Q: Uploadify & ASP.NET Error Handling #2038 I'm using Uploadify within my ASP.NET 4 project. I'm using an HttpHandler to receive the posted file and process it into a directory. The upload is working fine. However, I wanted to handle any errors I could within my HttpHandler, and I am finding it impossible.
I have the processing of the file wrapped in a try catch, but I am never able to return an error message. I always receive the IO Error: Error #2038
try
{
    UploadFiles(context.Request.Files);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
    context.Response.Write(ex.Message);
}

Is it not possible to return custom errors back to the client when using SWFUpload/Uploadify?

A: Take alook at here
uploadify error handling

'onUploadError' : function(file, errorCode, errorMsg, errorString) {
              alert('The file ' + file.name + ' could not be uploaded: ' + errorString);
          }

Patient-Oriented Health Research Systems Seminar with Dr. Vikki Entwistle
Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (IHPME) - 155 College Street, Room 208 (2nd Floor)
Series/Type
IHPME Event
November 9, 2016 from 12:00pm to 1:30pm
IHPME in collaboration with the McMaster Health Forum and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute are pleased to host a Seminar as part of the Partnership for Health System Strengthening's program on Patient-Oriented Health Research Systems
Please join us for a lunch seminar with Dr. Vikki Entwistle, PhD
"Supporting people to live well with long-term conditions: Why partnership working raises radical challenges for clinicians and researcher"
Dr. Vikki Entwistle is Professor of Health Services Research and Ethics in the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen. Vikki's research is about values and ethics in health care. She is interested in how the plural and sometimes competing perspectives and priorities of citizens, patients and health care providers can appropriately be integrated in policy and practice. Some of her work relates to ideas about health care quality associated with 'person centred care'. This includes attention to the ways that concepts such as autonomy, paternalism, trust, shared decision-making and support for self-management are understood, valued and reflected in practice and research.
Vikki started her academic career in health services research at the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at the University of York. She has also held appointments as a Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy at Harvard School of Public Health and as Professor of Values in Healthcare at the University of Dundee. Vikki was Editor of Health Expectations from 2007-2010 and is currently co-coordinator of the International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics.
A light lunch will be served at 11:45 am. Space is limited. Please RSVP to sarah.patton@utoronto.ca

Too hot or tired to cook! Check out who delivers meals to you!
Recently while on my road trip with my dog Kudzu in Virginia, it was just to hot to cook so we elected to have food delivered. I am familiar and have used Takeout Taxi when I was in Boston. I did not know who delivered in Virginia! A Google search gave me a company I have never heard about before called grubHub.com! I put in the address where I was staying and there were 52 choices to pick from that delivered to the address I was at!
I was in take out heaven. With all the choices it took time to select what we wanted to eat! You put your address in and out comes all these restaurants that deliver. You order on line and in a short period of time our food was delivered hot and ready to enjoy!
Treat yourself when you don't want to cook and have the food delivered to your home in time for dinner. You might be pleasantly surprised what restaurants deliver to your door! Do your own Google search for what restaurant delivery services are in your area and enjoy dinner without going out for a change! Don't forget the dessert!

On Monday, Clue 3 of the Case of the Secret Garden was released. It involved a little more printing on fabric – 16 sheets of this shape, which you can see if you click on the photo to enlarge it.
Thanks to the video on cutting curves with a rotary cutter, I had the 128 shapes all cut out in no time.
Then I got started on the stitching involved in this week's clue. So far I have the 24 units made with the dark shapes at the top and bottom done and one of the 48 units with the light at the top. The seams are very short, so it is pretty quick to stitch these units. Although the picture doesn't seem to show it well, each one of those little seams has a very gentle curve to it.
The little seams are graded and these units are pressed. Right now I'm not sure I like my fabric choices, but I did like them all together when I chose them initially so am going to keep going.
And Clue 4 will be released, I believe, on Monday. Of course I'm trying to guess how this is all going to come together but am not getting too far with my guesses.
We've gone back into a bit of a cold snap. Today's Baxtertoon is all about spring and flowers – maybe we can wish an early spring into happening!
One of Baxter's favourite spots – by his toy basket, keeping his eye on them.
This is so fun! I love the pink fabric.
Will be interesting to see what you end up with! Hang on there Baxter…..spring won't be far away now.
I like your fabric choices; they look great together. Is the floral your 'accent'?
Love the pic of Baxter 'guarding' his toy basket. So cute! My kitty does this too. They are fun.

Q: Storm Total Precip Map I'm using ArcMap 10.5.
I have two individual days of precip data rasters from NOAA/NWS.
I want to combine the two days with the cumulative total storm precip displayed in a new raster.
Many of the cells contain no data, and display as a value of -10000.
I've tried the raster calculator but the missing data cells cause a strange display.

A: Your NoData cells actually contain the value -10'000 and therefore produce said "strange values". So you need to tell the Raster Calculator to ignore these values. You can do this using SetNull (see this link), as the expression below shows:
SetNull("raster1" == -10000, "raster1") + SetNull("raster2" == -10000, "raster2")

This will change the -10'000 to actual NoData values in your raster before processing.

