FORT MILL, S.C. — Greg Biffle, a 19-time winner in NASCAR Cup competition, has joined General Tire's Team GT as a social media correspondent promoting the brand's "Anywhere Is Possible" theme.
Mr. Biffle, who stepped away from competition in 2017, will tackle on- and off-road adventures on behalf of General Tire throughout the year, and his activities will be documented in real-time on General Tire's social channels.
"Greg's voice will provide a change of pace in the channels," Travis Roffler, General's director of marketing, said. "His perspective will be a great third-party approach and will allow us to earn new followers, increase our awareness, and of course, generate tons of content."
Fans will be able to interact with Mr. Biffle on his excursions by using #Biffle on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Mr. Biffle's first role as a member of Team GT will be in New Orleans, where he will take part in the launch of the G-MAX RS and the Grabber A/TX lines to the General brand portfolio. He'll participate alongside the media members there to cover the event, testing the new product line on a variety of vehicles while providing behind-the-scenes access.
Mr. Biffle, champion of NASCAR's truck and Xfinity series in 2000 and 2002, respectively, and one of only a handful of drivers to win races in all three of NASCAR's top classes, joins a team of a dozen other "names" from the racing and outdoor sports worlds.
Others on the team include off-road racers CJ Hutchins, Jim Beaver, Jim Riley, Jerry and Jason Campbell and Ryan Beat; professional fishers Jeff Proctor, Skeet Reese, Edwin Evers, Mark Rose, Ott Defoe, John Crews and Britt Myers; and Pro Pulling League's Stan Shelton.

