Q: How to offset the cartopy coastline to fit the actual data? I am trying to plot a simple satellite image from an HDF5 file using imshow() with cartopy. However my map doesn't exactly overlap with the correct region. Following is the sample code -
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import cartopy.crs as ccrs
import cartopy.feature as cfeature

import numpy as np

# First get data from HDF5 file with h5py:
fn = '/home/swadhin/project/insat/3DIMG_15JUN2022_0930_L1C_ASIA_MER.h5' #filename (the ".h5" file)
with h5py.File(fn) as data:
    # retrieve image data:
    image = 'IMG_TIR1'
    img_arr = data[image][0,:,:]
    # get _FillValue for data masking
    img_arr_fill = data[image].attrs['_FillValue'][0]

# retrieve extent of plot from file attributes:
    left_lon = data.attrs['left_longitude'][0]
    right_lon = data.attrs['right_longitude'][0]
    lower_lat = data.attrs['lower_latitude'][0]
    upper_lat = data.attrs['upper_latitude'][0]
    sat_long = data.attrs['Nominal_Central_Point_Coordinates(degrees)_Latitude_Longitude'][1]
img_extent_deg = (left_lon, right_lon, lower_lat, upper_lat)
print(img_extent_deg)
img_arr_m = np.ma.masked_equal(img_arr, img_arr_fill, copy=True)
map_proj = ccrs.Mercator(central_longitude=sat_long)
ax = plt.axes(extent = img_extent_deg,projection=map_proj)
ax.coastlines(color='white')
ax.add_feature(cfeature.BORDERS, edgecolor='white', linewidth=0.5)
ax.add_feature(cfeature.STATES,edgecolor = 'red',linewidth = 0.5)
ax.gridlines(color='black', alpha=0.5, linestyle='--', linewidth=0.75, draw_labels=True)
map_extend_mer = ax.get_extent(crs=map_proj)
plt.imshow(img_arr_m, extent=map_extend_mer, cmap = 'gray')
plt.colorbar()

How ever the plot generated ranges slightly below from 10S and hence, the features are not correctly displayed. For example the clouds which should be over Gujurat region are now on Pakistan border.
Update 1: The problem was resolved after I added the latitudinal extent in the map projection.

map_proj = ccrs.Mercator(central_longitude=sat_long, min_latitude= lower_lat,max_latitude=upper_lat)

A: The problem was resolved after I added the latitudinal extent in the map projection.
map_proj = ccrs.Mercator(central_longitude=sat_long, min_latitude= lower_lat,max_latitude=upper_lat)

A: I get unexpected behaviour whenever I specify central_longitude.
I cannot tell you the reason as I have not investigated it in detail.
But simply initialize the projection without the central_longitude, simply call ccrs.Mercator(). You can then use the ax.set_extent(area_extent, crs) to limit the view area to your roi.

Q: SQL coding issue, error "An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'or'." I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and have not got any closer. I get the error:

An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a
  condition is expected, near 'or'.

My SQL query is:
SELECT Pitch.Location_id
FROM PITCH
WHERE (((Pitch.Location_Id) Not In
(SELECT Location_Id FROM BOOKING
          WHERE BOOKING.StartDate or BOOKING.EndDate
                 NOT BETWEEN '2014-06-08'  AND '2014-07-08')) AND
((PITCH.Type_name)='Delux') AND ((PITCH.Available)=1))

If I remove the or BOOKING.EndDate, the query works perfectly.

A: Try this (as @tinka suggested above):
SELECT Pitch.Location_id
FROM   PITCH
WHERE  ((Pitch.Location_Id) Not In
          (SELECT Location_Id FROM BOOKING
           WHERE BOOKING.StartDate NOT BETWEEN '2014-06-08' AND '2014-07-08'
              OR BOOKING.EndDate   NOT BETWEEN '2014-06-08' AND '2014-07-08'))
           AND   ((PITCH.Type_name)='Delux') AND ((PITCH.Available)=1))

A: This is the query you should try. Note that the inner query is still in sargable syntax.
SELECT P.Location_id FROM PITCH P
   WHERE
     P.Type_name='Delux' AND
     P.Available=1 AND
     P.Location_Id NOT IN
      (
         SELECT Location_Id FROM BOOKING B
           WHERE
             B.StartDate < '2014-06-08' OR
             B.StartDate > '2014-07-08' OR
             B.EndDate   < '2014-06-08' OR
             B.EndDate   > '2014-07-08'
       )

Now the reason why you received that error was because

WHERE BOOKING.StartDate or
  BOOKING.EndDate NOT BETWEEN '2014-06-08'  AND '2014-07-08'

is evaluated like Booking.Startdate being OR-ed with BOOKING.EndDate NOT BETWEEN '2014-06-08'  AND '2014-07-08'. The latter yields a boolean result of true false but the former expression Booking.StartDate is not boolean.

Risplith is a village in the civil parish of Sawley, in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is about  west of Ripon on the B6265 road to Pateley Bridge. The name is believed to derive from Old Norse of slope overgrown with brushwood.

The hamlet was previously in the Wapentake of Claro. An ice-cream manufacturer works in the village with a shop and restaurant where passers-by can stop and watch ice-cream being made. In 2018, it was named as one of Britain's best ice-cream parlours by The Daily Telegraph.

Transport to Ripon and Harrogate is provided by the three times daily bus service (each way).

