Making the law accessible with a user-first design approach
A client from the legal industry had embarked on a transformation journey.
It wanted to shed its image of being imposing and complex.
A key obstacle was its three websites that presented a fragmented and frustrating experience for users.
PebbleRoad designed a unified website that presented relevant information and spoke the language of users, making the law more accessible, more empathetic and less intimidating.
Recently, a client from the legal industry embarked on a transformation journey in anticipation of disruption from globalisation and rapid technological advances.
They also wanted to shed the image of being an imposing and complex entity while at the same time encouraging access to justice for the layperson.
The client had three entities (with distinct websites) that served an overlapping audience. This created a fragmented user experience as some users had to visit more than one of the websites to obtain information, perform transactions or inquire about services. However, the content was not easily understandable, leading to frustration among users.
Adding to this was the changing demographics of the users. They were more tech-savvy and better educated than before, with greater access to legal information and awareness of the avenues to seek recourse. However, this meant a risk of users obtaining inaccurate and misleading information from other sources .
To address these challenges, the client commissioned PebbleRoad in 2020 to create a single source of "truth" for their users.
Our initial research confirmed users' frustration, anxiety and confusion. Not only were the web pages dense and full of legalese, they had "textbook" replies that were unhelpful. This led users to seek answers elsewhere, from calling the entities' hotlines to browsing other organisations' websites.
This poor experience resulted from a production mindset ("I'm done when I have produced the content") where information was organised organisation-centric.
This way, users did not need to know the entities' entire workings in order to access the law; they just needed to identify with the task they wanted help with.
Thinking like a consumer, not a producer
We proposed the client to adopt a consumption mindset ("I'm done when my readers have satisfactorily consumed the content") instead.
Before the revamp, users had to first know where to begin:
Where it needs to be done → What needs to be done → How it needs to be done
We proposed to start the user journey with tasks instead:
Tasks that users needs to complete ("jobs to be done") → What needs to be done → How to do it
Hence the problem statement was: How might we make it easy for users to find and understand information on a single website so that they can complete a task or make informed decisions?
With the client, we drew up design principles to guide the project, including:
Be user first, not client first
Give one experience, not three
Give answers, not just information
With content at the core, the PebbleRoad team, which comprised two content strategists, did the following:
Attended crash courses on legal topics with subject matter experts
Conducted an audit of the existing content on the three websites
Identified reusable content patterns and content types
Proposed an information architecture-centred on user tasks
Wrote user-first content
Ran weekly content critiques with experts to ensure content edited or introduced is complete, neutral and legally accurate
Conducted content usability tests to achieve a Flesch Reading Ease score of at least 60 (i.e. content easy enough for an average adult to read)
Agile way of working
The website was launched in three beta phases, presenting users with a choice of accessing the beta site when they visited the original three websites. This reduces risks and avoids a situation of "complete failure" as each phase provides feedback from actual users and an opportunity to identify blind spots. We learnt on the go, ascertaining market fit and user needs in an agile manner.
Co-teaming
We did not want to build a stagnant website that would need another revamp in three years. Instead, we wanted to the client to develop in-house capabilities so they can continue improving and evolving the website. This required a shift from a project mindset to a product mindset.
Product mindset focuses on constant improvements; project mindset focuses on creating new products
To this end, we worked with a client team to design and develop the website. This led to shared understanding and shared ownership of the decisions. There were also training workshops to impart knowledge (e.g. insights analysis, ideation, usability testing, measurements, content writing) to the client team. We hoped this co-teaming approach would sow the seeds for a sustainable future for the website.
The mammoth task of combining three websites into one to deliver a unified user experience took nearly a year, albeit over three beta launches. The usability tests conducted with each beta launch validated what worked and highlighted areas for improvement.
"It states the course of action and what I need to do... this website assures me."
Based on feedback, we iterated the information architecture and content design, and further simplified our writing. We were cheered by comments such as:
"There is more information available as compared to the current website, which wasn't available previously."
"It states the course of action and what I need to do, and this website assures me."
"I like the boxes [timeline] on the right hand side, it helps me to navigate the website easily"
Eligibility checkers now allow users to know if they are eligible before starting a process.
The new website now has a simple query bar on its home page, with prompts to help users identify their "jobs to be done". Some key highlights include:
Transparent process: Users had felt stressed when they could not understand long and complex legal processes. The website now has detailed process maps to help users achieve their goal in the easiest or fastest way.
Legal aid signposts: Previously, information on where to get legal aid was buried deep within the websites. Now, clear signposts and an intuitive user interface help users to navigate to the resources no matter where they are in the website.
Eligibility checkers: Eligibility criteria were not available before. Now, the user sees the criteria even before starting a process. Clear visual cues distinguish between the different sets of criteria ("you can file if …" vs "you cannot file if…").