Tanzania is a case of success regarding Nature conservation and endangerous species protection. The country soon understood that they have been presented with some of the greatest natural wonders to be found on Earth. And quickly they learned how to conserve them and take good care of them.
In fact, many conservation works have been done here; especially those related with fighting Elephant Hunting and saving one of the most endanger species in the world, the Black Rhino. Jane Goodall also becomes famous for her pioneer work with the Chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park.
Blessed by nature with 14 national parks (there are even more, but these ones are the most famous) one can found everything in Tanzania. Tanzania is what comes to your mind when you think of Africa. There are parks that are as large as many European countries like the Serengeti National park and Selous Game Reserve. There are parks, like Katavi National Park or Ruaha National Park that are so untouched by humans they reassemble the descriptions of Africa by white hunters and missionaries who came here centuries ago. Parks where you can have a million of acres just for yourself and see more lions than people.
Where you can see giraffes with the world's tallest free standing mountain, the roof of Africa, in the background? Well, there are really parks for every taste and interest and we haven't even spoke aboutZanzibar, with world class beaches of white sand and turquoise warm water. Tanzania is definitely one of the top destinations of the world.
Northern Tanzania, where the wildlife is more abundant, southern Tanzania, where visitors are fewer, and western Tanzania, where some interesting parks are situated, home to for example wild chimpanzees.
Selous Game Reserve – The park is named after Englishman, Frederick Courtney Selous – conservationist, hunter, explorer and author, whose adventure books on Africa became best sellers in Victorian England. The park varies from rolling grassy woodlands and plains, to rocky outcrops cut by the Rufiji River – the lifeblood of the park, whose tributaries form a network of lakes, lagoons and channels. Volcanic hot springs even burst forth in places. The Rufiji offers a superb method of game viewing especially during the dry season when animals congregate.
Ruaha National Park – This is one of the few Tanzania's famous wilderness area where one can have a rare experience of game viewing spiced up by the fascinating landscape. The park is rich of plants and animals such as Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) which can not be found in any other national park. The park boasts of her almost untouched and unexplored ecosystem, making visitors' safari experience very unique.The Great Ruaha River as other rivers like Mwagusi, Jongomero and Mzombe save as the life line of the park. During dry season, these rivers become mostly the main source of water for wildlife. There are few natural springs saving the same purpose.In the pick of dry season, elephants obtain water from dry sand rivers using their front feet and trunks. The remaining water falls along the Great Ruaha River are also important habitat for hippopotamus, fish and crocodiles.
Kitulo National Park – Locals refer to the Kitulo Plateau as Bustani ya Mungu – The Garden of God – while botanists have dubbed it the Serengeti of Flowers, host to 'one of the great floral spectacles of the world'. And Kitulo is indeed a rare botanical marvel, home to a full 350 species of vascular plants, including 45 varieties of terrestrial orchid, which erupt into a riotous wildflower display of breathtaking scale and diversity during the main rainy season of late November to April.Perched at around 2,600 metres (8,500 ft) between the rugged peaks of the Kipengere, Poroto and Livingstone Mountains, the well-watered volcanic soils of Kitulo support the largest and most important montane grassland community in Tanzania.One of the most important watersheds for the Great Ruaha River, Kitulo is well known for its floral significance – not only a multitude of orchids, but also the stunning yellow-orange red-hot poker and a variety of aloes, proteas, geraniums, giant lobelias, lilies and aster daisies, of which more than 30 species are endemic to southern Tanzania.
Big game is sparselyrepresented, though a few hardy mountain reedbuck and eland still roam the open grassland.But Kitulo – a botanist and hiker's paradise – is also highly alluring to birdwatchers. Tanzania's only population of the rare Denham's bustard is resident, alongside a breeding colony of the endangered blue swallow and such range-restricted species as mountain marsh widow, Njombe cisticola and Kipengere seedeater. Endemic species of butterfly, chameleon, lizard and frogfurther enhance the biological wealth of God's Garden.
Saadani National Park – Located in the centre of the historic triangle of Bagamoyo, Pangani and Zanzibar, Saadani National Park covers 1100km square. It is the only wildlife sanctuary in Tanzania bordering the sea. The climate is coastal, hot and humid. It offers a unique combination of both marine and mainland flora and fauna in a culturally fascinating setting. About 30 species of larger mammals are present as well as numerous reptiles and birds. Besides many species of fish (over 40), green turtles, humpback whales and dolphins occur in the ocean nearbyGazetted in 2005, it encompasses a preserved ecosystem including the former Saadani game reserve, the former Mkwaja ranch area, the Wami River as well as the Zaraninge Forest. Many villages exist around the boundaries of the park. Before being included in the national park, the Zaraninge forest was managed by the World Wide Fund for nature (WWF) whose goal was to preserve the extremely high botanical diversity of one of the last coastal rain forests remaining in Tanzania.
Mahale Mountains National Park – The park like its northerly neighbor Gombe is home to some of the Africa's last remaining wild chimpanzees, a population of roughly 900, they are habituated to human visitors by a Japanese research project founded in the 1960s. Tracking the chimps of Mahale is a magical experience.Mahale is located in the Western Tanzania to the South of Kigoma town, it is bordering Lake Tanganyika-the World's longest, second deepest and least polluted freshwater lake-harbouring an estimated 1000 fish species.
Rubondo Island National Park – was gazetted in 1977. It is an important breeding ground for both migratory birds and fish species (especially Tilapia and Nile perch) as for a long time it stood to be the only area in the waters of Lake Victoria which was well protected and preserved. About 80% of the park is covered by a dense forest thus providing a variety of habitats to wildlife ranging from savannah, open woodland, papyrus swamps to dense forest. These habitats form a home for various wild creatures such as sitatunga, bushbucks, velvet monkeys, genet cats, spotted necked otters, hippopotamus and crocodiles which share the ecological niches with introduced species such as chimpanzees, elephants, giraffes, black and white colubus monkeys, suni and African grey parrots. The park is famous by holding a variety of migratory birds from different parts of the world and some birds native to the area are in Emin Pasha Gulf with the African fish eagles distinctly appreciated.
Saanane National Park – Saanane Island is a fully fledged National Park since July, 2013, covering an area of 2.18 sq km comprises of three islets and aquatic environment. The islets lie on the southern part of the main Island.The park made a record of being the first ever National Park to be located within the City and the smallest National Park in both Tanzania and East Africa. The Park is the home of mammals like Impala, Rock Hyrax, Velvet Monkeys and Wild Cats. The presence of "De-brazas Monkey" underscores its potential as the only Park in the country inhabiting the species. Reptiles are also dominant; they include crocodiles, Monitor Lizards, Agama Lizards, Pancake and Leopard Tortoises, Snakes particularly Python.The aquatic part of the Park inhabits a variety of fisheries life, mainly Tilapia and Nile Perch.
In the following map, you can see national parks and reserves. To learn more about each one please contact us.


FORT LAUDERDALE — DISH recently began selling ads on specific set-top boxes programmatically – but that doesn't mean programmatic ad trading and household addressability are the same thing.
"To us, addressable and programmatic are two distinct words," according to DISH media sales VP Adam Gaynor. "Addressable can be programmatic, but it doesn't have to be, and programmatic is not addressable.
Gaynor says TV ad buyers used to request targeting of broad-brush customer demographics but are now beginning to get a lot more specific.

