Q: React checkboxes don't reset after submitting form I'm quite new to React, so I decided to make a skincare app to learn the beast. I thus made a form to register the products, and this form contains checkboxes. My problem is, I cannot for the life of me get them to reset (empty?) after submitting the form. All the answers I've found were either too old or didn't work.
import React, { useState } from "react";
import styles from "./ProductForm.module.css";

const ProductForm = (props) => {

//Frequency checkboxes handler functions
  const [isDayChecked, setDayChecking] = useState([]);

  const dayFrequencyHandler = (event) => {
    const { value, checked } = event.target;
    // Case 1 : The user checks the box
    if (checked) {
      setDayChecking((checkedDays) => [...checkedDays, value]);
    }
    // Case 2  : The user unchecks the box
    else {
      setDayChecking(isDayChecked.filter((e) => e !== value));
    }
  };

  const [isNightChecked, setNightChecking] = useState([]);

  const nightFrequencyHandler = (event) => {
    const { value, checked } = event.target;
    // Case 1 : The user checks the box
    if (checked) {
      setNightChecking((checkedNights) => [...checkedNights, value]);
    }
    // Case 2  : The user unchecks the box
    else {
      setNightChecking(isNightChecked.filter((e) => e !== value));
    }
  };

//Submission function
const submitHandler = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
//Save data from the inputs
    const savedProductData = {
      isDayChecked: isDayChecked,
      isNightChecked: isNightChecked,
    };

//Reset the inputs after submit
    setDayChecking([]);
    setNightChecking([]);
}
return (
//JSX code for checkboxes inputs (day and night)
<form onSubmit={submitHandler}>
      Frequency

M

      <input
        type="checkbox"
        value="Monday"
        name="day"
        onChange={dayFrequencyHandler}
      />
      <input
        type="checkbox"
        value="Monday-night"
        name="night"
        onChange={nightFrequencyHandler}
      />
      <button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
 );
}

export default ProductForm;

As you can see, these checkboxes are used to register at what frequency the products are going to be used (one checkbox for the morning and one for the night, for each day of the week). The data is then stored into the empty array of useState(), or removed when the user unchecks its box. That part works fine.
What doesn't work fine though, is my submit function that refuses to clear the checkboxes once called. The most logical solution to me would be to reset the checkboxes' state to their original, well, state of empty arrays, like this:
const submitHandler = (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();

    setDayChecking([]);
    setNightChecking([]);
  };

React obviously disagrees, since it doesn't work. The checkboxes are still checked on the form even after I submitted it. But if I call my submit function again (aka re-click on the submit button without checking anything again) without touching anything, the data (savedProductData)I console-logged tells me my checkboxes states are indeed set back to empty arrays. So clearly there isn't any data left in my state arrays once I've submitted the form. Yet the checkboxes still appear checked instead of being cleared out.
I guess my question would be, why don't the checkboxes appearing on the screen automatically clear when I submit my form and their states are back to empty arrays? And how do I get them to do so?
Thanks in advance!

A: Here is fully working example of how to use checkbox. Understand the underlying concepts and write similar components. You cannot say checked={arrayData.includes(true)}. It is not wrong in javascript. But imagine if you have more than two value in array and we are gonna map it in React. For example, your array is [true, false, true, true, false]. Checkbox should not have two same value data and you should not pass boolean value to checkbox. In your question, you did not provide your array's data types. In my example, it is string and there is no same data.
const App = () => {
  const arrayData = ["1", "two", "not boolean", "something more", "and more"];
  const [myArray, setMyArray] = React.useState([]);

  const onSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    // do submit
    setMyArray([]);
  };

  const onChange = (e) => {
    e.target.checked
      ? setMyArray([...myArray, e.target.value])
      : setMyArray(myArray.filter((o) => o != e.target.value));
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
      {arrayData.map((item) => (

          <input
            value={item}
            onChange={onChange}
            checked={myArray.includes(item)}
            type={"checkbox"}
          />
          {item}

      ))}
      <input type={"submit"} />
    </form>
  );
};
export default App;

If you don't have array and you want to use checkbox with boolean value. Here it is.
const App = () => {
  const [showPassword, setShowPassword] = React.useState(false);

  const onSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    // do submit
    setShowPassword(false);
  };

  const onChange = (e) => {
    setShowPassword(e.target.checked);
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={onSubmit}>

          <input
            onChange={onChange}
            checked={showPassword}
            type={"checkbox"}
          />
          Show Password

      <input type={"submit"} />
    </form>
  );
};
export default App;