The above image, Sojourner Basket, is a collaborative piece: the work of all four artists. The making of this and the other works of this exhibit have been transformative for us. We look forward to sharing them with you.
In the days ahead, on this site, each of us will tell our own story of the making of this basket to include what we have learned and what parts of our lives are intertwined in the making of it. We will also share thoughts about meaning and trust we have gained in our collaborative relationship through the development of this project. Thank you for joining us.
Our journeys, of which there are many, led us to New Mexico where we found one another at various times. Belinda and Harriette, in Santa Fe at the time, shared ideas and friendship for several years. Later Harriette and I met during Harriette's sojourn at Picuris Pueblo. The three of us did our first collaboration for a show at Encaustic Art Institute in the summer of 2010. Belinda and I were invited by Harriette, an institute founder, to enter our collaborative pieces; When Crow Mother Came, and Dawning of the Mesa. This experience introduced us to the reality that we plan well together, have a similar sensibility around our imagery, and make collaborative work that is beautiful and cohesive. So the group began.
In Summer of 2011, in Santa Fe, there was a summer long, city-wide collaborative project called "Mining the Unconscious" based on the work and Redbook of the renowned psychologist, Carl Jung. Harriette wrote the original proposal for the project, and was the organizing lead for getting the second show off the ground.
And it was really a fabulous show. Belinda was instrumental in organizing and producing the vast array of workshops that happened in Santa Fe during the project. I organized the volunteer activities and information materials we used during art exhibit number 2. This is when we met the fourth member of our group, Betsie, who lives in Jemez Springs. She was the installation expert for our exhibit, based on years of experience at San Francisco Art Museum.
We did not make a collaborative art piece for the show, but feel the show itself to be an enormous collaboration that brought us together. We have, since then, been working on the Creation/Migration: Stories of the Journey project. That's another story, and we will tell you all about it as we add to this blog.
Our friendship, trust and respect for each other's work grew through each project. We want this blog to be about that journey, as well as the individual journeys that brought us to this place in time.
These last four images are of works from the "Mining the Unconscious II" exhibit. Top to bottom: "Pollen Men", Harriette Tsosie, "Sacred Ground", Donna J Caulton, "Memory", Belinda Edwards, "Corazon Salvaje", Betsie Miller-Kusz.

Mehmet Degerli: Husband 'murdered his estranged wife's new lover in Dalston car park', court hears
Published: 10:22 AM December 1, 2016 Updated: 10:41 AM October 14, 2020

A spurned husband strangled and ran over his estranged wife's new lover in a Dalston car park, a court heard.
It is claimed Mehmet Degerli, 49, was killed by Huseyin Akkoyun and his nephew Mustafa Alparslan, 20, of Remington Road, Stoke Newington, on the night of June 7.
Both men deny murder.
Peter Finnigan QC told jurors at Southwark Crown Court yesterday: "At the period when the marriage was breaking down, Semra Yumak and Mehmet Degerli began to see each other privately and their friendship turned into an affair.
"They were careful to conceal the affair, not least because they feared what happened if others discovered what was going on.
"It turns out Mr Akkoyun did find out what was going on, and the prosecution say that was likely to be the motive for the attack on Mr Degerli."
Jurors heard how father-of-two Mr Degerli had met up with Akkoyun's estranged wife for a secret tryst in her car in Navarino Road.
But when they drove back she claims she saw the defendants in a Mitsubishi Colt, owned by Alparslan's mother, in Sandringham Road.
Prosecutors claim the victim was "forced or lured" into the car just after midnight where he was "viciously attacked and beaten".
The 49-year-old, from Stoke Newington, was discovered by a passer-by collapsed in a small residents' car park at the junction with Cecilia Road just after 1am on June 8, jurors heard.
Mr Finnigan described how Omar Naz "immediately realised something was very wrong" when he saw a man lying on the ground "completely motionless".
Paramedics tried to save his life at the scene, but his heart was not beating and was pronounced dead just before 2am. Blood was "trailing" from his head, it was said, and there was bruising across his eyes and nose, as well as across his back with what looked like "gravel rash".
He was found to have wounds to his scalp, and one of his shoes and one of his socks were missing. They have never been recovered despite extensive police searches.
A pathologist who carried out a post-mortem on the body found Mr Degerli had multiple fractures to his ribs and shoulder blades. A small bone in his neck by his larynx had also been fractured, and this along with bruising of his neck and eye led them to conclude his neck had been compressed – possibly by some sort of ligature, causing asphyxia.
They estimate sustained pressure was applied to his neck for 20 to 30 seconds, which could have rendered him unconscious, jurors heard.
Injuries to his back were "so severe" the pathologist formed a view "they were consistent with him having been run over by the tyre of the vehicle," Mr Finnigan told the court.
Akkoyun had been "a close friend" of Mr Degerli, it was said, and had been living in a flat in Homerton High Street since he moved out of his family home in April.
Mr Finnigan described how the older defendant "hadn't taken the breakdown of his marriage well".
He was served with a harrassment warning by police on May 16 – three weeks before the alleged murder – after his wife had "seen him repeatedly sitting outside in the road in his car for hours and hours watching her home", where she lived with their four children.
On the night in question, the court heard Mr Degerli had parked his Nissan Qashqai in Sandringham Road, before getting into Mrs Yumak's car at 10.30pm. They returned just after midnight, when Mrs Yumak claims she spotted the two defendants in the front seat of a Mitsubishi Colt near the Qashqai.
Mr Finnigan said: "She recognised them despite the fact they sunk down into the seats, they had caps on and pulled up their jackets."
She continued driving and turned right into Abersham Road where she claims she saw her estranged husband's empty Vauxhall Zafira, the jury was told.
"Mehmet said he would check to see if anyone was around and he would make his way back to his own car. That was the last time she saw him alive," said Mr Finnigan.
Mrs Yumak was allegedly called at 3am by her close friend, Degerli's own wife Fikreyi, who was in tears and had heard the news about her husband's death.
"At first she concealed she and Mehmet Degerli were having an affair, denying she had been with him on the night he died, but she didn't conceal it for long," said Mr Finnigan.
Akkoyun was stopped by police later that day, who noticed his hands were "extremely swollen", it was said. He told a doctor he had injured his hands when he had fallen over.
Two days later police went to Alparslan's home, where he told them: "I know what this is about and I see you looking at my hands. I knocked them on the bed."
A police officer checked his laptop and saw he had been searching for "how to speed up healing" on the internet, as well as searches for solicitors and barristers speicalising in criminal law, the court was told.
Spots and smears of Mr Degerli's blood were found in the rear and front of the Colt car, as well as on the steering wheel of Akkoyun's Zafira, it is claimed.
Akkoyun answered "no comment" to all questions when interviewed, as did Alparslan until a fourth interview when he provided a prepared statement.
Mr Finnigan told the court Alparslan had denied any "foresight of any assault or murder", but had gone along on his uncle's request to get video evidence of the affair so he could get custody of their children, and "prove the fact she left the children unattended at home".
He claims Mr Degerli and his uncle had been arguing in the back of his car and a fight had broken out between them which he tried to break up. His uncle then pulled Mr Degerli out of his car and told him to leave – which he did – and he had not seen his uncle since.
The trial continues.