Q: How to mask last parentheses brackets in string using java replaceAll(regex, replacement) method? I want to
ASDFASDFG => A********
(qwe)rtya(sdfg)h => (qwe)rtya(s***)h

so i tried to
public String setMask_ (String name_){

    String result = null;

    if(name_.lastIndexOf("(") > -1) {
        // Bracket Begin
        int locBrkBgn = name_.lastIndexOf("(") +2;
        // Bracket End
        int locBrkEnd = locBrkBgn + (name_.substring(locBrkBgn, name_.length())).indexOf(")") -1;
        // result = name_.replaceAll("(?<=.{"+locBrkBgn+"}).*(?={"+locBrkEnd+"})", "*");
        result = name_.replaceAll("(?<=\\().*?(?=\\))", "*");
    } else {
        result = name_.replaceAll("(?<=.{1}).", "*");
    }
    return result;
}

A: oh, I think I did it.
public String setMask_ (String name_){

    String result = null;

    if(name_.lastIndexOf("(") > -1) {
        // locate. Bracket Begin
        int locBrkBgn = name_.lastIndexOf("(") +2;
        result = name_.replaceAll("(?<=.{"+locBrkBgn+"}).(?=[^\\)]*?\\))", "*");
    } else {
        result = name_.replaceAll("(?<=.{1}).", "*");
    }
    return result;
}

A: result = name_.replaceAll("\(\w+\)\w*$", "(" + name_.replaceAll("\(\w\)\w*\(\w*\)", ")"));
Basically, you replace the part inside the second parenthesis with * and then replace everything until last closing parenthesis with the closed parenthesisparenthesis.

Q: Listar um range de números e somar um por um Estou com essa dúvida não sei como começar, gostaria de saber como poderia fazer para somar um numero com outro de um range
por exemplo:
2 = 2
3 = 5
4 = 11

E assim por diante não estou conseguindo prosseguir, se alguém puder me ajudar agradeço desde já.

A: Você pode usar a função sum o código seria esse:
print(sum([1,2,3]))

separado por variáveis:
lista = [1,2,3]

soma = sum(lista)

print(soma)

A: Se entendi a sua pergunta, queres somar todos os elementos de um range
use FOR junto ao range,
n_elementos = 5
soma = 0

for i in range(1,n_elementos+1):
    soma += i

print(soma)

o 'n_elementos+1' se deve ao range(x,y) ir de x até y-1

A: Para isto podemos utilizar duas funções em python.
A funcão range que cria um iterável do intervalo de valores a partir dos parâmetros informados e a função sum que soma um iterável e retorna o resultado
segue um exemplo:
sum(range(1,5))

segue os links das documentações das funções

Q: Rails: allowing a partial to only be rendered once Is there a way to code a rails partial such that it can only be rendered once, no matter how many times the containing view attempts to render it?
Why: A page consists of a series of smaller widget partials.  Each widget has a few small links in the upper right to display "popover" forms, which collect data from the user.  These popovers are partials included by the widget partials.  Clicking these links finds the popover partial in the DOM (by id), displays it, and positions it below the clicked link.  The widget partials have no way of knowing which other widgets are included in this page, but I want to include each required popover once and only once in the DOM.
If this is still confusing, the setup is something like

*

*Page view

*

*Widget partial 1

*

*Popover partial A

*Widget partial 2

*

*Popover partial B

*Popover partial C

*Widget partial 3

*

*Popover partial B

*Popover partial D

Here A, B, C, and D should each appear only once in the DOM, despite B being explicitly included twice.
I'm thinking something like #ifndef in C, where we ensure headers are included only once.
Note: I'm using Rails 2.3

A: You could make use of the instance variables. However, you have to ensure that the instance variables is bounded to the views only and will not be crashed.
Something like:
# in your view
<% @widget_partial_rendered_popovers ||= [] %>

<% popover_partials.each do |pp| %>
  <% if !@widget_partial_rendered_popovers.include?(pp) %>
    <% @widget_partial_rendered_popovers << pp %>
    display the popover
  <% end %>
<% end %>

If you are able to collect the popover things early in the controller, it would be cleaner to just render all the popovers in a place. As I don't know what's your exact structure is, I could just give you what you have required.