We watched Insomnia last night, another great movie by Christopher Nolan (who's just one year older than I, what am I doing?) It's similar to Sean Penn's The Pledge in many ways. Both screenplays were written by Europeans who come from cold snowy countries, if that explains anything. With these two movies these young directors (both were just directing their third feature, so there till have lots of room to improve) are fine heirs to Clint Eastwood (see for instance Unforgiven.) Penn especially shares his sometimes desperate tenderness for humanity, while Nolan is more clinical, but is younger too, and certainly more promising as a director, as far as craftsmanship goes.
I like movies that don't impose their pre-chewed simplistic moral statements on the audience. Are you willing to do some dirty work in order to achieve what you deeply feel to be right? To what point does the end justify the means? Until the means contradict the end? Can you break some of the rules you're meant to protect to enforce those that matter most? Are you sure of your judgment, or even of the accuracy of the sensory perceptions and memories you base it on? Tough questions. Context matters. But there's hope among the grim realism. The loss of innocence doesn't mean the moral compass needs to be totally lost.
By the way I've always thought the best movies reviews wouldn't even mention the plot, though they're obviously the toughest to write.
The idea that the State enforces higher moral ideals upon individuals and private groups is wrong in so many ways, grounded that it is in a hating mistrust in people. Leave it to an American to nail down the necessity of civil disobedience. Going back in time to shoot Hegel before he got to write anything would be a very revealing historical experiment. Can you weed out humanity's worst ideologies and save countless millions of deaths by just killing one man? Wouldn't poisonous ideas mushroom elsewhere anyway?

Heroic Poets, Poetic Heroes: The Ethnography of Performance in an Arabic Oral Epic Tradition (Myth and Poetics)
by Dwight F. Reynolds
An astonishingly rich oral epic that chronicles the early history of a Bedouin tribe, the Sirat Bani Hilal has been performed for almost a thousand years. In this ethnography of a contemporary community of professional poet-singers, Dwight F. Reynolds reveals how the epic tradition continues to provide a context for social interaction and commentary. Reynolds's account is based on performances in the northern Egyptian village in which he studied as an apprentice to a master epic-singer. Reynolds explains in detail the narrative structure of the Sirat Bani Hilal as well as the tradition of epic singing. He sees both living epic poets and fictional epic heroes as figures engaged in an ongoing dialogue with audiences concerning such vital issues as ethnicity, religious orientation, codes of...

SECRET MESSAGES: An Investigation into the Subliminal Messages in Junior Fiction, from a Christian Perspective.
by Ann Fox
DESCRIPTIONWhilst carrying out extensive research into the world of children's books, covering nearly one thousand stories, I have discovered amongst their pages widespread distortion of Christian truth, such that would confuse the issues of good and evil and affect both family life and society in profound ways. Despite advancing technology, books are as much in demand as ever, with young readers greatly influenced by their fictional friends. Over several years, as a teacher, school-governor and mother, I have gathered together the evidence into a thorough but easy-to-read review entitled "Secret Messages".Considering the materialistic age we live in, it is surprising how many stories have a "religious" setting, with supernatural powers, rituals and values which are far from Chri...

Gender and Genre in the Folklore of Middle India (Myth and Poetics)
by Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger
In Gender and Genre in the Folklore of Middle India, Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger analyzes six representative Indian folklore genres from a single regional repertoire to show the influence of their intertextual relations on the composition and interpretation of artistic performance. Placing special emphasis on women's rituals, she looks at the relationship between the framework and organization of indigenous genres and the reception of folklore performance. The regional repertoire under examination presents a strikingly female-centered world. Female performers and characters are active, articulate, and frequently challenge or defy expectations of gender. Men also confound traditional gender roles. Flueckiger includes the translations of two full performance texts of narratives sung by fem...

The Literariness of Media Art
by Claudia Benthien
The beginning of the 20th century saw literary scholars from Russia positing a new definition for the nature of literature. Within the framework of Russian Formalism, the term 'literariness' was coined. The driving force behind this theoretical inquiry was the desire to identify literature—and art in general—as a way of revitalizing human perception, which had been numbed by the automatization of everyday life. The transformative power of 'literariness' is made manifest in many media artworks by renowned artists such as Chantal Akerman, Mona Hatoum, Gary Hill, Jenny Holzer, William Kentridge, Nalini Malani, Bruce Nauman, Martha Rosler, and Lawrence Weiner. The authors use literariness as a tool to analyze the aesthetics of spoken or written language within experimental film, vi...

Language between God and the Poets: Ma'na in the Eleventh Century (Berkeley Series in Postclassical Islamic Scholarship Book 2)
by Alexander Key
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In the Arabic eleventh-century, scholars were intensely preoccupied with the way that language generated truth and beauty. Their work in poetics, logic, theology, and lexicography defined the intellectual space between God and the poets. In Language Between God and the Poets, Alexander Key argues that ar-Raghib al-Isfahani, Ibn Furak, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani shared a conceptual vocabulary based on the words ma'na and haqiqah. They used this vocabulary to build theories of language, mind, and reality that answered perennial questions: how to structure language and reference, how to describe G...