It would appear that the Bush administration has concluded, somewhat belatedly, that US forces are incapable of bringing the security situation in Iraq under control and are powerless to prevent the daily increase in the number and severity of attacks. For the administration problems with its Iraqi policy are compounded by the fact that next year's presidential elections are effectively already underway and, however many fingers are being crossed in the White House, what happens in Iraq cannot help but determine the outcome.
Bush's priority — the priority of all incumbent presidents — is to get himself re- elected. To help further this goal he will attempt to choose from among the available alternatives the one that offers the best prospects for resolving the Iraqi crisis in a manner that will enhance his popularity ratings. The problem, though, is that just as his administration has begun to sense the risks involved in persisting in its current policy it has also realised the dangerous lack of available alternatives. Which leaves Bush in a double-bind. In his determination to get re- elected he may feel compelled to opt for a course of action that will strategically impair Washington's ability to secure a decisive victory in the war in Iraq. And should this happen, the American public may well conclude that they have a president who will do anything just to hang on to power.
Amid such uncertainty one things seems clear: Bush will only be able to win the forthcoming presidential elections and the war in Iraq if he succeeds in bringing US forces back home before next November after having established a government in Iraq that is both loyal to the US and capable of keeping security under control. From current perspectives, the likelihood of achieving the necessary double is next to zero.
A hasty withdrawal of US forces from Iraq will result in the establishment of a government in Baghdad hostile to the US, or else precipitate civil war. In both instances the US will have lost the war and Bush will fail to get re-elected. But if Washington is to successfully instal an Iraqi government loyal to the US and capable of securing the country its troops must remain in Iraq far beyond the timetable dictated by electoral campaign schedules.
Bush and his adviser must spend sleepless nights listening to the ticking of the clock for the longer US forces remain in Iraq then the higher the casualties. And as the death toll increases, so Bush's electoral chances decrease. It is interesting to note, in this regard, that the Iraqi resistance has recently concentrated its attacks against non-US forces in Iraq in an attempt to deter other nations from committing forces that might alleviate the burden on American troops.
As the pressure mounts the current US administration is faced with two alternatives. The first is to transfer power to an interim Iraqi government with wide-ranging powers, including maintaining security. This would allow US troops to leave residential districts and re-deploy in fortified positions away from the cities, reducing the risk of attack. The second alternative would be to manipulate circumstances in such a way as to precipitate a conflict with Iran or Syria, and then rely on the American people standing behind their president in such a crisis. The White House, for the time being at least, appears to have opted for the first alternative. We should not, however, discount a switch to the second.
Last week Bush recalled Paul Bremer to Washington for consultations. Following the visit administration officials issued several statements indicating that Washington was seriously examining ways to transfer power to an interim Iraqi government before the end of next year, i.e. before the November 2004 elections. Spurred on by the growing success of the Iraqi resistance Washington is seeking to change its plans for Iraq and appears now to accept a clear timetable for democratic elections and the transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi people, something it rejected less than a month ago when pressed by other permanent members of the Security Council.
Unfortunately there is a vast difference between declarations of intent and Washington's ability to act on them. Any interim government in Iraq will face an enormous problem since its success in establishing sufficient authority to allow US forces to withdraw to safer positions will be dependent on its independence from the occupying forces. Such autonomy can only be achieved by setting in motion a political process, under UN supervision, capable of leading to the formation of an interim government, the drafting of a constitution and the holding of democratic elections. Yet this remains precisely the course most opposed by Washington's hawks.
What lies behind Washington's declared intentions, then, is less a desire to placate Iraq than to domesticate the conflict set in motion by the invasion and subsequent occupation. The US administration is seeking to transform the conflict into an Iraqi-Iraqi war in which Washington will support one of the two sides . The transfer of power US officials trail will be purely cosmetic. It entails no more than a temporary mandate for some Iraqi factions to fight the war on America's behalf. Once the presidential elections are over the US will once again take up the reins until it succeeds in engineering the kind of Iraq it wants, i.e. a country that has been effectively severed from its Arab and Islamic identity and thoroughly infiltrated by Israel.
The chances of such a plan succeeding are remote. The capacity of any temporary government installed in Baghdad making rapid decisions and then implementing them requires a heavily centralised and non- sectarian administration. Yet the Iraqi army, security services and police have all been disbanded; to reconstruct them on models that will satisfy Washington's ideological criteria will take years. It certainly cannot be accomplished by November. Nor does it seem that there is the remotest possibility of the occupation authorities creating a non- sectarian government acceptable to all. Any interim Iraqi government the US creates will, therefore, have to depend almost entirely on the direct support of US forces which, in turn, will weaken its credibility, isolate it and encourage attempts to topple it. Meanwhile, US forces directly involved in operations against the resistance behind the façade of an Iraqi government will remain vulnerable to attack.
Bush, then, will find himself back at square one. As the election campaign heats up he will face a barrage of criticism, and questions over the ever more elusive weapons of mass destruction and the real reasons he risked the lives of American troops in Iraq. Under such circumstances the administration in Washington might opt for a more aggressive way out of its domestic predicaments. The temptation to concoct a crisis with Iran and/or Syria could then be overwhelming.
Let us not forget that the current US administration is ruthlessly pragmatic. With an irredeemably ultraconservative stamp it espouses views that certainly border on intolerance and racism. Indeed, in terms of its motives, philosophical premises and tenacity it is not that different from earlier Fascist or Stalinist administrations.
Nor are democratic institutions, especially in times of crisis, immune to subversion. This has happened frequently in the past and it would be foolhardy to assume that the US is somehow exempt from history. Democratic societies that can produce the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, Sharon and George W Bush are societies that can be anaesthetised into compliance if the right patriotic, nationalist or ethnocentric buttons are pressed. This is precisely what occurred in the US in the wake of 11 September. Bush, who barely scraped into the Oval Office on the strength of a recount became a national hero overnight when some 85 per cent of the American people began cheering him while in the throes of a collective coma from which they have not entirely recovered.
Israel, we should also remember, has now become a full partner in the US decision- making process, a position it has secured not only on the basis of mutual security interests but also, and more dangerously, for ideological reasons. Pro-Israeli forces were the most vociferous advocates of the invasion of Iraq. They will be equally vociferous in advocating regime change in Iran, viewing it as an indispensable first step towards the elimination of Hizbullah, Hamas and Jihad, and the eventual redrawing of the regional map.
We cannot, then, rule out the possibility that Washington's ultraconservatives will target Tehran. Knowing that any strike against Iran would be foolhardy may well not be enough to deter such an ideologically driven course that, they hope, will have the added benefit of rallying public opinion around the American flag. Hitler, after all, rushed headlong into the Soviet Union fully aware of the potentially disastrous consequences.


I'm running Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro and recently wanted to do a screenshot (without using a special application). If you're looking for the answer, try: shift + fn + f11.
Last night Philip and I released our new pet project "Find that Robot". It's a small online maps game where the goal is to find the little robot figure at various movie locations around the world.
It's been a fun project to work on giving us a chance to play with new technology – the site is built using node.js and uses a little bit of HTML5 and CSS3. We've also been enjoying writing the content and 'in-jokes' that you'll appreciate if you've seen the films.
Finding that your html layouts are fine in all clients except on your iPhone? This may be due to text size.
The iPhone and iPad mail client only display text at 13px or higher. If you have specified a lower value than this, the text will be displayed at 13px.
It seems that Apple has done this in order to make emails easier to read on their portable devices however a 1px change can really make an HTML layout look terrible. Text such as disclaimers & fine print really don't need to be this large, particulary since it's so easy to zoom in on the mail application.
Back when I was at university I was very disappointed to be turned down for a barista job at a well known Wellington cafe, based on the fact that I didn't drink coffee. I'd had 2 years experience making the stuff as well as having attended a couple of training sessions and thought that I was more than qualified. Now, looking back, I feel they were probably right. Making great coffee isn't just about science – it's about adapting quickly to change and knowing how the slightest change in your behaviour can alter the taste. If the weather changes dramatically, you'll notice this in your fresh grind and will need to adjust your technique to get the coffee right.
I was reminded of this experience recently while working with a Social Media coordinator who wasn't on Twitter, didn't use RSS and only used Facebook for work purposes. The question I ask is: Should you hire a Social Media Expert that doesn't use social media?
Eighteen year old Toni probably would have said yes. Go for it, if they know the theory then why shouldn't they be hired? Now I feel a little different.

Q: In Python, how can I combine a set of tuples from a list of given tuples without using itertools? Given a list as follows:
[(1, 2), (3, 4, 5), (6,)]
I know it's very easy to combine the list of tuples by using itertools.
(1, 3, 6), (1, 4, 6), (1, 5, 6), (2, 3, 6), (2, 4, 6), (2, 5, 6)
But how can I solve it without using itertools?