Are we allowed to discuss vendors now? Not necessarily pricing, but I would like to post about a good experience with a certain vendor.
In that case, I placed an order from Mark at Cigarmony late Friday afternoon. He is one hour ahead of me so it had to be around 4pm-5pm Friday when he received it.
I received the package yesterday! Excluding Sunday, the package technically only took one day (Saturday) to get here! There are no paved to roads leading to my little section of Paradise, so when the package arrived at the post office, they had to put it on horseback (actually burro back). There are two creeks, a major river, and an illegal narcotic trafficing path to cross on the way here.
Mark at Cigarmony rocks! Thanks for the great service! I would highly recommend!
Thanks to Dustin we are putting this in for everyone. This will be a place where you can rate your favorite vendors and announce any special deals that you may come accross. Lets have some fun with this. Please make sure before putting in a bad experience that you have done everything possible to rectify the problem, and keep it basic without completely blasting them.
I have ordered a few times through Taboocigars.com. Very good quality of smokes and a good assortment of sticks other than Taboo at really nice prices. Customer service is top notch! After an operator error on my part they contacted me by phone and were able to get my smokes to me in record time! I highly recommend checking them out!
The Tabboo cigar web site is great! Just be sure to check it out when your wife is NOT home.
what's the website for taboo cigars....i can't find it anywhere?
I dunno, maybe taboocigars.com? Ask Aubrey, its saved in his favorites.
Hmmm..... thats weird Aaron, I can't find it either. There is a taboo cigars.com but it is to a retailer in Richland Hills Texas.
Who is getting in on this pre-release deal from cusano?
I'd like to mention Dan at newhavanacigars.com. His customer service is excellent. Don't forget the Illusione hl's are coming....lanceros!
I've got another package from Mark at Cigarmony on the way. I'll post a review on the accessories when they arrive.
I will say that Mark is offering a 10% discount right now on all items in celebration of his 3 years in business. Just enter "cigarmony2008" in the discount code box, and it will automatically deduct the discount.
A while back I purchased a Palio cutter and a Xicar lighter at a wonderful price. 2 days later I received the cutter and lighter. Great customer service and wonderful selections of products. Highly recommended.
Over the weekend I dropped my Xikar 007 punch and bent the blade beyond use. Last night I called Xikar and told them what happened. Phillip was the guy I talked to and he said "No problem" just send it back!
WOW! I dropped it and they fix it, no questions asked.
So it goes out in this mornings mail and I will anxiously be waiting for it to get sent back.
The Xikar 007 that i sent out last week just showed up in today's mail! Not actually the same one but a new one!!! Simple and sweet, just the punch ina padded envelope!
I need to get one of those! I use cheap $1 punches and it is becoming my go to cut.
Any experience with a Villiger humidor?
anyone have experience making returns/exchanges to cbid?

Kraft is Giving Families a Chance to Appear in the Brand's Super Bowl Ad
By Newsroom on January 30, 2018 Comments Off on Kraft is Giving Families a Chance to Appear in the Brand's Super Bowl Ad
If you're looking for your 15 minutes of fame, here's your chance: Kraft is asking families across the country to submit photos and videos of themselves on Super Bowl Sunday for a chance to appear in the brand's game day ad, which will air during the second half.
Starting bright and early on Feb. 4, Kraft will begin asking families to share on Instagram and Twitter how they're celebrating the big game using the hashtags #FamilyGreatly and #KraftEntry. Whether it's a photo of snack prep or a video of the whole family cheering for their favorite team, the brand is looking to spotlight how real families are celebrating this year's face-off.
As submissions roll in throughout the day, Kraft and its creative agency Leo Burnett Chicago will begin putting the 30-second spot together. A separate ad will air just before kickoff to remind viewers that they still have time to submit. The window for submissions will close at 8:30pm eastern.
"Throughout the course of the day, we'll be looking at all the activity that's occurring with those hashtags and really having an eye to family-generated content that showcases different types of families and types of activities," said Anne Field, director of brand building for Kraft. "We've thought through some of the executional elements like the music, but we'll really be making the ad in real time on that day."
To get the word out about the initiative, Kraft has created a "teaser" spot that will run on TV, digital and social in the days leading up to the game.
The brand's "family-generated" Super Bowl commercial is an extension of Kraft's 'Family Greatly' campaign, which launched last month with a video that featured real parents discussing the impossible standards they set for themselves when it comes to parenting. The aim of the campaign is to encourage parents to stop putting so much pressure on themselves to be perfect.
"What we think we have now is the opportunity to build on some of the momentum from the launch in December and really kind of walk the walk around building an emotional connection with today's families." said Field. "We thought the Super Bowl was the ultimate place to give the stage to families."
Rather than being product-specific, the 'Family Greatly' effort promotes all products that fall under the Kraft brand name, including its macaroni and cheese, mayonnaise, line of salad dressings, shredded cheese and barbecue sauces. By uniting its portfolio of offerings under one overarching tagline, the company is hoping to strengthen what the Kraft brand stands for.
"Over the course of the brand's existence, a lot of our messaging has been around the specific categories and the relevant features within those categories. While that's certainly important and an ongoing piece of communications strategy, we see an opportunity to build consistency in the brand and how it really appears as a brand to people, and to build an emotional connection that can kind of live over the top of the category-specific messaging," said Field. "The Super Bowl's really the platform to help build that emotional relevance and bring the purpose to life."