Q: How to restore lost contacts/address book? I suddenly have only 2 contacts in my Contacts! I have a MacBook Pro, am using OS 10.9.2. Following instructions from another answer, I looked for Address book folder in the library/App. Support folder and it is not there. So couldn't proceed.
In Time Machine yesterday it shows "Address book Forwarder". But I don't know what that means, but perhaps it had something to do with my loss? Does this mean I sent my address book somewhere? Looks like it!
I don't know how to use Time Machine to restore my contacts. The restore button is grayed out. Nothing happens when I double click the Contacts folder there, so I don't know how to copy the content, nor where to paste it since I do not have that folder in the Library that you mention.
I do not use iCloud. I do have files backed up on an external drive, but don't know how to use it.
I know this sounds like a mess and it seems to be.

A: If you use Time Machine, just open the Contacts app, and THEN go to Time Machine (Click on the menubar icon / Enter Time Machine)

Once there, you can "travel in time" to an older date and find the missing contact. This is where you select the contact and click "Restore".

You don't need to restore a folder or file, but the contact (in the Contacts app) itself.

A: I also do not use iCloud.  My phone was so full (especially documents & data which seem impossible to delete without restoring the phone) that I ended up backing up my phone and restoring it to factory (with the new iOS8).  Anyway, since iTunes won't let me pick and choose what I want to restore from the backup, I lost all my contacts.
I went to my phone, settings, iCloud and turned the on CONTACTS only and a few seconds later, all of my contacts appeared.  I'm not sure (because I have so many) if it's maybe from a prior life when I tried to use iCloud or where it came from but it looks like everyone's there.
It's very simple to try at least.  Hope it helps.

Americans are paddling in record numbers, according to the Outdoor Industry Foundation. About 22 million Americans are paddling, the most popular vessels are recreational kayaks. Stand up paddle boards are growing in popularity every year.
Paddle crafts are a flexible, fun way to be outdoors and stay in shape, but like any other water sport, safety has to be the top priority.
"The most important safety step paddlers can take is to wear a personal flotation device or life jacket when on the water," said Liz Lodman, FWP boat education coordinator.
• Check your craft for leaks.
• Map a general route and timetable when embarking on a long trip. Arrange for your vehicles to be shuttled to the takeout point.
• Know the weather conditions before you head out. While paddling, watch the weather and stay close to shore. Head for shore if the waves increase.
• Always wear a lifejacket, and know how to swim in a river current.
• Never paddle alone. Bring along at least one other boater. If unfamiliar with the waterway, paddle with someone who is knowledgeable about it.
• Never overload the craft. Tie down gear, and distribute weight evenly.
• Maintain a low center of gravity and three points of contact. Keep your weight balanced over the center of the craft.
• Standing up or moving around in a small craft can cause it to capsize—a leading cause of fatalities among paddlers.
• Leaning a shoulder over the edge of the craft also can destabilize it enough to capsize it.
• Stay alert at all times; and be aware of your surroundings, including nearby powerboats. Be prepared to react when dangerous situations arise.
• Practice reboarding your craft in the water with the help of a companion.
The American Canoe Association has video series that provides valuable information to persons paddling recreational kayaks, fishing kayaks, and stand up paddle boards. Visit www.americancanoe.org/WebTV to view the video clips.

The material weight of safety sweatshirts can be confusing. For example, the Gildan Heavy Blend sweatshirts are lighter than the Gildan DryBlend or Jerzees Super Sweats sweatshirts. The Heavy Blend and mid-weight sweatshirts are great for layering or wearing when the weather is just a bit cool.
Many find the sweatshirts are cut a bit short, particularly if you are over six foot tall. Check out the PC90HT TALL sweatshirt - a very popular choice.

Updating the $3 Million Ping Pang Pong Upgrade
The restaurant is taking over the Gold Coast showroom
by Bradley Martin Feb 15, 2017, 1:31pm PST
Via All Coverage of Gold Coast [ELV]
Share All sharing options for: Updating the $3 Million Ping Pang Pong Upgrade
Ping Pang Pong
It's rare to see incredibly popular Chinese restaurant Ping Pang Pong without a line leading out onto casino floor, but a major new upgrade at the Gold Coast should help alleviate the wait time.
Work has begun demolishing the interior of the Gold Coast's dormant showroom to build an upgraded Ping Pang Pong inside. An earlier update mistakenly reported the existing restaurant would be demolished. During the construction work it remains business as usual at the original home, still serving lunch and dim sum from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m and dinner from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m.
The restaurant will fill 5,749 square feet, with a maximum occupancy of 301 and created with an estimated $3.1 million construction budget. Removing the showroom will leave the resort with plenty of bonus space to reconfigure and the possibility to fill the Ping Pang Pong space with a new tenant.
No timetable for completion has been announced.
Kevin and Karrie Wu created Ping Pang Pong in 2001 and added Noodle Exchange to the resort in 2009. Their Noodle Asia has been a fixture at the Venetian since 2000.

This content analysis examined the use of gender stereotypes, in the forms of product association and various traditional behaviors expected of a particular gender, in children's advertisements aired on Nickelodeon network. Results of the study revealed that although children's commercials appear to be breaking away from some long-standing gender stereotypes, such as boys being the dominant gender in athleticism, many of the same gender stereotypes that researchers have been investigating for decades remain prevalent today. Results indicate that commercials on Nickelodeon network favor boy characters in overall time on-screen. Girls-only commercials made up the lowest percent of commercials in the sample. Even male narrators were preferred for voice-overs. Additionally, children's commercials continue to reinforce the social expectation that boys play with construction and transportation toys, while girls play with dolls and stuffed animals. Enduring behavioral stereotypes include the idea that boys are competitive and aggressive, while girls are nurturing and domestic. Lastly, the gender association of girls playing indoors and boys playing outdoors remains a prevalent stereotype within children's advertisements.