The Renaissance Reader
by Kenneth Atchity
As the transition period between the Middle Age and modern times, the Renaissance is perhaps the most distinguished age since that of Classical Greece. Moreover, the consciousness of our time was largely formed by those who were given the freedom to express themselves by the rebirth of the art and sciences of the Renaissance.The Renaissance Reader allows the men and women of that turbulent time of change to speak in their on voices--sane and insane, brilliant and mundane, inspired and possessed, oblivious and decisive. Organized chronologically and covering the fourteenth through the seventeenth centuries, the book provides readers with the literary and artistic; social, religious, and political; and scientific and philosophic texts that shaped Renaissance thinking from the death of Dante ...

Culture and Cognition: The Boundaries of Literary and Scientific Inquiry
by Ronald Schleifer
This groundbreaking book challenges the disciplinary boundaries that have traditionally separated scientific inquiry from literary inquiry. It explores scientific knowledge in three subject areas—the natural history of aging, literary narrative, and psychoanalysis. In the authors' view, the different perspectives on cognition afforded by Anglo-American cognitive science, Greimassian semiotics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis help us to redefine our very notion of culture.Part I historically situates the concepts of meaning and truth in twentieth-century semiotic theory and cognitive science. Part II contrasts the modes of Freudian case history to the general instance of Einstein's relativity theory and then sets forth a rhetoric of narrative based on the discourse of the aged. Part III exami...

Speaking the Unspeakable in Postwar Germany: Toward a Public Discourse on the Holocaust (Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought)
by Sonja Boos
Speaking the Unspeakable in Postwar Germany is an interdisciplinary study of a diverse set of public speeches given by major literary and cultural figures in the 1950s and 1960s. Through close readings of canonical speeches by Hannah Arendt, Theodor W. Adorno, Ingeborg Bachmann, Martin Buber, Paul Celan, Uwe Johnson, Peter Szondi, and Peter Weiss, Sonja Boos demonstrates that these speakers both facilitated and subverted the construction of a public discourse about the Holocaust in postwar West Germany. The author's analysis of original audio recordings of the speech events (several of which will be available on a companion website) improves our understanding of the spoken, performative dimension of public speeches. Speaking the Unspeakable in Postwar Germany emphasizes the social constr...

But now, in November 1531, Charles V has sent his Spanish officials to this 'nest of heretics' in the Netherlands, determined to rid his empire of all those who refuse to attend the state church. The obstinate shall be executed unless they swear allegiance to the Holy Roman Emperor and the Catholic church, and citizens must report any disloyal activity they notice or suffer the same fate. But Anna can hardly betray Maeyken, her only friend in Amsterdam. The last thing Anna will do is listen to the Anabaptists, let alone join the traitorous sect!

Poetics as a Theory of Everything
by Ira Livingston
Drawing on poetics and visual art as well as philosophy and the science of complex systems, Ira Livingston's Poetics as a Theory of Everything explores what our seemingly most artificial conceptual constructs (such as poems and metaphors) and even the most illegitimate offspring of the human brain (such as drug-induced hallucinations) can tell us about the natural processes that shape living creatures and other systems.Reviewers have described Livingston's previous books as "lucid, playful, and reader-friendly," "exhilarating and moving," and "high-level discursive performance art full of conceptual kicks."Poetics as a Theory of Everything begins by considering current obsessions with both sustainability and imminent apocalypse-- symptoms of the postmodern condition-- and follows them down...

Becoming Bestsellers: John Grisham and Danielle Steel (Sample from Chapter 2 of THE BESTSELLER CODE)
by Jodie Archer
This sneak peek teaser - featuring literary giants John Grisham and Danielle Steele - from Chapter 2 of The Bestseller Code, a groundbreaking book about what a computer algorithm can teach us about blockbuster books, stories, and reading, reveals the importance of topic and theme in bestselling fiction according to percentages assigned by what the authors refer to as the "bestseller-ometer."Although 55,000 novels are published every year, only about 200 hit the lists, a commercial success rate of less than half a percent. When the computer was asked to "blindly" select the most likely bestsellers out of 5,000 books published over the past thirty years based only on theme, it discovered two possible candidates: The Accident by Danielle Steel and The Associate by John Grisham.The co...

Transmedial Narration: Narratives and Stories in Different Media
by Lars Elleström
This open access book is a methodical treatise on narration in different types of media. A theoretical rather than a historical study, Transmedial Narration is relevant for an understanding of narration in all times, including our own. By reconstructing the theoretical framework of transmedial narration, this book enables the inclusion of all kinds of communicative media forms on their own terms.The treatise is divided into three parts. Part I presents established and newly developed concepts that are vital for formulating a nuanced theoretical model of transmedial narration. Part II investigates the specific transmedial media characteristics that are most central for realizing narratives in a plenitude of different media types. Finally, Part III contains brief studies in which the narrati...

