Does it seem no amount of brushing and gargling leaves your breath minty fresh? Surprisingly, dental hygiene isn't the only factor influencing a case of halitosis.
Certain foods like garlic and onions don't just hover in your mouth, they actually contain oils that digest into the bloodstream and release through the lungs. Mucus from sinus or upper respiratory infections can have a foul odor that permeates from the back of your throat. Even stomach disorders like acid reflux, lactose intolerance, or yeast overgrowth can cause noxious gases to rise up. And as if you didn't have enough reason to kick the smoking habit, tobacco is a leading cause of periodontal disease and dry mouth, which both dial up oral stench.
Gnaw on a cinnamon stick to deodorize — in addition to antibacterial qualities, it produces a crisp scent, and while recent studies suggest nibbling on parsley does little, the herb has long been touted as an effective folk remedy for curbing dragon breath.
STOP blowing off toothbrushing. More than half of survey respondents reported brushing at least 14 times a week, in line with the recommended two times daily. But almost half of respondents sometimes skipped brushing their teeth. C'mon, folks! It takes only 2 minutes if you do it correctly!
STOP forgetting to floss. Only 53 percent of surveyed people said they flossed at least seven times a week. Thirty percent said they didn't' floss at all. (Dentists recommend flossing once daily). Those who reported that they were good about brushing and flossing were also more likely to describe the appearance and health of their teeth as "very good" (37 percent, compared with 29 percent who didn't floss as consistently). Skipping flossing can lead not only to tooth decay but also to a buildup of plaque, and that plaque can lead to heart disease.
STOP making your sensitive teeth even more sensitive. Acid causes sensitivity, so you can make the problem worse by consuming a lot of acidic substances such as fruit and fruit juices, sports drinks, soda, wine, and vinegar (in salad dressing, for example). Drinking acidic beverages with a straw might help, as can following them with milk, cheese, or water. TIP Calcium-enriched orange juice contains less acid than regular.
STOP brushing so hard. If the bristles on your toothbrush are spread out, you're probably brushing too hard. That's a bad habit that can lead to receding gums and weak enamel. And don't brush right after an acidic meal or drink. That can accelerate damage because the enamel is softer and more vulnerable.
STOP delaying needed treatment. In the survey, 17 percent of those who underwent a dental procedure for health reasons said they delayed getting the treatment. But waiting isn't smart. Of those who waited, only 39 percent were completely satisfied, compared with 59 percent of those who did not wait.
STOP using mouthwash. A plain mouthwash such as Scope is just for masking odors. You're better off using an antimicrobial rinse, such as Listerine; that type of rinse contains essential oil that prevents plaque. Research shows that those rinses help destroy that first layer of biofilm and reduce plaque. And rinses containing fluoride, such as Act, can strengthen and protect your teeth.
STOP giving your dentist the silent treatment. You'll be more satisfied with your experiences at the dentist's office if you ask questions. Very few people in the survey reported problems with their dentists, but those who did had complaints that might have been minimized if they had asked more questions. Some of the problems they had were: The costs of visits or treatments were not fully discussed. For the 1 percent of respondents who said their dentist was not responsive to questions and concerns, we have some advice. Find a new dentist! Go to www.ada.org and use the "Find a Dentist" function. And don't be shy about asking for a price break. In the survey, only 9 percent who had a procedure for health reasons attempted negotiating, but 48 percent of those who tried were successful. At the very least, you might be able to arrange spreading out payments over time.
STOP whitening your teeth if they're sensitive. The peroxide and other bleaching agents in tooth-whitening kits can make tooth sensitivity worse or even cause it. If you must whiten, opt for a custom-fit tray, which left readers more satisfied than in-office whitening.
STOP letting fear keep you the dentist's chair! Yes, many dental procedures come with pain or discomfort. But they're essential to keep your teeth strong and healthy. And it'll hurt less if it doesn't come as a complete surprise. Before you have anything done, ask about what to expect so that you're not caught off guard, and ask what you can do to lessen the pain. In the survey, the most painful procedures people reported were, in order: tooth extraction; root canal; dental implant; treatment of gum (periodontal) disease; dentures (full or partial); crown; emergency treatment; bridge; and cavity filling, replacement, and repair.
STOP grinding your teeth. OK, that's easier said than done, but cutting down on caffeine and alcohol and finding ways to reduce stress can help. If you grind your teeth, don't' cheap out on a mouth guard, which is a proven effective treatment. Ask your dentist about a custom mouth guard and check your insurance to see whether it will cover the cost.
You don't need a fancy toothbrush and a medicine cabinet full of dental products to keep your teeth and gums in good shape. A regular manual brush with soft bristles (which are more flexible and can help clean your teeth better), a fluoride toothpaste, and floss are enough (plus visits to the dentist for cleanings and checkups twice a year). You'll find hundreds of dental products at the drugstore. Many are a waste of money.
Hold the bristles at a 45-degree angle toward your gum line so that one row of bristles can slip slightly under your gums. Move the brush head in a short, vibrating motion on each tooth. Then brush chewing surfaces. (Spend 2 minutes brushing). Also brush your tongue or use a tongue scrapper to remove breath-wrecking bacteria.
Break off about 18 inches of floss (any kind) and wind most of it around a finger, then wind the rest around the same finger on your other hand. Use a careful sawing motion to slide the floss between your teeth down or up to the gum line. Then gently move the thread slightly under your gums. Next, curve it into a "C" shape against the side of one tooth and seep it up and down. Repeat for both sides of each tooth, unwinding clean floss from the first hand.
Tongue Scrapers let you remove food tidbits and bacteria that become trapped in the grooves of your tongue. That stuff can cause bad breath and plaque. You can also brush your tongue for similar results. BreathRx Tongue Scraper, $4.79.
•	A toothbrush sanitizer. They're expensive and unnecessary. Just rinse your toothbrush after your use it and let it air-dry. Replace it every three months or when the bristles start to fray.
•	Tooth-whitening Gum. There's no evidence proving that chewing any kind of gum will whiten your teeth. But chewing sugarless gum instead of the sugary kind can help reduce tooth decay and cavities.
•	A one-size-fits-all night guard. A night guard is a good idea if you grind your teeth in your sleep, but a generic device can cause more problems than it solves. If you grind your teeth, see a dentist about getting a custom-fit night guard. Just be warned: A custom guard can cost $1,000 or more, and some insurance plans won't pay for it. But the expense is worth it; grinding can cause dental and jaw pain and other problems.
DRINK UP! If you drink bottled water, you might be missing the extra fluoride that often comes in tap water. Some bottles contain fluoride; their labels may or may not say so. Examples include Crystal Springs, Fiji, and Poland Spring. Another solution: Brush and rinse with fluoridated products.