A:  [(x, y, 6) for x in (1, 2) for y in (3, 4, 5)]

Also see Get the cartesian product of a series of lists? for more general solutions

A: Here's a fairly generic approach with a series of loops over the input:
lst = [(1, 2), (3, 4, 5), (6,)]

result = [tuple([l]) for l in lst[0]]
for l in lst[1:]:
    out = []
    for r in result:
        for i in range(len(l)):
            out.append((*r, l[i]))
    result = out

print(result)

Output:
[(1, 3, 6), (1, 4, 6), (1, 5, 6), (2, 3, 6), (2, 4, 6), (2, 5, 6)]

A: def product(pools):
    result = [[]]
    for pool in pools:
        result = [x+[y] for x in result for y in pool]
    return result

product([(1,2,3),(4,5),(6,)])
[[1, 4, 6], [1, 5, 6], [2, 4, 6], [2, 5, 6], [3, 4, 6], [3, 5, 6]]

Jewellery is such a weakness of mine and everyone knows it. It's my most common birthday gift and I can't walk past a shiny jewellery store, with out peering in.
Of all the brands I shop at, Pandora is one that I keep coming back to. I have several of their charm bracelets and equally love the selection of other jewellery they have, such as their necklaces.
I had such a great time recently where I got to have a look through some of their really stunning pieces of jewellery - these are inspired by weddings, making them perfect to wear, whether you're a bride or a wedding guest.
I mean look at these pieces below: don't you want everything. I've got one more wedding this year and I am definitely imagining how I'll style some of the below.
After falling in love with all the pieces, we also got to make matching flower crowns! We had an expert florist come in and teach us how to make the most beautiful flower crowns. I tried so hard to make mine subtle, but I couldn't help it: it came out like a proper Instagram filter.
I loved your flower crown so much! It really does look like a proper snapchat filter, but in the best possible way :) You look so gorgeous in the photo wearing it, too.

7×11 Semi-Antique Handknotted Persian Heriz
Authentic Persian rug; made in Iran.
Red primary field color with a a navy center medallion.
Tertiary colors include white, light blue, brown, and pink among others.
This rug is 100% wool and is entirely handmade. Most people do not appreciate the art and the craftsmanship that goes into making a rug by hand. So many steps are involved from shearing the wool, to separating and washing the wool, dying the wool, and spinning it into yarn to be used. Now the hard work begins! This is also where the artistry takes place. A designer will design out the new rug on a piece of paper. Using that design anywhere from one to four craftsman will make the rug using a technique called knotting. It typically takes a minimum of one month to make the simplest of handmade rug and up to two years for the most complex rugs. Most rugs take two to four months. Each rug is then knotted one knot at a time. Lower quality rugs have approximately 80 knots per square inch, an average rug has 150 to 180 knots per square inch, with finer rugs increasing in quality. The finest rugs come in at 300 knots per square inch and higher. The tighter the knot count, the higher the quality of the piece. After the rug is made it is then washed to lock in the colors and dried out in natural sunlight. Last, but not least, the wool is trimmed down to an even pile length prior to being made available for sale. Every step along the way is extremely manually intensive. Each handmade rug takes hundreds of hours to make.

I was looking through the games you suggested for the murder mystery surprise parties and the one that struck me was The Final Curtain.
I was curious, does that game have a detective character? It seems that having the guest of honor play a detective with no pertinent backstory to the murder plot would be a good way to incorporate the guest of honor.
They could easily get into character and wouldn't have to learn a whole character synopsis; just ask questions to the characters.
Do you have any more information you can share about that game or insight to creating an additional character like a detective?
Then the rest of us who are on in the surprise can be the characters and work to reveal/hide the necessary clues.
The Final Curtain does indeed have a detective character - Inspector Blewitt. However, they do not appear until the murder has taken place as the murder victim and the inspector are played by the same person.
This might be a lot of fun for your guest of honor, though.

Travelgrams From A Road Trip Through Westland
Benjamin Jones
Wild and untamed New Zealand's Westland encompasses some of the most rugged vistas I've seen since arriving here in December 2012.
The palette of colours, diversity of terrain and the sheer scale of the countryside reminds me just how fortunate I am to have spent the last 18 months travelling through this volcanic land. Largely uninhabited yet bursting with unquestionable beauty the region is often overlooked by those visiting the tourist favourites of Queenstown and Fiordland.
There are many remnants of the rich cultural heritage that has seen the region inhabited by both Maori and European settlers at the forefront of colonization. However for me, the real appeal lies in the unfettered natural beauty visible at every turn.
While I could yarn on about its landscapes for far too long, I feel it's best to show you some of my favourite snapshots from our month long road trip north through the Gates of Haast, and along Westland's rugged coast.
The wild coast of Westland
Nestled between the ancient rainforests of Te Wahipounamu, the frigid glaciers which blanket the Southern Alps, and the Tasman Sea; Haast offers an insight into real Middle Earth.
Valued by the Ngati-Mamoe tribe for its deposits of Pounamu – Greenstone – and then the Europeans for its gold rich ground, Haast has seen settlers come and go over the past 1000 years.
Today the region is deemed to encompass such a wealth of natural beauty that UNESCO have designated it a 'World Heritage' area.
Miles of tramping tracks wend their way from the show capped peaks of the Southern Alps down to the lakes and wetlands that line the coast. From the alpine highs of Haast Pass to the remote shingle beaches of Jackson Bay, Haast is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
A small rural township Fox Glacier often plays host to more visitors that it has permanent residents. While just 300 or so people call this remote piece of paradise home, it is a favourite among road trippers and backpackers travelling the rugged coastline of the south island's west coast.
Most notable of its natural features is Te Moeka o Tuawe or Fox Glacier as it is commonly known. A 13km blanket of glacial ice which is advancing towards the coast from the frigid heights of the Southern Alpine Range.
For those with adventure in their blood a heli hike with the team at Fox Glacier Guides is the best way to witness the sheer scale of the ice first hand. The surface of the glacier is an ever changing architectural playground sculpted by the perpetual motion of the ice sheet moving down towards the rainforest clad coast.
Just one of many areas of natural beauty within Westland's Tai Poutini National Park, your stay in Fox Glacier should combine tramping, ice hiking and glow worm spotting as well as a trip to neighbouring Lake Matheson.
Reflection Point on Lake Matheson
Set in the heart of glacier country Lake Matheson is known for its ability to produce the most beautiful picture perfect reflections of any body of water on earth.
Following the 90 minute trail which encircles the lake provides the opportunity to stop at Reflection Point – a purpose built board walk which takes you out onto the water and to the optimum location for extraordinary reflection. When Mother Nature plays ball and the lake is still, the surrounding alpine peaks are painted as though in watercolour on the surface of the lake.
After you've soaked in the view at Reflection Point and completed the trail a delicious treat is almost a necessity, and in my opinion the perfect end to the day. Despite its rural location the Matheson Café serves up some of the most delicious plates I've eaten during my stay here in New Zealand.
Inspired by the alpine vistas that surround the property owner and award winning chef Chris Alexander hits the spot with his combination of fresh local produce and crisp Kiwi flavours.
On the edge of Paparoa National Park is the community of Punakaiki. While I doubt many of you will resonate with the name, I'm sure you'll be familiar with its most famous resident, Panacake Rocks.
Photographed by thousands each year these natural rock formations attract crowds from across the globe and are a great place to stop enroute north or south along the coast.
A 10 minute walk from the highway will take you out to the coast where millennia of pounding waves have sculpted the most unusual of natural artworks. When a south-westerly swell whips the ocean into a frenzy at high tide, Mother Nature puts on a powerful display of force firing water high into the air above those lucky enough to be stood watching on the walkway below.
Aside it towers of what appear to be rock pancakes stand against the force of the waves, creating a alien seascape of irregular forms.
In the northern corner of Westland sits Paparoa National Park. While its boarders encompass the heavily eroded formations of the Pancake Rocks, in its depths it harbours further examples of Mother Nature's indomitable power.
Excavated over the years by the ebb and flow of the Nile River, the Te Ananui Caves provide a unique underground excursion to those willing to explore the depths of the park with just a flashlight and hard hat.
Our afternoon caving with the team at Underworld Adventures gave us the chance to step into a foreign world where light has no influence and the darkness dictates the delicate balance of life.
BULLER GORGE
Walking Over the Buller Gorge, New Zealand
As you make your way towards the Tasman the road twists and turns following the fast flowing Buller River. Winding its way through a deep gorge the Buller is one of New Zealand's longest rivers flowing over 170km before it reaches the Tasman Sea.
A rural Highway 6 which connects the Abel Tasman with Westland, this route is in my opinion one of the south island's most epic drives. Navigating aside steep cliffs and surrounded by lush rainforest the Buller is a life source for much of the region.
If you fancy getting up close to the raging water and are willing to part with $5, you can suspend yourself above the river as you walk across the Buller Swingbridge. Alternatively for a rather larger fee take a ride on the Buller River Jet.
This article is part of our Snapshot Series. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram for more awesome #travelgrams.