Building a National Literature: The Case of Germany, 1830–1870
by Peter Uwe Hohendahl
Building a National Literature boldly takes issue with traditional literary criticism for its failure to explain how literature as a body is created and shaped by institutional forces. Peter Uwe Hohendahl approaches literary history by focusing on the material and ideological structures that determine the canonical status of writers and works. He examines important elements in the making of a national literature, including the political and literary public sphere, the theory and practice of literary criticism, and the emergence of academic criticism as literary history. Hohendahl considers such key aspects of the process in Germany as the rise of liberalism and nationalism, the delineation of the borders of German literature, the idea of its history, the understanding of its cultural funct...

Transfigured World: Walter Pater's Aesthetic Historicism
by Carolyn Williams
Exploring the intricacy and complexity of Walter Pater's prose, Transfigured World challenges traditional approaches to Pater and shows precise ways in which the form of his prose expresses its content. Carolyn Williams asserts that Pater's aestheticism and his historicism should be understood as dialectically interrelated critical strategies, inextricable from each other in practice. Williams discusses the explicit and embedded narratives that play a crucial role in Pater's aesthetic criticism and examines the figures that compose these narratives, including rhetorical tropes, structures of argument such as genealogy, and historical or fictional personae....

Bread and Circuses: Theories of Mass Culture As Social Decay
by Patrick Brantlinger
Lively and well written, Bread and Circuses analyzes theories that have treated mass culture as either a symptom or a cause of social decadence. Discussing many of the most influential and representative theories of mass culture, it ranges widely from Greek and Roman origins, through Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Ortega y Gasset, T. S. Eliot, and the theorists of the Frankfurt Institute, down to Marshall McLuhan and Daniel Bell. Brantlinger considers the many versions of negative classicism and shows how the belief in the historical inevitability of social decay—a belief today perpetuated by the mass media themselves—has become the dominant view of mass culture in our time. While not defending mass culture in its present form, Brantlinger argues that the view of culture implicit in negative ...

PROTECTING PATIENTS' CONFIDENTIALITY IS CRITICAL FOR HEALTH OFFICIALS, SAYS DR. WILKINSON
April 17, 20200249
Basseterre, St. Kitts, April 17, 2020 (SKNIS): Patient confidentiality is of utmost concern for the Ministry of Health and health institutions in St. Kitts and Nevis. Medical Chief of Staff of the Joseph N. France General Hospital, Dr. Cameron Wilkinson, cited this as the primary reason behind the decision to curtail some information regarding COVID-19 confirmed cases.
Previous announcements of confirmed cases of the Novel Coronavirus included the age, sex, nationality, and the island where the person resides. How the virus was contracted was also given. The information was shared as part of the Ministry of Health's commitment, and that of the government, to be fully transparent. Unfortunately, the details have led to a frenzied guessing game on social media and created an unhelpful campaign of misinformation.
"When you give a significant amount of information as it relates to the race, age, and gender, persons have been tracking down persons and doing some of the worst things that you would expect people not to be doing in a [pandemic] like this," Dr. Wilkinson stated. "Putting persons' pictures on Facebook etc. Sometimes they have [posted] the wrong picture. Now, what are we to do, call and say that is the wrong person so that when they have the right person, we say oh you have the right person? We need to protect persons confidentiality."
The medical chief of staff noted that many countries merely list the number of confirmed cases during public briefings. However, he indicated that local authorities will still provide critical information for public safety and health as it relates to positive results.
"What we will do, in time, is provide the data so that persons can look at the trends and so maybe at the end of the month we would say of the 14 [confirmed] cases they were divided by age, sex etc.," he said.
Dr. Wilkinson added, "For all those persons out there who are saying 'yes we should give this information out' you would say yes until it is you, your mother, your father. And sometimes persons only understand the severity of a situation when it touches home."
The JNF official shared that he knows what some persons went through when they were "tracked down" and insisted "we need to protect every single one."