Q: «F(5)» and «int x; F(x)» to call different functions? I'd like to write two distinct functions to handle a constant value and a variable of a given type (viz., int).
Here is the example test case:
int main(void) {
        int x=12;
        F(5); // this should print "constant"
        F(x); // this should print "variable"
}

I thought it would be enough to define:
void F(int v) {  cout << "constant\n"; }
void F(int& v) { cout << "variable\n"; }

This assumes that the compiler will choose int& for variables as "better specialized" and int for constants as the only choice). However, G++ this is the result:
test.cc: In function 'int main()':
test.cc:13: error: call of overloaded 'F(int&)' is ambiguous   // for line: F(x);
test.cc:4: note: candidates are: void F(int)
test.cc:5: note:                 void F(int&)

G++ does choose F(int) for constants but does not know which function to choose for variables.
Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
Background: I am experimenting with prolog-like unification methods in C++. Being able to know the difference between constants and variables would help me choosing desired unification behavior (assignment or comparison) in cases such as functor(x,5) <=> functor(3,5).

A: If what you want is to differentiate between a compile time constant and a non-compile time constant - then you have no chance. That's not possible.
But if you want to differentiate between a non-constant variable and between a constant variable (and everything else included - like literals), then you can overload a function with a const-reference and non-const reference parameter. For this scenario, the C++ Standard introduces extra rules that make this otherwise ambiguous case not ambiguous.
void f(int const&); // #1
void f(int&);       // #2

In this matter, the following decisions are done
int x = 0;
int const y = x;
int const z = 1;

f(1); // #1
f(x); // #2
f(y); // #1
f(z); // #1

Note how it can't differentiate between y and z, even though value of z is a compile time constant (termed integral constant expression, or ICE), while y is not.
What you can do is to only accept compile time values then. Overload the function so that one is a template and the other isn't
template<int N> void f(); // #1
void f(int n);            // #2

It behaves like this then:
int x = 0;
int const y = x;
int const z = 1;

f<1>(); // #1
f(1);   // #2
f<y>(); // error, y not an ICE
f<z>(); // #1
f(x);   // #2

SEOUL -- Unity Technologies, a video game software development company based in San Francisco, will provide technical support and advice for the creation of an expanded metaverse platform under a strategic partnership with a subsidiary of South Korea's top mobile game developer, Netmarble.
The metaverse is a digital world, generated by the convergence of physical reality and virtual spaces where users can have hands-on experiences through avatars. Unity and Netmarble F&C will conduct technical cooperation necessary to implement "Metaverse World," a blockchain-based platform that encompasses games, digital humans, entertainment, content, and commerce.
Netmarble F&C will introduce various projects that apply Unity's engine and technology. "Metaverse World will be a blockchain-based expansive platform that has never been seen before," Netmarble F&C co-CEO Seo Woo-won said in a statement on March 21.
Unity's game engine is used to create virtual reality and augmented reality video games and other simulations. "Implementing a metaverse platform that encompasses games, digital humans and entertainment is a significant experience for Unity as well," Unity Technologies Korea head Kim In-suk was quoted as saying.
Netmarble has made active investments to diversity its business scope into a global metaverse entertainment company through business ties with or the acquisition of other companies. In October 2021, the company signed a partnership with Kakao Entertainment, the entertainment wing of South Korea's web service giant Kakao, to develop digital human technology.
In 2022, Netmarble F&C has acquired ITAM Games, a blockchain-based professional game company, and Bono Technologies, a virtual asset wallet service company. In February, the game developer signed a partnership with Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Netmarble F&C's metaverse visual effects (VFX) laboratory will be completed in the first half of this year. It would be equipped with equipment for a metaverse world and digital human production, such as motion capture, chromakey, and full-body scanning. VFX is a process by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of a live-action shot in filmmaking and video production.

Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was intended to protect the disabled from discrimination in labor markets. We theoretically show that the strength of the policy and its impact on employment might not be monotonic, as firms respond in two ways–changing hiring/firing practices and reducing job creation. By exploiting cross-state variation in pre-ADA legislation, we measure the effects of the law and use the results to compute costs under the ADA. In contrast to a small change in employment, we find 10% decline in employment-to-non-employment transitions after the ADA, suggesting that the ADA imposed significant costs on firms.


No one loves to engage in a moving activity since it requires a lot of work and strength. If you are moving across the country, you might consider hiring movers for a number of reasons that are discussed below.
Professional movers have a lot to offer when transporting things over long distances. These movers can arrange your items properly to avoid destruction. It only takes a very short while for professional movers to pack your items for transportation. Additionally, they can maximize on the packing boxes and cartons to ensure that there is no waste.
These moving companies get a full valuation of your valuable items. It is vital for a moving company to ensure high standards of security when transporting your valuables. The trucks are well designed to prevent damage of goods when the truck hits a pothole. Glasses, plates, and vases can, therefore, be safe while being transported. A moving company will make sure that you have do not lose any items and in case you do, they compensate you.
Professional movers have adequate experience in this industry, therefore can provide safety measures when carrying out their job. Moving large items can be risky since you can be injured. Moving companies have tactics that help them maneuver around thins spaces when moving things like couches. They also have modern equipment that helps them lift very heavy items off the ground onto the truck for loading without using too much of their strength.
At first, you might not consider using a moving company since you might think it is expensive compared to doing it yourself. The amount of money they charge should not worry you since they offer the best option for moving your valuables from place to place. Arranging your items could take forever which is also a cumbersome process; while using your car to transport these items could not be the safest option. Instead, you can hire the services of a moving company and have peace of mind as everything will be handled with care.