Nice photos. I loved the South Island of New Zealand. Lucky you, you could see Lake Matheson with sunshine and all the reflections. It was a pretty bad day when I was there :-/ I haven't been to the Buller Gorge, it looks amazing, will remind it for my next NZ trip 🙂
We were very fortunate Stef. We only waited for around 40 minutes to capture this shot when the wind had dipped and almost died entirely.
It's so insanely beautiful. We love hiking so can't wait to get to New Zealand and explore its beauty at some point. Thanks for the inspiration to do so!
No worries Carmen! It's great to be able to inspire others through sharing our own experiences of travel here in New Zealand.
Megan Claire says:
I've never been to a glacier before – Fox Glacier looks amazing. Would love the opportunity to do a heli hike; sounds wicked!!
We've been blessed to have the freedom to explore in such depth during our time here. I highly recommend saving hard before you arrive and making the most of your 12 month working holiday visa.
Stunning, these pictures are making me very homesick!
Thanks Emma! Are you a Westland native? You've a beautiful home to return to! I'd be homesick too!
Maria from Nerd Nomads says:
Wow, your photos are amazing! Especially the Lake Matheson and Fox Glacier looks great! This really makes me want to go to New Zealand! Looks a bit like my home country Norway :).
Beautiful snapshots! I would love to explore all of these areas, but I think Fox Glacier and Buller Gorge are at the top of the list! Looks like such a fun area 🙂
The Fox Glacier is such a breathtaking sight. To see so much ice compacted in a valley was rather mind blowing!
Absolutely amazing shots and impressions! There are so many fascination and most intriguing places all over the world, but Iceland and New Zealand seem to have quite a magical spell… *sigh* Thanks for sharing!
New Zealand has put me into a trance! I honestly feel as though no new destination could ever live up to the magnitude of the beauty I see here every day.
Charili, These vistas are gorgeous! I love the reflection the best. I've only been to the South Island, so some of the places you mention are completely new to me.
I'm so pleased we could show you more of the beautiful south Corinne!
First of all, I just wanted to tell you what a stunning-looking website you have! It's gorgeous. Second, how bad it it that, as a New Zealander, I'm living vicariously through your photos when I could fairly easily just go out there and have my own adventure?! This has inspired me to finally see a bit more of my own country – and finally go check out this "amazing Fox Glacier" that everyone keeps talking about 😉
Thanks Simon! Its always the same, we never explore our own backyard. I'm glad we've inspired you to get out there and see what a superb country you've got!
Mo @ Mosaffer.com says:
Amazing shots my fav is defno the lake and reflection of the mountain. 🙂
Cheers Mo!
Wow, gorgeous photos guys! Having lived in Australia for basically all my life, it's a wonder that I haven't explored NZ yet! 🙁
Gorgeous photos! Makes me want to hop on a plane right now and explore this country.

EASA issues emergency AD on Trent 1000 engines
An All Nippon Boeing 787 with Trent 1000 engines (Photo: eipu – CC-by-nc-sa
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued an emergency airworthiness directive, requiring replacement of specific gearbox assembly models on Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
EASA reports that transfer gearbox (TGB) failures occurred during Trent 1000 engine testing.
Engineering investigation determined that the crown wheel gear of the TGB had failed due to corrosion. The latter was the result of a change in a step of the manufacturing process. It was possible to identify a list of potentially affected
gearbox assemblies.
Therefor, an emergency AD was issued to require replacement of the affected gearbox assembly with a serviceable part. This AD also prohibits installation of an affected gearbox assembly.
The Trent 1000 engines are known to be installed on, but not limited to Boeing 787 series aeroplanes. The only airline currently operating 787 planes with Trent 1000 engines is All Nippon Airways.
By the time the emergency AD had been issued, July 25, All Nippon had already grounded five planes on July 22.

A massive shake-up has come to Tree of Savior with its latest update, the scope of which is suggested by its official title — Re:Build. The patch, which went live a couple of days ago, not only brought some huge overhauls to the game's existing class and rank systems but also introduced new endgame raid content.
One of the main focuses of the update was the retooling of the game's class trees. In addition to shuffling some classes into different trees — some classes that formerly belonged to the Wizard progression tree now belong to the Swordsman tree, for instance — the update also introduced the all-new Scout tree, which is comprised of 10 classes formerly found in the game's original four trees plus two all-new classes, the Outlaw and the Assassin.
In addition to the class and rank system overhauls, the update also introduced two new pieces of endgame raid content. Borutos Kapas is a new large-scale field raid for level 360 characters in which players must band together to face down the game's toughest raid boss yet: the great dragon Boruta. There's also a new unique raid within the Astral Tower, where players who brave the tower's many traps (and the fearsome raid boss Ignas) can get their hands on some powerful new equipment.
You can find all the details about Tree of Savior's Re:Build update over on the official site, and if you want to get a quick run-down of all the new changes, you can check out the handy Re:Build survival guide video just below.