The Talented Mr. Ripley
In this first novel, we are introduced to suave, handsome Tom Ripley: a young striver, newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan in the 1950s. A product of a broken home, branded a "sissy" by his dismissive Aunt Dottie, Ripley becomes enamored of the moneyed world of his new friend, Dickie Greenleaf. This fondness turns obsessive when Ripley is sent to Italy to bring back his libertine pal, but he grows enraged by Dickie's ambivalent feelings for Marge, a charming American dilettante.
Profoundly creepy

Ripley's Game
Living on his posh French estate with his elegant heiress wife, Tom Ripley, on the cusp of middle age, is no longer the striving comer of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Having accrued considerable wealth through a long career of crime—forgery, extortion, serial murder—Ripley still finds his appetite unquenched and longs to get back in the game.
The Boy Who Followed Ripley
In The Boy Who Followed Ripley, Highsmith explores Ripley's bizarrely paternal relationship with a troubled young runaway, whose abduction draws them into Berlin's seamy underworld. More than any other American literary character, Ripley provides "a lens to peer into the sinister machinations of human behavior." (John Freeman, Pittsburgh Gazette).
Ripley Under Water
Tom Ripley passes his leisured days at his French country estate tending the dahlias, practicing the harpsichord, and enjoying the company of his lovely wife, Heloise. Never mind the bloodstains on the basement floor.
Do Not Say We Have Nothing
Written by: Madeleine Thien
Narrated by: Angela Lin
Madeleine Thien's new novel is breathtaking in scope and ambition, even as it is hauntingly intimate. With the ease and skill of a master storyteller, Thien takes us inside an extended family in China, showing us the lives of two successive generations - those who lived through Mao's Cultural Revolution in the mid-20th century; and the children of the survivors, who became the students protesting in Tiananmen Square in 1989, in one of the most important political moments of the past century.
Like Slow Poetry
By Tee on 2018-04-02
Written by: Stephen King
In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes. Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.
EXCELLENT LOVED IT
By Richer M. on 2018-06-07
The Buckmaster Gallery is staging another Derwatt exhibition, but now an American collector claims that the expensive masterpiece he bought three years ago is a fake. It is, of course, and he wants to talk to Derwatt, but Derwatt, inconveniently, is dead. Ripley needs the perfect solution to keep his role in the fraud a secret and his reputation clean, but not everyone's nerves are as steady as his. Especially when it comes to murder.

Why do I like Tom Ripley? I find myself rooting for this strange murderer. I think the gift of this series is it gives us a chance to look at our own morals and belief systems. And it's so intriguing to try to figure out his. Great reader. I am all for not having endings wrapped up neatly but this ending still, this book feels like it stopped in the middle of a sentance. So much fun though - I look forward to the next one

Dichotomous
I had opposing thoughts about almost all of the elements of this book.
Story line: I thought it dragged; yet, it had a mesmerizing pace that I wouldn't have wanted changed.
Characters: They were all in the range from full-on sociopath (only the lead character) to amoral to just completely uncaring about anyone but themselves; yet, I wanted to know what happened to them ... in someway I can't explain, I actually cared about how they fared.
Plot premise: It was about the forging of some only slightly noteworthy paintings, as in "why do I care about this?"; yet, I became interested in the nuances of forgery detection and actually was hoping the forger would get away with it.
The ending: In no sense of the word was there an ending, or any sense of closure on the story line; yet, it somehow poetically worked with all the rest of the book.
I kept wondering why I was continuing to listen to this book; yet, I did all the way to the end. And I'm glad I did.
My only non-dichotomous opinion was about Kevin Kenerly's narration: it was superb!
Strangely enough: I recommend this book ... but only if you are committed to this series. As a standalone book I'm pretty sure you would find your credit wasted.

When gods made Highsmith, they broke the plates.
While I don't believe 'Ripley Under Ground' is quite on the same level as 'The Talented Mr Ripley' it is still amazing to think about on how many levels Highsmith is writing. This novel reminds me a lot of Peter Carey's novel 'My Life as a Fake'.
Both novels explore ideas of art, authenticity, fakery, artistic isolation and basic counterfeits of all forms. What happens when the poseur becomes a greater poet/painter than the original? How do we measure art? How thin is the line between truth and fiction?
Anyway, Highsmith deserves to be recognized not just as a hard-boiled crime writer, but as a literary/genre example of Gresham's law. When the gods of fiction made Highsmith, they broke and buried the plates.

Loving the Ripley series
I'd read that some didn't care for the second book in the Ripley series as much, but I completely enjoyed it. I'd been introduced to Ripley from the Talented Mr. Ripley movie, and enjoyed the book almost as much (yes, I actually liked the movie more than the book); but enjoyed it enough to move on to book two. And I liked it more I think because there was nothing I was comparing it to. Seeing how Ripley is evolving was interesting and the story itself kept me engaged. I'm definitely looking forward to Highsmith's next books in the Ripley series - he's a great character, and these stores make for great audible listens.
not quite as satisfying as original
Overall a good listen. I found the story less plausible than the original, but still believable enough to be enjoyed. Only problem I have with this story is the degree to which Ripley relies on the witlessness of others...
Lorene Stilwell
Grown Up Ripley as Chilling and Likeable as eve
Would you listen to Ripley Underground again? Why?
Yes. Because the complexity of the characterization with its layers upon layers could bring more tidbits to the surface with each reading/listen.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The plot is compelling in a strange slow-moving way. it is the horror and mystery of the mundane. How is it done? Patricia Highsmith was a genius.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scenes in which Tom was impersonating Derwatt. He had such fun with it, I was reminded how he once wanted to be an actor. He is a great actor in the fiction of his life. How many lives would have been saved if he had been successful on the stage? (of course that would have been too much work for Tom Ripley who wants everything to come easily and is essentially lazy.) Why do I like this character? Patricia Highsmith was a genius.
Yes. So I did. Ripley is addictive.
another great one from the Ripley series
What made the experience of listening to Ripley Underground the most enjoyable?
the writer and the narrator made the entire experience wonderful.
What does Kevin Kenerly bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
his intonations and pace brings life to this slightly twisted character
If you could rename Ripley Underground, what would you call it?
don't know.