Over a year ago I got the strangest and most delightful invitation from Christoph Bartneck to pop over to New Zealand for a week to write a book on Human-Robot Interaction. He might as well have asked me to hop up mount Everest on a pogostick – who in his right mind believes a book can be written in a week, but I could use some distraction, so together with Selma Šabanović, Takayuki Kanda and Friederike Eyssel we met up with Christoph and Merel Keijsers in Christchurch. From there we had a road trip to a field station on the west coast of South Island, where we set up of camp for five days. Under the cracking whip of a book sprint coach (and much to my surprise) we managed to write a sprawling first draft of an introductory book on Human-Robot Interaction. Cambridge University Press was keen on our draft and over the last year we painstakingly revised it, checking our claims, finding key references, sourcing illustrations and making the book a coherent introduction to the meandering field that is Human-Robot Interaction.
Cambridge University Press is dotting the i's and crossing the t's as I write this, and we're looking forward to receiving our the first print of the book. In the meantime we have a website www.human-robot-interaction.org where we'll collect online material which paper doesn't do justice, such as a timeline of social robots.
We descended on this year's Human-Robot Conference (HRI) with 10 people from the Plymouth team: a research budget breaking record. I gave a keynote at the Personal Robots for Exercising and Coaching workshop and the Cognitive and Social Neuroscience Methods for HRI workshop, Daniel Hernandez co-organised the Social Robots in Therapy: Focusing on Autonomy and Ethical Challenges workshop, we presented our alt.HRI paper and had a clutch of Late Breaking Results to show.
This was the largest HRI edition so far, with about 650 delegates. What struck me was the large presence of industry at the conference, probably fuelled by the recent feeding frenzy around AI and robotics, but also showing that HRI is maturing and that applications are now becoming market ready.
We couldn't resist shooting a band cover at the Chicago waterfront, from left to right Fotios Papadopoulos, Tony Belpaeme, Charlotte Edmunds, Christopher Wallbridge, Emmanuel Senft, Maddy Bartlett, Bahar Irfan, Mina Marmpena (Daniel Hernandez and Serge Thill not showing).
I am very excited about Dr Séverin Lemaignan joining us in a few months. Séverin will be working on his DOROTHY project, short for "Donating Robots a Theory of Mind", for which he received funding from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme. As humans we take a Theory of Mind very much for granted, the skill to understand what others know, what they are thinking and what they are about to do is almost magic. It is only when someone's ToM is impaired or completely lacking that you realise how crucial a tool it is. No longer having access to what people around you know and think about their environment and about others leaves you very much on the back foot when trying to respond appropriately in a social environment. Unfortunately, as with so many skills that seem natural to us humans, a Theory of Mind is very difficult to build for a robot. Séverin will join us from EPFL in the summer of 2015 to try and do just that: build an artificial Theory of Mind.
PhD opportunity – we are looking for a team mate!
Update: this position has been filled. We're welcoming Emmanuel Senft to the team from October 2014 onwards.
We are looking for a team mate!
This is the age of robots, where robots are not just found in factories picking and placing things, but will enter our daily lives: places where no robot has ever gone before. However, robots currently have limited autonomous social capabilities. For this to change, advances in artificial intelligence need to be matched up with advances in robotics.
This PhD looks into the science and technology of action selection for social humanoid robots. Given sensor input, prior knowledge and dose of social cognition, would it be possible for the robot to autonomously respond in a social manner? Currently almost all social robots need a human hand to operate well: the "Wizard of Oz" idea, where a human operator takes over when the robot is stuck. What is needed to move away from WoZ and build fully autonomous social interaction?
You will be working in the context of the DREAM project (www.dream2020.eu), a multinational European project which studies the science and tech behind the robot-enhanced therapy (RET), specifically targeted at young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. DREAM uses a range of robots, but through its collaboration with Aldebaran the use of the Nao humanoid is central to our research.
Applicants should have (at least) a first or upper second class honours degree in an appropriate subject and preferably a relevant MSc or MRes qualification. We encourage applicants with a background in computer science, artificial intelligence, robotics and/or cognition science.
We expect candidates to be confident programmers (C++ experience recommended): you will spend a considerable amount of time programming and hacking robots and their artificial intelligence, which is not for the fainthearted. A keen interest in science and discovery is a prerequisite, as is not being afraid of international travel to meetings and events.
If you wish to have an informal chat, please contact Tony Belpaeme (tony.belpaeme@plymouth.ac.uk) or contact any of the mad people in the lab. However, applications must be made via the official application site.
More details on funding and the application process can be found at FindAPhD. Applications close at noon on Monday, 28 July 28 2014. Quick!

Where does the phrase "blowing one's top" come from and What does it mean?
Possibly the "top" in the expression "blowing one's top" alluded originally to the top of a volcano, which would be shot into a thousand pieces with a tremendous noise during a violent explosion and scattered over the neighborhood with a devastating effect.
"Blow," at least, has been used in the sense of "to erupt; to go to pieces by explosion" for several centuries.
Much the same effect occurs when, in modern slang, a person "blows his top." He lets off steam in a violent explosion of temper; he shouts; he cares not a whit where or upon whom the pieces may fall.
In short, he gets furious with rage.
The expression is also used in a far milder sense: a crazy person, that is, or a person who is befuddled by drink and acts brainless is now sometimes said to have blown his top.

Apple World Today > Archived Post > Notable apps and app updates for July 21, 2016
On a regular basis, Apple World Today posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they're popular and deserve mention. Here are today's picks.
Mac OS X Apps/Updates
MailButler, the Apple Mail assistant by Feingeist Software GmbH, has added a new feature: "Snooze," which allows users to better control their inbox by temporarily making selected emails disappear for a scheduled amount of time.
MailButler allows you to schedule an email to be sent at a specific date and time. For example, you can compose birthday emails ahead of the actual date. You just define the exact date when you want to send the email, and MailButler takes care of the rest.
MailButler also allows you to convert your emails into notes. This includes formatting, file attachments, tags, reminder date and other meta information. Notes contain a direct reference to the source email from which it was created.
MailButler requires Mac OS X Yosemite or El Capitan. A demo is available for download; registration is $8.95
iOS Apps/Updates
Literature & Latte, creators of Scrivener for Mac and Windows, have given us a $19.99, iOS version of the writing app for Mac OS X and Windows. Designed for novelists, screenwriters, journalists, academics, lawyers, and others, it allows you to, among other, things, outline every last detail first, hammer out a complete draft and restructure later, or do a bit of both.