Man, I played so much of this game. I just kind of fell behind and had no one around to play with. But now I'm thinking I should jump back in and check it out casually to see what's happening. I had fun when I was in it.
Hmm. Maybe it's time to jump back into this game. Cool. I'll check it out, again.
Im' playing right now. The idea is good, the execution is a bit off, but the game itself is boring as all hell.
Hmm. Ok. I played at launch. Too many issues to really see the game at the time. But yeah, it was a grind even then.
The game feels more like Diablo than Ragnarok. Which is a problem of it's own.
Game feels like it finally left beta, and actually released. Now for them to improve on what's there. Optimization patch should be coming soon too, which is good.
Alas, my poor Spr Cleric/Priest/Bokor/Doctor zombified party / pvp build; your 25 seconds of true invincibility and ridiculously high healing and defense buff out put will be missed.


Big Trophy Adventures, LLC offers some of the best wild quail hunting in the Panhandle of Texas. My dog's are veteran guide dogs and will find, hold, and retrieve your birds. Most of the ranches are easy walking, and we drive the larger tracks and large grass fields. The terrain consists of mesquite and cedar flats, river bottoms, creek bottoms, large lakes and ponds, CRP fields with cover, cover near cultivated fields, and lots of shelter belts and old homesteads. We have great water sources, natural feeding areas, and lots corn feeders also.
A typical day is starting our hunt at the break of dawn, break for short lunch, and back out in the field until 3pm. I try not to hunt my birds past 3pm. This ensures the regrouping of the covey, and decrease the chances of predator pick off the singles. Our coveys average 20 to 25 birds strong, but you will see lots of coveys with birds exceeding 30 to 50 birds.
We guarantee all our clients will have an opportunity to harvest quail, but hitting them is up to the individual hunter. Hunters can bring their own hunting dogs, but guaranteed hunts will only be offered with my guide dogs.
So, if your looking for a guaranteed guided quail hunt, great dog work, and a good fellowship then look no further. Because Big Trophy Adventures, LLC has everything needed for a great hunting adventure, plus come see why they call these areas "The Giant Side of Texas".

Q: How do u find the log likelihood function of Y^1/2 = XB + u? Let $Y_i>0$ for all $Y_i$ and $u_i \sim N(0,\sigma^2)$. Where the $u_i$ are iid.
How do you find the log-likelihood function of $Y_i ^{1/2} = B X_i + u_i$?
I am confused because the dependent variable is square-rooted.

A: It's $u$ that has the specified distribution here so why could you not just

*

*write the (log-)likelihood for $u=(u_1,...,u_n)$ and then

*replace $u_i$ by the equivalent $\sqrt{y_i}-X_iB$?
Equivalently, let $Y^* = \sqrt{Y}$ and rewrite your (log-)likelihood in terms of that new variable (the model is just $Y^*=XB+u$...)
The new variable is observed in the same sense that $Y$ is -- any time you have a $y_i$ you have a $y_i^*$ -- as far as I can see there's no need to worry about Jacobians or anything here.
There are some issues with the fact that $\sqrt{Y}$ literally can't be conditionally normal -- note that $\sqrt{Y}$ has 0 probability of being negative but $XB+u$ has a non-zero probability of being negative -- but that's an issue of model specification rather than a difficulty in the algebra per se. If you ignore it there should be no particular difficulty as long as the model gives a reasonable description of the conditional distribution; in some situations you might get negative predictions (or occasionally even fitted values) for $\sqrt{y}$ but that's not the fault of anything but the person choosing to fit the model in those circumstances.
However, note that you no longer have a model for the mean of $Y$, but for the mean of $Y^*$, and $E(Y)\neq E(\sqrt{Y})^2$. If there's any variation in $Y$, the square of the predicted $Y^*$ will be too small if you want to predict $Y$ (a Taylor expansion can give an approximate adjustment). Similarly you can't just take confidence intervals for the mean across. On the other hand prediction intervals should work reasonably well if you just transform the endpoints.

Association of COVID-19 with Domestic Poultry – a Myth: GADVASU Experts
KJ Staff Updated 17 March, 2020 8:08 PM IST
The poultry production is one of the most important and profitable component of Indian animal agriculture. Millions of farmers in India are involved in poultry production, processing, and value addition. The socio-economics of millions of people in India is dependent on the success of poultry industry as India produces around 120 crores of broilers and around 1030 crores of eggs. With 4.1 million tons of poultry meat production annually, India is at 3rd position in the world poultry production. The poultry, apart from providing job security to millions of people, remains one of the most important sources of good quality meat for human consumption. The continuous growth of poultry industry at 6-7% annually has been a blessing for Indian rural economy and nutritional security to our people.
With the increasing instances of COVID-19 over the last couple of months across the world; the poultry industry in India is at the receiving end and has come under the threat of huge losses. There are unnecessary and false rumours of COVID-19 being spread through poultry, and this unfounded and baseless fear has created a fear psychosis, resulting into a sharp decline in the consumption and therefore, demand of poultry products in India. Up to 50% reduction in the demand for poultry products has severely affected the health of poultry industry. The prices of poultry meat and eggs have fallen flat. There are many reports in the press of the farmers selling poultry products at throwaway prices. The poultry ventures once closed, will take huge costs, and time to restart.
While people associated with the business of poultry production and processing are badly affected, this is also leading to malnutrition because of lack of consumption of poultry products. It is expected that such a trend in the diets of our people will weaken immunity of masses making them more vulnerable to various diseases including attacks from viruses. This clearly means that while consumption of poultry products has nothing to do with the transmission of COVID-19, it instead makes a person immune to fight with the disease. It is therefore, imperative that such rumours of poultry spreading COVID-19 should be dispelled with.
As of now, there is no scientific evidence of involvement of domestic poultry and consumption of poultry products in the ongoing pandemic i.e. novel coronavirus. The World Organization of Animal Health (OIE), Paris has clearly stated that the main root of COVID-19 transmission is human-to-human interaction and that poultry products have not been found to be involved. The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying, Government of India, in a press release has also clarified that there is no involvement of poultry in spreading such viruses. Instead, the consumption of fully cooked poultry products would be safe and there would be no threat of COVID-19. The Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSFAI) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have also notified that there is no scientific evidence of food borne transmission of COVID-19. The need of the hour, therefore is not to get scared of novel coronavirus but to deal with it in a more scientific and systematic manner. Stopping of poultry meat and eggs would not in any way reduce the threat of its infection as such. It is, therefore, advised that people should not follow the rumours about poultry products; instead they should take all possible precautions to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus.
The experts of GADVASU have clarified that hygienically processing, and properly cooked poultry meat and eggs are not a source of novel coronavirus. Hence, consuming properly cooked, clean poultry meat and eggs do not add to the threat of COVID-19. Instead, experts are of the opinion that consumption of protein rich poultry meat and eggs would help them for better immunity, thereby reducing chances of contacting diseases. Dr A S Nanda, Vice Chancellor of the University has appealed to the people not to live in rumours of poultry birds spreading novel coronavirus. Instead, he advised people to remain vigilant and take all precautions. People have been advised to remain away from crowded areas until necessary, wash hands with soap and other sanitizers quite often and do not sneeze or spit in the public. While coughing, the face should be covered with a mask or cloth. If at all, there are any symptoms of COVID-19 e.g. fever, respiratory distress, sneezing or cough, people should contact the doctor for proper medication and advice.