First, using the data available in the reports, we try to compute some of the properties of orbit #2. This is not enough to completely define the trajectory, but will give us information later on in the process.
To compute the arrival velocity to Venus at flyby #1, we have the necessary data to solve the boundary value problem.
We compute a flyby using poliastro with the default value of the entry angle, just to discover that the results do not match what we expected.
Now we will try to find the value of \(\theta\) that satisfies our requirements.
And finally, we compute orbit #2 and check that the period is the expected one.
The two solutions have different inclinations, so we still have to find out which is the good one. We can do this by computing the inclination over the ecliptic - however, as the original data was in the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), whose fundamental plane is parallel to the Earth equator of a reference epoch, we have change the plane to the Earth ecliptic, which is what the original reports use.
"""Changes the plane of the Orbit.
Therefore, the correct option is the first one.

How Did The Apollo Landing Shape Future Uses of IoT?
IT pros can trace the inspiration behind IoT to well before it was mentioned by Kevin Ashton -- the person who allegedly coined the term IoT -- at a presentation in 1999.
The first real-time embedded digital computer, the Apollo Guidance Computer, was limited in its capabilities, but it pushed the development from room-size machines toward the miniscule sensors available today. Apollo engineers had to reduce the computers of the day to fit in the limited space of a space shuttle. The success of the Apollo missions led to the incorporation of smaller computers into commercial and military aircraft and commercial use in science and financial services. The computers also increased the performance capabilities of satellites.
Digital technology continued to grow faster and smaller, transitioning from the space program to the commercial market and eventually leading to the development of PCs, cell phones and then smartphones. At the same time, sensors adopted digital technology to improve functionality and manufacturers could make devices smaller, easier to power and cheaper. The latter was the driving force for expanding the uses of IoT. These changes meant sensor technology could be applied not just to space programs, but also to military sensors for combat purposes and medical field applications.
Movies such as Fantastic Voyage had entire vehicles and crew shrunk down to the size of a blood clot, but reality saw applications develop where miniaturized medical sensorswere inserted into patients to expand arteries, deliver medication and capture data on patient state.
The next uses of IoT will be in wearables. Many people have become comfortable wearing activity monitors. The next jump in IoT development will be even bigger than the steps it took to get to pulse rate and EKG sensors. The expanded uses of IoT in healthcarewill decrease patients' hospital stays because providers can monitor patients at home. People will also deploy sensors in factories and schools to monitor internal conditions and safety and to respond to natural emergencies, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