The result of the clean-up work is almost as good as a new building in terms of its useful life.
During the "inliner process" a flexible hose treated with a special resin is pulled through the sewer after it has been cleaned. When pressed against the pipe wall it hardens.
Side pipes are then opened again, the ends of the hose are ground down, cleaned and the junctions are carefully sealed. And this extends their service life for a further 30 to 50 years.
For localised individual damage, we opt for maintenance: we seal the sewer using robot vehicles. These robots mill, drill and grind. And the Aquatec experts monitor the process via TV cameras. The "part liner technique" is possible for individual damage from a diameter of 100 mm: a multi-layer glass fibre mat soaked in special resin is pressed into the defective section. This extends the service life by 20 to 50 years.

Q: Getting rid of trailing \n in Ansible Jinja2 if statement I've been looking at about 10 stackoverflow posts by now and nothing has solved my issue. I am trying to set a variable to either a predefined value or a new generated value. I am using the Ansible Jinja2 if statement for this purpose.
I did try using Jinja2 whitespace controls ({%- -%}) and they work for whitespaces as described. | trim didn't work as well. The trailing \n still exists.
Problem: When using Ansible Jinja2 if it keeps adding "\n" to the string.
Sample:
---

- name: Example Playbook
  hosts: localhost

  tasks:
    - name: Set password
      set_fact:
        password: "Testing"

    # Supposed to go route {{ password }}
    - name: Set Password 1
      set_fact:
        password1: >
          {% if password is defined -%}
            {{ password }}
          {%- else -%}
            {{ lookup('password', '/dev/null length=10 chars=ascii_letters,digits') }}
          {%- endif %}

    # Supposed to go route {{ lookup... }}
    - name: Set Password 2
      set_fact:
        password2: >
          {% if notexist is defined -%}
            {{ password }}
          {%- else -%}
            {{ lookup('password', '/dev/null length=10 chars=ascii_letters,digits') }}
          {%- endif %}

    # Directly setting password3 via {{ lookup... }}
    - name: Set Password 3
      set_fact:
        password3: "{{ lookup('password', '/dev/null length=10 chars=ascii_letters,digits') }}"

    - name: Output Passwords
      debug:
        msg: "Password1: '{{ password1 }}', Password2: '{{ password2 }}', Password3: '{{ password3 }}'"

...

Output:
TASK [Output Passwords] ****************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "Password1: 'Testing\n', Password2: 'DawDj7sXEb\n', Password3: 'F9rHw3StT6'"
}

Adding - to the if statements does remove whitespaces but not the '\n'. I need the string without the newlines.
Thanks for your help!

A: Okay this is resolved.
It was not something that Jinja2 if caused but rather YAML multiline handling >. I simply added a - to the > resulting in >- and the \n was gone.

ZOLITA - COME HOME WITH ME
Zolita + Jacqueline de Gorter
An unapologetically queer female gaze in this music video inspired by historic sapphic paintings
23-year-old singer Zolita's new single 'Come Home With Me,' is her latest feminist, LGTBQIA+ alt-pop song, and with it, the music video she co-directed with her partner Jacqueline de Gorter is a shining addition to the queer pop music legacy. The song is about picking up a girl at a party, but it also describes sexual exploration, and challenges stereotypical heteronormative narratives. Zolita has expressed how important queer representation in music and on screen is to her and to society, and her primary mission is to make music and work that speaks to the underrepresented and the marginalised. 'Come Home With Me' is inspired by vintage sapphic imagery, showing Zolita and Jacqueline being intimate in a way that severs the male gaze, and is a much appreciated addition to queer culture.
When Jacqueline and I came up with the concept for the video, it was more about an aesthetic choice, because we thought it would be cool to recreate sapphic paintings throughout history. But as we started to look into the paintings we wanted to create, we realized that most of them were done by men. So then we started thinking about how, throughout history, men have taken ownership of queer female experiences and then capitalized on them. We wanted to take that and recreate it from our own perspective, because we're actually two queer women in a queer relationship.