Not as good as the first one
For a sequel this is a pretty good book. Rarely do I ever rate a performance higher then a book but there is something I enjoyed about Kenerlys reading. It fits well with Ripleys cocky voice. I look forward to book three.
midwest USA
narrator knocked it out of the park
I had read this book long ago, the narration really elevated the story to a work of art. cant get enough of the clever fellow Thomas Ripley!

The 2nd Great Ripley Novel
We really enjoyed it and now cannot wat for the next book. The details of getting around Europe are so interesting.


' Boateng to Barcelona? He played very high in my Milan formations as he was the striker sometimes alongside either Ibra, Robinho or Pato. Higuain to Chelsea? It's still not done yet. I wasn't expecting him to leave Milan this quickly but in his case, he has to find the right chemistry with his teammates. If this isn't there, he has a hard time to perform...'.


Not to be confused with Paquito Escudero.
This name uses Spanish naming customs: the first or paternal family name is García and the second or maternal family name is Gómez.
Francisco García Gómez (born 14 February 1938 in Oviedo, Asturias), commonly known as Paquito, is a Spanish retired football midfielder and manager.
Over the course of 14 seasons, Paquito played in 327 La Liga games in representation of Real Oviedo and Valencia CF, scoring 31 goals. In the 1970–71 campaign, he appeared in 27 matches (all starts) and netted three times as the Che won their fourth national championship, the first in 24 years.
Paquito gained nine caps for Spain during nearly five years, his debut coming on 1 November 1962 in a 6–0 home win against Romania for the 1964 European Nations' Cup qualifiers.
Paquito coached for more than 30 years, his first job with the professionals being in the 1977–78 season with Real Valladolid (Segunda División, seventh position). He achieved three promotions to the top flight, with Racing de Santander (1993), Rayo Vallecano (1995) and Villarreal CF (2000).
With the latter club, Paquito also worked in directorial capacities, as an assistant manager, youth academy director and head coach of farm team CD Onda.

Round the roundabout: Ask your little one if they want to go faster or slower in the target language. My children learned the word nochmal – again – on a roundabout.
FlashSticks: FlashSticks are brilliant for reading age children. Stick them around the home and label things. Oh and don't forget to take pictures while you're out and about, so you can tweet them at @flashsticks on #FlashSticksFriday.

R.I.P. Oliver Sacks, 82
August 30, 2015 ~ susie
An amazing doctor, writer and human being is gone:
Oliver Sacks, the world-renowned neurologist and author who chronicled maladies and ennobled the afflicted in books that were regarded as masterpieces of medical literature, died Aug. 30 at his home in Manhattan. He was 82.
Dr. Sacks — whom millions knew as the physician played by actor Robin Williams in the 1990 film "Awakenings" — revealed in February that he had terminal cancer. A rare and long-ago-treated ocular tumor had metastasized to his liver, he wrote in the New York Times, which was one of several publications, along with the New Yorker magazine and the New York Review of Books, that printed his writings over the years.
His death was confirmed by his longtime assistant, Kate Edgar.
An Englishman who made his life in America, Dr. Sacks devoted his career to patients with rare, seemingly hopeless conditions of the nervous system. He distinguished himself both in the clinic and on the printed page and was often called a "poet laureate" of modern medicine.
His books, many of which were bestsellers, generally took the form of clinical anecdotes. A man who mistakes his wife for a hat, an artist who can no longer see in color, a hospital full of patients gloriously, but fleetingly, "awakened" from years-long catatonia: In each case, Dr. Sacks sought to uncover some wisdom, medical or moral.