Do you think you are a good person? Better than most perhaps? What about smart or intelligent? Or better at your job than most of your co-workers?
If so, you are not alone. In fact, you are part of the pack. According to studies, 94% of US professors rate themselves better than their colleagues, 80% of drivers regard themselves above average—which is not even statistically possible! Further—only 1% (!) of Australian workers rate their job performance as below average. People even assess themselves as better than others in predicting the outcome of a coin toss!
Maybe so—to you and me. But it's not overly surprising to psychologists. Most people don't have accurate perceptions of themselves, it's been discovered. Instead—we tend to see ourselves in a (substantially) more positive light that what the reality is.
It's a well-known bias, known as positive illusions—the inclination to view ourselves in the best possible light.
Interestingly enough, up until the late 1970s, optimism was regarded as "a psychological deficit, a sign of immaturity or weakness of character." It wasn't until 1988 when two professors of psychology published a paper in which they challenged this notion, arguing that seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses is good and even needed for our physical and mental well-being.
Further studies have uncovered that favorable self-views are linked to additional benefits—such as higher motivation, greater persistence, more effective performance and a higher success rate. Believing that we are better than others can become a bit like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Plus, "knowing" that things will work out in our favour can shield us from stress during downtimes.
And sometimes, trusting a positive outcome in the face of uncontrollable risks is all we have left to keep us going and fighting. For example, psychological research shows that cancer survivors often report a higher quality of life than people who have never had cancer at all.
That is, positive illusion-ing helps people to successfully get through major stressful events or traumas, such as life-threatening illnesses or serious accidents.
However, a caution is warranted.
Unrealistically high self-opinions have been linked to egocentrism and narcissism—the latter of which is a personality disorder. But, as research tells us, low to moderate doses of rosy self-views can predict a healthy sense of self-esteem. One study has found that a large number of people (43.9% to be exact) who held highly positive self-illusions also had high-self-esteem.
It makes sense if you get to think about it. Self-esteem is about feeling good being ourselves. Positive self-opinions achieve exactly this—they make us see ourselves in a bit of a glorified light—enough, to keep our hopes, motivation and self-worth in a good place.
To peel the onion a bit further on this—another famous psychologist— Prof. Roy Baumeister— has proposed a term, called "an optimal margin of illusion." There is an ideal level of distortion of reality, he claims, that we need to maintain for a healthy psychological functioning. Distorting less than the optimal level may be depressing as it's linked to too realistic outlook, but overdoing it can push us to take on challenges way beyond our capabilities and set ourselves to fail, due to an inflated ego.
This is where it becomes tricky. There is a Goldilocks level of self-delusions linked to a better mental well-being. However, telling ourselves that everything will be fine or aiming way too high may be a dangerous line to walk—we may either not action appropriately trusting things will somehow magically work out, or—as I mentioned—get burned, believing in our superiority.
Alternatively, studies do confirm that people who convinced themselves that they did well, regardless of reality, felt and fared better after completing a task. This means that self-delusions not only make us feel good about ourselves but can give us the motivational boost to actually perform better.
As I said, some delicate grounds.
The idea that unfounded self-glorification is beneficial, naturally, isn't without opposition. It's harmful in the long-term, the nay-sayers claim—it can lead to poor social skills, can make people "hostile, condescending, and unable to delay gratification." Self-enhancers may appear to be charming and assured folks at first glance, but after the initial aura is dispelled, they do come across as defensive and tending to brag. Self-delusions are also a close ally to self-denial, which can prevent us from improving ourselves.
But it's all nuanced, of course. Studies do show that people who feel positive about themselves and their health live up to 20 years longer.
So, in the end, what the research tells us is that you can keep wearing your rose-coloured glasses, but with—let's call it—a grounded optimism. Despite the risks of tipping into a high-ego territory, having favorable self-views is still better than the alternative.
Perhaps we all need a dose of positive self-delusions after all—just enough to be "crazy" to dream big dreams and have the courage to go after them.
To take a more philosophical view on this— what is reality really? –"Merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one," Albert Einstein told us years ago.
Then, who's to say that your reality is more real or truer than mine?

Q: Any filter-like lambda operation which does not discard? I basically would like to do something like:
  assertEquals(Arrays.asList(1,2,3).stream()
                                   .noDiscardingFilter(x -> x!=1)
                                   .map(x -> x*10)
                                   .collect(Collectors.toList()),
                Arrays.asList(1,20,30)
              )

This is an example, I don't need to get an answer on how to solve out that particular problem, it's just an example to show what's the fancy stuff I'm coming after.

A: Any intermediate step affects the entire stream pipeline. There is no recognizable rule behind your wish that the noDiscardingFilter step affects what the subsequently chained map will do, but not the collect operation. If you want to have a conditional function, it would be much clearer to implement it as such:
public static <T> Function<T,T> conditional(
                                Predicate<? super T> p, Function<T, ? extends T> f) {
    return obj -> p.test(obj)? f.apply(obj): obj;
}

This can be used as
assertEquals(Stream.of(1, 2, 3)
        .map(conditional(x -> x!=1, x -> x*10))
        .collect(Collectors.toList()),
    Arrays.asList(1, 20, 30)
);

or
Stream.of(1, 5, null, 3, null, 4)
      .map(conditional(Objects::isNull, x -> 0)) // replacing null with default value
      .forEach(System.out::println);

or
Stream.of(1, 5, null, 3, null, 4)
      .map(conditional(Objects::nonNull, x -> x*10)) // null-safe calculation
      .forEach(System.out::println);

Note how in these use cases, it is immediately recognizable that the predicate and function passed to conditional belong to the same scope, which is different from the chained stream operations.