Ehrhard Johann(es) Brumhard (* 1692 in Coburg; † 10. Juli 1732 in Jena) war ein deutscher evangelischer Theologe und Pietist. Er stammte aus Franken und war einer der drei Söhne des Coburger Amtsverwesers Johann Benedikt Brumhardt. Während des Studiums hatte er u. a. Kontakt zu August Hermann Francke. So blieb es nicht aus, dass auch Ehrhard Johann sich dem Halleschen Pietismus näherte. Er hielt sich längere Zeit in Pölzig auf. In Jena, dem Wirkungsort seines Bruders Johann Sebastian Brumhard, erhielt er am 6. Februar 1729 eine Anstellung als Diakon an der Stadtkirche St. Michaelis in Jena. Aus diesem Anlass erschien Das Verschiedene Urtheil im Verlag Ritter in Druck. Er wirkte außerdem als Pfarrer in Wenigenjena bei Jena. Seine Predigten wurden von Jenaer Studenten recht häufig besucht. Nach seinem frühen Tod im Alter von 40 Jahren setzte sein Bruder Johann Sebastian Brumhard sein Wirken in den Studentenkreisen Jenas erfolgreich fort.

Sometimes we can feel like although there are people all around us we are completely alone and no on cares in that moment how we are feeling and what is happening in our lives.
As a second year nursing student effected by the 6 week college strike, it often felt like throughout the strike our political figures didn't see the 500,000 students out of class as people and just a number.
Our professors here at Nipissing don't treat you as if you are a number, they see the people that are struggling to cope with the now condensed semester. My nursing prof who teaches both my courses effected by the strike immediately sent out a check in email and asked us all to answer a survey on how we were feeling emotionally and what she could do to help ease our levels of stress and anxiety. At larger universities when the class size average is 150 students or higher it would be seemingly impossible for the prof to read all of their students responses to a survey. However, my professor had read every single survey by the time our 8:30 class had started this morning and came with a list of questions we had submitted and answered every single one.
As finals near often the level of anxiety and stress increase and with the added threat of having to stay beyond the exam period to finish up classes is above your head it can quickly lead you to burnout.
Because my prof has been able to get all of our inputs through her survey and the suggestions we submitted through the Nursing Society on campus, we won't have to forfeit anytime away from home over the holidays.
When looking at choosing a university that is right for you consider whether your prof will know your name and say "Hi" in the halls or whether they won't know you're their student and think you're just a stranger passing by. At Nipissing all my profs have known my name, the academic accommodations I receive and have been willing to meet outside of their office hours and often after hours to go over content that doesn't completely make sense.
Feeling alone is never something anyone wants to feel, if you choose Nipissing I can promise you'll always have someone around to help get you through your stressful times.
Off to do some studying!

Understanding the Distance Between Two Planes in Geometry
Geometry is the study of shapes and space, and planes are a major part of this field. A plane is a two-dimensional surface that has no thickness, and it can be defined by any three non-collinear points in its space. In this blog post, we'll be discussing the concept of the distance between two planes in geometry.
How to Find the Distance Between Two Planes
The first step to finding the distance between two planes is to identify their equations. To do this, you will need to use three points on each plane that do not lie on the same line (noncollinear). The equation for a plane is given by Ax + By + Cz = D, where A, B, C and D are constants determined by your three points.
Once you have established your equations for each plane, you can calculate the distance using two different methods. The first method involves taking the cross product of both equations to find their normal vectors and then using those normal vectors to calculate their dot product. The second method is much simpler and involves subtracting one equation from another before multiplying it by -1/2A (where A is a constant taken from one of your equations). This calculation yields what is known as a signed distance between two planes.
Using either of these methods will help you determine how far apart two planes are in terms of their relative point coordinates; however, if you want an absolute value instead (a number with no negative), you can use Pythagoras' theorem or any other similar method for calculating Euclidean distances.
Calculating the distance between two planes in geometry can seem like a daunting task at first; however, once you understand how it works it becomes much easier. It all boils down to being able to define your equations for each plane accurately which can be done with just three non-collinear points per plane. Once you have those equations established, there are multiple ways to find out how far apart those planes are from each other! Being familiar with these methods should help make geometry class much more manageable for students everywhere!
How do you find the distance of a plane?
The distance of a plane is determined by finding the equation of the plane using three non-collinear points and then calculating the distance between two planes using either one of two methods: taking the cross product or subtracting one equation from another before multiplying it. You can also use Pythagoras' theorem or any other Euclidean distance calculation method to get the absolute distance value.
The distance between two points in geometry can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem states that the distance between two points is equal to the square root of (x2-x1) squared plus (y2-y1) squared. You can also calculate the Euclidean Distance, which involves taking the difference of both points for each of the x and y coordinates and then taking the square root of their sum. This method yields an absolute distance value with no negatives.
What is the formula of distance between two parallel planes?
The formula for the distance between two parallel planes is -D/A, where A and D are constants taken from one of the equations. The negative sign indicates that the distance between these two planes is negative; in other words, they are on opposite sides of each other. This is usually seen as a signed distance value (e.g. -3.45). To get the absolute distance between two parallel planes, you can use any other Euclidean distance calculator such as Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the distance between two 111 planes?
The distance between two 111 planes depends on the constants used in each equation. To calculate this distance, you need to use three non-collinear points for each plane and then use either one of two methods: taking the cross product or subtracting one equation from another before multiplying it. After that, you can get an absolute value by using Pythagoras' theorem or any other Euclidean distance calculator. The signed distance between two 111 planes is usually -D/A, where A and D are constants taken from one of the equations.
The absolute distance can be found by taking the square root of that result.

