Kitesurfing Jumps – Woo 3 vs Surfr App
November 16, 2021 June 22, 2021 by Adrian
Once you've mastered the basics of kitesurfing you'll definitely want to start boosting your first kitesurfing jumps. And the introduction of the Woosports jump sensor has revived massive interest in "Big Air Kiteboarding". But the recent introduction of the Surfr App has led to a few questions over which is the best. So in this article I'll look at the Woo 3 Vs Surfr so you can decide for yourself.
What Are Jump Sensors? – And How Do They Work?
Both the Woo, which is now in its third version, and the Surfr app use similar technology to measure the height and duration of kitesurfing jumps. The difference is that the Surfr app is a free download to your smartphone and uses the phone's inbuilt motion sensors to detect and measure jumps. This means you need to have your phone either attached to your board inside the mount they can supply, or carried on your body.
The Woo on the other hand uses a small sensor attached to your board. This connects to your smartphone via a dedicated app, when you return to dry land, at which point your session is downloaded to the phone.
You can also connect the Woo to a smartwatch so you can see your performance in real time.
The sensor itself is about the size of a matchbox and fixes to a stick-on mount near the centre of your board.
Now for the complicated bit!
The Woo 3 uses a 9 axis motion detector to sense changes in acceleration in different directions. The in-built algorithm compares all the data on acceleration in the 9 different axes to detect the initiation of a jump (or other tricks) and then the relative change in vertical (and other) movement.
By automatically analysing all the relative data the device detects the height and time of various tricks, including jumps.
The Surfr app uses similar technology that is built into most modern smartphones.
Both allow you to store, analyse and share your achievements via an app, which is available for both Android and IOS devices, including smartwatches in the case of the Woo.
And this is where they can be so much fun!
Both incorporate a "leaderboard" that shows the achievements of the whole community on each app, but also selected members or groups, either peers or by region.
So you can see how your jumps compare with the pros around the world, but more importantly for most of us, with our own peer group and our own previous performance.
But it's not just about jump height. The Woo 3 allows you to score freestyle tricks based on various measures, such as rotations and G force. There is no indication yet as to whether this will be possible via the Surfr app.
For most recreational kitesurfers who neither have the time, skills or wish to enter formal competitions it could be argued that the introduction of these devices has allowed us all to get involved in kitesurfing competition in an inexpensive and easy way.
Any kiting session you want to can now be turned into an opportunity to push personal boundaries and compete with whoever you want to.
Woo 3
Woosports was the first to introduce the jump sensor in 2015. The Woo is designed specifically for kitesurfing, although it can also be used for other sports such as snowboarding and skiing.
Although I couldn't get any data directly from Woo on how many units have been sold they have over 31,000 users on the Global Leaderboard (every session you download is automatically shared to this), 22,000 followers on their Facebook page and over 26,000 on Instagram, so that gives an idea of the numbers of people in the "Woo Community".
The original Woo 1 and Woo 2 definitely captured the imagination of the kitesurfing community and are still being used by thousands of kiters. However, the latest version has significantly more features such as integration with smartwatches, so that you can see your performance instantly without waiting to download the data back on the beach.
They've also significantly improved the battery life to 8+ hours and durability of both the sensor and its waterproof mounting, to withstand the worst you can throw at it.
The Detail
The Woo 3 Sensor
Board Mount Housing
Free app for Apple or Android devices
The "Hardware"
There isn't a lot to say about the actual device to be honest, It's a little blue plastic box! It's what's inside that does the magic.
The sensor itself measures 5.4 x 2.2 x 1.7 cms and everything's contained within that. The mounting it goes in is made to fit, so only slightly larger. There's a single button on the side that operates everything and the mount has a waterproof button that allows you to operate the sensor when it's inside.
There's a single LED indicator on top that tells you what mode it's in – completely foolproof!
at the other end is the connector for the charger that fits a normal USB socket in a phone charger or laptop.
The App is free to download and join the community, and the Woo is basically controlled from the app (apart from switching it on and putting it in record mode).
It's really simple to set up, you basically set up your profile, link it to your phone and then log in and pair the two either to change the mode or download your session.
The Woo 3 has two modes:
Big Air – Measures jump height, air time and highest jump.
Freestyle – Uses artificial intelligence to score a range of tricks, designed in conjunction with pro kiteboarders.
Both have their own separate leaderboards.
You select which mode you want to measure, using the app, before each session.
There's also the facility to compare with specific community members or members in any location. Each session you download is automatically entered into the leaderboard.
At present the app is only available for IOS and Android, although it can also connect to Apple, Android and Garmin smartwatches so that you can see each jump (in Big Air mode) instantly.
At the end of each session you simply get your phone, turn the Woo sensor to standby mode and then, when the phone and sensor have paired again, download your session.
Woo Pro
Woosports has recently introduced an additional dimension to the app which is entirely optional but adds a whole new range of analytical ability over and above the normal app functions. It also allows you to connect your performance and get feedback from the Pro community.
Another welcome feature of the Woo Pro addition is GPS tracking.
Personally I don't see a huge benefit to Woo pro for the everyday recreational kiter, even at the reasonable price of US$6.99 per month ($46.99 per year). But it's a great function for those really looking to up their game. And who knows what else they'll include in the future.
The Woo 3 package comes in at a cost of approximately US$200 (€180, £155), which includes the Woo 3 sensor, charger and mounting box. However, readers of this article can purchase the full package for £145 and additional mounting boxes for £18 – just click below:
CLICK HERE FOR BEST PRICE ON A WOO 3
The App is free to download and use.
Woo Pro costs US$6.99 per month or $46.99 per year.
Additional mounting boxes are available at a cost of approximately $20, so you can attach your Woo to as many boards as you want to.
Surfr App
The Surfr app was introduced in 2020 to use existing technology already built into most smartphones including iPhones from 6 upwards, and most Android phones. A full list of compatible phones is available on the Surfr website.
No sim card is needed if you just want to measure and record jump height and airtime although you will need a sim if you want to access additional features such as speed achieved, tracking and live feed.
There are 2 modes available:
Wetsuit Mode
Board Mode
In Wetsuit Mode the app simply runs in the background, recording your session. It's designed for those who don't want to risk attaching their phone to the board, with the obvious risks of damage or loss. So all you'll need is the app and a waterproof pouch.
In Board Mode the phone must be attached to the board on a flat surface in "landscape" i.e with the phone mounted lengthwise.
Surfr provide a board mount which they claim will suit 99% of phones in use. There were some major problems with the first version of the mount in terms of water tightness and it becoming detached.
The new version of the mount, which seems to have been significantly improved, is currently (June 2021) awaited but is available to pre-order at a cost of US$40.
In Board Mode the phone displays in big clear numbers the jump height in real time. This is a compelling advantage of the app as you can immediately see how high you've just jumped. It also has live feed (if connected to the internet) so you get updates on jumps achieved by your peers. And they can also see your live feed.
The app only works with smartphones, not watches, so the obvious question is whether you are happy to take your precious phone out on the water.
There's obviously the option to use a second (older/cheaper) phone, either with or without a sim.
Although the app is still fairly new, it is getting a growing number of users. But at this point there is nowhere near the level of community the Woo enjoys.
The new board mount costs US$40 but is not yet available.
There may be extra costs if you choose to use a second phone with or without sim card.
Questions on Accuracy
Any Google search of Woo will bring up heated discussions on accuracy, particularly in comparison to the older Woo 2 and Woo1 sensors, with allegations that the Woo 3 consistently measures jumps higher than the earlier versions.
In their defence though Woosports have always stated that the jump measurements are an estimate, and it's notoriously difficult to measure the height of a kitesurfing jump as it starts from a constantly changing surface.
Numerous independent reviews (some good, some pretty amateur) have tried to compare the heights of jumps as measured by various versions of the Woo and also the now defunct PIQ device, and the Woo 3 does seem to measure higher than all the others.
That said, it's not conclusive whether the error is with the other devices or the Woo 3.
And Woosports are regularly updating the "firmware" software (available free to download) of the device to improve accuracy and functionality.
Let's not forget that until Woosports launched their device there was no way to measure, with ANY degree of accuracy, the height achieved by kitesurfers. And the professional bodies around the world have taken on board the Woo as the benchmark for jumping records.
The Surfr app has also been the subject of a number of independent comparisons with Woo 3, and overall the results are very similar, although the Woo 3 generally seems to be measuring an average of between 0.5 to 1 metre higher than Surfr.
It's quite possible that Woo 3 is the more accurate of the two as it employs a 9 axis motion sensor rather than just the accelerometer and gyroscope sensor used by Surfr.
But I believe we need to put this in perspective. The professional kitsurfing bodies have a good idea whether a jump is higher than say 10, 20 or 30 metres and have accepted the Woo 3 as the best measurement of just how much higher it is.
I personally am happy to know that a jump was roughly what it felt like and, more importantly, how it compares with my own personal best and that of my peer group.
As far as the Surfr app is concerned, the accuracy has not really been questioned, and it is gaining a lot of interest. But, given it is nowhere near as widely adopted yet as Woo, I feel it is a case of "watch this space" as far as Surfr is concerned.
The large following that Woo has attracted, and the interest in Surfr App, is testament to the fact that kitesurfers are a competitive bunch.
It's also revived interest in "Big Air" kitesurfing, which until the introduction of Woo, had been a bit side-lined in favour of free-style tricks. A lot of recreational kitesurfers don't aspire to pulling off highly technical (and sometimes painful) free-style unhooked tricks.
Reaching ever-increasing heights is however well within the ability of most kitesurfers once they master the basics and I personally will be using my Woo 3 for years to come.
The Surfr app is an interesting development and, given its relative low cost will gain in popularity as the community increases. I particularly like the instant read-out in Board Mode. However, the issues around having a phone attached to a board (e.g if you lose the board) will put a lot of kiters off.
The thing I like most about the Woo is the simplicity of it and the large community using it. It's difficult to compare your Surfr jumps with peers as most of them aren't using it. And there'll always be skepticism about comparing jumps measured with different devices.
The cost of a Woo 3 is pretty reasonable too when you consider the amount of fun you can have with it. So at the moment my loyalty is with the Woo 3.
I hope you found this article helpful. But I always appreciate the views of readers and reply as soon as possible (wind permitting!)