A: If you want to only change the entries which match the filter but retain the rest.
assertEquals(Arrays.asList(-1, 1, 20, 30),
             Stream.of(-1, 1, 2, 3)
                   .map(i -> i <= 1 ? i /* retain */ : 10 * i /* transform */)
                   .collect(Collectors.toList()));

Q: What's the correct way of returning HTTP error codes in serverless lambda I have a serverless lambda function written in Node.JS.
What is the best / correct way of returning error codes?
The pattern that I use right now (and it works!) is:
module.exports.endpoint = (event, context, callback) => {
    const response = {
        statusCode: 404,
        body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello World!' })
    };
    callback(null, response);
}

When I make a call, for example from POSTMAN, to my endpoint I get:
Status: 404 Not Found  which is exactly what I'm expecting.
Moreover, in the logs I can see:
Serverless: GET / (λ: get)
Serverless: [404] {"statusCode":404,"body":"{\"message\":\"Hello World!\"}"}

That works well.
What bothers me is that I'm passing null as the error. Looking into a few other tutorials/examples I've found patterns like:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/error-handling-patterns-in-amazon-api-gateway-and-aws-lambda/
https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/apigateway/
callback ("the sky is falling!");
callback("[BadRequest] Validation error: Missing field 'name'");
callback("[404] Not Found");
callback(new Error('[404] Not found'));
callback(JSON.stringify(myErrorObj));
All of them make perfect sense and you can specify HTTP Status Code - yet what I'm getting is HTTP Status Code 200 in the end. When I look at the logs I can see that the error was followed straight after with 200:
Serverless: GET / (λ: get)
Serverless: Failure: the sky is falling!
Serverless: Replying 200

Serverless: GET / (λ: get)
Serverless: Failure: [BadRequest] Validation error: Missing field 'name'
Serverless: Replying 200

Serverless: GET / (λ: get)
Serverless: Failure: [404] Not Found
Serverless: Replying 200

Serverless: GET / (λ: get)
Serverless: Failure: [404] Not found
Serverless: Replying 200

Serverless: GET / (λ: get)
Serverless: Failure: {"errorType":"InternalServerError","httpStatus":500,"message":"An unknown error has occurred. Please try again."}
Serverless: Replying 200

In this place I've found following explanation:
https://github.com/serverless/serverless/issues/4119

If you want to respond with HTTP errors in that case, you have to
  encode the HTTP error as successful Lambda response

with following example:
Sample 403:
callback(null, { statusCode: 403, body: "Forbidden", headers: { "Content-Type": "text/plain" } });
Sample 404:
callback(null, { statusCode: 400 });

So that's basically the same way I've. For the sake of completeness, I can add that there is also a plenty of examples that uses context.fail(result) or context.succeed(result) - but from what I gathered context is deprecated and shouldn't be used (even though it still works).
What is the point of using callback(error)?

A:
If you want to respond with HTTP errors in that case, you have to encode the HTTP error as successful Lambda response

This type of error-handling is specific to API Gateway.
Just like in traditional Node web servers (e.g. express), you can throw any error using throw new Error('Invalid Payload') and the middleware usually converts it into an HTTP response with the correct response status.
In API Gateway Lambda, this can be written like this...
function createResponse(status, body) {
  return {
    headers: {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'
    },
    statusCode: status,
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  }
}

module.exports.endpoint = (event, context, callback) => {
    try {
      return callback(null, createResponse(200, processEvent(event)))
    } except (e) {
      console.error(e)

      return callback(null, createResponse(500, {
        error: 'Internal Server Error'
      }))
    }
}

Basically, it's a handled error. The lambda function succeeded but the request failed (maybe 400, 404, or 500).
You should be handling errors always, or else if your handler crashes (due to a runtime error or syntax error or any unhandled error), your user will get an unexpected response (a 500 or a 502) which you probably don't want.

Please remember that Lambda is not only used for API Gateway. callback(error) is used for non-API Gateway-triggered Lambdas.
For example, if you have an SNS-triggered Lambda, you can return callback('Any error message here') and it will let SNS know that it failed and so SNS can retry the invocation.