Rookies tie it up in unlikely fashion
by Mitch Albom | May 7, 2013 | Detroit Free Press, Sports | 0 comments
MITCH ALBOM REMINDS FANS HOW THE WINGS' YOUTH GIVES AND TAKES AWAY
Rookies tie it up
in unlikely fashion
Goalie down. That's what you saw. After three crazy periods and 15 minutes of overtime, a flock of Red Wings rookies came after Jonas Hiller and finally, as if chopping forever at a redwood tree, they would leave him flat.
Gustav Nyquist, all of 23 years old, pushed a puck furiously down center ice, chasing it as much as controlling it, and Hiller came out to poke it away. It hit an Anaheim teammate, came back off Hiller's skate and sat waiting for another charging Detroit rookie, Damien Brunner, like a sudden steak that had fallen on his plate. Brunner did what a hockey player does – swept it to the net – and just like that, a team that had been dying with its youth was alive again with its youth.
That's the thing about being young; you have so much room to grow up fast.
In a first-round series that already has been marked by youthful contributions (remember Nyquist's winner in the Game 2 overtime?) and youthful mistakes (see Game 3), Brunner kept the Wings alive in a game that, unlike two nights earlier, they truly deserved to win, even if at times it looked like they might not.
After the 3-2 victory Monday night, they are tied up now, two games apiece, it's a best-of-three series, and the image that remains is Hiller, who faced 49 shots – and for much of the night was simply impenetrable – finally going down on his back, a man in his net, realizing that, no matter what, he's coming back to Detroit for at least one more game.
Goalie down. Rookies flying.
Thrills, chills and spills
Before you knew how this game would turn out, before you leaped from your couch when that puck was sitting there waiting for Brunner to sweep it home, before all that, you knew something else. You knew it by the deafening noise, by the grinding skating – heads down, mouths agape, arms churning, legs burning – you knew it by the desperate chops at the puck and the flipping hard checks and their 40 plus-shots in the first three periods alone. You knew it by the thunderous chants at Joe Louis Arena with each thunderous hit, the crowd in a collective "YOU GOT KRONWALLED!" with a nasty Niklas Kronwall check.
This is what you knew: The Red Wings were fighting for their lives.
The difference between Game 3 and Game 4 of this playoff series was as obvious as the difference between spinach and ice cream. The Wings came into Game 3 on a high, came unraveled on a penalty, and came unhinged down the stretch, losing the game by four goals and Justin Abdelkader for two games and looking suddenly at no-option-but-to-win-it showdown in Game 4.
And after 60 minutes of regulation, after mistakes and retribution, after one (really, one?) power-play opportunity, the season, for all intents and purposes, hung on the precarious balance of overtime.
Mr. Smith's roller-coaster
But as we said, youth is funny. To that point, the story of the game had been best symbolized by Brendan Smith, the Wings' rookie defenseman. Smith is 24, and not long ago was carrying a stick for the Wisconsin Badgers. But here he was Monday night, in what could easily have been the Wings' final home game of the season, his team parched for goals, as dry as a buzzard's beak.
So what does he do? Gets caught in an awkward position after a puck ricochets off the back wall, gets stuck in a bad dance with teammate Kyle Quincy that leaves Smith poking around Quincy's legs like a kid who loses a marble under the kitchen table.
Too late. Matt Belesky, the Anaheim winger, swoops in, steals the puck, gets a rebound and fires on Jimmy Howard, whomping it off the goalie's pads for a score.
Stuff like that can't happen in a critical playoff game. But stuff like that happens when the culprit is 24 years old and playing in the fourth NHL playoff game of his life.
In a different world, a different career, someone might say, "Don't worry kid, there'll be better days." But in hockey, the better day can be a period away. Smith would tie the game with a hard shot from just inside the blue line. Goat to hero – with plenty of time to go.
A Pavel Datsyuk beauty would again tie the score at 2, and overtime loomed. It is often a time for big name heroes to take control. But on a night when Henrik Zetterberg had eight shots on goal – and none that went in – it was a Swiss rookie who sent the team leaping into each others' arms, and left the Anaheim netminder flat on his back.
Goalie down. Red Wings up. It's still a struggle, but youth is funny. It doesn't know any better. Which means anything can happen.
On we go.

Gary Sheffield Quotes
You have to ask yourself that. - Gary Sheffield
You got to do the right thing, you've got to live a certain way and do the right things that's required. If you're not doing it, you can't expect to be working for somebody. So they did what they had to do, and his situation I'm sure got to him and hopefully he can overcome it. - Gary Sheffield
You can't be sensitive... and play baseball. - Gary Sheffield
You can start out hot, you can start out lukewarm or you can start out cold. If you're a good team, it will show up in the end. And we are a good team. Baseball is played the way it's played - you can't just make something happen. - Gary Sheffield
Why should I have to prove myself again? Should I have to prove myself till I'm 40? I don't have to prove to nobody I can hit. How about you tell them not to pick it up. Tell him erase it. - Gary Sheffield
When you're an everyday player, not playing is very hard. It's worse when the games are close because you can't do anything about it. - Gary Sheffield
When you see Major League Baseball putting academies in other countries, obviously that throws up a red flag. You wonder why they ain't going up in our neighborhood. Bottom line, what I see, I talk about... I see it over and over. If anybody can show me I'm wrong, then show me. - Gary Sheffield
When you challenge me, I like my chances in a fistfight. On the field, I use the same approach. I'm going to win. And I'll do it by any means necessary. If you're not willing to go that route, don't come my way. - Gary Sheffield
When McGwire started the home run mania, attendance came back. The owners understood that the sudden spike in homers wasn't accidental. All baseball knew it. But baseball is run on money, and home runs meant money. Baseball turned a blind eye. - Gary Sheffield
When it's done, that's the right time. When it happens, I'm sure it will catch me off-guard and I'll be happy. And if it doesn't happen, I'll have to do what I have to do. I just want to put on the uniform and do what I do. It's the fans that make me play the way I play. When I get the energy out of right field, especially in the Yankees uniform, those fans make me do what I do. I couldn't have played with one arm in Colorado. You can't motivate me enough to do that. Only the Yankees fans bring that out of me. - Gary Sheffield

Q: Groupby, mutate a new column based on conditions of one column is in the specific ranges of another numeric column Given a df as follows:
df <- structure(list(group = c("A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B",
"B"), pred_val = c(22.52, 21.87, 31.45, 21.45, 19.99, 13.96,
15.97, 6.5, 19.89), actual_val = c(21L, 21L, 21L, 21L, 21L, 16L,
16L, 16L, 16L)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -9L))