The construction industry plays a pivotal role in infrastructure development, which ultimately leads to economic growth. We talk to three experts in the construction industry about the current landscape and the future of a built Africa.
Taking a closer look at the current landscape of African infrastructure investments, it is largely focused on short- to medium-term political gain rather than addressing the long term requirements. To this end most projects have a very short delivery time and deals more with local needs rather than regional needs. Projects are largely implemented in isolation.
The African economy has undergone fundamental changes over the last decade. Growth in investor interest is driven by strong economic growth, rising foreign exchange reserves, quality and cost competitiveness and encouraging government policy-making. The strong level of economic growth achieved in Africa in recent years has led to an expansion of industry, commerce and per capita income. This in turn has fuelled demand for infrastructure services including energy, transportation, ICT, water supply, growing agriculture and urban infrastructure.
Dangote saw a need for cement supply into Africa and rather than waiting for the demand to improve he moved forward with a strategy of reducing high cost manufacturing centres as well as areas where cement imports were dominating. Today Dangote is a major player in the market and has helped drive down cement costs and increased supply across several African counties including South Africa. "With his new technology it is able to rescue production costs and pass the lower costs onto the consumers," he says.
Musa Shangase, Commercial Director for Corobrik, disagrees, saying that African Development Bank President, Akinwumi Adesina, recently reported that if they don't fix Africa's infrastructure financing gap—which they put at some US $60-70 billion a year—they will continue to take two percentage points off Africa's annual growth rates.
"That itself tells us that the future does not look good," Shangase says.
Commenting on the greatest challenges to overcome when it comes to infrastructure investments on the African continent, Frans Pienaar, Chairman of Inyatsi Construction, says capacity within government bodies and implementing agencies limit the vision and the rate at which infrastructure development can take place.
"In most of our markets across sub Saharan Africa many appointments of officials in implementing agencies is politically motivated and not always as focused on the skills requirement as it should be," he says.
This limits the effectiveness and visionary implementation of infrastructure for the future.
"In some markets there are exceptions and we find that these markets are usually also attracting the most political attack from the public, the press and the political enemies of the government of the day. So when widespread aggressive infrastructure projects get underway, petty politics often takes over trying to force the authorities to focus on smaller, more localised and short-term issues.
"The macro view is then cast aside for short-term political gain on the low hanging fruit of dealing with short term issue rather than the real issues at hand," according to Shangase.
According to Shangase, the greatest challenges to overcome when it comes to infrastructure investment in Africa, is energy. With 650 million Africans without electricity, the continent has to power up and light Africa.
Pienaar says from an investment point of view, to ensure a sustainable future of the construction industry, both client bodies and funding agencies should shift more towards turnkey type products where procurement is done through a one stop shop rather than feeding a host of consultants.
"Let the control and responsibility lie with the entities that has the ability to manage the risks best. Contractors should be given a wider mandate, but also a larger responsibility and accountability. With complex and diverse teams of clients, consultants, contractors and sub-contractors, there is too much room for blame shifting and nobody takes responsibility. The client is exposed and with a lack of capacity they are exposing the client bodies to massive contractual claims and escalation," he told Opportunity.
Booysen on the other hand says we need more affordable raw materials and access to raw materials. This includes manufacturing primary materials such as cement, bricks, blocks and concrete at affordable prices to lower total construction costs and growing the middle class by having more affordable construction rolling out across the continent. Skills are also required to ensure higher productivity and better usage of materials.
Shangase says the future of Africa lies in Africa and the African Union should use Africa's resources and African markets to sustain the future of the construction industry in the continent.
As to what can African governments can do to boost foreign investment in the continent as far as construction goes, Booysen suggests that a friendlier tax programme for foreigner's investing in large capital projects will boost FDI. "Government should ensure more skills development, which will allow new entrants access to a skilled workforce, rather than Africa being only a labour pool.
Africa should create a skilled workforce that can assist in the rollout of projects through human capital rather than sweat equity by way of labour only," says Booysen.
Shangase's solution to governments boosting foreign investment, is that governments on the continent should come up with an integrated plan to accommodate the market.
He says this will help Africa's long-term growth to increasingly reflect interrelated social and demographic changes, creating new domestic engines of growth. Key among these will be urbanisation, an expanding labour force, and the rise of the middle-class African consumer.
"In 1980, just 28% of Africans lived in cities. Today, over 40% of the continent's one billion people do—a proportion roughly comparable to China and larger than India. By 2030, that share is projected to rise to 50%, and Africa's top 18 cities will have a combined spending power of $1.3 trillion," says Shangase.
Booysen told Opportunity that there is not enough foreign direct investment (FDI) happening on the continent (and in South Africa).
"Africa is being throttled for whatever reason. Some governments create uncertainty by not having clear policies and this is a deterrent for FDI. What we need to create is more in-country investment. We cannot wait for FDI. Africa needs to move forward and start building its own mega projects. This can be achieved through efficient public offerings when the citizens of the country and willing investors can invest in new projects, companies and business ideas that can create equity wealth on the continent. There are also group funding projects or crowd funding when citizens and corporations can invest in ideas across the continent and become wealthy through equity ownership and success on new projects." He says companies like Dangote are an example of not being hindered by waiting for funding. They rather generated their equity on the continent and moved forward through a solid business strategy that investors want to be part of.
"Governments across Africa interfere in everything and frustrate business, investors and funding agencies alike. Of course governments have a role to play, but should stay in their space and should not try and control something it does not have the capacity, competence or experience to do. Government's interference creates opportunity for corruption and opportunism to have obstacles 'managed'. A very small fraction of the money invested in infrastructure actually gets spent on what it is meant for.
"A typical project will go through feasibility concept design, preliminary design, final design, design review, tender, tender review, external supervision appointment and then, maybe, construction. This should be a single process with accountability required from the entity receiving the money. If governments, funding agencies and investors would just ask, business can manage this whole process and do it cheaper, faster, more efficient and actually get it done," says Pienaar.
Shangase adds that the only foreign investment that is visible in the continent is from China and, he says, it does not create enough economic growth, because China uses its own resources, both human and material.
Yet the big question remains: Is South Africa properly aligned for massive future foreign investment in infrastructure?
Pienaar says when one looks at where South Africa is falling short when it comes to infrastructure development, there is a fundamental lack of true transformation and unless the industry changes its mind set about the issues at hand, we will just keep on losing skills and capacity and set ourselves up to be abused by foreign entities that operate with short-term agendas.
Although Booysen is positive that South Africa has the skills to be competitive as well as the technology to supply world class infrastructure design, development and rollout, he says unfortunately there is not a big enough market currently in South Africa and our construction companies now need to look abroad to find work.
The implications of this on the building industry in is that we have lost, and will lose massive amounts of skills at corporate and management level. Pienaar says these are world class companies with great teams that are now creating opportunities for their teams abroad.
Booysen agrees, and adds that although we are losing our special skills to foreign projects, at least we are keeping people employed and when the projects come back to South Africa, we would not have lost our skills permanently.