Q: Matplotlib why is my plot not correctly graphing data? Python I am trying to visualize two different sets of data: actual, and ideal. Actual and ideal have the same time increments which is 0 to 30 in increments of 1. Actual and ideal both start at 1000 and both decrease to around 200ish. Both their y values differ a little each increment.
t = incs
a = data.pop('actual')
b = data.pop('ideal')
plt.plot(t,a)
plt.plot(t,b)
plt.show()

This is what I end up getting as a result.

How do I get it so it's two decreasing lines with larger intervals on x and y so it's not so squished?

Peaceful protests across Qalqilya area violently dispersed

Two demonstrations against the Israeli occupation took place on Thursday, February 25 near Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank.
In the town of Azzun, locals marched from the municipality office to one of the roads leading out of the town in protest against the closure of two of the village's three exit roads. Since 1991, all traffic entering and exiting the village has been through one road. Residents told The Palestine Monitor they were also marching because of Israel's general repressive policies and frequent raids carried out by Israeli troops in the village. In the nearby village of Izbit-Tabib, people from around the area gathered to show solidarity with the residents of the approximately 25 houses in the village slated for demolition.
The Palestine Monitor spoke to Mohammed Radwan, a coordinator of the Popular Resistance Struggle Committee in the area. "We are demonstrating today to demand an end to the repression of the village and to re-open the northern and eastern gates," he said.
He explained that since 1991, only one of the entrances to the village has been open. "It should take only 10 minutes to get to Qalqilya, but since they closed the other entrances it now takes three times as long," he explained. Mohammed said that the Israelis have closed the other entrances for the "security of the settlers" in the nearby Jewish-only colony of Ma'ale Shimron, but explained that re-opening the roads would not adversely affect the settlements in any way.
Locals gathered at the town municipality around 11 a.m. and marched to the barbed wire fence blocking off one of the roads on the edge of the town. As they approached the fence, Israeli soldiers threw about seven or eight stun grenades at the demonstrators. Having failed to disperse the peaceful protest, the army proceeded to fire streams of tear gas behind the group, and then directly at the protestors, forcing them to run several hundred metres through the stinging fumes.
The soldiers covered the entire area in tear gas in moments, through the use of both hand held launchers and the vehicle-mounted Venom cannon. Venom, produced in the US, can fire 150 tear gas canisters in less than 30 seconds.
The army followed the retreating protesters as local youth began to retaliate by throwing stones, and within minutes, a large part of the town was engulfed in tear gas. Many locals were forced to run from their homes, carrying babies and small children for fear of the invading soldiers. Three army jeeps drove a path through the crowd and stopped in a street in the middle of the town, firing stun grenades and tear gas at random, including directly at journalists.
Having reassembled at the municipality building, many locals proceeded to travel to the nearby village of Izbit-Tabib, in solidarity with residents to whom Israeli authorities have delivered impending home demolition orders. Around 25 houses, including a school and the village council, are due to be destroyed because they were constructed without an Israeli-issued building permit in Area C—an area that makes up roughly 60% of the occupied West Bank.
Construction by Palestinians in Area C is all but banned under Israeli law. Locals argue, however, that because none of the buildings in question have concrete roofs—rather they are furnished with galvanise roofs—they technically fall under the category of "agricultural buildings," which are allowed in some instances.
After assembling at the village council for speeches and prayer, the crowd proceeded to march peacefully to the main road that leads to Qalqilya. Having arrived at the junction the village, youth spontaneously broke into song and traditional dance and chanted slogans against the occupation, while a small group of soldiers looked on from across the road
After a few jovial minutes of song and dance, the demonstration was suddenly caught in a pincer movement as several jeeploads of soldiers arrived both from the main road and from the village, behind the demonstration. The army immediately began firing teargas canisters indiscriminately at the marchers, directly hitting more than several members of the group and a nearby journalist.
Hundreds of local Palestinians spent almost the entire day protesting in solidarity with their neighbours, joined by a handful of international and Israeli solidarity activists. Despite the overwhelmingly peaceful nature of the actions, such demonstrations are routinely met with violence by the Israeli military.


Government Area of Anambra State, while reacting to mergers, accords and alliances being made by some political parties, against the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ezeonwuka declared: "Any alignment that will not give Igboman presidency in four years time will not work. We can manage this madness called the Buhari administration for another four years provided the South-East zone will get the presidency at the end of the four years." He described the NPP/NPN accord of 1983 as the best form of alliance ever between two rival political parties in the country, adding that it was through that alliance that most of the major federal roads in the South East zone were awarded and constructed during the Shehu Shagari/Alex Ekwueme second republic regime. Ezeonwuka however noted that APGA was not yet part of any alignment with any political party.