Out:
group pred_val actual_val
A   22.52   21
A   21.87   21
A   31.45   21
A   21.45   21
A   19.99   21
B   13.96   16
B   15.97   16
B   6.50    16
B   19.89   16

Let's say I'll need to groupby group column then create a new column acc_level, more specifically, for each group, if pred_val is in the range of actual_val ±2, then returns good as acc_level, if in the range of actual_val ±5, but not in actual_val ±2, then returns medium, outer of those ranges, then return poor.
How could I achieve that use dplyr or other packages in R? Thanks.
Pseudo code:
df %>% group_by(group) %>%
  mutate(acc_level = case_when((pred_val isin actual_val ±2) ~ 'good', (pred_val isin actual_val ±5) ~ 'medium', otherwise ~ 'poor'))

Expected output:

A: df %>%
   group_by(group) %>%
   mutate(acc_level = abs(pred_val-actual_val),
          acc_level = case_when(acc_level <= 2~'good',
                                acc_level <= 5~'medium', TRUE~'poor'))

# A tibble: 9 x 4
# Groups:   group [2]
  group pred_val actual_val acc_level
  <chr>    <dbl>      <int> <chr>
1 A         22.5         21 good
2 A         21.9         21 good
3 A         31.4         21 poor
4 A         21.4         21 good
5 A         20.0         21 good
6 B         14.0         16 medium
7 B         16.0         16 good
8 B          6.5         16 poor
9 B         19.9         16 medium

A: Here is another option using fcase from data.table:
library(data.table)

setDT(df)[, acc_level := fcase(
  abs(pred_val - actual_val) <= 2, "good",
  abs(pred_val - actual_val) <= 5, "medium",
  default = "poor"
), by = group]

Output
    group pred_val actual_val acc_level
   <char>    <num>      <int>    <char>
1:      A    22.52         21      good
2:      A    21.87         21      good
3:      A    31.45         21      poor
4:      A    21.45         21      good
5:      A    19.99         21      good
6:      B    13.96         16    medium
7:      B    15.97         16      good
8:      B     6.50         16      poor
9:      B    19.89         16    medium

HSBC Tower Reaches for Record £1.1bn Sale
By Sean Martin
April 25, 2014 10:53 BST
The HSBC tower is back on the property market, and the estate agents are hoping to secure a record price. Reuters
HSBC Tower is back on the property market and the estate agents are hoping to fetch a sum that would be a new record for British real estate.
Canary Wharf's second tallest building, which serves as HSBC's global headquarters, is being represented by estate agents JLL and GM Real Estate. They are hoping to secure over £1.1bn (€1.3bn, $1.8bn) for the 1.1 million square foot office, reports the FT.
The £1.1bn price tag would make it the most expensive building in the capital, just slightly beating its own record of £1.09bn when HSBC sold the premises to Spanish property moguls, Metrovacesa in 2007.
HSBC took the building back into ownership towards the end of 2008 when Metrovacesa came across financial difficulties, only for it to be sold again the following year to NPS, the South Korean national pension fund for £800m.
HSBC has a 13-year lease on the tower. The marketing of it signifies resiliance in London Property market.
The rude health of the 44-storey sky scraper contrasts the fortunes of one of London's other iconic buildings after it was reported yesterday that the Gherkin's owners have placed it in receivership.
Deloitte was called in to act as receiver after "Adverse interest rate and currency movements have caused the total senior liabilities secured by the property to increase materially."
When IVG Immobilien AG and Evans Randall purchased 30 St Mary Axe in 2007 for almost £600m (€729m, $1bn), they paid for part of it through a 15-year loan which has since turned sour.

Q: How to bring up a separate view when a search bar is clicked? [SwfitUI] I'm trying to implement a search bar that brings up a separate view (see Twitter example).

How is this implemented? My initial thought was to somehow use a NavigationView to wrap around the search bar view, and when user clicks on the search bar, calls NavigationLink that'd bring up the separate view.
But is this the right way? The Twitter example doesn't seem to display NavigationView elements like the "< Back" button, nor does the animation transition match.

A: FocusState is a state, but it sets a variable. Therefore, you can key off that change with an .onChange(of:perform:) like this.
struct ContentView: View {
    @FocusState var isFocused: Bool
    ...
    var body: some View {
        TextField("TextField", text: $text)
                .focused($isFocused)
                .onChange(of: isFocused, perform: { newValue in
                    print("focus")
                })
        ...
    }
}

It won't work if you use it on other TextFields, but is will trigger on this.

#Saudi boost for #sukuk market
Wed, 2016-11-09 15:29 — newsdesk
The international sukuk market received a major boost when Saudi Finance Minister Ibrahim Al Assaf confirmed that the kingdom's public debt issuance programme will not be limited to conventional bonds and that sukuk will play an important role. The global sukuk market had a flat year in 2015, impacted by the slump in the price of crude oil and other commodities. The signs are of a rebound this year, with sukuk issuances already reaching US$50 billion in the first four months of the year. The Saudi announcement augurs well for the sukuk market next year. The Saudi Finance Ministry had also stressed that the kingdom plans to raise US$120 billion from the international markets by 2020. Saudi bankers expect a debut Saudi sovereign sukuk early next year and stress the need for a well-structured public borrowing policy in the international market.