Governor Ron DeSantis Reinforces Support for Florida Law Enforcement Through New Initiatives to Recruit and Retain Officers Memorandum: Flags at Half-Staff in Honor of Circuit Judge Steven C. Henderson
Governor Ron DeSantis Announces New Monoclonal Antibody Site in Osceola County
On September 7, 2021, in News Releases, by Staff
Local monoclonal antibody patients share treatment success stories
ST. CLOUD, Fla.– Today, Governor Ron DeSantis was in St. Cloud to announce that Florida will open a new monoclonal antibody treatment site in Osceola County at St. Cloud Community Center. Additionally, the Governor was joined by Floridians who have recovered thanks to monoclonal therapies. Florida now has 23 state-run monoclonal antibody treatment sites.
The Osceola County site is located at:
St. Cloud Community Center
St. Cloud, Florida 34769
Hours: 7 days a week, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Hear directly from monoclonal antibody recipients about their experience with the therapy…
Paola Roman, who has a home in St. Cloud with her husband David, said, "I believe my first symptoms were on a Thursday, and I remember getting in the car and saying a quick prayer. I had a week where it was extremely difficult to even just get up and shower, brush my teeth. Walking from the bedroom to get a water refill, my legs were like spaghetti. I want to say thank you because it was extremely helpful to be able to drive over to Orlando and to get the treatment.
David Roman, Paola's husband who is an architect, designer and former pastor, said, "When my wife came home sick I knew that there were options and resources, so I started to read as much as I could on what could be done. I saw an advertisement from the state on this treatment, and I saw that there was one within driving distance from our home here in St. Cloud. After waves of nausea and temperatures spikes, I got the Regeneron treatment. 3 days later I was back up and I felt like myself again, and I just want to say thank you so much."
Chrissy Malukiewicz, who found out about the treatment from her brother-in-law who works in law enforcement, said, "I tested positive for COVID in August, two weeks prior to that, my brother and his wife, who reside in citrus county, had tested positive for COVID. The moment that I told them that I tested positive, they encouraged me to go get the antibody treatment. I fell asleep still experiencing symptoms, but the next morning my fever had broken, no more chills, no more body aches, and I only had a dull headache. I thoroughly believe that these antibodies are here to help us, and I am so incredibly grateful and thankful that our state has these available to us."
Dennis Sharp, an Osceola County resident with a suppressed immune system, said, "I have been being treated for cancer at MD Anderson in Houston. I tested positive for COVID in August, and they advised me that I needed to get the monoclonal treatment. A few days later I got the treatment. My symptoms leveled out, and I made it through within the 10-day quarantine.
"My mother in her seventies ended up with COVID as well. I made her and her husband aware of this treatment, and they were able to visit one of the state sites and get treated. Her husband has not tested positive and her symptoms went away. I got the treatment and was able to promote it to family members, and I'll continue to promote it to family, friends, employees, because I really believe it helps to keep people from having long hospital stays."
Bill Sturgeon, St. Cloud City Manager whose daughter contracted COVID, said, "My daughter was diagnosed with COVID, had difficulty breathing, and drove herself to the hospital. I knew she was in serious situation and ensured she received the monoclonal antibodies. It was an easy decision for me to help set up this site in Osceola County, and I attribute the treatment to saving her life."