As soon as the weather begins to warm, chickens across the world begin to think of hatching eggs and raising baby chicks. But they're not the only ones. Spring also begins humans thinking about hatching eggs and raising baby chicks. Of course the way we do it isn't nearly as natural and our success rates vary. Still, with practice and knowledge we can get just about as good. Human success rates for incubating eggs is about 80% while hens are at 90%. Not bad.
Chickens are usually the first livestock the aspiring farmer purchases and if you don't have any of these fluffy critters running around your yard, you should really consider it. Here at Flip Flop Ranch, we have a few hundred of them, but our start in farming began with only one.
Betty was a Frizzle with curly feathers. She was raised in a cage on my bathroom counter, wore diapers around the house and pecked at the door to go in and out. I remember being so proud when she laid her first egg…on the dining room floor.


Infants were followed longitudinally to document the relationship between docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels and the development of attention. Erythrocyte (red-blood cell; RBC) phospholipid DHA (percentage of total fatty acids) was measured from infants and mothers at delivery. Infants were assessed in infant-control habituation at 4, 6, and 8 months augmented with psychophysiological measures, and on free-play attention and distractibility paradigms at 12 and 18 months.
Infants whose mothers had high DHA at birth showed an accelerated decline in looking over the 1st year and increases in examining during single-object exploration and less distractibility in the 2nd year.
These findings are consistent with evidence suggesting a link between DHA and cognitive development in infancy.

More about Jeff Beck
JEFF BECK will tour the U.S. (with one Canadian date in Toronto) this fall in support of the newly released, highly anticipated musical collaboration with Johnny Depp, 18. Dates Begin September 23 in Texas before winding up November 12 in Reno, NV. The tour will focus on the new album as well as explore Beck's legendary career through instrumentals like "You Know You Know," "A Day in the Life" and "Brush with the Blues." The tour will include BECK's current band: bassist Rhonda Smith, drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Robert Stevenson.
BECK and DEPP's 13-track album, 18, debuted at #10 on both the Billboard Top Albums and Top Current Albums charts marking the first top 10 for both Beck and Depp on the 31-year-old Top Album Sales chart. The set is available on CD and digitally, with a 180-gram black vinyl version coming on September 30. The duo recently wrapped a successful European tour together on July 25 in Paris, France to much fan and critical acclaim with sold-out dates throughout northern Europe, Italy and France – including a stop at the revered Montreux Jazz Festival.
Jeff Beck found a kindred spirit in Johnny Depp when the two met in 2016. They bonded quickly over cars and guitars and spent most of their time together trying to make each other laugh. At the same time, Beck's appreciation grew for Depp's serious songwriting skills and his ear for music. That talent and their chemistry convinced Beck they should make an album together.
Depp agreed and they started in 2019. Over the next three years, they recorded a mix of Depp originals along with a wide range of covers that touches on everything from Celtic and Motown, to the Beach Boys and Killing Joke. "We were going to call the album 'Kitchen Sink' because we threw everything in it," the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer says with a laugh. "The only game plan we had was to play songs we like and see where they took us."
Beck is universally acknowledged as one of the most talented and significant guitarists in the world and has played alongside some of the greatest artists of rock, blues, and jazz. Over the course of his distinguished 50+ music career, he has earned an incredible eight Grammy Awards, been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," and been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice – once as a member of the Yardbirds and again as a solo artist. In the summer of 2016, the guitar virtuoso celebrated his five decades of music with an extraordinary concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl with special guests including Buddy Guy, Steven Tyler, Beth Hart, Billy F. Gibbons and Jan Hammer.

If you are thinking about having more children, we want to help you get yourself in the best place possible. So we have some health considerations and tips to help you prepare for more children.
Conception odds. The better you take care of your health, the higher your chances of a successful conception will be.
Habits and early conditions. Improving your healthy practices before pregnancy also establishes a behavior trend you'll need to maintain throughout the pregnancy, and create generate healthy conditions for your body all along.
Use your time when you have it. Finally, you'll have more free time before the pregnancy than you will during or after it. Use your time wisely to catch up on sleep, fitness, and health.
Get plenty of sleep. First of all, get as much sleep as you can. As you probably learned with your first child, having a baby means you'll be scraping by on just a few hours every night. Now's the time to rest and prepare yourself for the many and irregular waking hours to come. On top of that, getting a good night's sleep every night can also increase your chances of conception by as much as 6 percent.
Visit the doctor. You should also see a physician before you attempt to get pregnant on your own. Talk to your doctor about your current health, your plans, and how to prepare for the entire process — even if you've been through it before. He or she will be able to give you more specific recommendations, and the resources you need to become pregnant and stay healthy throughout that period.
Take folic acid. There's evidence to suggest that taking folic acid supplements for at least a month before conceiving can reduce the risk of neural tube defects (including spina bifida) by 70 percent or more. If you plan on getting pregnant in the near future, start taking supplements now.
Eliminate harmful substances. If you smoke tobacco or drink alcohol on a regular basis, you'd be wise to quit before you get pregnant, or at least scale back how much you indulge. Although this is not medically necessary, it can make it much easier to quit when you get pregnant, and reduce or eliminate withdrawal symptoms while you're carrying a child.
Do some exercise. Even if you're busy with your first youngster, there's no excuse for failing to make time to exercise. It's always possible, but more difficult when you're pregnant, so use the time beforehand to get in shape. Extra workouts will get your body in better shape, relieve some of the stress of carrying a child and taking care of the newborn, and give you some "you time" that you may not enjoy as much over the next few years.
Moderate your caffeine intake. If you're a die-hard coffee drinker, this is a good time to moderate your levels of caffeine ingestion. Rather than quit cold turkey when you get pregnant, start cutting back gradually on how much coffee you drink per day, or switch to tea as a way to wean yourself.
Avoid environmental risks. When you're pregnant, environmental risks could pose a threat to you or the baby, including the seemingly innocent ones like toxic household cleaners or pesticides. Take some time before your pregnancy to identify any of these environmental hazards that currently play a role in your life, and try to reduce or eliminate them before you seek in earnest to get pregnant.
These health measures won't be completely life-changing, nor are they particularly difficult, but they will help your body and mind prepare for another child (and in some cases, increase your chances of conceiving).
They're worth the small amount of effort it takes to act on the… so make your health a top priority!