Local banks' #sukuk value still lagging
Thu, 2016-10-20 10:17 — newsdesk
#Malaysian banks may have dominated the sukuk market but in value terms the world's top three sukuk managers, namely HSBC, Standard Chartered and JPMorgan Chase are ahead of any of the local top banks. Second Finance Minister Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani said that despite accounting for 54% of the global sukuk issuances, the country still lags behind global banks. He said local banks could not compete on this front because Malaysia lacks the presence of an Islamic mega bank. Malaysia had in the last 12 months issued 25 of the 30 largest sukuk issuances which collectively totalled US$37 billion (RM154 billion) in value. Thirteen of these sukuk offerings were domestic offerings. Johari urged the 57 member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to consolidate their capabilities to produce higher global gross domestic product (GDP).

'MBSB's Islamic banking strategy will spur growth'
Mon, 2016-08-22 12:14 — newsdesk
#Malaysia Building Society's (MBSB) move to strengthen its presence in Islamic banking is in line with majority shareholder Employees Provident Fund's (EPF) endeavour. MBSB president Datuk Ahmad Zaini Othman said being a prominent Islamic player would help the firm's growth plan. MBSB aspires to graduate from a non-lender into a full-fledged Islamic bank to increase its competitiveness. For the first six months ended June, MBSB's net profit dropped 53.4% to RM97.8 million, despite an 11.6% jump in revenue to RM1.6 billion. The first-half results were below estimates, with operating income declining 1.8% as management continued to focus on corporate loans portfolio in place of the higher-yielding personal financing portfolio.

Rise in Islamic banking assets
In #Malaysia islamic banking assets now stand at 27% of the total banking system, surpassing the targeted 20% under Bank Negara Malaysia's financial sector master plan. Bank Negara governor Datuk Muhammad Ibrahim said there were now 27 players offering more than 100 financial products compared with fewer than four Islamic banks and takaful players before 2000. The Educator's Manual on Shariah and Practical Operational Standards was launched on Tuesday to enhance the quality of education. Of the 14 syariah standards that are being developed by Bank Negara, Murabahah is the first series in the educator's manual. The manual for other contracts will be developed gradually.

#Sukuk SRI at a crossroads
Tue, 2016-07-19 14:02 — newsdesk
Over the last two decades, Islamic finance and socially-responsible investments (SRI) have become essential part of the development discourse. These two have seen the most rapidly growing areas of finance, of which Islamic financial assets have grown by 15-20% a year and its volume in 2014 exceeded US$2 trillion (RM8 trillion), while the SRI assets globally in the same year soared from US$13 trillion to US$20 trillion in two years. The principles of Islamic finance share common threads with SRI. These commonalities provide opportunities for Islamic finance to broaden its portfolio by tapping into the large amount of SRI funds available in global market.
Malaysia already started in August 2014, when it launched its Sustainable Responsible Investment Sukuk Framework to facilitate the financing of SRI initiatives. SRI sukuk can act as a compass for investors in the creation of shared value within society.

S&P: Global #sukuk market likely to undergo correction
According to Standard & Poor's the global sukuk market is expected to undergo correction for the next 6 to 18 months. The total issuance of sukuk fell in the first half of the year by 12.5% in contrast with the booming conventional debt as the oil exporting countries tapped the market to raise funding. The correction in the sukuk space started with Bank Negara Malaysia's decision last year to stop the issue of short-term sukuk and switch to other instruments for liquidity management for Islamic financial institutions. S&P global head of Islamic finance Mohamed Damak said the positive news for sukuk is that the European Central Bank is opening its liquidity tap and with yields low, that could push investors to look at the sukuk market. He added that the sukuk industry needs more standardisation otherwise volumes will likely remain low.

Politics of Islamic finance in #Turkey
For over three decades Turkish governments did not dare speak the name Islamic banking for fear of being branded radical. These institutions were officially named special finance houses, profit-and-loss banks, interest-free banks and more recently, participation banks. Now Islamic finance public policy is elevated to a pivotal position in the official management of the Turkish economy.
Ankara has recently embarked on a wholesale restructuring of its participation banking sector, which has seen the entry of three new banks including Ziraat Participation Bank, Halk Participation Bank and Vakif Bank. This brings the total number of participation banks in Turkey to seven including the four established ones, Kuveyt Turk Participation Bank, Albaraka Turk Participation Bank, Turkiye Finans and Asya Bank. Ankara is also keen in making Turkey a leading proponent of Islamic finance and developing Istanbul into an international financial centre.

Bank Negara studying changes needed to adopt #fintech
Bank Negara is reviewing the changes needed for the adoption of financial technology, or fintech.
As Bank Governor Datuk Muhammad Ibrahim said at the Global Islamic Finance Forum the bank wants to ensure that the regulatory framework remains appropriate to manage the risks, while encouraging productive innovation. Fintech has immense potential in Islamic finance. An estimated 10 to 40 % of overall banking revenues could be at risk by 2025 due to fintech innovations, according to a McKinsey research and CB Insights.

#Islamic finance's strong position
According to a report by Ernst & Young (2015), there were more than 300 Islamic financial institutions worldwide in more than 70 countries with Islamic banking assets estimated to reach US$1.6 trillion. The strong position of the Islamic financial institutions is largely attributed to the inherent stability of the Islamic financial system. Despite the achievements, Islamic banks are criticised due to favouring debt-based contracts rather than the equity-based contracts. This results in a lack of financial innovations aiming at financial inclusion, particularly to the poor in rural areas in the form of Islamic micro-financing.