After landing on the Nintendo 3DS for the first time, I tested the original formula with Nintendo's beautiful Mii avatars. Mythology Nintendo is preparing to launch the Switch next May 21st. Its release is pending, and players can put the title to the test thanks to a demo that can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop Digital Store.
In Mythology, Players can embark on a hilarious, customizable adventure with their friends, family or anyone they choose. With the free demo, fans can discover the key features of the video game, its basic feature: the creation and customization of Miis.
Mythology In fact, it gives them the opportunity to create new characters, make them wear glamorous wigs, colorful hairstyles and all kinds of makeup. You can easily share Miis with friends using the passcode, so you can use them to expand another copy of the game into different characters as well. In Mythology, In fact, each character in the group that embarks on the adventure will have a specific character, from the most classic to the most unusual: anyone who does not want to show off a sword or a stick can fight using a microphone like Bob. Star or shake a dish against enemies in the role of a cook. Others may even want to be a cat.
Each member of the group will have different characteristics: Depending on the personality of each, the actions in battle may be different. A loving clergyman can protect other Mii characters in the party, but may want to save enemies, while a stubborn scientist may attack twice or refuse to help. The team can also count on the help of a reliable horse, who will lend a hand in battle and assist the soldiers in carrying out attacks on the horse.

What is the matching principle in accounting?
Last editedDec 2020 — 2 min read
Understanding the matching principle
How the matching concept in accounting works
What is revenue recognition?
Matching principle example
Matching principle benefits
Matching principle limitations
There's a common concept in business that you have to spend money to make money. The matching principle offers a way to recognize this idea in accounting. So, what is the matching principle in accounting, and when is it used?
The matching principle is part of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), based on the cause-and-effect relationship between spending and earning. It requires that any business expenses incurred must be recorded in the same period as related revenues. In other words, it formally acknowledges that business must spend money in order to earn revenue.
Accrual accounting is based on the matching principle, which defines how and when businesses adjust the balance sheet. If there is no cause-and-effect relationship leading to future related revenue, then the expenses can be recorded immediately without adjusting entries.
The purpose of the matching principle is to maintain consistency across a business's income statements and balance sheets. Here's how it works:
Expenses are recorded on the income statement in the same period that related revenues are earned.
Liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at the end of the accounting period.
Expenses not directly tied to revenues should be reported on the income statement in the same period as their use.
When expenses are recognized too early or late, it can be difficult to see where they result in revenue. This can potentially distort financial statements and give investors an unclear view of the overall financial position. For example, if you recognize an expense too early it reduces net income. On the other hand, if you recognize it too late, this will raise net income.
You could look at the matching concept in accounting as a blend of accrual accounting methods and the revenue recognition principle.
According to the revenue recognition principle, revenue must be recognized and recorded on the income statement when it's earned or realized. Businesses don't have to wait for the cash payment to be received to record this sales revenue. An example of revenue recognition would be a contractor recording revenue when a single job is complete, even if the customer doesn't pay the invoice until the following accounting period.
To better understand how this concept works in the real world, imagine the following matching principle example.
A cosmetics company uses sales representatives, who earn a 10% commission on their sales at the end of each month. For the month of November, the company earned $100,000 in sales, and they will pay their sales reps $10,000 in resulting commission fees in December.
According to the matching principle, both the commission fees (expenses) and cosmetic sales (related revenue) must be recorded in the same accounting period. This means that both should be recorded in the November income statement.
By contrast, if the company used the cash basis of accounting rather than accrual, they would record the revenue in November and the commission in December.
There are several benefits to using the matching principle when preparing your financial statements:
Consistency across financial statements, including the balance sheet and income statement
Greater accuracy when representing the company's financial position
Less chance of misstating profits during a particular accounting period
Depreciation costs can be distributed over time
On the other hand, some businesses might choose the cash accounting method instead of accrual, in which case the matching principle might not be the best choice. There are some limitations to this concept, including the following:
More challenging when there is no direct cause-and-effect relationship between revenues and expenses
Doesn't work as well when related revenue is spread out over time, as with marketing or advertising costs
Still, these are limited situations where it becomes more difficult to use. Overall, it's a good idea to understand the matching principle for the purpose of day-to-day accounting.