Interview with Reverend Malcolm Rogers, Chaplain of St Andrews, Moscow
Interview by John Harrison
When did you arrive?
We came in mid-August. There was a slight visa complication which meant my family arrived here 12 hours before me, but the Russian embassy in London was very helpful and fast, and I was able to catch the red-eyed flight!
How did your appointment as Chaplain in Moscow come about, and how did you react when you heard you had this appointment?
We were here from 1993 to 1995. I was already a vicar then, had met and married Alison. We came here because we were sent by the Church Mission Society to try and build links with the Orthodox Church. So we lived at the Orthodox Theological College in St. Petersburg. We had a room there, and then we were given a second room. It was hard, but we loved it. We felt at the end of two years we would like to go back to the UK and start a family.
I didn't think that we had finished with Russia. This time, when I heard that a job was coming up, I wrote to the diocese and said I'd be interested. To be honest, there can't be that many people who have a knowledge of Russian, links with the Orthodox Church, and a lot of pastoral experience. I have been a Parish vicar for 22 years. So in many ways I ticked all the boxes. I pushed for it on one level, and I was hoping that they would pick up on that. They did, and it feels right.
How different is this from your previous posts?
Well firstly, the setting is very different. I was in Bury St. Edmunds, which is a lovely Suffolk town. We were back there for a week for visa reasons at half term, and when we were walking into the town at about 11 o'clock at night, we noticed how quiet and peaceful it was. I couldn't help thinking: 'what are we doing in Moscow!' In Bury St. Edmunds, I was vicar of a very large town centre civic church, within an Anglican Evangelical tradition. That is the tradition I come from, and I worked in London for ten years before that.
I do love the emphasis on communion at St Andrew's; there is something very special about that. Things that aren't different is that it is also a parish and there are people with the same issues – possibly it is a bit more intense here because there is only one Anglican Church. In the UK if you don't like the vicar, or what's going on in one church, you leave and go to another!
We've got a great building here, but it's in need of major repairs, and we need money. So people, buildings, money – they are the same everywhere!
What does it mean to be the Archbishop of Canterbury's Apokrisarios to the Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia?
One of the big things is that you have to explain to everybody what Apokrisarios means! I think the key thing in times of political and ecclesiastical tensions, is to keep personal relationships strong, and channels of communication open. And I am only just making a start. What has it meant for me so far? Three days after I arrived, I was invited to go to a service with Cardinal Pietro Parolin who is the Vatican Secretary of State who was here for 4 days. Because there weren't enough chairs in the VIP section they got a chair out and put me right in front of the VIPs. The problem was that I didn't know if I was supposed to be standing up or sitting down, kneeling or whatever because I was right at the very front. I received an invitation for the opening of the Orthodox Synod, and because I speak some Russian I decided to go. I was able to understand maybe 30% of it, but it was just good being there.
I haven't yet met the Patriarch. When the Archbishop [of Canterbury] comes on the 20th of November, he wants to represent me to the Patriarch himself. That is when he will formally announce me as his Apokrisarios.
But that must be an awful lot of responsibility – you are the man in the middle between these two churches?
At times I do feel that this is difficult. I think that it is about trying to build up networks of friendships with those people who are significant in growing relationships between the two Churches.
Does the Anglican Church have similarities with the Russian Orthodox Church in terms of the Eucharist? But not as far as transubstantiation?
There are a number of key similarities between our faiths. First of all, the centrality of Jesus Christ in both Churches, and the belief that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. Secondly, in the creed. There was a split in 1054, over whether the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father or from both the Father and the Son. The earlier creed said that the Spirit proceeds from the Father. The Western Church, for good reasons, added 'and the Son'. But the Orthodox Church did not like the fact that this was done without due consultation. However, today there is general agreement that the Western Church should have consulted, but that both statements have theological validity.
I would say that when we are talking about the substance of what we believe there are many similarities. But obviously in practice there are many differences. In terms of the Eucharist and what happens at the Eucharist, well the Anglican Church is the Anglican Church – you will get many different views, and certainly some of those views will coincide with what the Orthodox Church teaches. The Eucharist is one of those issues where you can have meaningful conversations.
The difficulty is that the Orthodox Church see us as a Schismatic Church, first of all because of the schism of 1054, and then because they feel we have separated from the Roman Catholic Church. So they will question whether our bishops are in the line of Apostolic succession. Secondly, on many moral issues, they feel that the West has become decadent, and, for example, that it has got the issue of gender completely wrong. They cannot accept women priests, let alone bishops. The fact that the Anglican church is even talking about blessing same sex relationships divides us; obviously that for them is anathema. Our Archbishop, two days after he became Archbishop, received a letter from the Orthodox Church warmly welcoming him, but saying that we are writing to inform you that you are anathema. So there are these big issues.
And what are your own views on these issues if you don't mind sharing them?
My understanding of the Eucharist is constantly changing, I am getting a deeper and deeper appreciation. It is very special: this idea that you can invite God to come and live in you. In terms of the moral issues, I am more conservative. I think we have been very prejudiced against people who are gay in the West and I am glad to see that this has become an open issue. But when it comes to marriage I believe that is between man and woman. I believe that the bible teaches that the place for sexual intimacy is between man and woman. In the end, as a Christian, I have to accept the scriptures as the authority for my behaviour and teaching.
In Moscow, do you think that there is room for evangelicalism?
It depends what you mean by evangelicalism. In the Anglican Church you have three sources of authority, the bible, tradition and you have the Church. Putting it very simply, evangelicals are guided by scripture, liberals are guided by reason, Anglo-Catholics tend to be guided by tradition. I would say that you can bind the three together but for me, scripture is my final authority. But I can't understand scripture without tradition. And I need reason to help me understand tradition, and scripture is necessary so that I can interpret reason. So you can be evangelical and still be quite traditional.
Alongside of that there is the whole notion of evangelicalism which is going out and preaching to people. And actually, the Orthodox Church does that. They encourage people to come to Church, to put their faith in Christ, to be baptised. And when people are baptised they want to keep them growing in the faith. In the same way, that's what I want to do. But, and this is very important, my target audience is different from the Orthodox Church here in Russia. I am not reaching out to Russians. If Russians come, that's lovely, they are very welcome. But my target is the international English-speaking community. My target is you.
Are you also the Ambassador's Chaplain? What does that mean for you, and for him?
Yes I am. He was brilliant when I arrived, and invited some of the other senior religious leaders for a welcome dinner. It also means for example that we have Remembrance Sunday and other services. And the embassy has been immensely helpful with the Archbishop's visit. I would have struggled to do that without them. But my main role is as chaplain of St Andrews. So I think it is more that we work in cooperation. Although the Church of England is still the official state church, in practice now there is a separation, and the Ambassador wants Russians to understand that separation between Church and State. The Queen is head of both but they are two very different strands.
How can people who are not involved with the Church in Moscow find out more?
We have updated our website. It's www.moscowanglican.org We are trying to make it accessible. You can go there and immediately you can see when our services are on.
So anybody can come along?
Anybody can come. On Sundays, we have a 1662 book of common prayer service at 8:30 am, and we can get up to about 10 people, and it can be special. Our main service attracts about 70 people and is at 11 am on Sundays, and there is the Wednesday evening service at 7 pm.
Is your family with you? What do they think of Moscow?
Yes, my wife Alison is here. We have three boys: Peter John and Andrew. Peter has become a journalist in London, he graduated from York University last year. John is at Birmingham University, and Andrew has just started his 6th form here at the Anglo American, where he is following the International Baccalaureate curriculum. He is finding that challenging but he loves Moscow.
How many years do you think you will be here?
It's a 5 year post.