Saffron Spice Found to Reverse Macular Degeneration, Preserve Eye Health
Thread: Saffron Spice Found to Reverse Macular Degeneration, Preserve Eye Health
If you've ever priced saffron for a fancy creation in the kitchen, you may have opted to ignore the spice. Saffron is a spice stemming from the flower crocus sativus, and its rarity and difficulty to be collected cause it to be rather expensive. However, the cost may be worthwhile when you consider its potential benefits – especially those pertaining to eye health preservation.
Saffron has reportedly been used for ages, not only in cooking, but also in healing. It is said to encourage cellular repair in something called neuro-protection, something that is credited in the spice's apparent ability to reverse the blinding effects of age-related macular degeneration.
Macular degeneration is the primary cause of blindness in older individuals. While most common in those over the age of 50, the issue can also affect those who are younger. Macular degeneration occurs when the most light-sensitive part of the retina is damaged, severely limiting sight of those thing in the central line of vision.
Reversing Macular Degeneration with Saffron
Several studies in recent years have indicated saffron may hold a natural treatment for this debilitating disorder.
One study conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney and in Italy found that those with macular degeneration experienced significant improvement in their symptoms when supplementing with saffron. The trial was double-blind and controlled, involving 25 individuals over a 6 month period. About half of the group received a saffron pill for the first 3 months and then a placebo for the last 3 months; the other half of the group were given the pills in reverse order.
"Measurements using objective eye sight tests showed patient's vision improved after taking the saffron pill. When they were tested with traditional eye charts, a number of patients could read one or two lines smaller than before, while others reported they could read newspapers and books again. All patients experienced improvements in their vision while taking the saffron pill. But when they stopped taking the pill the effect quickly disappeared," Professor Silvia Bisti, a visiting scholar based at The VisionCentre at the University of Sydney said.
Jonathan Stone, professor of neurology for Sydney University projects that after a year of supplementing with 20 milligrams of saffron daily, those patients should be able to cease supplementation and maintain vision improvements.
The study notes: "These results indicate that in early AMD Saffron supplementation induces macular function improvements from baseline that are extended over a long-term followup."
While Professor Stone has intentions of creating his own line of saffron supplements, one would hope his potential business venture wasn't coloring his findings. The Italian research, similar in scope and techniques, indicates the benefits could be present profits-notwithstanding.

What's the colour of grass?
Escape to a nautical adventure right on Chesil Beach. This is the Jurassic coast, but there are no dinosaurs here. Just a whale of a time with spectacular views, a cracking cafe on the beach and a hidden hot tub.
Breakfast on the beach can be yours every day on an adventure holiday that's as nautical as a pirate's parrot. Built on the rocks at Burton Bradstock overlooking Jurassic Chesil Beach, this is a view that comes with a house attached. Big skies and big seas abound. Big walks beckon.
Inside, lifebelts, nautical-themed bedrooms and washed clapboard walls offer a hint or two that Chesil Beach House is a seagoing treasure. Outside, things are less subtle. The briny air, sea mist, crashing waves and powdered sand make a fine front garden.
Enjoy those views with a glass of bubbly in the hot-tub bubbles. For the kids, Chesil is all fresh air and fishing, crabs and sea anemones in the The Fleet Lagoon. Down the road is Lyme Regis, perfect for windsurfing and water-skiing and home to crystal-clear waters that demand a dip.
In the evenings, summon up our chef, potter the harbour at Lyme Regis, sink some oysters at Hix or down a pint of Jurassic Ale in The Anchor. At Chesil, life's a beach, so pack your cool box and picnic blanket.
Enjoy stunning views across the sea and the beach as your back garden. Fancy a bite to eat? Just stroll to The Hive Beach Cafe, one of the best beach cafes in the country.
You are perched right above Chesil Beach, an 18 mile long natural wonder.
Children will love spending the day searching for fossils and collecting driftwood to make their own works of art once back at base.
A hot tub sits under the terracing and is a magical place to sit as the night draws in and the beach becomes your own.
Enjoy the stunning sea views from the sitting room. Comfy sofas and deck chairs make this a great spot for relaxing with friends and family after a long day at the beach.
The terrace is a natural extension of the house, perfect for dining out or relaxing.
There are three nautical bedrooms. The master bedroom for the grown ups has fantastic views and is perfect for relaxing. There is a twin bedroom with extra 'truckle' bed which is best for the kids. There is also a double bed upstairs and a fold out futon.
Hunt for fossils and driftwood, catch a crab, see the swans, and explore the coast. Potter the harbour and shops of Lyme Regis and sink an oyster or six at Hix.