Q: Using useState to store state for an array of objects I am working with react and fetching data from here, https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users. This returns an array of objects and I was hoping to store it in my useState hook. What I have tried right now is this:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";

const UserList = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState([
    {
      id: "",
      email: "",
      website: "",
      phone: "",
      name: ""
    }
  ]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users")
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((json) => {
        console.log(json);
        json.map((object) => {
          setData((data) => [
            ...data,
            {
              id: object.id,
              email: object.email,
              website: object.website,
              phone: object.phone,
              name: object.name
            }
          ]);
        });
      });
  }, []);

  return (
    <>

          {data.map((info) => {

;
          })}

    </>
  );
};

export default UserList;

I feel I am making some mistakes while using the spread operator to store the data as a console.log reveals. When I place a console.log(info) in the data.map function, it keeps on repeating the ten objects. I am a little unsure exactly how that part of the code is working so if anyone can offer any suggestions or anything that would be helpful.

A: remove json.map and place this code
setData((data) => [
  ...data,
  ...json.map(({id, email, website, phone, name}) => ({
    id,
    email,
    website,
    phone,
    name
  })),
]);

A:
Spread syntax (...) allows an iterable such as an array expression or
string to be expanded in places where zero or more arguments (for
function calls) or elements (for array literals) are expected, or an
object expression to be expanded in places where zero or more
key-value pairs (for object literals) are expected. - spread syntax

When you use ... you copy everything thats on the right into a new variable. If it's used with an array [...items] it copies all the items in the array to an array variable named items. If it's an object {...item} it copies the fields of the object to a variable object named item.
In your code when you call setData, the data variable is the current/previous value of data, which is this:
[
    {
      id: "",
      email: "",
      website: "",
      phone: "",
      name: ""
    }
  ]

because of the initial default value that you set it as here:
  const [data, setData] = useState([
    {
      id: "",
      email: "",
      website: "",
      phone: "",
      name: ""
    }
  ]);

This means you're copying that array into a new array with a new object.
// for each json object
json.map((object) => {
         // update the data by:
          setData((data) => [
            ...data, // copying the current data into this array
            { // and adding this new object
              id: object.id,
              email: object.email,
              website: object.website,
              phone: object.phone,
              name: object.name
            }
          ]);
        });

But this is calling setData inside of a map so each element of json will repeat the process above and that is not ideal. Instead it's better if you can call setData once. By mapping json to the fields you want and then merging or the other provided suggestions posted.
  // map to the fields we're interested in using
  const newData = json.map(object => ({
    //  only use these fields for newData
    id: object.id,
    email: object.email,
    website: object.website,
    phone: object.phone,
    name: object.name,
  }));

  // copy the existing previous data with the new data we just fetched
  setData(previousData => [...previousData, ...newData]);

This above is much nicer, if this were called multiple times there might be chance for duplicates, but since its in an effect without any dependencies it only gets called once on mount. If you're expecting this fetch to happen once and decide that you really don't need the initial default you set for data you can get away with removing the need for ... spread/merging
  // we decided we didn't need the default obj
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);
  // map to the fields we're interested in using
  const newData = json.map(object => ({
    //  only use these fields for newData
    id: object.id,
    email: object.email,
    website: object.website,
    phone: object.phone,
    name: object.name,
  }));
  setData(newData)

Theres also this other issue you have with the list rendering. You're not returning anything so it renders a list of null and that doesn't show anything so you need to make sure it returns something:

          {id}
          // this function returns undefined
          {data.map((info) => {

;
          })}
          // this function returns
          {data.map((info) => {
            return

;
          })}
          // or return it with arrow implicitly
          {data.map((info) =>

)}

A: Initially declare const [data, setData] = useState([]); and wrap the return element li inside parentheses. See working code below,
import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";

const UserList = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users")
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((json) => {
        console.log(json);
        json.map((object) => {
          setData((data) => [
            ...data,
            {
              id: object.id,
              email: object.email,
              website: object.website,
              phone: object.phone,
              name: object.name
            }
          ]);
        });
      });
  }, []);

  return (
    <>

          {data.map((info) => (

{info.id}

          ))}

    </>
  );
};

export default UserList;

Private equity firm Elysian Capital has put Volvox, a Leeds-based car parts manufacturer, up for sale. Big Four firm PwC has been hired to explore the market for possible sale options.
Volvox is a British manufacturer in the area of lighting, electrical and consumable products. Examples of products include car light bulbs, chargers and battery packs. Volvox is organised along three divisions: Ring, its 40-year-old vehicle lighting unit; Van-Line, its garage workshop focused business; and BMAC, its train headlight division.
In 2005 the company was granted an independent status when it executed a £12 million management buy-out (MBO), backed by the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group. Since the MBO the firms' sales have risen by 60% to £40 million. In addition, its exports have more than quadrupled from less than £2 million to £8 million.
In 2011 Lloyds sold Volvox to counterpart Elysian Capital, a private equity firm founded in 2008 that specialises in lower mid-market deals of between £10 million and £100 million, with a focus on the UK.
Three years down the line Elysian Capital has now decided to capitalise on Volvox's higher value and has put the automotive producer up for sale with a £40 million price tag. The Corporate Finance practice of PwC has been hired by the private equity firm to carry out a strategic review and to explore possible sales options. In addition, PwC will (if required) manage the transaction process.