Q: How to process tap on push notification banner at password-locked iOS device? I process push notification at
application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:)

method in AppDelegate.swift module
When application is active I show my own banner in application window:
if application.applicationState == .active {
    // create banner
    banner.show()
}

When application is in background iOS show system banner and my application receive info when application.applicationState has .background value. If user tapped the banner application receive data again but application.applicationState is .inactive - in this case I opens entity item that info was received in notification.
But when the device is locked with a password (ie requires code or fingerprint):

*

*Application receive notification data only when user did tap the banner, not immediately as in just background mode (when device is not password-locked)

*After unlock application state is still .background
How can I differ background state after password-unlocking and background without locking?
I did try set flags by processing
applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication)

and
applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication)

events but
application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:)

calls earlier

A: You can identify whether the device is currently locked using the isProtectedDataAvailable property of UIApplication
let isUnlocked = UIApplication.shared.isProtectedDataAvailable

You can then use the combination of isUnlocked and applicationState to determine that you are in the background but that the device is locked and process accordingly.
Note that isProtectedDataAvailable will always return true if data protection isn't enabled on the device (e.g. no passcode is set).

A: I think below thread will solve your problem:
How to differentiate between screen lock and home button press on iOS5?
I haven't tried it but people says its working perfectly fine and even no issue with app approval process.