British, I have lived in Russia since before the end of the beginning of the end. A very long time. Between being an artist and an actor I have been Editor-in-Chief of various rags in Russia: Commercial Real Estate (CRE); Commercial Real Estate China; PASSPORT magazine Russia, and Moscow expat Life. I co-hosted 'ELE' for three years (www.elemoscow.net) and will know who am going to be when I grow up. If you have any questions regarding this online magazine, such as you wnat to write something (please) please write: harrisonj@outlook.com

Great interview, John, and I was interested in the subject of marriage and old fashioned values versus modern day thinking. Even more so as the Archbishop's key aid (a lady) has just rather publically quit citing this as a reason!

Kratom is an indigenous herb belonging to the tropical countries of South-East Asia. The herb was widely used by the people of Thailand where it pledges its origin. The herb belongs to the largest group of angiosperms; Rubiaceau. The Medicinal and Psycho-active properties of Kratom is widely well known by many people. The American and European countries have started to consume Kratom largely lately. Though there are many functioning benefits are proven; FDA has been trying to put the substance in the controlled substances list. They have even spoken in a manner disproving Kratom Use. They don't recommend the use of Kratom a replacement for pharmaceutical drugs and medicines.
Kratom has been banned by the Kratom Act 2486, 1943 by the government of Thailand. The substance was banned as an effect of dropping opium trade. Kratom had opium withdrawal symptoms as it's acted on µ receptors same as Opium. The substance was also a cheaper replacement as there were heavy taxes implemented on opium. The substance is even banned in a few provinces in America such as Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Strict law is in practice in tropical countries totally.
Kratom had proved medicinal benefits when consumed in prescribed dosages. Many doctors have suited towards natural means of Medication rather than consuming synthetic pharmaceutical medications. With the benefits on the surge, Thailand legalized the use of Kratom for medicinal purposes by the December 2018. The Legalization has helped a step further in the tropical countries towards the support of Kratom and natural medication. Malaysia is also on the verge of decision making on the legalization of Kratom. With the bulk needs of Kratom in the USA it can turn to be a financially good decision.
Kratom has become a widely used substance regular substances by many people. Tropical countries like Indonesia, Myanmar, Papua new-guinea, Malaysia widely grow to cultivate and harvest Kratom. Indonesia is one of the largest exporters of Kratom in the world. Bulk needs of the united states are met by Indonesia. The economic conditions have been altered by the growing Kratom Trade. The herb is a staple in the tropical Region. The traditional people have used it as an energizing and healing substance. The herb helped them concentrate and focus on their work. The herb has raised the standards of living of the people belonging to the islands of Borneo; 3rd largest island in the world. Kratom is cultivated in Bulk proportions and then curated if necessary and sold. Bulk amounts of various Kratom strains can be found in theKratomcapsules.com.
Though Kratom has been recognized by millions of American citizens; the FDA is still keen on its prey. The Growing business of Kratom has brought a surge for its complete legalization now even. The future of the Kratom can even become a corporate traded substance. Firms are into producing Cosmetics and medications which expands the markets of the herb. The US has been leaving a loose hand on the marijuana case. The herb can be expected to be legal for all means in the American soil. But there are people inside the entity they have to deal with first in prior to legalization.
Kratom is a natural plant. A natural compound cannot be banned. It is a gift from nature. We have been living together for a long time now. The substance can be seen to treat a variety of ailments and disorders. The substance is even voiced by eminent scientist and doctors to be consumed as a medicine. The government can restrict people of their nature's right. People don't want the plant to be banned. In fact, plenty of petitions reached the white house when the government was on the verge of banning the substance nationwide. This marks a positive point on the substance by the citizens of the United States of America.

Q: python 3 using for loops and typecasting How can I get 2nd for loop the full aws ec2 instance id? It converts it to string it seems.
I am using Python 3.9.
1st loop gives output as expected:
i-0dccf1ede229ce1
i-0285506fee62051

2nd loop gives
i
-
0
d
c
...

INSTANCE_ID = ['i-0dccf1ede229ce1','i-0285506fee62051']
for i in INSTANCE_ID:
  print (i)

vs.
for i in INSTANCE_ID:
  for j in i:
    print (j)

Actual boto3 script is as below
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import boto3

AWS_REGION = "us-east-1"
AWS_PROFILE = "xxxx"
session=boto3.session.Session(profile_name=AWS_PROFILE)
EC2_RESOURCE = session.resource('ec2', region_name=AWS_REGION)
INSTANCE_ID = ['i-0dccf1ede229ce1','i-0285506fee62051']

TAGS = [
    {
        'Key': 'STATE',
        'Value': 'LIVE'
    }
]

for instance_id in INSTANCE_ID:
    for ec2_id in     instance_id:
      print (ec2_id) ## here is the issue

      filter = EC2_RESOURCE.instances.filter(InstanceIds={ec2_id})
      filter.create_tags(Tags=TAGS)

A: Thank you all. Still its not clear why 2nd loop what it does.
So i modified the code with 1 loop & indeed worked
@silvio & everyone thanks
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import boto3
AWS_REGION = "us-east-1"
AWS_PROFILE = "xxx"
session=boto3.session.Session(profile_name=AWS_PROFILE)

INSTANCE_ID = ['i-0dccf1ede229ce1','i-0285506fee62051']
TAGS = [
    {
        'Key': 'STATE',
        'Value': 'LIVE'
    }
]

for instance_id in INSTANCE_ID:
  print ( instance_id )
  instances  = EC2_RESOURCE.instances.filter(InstanceIds=[instance_id])
  instances.create_tags(Tags=TAGS)