VanEck projects a bitcoin price of $4.8 million
By CNF Last updated Apr 1, 2022
According to VanEck, if bitcoin became a global reserve asset, it could reach $4.8 million.
VanEck, a financial services firm based in the United States, estimates that one bitcoin will eventually be worth $4.8 million. The prerequisite is that cryptocurrency establishes itself as a worldwide reserve asset.
Although, according to VanEck, the Chinese yuan is more likely to prevail in such a competition.
The theory was published in a March 30 article by Eric Fine, the company's manager, and Natalia Gurushina, the company's head economist. The duo attempted to compare the impact on gold and bitcoin prices if any of these assets were seen to be supportive of global currency systems.
According to VanEck's research, the price of BTC would then vary between $1.3 million to $4.8 million. In turn, we would pay $ 31,000 for an ounce of gold.
Goldman Sachs Calls Bitcoin The Strongest Asset
Financial markets undergoing a revolution?
Although it may appear unreasonable now, the company's concept is still alive and well. Why? The current global unrest, sparked mainly by the war on our eastern border, raises the question: what happens if the United States loses its current power rivalry?
Let us start with the reality that the US created its empire on the dollar, dethroning gold as the world's monetary foundation. Washington has also enabled today's oil trade to be dominated by "green." The US can print money with impunity because it expects that there will always be buyers for dollars.
For many years, the above system worked. The US elite ensured that those who dared to oppose the dollar had a sour ending. Consider Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. Both wanted to trade oil for dollars and were quickly deposed (in a rather gruesome way).

NGOs' Eviction During Curfew Is Another Blow to Democracy in Slovenia
October 28, 2020 • by LibertiesEU
The newly elected Slovenian government has a long track record on curbing criticism. Their latest move aims to silence civil society organisations. Raise your voice and join their petition.
The Slovenian Ministry of Culture has sent a letter to NGOs operating in a single building in downtown Ljubljana informing them of the termination of their lease contract. The stated reason for eviction was renovation. The problem with that explanation is that there is no budget allocated for such a project for two years. Instead, the letter appears to be yet another attempt by the government to restrict the space of civil society organisations and to silence critical voices.
The organizations operating at the NGO campus represent a diverse community of activists and artists who have contributed to civil society movements and the democratization and demilitarization of Slovenia since the 1980s.
The building was once the command headquarters for the Yugoslav National Army, so its occupation by cultural workers, artists and activists in 1993 was one of the symbolic moments of the new democratic society in Slovenia. Since then, it has been a public space where diversity, solidarity, dialogue and critical thinking are respected and encouraged.
Long list of human rights abuses
The current government in power is attempting to erase these values and this history. The eviction is another part of an ongoing trend of abuses on human rights. A recent report by Greenpeace Europe and Liberties exposed Slovenia as among those European countries where governments have been using the pandemic to crack down on criticism.
For instance, when the Constitutional Court questioned the necessity and proportionality of lockdown restrictions, including the ban on assemblies, and urged the government to carry out weekly assessments of whether they remained justified, the prime minister posted a tweet accusing the Court of being politically biased.
Media outlets reported being unable to get accurate information on COVID-19 infections or on measures taken to limit the spread of the virus among at-risk groups. Journalists, banned from physically attending press conferences, complained they had very few opportunities to ask questions. In addition, after Slovenia's public broadcaster (RTVS) exposed extensive political interference in the procurement of personal protective equipment, the government reacted by proposing worrisome changes to media legislation in July 2020.
In addition, the government used COVID-19 emergency measures to introduce important limitations on the involvement of environmental NGOs in administrative and court proceedings related to the issuing of building permits, which are meant to be in force at least until the end of 2021. Such restrictions are part of a broader plan to hinder access to public participation and justice for environmental NGOs, which the government is further pushing through taking advantage of the pandemic.
The government is also proposing controversial changes to media laws, which are said to be aimed at cracking down on media freedom and pluralism by progressively shifting media ownership into the hands of owners affiliated to the ruling majority. It was only thanks to widespread protests and criticism from international bodies that the government accepted to subject the bills to a meaningful public consultation.
Organisations take action
The evicted NGOs, activists and artists call on the government to stop attacking civil society and independent culture and to provide a free, safe and supportive environment for non-governmental organizations. If you agree, you can join their cause by signing their petition here.

PanoPal is a remote controlled device that evenly rotates your smartphone to get the perfect panoramic shot. The panoramic function has become increasingly popular in smartphone use. With new updates and software, our old one-shot smartphone cameras now have the ability to shoot an entire panoramic scene.
Although extremely useful, using our smartphone's panoramic camera can be a bit tricky. Unless perfectly still or on the original picture plane, our photos can often come out blurred or glitched. This is caused by either jolting the camera too fast, or moving the camera up and down. PanoPal seeks to fix this issue with its controlled rotating interface.
Using the PanoPal is easy; simply insert your iPhone, access your panoramic camera on either an app or on your phone, press capture, and using the remote control, rotate your phone at any time.
This even rotation eliminates blur and glitch, and produces high quality panoramic photos. The remote also connects direct to your phone via Bluetooth, having the all the features of a standard remote. You can take pictures remotely, play music, and adjust the volume between tracks.
This is a nifty little device that would surely excite the avid smartphone techie.