Strong tradition, bright future
29 Mar Strong tradition, bright future
Paul Denton, CEO, Scottish Building Society (SBS), tells us what Scotland's oldest building society is doing to stay new.
The Scottish building society is the world's oldest mutual, member-owned society with such a long and illustrious history—174 years to be exact. Would you give a rapid overview of your organization and share with us its key singularities?
We are indeed the oldest remaining building society in the world. Scottish Building Society was founded in 1848, and we have stuck very true to our original business model of being a savings and mortgage business, one that offers a fair rate of return to our savers. We have no shareholders, because of the mutual model, so there are no dividends paid out to corporate institutions or to individual investors. All of our profits are either kept for future investment or are paid out to our savers. The second part of our business model is mortgages for residential lending. We focus on members' main residences, not commercial lending or inter-business.
This strategy has stood us through meaningful change. We have lived through the Spanish flu, the Great Depression, two world wars and the financial crisis. Although COVID-19 was clearly alarming and disruptive, it is not necessarily something new from the point of view of the society's history. Over the course of the last 174 years, we have grown sustainably over that period, and, more recently, the mutual model has really been welcomed within Scotland and across the U.K. as a whole. Despite having record low interest rates, 2021 will be our most successful year ever for profits, which is a great testament to the business model. It is one based on simplicity, but equally based on a true focus of being member owned.
What have been some of the key drivers that explain this exceptional performance amid the COVID-19 pandemic?
Fortunately, we had been doing a fair bit of work regarding the brand of Scottish Building Society at the end of 2019. Going into 2020, perhaps we had good timing, but our brand was on a growth trajectory. In the early part of the pandemic, or certainly through the summer period, the U.K. and Scottish governments sought to keep the housing market open. There was relief offered via stamp duty, and that created a surge in demand for new homes and new mortgages across the U.K. We were able to stay open. Unlike many of the large banks, we were not distracted because we did not have payments or business lending, and our model was simple.
Savers or most households could not go on vacation; they were not commuting to work; and they were not living their normal lives of entertaining. In fact, the vast majority of households in the U.K. actually increased their savings during that period and that helped our funding. At the same time, the government stimulated the housing market through tax relief. We essentially had both funding and the demand coming through within the housing market. Frankly, we would like to think that we had done the legwork concerning our own brand ahead of the outbreak.
In 2020, the society grew its mortgage book by 22 percent in one year alone. Of the 40 city building societies in the U.K., we had the number one growth by percentage. I would quickly preface that by saying that we are not the biggest building society in the U.K., but our percentage growth in 2020 was the highest.
Glasgow has been at the center of global attention with COP 26, an important moment as Scotland has been earmarked as being highly vulnerable to the impacts of rising sea levels and extreme weather, which will have a damning impact on gross domestic product. How is SBS playing its part in the transition to a greener, more sustainable economy?
We have several focus areas or themes that we look at when we are looking at our own commitment to climate. We are clearly a member of the community, so we measure our own carbon footprint. We chose not to measure it last year because we felt it would have been a bit of a cheat, because with people working from home, we did not have the same level of consumption. However, in 2019 we calculated our carbon footprint and we sought to offset that by investing in Trees for Life, which is a charity that rewilds the Scottish Highlands. While that made us carbon neutral, it did not make us carbon zero. We are looking at our overall property strategy internally, referring to how we can continue to reduce our carbon footprint.
As a lender, there are two aspects to what we are doing. First, regarding the rising temperatures and sea level, we have partnered with a company called Ambiental,h who have taken every single property that we lend on and have been able to forecast them forward over 30-to-50-year horizons, based on the different temperature increases and the scenarios that have been outlined both globally and by the U.K. regulator. That has given us a good sign as to what level or what percentage of our lending book may have issues. I am pleased to say that it is relatively small, but there is no question that over that long-term horizon, you do see the impact of growing temperatures. The work that we have done with Ambiental, who has been doing this for years for the insurance industry, has been incredibly insightful for us.
Perhaps much more importantly, how do we, as a lender, play our part to help households to reduce their carbon footprint individually? We pride ourselves on being a very personal and flexible lender. We do not look at mortgages on an algorithmic or scoring level. Every case is personally reviewed and underwritten. Therefore, we understand not only the property that is being bought, but, equally, the improvements that a customer would like to make to them. We can offer finance on a flexible level to help customers who want to upgrade their house, either at the time of purchase or if they are an existing owner; and we can help with equity release for retrofit activities, whether it be solar panels or heat pumps.
Similarly, we also do self-build mortgage lending. This is very popular in Scotland, particularly in the northern region and out on the islands, where there is a good deal of traditional or large-scale home builders. Many houses are built on an individual basis and, as such, what we find is that many consumers take their carbon footprint incredibly seriously. As a significant lender in the self-build market, we like to think that we offer that flexibility for new homes from now on.
We are also active in Scottish financial enterprise and, equally, you may have seen that the Scottish government aligned with the U.K. government, with the timing around COP, created some relevant government policies. The Scottish government initiative is referred to as the Heat in Buildings Strategy, whereby all homes over the course of the next 10 years need to move toward a Band C energy performance. That will be challenging but, nevertheless, as a lender we will support our members, and any potential new members, with their home improvements to help move towards a minimum of Band C. There are quite a few different things that we have both underway, and more that will come through in the future, as well.
You also opened a new office in Aberdeen recently, which is against the trend. What are your intentions with this sizable investment and why is this important for SBS?
We recognize that branch banking has changed considerably. I have been a banker now for 33 years. Much of my time has been involved in retail distribution or branch banking, and I have seen momentous change over that period, as well as observed the opportunity of what a branch should be going forward. In the past, a typical bank was very transactional, and that is why people came in, queued at counters, and made relatively fast, but short transactions. Much more now, that has all moved online, and, when a customer comes into a bank or a building society, it is generally because they are looking for advice or they want to talk to somebody in person. For me, that is moving it from transactional banking to relationship banking.
Although we opened up a new office in Aberdeen, it actually comprises armchairs and only a couple of desks in the back-office area. If you come in as a customer, you will be seated in a very comfortable area having a cup of coffee talking to us in almost a living room or a lounge type environment. You may come in to, unfortunately, discuss a bereavement or a complaint or you will come in to get advice on a new mortgage or moving home, just to name a few scenarios. Whatever the case may be, it is not just a two-minute transaction. The situation is more about offering advice or help. We have positioned ourselves strategically across the key cities in Scotland. Our offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness and now Aberdeen give us the footprint for those infrequent but hugely significant branch visits. When you do come, it will be a comfortable relationship feel, rather than a fast transactional encounter.
In this digitalized world, how do you see the necessity for a hybrid approach with many people perhaps preferring face-to-face interaction still. How do you see that balance going forward?
It has been talked about for some time, but we still absolutely need to offer the customers a choice, and we do that proudly here at Scottish Building Society. We still have a considerable proportion of our customers who hold their savings in passbook accounts, meaning they physically have a small book which records their transactions. That is very popular with our customers. However, equally to be sustainable going forward, we want to attract a new generation to our building society, but we also need to offer flexibility across channels. It is not just about younger people wanting digital and older people wanting face-to-face. Actually, it is a combination of the two. We find that our younger members want to transact with us digitally, but take their advice in person because they are less experienced in financial matters. On the other hand, our older customers enjoy the experience of actually coming in and speaking to us in the relationship format that I mentioned earlier. SBS runs with a dual strategy which we foresee happening for at least the next five to 10 years, fostering physical relationships while offering online capability as well.
SBS recently scooped up the Building Society of the Year award for the third year in a row, and you were named Business Leader of the Year at the Scottish Mortgage Awards. With a 33-year career in various board and management positions, what have been the main objectives during your time at the helm of SBS, and what ambitions might you have going forward?
I am quite proud of those accolades. We have been around for over 170 years, but the digital revolution which we are living through now means that we do require to change. Although we will retain the dual approach I have just described around physical relationships whilst offering online service, the background resilience of our core frame or our data has had to be upgraded substantially. We have moved the vast majority of our systems into a cloud environment now and we will be fully cloud by mid-2022. Therefore, there is a lot that our membership does not see, such as a significant upgrading from a digital cloud perspective, something creating the infrastructure that will take us forward. Over the course of the last three years, our balance sheet has increased by 40 percent, so we genuinely have a level of momentum going within the brand now.
What is your outlook for 2022? How optimistic are you about the Scottish economy and its recovery for the next couple of years?
There are clearly a number of pressures, but I am going to make the forecast on the basis that the vaccine remains successful, and with my fingers very much crossed on that, but if we can sustain health, the economy will continue to improve over the course of the next few years. Thankfully, unemployment has not risen to the extent that people feared after the various COVID-19 issues. Scotland is a beautiful country, and I am sure, as international travel opens up, we will see our tourist industry flourish again.
As we look to next year, and we are preparing our own five-year cycle, we are anticipating that the economy will still grow. From a building society or bank perspective, we are not expecting arrears to rise, and that is an important thing for the people. They should have low unemployment and low levels of financial distress. I suppose the one grey area that we have on the cloud, and this is a global picture rather than just one that we have here in Scotland, is whether inflation will come through with everything that is happening across energy prices and various other things. We are foreseeing higher levels of pay rises linked to inflation, and that is probably the one area in which we have the greatest level of uncertainty and perhaps concern going into next year.
Do I have confidence that the Scottish economy will come through this strong? Yes. Through the support that the government has provided, but proportionately just the underlying entrepreneurship that continues to remain here within Scotland, I believe it will.
Scotland is a beautiful country. We look forward to you all coming back to visit us soon. Scotland has a history of innovation and entrepreneurship when you look back over a long period of time. For this, I am exceptionally confident that this standard will continue going forward. Anybody looking to invest in Scotland only has to look at our history as the source of confidence that they would need.

Q: Is this projection linear? $\mathbb{R}[X]\to\mathbb{R}[X], f\mapsto f' $ Show that this projection is linear: $\mathbb{R}[X]\to\mathbb{R}[X], f\mapsto f' $
I know that, for a projection to be linear it needs to satisfy the following:
$ \forall \lambda , y \in \mathbb{R} ,\; \forall u,v\in\mathbb{R}^n : A(\lambda u + yv)=\lambda (A(u))+y(A(v))$
This is not very difficult to show with numerical examples such as:
$\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2, (x,y)\mapsto (^{3x\ +\ 2y}_{4x\ +\ \;y})$
However I am pretty clueless on how to answer this  $f\mapsto f' $ question. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to solve this.