Q: Location doesn't update My location and direction doesn't automatically change when I move my device. Also, it never shows the exact location.
I'm only using map.setMyLocationEnabled(true). Here's what I get

A: One fast approach would be to use OnLocationChangedListener, but that's deprecated (sorry :-) lol).
According to the documentation,

This interface is deprecated. Use com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderApi instead.
  FusedLocationProviderApi provides improved location finding and power
  usage and is used by the "My Location" blue dot. See the
  MyLocationDemoActivity in the sample applications folder for example
  example code, or the Location Developer Guide.

Therefore, the FusedLocationProviderAPI is your best bet. You can follow the link in the documentation snippet.
I hope this helps. Merry coding!

The 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) will be celebrated all over the world during 2012-13. First Session of SPPIS, Haryana focuses on contemporary Indian philosophy. In the 19th century Mother India gave the birth to some bright Stars, of course, not in the sky, but on her soil. They were luminaries in their respective fields. Rabindranath Tagore, Keshab Chandra Sen, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, Raja Rammohan Roy, Iswarchandra Vidyasagar, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Mahatma Gandhi, Lokmanya Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, Swami Vivekananda and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose are some of the most revered personalities of that century. In this regard the Centre for Positive Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies (CSPPIS), Pehowa (Kurukshetra) devoted its first session on contemporary Indian philosophy.
In the last decays, a number of monographs on the history of Indian philosophy have been published. Of the books by Indian authors, the following are worthy of notice, first and foremost: the two volume Indian Philosophy by Dr .Sarvepalli Radhakrishanan, the former President of the Republic of Indian, A History of Indian Philosophy by Surendrantha Dasgupta; Suryanarayana Sastry's Short History of Indian Materialism in Sanskrit; Hiriyanna's Outlines of Indian Philosophy; An Introduction to Indian Philosophy by S.Chatterjee and D. Datta; A History of Indian Philosophy by Ram Mohan Roy and many more treatises on contemporary Indian philosophy too. The common feature of these works is that they are all written form the positions of idealist interpretation of history and are limited to the ancient, medieval and modern periods of the history of Indian philosophy. The situation is the same in the works of the Western historians of philosophy, where the whole of the history of Indian philosophy is essentially reduced to the history of the three unorthodox and six orthodox systems. Our attempt is to make a critical evaluation of all philosophers with their main issues or trends of philosophical speculations in contemporary times whether they are academicians or non-academicians.
Here we uploaded some abstracts of contributors and only of English language. We got paper on Swami Vivekananda, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Sri Aurobindo, Bhagat Singh, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Nehru etc. and also some papers on general interests. There are also some Hindi papers we got. We will publish it in a book till December. We are thankful to the contributors who made this session successful through their valuable contribution. This session is unique in itself as it started a new trend of philosophical speculations and availability of online resources. We hope our contributors find it valuable in their academic as well as social life.

Swami Vivekananda is one of the modern age philosophers of India who has commented on various subjects. As a follower of universal religion, at many times he has criticized orthodoxy and rigid nature of religion. He proposed Sarvajanika Dharma and criticized conservatism in religion. While doing this he has assessed fanaticism in religion. This paper examines his views on fanaticism and evaluates his reaction towards it. He has not only discussed the causes and effects of fanaticism but also suggested some remedies for its cure. While giving causes of fanaticism he discusses how ignorance and bad faith are responsible for origin of it. Regarding the influence of it on human world he says that fanaticism is most hard barrier for development of true religion and is responsible for destruction of human civilizations. When we study his ideas and views on it we can see that his viewpoints are still relevant today. Today in the age of growing disparity, fundamentalism and violence his suggestions can be good tools for creating the environment which will change the situation of the world. An attempt is made in this paper to understand and interpret his ideas and see it they are relevant today or not.

Philosophy travels, and it travels through pen and vocal cords. It travelled in East with Lord Buddha and Swami Vivekananda took it to the West. We would like to highlight through this paper the message which Vivekananda spread. He walked as a missionary in the west, holding flag of Hindu religion at Parliament of Religion in Chicago (1893). How he philosophises the eastern ocean of knowledge and learning into an alien land with objective philosophy of past in a modern way? The philosophy of Vedanta through which he conquered the Western elite minds which modernity still speaks of. He was an integrationist of East and West. Through this paper we would be analyzing the practicality of how difficult discourse it was for Vedanta into the western philosophical thought of binary opposition, simultaneously in India considering caste system as evil? The debate of how nature is representation of supernatural consciousness of different religions. We would throw light on his mission of spiritual foundation in the West along with his goal to reach masses that have to manifest what potential has been hidden within. At last how he will be regarded as the prophet of modern age and generations (present and upcoming).

Contemporary Indian Philosophy has arisen in awareness of the need to blend the forces of tradition with those of modernity. The Contemporary Indian Philosophers are of the opinion that philosophy is to be treated like an attitude – an attitude towards life. Humanism has always been the most emphatic point for Contemporary Indian Philosophers. One of the trend-setters on this particular point of humanism is Swami Vivekananda, a stalwart of 19th and 20th century Indian Philosophy. In the philosophy of Swami Vivekananda the concept of yoga plays a dominant role. In Yoga Philosophy, 'yoga' means the cessation of mental functions or modifications ( Cittavrttinirodha). The word 'yoga' itself is highly ambiguous. In the narrower sense it means 'union' while in the wider sense it means 'marga' or 'discipline'. Vivekananda incorporated both these meanings in the word 'yoga' with a comprehensive outlook.

On the momentous occasion of Swami Vivekananda's 150th birth anniversary I take this opportunity to pay obeisance to this great visionary of modern India. Karma-Yoga or the ethics of work is the theme of this paper. Derived from the Sanskrit word 'kri' –to do, karma refers to action and the effect of actions. Karma or activity is the essence of Swamiji's philosophy. Everything we do physical or mental, is karma and it leaves its marks on us. Therefore our personality is the effect of our karma. Karma is the manifestation of the inner strength and for its proper realization one should have knowledge. Ignorance leads to misery which creates a negative influence on the individual and the society. Alternatively, misery breeds inactivity and aversion towards life resulting in stagnation of thought and action. Only through proper knowledge and implementing this knowledge through right action can the nation hope to overcome the present socio-economic crisis the world is experiencing. A universal standard of morality and duty based on the ideal of non-violence is the goal that the great Swami dreamt of.