One of Governor Gavin Newsom's proposals for using the budget surplus is a new program, "Clean California," aimed at cleaning up and beautifying communities. Last week, the administration announced the release of $296 million in grants to 105 California communities for a wide range of projects, which can include trash removal, landscaping, and art installations – and pedestrian and bike path improvements.
For example, the city of Anaheim will receive $2.6 million to transform North La Palma Parkway into an attractive pedestrian/bicycle friendly, tree-lined, one-way corridor connecting dense, disadvantaged communities to La Palma Park and commercial corridors.
Bakersfield will receive $1.9 million for a project that will bring a public art installation, landscaping, lighting, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities including sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, and signage to a planned improvement for Garces Memorial Circle.
The city of Lancaster will get $5 million for work on the Amargosa Creek Recreational Trail Project. The two-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail extension along Amargosa Creek will connect to cultural centers, businesses, recreational opportunities, residential communities, schools, healthcare facilities, and transit stops.
Richmond will receive $5 million for working on two infrastructure projects, including one that will close a gap in sidewalk and a bike lane, as well as transform an unpaved alley.
Sacramento will receive $1.1 million for a new class one bike path along an old abandoned railroad line through existing neighborhoods, connecting residents with regional parks, area schools, markets, and other activity centers.
Many of the projects receiving grants include clean-up of litter and "beautification" that can include landscaping and public art.
The governor's proposed budget for 2022-23 includes another $100 million for more grants like these. In addition, 126 "beautification initiatives" along state highways also recently got funding, to the tune of $312 million, including major litter clean-up.
The entire list of grants is available here.

Q: Selenium in DJango Click failing on dropdown menu A bit stumped here.  I am writing a Selenium test for a class project in Python/Django and cannot understand the behavior I am seeing.  As part of the test I am clicking on a dropdown menu, then clicking on an option from that menu.
The initial click on the menu works.  The menu opens, and then the second click does not.  However it's not completely failing -- the click still generates a hover effect over the option in question.
I've done a fair bit of Selenium in the past, so I've tried alot of the standard debugging issues and nothing has worked yet.  Among them I've tried double clicking, using Select, using a different selector etc with no luck.  I'm going to goof around with ActionChains and SendKeys next, but would like to understand why simpler methods are not working.  My code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.test.testcases import LiveServerTestCase
from time import sleep
import os

class CreateIssueTestCase(LiveServerTestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
        user = User.objects.create_superuser(username="username", password="password", email="tester@gtest.com")
        user.save()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.driver.quit()
        User.objects.all().delete()

    def test_create_issue(self):

        self.driver.get("localhost:8081/issue/create")
        self.driver.find_element_by_id("id_username").send_keys("username")
        self.driver.find_element_by_id("id_password").send_keys("password")
        self.driver.find_element_by_id("id_password").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
        sleep(2)
        self.driver.find_element_by_id("id_project").click()
        sleep(2)
        self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#id_project > option:nth-child(3)").click()
        sleep(2)
        self.driver.find_element_by_id("id_issue_type").click()
        sleep(2)

The failed click is the second one in the test.  There are additional dropdowns on this page that are also behaving the same way.
I'll note I am not seeing any error output from this test.  Also, if I don't take further actions, the dropdown menu will remain open with the targeted option highlighted until the test ends.
Thanks,
UPDATE:
I've tried using
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#id_project > option:nth-child(3)").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

This also has not had the desired effect.  Instead of selecting the element in question, it simply closes the drop down menu.
The relevant html as read from firefinder:
<select id="id_project" name="project">
  <option value selected="selected">----------</option>
  <option value="1">Dummy project1</option>
  <option value="2">Dummy project2</option>
</select>

A: You should use find_element_by_css_selector(), since you're looking for a child element:
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#id_project > option:nth-child(3)")

find_element_by_id() doesn't accept the # selector syntax, or child elements.
EDIT: You're really better off selecting things this way:
el = self.driver.find_element_by_id('id_project')
for option in el.find_elements_by_tag_name('option'):
    if option.text == 'Dummy project2':
        option.click()

However, the following also works and has been tested on my machine, without first clicking id_project. I simply deleted the line before it, and replaced it with:
self.driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#id_project > option:nth-child(3)').click()


Sportful Fiandre Cabrio is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wiggybike from Worth every penny - first class I bought this on the strength of it winning a group test in Cycling Plus magazine - at the time it was new to the market and there were no user reviews at all, so it was something of a gamble. However, it's a real winner - its claims of being windproof and breathable are actually true, unlike previous (admittedly much cheaper) jackets I have bought. I was out recently in 4-5C with a single merino baselayer under the jacket, then again today in 12C+ and a thinner baselayer - both times I was perfectly comfortable. One caveat - the sizing is nonsense. I am 92Kg, 182cm with a 110cm chest and a XXXL is a perfect snug fit. That's the biggest size they do so if you're bigger than me, this is not for you. I can't imagine who a Medium might fit... I must also mention Wiggle's free returns system which is both excellent and very easy to use, while their customer support people who were right on the case when I needed them. I'm that satisfied I'm seriously thinking about buying another one. Thank you!

However, Disney decided to go with a relatively unknown actor instead in order to keep the budget down, and was eventually cast. Bradbury's prose is a strange hybrid of craftsmanship and lyricism. Among the casualties was a groundbreaking animation scene, which would have been one of the first major uses of in a Hollywood film; combining the then new technology of with traditional animation, it depicted Dark's circus train rolling into town, and the carnival magically materialising — the smoke from the locomotive becomes the ropes and tents, tree limbs grow together to form a ferris wheel, and a spider web morphs into a wheel of fortune.

This multichannel sound installation tells the story of Jake and Helen McCleary, an elderly couple struggling to save their troubled marriage. The story unfolds across a series of weekly therapy sessions in which Jake and Helen sort through the messy details of their relationship. Unlike a conventional audio drama, the characters' voices are constructed from fragments of oral history recordings of two people who have died—and who never met. Using a manual process of concatenated speech synthesis, the archival voices have been digitally disarticulated and recombined to create a new, fictional story and an uncanny encounter between living and dead, human and machine.