A: Let $\mathbb{R}[X]$ the polynomial ring over the reals. For each polynomial $f(x) = a_n X^n + \ldots + a_1 X + a_0 \in \mathbb{R}[X]$ the formal derivative is defined as
$$f'(x) = na_n X^{n - 1} + \ldots + a_1 \in \mathbb{R}[X].$$
Now we show that the map $\mathbb{R}[X] \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}[X], \ f \longmapsto f'$ is linear, i. e. $(\lambda f)' = \lambda f'$ for all $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ and $f \in \mathbb{R}[X]$ and $(f + g)' = f' + g'$ for all $f, g \in \mathbb{R}[X]$.
Let $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ and $f$ defined as above. It follows
\begin{align}
(\lambda f)' &= (\lambda ( a_n X^n + \ldots + a_1 X + a_0))' \\
&= (\lambda a_n X^n + \ldots + \lambda a_1 X + \lambda a_0)' \\
&= (n\lambda a_n X^{n - 1} + \ldots + \lambda a_1) \\
&= \lambda ( na_n X^{n - 1} + \ldots + a_1) \\
&= \lambda f'.
\end{align}
Now let $g(x) = b_mX^m + \ldots + b_1 X + b_0 \in \mathbb{R}[X]$. Without loss of generality, let $n \geq m$ (otherwise interchange the roles of $m$ and $n$). So we have $b_k = 0$ for all $k \in \mathbb{N}$, such that $m + 1 \leq k \leq n$. I. e. , we can write $g(x) = b_n X^n + \ldots + b_1 X + b_0$. It follows
\begin{align}
(f + g)' &= \left ( \sum_{k = 0}^n a_k X^k  + \sum_{k = 0}^n  b_k X^k \right)' \\
&= \left ( \sum_{k = 0}^n (a_k + b_k) X^k \right)' \\
&= \sum_{k = 1}^n k(a_k + b_k) X^{k - 1} \\
&= \sum_{k = 1}^n ka_k X^{k - 1} + \sum_{k = 1}^n kb_k X^{k - 1} \\
&= f' + g',
\end{align}
so the linearity is proven.

Japan-Guam-Australia Cable promises design capacity of 36 Tbps
Tuesday, April 03, 2018 ASN, Japan, NEC, Submarine Cable, Subsea
Construction has commenced on the Japan-Guam-Australia Cable (JGA), a 9,500-kilometer undersea fiber optic cable system will deliver a design capacity of more than 36 terabits per second (Tbps) and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
JGA is being co-built by Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) and NEC.
JGA South (JGA-S), the segment between Sydney, Australia and Piti, Guam, is a consortium cable including AARNet, Google and RTI-C.
JGA North (JGA-N), the segment between the Minami-Boso, Japan and Piti, Guam, is a private cable with RTI-C as the sole purchaser. Both JGA-N and JGA-S will interconnect in Guam at GTA's newly built landing station.
Toru Kawauchi, General Manager of NEC's Submarine Network Division said, "We are honored to be selected once again by RTI-C to construct their third subsea cable. While both SEA-US and HK-G will provide horizontal East-West connectivity across the Pacific, JGA will now provide the much-needed vertical North-South connectivity, enabling high capacity communications to reach all corners. Furthermore, JGA will be the second project after HK-G to be co-financed by the Japanese government-led Japan ICT Fund, and the third project supporting RTI's investment after SEA-US and HK-G for the Japanese loan syndicate. We wish to further utilize these funds for many more cables in the future."

Spirent adds scale testing for the new TLS v1.3 encryption protocol
Tuesday, April 03, 2018 Spirent, Testing
Spirent Communications has expanded the functionality of its CyberFlood and Avalanche solutions by adding performance and scale testing for the new TLS v1.3 encryption protocol.
The new functionality enables testing and stressing traffic capacities on TLS v1.3-enabled devices and endpoint applications.
TLS (transport layer security) enables secure communication between web browsers and servers on the Internet. TLS v1.3 is the latest version and is quickly becoming the de facto encryption standard.
"TLS v1.3 will ultimately improve security and privacy for Internet users; however, there is risk with new standards and new potential holes in customers' security," said David DeSanto, director of products and threat research at Spirent Communications. "With Spirent's performance and scale testing of this bleeding edge cryptographic standard, customers can validate that they are securely deployed, that they can achieve their desired performance, and that they know where the skeletons are in their TLS v1.3 deployments. With this capability, Spirent is helping to secure the future of the connected world."

Osetia Północna (oficj. Republika Osetii Północnej – Alania, , Riespublika Siewiernaja Osietija – Ałanija, ) – jedna z autonomicznych republik wchodzących w skład Federacji Rosyjskiej, położona na Kaukazie Północnym.

Geografia
Osetia Północna, zwana także Alanią, należy do Federacji Rosyjskiej. Leży na północnym skraju dużego kaukaskiego grzbietu górskiego, oddzielającego Kaukaz Północny od Kaukazu Południowego. Po drugiej stronie gór leży Osetia Południowa, należąca do Gruzji.
Osetia Północna ma powierzchnię ok. 8 tys. km² i liczy około 700 tys. mieszkańców, z czego ok. 25% stanowią Rosjanie. Prawie połowa ludności mieszka w stolicy, Władykaukazie, która w czasach radzieckich nosiła nazwę Ordżonikidze.

Republika graniczy na południu z Gruzją i wchodzącą formalnie w jej skład separatystyczną Osetią Południową, na zachodzie z Kabardyno-Bałkarią, na wschodzie z Czeczenią i Inguszetią. Rosja leży na północy. Prawie 2 tysiące kilometrów dzieli Władykaukaz od Moskwy.

Stolicą Osetii Północnej jest Władykaukaz. Inne miasta to Ardon, Ałagir, Digora, Mozdok i Biesłan.

Strefa czasowa
Osetia Północna należy do moskiewskiej strefy czasowej (MSK). UTC +3:00 przez cały rok. Wcześniej, przed 27 marca 2011 roku, obowiązywał czas standardowy (zimowy) strefy UTC+3:00, a czas letni – UTC+4:00.

Zmiany struktury narodowościowej
Zmiany struktury narodowościowej Osetii Północnej na podstawie danych spisowych:

Religie

Zdecydowana większość mieszkańców kraju wyznaje prawosławie. Istnieje także mniejszość muzułmańska, którą tworzą głównie Ingusze oraz przedstawiciele innych kaukaskich mniejszości narodowych. Także wśród Osetyjczyków, w zdecydowanej większości prawosławnych istnieje kilkuprocentowa mniejszość wyznająca islam sunnicki.

Języki
Status języka urzędowego na terenie Osetii posiadają na równi język rosyjski i osetyjski.