Swami Vivekananda, a great thinker and reformer of India propounds his philosophy of education which mainly emphasize on .man-making.. It constitutes as one of the very missions of his life. Vivekananda finds mankind gradually being reduced to the status of a machine due to the tremendous emphasis on the scientific as well as mechanical ways of life. In his vision this mainly is leading mankind to pass through the stage of a crisis. It results into the ignorance of the fundamental principles of civilization. The atmosphere is being pervaded by the constant conflict of ideals, manners and habits. There is only constant attempt to disregard and discard everything that is old which has become a fashion of the day. Swami Vivekananda finds education as the major weapon to fight against all these social as well as global evils. He realizes that solution of these lies in education, enlightenment. In his vision the spiritual awakening of mankind is mainly needed. This constitutes as the main purpose of his philosophy of education. This paper is an attempt to analyze the vision of education of Swami Vivekananda taking into account the basic philosophy of education-the spiritual unity of the universe, method of education, development of personality, religious education, teacher -student interrelationship, education of women , education of the masses. Thus this paper would altogether attempt to focus on his educational philosophy which has its connection to Vedanta.

Swami Vivekananda (1863- 1902) laid stress on physical development as a prerequisite for spiritual development, which in turn leads to the development of the culture of the country. Swami Vivekananda dedicated his whole life to the great upward swing of humanity. He was indeed a social reformer. In his dynamism of thought human excellence should assert his birth right to be a man. The central theme of his inspiring speeches for the whole world was man— his growth, development and the fulfillment. He found that in spite of India's rich heritage and strong cultured history, various problems like poverty, weakness and social evils existed in our country. For the past 1000 years various foreign invasions took place. So the Indians were exposed to cultures that were totally alien to them. Several attempts were made by the Indian rulers to give the Indians an administration, which was in consonance with the cultural heritage of the country. Later, religions became an important part in the culture and places of worship became community centers. The innovations in religious thinking brought two popular beliefs in India, namely Buddhism by the Buddha and Jainism by the Saint Mahavir. Then there was a socio-religious shift or orientation in the Indian culture. Swami Vivekananda has pointed out that every civilization or culture has a particular life-centre, a dominant characteristic or trend. According to him the life-centre of Indian culture is spirituality. By spirituality is meant a way of life oriented to the ultimate purpose or goal of life which is the realization of the Supreme Spirit or God. Swami Vivekananda once spoke of himself as a "condensed India." His life and teachings are of inestimable value to the West for an understanding of the mind of Asia. In this paper it is an attempt to draw out Swami Vivekananda's thoughts and discussion on Indian Culture and its contribution to world.

Silence as a state of expectancy, a species of attention, is a key back into the garden of innocence. We may not stay. But God knows we listen for the sound of that opening.
Even brief silence, it seems, can inject us with a fertile unknown, a space in which to focus and absorb experience—a reminder that the person we are with may yet surprise us; a reflection that some things we cannot put into words are yet resoundingly real; a reawakening to our dependency on something greater than ourselves.

The Meter Bridge contains PEAK Style meters for monitoring any or all channels in SAW. You can select either STEREO or MONO mode, where MONO mode shows only one meter and takes much less room on the desktop. The SE Meter Bridge is a Peak Type meter bridge for SAW. It displays the current loudness in dB of each stereo channel in the multi-track.
You can select either STEREO or MONO mode, where MONO mode shows only one meter and takes much less room on the desktop.
It allows you to NAME a track for easier identification.
There are two viewing scales, Linear and Logarithmic.
You can select from three Peak and Hold options, SHORT, LONG, and INFINITE. The Meters will hold the latest peak amplitiude and then decay down to -inf dB.
Also a Hard Clip option which will stop any overs from occurring. If you are using SAWPro then it can display digital overs above 0 dB. You can use the Peak value displayed here as a guide to either reduce or increase the track's amplitude.
Also a RESET ON RE-CUE option which will reset the meter to -infinity. You can reset the meters by clicking the dB read out above the meters.
The Aux Send Return plug-in is a plug-in which allows you to send audio from one track and return on another track. This is very similar to what is found on most analog mixers. One of the advantages for the Aux Send plug-in is you can use a single Reverb for more than one track. This greatly reduces the CPU load. Use can also use it for virtual mixing (amplitude only).
There are four Aux Send and Return channels. Each Aux Send-Return channel being marked by a different color.
The plug-in also allows you to change return tracks without having to go to that particular track.
You can also turn on HARD CLIPPING to stop any digital overs from occurring.
The Stereo Pan plug-in allows you to pan (position) both the left and right channels independently of one another. It works well for drum files where the kick drum is on the left and the snare is one the right. With the Stereo Pan plug-in you can for instance position the kick in the center and the snare midway between the left-center position.
Volume Sliders for each channel (LEFT and RIGHT). You have control over the amplitude of a single channel as will as the ability to GANG both channels together.
Pan Sliders for each channel (LEFT and RIGHT). You can position of each channel independently (ganged, or mirrored) within the stereo field.
Mute either the left or right channel.
Invert the Polarity of either or both channels.
There are two Panning Curves to choose from, Constant Power and Linear. The default is constant power (sin/cos) law.
Hard Clip Enable - When the Hard Clip button is enabled, the plug-in will stop digital overs from occurring.
The Stereo/Mono Pre/Mono Post There are three modes upon which the Stereo Pan can operate. The Stereo mode allows the audio to be processed as a normal stereo file. While in Mono Pre mode, the left and right channels will be summed before they are processed by the plug-in. The Mono Post mode, means that both the left and right channels are processed by the plug-in before they are summed together. For Dolby Pro-Logic users, you can also position sound to the surrounds by first summing to mono and inverting one of the stereo channels.
This will sum the stereo file to two mono files (PreProcess) and then Invert the selected stereo channel.
The BigTime plug-in is used to display the current SMPTE time code in large friendly numbers. If you are unable to be close enough to see SAW's SMPTE time code then this plugin is for you Try the free trial version first, or click here for pricing/to purchase a full version!

Q: Sound start buzzing/stuttering/lagging after a while when two users are logged in (Windows 10) stackoverflow.
I have an issue with the sound first, but overall whole system. I have two users on my machine - main user (admin) with games and my personal apps and work account. After I log in to both users after a couple hours sound start buzzing/lagging/stuttering in both accounts and it progressively gets worse. At first games seems unaffected but after a day or so FPS plummets, everything starts lagging. If at first sign of trouble I sign out of work account (haven't tested the other way around actually) - all issues go away.
Additional facts:

*

*After updating NVIDIA drivers it gets much worse, but after deleting and re-installing audio drivers it gets better.