Saving money can be a challenge, and sometimes a great way to stay motivated is to join in with a savings challenge. There are some fantastic challenges around but some of them can be a little daunting and may feel a little out of reach. The 1p savings challenge may be a great way for you to save money without stretching yourself too thinly.
What is the 1p savings challenge?
I first talked about this challenge back in December of 2016. It's a great way to kick start your savings at the beginning of the year after all the expense of Christmas, however you can start this at any point, it doesn't need to just start from January 1st!
The idea is that you start on day one by saving one penny. Now you may think that saving a penny a day will get you nowhere fast! However, by increasing the amount you save by just one penny extra each day, you'll soon have saved up hundreds of £££.
You continue this pattern every day for one year, so that by day 365, you're adding £3.65 to your pot and you will have saved a MASSIVE £667.95!
To help to keep you motivated and to keep track of where you're up to, download this printable PDF 1p Savings Challenge tracker.
If you're starting this challenge in January, you may worry that by December you'll struggle to put away over £3 per day. In that case, simply complete the challenge in reverse. Start by saving £3.65 on your first day, then £3.64, £3.63 and so on.
If you find it easier to budget for the week and then put your money away, simply tot up the figure for the week and add it to your savings pot in one go.
You can either stash away cash every day, or set up a dedicated savings account for your 1p challenge, whichever suits you best. It's lovely to see real cash building up in a pot, however it sometimes easier and quicker to simply transfer money into a savings account online, especially if you don't often have much cash around the house.

Is a verbal tenancy agreement legal?
Yes, verbal tenancy agreements are a legal method of tenancy agreement.
These types of agreement are not recommended as the tenant and landlord can experience problems, for example, with rent payments and deposits. This type of agreement can be difficult to enforce because there is often no proof of what has been agreed. If a dispute went to the courts, there would be no written tenancy agreement as evidence, so this could result in one of the parties not getting the rights they believe were verbally agreed upon at the start of the tenancy.
However, as with written agreements, oral agreements also provide the landlord and tenant with certain rights; the difference is that they could be more difficult to enforce.
What is a fixed tenancy agreement?
A fixed agreement is for an agreed period of time (usually six or twelve months) which is stated in the tenancy agreement. A tenancy can still be a fixed term agreement, even if rent is paid weekly or monthly.
Once the fixed term ends the agreement becomes periodic if no new fixed agreement is drawn up.
The rules regarding ending a tenancy agreement differ for periodic and fixed tenancies.
What is a periodic agreement?
If no fixed length of time has been agreed on for the tenancy in the rental agreement, the tenancy is periodic. This means it rolls from one week to the next – or one month to the next.
At the end of a fixed tenancy, if no new fixed term has been agreed by the landlord and tenant, the tenancy automatically becomes a periodic tenancy. A periodic agreement is in place if an Assured Shorthold Tenancy has ended and the tenant remains in the property and the landlord continues to accept rental payments.
Do I have to give my tenant a rent book?
Yes, if you collect your rent on a weekly basis, but if your tenant pays monthly then you do not have to provide them with a rent book. However, you should always keep an accurate record of all payments made on a clear and easy to understand rent schedule.
When did tenancy deposit schemes start?
It commenced on the 6th April 2007. All deposit must be registered. The tenant must receive a copy of prescribed information and terms and conditions with proof of where the deposit has been registered.
What is the tenant deposit scheme?
There are two types of scheme: A custodial scheme and two insurance-based schemes.
The landlord, not the tenant, has the option to choose whether to safeguard the deposit in a custodial or insurance-based scheme.
Failure to do so will invalidate any Section 21 Notice served.
Can I enter the property with my own set of keys?
No. A landlord should only enter a tenanted property with prior permission from the current occupants. Some landlords like to keep a key in case the tenant loses their key, or the property is abandoned, but he/she should not use it to enter when tenants are living there. Under certain circumstances, such as an emergency, e.g. fire, flood or if the property is left unlocked, then the landlord is allowed to enter without permission in the interests of protecting their property.
What happens if the tenants decide to leave during the tenancy?
If a tenant leaves the property or posts the keys through the letterbox, this is called 'abandonment' and will not end the tenancy agreement. The agreement will continue even though the tenants have left, and the landlord has the right to continue to charge rent.
A landlord is able to apply for a court order to make the tenants pay what is owed. It should be noted that if the property has since been let out, rent can only be claimed for the period before the new tenant moved in.
The period of time that rent can be charged after a tenant leaves depends on the type of agreement.
In a fixed term agreement, rent can continue to be charged up until the date when the term ends.
What if the tenants are causing damage to the property?
If a tenant causes damage to furniture or the interior of the property then the landlord is able to charge the tenant for any repair work carried out, or replacements bought, through deducting damage costs from the deposit.
If the tenant is not behaving in a 'tenant like manner' and is not abiding by the terms of the tenancy agreement, then the landlord is able to evict them by issuing a Section 21 Notice. If the fixed term of the tenancy has not ended and the landlord feels that the damage to the property is too extensive to wait until the end of the term, then a Section 8 Notice to quit may be issued.
How can I evict my tenant?
Only court appointed bailiffs may carry out a legal eviction.
Section 8/21 Notice, Court Application, Possession Order, Bailiffs Warrant.
Failure to comply with this process may result in an unlimited fine or up to two years in prison.
The landlord may also be liable to pay substantial compensation if the process is not followed.
If possession is sought by the landlord during the fixed term, then it can only be obtained if a breach of contract has been proved and a Section 21 Possession Notice would not be appropriate.
A Section 8 Possession Notice should be used instead.
Section 21 is divided into subsections with different rules applying to (a) notice served during the fixed term of a tenancy and (b) notice for possession that is served during a statutory periodic tenancy.
We would advise that you speak to our eviction team to ensure the process is followed correctly.
Who is responsible for dampness in the property?
Dampness can be the responsibility of either the landlord or tenant, depending on the particular circumstances.
If the property is damp as a result of leaking pipes, a damaged roof or wall, or an existing damp proof course which is no longer effective, then the landlord would be responsible for carrying out the necessary repairs.
However if the dampness has been caused by condensation through not drying clothes properly, or improper use of heating and windows, then the landlord would not normally be responsible for re-decorating as a result of the dampness. In these circumstances the tenant would be required to use the windows and heating systems correctly and re-decorate the areas of the property affected by the dampness.
Evict My Tenant Limited UK Ltd offer various ways to secure a warrant of possession and eviction of tenants. Once a case has been heard in the county court and a possession order granted, most tenants make arrangement to vacate the property.
