Park, and found the man suffering from stab wounds.
Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service took him to an east London hospital for further treatment.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said his condition was not thought to be life-threatening.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Trident Gang Crime Command were investigating the attack today and continuing to hunt for his attacker.
Meanwhile in a separate and unrelated attack in east London, a 24-year-old man was stabbed multiple times during the early hours of Friday morning.
The victim was attacked in Rainhill Way, Tower Hamlets, close to the junction with Bruce Way, just before 1.40am, Scotland Yard.
He was taken to an east London hospital to be treated for "a number of stab wounds", police said. His condition was later described by the Met as "stable".
Anyone with information about either attack can contact police on 101.

Real problems, virtual solutions
This article is part of the Storage magazine issue of Vol. 1 No. 4 June 2002
Is 2002 the year of virtualization? Or just the year of virtualization hype? Full of fire, we set out to find the early adopters, the cutting-edge dudes, who were pioneering virtualization and find out what they were learning. Was it a technology that lives up to its promise? What were the minefields they had to cross to implement it? What we found is that not many storage managers are even in the early days of implementing virtualization. In fact, not many of you even use the word virtualization. Richard Scannell of GlassHouse Technologies, who contributes to our Integration column, told me recently that of the last 100 IT managers he's spoken to, not one of them used the term virtualization. It's a buzzword in the worse sense - a word that hides a lot of difficult problems under one lazy umbrella. Don't get me wrong. The concept of virtualizing storage into logical abstractions is a fine idea, in the best traditions of layered software. The problem is that the storage industry has a tendency to shout, "Virtualization!" as an ...

To the editor:
As seniors become the largest population in Kansas, it is important for residents to be aware of issues the elderly face.
Fact: The aging population will be the largest population in the state of Kansas within the next 10 to 15 years.
Fact: Some nursing homes practice discrimination by denying seniors admission based solely on their funding source.
Fact: It is illegal in Kansas for admissions staff to ask for payment type before the person is admitted to the facility.
Fact: If a nursing home takes any Medicaid funding, they are a Medicaid facility. They are not allowed to make a quota system or allow only a certain number of Medicaid users into their facility.
Fact: Medicaid pays less to nursing home facilities than they can get from private-pay clients.
Fact: Seniors are illegally denied admission to nursing home facilities every day based on their pay source.
Fact: The senior population is involved and contributes a great deal to our society.
Fact: Senior issues should be at the forefront of our policy development.
You may not personally have any contact with seniors right now, but the odds are that either you will or you will be a senior in the near future. Having some knowledge about senior issues is necessary to navigate the Medicaid and nursing home systems. As constituents and concerned citizens, we should be looking into more choices for the elderly to have the best care possible.

I hope everyone is well, and how about that memorial for Michael Jackson?????
I don't know about you all, but I will admit it.......I cried. My gosh, I grew up with his musical influence, and I'm only one year younger, so it really has been most of my life. I thought he was magical and his dancing was indescribable. I loved his songs and had a couple of his albums (Thriller & Bad) and can remember singing along to "ABC" on their cartoon show.
Well, now on to my first of a series of dolls I'm calling "Sassy Girls." My first one is named Cali and she's really not so much sassy as she is very dolly looking. She's got somewhat of a vintage look about her, and I created her outfit accordingly. I actually had made the legs, with shoes, months ago for another doll I was thinking about, but never got around to. These legs were "literally" hanging around my studio, and I figured I better get a wiggle on and get a doll made.
So, here's Cali:
She stands about 13" tall, and has exaggerated extremities (i.e. big head, hands, feet) maybe I did her in my image........no not really! Here's some more pic's:
Egads.........she's wearing undies, too!
These are the legs that started the whole thing.
I should have Cali on my Etsy site within the next couple of days for any of you who would love to give her a new home. She really wants a new home as it's getting crowded here with all my craft stuff, and more dolls on the way.
Thanks for stopping by, come back often.