Warhammer 40k Forum Tau Online » Warhammer 40K Armies » Craftworld Eldar » hit and run?
so my friends and play 40k a lot and one of my friends is eldar. now we dont have a rule book, only one of us does to save the cost of money.he wasnt at the last battle and my elday buddy just found out how "good" ( ) hit and run is. apparently his swooping hawks can come out of nowhere, drop grenades, and go back into the warp. i wuestioned it, but he gets mad when we ask him things. is this possible? ???
Not quite. You are mixing up Skyleap (an Exarch power) with Hit and Run (a Universal Special Rule). Skyleap effectively does what you are describing, but its rules are listed in Codex: Eldar and not in the main rulebook. Hit and Run is completely unrelated and cannot, in fact, be taken by Swooping Hawks if my memory serves me correctly.
sorry, ignore that last bit then, but the initiatve test was right i hope.
i think skyleap replaces the hit and run rule if you take it.
The Man They Call Jayne; you are completely incorrect. Skyleap is in no way a replacement for Hit and Run and requires no Initiative test.
Skyleap is only for swooping hawks and hit and run is only for shining spears. The shining spears hit and run rule is a purchasable upgrade and so is skyleap. You must have the exarch if you want to use it though.
Swooping hawks don't even get hit and run as has been said.
Swooping Hawks do get Hit and Run, only if they are accompanied by Baharroth IIRC.
I'm pretty sure that they have to stay on the board for the rest of the turn before they can Re-Skyleap back into the air, which is done in the Eldar players next movement phase.
Even with that being the case, Hit and Run (as described on page 75 of the rulebook) is NOT the ability that allows you to leave the board (which is Skyleap).
Hit and Run is what you are describing. Shining Spears and Warp Spiders with exarchs have it. However if he uses Baharroth, the Phoenix Lord, his hawks can have it too. Swooping Hawks bouncing off the table every movement phase is unique to them, and yes, it can cause them to be completely unkillable. The disadvantage of an Eldar player using it is that since they disappear on the move phase, they are never getting any shots off except the gredade pack when they come in, which is not very effective in my experience. Also the scatter while deep striking back in is unpredictable to risk doing every turn.
They do not need to check initiative to skyleap, they just leave. They do have to roll to come back from reserves, which is another reason I don't approve of this tactic. I only use skyleap to get them out of serious trouble like if they get locked in an assault. He could (if he really wanted to) potentially bounce them off the table every turn during his movement, land them at the beginning of his next turn reserve roll, and bounce them off again in his movement, leaving you no targets at all, but he would reduce his expensive Hawks to being nothing but a very small nuisance with their grenade pack attack when they come in, and never taking advantage of using their haywire grenades or lasblasters.
This game is about killing stuff, then they kill stuff back and you kill the stuff that killed you back, etc. You won't win dodging about out of harm's way. Sure they'll be safe, but that many points are wasted on a unit that is ultimately doing very little, leaving an outnumbered army behind while they play yoyo. If they aren't killing stuff, why am I paying them for all those points, y'know?
Skyleap is very effective in endgame if you go second though, because by leaving before your last turn, you can come back in and the badguys don't have a chance to shoot back, so you can use them to contest an objective.

Un déménagement à vélo est une alternative non motorisée au déménagement traditionnellement effectué en camion. Bien que banale dans certains pays asiatiques comme la Chine, cette pratique est très peu courante dans le reste du monde. Pratiquement inexistante depuis la motorisation des transports, elle gagne pourtant en popularité depuis le début du .

Histoire

Déménagements individuels et collectifs
Beth Hamon a effectué son propre déménagement à vélo en 1997. Les premiers déménagements à vélo mentionnés sur Internet sont aussi des déménagements individuels, l'un à Ottawa et l'autre à Chicago, tous deux en 2002. Peu de temps après, en 2003, les déménagements collectifs à vélo ont vu le jour à Portland, qui est une des villes les plus cyclables des États-Unis. C'est à partir de ce moment que les déménagements à vélo ont peu à peu gagné en popularité dans ce pays. Un reportage de CNN montre notamment un déménagement effectué par un record de 70 cyclistes en 2013 à Portland.

Avantages et inconvénients

Avantages
Les principaux avantages du déménagement à vélo sont qu'il s'agit d'une alternative plus écologique et plus économique à l'utilisation d'un camion. En effet, les ressources matérielles et énergétiques nécessaires sont minimes, et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre sont nulles. En outre, il s'agit d'une option silencieuse, inodore et moins encombrante qu'un camion, ce qui est appréciable en milieu urbain. Un autre avantage du déménagement à vélo est qu'il favorise les contacts humains, étant donné que ce mode de transport pique inévitablement la curiosité des passants.

Inconvénients
Le principal inconvénient d'un déménagement à vélo est le volume limité pouvant être transporté dans un voyage. Plusieurs allers-retours sont donc nécessaires pour tout transporter. Plus la distance est grande, et plus le temps requis est élevé. Ainsi, à moins de disposer d'un groupe de cyclistes ou de plusieurs jours, un déménagement à vélo est habituellement limité à quelques kilomètres (rarement plus d'une dizaine). Un autre inconvénient est sa vulnérabilité aux intempéries, telles que la pluie ou la neige. Le relief est aussi déterminant : une côte importante sur le parcours, qu'elle soit en montée ou en descente, peut compromettre la faisabitité d'un déménagement à vélo. Lorsque le relief est plat, toutefois, tirer une remorque chargée n'est pas aussi difficile qu'on pourrait l'imaginer : une fois les premiers coups de pédales donnés, l'inertie fait une grande partie du travail.

Équipement utilisé

Tout vélo muni d'un accessoire de transport peut être utilisé pour contribuer à un déménagement à vélo. Lors de déménagements collectifs, les participants utilisent notamment des caisses à lait et des sacoches fixées aux porte-bagages et des paniers fixés au guidon. À défaut d'accessoires appropriés, il est aussi possible d'utiliser un sac à dos.

Pour une plus grande capacité de charge, les déménageurs à vélo plus expérimentés utilisent un vélo cargo ou un vélo muni d'une remorque. Une panoplie de modèles de remorques est disponible sur le marché, par exemple celles des manufacturiers B.O.B. Gear, Burley et Surly.

Les déménageurs à vélo professionnels optent pour des remorques spécifiquement conçues à cet effet, telles que le modèle 64AWD de  et le  de Toutenvélo. Ces deux modèles sont des plateformes d'environ  par , ont un essieu à doubles roues et une capacité de charge d'environ . Des modèles d'environ  de longueur sont aussi disponibles. Le vélo préconisé pour tirer ces remorques est le plus souvent un vélo de montagne muni de freins à disques hydrauliques et de pneus lisses.

Il importe aussi d'avoir à disposition des accessoires pour fixer solidement les éléments, comme des élastiques, des sangles d'arrimage et des bâches, ainsi que les accessoires habituels de déménagement tels que des sangles de transport pour les appareils électroménagers et les gros meubles, des couvertures de déménagement et du ruban adhésif.