The Malaysian government, via special purpose entity Malaysia Sukuk Global Bhd, has successfully priced the 10-year and 30-year benchmark sukuk papers at 3.18 and 4.08 per cent. The new sukuk format uses non-physical assets to underpin the agency-based transaction wakala, instead of the traditional use of physical assets. Finance Ministry secretary-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah said Malaysia has strengthened its position as a top investment destination.

Islamic banking's challenges and goals
Strong views were recently expressed by the Muslim Consumers Association of Malaysia that the Islamic banking and finance industry follows the letter but not the spirit of Islam. Islamic finance (IF) is developing at a remarkable pace. However, Islamic banking is now being accused of operating in a similar fashion as its conventional counterpart, and being skewed to more profit and business-driven interests than serving the real needs of a just society. The heart of Islamic finance involves a risk-sharing spirit, which does not prevail in the practices of contemporary Islamic banks. The importance of independent Syariah supervision will significantly influence the development of the Islamic capital market.

Bahrain Central Bank Governor Rasheed Al Maraj said while there were some headwinds recently, the long-term growth picture within its strongest markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia remained robust. There is a clear demand for Shariah-compliant financial products and services. As the industry matures, it is able to do more to meet that demand, he explained. Rasheed also highlighted that it was imperative for the industry to continue addressing challenges that could hamper longer-term growth such as investment in education and training.

The company last issued dollar-denominated debt in 1996, when it sold 100-year conventional notes. Bankers' proposals for TNB's sukuk programme had to be submitted by the end of this week. TNB is rated "BBB+", the third-lowest investment grade by Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings. The yield on the company's existing conventional dollar bonds due 2025 climbed 31 basis points last year to 4.39 per cent and was 4.33 per cent yesterday.

Maybank Islamic Bhd CEO Datuk Muzaffar Hisham noted that SRI Sukuk can also be the avenue for financial inclusion which has been strongly championed by the Islamic finance industry as a whole. RHB Islamic Bhd CEO and managing director Ibrahim Hassan said any project has to first be attractive to investors. The next stage will then be to choose the best funding option, and this is where the incentives for SRI Sukuk could make it a cost-effective option.

Reviews– The MFC-J430W impressions from outings and faxes from a PC, and it works as a standalone fax machine and copier. It also has a feeder 20-page register set (ADF) to supplement the letter-size flatbed, so that you can scan multi-page reports and legal size paper. What you will not find highlights photo-centric are similar to the openings in memory cards or PictBridge support for printing from cameras, The printer does not support cable system, however, it is compatible with Wi-Fi, which will give the opportunity to share in a small-scale office or at home. Outside the double of the printer home and home office, in any case, it is more suitable for a totally individual printer as a result of their limited role care, with a plate of 100 sheets without duplexing, and takes the role of alternative care.
The emphasis in the use of office extends to the quality and performance of MFC-J430W rate, with a lot more notable results of business reports for photographs. For speed photography, conversely, the MFC-J430W is on the moderate side, averaging 1 minute 59 seconds for a 4-by-6. The ESP C310 did not take that as a fraction of the time, at 44 seconds.
The quality of performance also supports business applications, with content that is superior to any standard for a multifunction printer inkjet and more than enough for most business purposes. The illustrations are nothing short of stunning. Despite the fact that performance in my tests was effective enough for any internal business use, the quality was somewhat shy of what you'd need to set a higher return could be a customer or client imperative. I saw some bands in the default mode, for example, and the pitches were a little dull rather than dynamic.
Photographs are usually standard for a multifunction inkjet printer however sparingly. Most of the photographs in our tests were in the lowest of what to expect from drugstore prints, with hints occasionally oversaturated end. I'd call it worthy for previews, but not suitable on the off chance that you need your photos to look great.One other point worth mentioning is the guaranteed low cost per page, at 3.8 cents a page high contrast and 11.3 cents a page of shading. Both numbers are low on any printer in this cost. In fact, the MFC-J430W is basically a match at this point for the Kodak ESP C310, which claims a current expense under one of its key focuses deal.

As a human resources specialist for many years, I've seen it all when it comes to job applications. Most disheartening were those applications in which applicants had not addressed the specified selection criteria .
Many well qualified and extremely able candidates fail at job interviews simply because they are unaware of the conventions of the job interview and the expectations of the interviewer.Successful candidates, on the other hand, manage to impress prospective employers precisely because they know how to present themselves.

Q: Creating a pandas pivot table to count number of times items appear in a list together I am trying to count the number of times users look at pages in the same session.
I am starting with a data frame listing user_ids and the page slugs they have visited:
user_id page_view_page_slug
1       slug1
1       slug2
1       slug3
1       slug4
2       slug5
2       slug3
2       slug2
2       slug1

What I am looking to get is a pivot table counting user_ids of the cross section of slugs

.
slug1
slug2
slug3
slug4
slug5

slug4

slug5

I realize this will be the same data reflected when we see slug1 and slug2 vs slug2 and slug1 but I can't think of a better way.
So far I have done a listagg
def listagg(df, grouping_idx):
    return df.groupby(grouping_idx).agg(list)
new_df = listagg(df,'user_id')

Returning:
          page_view_page_slug
user_id
1        [slug1, slug2, slug3, slug4]
2        [slug5, slug3, slug2, slug2]
7        [slug6, slug4, slug7]
9        [slug3, slug5, slug1]

But I am struggling to think of loop to count when items appear in a list together (despite the order) and how to store it. Then I also do not know how I would get this in a pivotable format.