Język rdzennych mieszkańców kraju – Osetyjczyków posiada dwa główne dialekty: zachodnioosetyjski digoron oraz wschodnioosetyjski iron, który stał się podstawą opracowania języka literackiego i do którego zalicza się także dialekt tual, którym posługuje się ludność Osetii Południowej. Język osetyjski zachował wiele archaicznych cech, charakterystycznych dla języków irańskich (m.in. zachowanie przypadków), natomiast jego fonetyka jest pod silnym wpływem sąsiednich języków kaukaskich. W słowniku widoczne są silne wpływy języka rosyjskiego.

Historia

Alanowie, przodkowie dzisiejszych Osetyjczyków, osiedlili się w Osetii Północnej prawdopodobnie już w IV w. po Chr., gdy spokrewnione z nimi plemiona Sarmatów zostały podbite przez Hunów. W następnym okresie rozwinęli system feudalny i w IX w. przyjęli chrześcijaństwo.

W XIII w. w wyniku najazdów Mongołów Alanowie przenieśli się w odległe doliny i góry Kaukazu. Świadectwem tych wojen do dzisiaj są wysokie baszty obronne, w których ludność chroniła się przed wrogami. W późniejszym czasie Osetia coraz bardziej zwracała się ku Rosji, szukając wsparcia w konfliktach z muzułmańskimi Turkami Osmańskimi, Tatarami Krymskimi, a także z Czeczenami i Inguszami.

Ostatecznie w drugiej połowie XVIII w. do Rosji udali się wysłannicy, którzy w drodze rokowań doprowadzili do przyłączenia Osetii do Rosji.

Po rewolucji październikowej Północna Osetia najpierw stanowiła część Górskiej ASRR, a po jej rozwiązaniu otrzymała autonomię jako Północnoosetyjski Obwód Autonomiczny. W 1936 autonomię poszerzono i powstała Północnoosetyjska ASRR.

Po rozpadzie ZSRR i proklamowaniu niepodległej Rosji, Północnoosetyjska ASRR jako Osetia Północna-Alania uzyskała status podmiotu Federacji Rosyjskiej.

Osetia Południowa
Osetia Południowa w okresie ZSRR stanowiła obwód autonomiczny w ramach Gruzińskiej SRR. Po dojściu do władzy w Gruzji nacjonalistycznego prezydenta, Zwiada Gamsachurdii, który domagał się Gruzji dla Gruzinów, Osetia Południowa uchwałą osetyjskiej Rady Najwyższej proklamowała niepodległość. W odpowiedzi na to Gruzja anulowała autonomiczny status Osetii Południowej i uznała to terytorium za część Gruzji, wskutek czego doszło do brutalnych zamieszek, a w latach 1992-1993 – gdy odwołano pospiesznie wysłane w ten rejon oddziały specjalne rosyjskiego Ministerstwa Spraw Wewnętrznych – do wojny. Ta zakończyła się 24 czerwca 1992 zawieszeniem broni, którego realizację nadzorował obserwator Organizacji Bezpieczeństwa i Współpracy w Europie (OBWE), jak również rosyjskie siły pokojowe. Status Osetii Południowej do dziś nie jest wyjaśniony i nie ma perspektyw na rozwiązanie tego problemu.

Problem graniczny z Inguszetią
Na początku lat 90. Osetia Północna i Inguszetia wplątały się w konflikt zbrojny o wschodnią część rejonu prigorodnego, który obydwa narody traktowały jako należący do ich kraju. Problem dotyczący przynależności tego rejonu zaczął się w 1944, kiedy to po likwidacji Czeczeńsko-Inguskiej ASRR zamieszkujący dotychczas ten rejon Ingusze zostali w ramach stalinowskich represji deportowani do Kazachstanu, a obszar ten włączono do ówczesnej Północnoosetyjskiej ASRR. Mimo reaktywowania Czeczeńsko-Inguskiej ASRR (1957) i powrotu większości Inguszy do dawnych domów, tereny te pozostawiono w składzie Osetii. W konsekwencji konfliktu z lat 90. kilka tysięcy Inguszy, mieszkających dotąd w rejonie prigorodnym i w innych częściach Osetii Północnej, została wypędzona, a ich domy przydzielono uciekinierom z Osetii Południowej. Do dzisiaj kwestia ta nie została rozwiązana, zaś wypędzeni Ingusze żyją w większości w obozach dla uchodźców.

Prezydenci Osetii Północnej
 Achsarbek Gałazow 1994–1998
 Aleksander Dzasochow 1998–2005
 Tajmuraz Mamsurow 2005–2015
 Tamerlan Aguzarow 2015–2016

The use of precedent i...
A Supreme Court merits brief serves an informational purpose, supplying the justices with a case's history, legal arguments, and proposed resolution. While providing this information, however, attorneys use their discretion over the briefs' language to turn these documents into carefully constructed documents of persuasion. Attorneys use the briefs to define the issues on which the Court will decide the case, frame the justices' perception of it and make arguments designed to help win the case. In a common law system like the United States, where legal precedents are the primary legal building blocks, these early decisions by attorneys can influence the Court's eventual decisions. While many studies examine how Supreme Court opinions expand or restrict the scope of existing law, no such analysis—so far as we know—takes up how litigants themselves present these arguments to the Court in the written brief. This is important because existing norms prevent the Court from addressing issues and topics not formally presented to it by the litigants. In this chapter, we provide an initial look at the use of legal authority in litigant briefs. Using data collected from a random sample of Establishment Clause cases, we compare human and computer-based approaches for identifying both when precedent is used and, more importantly, how it is used by a litigant. We also examine the determinants of whether the Court ultimately follows the arguments offered by a brief.

Celine Dion, another blow, she lost her voice, her return postponed
admin 2 months ago No Comments
At the microphone of RTL, Erick Benzi, faithful songwriter of the singer, gave news of Celine Dion. And they are not good. They are not good. The Quebec diva would not be about to make her big comeback on the front of the stage.
The mum-of-two would still be in the impossibility of performing on stage and singing.
Still very vulnerable, she was even forced to cancel the studio recording of the song La Mémoire d'Abraham, organized for the release of the album L'Héritage Goldman, vol. 2 (which will be released on December 2).