Q: How can I use the UIPinchGestureRecognizer with the entire view to zoom the entire screen? Swift 3, IOS I can't seem to connect my action (pinch gesture) to my view, instead it connects to the viewcontroller. This is everything i have coded in the view controller to test out the code:
import UIKit

class AlertController: UIAlertController {

@IBAction func scaleImage(sender: UIPinchGestureRecognizer) {

All i want to do is zoom into the form i fill out in my app (text boxes - buttons and labels, checkboxes - buttons and labels, background image - image view). I want to be able to zoom into everything at once. Im failing miserably. Please help! :)

A: first make recognizer:
let pinchGestureRecognizer = UIPinchGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(pinchHandler))

then create handler function:
func pinchHandler(recognizer : UIPinchGestureRecognizer) {

    print ("PINCHING NOW")

    if let view = self.view {
        view.transform = view.transform.scaledBy(x: recognizer.scale, y: recognizer.scale)
        recognizer.scale = 1
    }
}

inside viewDidLoad add recognizer:
pinchGestureRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(pinchHandler))
view.addGestureRecognizer(pinchGestureRecognizer)


This statistic shows a survey on the share of boys playing video games in Norway in 2015, by age group and platform. During the survey period, 66 percent of the Norwegian boys aged 9-11 years stated to use their mobile/smartphone to play video games.
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "På hvilket utstyr spiller du spill?"


The local post office in Freshwater is shut for refurbishment until Thursday 19 November, which will affect when I am able to get to the post office to send out orders to customers.
Fortunately, the post office in Totland Bay has been revived after a period of closure, and is now based in The Broadway Inn – a pub run by the former postmaster. The hours are somewhat quaint for a post office, from 11am till 3pm, but conveniently correspond to the pub's lunchtime opening hours (look, it's a pub in a quiet part of West Wight, and it doesn't keep town hours).
In the interests of customer service I will therefore be using The Broadway Inn while my usual post office is shut. I will, of course, not be driving there, and my return after taking customers' parcels may be delayed.


The purpose of this essay is to trace the development of the concept of mysticism from selected early works of John Steinbeck to its culmination in the novel the Grapes of Wrath. The works to be discussed are the following: The Features of Heaven, To a God Unknown, In Dubious Battle, Of Mice and Men, The Red Pony, The Grapes of Wrath, and Sea of Cortez. Such a study requires, a basic, historical knowledge in two other areas. The first involves a familiarity with Oriental specifically Hindu, mystical beliefs; the second, the early backgrounds of mysticism in American literature as expressed in the transcendentalist movement. Finally, since it is generally agreed that application in a classroom situation lends a practical value to a work of this sort, the material gathered will be used in the teaching of the novel the Grapes of Wrath to two sections of freshman English, and the results of this endeavor will constitute the final goal of this project.

Q: How to autosize and right-align GridViewColumn data in WPF? How can I:

*

*right-align the text in the ID column

*make each of the columns auto size according to the text length of the cell with the longest visible data?

Here is the code:
<ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="ID" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}" Width="40"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="100" />
            <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

partial answer:
Thanks Kjetil, the GridViewColumn.CellTemplate works well and the Auto Width works of course but when the ObservativeCollection "Collection" is updated with longer-than-column-width data, the column sizes do not update themselves so that is only a solution for the initial display of data:
<ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="ID" Width="Auto">
                <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" TextAlignment="Right" Width="40"/>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            </GridViewColumn>
            <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="Auto" />
            <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Width="Auto"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

A: Since I had an ItemContainerStyle I had to put the HorizontalContentAlignment in the ItemContainerStyle
    <ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=FieldDef.DispDetail, Mode=OneWay}" Value="False">
                         <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
                    </DataTrigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
                <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
    ....

A: I liked user1333423's solution except that it always re-sized every column; i needed to allow some columns to be fixed width. So in this version columns with a width set to "Auto" will be auto-sized and those set to a fixed amount will not be auto-sized.
public class AutoSizedGridView : GridView
{
    HashSet<int> _autoWidthColumns;

    protected override void PrepareItem(ListViewItem item)
    {
        if (_autoWidthColumns == null)
        {
            _autoWidthColumns = new HashSet<int>();

            foreach (var column in Columns)
            {
                if(double.IsNaN(column.Width))
                    _autoWidthColumns.Add(column.GetHashCode());
            }
        }

        foreach (GridViewColumn column in Columns)
        {
            if (_autoWidthColumns.Contains(column.GetHashCode()))
            {
                if (double.IsNaN(column.Width))
                    column.Width = column.ActualWidth;

                column.Width = double.NaN;
            }
        }

        base.PrepareItem(item);
    }
}

A: If the width of the contents changes, you'll have to use this bit of code to update each column:
private void ResizeGridViewColumn(GridViewColumn column)
{
    if (double.IsNaN(column.Width))
    {
        column.Width = column.ActualWidth;
    }

    column.Width = double.NaN;
}

You'd have to fire it each time the data for that column updates.

A: I know that this is too late but here is my approach:
<GridViewColumn x:Name="GridHeaderLocalSize"  Width="100">
<GridViewColumn.Header>
    <GridViewColumnHeader HorizontalContentAlignment="Right">
        <Grid Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="100"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Local size" TextAlignment="Right" Padding="0,0,5,0"/>
        </Grid>
    </GridViewColumnHeader>
</GridViewColumn.Header>
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <TextBlock Width="{Binding ElementName=GridHeaderLocalSize, Path=Width, FallbackValue=100}"  HorizontalAlignment="Right" TextAlignment="Right" Padding="0,0,5,0" Text="Text" >
        </TextBlock>
    </DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

The main idea is to bind the width of the cellTemplete element to the width of the ViewGridColumn. Width=100 is default width used until first resize. There isn't any code behind. Everything is in xaml.

A: If your listview is also re-sizing then you can use a behavior pattern to re-size the columns to fit the full ListView width. Almost the same as you using grid.column definitions
<ListView HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
          Behaviours:GridViewColumnResize.Enabled="True">
        <ListViewItem></ListViewItem>
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn  Header="Column *"
                                   Behaviours:GridViewColumnResize.Width="*" >
                    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Text="Example1" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

See the following link for some examples and link to source code
http://lazycowprojects.tumblr.com/post/7063214400/wpf-c-listview-column-width-auto

A: I have created the following class and used across the application wherever required in place of GridView:
/// <summary>
/// Represents a view mode that displays data items in columns for a System.Windows.Controls.ListView control with auto sized columns based on the column content
/// </summary>
public class AutoSizedGridView : GridView
{
    protected override void PrepareItem(ListViewItem item)
    {
        foreach (GridViewColumn column in Columns)
        {
            // Setting NaN for the column width automatically determines the required
            // width enough to hold the content completely.