A: Here is another way by using numpy broadcasting to create a matrix which is obtained by comparing each value in user_id with every other value, then create a new dataframe from this matrix with index and columns set to page_view_page_slug and take sum on level=0 along axis=0 and axis=1 to count the user_ids of the cross section of slugs:
a = df['user_id'].values
i = list(df['page_view_page_slug'])

pd.DataFrame(a[:, None] == a, index=i, columns=i)\
   .sum(level=0).sum(level=0, axis=1).astype(int)

       slug1  slug2  slug3  slug4  slug5
slug1      2      2      2      1      1
slug2      2      2      2      1      1
slug3      2      2      2      1      1
slug4      1      1      1      1      0
slug5      1      1      1      0      1

A: Let's try groupby and reduce:
from functools import reduce

dfs = [pd.DataFrame(1, index=list(s), columns=list(s))
      for _, s in df.groupby('user_id')['page_view_page_slug']]

df_out = reduce(lambda x, y: x.add(y, fill_value=0), dfs).fillna(0).astype(int)

Details:
group the dataframe on user_id then for each group in page_view_page_slug per user_id create an adjacency dataframe with index and columns corresponding to the slugs in that group.
>>> dfs

[       slug1  slug2  slug3  slug4
 slug1      1      1      1      1
 slug2      1      1      1      1
 slug3      1      1      1      1
 slug4      1      1      1      1,
        slug5  slug3  slug2  slug1
 slug5      1      1      1      1
 slug3      1      1      1      1
 slug2      1      1      1      1
 slug1      1      1      1      1]

Now reduce the above adjacency dataframes using a reduction function DataFrame.add with optional parameter fill_value=0 so as to count the user_ids of the cross section of slugs.
>>> df_out

       slug1  slug2  slug3  slug4  slug5
slug1      2      2      2      1      1
slug2      2      2      2      1      1
slug3      2      2      2      1      1
slug4      1      1      1      1      0
slug5      1      1      1      0      1

Optionally you can wrap the above code in a function as follows:
def count():
    df_out = pd.DataFrame()
    for _, s in df.groupby('user_id')['page_view_page_slug']:
        df_out = df_out.add(
            pd.DataFrame(1, index=list(s), columns=list(s)), fill_value=0)

    return df_out.fillna(0).astype(int)

>>> count()

       slug1  slug2  slug3  slug4  slug5
slug1      2      2      2      1      1
slug2      2      2      2      1      1
slug3      2      2      2      1      1
slug4      1      1      1      1      0
slug5      1      1      1      0      1

A: Let's use self-join on user_id with merge and pd.crosstab to count:
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO

txt = StringIO("""user_id  page_view_page_slug
1       slug1
1       slug2
1       slug3
1       slug4
2       slug5
2       slug3
2       slug2
2       slug1""")

df = pd.read_csv(txt, sep='\s\s+')

dfm = df.merge(df, on='user_id')
df_out = pd.crosstab(dfm['page_view_page_slug_x'], dfm['page_view_page_slug_y'])

df_out

Output:
page_view_page_slug_y  slug1  slug2  slug3  slug4  slug5
page_view_page_slug_x
slug1                      2      2      2      1      1
slug2                      2      2      2      1      1
slug3                      2      2      2      1      1
slug4                      1      1      1      1      0
slug5                      1      1      1      0      1

For repetition of data, let's try:
dfi = df.assign(v_count=df.groupby(['user_id', 'page_view_page_slug']).cumcount())

#Let's filter some unnecessary joins with query
dfi = dfi.merge(dfi, on=['user_id'])\
         .query('page_view_page_slug_x != page_view_page_slug_y or page_view_page_slug_x == page_view_page_slug_y and v_count_x == v_count_y')

df_out = pd.crosstab(dfi['page_view_page_slug_x'], dfi['page_view_page_slug_y'])
df_out

Output:
page_view_page_slug_y  slug1  slug2  slug3  slug4  slug5
page_view_page_slug_x
slug1                      3      3      3      2      1
slug2                      3      2      2      1      1
slug3                      3      2      2      1      1
slug4                      2      1      1      1      0
slug5                      1      1      1      0      1

DS Smith Continues Expansion in North America
June 19, 2019	Off	By Sebastian Reisig
DS Smith announces its further expansion in North America with the opening of its new headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Its growth into the North American market follows its acquisition of Interstate Resources and Corrugated Container Corporation, and The Display Connection.
The company's momentum and leadership in environmental and sustainability stewardship in Europe offers a launchpad for its expansion in North America, and comes at a time when consumers seek more options for sustainable packaging.
DS Smith's closed-loop recycling model – where paper and corrugated is collected, recycled and then used again to make packaging materials – has proven successful in Europe, helping the company to manage more than 5 million tons of recyclable materials every year. The company's expansion into North America is a response to global and local customer requests for similar sustainable packaging solutions in North America.
"We've always thrived on finding innovative ways to help customers achieve more for less – sell more, reduce costs, manage risk and complexity in their supply chain," said Miles Roberts, Global CEO of DS Smith. "For years, we've helped companies across industries—from pharma and consumer packaged goods to retail and e-commerce—to redefine packaging across the world, and this expansion marks a key milestone in our journey to bring our innovative business model to the U.S."