*When it gets bad, just shutdown is not enough. Need full power off (Motherboard has lights, so it is clear when it fully lost power)

*Also after a while Wi-Fi starts disconnecting too (I didn't want to drill the wall to get ethernet, so I use ASUS PCE-AC51 card)

Motherboard is ASUS PRIME B450-PLUS. Processor Ryzen 5 3600. Video card RTX 2060.
I am very puzzled by this issue and exhausted my knowledge of dealing with it. Is it hardware issue? I tried swapping memory modules and was thinking about swapping video cards (fortunately I have a second PC with pretty similar config), but if there is a simpler way to diagnose or fix this, I would like to avoid it. And it starts with sound, so... if it is hardware - it should be motherboard? Anyway, I welcome your suggestions.

A: The issue was not hardware. I am unfortunately, still not sure what exactly is, but it looks like, because WSL2 is enabled on both my accounts so virtualization is trying to work on both and some hiccup happens. If I only work in one of my accounts at the time (signing out from second one) - no issues.

Q: Handling Data Context change in advanced Data Template I'm writing an MDI application in WPF - documents are being displayed in tabs.
Since a tab displays the complete document, DataTemplate for TabControl is obviously quite complex - including some initialization/deinitialization code in CodeBehind (no hacks - this is simply required by controls I use, namely AvalonEdit). The problem is though, that TabControl reuses the created DataTemplate and when I change active document, only DataContext is replaced - omitting all initialization/deinitialization procedures, which are performed in Loaded/Unloaded events.
I thought of hooking DataContextChanged event, but there's a catch:

When the DataContext for an element changes, all data-bound properties on this element are potentially affected. This applies to any elements that are child elements of the current element in the logical tree, which inherit the data context, and also the current element itself. All such existing bindings must re-interpret the new DataContext and will reevaluate the binding results. The data binding engine is not deterministic about the order of these reevaluations, relative to the raising of the DataContextChanged event. The reevaluations can occur before the event, after the event, or in any mixture.

(source: https://learn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/dotnet/api/system.windows.frameworkelement.datacontextchanged?view=netframework-4.8)
So it may happen, that all data bindings are refreshed (including AvalonEdit receiving new document) without deinitialization/initialization calls, what will result in exception.
The ideal solution would be to force TabControl instantiate the view each time from DataTemplate, but it seems like the view-reusing mechanism is a general rule in WPF (ContentControl uses it as well). The less ideal, but still reliable option would be to capture DataContext changes - but I would have to be reliably call code before and after DataContext change and it seems like it is not possible either.
How can I solve this problem? How can I maintain properly (initialize/deinitialize) document with complex view in WPF?

A: Please see my answer to the following question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/47763600/5314530
I've provided an explanation/theory and a working example of how to "fully refresh" a DataTemplate using the x:Shared attribute as well as an implementation of DataTemplateSelector (I found that both were necessary to ensure a new DataTemplate was generated).
To summarise:

*

*The DataTemplate needs to be in a ResourceDictionary with x:Shared="False".

*A DataTemplateSelector needs to be used to provide ambiguity as to which resource/template is required, in order to ensure the current DataTemplate is not persisted.


The Milwaukee Brewers will face the Toronto Blue Jays in the annual 2019 Montreal exhibition games at Olympic Stadium, in the final preseason matches for both teams.
The Toronto Blue Jays will host the St. Louis Cardinals in the annual Montreal MLB games played during spring training, as Olympic Stadium will once again host an exhibition series.
Not every spring-training game happens in Florida or Arizona. You may be able to catch some games closer to home, as teams have scheduled exhibition games across the continent in March.
We can now call this an official tradition: the Toronto Blue Jays will be hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates in the annual Montreal spring games at Olympic Stadium, slated for March 31 and April 1.
The Toronto Blue Jays will be returning for a third straight year to Olympic Stadium for a Montreal spring series to wrap up spring training, this time bringing in the Boston Red Sox as an opponent.
The Toronto Blue Jays will once again host a Montreal exhibition series at Olympic Stadium before the season opener, according to a report from Jeremy Filosa of 98.5 Sports in Montreal.
So many teams are taking to the road at the end of spring training: Toronto and the New York Mets reportedly will wrap up the exhibition season with two games at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, former home of the Expos.


Over a month after football season ended, finally there's some exciting sports to obsess over with the start of March Madness this week!
If you're struggling to fill out your NCAA bracket after Selection Sunday, don't stress -- we've got your back with picks not just from Gronk, but his bros and his dad too.
Here at Gronk Nation, we had Rob, Gordie Jr., Dan, Chris and Papa Gronk fill out their brackets for an "All Gronk Pool."
Needless to say, things are gonna get brutal between the bros and the trash talking will be more amped than any WWE match.
This is the most competitive family in sports, with everything from flip cup to pick up basketball turning into bitter rivalry games when they go against each other.
Not surprisingly, Rob led with his alma mater, Arizona, to dominate and win the whole championship (the Wildcats are currently conference champions and a No. 4 seed). He's got them beating out Michigan State for the top spot, with Michigan, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Villanova, Texas Tech and Kansas rounding out the Elite Eight.
Papa Gronk's former school Syracuse used to dominate the NCAA, but this year they barely squeaked in as a bubble team. They're going up against Arizona State on Wednesday in a fight for the 11 seed.
Instead of Syracuse (in his beautifully handwritten bracket), "The Creator" picked Michigan to win it all over Duke, with Villanova and Cincinnati also making it to the Final Four. Gonzaga, Virginia, Kansas and Texas Tech are the rest of his Elite squad.
Self-proclaimed "Bro #1" Gordie Jr. is breaking away from the norm as usual with Purdue becoming NCAA champions over Michigan, with Tennessee and Kansas in the Final Four, and an Elite Eight made up of Virginia, Xavier, Villanova and Michigan State.
Tragically, Maryland -- where Dan G., Chris (before transferring to Arizona) and Mojo played football -- was cut out of both the NCAA and the NIT tournaments for the first time since 2014. So Dan went the UNC-and-Duke route instead, with the Tar Heels winning it all.
Dan has some other interesting picks, with his home city of Buffalo making it to the Elite Eight opposite Cincinnati, and Xavier, Purdue, Kansas and Villanova rounding out the rest.
Chris has Michigan State trumping Gonzaga but also has Wichita State and Kentucky making the Final Four. He's even got Nevada going to the Elite Eight! Along with Butler, Kansas and Michigan.
Since the tournament began in 1939, UCLA has the most titles with 11, while Kentucky has eight and UNC six.
Which Gronk do you think will have the last laugh?