            // If the width is NaN, first set it to ActualWidth temporarily.
            if (double.IsNaN(column.Width))
              column.Width = column.ActualWidth;

            // Finally, set the column with to NaN. This raises the property change
            // event and re computes the width.
            column.Width = double.NaN;
        }
        base.PrepareItem(item);
    }
}

A: To make each of the columns autosize you can set Width="Auto" on the GridViewColumn.
To right-align the text in the ID column you can create a cell template using a TextBlock and set the TextAlignment. Then set the ListViewItem.HorizontalContentAlignment (using a style with a setter on the ListViewItem) to make the cell template fill the entire GridViewCell.
Maybe there is a simpler solution, but this should work.
Note: the solution requires both HorizontalContentAlignment=Stretch in Window.Resources and TextAlignment=Right in the CellTemplate.
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication6.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
    </Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
    <ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn Header="ID" Width="40">
                    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Id}" TextAlignment="Right" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn>
                <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="Auto" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Width="Auto"/>
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>
</Grid>
</Window>

A: I had trouble with the accepted answer (because I missed the HorizontalAlignment=Stretch portion and have adjusted the original answer).
This is another technique.  It uses a Grid with a SharedSizeGroup.
Note: the Grid.IsSharedScope=true on the ListView.
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication6.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
    <ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn Header="ID" Width="40">
                    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                             <Grid>
                                  <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                       <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="IdColumn"/>
                                  </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                  <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Right" Text={Binding Path=Id}"/>
                             </Grid>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn>
                <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="Auto" />
                <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Width="Auto"/>
            </GridView>
        </ListView.View>
    </ListView>
</Grid>
</Window>

A: I created a function for updating GridView column headers for a list and call it whenever the window is re-sized or the listview updates it's layout.
public void correctColumnWidths()
{
    double remainingSpace = myList.ActualWidth;

    if (remainingSpace > 0)
    {
         for (int i = 0; i < (myList.View as GridView).Columns.Count; i++)
              if (i != 2)
                   remainingSpace -= (myList.View as GridView).Columns[i].ActualWidth;

          //Leave 15 px free for scrollbar
          remainingSpace -= 15;

          (myList.View as GridView).Columns[2].Width = remainingSpace;
    }
}

A:
The solution given above by @RandomEngy works but seems it has an issue of,
to only resize based on visible data (so, the first X rows), not necessarily the longest(widest row) value for each column.

To fix the above issue following can be done.
Attach the collection changed even of your list view like below,
((INotifyCollectionChanged) MyListView.ItemsSource).CollectionChanged += CollectionChanged_Handler;

also declare a private maxWidth property to store the longest content your view has encountered.
private double maxWidth = 200;//Whatever your default width is.

Now the handler is as below,
private void CollectionChanged_Handler(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs args)
{
   var gridView = (GridView)MyListView.View;
   if(gridView != null)
   {
      foreach( var column in gridView.Columns)
      {
         if(column.ActualWidth > maxWidth)
         {
            if (double.IsNaN(column.Width))
            {
                   maxWidth = column.ActualWidth;
                   column.Width = maxWidth ;
            }
            column.Width = double.NaN;
         }
       }
}

Also there can be chances that once you launch the dialog already the widow is populated with multiple rows and the top rows are not the longest. The above code will be triggered only when the collection changes but since the data is already loaded and the visible rows on loading the dialog were not the widest ones the above code will not be able to resize the column. In order to fix this issue call the above handler on the ListView_OnPreviewMouseLeftButton event. like below,
private void MyListView_OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
CollectionChanged_Handler(sender, null);
}

The above code will refresh your column width once someone scrolls to the widest row  content of the view.

A: This is your code
<ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="ID" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}" Width="40"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="First Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="100" />
            <GridViewColumn Header="Last Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

Try this
<ListView Name="lstCustomers" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Collection}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}" Width="Auto">
               <GridViewColumnHeader Content="ID" Width="Auto" />
            </GridViewColumn>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Width="Auto">
              <GridViewColumnHeader Content="First Name" Width="Auto" />
            </GridViewColumn>
            <GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}" Width="Auto">
              <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Last Name" Width="Auto" />
            </GridViewColumn
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

A: Well, I just came to this problem and I solved it with a IValueConverter.
public class GridViewColumHeaderWidthConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return (double)value / 8;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Notice: That 8 is the number of GridViewColumns
Now in the Xaml:
<ListView x:Name="TheListView" ItemsSource="{Binding Customers}">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <!--  Id  -->
            <GridViewColumn Width="{Binding ElementName=TheListView, Path=ActualWidth, Converter={StaticResource GridViewColumHeaderWidthConverter}}">
                <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Id" />
                <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding CustomerId}" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            </GridViewColumn>
            <!--  Code  -->
            <GridViewColumn Width="{Binding ElementName=TheListView, Path=ActualWidth, Converter={StaticResource GridViewColumHeaderWidthConverter}}">
                <GridViewColumnHeader Content="Code" />
                <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding CustomerCode}" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
            </GridViewColumn>

Don't forget to include the converter file. In this case, I have defined the converter in App.xaml
<Application.Resources>
    <converters:GridViewColumHeaderWidthConverter x:Key="GridViewColumHeaderWidthConverter" />
</Application.Resources>

A: Auto sizing a column to the longest text can be archived by disabling virtualisation and setting Width="Auto" on the GridViewColumn.
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding ...}" VirtualizingStackPanel.IsVirtualizing="False">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Width="Auto"
                            DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
                            Header="Name"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

Virtualization is enabled by default and means that only visible rows are rendered. This is good for performance. The downside is that only the currently visible rows are used to calculate the column width (Width="Auto"). Disabling Virtualization means that all rows are rendered even if a row is not visible at the moment. The result is that Auto width calculation considers the values of all rows.

Q: how to transform marginal data (reporting line data) using R I have the following data:

Name
Line Manager

A1
B1

A2
B1

A3
B2

B1
C1

B2
C1

A4
C1

I want to transform the data to the following 2 ways. After the transformation, I could find all the members within one line manager including the members not directly reporting to him/her. Note that there may be more than 3 hierarchies in the actual case.
I guess it may related to the network analysis but not quite sure. Using the data manipulation of package dplyr is one way. However, I just wonder is there an easy way to do that by a build-in function in some R package?
(1)

Name
Line Manager

A1
B1

A2
B1

A3
B2

A1
C1

A2
C1

A3

LM_Level2

A1
B1
C1

A2
B1
C1

A3
B2
C1

A4
C1

B1

B2
C1

A: Setting up the data:
dat <- tibble::tribble(~Name ,   ~Line.Manager,
"A1" , "B1",
"A2" , "B1",
"A3" , "B2",
"A1" , "C1",
"A2" , "C1",
"A3" , "C1",
"A4" , "C1",
"B1" , "C1",
"B2" , "C1")

# Reshaping to wide
dat <- tidyr::pivot_wider(dat, names_from = Line.Manager, values_from = Line.Manager)
# Moving values to the left - stolen from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26651706/5221626
dat[] <- t(apply(dat, 1, function(x) c(x[!is.na(x)], x[is.na(x)])))
# Removing empty columns
dat <- janitor::remove_empty(dat, "cols")
# Renaming column names.
names(dat)[2:ncol(dat)] <- paste0("LM_Level", seq_len(ncol(dat) - 1))
dat

# A tibble: 6 x 3
  Name  LM_Level1 LM_Level2
  <chr> <chr>     <chr>
1 A1    B1        C1
2 A2    B1        C1
3 A3    B2        C1
4 A4    C1        NA
5 B1    C1        NA
6 B2    C1        NA

I'm finding the 2nd step a little bit awkward, but I can't think of a better way.

A: For (2) (labeled step_1 here), you can join df with itself; connect the join with line_manager and name.
For (1) (labeled step_2), just group by name and pivot longer.
Output (2):
library(tidyverse)

step_1 <-
  df %>%
    left_join(df, by = c("line_manager" = "name"), suffix = c("", "_lvl2")) %>%
    replace_na(list(line_manager_lvl2 = ""))

  name line_manager line_manager_lvl2
1   A1           B1                C1
2   A2           B1                C1
3   A3           B2                C1
4   B1           C1
5   B2           C1
6   A4           C1

Output (1):

Note: I know it's a little odd calling OP's (2), step_1, and (1) as step_2, but the step_ indexes are more like the logical order of operations in this transformation.


SPC Faculty and students spent this past Saturday in Clearwater cleaning up the city's horse trails. Always ready to get their hands dirty, this is one of many service projects SPC has given its time and effort to this fall and is a great example of the cross pollination of SPC academic communities.
Participants included Dr. Erin Georgin's Tri-Beta Club, Dr. Eric Tucker's Ethics class, Dr. Kelli Strickrath's Environmental Club and Faculty Government Organization President Dr. Shannon Ulrich.
I would like to say thank you for sharing such an awesome experience, it really means a lot to know that there are people so caring and helpful in our community. great job guys keep up the good work!

Флавій Євсебій (*Flavius Eusebius, д/н — після 371) — державний діяч пізньої Римської імперії.

Життєпис
Син Флавія Євсебія, консула 347 року. Народився у Фессалоніках. Здобув ґрунтовну освіту, відзначався своїм красномовством. Своїй кар'єрі завдячує шлюбу сестри Євсебії з імператором Констанцієм II.

355 року призначається консуляром (намісником) провінції Геллеспонт. 356 року стає консуляром провінція Віфінія. 359 року разом з братом Гіпатієм отримав консульство. Також отримав ранг патрикія.

360 року отримав призначення в Антіохію. Того ж року помирає сестра, внаслідок чого вплив Флавія Євсебія при дворі значно зменшився. Після смерті 363 року Констанція II про діяльність Євсебія нічого невідомо.

371 року Геліодор, фаворит імператора Валента, звинуватив Євсебія та його брата у змові проти імператора. Проте не виявлено доказів, але братів було відправлено у заслання. Лише після смерті Геліодара обидва повернулися до Константинополя. Подальша доля невідома.

What are "Inner Pipeline Seminars"?
Each quarter, Pipeline offers a number of Inner Pipeline seminars that focus on a variety of education-related topics. Requirements include participating in a weekly Pipeline seminar and tutoring for at least 2.5 hours a week in the Seattle Public Schools or community organization. Seminar topics range from exploring the current K-12 world of education to arts in the schools, science, math, literacy in the justice system, and more. Click on the left sidebar to see quarterly seminar offerings.
How many credits can I receive for an Inner Pipeline Seminar?
*A student may opt to register for 1 or 2 credits if it means avoiding an additional registration fee.
*If a student would like to register for more than 6 credits, they should email pipeline@uw.edu with the request.
If you need to make up tutoring hours for a circumstance out of your control (school closure, holiday) you can complete an online assignment. Each assignment is worth two tutoring hours.
After attending an orientation, students will be able to browse for volunteer sites on Expo. Students should then contact the volunteer coordinator of the site as soon as possible. It usually takes the contact person anywhere from a couple days to one week to respond and place you in a classroom.
What is expected of Pipeline tutors?
Tutors are expected to commit at least 2 – 3 hours a week at the school sites they signed up for. The Pipeline project provides tutors an opportunity to gain professional development, experience and participate in career exploration, therefore tutors should maintain a high level of professionalism when interacting with students and other staff members.
What kind of training do Pipeline tutors receive?
All Pipeline tutors attend a 1.5 hour orientation that covers topics including the role of tutors, tutoring tips and strategies, cultural competency, safety and liability issues, and how to get started tutoring. Students can also choose to take weekly seminar times where they debrief their tutoring experiences and discuss pertinent education issues.
How do I sign up for an Inner Pipeline seminar?
You can sign up for a Pipeline seminar via MyUW. Our quarterly seminar offerings are listed on the left sidebar . Once you have enrolled in a seminar via MyUW, please follow the steps outlined on our Inner Pipeline page to sign up for an orientation and get started.
My Inner Pipeline seminar needs an add code. Where can I find this?
Please note that some seminars may require add codes. If an add code is necessary, contact the Pipeline Project to request one. Remember to include which seminar you would like to register for.
Do I have to attend an orientation for my Inner Pipeline seminar?
All Inner Pipeline tutors will complete a mandatory Pipeline orientation on the first day of class, except for those students enrolled in the following seminars: Higher Education Tutoring and Mentorship and Literacy in the Criminal Justice System. If you will miss the first day of class, you need to sign up for an alternate orientation time. All students in EDUC 401 Inner Pipeline classes need to complete orientation by the end of the second week of the quarter, or they risk not receiving credit at the end of the quarter.
What if I have already attended a Pipeline Orientation?
If you have attended an orientation in the last two years, you should still plan to attend the first day of your Inner Pipeline seminar. You may be allowed to leave early after announcements pertaining specifically to the class.
When is the last day I can enroll in an Inner Pipeline seminar?
We cannot enroll students in Inner Pipeline seminars after the second class session has met. Requests to enroll after the first class session are considered on a case-by-case basis.
